At that time, the second captain took a new route, which could go directly to Xilan Island from the Layer Pull Country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And that Liu Erlang was sent by his master to the Liuqiu fleet, and asked him to act as an interpreter for the local guides hired by the Liuqiu people.

They didn't know about the voyage, but some of the old sailors of the Layer Nation knew very well about the situation from Shilan to them, and hiring them as guides would add a sense of security, at least they had walked many times and had practical experience.

Although the Liuqiu ship is far safer than the sail and paddle ship they are familiar with, the first voyage is still safer...... Don't be afraid to bring more people.

Liu Erlang's master was quite happy that Liu Erlang could have a good relationship with Liuqiuren, and he wished that his houseboy could get closer and closer to those people.

The relationship between the master and the servant in this time and space is very close, and the average master treats the domestic child as similar to the adopted son.

After Ryujiro finished his first hunt, he was carried back to the country of Izuba.

At that time, he immediately told his master about the promise of the second captain that he could specialize in mosquito repellent.

His master family is very happy, and he is really not happy for one more business, the most important thing is to be able to get in touch with the Liuqiu people!

Asking businessmen to do business and pay attention to fair dealings...... Not only are the novelties of the goods useful, but they also have great armed strength!

They could even ask the king of Shiraz to give them fair treatment, and they could have said yes!

Although the 30% tax on sales is nothing to the profits of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, it is always a little uncomfortable...... If you can partner with the seekers and act in their name, you can pay only 10% of the purchase and sale tax, and more importantly, maybe you can get their protection!

This is the most needed guarantee for every businessman who goes to sea to do business......

The tributary of the Liuqiu caravan also left a manpower in the country and began to build the Liuqiu caravan...... This shows that they will definitely regard this place as an important place in the future, so you must become one with them, which will be of great help to you in the future!

Liu Erlang's main family immediately decided to let him separate from his own business, and gave him some capital so that he could cooperate with Liuqiuren, and he opened another branch as if he had opened another branch.

Liu Erlang is overjoyed, the main family values himself, and he can let himself blossom and branch in business and be alone!

He likewise expressed his loyalty to the Lord's house...... At that moment, the two had begun to develop from a simple master-servant relationship to a cooperative relationship.

Along the way, they sailed fast on the northeast wind, and along the way they also went to some unnamed islands, and dug some wells in places where they could...... There is no one on this plane who is better at finding fresh water and digging wells than them.

Captain Xiao Er and Wang Zheng marked such islands on the chart.

As they passed through this strange sea, they were fortunate not to encounter too many storms...... Of course, their mastery of fast sail lifting techniques allows them to go far at all.

The only thing that makes people feel a little regret is that one of their ships leading the way in front of them accidentally hit the reef...... It's no wonder that the guides didn't warn them in advance, and the draught of their boats is much deeper than that of the paddle boats!

The ship, which ran aground, was no longer salvage at all...... Even if there was a water compartment in it, it was not enough, because the wind and water were smooth and the speed of the ship was fast, the ship crashed into a hole of two square meters!

No one or any device can plug a wound of this magnitude...... Fortunately, a lot of basha wood was added to the mezzanine of their ship, which greatly slowed down the speed of the wreck, which was enough for them to salvage a lot of cargo and equipment, and there were no casualties.

By the time they had finished moving the cargo, the ship had sunk three-quarters of its hull.

The second captain and Wang Zheng watched in a daze as the sea boat rose and fell on the surface of the sea, and slowly sank.

The captain said, "I know that my ending may be like this...... But I still love to float in the ocean! ”

Wang Zheng said sadly: "That's it, after completing the task of the master's family, I don't want to go so far...... I'm totally tired of the sea now! ”

The second captain said happily:

"You don't want to visit the southern continent again? There are rhinoceros horns that are more than 1.6 meters long, and I don't know how far the tusks can grow...... It makes my heart beat when I think about it! ”

Thinking of those, Wang Zheng's heart couldn't help jumping...... The rhinoceros horn can be more than one meter long, it can be regarded as the best of the best, if it is transported back to the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is bought by the Great Song City, it will definitely be sold for a good price!

At least I can buy a few courtyards in Lin'an City......

Wang Zheng talked about ideals to the second captain...... His idea has always been very simple, he hopes to buy some houses in Lin'an City in the future, and then rent them out to collect rent, so that he can eat without worrying about food for the rest of his life.

Of course, he also knew that his ideas were too low-end...... But, he just likes it!

The second captain saw Wang Zheng fall into deep thought, and knew in his heart that his partner was entangled.

The ocean is full of dangers, but it is also full of riches, lots and lots of unexpected riches...... It is far more developed than having a few courtyards in Lin'an City.

The tangled mentality did not affect Wang Zheng's appetite.

That day, they collectively ate braised turtle meat, using chili noodles and high white wine as seasonings, which removed the fishy smell in the turtle meat, and the meat tasted good!

They were not short of food on the voyage, and the supply ships were full of canned flour and rice, but they lacked fresh meat and vegetables except for marine fish...... Dried kelp can replace fresh vegetables after soaking, but canned meat can't replace fresh meat, especially when returning to the flight, the canned meat is really enough!

They followed the advice of some old sailors...... Specialized in catching large sea turtles on large and small islands.

The advantage of capturing large sea turtles is that if you put them all in the shade, as long as you don't often splash some seawater on them and keep them moist, then they can survive for a long time, which is equivalent to a living freezer.

But turtle eating was not very popular, and only for veteran sailors with long sailing experience.

One is that the people of the Great Song Dynasty do not like to eat ugly food, and the other is that the turtle meat is too fishy to swallow.

But the second captain and Wang Zheng didn't care about this, as long as it helped them to complete the voyage, they all followed it.

Of course, similar to some Great Song Dynasty merchants who still raise pigs on sea ships, such behaviors that do not outweigh the losses.

At this time, April to October is the breeding season for large sea turtles, they often mate on the surface of the water near the reef, and then at night, those female turtles generally choose to land on the beach with small slopes and soft sand to lay eggs, and at that time they can catch a lot with their eyes closed.

However, when they returned, they basically missed the peak season when the female giant turtles flocked to the beach en masse, but they were still able to catch some ...... on the beach of some small islands As a result, more than a dozen islands were searched, and the number they caught was enough for the entire fleet to eat a few meals occasionally.

The largest one they caught at that time was more than a meter long and weighed more than 400 catties, and the other smaller ones were 180 catties.

Later, when they came across an island of some size, they sent people ashore to survey it.

Along the way, they focused on improving the route, not seeking speed...... As a result, when they arrived at Shilan, it was a month later than expected. (To be continued.) )
