Seji Port in Nanyun Province, to be precise, it should be called Seoji City now.
Because of its unique geographical location, Xijigang Port is located on the east coast of the Black Sea and the west of the South Caucasus. It is the westernmost port of the Ming Dynasty and the most important window of the Ming Dynasty on land to Europe, West Asia, Arabia and other places.
Therefore, the development of Xijigang Port has been extremely rapid in recent years. It was originally a small fishing port. In just a few years, Yanran has now become one of the largest, most prosperous and lively cities around the Black Sea.
The teahouse Yunwu Pavilion next to the port has five floors. Standing next to the port, it is one of everyone's favorite places in Xijicheng.
At Yunwu Pavilion, order a pot of fine tea from the Ming Dynasty, a few plates of snacks, and a newspaper from the Ming Dynasty. Invite a few friends to read the newspaper, chat, and take a look at the busy Xijigang Port from time to time. , this Yanran has become the daily life of many prominent people here in Xijicheng.
Tea, a thing that originated in the Ming Dynasty, quickly became popular as soon as it was introduced to Nanyun Province, and became something that people in Nanyun Province can't live without for three meals.
At this moment, many tea guests are drinking tea and chatting above the Yunwu Pavilion teahouse.
Li Ge took a sip of hot tea. Suddenly, his whole body felt warm, and the coldness in his body seemed to have completely disappeared.
Look out the window again. Even in the winter, the West Pole Port is still very busy. From time to time, large ships leave the port loaded with goods from the Ming Dynasty. You can also see ships filled with slaves and goods arriving at the port. .
The wharf of the port is extremely busy. The dock workers and gantry cranes loading and unloading goods are so busy that even in the winter, you can see big beads of sweat on their bodies.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? of of we can see in the Xijicheng, which is surrounded by the port, stands tall buildings one after another, with huge signs hanging on them, and all the world-famous large business houses have set up their offices here.

Li Ge tasted it carefully, put down the tea cup gently, and said to several friends around him with a smile.
Li Ge is not a Han, but a Georgian. He was also a businessman. His previous name was Ballat, but since the South Caucasus region was included in the rule of the Ming Empire.
Local Georgians and Caucasians have changed their names to Chinese and adopted Chinese surnames. Even a large number of people who originally believed in Christianity also converted to Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Ge also followed the trend and changed his surname from Ming Dynasty to a Chinese name. He even imitated the Chinese in language, clothing, diet and other aspects, and drinking tea gradually became a habit.
¡°Did you make a lot of money from your trip to Eastern Europe this time?¡±
Next to Li Ge, Wang Xinming asked with a smile. He is also a Georgian and has a good relationship with Li Ge. They are both businessmen. Now they are mainly engaged in commercial trade. Because of the special geographical relationship here, they have also followed in just a few years. Earn a lot of property in a short period of time. 牺如 lingshufang.com 牺如
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay~"
Li Ge smiled and responded vaguely, and then said with emotion: "Life is better now. Wherever we Ming people go, no one dares to bully us. Unlike before, we didn't dare to go at all. If you don¡¯t do business outside, you won¡¯t even know how you will die.¡±
Li Ge also felt this. As a native of Nanyun Province, he has always been in business.
In the past, the Kingdom of Georgia was bullied by all parties, from the Persians to the Mongols, to the Aries and Black Sheep Dynasties, to the Timurid Empire and later the Ottoman Empire.
Almost all the surrounding countries and tribes can bully and invade here arbitrarily, capture the Georgians and Caucasians as slaves, and sell them to all parts of the world.
Those businessmen who do business in various places naturally feel the most about this.
Many times, after hard work, I have accumulated some goods to sell to neighboring countries, but I encounter all kinds of difficulties. Sometimes not only can I not make any money, but the goods are lost, and I even lose myself. His life was almost not saved several times.
Without the support of a powerful country, even if they are businessmen with great abilities, they can only make a small profit on the tip of a knife.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After a hard-working trip, you have earned a lot of money, but then you encounter greedy officials from the enemy country who deliberately impose heavy taxes on you, and you have no way to do it.
&nbnbsp; It also means that the Emperor of Heaven regards them as his own people, and even the noble royal bloodline has been integrated into their Georgian blood.
This little prince, his existence proves this point.
For Georgians and Caucasians, this is definitely the happiest thing this winter.
The powerful Ming Empire allowed them to live a good life. They were eager to truly integrate into the Ming Empire and gain recognition from the highest level of the Ming Empire.
¡°I will pay for everyone¡¯s consumption in the teahouse today ~ celebrate the birth of the little prince!¡±
Li Ge happily shouted to everyone in the teahouse.
"Shopkeeper, give every table here a jar of good wine. It's my treat~"
Some generous people shouted excitedly when they heard it.
"Haha~"
¡°Give each table another pot of good tea, and I¡¯ll treat you~¡±
Wang Xinming also said proudly.
"Good news, good news~"
"There is another good news~"
"On November 25, the 21st year of Hongzhi, the imperial examination gold list was announced. Li Nanyun, a talented man from our Nanyun Province, ranked first in the second class!"
Everyone cheered and celebrated with great pride. However, at this moment, someone came to the tea house excitedly and shouted.
"Li Nanyun won the first place in the second class and was awarded the Hanlin Academy Concubine!"
Hearing the news, everyone in the teahouse immediately cheered again. Li Nanyun is also a local of theirs. Now he is a high school Jinshi and is still ranked first in the second class. This is another miracle for the Georgians and Caucasians in Nanyun Province. Big good news. Mi He Mi
