1248. Chapter 1248 China

After Ye Zhen and the others disembarked from the ship, they entered the port. This should be the border of this country. It was just because it was close to the sea that a port was built. I don't know how big this country will be. Maybe it is another continent.

"Dad, don't you think this place looks like... Jinkou City?" Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing.

"It's indeed very similar." Ye Yiqing nodded. Although the scale here is not as large as Jinkou City, nor does it have the majesty of Kyoto, it does have a unique urban charm, scattered among the modern buildings. Amidst the lush greenery of redbud and banyan trees, the port under the sun is filled with the atmosphere of the ocean and has an exotic atmosphere. The harbor is full of sails and countless merchant ships are moored, making it look very lively.

Ye Zhen said, "Dad, it seems that there is a trading house over there. Let's go and take a look."

I really wonder how big this country is and who built this port? Ye Zhen remembered that Qi Ruoshui insisted that the Huangfu family had hidden power, and Huangfu Chen had already rejected it at that time, but now that she saw this scene, she remembered the Huangfu dynasty for some reason.

"Find an inn to stay first." Ye Yiqing said. Although they met many people with different skins along the way, there were generally more Han people. If they guessed correctly, these people should have immigrated here. Come to found the country.

"I'm more curious about who the emperor here will be." Zhaoyang said softly.

Ye Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly. What Qi Ruoshui once said came to mind. This place was too similar to what Qi Ruoshui mentioned, but she hadn't figured out the truth yet, so she didn't dare to make a conclusion.

"Find an 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 someone happened to check out, so they only had two rooms to stay in, otherwise they would have to find accommodation elsewhere.

Ye Zhen had to breastfeed her two children and change their diapers. It would take a while for her to be busy.

Ye Yiqing took advantage of this moment to inquire about news below the inn.

This country is not Rover Country. The small island country and Feiquan Mountain that were once called Rover Country have disappeared. Today, this country is called Hua Country. Their country has fifty-one cities, and Nanzhou is just one of their ports.

Their emperor's surname is Qi, and his given 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 their country. Their country is becoming more and more prosperous under his leadership.

China? Qi Yu?

Ye Yiqing was interested in these two names. It seemed that this country was more interesting than he imagined.

"Second uncle, do you think there is a problem with China?" Ye Chundong asked Ye Yiqing in a low voice.

"It's not a problem." Ye Yiqing shook his head, "If I have the chance, I really want to meet this Qi Yu."

Ye Zhen happened to be walking down with Mingxi in her arms. When she heard Ye Yiqing's words, she asked doubtfully, "Who is Qi Yu?"

"The emperor of China." Ye Chundong replied, "We just found out from the innkeeper that most of the people here are Han Chinese."

Ye Zhen was surprised, "This is the Kingdom of China? 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. Everything here seemed to be the shadow of Jinguo, but in fact many things in Jinguo were inherited from Jingguo.

"That's Thirteenth Street over there. They're 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.

"Dad, this country..." Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, "Do you think it has anything to do with the Huangfu Dynasty?"

It may not have anything 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 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. What exactly Whether that is the case or not is unknown.”

When they arrived at Thirteenth Street, they discovered that it was even more lively than they imagined. In addition to the main street, there were thirteen other streets leading directly to Port Road. Each street was very wide, but there were many pedestrians, many of whom were from out of town. Coming businessman.

"Dad, they also have silk tea here." Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, this place is no different from Jinguo Jinkou City.

The trading houses here seem to be more standardized, but there are still not as many items as there in Jinkou City. However, having such a port trade on the sea 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 had happened.

Ye Zhen withdrew her eyes from the goods and followed Zhaoyang's fingers to look ahead. Sure enough, at the cross street, there was another group of people shouting something unknown. Listening to the faint sound coming back, it seemed that they were selling something. .

"They are selling Dingxi." Ye Zhen said, not interested in going there.

The shopkeeper of the business happened to hear Ye Zhen's words and knew that they were merchants from out of town. He smiled and said, "We have an auction here every ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Today happens to be the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so the auction just started."

"With so many businesses, do we still need an auction?" Ye Yiqing asked calmly.

"Everything can be sold at the auction, but the trading house cannot sell slaves." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Ye Yiqing frowned, "Slave?"

"Yes, this is the first time for auctioneers. Everyone rushed to see the excitement." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

This was the first time Ye Zhen heard that anyone could auction. She turned to look at Ye Yiqing and said, "Dad, let's go and take a look."

"Auctioneer? Are you a slave?" Ye Yiqing asked with a frown.

The shopkeeper said, "This is the first time we have heard that it seems that because of offending the Shui family, even the boat was impounded. Now I am afraid that the Shui family will sell him as a slave."

"You can still seize a ship 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, so he muttered vaguely, then turned around and did not intend to continue.

"Dad, let's go and have a look." Ye Zhen wanted to see what the auction here would be like. They could actually seize the ships of foreign merchants. Isn't this Shui family more majestic than their emperor?

"Yeah." After Ye Yiqing had just learned about China, he thought that this place should have an advanced and modern management model. When he heard that slaves were being auctioned at the auction, it was somewhat inconsistent with the atmosphere of this country.
