Chapter 172: Set out for Daming

After talking about some other things, Xiao Minggan took Lin Feng and Li Dan for lunch. (Novel Hand-made) For the whole day after that, Xiao Minggan accompanied the two old men around Tamsui Town.

The next day, after drinking and chatting with Lin Feng, Li Dan left Dan with satisfaction with Xiao Ming. However, Lin Feng, who had finished everything, lived in a place southeast of Tamsui, and built a good manor there, leaving all the other things to Lin Hongwen and Lin Jiayi, and of course their family.

During this meeting with Lin Feng and Li Dan, Xiao Minggan got a lot of things. The most important thing is their relatively strong talent reserve, especially the network that Lin Feng has established over the years, which greatly alleviated the lack of talent in the military government, and made the military government relatively perfect. The grassroots personnel are enough to cope with the current management requirements. Although there is also a defect in allowing the Lin family's power to occupy too much voice in the military government, Xiao Minggan can't care about so many things in the current situation.

On the eighth day of March, fifteen maritime merchants finally left the port. This was a brand new ocean trade journey with Japan. Not only were the routes different from the past, but the goods were also different from the past. Artillery, white sugar and fine salt developed by Xiao Minggan later became the three new commodities for trade with Japan.

Although these commodities do not occupy very large space, their value is not low at all. The three items have combined to reach more than 900,000 taels of silver.

This was Xiao Minggan's first attempt. Except that the price of artillery had been set, the sugar and salt had not been confirmed at all. It was completely left to the maritime merchants to negotiate on their own, and finally the interests were held together. After this time, these two products would be sold to maritime merchants at 60% of the market price and they would sell them.

After sending the maritime merchants away, Xiao Minggan temporarily put this matter down and devoted himself to self-training, daily training of the joint guards, new product development and improvements in steel, artillery and glass. As for the affairs of the military government, except for more important matters, Xiao Minggan usually rarely cares about it.

Until March 20th, Xiao Minggan took Shi Yuan and Song Tianniu onto the ship to the Ming Dynasty.

"Minggan, when you are away, you must take good care of yourself. The Ming Dynasty is not as good as our Taiwan Island. Don't be able to make a move, do you know?"

Xiao Tian clarified Xiao Ming's clothes and told him worriedly that his worried expression was beyond words.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for myself. As long as the other party doesn't provoke me on his own initiative, I won't do anything randomly."

The mother's concern made Xiao Minggan feel warm. If he was an ordinary child, he might look impatient, but Xiao Minggan had an adult mind after all, and he cherished this warm family affection. He was the best thing to cleanse Xiao Minggan's mental fatigue.

"Brother Minggan, Brother Minggan, I will definitely be very obedient."

Since she heard that Xiao Minggan and her dad were going to play in the Ming Dynasty last night, Song Erniu, who had never left Changyan Village, pestered Song Tianniu and asked Song Tianniu to bring her with her. Song Tianniu refused, so she ran to find Xiao Minggan.

As expected, Xiao Minggan certainly rejected her. For this reason, Song Erniu lay down in the quilt and cried for more than an hour. So, Song Erniu was entangled here again.

"Erniu is good, you have something big to do with your brother Ming. Can we not cause trouble for him? As long as Erniu is good, my aunt will take Erniu to Tamsui to have fun tomorrow, okay?"

Xiao Tian picked up Song Erniu and coaxed her. When she heard that she could go to Tamsui to play, Song Erniu was still a little reluctant, but in the end she stopped getting involved in this matter, which made Xiao Minggan feel relieved.

"Mr. Governor, this is the highest token of our fifteen maritime merchants. Holding it, you can get help from any shop engraved with this pattern. If you hold it, it may be of some help to you."

Wu Yundong handed Xiao Minggan a gold medal engraved with a delicate and complex pattern, and pointed to a pattern on a piece of paper and said to Xiao Minggan.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu. With the help of these shops, many things will be much easier." Xiao Minggan took over the gold medal and sincerely thanked Wu Yundong.

"No need to thank you, this is what we should do. I know the military force of the Governor. But I still give me a message. In the Ming Dynasty, Governor may see a lot of unfair things, some of which may be very miserable, but Governor must not force himself, otherwise he may offend some major forces."

Wu Yundong, as an elder, told Xiao Minggan with concern. He knew that Xiao Minggan was a very kind person who had to see justice, but at this time the Ming Dynasty was filled with injustice. If he had to take care of everything, then Xiao Minggan would be unable to move in the Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu. Minggan understands that in the Shura world, even Bodhisattvas can hardly save them. I will not be so naive that I can manage all the unfair things in the world."

Xiao Minggan knew what Wu Yundong was worried about, and at the same time he knew how much he was now. At this time, all he could do was look at with his eyes and experience it with his heart, and at most he could say a few words with his mouth. As for his hands, it would take many years to wait.

Moreover, even in the forces he will establish in the future, he will not be able to completely cut off unfair things. All he can do is to make such unfair things happen as little as possible.

Tang Hongsheng, who also came to see him off, said nothing because he believed that Xiao Minggan would handle the things he encountered. To see the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Minggan must experience it personally. Only by acting can you truly understand what Xiao Minggan told Tang Hongsheng that Tang Hongsheng would not stop his master from going up to experience the sufferings of the people like those corrupt scholars.

So, what Tang Hongsheng did was just patting Xiao Minggan's shoulder and said in encouragement:

"No need to worry about Taiwan Island"

"Thank you sir"

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Minggan took Song Tianniu and Shi Yuan on the way westward.

West Lake has been a tourist destination with rich cultural heritage since the Song Dynasty. If you want to compare West Lake with West Lake, it is always appropriate to make up and apply light makeup. It is about the beauty of West Lake. Especially in March, there are always a few literati and poets in the north who will come to the bank of West Lake with the slight willows and rain to express their feelings.

In such a beautiful season, the beautiful scenery on the banks of Xizi Lake also made Xiao Minggan, who had just entered Zhejiang, enjoyed the warm and gentle spring breeze. Xiao Minggan also had an illusion: this world is so beautiful that people don’t need to think about those annoying annoyances. But this is just an illusion after all.

The reason why Xiao Minggan came here was not because Xiao Minggan wanted to see the beautiful scenery on the banks of Xizi Lake, which was not covered by commercialism in this era, but because one of Xiao Minggan's main goals this time, the decathlon doctor, well, was a doctor. Because of the young man's unrestrained temperament, he couldn't get up, so he ran to the West Lake to make friends with martial arts.

"Haha Shi Yuan, tell me, would that Chen Yuanyun come to the edge of the West Lake to attend a martial arts conference?"

Xiao Minggan thought of Chen Yuanyun's family telling him that when Chen Yuanyun went to the West Lake to attend a martial arts party, his surprised expression couldn't help but make a joke with Shi Yuan.

"It is possible, at least it can also play a professional role in treating doctors at the martial arts conference."

After entering the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Minggan certainly could not let Song Tianniu and Shi Yuan call him the General Manager. Finally, with Xiao Minggan's insistence, the three of them pretended to be the uncle and nephew who were traveling everywhere. And after a few days of adaptation, Song Tianniu and Shi Yuan were now able to have a relaxed conversation with Xiao Minggan.

"That's true. His superb medical skills are at least a major advantage that distinguishes him from others." The two of them were joking with Chen Yuanyun.

"Do you know Chen Yuanyun?" Just as Xiao Minggan and Shi Yuan were joking, a young man sitting on a stone bench next to him suddenly asked, frightening Xiao Minggan and others.

I saw this man who was about 23 or 24 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, in the Jiangnan area, he was quite outstanding. His thick eyebrows like ink silkworms were placed horizontally on his pair of smart big eyes, making him look very energetic. His strong figure made him look very alternative on the edge of the West Lake where most of the literati with thin figures gathered. Of course, Song Tianniu is even more alternative.

But at this time, the alternative young man seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, stared at Xiao Minggan and the other two with vicious eyes, and asked Xiao Minggan and the other three in an unkind tone.

"I don't know him, but a friend mentioned him to us. He said that he was very skilled in medical skills, but he was not doing his job all day long and caused trouble everywhere, and he was a bad young man."

Xiao Ming looked at the person in front of him, and said with a slightly raised mouth, "Many of me also said that I am a model for not being correct, so I want to meet this like-minded Chen Yuanyun."

The young man glanced at Xiao Minggan helplessly and said helplessly: "Okay, stop pretending. I am Chen Yuanyun you are looking for, so stop scolding the bald man in front of the monk."

"Hahaha, this is a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Brother Chen as soon as I arrived in West Lake. We are so destined to be."

In fact, when the other party asked a question, Xiao Minggan knew that the other party was not Chen Yuanyun himself, but also a friend who was familiar with Chen Yuanyun. With his funny expression, Xiao Minggan could be 100% sure that this person was Chen Yuanyun, whom Tang Hongsheng strongly recommended to Xiao Minggan.

"Brother Chen is here to make friends with martial arts? Why, it's over?" Xiao Minggan asked curiously...
