Seville, Spain, Port of Daming.

Cultivating on the Guancheng Pavilion on the mountain wall, Li Dan raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles of the screech silk robe, painted the maid's blue and white porcelain bowl from the stone table, took two sips of the drink called chocolate by the Spanish, raised his eyebrows, and signaled Yang Ce, who was sitting opposite him to relax.

"Taste the Spanish get cocoa beans from Asia, grind them into powder and add water and sugar."

Yang Ce did not have such leisure and elegance as Li Dan. He shook his head and looked down at the Daming Port. The camps at the foot of the mountain were staggered, and houses and shops were built on the coast near the port. The streets and courtyards surrounded the huge warehouses, and the turrets all showed that the Ming Dynasty had completely taken this land into its palm.

He could not show indifference like Li Dan, either, his ship had just landed when the plague occurred in Seville.

The ships from the Han Kingdom were here to replenish supplies. The production capacity of the Azores was not enough to support a large number of garrisons. They were stationed on the island to prepare for war much longer than the information they had known before. In order to avoid the lack of sufficient supplies on the island to deal with the siege when an accident occurred, a fleet would go to Seville to purchase supplies every few days.

It is both a business and a vacation for the pirates on the ship.

However, he did not expect that when he encountered a plague, he did not even ask for information about what the plague was. He didn't care about the water and food left on the shore, so he took the sails and led the team to escape into the Ming Port.

It is no exaggeration to say that although neither the Ming Dynasty was personally awarded the King of Fujian in Han or the four sea kings recognized by Han, Yang Ce and his pirates were the ones that were most terrifying on the coast of Great Eastern Ocean Europe and Africa.

Since the emergence of dominance, everyone on the west coast of Europe's maritime pirates were in danger. When he was entrusted to intervene in the continental war, it completely disrupted the strategic deployment of France, Britain and the Netherlands.

He used his superior professional qualities to ruin his colleagues in Europe.

In fact, if the European pirates had such achievements, they would basically be able to retire... Such great achievements will be praised in hundreds of years.

But as a Ming Dynasty person, it's not possible.

Pirates are also a shameful profession for Europeans, but those who have fallen to sea to be pirates often don’t care about this shame.

The Central Plains dynasty was not good. The ancient pirates can be traced back to the era of Confucius. The old man traveled to the sea and told the king of Lu when he came back to "build a city to prepare for the enemy." In Europe, the English could cross the sea to rob Spain, and the Portuguese could cross the sea to rob France. When they returned, they still had a serious identity.

The pirates of the Central Plains dynasty went to sea from Guangdong to plunder Fujian and from Fujian to plunder Zhejiang. They were all plundering the emperor's innocent children, and the identity of the traitor could not escape.

Naturally, there are not many choices left to them. They will either be wiped out by the official army or accepted recruitment. If they do not want to choose seniors in these two paths, they have already broadened the advanced professional tree for the latecomers: King.

Therefore, there were almost no real pirates in the Central Plains dynasty, or the identities of those pirates were no longer pirates. For example, Chen Zuyi, who was offered a reward of 7.5 million taels of silver by Zhu Di, was the king of the Three Buddhas and Bolin Kingdom. The war to eliminate the pirate Chen Zuyi in the Ming Dynasty can also be called the Battle of the Bolin Kingdom's destruction.

Just last year, Lin Daoqian from Phoenix Port also reported to the Nanyang Military Mansion with the Three Buddhas Qi Feilong Kingdom, hoping that the emperor would grant the Feilong Kingdom the king, because their former pirate Zhang Lian, who was born in Raoping County, Chaozhou Prefecture, called himself the Feilong Emperor.

Of course, I didn't report this to the emperor, I just wanted the emperor to be the king, because in the official records of the Ming Dynasty, the Feilong Emperor should have died under Yu Dayou.

However, although Yang Ce and his European counterparts did not climb the same profession tree, he was also afraid of the plague.

People always hope and believe that tragedy and bad news will only come to others and only happen in the ears that are close but thousands of miles away.

And I am free from disasters and will always be in pain and wail.

Watching coldly, you only have the power when it doesn't happen in person.

Yang Ce still hadn't recovered from the fear of the plague and said suspiciously: "Are you sure there is no plague in the Ming Port? If not, let's go, go, go to Azores Island, go back to Asia if not."

"Don't panic, drink this, the plague is more than ten miles away from this, you are safe now, you are all safe, look at Seville, there is no panic in that city."

Li Dan looked towards Yang Ce, and his eyes passed over his shoulders. He could see the majestic Seville Cathedral. This pavilion built on the mountain wall was named Guancheng Pavilion. In fact, standing here, I couldn't see Seville City, I could only see this church.

"In the past, I wondered why Portuguese spent decades or even hundreds of years planning to build a church. The more magnificent the cultivation, the better, until I saw this."

His eyes looked at the cathedral with obsession. In fact, there is a reason for hard work to build the church. It is not only because it looks good, but more importantly, it has practical benefits.

For example, the Russians believed in Orthodoxism because when the Ross saw it in Constantinople, they said that there was such a thing in the world, which was so spectacular!

Building wonders increases cultural influence.

"Don't worry." Li Dan turned around to the impatient Yang Ce: "There is no plague in Daming Port. Not only is there no plague, but the plague cannot enter."

Li Dan had been preparing for it for a long time, and he had been waiting for the plague in Seville for two years.

"The Spaniards are proud of Seville. They say it is the gateway to the New World. The gold in the city can build a bridge with Asia, but under the magnificence are muddy streets that are so dirty that it is unbearable. There are such slums in the world."

Li Dan believed that he was knowledgeable, but he still broadened his horizons in Seville.

He grew up living with a group of wandering children in Haojing. He knew that children could be very poor, that people could be bad enough to not have enough food for a few days, and that there would be extreme phenomena everywhere, but he didn't know that people could have such a way to do poor.

Especially in a prosperous era.

This era was definitely a prosperous era for Spain, and Seville was the richest city in Europe. Locals would even compare this to Rome they had never been to, and said that Rome was an old city.

But Sevilla is full of wandering children. In those dark and cramped alleys, wandering children gather together, steal, rob, and kill people.

They learn from their own teachings because no one wants to take them, and even the old thieves are unwilling to take them because the old thieves are also very poor.

This matter is difficult to understand, but it is indeed difficult for Sevilla thieves to live a decent life. The gap between the rich and the poor in this city is too big.

The poor cannot steal valuable things, but they can only steal the poor.

An inappropriate example is that in the Ming Dynasty, even the most wise thief would not choose to steal Chen Mu's money, even if Chen Mu stood in front of him without any defense.

As long as he knew that it was Chen Mu, as long as he wanted to live, he would not steal Chen Mu's money because he knew he couldn't escape.
