"Get up, don't go to sleep!" Zhang Jinbao yawned and muttered, "You were supposed to get up early to serve me, but now it's the other way around! Is it plausible? Everyone smells like alcohol, so hurry up and wash up !"
When he returned to the inn last night, he found that none of the students were there, leaving only a letter in the room, saying that a local student from Sanya had invited them for a night out.There is no curfew in Sanya, so there are many places to play at night. Although Zhang Jinbao has never been there, he also knows that the young people’s temperament is like this, and there is no need to worry about the local security, so he rested before the students came back. .
But when he woke up early in the morning, he found that the students hadn't brought the wash water to the room as they did a few days ago, so he got up and went to the room where the students lived. These guys must have been quite drunk last night.
After the students were awakened, they hurriedly got up from the bed, got dressed in twos and twos, hurriedly said "Morning Dean" to Zhang Jinbao, and then hurried out to wash up.Zhang Jinbao shook his head, thinking that Sanya is really a different world of flamboyance from Danzhou. These students are honest people who behaved well in the academy. Unexpectedly, they have only been in Sanya for a few days, and they have already learned to sneak out to drink and have fun at night.
When it was time to sit around and have breakfast, Zhang Jinbao asked them what happened last night.
It turned out that when these students traveled around Sanya a few days ago, they met several local students.Young people have many topics in common, and it is easy to make friends. After some chatting, they became familiar with each other. However, because the people from Jonesy Academy could not stay in Sanya for a few days, it was convenient for them to make an appointment to host them for a night tour in Sanya before they left.It just so happened that Zhang Jinbao was going to attend the official martial arts competition yesterday, so these students came to make a show first, left a letter at the inn and slipped out.
The local young man who was the host hired a sailing boat and invited these Danzhou visitors to go fishing. Then, with the freshly harvested fish and shrimps, the hired cooks cooked them on the boat, and then drank a small amount of water while the sea breeze was blowing. Drink and talk about various topics.
It is said that this kind of activity is the favorite of some high-ranking officials in Haihan, and it slowly became popular among the people to be imitated.However, rich and well-known businessmen generally don’t like this way of socializing, because going to sea is really not a pleasant experience for businessmen, but those young people who are proud of the Haihan lifestyle quickly learned this A pastime for the upper classes of society.
Of course, these young people who had almost no overnight troubles would not understand that the purpose of this kind of activity arranged by Haihan senior officials was to temporarily leave the working environment to relieve stress.They just use it purely as a form of entertainment, and completely copy the arrangements of the dignitaries, only sea fishing and eating and drinking, and there will be no singer, dancer, storyteller appearing on the boat to spoil the mood.
However, in order to have fun, there were originally arrangements to go ashore to other places after the sea fishing activities were over, but everyone chatted happily on the boat and did not return to the port until after dark.However, these people from Jonesy Academy are usually less socialized and overwhelmed with alcohol. At this time, they couldn't bear to go to the next appointment, and worried that Zhang Jinbao would inquire about their whereabouts after returning to the inn, so they took the initiative to leave and agreed to meet again next time. Bye bye.
A group of people sneaked back to the inn and found that Zhang Jinbao had already rested, and they went to bed with peace of mind at the moment, but they all failed to wake up on time in the morning when they got drunk, and they were still caught by Zhang Jinbao.
After Zhang Jinbao listened, he snorted coldly and said, "If I have the spare money to rent a boat to entertain you, I think the other party is not an ordinary person. Have you ever inquired about the other party's background?"
A student replied: "Dean, we have inquired about it. The two hosts yesterday are relatives of high-ranking officials. It is said that the family is in business."
When Zhang Jinbao heard this, he thought it was no wonder.The in-laws of high-ranking officials, even if they did not take the path of official career, must belong to the privileged class in the local area.Zhang Xin, the mayor of Danzhou, married a woman as a concubine in the local area. The woman's family was just an ordinary gentry, but now it has become one of the largest grain merchants in Danzhou.Naturally, this opportunity to make a fortune is closely related to the in-laws. There is no need for Zhang Xin to personally provide resources. Naturally, someone will try to provide convenience for him, and even take the initiative to send the opportunity to make money.
Sanya is the capital of the Haihan Kingdom, and the senior officials are already concentrated, counting down to hundreds of people.And there are countless in-laws enjoying the shade under these big trees.
Those who are lucky enough to climb high branches will generally receive a certain degree of care. If there is a suitable candidate in the family, they can be sent to a certain place to be a moderate official, and then slowly climb up through seniority.If it is not suitable for this bowl of rice, high-ranking officials will also give some resources so that they can quickly accumulate wealth through business.
And these young people from wealthy families not only have a lot of contacts in the local area, but also have a lot of property at their disposal that far exceeds that of ordinary people. The little money spent on eating, drinking and playing is just a small amount for them.
Zhang Jinbao saw that the students couldn't figure out the real identity and background of the other party, so it was inconvenient to talk about the other party at the moment, so he could only return to the topic, and advised the students to focus on their studies, and if they could come to Sanya for further study in the future , the academy will also distribute corresponding rewards to them.
In fact, Jonesy Academy has sent a lot of talents to Sanya over the years, and there are many students taught by Zhang Jinbao himself.However, perhaps because of the technical training route taken by Jonesy College, most of the graduates output are engaged in technical work, so so far there have been no influential senior officials.
This also makes Jonesy Academy's high-level contacts in Sanya almost non-existent. Every time Zhang Jinbao comes to Sanya, he is busy with entertainment. In fact, he also wants to get to know more high-level people through various channels, so as to accumulate resources for the academy and his own development. .Of course, if the students happened to take a certain shortcut, he would not object. After all, this is the capital of Haihan. Maybe the young man who drank and chatted with the students yesterday was the junior of a high-ranking official in Haihan.
Therefore, Zhang Jinbao didn't blame the students for their outrageous behavior last night, but asked them to pack their luggage after breakfast and prepare to leave Sanya later.
After about half an hour, someone came to Zhang Jinbao as expected.The visitor claimed to be Fu Ruifeng's buddy, and asked Zhang Jinbao and the students to pack their bags, and then they could go to the port with him to board the ship.
Zhang Jinbao said: "Brother, please let me know which pier you are going to board the boat. I will take the students to have lunch later, and you can find it by yourself."
The guy replied: "Principal Zhang, don't be so troublesome. My third young master ordered everyone from Jonesy Academy to wait on the boat first. As for lunch, a table has been reserved in the city, and someone will deliver it to the boat at that time. Everyone Dine on board."
"How embarrassing! The third young master is too polite!" Zhang Jinbao thought to himself that Li Nai really has a way of dealing with people. It's no wonder that he can chat and laugh with high-level officials from various countries these days. What about dealing with people who are easy to get along with?
Zhang Jinbao declined, but the guy still insisted, saying that this was Li Nai's sincere invitation, and if he couldn't invite everyone from Qiongzhou Academy, it would be difficult for him to do business at that time.So Zhang Jinbao had no choice but to ask him to wait for a while, and asked the students to take out all their luggage, check out, and set off for the port.
Looking at the entrance of the inn, Fu Ruifeng also specially sent two carriages over, one caravan was used to carry students and luggage, and the other carriage was a four-wheeled box carriage officially produced by Haihan.This kind of high-end carriage is generally only eligible to be purchased by high-ranking officials. Although Zhang Jinbao is regarded as a prominent figure in the local area, he has only sat in this kind of carriage with Zhang Xin twice.
With Li Nai's prestige and social status, owning such a carriage is naturally not a super standard treatment, but for Zhang Jinbao, it is a little flattering.He said to the guy: "Isn't this the third young master's special carriage? If it delays his business, how can Zhang be able to bear it!"
The guy said with a smile: "Dean Zhang, don't worry, I, Fu Ruifeng, have four such carriages in Sanya's branch. This one is not for the third young master, but for picking up distinguished guests like Dean Zhang. Please Bar!"
When Zhang Jinbao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly lamented Furuifeng's wealth. He had heard a wealthy businessman in Danzhou talk about the price of this kind of carriage with glass windows as a prominent feature. The most basic model alone cost more than 1000 yuan. If you want to upgrade more advanced wood, larger glass windows, more comfortable seats, better wheel shock absorption structure, add roof and rear luggage racks, windproof oil lamps, nameplate badges and other accessories, or even the whole car Custom-made, the price will also rise accordingly, even if it goes to tens of thousands.
As for an ordinary flatbed cart, the market price is only around [-] yuan, and with the addition of a canopy, it can be pulled together with people and goods. In comparison, this box-type carriage is simply a luxury.
Of course, even so, the sales of this kind of carriage are in short supply. I heard that in the Fuguang area of Daming, many wealthy businessmen regard owning such a carriage as a status symbol, and orders often have to wait for several months before they are expected to be delivered.If it is a complete vehicle order, the required man-hours will have to be doubled, so it is possible to wait for a year or a half.
When Zhang Jinbao got into the car, he noticed that there was a one-inch-wide and three-inch-long brass badge embedded in the door, which contained a reduced signboard of Furuifeng. Obviously, this carriage was not an ordinary carriage, but an exclusive order of Furuifeng. payment.The two pack horses pulling the cart are also slick. It seems that Fu Ruifeng attaches great importance to these facade details, and there are two words everywhere - rich.
After expressing his envy in his heart, Zhang Jinbao got into the carriage, and then the two cars, one in front and one behind, drove slowly along the landscape avenue in the direction of Victory Harbor.
When riding in this kind of carriage with Zhang Xin before, Zhang Jinbao was always trembling, not daring to stare around, so as not to offend Zhang Xin.Now sitting alone in the carriage, he can finally raise his head and watch the outside scene through the glass window.
Seeing the envious eyes of passers-by on the street, Zhang Jinbao sat upright unconsciously.He suddenly realized that the existence value of this kind of carriage is actually to set off the status of the rider, even if he is not the owner of the carriage, but in the eyes of unknowing passers-by at this moment, he must be either rich or expensive.
But this kind of experience ended soon. When the carriage arrived at a pier in Shengli Port, the guy came to open the door and asked Zhang Jinbao to get off.
"This is the boat of the third young master."
Zhang Jinbao looked in the direction pointed by the man, and he recognized that it was an exploration-class sailing ship, but compared with the navy model, it lacked the gun ports on the side of the ship, which made it look less aggressive.
Because it is equipped with multiple cannons, the Navy-type Exploration-class warship has a crew of [-] people. However, after changing to a civilian type, it is obvious that there will be no need for so many sailors on board, and more space can be freed up for relatively comfortable sailors. Living Space.Li Nai let all the group of Johnsy Academy take his boat, even if the number of people doubled, they could still live there.
At that moment, the staff had called several sailors to disembark to help deliver all the luggage of Zhang Jinbao and his party to the ship, and then bid farewell to Zhang Jinbao.Zhang Jinbao took out the banknotes and wanted to reward him as a thank you, but the man smiled and declined, waved his hands and led the two carriages away from the port.
After Zhang Jinbao asked the sailors on the ship, he found out that the man who sent him all the way here just now was actually a senior manager of the Sanya branch of Furuifeng. Although he was not a child of the Li family, he was still somewhat related to the Li family. relationship, and he was single-handedly picked up by Li Nai.Zhang Jinbao was immediately annoyed, thinking that his attempt to reward the other party just now was really reckless, don't offend the other party.
Li Nai arranged two cabins for the academy students on the boat, and Zhang Jinbao was of course one class higher, enjoying the treatment of a single cabin.Although this single cabin is only five feet wide and one foot deep, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, bed cabinets, and necessary supplies. There is also a porthole for lighting and ventilation on the side of the ship. This condition is already better than his. The boat I came on was much better.
After settling down, there was nothing left and right, and Zhang Jinbao didn't want to be bored in the cabin, so he went out to the deck and chatted with the sailors on board.
These sailors were also well-informed, Zhang Jinbao chatted for a while, and found that the places they had been to were far better than his own, and their vision and knowledge were no worse than the businessmen they usually came into contact with.
As it was approaching noon, a few restaurant waiters carrying food loads came up to the pier, and all the dishes they brought were hot.There is a small hall on the second deck of the ship, which is usually used as a sailor's canteen, and Zhang Jinbao and others were arranged to have meals here.
"The third young master said that the wine sold in this restaurant is mediocre, so he only ordered dishes. If Dean Zhang wants to drink, there are all kinds of good wine on board, including white wine, yellow wine, fruit wine, and rice wine. Just give orders and the villain will deliver it immediately." The sailor in charge of receiving them also specifically explained why there were no wine bottles and jars at the table.

"Get up, don't go to sleep!" Zhang Jinbao yawned and muttered, "You were supposed to get up early to serve me, but now it's the other way around! Is it plausible? Everyone smells like alcohol, so hurry up and wash up !"
When he returned to the inn last night, he found that none of the students were there, leaving only a letter in the room, saying that a local student from Sanya had invited them for a night out.There is no curfew in Sanya, so there are many places to play at night.
