Ye Zhen and the others entered the port after disembarking. This should be the border of this country, but because of the proximity to the sea, the port was established. I don't know how big this country will be, maybe it is another continent.
"Father, don't you think this place looks like... Jinkou City?" Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing.
"It's really similar." Ye Yiqing nodded. Although the scale of this place is not as large as Jinkou City, and it doesn't have the majesty and majesty of Kyoto, it has a unique urban charm, which is set off by scattered and modern houses. Among the verdant greenery of bauhinia trees and banyan trees, the port under the sun is filled with the atmosphere of the ocean, which is exotic. The harbor is full of sails and masts, and countless merchant ships are moored, which looks very lively.
Ye Zhen said, "Father, it seems to be a trading firm over there, let's go and have a look."
Really curious how big this country is and who actually built this port? Ye Zhen recalled that Qi Ruoshui insisted on thinking that the Huangfu family had the power to hide. At that time, Huangfu Chen had already vetoed it, but now seeing this scene, she thought of the Huangfu Dynasty for some reason.
"Look for an inn to stay at first." Ye Yiqing said, they walked along the way, although they met many people with different skin types, but in general there were more Han Chinese. If I guessed correctly, these people should have immigrated here To build a country.
"I'm more curious, who will be the emperor here." Zhaoyang said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and Qi Ruoshui's words came back to her mind. This place is too similar to what Qi Ruoshui mentioned, but she hasn't figured out the truth yet, so she dare not make a conclusion.
"Let's find the inn to settle down first, and then we'll go to the trading house to have a look." Ye Zhen said.
They found a nice-looking inn nearby, and it happened that someone was checking out, so they only had two rooms to stay in, otherwise they would have to find another place to live.
Ye Zhen has to breastfeed the two children and change their diapers, it will take quite a while after all this work.
Ye Yiqing took advantage of this time to inquire about the news below the inn.
This country is not the country of Rover. The small island country and Feiquan Mountain that used to be called the country of Rover have disappeared. Now the country is called Hua country. There are fifty-one cities in their country, and Nanzhou is just one of their ports.
Their emperor's surname is Qi, and his name is Qi Yu. He is the second king of their country. Not only is he young and handsome, he is also deeply loved by the people of Hua Kingdom. Their country is also becoming more and more prosperous under his leadership.
China? Qi Yu
Ye Yiqing is interested in these two names, it seems that this country is more interesting than he imagined.
"Second uncle, do you think there is something wrong with Huaguo?" Ye Chundong asked Ye Yiqing in a low voice.
"It's not a problem." Ye Yiqing shook his head, "If there is a chance, I really want to meet this Qi Yu."
Ye Zhen happened to walk down with Ming Xi in her arms, and when she heard Ye Yiqing's words, she asked suspiciously, "Who is Qi Yu?"
"The emperor of Huaguo." Ye Chundong replied, "We just inquired from the innkeeper that most of the people here are Han."
Ye Zhen was surprised, "This is the country of Hua? The emperor's name is Qi Yu?"
Ye Yiqing looked at her with a smile, "Do you think it's familiar?"
"I thought this should be Jingguo." Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled, it seemed that there were shadows of Jinguo everywhere, and Jinguo actually inherited many things from Jingguo.
"There is Thirteenth Street over there, and they are all trading shops. If we want to trade goods with them, we have to find a trading house." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Zhen nodded, she had long wanted to take a look at the shops here.
"Father, this country..." Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, "Do you think it has anything to do with the Huangfu Dynasty?"
It doesn't necessarily have something to do with the Huangfu Dynasty, but it definitely has something to do with Qi Yanling.
"When the Huangfu royal family took the initiative to abdicate, this country already existed. Qi Yanling must have passed through here when she went to sea. Maybe she just wanted to leave a place for her descendants." Ye Yiqing said, "Of course, this is just a guess. Whether that is the case or not is unknown.”
When they came to Thirteenth Street, they realized that it was more lively than they had imagined. Apart from the main street, there were thirteen other streets that led directly to Port Avenue. coming businessman.
"Father, they also have silk tea here." Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, there is no difference between this place and Jinkou City.
The trading houses here seem to be more standardized, but the items are still not as many as those in Jinkou City. However, to have such a port trade on the sea, it is simply a miracle for Ye Zhen and the others.
"What are those people watching?" Zhaoyang pointed to the crowd forming a circle not far away, as if something happened.
Ye Zhen withdrew her eyes from the commodities, and followed Zhaoyang's fingers to look forward. Sure enough, there was another group of people shouting something at the cross street. Hearing the faint voice, it seemed that they were selling something. .
"Is it selling something?" Ye Zhen said, not interested in going over.
The shopkeeper of the firm happened to hear Ye Zhen's words and knew that they were merchants from other places, so he smiled and said, "We have an auction every ninth day of the lunar new year. Today is the ninth day of the first day, and the auction has just started."
"With so many firms, do you still need an auction?" Ye Yiqing asked calmly.
"Anything can be sold at the auction, but trading houses cannot sell slaves." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Ye Yiqing frowned, "Slave?"
"That's right, this is the first auction for someone, and everyone is rushing to watch the excitement." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
It was the first time Ye Zhen heard that anyone could be auctioned off, she turned to look at Ye Yiqing, "Father, let's go and have a look."
"Auctioneer? Are you a slave?" Ye Yiqing asked with a frown.
The shopkeeper said, "This is the first time we've heard of it. It seems that they offended the Shui family and even the boat was detained. Now I'm afraid they will be sold by the Shui family as slaves."
"Can you arrest the boat casually?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
"No one wants to offend the Shui family." The shopkeeper seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and said vaguely, then turned around and hurriedly did not intend to continue.
"Father, let's go and have a look." Ye Zhen wanted to go and see what the auction was like here, and they were able to seize the boats of foreign merchants, so wouldn't this Shui family be more prestigious than their emperor.
"Yeah." Ye Yiqing thought that after learning about Huaguo, it should be an advanced and close to modern management mode. Hearing that someone was auctioning off slaves at the auction, it didn't fit the atmosphere of this country.
