This chaos was really Wang Chen's fault, just after the first batch of Chinese soldiers boarded the dock, this group of soldiers with a unique temperament immediately attracted the attention of the locals.

Xiao Lotian has always believed in the elite soldier policy, the Chinese army has always been a place with a very high elimination rate, there are soldiers in the new barracks almost every day, and those soldiers who have passed layers of strict selection are waiting for them with the best equipment in the world, as well as the best treatment.

All the clothes on his body are top-quality military products, even the lowest-class recruits are paid three silver dollars a month, and as for food, it is not even the cost.

The soldiers raised by the elite soldier policy are born with a unique temperament, and they have attracted the attention of countless natives as soon as they appear on the dock.

Savvy merchants would observe everything a soldier wears, such as the grade of boots, the kind of tobacco he smoked, the occasional pocket watch chain peeking out of the pockets of his uniform, and even the grade of the buttons.

What surprised the natives even more was that they were all a group of yellow-skinned faces, but they had the same confident temperament as British soldiers, and their aura was even stronger.

This is a group of rich men, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking them to do business, and soon the people of the whole dock realized this. Bold vendors began to peddle their goods in broken English.

Buying some wine, eating some fruits, and local products didn't go into chaos until a gem merchant came to Wang Chen, which caused a big conflict.

Wang Chen's heart has long been pretended to be a woman, that is, the headmistress he saw on Kalimantan Island, after that very unsuccessful confession, Wang Chen was not discouraged but more full of fighting spirit, he swore that he must chase her in this life.

One of the most important purposes of this trip was to choose a gift for his girlfriend, and when the colorful gems were held in front of him, he was sure that this was the best gift for a woman.

Wang Chen didn't exchange too many pounds before he got off the ship, but only a dozen pennies, because he didn't expect that he would spend so much money to sell such expensive goods, but the dragon pattern silver coin in his pocket could hold a lot of young and old.

He took out a dragon silver coin and communicated with the vendor in English and asked him if he wanted this kind of money, but he didn't expect that the powerful Nanyang Chinese merchants had already done business here, and the merchants in the Galle area knew this exquisite silver coin, and they all nodded their heads.

After some careful selection, Wang Chen took a fancy to this beautiful sapphire, and the next thing was to bargain.

"Hey...... The problem is in the bargaining, both of us are not good at English, we both have strange accents, and there is no translator around, so we can only rely on comparison......"

Wang Chen smiled bitterly, "The other party stretched out four fingers, where will I be fooled, I will directly stretch out one finger...... As a result, the guy definitely disagreed, shaking his head like a rattle......"

"I also had a firm attitude, I turned my head to leave, but he was scared and turned into three fingers......"

Wang Chen tilted his head and said in a very charlatan tone: "I, Wang Chen, have also seen the world, and want to kill me...... I just reached out and snapped back one of his three fingers, hehehe...... It hurts, he bared his teeth!"

"That's all I said, that's all, do you want to......? Look, how domineering we are!"

"Still blowing!" next to Ye Qiu shot his ass guts, "I'll blush for you!" don't blow it later, don't be ashamed......"

"Führer, but the merchant nodded his head, very reluctantly...... At first, I was definitely taking advantage of this animal, but when it came time to pay for it?

?? I noticed that the peddler's face had changed dramatically!"

Ye Qiu blushed and said, "Damn, you actually counted out twenty dragon pattern silver coins! When you threw them into the hawker's hand one by one, the vendor's face turned white!"

"Let's get started...... We thought the peddler had lost his face, but when the twenty silver coins were gone, the black monkey-like peddler turned around and ran, faster than a donkey......

"What about the end?" Xiao Letian finally understood, and he asked with a smile.

Wang Chen scratched his head, "Result...... Afterward...... Anyway...... Oh, anyway, after more than ten minutes, so many jewelry vendors rushed out, and they surrounded us all......"

"Oh God!hahaha......" The British sheriff who listened to the story suddenly laughed and bent over, "Oh my God! you are mistaken...... The hawker's outstretched fingers represent single digits, why did you upgrade to ten digits yourself?

He meant two silver coins, not twenty...... Hahaha......"

At this moment, it finally dawned on him, everyone looked at each other in embarrassment, and the military policeman laughed enough and quickly ordered his Sikh turbans to go and maintain order.

Wang Chen said aggrievedly: "Who knew that gems are so cheap here! In Ryukyu, such gems can't be taken without fifty or sixty silver coins!"

At this time, Jae-chun, who was stupid, revealed Ermao's figure behind him, and he took the gem and looked at it carefully, "Hmm...... If the gems of this quality are polished well, they will be sent to the glaze factory for at least two hundred taels!"

"That's right!" Wang Chen waved his hand aggrievedly, "Who would have thought that there are so many gems in this ghost place, it's really damn!"

The riot on the dock was not a big deal, but the result was that because of the participation of Xiao Letian, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the king of the Ryukyus, the defenders in the Galle Fort were immediately alarmed, and Major General Jason, who had just come ashore, personally brought his soldiers to meet them.

After listening to the sheriff's report, Major General Jason smiled, "Dear Führer, this magical island is like this, there are so many gems here, if you are interested, I can lead the way for you to visit!"

Before Xiao Lotian could nod, King Shangtai, the king who was obsessed with the cause of exploration, was excited, "Great, master, let's take a look, I want to see with my own eyes how the gems are collected!"

Anyway, there was nothing to do, Xiao Letian finally nodded, and under the escort of Major General Jason and the locals, a full team of one hundred and fifty people began to march towards the northern dense forest path.

Before leaving, Jason said to the sheriff, "Inform your friends in China and let them go to a licensed store to buy gems, although they are more expensive but the quality is guaranteed, and they will not make such jokes!"

"Your Majesty, King, Führer...... The main gem mining area of the whole of Sri Lanka is in the city of Ratnapura more than 50 kilometers north of Galle, and the Galle area is also considered to be the edge of the main mining area, and we definitely don't have time to go anywhere, but it is five kilometers outside of Galle
