With the help of the monsoon, the Li family fleet, which had a smooth and smooth journey, finally arrived at the ancient peninsula country of Silla and Goguryeo, which is now the capital of the North Korea country, and successfully completed its docking in the port of this country that did not implement too many severe maritime prohibitions.

“…”

"Although it's not the first time I've been here, every time I see this, I feel that they really look like our Ming Dynasty..."

“Whether it is architecture, clothing or hairstyle, it’s really similar…”

"It's like a little Ming Dynasty?"

Li Huamei, who was stranded at the pier, did not run around casually, looked at the Silla people working on the pier, looked at the officials and houses, and gradually, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

That's right, Li Huamei knew that this country was a subordinate state of the Ming Dynasty. Except for not directly ruling the people here, the Ming Empire actually had no essential difference between the politics and culture here and an internal prefecture within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Here, every Korean king must be approved by the Ming Dynasty when he ascended the throne, and there is no big obstacle for them to use Chinese directly here. At least the official and some upper-class people can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters with brushes, and there is no problem with communication.

But, there is basically no change from this country, and it is still prosperous and stable. However, the Ming Empire has fallen to internal and external troubles, the northwest of the Central Plains is in corruption, and some places have even fallen to a miserable level that is worse than even this vain state?

However, no matter how worried it is, it is useless. That kind of thing is not something Li Huamei should worry about. Her current identity is just a smuggling merchant in a layer of disguise. Therefore, apart from sighing randomly, she has nothing to say.

"James!"

"Charlie De and Yi An went to the Maritime Bureau here to pay taxes and sign a contract, but have not returned yet?"

Looking at the idle and idleness in the distance of the dock, looking at the loaders and unloaders of the two ships and the Seoul merchants who came anxiously, although Li Huamei also wanted them to help unload the goods and sell them on the spot, but unfortunately, she did not dare to do that before obtaining permission from the local government and paying taxes.

Although they came here last year, signed a document and paid taxes, it was last year. If they came again this year, they had to sign it again, otherwise they would be illegal and easily troubled by the dock officials. This is why the local merchants and coolies wanted to come over, but they could only wait patiently.

"Don't worry!"

"Admiral, you don't know that there will be no problem with signing contracts. We are businessmen who come to do business, and they know that we can help fight Japanese pirates. Thank you, we are not too late, so we'll just go through a process."

"but……"

"Admiral, I'm still a little worried. We are afraid that we won't make much money this time..."

After comforting Li Huamei, James became a little worried again.

"oh?"

“How to say it?”

Li Huamei was a little surprised and didn't know why the other party was worried about these things.

"I just asked, silk and ceramics are also produced here, and most of our warehouses are filled with those things. Will this be..."

"Will you lose money?"

After hesitating for a while, James finally expressed his concerns.

"rest assured!"

"Of course I know that silk and ceramics are produced here, but the silk and ceramics in the Ming Dynasty are different from the craftsmanship here. They are much more exquisite and should not worry about sales."

"In addition, we have brought a lot of jade and green stones this time. I believe the high-ranking officials here will definitely like it."

He smiled and shook his head. Obviously, unlike James' concerns, Li Huamei was very confident.

However, the other party's words reminded her that when she comes to Seoul next time, she must not bring silk fabrics and ceramics. Although she does not have to worry about sales, the profit is too low, so it is better to bring luxury goods directly.

After all, this country is different from the Ming Dynasty. It is relatively peaceful and stable, and those luxury goods can always be sold at a good price here.

"By the way!"

"Where is that guy Anne?"

After saying that, Li Huamei looked around, and then she found that the little guy who had been lawless on the boat for more than half a month and made the mess on the boat, making her very worried, was not by their side at this time?

"I've been running into the city and gone crazy..."

"But don't worry, if you take someone to find her, there will be no accident."

With his arms held, James said indifferently.

"That's good!"

"I hope Charlie and Yi'an will come back soon, and we can unload the goods as soon as possible. The ginseng and hazelnuts here are popular in the Ming Dynasty. I hope those merchants have enough goods in their hands."

After looking at the Seoul Da Shang around who were waiting patiently and looking at the Seoul from time to time, Li Huamei stopped saying anything, but just waited patiently with her own people, waiting for Charlie and Yi'an to come back from paying the tax and get a transaction license.

...

While Li Huamei and others were waiting for transactions and doing other serious things, Annie must be wandering around and eating and drinking.

“…”

(￣～￣) Chew!

“!!”

(??~??)?!

Soon, Annie discovered a strange guy, who was following her secretly, and she didn't know if she wanted to do something bad?

so……

"ha!!"

?(?ˉ?? ˉ?)?

Anne naturally turned into a sparsely populated alley, hid around the corner, and suddenly stretched out her foot when the other party was chasing him.

“!!”

"oops!!"

puff!!

First, he exclaimed, and then for granted, while the other party made the silly scream, he rushed to the dusty ground with his face, and stirred up a layer of dust, making the other party's pink and gray-blue skirt dirty instantly.

"Alas!"

Hahaha??(???*)

"Bad guy! Let you follow others secretly. Now, I'm fine. I'm going to eat a mouthful of dust?"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

Seeing that the other party was successfully tripped by himself and threw himself on the ground and fell to eat shit, a bad little girl not only didn't care, but instead laughed loudly from the side with gloating.

(…)

(lll￢?￢)

“Woo…”

"Ph! Ph!"

"Woo~ It hurts so much..."

After lying on the dusty ground for a while, the person who came was spitting out the dust in his mouth, sat up sadly on the ground, and turned around and glared at Annie with hatred.

At this time, Annie saw clearly the other person's appearance. She was a little taller than her and should be a little older. She was quite cute and had a white hairband tied to her forehead and a strange yin and yang fish in the middle.

"laugh!"

(????-)?

"Miss Bad guy, why are you secretly following others? Is the mud delicious?"

(??ω??)

Unfortunately, at this time, the other party's face was open, his mouth, nose and clothes were covered with loess, which seemed so miserable, so Anne once again questioned the other party and teased him with a bad attitude.

"hateful!!"

"Why are you little guy tripping me? I'm not a bad guy!!"

He stood up, patted the dust in front of him casually, and then wiped his face randomly, but soon he found that the "trailer" who was getting dirtyer and dirtyer had to give up and glared at Little Annie with her big face again.

"Not a bad guy?"

(???.???)??????

"It's not a bad guy, why are you, a big cat, following him secretly?"

Σ(°△ °|||)︴

Annie didn't know who the other party was, but since the other party now had a dirty and dirty face, it would definitely be impossible to call him a Tag Cat.

"I!"

"It's not a big cat!"

"I have a name, my name is Song Yifeng!"

"snort!"

"I just saw that you seemed to have come down from those two big ships, and then I followed you, but I didn't want to do anything bad to you. Instead, you just said nothing, just..."

Song Yifeng was so angry that she couldn't continue to say anything, so she had to continue to tidy up her clothes while glaring at Annie again.

In the past, when she was practicing Taoism on the mountain, she always didn't practice hard. She always picked fruits in the back mountain with other Taoists, or made trouble for her senior brothers, or made pranks or something... But now, not long after she went down the mountain, she was actually smeared by a little foreign girl who was younger than her, which made her feel so angry that she was a little itchy.

"But……"
