Chapter 12 Beautiful Man (2)

New Pier is the only place where foreigners can live for a long time after coming to Ming Dynasty.

Since the Lantian Dynasty really started the sea trade business, this place has quickly changed from a desolate harbor to a residential area built of wooden boards.

People here enter Guangzhou City at dawn every day to conduct various transactions or work. When it gets dark, they must return to the new dock to live. No matter who they are, they are not allowed to stay in Guangzhou City.

This applies to foreigners of any status.

Of course, there will always be some leeway in the implementation of the law. As for who will be exempted, it depends on the arrangements of the Guangzhou Shipping Department.

Blonde Europeans, thin and hard-working Japanese people, fleeing Korean nobles, dark-skinned South Asians, and tightly packed Arabs all occupied a place to live in the new dock.

Their residential areas are clearly divided, and they live in groups. However, the area here is very small, and any minor conflicts will turn into an uncontrollable melee.

When Howard took Simon back to the new dock, a fierce fight had just occurred here. The two parties in the fight were Korean nobles and Arabs.

The two families lived very close to each other, and the Koreans seemed to have a natural sense of superiority towards these Arabs, so the fights between the two sides never stopped.

The result of this fight was obvious: the North Koreans won.

There were seven or eight Arab corpses lying on the ground. They were all killed by arrows.

Koreans are the only race allowed to carry weapons such as bows and crossbows in the new dock.

Although before the Koreans entered the new dock, the Guangzhou Shipping Department made it very clear that they were allowed to carry crossbows mainly to protect their safety, and they were not allowed to use crossbows in fights. .

However, who will actually supervise the implementation of this regulation in the new terminal?

The Ming Dynasty seemed to treat Koreans particularly favorably.

Especially the nobles among the Koreans.

These people can write and speak the language of the Ming Dynasty. This is the main reason why they have a sense of superiority.

This is also the reason why they take advantage of it.

The best jobs are basically occupied by North Koreans. Most of the things Europeans can do are technical jobs that North Koreans cannot do. The remaining hard work belongs to other races. .

Seeing this, Howard believed that his top priority was to learn to speak the Ming Dynasty.

Only through verbal communication can he let the people of Ming Dynasty see his strengths and advantages.

When a Ming Dynasty Qingyi official inspected the new dock, Howard's focus was not on what these people said. Anyway, he couldn't understand what they said, and neither did the Koreans who could understand the Ming Dynasty language. There will be no interpretation for them.

Howard paid attention to the clothes of these people.!

He found that among a large group of people, there was only one person who was qualified to wear that soft blue robe, and the man in the green robe was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

So, in the Ming Dynasty, blue robes should not be worn by everyone.

As for the trend, Howard thinks he can keep up with it. When he was in London, he relied on this thing to make a living.

He believed that there would be nothing wrong with dressing like the people of Ming Dynasty first.

There are many skilled craftsmen on the new wharf, especially Korean tailors. I heard that the Ming Dynasty clothes they made sell well in Guangzhou.

With Simon's help, Howard got two sets of blue shirts often worn by scholars in the Ming Dynasty. However, these two sets of green shirts were different from the nice-looking azure clothes worn by officials. Bluish.

Howard tried on these two sets of clothes no less than ten times and changed them so many times. Finally, when North Korea's tailoring was about to completely break out, Simon paid the money and stopped changing the clothes.

When Howard put on these two sets of green shirts with a slight European style, and then tied his hair into a bun and inserted a hairpin, Howard looked at the seemingly unfamiliar and strange man in the mirror. Some familiar Westerners said to Simon: "There are some beauties that are common."

Simon looked blankly at Howard who had changed his appearance and said: "Your style is still unmatched, but, Are you really going to go over the wall to have a tryst with that beautiful North Korean woman tonight?"

Howard smiled: "Simon, you should understand, although I don't know why the North Korean woman wears revealing clothes? The clothes, and her breasts are not good enough to be admired by everyone (no nonsense, this is what Korean women wore in the late Ming Dynasty)

But, he can talk about the Ming Dynasty. I need her to teach me the Ming Dynasty, and I also hope that through her I can get in touch with a Ming Dynasty person who can really change our destiny."

Simon said with a smile: "This is why you changed your clothes ten times. Why? I don’t understand. You don’t understand what she says, and she doesn’t understand what you say. How did you get a date with her?”

Howard looked at Simon Jing. She said quietly: "Some words don't need to be said, and some things don't need to be said. Women in the world are actually the same."

When the light blue moon rises from the sea, the islands in the distance It becomes a bit like a giant whale in the sea... The waves appear from the sea, and finally turn white waves and wash the beach over and over again.

There are many mosquitoes in the coconut forest, but it does not hinder the two passionate men and women. Their enthusiasm is like waves, wave after wave...

"You killed I..."

"You killed me..."

"Yes, that's it..."

"Yes, that's it ..."

"You will come again tomorrow..."

"You will come again tomorrow...”

A long time ago, Howard once heard a philosopher say that reproduction is human instinct, and it is the foundation of human life. The most intense time of life is precisely the time to reproduce life.

Because human reproduction is intermittent and can be delayed for a long time. The strong Howard had enough time and energy to carry out his own study plan.

Howard dated the Korean woman for half a year...

On a sunny morning, the woman fell in love with him. The tribesmen put him into a bamboo cage and dragged him on the beach.

Howard looked sadly at the woman with a swollen belly. The woman also looked at him infatuatedly when she saw Howard. Howard drew his rapier and rushed down the beach fiercely. He only ran two steps before he was thrown to the ground by his loyal servant Simon. Then more Europeans appeared and dragged Howard back. < /p>

The woman cried, and the cold-looking Koreans dragged the bamboo cage into the sea without mercy...

The sea drowned the woman, and also drowned the woman's miserable cry.

Simon stretched his neck and watched the sea swallow up the bamboo cage. After the Koreans also left the beach, they said to Howard, who was sitting behind him and chewing tobacco: "What happened?" it's over. "

Howard sighed and said: "I really wanted to save her just now, you shouldn't stop me. "

Simon said: "She is pregnant with your child. "

Howard said: "I actually have many children. ”

Simon added: “You can’t find another Korean woman to teach you how to speak Ming Dynasty dialect.” "

Howard smiled and said: "I have already spoken a lot of great things, now it's time to put them into practice. ”

Simon frowned and said: “You are talking about the Ming people in Guangzhou. The words they speak are obviously different from the Ming dialect you learned.

Howard looked at the coconut grove not far away and sighed: "In that coconut grove, that woman taught me some Chinese characters. We sat face to face on the beach, and she held my hand." Hands, teach me stroke by stroke, she is a very good woman. ”

“It’s all about money, isn’t it? "

Howard smiled: "Yes, this is our ultimate goal. "

"The Ming people in Guangzhou look down on you, and they don't even want to talk to you.

Howard raised his hand and tugged Simon's beard and said: "I know many Korean women. One woman even taught me to read the Book of Songs. I think the most beautiful poem in it is - My Fair Lady, A gentleman is a good man. "

Simon said: "Why don't you look for a Ming Dynasty woman in Guangzhou? You are so handsome and strong, they will fall in love with you. "

Howard looked at Simon and said: "As far as I know, Ming DynastyPeople behave differently from Koreans. If I get a Ming woman pregnant, her family will kill me instead of killing their daughter like the Koreans do.

Okay, I won’t tell you anymore, the beautiful Jiang is dead, I’m going to miss her in the coconut grove...”

The most trivial thing for Lai Qingbo is to die.

Because of his mistake, he was assigned to the new dock by the shipping department.

He hated the new dock. It seemed to exude a rancid smell at any time.

Looking at the shacks erected in the sea, and watching the children whose shapes were unclear jumping naked from the plank road into the sea, the look of boredom in his eyes became even stronger.

If he hadn't been looking forward to returning to Shibosi one day, Lai Qingbo would not have stayed in this place for a second anyway.

He was surrounded by Koreans, and there were people not far away. There were more Japanese people waiting for him.

Some strong Europeans kept saying hello to him, hoping to attract his attention so that they could find a better job.

The Koreans' country was occupied by the Jianzhou people, and they had to flee that place by boat. The rest of the people, including Europeans and Japanese, took the risk and came to Guangzhou because they could no longer survive on their own land. < /p>

Although life here is very unsatisfactory, no matter who is willing to work, they can have enough to eat.

This is related to a law of the Ming Dynasty - —Everyone has the right to eat!

In the Ming Dynasty, even if it is robbery, if you only take food without harming others, and you happen to have no food, then even if it is robbery, The government caught him, and the sentence was very light. The most he could do was hard labor.

The Korean raised his leg and kicked over an Arab who was blocking Lai Qingbo's way. Lai Qingbo waved irritably to let these noisy Koreans leave. At this moment, he just wanted to find a quiet place for a while.

The coconut grove was the quietest place. Except for some small crabs crawling around here, there was basically no one to bother him. Him.

The sand here is very clean, but there is a person.

When Lai Qingbo was about to scold this person and let him leave, he found some words on the sand - Guan. Guan Jujiu is in Hezhizhou. The gentle lady likes to wander around, and she is coveted...

He thought she was a Korean, waiting for him to leave. When I got there, I realized that the person writing was actually a blond European.

He was wearing a very well-fitting turban. His facial features were different from those of the Ming Dynasty people. Feeling.

Looking at his warm smile, Lai Qingbo was about to speak, but found that the European clasped his fists and said: "I heard the sage say, what is China? The beauty of uniforms is China, and the greatness of etiquette is China. .

Now that I wear Chinese clothes and respect Chinese etiquette, sir, can you treat me as a Ming Dynasty person? ”

Lai QingBo sneered and said: "Change your skin and reincarnate again, maybe you will become my Chinese."

Howard laughed after hearing this, and then handed over his hand again and said: "I There are three strategies, the best strategy can make your husband prosperous, the middle strategy can make you rich, and the worst strategy can make you the real owner of the new dock.

I don’t know which strategy you want.”

Lai Qingbo chuckled and said: "It happens to be boring. Please tell me in detail. If it makes sense, I won't treat you badly."
