Chailao is an ordinary miner.

Relying on the Luzon aristocracy and employing them to mine for a living.

The gold mine where he works is not far from the port of Manila.

I also heard about the Han Chinese coming to Luzon to trade.

At first, he was unimpressed.

And because they are in the South Seas and the news is closed, ordinary people in Luzon have no feeling for the country of Dahan.

It's just that it's just a foreign power.

But with the influx of a large number of fine porcelain and gorgeous satin.

and the Han Army's sailors, who went down to the ocean to catch Kun.

Chai Lao and all the miners learned about the strength of the Great Han.

At the same time, worries about one's own country have also arisen.

The Great Han is so powerful, will it come to attack them?

Even some radical Luzon people were ready to fight the Han Chinese.

With different cultures and languages, they will not accept the rule of the Han Dynasty as easily as the Jiaozhi people.

Fortunately, this radical sentiment gradually dissipated with the friendly trade of Han merchants.

There was also Prigo, the henchman of King Roshe, and two thousand Luzon soldiers, who made friends with the Han Dynasty.

Dahan should be a friendly country.

At this time, some ordinary Luzon people also began to trade with the Han Dynasty.

Luzon is a self-sufficient economy, but it is not without money.

Those Luzon people who have mines at home are not only their own families, but also the workers under them, and they do not earn less.

After all, as long as you come into contact with the gold mine, it is like sneaking a few grains into your ass, and some are ways to sneak a thing or two.

Chai Lao has been working for people for 20 years, and he was lucky to survive a mine collapse.

So he saved up some gold.

However, he still didn't have the idea of porcelain and silk.

These things are too expensive.

And once seen by others, it is easy to be suspicious.

So Chai Lao plans to buy some medicines for the Han people.

The Han people also sell Chinese herbal medicines, many Chinese herbal medicines, and occasionally I hear those nobles say that they are all life-saving things.

Chai Lao wants to buy some Chinese herbs to keep in case of accidents.

If you have the opportunity in the future, when you see a big person who is seriously ill, you can still offer it diligently, maybe you can be worshiped as the king of divine medicine, and you will be at the peak of your life from then on.

It's those Han businessmen who are really a bit inappropriate.

During the months of my stay in the port of Manila, several batches of different versions of the drug were sold.

In the beginning, it was an immature semi-finished product.

The back was upgraded a level and became a tail cargo.

Although the smell is a little unpleasant and the appearance is a little abstract, it can still cure diseases and save people.

And then it tastes good, but it's abstract.

Again, it smells good and looks good.

It is estimated that the efficacy of the drug will be improved in the future.

Even the output, the combination of drugs.

In fact, the efficacy of each generation has been improved by a little bit, but the price is dead expensive.

But even so, those Luzon nobles were secretly scolding, and at the same time laughing and tearfully taking out the gold.

Why?

With this Chinese herbal medicine, it is exclusive to Dahan.

Healing and saving things, you just say you love to buy it or not, right?

Porcelain, silk, and other goods.

That's probably the case.

The first products were all rotten.

There is no hard way, and you can't buy upgraded and iterative products.

As for what you said, Han Shang has a black heart.

That person also has a point.

If the goods can't be sold, where will the money come from to hire shipwrights, and the money to hire the Han sailors to escort them?

They are the children of a boatload of families, all of them are people of knowledge and conscience.

The shipwrights on the ship must be well fed and dressed, and the sailors who escort the ship must be well served.

But the Luzon nobles are all wronged.

took the gold, and frantically scraped together for the silk and porcelain that cost only a dozen or a hundred yuan.

From between his fingernails, the big man leaked out some tea leaves, all of which were fragrant.

Chai Lao's family background is not so thick.

I can only wait for a suitable version before I can buy it.

But then came the Luzon authorities, restrictions on trade, and massive surveillance of the aristocracy.

The number of goods purchased from Dahan was strictly restricted.

But it's not hard to get a chai guy.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.

In these days, he has long been idle and figured out the way of the Han people.

For example, because the Han people felt that there was a lack of cultural and recreational activities in Luzon, they deliberately invested in the construction of Goolan Washe.

Today's great man likes to sing.

He even earned a city with music.

It's also a matter of what he likes.

It is said that the funder was the monarch of the Cochin Kingdom before.

It's a high-end place.

However, it does not restrict the entry and exit of ordinary people.

This time, Chai Lao took half of his net worth and sneaked to the place off the coast of Manila Port.

There's a clearing.

In the middle, it is the hook fence of the warbler and the swallow.

The winding path in the building is secluded, and candles are lit.

The ethereal aroma of rouge permeates everywhere.

Faintly, you can see a group of pretty women, they are wearing exquisite makeup, wearing silk and satin, like warblers and swallows, attracting many men who are looking for fun.

Chai Lao was a little red-faced and red-eared, looking a little cramped and uneasy.

He could vaguely identify the women through some of their features, all of whom were native to Luzon.

I haven't found out that there are so many pretty women before.

The fat powder of the Han people is really powerful.

Chai Lao's gaze wandered, trying to avoid making eye contact with these graceful women.

In this splendid environment, he felt extraordinarily restrained.

Suddenly, he saw a burly man dressed as a Luzon officer, and entered the building with the woman's silky hospitality.

Chailao immediately expressed indignation.

Good fellows, we pay taxes to King Roshe, and these soldiers actually use taxes to do such things?!

It must be criticized.

Chai Lao immediately walked into the building, and after a while, under the fragrance of the candle, he was hooked and lost his soul.

"Friend, do you want to cut down the skin?"

The chai guy who was in a trance was suddenly pulled back to the display by a deep voice.

I saw He Hongyin standing next to him compassionately, pulling him into the corner, and then pulling the placket up slightly.

The whole person looks like a wolf waist and ape arms, with a slender figure, and is very heroic.

Especially the eyes.

The desire in his eyes was hard to hide, almost like he was going to swallow him.

Hiss.

Chai Lao blushed for no reason.

There is even a male waiter in this hook fence Vasheri?!

"Skins to be cut?"

He Hong saw that Chai Lao was stunned, pointed to the kun skin on his body, and repeated it again.

Well?

Leather?

Chai Lao looked at it seriously, it was really.

This person is wearing Kun leather clothes, is he here to bring goods?

He scratched his head and said:

"Aren't you wearing it like this?"

Among the goods of the Han people, the sales of kunfu are not very good.

The main reason is that the climate in Luzon is too hot.

There is almost no concept of the four seasons throughout the year, and it is all hot days.

In this kind of weather, you can dress coolly as you want.

Kun skin can only be used for decoration and collection, and almost no one will buy it and wear it.

Especially ordinary Luzon people like Chailao.

There is simply no spare money to buy such useless things.

He Hong lowered his head again, and his voice became more gloomy:

"The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty made Kun the king of Luzon."

"If you have a kun skin at home."

"There will be the blessing of the king."

What a thing.

I'm here to buy Chinese herbal medicine, who wants your kun skin that is useless when it's a big fart?

Chai Lao was about to send He Hong away, but when the words came to his lips, he looked at the Kun leather clothes, and somehow couldn't take his eyes off.

Luzon Mansion?

Kun?!

Chai Lao didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

It's just that for no reason, I want to get close to Kunkun.

With his worth, he naturally can't be like a Han sailor, and he can even raise tiger kun.

But he also wanted to eat the kun meat and put the kun in his stomach.

Or wear kun skin clothes and stick to kun kun.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that Luzon is really protected by Kun?!

"Why don't you try?"

He Hong somehow, in the blink of an eye, took off the Kun fur coat on his body.

"Try."

Chai Lao imagined the scene of the giant kun swimming in the sea, invincible.

Imagine that under the protection of Kunkun, Luzon has a smooth wind and rain, and a bumper harvest year after year.

It was as if he was following the devil, and regardless of the heat, he picked up the kun leather coat and changed it on his body.

Unexpectedly, this second-hand Kun leather coat was worn on the body, but it could never be taken off again.

It always gives people a unique touch.

It seems that the soft and delicate silk is perfectly blended with the tough and thick leather.

The soft and hard texture wraps the body just right, not tight or loose, like a girl's kiss, and fits the skin.

Even Chai Lao tried it, wearing a kun leather coat, whether walking, sitting or lying, he could feel a kind of extremely comfortable comfort in his heart.

Chai Lao also saw the Luzon officers and soldiers who had just taken the lead and entered the Goolan Tile House.

The officer, under the deception of the Han people, changed into a kun leather coat.

He's not as entangled as Chai.

Wearing it on his body, he felt the strange feeling in his heart, and began to rub it carefully, and chose the kun leather clothes that fit him.

Chai Lao swallowed.

The idea of buying Chinese herbs has been completely forgotten.

Chinese herbal medicine can cure diseases and save people, but can't Kunkun?

How many years without illness or disaster, and being able to get out of the mining disaster, must be this destined Kun fur coat, protecting himself.

"Your Excellency, may I ask what is the price of this Kun leather coat?"

Chai Lao couldn't hide the longing in his eyes at all, and asked He Hong urgently.

He's out of luck.

When I met other people, I estimated that there were still two children left in my pocket, and I couldn't say that I could still eat a cup of tea and listen to music in this Golan Washer.

But in front of He Hong.

As long as you don't bend down in the Goolan Washe, serve tea and sing songs to others, you will be considered successful.

He Hong snapped his fingers, this chai guy looked like a poor man, and he couldn't squeeze a few taels of oil and water.

But a few taels of oil and water, he had to squeeze them all out.

"A kun leather coat costs two ingots of gold."

In these days, businessmen are lowly industries.

Most of the children of the family who followed the sea were not very successful guys in the clan.

The hope of the true clan is not to stoop down to do some businessmen's things.

But even so, they have their own pride.

In the past, they would never have done this kind of work like a street vendor in Goolan Washe, and they had to be sneaky and buy and sell.

But in the hands of the Luzon people, the golden gold was in front of them.

It's all profiteering.

Under heavy profits, there is no face.

On ships today, so to speak.

The pearl of the bright moon, the stone of the crow, the fragrance of Shennan Longsu, the wonder of the lion Kongcui, the treasure of the plum brain Weilu, and the beauty of the coral Yaokun are all full of water.

Without exaggeration.

Going to sea is simply a huge profit!

But in He Hong's opinion, there can be more profiteering.

"If it's too expensive, you can also exchange fifty pounds of pepper."

"I need pepper, lots and lots of pepper."

"Ten pounds of pepper can even be exchanged for a piece of silk."

"But only for this month, you King Roshe, there are restrictions on our trade."

The abacus in He Hong's heart rang out, and it was estimated that He Kun heard it in Qiongzhou.

Pepper is a spice that is even more profitable than some of the unique jewels of the South Seas!

The pepper that has always been money, when it returns to the Central Plains, can be sold for 100 yuan.

100 times the benefits!

Liu Ke has a full view of everything.

Although his current trade policy is to skip the surveillance of the nobles by King Roscher, and profit from the small people.

But I didn't expect that the attraction brought by [Free Trade] and [Qi Ji Kaifu] was so great.

The Luzon people, who almost dared to come to Goulan Vasheri and secretly bought and sell, had to buy some kun meat and kun skin when they went out.

Or, it is for the sake of Kunkun who was forced to sell his body and couldn't get out of Luzon.

"This is still the most basic level of [free trade], if you collect some business-related mandates, synthesize it for [free trade], and upgrade it to a higher level like [Jishi Anmin]."

Liu Ke didn't dare to think about it.

Isn't that better than tobacco?

Once other countries have formed a trade dependence on the Han Dynasty, is it not easy to pinch and flatten the circle?

"Speaking of [Jishi Anmin], why is this Luzon still not shocked?"

Earlier, before he went to sea, he sent a credential to Luzon and warned of an earthquake.

Now that the Siam capital has been shaken, the king of Siam is so frightened that he surrenders his hand.

Why hasn't Luzon been shaken yet?

Liu Ke has been waiting until now, also to wait for the earthquake.

Before he could expand his thoughts.

All I heard was a rumbling sound.

"Your Majesty, there are big waves on the sea!!"

Dian Chu hurriedly said to Liu Ke that if the emperor didn't evacuate quickly, he would directly carry the momentum of leaving.

"Don't worry, go take a look."

If there is an earthquake in Luzon, it is not good.

Because of the coast, after an earthquake, it is easy to cause a series of chain reactions, such as large tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, all of which are possible.

However, Luzon was affected by the disaster, and the Han Dynasty just showed the humanitarian spirit of the great state and urgently provided disaster relief.

We are big men, but in order to help the victims, can you still not let us go deep into the hinterland?

Then take advantage of the disaster relief and take the opportunity to give you an ecological survey of the whole territory of Luzon.

Isn't it normal for you to protect the environment, see if the land can still be cultivated, and whether the gold mine can be mined?

If this behavior is effective in Luzon, it can be imitated in the future.

Anyway, there is a [Jishi Anmin] here, no matter what natural disasters you have, we can give you an early warning.

With the same means, go to Dongyi, which also has a large number of minerals and the same calamities, and draw scoops according to gourds.

As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers are exotic, and the wind and the moon are the same.

When Liu Ke went to the beach, he saw the waves rolling violently on the sea.

The rolls are higher than the floor, and the waves that rush to the sky are even higher than the houses in the harbor that roll from time to time.

Many nearby Luzon people also saw this scene, and they were worried one by one.

Gan Wenban proposed to move the fleet away quickly.

He knew that the emperor had sent a letter of state to King Roshe earlier, saying that there would be an earthquake in Luzon.

Isn't this a sign of an earthquake?

He has seen the earthquake in Gaozhou.

If the fleet encounters an earthquake or tsunami, nine times out of ten it sinks, it is estimated that the income of this trip will be lost.

"Don't move, don't move, there are still nets on the ship!"

He Hong, who came in a hurry, hurriedly dissuaded.

"When the waves are big, the more fish will hit the net."

"As far as your method of inviting guests to dinner, no amount of silver is enough to spend!"

A group of people couldn't help but look sideways.

This dog thing, it's a real buckle, not only buckled, but even the pattern is not there.

If it weren't for the fact that the goods were indeed a bit level, they would have been secretly poked and sunk into the sea.

"There's no hurry, just look at it."

Liu Ke was the old god and appeased everyone.

He even boarded the ship himself and saved the rope attached to the rudder in his hand.

If it's an earthquake, there's no place to do it, and it's safer than being in a donkey-headed boat.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really fall into the sea, you can still float in the sea.

Throughout Manila Bay, all day long, the wind and clouds surged, and the waves did not stop.

Those who live near the sea, even hiding in their homes, can hear the sound of the waves churning and crashing.

The chai guy even pinched the kun leather coat on his body, and kept shouting Kun Kun's blessing.

Although he is still some distance from the sea.

But when I listen to it, it feels too scary......

It seems to be close to the end of the day, and at any time, it can wash away others.

Even the port of Manila has a rare number of lights at night.

Prigo also urgently bought some candles for lighting.

Today's waves really shocked everyone.

Some people listened to the fact that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had warned earlier that there would be an earthquake in Luzon.

Thus more afraid.

What if an earthquake or tsunami suddenly hits the port overnight and you can't escape?

It's not just Prigo who represents the Luzon authorities and is taking action.

The ordinary Luzon people below also have their own methods.

Some people sat in front of their homes and sat all night.

There are also people, some people who put the kun skin clothes, kun meat and so on in the bucket, ready to run away with the bucket at any time.

There are also people who simply hide in the mountains.

The Han people are not so exaggerated.

Although Prigo temporarily replaced the king of Roshe, he agreed to let the Han people go deeper and take refuge.

But they all listened to Liu Ke's order and squatted on the boat.

The night passed, but it was not a big deal.

The waves roll one after another, but the Han fleet, steady as an old dog, is much safer than on the ground.

So much so, early in the morning, just after dawn, there were many astonished Luzon people standing around the coast.

"I was scared to death, the whole family didn't sleep all night, and I thought there would really be an earthquake and tsunami, but I didn't expect to scare myself."

"Who said no, we sat there in the middle of the night and waited, but by dawn, nothing happened."

"Don't mention it, we all ate the northwest wind in the mountains all night."

"That's it, you see that the Han people are not afraid, and they stay directly on the ship."

"It's on the cusp of the wind and waves, without dodging, what are we afraid of?"

"Is there a possibility, maybe something will happen today?"

"Shut up!"

"No, no, no, there is the blessing of the Luzon Mansion."

"I think it's the Luzon Mansion with the title of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and there is Kunkun, so it's okay."

"Look, the waves on the sea don't seem to be as big as they were yesterday."

"It's hard to say......"

"Maybe something happened to the Batangas, we're far away from here, so there's a bit of a wave."

"Don't talk nonsense, Batangas are the royal capital."

"What's wrong with Wang Du, Wang Du is not sucking yet"

Another full day of watching the sea.

The people of Luzon paid attention to the tide and watched the waves churn all the time, and did not weaken a little as they imagined.

People were heartbroken, and they saw that it was getting dark again.

Forget it, it's better to prepare again, either run away with a bucket, or go straight to the mountains.

I didn't dare to let go of the belongings I packed up last night, I held them all in my arms.

However, after staying up all night, nothing happened.

On the third day, the waters off the port of Manila were filled with a flurry of Luzon vernacular.

Hearing this, the Han people shook their heads again and again.

Your kingdom is too poor to reproach.

There are even some people who have some resentment towards the big man.

If it weren't for your emperor, who had been warned months in advance that there would be an earthquake.

They will not tremble like this when they see a few stacks of waves.

Suddenly.

The waves are getting bigger again.
