- Offshore trade is less profitable, and there are various dangers to consider.
Although there are many ships traveling in the Mediterranean, it is also a paradise for pirates.
European pirates, African pirates and even Arab pirates are all rampant here.
It¡¯s really because there are so many ships here that businesses without capital can do better.
??Although if you spot a ship and rob it, it¡¯s money.
"Abdula complained to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu sighed, it is really not easy to find food at sea in this era.
Others only see making money, but they don¡¯t see the hardships and various dangers involved.
The pirates in the Mediterranean are very ferocious. If they are encountered, they will basically leave no one alive. However, driven by huge profits, there are still many people who are willing to do trade on the sea.
"Well, Alexandria. I heard that it is a good city. I plan to go there to have a look after my work in France is over." While chatting, Zhao Hongyu and Abdula talked about Alexandria again.
And Zhao Hongyu revealed that he wanted to go and have a look.
This makes Abdulla very excited, because he has a shop in Alexandria. Although it is not big, if he can receive Zhao Hongyu, everything will be different.
"If you really want to go to Alexandria, I can be a guide. I have a shop in Alexandria. I can also take you to visit the places of interest near Alexandria."
How could Zhao Hongyu not see what Apudula was thinking, but Zhao Hongyu didn't want to expose him, and in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, what did it matter if he supported a small businessman like this?
Therefore, he nodded and agreed without any decisiveness.
"Okay, if I go to Alexandria, I will definitely send someone to find you."
To others, this may seem like a casual remark, but to others it may not be taken seriously at all.
¡° But Abdullah didn¡¯t see it that way. He had already seen Zhao Hongyu¡¯s distinguished status. In his opinion, anything said by a person of this status is like a promise.
Therefore, he made up his mind to wait for him in Alexandria.
Moreover, Abdulla felt that this was his chance.
If he really establishes a relationship with this distinguished American boy, then wouldn¡¯t he no longer have to be exploited by Europeans and obtain American goods?
This is what Abdullah cares about most.
Zhao Hongyu was silent for a moment. He said to Abdullah: "Although this is the first time we have met, I feel that this should be the guidance of Allah. I have a very wonderful feeling that cannot be expressed in words."
Wang Shan stood aside, secretly laughing after listening to His Highness's words, because he knew Zhao Hongyu was familiar with him, and knew that His Highness was going to use the magic trick of deception again.
Sure enough, when Zhao Hongyu said this, Abdullah immediately became energetic.
He doesn¡¯t know why a distinguished young man from far away America knows about the Allah respected in the Arab world, but in any case this is a good thing for the Arabs and even him.
"In the witness of Allah. I think you should be a trustworthy person. After I finish my trip to France, I plan to live in Alexandria for a while. So I need you to help me find a mansion in Alexandria and buy it. Some slaves and servants, and of course I will give you a sum of money to do this.¡±
Zhao Hongyu signaled to Wang Shan, and then Wang Shan turned and left. After a while, Wang Shan returned here. But in his hand, there was a small wooden box.
Wang Shan walked up to Abdulla and opened the small wooden box.
Wow!
Although the tops of their heads. A white awning blocked the sunlight, but the gold coins and gems inside still shone brightly after opening the box.
¡°I¡¯ll leave this money to you, and you can help me find the mansion I need in Alexandria.¡±
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t even glance at the box. Said to Abdullah very casually.
"Can you trust me with so much wealth? This is just the first time we have met." Abdullah's arms trembled with excitement.
Yes, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted by these wealth.
You must know that this amount of money can completely allow him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
¡°Allah¡¯s choice is also a test, hey, who knows.¡±
Zhao Hongyu said something to Abdullah in a confused tone.
Hearing that Zhao HongyuAfter these words, Abdullah slowly calmed down his excitement.
"Your Highness, I will definitely find the best mansion for you and wait for your arrival."
Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Tell me, tell me what's fun in Alexander. To be honest, I'm very curious about Alexander."
Taking the box and putting it next to him, Abdulla said to Zhao Hongyu: "Alexander brings together the best of Europe, Arabia and Africa. As long as you have money there, you can enjoy the treatment that can only be found in heaven. Arabs Dancing girls, African mercenary warriors and beasts, and Egyptian beauties, there¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t imagine but nothing you can¡¯t buy.¡±
"Please forgive me for my lack of vocabulary. I cannot tell you everything about Egypt, but I can only tell you that you will not regret going to Alexandria. Everything you need is there."
Time passed quickly, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.
The Sea King was about to change course, so Zhao Hongyu said goodbye to Abdullah.
When Abdullah left the Sea King, he kept promising Zhao Hongyu that he would fulfill his instructions.
And he told Zhao Hongyu that he would wait for him in Alexandria.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that this guy will have so much money in his hands?"
Wang Shan asked in a low voice after sliding down the cable from the Sea King and taking his own boat back to his Arabian sailboat.
"A lot of money? Don't think I don't know that the diamonds you use are all synthetic."
Zhao Hongyu rolled his eyes.
Yes, in that box, there were five or six oversized diamonds and rubies and sapphires, all of which were actually artificially synthesized by later generations.
In this day and age, there is no need to worry about being spotted.
Anyway, there are not many gold coins in a small box. The most valuable ones are the gems and diamonds.
Therefore, even if it is hacked by Abdullah, it is not a pity.
hey-hey.
Zhao Hongyu said this. Wang Shan laughed sheepishly.
Because his method is indeed not very honorable.
"Your Highness, Alexandria is really nice. Abdallah said there are many Arab dancers there. Don't you plan to buy some and build a harem or something?"
Wang Shan asked in a low voice with a mean look on his face.
¡°I¡¯m not the kind of person who can¡¯t walk when I see a woman, so why do I have to buy those poor women.¡±
Zhao Hongyu shook his head and said helplessly to Wang Shan.
"Your Highness, in fact, there is another kind of Arabian Dancer, the Belly Dancer with Double Swords and Blonde Hair. Don't you want to be tempted?" Wang Shan is good at teaching.
To be honest, Wang Shan really hopes that Zhao Hongyu will expand his harem, because only in this way can he look like a crown prince.
¡°It seems like now, there are only two women in total. This is too embarrassing for the Chinese people.
Besides, neither of these two women has ever touched each other.
No matter how you say it, you are still a time traveler, which is really embarrassing.
"It's just that Wang Shan can only think about this in his heart, he won't say it out loud.
Because he knew that if he said such words to Zhao Hongyu, he would definitely be scolded.
and. It is not good to have less women. Zhao Hongyu doesn't have any heirs yet, so if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.
Even if you have children. It doesn't matter if there are too few heirs. No one can guarantee that Zhao Hongyu's descendants will not have accidents.
As Zhao Hongyu¡¯s gold medal loser, Wang Shan has actually been worrying about this issue for Zhao Hongyu secretly.
¡°And Wang Shan has been thinking about purchasing some eunuchs from Alexander to serve as servers for Zhao Hongyu¡¯s harem.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu will be the ruler of a super empire in the future, and it would be very unseemly if there were no eunuchs in the harem.
Is it possible to let those hot-blooded young men serve in the harem?
¡°If something goes wrong, it¡¯s a scandal.
Wang Shan doesn¡¯t want such a problem to arise. So it's best to use eunuchs.
During the winter, didn¡¯t the French envoys send some Egyptian eunuchs and dancers over?
Although I gave it to Emma at the time. But in the end, Zhao Hongyu handed him over to Wang Shan, who originally wanted him to be free.
"But Wang Shan kept it secret and began to train these people secretly.
Generally speaking, these people have been trained well. Both eunuchs and dancers know some Chinese rules.and can speak some simple Chinese language.
But this is not enough in Wang Shan¡¯s opinion. He must convince Zhao Hongyu to use these people in the harem.
"Master, the eunuchs in Egypt are good. They can serve as waiters in the royal harem. We can buy some when the time comes, so that we can avoid some trouble in the future."
"Didn't I say we don't need those people? They are actually pitiful people." Zhao Hongyu shook his head.
Wang Shan sighed in his heart, but he was confident that he would be able to convince His Highness in the future.
"The hurdle in His Highness's heart has not passed yet, so just take your time."
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"
At this time, Ed¡¯s cheerful voice came over, and it turned out that it was dinner time.
At this time, the sun is setting in the west. Behind the Sea King sailing eastward, you can see the big orange-red sun that has begun to sink into the horizon. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, adding to the feeling of beauty.
Sitting on the roof of the attic at the stern of the boat, eating fresh paella and drinking wine while enjoying the sea breeze.
This is Emma¡¯s favorite time.
"What a beauty."
Emma was lying on the sofa, looking at the end of the sea level at the stern of the ship, and admired the sun that had already set one-tenth of the way down.
Zhao Hongyu also admitted that this scene is indeed beautiful.
"Emma, ??come over and eat quickly. Let's keep an eye on it while eating. Otherwise, the food will get cold and it won't taste good." Zhao Hongyu called Emma.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes, Emma will always be a child who will never grow up, because her behavior is the same as that of a child.
¡°Don¡¯t you know that in Sarah¡¯s eyes, he, Zhao Hongyu, is not like this.
Under the arrangement of Wang Shan, several gene people kept pouring wine for Zhao Hongyu and others, or setting tableware and serving dishes.
Fresh lobster, grilled fish and fried squid, as well as pineapple and shrimp fried rice, this meal is very rich.
Around her, the melodious violin played, and Sara closed her eyes in contentment.
After that party, Sarah fell in love with this kind of European and American country music.
Every time she had dinner, she would ask Zhao Hongyu to find someone to play.
It has to be said that Sarah actually has a bit of a petty bourgeoisie in her heart, which makes Zhao Hongyu a little bit dumbfounded.
And Emma also likes this kind of playful music.
Therefore, having a violin beside them during dinner has become a must-have scenery for their dinner.
The King of the Sea was sailing steadily through the waves, and Sara was very ladylike as she displayed her cutting skills on the lobster on her plate, which was very aesthetic.
Emma, ??on the other hand, was not ladylike at all. She peeled off the lobster shell with both hands, and then ate the delicious lobster gravy. She didn't look like a girl at all, but more like a tomboy.
Zhao Hongyu used chopsticks to pick up the shrimp and pineapple fried rice in front of him, and it tasted delicious.
In short, these three people have three eating signs, and none of them are the same.
Wang Shan kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
There is no way, aristocrats are not born, and even if you pretend, you won¡¯t be able to pretend for long.
Zhao Hongyu and Emma are typical examples, but Sarah is the noble among the three.
But fortunately, you are eating with your own family, so you don¡¯t have to worry so much.
It¡¯s okay to be casual, so Wang Shan didn¡¯t say anything.
¡°And Sarah doesn¡¯t care much about this. In her opinion, the aristocratic style is too fake. It¡¯s better to be like her little man and Emma, ??who are more genuine.
It¡¯s just that she has been a noble daughter since she was a child, and she was required to eat slowly and orderly.
Thirty years of habits can¡¯t be changed even if they want to.
Wang Shan doesn¡¯t know Sara¡¯s inner thoughts. He thinks his own thoughts are right.
"Marrying you is really the right choice for me, it's so delicious. If I hadn't married you, I wouldn't have tasted so many delicious foods."
In this case, Emma will publish it from time to time.
¡°Whether it¡¯s Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan, or Sara.
After hearing this, several of them felt dumbfounded.
"Emma, ??did you marry me just to eat delicious food?"
Zhao Hongyu put down the chopsticks in his hands and looked at Emma with a somewhat tangled expression.
Emma throws away the lobster shellaside, he picked up a napkin and wiped the grease from his mouth. Said: "We women in Mohawk look for husbands because their husbands can hunt and keep them full. So what I said should be correct. Now I have more pursuits than them. In addition to being full, I can also eat That¡¯s good.¡±
Emma¡¯s expression was very serious, but her words made Zhao Hongyu and the others couldn¡¯t help laughing.
Cute little Emma is worthy of being the ¡®treasure¡¯ around Zhao Hongyu. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
