After the immigration ship left Nagasaki, Hao Zhongyi had a new job - taking classes.
This morning, Hao Zhongyi was called into the meeting room on the ship with extreme confusion.
More than fifty people entered the conference room one after another. After asking each other, they found that everyone was from Ming Dynasty.
They are all managers responsible for teams of various sizes.
Soon after, an officer in his thirties entered the conference room, stood on the podium and began to teach these Ming people.
"You are all the people of my Ming Dynasty, and you are all the bones and flesh of my Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of our Ming Dynasty people.
“Our ancestral roots may be in the far south and the north, but after we leave the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, our ancestral roots are all in the Ming Dynasty.
“Whether it is the local chief envoys, internal or external vassal states, or consortiums and imperial estates, they are all part of the Ming Dynasty.
“Unless the court has special provisions, all legal systems are subject to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty...
"We need to master the most basic Ming laws and learn how to manage and guide foreigners..."
Intermittently, various types of information were continuously poured into Hao Zhongyi's head.
In most cases, when I was in school, I had never heard of this kind of information, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
I often feel bored and want to sleep during class or go play after class.
But now, after I have become the manager of a group of people, these contents become meaningful.
"The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty people, not other people's Ming Dynasty..."
"We are Ming people, so we are the masters and superiors of those foreign races."
"My ancestral home is Shandong, but I am also from the Ming Dynasty. Because my ancestral home is the Ming Dynasty, I am a native of the Ming Dynasty..."
As for the subsequent legal system, it tells oneself how to manage foreigners and how to deal with various affairs.
After the theoretical class, other officers took the Ming stewards, including Hao Zhongyi, to shoot.
They learned how to operate and maintain firearms on the immigration ship. After practicing for three days, each person was given a pistol.
There is also a matching armed belt and magazine, which can be hung directly on the body openly.
A standard Yanling knife was also issued, which together with the pistol served as a status symbol.
Hao Zhongyi felt that his job was becoming more and more interesting, and he began to feel that it was indeed more interesting than being a chef.
The immigration ship left Nagasaki and headed south, along the island chain and coastline. When it arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, another group of Siamese and South Vietnamese gathered together, and Hao Zhongyi added another 24 people to his team.
There are a total of sixty-four people and more than forty families. If you directly manage them yourself, it is no longer possible to cover everything.
Hao Zhongyi divided them into four groups according to the method learned in class, with ten families in each group.
As long as they live independently, whether they are a single person or a family of several, they are considered a family unit.
Hao Zhongyi asked his younger brother Hao Jizhi to find another one who was of mixed Ming and He ethnicity, and two who were of mixed Ming and Korean descent. These four people served as team leaders and each managed ten families.
After the immigrant ship passed through Malacca, a group of Nanyang people, a group of Luzon people, and a group of Burmese people joined the team. After passing through Tianzhu, they were joined by a group of Tianzhu people, a group of Persians, a group of Khiva and Kazakh Tatars.
The people of Nanyang, Burma, and Luzon were okay. Even the natives knew some Ming Dynasty elegance and could barely understand the orders.
The Indians, Persians, and Tatars really don’t understand.
However, the Ming Dynasty obviously took these things into consideration when recruiting immigrants.
Among all ethnic groups, not only the natives are the only ones, but also some mixed descendants of the Ming Dynasty and the natives.
Most of these mixed-race people understand both the Ming Dynasty Yayan and the local dialect, and they are ready-made translators.
After Hao Zhongyi's own consideration and the experience he learned in class, he chose to appoint several smart translators as deputy team leaders.
The team leaders are all mixed-race and tribal or Korean.
This is also a natural choice. Among all the ethnic groups in the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the He people and the Koreans have the highest status.
They have the closest image to the people of the Ming Dynasty and are most strongly influenced by the Ming Dynasty.
When they are overseas, as long as they don't self-report their identities, the foreigners can't tell the difference between them and the Ming people.
A few South Vietnamese and Luzon people had some objections and tried to use obsequious tactics on their captains.
The North Korean captain went to Hao Zhongyi to report it, and the He clan captain beat them up directly.
After Hao Zhongyi learned about the situation, he organized a picket team based on the knowledge he learned in class to maintain the discipline of the immigrant team.
The picket team punished the captain of the He clan who had a private fight, and also punished the South Vietnamese who were disobedient.
Hao Zhongyi's prestige once again reached a new level, and the order of the immigration team quickly stabilized.
The follow-up time was still very long. Hao Zhongyi felt that there was nothing to do on the ship anyway, so he personally took the translators to teach the natives the commonly used Daming dialect.
Daming dialect is the lingua franca of the world. Being able to speak the elegant dialect of Daming is a symbol of nobility and cultured people.
Ordinary natives usually don't have the opportunity to learn, but now that they have the opportunity, they are extra attentive.
The immigration boat kept going until early March before finally arriving in Meng County.
The city of Mombasa has been renamed Mombasa County.
The center of Mengxian County is a bay deep inland.
The bay bifurcates internally into two small bays, with an oval-shaped island in the middle of the bifurcation.
The current county seat of Meng County is on this island.
Both sides of the island where Mengxian County is located are natural deep-water harbors, and the water depth in most areas exceeds 20 meters.
On the channel entering the bay, the shallowest water is more than fifteen meters, and a ship of 100,000 tons can dock directly.
On the entire east coast of Mozhou, except for Egypt in the north and Nanmozhou in the south, Meng County is almost the only large port.
The importance of this port is self-evident. The permanent fleet facing the Little Western Ocean is likely to use Meng County as its home port.
The immigration ship docked at the Mengxian pier. When Hao Zhongyi got off the ship, he was followed by six team leaders, more than 60 immigrant families, and a total of more than 120 immigrants from different races.
Even the Persians, Indians, and Tatars who were the last to board the ship now understand a few basic sentences of Ming Dynasty.
Most of them can already recognize their own names, and a few can even write their own names.
Hao Zhongyi led a large group of people and followed the guide on the pier to the reception desk. He reported the number of immigrants and the number of families he led. After the officer at the reception desk checked and confirmed the information, he issued a document for Hao Zhongyi to sign.
After completing the formalities, Hao Zhongyi received a sign and followed a Ming Dynasty official into the city to his future residence.
Meng County is a thousand-year-old city. The earliest credible records were left by the Great Cannibal in the ninth century, but the actual origin of the city is obviously much earlier than the records of this latecomer.
Meng County is the most important port in Dongmozhou. It was originally the land of the Mozhou people. Zheng He's fleet of the Ming Dynasty once arrived here.
Later, the Arabs, Tianzhu people, Persians, and the Portuguese, British, and Germans in the West all competed for this territory and left their own traces.
Now that this city is in the hands of the Ming people, the addition of various ethnic groups from China under the rule of the Ming Dynasty has brought the ethnic complexity of this city to a peak again.
If the proportions of various ethnic groups in Meng County were made into a pie chart, with each ethnic group having a color, it might look like a kaleidoscope.
The architectural styles in the city are extremely complex and varied, with almost every building on every street being different.
Hao Jizhi followed his second brother, looked at the surrounding houses, and couldn't help but mutter:
"These houses are too messy. They should be demolished and converted into Ming-style houses..."
The clerk in front smiled and said:
"Now if these houses are demolished, we will have no place to live..."
Hao Zhongyi and his party were taken to an Arab-style manor, where a group of more than thirty men and women were already waiting here.
The Ming Dynasty official who led the way smiled and introduced:
"This yard was left by the former noble slave traders of Oman. These people here were originally slaves of the slave traders. Now they have been liberated and handed over to you to manage.
"There are estimated to be more than sixty rooms in the yard, which should be enough for you to live in. Before the unified dormitory in our factory is repaired, you can make do with living here.
"There is a well in the yard and there is food in the warehouse. Let's all take a good rest these two days. We will start learning to work in the factory the day after tomorrow. Someone will call you then."
Hao Zhongyi has become accustomed to it. Every once in a while, there will be an additional group of people under his management.
Now I agreed as a matter of course, and after saying goodbye to the officer, I went to inquire about the situation of these newly liberated slaves.
Among Hao Zhongyi's team, there are Persians and Tianzhu people who understand the food language and Ottoman Turkic language. There is no problem in dealing with these Omani slaves.
These newly liberated slaves may not be adapted to an independent life, so Hao Zhongyi broke them up and divided them into the six existing groups and assigned them to the six group leaders.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Then he left the ordinary immigrants in the yard first, and took the team leaders around in a circle inside and outside the yard.
Figure out the general layout of the yard, assign living areas to each group, and arrange patrols and cooking.
Then let the team leaders go out to lead ordinary immigrants and arrange them into specific areas they are responsible for.
Hao Zhongyi naturally handed over the management of food and water in the yard to his brother.
Hao Jizhi, who originally planned to open a canteen, started doing general logistics work in advance.
Hao Zhongyi himself naturally lived in the slave merchant's room, which was the master bedroom of the entire yard.
This exotic room is much larger than Dad's room at home.
Sitting on the soft big bed in the room, looking at his son looking around curiously, Hao Zhongyi felt that this life was really good.
It's much more interesting than staying in Edo Castle and working as a cook.
Hao Zhongyi's immigration team repaired for two days and were led into the factory three days later.
It was a large yard located behind the city. There were several factories that had been repaired, and more factories were being built.
This is a textile and clothing industrial park under construction and testing.
Except for Hao Jizhi's team who went into the kitchen, everyone else went to the workshop to learn how to operate the loom and make a kind of fabric that they thought was very strange.
Weaving uses silk threads that look like silk, but are many times stronger than silk.
The thicker fabric can't be torn even if it is woven.
