The changes that have happened to these young people are not limited to their skin color, but they themselves did not notice these subtle changes, but instead focused more on the tasks they shouldered.Perhaps at some point in the future, they will realize how important the changes brought about by this visit are.
This trip took far longer than expected. Wang Anguo thought that the mission would be completed in about one and a half months when he set off, but in fact, when he led the team to leave Edo Bay for the North American colonial area, it took longer than expected. It took more than half a month.However, as far as the mission's gains from this trip were concerned, it also greatly exceeded expectations, and the time and energy spent during the period were well worth the money.
But at this moment, there was another group of people on the pier who were more excited than the mission, and that was the fleet personnel who had completed the trip with the mission.Now they only need to sign the changing of the guard register, and they can receive a generous salary and half a month's vacation.
Undoubtedly, the pay for this trip is much higher than the usual sea training missions, and military pay and vacations are the rewards they need most at the moment.In the next half month, the dining, drinking and entertainment venues in Ningbo Mansion are estimated to be filled with these leading soldiers.
Officials of the mission cannot enjoy such freedom. The handover procedures they need to complete are far more complicated than sailors. Everyone needs to submit detailed written reports on the work they are responsible for during the mission. Many projects even require A special meeting is held to complete the follow-up handover.
But at this moment, they must first go to Yang Yun's official residence collectively, where the reception banquet has been prepared in advance.Everyone can relax for a while regardless of their concerns today, and leave work and so on until tomorrow.
Although the mission brought professional cooks and a lot of local ingredients and condiments during the visit, the standard of food outside the home was not comparable to that at home.Yang Yun did not invite outsiders to the welcome banquet, only a few local officials accompanied them, and everyone didn't need to worry about it, so they let go of eating and drinking.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Yun took the initiative to ask everyone about their next plans.This is not because he is gossip-minded, but for the convenience of arranging the itinerary for the members of the mission in advance.When it came to this topic, everyone really realized that it was probably time to say goodbye.
Shi Chengwu must go back to Hangzhou first for a business trip, and by the way, he also needs to bring the envoy of the shogunate.Regarding the specific matters concerning trade and arms trade, Shi Diwen must personally intervene, and Shi Chengwu also needs to report to him the detailed experience during this mission.
As for the group of four from the south, their whereabouts are yet to be determined.The main task they were sent to Zhejiang was to inspect the local conditions and customs here, and to collect necessary information for the move of the capital by the way, but the mission to Japan and Korea was only a temporary additional task.
During their stay in Zhejiang, Tao Hongfang and others can only say that they took a quick look at some places. The places they visited were mainly concentrated in Hangzhou and Ningbo, but it was enough to go back to Sanya for a business trip.If they want to stay and continue the investigation, there should be no resistance. After all, so far, they have not received an order from Sanya to transfer them back.
Facing this question, Zhu Zian was quite confused.The person he wants to rely on is Haihan. It stands to reason that his destination should be arranged by the executive committee, but his current work and life are all in charge of the East China Sea Region. Next, he will follow Shi Chengwu back to Hangzhou to report on his work. Or to stay in Zhoushan and wait for the order from Sanya Shengli Fort, he himself doesn't know what choice to make.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Yang Yun asked Xu Xu: "Our country is about to move the capital, and there are still a lot of affairs in Zhejiang that need to be supervised. You should know something about it before you go as an envoy. Why don't you all stay here and contribute to the move of the capital? It shouldn’t be troublesome to do this, just send a telegram back to Sanya to explain the situation, and no one will embarrass you.”
Tao Hongfang replied: "It is the right thing to contact Sanya to report the situation, but we still have to obey orders for the next arrangements."
Tao Hongfang spoke in a calm and steady manner, mainly because he didn't want the outside world to have a bad opinion of them.After all, they come from special backgrounds. If there is no formal transfer order or appointment arrangement, if they stay in Zhejiang as idlers, they will easily be gossiped.
Yang Yun probably understood what Tao Hongfang was jealous of, so he didn't continue to persuade, nodded and said: "If that's the case, let's put it aside for now, stay in Zhoushan for a few days, and talk about it after resting."
Since Tao Hongfang didn't want to talk about it in detail, Yang Yun didn't mention it. Everyone continued to drink and have fun, and it seemed that they forgot about it very quickly.
But after the banquet was over, everyone went to the residence arranged by Yang Yun, and they were waiting to go back to their rooms to rest. Shi Chengwu took the initiative to stop Tao Hongfang: "Just now, Yang Yun's request to retain your statement does not represent what my father meant."
Tao Hongfang nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Shi Chengwu continued: "But if you want to stay, I can help."
Tao Hongfang was noncommittal, but just said "yes".
After the two finished their riddle-guessing conversation, they went back to their rooms.
Tao Hongfang entered the room, just sat down and poured a cup of tea, when he heard someone knock on the door twice, and then pushed the door open, it was Bai Letong and Ning Zijing.
"You guys are here. Where's Ha Jianyi?" Tao Hongfang was not surprised to see the two of them.
"He drank too much earlier, so he should have fallen asleep... Hong Fang, what kind of charades were you playing with Shi Chengwu just now?" Ning Zijing couldn't hold back his words, and asked straight to the point after entering the room.
Tao Hongfang put down the teacup, and explained in a deep voice: "Shi Chengwu is afraid that we will misunderstand, and Yang Yun asked about our whereabouts, because his father is using this to test our attitude."
Ning Zijing blinked his eyes, still puzzled: "Whether we stay or not, what does it matter to Master Yu Shi?"
Tao Hongfang said: "Our previous mission was only to come here for inspection, and it will not affect the local situation. But if we want to be transferred here, Mr. Shi probably can't just arrange a few idle positions with no power or influence for us." , that may crowd out the position of some people. Overtly and secretly, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are watching our movements. Yang Yun may be purely out of concern, or he may want to find out for some people.”
Bai Letong said: "Since that's the case, why did Shi Chengwu say that he can help us stay?"
Tao Hongfang said: "He is self-certifying his innocence, which means that his father will not care about our fate."
Bai Letong said: "I still don't understand, is it really that important whether we go or stay?"
Tao Hongfang smiled and said, "We can ponder the chess game, but as chess pieces, how can we see the whole picture of the chessboard?"
