Chapter 273: Impressions of Lisbon
The port of Lisbon is much messier and dirtier than the port in Manhattan.
There is no way around it, and in the time of 1621, Europeans had not yet noticed the importance of hygiene.
Here, the scenes of feces, garbage and sewage flowing everywhere made Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan frown.
Seriously, they can't stand this kind of urban condition.
Although Zhao Hongyu can often learn about some scenes of this era in blockbusters in later generations, those scenes are very beautiful, as if Europe is really so beautiful.
But when Zhao Hongyu and the others really came into contact with Europe now, they found that everything was not like that.
If you really want to describe it, it is that the cities of this era are dirtier and messier than the urban-rural junction of later generations, and they are a hundred times worse.
The Europeans not far away, mostly in rags, gathered there and kept gesturing with the Sea King, and from time to time they exchanged heads.
Very few of the people there have very new clothes, and they are basically dirty and greasy.
There were even a few down-and-out aristocrats with patches on their clothes.
Obviously, even aristocrats sometimes don't necessarily really look like in film and television dramas, where they spend every day and drink and beauties are fed by their sides.
There will also be poor aristocrats, who are even more depressed than the poor.
The reason is very simple, the poor will find things to do in order to live, and no matter how poor they are, they can go to beg for food to survive.
But not with these down-and-out aristocrats.
Face and vanity, as well as fantasies about their noble titles, make them unable to let go of their figures.
Therefore, it is no news that every winter, many down-and-out aristocrats in Europe will freeze to death.
God is pitiful, aristocrats are really not something that everyone can do.
Lucky to have some property at home, bad luck...... I can only hehe.
"This is Europe. Damn, I can smell feces here. Wang Shan smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Hongyu.
The expression on Zhao Hongyu's face was also very helpless: "That's right, when we enter the city, I think you can't stand that taste." Thinking that he would have to go ashore and enter the city in a while, Zhao Hongyu felt scared.
Yes, he saw that there was still and urine flowing on the street. And there are many women holding containers that seem to be dung buckets, and constantly dumping the excrement inside on the ground.
And on the streets, people are for the convenience of travel. A few planks were laid and connected one by one, and stones were laid underneath.
It can be seen that the dirty environment on the streets has reached a point where it is the same.
It's still near the port, and if it's in the city, the environment will be even worse.
It can be said that the European cities of this era were completely built on feces, urine and feces, and it is not an exaggeration to say this.
"Honey, your face is a little unpleasant. Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
At this time, Sara found that her man's face was not very good, so she leaned over and asked worriedly.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, I think it's too dirty here." That's why I don't want to go ashore. But if the local nobles come to greet us, it will be a little too impersonal if I don't go ashore, won't it? ”
Zhao Hongyu told Sara what he was worried about.
Hearing this, Sara raised her right hand and gently hugged Zhao Hongyu's arm. Slowly resting her head on his shoulder.
"If we don't like it, we don't go ashore. I think it's nice to be on a boat, and I think it's really dirty. Ever since I've seen Manhattan, I haven't found Europe appealing. ”
Sara also expressed her opinion to Zhao Hongyu and gave an offer.
If you don't want to go ashore, don't go ashore.
"But if I do that, what will those people think?"
Zhao Hongyu said with some concern.
He knew that it would not be long before news of his arrival would spread throughout Lisbon. And the aristocrats of Lisbon will come to the port in a grand way.
What does he mean to them, Zhao Hongyu knows that he is not an idiot.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu fell silent, Sara thought that he was still worried about it. So she comforted: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." Your status and status have been destined to be more exalted than theirs, and the goods of the Empire are also needed by them, so they will flatter you and do everything you want, and they will even be willing to kneel down and lick your boots as long as you please. ”
Sara was all too familiar with all of this, especially the temperament of the nobles.
Therefore, she did not think that her little man would have any effect if he did not apply color to these nobles.
On the contrary, if he did this, it would make the nobles flatter him even more.
Aristocrats, that's it.
Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I decided not to go ashore." The environment was so unbearable that I thought I was in a big toilet. Zhao Hongyu, who wanted to open it, accepted Sarah's suggestion.
"Wang Shan."
"What's the matter, Your Highness."
Zhao Hongyu called Wang Shan, and after Wang Shan heard it, he hurriedly walked over and asked.
"You send men to guard below, and if the nobles of Lisbon come, let them come on board, I won't go down. You have to tell them that, because it stinks. ”
Zhao Hongyu said a few words to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan bowed and said, "Your Highness, I don't like this place either. ”
"Honey, how long are you going to stay here?" , Wang Shan turned around and left with a squad of genetic human warriors, put down the deck and walked off the battleship After Sara walked over, she asked Zhao Hongyu how long she wanted to stay here.
In her opinion, her little man didn't like this place, and he shouldn't stay too long.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and replied, "Let's stay first, although I don't like this place, but I want to arrange some things here." Not long ago, when he entered the port, he heard Sara tell him about Portugal, and immediately had an idea in his heart.
It is clear that now the Thirty Years' War in Europe has begun.
Then you might as well take advantage of this opportunity to make Europe more chaotic.
If you can disrupt their process of dominating the seas and give yourself more time to develop, why not?
In short, it is good for him that Europe is in chaos.
In that case, let's make it a little more messy.
Hey
Zhao Hongyu laughed in his heart.
"Wang Shan, come up for a moment."
Wang Shan had just arranged for those genetic soldiers, and Zhao Hongyu leaned out from the deck and shouted.
Peal pedal, pedal, pedal
Hearing Zhao Hongyu calling for himself, Wang Shan hurriedly turned around and ran up.
"You come with me, I have a plan here, I want to discuss it with you."
After Wang Shan came up, Zhao Hongyu walked over and motioned to him sideways and asked him to follow him.
"Sarah, Emma, you stay here, Wang Shan and I have something to talk about over there, something very serious." , Zhao Hongyu said to Emma and Sara before leaving.
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan had serious things to do, and of course Emma and Sara knew that they couldn't bother him.
"Okay, go ahead. We'll let you know when the nobles come, but they still have to dress up and won't be able to get by for a short time, and I know them too well. Sara said to Zhao Hongyu with a smile. And if I'm guessing right, those nobles brought their own daughters, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan both stopped when they heard this.
Wang Shan is eyes rolled, as if he had some ghost idea, and then like a fox stealing chickens.
And Zhao Hongyu had a wry smile on his face.
"Your Highness, do those nobles still want to use beauty tricks?" After walking to the captain's room at the stern of the ship and sitting down, Wang Shan said with a smile. Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "Bullshit, I'm not that kind of pervert, and it doesn't work for me to make beauty tricks, what do they think I am." ”
Wang Shantai opened his hands, pursed his lips and said: "Actually, Your Highness, you don't have to care too much about these things at all, the European nobles in this era are still very open, even if you make their daughter belly bigger, they won't say anything, you don't have to have a psychological burden at all." ", to Zhao Hongyu Wang Shan's tone was very frivolous persuasion.
"If those nobles really use beauty tricks on you, then I advise Your Highness to accept them all. It's nice to make their daughters' bellies bigger and then abandon them. ”
Wang Shan's idea was very bad, and Zhao Hongyu didn't think to follow his advice at all.
He, Zhao Hongyu, is not so bad.
"Forget it, I don't want to do anything like that. Although the nobles of this era are a little unreliable, there is nothing wrong with their families, and there is no need for me to do such a thing, otherwise I would be different from those rotten people. ”
Zhao Hongyu sat down, shook his head and said.
"Well, it's up to Your Highness to do this. So now you can tell me what you're looking for me. After Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu made a joke, they returned to the main topic.
"I see that Your Highness's expression is a little bad, it seems that you are playing some bad idea." , Wang Shan looked Zhao Hongyu up and down, and then said. "Well, let me guess if it's related to Europe."
Zhao Hongyu raised his eyebrows and replied, "You kid is very smart, yes, you guessed very right." I do have such a plan, and it has to do with the current situation in Europe. ”
"Okay, Your Highness tell me your plans, and we'll sum it up." , After listening to Zhao Hongyu's answer, Wang Shan put away his appearance and became serious. (To be continued.) )
