Chapter 105 is a bit crazy(1/2)

  Yemen, a subject of Dashi.
The Kingdom of Yemen is also known as the Saba Dynasty. Although it is ruled by the current King of Yemen, Upper Sana'a, it is also dependent on the rule of the Black-clad Dashi.
The Port of Adens, located along the coast of southwest Yemen, is one of the important ports for the maritime fleets of Western countries to station in Yemen for trade.
 The second day of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Tailong's reign.
On this day, thousands of sails passed by and thousands of ships gathered at the port of Adens. Westerners wearing various clothes, skin colors, and appearances carried their own goods and took small boats in an endless flow between the ships and the port of Adens.
Merchants from all over the world are trading goods freely in the market in the port, and the melodious and melodious sound of horns echoes inside and outside the port in an instant.
 This caused the merchants from various countries traveling to and from the port of Adens to subconsciously look towards the coastline in the southeast direction of the port.
After a brief period of astonishment, some businessmen suddenly became happy and leaned towards the blue ocean with a strong sense of expectation in their eyes, as if their biological parents had arrived.
The melodious horn sounds continued one after another for about half a stick of incense before they stopped. Under the expectant gazes of some businessmen, flags gradually appeared on the coastline, dancing and fluttering in the sea breeze.
Then, one after another, the ships like islands gradually revealed half of their hulls. In about the time of a stick of incense, the ships like moving islands were fully exposed, and slowly docked a few miles away from the port of Adens.
above the sea level.
  Huge anchors splashed into the sea water one after another.
Looking at the dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the tall mast, 70% of the businessmen from various countries standing at the port immediately danced and high-fived each other in celebration.
 “God bless, it’s really the dragon’s treasure ship that’s coming!”
“It’s really Dalong’s treasure ship that has returned, it’s Dalong’s treasure ship!”
“It’s over, all the gold coins I finally earned are going to be used up again, but I can buy those dragon porcelain and treasures, and I really hate God for not letting me have more treasures.”
"Hurry, go and report to the city lord and inform His Majesty the King that the dragon's treasure ship has returned."
“Friends, let’s stop arguing. I won’t negotiate the price of these spices. If you say thirty gold coins, it’s thirty gold coins.”
“No, no, my dear friend, they are worth forty gold pieces now.”
“You are too treacherous, my friend, you are not honest at all, Buddha will punish you!”
“Friends, who are they? Why are you so happy? God, are those on the sea ships? How can they be as big as islands?
No, no, no, it’s even bigger than an island!”
 “What? You don’t even know about the dragon’s fleet?”
“This is the first time I came to the port of Adens in Yemen for trade with my uncle, and I have never heard of the dragon’s fleet.
 What the hell are they talking about?”
 “Oh God, I hope Allah protects you from losing your mind after seeing the dragon’s cargo.”
 Amidst the noisy conversations at the port, small boats slowly left the big treasure ship, carrying tens of thousands of wooden boxes and sailed towards the port.
An Gouer straightened the official hat on his head, straightened his clothes, took his wife Luya's hand and boarded the ship belonging to the fleet's chief officer and sailed to the port.
Luya looked happily and nestled on An Gouer's shoulder: "Husband, after a year and a half, we have finally returned to Yemen. In a few months, we can enter the Aegean Sea.
 Then we can return to the Great Dragon Capital and meet our daughter Dai'er, Luya misses her so much!"
An Gouer smiled lightly and patted Luya on the shoulder: "Yes, I can return to the voyage to see my daughter soon. I hope this trade in Yemen will not disappoint my husband, and I can bring back a lot of treasures to my elder brother."
 “Welcome the envoy of the Great Dragon Kingdom!”
 “Welcome the envoy of the Great Dragon Kingdom!”
 “Welcome the envoy of the Great Dragon Kingdom!”
 Some Western businessmen at the port who knew about the Dragon Fleet saw An Gouer and immediately bowed with various etiquettes and spoke in broken Chinese.
An Gouer smiled lightly and hugged his fist: "My envoy has met all the Western friends. Thank you for your welcome. You can buy any goods you want."
 “Oh! May Allah bless you!”
An Gou'er took Luya's arm and jumped out of the boat. He looked at the businessman in front of him and shook his head with a smile.
“Friend, what your Dragon said is right, and it seems that he has put in a lot of effort, but our country’s envoys do not believe in God, and it is our Emperor Dragon who protects us.”
 “This...this is such a pity!”
An Gouer raised his hand and pointed at the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Fleet who were carrying boxes towards the port, and shook his head with a half-smile: "Friend, you won't feel sorry when you see the contents of the boxes.
If you don’t go there, you will see something more regrettable than the disbelief in God in your own country.”
The expressions of the Westerners beside An Gouer changed, and they bowed to An Gouer and his wife angrily, and they couldn't wait to run towards Dalong's soldiers carrying the goods.
“Husband, looking at that man’s clothes, he seems to be a businessman from Sumatra!”
An Gouer smiled nonchalantly: "Whatever, my husband has no interest in knowing his identity.
 Let’s go to the market and see if there’s anything you like, so I can buy it for you!”
 “Yeah, yeah, my husband is the best!”
The deputy chief officer of the fleet, Tan Qinghai, who had eaten a lot of dog food, looked at the couple's retreating backs with resentment, and waved to the generals Guo Yang and others around him.
“Let’s go and buy some jewelry or something for our mother-in-law to take back. Aren’t we just women? She’s like no one else!”
“The deputy general is right. Isn’t it the lady? Who doesn’t think so? There will be three of them in the end!”
 “That’s right, who doesn’t have it?”
Next to the generals, a sixty-seven-year-old young deputy general looked at Tan Qinghai and the others pitifully: "Deputy General, General Guo, generals, I...I don't have a wife!"
 “Where’s Xiao Yuan! You’re still young, don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry!”
“Deputy Commander, there seems to be a place like Goulanyuan or a brothel in Yemen.
Now that we’ve finished our business, why don’t we take Xiao Yuan to have a taste of Western women in the evening?
Not allowed to *** women, the woman in the Gourai Academy gives money, it is not a violation of the will of His Majesty! "
 “I...I won’t go!”
 “Hey, you are so pretentious!”
“Let’s get down to business first. When it gets dark, I’ll go check out the commander-in-chief’s tone.”
"yes!"
 “Alright, everyone, listen to your orders!”
 “We’re here!”
“Each one is in charge of one department and closely supervises the transactions between the brothers in each department and the merchants accompanying the ships and the Westerners.
These Westerners are cunning in doing business, and we must not let our own people suffer."
 “We take the order!”
An Gouer looked at Luya holding a string of shell jewelry and couldn't put it down, and she tugged her ears with a black line.
“Luya, let’s not talk about it. There are so many precious gold and silver jewelry in the cabin. If you don’t like it, why do you like these shells?
 What’s so good about it?”
Luya looked at An Gouer's puzzled expression angrily, and tried the shell jewelry on her neck: "Bad husband, you are so stupid.
How many times has Luya told you that in our country, shells represent eternal love.
You give Luya shells, which means that you will always love Luya.
 Gold, silver and jewelry are indeed precious, but Luya likes your husband’s love for Luya even more!
Just tell me whether you want to buy it or not! If you don’t buy it, Luya will be angry.”
 “Buy, buy, buy, can’t I just buy it?”
 “Then put it on for me.”
An Gouer, who had always had a cold face, showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face. He took the shell jewelry, looked around, and slowly put it on Luya's neck.
"looks good?"
"pretty!"
“Boss, how much does your jewelry cost?”
Looking at the confused-looking Yemeni businessman in front of the stall, An Gouer rummaged through his sleeves for a while, but couldn't find a single gold coin. He had to take out a gold ingot and threw it directly into a pile of jewelry that he didn't like.
To be continued...
