Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 706, excited Spaniards
At the port of Cadiz, where the Santa Maria was moored, the Spaniards were cheering continuously, cheering for the arrival of Ming people such as Zhao Houzi and Jiang Liang.

"Ming people, are you wearing silk clothes?"

Someone shouted loudly.

"No, this is not silk, this is satin, but this time, we also brought silk, porcelain and other things here, I hope you will like it."

Zhao Houzi replied with a smile, his language talent is very good, when Du Mingen, Marquis of Taiping first arrived in Golden Continent, Zhao Houzi was the first person to learn the language of the descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties.

On the way here, he has been learning Spanish with Karlster on the ship. In two months, he has been able to communicate.

"Mr. Zhao, can you tell us about Daming's situation?"

Someone asked curiously.

"I think there will be a chance. If you can, you may go to my Daming to see for yourself. If you arrive in Daming Tianjin, remember to come to me when the time comes. I invite you to taste my Daming's delicacies."

Zhao Houzi replied with a smile.

"Oye~"

"O~"

Hearing what Zhao Houzi said, the people in the port couldn't help cheering again.

It was busy for a while, and soon, under the leadership of Karst, everyone disembarked, and all the surrounding Spain looked over, looking at Zhao Houzi, Jiang Shan and the others.

At the same time, the news that Calster brought the Daming people back to the port of Cadiz also spread quickly here. After the merchants, nobles and navigators in the port of Cadiz heard the news, Also came to the port here at the fastest speed.

Among them was Columbus, the discoverer of America.

At this time, Columbus was preparing for his fourth voyage to the Americas in the port of Cadiz. This time, he was ordered by the Spanish kings to go to the Americas to explore the water route to the Pacific Ocean.

At present, all the preparatory work has come to an end, and they are about to leave for the Americas soon. Who knows that at this time, Karst returned to Spain with a group of Ming people.

"Haha, I'm right, I'm right~"

"The world we live in is a sphere, and we can reach the far east even if we go west."

Columbus was very excited. He was fifty years old and hurried towards the pier of Cadiz port on horseback. He wanted to confirm immediately whether the person brought back by Korster was from Daming.

When Columbus came to the port pier, it was already crowded with a large number of people. Almost all Spanish officials, businessmen, nobles, etc. in Cadiz Port had gathered here.

The arrival of the Ming people caused a huge commotion, and everyone who received the news came to see the people from the Ming Empire in the far east.

See what they looked like, what they wore, their silks, china and more.

In an open space, the Spanish soldiers in the port continued to stop the civilians and vacated an open space. Only nobles, merchants, officials and navigators could go to this open space.

Because at this time, on this open space, Zhao Houzi and Jiang Liang from the Ming Empire in the far east were displaying goods from the Ming Dynasty.

A piece of exquisite porcelain, from snow-white and snow-white plates to large blue and white porcelain as tall as a person; pieces of silk are hung, with bright colors, exquisite patterns, and a silky feeling like a girl's skin.

The huge full-body mirror, which is as tall as a person, reflects dazzling light under the sunlight; inside the tea set made of glass, the tea leaves are rolling, and there are bursts of tea fragrance from time to time.

All kinds of things from Ming Dynasty were displayed one by one and placed on the table, and the Spanish nobles, officials, businessmen, and ladies who came to visit couldn't help but be full of praise.

Especially the full-length mirror brought by Zhao Houzi. A lot of ladies gathered around this full-length mirror. They all couldn't help admiring themselves in the mirror in front of the full-length mirror. They loved it to death.

"Korst~"

Columbus came in a hurry, and immediately saw Karlster, who was vividly describing the process of meeting the Ming people, and then saw Jiang Liang, Zhao Houzi and other Ming people.

His eyes widened slightly, and he looked at these things from Daming displayed in the open space, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

They finally made contact with the Daming people in the far east.

"Columbus~"

Seeing Columbus, Korst hurried forward and gave him a firm hug.

"Are they really Daming people from the far east?"

Columbus was still a little unbelievable. He had already been to America three times, but he had never met a Daming person, and he hadn't found the legendary rich eastern country.

He even thought that the Indians he met were Indians, so he named them Indians.

"Of course it is~"

"I met the Ming people somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. They are building a city there called Penglai City. They also said that the Indians are a branch of their Ming people. The America we discovered is their golden continent."

Colster nodded solemnly, and once again talked about his meeting with the Ming people in America.

"Then how far is America from their Daming?"

Columbus asked anxiously.

"According to these Ming people, the voyage will take about five months."

"We are on the east coast of the Americas, and the Ming people are on the west coast of the Americas. According to them, they have established more than ten colonies on the west coast of the Americas and have more than [-] people on the Americas."

Kerst thought for a while and replied.

"If you go all the way to the west, you can really reach the far east!"

Columbus immediately shouted excitedly.

"God~"

"This is silk. This is real silk. It's so smooth, like a girl's skin. Only silk can have this kind of silkiness~"

"This is porcelain, it's really smooth and white, it's hard to put it down~"

"It's unbelievable that there is such a large piece of porcelain. This piece of porcelain is a priceless treasure!"

"This mirror is amazing, it is so clear, God, I would give all my gold coins for this mirror."

"Is this the tea?"

"There are also these glass tea sets, the Ming people can actually make colorless glass."

On the other side, the Spanish nobles, businessmen, etc. who came to visit were constantly exclaiming.

Columbus also walked over quickly, carefully looking at each item, and soon he could confirm that these items were indeed from the far east.

In Europe, whether it is silk or porcelain, because the quantity is very scarce, the price is very expensive, and only the really rich can afford it.

The rise of the Ottoman Empire blocked the commercial routes leading to the East on land, and the silk and porcelain from the East became scarcer, which also caused the prices of silk and porcelain to rise sharply.

However, a small amount of porcelain and silk came to Europe from the far east by land over a long distance, and came to the hands of European nobles and merchants.

At this moment, these people were constantly admiring the goods from Daming, and at the same time chatted with Zhao Houzi and Jiang Liang curiously, listening to Zhao Houzi and Jiang Liang tell about the things about the Ming Empire in the far east.

Some merchants were even more excited, making them bring boxes of gold and silver coins, hoping to buy these commodities from the far east from Zhao Houzi.

As long as these things are resold, it is enough for these businessmen to make a lot of money.

All Europe was desperate for goods from the Far East.

The royal families of all countries are eager to use porcelain when they eat, wear gorgeous clothes made of silk, and it is best to smoke with spices from the East to cover up their body odor.

But this time I brought very few things. I didn't expect to meet these Europeans here in the Golden Continent, so I didn't bring many kinds of things.

Korster and the others bought a lot of them, and the rest were just what Zhao Houzi and Jiang Liang gave to the king of Spain, and a few were sold in exchange for activities in Europe.

The reason why it is displayed now is also their usual method, which can be used as an advertisement for the later sale of these products.

"Mr. Zhao, let me introduce you~"

Colster took Columbus to Zhao Houzi and introduced their identities to each other.

"Mr. Zhao, welcome to Spain~"

Columbus said hello to Monkey Zhao.

"Hello, Mr. Columbus, I have already heard of your name when I came here. You are a great navigator, as great as our Ming Taiping Marquis."

Zhao Houzi looked at Columbus in front of him and replied with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to buy this mirror of yours with two boxes of gold coins~"

Before Zhao Houzi had a chat with Columbus, a noble came over with his wife and said.

"I'm really sorry, I intend to give this mirror to your great Queen Isabella!"

When Zhao Houzi heard this, he immediately smiled and said in an apologetic tone.

"Then do you still have such a mirror?"

"No matter how much money you need, I'm willing to buy."

The nobleman immediately spoke helplessly to the lady beside him.

"This is the only full-length mirror like this. As for other small mirrors, there are some. I can sell one to your wife, after all, she is so beautiful."

Zhao Houzi smiled and replied.

This time, I was really not prepared enough. The various things I brought were too deep, and I couldn’t hold back these enthusiastic Spaniards. There were too many people who wanted to buy things.

　Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests~
