It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 187
Chai Lao is an ordinary miner.

Relying on the Luzon nobles, they hired them to mine for a living.

The gold mine where he worked is not far from the port of Manila.

I also heard about the Han people coming to Luzon for trade.

At first, he didn't take it seriously.

And because they are in Nanyang, the news is blocked, and ordinary people in Luzon don't have much feeling for the country of Dahan.

I just think that it is just a big foreign country.

But with the inflow of a large number of exquisite porcelain and gorgeous silk and satin.

As well as the story of the navy of the Han army going to the ocean to catch Kun.

Chai Lao and all the miners have learned about the strength of the big man.

At the same time, concerns about their own country also emerged as the times require.

The big man is so powerful, will he attack them?
Even some radical Luzon people are ready to fight the Han people.

With different cultures and language barriers, they will not accept the rule of the big man so easily like the Cochin people.

Fortunately, this radical sentiment gradually dissipated with the friendly trade of Han merchants.

There are also King Luoshe's confidant Prigo, and two thousand Luzon soldiers, who made friends with the big man.

Dahan should be a friendly country.

At this time, some ordinary Luzon people also began to have the idea of ​​​​trading with the big man.

Luzon is a self-sufficient economy, but not without money.

Those Luzon people who have mines at home, not only their own family, but also the workers under their hands, have made a lot of money.

After all, as long as you come into contact with a gold mine, it's like sneaking a few grains into your buttocks, and sometimes it's a way to sneak one or two.

Chai Lao has worked for people for 20 years, and was lucky to survive a mine collapse.

So I saved some gold.

But he still had no idea of ​​porcelain or silk.

These things are too expensive.

And once seen by others, it is easy to be suspicious.

So Chai Lao planned to buy some medicines from the Han people.

The Han people also sell Chinese herbal medicines, many of which are life-saving things, according to occasional aristocrats.

Chai Lao wants to buy some Chinese herbal medicines to keep in case of accidents.

If there is a chance in the future, if you see some important person who is seriously ill, you can still offer it diligently, maybe you will be regarded as the king of medicine, and you will reach the pinnacle of your life from then on.

It's those Han merchants who are really a bit inappropriate.

During the several months of staying in the Port of Manila, different versions of the drug were sold in several batches.

In the beginning, it was an immature semi-finished product.

Later, it was upgraded to a level and became a tail product.

Although the smell is a bit unpleasant and the appearance is a bit abstract, it can still cure diseases and save lives.

Then it smells nice again, but looks abstract.

Then, it smells good and looks good.

It is estimated that the efficacy of the medicine will be improved in the future.

Even produce compound drugs.

In fact, the efficacy of each generation is improved a little bit, but the price is extremely expensive.

But even so, those Luzon nobles, while secretly cursing, took out gold with smiles and tears.

Why?
Just relying on this Chinese herbal medicine, it is exclusive to Dahan.

Things that cure diseases and save lives, you just say whether you like it or not, right?
Porcelain, silk, and other goods.

Probably the same.

The first products were all crap.

There is no hard way, and it is still impossible to buy upgraded and iterative products.

As for you saying that Han merchants have a dark heart.

That person also has a reason.

The goods can’t be sold, where can I get the money to hire the boatmen, and the money to hire the big Han navy guards?
They are the children of a long-standing family, all of whom are knowledgeable and conscientious.

The boatmen on board need to eat well and wear well, and the escort sailors must serve well. Which one does not require money and food?
However, the nobles of Luzon are all taken advantage of.

Holding gold, frantically scraping together for the silk and porcelain that cost only a dozen or hundreds of renminbi.

The big man leaked some tea leaves from his nails, which were all fragrant.

Chai Lao's family background is not that rich.

We can only wait for a suitable version before starting.

But what followed was Luzon's official restrictions on trade and wanton monitoring of nobles.

Strictly limit the number of goods purchased from Dahan.

But it's not a problem for Mr. Chai.

There are policies and measures to counter.

These days, he has been sneaking around for a long time, and figured out the way of the Han people.

For example, because of the lack of recreational activities in Luzon, the Han people specially invested in and built Goulan tile houses.

Today's big Han emperor likes to sing.

He even earned a city with music and music.

It's also a good match.

It is said that the investor was the king of Jiaozhi Kingdom before.

The end is a high-end place.

But it doesn't restrict the entry and exit of ordinary people.

This time, Chai Lao sneaked into the sea near Manila Port with half his wealth.

There is an open space here.

In the middle is the Goulan tile house where Yingying and Yanyan lived.

The winding paths in the building are secluded, and Kun candles are lit.

The elegant aroma of rouge permeates everywhere.

Faintly, one can see a group of pretty women, they are exquisitely made up, wearing silk and satin, just like Yingying swallows, attracting many men who are looking for fun.

Chai Lao blushed a little, and looked a little embarrassed.

Through some features, he could vaguely recognize that those women were all local Luzon women.

It has never been discovered before that there are so many beautiful women.

The makeup of the Han people is really powerful.

Chai Lao's eyes wandered, trying to avoid eye contact with these graceful women.

In this gorgeous environment, he felt extra restrained.

Suddenly, he saw a burly man dressed as a Luzon military officer, and he entered the building under the hospitality of the woman's winking eyes.

Chai Lao immediately expressed his indignation.

Good guy, we pay taxes to King Roshe, and these soldiers actually use taxes to do this kind of thing? !

It has to be criticized.

Chai Lao immediately walked into the building, and after a while, under the fragrance of the kun candle, he was fascinated.

"My friend, do you want to cut the leather?"

Chai Lao, who was in a trance, was suddenly pulled back to the display by a deep voice.

I saw He Hong standing beside him sympathetically, pulling him into a corner, and then pulling up the skirt of his clothes slightly.

The whole person looks like a wolf waist and ape arms, with a slender figure and a very heroic figure.

Especially the eyes.

The desire in the eyes was hard to hide, almost as if he was going to swallow him up.

hiss.
Chai Lao blushed for no reason.

This Goulan Washeri actually has a male waiter? !

"Will the skin be cut?"

Seeing that Chai Lao was in a daze, He Hong pointed to the Kun skin on his body, and repeated it again.

Ok?
leather?

Chai Lao took a serious look, and it was true.

This person is wearing Kun leather clothes, is he here to bring goods?

He scratched his head and said:

"Aren't you hot in your clothes?"

Among the goods of the Han people, the sales volume of Kunpi is not very good.

The main reason is that the climate in Luzon is too hot.

There is almost no concept of four seasons throughout the year, and it is full of hot days.

In this kind of weather, you can come here as you dress coolly.

Kun skin can only be used for decoration and collection, and almost no one would buy it for wearing.

Especially ordinary Luzon people like Chai Lao.

There is no spare money at all to buy such useless things.

He Hong lowered his head again, and his voice became even more gloomy:

"The Son of Heaven granted Kun the title of Lord of Lu Song."

"If you have a kun skin at home."

"There will be a royal blessing."

What the hell.
I'm here to buy Chinese herbal medicine, who wants your useless kun skin?
Chai Lao was about to send He Hong away, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't move his eyes away from the kunskin clothes for some reason.

Lord of Luzon Mansion?

Kun? !

Chai Lao didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

It's just for no reason, I want to get close to Kunkun.

With his worth, naturally he can't even raise tigers and kuns like the Great Han Navy.

But he also wanted to eat Kun meat and put Kun Kun in his stomach.

Or wear kun skin clothes, and kun kun stickers.

what is the problem?

Could it be that Luzon is really protected by Kun? !

"Want to try?"

For some reason, He Hong took off the Kun fur coat in the blink of an eye.

"Try."

Chai Lao imagined the scene of the giant kun swimming in the sea, invincible.

Imagine that under the protection of Kunkun, the weather in Luzon will be smooth and the harvest will be bumper year after year.

It was like being possessed by a demon, and regardless of the heat, he picked up the Kun fur coat and put it on his body.

Unexpectedly, this second-hand kun leather coat was worn on the body, but it could never be taken off again.

It can always give people a unique touch.

It seems that the soft and delicate silk is perfectly blended with the tough and thick leather.

The soft and hard texture wraps the body just right, neither tight nor loose, like a girl kissing, fitting the skin.

Even Chai Lao tried it. Wearing the Kun leather jacket, whether he was walking, sitting or lying down, he could feel an extremely comfortable comfort in his heart.

Chai Lao also saw the Luzon officers and soldiers who entered the Goulan Washe earlier.

That officer, under the trick of the Han people, changed into a kun fur coat.

He is not as entangled as Chai Lao.

Wearing it on the body, feeling the strange feeling in my heart, I began to caress carefully, and picked out the Kun leather jacket that suits me.

Chai Lao swallowed his saliva.

I have completely put aside the idea of ​​buying Chinese herbal medicine.

Chinese herbal medicine can cure diseases and save lives, so why not Kunkun?

How many years of being free from illness and disaster, and being able to escape from the mining disaster, must be the predestined Kun leather clothing to protect him.

"My lord, what is the price of this Kun fur coat?"

Chai Lao couldn't hide the desire in his eyes at all, and asked He Hong urgently.

He was out of luck.

When I meet other people, I guess there are still two money left in my pocket, maybe I can still have a cup of tea and listen to music in this Goulan washhouse.

But in front of He Hong.

As long as you don't stoop to serving tea and singing songs to others in the Goulan washer, you will be considered successful.

He Hong snapped his fingers, this chai guy looked like a poor guy, he couldn't make much money.

But he has to squeeze out all the oil and water.

"A kun fur coat requires two ingots of gold."

These days, merchants are cheap.

Those descendants of the aristocratic families who went to sea with them were mostly not very successful guys in the clan.

The real hope of the clan will not stoop to do some businessman's business.

But even so, they also have their own pride.

In the past, they would never have done this kind of work like a street vendor in the Goulan washhouse, and they had to sneak around and buy and sell.

But in the hands of Luzon people, the golden gold is in front of them.

All profiteering.

Under the heavy profit, there is no face.

Today's boats, so to speak.

The pearl of the bright moon, the stone of the crow and falcon, the fragrance of Shennan Longsu, the strangeness of the lion and Kong Cui, the treasure of Meinaoweilu, and the beauty of the coral Yaokun, all come back full of ships.

Without exaggeration.

Going to sea is simply huge profits!

But in He Hong's opinion, he could still make some huge profits.

"If you think it's too expensive, you can exchange it with fifty catties of pepper."

"I need pepper, lots and lots of pepper."

"Ten catties of pepper can even be exchanged for a bolt of silk."

"But it's only for this month. You, King Luo She, have restrictions on our trade."

The calculation in He Hong's heart was ringing, and He Kun probably heard it in Qiongzhou.

Pepper, a spice, is even more lucrative than some Nanyang-specific jewels!
Peppers worth a penny can be sold for a penny when they return to the Central Plains.

Hundredfold benefit!

Liu Ke had a panoramic view of everything.

Although his current trade policy is to skip King Luoshe's surveillance of the nobles and take profits from the small people.

But I didn't expect that the attraction brought by [Free Trade] and [Qiji Kaifu] would be so great.

Luzon people who almost dared to come to Goulan Washeli to buy and sell secretly had to buy some kun meat and kun skin when they left.

Or, it was the Luzon people who were forced to sell themselves for Kunkun and couldn't get out.

"This is still the most basic level of [Free Trade]. If we collect some business-related destiny, we can synthesize it for [Free Trade], and upgrade it to a level like [Benefiting the World and Peaceful People]."

Liu Ke didn't even dare to think about it.

Isn't that better than tobacco?
Once other countries have formed a trade dependence on the big man, wouldn't it be easy to flatten and round them?

"Speaking of [Ji Shi An Min], why is Luzon still not shaking?"

Before going to sea earlier, he sent a letter of credence to Luzon to warn of earthquakes.

Now that Siam has been shaken, the King of Siam was frightened and surrendered.

Why hasn't Luzon shaken yet?

Liu Ke has been waiting until now, also for the earthquake.

Before he could open his mind.

There was only a bang.

"Your Majesty, there are big waves at sea!!"

Dian Chu hurriedly said to Liu Ke that if the emperor didn't evacuate quickly, he would just walk away.

"No hurry, go and have a look."

If there is an earthquake in Luzon, it will not be very good.

Because of the coast, after an earthquake, it is easy to trigger a series of chain reactions, such as tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

However, Luzon was hit by a disaster, and the big man just showed the humanitarian spirit of a big country and provided emergency relief.

We are big men, but in order to help the victims, can you not let us go deep into the hinterland?

Then, through disaster relief, I will take the opportunity to conduct an ecological survey on the whole of Luzon.

Is it normal for you to protect the environment and see if the land can still be cultivated, and whether the gold mine can still be dug?
If such behavior in Luzon is quite effective, it can continue to be imitated in the future.

Anyway, there is [Ji Shi An Min] here, no matter what natural disasters you have, we can give early warning.

With the same method, go to Dongyi, which also has a large amount of minerals and is also troubled by disasters, and follow the gourd.

As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers are in different lands, but the wind and the moon are in the same sky.

When Liu Ke went to the beach, he saw the waves rolling violently on the sea.

One floor is higher than the next, and the soaring waves roll up from time to time even higher than the houses in the harbor.

Many nearby Luzon people also saw this scene, and they were all worried.

Gan Wenjin proposed to move the fleet away as soon as possible.

He knew that the emperor had sent a letter of credence to King Luoshe earlier, saying that there would be an earthquake in Luzon.

Isn't this a sign of an earthquake?

He had seen the earthquake in Gaozhou before.

If the fleet encounters an earthquake or tsunami, nine times out of ten it will sink, and it is estimated that all the profits of this trip will be lost.

"Don't move, don't move, there are still nets hanging on the boat!"

He Hong, who came in a hurry, tried to dissuade him.

"The bigger the waves, the more fish crash into the net."

"As far as your method of treating guests to dinner, no amount of money is enough!"

The crowd couldn't help but look sideways.

This dog thing is really buttoned, not only buttoned, but also has no pattern.

If it weren't for the fact that the delivery was a bit level, someone would have been poking at Shen Hai long ago.

"No hurry, just watch."

Liu Ke was the old god, and comforted everyone.

He even boarded the ship himself, and kept the rope connected to the rudder in his hands.

If there is an earthquake, there is no place safer than on a donkey's head boat.

Take [-] steps back, even if you really fall into the sea, you can still float on the sea.

The entire Manila Bay was full of wind and clouds all day long, and the waves never stopped.

Those Luzon people who live near the sea, even if they are hiding at home, can hear the sound of the waves churning and beating.

That Chai Lao even pinched the Kun leather jacket on his body, and kept calling Kun Kun to bless him.

Although he is still some distance away from the sea.

But listening to it, it feels too scary...

It seems that it is close at hand, and it can wash away others at any time.

Even the Port of Manila, which is rare at night, has several extra lights.

Prigo also hurriedly bought some kun candles for lighting.

Today's waves really shocked everyone.

Some people listened, the Emperor Han had warned earlier that there would be an earthquake in Luzon.

So even more scared.

What if there is an earthquake or tsunami suddenly at night, and the port is washed away, and you can't escape?
It is not just Prigo who represents the Luzon government and has started to act.

The ordinary Luzon people below also have their own methods.

Some people sat in front of their homes for a whole night.

There were also people, some of them packed kun leather clothes, kun meat, etc. in buckets, ready to run away with the bucket at any time.

Others simply hid directly on the mountain.

The Han people are not so exaggerated.

Although Prigo temporarily acted as King Luoshe, he agreed to allow the Han people to enter a deeper place and take refuge.

But they all obeyed Liu Ke's order and squatted on the boat.

One night passed, but it was nothing serious.

The waves roll and roll, but the big man fleet is as stable as an old dog, much safer than the ground.

So early in the morning, just after dawn, many Luzon people stood around the coast in amazement.

"I was scared to death. The whole family didn't sleep all night, thinking that there would be an earthquake and tsunami, but I didn't expect to scare myself."

"Who said it wasn't, we sat there and waited most of the night, but nothing happened until dawn."

"Forget it, we all ate the northwest wind all night on the mountain."

"That is, you see that the Han people are not afraid, just stay on the boat."

"On the cusp of the wind and waves, without dodge, what are we afraid of?"

"Is there a possibility that something might happen today?"

"To shut up!"

"It's not impossible, it's under the protection of the Lord of Luzon."

"In my opinion, there is a mansion of Lu Song named by the emperor of Han Dynasty, and Kun Kun is there, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Look, the waves on the sea seem not to be as big as yesterday."

"It's hard to say..."

"Maybe something happened in Batangas. Our place is far away, so there are some waves."

"Don't talk nonsense, Batangas is the capital of the king."

"What's wrong with Wangdu, Wangdu is still sucking"

Another day of watching the sea.

Luzon people are all paying attention to the tide, watching the waves keep churning, and they have not weakened a bit as expected.

People raised their hearts and saw that the sky was getting dark again.

Forget it, let’s prepare again, either carry the bucket and run away, or go directly to the mountain.

I didn't dare to let go of the belongings I packed up last night, and held them all in my arms.

However, I stayed up all night like this, and nothing happened.

On the third day, the coastal waters of Manila port were full of cursing in Luzon dialect.

A group of Han people shook their heads again and again.

Your country is too poor.

There are even some people who have some resentment towards the big man.

If it weren't for your emperor, he would have warned months in advance that there would be an earthquake.

They wouldn't be so trembling when they saw a few waves.

suddenly.

The waves got bigger again.
