The seaport of Xiamen was also controlled by foreigners, among which the Japanese were the most powerful, after all, Xiamen and the Japanese were only across the sea, and it was also an important garrison for the Japanese in the Qing Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After ten days, Ye Shaolong and his entourage finally arrived in Xia Port from Tianjin Port, which is different from Tianjin Port, which is more prosperous, almost the same as Guangzhou, Macau, Hong Kong and other places.

Ye Shaolong's ship had been changed to a merchant ship, and as soon as he docked, he saw a group of 'coolies' flocking in. The prosperity of the harbor has created a prosperous coolie industry.

Almost every household here lives on the sea, and all sea-related work is a way for the local people to make a living.

And coolies are undoubtedly the most active trade, after all, you don't need any skills to do this, as long as you have the strength to carry things, you can eat here.

Coolies are also divided into regions and gangs, and it is impossible for individuals to survive here, so they must be grouped. In addition to business competition, it must also be supported by powerful gangs to survive.

As soon as Ye Shaolong and the others came ashore, the leaders of three coolie gangs came up, and there was no doubt that they all came to ask for help moving goods!

Ye Shaolong smiled and said nothing, and directly pushed Li Chengke out to deal with it. Li Cheng was not stupid, and soon took the opportunity to find out the basic situation of Xia Gang.

When he learned that this place belonged to the sphere of influence of the Japanese Invaders, his heart couldn't help but jump slightly. immediately found an excuse to send away the leaders of the three coolie gangs first, and caught up with Ye Shaolong to inform him of the news he had inquired about.

After Ye Shaolong groaned a little, he ordered to find an inn to live in first. Here, if you are not familiar with life, Ye Shaolong must first find out and have a bottom in your heart.

However, since this place is the base camp of the Japanese robbers, it must be a little more careful.

"Don't make trouble, let's find a place to live first, and then make arrangements!"

"Yes, young master!" And they answered yes.

As for calling Ye Shaolong a young master, it is naturally to hide his true identity, after all, in the land of devils, Ye Shaolong's identity must not be exposed.

Walking along the avenue of the port, Ye Shaolong found that there were indeed many Japanese warriors haunting here. They were extremely arrogant, and they were not at all looked down upon by the coolies.

Whenever you run into them on the road, the slightest collision will definitely attract a beating or insult. And these are lucky, and there are even many people who have been cut off by them.

Just beside Ye Shaolong, an infuriating scene happened. A coolie carrying goods accidentally bumped into a Japanese samurai, and was immediately beaten by three people.

After being beaten half to death, the samurai who was hit suddenly drew his katana and broke one of the man's legs with a swing. The man fainted to death on the spot, and he fell in a pool of blood and could lose his breath at any time.

There were more than 400 people in the Qing Dynasty who were watching, but none of them dared to step forward to save the man, and they all watched as the man slowly lost his breath in a pool of blood.

At this time, there were less than ten Japanese warriors, and these few Japanese warriors dared to kill their compatriots in such a reckless humiliation in front of the men of the four hundred Qing people.

The iron tower snorted angrily, and the iron rod in his hand slammed on the ground, even if he wanted to rush up and kill these few Japanese warriors.

Ye Shaolong frowned, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he drank coldly: "It's not much." ”

"Young master, they ......." The tower was not convinced, and pointed at the wolf's defense.

"Tell you to stand down, do you hear?" Ye Shaolong drank coldly again, and his tone was much heavier than before.

The tower was still indignant, but he didn't dare to disobey Ye Shaolong's order, so he had to reluctantly retreat.

At this moment, he felt contempt for Ye Shaolong's timidity and fear, and his previous worship of Ye Shaolong had dropped directly to the freezing point at this moment. Tie Ta didn't expect that Ye Shaolong would actually become such a villain.

Seeing his compatriots being humiliated and killed, he didn't even dare to step forward to stop them, just like those people who didn't dare to come forward to stop them.

Ye Shaolong had already guessed what he was thinking from the face of the iron tower, and sighed helplessly. This trip is to look for talents, not to fight, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and if you are so impulsive as the iron tower, you will have to kill everyone sooner or later.

Seeing his compatriots being humiliated and killed like this, how could Ye Shaolong not be angry and angry in his heart, but obviously he couldn't come out blindly. He turned around and whispered a few words in Li Chengke's ear, and Li Chengke nodded again and again after hearing this, and stayed with the two guards.

Ye Shaolong left with the others, and when he left the port, it was a bazaar, and there were countless merchants coming and going, but it was a prosperous scene.

The shops on the street, a dazzling array of goods, the sound of selling, bargaining one after another, compared with the scene in the port just now, one in the sky and one on the ground.

Ye Shaolong took a fancy to a restaurant called 'Frequent Inn', with only one façade. But seeing the endless flow of merchants coming in and out, it is obvious that there should be a hole in it.

The shopkeeper greeted customers with a smile at the door, busy and sweating, but still diligent.

When he saw Ye Shaolong's more than a dozen people standing still, the shopkeeper stepped forward to solicit business.

"Childe wants to stay overnight, and it can't be wrong to come to our 'Frequent Inn'. Don't look at our small façade, in fact, it is a courtyard-style accommodation. If there are many sons, it is cheap and cost-effective to charter a yard. ”

Ye Shaolong smiled after hearing this, nodded and said, "We are new to your place to do business, so the requirements for accommodation are not high, mainly because it is convenient to find out the news." ”

The shopkeeper laughed: "Childe, then you didn't choose the wrong one, you can also see that we have a lot of merchants here, and there are many merchants here to talk about buying and selling business." ”

Ye Shaolong casually glanced at the inn, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then arrange a courtyard for us." ”

"Okay, Childe, please come with me." The shopkeeper smiled like a flower, and when he turned around, he led Ye Shaolong and the others to the backyard.

There is indeed a cave inside the inn, the façade is more like a gate, and the inside is a courtyard divided into three entrances. Each time you enter the compound, there are four small courtyards.

Although the small courtyard was very ordinary, it was very clean, and Ye Shaolong was taken to the west courtyard of the second entrance to live. According to the shopkeeper, the four courtyards here are all merchants who live in the business.

Ye Shaolong took a cursory look at a few rooms, and he was very satisfied, and there was no problem at all for more than a dozen people to stay, so he asked for the courtyard on the spot.

The shopkeeper was very diligent in helping to arrange for everyone to move in, Ye Shaolong saw that he was diligent, and generously rewarded him with a few taels of silver, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and served Ye Shaolong and them like his own parents.
