"It's just a trivial matter, why bother, just let them go." Xu Housheng stumbled to finish speaking.

Li Laohai didn't force anything, but just said a few more words in dialect, and the An Kebao who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed a few more times, got up and ran away, and didn't even dare to turn his head back.

"This place in Macau, I have been here a few times, Xu Gongzi does not dislike it, I will be a guide for the old man," Li Laohai said slowly.

Everyone stayed on the boat for so long, Xu Housheng immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Li is here to be the guide, this is the best." ”

According to the rules of respect and humility at this time, the noble and the low are different, and the titles are different, with Xu Housheng's identity, at most Li Laohai is called "Master Li", "Lao Li" is normal, but Xu Housheng has been interested in coal and iron since he was a child, Xu Zhenzhen in order to envelop the craftsmen, is to let Xu Housheng call the craftsmen elders, and when Xu Zhenzhen marries into the Zhao family, Zhao Jin is also very unparticular about respect and etiquette, respecting the old and loving the young.

Over time, this Xu Housheng has also developed a habit, he always calls his uncle when he sees the elderly, and it is always good to be polite, and Xu Housheng has limited experience in the world, and has always been protected and grown up, he has never seen anyone treacherous, and he has always been very sincere in treating people.

It is this title and sincerity that after Xu Housheng got on the boat, everyone had a good impression of him, maybe Li Laohai was so enthusiastic because of this, of course, this guarantor was not in vain.

Seeing Xu Housheng so happy, Li Laohai nodded with a smile, Nie Hei and Yu Ou glanced at each other, and followed silently.

Macau is indeed not big, and it is not even as good as the county seat of Xiao County, but the entry of the sea trade port is Jinshan Yinhai, which will make it extremely prosperous.

Although the place is small, there are many things to see when people come here from the Ming Dynasty, such as the Francois building on both sides of the cross street, the regulation is obviously different from the Ming Dynasty, the bottom floor is a porch, the whitewashed walls, the decoration of Western patterns, and the wooden shutters, from time to time there is a beautiful sound of the six-stringed piano, but the first thing visitors see is the big cross at the intersection of the crossroads.

Because there are only a few streets, so I am willing to spend money to build roads, the road surface is very smooth, and the road is full of Francophone people, Ming people, blacks and indigenous people in Southeast Asia, as well as the characteristics of such colonies - mixed-race.

In this place, all the visitors from Xuzhou were indeed dumbfounded, the white people were actually fine, everyone had seen Louis's master and servant, but this black man was the first time to see him, Xu Housheng muttered there, "Kunlun slave, this is Kunlun slave".

Soon everyone is not only these, according to Li Laohai's explanation, there are also natives from Tianzhu here, who look about the same color as the natives of Southeast Asia, but their bodies are relatively tall, and their eyebrows and eyes are also different, and everyone has also seen a lot of Ming faces, but they are short and abnormal figures, these people are often dressed as servants, running for the Francos and Ming people.

"This is the Wa people." Li Laohai explained.

"Wako?" Xu Housheng asked in surprise.

"What kind of Japanese are these Japanese people, but they are poor people who can't live in the Japanese country, and there are many people who believe in this religion, and there are many Japanese people doing things here, Luzon and Nanyang." Li Laohai explained lightly.

The white people in Macau are more than 1,000 hundreds, but it can also be seen that the nobles and lows are different, and there are also nobles in brocade clothes riding horses, although the clothing decoration and swords are different from those of the Ming Dynasty, but there are also different styles, rich and noble women sit in a sedan chair carried by two people, with veils, and there are slaves with umbrellas behind them.

"This one is the same as our firecracker." Someone whispered, and I could see a few soldiers-like Franc Robot talking and laughing past, probably just returning from duty, carrying a firearm and a wooden fork, and the dirty military uniform was open.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to these soldiers, staring at the firecracker, everyone didn't trust the foreigner Louis in their hearts, and saw that the firearms of this Francophone soldier were similar to those of Zhao Ziying, so they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's far worse than our family." Someone muttered, Nie Hei was also nodding, and then noticed that Li Laohai was listening carefully, and hurriedly gave his companions a look, asking everyone to be cautious.

As he was talking, he heard a scream not far away, and everyone looked over, but it was a drunken sailor who had been pulled out with a rattan by the servants in front of the street gate.

In addition to the normal pedestrians on the street, there is also a scene, there are sailors everywhere who are shaking and even wandering around, the origin of the sailors is also varied, yellow, white, black and brown can be seen, most of them are drunk, there are a lot of stumbling, more people are lying on the side of the street, they never stay in one place for a long time, experience life and death at sea, and naturally get off the ship and then unscrupulously wander the wreckage, so there are guards in front of each house along the street, if there are sailors approaching, unceremoniously use sticks to drive away.

After reading these in a flash, Li Laohai went to a commercial house first, and after chatting a few words, two guys came out to entertain them, and they followed the team from a distance, and followed them if they had any questions.

"The sea lord faucet on the ocean has familiar shops in Macau, or it is their own industry, presumably this is related to the Li family." Yu Ou understands this.

Although this exotic style makes everyone dizzy, Xu Housheng still remembers the purpose of his coming here, and after looking around, he asked where he could buy artillery, Li Laohai just called the guy over and asked, and the guy immediately led everyone to a store on the other side of the port, which made everyone feel a lot of emotion, this is really not the land of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many places where the Ming Dynasty privately casts artillery, but it may not be so open-minded.

There are no shopkeepers in the shop, but there are a few characters with a similar temperament to Yu Ou, when everyone enters, the people in the store are ignored, or the guy said a few words, and stared at Li Laohai for a while, and his attitude became a lot more polite.

"The artillery is not difficult, there are two kinds, the cheaper ones are made by our Ming Dynasty, you have to wait for some time, if you are willing to spend money, our store will go to the port to ask the people over there, unload a few cannons from their sea ships, the artillery on the foreign ship is easier to use than our Ming, hit far, hit accurately, and the explosion is less." All the people who came were customers, and the store was quite attentive.

"Can you find a master who can forge cannons?" This is the purpose of Xu Housheng and his entourage, a few people in the store looked at it strangely, and then said: "There is a master of cannon casting in Xiangshan County, if you want to be good, go to Foshan, no one can be invited." ”

Xu Housheng hesitated, thinking that this shop was openly pulling fiber for the artillery business, and he didn't have to hide it, so he immediately said: "Is there a cannon casting master of this person?" It's the craftsmen who cast the cannons for them? ”

When these words came out, the people in the shop exchanged glances with each other, looked at Li Laohai again, and then said with some embarrassment: "I really can't get this."

After saying this, the person who answered coughed and said: "It's not difficult to buy foreigners' artillery, there are many people who see money on these foreign ships, and the price is enough, just remove a few from the ship, but it is really not easy to find this foreigner's craftsman who casts cannons."

He hesitated, and after saying this, he looked at Li Laohai again, and then said in a sullen voice: "The person brought over by Uncle Li is not an outsider, this guest officer, everyone knows that this Macao foreigner has his own cannon foundry, and everyone knows that the goods inside are good, but for so many years, no one has been able to pour things out of it, and the foreigners themselves are also staring closely, we do this business, who doesn't want this money, but after tossing for so long, there is no way, guest officer, you are new, don't fight this idea." ”

Xu Housheng's mind was not slow, he understood what the people in the shop meant, and thought that they wanted to use the craftsmen of the Guò Cannon Foundry to pour out better artillery from it.

"Is there a cannon foundry in Macau?" Xu Housheng didn't know this, he just thought that there were more foreigners here in Macau, but he didn't expect to learn the news from the store.

When he asked, the people in the shop were also confused, so they simply didn't say much, and their attitude was a little cold: "If the guest officer wants artillery, if you don't want it, don't delay the small shop to do business." ”

Xu Housheng groaned slightly, and then said affirmatively: "Yes, as long as there are artillery on the foreigner's ship, I don't know how many kinds there are here?" ”

This question surprised a few people in the shop, this guest officer didn't even know how many kinds of artillery there were, and he was still here to buy a big picture, and he wanted to fight the idea of a cannon foundry, and they looked at Li Laohai again, they didn't know this one-armed man, but the introduction of the guys just now was not in vain, with this person, this rich young man was not unbelievable.

"There are a lot of cannons on the ship, more than a dozen kinds of large and small, but the kind that is too big, bigger than our red-coated cannons, and the ship does not dare to sell them, but there are still a few kinds of one catty, three catties, six catties, and twelve catties, and if you are lucky, you can also get eighteen catties."

Seeing Xu Housheng nodding there, several people in the shop exchanged glances, but they had some meaning of encountering a fat sheep, but looking at the expressionless Nie Hei and Yu Ou and others, as well as Li Laohai, who had been indifferent, everyone shook their heads again, so it was better not to cause trouble.

"Guest officer, there are some things to say first, these foreigners' catties are different from ours, they are a lot lighter than ours when it comes to delivery, don't think that the little ones are deceived."

"I know this, a pound from the foreigner is almost eight taels to nine taels from us here."

Xu Housheng's answer surprised the people in the shop very much, the young boy who didn't know anything actually understood this conversion.
