The buildings here are mostly made of stone, and it is a stone town.

Zhou Shiren came to a place in the city called the Boraka Rama Sea to play!

This is a man-made lake, which was expanded by their country, Emperor Prarakalamapakhu, on the original natural reservoir. The embankment is very high, roughly estimated to be six zhang. The length is not short, it is seven zhang long. The entire lake area is twice the size of the city, and it is quite extensive.

At this time, there are several richly decorated pleasure boats on the lake, and they are all richly dressed and dignitary. Zhou Shiren walked along the embankment and came to the large stone statue of the king.

I saw his hands holding in front of his chest, looking solemn and majestic. But compared with the stone statue of the Great Yuan Emperor that Kolamba saw, there was obviously something missing.

At first, he couldn't think of what was missing, but after looking at it for a while, he realized that the stone statue was less popular. However, it was Paragyalamapa who had already passed away, and the current Sinhalese lord was not his direct eldest grandson.

For this stone statue, it was neglected.

Not only did the Great Yuan people sacrifice flowers to their emperor and maintain them day by day, but they also allowed the stone statues to be covered with grass and moss. Some cracks that have been beaten by wind and rain for a long time are also densely covered with the whole body of the stone statue.

Later, he went to the Buddhist temple where the tooth of the Buddha Shakyamuni was enshrined to offer incense to the Buddha, so as to ask for a smooth sea route and bless himself to return to the Kingdom of Jin safely.

Of course, you also have to buy local specialties!

It is a gemstone of excellent quality and particularly beautiful color. In Dayuan, he often saw dignitaries wearing it. Like rings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, etc., you can set gemstones.

While he was shopping for goods in the capital of Sindh, Rahuor, he saw a wealthy merchant wearing a ring full of precious stones. Not only that, but they also wear jewel-encrusted ornaments on their necks and wrists.

But it's not cheap!

The better the workmanship, the more expensive it is. But the gemstones of Sinhala are very cheap, and rough stones are particularly common. In many gemstone shops, you can buy high-quality gemstones for half the money.

Then ask local craftsmen to help create the desired jewelry, and the cost is far less than that of Dayuan.

In the country of gold, these things are also very valuable!

After all, in terms of appearance, it is enough to make the relatives of those dignitaries and dignitaries excited. He suddenly found another treasure trove, so he hurried to buy some raw stones. Because of the large amount, the shopkeeper also gave him some discounts.

It's just that he didn't ask the local craftsmen to help drive out the jewelry, but thought about bringing it back and asked the craftsmen of the Jin Kingdom to help create a head. After all, he was not familiar with the local area and did not dare to trust the craftsmanship of the locals too much.

After spending more than a month in Sinhala, the fleet finally set sail again.

But to his surprise, this time the Dayuan Navy did not pass. According to well-informed sources, it was a step earlier to go to the barbarian kingdom of Yantuo, east of the island of Ceylon.

The specific location is in the Andaman Islands, which was an important transportation hub on the sea, and has always been a contention between Sriwijaya and Chola.

But now Sriwijaya and Chola have begun to decline, and it is difficult to control some remote areas. The rising Da Yuan of the alien star valued it, so he directly sent troops to occupy the Yantuo barbarian country. Now it has become one of the important maritime ports of Dayuan.

For Dayuan's strength, Zhou Shiren has become numb. Even if someone told him that Da Yuan occupied the entire Sriwijaya, he took it for granted.

After ten days and a half of sailing, the fleet arrived at the port of Allah one after another.

This is one of the three larger main islands of the former Yantuo Barbarian Kingdom, separated by a wide waterway, facing the archipelago named Nicobar by the Great Yuan to the south.

At this point, all merchant ships were no longer allowed to go east.

When Zhou Shiren heard the news, he was still very flustered at first. After all, half of the sea route was gone, and it took half a year. It was too much of a delay to turn back and go overland.

Fortunately, some crew members explained that Dayuan was fighting a naval battle with Sriwijaya, so in order to avoid accidental injury, it would take a while to pass.

No wonder the Dayuan Navy would escort the caravan all the way, but it was on the way to Sriwijaya to fight.

So Zhou Shiren, who was idle, walked around Allah Port to learn about the local customs. If you have something new to the local market, you can buy it.

However, because it was not built for a long time, Allah Port feels primitive and backward. Especially when I look at big cities like Malu, Puhua, and Rahuo'er, I feel that this is not even as good as the countryside.

Except for a few neat-looking buildings built on the wharf, the rest of the place is made of wood and thatched huts. Many of the savages who were captured to work as laborers were doing the heavy work of building the city walls under the supervision of the overseers.

These savages are more similar to Kunlunnu, and their complexions are the same as black. It's just that they're very skinny, a bit like monkeys in the forest. It is said that these wild people are found on nearby islands, and are aggressive by nature and cannibalistic.

For such a backward ethnic group, Da Yuan also contemptuously called them savages. Naturally, it is best used as labor.

There are not many people on the island, mainly the civilized Mantomans. The Sinhalese, Tamils, Chola and Srivijaya of Ceylon. The Muslims of Dayuan are the superior people here.

The soldiers and local officials were also Muslims.

While he waited for the fleet to set sail, the southern state of Srivijaya was in the country.

This is the country west of Sumatra, and the capital is the city of Nam Vuli. Later generations called it Aceh.

Due to the strength of the Srivijaya, the kingdom of Nanwuli has been subjugated to the Srivijaya for hundreds of years. It was not long ago that the small country's surrender to Srivijaya was shaken.

It was again a naval battle.

One of the warring parties was the Suzeraine state of Srivijaya, which was always considered a powerful country in Nam Vuli, while the other side was the kingdom of Khorasan from the homeland of the Great Food Country, west of the Chola Kingdom. (Khorasan had not yet changed its name at that time).

Although I have heard from the mouths of the Hui merchants in the past, the Khorasan Kingdom has destroyed countless countries, and it has not been defeated. But Khorasan is too far away from the country of Southern Vuli! And with the barrier of the sea, the people of Nanwuli still can't be afraid of Khorasan.

It wasn't until that time when the Khorasan navy rushed into Mangara, killing people and setting fires, that this small country realized the horror of Khorasan. Later, the Navy of Sriwijaya was defeated at sea, which made this small country no longer dare to have the slightest contempt for Khorasan.

So after the end of that war, the state of Nan Wuli sent envoys to Khorasan to pay tribute. It is also that they have realized that in the future, the master of this sea will change.

There are many small countries with the same mind as Nanwuli.

For example, on the other side of the South Wooli, such as Pahang, Kelantan, Riroting, Teng Yanong (Terengganu), Qianmai and other countries, they all sent envoys to Khorasan.
