Colombo Port, Ceylon Island.

This coastal colonial city is currently under the hands of the Dutch. There are a large number of Europeans, of course, a small number of blacks, and many people from the current overlord of the Chinese Empire.

The white people were stranded here, of course, because the sudden outbreak of the war caused the route to be cut off. They never expected that a trip to the East made money became like this, but they would not know when they would go home, because the war was far from over. Of course, there was another way to go home, that was to enter the territory of the Chinese Empire and detour the Americas. Forget it! Think about the long distance, it would empty their wallets that were not much.

Only the Chinese people who walk with their heads raised their heads will not be restricted by the route. For them, there is no other place that cannot be visited except for the enemy-occupied areas.

Since the Strait of Malacca was controlled by the Huaxia Empire, it has become one of the main cities where the East and the West meet. Originally, the small port has become increasingly prosperous, and the Netherlands has become a blessing in disguise. They have made a fortune by occupying this place, including the ships of the Huaxia Empire. Although they are arrogant, they always look at them with barbarian eyes. At least they abide by the rules and will not violate the laws of various places. They will also pay taxes legally. If you want some other benefits, I'm sorry, because the official personnel of the Huaxia Empire will come to the door to seek justice soon, and they are driving steel warships.

At least such a thing has not happened yet. When the Chinese Empire was in its expansion period, they began to deal with each other's people very carefully, whether they were dressed in rags or luxurious clothes, as long as they had a yellow-skinned face.

The opposite is the black people. Since the emergence of the spy incident in Baragan, all dark-skinned people will never have a good end if they remain in the white-controlled areas, especially those that appear recently will be labeled as spy.

It was really that the humiliation that Baragan gave them was too great. The white master who had always been arrogant was fooled by the black slaves in the past and escaped safely! This was no less than a slap in the face of the man who had always loved face.

Of course, if the master can prove that the black slaves in his hands are innocent, there are a small number of black people who are currently stranded in this colonial city.

In the hot summer, all kinds of ships are constantly shuttled through the busy port, some are heading towards the distant sea, and some have just entered the port.

The tax officials in uniform were busy and didn't care that sweat was soaking their clothes all over their bodies, because more ships meant that they could earn more Yanhuang coins. Didn't you see that? There were many guys sitting in the harbor because the route was cut off. Their fate was exactly the same as beggars. They squatted on the side of the road and looked forward to cheating some pocket money from their compatriots who had just arrived here and didn't understand the situation, so that they could continue to live, although there were fewer and fewer opportunities.

Indeed, the number of beggars in the busy port is far more than that in ordinary port cities, and their skin is not of other colors, which is embarrassing to say, right?

Shameful? Nothing is better than keeping going!

Those compatriots who still have some property were not much better. The mood also changed with the changes in the frontline battlefield. At the most dangerous time in the continental region, they were all ready to lose their country, but then they received news that the end of the Chinese Empire participated in the war and saved them. At that time, there were countless people shouting loudly: "God bless, the Chinese Empire is great!"

Well, they are still used to calling ‘God’. Maybe it is because of God’s will that they can save their country from the monsters. Who knows?

An old-fashioned Arabic-style sailboat is slowly docking, and the tax officer standing on the shore is ready to board the ship for inspection and collect taxes. This is the work they do every day and it is also the time for them to make extra money. Of course, except for the ships of the Chinese Empire, all the port staff are unwilling to receive this group of masters who cannot be offended.

The sailboat in front of me knew that a businessman from Central Asia was aware of the two tax officials who had not yet been docked. This means that today's extra money is complete.

"Good morning, gentlemen, I am the Port Tax Officer Preman, and my companion Da Silva. It seems that your journey is very smooth. So please tell us truthfully what goods were transported on the ship? This will help you spend your time in this city, and will also help you sell the goods in time to bring back the golden yellow coins!"

Preman and Dassival couldn't wait to jump onto their ship as soon as the sailing boat was stopped and greeted enthusiastically, "There is no way to be unhealthy, who would go against Jin Cancan's gold coins, right?"

"Hi, good afternoon, two gentlemen, I'm happy to see you, goods? No, no, we are here to purchase some specialties from the Chinese Empire to sell to the nobles in China. Our goods are sold in Karachi. Of course, your benefits are absolutely indispensable."

A man who had covered himself in a white robe and couldn't see his appearance clearly quickly came up and said in a skillful Spanish language. Judging from his fluent spirit, he should have been running around the world a lot.

While talking, he took out two golden gold coins from his wide sleeves, and stuffed them into the hands of the two tax officials with tactful sensibility. Then he took out several silver coins and said, "Sir, I know the rules. This is the cost of ship docking!"

The two tax officials were already blinded by the golden gold coins, and did not care about the other party's other actions at all. They skillfully took the gold coins and stuffed them into their pockets, and their faces were even more smiling. Today, I was so lucky to meet a generous master, but the other party may not have gone out for a long time, carrying heavy gold and silver coins instead of the Yanhuang banknotes of the Chinese Empire. Of course, I still like this heavy feeling more.

"Sir, what goods are needed? We have the most informative information. Of course, if you want cheaper goods from the Chinese Empire, you have to keep moving forward. In Mingcheng, Malacca, there are everything you want and the price is also discounted. Of course, there are what you need here, but the price is just relatively expensive! Merchants always raise prices all the way, right? Oh, sorry, I'm not talking about you, your respected gentleman!"

After Preman took the silver coins handed over by the other party again, he said enthusiastically and gave him a little advice.

"Of course, Mingcheng may be one of my destinations. I want to exchange my limited gold and silver coins for cargo that can be filled with transport ships. You know, as long as I bring it back to the country, I can exchange it for more and heavier gold coins, right?"
