Thanks to the leader of the book friend "the wind is empty", the 24th leader, thank you!
......
"There are hundreds of thousands of such big villages in Daming?"
The chief thought it was incredible. In his opinion, the world should be composed of more than a dozen islands similar to here.
"Cough! Yes."
Chen Mo doesn't know if he has, but he'll talk about it after habitual deception.
The chief thought about the three big ships like hills and thought they should be good.
His eyes turned to the five kitchen knives randomly placed on the ground. The chief got up and said, "dear guests, come away and have a good meal tonight."
After hearing this, huangjinlu smiled and said, "we have wine on board. Let's have some jars later. Let's have fun!"
Then the interpreter said, "they say there are islands further north."
Lin Zheng said, "don't worry about it. Since they have all been there, they must be almost the same. Let's just fix it and record the chart. We can come back then."
Huangjinlu nodded and said, "it's newly discovered here. We must make good friends with these natives, and the fleet of Daming can supply here in the future."
Liu Ming agreed: "we only need to pay some small things to stand firm, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of more friends here. It's a good thing!"
Lin Zheng got up and said, "I'm Lin Zheng, one of the 100 officials of the Daming Navy. Please rest assured. Daming is so big and rich that we won't covet this place. We want to be friends. The future fleet will continue to bring you what you need."
The chief smiled boldly, got up and walked to Lin Zheng. Suddenly, a bear hugged him and slapped him on the back.
The interpreter said easily, "they have regarded us as friends."
Huangjinlu was overjoyed and shouted, "Chen Mo, take people back to the ship and bring some wine and dried meat."
Chen Mo agrees very readily. Huangjinlu whispers to Liu Ming, "watch him. If something happens, I'll castrate him!"
Liu Ming nodded. Chen Mo was just like that. He was proud in Yingzhou. He couldn't stand it for a long time.
……
There is no bonfire, there are only pits, many pits.
When he opened the hole again, Chen Mo blinked and asked, "can you eat that thing?"
There is one in the hand of the golden foot. In front of him is a bonfire with a pot hanging from it.
"Eat too much baked food. Be careful not to shit!"
The huge coconut crab was thrown into the pot and flopped a few times.
The food in the pit was taken out in two ways - fish and coconut crab.
Chen Mo gets one. He learns how the natives eat and smashes the shell with a stone. The smell immediately makes him forget that it was like a monster when he was alive.
"Delicious!"
After taking a bite, Chen Mo takes a look. Everyone is wolfing down, completely forgetting the explanation of huangjinlu and Lin Zheng.
——Be reserved! You should have the food of heaven!
But for so long on the boat, everyone has already been fed up with those stale food. At this time, as soon as Ramadan breaks, Ma Dan! The Heavenly Kingdom also has to eat first.
Huangjinlu also opened to eat. The boiled crab didn't taste very good. While eating, he inadvertently looked at the chief.
After taking a sip of wine, the chief immediately asked to put away the remaining jars of wine.
There are classes everywhere!
Thinking that the chief was the tallest in the thatched hut, Liu Ming couldn't help thinking, but he immediately gave up.
When huangjinlu saw the color in his eyes, he whispered, "Daming can't immigrate now. Why leave an empty island?"
Liu Ming nodded. Just now, his mind was turning the means to divide these natives and arouse internal strife.
Daming is not a butcher after all, nor can he do what the pioneers of navigation will do more than 100 years later.
After dinner, most Ming people returned to the boat to rest, including Chen Mo, for which he was full of complaints.
"It's almost the new year. Let's repair the boat. After the new year, we'll start according to the situation."
Lin is a little worried, because the natives on the island are also in a tight life. Just now, the chief has euphemistically said that the food here is not enough to feed the people on the island, suggesting that Lin Zheng, you can either look for food or leave.
Out of the thatched hut, huangjinlu said, "there are fruits on the island. The meat inside is thick and can be eaten. There is fishing. At least we can stick to it."
"Eat fish every day... Forget it, catch fish."
So the boat was put down, and the boatman skillfully controlled it to find the fish.
Some of the natives stood on the mountain, others ran to the beach and watched the boatman net in the shallow sea.
If you don't know what it means to catch more fish, you'll know when the fishing net is pulled up.
"So many fish!"
"It's a cool fish! It's so big!"
"Don't hurry to pull it up. Too much will break the net!"
The boatman cheered and everyone knew that the food was coming.
There are many trees on the island, which can be used to smoke fish, or simply marinate directly, so there is a lot of meat on the ship.
Since there is no shortage of food, the focus is to repair ships and prepare for the new year.
As the only remaining scholar on the ship, Liu Ming was asked to write some peach runes and stick them on the ship.
During the Chinese new year, there should be nothing less. It's like sacrificing ancestors. Even if you pick up earth as a stove or take a few branches to light as incense, you can't be less.
Han people have a long history of migration, and blood is the theme, but no one will forget their ancestors anyway.
Memorial tablets, sacrifices, words, language
These are all deep-rooted Han genes!
Even if he is thousands of miles away, even if he has multiplied for many generations, as long as he still remembers his ancestors and the ancestral tablet on the incense, he is a Han!
When Liu Ming finished writing the Tao Fu and saw Chen Mo's melancholy face, he said, "it's difficult to cross the mountain, and it's hard to find the blue waves. Now that you've come out, don't think too much. Find what uncle wants as soon as possible, and then return home in prosperity. You can also comfort your ancestors and make your family happy."
"I miss my son."
There is no winter here. On the beach, a woman squatted there with a child and pointed to something in the water.
It's rare that Chen Mo doesn't stare at the waves of Guolu. He just looks at the child's innocent question and reaches into the sea to find it.
There was nothing in the shallow water. The child was disappointed and turned around and hugged the woman's neck and shouted loudly.
A gentle smile floated on the woman's face and comforted her in a low voice.
"I miss my child."
Chen Mo lies on the side of the ship and watches until the woman picks up the child and points here.
Big ship, big ship.
Simple happiness is easy
"Lord Chen, do you want to go ashore?"
Chen Mo rubs his eyes and turns around to see Liao a San. He asks, "it's boring on the island. What's the meaning of going ashore?"
Liao a San picked up a small piece of cloth in his hand and said obscene: "the people here... Don't have clothes. I feel pity when I look at them. Men don't care, but those women... Hey! That shell hurts the skin!"
As soon as Chen Mo's eyes lit up, he forgot all his homesickness and his son.
Liao a San frowned and said, "I've experienced all the people on the ship. I think it's only the general thoughts of adults, you and me. Mercy! I don't want to invite you to comfort those poor people."
Chen Mo raised his chest and whispered, "keep your voice down. Also, be careful not to be found by those men, otherwise we will be buried in the pit and become the food of these natives."
Liao a San held out his thumb and said, "adults have rich experience and I admire you."
Chen Mo was so proud that he shouted at the Golden Foot: "old Huang, the boat is boring. I'll go ashore for a walk."
Huangjinlu frowned and said, "watch your two liang meat and don't make trouble, or I'll break your curse!"
Chen Mo said obscene, "Lao Huang, I have three Liang."
"Get out!"
Huangjinlu watched Chen Mo and Liao a San disappear on the island and was about to send someone to follow. Someone pointed to the north and shouted, "our ship is back!"
Huangjinlu turned around and saw a sail at the sea level. Slowly, a ship came out.
This is the cargo ship sent to the north to explore a few days ago.
The ship was also equipped with several natives, which seems to have been found.
Lin was supervising the maintenance below and came out when he heard the cry.
The cargo ship slowly leaned over and anchored. Someone on the deck shouted, "Sir, I found it. It's a big island. The natives are very enthusiastic. We exchanged a few kitchen knives for a lot of food..."
"Good!"
Lin Zheng said contentedly, "the two big islands are enough to become the foothold of the Navy. After returning, I must suggest that someone be stationed."
Liu Ming took out a simple map, pointed to the line representing land and said, "this road is too far away. If Daming wants to maintain this route, he must build warehouses on these islands along the way and send troops to guard them."
"On the sea, only Daming ships can sail. This sea is Daming's!"
