    Penglai City on the east coast of Huangjinzhou.

    Penglai City is the first colonial stronghold built by the Ming Dynasty on the east coast of Huangjinzhou. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and stands in the beautiful bay area. It has beautiful scenery, a mild climate, and extremely beautiful scenery.

    In addition, the land in the area is open, flat and fertile. With the continuous arrival of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of land was reclaimed, quickly forming a fertile field, and the food grown was too much to eat.

    Farming is a traditional skill of the Ming Dynasty people, and it cannot be lost no matter where you go.

    But apart from farming, the most important things here in Penglai City are trade with Europe and shipbuilding.

    Trade with Europeans is very prosperous, especially with the Spanish. According to the agreement signed between the Ming Dynasty and Spain, Spain enjoys exclusive trade rights with the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, several islands on the east coast also belong to Spain.

    Therefore, Penglai Island has always been an important colonial point for trade between the Ming Dynasty and Spain. There are a large number of large and small firms and merchants from the Ming Dynasty gathered here.

    At the same time, there are also a large number of Spanish businessmen coming here from Spain to do business. Almost every day, more than a dozen cargo ships arrive at Penglai Port, and more than a dozen cargo ships depart from here to go to Europe loaded with Ming Dynasty goods.

    This greatly promoted the development of Penglai City, allowing it to rapidly develop from a small colonial city to a large city with a population of 300,000.

    Although the population of 300,000 is far from being compared with the Ming Dynasty's capital, Tianjin, Songhu, Nanjing, etc., it is definitely the largest city in Huangjinzhou. Even if it is placed in Europe, it can be ranked first.  Enter the big city in the front line.

    ??Clean and tidy streets, straight roads, neatly planned areas, dotted with tall buildings, and glass windows shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

    There are a huge number of shops, where you can buy any goods from the Ming Dynasty, you can also buy palace dresses from Europe, you can also buy corn, potatoes, peppers, etc. grown by the descendants of the local Yin Shang in Huangjinzhou.  .

    If you look up casually, you can see the gentle and elegant Ming Dynasty people wearing gorgeous clothes, you can also see the Spaniards who exude strong body odor and cover it up with low-quality perfume, and you can also see those strong and well-dressed people.  descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties.

    This is Penglai City, a city that grew rapidly due to trade.

    ¡°What a beautiful place~¡±

    Father St. Pio stood on a rooftop in Penglai City, overlooking the booming city in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

    The bustling and lively streets, four-wheel carriages passing by, hurried pedestrians, a ship moored in the harbor in the distance, and the roar from the shipyard not far away.

    Looking further away, between the water and the sky, seabirds are circling in the sky, making bursts of chirping. On the land, looking up, the endless fields are planned neatly and squarely.  Yes, the rice and corn in the fields have begun to turn yellow, and a golden autumn harvest will soon come.

    He has been in Penglai City for more than a year. In this time, he has learned the Ming Dynasty dialect, can even write with a brush, and can also read the Ming Dynasty newspapers.

    He fell in love with the life of the Ming Dynasty. Like the people of the Ming Dynasty, he was used to bathing frequently and using Daming soap, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over.

    He also likes drinking morning tea, eating pastries, reading the life of Ming Dynasty Morning News, likes Ming Dynasty¡¯s food, likes Ming Dynasty¡¯s clothes, and likes everything here.

    He likes every place here very much.

    Living here, he can feel all-round comfort and convenience, which is completely different from living in Europe.

    Here you don¡¯t have to endure the stench that floats everywhere. Almost all cities in the Ming Dynasty have extremely strict regulations. Penglai City is a new city. There are running water and sewers throughout the city, so dirty things can be washed and drained.

    Here, almost all the roads are hardened with cement, which are spacious, clean and convenient. However, in Europe, there is mud everywhere. During the rainy season, you can't even leave the door.

    Here, when drinking tea, he can add sugar to it as much as he wants, because the price of snow sugar from Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty is only more than 100 yuan per catty, which is very cheap. However, in Europe, the price of a catty of sugar is ten yuan here.  More than times.

    He likes everything here. The only thing that bothers him is the lack of belief in God.

    He is a devout believer who came to Huang with a mission"Immediately arrest the missionaries in Penglai City, and all the foreign monks who secretly preach in the Ming Dynasty, arrest them all, and execute them!"

    As Li Zheng¡¯s order was conveyed, the entire Penglai City began to panic.

    In the area where Spanish businessmen gathered in Penglai City, with the sound of neat footsteps, Li Zheng came here with more than a hundred policemen from Penglai City, and surrounded the residence of Padre Pio.

    "Master Li, what are you doing?"

    Seeing Li Zheng coming with people, the Spanish businessmen became nervous, and some businessmen who were familiar with Li Zheng also hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

    "What?"

    "Saint Padre Pio secretly preaches to our people and has seriously violated our Ming law. Now I am here to arrest Padre Pio and others in accordance with the Ming law."

    Li Zheng looked at the Spanish businessmen in front of him. More and more of them were gathering together. Together with the sailors under these businessmen, etc., there were hundreds of Spaniards gathered around him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
