Chapter 88: Everything is Fresh

On the vast Atlantic Ocean, Zhou Yu and them had smooth sailing, and the ancient well had passed seven days without waves.

In addition to eating, drinking, and enjoying the sea view every day, everyone gathered in Zhou Yu's room to listen to him tell some of the cultural history of the New World, which also fascinated everyone and yearned for it.

In Zhou Yu's mouth, this is a chaotic, disorderly, free, and vibrant continent, and the most adventurous people from all over the world flock to it, all wanting to dig out their own bucket of gold.

Oil, cars, movies, coke, chewing gum, skyscrapers, these things that have only been produced in the new century make the C13 brothers yearn for and have a little bit of fear.

Especially when Zhou Yu said that there was a building dozens of stories high, the fortune teller even shouted, "Oh my God, didn't that person live in the heavenly court?" ”

In addition to these new things that are visible to the naked eye, the federal government of the New World has also become the world's largest creditor and capital exporter through the war, and is bound to gradually replace London as an international financial center.

And in the process, they sold weapons on both sides, dumped arms, issued government bonds, and grabbed the world market.

They first issued war loans to the Allied countries, and after receiving the indemnity from the defeated Central Powers after the victory of the Entente Powers, they began to repay the debts to the federal government of the New World, and the latter took the money to lend to the Central Powers that were stuck in the mud after the war.

"Mr. Zhou, I can't wait just to hear you say, isn't the chick there looking energetic?"

Hu Rentian wiped the beard at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes radiated a different kind of light.

"Of course it's energetic, and it's very unrestrained, most of them like rugged men, Lao Hu, you have a natural advantage in this regard."

"Really?"

Hu Rentian grinned with a big mouth full of white teeth, and seemed to have seen the fat and thin Yanma walking towards him.

Hong Agui held a short knife the length of his forearm in his hand, gently wiped it with a cotton cloth, and said coldly, "I only care if there are enough weapons there and whether the variety is complete." ”

"Ah, it will satisfy you, as it has the widest range of weapons in the world, and you can buy them in the shops on the street. Don't worry, when you settle down in the place, I will buy a set of equipment for each of you, now we are not ordinary people who have just arrived in the Chinese labor camp, what we have is gold~"

Zhou Yu patted the box that was placed under his bed, and everyone smiled knowingly.

However, just as everyone was looking forward to their destination, there was a sudden noise of footsteps and shouts on the deck of the ship.

"It's here! We're here! New World ~~~"

"Oh~~~ What did I see? What a majestic statue of the goddess~! ”

"Do you smell it? It's the breath of freedom, it's the smell of gold! ”

Many passengers flocked to the deck and began to cheer in the direction of the harbor, which was already visible in the distance.

Several people in C13 were also attracted by this shout, and they rushed out of the cabin one by one.

Zhou Yu is very calm, he has been to New York no less than ten times before, and there is nothing new about it.

However, when Zhou Yu followed everyone and walked onto the deck, he found that New York at this time and the New York in his impression were two cities at all.

In other words, although New York is extremely backward compared to later generations, the high-spirited atmosphere in the air is like substance.

In the distance, the Statue of Liberty holding a torch stood above the sea, and Liu Banxian excitedly folded his hands and babbled in his mouth.

"Bodhisattva bless...... Guanyin apparition...... Land auspicious ......"

"What are you talking about, fortune teller?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

Liu Banxian raised one eyelid and nudged the Statue of Liberty with his mouth.

"Worship the local Bodhisattva, as the saying goes, it is not strange to worship many people, and the same is true for the gods, you should follow me and worship together."

“......”

Looking at the people who were chattering with pious faces, Zhou Yu was speechless for a while, it was the first time he had seen someone worship the Statue of Liberty.

"Alright, go back to the cabin and get ready, grab your luggage and get ready to get off the ship."

"Okay~"

Everyone returned to the cabin and got dressed, put on uniform newsboy hats, carried or carried their luggage with them.

Only a dozen of them came this time, and only a part of the gold bars they had exchanged before were taken, and the follow-up ones would be shipped here in batches.

In the harbor, all kinds of steamboats, sailing ships, and fishing boats shuttle back and forth, which seems to be extremely busy.

"Look over there!"

After Liu Banxian finished worshipping the Statue of Liberty, he seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he pointed to the distance and shouted loudly.

"Wow...... His grandmother's, is that what Mr. Zhou said is a skyscraper? It's too high...... Will you meet the gods directly? ”

Mu Dezhu looked into the distance with a demented expression, and Zhou Yu followed their line of sight and saw the towering skyscraper--- Woolworth Building.

"Hoo ......"

Zhou Yu exhaled and took a deep breath, not to mention, the air quality in New York at this time is really good, and they don't have to breathe in the smog of London anymore.

The cruise ship slowly approached, the sailors dropped anchor to lay the pavement, and the passengers on board rushed to the dock.

There is an expression on everyone's face, which is yearning, longing, and expectation.

Towering buildings, horse-drawn carriages, cars and trams scurrying through the streets.

It seems that every street is crowded with people, like sardines waiting to be filled into cans.

The buildings on both sides of the road are covered with various advertising posters, and there is even a blonde girl wearing only a bathing suit.

"Shameless!"

Hong Ah Ghost took a sip in a low voice, but Mu Dezhu and Hu Rentian watched it with relish.

"Mr. Zhou, you are really right, here and London are simply two worlds! There are more people here, and most of them have smiles on their faces, and their clothes are more colorful and vibrant! ”

Shen Weicai's family used to be an official of the Qing Dynasty, and it slowly fell into disbelief in his father's generation, but his vision was still higher than that of ordinary people.

"Weicai, you are right, the residents of London have just ended an unusually hellish war, so naturally they can't laugh, but the federal government of the New World has made a lot of money in this war, and they can wake up laughing when they sleep."

Everyone lined up to get off the boat with their luggage, and as soon as they stepped on the land of the New World, they were attracted by the sound of quarrels not far away.

"Go away! No photography is allowed here! Smash your camera again! ”

"Don't touch me, let go! Why aren't you allowed to take pictures? I am an American citizen and I have the right to take pictures anywhere! ”

"Stinky watch, get out of here!"

"Ah~"

Not far away, in the unloading area of the wharf, a woman wearing a beige coat and hiding her long honey hair in a soft hat was being pushed by three or five burly men.

Zhou Yu has outstanding eyesight, and he can see the clues over there with just a slight glance.

The big man who was unloading there had weapons hidden in his waist, and the sea breeze blowing from there still carried a faint smell of alcohol.

"Smuggling alcohol? When I first arrived, I met my peers......"

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to help her?"

Xiaodong walked up to Zhou Yu and asked softly.

"We have so much gold on us, don't make any extraneous branches, that girl won't suffer, get out of here first."

Are you kidding to meddle in a strange place? They also had gold bars and guns on them, and if they were discovered by the local police, it would be difficult to explain, so it would be better to avoid some trouble.
