Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1704, one person comes, a hundred people come back
In the Governor's Mansion of Hong Kong, Jiang Liang did not leave right away because there were many tasks to be handed over at work. It would take a few days for the handover to be completed, so he still lived in the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, the entire Governor's Mansion was busy, and Jiang Liang's dozens of concubines were busy packing their things, ready to return to Daming with Jiang Liang.

Dozens of children were even more noisy, and the entire governor's mansion was so noisy that there was no trace of peace.

The only thing is that there are too many children, the key is that the oldest one is only seven or eight years old, and the younger ones are still babbling, and are taken care of by the servants and servants of Jiang Liang's house.

Jiang Liang kept walking in the governor's mansion.

The most important place in my life is here, I have lived here for several years, now I have to leave, I still have too much reluctance.

Here he reached the pinnacle of his life, the governor of Hong Kong, and the local emperor here.

Here, he took dozens of concubines, these concubines were sent by nobles from various countries in Europe, some were the daughters of European nobles, and even some European noble ladies, and some beautiful female slaves he bought with his own money .

It can be said that he enjoyed every day here extremely, living a comfortable life like an emperor.

Here, he gave birth to dozens of children, big and small, men and women, a basket of baskets, many of which he himself can't remember the names, and he is tired of choosing names.

Here, he met the ministers sent by the kings of Spain, France, and England, as well as the ancient nobles in Europe, and discussed how to protect the interests of the Ming Empire here.

Here, Jiang Liang achieved the most glorious moment in his life.

Standing at the Governor's Mansion, overlooking the bustling Hong Kong, the sea breeze blowing in front of you, and the countless ships moored here at the port pier, recalling the scene when you left Daming.

Back then, I was just an ordinary person, and my ancestors were poor farmers for generations.

Later, by chance, he became a crew member of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., followed Du Mingen to explore the Golden Continent, and accidentally discovered that he had a talent for languages, and then came to Europe and traveled around European countries.

Later, he became Ming's envoy to Europe, followed Du Mingen to fight against England, and occupied Hong Kong. After a series of life opportunities, he became the governor of Hong Kong.

He still remembered that this place was still a small fishing boat at that time, and there was no place for larger ships to anchor, but it seemed like overnight that this place became bustling and lively.

High-rise buildings sprung up like mushrooms after rain, the roads were widened, and the city became prosperous and lively. The Governor's Mansion was also built under his auspices.

Now I'm going back to Daming all of a sudden, that's absolutely impossible.

But looking at the children everywhere in the mansion and the concubines who are busy packing things and being soft, it seems to be worth it.

He came alone, and now he was finally going back to the Daming people, but he was going to bring hundreds of people back.

Look at the big boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, and the boxes are piled up in rooms.

During these years in Europe, Jiang Liang, as the governor of Hong Kong, naturally earned a lot of money.

This is not corruption, nor is it abusing power for personal gain.

As the group of people who went to sea the most, and the first Daming people who arrived in Europe, he is very aware of the huge profits of sea trade.

Like countless people who go to sea, Jiang Liang also has his own business firm and his own merchant ship. He just does sea trade formally, and he has accumulated a huge family business over the years.

Selling Ming's goods to Hong Kong and reselling them to European merchants will double the profits, and then resell European goods and slaves to the Golden Isle for sale, which will double the profits.

That is to say, there are many large and small commercial firms here, and those big commercial firms have huge backgrounds, occupying a large market share of trade.

Otherwise, Jiang Liang, the governor of Hong Kong, could earn even more. The annual tax here is more than 2000 million taels. One can imagine how huge the wealth passed here is.

Jiang Liang has accumulated a huge family business of millions of taels of silver by just getting a commodity and a fleet.

Now that they were going back, they naturally had to bring back most of their wealth. Boxes, big and small, filled up every room.

"Honey, can't we just live in Hong Kong without going back?"

Just when Jiang Liang was overlooking Hong Kong in a daze, several of his concubines came over, all teary and reluctant to leave Hong Kong.

This time I left Hong Kong all of a sudden and went to the far east, and I may never come back again. In Hong Kong, I can occasionally meet my parents. This time, I am afraid that I will never see them again in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, these days, Jiang Liang's concubines also often go back to their natal homes to bid farewell to their parents.

"Yeah, my dear, living here in Hong Kong is so comfortable, why go back to Daming after so much trouble."

"The children are reluctant, and many of them are still very young. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the bumpy journey."

The other concubines also followed suit.

"What do you know, women and men, you don't know anything, you just need to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog."

Jiang Liang looked at the women in front of him, they were all his favorite concubines, but he still scolded them with a straight face.

I don't want to go back to Daming either, but can I not go back?
A paper transfer order from the imperial court is an imperial decree, and it will not work if you don't go back.

Now I can go back in a beautiful way, and I can still be a leisurely official when I go back. When the children grow up and I am old, I can go back to my hometown, return to my roots, and go back to my hometown to retire with peace of mind. .

Hong Kong is good here, but the imperial court has the court's laws. It is already against the rules to let me stay here for so many years, and it is impossible for me to continue to stay here.

If you resist the imperial decree, and now there is another telegram, this telegram is sent to the Hong Kong Garrison, and you will be the first to take it down.

If you give yourself a big hat for disobeying the imperial order and wanting to split the land and divide the borders for rebellion, then you will be punished by the nine clans, and you don't know how to die.

On this point, Daming now attaches great importance to it.

Daming has a vast territory, and there are many overseas places, which are far away from Daming. In order to strengthen the control and jurisdiction of these places, officials are appointed to manage them.

Flowing officials, flowing officials, floating officials.

It is absolutely impossible for you to stay in one place for a long time. I am afraid that if you stay here for a long time, you will become the emperor of the country, and then you will be called king and emperor, resisting the court and so on.

Therefore, there is also a system for local officials to return to Beijing to report on their duties on a regular basis, and it also stipulates that officials in a locality will flow regularly.

Those from the Golden Continent were transferred to the Western Regions, those from the Western Regions were transferred to Australia, those from Australia were transferred to the Golden Continent, or those from the mainland were transferred overseas, and those from the overseas regions were transferred back to the mainland.

Where will you stay in one place all the time, it will come in turns.

For those officials who disobey the imperial order, the end will be miserable. Once the order arrives, you must abide by it, and dare not have any resistance, otherwise it will be regarded as treason and a felony that will implicate the nine clans.

"Clean up everything early, let's go back to Daming early, and give up this Governor's Mansion."

Jiang Liang reprimanded his concubines.

These concubines are all natives of Europe, and there are people from various countries. They don't understand the rules of Ming Dynasty. Europe is not too big, but there are many countries, largely because European countries are completely different from Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized great unification, but European countries are different. In fact, each region and each country is divided into small parts. Although it was unified in history, it soon split up again, and even a small country like England has internal differences. Torn apart, a small island is divided into several parts, let alone other countries.

They couldn't understand the great unification of Ming Dynasty, and couldn't understand why such a huge empire as Ming Dynasty could always maintain unity.

A few days later, it was still here at Longwan Wharf.

The new Hong Kong Governor Tang Bohu held a grand farewell ceremony here for Jiang Liang who was about to leave.

Two large ships were moored at the pier, and Jiang Liang's gold, silver and other soft goods were moved to the ship at night. At this moment, under the farewell of thousands of people at the port, Jiang Liang brought his dozens of A concubine, dozens of children, and hundreds of people from the entire family boarded the ship back to Daming, and returned to Daming in a mighty way.
