Originally it was Father John who was talking to Zhou Zhong, and Father Nader had remained silent, giving people the impression that he was not good at words. However, he did not expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he gave him a gift, which made it difficult for several days.

Quite surprised.

But since there are gifts to take, Zhou Zhong is not polite, and he also wants to see what kind of gift the priest Nader will give him. Xie Lingyun next to him seems to be very curious about the gift from the priest Nader, and moves lightly

Lian Bu walked to Zhou Zhong's side and turned to look at the gift in Zhou Zhong's hand.

However, when Xie Lingyun first saw the surface of the gift, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, because she saw a picture painted on the surface of the box in Zhou Zhong's hand, in which a topless French woman was giving a gift to a woman.

When she, a young girl who had not yet left the palace, saw this scene of a child being fed, she was naturally a little embarrassed and turned her head away, not daring to look at it again.

Unfortunately, at the moment Xie Lingyun turned his head, Zhou Zhong opened the flat box and took a look, then immediately closed it and put it in his arms. He said calmly: "Thank you, Priest Nader, for the gift. Now I still

Let’s talk about things in the New World!”

Priest Nader was very disappointed when he saw that Zhou Zhong didn't seem to value the gift very much. Now that he heard that the other party was still asking about the New World, he began to cheer up and tell everything he knew.

Gain Zhou Zhong's favor, after all, their fate is now in each other's hands.

Priest Nader has been in the New World for more than two years and has a good understanding of the situation there. However, most of his activities in the New World are on a few islands in the Caribbean, and only occasionally does he actually set foot in the New World. This is

Because most of Spain's strongholds are concentrated on relatively safe islands, although caravans often enter the mainland, due to limited time, the Spanish influence has not been able to penetrate too deeply.

In addition to the development of the Spanish in the American continent, Priest Nader also introduced many customs and customs of the New World, such as some novel animals, plants and local customs, etc. Unfortunately, these weeks are more than Priest Nader knows.

, so he was not interested at all, but Xie Lingyun listened with great interest.

After asking the questions he wanted to ask, Zhou Zhong felt that these two priests might still be useful, so he asked Xie Lingyun to take them to Shuangyu Port. Xie Lingyun seemed to be very interested in these two Folangji people, so she nodded in agreement.

, and asked Uncle Hei behind her to arrange for Father John and the two of them to rest where the boatmen lived, and then she also said goodbye to Zhou Zhong and returned to her room.

Just as Zhou Zhong just closed the door of his cabin, his calm face immediately became excited. He turned around and ran to the light to take out the flat box, and then gently opened the lid with trembling hands, only to see a piece of cake inside.

The bark was so small that Zhou Zhong couldn't tell what kind of tree it was, but that wasn't important. What was important was that at the bottom of the box, there was a layer of flat, round seeds. Zhou Zhong ate chili peppers in his previous life.

With countless experiences and the fact that Priest Nader himself said they were brought from America, Zhou Zhong can conclude that these seeds must be pepper seeds.

Chili peppers, Zhou Zhong felt extremely excited when he thought about this thing. First of all, he is a person who loves spicy food. Chili peppers can satisfy his appetite, but this is secondary. The key is that the Ming Dynasty does not have them yet.

Chili peppers, if he could breed them and then make chili products and sell them exclusively as a high-end condiment, the profits would be so huge that it's crazy to think about it.

Of course, peppers, as a crop, cannot be spread forever. No matter how much Zhou Zhong keeps it secret, I am afraid that after others see the benefits of peppers, they will try their best to get the seeds. Even if this is just to control the production of peppers,

After a few years in hand, the profits in the past few years have been crazy. The key depends on how it operates?

Zhou Zhong couldn't help but get excited thinking about the benefits that the chili peppers in his hand could bring to him. He had agreed to cooperate with the Xie family in the production of soap, but the Xie family had to take 80% of the profits. The condition was to help Zhou Zhong take over his father Zhou Hai's business.

Although the remaining 20% ​​of the profit for those people left behind is quite a lot, in the future if Zhou Zhong wants to support the people in his hands and expand his business, this money may not be enough, and he can't think of anything for the time being.

A way to get money quickly.

Thinking that when he was worried about lack of money, such a gold brick suddenly fell from the world, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but happily hugged the box and kissed it a few times. Then he carefully checked the pepper seeds inside, and found that although these seeds were placed

It took nearly two years, but the appearance looks pretty good. There are dozens of seeds in total. The number is a little small, but it doesn't matter. It will only take an extra year to cultivate the seeds.

He carefully hid the box close to his body, then lay on the bed dreaming about getting rich, and finally fell asleep for some reason. When the fleet set sail again the next morning, Zhou Zhong had another meal on the ship.

After an unpalatable breakfast, when it was almost noon, the legendary smuggling base Shuangyu Port finally appeared in front of him.

Before the Xie family's ship entered Shuangyu Port, Zhou Chong could already feel the prosperity of Shuangyu Port. Around their fleet, smuggling ships of all sizes were constantly coming and going. Sometimes the boatmen on the ship met acquaintances.

Sometimes, they would also say hello loudly across the boat, and chat a few words about which casino has a crook, or which brothel has the most energetic girls, etc. These often cause a group of people to boo, and the words become even more unpleasant.

, which is one of the reasons why Xie Lingyun stayed in the cabin almost all the way.

Amid the vulgar laughter of the boatmen, the fleet slowly entered Shuangyu Port. As I have explained before, Shuangyu Port is not just one port, but a collective name for multiple ports, the most important of which are three.

The ports are North Port, South Port and West Port respectively. The North and South ports are both located on the larger Liuheng Island, while West Port is located on the smaller Fodu Island.

The first one that appeared in front of Zhou Zhong was Beigang. He saw that the entire port was densely packed with ships of all kinds. Most of them were Fu Ships, Guang Ships, etc. of Ming merchants, but there were also many that looked like

It was somewhat similar to the Fuchuan, but it looked a bit crude. After Zhou Zhong asked the boatmen around him, he found out that those were sea-going ships built by the Japanese and Koreans who imitated the Fuchuan.

After the Xie family's ship entered Shuangyu Port, it did not sail into the North Port, which was the first place it passed. Instead, it followed the Shuangyu Gate and came to the farther Nangang to berth. Although Xie Lingyun did not explain, Zhou Zhong could also guess that,

The Xie family's power is likely to be in the Nangang area.

Sure enough, after the Xie family's fleet entered the South Port, a small boat immediately came forward to greet the pilot, and then the entire fleet entered a berth on the right side of the center of the port. As soon as the ship parked, someone immediately boarded the ship to greet them. To be sure,

The right thing to say is to welcome Xie Lingyun.

"Sister Lingyun is here, why haven't you come to see her for so long?" I saw a fit girl rushing to the boat in one stride, her face with a slightly dark complexion full of joy.

This girl looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. She is extremely tall. She is definitely over 1.80 meters in weight based on her weekly weight. Not only is she tall, but she is also extremely fit, with tall breasts, round hips, and long legs.

The straight and firm hair makes people's hearts flutter when they see it, and they can't help but want to take a few more glances. In addition, the appearance is also very delicate. Under a pair of slender eyebrows on Guazi's face, the slightly prismatic eyes are filled with incomparable heroic spirit.

Although she does not have the beauty of a classical girl, she has the liveliness of a beautiful sunny girl from later generations.

After seeing too many classical beauties like Zhuo'er and Xie Lingyun, he suddenly met a sunny girl with such an attractive figure here. Zhou Zhong couldn't help but take a few more glances, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a very attractive girl beside him.

A dirty voice said: "Brother, isn't this girl pretty?"

"Beautiful, really beautiful!" Zhou Zhong was lingering on the girl's breasts and thighs with an "appreciative" look. He immediately replied casually when he heard the voice next to him. But then he felt something was wrong and turned his head.

Seeing a dark and bright smiling face right in front of him, he was also startled. He took a step back and realized that the other person was a relatively dark young man. He looked to be in his twenties, but his appearance was...

She's pretty, but it's too dark. Coupled with her snow-white teeth, her smile looks dark and bright.

Before Zhou Zhong could ask the other party's identity, Xie Lingyun came out of the cabin at this moment. When he saw the toned girl on the deck, he immediately walked a few steps happily: "Cousin, I knew you would come to pick me up!"

Compared to Xie Lingyun's elegance, the fit girl she called her cousin was extremely enthusiastic. She stepped forward and hugged Xie Lingyun, and then spun around on the deck several times. She was so frightened that Xie Lingyun screamed several times, which in turn made her angry.

The fit girl giggled, and then the two cousins, who had reunited after a long time, started chatting non-stop.

"Brother, you have really good eyesight. It's been a long time since I met someone with such poisonous eyes as yours. Even though my sister is a little taller and her skin is a little darker, she is actually a very virtuous woman..."

But just when the black and bright young man said the word "virtuous", I don't know what Xie Lingyun said. The fit woman opened her mouth and let out a string of hearty laughter, her white teeth shining in the sun, without smiling at all.

A toothless awareness.

"Cough~cough~" Seeing his sister's disrespectful behavior, the black and bright young man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said shamelessly: "Occasionally she can't help herself when she meets friends, but generally speaking

Say, my sister is still a very elegant girl..."

Before the black and bright young man finished speaking, Xie Lingyun might have mentioned that Father Ruowang secretly climbed onto the boat last night. However, before he could finish the words, the muscular girl slapped the side of the boat and cursed: "What? How dare such a bastard dare to do so?"

Run to your cousin's boat and see if my aunt doesn't skin him!"

The bright-black young man's face was almost turning green at this moment. If it had been anyone else, he would have stabbed someone long ago, but the other person was his sister, and there was an old man covering her, so he could only endure the pain of vomiting blood.

Impulsively, he once again showed Zhou Zhong a smile that was about to cry: "Brother, since you are so discerning, and judging from your age, you should not be married yet, so I don't know what you think of my sister. If you feel good, I will go with you right away.
