The second captain and Wang Zheng were reluctant to get off the ship and leave after observing the flying scissor traffic communication ship for a long time, because this kind of boat was the best ship in their minds, and what they needed most at the moment was fast and convenient, and it didn't matter what comfort and loading capacity were...... They also pulled the ship's sailors to get a closer look at the ship's conditions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The squad leader watched with a smile as they chatted with the sailors on the ship, without the slightest hint of urging them to get off the ship.

He had something to ask the two captains for...... He wanted some slaves with them, and the blacks looked like good labor!

This naval base is not short of supplies or weapons, and Captain Guo Beyu has left them a sufficient number before leaving.

But they are very short of labor...... At that time, they had to do purely manual work such as growing vegetables, which was too unskilled for them!

They had nearly 300 people stationed here, but it was built to accommodate a few thousand members...... So, for the time being, the whole base seems to be a little empty.

They planted some greens themselves, and they also planted some corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on, and the place in the base was empty anyway.

Due to the training habit of supporting workers and farmers in military training, all the members of the team know some technical work, and some technical work such as agricultural planting and industrial infrastructure is difficult for them, and there are even people in the team who used to be in charge of brick kilns and cement kilns...... They have already set up two such workshops on the base, which are managed and produced by the team members.

However, they lack skills, and the shortcomings of insufficient manpower are sometimes not solved by technical means...... Therefore, they very much wanted the black slaves that the second captain had brought with them, even if only a hundred of them were transferred now.

The squad leader had a fee, but it was only enough to hire some local laborers, and it was not enough to buy slaves...... In fact, he had always had the intention of going to a distant place to catch some slaves, of course, he just thought about it, and the discipline of the Liuqiu Guards would not allow it.

The squad leader wholeheartedly entertained the two captains, and settled the personal relationship first.

The second captain and Wang Zheng finally got off the boat...... They basically know this ship type perfectly.

It's great that you can get here from Ruqiu Island in less than two months!

If this is calculated, it will not take more than four months to get from the flow to the island of Madagascar!

They can save too much time later...... It's not a big deal to bump along the way, and to load less cargo.

Both men believed that their master would build a bigger, better, and better sea-going ship in every way...... Both of them were in a hurry to go home for a while.

The captain of the squad kindly advised them to stay a few more days, and a few days later a group of merchants who were begging for the sea might want to return and could share their goods and personnel.

He also introduced the current situation, their naval base is still a frequent place for those merchants in the Lion City and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and the relationship between the several aspects is very good.

When they arrived here, those merchants of the Great Song Dynasty did not treat themselves as outsiders......

The squad leader said, "Two captains, why don't you go to the Lion City and have a look, it's different now, there are several times more merchants there than before!" ”

Of course, the second captain knew the location of Xilan Island in their chart, it happened to be at an important node of the golden trade route, and maritime merchants from the East or West liked to replenish supplies here, and by the way, they could also do some spice business.

The owner of Zhang Guoan has been vigorously opening up the gold trade route over the years, and almost only relies on the strength of Liuqiu Island to promote the commercial and trade relations between the East and the West, and the private merchants and official merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are just hitching a ride.

There are far more merchants in Lion City now than before, which just shows that the efforts of Liuqiu Island have been successful!

Both of them were proud and curious, and the place where the merchants gathered would surely be a prosperous place......

After the second captain and Wang Zheng slept soundly in the naval base, the two did not take a military four-wheeled or horse-drawn carriage, but just walked to the Lion City to have a look.

Perhaps because of the presence of the Liuqiu Navy, the security situation here is excellent, and there has never been any robbery or murder on the surrounding land.

In particular, it is safer for those who wear casual clothes to come and go.

Once again, they experienced the difference between Guli City in Tianzhu and Cairo City in Egypt.

As mentioned above, the Sinhalese people at this time generally believed in Buddhism, and as early as the third century BC, since Buddhism was introduced from the Tianzhu region, it has become the base camp of Theravada Buddhism.

Therefore, there are many temples and monks in the Lion City...... Now it may be necessary to add that there are more merchants.

The two of them walked along the bustling street market, casually observing the shops on both sides...... Sure enough, now, as the squad leader said, merchants from all over the world are mixed together, and it seems to be more harmonious now.

They did not have to distinguish by the goods they sold, but by the color of the shopkeeper's skin alone, he could tell that he was a merchant of different races.

There are locals, Hui people, Great Song people, Liuqiu people, and even black traders.

The residents of the Lion City may be Buddhist, most of them seem to be docile and peaceful, and the pedestrians on the streets look more harmonious despite their different skin tones and voices.

The second captain smiled and said, "It's a bit like the Thornton City here......

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Where is it just one small number?!" It's even smaller...... You see, there are few businesses with more than two floors on that side! ”

Of course, this place is far from being as cosmopolitan as Thornton City, which has a population of more than one million citizens!

The Lion City is said to have only a few hundred thousand people...... But it is already a big city on this golden sea route, and it will not be more important in the future.

The two wandered around for a while, and saw a teahouse in front of them, and obliquely picked out a pretense, named "Guanjia Flower Tea Workshop".

The two glanced at each other, this is so funny, could it be that the Great Song Dynasty official mansion can come here to open "official ------ flower tea"?!

When they thought of the Great Song style tea soup, they suddenly became fond of it, no matter where it was opened at that time, they had to go in and have a drink about it!

It's not that the two of them are short of tea along the way, but they haven't drunk Da Song-style tea soup for too long.

Back then, when they followed the main family to live in Lin'an City, there were tea workshops everywhere, such as Yu Qilang Tea Workshop, Zhu Skull Tea Workshop, Guo Shilang Tea Workshop, Zhang Qixianggan Tea Workshop, Huang Jianzui Kickball Tea Workshop, a Cave Ghost Tea Workshop, Street Cheer Tea Shop, and Jiang Jian Yue Tea Shop.

The names of those tea shops are very cool, eye-catching, and very advertisemental.

Such a tea shop is not just a private place to drink tea.

Those elegant tea shops were the places where scholars and friends gathered, and at that time, domestic boys like Xiao Er and Wang Zheng were reluctant to go, and they didn't want to listen to their nonsense!

Those high-end tea shops can be used for the children of the rich room, the subordinates and others to gather, at that time, domestic boys like Xiao Er and Wang Zheng were reluctant to go, and they couldn't get used to seeing them shouting and throwing a lot of money!

Xiao Er and Wang Zheng are very willing to go to those popular tea houses, because it is the place where the borrowers and sellers of all walks of life meet, where they can also listen to small songs and novels, and when they hear the excitement, they can give a reward of one or two pennies, so happy!

In fact, at that time, there was a kind of flower tea shop with red lanterns hanging in Lin'an City, and all kinds of prostitutes and women were installed on the upper floor.

But now, they've grown up, and it's the Lion City, and more importantly, the main family isn't around!

Both of them have lost sperm at night along the way, and they have also had countless spring dreams, so they met Huachafang, of course, they are extremely excited!

The two of them winked at each other and went in. (To be continued.) )
