Hoarding is not good for the purchase and sale of goods, this truth is not that no one understands, but no one is willing to take the initiative to reduce prices, supply goods to the market, and want to sell them at a high price and sell them slowly in the future.

After all, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty are not available every year, and they are not available if they want to. Just like the last time, after a few hundred years, goods from the East came back to Seljuk, and they rushed to buy them and sell them quickly, thinking that new goods would soon come from the sea, but this wait was eight years, and who knows how many years after the fleet left this time and came back next time.

For them, the exquisite goods of the Great Song Dynasty are worth keeping for a long time and using them slowly, rather than quickly cashing out like other goods, because the total amount of the Great Song Dynasty goods is limited, and it is difficult to have them again within a certain period of time once they are sold out, unless they personally send a fleet to the sea to the east to find the Great Song Dynasty, but almost no one can afford that kind of risk.

Yang Congyi is not too worried about how the goods are sold now, as long as the merchants are still exchanging and buying at the port, the fleet can finally trade all the goods and exchange them for Western goods, gold, silver, jewelry and other things, and their purpose of coming to Seljuk has been achieved.

As for the next time the fleet comes again, the local businessman will continue to hoard and buy a lot of Great Song goods, which is not his concern at present, if it is really at that time, the goods of the fleet are not easy to sell in Seljuk, then he can only continue to the west and abandon the Persian Gulf, after all, there is still a vast area in the Red Sea in the west.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was late February, and after Yang Congyi entered the palace to bid farewell to the old king, he took the mission and returned to Basra soon under the escort of the cavalry sent by the king.

In Basra, the mission was given a more solemn welcome by the governor of the capital, who gave him a few days of warm reception, and Yang Congyi was able to leave under the pretext that the fleet was about to return to the camp.

After two months of busy unloading and loading, the whole deal is nearing its end, with only five or six ships of cargo left in the fleet.

Judging from the merchants who are still waiting at the port, it will take three or two days for these goods transactions to be completed.

According to the established schedule, the fleet must leave within half a month.

After consulting with Tang Xun, Lu You, Yao Chang, Pan Cheng and others, the return date was determined, and then the whole army was ordered to start inspecting the ships, replenishing fresh fresh water and logistics supplies, and making final preparations before leaving.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the first month of March, the first warship left the port.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the eyes of the Seljuk princes and nobles and wealthy businessmen who had arrived from Baghdad, Basra, and other places, Yang Congyi and others boarded the huge Shenzhou, sounded a trumpet, and left the shore.

The Great Song fleet, laden with goods, slowly left the Persian Gulf, and then sailed all the way south, day and night, all the way to the southeast.

Half a month later, the fleet saw the continent in front of it from a distance, and it was not somewhere else, it was the southernmost state of Chuluo in Tianzhu.

After two days of resting at the shore and replenishing fresh water, the fleet set sail again, continued southward, rounded Ceylon, and then sailed straight due east, day and night, at full speed.

After five days, the fleet began to slow down, sailing at full sail during the day, and as soon as the sun went down, the mainsail was completely lowered and the auxiliary sail was lowered by half.

Judging from the distance and speed, the fleet is already close to the South Sea, and the field of vision at night is limited, and if it hits the reef or runs aground on the beach, the ship behind cannot avoid it, and a collision will be a great disaster.

A few days later, news came from the pilot warships in front that they had seen land and were determining their position and adjusting their course.

After that, the fleet adjusted its course to the north five degrees, entered the Strait of Malacca from the northern tip of the island, and headed for the "Nanyang Governor's Office".

After sailing for a few days, it joined the fleet led by Shen Jin from Tianzhu and joined at the port where the governor's mansion was located.

On this trip, both fleets returned to Nanyang smoothly, and naturally they were overjoyed, and all of them celebrated in the governor's mansion and rested for five days.

During this period, Yang Congyi took Xue Wang, the governor of Nanyang, to Zhanbei again to meet the king of Srivijaya, and asked him to support the "Nanyang Governor's Mansion", and bluntly said to him that the existence of the Governor's Mansion is beneficial to the royal family, and the Srivijaya royal family now has a general canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, and the exchanges between the two countries are also very frequent and the relationship is stable. And the most important thing is that the location of the governor's palace is far away from Zhanbei, which is an area that is difficult for the royal family to control, with the governor's mansion, the three major families will not cause trouble for no reason, as long as they work together with the governor's office, the royal power of the three major families will be able to be stabilized, and the power that was robbed by the three major families a hundred years ago will gradually return to the royal family.

Almost half of the power of the royal family was recaptured by the Great Song Dynasty fleet when it first went south, and the hero was Yang Congyi.

The king is a smart man, and the location of the governor's mansion is the territory of the three major families, and the royal family cannot interfere at all. So he immediately assured that the governor's office would not shirk if it was needed.

Yang Congyi and Xue Wang were very happy to receive this reply, so that they could really gain a firm foothold in Nanyang, lay a foundation, and make it more convenient to plan for long-term development.

After resting for five days, replenishing fresh water and grain and grass, the fleet was integrated, and the original formation returned north downwind to Champong.

Before leaving the former Nanyang, the Hui Yi Department left a batch of Western goods to the "Nanyang Governor's Office" as the maintenance fund of the Governor's Office, which was a huge amount of money for Xue Wanghe and the people left behind, even if the Hui Yi fleet left them alone for three or five years, they could still survive well and complete the task of garrisoning Nanyang.

The fleet of 100 seagoing ships lined up in a long line, sailing northward with the wind, carefully passing through the stone pond of 10,000 miles, taking advantage of the wind to speed back north, and in a few days they arrived at Champa and anchored in the harbor under the jurisdiction of the "Nanhai Governor's Office" to replenish grain, grass and fresh water.

On behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Congyi visited the King of Champa and Mr. Zhang again, and expressed to them the gratitude of the Great Song Dynasty and his personal gratitude to them.

Before the fleet left, he met with Zhang Biao, and also left him an asset, and at the same time instructed him to run the "South China Sea Governor's Office" well, and when the number of people increased and the strength grew, it would develop into a 10,000-person navy and firmly occupy the Nanyang periphery, hoping that the Governor's Mansion could eventually become the fourth force beyond Champang, Zhenla and Li Yue, and safeguard the interests of the Great Song Dynasty and the Hui Yi Office.

He also told him that the governor's office did not have to be obsessed with only recruiting Han people, as long as he was willing to be under the jurisdiction of the governor's office, whether it was Zhancheng, Zhenla or Li Yueren, they could all be recruited and properly managed.

Nanyang and the South China Sea are far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court does not have much interest in these places, don't look at their support for the southward return to Yi, what they fancy is just a few overseas properties, these products are of course very good, even if they are not, there is no harm to the Great Song Dynasty and the people, in a word, it is dispensable.

The imperial court could even abandon the land of several states west of Guangnan on the grounds of inconvenient management, where would they look at Nanyang, the only land they could really see in their eyes would always be Liangzhejiang, Jianghuai, Jinghu and Sichuan-Shaanxi, and almost no one paid attention to other places, all of which were places of exile.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Congyi dared to make his own assertions, set up the South China Sea, Nanyang and Tianzhu, three governors' offices, and left thousands of people to build a stronghold to serve the Huiyi fleet.

Once the three governor's offices are completed, the Hui Yi fleet will not need so many escorts to accompany it when it goes south, and it will be more convenient to supply along the way.

According to Yang Congyi's expectations, if this return goes smoothly and the task of returning to Yi is completed, then the next return will inevitably be presided over by him, and he has to spend some effort and make some preparations.

Because in the entire Great Song Dynasty, except for him, Tang Xun and Shen Jin, there is no one who can successfully return to Yi twice, and Shen Jin has no official status, so it is impossible to preside over the return of the court in a white body, and Tang Xun has already had the intention of retiring, except for him, there is no one who can take on the heavy responsibility of returning to Yi, after all, the lesson of Jiang Kai's fiasco in presiding over Hui Yi is in front of him.

After resting for a few days, the Huiyi fleet left the port and returned, the sails were fully open, day and night did not fall, and the wind returned north, and the four days and four nights arrived at Wanning, Qiongzhou, but the fleet did not rest here, and sailed straight to Guangzhou.

A few days later, the fleet arrived off the coast of Guangzhou, because there are countless islands and reefs outside the port of Guangzhou, it does not take much time for several ships to enter and exit, if the fleet wants to enter the port of Guangzhou as a whole, it is impossible to enter and exit without ten days and half a month.

As soon as the sails of the fleet were lowered, except for five ships full of cargo sailing to the port of Guangzhou, all the remaining ships were moored around the island outside the port, ready to leave the shore at any time and return north to Quanzhou.

Tang Xun personally landed in Guangzhou with five cargoes, and after visiting the old Zhizhou in Zhizhou Mansion, a letter about the smooth return of the Hui Yi fleet to the north was rushed to Lin'an for 800 miles.

The local wealthy and tycoons in Guangzhou also knew that the Huiyi fleet had returned under the deliberate propaganda of the state government, and the sea ships full of Western goods were moored on the riverbank of the port, waiting for everyone to buy.

When the news spread, Tang Xun immediately returned to the port to preside over the transaction.

As soon as the prices of various goods were announced, everyone was immediately overjoyed, because the prices announced this time were not much different from those of eight years ago, and some goods were even lower than the previous prices, and of course some prices had risen, but the price was not at all any resistance to the extremely rich and wealthy who were determined to buy them, not to mention that the fleet only sold five cargoes.

On the teahouse on the edge of the port, a group of businessmen quarreled endlessly, and because of the limited goods, they all wanted to fight for it and buy more from Tang Xun. After learning that there were more than 100 cargoes in the fleet, the direction of the wind changed, and they strongly demanded that more cargoes be transferred so that they could be distributed and satisfy their appetites.

However, how many goods to sell in Guangzhou was planned and allocated by the Huiyi Office for a long time, so how could it be easily changed.

After several entanglements, a lot of time, and finally agreed on a plan, draw lots to decide the order of purchase, buy first if you are lucky, buy after you are unlucky, if it is not the turn of a certain merchant to buy, five ships of goods have been sold, then you can only blame him for his bad luck.

Two days later, five empty ships departed, taking with them gold and silver ingots and banknotes.
