On the third day, someone came to the shop, and with Mary's consent, it was three hundred gold coins. The weight of two hundred taels of gold. This is already a lot of wealth for a lonely little girl.

Liu Yong asked Mary to put away the gold. Mary would like to dedicate herself to Liu Yong and thank Liu Yong for doing these things for her. Liu Yong didn't want it, but said to Maria jealously: "Miss Maria, just look at my big ship and fleet, do you think I will lack you these gold coins?" ”

Mary said, "You don't lack it, but it is my heart." ”

Liu Yong said: "If you don't like it, you can keep this gold for yourself, and you will take it from me for your ordinary use in the future." ”

These dialogues were translated by Muhammad Jr. 1510 to Maria and Liu Yong.

Finally, Liu Yong said: "Little Muhammad, when the fleet has set sail and there is nothing to do, you will teach Mary to speak the words of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Okay master, I remember." Muhammad Jr. replied.

The finishing of the fleet is also coming to an end, and it is ready to set sail. Maria's mood gradually improved as the fleet set sail.

Ouyang Lanlan and Yun'er accompany Maria every day, and Su Erniang is responsible for accompanying Liu Yong, Su Erniang usually doesn't talk much, and she doesn't understand the language with Maria, and after saying a word, Muhammad has to translate, and she can't bear her quick temper. And Liu Yong also needs someone to accompany him.

Mary was sad, but her maid was not so sad. When she arrived on the Eternal, she was simply stunned. The sight of this behemoth on the shore is shocking enough. I didn't expect to get on this boat and feel the hit of this boat even more.

On this long deck, your legs are slightly sore when you get tired when you walk back and forth.

What surprised the maid even more was the bottom of the cabin, especially the side where Liu Yongzhu lived, in her eyes, it was simply a palace of a palace, and it was simply luxurious.

The maid's name was Lena, twenty-two years old, with an ordinary appearance and a strong physique. You can do all the hard work. He is also very kind and honest. Liu Yong is also very relieved of Maria's maid. On this ship, she was the only one who could go with Maria. Liu Yong asked little Muhammad to tell the maid Lena to take good care of Maria, and if Maria was not used to eating the food of the Great Song Dynasty, let Lena cook it for Maria alone.

For this reason, before the fleet set sail, Liu Yong also asked Lena to go to the market to buy some ingredients that Westerners love to eat, purchase a lot, put them on the supply ship, and cook them for Maria when she has nothing to do.

This made Maria feel a little embarrassed, she didn't expect this handsome Oriental man to be so kind to her. She didn't know how to thank Liu Yong. I had to come to Liu Yong every day to say goodbye. Of course, in the West it is not called "Greetings".

Rather, it's called a courtesy visit, and it's also a way to thank someone.

On a sunny winter day, Liu Yong's fleet began a new journey. Headlong into the south, towards the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point of Africa.

Since the fleet set sail, Maria's mood has changed dramatically, probably because of the departure from the port of Khomeini, a place that made her sad.

At this time, she stood at the stern of the ship, looking out at the port of Khomeini, which was getting farther and farther away. Although it was a sad city, it was the city she had lived in for five years. She had been here with her father and brother since she was twelve years old, and she was supposed to come with them

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

Mother, but her mother contracted the Black Death cholera in Europe and died in Europe. And Mary's father came here with his children to escape the disaster, and he had no intention of doing business.

Later, when he saw that the business here was still very good and profitable, he took his two sons and started a business selling oriental goods to the Roman Empire.

Mary's two brothers, one four years older and the other two years older, were children when they came. In order to be able to ensure safety on the road. Maria's father sent his two sons to learn swordsmanship.

But in the end, fate was unexpected.

This is in line with the old saying in ancient China, how can you stand by the river without getting your shoes wet!

This time, Maria lost three relatives, which can be described as a pain of scraping bones and flesh, but fortunately, there are still her friends who are willing to take her in.

In this way, her dream of going to the Great Song Dynasty is not far away.

At this time, Maria, who was standing in the stern of the boat, did not know whether she should be happy or sad.

If you are sad, you should be happy.

The fleet has been sailing for a month, and in a few days it will pass through the waters of Somalia. The pirates there are famous.

The reason why no one dares to sail south along the African continent is because of Somali pirates. In one place, the African continent is an inaccessible road, North Africa is a desert, and Central Africa is a plateau and a rift valley, even if the land route from North Africa to South Africa is an impossible task.

And at that time, there were a lot of wild animals, such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, pythons, poisonous snakes, and such ferocious carnivores were almost all over central and southern Africa.

Even if the mountains and rivers can't stop you from moving forward, these fierce beasts won't let you go on as needed.

It is precisely because of the harsh environment on land and the wanton beasts of prey, coupled with the pirates at sea, that no one has ever been to the central and southern parts of Africa.

In those days of scarcity of technology, what was the use of even if you went to South Africa? You can't find gold mines, all you can see is desolation and beasts.

At that time, Africa was not a place for people, so to speak. And yet it holds this treasure. No one knows, except Liu Yong. There is not only gold there, but also diamonds.

But at this time, diamonds had not yet been recognized.

And Liu Yong's main mining is only gold.

Gold is the most important mineral at this time.

When he was about to go to the waters of Somalia, Liu Yong had 20 warships surround the Yongshi, and the soldiers on board had to enter the first level of combat readiness.

The Somali sea is so vast that by the time we get there, it's almost dark.

Liu Yong decisively ordered the fleet to stop sailing. Wait until dawn before leaving.

The huge fleet stopped right in the middle of the sea. And this huge fleet has attracted the attention of the pirates, who are sharpening their knives against the pigs and sheep.

But these pirates are also afraid of the size of Liu Yong's fleet, which is too big, it is simply a behemoth.

The pirates' messages were transmitted very quickly, and they decided to join forces to rob this huge fleet.
