The operation went smoothly from beginning to end, and Liu Yong was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Bring it here to meet him, so he can feel at ease."

The man was brought over quickly. For safety reasons, his mouth was blocked and his upper body was tied tightly. After being taken into the warehouse, the leaders who did not rush onto the boat to catch people were a little surprised. Because this man was very strange, everyone looked at his face. It was indeed the appearance of a man with a high nose and deep eyes. But except for this, the rest were dressed as a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. He was dressed in a Confucian robe and a blue shirt, and even his beard was in the style of the Ming Dynasty. His tall figure was ordinary.

In Liu Yong's feeling, this Johnson Tang is very different from the people he met in Xuzhou. It's not that he is dressed, but that he is dressed up, but that he is very quiet. He does not have the passion for wealth and power among Louis and others. However, Liu Yong didn't say much, but just asked casually: "What's your name?"

"I'm going to give you a look. I'm here." The Cham bowed as a greeting, but just as he was about to ask a question, Liu Yong made a gesture, and someone immediately blocked Cham's mouth again.

"As long as you are obedient, you can save your life." Liu Yong ordered and waved his hand to take the person away.

“Dear Dean:

Sorry, I have the opportunity to send you a letter to you now and tell you the magical experience I have experienced. When I picked up the pen, I tried to suppress the excitement in my heart and try to calmly narrate my recent experience. However, I think even if I narrate it, I am afraid you will be stunned by what we have experienced!

Although I had imagined that I would go through countless difficulties before heading north from Macau, I really didn't expect that I would be forced to take away by someone, and from the moment it seems that I have no chance to enter the capital of the Ming Empire again.

Please don't worry about me. Although I say that, I am not in danger of my life now. In fact, I fell into the hands of a polite and polite big shot.

I'm afraid you've been confused by my narrative? I'll try to explain my journey to you in detail.

What makes us most pleased during our long and magical journey is that we have a very good guide. This guide was recommended to us by our colleagues from the Jesuits in Macau. As they expected, this guide was very satisfied with us. It was through his spare time that we were able to travel through this vast and magical country without fear of any misunderstandings from the official and local gentlemen.

His name is Liu Wei, and he is a northerner of the Ming Empire. He was able to travel thousands of miles to Macau from his hometown in the north and convert to God. This is a very legendary experience. After learning his story, we may be able to have a deeper understanding of the customs and peoples of this empire. When I first met him, I learned the northern mandarin of the Ming Empire with him almost every day. I forgot to explain to you that the official common language of this empire is different from the southern languages, just like in Europe. I listened to him with relish and talked about his own personal experiences. Maybe he exaggerated it to make me more fascinated, but even if only a small part is real, then this respectable guide's life experience is as rich and varied as me. For the sake of the subject, I will not mention these stories here. If I have the chance in the future, I will tell you some stories.

Back to the topic, after gaining enough confidence in my language level, I decided to set out north and start the great journey of my dreams, but we suffered the kind of surprise that still scary when we think about it. As a result, under the trick of fate, we did not go to the capital of the Ming Empire as expected, but finally fell into the heart of the empire. If this was God's will, I can only say that His idea was too unpredictable and completely unexpected.

Relying on our faithful guide, he tried his best to tell us his past experiences in these places, introduce the customs and cultures here, and even recommend local food to us. Fortunately, we still have money left to allow us to enjoy various flavors of food along the way, which also made the journey of being escorted a lot.

My experience next was much more magical than I expected.

Under the patrol escort, we came to a city called Qingjiangpu. When the city was still in Macau, our guide had mentioned it to us many times. He said that this is an incalculable city with wealth and prosperity that is unmatched in the world.

I thought he had exaggerated it at the time.

I have been to Guangzhou and originally thought it was already one of the most glorious cities in this country. Even if the capital of the Ming Empire was larger than it, other cities should not be more prosperous than it. However, after seeing this city, I realized how deviated from reality.

He said it was true, and even he didn't say it enough, we did come to the most prosperous and wealthiest city I've seen!

Located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Canal, this city is one of the most important hubs of the country's north and south arteries. Every day, millions of bushels of grain, as well as countless other goods, gathered from the empire's countryside or towns, and continuously concentrated into the city. Then, through this never-ending waterway, it is transported to all parts of the empire's north, and finally to support the country's brain - the capital on the northern border.

When we came to this city, it was an afternoon. On the wide canal, full ships were slowly sailing. Countless transport ships using hard sails kept flowing on the canal, dyed almost golden under the sunset. What a spectacular scene? According to the guide, because the river section further north has frozen, there were much fewer ships at this time than the peak season. Oh my God, it is hard to imagine the number of them during peak season.

On both sides of this waterway are countless buildings and countless people. After seeing this scene, I must admit that it is the most prosperous and magnificent city I have never seen, and my guide is right.

You know, this empire has a canal system worthy of being proud of. It has been repaired and maintained for hundreds of years, and is even longer than the history of the Ming Empire. After immeasurable efforts, the ancestors dug through thousands of miles of canals, connecting the entire water system of the empire, several rushing rivers, almost each of which was longer than the Rhine River flowing through my hometown, and became the transportation artery of the entire country. What an amazing project, I pay tribute to these ancestors!

While we Europeans were still struggling to survive in the ruins of the Roman era, the people here had already completed such a grand project and created an extremely magnificent city. What kind of respectable nation is this! If they could become believers of the Lord, what kind of glory will it bring to God? I couldn't help but feel the sense of mission that made my heart boil.

Please don't feel confused. In my hometown and on the land of Germany, we have also built many canals to help us transport goods. It is precisely for this reason that we can better understand the efforts required to build and maintain such a huge canal system.

I have been to Hamburg. It is a developed port city with a prosperous business and a huge population. But I must admit that compared with this city called Qingjiangpu, it can only be compared with it. I don’t know how many generations of efforts it will be able to compete with such a city? I hope that one day will be like this.

At the same time, I also noticed that this city is different from other cities seen in my Ming Empire - it has no walls and no daunting defense facilities. It is a city created by commerce and transportation, and it has grown in endless material exchanges, completely different from those cities developed because of fortresses.

This city reminds me of our German Hamburg, which is also a prosperous commercial city. The goods from the entire Baltic region are gathered there, and it also brings invaluable wealth to the city. Of course, I must admit that this city is more prosperous than Hamburg.

This city has one essentially the same thing as Hamburg, that is, they are not actually in the hands of princes or feudal lords, but in the hands of merchants with huge financial resources. This is particularly strange in the Ming Empire, which has always despised business. I guess this may be because the ruling family relationship between these great merchants and the Ming Empire is very close, which has caused this place to fall into a state of balance, and can only be governed through the co-governance of merchants.

A huge wealth will bring huge power, and I heard from the patrol that their masters had a huge share here, and it was hard to imagine how much wealth he had, but I am sure he would be richer than any prince of Germany.

When it comes to hamburgers, I remembered another thing.

When I left Europe, the land of Germany had been disturbed by religious wars. The apostate princes in the north used force to fight against the emperor's army. The war had already burned in many places, tormenting our poor people?

Alas, I really hope that my hometown of Cologne and Hamburg, these brilliant cities can avoid this terrible fate! I sincerely believe that God will bless his devout believers. When I just left, I thought I would not think about my hometown, but now when I leave the country thousands of miles away, I often miss everything about it, hope! Please tell me more about the current situation of Germany when I reply to my letter in the future. Thank you.

Okay, let's get back to the point, let me continue to tell you what we encountered later.
