Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

The reason for changing the warship into a merchant ship was mainly because they didn't want to be too conspicuous and thus leak the news.

Since the court established the Maritime Customs in four ports in Chuanhai and Cangzhou and vigorously developed overseas trade, countless merchants who smelled business opportunities have flocked to go out to sea to make money.

Today's overseas trade is already very mature.

Wei's merchant ships are now very common overseas.

The merchant ship that Chen Mo took had three floors in total.

In addition to the underground floor under the deck, the first floor was where the fish-scale guards lived, the second floor was where Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan and two maids lived, and the third floor was the command cabin.

At this moment in the command cabin, Nangong Xian took out a sea chart, spread it on the table, and told Chen Mo the route to the country of Bo Liu.

"Your Majesty, we need to reach Heluo via the East China Sea, then cross the Heluo Strait, and finally reach the trade route of Bo Liu," Nangong Xian said slowly.

Chen Mo didn't understand, and pointed to a sea area on the sea chart, saying: "From the map, if we pass through here, won't we be able to reach Boliu faster?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that this strait belongs to the New Porcelain Kingdom, which has no diplomatic relations with our Great Wei. If our ships pass through this strait, not only will they be charged high tolls, but it will also be difficult to guarantee safety."

"What about passing through this sea area? I think this sea area is closer than the Heluo Strait?" Yue Ruyan suddenly pointed to another area on the sea chart and asked in confusion.

"To reply to Empress Zhuang, there are many islands around this sea area, and there is no unified country. This has caused many pirates to breed in this sea area. These pirates are daring. No matter which country's ships pass through here, they will be robbed by them. They also raise many sea ghosts. If they encounter a giant ship that they can't deal with, they will send sea ghosts to dive under the giant ship, drill through the bottom of the ship, and let the giant ship sink. Even our Great Wei fleet has suffered from them." Nangong Xian explained.

"Can't even the navy of Wei deal with them?" Yue Ruyan asked what Chen Mo wanted to ask.

Nangong Xian sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Zhuang, these pirates' ships are small and fast, and they are very familiar with the sea here. Once our warships pass by, they will swarm and flee, making it difficult to catch up.

And their sea ghosts are very good at swimming. They can swim in the sea for more than an hour, and their skills are also very good. Our soldiers are no match for them underwater. In addition, our navy goes there with great fanfare every time, which costs a lot..."

Chen Mo understood what Nangong Xian meant.

In other words, if this group of pirates encounters a well-organized navy, he will not confront you head-on.

You hit me and I will run away. Not only that, but you also send sea ghosts to make trouble underwater.

And our soldiers, even if they are proficient in water, are not as good as these sea ghosts and cannot be caught at all.

After all this time, it costs so much and there is no effect, so we just bypass you directly.

Moreover, once warriors on land enter the water, especially deep water, they can exert 20% to 30% of their strength, which is good.

"General Nangong, what is this sea ghost?" Yue Ruyan asked curiously.

"They are one of the ethnic minorities living in this sea area. They have lived on the sea for generations and rarely set foot on land. It is said that they have gills behind their ears and can breathe in the water like fish. They are no longer considered human beings." Nangong Xian said.

Yue Ruyan was slightly surprised.

"Why doesn't Xinci country have diplomatic relations with our country?" Chen Mo frowned. If he could pass through the sea area of ​​Xinci country, it would obviously save more time than passing through the Heluo sea area. Passing through the Heluo sea area, it would take a long detour.

"Uh" Nangong Xian hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this has to start from decades ago, and this matter is related to the Nangong family."

At that time, the New Porcelain Kingdom had not yet been unified, and was called Porcelain Island. The Song Dynasty showed signs of decline and gradually lost its local power. At that time, along the coast of the Song Dynasty, especially in Chuanhai, many pirates came to harass the fishermen along the coast, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything.

And these pirates almost all came from Porcelain Island.

The Nangong family made their fortune at this time. The Nangong family reorganized this group of pirates and established a navy to develop overseas trade.

And if you want to develop overseas trade, you have to open up routes.

For this reason, they often confronted the Porcelain Kingdom, and therefore formed hatred.

After the unification of Porcelain Island, the New Porcelain Kingdom was established. The New Porcelain Kingdom attributed this hatred to the Song Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty.

Perhaps because they coveted the huge benefits of Wei's overseas trade, when Wei tried to establish diplomatic relations with New Porcelain, New Porcelain not only asked for a huge toll, but also wanted to participate in Wei's overseas trade.

"Ah? Where do they get such courage?" Yue Ruyan looked at the sea chart and compared with Wei, it was just a worm.

Yue Ruyan didn't know where New Porcelain got such courage.

In this regard, Nangong Xian said uncertainly: "Maybe it was because our own country was not peaceful at that time, and New Porcelain felt that we could not control them, so they dared to be so bold. And after all, we are doing business at sea, so we should not take action if we can, and peace is the most precious."

"You said before that the pirates who harassed the coast of the former dynasty came from Porcelain Island?" Chen Mo suddenly said.

Nangong Xian nodded.

Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "We inherited the previous dynasty. Since Porcelain Island killed the people of the previous dynasty, they killed the people of our Great Wei. If they have a grudge against the previous dynasty, they have a grudge against our Great Wei. So the New Porcelain Kingdom has a grudge against our Great Wei. Since we have a grudge, we must strike hard."

Chen Mo took a palm to the position of the new porcelain country on Haitu.

Isn't this a mountain that blocks the overseas trade of Dawei, and must be leveled.

When Nangong Xian heard this, he couldn't help but shock. His Majesty was to send troops to the new porcelain country.

Nangong Xian could not help but excite. If there was no obstacles to the new porcelain country, the city shipping department could make more silver every year.

It should be noted that every time the Dawei fleet goes out of sea, for at least one and a half years for voyage.

And if you open up this route of the new porcelain country, you can shorten the time of the ship's round trip.

It turns out that it can only go to sea twice in three years.

After the time is shortened, you can go to sea three times.

Once you go out of the sea, you can make more money once.

And this route, if it is established, it is also a cornucopia.

"I don't know when His Majesty intends to hit a blow?" Nangong couldn't help asking.

"It's not a trivial matter when we go back to the sea." Chen Mo's mind was determined. This is by no means just talking.

The Chen Mo Ship Team, walking with Luohai Division. As for the pirates, there are many pirates, named "Han Yang", Chen Mo intends to go back when he comes back.

The country on this route with Luohai Lord has either established diplomatic relations with the Dawei or comes to the Great Wei to carry out the tribute to the country.

The merchant ship was stopped at the port of a country, and when the supplies were supplemented by ashore.

The people in this country looked at Nangong's dress and appearance characteristics, and immediately recognized that they were the people of the oriental power, and they were extremely excited.

Of course, the reason for their excitement is that from their opinion, the people in the oriental power have money, especially those who can trade maritime, which is very, very rich.

A local vendor wearing a headscarf and a developed chest, a basket of green fruits on his head, came to Chen Mo and his party.

Yue Ruyan didn't understand the local dialect, and asked Nangong Xian to ask what it meant. In this trip, Nangong Xian brought "translation". Nangong Xian asked the translation again, and then told Yue Ruyan: "Zhuang Fei Niang, he said that he said that he would see the previous one. Bang, want to sell his fruit to us "." "."

"What kind of fruit is this?"

"Oil pear." Nangong presented.

"Oil pear? One kind of pear? Is it delicious?" Yue Ruyan never saw this fruit.

"General." Chen Mo said, this was known as the fruit of oil pear. In Chen Mo, he was called avocado. Anyway, he didn't like to eat it.

"Her Majesty has eaten?" Yue Ruyan was stunned for a while, she remembered that the fruit did not give up to the palace.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"Uh, I have eaten it before." Chen Modao.

"oh."

Yue Ruyan didn't chase the roots, let Chen Mozai get over.

"Do you want to taste one?"

Nangong Xian had eaten it. It was a bit greasy to have the name of oil pear.

You know, only the delicious fruits will record it, and the next time you sail, you will buy more.

Only delicious melon fruits will be tribute to the court.

But it is not good for the moon to eat.

Nangong Xian took one from the basket, wiped it with his clothes, and wiped it with a knife along the outer skin, twisted into half a half, and went to the nuclear.

He did not give it directly to Yue Ruyan, but first gave the accompanying maid to make the maid to Yue Ruyan.

Yue Ruyan gave Chen Mo half of them.

After Chen Mo took it, he said: "Its skin is bitter, don't eat it, just eat fruit."

After speaking, Chen Mo took a bite.

It is avocado, the taste is the same as the avocado in previous lives.

A faint egg yolk flavor, slightly sweet.

I don't like to eat in previous lives, and the same is true in this life.

Yue Ruyan learned Chen Mo, and tasted it, and then whispered: "The taste is strange."

"Do you like to eat?" Chen Modao.

Yue Ruyan shook his head.

"Buy it all, you can take it back to the palace and let them try it all."

If Chen Mo remembers correctly, the nutritional value of avocado is relatively high.

After a simple purchase, when Chen Mo and his party returned to the boat, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of local women.

After translation.

It is learned that this group of women hopes that Chen Mo's fleet can take them away, and even the kind of dedication to dedication.

Yue Ruyan was shocked after listening.

The prostitutes have to collect money.

"Go! Go! Go."

Nangong Xian asked people to drive them away, and then laughed at Chen Mo: "Your Majesty, my great state, in these small countries, but very fragrant. At the expense of being a servant, it is not even as good as the slave.

The most important thing is that their government also encourages this behavior. "

There is a saying that the moon is like a smoke, and the Nangong is not easy to say.

That is, as long as you show that you are the people of Dawei, the woman here will take the initiative to post it. you.

And this, the biggest credit is attributed to a book.

To let the people in a country want to see other peoples, you have to promote it, especially small countries overseas.

More than three years ago, a small and well -known ranger Lu Yan had followed the fleet of Wei Wei to Zhongzhou.

Although the Wei Dynasty had just been established and everything was in ruins, it inherited the foundation of the previous dynasty for nearly 400 years. Lv Yan was in the capital, the most developed and populous city in Zhongzhou.

Take the houses with carved beams and painted rafters, for example, which were not available in small overseas countries. Lv Yan was amazed when she saw all of this.

After traveling in the capital for half a year and experiencing the local humanities and customs, Lv Yan wrote a travelogue of Lv Yan's travels in Zhongzhou as soon as she returned to her country. After it was published, it became popular all over the country.

Under Lv Yan's boasting, the Wei Dynasty became a country full of gold in the eyes of the people of this country. The people of this country are more superior than those of other countries.

In addition, the Wei Dynasty is the superior country of this country, so they all feel honored to leave the race of the Wei people.
