On the opposite side of the sea in Tong'an, Quanzhou, Fujian, it is very close to Xiamen Island. Xiamen is very close to the small Kinmen Island, and a little more out, the big Kinmen Island.

If you go out of Kinmen again, it is the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan Strait, and the Penghu Islands are opposite the Taiwan Strait, and the Taiwan Island is the Taiwan Island. During the Great Song Dynasty, the island of Taiwan was called Liuqiu, and this name is controversial, and the later island of Okinawa was also called Ryukyu. Streams and Ryukyus. Jiannan's poems, including Lu You, also have this name.

The name of Taiwan was not seen in the history books until the Chongzhen year of the Ming Dynasty.

The Quanzhou Port of the Great Song Dynasty is also known as the Port of Thorn Tung, which has been mentioned many times in Marco Polo's travels, and the reason why Quanzhou is called Thorn Tung Port? The poet of the Song Dynasty, Lu Zao, has a poem "The clouds of the Fujian Sea surround the thorn tree, and the city outline was sealed for whom in previous years", which means that Quanzhou is full of thorn paulownia.

From Quanzhou Port to the south, the first to arrive is actually the big Kinmen, and then to the small Kinmen, because Tong'an actually has a bay here, and the bay is Xiamen and the three islands of Kinmen.

And the Pu family is now settled in Xiaojinmen temporarily, and it won't be long before they will really move into Quanzhou City and become a wealthy giant in Quanzhou, and they can occupy half of the most prosperous streets in Quanzhou City.

Gan Qi who went to sea by boat for the first time, even if he sailed south along the coastline for more than 100 miles, Gan Qi also had a feeling of vomiting, seasickness is really unreasonable, even if the sea looks calm, even if everything feels good when he gets on the boat, seasickness still comes as scheduled.

Gan Qi is okay, but he feels a little bit, Gan Ba Zhou Tong and the others can't stand steadily, and their footsteps are beginning to float. For these northern men, if they hadn't followed Gan Qi to Quanzhou, they probably wouldn't have seen what the sea looked like in this life.

On the contrary, the children of the Cai family did not feel it and were accustomed to it. This is also the reason why Gan Qi had to take twenty or thirty Cai family children to travel with him this time.

Everything must be cautious, Gan Qi expected the situation of Gan Ba Zhou Dong and other northern men going to sea for the first time, if Pu Zhi has bad intentions at this time, no matter how high the wall of Gan Ba Zhou Dong's martial arts is, he will become a soft-footed shrimp on this sea boat. On the contrary, it is these men of the Cai family who are actually Gan Qi's real guards at this time.

Gan Ba was already lying on the side of the boat and vomiting, and while vomiting, his mother Lieri said: "Damn, Lao Tzu can gallop on a horse now, but he has become like this when he sits on a boat." ”

Looking at the group of ironclad men lying on the side of the ship, Gan Qi smiled: "Just sit a few more times, just sit a few more times." ”

Pu Zhigao on the side also said: "Willing to forgive sins, this sea is difficult for manpower to resist, and the only way to adapt is to adapt." The villain is also helpless. ”

Pu Zhigao explained, but he was afraid that Gan Qi would misunderstand that he had deliberately driven the boat wobbly.

"It doesn't matter." Gan Qi didn't care, and asked again: "How long will it take to go and beg for this?" ”

Pu Zhigao replied: "When the wind is good, a few hours is enough, and there is nothing good to go to, but there are some fishermen in Penghu who settle down and go to Penghu Island, which is much closer." ”

"Asking for no one?" Gan Qi was a little puzzled that he didn't know much about Taiwan's ancient history. It stands to reason that the Chinese have long discovered Taiwan, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent troops to Taiwan to rob the slave population.

"It's not that there is no one on the island, it's just that the island is full of natives, living in the mountains and forests in the middle of the island, they don't understand the language, and they don't have much production, so it's a barren land." Pu Zhigao is solving Ganqi's doubts.

Gan Qi was silent for a moment, his eyes looked to the east, in fact, he couldn't see Taiwan Island, but Gan Qi's thoughts were a little fluttering, Taiwan Island is not small, and it is not bad if there is no production, there are no big resources on the island, there are hundreds of millions of tons of coal, but the quality of coal is extremely poor and unusable. There is also some oil and gas, and the reserves are pitifully small.

In fact, Gan Qi does not know the details of the above, only knows that there are no mineral resources on the island of Taiwan. However, Gan Qi knows that there is a lot of things on the island of Taiwan, that is, natural sulfur, and the reserves are amazingly large, and the place with the largest natural sulfur reserves in China is located.

What is sulfur? Sulfur is the most important raw material for gunpowder.

There is also a good value of Taiwan Island, that is, the area of arable land is quite large.

Thoughts drifted away, and Gankey turned his gaze back from the east.

At this time, Pu Zhigao seemed to notice something, and said: "If Gan Xianggong wants to go and see, it is not difficult, when the wind is good, four hundred miles of sea, set off in the morning, and you can arrive in the middle of the afternoon." ”

Gan Qi shook his head and said, "I'm not that interested. ”

Gan Qi is really not interested in this now, Taiwan Island is not something to think about in front of him, and he can think about the sulfur there at most. It is not a simple matter to get sulfur there, and it is not easy to open a mine in a barren land.

The ship passed through the Great Golden Gate and finally arrived at the Little Golden Gate.

Gan Qi actually didn't have any important purpose in going to sea this time, just to take some of his people out to sea, take a boat, and feel the power of the sea. By the way, let's take a look at what the Pu family's business in Xiaojinmen looks like.

When he really arrived at Xiaojinmen, Gan Qi was also a little happy, he thought that since the Pu family regarded Xiaojinmen as a base camp, they would definitely build a large number of buildings and forts on Xiaojinmen. If the Pu family built a fortress in Xiaojinmen, it would be really a troublesome thing, and if one day they really had to do it, the fort would also be a big problem.

When I really looked at the island, there was not even a decent building on the island.

From this point, Gan Qi could see that the Pu family had never thought of living on this small island for a long time.

Speaking of which, how could the wealthy Pu family be willing to live on this deserted island for a long time? There is nothing to ask for here, even the most basic daily necessities have to be transported by ship, and you can't buy a piece of fabric to make clothes, where can you compare to Quanzhou City?

On the island, there is nowhere to spend money. For this kind of family, which has been rich for several generations, it is certainly not a long-term solution.

But why do the Pu family still suffer on the island now?

Gan Qi figured out this problem, that is, the Pu family did not have a sense of security, and felt that they had not really gained a foothold in Quanzhou, so they rushed into the city for fear of what happened.

After getting off the boat, Pu Zhigao led the way in front of his head, and said: "Gan Xianggong forgives his sins, the villain is really shabby here." ”

Gan Qi nodded, the roads on this island were all muddy, Gan Qi didn't care, only smiled: "Tu Qiu, I actually arranged you in such a wild place, but it is also embarrassing for you Pu clan." ”

Pu Zhigao explained: "It wasn't arranged by him, it was the villain himself who asked for this piece of land, just as a temporary place to stay." ”

Ganchi said, "What is there to stay here?" It's not that you Pu family have no money, wouldn't it be better to go to Quanzhou City to buy a few big mansions than here? ”

Pu Zhigao naturally didn't say what he thought in his heart, but smiled and said: "The villain has this intention, and is sending people to look for it in the city, and it is difficult to find a suitable big house. ”

"Just buy a few more." Gan Qi said casually.

"It also depends on luck, it is rare to meet many people selling houses."

"Adding money is, adding more money, how can anyone still have trouble with money?"

"Hey...... Thank you for the call, villain. ”

"What? Can't afford the money? ”

"If you are willing to live and work in peace and contentment, how can you be reluctant to give up money?"

Gan Qi smiled and said no more. Looking back, Ganba Zhou Tong and the others were still dizzy and vomiting on the boat just now, and when they went ashore, they were immediately alive again, and the physical fitness of these men was nothing to say.

This place where the Pu family lives is more like a small mountain village in the south, with small wooden houses one by one, mostly covered with thatch, and not many covered with tiles.

A low tiled house, the area is not small, it can be regarded as the main house of the Pu family, if you really want to talk about these Pu family, in fact, they are not all foreigners, many are more like mixed-race children, after going to sea and drifting for several generations, it is normal for many mixed-race children to be mixed. However, Pu Zhigao looks like a foreigner, and there are many people who are the same as Pu Zhigao, and there is no change in appearance.

Entering the main house, Gan Qi sat down in the middle, and the Pu family was also busy everywhere, preparing a banquet to entertain the guests.

Gan Qi chatted with Pu Zhigao again: "Now this Pu family, you are in charge?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, small things are decided by villains, and some big things have to be discussed with everyone." Pu Zhigao replied.

When Gan Qi heard this, he understood that Pu Zhigao was the one who could really call the shots, and he was the leader of the Pu family, so he said, "What about your daughter?" ”

Gan Qi suddenly said such a sentence, Pu Zhigao was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I'm going to call here, Xianggong wait." ”

Gan Qi smiled and nodded, the reason why Gan Qi suddenly said such a thing may be because he had some plans in his heart. Pu Zhigao, or the Pu family, is now living here temporarily because of insecurity.

How can Pu Zhigao feel safe and then take the Pu family into the city?

Gan Qi had some plans temporarily, how could he fool the Pu family into the city. Because of Ganqi now, if he really wants to do something to the Pu family, and the Pu family lives on this island, Ganqi is really helpless, because Ganqi has no fleet.

Even if Ganchi had a fleet, Ganchi was not sure to beat Po Chi Gao at sea. Even if it's a sneak attack, it's not a safe strategy. Speaking of which, the land is Ganchi's territory, as long as there is a water, it is the world of Pu Zhigao.

Gan Qi had to fool Pu Zhigao to settle in Quanzhou City, and above the land and sea boundaries of Quanzhou, there was no room for such a powerful character as Pu Zhigao. Otherwise, where is the face of Ganda Zhizhou?

Gan Qi is not just as simple as suppressing Pu Zhigao, Gan Qi wants to take over Pu Zhigao's forces completely, so he must have a foolproof strategy and completely control the Pu family.

Gan Qi had never taken the matter of Pu Zhigao's daughter to heart before, and he didn't even think about it in this direction.

However, at this time, Gan Qi took Pu Zhigao's daughter seriously and regarded it as a way to dispel Pu Zhigao's vigilance.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Pu Zhigao come back, and Gan Ba on the side laughed and said, "Big brother, isn't this guy without a daughter?" Going to give birth to a daughter temporarily? ”

Gan Ba was joking, but Gan Qi said: "Xu is that girl's family is unwilling." ”

Gan Qi guessed correctly, Pu Zhigao came in with his daughter, and the girl covered her face with a scarf, revealing only a pair of panicked eyes, which were slightly red, probably crying.

This girl was forced out.

Pu Zhigao was also afraid that Gan Qi would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Gan Xianggong, and watch the little girl dance for Xianggong." ”

There was some huqin music, and the girl kept turning in circles in front of Ganqi, and her arms, waist, and shoulders kept making various movements, even her head.

The little skirt was brought up by the rotating body, revealing white legs and feet, and there were some small bells on the body, which was very beautiful.

Hu Xuan Dance, this swirl word, that is, turn. It is the whirling dance of the Hu people, in fact, this kind of dance, since the Tang Dynasty, has not been seen for hundreds of years.

In fact, Gan Qi has seen this kind of dance, and there is a shadow of this dance in the Xinjiang dance of later generations, and there is also a shadow of this dance in Indian dance.

If you want to talk about Persia, in fact, I didn't believe in that sect, but after the Sassanid Empire was destroyed by the Arabs, the Persians began to believe in that sect. When the Sassanid Dynasty fell, it was the height of the Tang Dynasty, and the last prince of the Sassanid Dynasty came to the Tang Dynasty for help.

Gan Qi watched the little girl's dance, and Pu Zhigao also introduced on the side: "Xianggong, this is the little girl Pu Shir, Hill is a Persian name, seventeen years old this year, innocent, and unmarried." She is the most beautiful girl in my Pu family. ”

Gan Qi understood, so he nodded: "Well, yes, this dance is even more extraordinary, during the Tang Dynasty, literati and artists like to watch the Hu Xuan Dance, and it is like this, it is beautiful." If you can see this kind of dance every day, it is also a great joy in life. ”

Ganchi is going to be a wicked man again.

Pu Zhigao was overjoyed, and said: "The little girl can not only dance, but also sing Persian tunes, and can also play musical instruments, all kinds of huqin, all of which are played very well. ”

Gan Qi smiled, but no longer answered, his face was a little stunned, he was stunned to see the beauty dancing, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he almost drooled when he saw it.

It's also embarrassing that Gan Qi acted so well.

Pu Zhigao was naturally more and more pleased, and got up to order the wine and food to come up, and there were all kinds of glow-in-the-dark glasses of grape wine. It's just that this house is a little shabby.

Gan Qi drank the wine of the Western Regions, glass after glass, and did not pretend to be drunk, and drank with great interest.

Gan Ba and Zhou Tong and the others didn't dare to drink more, and if they wanted to live here tonight, these two people didn't dare to drink more, so they had to take the ironclad soldiers to take turns guarding outside Ganqi's door, for fear that Ganqi would have a three-long and two-short thing.

Gan Qi drank a little frighteningly today, full of feasts, and those who came did not refuse, but he was able to go to the accommodation that had been arranged by himself.

When he got to the accommodation, Ganqi was not in a hurry to sleep, he didn't even take off his shoes, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Because he knew that there was another drama tonight, and he was waiting, and the great wicked man did not feel the slightest guilt, but was a little curious about what the girl named Pushir looked like.

Not long after Gan Qi sat down, Pu Zhigao's voice came from outside the door: "Has Gan Xianggong rested?" ”

The half-drunk Gan Qi replied, "What is the matter with the rest?" ”

"The villain thought that Gan Xianggong must have been served by someone to wash in the past, and the villain here is shabby, but there are also some hands, so he brought someone to serve Xianggong to wash." Pu Zhigao said.

Ganchi replied, "Come in." ”
