The reign of Wanli has completely different significances to the people of Daming.

For example, the new guests welcomed by Ireland, a shaky and dilapidated blessed ship docked at the mouth of the Lagan River in the east of Tyrone. On the crowded deck, there were countless people with Ming faces lined up to get off the boat and landed on this land that was almost completely unfamiliar to the Ming people.

This ship used to belong to Li Yuxi, but now its bow is called Zhang Si, which has only been from Nanyang to Dadongyang for less than two years.

Zhang Sisheng was in the fairy trip of Xinghua Prefecture.

Most of the people with great treacherous and evil are extremely brave. Zhang Si does not have that courage, but he is not willing to be born in this life and listen to the legend of others getting rich overnight.

To be honest, Zhang Si felt that he should have been a good person in the past.

A good person who is kind, hardworking, and useless.

When Japanese pirates were rampant and fellow villagers plunged into the Nanyang, where the imperial court prohibited ships, he stayed outside the city to farm, holding a surplus of four or five taels of silver all year round, living a life of peace and complying with himself.

The Japanese pirates were driven to Xianyou by the Qi family army. His land was burned. The government did not provide compensation and he did not follow his fellow villagers to the county government to petition. He was busy applying for the recruitment and transporting food and grass to the Qi family army that suppressed the Japanese pirates, opening roads and building bridges, and making a lot of effort.

Later, after losing his livelihood, he went to help the inspection department run errands and worked as a yamen runner for the county government. Although life was difficult, he never complained about anything.

Just as Mr. Longqing opened the sea, merchants, people, and officials rushed into Yuegang... He was bold and tried every means to get the ship to lead him. He drove the ship out of the sea to make money every day, and he also followed him to Yuegang because the wages given by the Yuegang terminal were one cent higher than that of the servants in other places.

Later, as time went by, he became interested in going out to sea, but he couldn't do business.

The big men with capital go to sea and take several boats, hundreds of clan brothers and nephews, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cargo to sell overseas, which is a sure profit. The civilians in Guizhou who have no capital, at least five or six people, and at most dozens of people, each carrying a bag with something they can buy, renting a boat to sea, and not talking about people and goods on the road. If they avoided the Japanese pirates who were still leaping on the sea like mosquitoes after autumn, they would lose all their money if they didn't do it well.

Because they knew little information, big merchants sold porcelain, satin, cotton cloth, and ironware abroad.

Zhang Si also carried a big package. He was careful on the way, even if his colleagues asked questions, he just smiled and did not answer. What was his package?

Sixty-six pairs of straw sandals!

Before going to sea, Zhang Si was familiar with this thing. He could wear a pair of the best quality straw sandals in five or six days. One pair costs three cents of silver. After the land was destroyed, he borrowed money to make a living. Later, he became a yamen runner and Lifu, so he really couldn't save much money.

With a savings of four taels of silver, I changed to sixty-six pairs of straw sandals.

He thought that no matter where this thing is, who doesn't need to wear shoes? What other people say can earn three times as much as a piece of cotton cloth. He is too honest and doesn't believe it.

But he thought that the quality of these straw sandals was so reliable, so how many pairs could be sold for a quarter of silver? Then he would make more than one or two taels of money this time. At that time, he would buy some spices in Luzon, and he would always make money when he came back.

No matter how bad it is, as long as we have enough food and clothing, our people in the heavenly kingdom know more than the barbarians?

As a result, when I arrived in Manila, people there really didn't wear shoes.

Common people have thick layers of calluses on the soles of their feet, which are much more wear-resistant than straw sandals. Who can respect straw sandals for the soles of the great officials?

Later, his experience can be imagined. In Manila, where he has no relatives, he can be said to be displaced.

In a barber shop run by Chaozhou people, he repaired his beards and swung sled hammers in the mines. Of course, the most skilled person is to start his old job at the port of Macheng and move goods to others.

Another retreat did not give him much chance to perform.

Zhang Si really has no ability. He needs to be capable and has no connections. All he has is the identity of the Ming people.

The problem is that there were too many people in the Ming Dynasty, and there were no shortages of people in the Ming Dynasty in the south of China.

He even walked through the farmlands outside Manila, and when he met the Luzon tenant farmer, he asked: fellow villager, can you farm? I came from the Ming Dynasty. I understand the farm tools, cultivated land, and fertilization. Let me meet your master.

As a result, he was from Quanzhou, with a temperament that he had just come out of the countryside and became rich overnight. He rode a tall horse when he left, and dressed in silk clothes when he got in. He wore three lion national gem rings on his hands that belonged to the farmer. He told him with a smile that he had been hired by the landlord to guide his childbirth, so he could find another place.

Zhang Si experienced the same situation no less than four times, and it was like this every time, which hit his confidence... After going out to sea, he was still the one who competed with him as a mother Ming Dynasty.

The real life of dissatisfaction with the Nanyang Military Palace's publication of the people of the Celestial Kingdom to conquer the ocean. Especially in the era when Gao Gong was in charge of the Nanyang Military Palace, it seemed that the whole world would compare the Ming Dynasty and open the sea. The Nanyang Military Palace's series of major events were compared to the poor thinking of change, and when changing, it would be open, and when it would be prosperous, it would be prosperous, and when it would be prosperous, it would be helpful to the world.

But isn’t Zhang Si a person in the world?

Why do he think about change when he is poor, and if he changes, he will be blocked. If he is blocked, he will be even poorer. If he is poor, he will think about change again?

He is not a bad person. When he was in the poorest and poor, he didn't think about going to steal and rob and harm people. He would forget that he was not flexible, and he didn't see anyone helping him.

Could it be that if a Ming citizen wants to make a name for himself overseas, he must be with swords and guns? Indeed, the words are said in the book, all the generals grew up from small soldiers, but Zhang Si cannot join the army.

After years of hard work, his back pain was always hurt. In his early years, the axle that was pushed to the Qi family's army was broken and injured his foot bones. He is still a little lame when walking, so he is asked to fight with people and divide his life and death. Isn't this a life-and-death death?

Later he heard that the Eastern Military Prefecture and Western Barbarians had found a Changsheng County. In recent years, the gold and silver transported to the court by the Eastern Ocean increased year by year. There was a legend that gold was everywhere in Jincheng and gold could be found from the river. It attracted many brave people to abandon their families and businesses and take the boat to drive towards Changsheng.

Maybe Zhang Si himself didn't feel that life did not give him much kindness, but the hardship of poverty gave him more desires and courage than others, and his courage was indeed getting bigger and bigger.

He didn't make a personal move and didn't want to go home. He made the second move to Changsheng, the headquarters of the Eastern Military Palace, and this time he tasted the sweetness.

Although he ran several rivers alone in the wilderness of Jincheng alone throughout the winter last year, but failed to find a piece of gold, he had 500 acres of land leased to New Spain to escape from the people's fields.

This time, Zhang Si was helped.

Experience allowed Zhang Si to learn to summarize his experience, but there was only one experience that really made him change his destiny: to go to the newly opened land of the Ming Dynasty, the fewer the people he traveled with, the more opportunities he had!

So, he bought a Dafu ship that was about to fall apart from Li Yuxi's company, and the ship was loaded with losers who had the same idea as him in Daxi Port.
