Chapter 163: Billy in Kaesong

Li Zhe's butterfly wings are changing history little by little, whether it is the canal or the overall development of the eastern Yanzhou, there is no doubt that it will be the action that will stir up the general trend of the world in the future, and the consequences will be far-reaching, whether it is Tianzhu or the Mediterranean, Europe has been stirred into it.

The consequences are so great that even if you try to cover it up, it is impossible to hide the success, and this level of change has made some people's eyes have to focus on him.

Under the scorching summer, after several months of construction, the port of Kaesong and the city have undergone earth-shaking changes, but when they enter it, people feel that the biggest change is still the people and the population.

There are too many people in Kaesong now, crowded in the port in a mess, and the port is crowded like the New Year, Rao is Xin Lao Liu has walked through almost all the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but he has rarely seen such a busy seaport.

Looking at the steam engine tower cranes lined up in the port, the more than 30 ships of steel, wood, and grain escorted by their old Liu family this time were unloaded from the ship, and those giant trees that ordinary people couldn't lift even a dozen big men were easily lifted from the ground by the crane and put on the shore.

Xin Lao Liu has to admit that even the Mengzhou Mansion, which is far away in the sky, has not caught up with such a remote Kaesong in the application of these new machinery, and it can be seen from this that the throughput of this Kaesong port is probably far from the limit of the traditional port, and I am afraid that it is far greater than many big cities in Tianzhuben.

The Metropolitan Governor has really spared no effort in promoting the application of these strange skills, which can also see the confidence of the Metropolitan Governor in this legendary Yanzhou Golden Mountain. From this point of view, the old Liu family's investment in it seems that it should still be a bad calculation.

Xin Lao Liu is the old captain of Liu Xun Liu's family, and is in charge of the old Liu family's maritime merchant fleet. This time, I came to Yanzhou with my own family.

This time, not only Liu Xun and Lord Liu came to this Yanzhou, but also Fang Hongjian of the Fang family, Qin Jian of the Qin family, Li Jinzhong of the Internal Affairs Office, and the families of many old and important ministers also came to Kaesong.

Billy Harrington looked at the port of Kaesong in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes, this is Kaesong? Is this still Kaesong? This is really different from the Kaesong he remembers, not only in terms of scale, but also in terms of prosperity, the area and population are all much different.

If in the past, Kaesong was just a small port and fishing village, at most a military fortress, which allowed passing merchant ships to dock and provide a certain amount of maintenance and supply capacity, then now Kaesong is a real big city port, and everywhere reveals the courage that he used to only have in Hamburg, London, such top port cities.

The Song people built such a majestic city thousands of miles away from them, so their ambitious ambitions still need to be covered.

Fortunately, it was he Billy Herrington who came to see it himself, if he hadn't come in person, just by spies, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of such a result by breaking his head!

In such a majestic city that can be built thousands of miles away from the country, the courage and strength shown by the Song people are really breathtaking!

In the face of such strength, what can he do with a new Helsinki, even if all the men in his territory pick up swords and guns, I'm afraid the number will not be half of this port!

The seemingly endless population and national strength of the Song people is really terrifying!

Billy Helington and his entourage pretended to be ordinary European sailors for most of the day in the port of Kaesong, and finally turned around the port in front of them, where most of them were still construction sites, and several people were looking for a place to eat, and finally found a tavern owned by Europa people on a dilapidated street.

Tom's Bistro.

"Hey! Master! ”

Thomas, the knight who had been carefully guarding Billy, showed Billy, and Billy Harrington looked at it, oh, yes, I didn't expect that there were still restaurants opened by Europeans here, and his profession was a governor after all, and it can be seen from this point that the governance of the Song people seemed to be very gentle, and they didn't seem to care about foreigners opening shops and doing business on their own land.

It's a good sign, it's a sign of civilization, and if there's civilization, it's possible to communicate, and from that point of view, can he Billy think of a way to give both sides the best of both worlds?

Billy and the others lowered their heads and entered Tom's tavern, and as soon as they entered the door, Billy frowned, the smell and noise of this tavern was exactly the kind he hated the most as a nobleman, the kind of place that had to be strictly controlled even in his territory, the kind of place that hid the most filth.

The tavern was a mess, and as soon as Billy entered, he could see that it was full of the lowest kind of people in European society, sailors and mercenaries, blood-sucking leeches, and everywhere there was a war, the shadow of these people would appear.

Originally, Billy Herrington still had some appetite for food, but as soon as he entered the room, he was immediately smoked by these people, and he lost his appetite at all.

Just as he was about to turn away, he suddenly heard someone in the tavern say,

"Hey, have you heard that there are a lot of big people coming to Kaesong now?"

"The big guys, where are the big guys, these big guys are all the big guys of the Song people, what does it have to do with us?"

"Hey, it's a big deal, brothers, haven't you heard that this Yanzhou Jinshan has been mined, and the shares of this Kaesong Mining have already begun to circulate! The big shots who came this time are all major shareholders of Kaesong Mining, and they are all well-known big names in the Song people, and they all came to Kaesong this time, don't you understand what this means? If anyone can get a few shares of this Kaesong Mining share, it will be worth a lot of money, where is it still used as this damn mercenary. ”

Yanzhou Jinshan, Kaesong shares?

Billy Hairington heard this, and when he heard it, he knew that it must be the nearby gold mine, which was related to this Kaecheng share, as for the word share, this was still transmitted from Europe to the Song Dynasty, this thing is really the original of Europe, of course Billy can understand.

But if you can understand it, you can understand it, and Billy doesn't understand it too well, if there is a gold mine in this Yanzhou, there will be a gold mine, and how big a gold mine there is, it can attract the local big people of the Song people, and it can also make the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion endorse.

At the mention of the word gold in these years, Billy, who is the governor of a land, can't help but be attracted to attention.
