The things plundered in Mindanao were not brought onto the ship, but placed on Fengshen Island, and with the people on the island, the Fengshen headed for the Indian mainland.
Seagulls are flying in the sky, flying fish are jumping out of the waves on the sea surface, and the Fengshen is full of sails, and the bulging sails take the Fengshen to cross the Strait of Malacca, which is the vast Indian Ocean.
The Strait of Malacca is long and narrow, and it used to be a place where pirates were rampant. Everyone on board was very careful, but it passed through safely.
The forests and swamps on both sides of the strait gradually disappeared from sight. Ling Qingyu turned his head and looked ahead. There was another subcontinent that Ding Dong and the others had never been to, India. After that, it's Africa.
You can see the port in the distance, bustling crowds, stretches of flat-roofed houses, and people wearing strange clothes are constantly shuttling.
This is later Myanmar, now called the Bagan Kingdom, a port city built at the mouth of the Yangon River, Daguang.
The Fengshen's draft was too deep, and it did not enter the inner harbour, and stopped at a place some distance from the harbour.
The huge hull appeared on the sea level, and there was a noise in the port, and many small boats rushed to the side of the boat.
"Let's go ashore on Eleventh and have a look. The jadeite produced here is the best in the world. Let's go find some good things." Ling Qingyu stood at the bow of the boat and smiled at Ye Shixi beside him.
Half of her scorched hair had been cut off, leaving only shoulder length, and only half of her bangs were left, so she simply tied a high ponytail behind her head, wearing a dress that Zhou Tan made according to her request, Short sleeves, the hem of the skirt only reaches the knees, a white ribbon is tied around the waist, and the chest is raised high. On the feet are sandals made of double leather ropes, and the leather ropes are wrapped around the calves. The whole person looks refreshing And sexy.
"Boss, can we go too?" Ye Fei asked enviously from the side. After returning from Ula Ula, whenever she was free, Ye Fei liked to follow Ling Qingyu. The head of the family would talk about many interesting things, and every time he passed a place, he would tell some local legends.
"Well," Ling Qingyu nodded generously, and then said to the six disciples he was leading: "One of you takes two, don't get lost."
Huang Lian, the oldest, replied with a smile: "Yes." The six of them thought they would be sold to those places, but who knew that they would be lucky enough to learn how to be a boat master, the use of the compass, the star chart, the viewing of the sun, Ling Qingyu taught They have nothing to hide. The life that I thought was miserable suddenly opened such a gorgeous door in front of my eyes. The world over there is so vast and intoxicating.
"Emerald? Is that the kind of jade?" Zhou Tan stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, it's very beautiful. Mr. Zhou will know when he looks at it later." Ling Qingyu grinned grinningly remembering that jadeite was not popular at this time.
"Is it a merchant from Dazhou?!" A small boat rowed to the side of the Fengshen, and the middle-aged man on the boat looked at the clothes of the people at the bow and asked uncertainly. These people look like Da Zhou, but their clothes are not like the clothes of Da Zhou people in the past. They are all short and look refined and cool, but this woman is allowed to dress like this, Da Zhou men
"Yes!" Ling Qingyu loudly replied to the people below. There are people who can speak Chinese, it seems that this port must be very prosperous.
"Great." The people on the small boat all looked happy. Because of the catastrophe, there has been no ship from Dazhou for a year, and now the prices of silk, porcelain and other Dazhou items are soaring. .
"We belong to Yangon Trading Company, who is in charge on your ship?" the middle-aged man shouted.
Someone came to contact you so soon? Before Ling Qingyu could answer, a few more boats arrived, and the people on board rushed to introduce themselves.
Originally, he wanted to go to the port first to have a look at the market before discussing business, but it probably won't work out. After rubbing his nose, Ling Qingyu said to Yan San: "Let's go up and talk about it first."
Before the boat of the Fengshen was put down, Yan San had already put his arms around Ling Qingyu's waist, tiptoed, jumped off the boat, and landed firmly on the first boat.
"Papa papa!" The people on the surrounding boats applauded enthusiastically.
People with good dexterity skills are really annoying! Yang Zhao gave Yan San a look of contempt, and took the lead to get on the boat of Fengshen.
The small boat took the lead and headed towards the port. On the boat, the middle-aged man was very respectful to Yan San at first, and kept introducing how their firm was creditworthy. It was the largest firm in Daguang and a professional supplier to the Bagan royal family. Also has the finest goods in Bagan.
"Do you have jade? Is it jade?" Ling Qingyu interjected with a smile and asked.
"Yes, yes, there are also high-quality teak and spices." The middle-aged man said with a smile. Women like gems and jade, but merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty rarely ask about emerald jade. Then he turned around and prepared to lobby Yan San.
"She is our boss, our boss." Yan San smiled and said, "Whatever you want to sell or buy, you can find her."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was so surprised that he could stuff a duck egg into his mouth.
"Look! The pagoda!" The boat had already sailed into the port, and the noisy port scenery slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. Ling Qingyu stood up unconsciously.
"Tell me the address, and I'll look for you in an hour." Ling Qingyu smiled at the middle-aged man. Seeing the middle-aged man pointing to a large and beautiful white building in the port, he put his hands together and made a standard Burmese Greeting ceremony, and then jumped onto the pier.
After the Fengshen's boat arrived, Ling Qingyu distributed some copper coins (produced in Fengshen Island) to everyone, and then explained some precautions to everyone, such as not touching people's heads, not wearing shoes into Buddhist halls, and seeing cows on the street. Get out of the way, women left men right, and so on.
Later, Ling Qingyu simply picked up a wooden stick on the ground, took off Ding Dong's red scarf and tied it on the stick, and said loudly: "Everyone has taken a good look at the flag of our regiment, don't lose it, if you want to see it, everyone raise it Let me tell you, we can move around freely, if we get separated, remember to gather here in an hour."
So the Fengshen sightseeing group walked on the streets of Daguang mightily.
Ye Poo was put on the dissecting table that night, some of his hair was shaved off for convenience, and then he shaved his head bald. Seeing his cool look, the other children followed suit, so among the group of people, There are several more bald dolls. Walking on the street, someone clasped their hands to them from time to time.
After walking a street, the copper coins here in Daguang are not only usable, but also very valuable. Ling Qingyu saw that although the streets of the port are complicated, they are very regular. He probably won't get lost, so he let everyone move freely.
And she squatted at the door of a shop full of stones outside.
Betting on stones! Ling Qingyu only felt her blood boiling. Back then, she stayed in Tengchong for three months to learn how to bet on stones. She lost all the money on her body, including the bus fare.
"How much is a stone?" Ling Qingyu raised his head and asked the shopkeeper, the light in his eyes was dazzling.
"Wow, la la," the shopkeeper also squatted down, pointing at the stone.
"I only have copper coins." Ling Qingyu took out a handful of copper coins and said with a smile, "How many stones do you give me?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up first, then he pondered for a moment, and brought over a dozen pieces of different sizes.
"Nono!" Ling Qingyu shook his finger, and moved out a dozen stones by himself.
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Wow la la la"
"Cut! Of course we have to cut!" Ling Qingyu was gearing up, the most exciting time to bet on stones was when it was time to cut stones!
"Damn!" When the tenth piece was cut out and there was nothing, Ling Qingyu started to jump, and said to the shopkeeper: "Did you do it on purpose, just take out the stone to lie to me!"
Yang Zhao and Yan San lazily leaned aside and watched her look excited when she took a stone, and her face was full of annoyance after cutting it. After repeating the change of expression ten times, she finally started to jump. Unknowingly, they all laughed, then walked to the pile of stones, and each of them picked a piece.
Ling Qingyu grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar, but he still did not forget to say to the two of them, "A copper coin!"
"So you can speak Chinese! Then what do you call me!" Ling Qingyu became even more angry, and said, "Say! Did you do it on purpose!"
"Wow la la la!" The shopkeeper turned his head and took the copper coins thrown by Yang Zhao and Yan San, and then motioned for the staff to cut them open.
"You are called a profiteer! Fraud!" Ling Qingyu still said angrily.
"Out! Out!" The stone-cutter yelled, Ling Qingyu turned his head to look, well, inside the slowly cut stone, there was a piece of green, shining with a glass-like luster.
"Old pit species!" Ling Qingyu threw away the store, rushed to the clerk, and said, "Don't cut it, rub it, rub the stone!" I haven't learned Burmese, but I remember these technical terms by heart.
Both Yansan and Yang Zhao's are from the old pit species, and Yang Zhao's is from the Fu Lu Shou species.
"Wow, la la la," the shopkeeper pointed at Ling Qingyu, implying that he is not a profiteer.
"Come again!" Ling Qingyu threw another handful of copper coins to the shopkeeper, and I couldn't believe it!
Seeing the anger on her face, Yan San and Yang Zhao also picked a few pieces.
Therefore, Ling Qingyu carefully selected from the pile of stones, all of which were stones, and what Yan San and Yang Zhao took out at random were different types of jadeite. There are also a few pieces of old pit glass and a piece of top-quality black jade, but they are not big in size and very small.
Ling Qingyu didn't believe in evil, so he fought again. At this time, Ye Shiyi and a few children wandered back and saw her sweating profusely and flushed face, so they also exchanged the few copper coins they had left for stones.
The result is tragic!
Ling Qingyu finally came up with a Youqing, and Ye Shiyi and the others all came out, and Ye Shiyi also came up with a top-quality all-green dragon seed.
