Chapter 73

The people walking along the coast also had a lot of harvest. Shi Fang and Zhu Weili found many local unique species, and also traded with some tribes. The goods on the ship have been sold out, and then bought many local specialties.

Seeing the amazing hide and ivory brought back by Yang Zhao, Ling Qingyu guarded the ship at the suggestion of the chef. The sailors on the ship took children into the grassland to hunt. They didn't go far, but hunted antelope and buffalo on the grassland on the coast. Two days later, they brought back a large number of prey.

The chef led people to smoke the prey into bacon with local fragrant wood and spices on the bank.

After three days of tossing and turning, the Aeolus finally set sail again, and its destination was calicarter.

Zhou Tan developed a new gem polishing technology with the diamonds given by Ling Qingyu. He made a polishing plate with small diamonds. In this way, the gloss of the polished gemstones is much higher than before, and the diamonds can be cut and polished. Then he used this new tool to polish the two raw stones obtained in Ceylon. They are two rubies, as bright as blood. The most special thing is, There is a tear like trace in the middle.

Ling Qingyu couldn't put it down at first sight. Hearing Zhou Tan say that this can bring good luck, he asked Zhou Tan to make a pair of earrings and hang them on his ears after completion.

From the coast of East Africa across the Indian Ocean to karakat, there is a vast ocean. The ship has been sailing on the sea. Except for several major storms in the middle, the rest of the time is very boring for Ling Qingyu.

Sixteen nights, ye eleven and Su Mu were trained hard by Yan three and Yan seven. Yang Zhao trained the crew of the whole ship. Zhou Tan and Huang Jing used the materials on the ship to make jewelry and stir up some new things. Shi Fang was studying newly discovered plants and new formulas. Even the chef was studying new recipes.

Therefore, Ling Qingyu is the most boring person on the ship.

"Hey." Looking at the boundless sea level in front of him and the fishing rod that did not move at all, Ling Qingyu sighed again.

"In charge." Zhu Weili passed by with a book. Seeing her boring appearance, she laughed and shouted.

"Ah, Mr Zhu." Ling Qingyu saw his eyes brighten and said, "are you free? Let's go for tea." Yes, there is also a Mr. Zhu on this ship!

Zhu Weili refused. Ling Qingyu put away his fishing rod, took him back to the captain's room and made a pot of good tea.

"Come on, Mr Zhu, let's have tea and chat." Ling Qingyu poured a cup of tea in front of him, and then took a plate of dried meat cakes and fruits newly made by the chef and put them on the table.

Zhu Wei couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the person in charge was bored to a certain extent.

"Boss, do you want to go there again after we go back this time?" Twist a piece of dried meat, Zhu Wei Li laughed. Although they are less than 20 years old, they are far more knowledgeable about being in charge of the family. Apart from these rare foreign countries, sea routes, and even the customs and specialties of various countries, these things can't even be understood by the Xie family. How can a little girl know? It's just that she took it for granted, but others can't ask. If Zhu Weili had the idea of exploring the truth before, it is gone now. No matter where the head of the family gets this knowledge, she never asks about his past and details. Why does he ask? Just follow along and have a good look at such a vast world that he never knew before, which is far better than the time of calculating and living every day in the past.

"Well, this time, I'll go home and avenge myself," Ling Qingyu said with her chin propped up. "Also, with the money I made this time, I want to set down some industries. It's estimated that I'll spend some time in big week. Won't you go back this time?"

"Well, it's better to wait a few more years until the wind is completely over," Zhu Weili touched his beard and pondered, After thinking for a long time, he said: "the head of the family, you hired those local people to plant in Mindanao. Have you ever thought of sending some people from Dazhou to develop that land, which is rich in gold, coal, iron and copper. If we set up a forge there, the head of the family can trade with his own copper money outside."

Ling Qingyu was stunned, and unconsciously said in his heart that he knew that the three of you definitely escaped not only because of what fake seal they made, but that the copper coin was made exactly like the official made in the Zhou Dynasty, even the weight and grain were not bad at all. Sure enough! Sure enough!

Seeing her look, Zhu Weili laughed: "The head of the family never asks about our origin, but gives absolute trust. The scholar dies for his confidant. I Zhu Weili is not that kind of perfidious person. Moreover, with the head of the family, the three of us can get what we want. Seeing such a vast world, the head of the family is kind to us, and I will not harm the head of the family. The three of us have summed up that with the resources of Mindanao, as long as there are 50 people, we can give 10000 copper coins in ten days Home's transactions in Southeast Asia can be paid with our own copper money. "

No capital transaction! However, the development of this world is not the same as that of your own world. In my memory, there was no such large-scale battle in the middle east peninsula at this time, and there was no record of the great disaster. The development trajectories of various countries were deviated, and the difference between the great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty was even greater.

Thinking, Ling Qingyu's fingers unconsciously knocked on the desktop, Avenue: "Although Mindanao is not the most resource rich island among the Southeast Asian islands, as you said, it is indeed the most suitable colony for us at present. The aborigines on the island are originally few people, and they are still in the primitive stage, which is relatively easy to control. It is not so easy to find people from Dazhou. To find reliable, there must be some technology. Moreover, once we set up a base there, we must We should have armed forces to protect them. These are not what we can do in the short term. "

"With General Yang at home, what is the head of the family afraid of?" Zhu Weili smiled and said that it was really the happiest thing to talk with the head of the family. It was not just a little, but that she sometimes thought farther than herself.

"Mr. Zhu should know that ah Zhao has his destiny." Ling Qingyu's eyes drooped, covering all the emotions inside, said.

Zhu Wei left for a moment, nodded and said, "also, the Northern War is together, and the emperor must call him back."

If it's just the emperor's call, you can ignore it. The emperor is far away. Can he find this alien? It's just that people like Yang Zhao are really buried beside him, okay?

Ling Qingyu smiled and said, "speaking of this, I really have something to ask Mr. Zhu."

Seeing her look, Zhu Wei couldn't help but sit upright and said, "the head of the family, please speak."

"I don't know much about the situation in the north now. It's just that this time there is a drought on Jingdong 4th road. I heard that people from the state of Liao are robbing across the border. Is my fighting capacity so poor?" Lingqingyu asked.

"When we emperor Shizong of the great Zhou Dynasty was there, he was brilliant and bold, unified the south, and recovered the northwest. Unfortunately, he died early. Emperor Gaozong was only seventeen years old when he ascended the throne, and was longer than a woman's hand. Originally, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were readily available, but the Empress Dowager listened to slander, recalled General Zhao, the Duke of the town, to Bianliang, and lost the good opportunity to recapture the overall situation of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Now, great Zhou and Liao are facing each other in Yanyun, although there are sometimes causes of war It doesn't matter if there are many troops stationed. But now the most troublesome thing is the northwest, where the Dangxiang nationality and the northern Xiongnu have been harassing. Originally, Shaanxi road was made of Diguang silk, with abundant products. Now, because of the war, many fields have been deserted, and many people have gone. General Yang's family has been guarding heishuiguan for generations, which is the intersection of Liao and Dangxiang. Now that the Yang family is in trouble, I'm afraid that heishuiguan is not optimistic. Nowadays, most of the troops of the Zhou Dynasty are hoarded in the place opposite to the Liao Dynasty. If there is a war, it is not certain that something will happen in the north, but something will happen in the northwest. " Zhu Wei left the road.

"So." Ling Qingyu sneered and said, "even if the emperor recalls ah Zhao, it must be to top the pit in the northwest."

"Hey, the head of the family is not afraid to tell you directly," Zhu Wei sighed: "There are also some ideas about the fief of the king of Chu in Changsha, but it really has nothing to do with the Yang family. At the beginning, the Yang family was convicted because of the battle of Baigou. The Yang family was full of martyrs, and their own sons had been killed. Only Yang Zhao, the adopted son, has gained great reputation over the years. Heishui is located on the border between Dangxiang nationality and the Three Kingdoms of Liao and Zhou, while Baigou is an important town connected with Liao. There are 100000 troops stationed in Baigou, and the commander has always been the Zhao family People. At the beginning of the year before last, the emperor transferred General Zhao back to Dong Chao, the brother of empress Dong. Dong Chao was so happy that he sent troops to Daliao not long after he took office. As a result, he was killed and abandoned his soldiers, and was saved by Yang Zhao's soldiers. Then old general Yang decided to marry the Dong family and chose Dong Chao's daughter for Yang Zhao. How would the Wang family and the Zhao family want to do that? I don't know why they sent troops to attack in the autumn. The Zhao family and the Wang family encouraged the emperor to fight. The Zhao family has been operating in the Ministry of war for many years, and the Wang family is in charge of the household department. In addition, Dong Chao is an abscess. The result of this battle is self-evident. The only victory is general Yang Zhao's battle at Heishui pass, which broke through 100000 Liao troops, so that Daliao didn't cross the border line. However, at that time, the matter of the king of Chu happened to be dug out. In order to keep Dong Chao, the Dong family also pushed the Yang family out to take the blame. The final result was that the king of Chu and the Yang family were beheaded, and General Yang Zhao and his close generals were convicted and deported together. There were no good generals in the northwest. "

"Did Yang Zhao marry the Dong's daughter?" Other words were OK, but Ling Qingyu heard them like thunder.

"Hehe, it's said that it's just a verbal agreement, and there's no definite decision. General Yang Zhao himself is afraid that he doesn't know. It's just that empress Dong made this proposal at the beginning, and General Yang agreed. After the accident, the Dong family won't mention it again." Zhu Weili hurriedly laughed.

Ling Qingyu breathed softly, and then laughed with self mockery. Even if it didn't count, Yang Zhao was also a tiger. Once he was summoned again, his status was different, and there was no Dong family. But if he decides to go, it must be extremely dangerous, alas.

"Mr. Zhu, when we go back this time, we can first wipe out Mindanao and establish our own stronghold. I can also find a way to take it there, but I hope that the forge is not just making copper money." after a pause, Ling Qingyu continued, "I want the most sophisticated weapons and the best agricultural tools."

Yang Zhao, I hope you will make a difference in the future. Don't live up to the intention of being in charge! Zhu Wei sighed secretly in the centrifuge, nodded and said, "I see, the three of us depend on the order of being in charge."

"It will take me some time to go back this time, and Mr. Zhu is not idle. Those big ports are under reconstruction. Mr. Zhu can go to participate in the first two on behalf of our Ling family boat company." Ling Qingyu winked and laughed.

"Hehe, I understand." Zhu Weili also laughed. As expected, he was the cutest when it came to making money.

Some days later, Ling Qingyu often talked with Zhu Wei, Li Zhou Tan and Huang Jing. Ling Qingyu mentioned whether he could make some farm tools suitable for large-scale farming, and roughly explained some of the tools he had seen. At this time, she knew that Huang Jing was far from being a carpenter. According to Ling Qingyu, he could design very accurate drawings and make small models in a short time. He could basically copy everything she said, which was worthy of the name of Qiao seizing the work of nature.

Seeing the large-scale farming tools mentioned by Ling Qingyu, Zhu Weili guessed that she was not only designing for the vast plains of Mindanao, but also for Shaanxi Road, and talked about some local things with her.

In the morning, I had a heated talk with the three of them. In the afternoon, sometimes I went fishing, watched their training, or thought about what I discussed in the morning. My day was very full. In the evening, Yang Zhao came down more often. With Yang Zhao's shy permission, Ling Qingyu, who was curious about killing the cat, began to experiment with the gift given by Princess fatmei. Just on the ship, we should pay more or less attention to the influence. Ling Qingyu only dared to find some harmless things to adjust.
