    Qiongzhou Prefecture, Baisha Port Wharf.  New URL:

    Zhang Ling and Zhang Ruheng, the newly appointed generals of Qiongya by the Ming Dynasty, stood on a high slope, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going below, feeling quite emotional.

    After just a few years of development, it has become the busiest and most active commercial and trade center in South China and even Asia, and the intersection of Eastern and Western goods.  Silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, horses and fabrics from Central Asia, spices from the South Sea, gold and silver from the Americas they all land through this port and are exported to the large market next to it. It can be said that there is a dazzling array of everything.

    But the most core competitiveness here is Hainan Island’s own “specialties”, which are various industrialized products sold by Qionghai Trading Company and produced in short-haired factories. This is the fundamental reason why businessmen from all over the world continue to come here.  The rest of the goods were just brought by them in exchange.

    Industrialization's plundering of traditional handicrafts, agriculture, and mining products is particularly evident here. Often a thing with low technical content is sold only here and cannot be copied elsewhere.  The price is definitely the only one. It is clear what short hair means to a "monopoly product".  Just like the technical level, no one in the world can compare with them in terms of economic concepts.

    But even so, merchants from all over the country are still flocking in, also because they are familiar with economic theory. The price offered by Qionghai Trading Company will definitely not kill the goose that lays the goose, but will instead make those merchants feel that they are making a lot of money.  Every tael of silver they spend here can earn them three or even four times the profit when resold.

    The only thing that can prevent them from making money is the production, delivery speed, discounts, and the relationship with the trading company. The last one is directly linked to the previous ones.  Therefore, here, anyone who can establish some relationship with the trading company will be enthusiastically sought after by foreign businessmen.

    For example, Zhang Ling himself realized at this time how unwise it was for him to stand and look up from a high place. It was easier for him to see others, and it was equally convenient for others to see him.  Although he was wearing plain clothes today due to personal matters, familiar merchants still quickly recognized him, and then a steady stream of people came over to greet him, say hello, and arrange for drinks and play dates Zhang Ling instantly fell into a large group of regular customers.  Surrounded by merchants.

    “The purpose of people trying to please him like this is of course very clear: they want to get more goods from the trading company.  Although Zhang Ling is not considered a member of Qiong Haijun in terms of establishment, he is still considered an official of the Ming Dynasty.  It was precisely because the imperial court felt that he was so steadfast and loyal that he was promoted in an unusual way. He was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank Qianhu and also served as General Qiongya. He was regarded as the highest-ranking military attache of the Ming Empire in Hainan Island.

    But Zhang Ling's real management position is here: all the garrison forces at Baisha Port Pier are commanded by him. Qiong Haijun still trusts him in this regard. Zhang Ling is not a flower vase here, but the real commander of the troops.  .  Commands the Baisha Port Security Battalion, a combat unit of more than 600 people.

    Although there is no direct affiliation with the trading company, as the commander of the port's military forces, no one dares to underestimate Zhang Ling's power and relationship in this regard.  Zhang Ling doesn't often appear at the port. It's a rare opportunity to please him in person, so of course he won't miss it.

    Zhang Ling is no longer the stupid young man he was back then. He has been following Shorthair for several years. If nothing else, he has naturally moved closer to them, at least in terms of how he behaves in the world, or in terms of "three views".  There is no longer the common Ming Dynasty people's idea of ????"people are divided into noble and inferior".  Although I knew that these merchants were greeting me with little thought, I still responded to them politely.

    With great difficulty, Zhang Ling quickly jumped off the slope and found an inconspicuous place to stay.  Then, he had no choice but to send his personal followers out to find out the news.  After waiting like this for a while, a follower finally came back and shouted happily:

    "Young master, it's coming! The passenger ship from Fuzhou has arrived at Pier 17."

    Zhang Ling immediately stood up and walked quickly over there.  He knew the layout of the port very well, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the end of the field and see the ship disembarking passengers.  Zhang Ling immediately came closer and, like many others who came to pick up people, he opened his eyes wide and searched for the passengers who were getting off the boat.

    After a while, he was recognized by others first.

    "Brother, brother, we are here! Here!"

    “ She is obviously a girl, but the only one who dares to shout in such a loud voice in public is his fearless girl.  Because he was still on the boat and had a better view, he recognized Zhang Ling first.  The latter immediately followed the sound, and his eyes fell on his own girl, but only stayed for a moment, and then immediately turned to another woman next to her.

    Although wearing a gauze curtain hat on the head,?His face was covered, but Zhang Ling knew exactly what kind of face there was underneath.  Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, he still firmly believes that it must be the most beautiful face in the world.  After several years of lovesickness, more than ten years of waiting, and finally the result came today, he was really excited.  So much so that he turned a blind eye to the little girl's greeting, which really made Zhang Xiaomei sulky.

    Zhang Ling waited impatiently for a long time. Finally, when they got off the boat, he hurriedly walked over. Before they got close, someone suddenly jumped out of the thorn and rushed towards the mausoleum with teeth and claws.  Although the latter's attention was focused on the front, his reaction was not slow at all. He blocked it with one hand, and already made a fist with the other hand. Using the knuckles as phoenix eyes, he struck at the opponent's throat as fast as lightning.

    Only halfway through the fight did I realize something was wrong, so I quickly spread my fingers to weaken the strength. Even so, I had already grabbed the opponent's throat, which made the opponent roll his eyes and cough repeatedly.

    "AhemBrother, why are you so cruel now? You almost killed me with just one move."

    Zhang Ling reluctantly let go of his hand and looked at his brother Zhang Lu, the little tail who admired him the most since he was a child and always followed him around like his little sister. He was just a little kid when he left home. Now he is also  He has grown into a big boy.

    Although he had already known from the telegram that he was coming this time, the brothers still felt a bit strange when they met, and the fact that they were meeting made him feel slightly embarrassed.

    But the advantage of being an elder brother is that he can teach his brothers a lesson confidently:

    "Old Liu, boxing and kicking are meant for beating and killing people. It's not a joke. It's better not to make such jokes in the future. If you accidentally hurt someone, you will regret it."

    The majesty of his elder brother, coupled with the aura of murderousness naturally brought about by many years of commanding the army, immediately suppressed the sixth son of the Zhang family so that he did not dare to speak anymore, so he had to shrink to one side and muttered in a low voice:

    "Isn't this what my family has taught me since I was a child? You should always be on guard against sneak attacks. If you have the ability, tell your father But the eldest brother's majesty is now even stronger than that of my father It's no wonder that the officials are even more powerful than my father.  Big.”

    The brothers had not seen each other for many years, but when they met, they inadvertently gave each other a blow. Zhang Ling also felt a little helpless.  However, Zhang Lu's unintentional words reminded him that he had been hanging out with short-haired men for a long time, but he should not forget these basic etiquette, so Zhang Ling stood in awe with his hands lowered and asked with a straight face:

    "How are you, father and mother, these two old people doing lately?"

    When it comes to the parents' high status, naturally he can no longer smile playfully, Zhang Lu also quickly responded seriously:

    "It's all good, but dad's temper is getting worse, especially after knowing that your official position is higher than his Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, there aren't many generals in our old Zhang family."

    Zhang Lu's character was out of control, and he couldn't help but go off topic after all. Zhang Ling also knew that this brother couldn't be serious, so he asked some about the current situation of his family. After getting the answer, he stopped talking and looked at Zhang Xiaomei, who was following him.  The woman who came.

    "You came."

    This voice was much gentler than that to his own brother, and the other person only gave a low "hmm".  Zhang Ling couldn't help but want to hold the other person's hand, but he immediately thought that this was not a no-man's land.  The atmosphere here in Shorthair is open, which is not the case in their hometown in Shaanxi. Their arms were hanging in the air for a while.

    Fortunately, Zhang Xiaomei spoke in time and relieved him of his embarrassment. The girl had a cheerful personality. Although she was angry because Zhang Ling ignored her just now, she had forgotten it now.

    “It’s okay, brother, you can hold your sister-in-law’s hand. I have already married you and you are here!”

    "ah?"

    Zhang Ling was shocked. He sent his sister back this time, just hoping to convince his family and father-in-law to let his fiancée come to Hainan Island to get married.  But he didn't expect that his family had already organized the wedding for him?  His father had been asking him to give up his position here and return to Shaanxi to continue serving the imperial court. How could there be such a big change all of a sudden?

    There are many doubts in my heart, but it’s hard to ask too many questions on this busy pier. I’ll go home first.  So Zhang Ling reached out to the other party again, but this time he took the small package she was carrying and held it in his hand, and took her arm by the way.

    When men and women travel, men should help women carry their bags. This is the most popular "short hair rule" on Hainan Island today.  But in the eyes of a few country bumpkins from Shaanxi, they were all dumbfounded. They were treating guests to dinner, and even the old women couldn't serve them.  The eldest son of the Zhang family has always been dignified and steady. When did he become sosoft?

    Only Zhang Xiaomei, who went to school here, knows what is going on. Of course she agrees with the "short hair rule" with both hands and feet. When she went out with her brother in the past, Zhang Ling would help her as a matter of course.take things.  However, this time the elder brother ignored her and made Zhang Xiaomei jump around in anger:

    "Brother! Brother! My package is obviously bigger!"

    But Zhang Ling had no time to pay attention to her at all. He just whispered to his fiancée oh, I should call her madam now talking and chatting.  Remembering that she was the one who prayed for him, Zhang Xiaomei became even more angry.

    After looking around, Zhang Xiaomei simply thrust the package into the hands of her sixth brother Zhang Lu:

    "Hold it for me!"

    "What are you doing? You have no hands or feet?"

    Zhang Lu said dissatisfiedly that the age difference between the two of them was not much, and they had grown up laughing and joking together. Zhang Xiaomei was more favored at home, but outside, Zhang Lu's status as a man was much higher.

    However, Zhang Xiaomei is more confident than him:

    "This is the rule here! Since you have come to Hainan, you must abide by the rules here!"
