Behind me is the earth

Chapter 389 387. Foreign businessmen offer treasures

The waves are high, the wind is strong, and the waves are crashing on the shore.

The winter sea carries the cold sea breeze and blows on the iron locks on the shore.

The iron locks had already been covered with a thick layer of white ice, like a string of hanging stalactites, which dispersed the blowing sea breeze and made a howling sound of "wuwuwuwu".

"boom!"

The waves hit the shore violently. Under the huge impact force, the waves surged five to six meters high and hit the road behind the iron lock. On top of that thick layer of ice, the ice layer was thickened again. a bit.

Brown, a young sailor who was eating black bread on the shore, was talking to a tall Jingguo man wearing cotton clothes.

To be honest, he envied the people of this country so much.

Their lives are so prosperous, their officials are so wise, their cities are so prosperous, their streets are so clean, their materials are so rich, and their people are so happy!

Brown dreams of staying in a country like this.

Every breath told him that even the air here was sweet.

Just like he was looking for people from Jingguo to talk to, just to learn their words, so that he could be with this country in spirit. It's just that people in Jingguo often don't like him, which puts a damper on his study plan.

At this time, a large circle of seagulls appeared on the sea. Brown was shocked and stretched his neck: "Hey, another ship has arrived.

In today's weather, this ship must have suffered a lot at sea! "

Brown spoke in somewhat broken Jingguo dialect to the young Jingguo native next to him.

Not long after he finished speaking, a rickety mast on the sea first came into view.

When he saw this newly made friend of Jingguo, he took out a box from his sleeves and gently pressed the mechanism. The box made a crisp sound and turned into a cool box. Telescope, put it in front of your eyes and look towards the sea.

Thai pants are hot!

Brown's eyes were full of envy.

This country has all kinds of amazing things, both beautiful and practical!

He looked down at the dirty robe on his body. The sleeves on his forearms were torn due to frequent wear and tear, revealing the equally dirty linen clothes underneath. Because of the cold weather, he wore several layers in layers, so that his body was tight. It was very uncomfortable, and whenever the cold wind blew on my body, the effect of keeping out the cold was not as good as the cotton-padded clothes worn by the people of Jingguo.

He also heard that the nobles of Jingguo would also wear clothes made of goose down. That kind of clothing is warmer, softer, more beautiful, and feels as comfortable when worn as if it were not worn at all.

He often wondered if he would have the opportunity to wear such aristocratic clothes once in his life.

"It's a Bobo Island-style merchant ship."

Zhang Shan stood on the beach, looking at the rickety ship on the rough sea. The sails on the mast are being lowered in preparation for docking.

There are more than ten forts in Dongyang New Port, and a naval base is stationed here. There is nothing to worry about in terms of safety.

He put down the telescope in his hand, said hello to Brown, and left.

Zhang Shan is currently on vacation. When he went out for a walk, he heard someone reported that there was a foreigner here who often talked to people. He was sneaky and didn't look like a good person, so he happened to come over to take a look.

After chatting for a few words, I felt that this person did not look like a foreigner, so I stopped paying attention to him.

After all, paying close attention to detail is not his specialty.

"Everyone, stay on the ship and don't move around. Olga, come with me to get off the ship and register."

After the Paul successfully entered the port, the captain, Paul Allen, asked the first mate to walk along the ship's side to the dock.

There was a person on the dock leading them towards a nearby white building.

Paul and Olga looked at this huge port curiously.

When they were still at sea, they saw this huge port from a distance. It was larger than any port they had ever seen, with more ships docked than any port they had ever seen.

Perhaps because of today's weather, the ships on the pier are all docked at the pier. But just looking at these ships, he could also imagine how busy this port was on weekdays.

“What a great place!”

Paul sighed.

Olga nodded in agreement: "Boss, you are right to insist on coming here. We will definitely make a lot of money here!"

“Jingguo is a vast and fertile country, but this country has never been open to the outside world before.

We can only do business with merchants from their country on Wen Island of Yao Kingdom. Now that we have landed on the land of Jingguo, we will definitely get more generous rewards! "

Paul said confidently.

"Please come in."

When they arrived at the three-story white building, the guide opened the door and invited them in.

"This door..."

Paul touched the door that was pushed open, his blue eyes stained with a little gray filled with disbelief.

The same was true for Olga. She couldn't believe that such a precious, crystal clear crystal without any variegated colors could be built into such a big door!

Looking at those doors and windows, almost all are made of crystal.

It was just this inadvertent luxury that made the two men fighting in the waves feel weak in their legs.

After entering the door, the two walked across the bare floor, leaving a series of wet footprints.

A burst of hot air hit their faces, quickly warming up the two people who had just come out of the severe cold.

The decoration inside made their eyes wander again.

Hanging on the wall is an exquisite clock.

Beautiful and expensive porcelain is placed on the table.

It came from nowhere, like a siren crooning a ditty.

There are so many more.

There are dozens of windows on the long counter.

There are many people in the hall.

There is a cacophony of accents from all over the world.

Anyone applying for entry from the port must apply for documents here. Only after passing the review can they enter the country within the prescribed scope.

Application for goods entering the port, customs declaration and tax payment, cargo quarantine, etc. are also handled here.

The window was also very busy.

"Come here first to register."

The guide led Paul into a single room.

The single room was not big, and it was also in the hall, but it was separated by frosted glass. There was only a man in a white uniform, sitting behind a table.

As soon as Paul and the two came in, they were motioned to sit on the chairs opposite the table.

"Which country?"

the man asked.

Paul was a little confused when he heard this.

Along the way, the communication between them and the guides was basically through body language. Different words were an important issue in front of everyone.

The man took out a few cards and shook them. Paul looked at the words on them and finally understood the meaning.

Before Paul could speak, the man had guessed his language just by looking at his expression, and said to the guide: "Go and call Zheng Shuwen over."

The guide nodded, went out, and soon brought back a man in his thirties with dark skin.

Then, the man asked again.

Zheng Shuwen translated: "Which country are you from?"

"Flo Country."

This time Paul understood and said quickly.

The man and Zheng Shuwen looked at each other, neither of them had heard of this country.

It should be a small country with little visibility.

After working in the port for a long time, they knew that there were many unknown barbarian countries in foreign countries. Occasionally, a few things that you have never heard of pop up, which is normal.

Dongyang Port gathers wealth from all over the world, and visitors are guests. For people from such a small barbarian country, men also treat them with a normal attitude.

"Name."

the man asked.

"Paul, Paul Al."

Paul said.

The man was turning the pen in his hand and writing down notes quickly on the paper.

"What's the cargo on the ship?"

The man continued to ask.

"People, women, beautiful women, they are all women with tall figures and beautiful faces. They are all hot commodities during the Chinese New Year..."

Paul said confidently.

"Um?"

"Um?"

"Huh?" X3

In the room, the eyes of the three men, the registrar, the usher, and Zheng Shuwen, were all focused on Paul's face.

"Still a personal trafficker!"

"What goods are the population calculated on?"

"I've never encountered this before."

"Let's register them as living creatures and animals first, and then arrange for people to be quarantined first?"

"Register first, then report it, and see what it says. I think it's almost impossible to send a doctor over for a physical examination, otherwise it will be inappropriate if it is circulated in the market and there are infectious diseases."

"Do you think it can be circulated to the market? Wuzhou has not allowed human trafficking for a long time!"

"For Gentiles, maybe it's different."

"You can sell it to Goulan in the new port area."

"Register first, and we'll talk about this later."

"good."

Paul and the two looked at the heated discussion that Jing Guoren suddenly started. He couldn't understand, and some monks Zhang Er were confused.

Until the registrar asked again: "Quantity of goods."

"There were 390 people when we set out, some died on the way, and now there are more than 270 people. But don't worry, sir, the ones who died are all from the bottom cabin. The most beautiful ones, we arranged them above the second floor, and they are all unscathed. Woolen cloth!"

Paul said shrewdly and cunningly with a smile on his face that you know.

"Don't you know that our Wuzhou Province does not allow human trafficking?"

Before Paul could put away the proud smile on his face, he heard the man wearing a white uniform across from him say something. At the same time, the other person also put down the pen in his hand. The professional smile on his face also disappeared at this time, and his expression changed. Get serious.

"ah?"

The smile on Paul's face dropped completely. He glanced at the others and found that they all had serious faces.

He turned his head slightly and winked at Olga who was standing next to him.

Olga nodded, skillfully grabbed a few golden beans from her pocket, smiled and stuffed them into the hands of the three people including the guide: "We understand, we all know the rules, and we will definitely abide by the laws of your country. , adults are accommodating..."

The man looked at the golden beans in his hand and scratched his head vigorously.

Then he slapped it on the table: "This is not what we are doing, we do not allow human trafficking.

However, your situation is somewhat special. We need to report to the superiors and ask. This requires you to wait for notification.

If the higher-ups approve it, we will allow you to sell it. If the higher-ups disapprove it, this is not something we can decide.

You guys go down and wait for a while. The wind and waves are high these two days, so you can go out and apply for a pass. With the pass, you can stay in the Port New Area for fifteen days. "

After two more photos were taken and recorded in the registration file, the two were sent out.

Paul complained: "We must be underpaid."

"The greedy Jingguo people..."

Before Olga could finish her words, she saw the usher walking out of the single room, and they both quickly shut their mouths.

"This is your thing. We officials in Wuzhou will not accept these things."

After the guide finished speaking, he added: "If you need translation services, you can go to the red house over there to hire them. The prices are clearly marked."

After that, he left in a hurry.

"It seems that the people of Jingguo are really honest."

"The political environment here must be very clean. His Majesty the Emperor here must be a very wise man!"

"But isn't this Jingguo? Why did I hear the name 'Wuzhou' in their mouths?"

Olga was a little confused.

"Perhaps this is the difference in our language names."

Paul guessed.

Soon, they went to the red house to find a translator, took a copy of the registration form the man gave them, and applied for a pass to the Port New Area.

After arriving at the Port New Area, the prosperity here completely shocked them.

The tall buildings, clean streets, and bustling scenery instantly caught their attention and drained their pockets of silver coins. but

But after living like this for a day or two, they inevitably became anxious.

Those goods cannot be sold, and if they stay in your hands for a day, they will be even more risky.

If an infectious disease develops, they risk losing their money.

"Olga, that treasure we got on the island of Origa..."

Paul found Olga and they were sitting on a bench on the street.

Olga heard the sound and knew the elegant meaning, but he seemed a little nervous and whispered: "Aren't we planning to go treasure hunting in the future?"

"You know, all of our wealth is on board. If we can't take action in Jingguo, we will have to go to Yaoguo, Yanguo, and Luguo. We will have to sail on the sea for a long time...the treasure is elusive. thing, why not replace it with a ready-made resource?

You have also seen it in the past two days. The wealth of Jingguo is not comparable to that of any other country. Look at that building, which is five stories high. Every window is made of extremely luxurious crystal. It is enough to show that crystal is not the most important thing in Jingguo. What a rare thing.

If we can have the friendship of the emperor of this country, what else can we not have? "

Paul had made up his mind.

Olga also saw the determination in his eyes and nodded.

They took a trip back to the ship.

In the evening, the two came to the lobby of the White Building again and found the uniformed registrar. At this time, they had a brown wooden box with a brass hoop in their hands.
