Ten days passed, and the mighty fleet finally sailed out of the Strait of Malacca and sailed into the vast Indian Ocean. The flotilla turned west and began the longest stretch of the sea.

The first mate said that the fleet could take a break on the island of Sri Lanka.

Liu Yong asked: Is there anything wrong with direct sailing? The first mate said no problem.

Liu Yong said: "Then speed up the voyage." ”

"Okay captain."

First mate Li Kui turned around and arranged for Zhang Fan to speed up.

The boredom of sailing at sea made Liu Yong want to speed up the voyage.

After sailing for another twenty days, this day encountered a storm since going to sea, although it was not very big, but it still made Liu Yong panic for a while.

When he saw the calm expression of the first mate Li Kui, he was not afraid. He knew that storms like this were common for sailors. No problem.

Yun'er was also scared, Su Erniang was good, after all, she was a person who had experienced fighting and witnessed life and death. There is a calm heart in the face of the danger in front of him.

She was not only calm, but also comforted the panicked Yun'er. Yun'er blushed, but she was not to blame, it would be strange if she was not afraid of a weak woman in this situation.

This storm is not big, it is not small, even a ship as big as Liu Yong is tossed and swayed in the waves.

First mate Li Kui asked Liu Yong and his wife to stay in the room, and the storm was no big problem.

But Liu Yong was still worried, after all, it was the first time he had experienced this situation. But in front of the two ladies, they could not show fear.

This storm can be regarded as a thrill. Although it was a long time, a whole night, when the sun rose the next day, everything on the sea was so quiet.

When Liu Yong, Su Erniang and Yun'er stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the sea, they all felt the same, and they all had a feeling of rebirth. And it seems that life is more cherished.

Liu Yong and first mate Li Kui chatted about last night's storm, Li Kui just laughed, saying that it was just pediatrics, and he had experienced no matter how big the storm was. And let Liu Yong rest assured that there are not many storms in this season, and the spring is the most. Moreover, Liu Yong's ship is so big that it can withstand the strongest storms.

Liu Yong was relieved when he heard this.

The rest of the voyage did not encounter any more storms, although it was also rainy and there were strong winds at sea, but it did not cause the ship to have the slightest turbulence.

After a steady voyage, it took nearly two months to finally enter the Persian Gulf.

First mate Li Kui told Liu Yong that he would be able to reach his destination in five or six days.

Liu Yong was very excited and could finally get off the boat. Su Erniang and Yun'er were also very happy. Because they actually want to go up to land more than Liu Yong, because they are all land animals!

Ha ha.

Five days later, Liu Yong's fleet docked at the port of Khomeini.

Liu Yong, Su Erniang and Yun'er couldn't wait to get off the boat, and Jia Gang handled the rest. And little Muhammad became Liu Yong's guide.

The port of Khomeini is a large seaport with an exotic atmosphere. This opened the eyes of Yun'er and Su Erniang. It is said that Persian beauties are beautiful, and Liu Yong saw that it was true.

They are all tall, deep-nosed, and have snow-white skin, which is very visually striking.

But Liu Yong is not here to see Persian beauties, but to do business.

Little Muhammad was very familiar with this place, and asked Liu Yong what grade of inn he wanted to live in, Liu Yong smiled and said, "Isn't the room on my big ship high-end enough?" ”

Little Muhammad was embarrassed, he had forgotten the luxury of Liu Yong's room.

Liu Yong told little Muhammad that he would only lead them on a tour of this foreign land.

Little Muhammad knew all the good things to eat and do in this port. On this day, Liu Yong didn't do anything else, but let Muhammad lead him to play and eat everywhere. Although this Persian food is not very similar to Liu Yong, Yun'er and Su Erniang's appetite, I still think it is very interesting.

Naturally, this place is not as good as Lin'an City, let alone Lin'an City, and even the Great Song Dynasty can find a state city at random than here. The earthy yellow color at a glance here, and the house has a dome on it, Liu Yong knows that this is the characteristic of *** architecture, and of course, it is also a European architectural style.

The whole city looks very chaotic, there are no rules, and you can still see the Romans. And blacks, in short, all kinds of people, etc.

Little Muhammad told Liu Yong not to come out at night, because the law and order here are very chaotic.

Liu Yong smiled, he had a wife with strong martial arts by his side, what was he afraid of? But in such a chaotic city, he won't come out if he comes out to play.

When you see this city, you will know that the Great Song Dynasty was a highly developed country. If you look at the buildings of Lin'an Mansion, look at the streets of Lin'an Mansion, and then look at the clothing and food of the people of Lin'an Mansion, this port is a small village.

But since it's a foreign country, it's still a bit fresh. And you can see a lot of Great Song people here, and they are very cordial to each other.

The next day, when he was catching up with a fleet to return to the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Yong immediately met the captain of the fleet and asked him to carry a letter back. When the captain learned that Liu Yong was the former prime minister, and saw that Liu Yong's fleet was several times that of him, he was full of reverence, and immediately invited Liu Yong to a meal.

Liu Yong told him to bring the letter. Then the captain asked Liu Yong to rest assured.

At the wine table, Liu Yong asked him how the deal was going this time. The captain said that as long as the goods can be pulled here from Da Song, it is two words: make money.

Sure enough, the cargo of Liu Yong's dozens of boats was swept away by large and small camel caravans and horse convoys in just three days.

Liu Yong got 500,000 taels of gold in exchange. This gold is more than what he has earned in ten years, Liu Yong sighed, it is true that the greater the investment, the greater the risk, and the greater the profit.

After deducting the money of the 100 ships and the wages of the sailors, the profit of this time was a pure 100,000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to 1 million taels of silver. That's a million dollars.

It's really a lot of money.

Jia Gang asked Liu Yong to bring back some goods.

Liu Yong did not agree, because he really had nothing to bring back except for some carpets and some silver tableware. In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, these things are not very popular.

And Liu Yong wants to return by light ship, he has to go to inspect several islands, and it is also a burden to bring goods.

However, Jia Gang still suggested that Liu Yong bring some work back, how could he offset the wages of some sailors.

Liu Yong thought about it again, but at least he was afraid that those goods would delay his inspection activities.

Jia Gang suggested again: "The owner, I can take a few cargo ships back to the Great Song Dynasty first, and it is good to earn some travel expenses for the owner." ”

This suggestion is good, and Liu Yong agreed.
