The port of Xihai Island is very large, with a large number of ships of all kinds moored, and flags from various countries around the world flying.
On the West Island, you can also see people from all over the world, including Arabs and Ottomans with hooded heads, smelly Europeans, shrewd Italian Venetians, and dark Africans.
Kunlun slave.
Of course, the most faces are from the East, including Ming people, Japanese people, Koreans, Siamese, Tianzhu people, etc. Almost everyone from all over the world gathers here. Standing on the street, the various languages are also confusing.
People are dizzy when they hear it.
Alexei and Andrei walked on the streets of Xihai Island with great interest, watching people wearing various clothes and speaking various languages constantly bargaining, or looking at everything here in Xihai Island with curiosity.
"Only the Ming Empire can have such the ability to embrace all rivers!"
Alexey couldn't help but sigh.
There are so many islands in the entire Mediterranean, but none of them are as prosperous as the islands under the Ming Empire. There is no other island because the Ming Empire is powerful enough.
Andrei on the side didn't quite understand this. Being born as a serf, there was still a big gap between him and Alexei. Alexei could already speak Ming Dynasty very well, and he could also write it well now.
Beautiful Chinese characters, but Andre can only speak some Chinese characters now.
The two came to Escort Street on the West Island. The so-called Escort Street refers to a street where hundreds of escort agencies are gathered. On both sides of the street here, tall buildings stand, and each high-rise building is a escort agency.
At the branch office here on Xihai Island.
The business of the escort agency is getting worse and worse in the Ming Dynasty, and there is basically not much business anymore. However, overseas, the business is booming and the business is booming.
Even here in the Mediterranean, the escort business is extremely popular. Hundreds of escort agencies have started operations here. The business scope is very wide and the area covered by the business is also very large.
Not only do they take business from the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the most business now comes from other countries. A large number of businessmen from all over the world like to hire escort agencies from the Ming Dynasty to protect themselves.
The reputation of the Daming Escort Agency is very good. As long as they accept your escort, they will work hard to ensure that your escort will never be missed, no matter how hard it is.
This point has been spread all over the world. It has a very high reputation and is loved by businessmen from all over the world. The business is also very hot.
In the Escort Street and the Escort Buildings, there are a lot of four-wheeled carriages coming and going, and there are also many businessmen coming in and out, and many of them do not have faces from the Ming Dynasty.
Alexey looked at the street of escort agencies in front of him, and he was a little confused. He didn't know which escort agency to look for, and then carefully looked at the advertisements on the buildings of these escort agencies.
Xinglong Escort Bureau: The people are there, the main business is cargo escort, escort service, and escort services. We undertake escort business from all over the world. No matter where you are, our Xinglong Escort Bureau will wholeheartedly escort you!

….
"One is more awesome than the other~"
Looking at the advertisements on the escort agency buildings, Alexei couldn't help but laugh.
There are many escort agencies here and the competition is fierce. Even the escort agencies who have always disliked advertising have to adopt various competitive methods to win more customers.
"Alexei, which escort agency should we find?"
Andre was also dazzled by what he saw. In order to develop their business, these escort agencies also put a lot of effort into advertising the whole building. Some even drew huge maps on it and marked each location on it.
Come out of your own branch.
The advertisements they put out are also quite high-quality. Some boast about being the best in the world, some brag about their own strength, and some specialize in escort business in a certain region. In short, there are all kinds of advertisements.
“Let’s go to a house first and ask about the situation~”
Alexei looked at the street of escort agencies in front of him. He could not see the end of it at a glance. There were too many escort agencies.
After thinking about it, he took Andre towards the Nanyang Escort Agency.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of Nanyang Escort Agency, a doorman came to greet them immediately.
"Two gentlemen, welcome to the Nanyang Escort Bureau. How can I serve you?"
The doorman had a smile on his face, and while talking, he led the two of them into the Nanyang Escort Agency.
The lobby of the Nanyang Escort Building is very luxuriously decorated, and there are also a large number of pictures showing the strength of the Nanyang Escort. For example, some pictures show the history of the Nanyang Escort, its founders, and some important customers around the world, etc.
"We would like to inquire about related business."
Alexey responded with Ming etiquette and said with a smile.
"Sir, your words are really good."
When the doorman heard what Alexey said, he immediately praised him.
"The two of us are citizens of Ningguo, so naturally we can speak the Ming dialect well."
Alexey raised his head and chest slightly and said.
"You two are actually citizens of Ningguo?"
"Then we are one of our own, please come inside, please come inside, and serve good tea~"
Upon hearing this, the doorman couldn't help but read a lot carefully again, and then took the two of them to a conference room even more enthusiastically.
Soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came to the conference room where the two of them were sitting with a smile on his face, and said with a smile on his face: "I, Wang Lei, am the business manager of the West Island Branch of the Nanyang Escort Bureau. I am very happy to meet you two.
Sir, may I ask your surnames?"
"Mr. Wang, my name is Xie Ning, and his name is Ande. This is our Ning country's identity card and customs clearance document. Please take a look~"
Alexey took out his identity card and customs clearance documents to prove his identity.
After they became citizens of Ning State, they followed the rules of Ning State and each took Ming's surname and first name, both of which were taken from their original names.
"It turns out it's Mr. Xie and Mr. An, sorry~ sorry!"
Wang Lei carefully looked at the identity cards and customs clearance documents of the two people. There was indeed no problem, and he said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, the two of us were originally Slavs from the Principality of Moscow in Eastern Europe. We were later sold as slaves to the Ning State. Later, we made contributions to His Highness Ning Guo's attack on Northern Tianzhu, so we became free and were fortunate to become citizens of the Ning State.
.”
"This time, the two of us are also preparing to return to the Principality of Moscow and bring our relatives to live in Ningguo."
"But we also know that it is extremely dangerous to go to the Principality of Moscow, so we came to your escort agency. We hope that your escort agency can escort the two of us back to the Principality of Moscow to pick up our relatives."
Alexei was still not used to Ming Dynasty people's politeness and greetings, so he told the two people's life experiences and the purpose of coming to the Nanyang Escort Agency very directly.
"It turns out that these two are King Ning's warriors. How disrespectful!"
Wang Lei listened carefully, and when he heard the two people talking about their life experiences, Wang Lei suddenly understood. It became clear at once, and he also knew why the two people were able to become citizens of Ningguo.
This matter has been spread for a long time. In many vassal states and colonies here in Tianzhu, a large number of slaves have obtained their freedom through military exploits.
Then Wang Lei pondered for a while and said: "Escorting the two of you to the Principality of Moscow will certainly not be a problem for our Nanyang Escort Agency."
"But to go to the Principality of Moscow, the safest route at present is to take the Black Sea and Crimean Khanate route. Eastern Europe is in chaos right now."
"The European coalition forces and the Ottoman Empire are fighting inextricably. It is very turbulent and extremely unsafe. We do not recommend taking this route."
"We have no problem taking the Crimean Khanate back to the Principality of Moscow. It doesn't matter which one we take. We just need to return to the Principality of Moscow safely to pick up our relatives, and then return to the West Island.
"
After hearing this, Alexey nodded and said.
"The relationship between the Crimean Khanate and our Ming Dynasty is still very good, but the relationship between the Principality of Moscow and our Ming Dynasty is not good. Several times our escort agency has encountered difficulties when going to the Principality of Moscow to do business."
"To escort the two and undecided family members, we will need to dispatch about fifteen escorts, and the round trip will take about three months."
Wang Lei nodded slightly, then took out the map, planned carefully, thought about it and said: "Two thousand taels of silver, we will take this escort!"
"Two thousand taels of silver?"
When Alexey and Andrei heard this, they couldn't help but slightly widen their eyes.
"so expensive!"
Alexey couldn't help but said.
Two thousand taels of silver is not a small sum. You must know that even in the Beijing-Tianjin area of the Ming Dynasty, the per capita salary is only five or six taels of silver a month. This is already the most expensive labor in the world. In this year, it will only be earned
Just a few dozen taels of silver.
This time for a escort, they actually asked for two thousand taels of silver. It was really too expensive.
"Haha, although our Nanyang Escort Agency is expensive, it is expensive for a reason, because so far, our Nanyang Escort Agency has never lost a dart. If a dart is lost, we will 100% compensate the customer."
When Wang Lei heard this, he replied very confidently.
