With the help of the monsoon, the Li family fleet, which had a smooth and smooth journey, finally arrived at the ancient peninsula country of Silla and Goguryeo, which is now the capital of the North Korea country, and successfully completed its docking in the port of this country that did not implement too many severe maritime prohibitions.
“…”
"Although it's not the first time I've been here, every time I see this, I feel that they really look like our Ming Dynasty..."
“Whether it is architecture, clothing or hairstyle, it’s really similar…”
"It's like a little Ming Dynasty?"
Li Huamei, who was stranded at the pier, did not run around casually, looked at the Silla people working on the pier, looked at the officials and houses, and gradually, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
That's right, Li Huamei knew that this country was a subordinate state of the Ming Dynasty. Except for not directly ruling the people here, the Ming Empire actually had no essential difference between the politics and culture here and an internal prefecture within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Here, every Korean king must be approved by the Ming Dynasty when he ascended the throne, and there is no big obstacle for them to use Chinese directly here. At least the official and some upper-class people can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters with brushes, and there is no problem with communication.
But, there is basically no change from this country, and it is still prosperous and stable. However, the Ming Empire has fallen to internal and external troubles, the northwest of the Central Plains is in corruption, and some places have even fallen to a miserable level that is worse than even this vain state?
However, no matter how worried it is, it is useless. That kind of thing is not something Li Huamei should worry about. Her current identity is just a smuggling merchant in a layer of disguise. Therefore, apart from sighing randomly, she has nothing to say.
"James!"
"Charlie De and Yi An went to the Maritime Bureau here to pay taxes and sign a contract, but have not returned yet?"
Looking at the idle and idleness in the distance of the dock, looking at the loaders and unloaders of the two ships and the Seoul merchants who came anxiously, although Li Huamei also wanted them to help unload the goods and sell them on the spot, but unfortunately, she did not dare to do that before obtaining permission from the local government and paying taxes.
Although they came here last year, signed a document and paid taxes, it was last year. If they came again this year, they had to sign it again, otherwise they would be illegal and easily troubled by the dock officials. This is why the local merchants and coolies wanted to come over, but they could only wait patiently.
"Don't worry!"
"Admiral, you don't know that there will be no problem with signing contracts. We are businessmen who come to do business, and they know that we can help fight Japanese pirates. Thank you, we are not too late, so we'll just go through a process."
"but……"
"Admiral, I'm still a little worried. We are afraid that we won't make much money this time..."
After comforting Li Huamei, James became a little worried again.
"oh?"
“How to say it?”
Li Huamei was a little surprised and didn't know why the other party was worried about these things.
"I just asked, silk and ceramics are also produced here, and most of our warehouses are filled with those things. Will this be..."
"Will you lose money?"
After hesitating for a while, James finally expressed his concerns.
"rest assured!"
"Of course I know that silk and ceramics are produced here, but the silk and ceramics in the Ming Dynasty are different from the craftsmanship here. They are much more exquisite and should not worry about sales."
"In addition, we have brought a lot of jade and green stones this time. I believe the high-ranking officials here will definitely like it."
He smiled and shook his head. Obviously, unlike James' concerns, Li Huamei was very confident.
However, the other party's words reminded her that when she comes to Seoul next time, she must not bring silk fabrics and ceramics. Although she does not have to worry about sales, the profit is too low, so it is better to bring luxury goods directly.
After all, this country is different from the Ming Dynasty. It is relatively peaceful and stable, and those luxury goods can always be sold at a good price here.
"By the way!"
"Where is that guy Anne?"
After saying that, Li Huamei looked around, and then she found that the little guy who had been lawless on the boat for more than half a month and made the mess on the boat, making her very worried, was not by their side at this time?
"I've been running into the city and gone crazy..."
"But don't worry, if you take someone to find her, there will be no accident."
With his arms held, James said indifferently.
"That's good!"
"I hope Charlie and Yi'an will come back soon, and we can unload the goods as soon as possible. The ginseng and hazelnuts here are popular in the Ming Dynasty. I hope those merchants have enough goods in their hands."
After looking at the Seoul Da Shang around who were waiting patiently and looking at the Seoul from time to time, Li Huamei stopped saying anything, but just waited patiently with her own people, waiting for Charlie and Yi'an to come back from paying the tax and get a transaction license.
...
While Li Huamei and others were waiting for transactions and doing other serious things, Annie must be wandering around and eating and drinking.
“…”
(￣～￣) Chew!
“!!”
(??~??)?!
Soon, Annie discovered a strange guy, who was following her secretly, and she didn't know if she wanted to do something bad?
so……
"ha!!"
?(?ˉ?? ˉ?)?
Anne naturally turned into a sparsely populated alley, hid around the corner, and suddenly stretched out her foot when the other party was chasing him.
“!!”
"oops!!"
puff!!
First, he exclaimed, and then for granted, while the other party made the silly scream, he rushed to the dusty ground with his face, and stirred up a layer of dust, making the other party's pink and gray-blue skirt dirty instantly.
"Alas!"
Hahaha??(???*)
"Bad guy! Let you follow others secretly. Now, I'm fine. I'm going to eat a mouthful of dust?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Seeing that the other party was successfully tripped by himself and threw himself on the ground and fell to eat shit, a bad little girl not only didn't care, but instead laughed loudly from the side with gloating.
(…)
(lll￢?￢)
“Woo…”
"Ph! Ph!"
"Woo~ It hurts so much..."
After lying on the dusty ground for a while, the person who came was spitting out the dust in his mouth, sat up sadly on the ground, and turned around and glared at Annie with hatred.
At this time, Annie saw clearly the other person's appearance. She was a little taller than her and should be a little older. She was quite cute and had a white hairband tied to her forehead and a strange yin and yang fish in the middle.
"laugh!"
(????-)?
"Miss Bad guy, why are you secretly following others? Is the mud delicious?"
(??ω??)
Unfortunately, at this time, the other party's face was open, his mouth, nose and clothes were covered with loess, which seemed so miserable, so Anne once again questioned the other party and teased him with a bad attitude.
"hateful!!"
"Why are you little guy tripping me? I'm not a bad guy!!"
He stood up, patted the dust in front of him casually, and then wiped his face randomly, but soon he found that the "trailer" who was getting dirtyer and dirtyer had to give up and glared at Little Annie with her big face again.
"Not a bad guy?"
(???.???)??????
"It's not a bad guy, why are you, a big cat, following him secretly?"
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
Annie didn't know who the other party was, but since the other party now had a dirty and dirty face, it would definitely be impossible to call him a Tag Cat.
"I!"
"It's not a big cat!"
"I have a name, my name is Song Yifeng!"
"snort!"
"I just saw that you seemed to have come down from those two big ships, and then I followed you, but I didn't want to do anything bad to you. Instead, you just said nothing, just..."
Song Yifeng was so angry that she couldn't continue to say anything, so she had to continue to tidy up her clothes while glaring at Annie again.
In the past, when she was practicing Taoism on the mountain, she always didn't practice hard. She always picked fruits in the back mountain with other Taoists, or made trouble for her senior brothers, or made pranks or something... But now, not long after she went down the mountain, she was actually smeared by a little foreign girl who was younger than her, which made her feel so angry that she was a little itchy.
"But……"
(ー`′ー)
"What does it have to do with you when they got off the big ship? They don't know you, but you are going to follow you with a stern face and say you don't want to do bad things?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
“!!”
"I don't!"
"I just...I just saw your big ship, and then I want to ask you if I can board them like you, and then travel around the world, practice around the world, make myself more powerful, and then make my master and senior brother look at me with admiration!"
"I didn't want to do anything bad!"
Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, Song Yifeng still stubbornly told the reason why she secretly followed Annie.
"Is this the case?"
(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)
"that is!"
Song Yifeng argued with reason.
"But, seeing that you are weak, people must have not learned any real skills. It's so dangerous at sea, so you should go home quickly and don't follow you again."
(lll￢▽￢)
“Goodbye~!”
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)See You?
The young lady in front of her looked a little naughty and not very capable. Moreover, the empty room on the boat was gone. If the other party got on the boat, he would definitely have to squeeze in the captain's room with her and sister Li Huamei. She didn't want to have another person to squeeze in the bed with her!
“!!”
"But!"
"Wait, are those two big ships yours?"
Seeing that Annie rejected her request to board the boat and travel around the world and turned around and wanted to leave, Song Yifeng hurriedly reached out and called her.
"No!"
(*^▽^*)
"But they just don't let you board the ship, which will make you angry!"
(^_?)☆
That's right, Annie is so bad, she just did it on purpose, because she just likes to see the other person who looks angry but helpless to her.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
“!!”
"You hateful guy!!"
Sure enough, seeing Annie's provocation end and preparing to leave, Song Yifeng was so angry that she almost burst out, and even her hair swelled slightly.
"Thunder in the palm of your hand!"
"As urgent as the law!!"
So, in anger, Song Yifeng, who was blinded by the storm, pinched her fingers and quickly pinched her hands, and then pointed directly at Little Annie's back.
?
The next moment, a tiny lightning flashed straight towards Annie's back heart.
"Wow!!"
!?(?''??)?
But unfortunately, Anne had noticed this for a long time, and she avoided it all at once, letting the lightning flash just click? She futilely broke out on the muddy road and exploded a small stream of dust.
"snort!"
"You know how powerful I am?"
"If you hadn't been lucky enough to avoid it just now, then it would be enough for you to lie on the ground for two hours!"
Although Song Yifeng felt a little regretful when she was just beaten, because her senior brother and master had warned her that she should not use the Taoist Dharma indiscriminately to ordinary people?
"Anyway!"
"I advise you to take back what you said just now and let me get on the boat and travel around the world with you, otherwise..."
However, after seeing the thunder in her palm being avoided by the other party, she threw away the little thing and began to show off proudly. She raised her chin and said threateningly.
"hateful!"
(??へ??╬)
"If you know this kind of trick, you dare to show off. Do you think you can do magic?"
s(?'ヘ′?;)ゞ
"See the trick!"
o(*'　〼')o
"Lightning Bolt!!"
(∩｀＀′)?--*???
“Huh?”
To be honest, Song Yifeng was a little shocked. She never expected that the little girl in front of her could actually teach the Dharma, and it seemed to be a little more powerful than her?
“Wow!!!!”
Anyway, she saw that two thick lightning bolts came to her in the palm of her hand, and suddenly hit her unexpectedly, making her feel that her muscles were numb and trembled uncontrollably, and her hair stood up instantly, and then her eyes turned black and her crotch became hot, and she knew nothing.
"Oh!"
!(;?o?)o
"this……"
┗(▔,▔)┛
"Tibers, we seem to be doing it a little heavier..."
\\("▔□▔)/
Seeing the other person twitching and falling straight to the ground again, and also dirtying the clothes and hair on his back, and then looking at the other person's skirt that gradually became watery and had some strange smell, Annie knew that she seemed to have accidentally made another trouble?
"It seems that it's not dead. What should we do..."
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
After walking over and squatting beside the other person, then stretching out his finger and pointing at the dirty face of the other person, and then looking at the empty alley, Annie couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
(Dear little master, why not just let the little one eat her directly and then destroy the body!)
?? ?? ?
(Tibers said that it is the best way to solve troubles and other problems! You only need to release it, Mr. Tibers, and immediately strip the other party of the body, then throw it naked and chew it in your mouth while it is hot, and make sure to burn it with the shadow flames so that the other party does not even have a residue left!)
"She is not dead, why did you destroy the corpse?"
(′?︵?`)
Obviously, Anne would not be able to do evil things like destroying corpses and traces under normal circumstances.
"Forget it, let's take it back and let Sister Li Huamei think of a way to deal with it!"
ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas
There was no way, and after making up his mind, Annie began to look around.
Soon, she didn't want to carry the other party back, nor did she want to show magic to outsiders casually in this ultra-low demon world, so she found a bunch of sacks that she didn't know who was building next to her, and then she quickly thought of a good idea.
afternoon……
Charles De Huisen and Yian Dukov had already settled the local government and obtained about 10% of the transaction share of the local terminal bulk goods market. Therefore, the goods brought by the Li family fleet were quickly loaded and unloaded.
"Admiral!"
"Tax, documents and buyout share, we spent a total of 12,000 taels of silver, and also obtained a document that can be traded in Seoul for a long time and supplyed by port!"
"Why is it so expensive..."
"That's equivalent to the price of a medium-sized lucky ship!"
"Not?"
"But there is no way, that's necessary!"
"well……"
"I just hope I can make money back this trip, right?"
"It would be great if we had a little more money. We could directly monopolize the transaction share here. If we came here a few more trips a year, it would be difficult not to get rich!"
"Okay, James, stop talking, we're not all for business!"
In the dock, Li Huamei was talking in a low voice with Charlie Huisen, Yian Dukov and others on issues such as goods and tax payment.
Soon, Li Huamei and others were shocked to find that a bad little guy actually trotted to them with a sack and opened the sack like a treasure?
“??”
“!!”
"This is……"
Then, when Anne opened the sack and exposed a "sister" who looked extremely embarrassed and unconscious inside, everyone present was stunned.
"ah!"
"Ann, Anne?!"
"What are you doing?"
"besides!"
"Who is she? Why did she faint?"
Li Huamei, who squatted down and checked the first time, was relieved after seeing that the person brought back by Annie was not seriously injured.
In fact, she had thought of Annie going out to buy a lot of food, and she also thought about something else. However, she never expected that when the other party went out, she even used a sack to turn back a girl who looked five or six years older than the other party. What's that matter?
"Well..."
(′～`●)
Anne was a little evasive and didn't know how to explain it.
Anyway, she wouldn't say that because the other party wanted to let lightning strike herself, and then she also released one. But she didn't expect that the other party was so useless and was knocked out by her? Then, she didn't really want the other party to be bullied by some monsters on the street, so she had to drag it back in sacks.
Moreover, it’s not to mention how hard it is along the way!
"Forget it!"
"Let her rest in our inn first, and wait for her to wake up before asking..."
Shaking her head, Li Huamei saw that Little Annie was reluctant to say it. She knew there must be something wrong with it, so she possessed her and checked it again. She found that Song Yifeng was indeed not seriously injured. But after thinking about it, she reached out to pick up the girl, who was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old, from the sack, intending to settle the other person first, and then wait for the other person to wake up before going to ask carefully.
"hey-hey......"
