Text Chapter 273 Impression of Lisbon

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Lisbon Port Terminal is much messier and dirtier than the port in Manhattan.

    There is no way around this. In the era of 1621, Europeans had not yet noticed the importance of hygiene.

    Here, the scenes of feces, garbage and sewage flowing everywhere made Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan frown.

    ¡°To be honest, they can¡¯t stand this urban situation.

    Although in later generations, Zhao Hongyu can often understand some scenes of this era in American blockbusters, but those scenes are very beautiful, as if Europe is really that beautiful.

    But when Zhao Hongyu and the others really came into contact with Europe, they discovered that everything was not like that.

    If we really want to describe it, it would be that the cities of this era are dirtier and messier than the urban-rural fringe areas of later generations, a hundred times worse.

    The Europeans not far away were mostly in ragged clothes. They gathered around and gestured at the Sea King, and whispered to each other from time to time.

    Very few people there have very new clothes, and most of them are dirty and greasy.

    There were even a few down-and-out nobles whose clothes were still patched.

    ¡°Obviously, even aristocrats may not always be like those in movies and TV shows, where they are surrounded by beauties and beauties every day.

    There will also be poor nobles, and these people are even more miserable than the poor.

    The reason is very simple. The poor will still find things to do in order to survive. No matter how hard they are, they can still go begging for food to survive.

    But the same cannot be said for these downtrodden nobles.

    Face and vanity, as well as the fantasy of their noble title, make them unable to let go of their figure.

    So, every winter, many down-and-out nobles in Europe freeze to death. This is no longer news.

    Hey is pitiful, nobles are really not what everyone can do.

    If you are lucky, your family will have some wealth, but if you are unlucky you can only hehe.

    "This is Europe, damn, I can smell feces even here." Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu with a wry smile.

    The expression on Zhao Hongyu's face was also very helpless: "That's good, when we enter the city, I think you won't be able to bear the feeling." Zhao Hongyu felt scared at the thought of going ashore and entering the city soon.

    Yes, he saw that there was still feces and urine flowing on the streets.  And there were many women holding containers that looked like excrement buckets and pouring the excrement inside on the ground.

    On the streets, for the convenience of traveling, people laid several wooden boards and connected them one by one, and then put stones underneath.

    It can be seen that the filthy environment on the streets has reached such an extent.

    This is still near the port. If it were in the city, the environment would be even worse.

    It can be said that European cities in this era are completely built on shit and excrement. This is not an exaggeration at all.

    "My dear, you don't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

    At this time, Sara found that her man¡¯s face was not very good, so she came over and asked worriedly.

    Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "It's not that I'm not feeling well, I think it's too dirty here, so I don't want to go ashore. But when the local nobles come to greet us, it would be too unhuman if I don't go ashore."  That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu told Sara what he was worried about.

    Hearing this, Sarah raised her right hand, gently hugged Zhao Hongyu's arm, and slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.

    "If you don't like it, let's not go ashore. I think it's not bad to be on the ship, and I also think it's really dirty here. I don't find Europe attractive anymore after I saw Manhattan.  "

    Sarah also expressed her opinion to Zhao Hongyu and made a proposal.

    Since you don¡¯t want to go ashore, then don¡¯t go ashore.

    "But if I do this, what will those people think?"

    Zhao Hongyu said with some worry.

    He knew that it would not be long before the news of his arrival would spread throughout Lisbon.  And the nobles from Lisbon will come to the port in large numbers.

    Zhao Hongyu knew what he meant to them and he was not an idiot.

    Seeing Zhao Hongyu fell into silence, Sarah thought he was still worried about it.  So she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."?What's the problem?  Your identity and status are destined to be more noble than theirs, and the empire's goods are also what they need, so they will flatter you and do everything you want. As long as you are happy, they are even willing to kneel down and lick your boots.  .  "

    Sarah is too familiar with all of this, especially the nature of those nobles.

    Therefore, she doesn¡¯t think that her little man¡¯s lack of color towards these nobles will have any impact.

    On the contrary, if he does this, it will make those nobles flatter him even more.

    Nobles, that's what.

    Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I decided not to go ashore. The environment here is really unbearable. I thought I was in a big toilet." Zhao Hongyu, who thought about it, accepted Sara's offer.  suggestion.

    "Wang Shan."

    "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

    Zhao Hongyu called Wang Shan. After Wang Shan heard it, he quickly came over and asked.

    "You send people to guard below. If the Lisbon nobles come, let them get on the boat. I will not go down. You have to tell them this, because it is too smelly here."

    Zhao Hongyu gave Wang Shan a few instructions.

    Wang Shan bowed and said, "Okay, Your Highness, I don't like this place either."

    "My dear, how long do you plan to stay here?" Wang Shan turned around and left with a small team of genetic warriors. He lowered the deck and stepped off the battleship. Sarah came over and asked Zhao Hongyu if he wanted to be here.  stay How long.

    In her opinion, her little man doesn¡¯t like this place, so he probably won¡¯t stay for too long.

    Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and replied: "Let's stay here first. Although I don't like this place, I want to arrange some things here." Not long ago, when he entered Hong Kong, he heard Sara talking to him about Portugal.  After the incident, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

    ¡°Obviously, the Thirty Years¡¯ War in Europe has now begun.

    ¡°Then you might as well take advantage of this opportunity to make Europe more chaotic.

    If you can disrupt their process of dominating the ocean and give yourself more time to develop, why not do it.

    In short, it will be good for him if Europe is in chaos.

    Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s make it a little messier.

    hey-hey

    Zhao Hongyu laughed sinisterly in his heart.

    "Wang Shan, come up here."

    Wang Shan had just arranged the genetic soldiers, and Zhao Hongyu leaned out from the deck and shouted.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Hearing Zhao Hongyu calling him, Wang Shan quickly turned around and ran up.

    "Come here with me, I have a plan that I want to discuss with you."

    After Wang Shan came up, Zhao Hongyu walked over and motioned to him, asking him to follow him.

    "Sara, Emma, ??you stay here, Wang Shan and I have something to talk about over there, something very serious." Zhao Hongyu said to Emma and Sara before leaving.

    Knowing that Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan have serious things to do, Emma and Sara certainly know that they cannot disturb him.

    "Okay, you go. We will notify you when those nobles arrive, but they have to dress up and they won't be able to get through in a short time. I know these nobles very well." Sarah smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu  .  "And if my guess is correct, those nobles have brought very own daughters. You must be mentally prepared."

    Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan both stopped when they heard this.

    Wang Shan rolled his eyes, as if he had some evil idea, and then he looked like a fox stealing a chicken.

    " Zhao Hongyu, on the other hand, had a wry smile on his face.

    "Your Highness, do those nobles still want to use a honey trap?" Wang Shan said with a smile after walking to the captain's room at the stern and sitting down.  Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "Bullshit, I'm not that kind of pervert. It won't work to use a honey trap on me. Who do they think I am."

    Wang Shantai spread his hands, curled his lips and said: "Actually, Your Highness, you don't need to pay too much attention to these things. The European nobles of this era are still very open-minded. Even if you make their daughters pregnant, they won't say anything. You don't have to worry about it at all."  It's a psychological burden." Wang Shan persuaded Zhao Hongyu in a very frivolous tone.

    "If those nobles really use a honey trap against you, then I advise you, Your Highness, to accept them all. It would be good to make all their daughters' bellies bigger and then abandon them."

    This place in Wangshan?The idea was a bad one, and Zhao Hongyu never thought of following his advice.

    He, Zhao Hongyu, is not that bad.

    "Forget it, I don't want to do such a thing. Although the nobles of this era are a bit unreliable, there is nothing wrong with their families. There is no need for me to do such a thing, otherwise I will have trouble with those rotten people.  What¡¯s different?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu sat down, shook his head and said.

    "Well, this matter is up to you, Your Highness. Then you can tell me now, why do you want to see me?" After Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu joked for a while, they returned to the topic.

    "I think your expression is a bit bad, Your Highness. It seems that you are having some bad ideas." Wang Shan looked Zhao Hongyu up and down, and then said.  "Well, let me guess, it has something to do with Europe, right?"

    Zhao Hongyu raised his eyebrows and replied: "You are very smart. Yes, you guessed it right. I do have such a plan, and it is related to the current situation in Europe."

    "Okay, Your Highness, tell me your plan, and we'll make a plan." After hearing Zhao Hongyu's answer, Wang Shan stopped being carefree and became serious.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
