Liuqiu has a narrow area and scarce resources, and some of the remaining commodities on the Great Song Dynasty fleet have become fragrant and sweet, and the enthusiasm of the people makes the fleet unable to parry, as long as it is something that can be bought, even a pot will be bought.

Cai Boyu was still a merchant after all, and he almost ordered the fleet to take out everything that could be bought, and the people who begged for it would not bargain, and the crystal cane sugar squeezed from sugar cane, dried fish caught in the East China Sea, and even huge pearls would be exchanged.

This made many sailors blush, after all, it was a bit unreasonable to exchange a box of tea for two round pearls......

In their opinion, the people of Liuqiu were sincere and warm, and even invited the soldiers to live in their homes, and the soldiers who ate seafood, scallops, tuna, sea urchins, crabs, abalone, etc., were very addicted.

Xia Zhu looked at Cai Boyu's appearance and shook his head slightly: "All these things are given to the people of the Ryukyus, and the pearls can be left with the two largest and roundest, and it doesn't matter if the soldiers exchange them privately, but the things of the fleet must be given to the people of Liuqiu free of charge!" ”

Cai Boyu turned his head inexplicably and said, "Why is this?" Isn't it sold? ”

Xia Zhu sighed and said: "You don't understand, these things are probably all the net worth of the people of the Ryukyus, there is a shortage of materials here, and they must be the ones who suffer in such an exchange, how can I make the people of the subject country suffer if the Great Song Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire?" You should also know the national strength of Liuqiu in the past few days, see what is the way to make money here, and you will give an idea to the king of Liuqiu, the future exchanges between the two countries can not only rely on my Great Song reward, he also has to pay tribute. ”

Cai Boyu thought for a long time and said with a bitter face: "Liuqiu is too poor, the only thing I can get is cane sugar, I Cai Ji can wrap all these cane sugar, seafood can be dried into dried fish, I don't know if the people in Tokyo can get used to it, in fact, the best point is to use Liuqiu as a transit place for my Great Song Dynasty merchant ships, and even open a field in Liuqiu to become a trading place for seafarers." ”

Xia Zhu looked at Cai Boli in surprise, in the past, others said that no one in the Great Song Dynasty could outperform his business talent, Xia Zhu didn't believe it at first, but now he had to believe it, and a few simple words found a way out for Liuqiu.

Nodding slightly, Xia Zhu sighed and said: "This is very good, it can be regarded as finding a way out for the Ryukyu country, and the pearl can be regarded as a tribute to the country, even if the material is not good, it is also a tribute from the subordinate country to the official family." After a delay of more than a few months, we should go, and the old man wants to play the letter of state on the king of the Ryukyus! ”

There was some emotion in the front, but in the end, even the careless guards on the side could feel the joy in Xia Zhu's heart.

Cai Boyu pursed his lips, God is really not kind to Xia Zhu, a gust of wind actually blew the fleet to Liuqiu, otherwise why would he Xia Zhu have this qualification to obtain the right to go to Liuqiu?

Xia Zhu, who went to the Wa Kingdom this time, not only obtained the letter of state of the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, but even obtained the letter of state from the king of Liuqiu, which is simply a good thing to buy one get one free!

When I return to Tokyo City and talk about this adventure, I am afraid that I can envy a lot of Wenchen, which can be regarded as the destiny of heaven.

Cai Boli could imagine in his mind Xia Zhu's proud appearance after he went back......

The fleet slowly sailed away with the enthusiasm of the begging people, leaving a lot of supplies and Ryukyuan things on the shore, and finally the kind and upright soldiers of the Forbidden Army still left the things they had exchanged, and at most they took a small pearl or two back to make their mother-in-law happy.

The Heavenly Sun King looked at the vanishing fleet in the distance and turned his head to the old man in brocade and said, "I don't know if the Heavenly Empire can come again......

The old man smiled: "The king doesn't need to worry, the Celestial Empire has changed drastically and is no longer the appearance of the Great Sui, the words of the envoys of the Han family must be counted, the Song people and the Son of Heaven love things, and he will definitely not abandon the flow and ask for it, we just need to wait for the good news." ”

King Tiansun smiled bitterly and said: "But this time they left most of their possessions, and only took two pearls and left, how can such a vulgar thing be worthy of the emperor of the Heavenly Empire?" ”

"Your Majesty, the more this is the case, the more it shows that the kingdom takes care of me, I can't bear to take more things from the people, I can't bear to do anything to the royal family's goods, the king Song Tianzi may really be as kind to the people and love things as Xia Zhu said!"

The fleet has disappeared, and the King of Tiansun nodded slightly: "I heard that Song Tianzi is only two ten, but he has the atmosphere of a generation of holy masters, in Xia Zhu's mouth, this king has indeed seen a wise lord, I hope Song Tianzi will not forget to beg for ......"

Coincidentally, the fleet was almost blown back by the monsoon on the return journey, and it only took more than half a month to reach Haizhou in the Great Song Dynasty.

For Xia Zhu, this envoy will bring him honor, and for Cai Boyu, boxes of silver ingots are piled up like a small mountain, and can only be transported back to Tokyo from Caoyun, and the fleet has already set off from Haizhou, passing through Xuzhou and Yingtianfu, and there are special escorts along the way, and they will arrive in a few days.

Since they went together and went back together, Cai Boli faced Xia Zhu's temptation with a bitter face: "Cai boy, you will be in Tokyo City soon, are you hiding from the old man when you don't come out of the boat these days?" How are you thinking about the old man's affairs? ”

"Xia participates in politics, we have also experienced life and death, even if it is said that it is a year-old friendship, it is not an exaggeration, why embarrass me so much?" Since returning to the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Boyu has changed his name to Xia Zhu, and it is a basic etiquette to be commensurate with his official name.

There are no taboos in the outer land above the sea, and when you return to the Great Song Dynasty, you don't need Xia Zhu to speak, and you will definitely be troubled by Yushitai.

Xia Zhu took a sip and said, "Who is the New Year's friend with you?" You are making it clear that you let Ding Wei take advantage of the old man, you and I are a New Year's friend, he Ding Wei is your master, so I am not a head short of Ding Wei? ! ”

Cai Boyu decided not to speak, but looking at Xia Zhu's angry appearance, he still said: "I worship Ding Xianggong as a teacher, it is a matter of learning financial strategies, and there is nothing else, and this is the official family's dictation, if you can ask the official family to say that it doesn't matter with me." ”

Xia Zhu rolled his eyes: "What do you think?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? The two ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are your masters, and what you think is too beautiful. ”

Cai Boyu shook his head: "Then I can't help it, so I can only worship Ding as a teacher." ”

Xia Zhu rolled his eyes: "You don't have to be excited, there are many good seedlings in the court, and the old man can't believe that he can't find someone stronger than you!" ”

Seeing Cai Boli rushing into the cabin as if he had been amnestied, Xia Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Where can I find such a good one, who can not only talk to the official family, but also the captain of the horse invited by the court......"

The ships were much slower than the seagoing ships, and they had to make detours, and the silver ingots on board slowed down the boats.

When the fleet sailed to Yingtianfu, Cai Boli hurriedly went ashore, and Xia Zhu exclaimed again and again: "Cai Xiaozi can't go ashore until he arrives in Tokyo City, you are the deputy envoy of the mission, and it is a rule that people do not leave the ship......"

Cai Boyu turned his head and said: "What rules, my lady is here, and she is still bringing a little girl, do you think I can't go?" ”

"Don't say it's your lady, it's just ...... Princess Changle?! Go and go back, you kid must be on board when the fleet enters Tokyo's Nishisuimun Gate! ”

Cai Boyu waved his hand backwards without looking back, and rode away, nothing is important at this time, only his wife and children are his everything, and it has been a year since he went to sea unconsciously......
