After Maxing out all Classes - Chapter 931
[Chapter 929 Xiangshan Port]
The small fishing villages in the East are very different from the Western architectural styles. Westerners like to build houses with stones, and they like to build houses with shuttles and horns to show geometric beauty, but Easterners are not like this. They use wood and thatch. Come to build a house, the style of the house is very complex, showing a simple feeling.
Robb stopped fishing, and was lying on the side of the boat, looking at a small fishing village on the shore, his eyes reluctant to leave.
The two little girls were very curious and couldn’t help but come up and ask, “Godfather, what’s the matter with you?”
Robb smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I just saw these houses and thought they were beautiful, so I looked at them more.
” It’s easy. In fact, his heart is full of emotion. It has been eight years since he came to this world. He has experienced three times in the year of flying the black dragon. Without his home, the only one who can find the feeling of home is this country full of rabbits. Seeing the architectural style of the ancient town of Ciqikou in Shuangqing City on the shore, how can you not be overwhelmed with emotion.
“I’m going to open up an area in Shuangqing City and build all the houses of this style.” Robb said, “The name of this area is called Rabbit Street.” The
two little girls laughed hilariously: “That’s fine too. ”
Of course.” Robb said: “No matter how fierce the war was and how much hatred for each other, all the races in this world will eventually become a village, and the nation and culture will be greatly integrated. This is inevitable. As a rule, it is not surprising that there is a Dongfang Street in a western city, and it is not surprising that there is a foreigner street in an eastern city.”
After chatting and chatting, the small village passed, and the fleet continued northward, and they did not know how to sail. How long ago, a natural harbor appeared by the sea. The scale of the harbor was not very large, the houses were low, and the town was dilapidated. However, there were many ships parked in the harbor, and there were actually Western sailboats.
The two captains came to Robo and reported: “Godfather, this is a small seaport city on the southeast coast of Dongtu Datang. The name is Xiangshan Port, which is smaller than Boning Port, but it is also regarded as Dongtu Datang. The second largest port, there are many caravans from the Gran Kingdom and the Norma Kingdom, and it is the place where we Westerners gather the most in the East Rabbit Datang.”
Robb thought: This is roughly equivalent to Hong Kong in the original world.
He asked curiously, “This is only the second largest? Boning Port is more powerful than here?” The
two captains nodded: “Boning Port is the most lively and prosperous port in East Rabbit Datang, and this Xiangshan Port is even worse. It’s very far away, almost all the ports here are supported by us Westerners, and the people of Dongtu Datang don’t pay much attention to this port.”
“So it is!”
In fact, Robb didn’t know, even in the big world of the original world. In the era of navigation, Hong Kong was quite backward at the beginning, far inferior to Ningbo. At that time, Ningbo was the most powerful and greatest port in the East. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a celebrity in the Warring States period of the island country, once thought that Ningbo was the best place in the world. He once dreamed of destroying the Ming Dynasty, and then moved the capital to Ningbo, but he was not able to succeed, and was beaten back to his hometown in Korea.
Robb pointed to Xiangshan Port in front of him and said with a smile: “I want to take a look at this harbour. We can stop here for a while and then continue to Boning Port.” The two
captains nodded: “Of course there is no problem.”
The person answered this first, and then whispered: “However, there is also a bad place here, this is the site of the 18th BU, and those Western businessmen who have paid protection fees are very safe here, but people like us are not. It would be a little more inconvenient to give face to the 18 bu… Of course, with you here, we don’t need to be afraid of them at all, just to prevent them from playing asshole.”
Robb smiled: “I understand, let the crew members All activities are within the range I can see, so I don’t need to be afraid of the 18th divination.” The
two captains gave orders, and the three galleons began to approach Xiangshan Port.
Before they landed, they saw several boats with the official dragon flag of Dongtu Datang blocking their way, and a few rabbit sailors wearing the clothes of Dongtu Datang officers and soldiers stood on the bow and shouted to the big boat: “Where are you from? The ship? Immediately declare the customs and pay the tax.”
Robb turned to the two captains: “There are officials from Dongtu Datang here?” The
two captains quickly introduced to Robo: “Although this place is not taken seriously by Dongtu Datang , but it is also a place under the jurisdiction of the government, and it has been paid more and more attention in recent years.”
It turned out that at this time, Xiangshan Port was only a small county in the establishment of Dongtu Datang, called Xiangshan County, the county magistrate. Originally, he was just a sesame official who managed a small town with more than 1,000 people in Tukou, and lived a very embarrassing life. However, he did not expect that a large Western ship would come here one day, and then, this small county town with a natural port, It was on fire all of a sudden.
Western ships came one by one, and this place became more and more prosperous. The county magistrate was very happy at first, because the tax revenue increased, but gradually it felt wrong. The hundreds of villagers in his hands , It seems that these foreigners can’t be suppressed. After the number of foreigners increased, they began to give the county magistrate no face, refused to accept his control, and even some people did not pay taxes and wanted to confront him.
More than a year ago, when a group of people from the Norma Kingdom saw that the county magistrate had no soldiers, they became complacent and built a fortress by the sea. Ling had only a few hundred militiamen in his hands, thinking that the county magistrate would have nothing to do with them.
The county magistrate was furious, and hurriedly reported to the Guangdong Admiral above, and then the Admiral sent 5,000 rabbit soldiers with a casual remark.
The foreigners were dumbfounded on the spot. How difficult was it to dispatch 5,000 soldiers on the Western side? This has to be done by mobilizing several knights. It is impossible without the king’s speech. How could anyone know that a random district chief in the East Rabbit Datang side will come so many orders.
Five thousand rabbit soldiers pressed the two hundred soldiers of the Norma country to the ground and rubbed them desperately, rubbing and rubbing, like the steps of the devil. Since then, the foreigners have been obedient, and they will no longer dare to mess around here. Everyone has to obediently obey the rabbit. County magistrates pay taxes.
After listening to the story of the two captains, the two little girls couldn’t help but rejoice: “Noma country can’t beat it, but we have Godfather, so we are not afraid of these rabbits. The last time we came to collect our money, Godfather despised them. I didn’t expect these rabbits to come again? They are endless. Godfather, shall we hit them again?”
Robb shook his head: “This time, we can’t hit it, it’s not the pirates who come to collect taxes this time, but the pirates. The officials of the East Rabbit Datang Kingdom, it is reasonable for them to charge us taxes, and we should declare and pay taxes seriously. This is not a question of whether I can fight or not, but a question of whether I respect others.”
