By the end of October, more and more autumn grains were on the market.

If it were in the past, many gentry or local rich people would take the opportunity to suppress the price of rice and buy food from the people at a low price. But the situation this year is very different, and the price of rice is still at a price of seven cents per stone.

No one expected that the rice conveying line of "Siam-Guangdong-Other Province" would be formed, causing Guangdong to become a transit station for rice, which would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the grain pressure in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Leizhou Bu.

With the opening of the "Leizhou-Siam" route, the demand for Leizhou Bu has increased rapidly, and a large number of Leizhou Bus have been sold to Annan, Chameng and Siam.

In addition, many Guangdong merchant ships seemed even more active, selling Leizhoubu from the Eastern Line to Luzon and spreading it to Java, Sumatra and other regions, thereby seizing huge trade profits.

The same is true. Leizhou City seems even busier. Merchant ships of all sizes are constantly entering and leaving Leizhou Bay, and Leizhou Wharf resolutely became the most important foreign trade window for the Ming Dynasty.

Time quietly entered November and the weather gradually became colder.

The captain of the ship responsible for patrolling Leizhou Bay was Jiuyan. He was promoted to deputy Qianhu for his military achievements in destroying the Red Flag Gang. At this time, he led his troops to drive the warship here to guard the warship, but suddenly saw a large caravan coming.

.

There is only a very obvious difference between the Ming Dynasty ships and European ships. There are big differences in both shape and body shape. When this fleet appeared, Jiuyan was guessed that it was the Folangji Caravan.

Although I knew that these Flangji people were ambitious, Lin Weiran had already explained that as long as the Flangji caravan was honestly engaged in trading, they would be welcomed.

On the big black ship at the forefront, there were several gorgeously dressed Portuguese men standing resolutely.

"Dad, is this the Ming Dynasty?"

A Portuguese girl named Ruth is wearing a beautiful dress and blue eyes. She is tall and graceful, with a premature appearance on her chest, looking cheerful and active.

“Yes, this is an emerging port city!”

A middle-aged man dressed in Portuguese aristocrat nodded gently, looking at the pier and the moored ships in a complicated way, but he felt a plausible feeling.

Mr. Simon was a declining nobleman in Portugal, but after years of navigation and trade, he quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth, causing his family to squeeze into the upper class again and become one of the prominent nobles in Portugal.

This time I came to the East to hunt for gold again. After nearly a year, I came to this desolate bay in the past, but it completely changed. The pier here is showing a prosperous scene.

"Are you Simon's business group?"

Not long after entering the bay, a warship came over and asked.

"Yes, I am your Lord Lin's good friend!"

Simon knew that this country had a very strict hierarchy, and his good relationship with Lin Junran was the most powerful amulet, and immediately responded to his family.

Sure enough, after hearing his answer, the general wearing armor had a very gentle attitude. After saying the word "please", he ordered the warship to sail elsewhere.

Simon noticed that the hull was not only large in size, but also had many turrets, which made him feel a threat. Obviously, this place not only became prosperous, but also had strong combat capabilities.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but think that Hao Jing was strongly taken back by the Ming Dynasty, and this decadent country seemed to have become different.

"Dad, it's so lively here!"

Ruth was only sixteen years old and was looking towards the dock with her pole. She saw the moored merchant ships and workers loading and unloading goods, and even the fish market that was trading there.

Compared with other places, the Daming of this era really has the capital of pride, especially the cruise ship with painted beams and carved buildings seems to be a work of art.

The dock has an official organization. When we learned that Simon's caravan was coming, we took it very seriously.

Mr. Shen Liu and Yang Chunlai happened to be in the dock. After learning that Mr. Simon was coming, he asked someone to go back to inform Lin Weiran, and warmly welcomed the big customer.

"Master Shen Liu, I'm upset!"

Mr. Simon is a Chinese master and bowed to Mr. Shen Liu.

"I'm upset!"

The girl Ruth also followed her father's example and bowed in not very standard Chinese.

"please!"

Mr. Shen Liu was also surprised by this Portuguese girl, and enthusiastically invited the father and daughter to board the luxurious carriage and prepare to take them back to Leizhou City.

The carriage is very luxurious, with good carpets and exquisite patterns painted in the carriage.

Because his father was engaged in ocean-going trade, Ruth has been influenced by Eastern culture since she was a child and has always been yearning for the Ming Dynasty. Now when she sees the carriage of artworks, she also looks around, and then she pulls the curtain to look outside.

Zhenyang Avenue is very lively, with constant traffic and pedestrians coming and going, and many buildings have been built on both sides of the avenue. Especially some two-story buildings, which are somewhat similar to the castle.

The Portuguese girl's mouth was slightly open, her eyes widened, and she was half kneeling in front of the carriage window, staring at everything on the roadside in a daze.

When the carriage entered Leizhou City, it was just the hour of You. A large group of female workers from Lianmaifang walked out of the factory door, causing the convoy to slow down, and they also saw the heroic posture of these female workers.

The female workers in the United Workshop are all high-income workers, wearing beautiful clothes, and many women who love beauty dress themselves up with rouge, all of them appear energetic and present the beautiful scenery of the industrial era.

"Oh, sell--cake!"

Ruth reached out to cover her mouth and shouted in disbelief.

Even though she was born into a noble family, when she saw the scene in front of her, although no female worker dressed as her and did not have too many accessories on her body, the number was really amazing.

Simon felt mixed feelings when he saw this scene. If this continues, this powerful empire will inevitably awaken and even follow their European countries to compete for the position of maritime overlords.

The convoy passed through the middle east street of the town, turned into Guangchao North Street at the center of the street, and went directly to the Union Restaurant.

At this moment, Lin Weiran, wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, did not show any official airs, but personally led a large group of people to stand at the entrance of the restaurant and warmly welcomed the distinguished guests from afar.

After more than ten months, the two met.

Simon got off the carriage and saw Lin Weiran. He keenly discovered that the official uniforms on this magical young man were a little different, and the temperament of the people behind him also changed greatly.

Huh?
