Wang Haichong fooled Luo Yueguo as His Royal Highness to build a city and a port in Puluo, and he had to give technical guidance. The defense of the city and the conditions of the port obtained by the construction technology of the Luoyue people www.biquge.info not meet the requirements of the Tang army.

To this end, Wang Haichong led the surveying and mapping team led by him in the expedition team to help Luo Yueguo provide technical guidance in selecting the site and building the city in Puluozhong.

Zhang Qin, Yu Hong and others completely became bystanders, living in the palace provided by King Luo Yue, enjoying the food and the intimate service of Luo Yue women, and waiting for Wang Haichong to leave after his guidance.

Wang Haichong led the surveying and mapping team to explore the entire Puluozhong, which is an island with a radius of more than 22 miles. In the center of the island are rolling hills, covered with dense tropical rainforest, and the numerous small rivers that originate from the hills flow in all directions and flow into the sea. In addition, there are four or five freshwater lakes on the island, and the garrison troops on the island do not have to worry about the problem of fresh water at all.

Considering that most of the sea ships owned by Jiaolong Haihang under His Royal Highness are large ships of hundreds of tons, and there are also giant ships of thousands of tons. Wang Haichong chose the bay in the southwest of Puluo, which is 12 miles long from east to west, and there is a small island with a length of 14 miles from east to west two miles away from the south of the bay to block the invasion of the inner bay by the wind and waves at sea, forming a natural harbor. To build this place into a port, the superior conditions will surely surpass the port of Duli Town.

The city was chosen on the west bank of a river with a large flow four miles northeast of the bay, and Wang Haichong planned the city as a city that occupies a circle of two miles.

Because there was no cement, the city was built with stones, and the financial, material, and manpower of Luo Yue Kingdom wanted to build the port and the city, and Wang Haichong taught the people of Luo Yue to build the city with rammed earth technology.

Rammed earth plate building technology to use wall screen, ramming pestle, log crossbar, large clapper, small clapper, rope, Luban ruler, short wooden ruler, triangular ruler, level ruler, hammer, hammer, hoe, shovel, T-shaped pickaxe, as well as mud knife, bamboo scraper, hoe, wooden shovel, dustpan several.

Although there are 19 kinds of tools to be used, the production and use techniques of these tools are extremely simple, and with the level and ability of Luo Yueguo's craftsmen, there is no problem at all in making and using them under the guidance of Wang Haichong.

To make a good tool and build a rammed earth wall, you need to take the soil and sieve it and put it in a cauldron to boil it again, kill the insects and ants in the soil, and then you can build the rammed earth.

After ten days of hard work and demonstration by Wang Haichong, a long rammed earth city wall was built, and a group of Luo Yue craftsmen were taught.

Zhang Qin, Yu Hong and others, who had been waiting for many days in the palace of King Luoyue, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Haichong dragging his tired body back, and the expedition team could set off.

The expedition team, which had rested in Luo Yue for more than ten days, bid farewell to the overly enthusiastic monarchs and ministers of Luo Yue Kingdom, accepted the generous gifts and set sail, sailing along the west coast of the Golden Peninsula to visit the coastal countries.

The expedition visited the kingdoms of Ganga, Kada, Kedah and Phlom along the way, crossed the island of Phuket, as it is known locally, and turned north along the coastline. After three days of sailing, they arrived at the port of the Kingdom of Guaba, which was the northernmost port on the west coast of the Golden Peninsula, and further north was a sparsely populated and barbarian wilderness.

After discussing with Yu Hong and Wang Haichong, Zhang Qin decided not to sail north, but turned the bow of the ship and headed south towards Jindao.

Su Wen Jin Island is famous for its abundance of gold, and Yu Hong, Wang Haichong and others, who have not yet arrived, are looking forward to arriving at Jin Island and visiting the countries on the island as envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and how much gold will be given from the kings of various countries.

Since Wang Haichong proposed to pretend to be an envoy sent by the imperial court to the Nanyang countries, he has made a lot of profits from the Boli Kingdom and the Luo Yue Kingdom. When sailing on the west coast of the Golden Peninsula, each country must visit the king of that country as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

These countries are small and weak, and they are not qualified or able to send envoys north to the Tang Dynasty, and their monarchs and ministers have never seen the world at all, but from the Tang maritime merchants who came to trade in their own ports and the Southern Seas powers such as Sri Buddha and Mo Luo You, who went to the Tang Dynasty to trade, heard the news of the wealth and strength of the Tang Kingdom in the north, and their hearts were only longing for it.

I didn't expect Tang Envoy to come to visit suddenly? The king of Zhufan Kingdom behaved as pleasantly surprised as the king of Luo Yue when he heard about it, greeting him with the highest courtesy, and gifting the expedition with a special product and gold when he left. While still in the waters of the country, they are protected from pirates.

Along the way, the three ships of the expedition team, each of the three ships carried 100 taels of gold, 300 taels of silver, aromatic wood, camphor, incense, yellow ripe incense, head sinking speed, white incense, brain, flower tin, rough descending true and other Nanyang specialties even pressed the three positions of each ship.

According to Zhang Qin's estimate, if they did not meet the same enthusiasm as the countries of the Golden Peninsula after they had completed the Golden Island and Jawa Island, the expedition would have completely turned into a merchant fleet full of Nanyang merchant goods.

After the gold and special products given by the current Zhufan Kingdom are transported back to Datang for sale, they will be evenly distributed to the soldiers of the expedition, and each person can get at least 100 yuan.

……

The expedition sailed south for ten days to see the coastline of Jindao, and it took two days to find a port with dozens of merchant ships, including Chinese merchants from Quanzhou.

From the mouth of the Chinese merchants, it was learned that this place was the Sumatran Thorn Kingdom at the northwest tip of the Golden Island, and its national strength was medium among the Nanyang countries.

After learning enough information, Zhang Qin and others repeated their old tricks, and appeared domineeringly in front of the port tax collector of Sumatra to show their intentions.

The Sumatra Assassin State did not dare to despise the envoys of the country, and offered Zhang Qin and other expedition members a good food and drink, and presented a bunch of local products to the expedition team when they parted.

After the ship left the port of Sumatra, Wang Haichong couldn't wait to estimate the value of the gifts, which almost became Wang Haichong's practice.

Seeing Wang Haichong crawling out of the cabin, Yu Hong smiled and asked, "Xiaodao Chief, have you calculated it, how much is the gift given by King Sumatra worth?" ”

"The gold is only eighteen taels, there is no silver at all, and the rest are all incense and the like, and when I go back and sell them, the total does not exceed eight hundred. As a medium-sized power in the South Seas, the king of Sumatra couldn't bear it. ”

"Don't be greedy, the brothers, each of them can share more." Yu Hong laughed and said, Wang Haichong rolled his eyes.

"The national elementary school has a request from the Tang Dynasty, so it is natural to give us more courtesy and gifts to us who pretend to be envoys of the imperial court. A medium-sized power like Sumatra has nothing to ask for from Datang, and it would be good to be able to give a little gift to show your heart, so why should we ask for more? ”

Zhang Qin didn't care much about the number of gifts sent by Fanguo, he didn't pretend to be an envoy of the imperial court, and the expedition team had to pay traffic taxes and port taxes every time they arrived in a country.

"Besides, this way to the east, there are two small kingdoms of orphans and Li Dynasty along the way, maybe we can get a lot of gifts from them."

Wang Haichong pursed his lips and said: "I have inquired, the orphan and the Li Dynasty are two small and poor countries, it is estimated that they are not a country, they can only be regarded as tribes, what kind of gifts can they receive?" By the way, there isn't even a port. ”
