"Hey, hey, you're making a fortune, why don't I serve you two more side dishes?" As soon as the waiter saw the gold coin, his face smiled like a little old man, and he pretended to excuse himself.

"No, talk to me more, this is a talking point!" Wu Xiuyan is very unaccustomed to Xiao Er's virtue when he sees money, but if he doesn't do this, he really doesn't talk much if he gives less money. Instead of going to the street to ask someone, it is better to spend more money to ask him, not only can you chat steadily, but also will not attract the attention of others.

"Well, then I'll talk to you about the rules of the empire, in fact, they are all written on it. The imperial law stipulates that as long as you enter the territory of the empire, you must follow the imperial law, whether you are a Song or a Japanese, as long as you break the law, it is all a treatment, you should be whipped and whipped, and you should be thrown into the mine for labor reform. And not to mention that this is bullying foreigners, in terms of law, the residents of the empire must also abide by it, and the people of the empire and foreigners are the same. ”

"I won't talk about stealing chickens and dogs, you are all big dealers, and you will definitely not do this kind of thing, I will say a few things that everyone usually doesn't pay much attention to and are easy to neglect. For example, spitting, urinating, throwing garbage, a fine of three silver coins or half a day of voluntary labor, you choose; Another example is the destruction of public property, as long as it is not your own, it is best to care about using it, don't even fall and beat, let the police see it, ten times the cost of the fine plus five days of compulsory labor; There are also drunk fights and swearing, don't look at me as a waiter, but you can't beat and scold me, this is a felony, and the fine if you are caught is not scored, and the judge has to decide how much. ”

"Actually, my emperor is quite reasonable, I have never seen such a reasonable emperor! The police will punish you and arrest you, don't resist, but then you can go to the Imperial Court and sue them, and the judge will help you monitor whether the police are doing the right thing. If it's right, then you just take it, you deserve it; If the police do something wrong, the judge will arrest the police and convict them, and then they will also compensate you for your losses. ”

"Do you see that row of houses to the east? That is the court in the port area, if you have a grievance, you can go to it, if you are afraid that it is not clear, you can still ask a lawyer at the door, of course, it is not in vain, and you will also give money. However, this money is not spent in vain, and if the lawsuit is won, all this money can be recovered. To tell you the truth, when I was whipped, my uncle took me to file a lawsuit, and spent ten silver coins to hire a lawyer...... In the end, I didn't win, and it was spent in vain! "One hundred percent of the gold coins worked, and the waiter's words were immediately revealed, and he muttered a lot, and told his own story as evidence.

"Ah...... Ah......" At this time, there were suddenly several screams on the dock, which were extremely terrible, not only startling the merchants in the restaurant, but even the waiters involuntarily shrunk their necks.

"See, everyone, you must watch and learn more when you go out, don't learn from me, it's too late to learn when you get whipped! Oops, this whip is so strong that you can see the meat directly. It's over, this one will lie on his stomach for at least twenty days, which is worse than me. But there is one thing, they can see the female nurses in the Imperial Hospital, and it would be beautiful if I could marry a nurse as a wife. They were very kind to people, changed my dressing every day, and told me a lot of things I didn't know. Hey, by the way, the best way for anyone who wants to know more is to get a whip. Admission to the hospital is free, and you can eat and drink for free. In fact, as soon as I close my eyes, it will pass, and it will hurt for seven or eight days, and I will still be a good man when I come out! "This waiter has a very Hongtao style, and there are a lot of soups, not at all like the shopkeepers in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, who neither nod their heads nor open their mouths to shut up the uncle and the second master, neither humble nor arrogant, and obviously have a feeling of superiority when he speaks.

"Phew! With such a thick whip, I would have to die with one whip, and even the hospital you said would be saved. I'll say a few, who has better eyes, read this thing to us, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I can't see the words on it clearly. A fat merchant, who was also wearing leather sandals, did not dare to look at the scene of the flogging on the dock anymore, so he turned around and took out the pamphlet from his pocket, opened it and looked at it vigorously, but he still couldn't see it clearly.

"Yes, yes, yes...... It's serious! Little two, are you literate? Recite to us what it says, this gold coin is yours! The words of the fat maritime businessman immediately resonated, especially the maritime merchant with the background of the strait company. They know what the style of the people in Jinhe Country is, and they talk about the rules first in everything they do, so it's better to abide by the rules.

"Tom! Tong! Tong! Before Xiao Er's hand could touch the gold coin, three loud noises suddenly came from the direction of the Golden River Estuary.

"Oh, today is a good day, the emperor is back! Ladies and gentlemen, it's not too late to do the work of studying for a while, hurry up and look at our emperor's big ship, it is higher than the mountains at the mouth of the river, compared to it, these boats on the dock can only be regarded as lifeboats. Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, the emperor is back! The Emperor is back! Take the flag! "Most of the maritime merchants in the restaurant heard what these three loud noises were, they were the sound of cannons. But they didn't know why the artillery was being fired here, could it be that the enemy was coming? The shopkeeper was different, after hearing the sound of the cannon, he didn't even want the gold coin, threw down a sentence and ran to the counter, shouting as he ran.

Dian Xiaoer is not wrong, it is indeed the King of the Sea is back, these three cannons are all empty cannons, but the battery at the mouth of the river is reporting safety to the King of the Sea, by the way, I also inform the people in the city that the emperor has arrived! Probably this means, as for whether everyone comes out to welcome, the imperial law does not explicitly require it, if you love it, you will come out, and if you don't love it, don't come out. The emperor once said that love should come from the heart, and if everyone is forced to put down their work and run out to welcome themselves, it will make no sense except to scold themselves, but it will make the people even more annoyed by their emperor.

In all fairness, Hong Tao, the emperor, was quite popular with the people of the empire, and after three cannon shots, many people came out of the city, all holding the national flag of the empire, and spontaneously went to the military dock to welcome their emperor back to China.

There are people who can't leave their jobs, such as this shopkeeper, who also took out a big flag from behind the counter, ran to the window and unfurled the national flag, shaking it from side to side. Other shops and factories are similar, and all kinds of national flags are hung at the doors of all the houses that can be seen. The shipyard across the river is the most powerful, and the national flags it hangs out are almost bigger than the sails of the salmon class, which are probably made of sailcloth, and are hung directly on the gantry crane, and when they are unfolded down, a big rat's head is exposed, and they smile very happily.

"Look, look! Here it is, here it is! Good fellow, if you can sell me one, I'll only make one trip to Musca Harbor a year! Lao Hu, you said that this ship must have 2,000 tons, right? The good-eyed merchant soon saw a huge sailing ship on the river in the distance, and was dumbfounded. They are all connoisseurs, and they can tell at a glance the size and displacement of the ship, and even the most powerful can judge how much cargo the ship can carry according to the type of ship.

"It's more than 2,000 tons, don't you see it under the waterline, it's spread outward, it's a pot-bellied man, if you want me to say at least 2,500 tons. The second brother is right, now I think the new boat I just bought is so awkward! I don't know when Emperor Hong will be able to sell such a big ship to us, you said that if you drive it to Maskar Harbor, how many goods will have to be loaded, maybe even the Sultan's palace over there can be loaded. Listening to the words of this maritime merchant, a fake connoisseur next to him immediately began to comment, and then began a reverie, fantasizing that he could also have such a ship.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Look! Look! Emperor Hong was standing at the stern of the boat, waving at me, smiling! "More clever maritime merchants have already taken out the telescope, and this thing is now not too rare, and it is sold in the Straits Company. Since the advent of glass and mirrors, the production of telescopes has increased rapidly, and of course, the price has also increased.

"Nonsense, the emperor knows who you are, and he smiles at you! That's smiling at me, I also ate at the same table with the emperor, can you compare? "Among merchants, in addition to who has bigger ships and more ships, they will also compare who has better clothes and high-end utensils, and then they will compare who has more business experience. If there are maritime merchants in the Strait Company, there is one more comparable thing, that is, who has been in close contact with Emperor Hong, this god can greatly improve his status.

"Brother Wu, have you ever memorized its appearance? Can the imperial court build such a big ship? At this time, no one noticed the two people standing in the southeast corner of the third floor, Boss Sun's face became very bad since he saw the big ship, and Wu Xiuyan was holding a telescope and looked at the big boat that was slowly sailing by with sails lowered on the river, without saying a word.

"Shh......h I'm watching, don't bother me. Wu Xiuyan's eyes didn't leave the telescope for a second, but he just put his left hand to his mouth and made a silent motion.

He and his younger brother have studied in the navigation school for three or four years, and they think that their grades are good, and they have learned everything they can learn, and they have learned what they can't learn. However, the samurai were different from other maritime merchants, they not only rushed to the sea, but also built their own ships. The samurai brothers have been exposed to shipbuilding since childhood, and they have a great interest in shipbuilding, and through these years of study, they have also explored a lot of shipbuilding techniques.

Originally, the two of them thought that their ability was close enough to the shipbuilding technology of Jinhe Kingdom, and it was not impossible to at least imitate the salmon-class merchant ship, but now Wu Xiuyan understood what it meant to be a son and a stepmother. The huge body of the Sea King, he only dared to think about it in his dreams, but it really appeared, just a few hundred meters in front of him, it really couldn't be real.
