Chapter 542 Old John's Tea House
The Java Islands have 18,108 islands, which are well-deserved nations. After being occupied by the Chinese Dynasty, they have completely become paradise for merchants.
The local indigenous people were sold to Japan and North Korea, and there was a lot of darkness in the process, and the local government turned a blind eye.
The Japanese and Korean soldiers were in the cold and cold land in the extreme north, expanding the territory of the Chinese dynasty and fighting with the Rakshasa ghosts.
The Japanese veins are basically open, and there is no difference between Chinese doing business in Japan and in China. The emperor personally agreed to the Japanese lord for the matter of slave trading, and even if officials don’t like it, they will not interfere.
Furthermore, these indigenous people were provoked and almost all went out to kill people on the streets, and there were not many who were kind-hearted. Therefore, the local Chinese would not have any good feelings for their neighbors. After all, the Dutch brainwashed their indigenous people to cause confrontation between China and the barbarians.
The memorials of local officials have repeatedly stated that the area is vast and sparsely populated, and Hou Xuanyan has also attracted great attention.
A hundred years later, a group of British people went to America and established a white country, which eventually replaced the world hegemony of the Empire of Sun-Down Settings. Hou Xuanyan did not want this to happen in China, and it was necessary to strengthen the connection between the countries in the South China Sea and the local areas. Fortunately, the South China Sea and the China Sea are not far apart, and maritime transportation will become more and more developed in the future, and it is very likely that they will be connected to each other.
The news that the Chinese North Korea captured the Java Islands spread to Europe, causing a national carnival among the British. Now the battle between Britain and the Netherlands is in a stalemate, and the Dutch have the upper hand.
The East India Company on Java Island is a crucial part of the Dutch financial territory. In history, they guarded this place until the end of World War II in 1945.
Now that the Dutch lost the East Indies, they lost the entire Far East. Of course, other European countries also lost all the Eastern colonies, and there was no port for them to dock in the entire sea.
It’s very simple to do business with countries in East Asia…just pay tariffs.
With more and more taxes and a pile of treasury, Dahua today is richer than any period in history.
The rich emperor Hou Xuanyan is reviewing the memorials in Nuanfang Pavilion.
What is a daily life?
The daily life that Hou Xuan performs now is called "Daily responsibilities".
From the nine heavens to the moon, to the five seas to catch turtles, Hou Xuanyan now catches sea dogs from the Arctic Ocean to the Nanyang Island, which are all his concerns.
On such a large land, I don’t know how many things happen every day. Local officials think that their affairs are so big that they are in the sky. You have to know that the emperor knows. But the emperor is also a human being, and his head is so big, how many things can he consider...
Hou Xuanyan stretched, took a deep breath and asked, "When is it?"
Little Lizi stood aside with his hands down and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to have lunch."
Hou Xuanyan stood up, moved his hands and feet, and looked at the gloomy sky outside Nuanfang Pavilion, and felt sad.
I used to have no daily routines, and I worked hard without any effort, and lived in the deep palace like a Teddy every day. Now I think about it, it's so beautiful. It's not like now, I'm as tired as my grandson, and I feel like I am a little bit of a taste for this emperor...
Hou Xuanyan also knew that this was temporary. As long as these newly opened territory were on the right track, he could let himself go again. But when he thought of those trivial matters, he still made him feel overwhelmed. It was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.
The chefs in the palace cooked without seeking merit but without any mistakes. Although they were all in color, fragrance and taste, they were the same taste every day and did not dare to change or innovate. What if the emperor was upset?
Hou Xuanyan looked at the simple four dishes and one soup, skimmed his chopsticks and said, "Take it to Wenyuan Pavilion and give it to the Grand Secretary and the officials in the Pavilion to eat. Let's go out for a walk."
It was originally unethical to the emperor's departure from the palace, but the eunuchs in the palace were grateful to Hou Xuanyan's kindness and allowed them to return home in turn. It was unheard of forefathers and palace maids to have a holiday, and it also made these people feel respect from the emperor.
A scholar dies for his confidant, and the king of a country will consider them. A small matter will touch these people a lot. This is the benefit of the superior. Many times, a person with a higher status than you can be gentle and generous to others, and will be respected by everyone. The beggar on the roadside smiles at you every day and respects you, but you think he wants you to give some money...
Not only did Hou Xuanyan do whatever he wanted in the palace, but he often could stroll on the streets of Jinling, and all the palace ladies were willing to cover him.
In Jinling City, it is as prosperous as ever, with people coming and going from street to street, shops and vendors, and the bustling, and it is very lively. There are often a few strange-looking people on the faces coming and going on the street, and the people of Jinling are no longer surprised.
As the capital of Dahua, this place has become the center of the world. You can often see foreigners singing Han costumes and Confucian costumes wandering around the streets and buying and selling goods.
During this period, the demand for Asian goods was a bottomless pit. This also caused European merchants to desperately come to China. After all, this is the place with the most complete goods, and there are even Western-style restaurants on both sides of the road to entertain these foreigners who are far away in foreign lands.
If you walk in and look, you won’t admire the Chinese’s business gaze. Most of these restaurants and hotels are run by Chinese, and only foreigners are hired to make food.
Hou Xuanyan had a bone fan behind him, walking in the eight-character steps, and two white-faced servants behind him looked like a young man.
A milky white pomegranate skirt with embroidered waist in the same color, a foreign girl with milky white gauze on her chest, and a round and soft waist twisted with a round and soft waist attracted customers at the door.
Hou Xuanyan was a little confused. When he looked up, he almost laughed out loud. Banban's regular script read: Old John Refreshment House
The store is full of people, not only foreigners, but also many Han people, most of whom come to try it out.
When Little Lizi saw His Majesty looking into the hall, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, do you want to have a meal here?"
"Go in and take a look."
After Hou Xuan finished speaking, he walked in, found an empty seat and sat down. He immediately came forward with a diligent foreign girl and asked in an authentic Fengyang accent: "Call, what should I eat?"
This girl highlights a word, "big"!
Her blonde hair was soft and covered with a gauze, only a pair of dark blue eyes were exposed. The cherry lips under the gauze were faintly visible and more beautiful.
The wine lady was wearing a double-breasted narrow-sleeved shirt, covered with a plain white jade-colored armor, and a pair of light green trousers below, which made the charming figure look plump and gentle. The curve of the slender and plump thighs under the thin trousers seemed extremely exaggerated. As she walked a little, her buttocks swayed gently, and it turned out to be a charming feeling that pierced straight into the heart.
Hou Xuanyan took a deep breath, and it was still a word, sexy.
Especially under her plump breasts, slender waist and full moon buttocks, no wonder this store is so good business...
Just as Hou Xuanyan was about to order food, he heard a fierce noise. A group of people gathered in a corner of the restaurant and quarreled fiercely.
Ding Ling's clanging sound instantly attracted Hou Xuanyan's attention. She left the foreign girl and stood up and said, "What's the fun, go and have a look."
Little Lizi and Qin He looked at each other and smiled bitterly. So many years have passed, and His Majesty's habit of loving fun seems to be unable to be changed...
