Chapter 285: Venice Scroll (1)

"P301T14557854 arrived." Lorraine's voice was calm and orderly, and Huang Xuan shook off his numb feet and jumped out of a white light. followed by Chu Yining.

Lorraine's ability was not enough for Huang Xuan to step out of the P plane, and this was exactly what Chu Yining wanted, she didn't open the energy screen, but still called the base.

Compared to Yasuo's sluggishness, Chu Yining's Mika was extremely fast, and it was only a blink of an eye that connected to her. Huang Xuan was only envious for a moment, and then he became nervous again.

With this woman, even if she is as beautiful as a flower, she is always restless, or in other words, anyone who stands with a beautiful woman like a flower will be restless.

Huang Xuan asked Lorraine softly, "Where are we?" ”

"Venice in the 15th century, we are now on a lagoon reef on the Adriatic Sea, with a plane resemblance of 72%." Lorraine added, "You can stay for 8 days. ”

Chu Yining also noticed the beating waves here, frowned and said, "What's the situation here?" ”

Huang Xuan didn't know anything except that Venice belonged to Italy and was a legendary water city, so he asked rhetorically, "Don't you know your plane base?" ”

"This is the territory of the Green Pine family, and the Authority rarely comes here, in fact, if it weren't for the discovery of some dimensional bases in the R plane, this would be a desert."

Just like the first time Lu Min and the others arrived in the Three Kingdoms Era, they did know very little about the P plane. Huang Xuan said disapprerovingly: "Then you can follow me." ”

As he spoke, he opened the energy screen and looked at it, leaving Chu Yining looking around.

Neither of them used the plane base to scan the entire plane, which consumed too much energy, in fact, most travelers only scan the plane channel, only travelers who focused on one item would use the overall scan function, if you choose too many targets, the huge amount of information will make a scan meaningless.

Huang Xuan turned around and asked Lorraine, "Where are the people nearby?" How far away? ”

"There are many people gathering 3 kilometers to the north." Lorraine quickly replied: "The relative similarity here is 81%, and a lot of the material you see can be used." ”

Huang Xuan nodded clearly, and while looking at the north, he walked forward, and gossiped with Chu Yining by the way: "What is the general purpose of the Authority's plane travel?" ”

"Learn about the local culture, background and history. Access to Nendon and resources is rare. Chu Yining said without concealment: "But we rarely travel planes, and most of the time it is to capture travelers. The Authority pursues broader dimensional autonomy rather than dimensional colonization. ”

The gravel near the beach was very sharp, and Chu Yining added a layer of energy cover to himself, so that he could walk boldly with confidence, and jumped over when he encountered a slightly wider place - with the help of energy output, of course. She even split the boulders that stood in front of her path, and then used her energy to block the flying dust and rubble.

Such a straight-line travel method is faster, but the price makes Huang Xuan speechless, even if Chu Yining's plane base consumes less, compared to such a long distance as the space-time desert, 10 times the loss is also the smallest estimate, and just now, the high-energy output displayed on the energy screen is as much as 0.5 hot pounds. In other words, on a 1-kilometer journey, Chu Yining used up 5,000 energy circles, and with the loss, it was worth 50,000 energy circles, even an aircraft carrier, and she didn't spend fuel alone.

Huang Xuan was reluctant, and there was not so much energy available, so the speed quickly slowed down, Chu Yining smiled apologetically, paused, and then raised the speed again.

It seems that she doesn't care about this kind of consumption at all. Fortunately, the houses that appeared on the horizon could be seen soon, and the speed of the two people immediately slowed down.

Huang Xuan secretly reflected on himself, he had just asked a stupid question, if it was a normal honor, most of them would not ask "the purpose of your trip", and he didn't know how to make up for it, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Finding a flatter place, Xiao Huang took out the modifiable clothes that he had prepared before, and then transformed the appearance that Lorraine took from the opposite side, as for Chu Yining, her clothes seemed to be able to automatically change their appearance, much more advanced than Huang Xuan's, and at the same time, she also smeared some of her face, so that the bright "color" was not so obvious.

The two of them packed up and stopped, and only then did they move forward, and when they reached the distance where they could hear the human voice, two guys dressed as peasants saw Huang Xuan and Chu Yining, probably because of their skin color, and one of them shouted: "Where did you come from?" ”

Huang Xuan didn't know if there were any Chinese merchants coming and going at this time, so he waved his hand and replied, "From the East." ”

In the 15th century, Venice began its most prosperous road, with the victory of the Chioga War, Venice eliminated its greatest enemy in the Mediterranean, Genoa, and Florence also defeated Venice's long-time rival, Pisa, in the early 14th century, so that from 1380, that is, 70 years before Huang Xuan's arrival, Venice established its maritime commercial supremacy.

During this period, musk, porcelain, silk and cloves from the East were the favorite items of European merchants.

Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice is talking about this wonderful period of pressurization of the merchants. According to the books, it is the embryonic period of capital, there is no international police, no international conventions, no contraband controls, there are few customs, and of course there will be no antitrust laws.

In this context, the Venetians were the first to invent transparent glass and sell it all over the world. They built the world's largest shipyard and arsenal in the entire world, monopolizing East-West trade for two centuries.

The strength of Venice can be explained in two ways: the Crusades that began in the 11th century were able to last for 200 years, not because of the piety of the British, nor because of the martial arts of the Germans, but because of the requirements of several commercial cities such as Venice, which repeatedly supported such large-scale military campaigns by lending and donating money to these countries. After the Fourth Crusade, the Republic of Venice, as the most powerful state in Italy, monopolized trade with the countries of the East and seized many trade and military points of Byzantium.

Another measure of Venice's wealth was her income in the early 15th century, which exceeded 1.5 million ducats (3.55 granes per dhaca, or nearly 1/8 ounce) per year. At modern value, it is nearly US$85 million. When the people of the Ming Dynasty called "27 million stone of tax grain in the world", although it could not be converted into today's price, it was also in a similar category to 1.5 million gold and daka.

Thus, by the time the 15th century came, Venice had become the largest city in Italy and Europe, with 100,000 inhabitants.

At this time, one in 100,000 inhabitants of Venice, a peasant, decided to hand over Huang Xuan and Chu Yining to a policeman – a dangerous and dirty profession that had been assigned to every 150-200 inhabitants since about the 15th century, roughly from the eight-member security council in Florence. The former is due to the fact that the police in this era were still part of the army's support force, often participating in the defense of the city, fighting side by side with mercenaries, while the latter was caused by their corrupt and derelict social image.

It is no exaggeration to say that the police in the 15th century were just a rabble of social dregs.

Huang Xuan didn't know much about the police gentlemen in Venice, but he didn't think he should be put into the police station by a guy who might be a farmer, maybe a jobless. He turned his head to look at Chu Yining, who was painted black, thought for a while, and said in Chinese within the scope of politeness: "How do you usually deal with such problems?" ”

One in 100,000 Venetian shouted, "Don't talk, damn it, can you understand what I'm saying?" I'm going to send you to my cousin, and then you're going to stay in prison. ”

Chu Yining shook his head amusedly and said, "Let's leave." ”

Chu Yining, who was dyed blackened, could still see the perfect contours of his face, and the moment of blooming made the Venetians stunned, and following the "liquid" body that remained, Huang Xuan understood why he was treated so differently. It seems that it is not all smooth sailing for beautiful women on their trips.

Walking behind a house carved with a statue of the Virgin, Huang Xuan saw that there was no one around, and suddenly kicked the Venetian, who may have underestimated Huang Xuan's figure, and was kicked down against the wall for a moment.

"Stun him." Huang Xuan said to Lorraine.

Dealing with this Venetian, Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Now there are two options, Piazza San Marco, or Piazza San Gacomo." ”

Chu Yining picked up the blown hair with his hand, and asked with a distinguished demeanor, "What's the difference?" ”

Huang Xuan only glanced at her, then quickly turned around and said, "Near St. Mark's Square there are the most important parts of the municipal construction in the whole of Venice, including the library you may like. Piazza San Gacomo, on the other hand, is a commercial square where many merchants gather. ”

When Chu Yining heard the word library, he looked at Huang Xuan with some doubt: "You agree with me to go to the library here?" ”
