Chapter 12: Beautiful Men (2)

The new wharf is the only place where foreigners can live for a long time after coming to Daming.

Since the Lantian Dynasty really started the sea trade business, it has quickly changed from a desolate harbor to a residential area made of wooden planks.

The people here enter the city of Guangzhou at dawn every day to conduct various transactions or work, and when it is dark, they must return to the new wharf to live, and no one is allowed to stay in the city.

This applies to foreigners of any status.

Of course, there will always be a certain amount of leeway in the implementation of the law, and as for who to open the net, it depends on the arrangement of the Guangzhou City Division.

Blonde Europeans, thin, hard-working Japanese people, fleeing Korean aristocrats, swarthy South Asians, and tightly wrapped Arabs all took up a place at the new wharf.

Their settlements are distinct and they live in groups, but the area here is small, and any slight conflict can turn into an uncontrollable scuffle.

When Howard returned to the new dock with Simon, there had just been a violent brawl between Korean nobles and Arabs.

The proximity of the two families, and the fact that the North Koreans seemed to have a natural sense of superiority over these Arabs, never stopped fighting.

The result of this brawl was obvious, it was the North Koreans who won.

There were seven or eight corpses of Arabs lying on the ground, all of whom had been killed by arrows.

Koreans are the only ethnic group in New Pier that are allowed to carry weapons such as bows and crossbows.

Although before the Koreans entered the new dock, the Guangzhou Bosi had made it clear that they were allowed to carry crossbows mainly for their safety, and they were not allowed to use crossbows in fights.

But who will really oversee the implementation of this ordinance at the new terminal?

The Ming Dynasty seems to have treated Koreans with special favor.

Especially the nobility among the Koreans.

These people can write and speak the language of the Ming Dynasty, which is the main reason why they are full of superiority.

It's also the reason why they take advantage of it.

The best jobs are basically occupied by North Koreans, and most of the things that Europeans can do are technical jobs that North Koreans don't know, and the rest of the hard and tiring work belongs to other races.

Seeing this, Howard believes that his top priority is to learn to speak the big words.

Only through verbal communication can he let the Ming people see his strengths and advantages.

When a Ming Tsing Yi official visited the new wharf, Howard's focus was not on what these people were saying, he couldn't understand what they said anyway, and the North Koreans who could understand the Ming language would not give them an interpreter.

Howard is concerned about the clothes of these people!

He found that there was only one person in the large group who was qualified to wear that soft cyan robe, and that man in the green robe was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

Therefore, in the Ming Kingdom, the cyan robe should not be worn by everyone.

Howard thinks he can keep up with the trends, and that's what he used to eat when he was in London.

He believed that it would not be wrong to move closer to the Ming people in terms of clothing first.

There are many skilled craftsmen on the new wharf, especially Korean tailors, who have heard that the clothes they make for the Ming people are sold very well in Guangzhou.

Under Simon's Zhang Luo, Howard got two sets of green shirts often worn by Ming scholars, but these two sets of green shirts are different from the good-looking azure shirts worn by officials, and the color is blue.

Howard tried on these two suits no less than ten times and changed them so many times, and finally when the North Korean tailor was about to completely explode, Simon paid for the clothes and did not change them again.

When Howard put on these two sets of green shirts with a slight European style, and then put his hair in a bun and inserted a hairpin, Howard looked at the seemingly strange and familiar Westerner in the mirror, and said to Simon: "There are some common beauty." ”

Simon looked at Howard, who had changed his appearance, and said, "Your demeanor is still unmatched, but are you really going to go over the wall to have a tryst with that beautiful North Korean woman tonight?" ”

Howard smiled: "Simon, you should understand, although I don't know why that North Korean woman is wearing clothes that expose her breasts, and her ** is not good enough to make everyone worship." (It's not nonsense, that's how North Korean women wore in the late Ming Dynasty)

However, he can speak the Ming language, I need her to teach me the Ming language, and I hope that through her, I can contact a Ming person who can really change our destiny. ”

Simon grinned, "That's why you've changed your shirt ten times?" I don't really understand, you don't understand what she says, she doesn't understand what you say, how did you get on a date with her? ”

Howard looked at Simon and said quietly: "Some things don't need to be said, some things don't need to be said, women in the world are actually the same." ”

When the pale blue moon rises over the sea, the distant islands look a little like giant whales in the sea...... Waves emerge from the surface of the sea and finally wash over and over again with white waves that wash over and over the beach.

There are many mosquitoes in the coconut grove, but it does not prevent two enthusiastic men and women, and their enthusiasm is like the waves, wave after wave......

"You killed me......"

"You killed me......"

"yes, that's ......"

"yes, that's ......"

"You'll be back tomorrow......"

"You'll be back tomorrow......"

A long time ago, Howard once heard a philosopher say that reproduction is the instinct of human beings, and it is the foundation of human life, and the time when life is strongest is precisely the time of reproduction.

At this time, the human spirit is the most focused, and the human mind and memory are at their peak.

Because human reproduction is intermittent and can be delayed for a long time, the strong Howard has enough time and energy to carry out his own study plans.

Howard dated the North Korean woman for half a year......

On a sunny morning, the woman was dragged through the beach by his people in a bamboo cage.

Howard looked sadly at the woman with a bulging belly, and the woman looked at him stupidly when she saw Howard, Howard drew his bayonet and rushed down the beach fiercely, and after only two steps, he was thrown to the ground by his faithful servant Simon, and then more Europeans appeared and dragged Howard back.

The woman cried out, and the cold-looking Koreans mercilessly dragged the bamboo cage into the sea......

The sea drowned out the woman, and also the woman's miserable screams.

Simon's neck stretched out, and after watching the sea engulf the bamboo cage and the North Koreans also left the beach, he said to Howard, who was sitting behind him chewing tobacco leaves, "It's over." ”

Howard sighed and said, "I was really going to save her just now, you shouldn't stop me." ”

Simon said, "She's pregnant with your baby. ”

"I actually have a lot of kids," Howard said. ”

Simon said again: "You can't find another North Korean woman to teach you to speak Daming." ”

Howard laughed: "I already know a lot of big words, and now, it's time to put it into practice." ”

Simon frowned and said, "You mean those Ming people in Guangzhou City, what they say is obviously different from the Ming people you learned." ”

Howard looked at the coconut grove not far away and sighed: "In that coconut grove, that woman taught me some Ming characters, we sat face to face on the beach, she held my hand, and taught me stroke by stroke, she is a very good woman." ”

"It's all about money, isn't it?"

Howard laughs, "That's right, that's our ultimate goal." ”

"The Ming people in Guangzhou City look down on you, and they don't even want to talk to you."

Howard raised his hand and pulled Simon's beard and said, "I know many Korean women, and one woman even taught me to read the Book of Songs, and I think one of the most beautiful poems is - My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman." ”

Simon said: "Why don't you look for a Ming woman in the city of Guangzhou?" You're so handsome, so strong, they're going to love you. ”

Howard looked at Simon and said, "As far as I know, the Ming people are not the same as the North Koreans, if I get a Ming woman pregnant, his family will kill me, not kill their daughter like the North Koreans."

Okay, I won't tell you, the beautiful ginger is dead, I'm going to miss her in the coconut grove......"

Lai Qingbo is the least annoying to death.

Because of a mistake, he was assigned to the new wharf by the city shipping company.

He hated the place at New Docks, which seemed to smell rancid at all times.

The boredom in his eyes became even stronger when he saw the shacks erected in the sea, and the children whose shapes he couldn't tell jumped into the sea naked.

If it weren't for the expectation that one day he would be able to return to the city, Lai Qingbo would not stay in this place for a second longer.

He was surrounded by North Koreans, and there were many more waiting for him not far away.

Some able-bodied Europeans kept greeting him, hoping to get his attention so that he could get a better job.

The country of the Koreans was occupied by the Jianzhou people, and they had to flee the place by boat, while the rest of the people, including the Europeans and the Japanese people, ventured to Guangzhou because they could no longer survive in their homeland.

Although life here is very unsatisfactory, no matter who is willing to work, they can eat enough.

This is related to a law of the Ming Dynasty - anyone has the right to have a full meal!

In Daming, even if it is a robbery, if you only take food without harming others, and you happen to have no food, then even if the government catches you, the sentence is very light, at most it is hard labor.

The North Koreans raised their legs and kicked over an Arab who was blocking Lai Qingbo's way, Lai Qingbo waved his hand irritably to let these noisy North Koreans leave, at this moment, he just wanted to find a quiet place to be quiet for a while.

The coconut grove is the quietest place, and apart from a few small crabs crawling around here, there is basically no one to bother him.

The sand here is clean, but there is a person.

Lai Qingbo was about to scold this person and let him leave when he found some words on the sand - Guan Guan Ju Dove, in Hezhizhou. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, long-awaited ......

He thought it was a North Korean, but when he walked up to him, he realized that it was a blonde and blue-eyed European who was writing.

He was wearing a very well-fitting Confucian cedar, and his facial features were different from those of the Ming people, with a knife and axe, and a more statue.

Looking at his warm smile, Lai Qingbo was about to speak, but found that the European hugged his fists and said: "I heard the sage say, what is China, the beauty of the uniform is China, and the great etiquette is the summer."

Now that I am wearing Chinese clothes and respecting Chinese etiquette, can Mr. regard me as a Ming person? ”

Lai Qingbo sneered and said, "Change your skin, reincarnate again, and maybe become my Huaxia." ”

Howard laughed when he heard this, and then said again: "I have three strategies, the upper strategy can make Mr. soar, the middle strategy can make Mr. rich, and the lower strategy can make Mr. the real owner of the new dock."

I wonder what kind of strategy Mr. wants? ”

Lai Qingbo said with a smile: "It's just boring, you can talk about it carefully, if it makes sense, it will naturally not treat you badly." ”
