Chapter 5 Sanpin Street

Sam Pin Street, which is one of the nine new streets in Bangkok built by King Rama I, is also the most famous and prosperous street, and more importantly, it is a Chinatown.

On both sides of the street, there are all Chinese-style two-story wooden buildings, and the shop signs that stick out are all in Chinese, and all you hear in your ears are Tang Yin, Hakka, Hokkien, Chaoshan, Vernacular, and even Northern Mandarin can be heard one or two times.

Ye Kai walked forward briskly, as if he had returned to an antique commercial street in the future!

Speaking of Thailand, it is different from other Nanyang countries, the biggest feature is that there are many Chinese and their status is high.

It is said that at least half of the people in Bangkok in later generations have more or less Chinese ancestry, and today's Bangkok is even higher, and the newly usurped Thonburi Emperor Zheng Xin is a famous Chinese.

Zheng Xin's father was a native of Huafu Village, Chenghai County, Chaozhou, and he was revered as the head of the five great emperors of Thailand in Thai history.

Therefore, even after he was usurped by Rama I, it still could not stop his high position in the hearts of the Thai people, and the descendants of Rama I also specially designated December 8 every year as Emperor Zheng's Day, in order to commemorate this Thai Chinese national hero.

And even the usurper Rama I, who not only had a Chinese name Zheng Hua, but also claimed to be the son of Zheng Xin, and his mother Li (Lin? Daozhen is also a Chinese.

Throughout Thailand, from politics to economy to military, Chinese are indispensable everywhere.

Therefore, after Rama I usurped the throne, he did not purge the Chinese in the country on a large scale because Zheng Xin was of Chinese descent as later generations imagined.

The Chinese in the entire Sanpin Street, in addition to a slight loss, are also doing business and drinking.

According to ordinary people, in the last few years of the Thonburi Emperor, some of the practices are indeed debatable, otherwise, the palace guards would not have launched a coup d'Γ©tat.

。。。。

Longsheng, this is the Ye family's branch in Thailand, from porcelain, silk, bristles, rhubarb and other goods, to small exchange business, they do everything, in the Thai Chinese circle, Longsheng is also a first-class business.

In the back house of the Longsheng, Ye Kai changed into a Chinese short coat, and Anna the golden silk cat also changed into a Chinese dress that looked a little nondescript to her.

Now Anna is not so afraid of Ye Kai, because she found that although this yellow man was ruthless, he was still very kind most of the time.

No! It's not called kindness, in Anna's opinion, it is very gentlemanly, and the conversation is also extraordinary.

He was able to clearly recount the life of the Sun King, and he was able to dissect the Holy Roman Empire, a woman with a little Habsburg bloodline, who seemed to be very complicated!

He also has a very good cooking skills, and with just one roasted oyster, he has conquered Anna, who has not eaten well since coming to the East, and she never thought that a little minced garlic and chili peppers could make oysters into supreme deliciousness.

However, according to the man himself, what he is best at making desserts is, just listening to the meaning of the word tiramisu in Italian, Anna's saliva seems to be overflowing!

"Shu Wu! There is a ship coming from Haojing tonight to go to Pattani, and I have already contacted you to see you off in the middle of the night when there are few people! ”

Just as Ye Kai and Anna were staring at each other, a slender man with a serious face walked in.

Although he was in Nanyang and the weather was hot, the man was still wearing a robe and still dragging a big braid behind his head.

This person is the helmsman of the Ye family in Bangkok, Ye Kai's third uncle, Ye Fushun, and the big treasurer of the Ye family's Longsheng!

"Shu Wu! After you go back, you have to listen to your father's words, don't be willful, those Guangnan people are easy to provoke, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that it is still a prince! ”

Ye Fushun looked at Anna, who was dressed strangely and had a smile on her face, and then looked at Ye Kai, who was not in shape, and sighed again for no reason!

I don't know anything when I'm seventeen or eighteen, and I don't know how to be the head of the Ye family in the future!

Shu Wu is Ye Kai's big name, of course he knows why this cheap third uncle in front of him sighed.

Anyone who puts on such a nephew who is not high or low, and loves to cause trouble will have to sigh, and what is even more terrifying is that this nephew is still the successor of the 'King James'!

"Okay! Third uncle, don't worry! I'll listen to my dad when I go back! ”

Ye Kai replied with a smile on his face, it wasn't that he was perfunctory, he really thought so.

Others don't know, Ye Kai, a traverser, knows, the history of the Chinese in Nanyang is a history of blood and tears, and now it's a little better, and when Westerners come to Nanyang in large numbers, the life of the Chinese will be even worse!

In the eyes of these colonists, the Chinese are cows that squeeze out milk, and can kill fat pigs that eat meat.

Not to mention saving all the Chinese, at least to make the Chinese less easy to bully in Nanyang!

He asked Anna, it is now 1784 in the Western calendar, the 'Huwei' of the Qing Dynasty in the north is still there, and the Westerners and natives do not dare to make a big show about the Chinese, the living environment has not completely deteriorated, and when he returns to Pattani, he must plan well!

"Then you're gone, what should you do with this foreign woman?" Ye Fushun looked at Anna and asked.

"Just give her some money and let her go!" Ye Kai waved his hand indifferently!

"Nonsense!" Ye Fushun's face sank suddenly.

"She knows everything, what if she goes back and tells the people of Quang Nam?"

Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, and only then did he think of a question, he made a big mistake this time, Ruan Fuying's dignified Guangnan Lord was held hostage by him in public, can he retaliate?

If he leaves, what will happen to the Ye family up and down the Longsheng?

Before he could ask, Ye Fushun took a deep breath and opened his mouth to say, "Forget it!" You don't care, I'll deal with this foreign woman, and if you don't have a witness, I'll say that you haven't been to Longsheng, and you have no proof to die! ”

it! This is to kill people and kill people! Ye Kai looked at Ye Fushun, who had a ruthless face, and his heart slammed!

He suddenly felt that he was no longer in the peaceful Republic of Kangtai in the later generations, this was the eighteenth-century Nanyang where human life was careless, killing people and goods was commonplace!

At the same time, Anna Amalie, who was happily eating oysters, suddenly couldn't help but shudder!

"Daddy! Father! Come out quickly, there are a lot of Quang Nam people outside! A shrill voice shouted in a low voice outside the door, it was Ye Kai's cousin, Ye Fushun's eldest son Ye Ming!
