The earliest commercial port of the Chinese in Vietnam was Hoi An, and the Hokkien Hall was built during the Kangxi period, and then the Chaozhou Hall, the Guangzhao Hall, the Qiongfu Hall and so on.

A few decades ago, Hoi An used to be the most prosperous port in south-central Vietnam, but at the beginning of this century, due to the silting up of the river, large merchant ships could not berth, and Hoi An gradually declined, and most of the merchant ships began to trade in Tuo Tan Port, which was sixty or seventy miles north of Hoi An.

Many Chinese businessmen in Hoi An have moved to Tuotan Port, and Ye Zhao is now sitting in the newly completed Guangzhao Hall in the south of Tuotan City, drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

Ye Zhao is naturally his usual rich boy and brother dressed up, such as a pearl and a beautiful jade, with a shining demeanor, Ye Zhao is actually a little helpless, feeling that he is getting more and more beautiful, but he is afraid that when he dresses up in women's clothes, it is also so beautiful that he is bubbling a beauty.

There are three people at the table, wearing a green skirt, and the amorous Jiner grandmother is sitting on the east side, eagerly inquiring about her brother's news with Boss Du.

Boss Du is in his thirties, enthusiastic, his father settled in Hoi An, it can be said that he is the second generation of overseas Chinese, but overseas Chinese are very grouped, go out as a family, Boss Du has close ties with the country, and has business dealings with the Rong family Tao family, and is also the partner of Rong Chunlin, the elder brother of Jiner's grandmother in Vietnam.

At this moment, Boss Du was a little worried, he had inquired about everything, but he really didn't know the whereabouts of Rong Gongzi, and the ship had not arrived at Tuodan Port at all, so he was afraid that he would encounter pirates halfway.

"Well, you didn't meet pirates, did you?" Grandma Jin Er remembered the leprosy king and his gang who were exterminated on the road, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and her heart was full of knots.

"No, no, no." Boss Du actually guessed this in his heart, but at this time, he could only comfort Grandma Jiner, who fell into the hands of pirates, and there was no news these days, so it must be nine deaths.

Beside Grandma Jiner, there was a woman who looked thoughtful and beautiful, but her face was full of sadness, she took a sip of tea, and suddenly began to cry again.

She is the Wu clan who Ye Zhao saved on the road, and she and Ye Zhao did not meet on the ship, because like Boss Du, she also thought that Ye Zhao was a businessman who followed the warship to Tuodan.

Ye Zhao did not go to Phu Xuan, the capital of Vietnam, nor did he make a request to meet the king of Vietnam, but only asked Nguyen Bo Zhai to help him hand over the letter of state, called the letter of state, but in fact, Ye Zhao wrote a letter in the name of the prime minister, praising Emperor Duc, talking about the good-neighborly and friendly relations between the two countries, reiterating the suzerain's concern for the tributary state, and finally putting forward a suggestion, that is, hoping to obtain the right to garrison soldiers in Tuatan Port, which can be used to confront the Western powers externally and to help Emperor Duc consolidate imperial power internally.

I don't know how Emperor Duc will reply to himself, but he has nothing to do, and it is good to see the customs and customs of Xia Tuolan and understand the living conditions of Chinese businessmen in Vietnam.

It was Ye Zhaocai who came to the Guangzhao Hall with Grandma Jiner.

Seeing the Wu family crying again, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he also knew that her husband was killed, she was defiled by thieves, and she really had no face to see. How many people's saliva stars? But it's not easy.

Shaking the fan, Ye Zhao began to explain the people: "Eldest sister, in fact, let me say, you have no fault, what is a loss of moderation?" The man and woman are shameless and unashamed, so you can choose a good family to marry, forget all the previous things, and live a down-to-earth life...... Alas? ”

In the end, he was gently touched by Jiner's grandmother with chopsticks, and he didn't say anything more, Jiner's grandmother was also in a hurry, and the more he listened, the more he said, the more boundless he became, how could a big man talk to a woman like this? Not to mention that there is a man at the table, doesn't this make people die? Listening to Ye Zhao's louder and louder again, he was afraid that he would be heard clearly by Boss Du, so he was really helpless, so he secretly inserted Ye Zhao's leg with chopsticks, but he was immediately startled by his own behavior, and he was just anxious, but he forgot who this man was.

Wu Shi has long been numb under the gaze of the sailors on the boat, in fact, the sailors on the ship may not despise her and secretly talk about her behind her back, but when she was rescued by Pei Tianqing and others, she was unclothed, and she was seen by those rude men, can she still say good things behind her back? No matter whose eyes she looked, she felt that she was laughing at and belittling herself, no matter what the sailors were talking about, she thought she was talking about herself, and sometimes the sailors laughed jokingly, and she thought she was belittled behind her back.

It was Ye Zhao's words that she didn't have any sense of shame, but turned her head and asked Ye Zhao in a dementia: "Childe, you said that I was not wrong?" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slowly, "Well, you're not wrong. The words are light, but they have an irresistible persuasiveness.

"But, but my body is dirty......" Wu Shi seemed to be really stimulated and had a problem, and his face was confused.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "What's dirty?" As he spoke, he grabbed Wu's hand, looked at it over and over, and said, "What's dirty?" ”

"Ahh Wu exclaimed, two red clouds flew up on his pink face, and he broke free of his hand suddenly, and the obsession on his face was gone, and he was held by such a beautiful young man, and said ashamedly: "You, you ......" stood up and ran out.

Ye Zhao opened his mouth, and a guard at the adjacent table hurriedly followed, lest she make any mistakes.

Grandma Jin Er looked at this scene in surprise, she was extremely smart, she knew that the wicked person was not laughing at the Wu family, with the status of the wicked person, her appearance and demeanor, what kind of woman could she not find? How would you be tempted by a woman who had lost her virginity?

And when the wicked make such a fuss, the Wu family will not be crazy immediately, but it is really a cure.

It turns out that this wicked man, but there are times when he has a good heart, he has never known each other, but he is willing to sacrifice his hue to untie the knot for others, which is really unexpected.

In the eyes of Jiner's grandmother, Ye Zhao's hands are naturally "sacrificial hue".

Boss Du didn't know what was going on, thinking that Ye Zhao was joking with his wife, he didn't squeak when he laughed, but he thought in his heart, although his wife can be called beautiful, she is not worthy of this young man, and she seems to be older than this young man.

"Young Master Rong, I'll continue to investigate, and I'll let you know if there's any news." Boss Du said to Jiner's grandmother.

Grandma Jin Er nodded helplessly, and that's all.

Boss Du looked around, suddenly lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Ye Gongzi, second lady, have you ever seen Jing Gong?" ”

Ye Zhao was a little helpless, he upgraded too quickly, and this became Jinggong.

Grandma Jin Er couldn't help but glance at Ye Zhao and said, "I've seen a few times from afar." ”

Boss Du said with emotion: "I heard that Jing Gong is nine feet tall, with a thousand pounds of strength in his arms, and once kicked the barren mountain tiger to death, although the rumors are not credible, but I think he is also a god of earth!" Otherwise, how could the ghosts of Britain and France be afraid of his old man? ”

Jiner's grandmother's phoenix eyes flowed, and the warbler cried softly: "Almost." ”

Ye Zhao coughed dryly, in fact, just now Boss Du asked himself, he was really worried that he was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society who was inquiring about the news, overseas Chinese, almost half of them were disciples of the Hongmen Heaven and Earth Society, of course, this had nothing to do with killing officials and rebelling, it was more of a way to unite fellow villagers, in a foreign country, through this kind of gang organization to unite against foreign oppression.

But who knows if this blandly world will still talk about rebellion all day long? But listening to Boss Du's words, it is not like that at all.

"Brother Du, if the Guangdong Navy Division is stationed here, do you think it's good?" Ye Zhao asked, shaking the folding fan.

Boss Du was surprised and said: "Is it because the tax is insufficient, do you want to come to Tuodan to collect the tax of our Chinese businessmen?" ”

Ye Zhao's action froze, and then he smiled bitterly in his heart, alas, I want China to send troops to protect the interests of overseas Chinese, and later generations will slowly form their concepts, let alone now? It's a pity that many later generations can't do it, but now it's different.

As soon as he closed the folding fan, he was about to speak, but he saw that Boss Du suddenly made a careful gesture to himself and Grandma Jiner, and then he stood up and greeted the door with a smile on his face.

Ye Zhao turned his head to look, and two swarthy soldiers walked into the door of the hall, short in stature, and knew that they were Vietnamese natives at first sight.

Boss Du was clenching his fists and laughing: "The two bad big brothers, they are unwelcome." ”

But seeing that the Vietnamese native who hit the head did not speak, he stretched out his hand, Boss Du hurriedly took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it over, the Vietnamese native took it in his hand, turned around and said a few words, the two natives laughed happily, and Boss Du also smiled, and kept sending the two out of the firm.

Waiting for Boss Du to sit back, Ye Zhao couldn't help frowning and asked, "Isn't this money a legitimate tax?" ”

Boss Du smiled bitterly: "Of course, they are also indebted to come today, if the leading Ru** comes, this money can not be sent away." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "The king of Hades is so difficult to see the little ghost. ”

Boss Du sighed: "That's so, this Vietnamese native people are fierce and cruel, and it's not worth it to clash with them for a few pennies." ”

The gunboats of the Guangdong Navy Division were moored in the port, and the Vietnamese natives were still unscrupulously blackmailing Chinese businessmen, which shows that neither China nor Vietnam has the consciousness of protecting overseas Chinese at present.

Ye Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Nadu has ever thought that the Guangdong sailors are stationed in Tuodan and can protect Chinese businessmen from the extortion of Vietnamese officials. ”

Boss Du was surprised: "Will the sailor take care of our people's affairs?" ”

Grandma Jiner smiled and interjected: "Others may not care, Jing Gong's motto is to take the people as the sky, and the Chinese all over the world, his old people are regarded as people." ”

These words are not only sycophants, but also suspected of trespassing, but Grandma Jin's second grandmother is soft-spoken, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.

Boss Du was excited: "Is there anything else going on?" If you live overseas and can still be protected by Jinggong, then it is really a great blessing for me to wait for small businessmen, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this thing is not allowed, right? He hurriedly said: "It's not that I can't believe Brother Ye and the second lady, but I really can't believe it!" Well, this is something I've never heard of? ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly: "Whether it is successful or not, Brother Du will know later." ”
