- At the port of Xipenglai City, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin stood on the deck of a large ship and looked at the busy Penglai Port in front of them. The port was extremely busy, with large ocean-going ships moored at the docks.
The workers at the dock are extremely busy. These people from the Aztec Kingdom or other tribes descended from the Yin Shang are strong and working hard.
They work for the people of Ming Dynasty, especially manual labor at the docks. They can earn a few taels of silver every month. This income is enough to easily support themselves and their family and live comfortably in Penglai City. Life.
Many descendants of the Yin Shang now speak Ming dialect and wear Ming clothes. They have become no different from the Ming people. They never want to go back to the life of the original tribe.
Although living in the tribe seems to be more free, there is no guarantee of life, and medical care is also a big problem.
It is different here in Penglai City. They can enjoy the same treatment and status as the people of Ming Dynasty. They can support a family just by working. There are many hospitals and medical clinics here, and it is very convenient to see a doctor and treat everything.
Coupled with the convenient transportation here, various means of transportation, various entertainment projects, etc., more and more local indigenous people live in Penglai City.
Most of them are engaged in labor-intensive work. For example, the docks in Dongfenglai City require a large number of dock workers to load, unload, and transport goods.
In addition, Penglai City is currently the largest industrial center in Golden Continent. There are many factories built by the Ming Dynasty, such as cement factories, steel factories, glass factories, textile factories, carriage factories, etc. There are many factories. Very easy to find a job.
Because it is far away from the Ming Dynasty, many things need to be transported from the Ming Dynasty. This has also allowed many businesses and factories to start branches here to meet the needs of the Golden Continent market. At the same time, some products can be exported to Europe and West Africa. Go to the side.
With numerous factories and its special geographical location, Penglai City has grown rapidly in just over ten years.
Today, it has still become the largest city in the entire Golden Continent, with a population of more than 5 million. Even if it is placed on the mainland of the Ming Empire, Penglai City can still be regarded as a big city, comparable to Beijing, Tianjin, Songhu and Shanghai. .
Penglai City is divided into the East City and the West City. The East City is located next to Penglai Bay (later Mexico), and the West City is located on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean. The entire location is a narrow area in the middle of the North and South Golden Continent. The distance between the east and west is only 300 meters. It can be said that it is very close.
The reason why it developed into two cities, the East and the West, is mainly related to the transportation here. If you rely on shipping to travel between the East and West, you need to go around the entire South Gold Continent. The roads are very long and take a long time.
But by land, the distance between Penglai City and Penglai City is only 300 miles, and a spacious cement road has been built in the middle to connect it. Transportation by carriages, cars, etc. is very convenient.
And Penglai City is planning to build a railway to connect the east and west cities. Once the railway is built, travel will be more convenient and faster.
Because of the special geographical location, this has also led to the concentration of freight between the east and west of Huanghuangzhou. The goods from Daming have to be unloaded here, and then the goods from East Huanghuangzhou have to be loaded. Sometimes there are many Few goods from Europe were transported back to the Ming Dynasty.
This also makes the port of East and West Penglai City very busy.
The rule of the Ming Empire in Golden Continent started from the immigration and colonial bases from the very beginning. All the immigration points were all on the seaside. This also means that the Ming people and ships in Golden Continent are inseparable. . 强牺 zuqiuxiaoshuo.com 读牺
Whether it¡¯s people or goods, almost everything relies on shipping. Road transportation is still inconvenient for the current Golden Continent, because there are very few roads in Golden Continent except from East and West Penglai City.
???Except for the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire, which built prescribed dirt roads for these local indigenous people, there are no roads at all elsewhere.
"This is the city of Xipeng. It is indeed bustling and lively."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face.
The port is prosperous and lively. Each ship is flying the flags of different trading companies. The colorful flags are fluttering when you look at it. Then look at Penglai City in front of you. It stretches along the vast coast. Buildings stand one after another. Planning the wholeWhile drinking tea, there were more than a dozen people standing upright next to them, vaguely guarding the two of them in the middle. There were also a few special servants waiting carefully beside them, so that the guests drinking tea around them were very curious. , looked at the two people in front of him curiously, what are their backgrounds, and why are they so powerful?
¡°Bring over two pots of the best tea, and bring over any special dishes, snacks, etc.¡±
Liu Jin looked around and said with a smile.
"Okay~"
Control the big one and control the owl. "A pot each of Yuqian Longjing and Wuyi Dahongpao~specialty dishes and a full set of snacks."
As soon as the waiter heard this, he immediately started singing happily. These two people were very dignified, and they were willing to give up this little thing. They asked for the best tea, specialty dishes, snacks and so on.
Even if the people around looked at Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, they saw that although they were very dignified, when everyone looked over, they all smiled and nodded, showing politeness. Everyone also raised their hands in salute, and then drank each other. Tea, bragging. (To be continued)
