Chapter 726, they look really ugly
Until they got off the ship, Geert and Pablo's heads were still buzzing, and their eyes were constantly looking at the mountains of gold and silver bricks at the docks, and their minds were full of that glittering silver and gold glitter.
"How much gold and silver did the Ming people plunder from here in the Americas?"
"I heard that they conquered the Aztec kingdom and the Inca empire, and let them make pyramids of gold and silver to atone for their sins."
"Oh God~"
Geert, Pablo, the whole person's eyes are blood-red, blood-red.
"This far-away eastern country is indeed as rich as described in Marco Polo's travels."
"Only God knows how much gold and silver they plundered from here in the Americas."
Geert couldn't help but sigh, Marco Polo didn't deceive people, this huge Ming Empire, it is really very rich.
"Mr. Geert and Mr. Pabro, shall I take you to find a place to stay?"
Wang Dashan walked over with a smile on his face, all the gold and silver on the 'Ping'an' had been handed over, and he, the captain, had also completed his duties, so he could rest for a while.
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Wang~"
Geert and Pablo came back to their senses and said to Wang Dashan with a smile.
"There are a lot of inns in Tianjin, some are expensive, some are cheap, expensive inns such as Tianjin Inn, a good room costs hundreds of silver dollars a night, and the cheap ones also cost more than a dozen silver dollars a day."
"An ordinary inn, one silver dollar is enough to stay for four or five days, I don't know what kind of inn you need to go to?"
Wang Dashan is a native of Tianjin and is very familiar with Tianjin.
Then he looked at the people brought by Geert and Pablo, thought for a while, and said, "There are more than a dozen of you, if you are going to stay in Daming for a little longer, you can also go and rent a house." ”
"Renting is relatively more cost-effective, and guest houses are still too expensive."
"A good inn costs hundreds of silver dollars a day?"
When Geert and Pablo heard this, they couldn't help but wonder, is this Daming's consumption too high.
When they came, they also knew the currency used by Daming, silver and copper coins, and they also knew that this silver was more valuable in Daming.
"Even for the cheapest inn, this silver dollar is only enough for four or five days, which is too expensive."
Geert couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he had already brought some gold and silver when he came, the amount was not much, and he was going to stay on Daming's side for a little longer, so he still had to be careful with his calculations.
"Let's stay at the inn today, and tomorrow I will trouble Mr. Wang to help find a place to rent."
"That's okay~"
Wang Dashan smiled and nodded, and then led them to a familiar inn.
"Wang Dashan? Who are these people around you? ”
"Why do you have big noses and blue eyes? It's like a monster~"
Some people also quickly noticed Geert and Pablo and others, and some people who knew Wang Dashan asked with a smile.
"We're not monsters~"
"We are people from the Kingdom of Spain in Europe~"
Geert listened? Immediately replied very unhappily.
"Europeans?"
"Blonde, big nose? White skin~"
"It's really European~"
Suddenly, the surrounding crowd became interested, and shifted their attention to Geert and Pablo and the others? Then began to talk and point fingers.
"These Europeans are really ugly~"
"You look at their noses? Really big? It's ugly~"
"Their eye sockets are sunken, like ghosts, ugly and dead~"
“……”
Geert and Barbroton heard these discussions around them, and their faces were ugly? Why do Ming people keep saying that they are ugly? I'm not ugly, I was a famous and popular little prince when I was in Spain, how come I was really so ugly in the eyes of the Ming people?
"Mr. Geert, Pablo reality? Let's go~"
Wang Dashan on the side smiled helplessly and took them to squeeze through the crowd? Walk towards a familiar inn.
Geert and Pablo and others are dressed in strange costumes, and they have completely different looks from the Ming people? Everywhere you go, you immediately become the focus? The people around them looked at them curiously.
But soon? Geert and Pablo are used to it? The Ming people were just curious, saying that they were ugly, but they didn't do anything to them.
The two of them began to walk habitually, while also carefully observing and looking at this huge city.
The city is very prosperous and lively, on the wide cement road, there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, the line is in a hurry, and it is very lively.
On both sides of the road, neatly planned buildings are looking at the end of the view, and below the buildings are extremely busy shops, all kinds of shops, and business is very good.
On the dock side of the port when I came, here in the distance, you can see a large number of marine fish being loaded and unloaded from the boat, piled up, but they were soon >> one by one
The carriage was carried away.
Looking further away, in the residential areas, the lights are on, and under the effect of various glass lamps and lanterns, they appear to be splendid, and you can faintly see the high-rise buildings, and there are figures busy non-stop.
"Tianjin is more lively again~"
Wang Dashan looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, he had been away from Tianjin for more than a year, and he returned to Tianjin again, feeling very cordial and slightly strange at the same time, and it had become more prosperous and lively.
At this time, it was just the time to get off work, and the flow of people on the street was very large, and from the factory area, the mighty flow of people poured into the spacious cement road, spreading in all directions of Tianjin.
With the workers of factories and workshops getting off work, the whole Tianjin was boiling and noisy.
Geert and Pablo followed Wang Dashan as they walked, also watching carefully.
"Good clean city~"
Looking at the clean streets, both Geert and Pablo couldn't help but sigh.
Tianjin City is really clean, even though there are a large number of four-wheeled carriages and a huge flow of people, but there is no smelly scene.
You must know that Europe at the same time, it can really be described in one word, and that is the stinky word.
Europe in this period simply stinks to death.
It's not just Europeans who don't like to bathe, so everyone stinks.
What's more, there was no running water system in Europe during this period, there was no underground water drainage system, and there was no public sanitation or anything like that, so it was too common and common to go anywhere in the streets and alleys.
Paris, France, which is famous in Europe, is even more stinky, and there is absolutely no romance at all.
This was true even for the upper class princes and nobles.
The princes and nobles of the upper class of Europe liked to hold all kinds of banquets, but because there were no sewage facilities, they were all messed around after the reception, and a castle stinked after one night.
This is also the reason why the princes and nobles in Europe have many castles, because one castle is dirty and smelly, and you need to move to another castle to live in, and you will not move back until it is cleaned up.
Look at the city of Tianjin in front of you, the streets are very clean, even if it is a four-wheeled carriage, there is a hanging bag behind the horse's buttocks, which is specially used to hold horse manure.
There are no people in the streets and alleys, and there is no pungent and unpleasant temperature, and there is no random littering on the streets, which is clean and tidy.
The city is clean and tidy, the lines are in a hurry, and the busy Ming people are also very clean, and many people are wearing gorgeous clothes and are strolling around very leisurely.
Everyone here is very good-looking, strong and strong, and it is obvious that life is very rich.
After walking with Geert and Pablo for almost a stick of incense, Wang Dashan led them to a relatively remote place.
Tianjin Port is in the most prosperous and core area of Tianjin, where the consumption is too high, even the most ordinary inn, the consumption is not cheap.
Far Inn, one of the many low-end inns in Tianjin, has average consumption, but it is clean and tidy.
"Shopkeeper Li ~ Lao Li ~"
As soon as he entered the inn, Wang Dashan roared.
Soon, a person who looked like a shopkeeper walked out from behind, and the moment he saw Wang Dashan, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Lao Wang, have you come back from the Golden Continent?"
"Haha, I'm back, I just got off the boat today."
Wang Dashan smiled and replied.
"Got a lot of money this time, right?"
Shopkeeper Li asked in a whisper.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'll talk to you slowly when I get back."
"Today, I am here to introduce guests to you, these people are Spaniards from Europe, they met us here in the Golden Continent, and followed our fleet to our Daming."
Wang Dashan smiled and replied, then pointed to Geert and Pablo and said, "This is Mr. Geert, this is Mr. Pabro." ”
"This is the shopkeeper of this inn, shopkeeper Li~"
"Shopkeeper Li is good~"
Geert smiled and greeted Shopkeeper Lee.
"Two good, two good~"
Shopkeeper Li also replied with a smile.
"Lao Li, arrange a few rooms for them to live in first, and arrange food for their men, remember to give some discounts, it turns out to be a guest."
"Yes, don't worry."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and nodded, and then said to his shopkeeper, "Why don't you take the guests to the room and put down the salute." ”
"Shopkeeper Li, this is our money, when the time comes, we will return more and make up for less, do you think it's okay?"
Geert also took out a small piece of gold as a deposit.
"Yes, yes, of course ~"
Seeing the gold, Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up slightly, and he sighed in his heart, this is different from the Golden Continent, the shot is gold, it is really rich.
Geert and Pablo were busy for a while, settling their men in the inn.
