Liu Yong accepted Jia Gang's suggestion and asked him to purchase twenty ships of goods alone to bring them back to the Great Song Dynasty. Because Liu Yong is still very relieved of Jia Gang, he knows what goods to pull. He didn't care, the fleet had been sailing for nearly four months, and needed a good rest. And it's already winter, but the temperature in Khomeini Port is still relatively good, neither hot nor cold, which is very suitable for resting.

It takes about half a month to rest before you can set sail again.

Liu Yong knew that from here, he could reach Europe by land, but he didn't want to go to Europe now, and Europe was now in the dark Middle Ages, so it didn't make much sense. He was not interested.

But in this half a month, he can visit the customs of Persia with Yun'er and Su Erniang. So he let Muhammad the Younger go into the interior of Persia as a guide.

Because of the limited time, they didn't go too deep.

It can be said that the road is very desolate, and even if there are towns, they are chaotic and backward. There is no harm if there is no comparison, Liu Yong deeply felt the advanced and prosperous people of the Great Song Dynasty.

He looked all the way, sighed all the way, and thought: If the Great Song Dynasty had not been destroyed by the Mongols, what kind of situation would it be? Will there be a later Ming and Qing dynasties?

He didn't know this, but he knew that the Great Song Dynasty's open-minded attitude and the development of the private economy had already had the germ of capitalism, and if it weren't for Mongolia, China would have entered capitalism hundreds of years earlier than the West, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!

I thought that the history of China was always interrupted by foreign nations at the most critical time of development, and it had to develop again.

Everyone has their own destiny, and this may be the destiny of a nation.

A person's destiny can only be changed by himself, while the destiny of a nation can be changed by several generations.

Liu Yong and the four of them lived in a small city for a few days, and Yun'er was about to go back.

Because the food and housing conditions in this small town are really poor. Su Erniang was okay, Yun'er couldn't stand it, and the group of four returned the same way.

On the way, Yun'er said that Persia is far behind our Great Song Dynasty, and Su Erniang also held the same opinion. Of course, Liu Yong also thinks so.

The three of them sat in a rented carriage, and they didn't bother to browse the scenery, because the scenery here was too monotonous. The eyes are full of earthy yellow, and people will get sleepy after looking at it for a long time.

Back in the port of Khomeini, it's a lot better.

After eating in the city, I went back to the big ship.

At this time, Liu Yong thought that he had been sailing for several months, and his big ship didn't even have a name. So he called the first mate.

The first mate smiled and said, "Back to the captain, isn't this ship called Liu Yong?" ”

Liu Yong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you use my name?" ”

"It's such a captain, if our Da Song is his own ship, he usually uses the owner's name." The first mate said.

"Oh, I say, why didn't anyone suggest I give the ship a name, I see!" Liu Yong muttered to himself.

"Well, that's it, so when all the crew knew the captain's name, they knew the name of the ship." The first mate said.

Liu Yong nodded, then frowned and thought about it, and said: "It's not good, it's not good to use my name, but you can use the Yong character on my name to give this boat a name." ”

"Oh? So what name does the captain want to go? The first mate asked.

Liu Yong waved his hand, meaning to let him think about it.

Well, the name of his sauce shop is Yongqing Sauce Fang, which added Lin Qingrou's name, and the boat can no longer use Lin Qingrou's name. But with whose name? He thought about it, and finally decided that no one's name should be used, and it would be called the Eternal Horn, which heralded the eternal existence of his inheritance.

After making up his mind, Liu Yong told the first mate the name.

When the first mate heard it, he thought it was good, so he said: "My subordinate is a rough man, and he doesn't know how to dance and write, but when I heard the name given by the captain to this big ship, I thought it was very good." Eternity, eternity, eternal life and eternal eternity, this is a very good meaning. ”

For this name, the first mate has his professional interpretation, which is naturally different from Liu Yong's.

But that's okay, as long as the name is good.

"Then go to the craftsman and write the word eternity on the hull of my big ship." Liu Yong said.

"Okay, my subordinates will do it." The first mate said.

"Hmm." Liu Yong nodded and agreed.

The first mate went, and Liu Yong was alone in the flower hall. It was still a storybook that he liked to read, and a rocking chair that he liked to sit in.

At this time, Yun'er Su Erniang went shopping, you must know that this woman's favorite thing to do is to go shopping, even a generation of heroines Su Erniang is no exception.

Liu Yong picked up a storybook, lay on the rocking chair and read it, his eyes watching, but his mind was thinking about other things.

Just as he was thinking, little Muhammad came in and told him that Jagang had come to ask for an audience.

Liu Yong let Jia Gang in.

Jia Gang came in, and the thing he wanted to report was that he had already purchased the goods, and he wanted to ask Liu Yong to take a look.

Liu Yong just asked him what kind of goods he purchased, and asked the price.

Jia Gang answered them one by one.

In the end, Liu Yong asked: "How much can these goods be sold for back to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Jia Gang made a simple calculation and said, "I can earn almost 20,000 yuan." ”

Liu Yong nodded, very satisfied.

"Owner, in this way, all the expenses of this round trip will be sufficient. There's even something left. The subordinates made a preliminary calculation, and this voyage, from the remuneration of the personnel to the food expenses along the way, probably cost more than 12,000 yuan. Honestly, that's a big number. In the past, there were a total of 30 ships in the fleet, and the crew was only more than 50 people, and the cost along the way did not exceed 3,000. I was surprised when I came up with such a number. But it is not surprising to think of the host's giant ship and a fleet of a hundred ships. ”

Jia Gang told Liu Yong how he felt.

Liu Yong just smiled.

"Then the subordinate will take these goods back to the Great Song Dynasty to sell them first, and then I will go to the chief manager Chen An and hand over all the money from the sale to him." Jia Gang said.

"Well, okay, let's do it. And that's thanks to you. Otherwise, I really don't want to pull anything back. Liu Yong said with a smile.

Jia Gang said: "My subordinates have followed my father to do business in the streets since he was a child, and now it can be said that he has been doing business for a lifetime, and in the end he is not as good as the owner's hair. ”

Liu Yong said: "You just encountered a disaster and were unlucky. ”

"It's not like this, don't say anything else, just say that the owner's sauce shop business is very impressive to his subordinates!" Jia Gang said.
