Thanks to the help of the monsoon, the Li family fleet, which had a smooth journey, finally successfully arrived at the peninsula countries of Silla and Goguryeo in ancient times after more than ten days of sailing, which is now Seoul, the capital of Korea. , and successfully docked at the port of this country that does not implement many strict maritime bans.
"..."
"Although this is not the first time I've come here, every time I see them, I feel that they are really similar to our Ming Dynasty..."
"Whether it's the architecture, clothing or hairstyle, they are all so similar..."
"Like a little Ming Dynasty?"
Li Huamei, who was stranded at the dock and did not run around casually, looked at the Silla people working on the dock, the officials and the houses. Gradually, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Yes, Li Huamei knew that this country was a subordinate state of the Ming Dynasty. Except that the Ming Empire did not directly rule the people here, the politics and culture here were actually no different from an internal state capital within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Here, every Korean king must be approved by the Ming Dynasty when he ascends the throne, and there is no big obstacle for them to use Chinese directly here. At least the officials and some upper-class people can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters with a brush. , there is no problem with communication.
But, unlike this country, which has basically not changed and is still prosperous and stable, the Ming Empire has fallen into internal and external troubles. The northwest of the Central Plains is in ruins. Some places have even fallen to a miserable state that is even worse than this subordinate country?
However, it is useless to worry. That kind of thing is not something Li Huamei should worry about. Her current identity is just a smuggler in disguise, so apart from sighing randomly, she has nothing to do What can be said easily.
"James!"
"Charlie and Yi An went to the Shipping Department here to pay taxes and sign a contract, but they haven't come back yet?"
Looking at the loaders and unloaders of the two ships who were idle and idle in the distance of the dock, as well as the anxious businessmen from Seoul who came after hearing the news, although Li Huamei also wanted them to help unload the goods and sell them on the spot, it was a pity that , she did not dare to do that before getting permission from the local government and paying taxes.
Although they came here last year and signed a document and paid taxes, that was from last year. If they come back this year, they must sign again. Otherwise, they will break the law and be easily troubled by the dock officials. And this is Although the local businessmen and coolies wanted to come over, they could only wait patiently.
"Do not worry!"
"Admiral, it's not like you don't know that signing a contract won't be a problem. We are businessmen here to do business, and they know that we help fight against Japanese pirates. It's not too late to thank us, so it's just a process. ."
"but……"
"Admiral, I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid we won't make much money this time..."
After comforting Li Huamei, James became a little worried again.
"oh?"
"How to say?"
Li Huamei was a little surprised and didn't know why the other party was worried about these things.
"I just went to ask. Silk and ceramics are also produced here, and most of our warehouses are filled with those things. Is this possible..."
"Will you lose money and lose money?"
After hesitating for a while, James finally expressed his concerns.
"rest assured!"
"Of course I know that silk and ceramics are produced here, but the silk and ceramics produced in the Ming Dynasty are different from the craftsmanship here. They are much more exquisite, so they should not worry about sales."
"Besides, we brought a lot of emeralds and green stones this time. I believe the dignitaries here will definitely like them."
Smiling and shaking her head, it was obvious that unlike James' worries, Li Huamei was very confident.
However, the other party's words also reminded her that the next time she comes to Seoul, she must not bring silk fabrics and ceramics. Although she is not worried about sales, the profit is too low, so it is better to bring luxury goods directly.
After all, this country is different from the Ming Dynasty. It is relatively peaceful and stable, and luxury goods can always be sold at good prices here.
"correct!"
"Where's that guy Annie?"
After saying that, Li Huamei looked around, and then she discovered that a certain little guy who had been lawless on the ship for more than half a month, causing chaos on the ship and making herself very uneasy, was not with them at this time. around?
"I ran into the city early and went crazy..."
"But don't worry, Xingjiu has brought someone to find her, nothing will happen."
Crossing his arms, James said indifferently.
"That's good!"
"I hope Charlie and Yi An will come back soon so that we can unload and restock the goods early. The ginseng and hazelnuts here are hot commodities in the Ming Dynasty. I hope the merchants will have enough goods in their hands."
Looking at the Seoul businessmen who were waiting patiently and looking at them eagerly from time to time, Li Huamei said nothing more and just waited patiently with her people, waiting for Charlie and Yi Anjiao. Return after paying taxes and get trading permit.
…
While Li Huamei and others were waiting for transactions and doing other serious things, Annie was certainly wandering around and eating and drinking.
"..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
"!!"
(｡◝～◜｡)? !
Soon, Annie discovered a strange guy who was following her secretly. She didn't know if he wanted to do something bad?
so……
"ha!!"
ꉂ(๑¯͒ꇴ¯͒)✧
As a matter of course, Annie turned into a sparsely populated alley and hid at the corner. When the other party was chasing after her in a hurry, she suddenly stretched out a foot.
"!!"
"oops!!"
puff! !
First he exclaimed, and then of course, while letting out that charming scream, the other party threw himself face-first onto the dusty ground, stirring up a layer of floating dust that made the other party's body The pink and gray-blue dress instantly became dirty.
"Alas!"
Hahahaꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)
"Bad guy! I asked you to follow me secretly. Now you're fine. You've eaten a mouthful of ashes, right?"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
Seeing that the other party successfully tripped over her and threw herself on the ground, a certain troubled little girl not only didn't care, but actually gloated and laughed loudly.
(…)
(lll￢㉨￢)
"Woo..."
"Bah! Bah!"
"Ugh~ It hurts..."
After lying on the dusty ground for a long time, the visitor spat out the dust in his mouth, sat up sadly on the ground, and turned back to glare at Annie bitterly.
Only then did Annie see the face of the other party clearly. She was a little sister who was a little taller than her and probably a little older. She was quite cute and had a white band tied on her forehead with a mark in the middle. There's a weird headband with a Yin Yang fish.
"laugh!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
"Bad girl, why are you secretly following me? Also, is mud delicious?"
(„ಡωಡ„)
But it was a pity that at this time, the other party's face was open, and his mouth, nose and front clothes were covered with loess. It looked miserable, so Anne once again questioned her attitude in front of the other party. He joked harshly.
"hateful!!"
"You little guy, why did you trip me? I'm not a bad person!!"
She stood up, casually patted the dust in front of her, and wiped her face randomly. But soon she found that she was getting dirtier and dirtier. The 'follower' had no choice but to give up and use her big painted face to wipe her face again. He gave little Annie a hard look.
"Not a bad guy?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"You're not a bad person, so why are you, a tabby cat, sneaking around and following people?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Annie didn't know who the other person was, but since the other person now had a dirty face with smears, it would definitely not be wrong to call him a tabby cat.
"I!"
"It's not a tabby cat!"
"I have a name, my name is Song Yifeng!"
"snort!"
"I just saw you getting off those two big ships, and then I followed you. I didn't want to do anything bad to you. On the contrary, you, without asking any questions, just..."
Song Yifeng was so angry that she couldn't speak anymore, so she could only continue to arrange her clothes while glaring at Anne hatefully again.
In the past, when she was practicing Taoism on the mountain, she always didn't practice well. She always picked fruits to eat in the back mountain with other Taoist priests, or went to make trouble for her senior brothers, play pranks, etc... But things are better now. She just came down from the mountain not long ago. , she was actually pricked by a little foreign girl who was even younger than herself, which made her so angry that her teeth started to itch.
"But……"
(ー`´ー)
"It doesn't matter to you that they came off a big ship. They don't know you, but you follow them shamelessly and say you don't mean to do bad things?"
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
"!!"
"I don't!"
"I just... I just saw your big ship, and then I wanted to ask you if I can ride on them like you, and then we can travel around the world together, go to various places to practice, make myself more powerful, and then let Master I look at each other with admiration, senior brother!"
"I didn't mean to do anything bad!"
Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, Song Yifeng still stubbornly told the reason why she secretly followed Annie here.
"Is that what it looks like?"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"that is!"
Song Yifeng argued hard.
"But, people think you are weak, so you must not have learned any real skills. The sea is so dangerous, so you should go home quickly and don't follow me again."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Goodbye~!"
ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)SeeYou♪
The young lady in front of me looks a bit naughty and not very good, and there are no empty rooms on the ship. If the other party gets on the ship again, she will definitely have to squeeze in the captain's cabin with her and sister Li Huamei. She just I don’t want another person to squeeze into that bed with her!
"!!"
"But!"
"Wait a minute, do those two big ships belong to your family?"
Seeing that Annie rejected her request to board a ship to travel around the world and turned around to leave, Song Yifeng quickly reached out and called out to her.
"Not!"
(*^▽^*)
"But they won't let you board the ship. They'll make you so angry!"
(^_−)☆
Yes, Annie is so mean, she does it on purpose, because she just likes to see the other person look angry but helpless to her.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"!!"
"You hateful guy!!"
Sure enough, when Annie's provocation ended and she was about to leave, Song Yifeng was so angry that she almost exploded, and even her hair swelled slightly.
"Thunder in the Palm!"
"Urgent as a rule!!"
Therefore, in anger and embarrassment, Song Yifeng, who was carried away, quickly pinched his fingers and pointed directly at little Annie's back.
☇
The next moment, a small bolt of lightning struck directly towards Annie's back.
"Wow!!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
But unfortunately, Annie had already noticed this and immediately avoided it, leaving the lightning to click in vain on the dirt road and send up a small cloud of dust.
"snort!"
"You know how powerful I am, right?"
"If you hadn't escaped by chance just now, that moment would have been enough for you to lie on the ground for two hours!"
Although Song Yifeng felt a little regretful when she just fought out, because her senior brother and master had warned her about taboos such as not using Taoism on ordinary people?
"Anyway!"
"I advise you to take back what you just said and let me get on the boat and travel around the world with you, otherwise..."
However, after seeing that the thunder in her palm was dodged by the other party, she forgot about that little thing again, and began to raise her slutty chin as if to show off proudly, and said threateningly to Annie.
"hateful!"
(•́へ•́╬)
"You dare to show off if you know such a little trick. Do you think you are the only one who knows magic?"
s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ
"watch out!"
o(*｀ー´)o
"Lightning Bolt!!"
(∩｀ー´)⊃--*⋆☇☇
"Huh?"
To be honest, Song Yifeng was a little shocked. She never expected that the little girl in front of her could actually do Taoism, and she seemed to be more powerful than her?
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Anyway, what she saw was that two thick bolts of lightning were struck towards her from the opponent's palm, and they hit her unexpectedly, leaving her with numb and uncontrollable muscle trembling in her body, and her hair was also shaking. He stood up instantly, then his eyes went dark, his crotch felt hot, and he didn't know anything anymore.
"Oh no!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"this……"
┗(▔,▔)┛
"Tibbers, we seem to have struck a little too hard..."
(“▔□▔)
Watching the other party twitching and falling straight to the ground again, and at the same time soiling the clothes and hair on the back, then looking at the other party's skirt that gradually became stained with water and some kind of weird odor , Anne knew that she seemed to have accidentally caused another trouble?
"It seems that he is not dead yet. What should we do..."
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
She walked over and squatted next to the other person, then stretched out her finger and tapped the other person's dirty face, and then looked at the deserted alley. Annie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
(Dear little master, why not just let the little one eat her directly, and then destroy her body and eliminate all traces!)
ʕᓀ㉨ᓂʔ
(Tibbers said that he is the best at resolving troubles! As long as you release him, Tibbers Bear, he will immediately strip him naked, and then throw the naked object into his mouth while it is hot and chew it. Go and make sure to use the Shadow Flame to burn the opponent down to nothing!)
"She's not dead yet, why did you destroy her body?"
(´•︵•`)
Obviously, Annie would not be able to do such evil things easily under normal circumstances.
"Forget it, let's take it back and let Sister Li Huamei figure out how to deal with it!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
Having no choice but to make up her mind, Annie started to look around.
Soon, she didn't want to carry the other person back, and she didn't want to show magic to outsiders casually in this ultra-low magic world, so she discovered a bunch of sacks of unknown people standing next to them, and then she quickly thought of A good idea.
afternoon……
Richard Huisen and Yi'an Dukov have already settled the local government and obtained about 10% of the local terminal's bulk cargo market. Therefore, the goods brought by the Li family's fleet were quickly obtained. Loading and unloading.
"Admiral!"
"We spent a total of 12,000 taels of silver on taxes, documents, and buyout shares. We also obtained a document that allows us to trade here in Seoul and dock for supplies for a long time!"
"Why is it so expensive..."
"That's equivalent to the price of a medium-sized fortune ship!"
"Isn't it?"
"But there's no way, it's necessary!"
"well……"
"I just hope I can make money back from this trip, right?"
"It would be great if we had more money. We could directly monopolize the transaction share here. If we come here a few more times a year, it would be difficult not to make a fortune!"
"Okay, James, stop talking, we are not just doing business!"
In the dock, Li Huamei was chatting quietly with Charlie Huisen and Yi An Dukov about issues such as goods and tax payment.
Soon, Li Huamei and others were shocked to find that a certain little guy trotted up to them dragging a sack and opened it like a treasure?
"??"
"!!"
"This is……"
Then, when Annie opened the sack and revealed a very embarrassed and unconscious 'little sister' inside, everyone present stared in shock.
"ah!"
"Annie?!"
"What are you doing?"
"besides!"
"Who is she and why did she faint?"
Li Huamei, who squatted down and checked immediately, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person brought back by Annie was fine.
In fact, she had thought about Annie going out to buy a lot of food, and also thought about other things. However, she never thought that the other party would go out and use a sack to abduct someone who looked better than the other party. What does this mean to a little girl who is five or six years older?
"Well..."
(′～`●)
Anne was a little evasive and didn't know how to explain.
Anyway, she wouldn't say it, because the other party wanted to hit her with lightning, and then she also released one, but she didn't expect that the other party was so useless that she fainted directly after being struck by lightning? Then, not wanting him to lie on the street being bullied by some weird people, she had no choice but to drag him back in a sack.
Moreover, not to mention how strenuous it was along the way!
"That's it!"
"Let her rest in our inn first, and then we can ask about everything after she wakes up..."
Shaking her head, Li Huamei saw that little Annie was reluctant to say anything. Knowing that there must be something fishy, she got possessed and checked again. She found that Song Yifeng was indeed fine, but she was unconscious for some reason. After thinking about it for a while, , he reached out and picked up the girl, who was estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, out of the sack. He planned to settle the other party first, and then wait for the other party to wake up before questioning him carefully.
"hey-hey......"
