The name of the city is Champa Buluo, which means city in Sanskrit, so it is also called Cham, and it was annexed by Annam in 1697. However, there is a slight deviation in the history of Champa in this time and space, since 1592, after the military conflict between the two major military groups of Annam, the Truong lord of the Lê dynasty occupied the northern part of Annam, while the Nguyen lord occupied the south, adjacent to the Champong. In order to establish a good relationship, Nguyen Phuc Nguyen once tried to marry his daughter Princess Ji to the monarch of Champang, but Champa took advantage of the war between the North and South Dynasties in a vain attempt to seize the territory of southern Annam, and then was occupied by the army of Lord Nguyen.

As soon as the plan to go to Champa Port was proposed, the people who traveled through it were excited and inexplicably enthusiastically signed up, everyone had already stayed in this unnamed beach camp and was about to fade out, and the farthest away from this camp were only these scouts from the northern latitudes, and they had not even entered the city. Now I heard that I was going to a trade port, naturally all the people were happy, and when the registration list was handed over to the trade organizing committee, Gu Qingqian, who was in charge of trade, almost didn't jump. "One hundred and twenty-six?"

"It's been screened once. It seems to have been one hundred and seventy-five at the beginning. Cheng Jun smiled and flipped through the list, pointing to the names that had been crossed out with a pencil.

"But you don't need so many people! It's not going to war! ”

"There are still fewer than 100 people in the war, but who do you think should be replaced? Everyone has a good reason, I can't brush it if I want to......" Cheng Jun explained with a wry smile.

Gu Qingqian flipped through the list, the navy needs to go to an 8154 as an escort and personnel carrier, which requires more than a dozen, the Ministry of Trade needs to go to three or four to prepare, and each department has to send procurement personnel to the market to find sources of goods or sales channels. But how can you count more than thirty enough...... How could a hundred and twenty-six people come out? She looked at it and felt that this matter had to be handled by the Executive Committee, otherwise the five-masted ship would not come back when it went to Champa Port, and this 8154 might not be able to accommodate the people who returned home.

In the end, the executive committee fought a few hours of verbal warfare with the traversers, and finally limited the number to sixty-seven, who were basically composed of purchasing and sales personnel from various departments, and there were also a few people from the exploration team who had to go, and they needed to draw nautical charts and topographic maps of the port of Champang.

The selection of the trade team was decided, but the problem remained, there was no suitable product to trade, and the debate over what to sell was going on in the office of the trade department for several days. Finally, the day before the scheduled departure, Sun Wenqing ran to the Ministry of Trade, holding an oil-paper bag in his hand, and he mysteriously handed the oil-paper bag to Gu Qingqian.

Gu Qingqian took it and looked at it with a suspicious face, "What is this?" Wenqing. ”

Sun Wenqing suddenly became depressed, "Don't call me Wenqing, okay?" My name is Sun Wenqing, Wenqing is a derogatory term, you make me very unhappy when you say that, okay? ”

"Alright, alright! Sun Wenqing! Hehe, how can cultural youth be a derogatory term? Gu Qingqian hurriedly smiled and made concessions, "Seriously, what is this bag?" How does it smell a bit like cooling oil? ”

"What do you mean by something like?" Sun Wenqing almost jumped up, "This is cool oil!" ”

"This is cooling oil?" Gu Qingqian hurriedly opened the oiled paper bag three times and two times, and sure enough, a big piece of paste was lying in the middle of the oily paper bag. "How did you pour out all the cool oil? This is still waiting for the next batch of supplies to Zheng Zhilong! ”

Sun Wenqing smiled mysteriously, "This is what I did myself." ”

"What?" Gu Qingqian immediately stood up and carefully looked at this piece of cool oil. "This thing smells the same, how can you make it yourself?"

"Just kidding, this thing was originally a formula set in the Qing Dynasty, and the ingredients are not troublesome, and all the materials were found during this exploration, so there was a shortage of glycerin." Sun Wenqing proudly boasted of his great achievements.

Gu Qingqian was a little strange, "Isn't there a lack of glycerin?" Where did you get your glycerin? ”

"Glycerin? Hahaha. Sun Wenqing laughed heartlessly. This time it was hopeless, but the natives attacked, so they killed several horses, which were made with refined horse oil. ”

"Horse oil?" Gu Qingqian frowned a little, although her face was a little round, but this action made her look quite touching, which made Sun Wenqing feel moved for no reason. "Horse oil doesn't taste good! Two days ago, when they were boiling horse oil in a big pot outside, it smelled so strong, it smelled so bad. ”

"You don't know this," a voice suddenly came from upstairs, "although the horse oil doesn't smell good, but the fried things smell like a fragrant!" The meatballs that were fried in the past two days were fried in horse oil. ”

"Okay, okay, don't go off-topic," Sun Wenqing hurriedly interrupted the discussion of the horse oil, "We are discussing the matter of cool oil, if we don't have to go to Madagascar as soon as we go off topic, don't talk about this thing." ”

Gu Qingqian hurriedly invited Sun Wenqing to sit on the wooden bench to entertain the visitors and continue to discuss the cool oil, but these were all defective products that were originally made in the lumber mill without success, and several people from the Planning Commission felt heartbroken after seeing them, and they were all taken back to the office building. But they didn't have the heart to put it on this stool that could bite them at any time, and all their energy was on this first product that could be made by the Crossing Crowd.

"Wen Qing, what do you say about the yield of this thing? We can't just sell a small packet like this, can we? Gu Qingqian asked as she picked up the electric kettle she brought and made a cup of tea for Sun Wenqing.

"It's hard to say the yield, it mainly depends on the number of medicinal materials collected and the success rate of processing, I grabbed it from a big vat, because this is the first time to do it, so some materials are slightly wasted."

"Big vat?? How much did you do? Gu Qingqian was a little surprised, this medicinal herb group made a medicine without making a sound, and I really can't see it.

"Three large jars, about fifteen kilograms." Sun Wenqing thought for a moment, "If there are enough medicinal materials and manpower, I think there will be no problem in increasing the output." ”

"I mean, can you make something else?" Gu Qingqian began to be a little dissatisfied with such a product as cool oil.

Sun Wenqing nodded, "I haven't been able to find the holly leaves for the time being, so I can't extract methyl salicylate, and the source of eugenol can't be found for the time being, otherwise I can also make wind oil essence." For the time being, there is not enough food, and there is no bagasse, otherwise you can find a way to get some alcohol and make your own perfume. ”

"Do you have a solution to this stuff, then?" Gu Qingqian felt a little depressed when she saw that she could only sell cool oil now, and hurriedly asked.

"There are more holly in the south of our country, and it should be possible to find it here, but it may take time. Cloves are mainly grown in the subtropics, which may need to be sourced from the mainland. As for making alcohol, it is actually easy to say, but now that the raw materials are insufficient, there should be enough materials to make alcohol when the farm officially starts producing food. ”

"Farm?" Gu Qingqian thought about it and hurriedly shouted upstairs, "Sun Wenbin is not there?" ”

"What?" Sun Wenbin's slightly hoarse voice came.

"How's your farm doing now?" Gu Qingqian hurriedly asked, since Sun Wenbin was in charge of his farm, the chances of meeting him in the office building were really not high. "When will we be able to produce food?"

"I'll ...... You're using the farm as a factory, right? There was a hint of anger in Sun Wenbin's voice. Even if it's tropical, it's not just sown, and my potatoes and corn have only been planted for thirteen days, and you want to harvest? ”

"That's not what I meant!" Gu Qingqian hurriedly defended, "I want to ask how long it will take to give birth?" ”

"It's hard to say that potatoes won't grow if the temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, but fortunately it's close to winter and the temperature should be relatively low, but it will take at least four months to harvest. Corn is a bit faster, it matures in about three months, aren't you planning to export it? We don't have enough corn to eat. ”

"It's okay, you're busy, I'm just asking."

That night, Gu Qingqian asked the people from the Ministry of Trade to carry the three cylinders of 15 kilograms of cool oil onto the ship, and wanted to go to Zhancheng Port to try how the sales were.

In the early morning of October 2, 1628, a huge archway was erected next to the floating dock of the wharf, which was carved with three big characters "Oriental Port" in Song style, which was the name finally decided by the people after more than ten days of discussion, but after the crossing reached this new world, they encountered the embarrassing problem of the date, and the time could also pass through the navigation clock on the ship, in case it did not work, there were celestial phenomena, but the date was nothing. As a result, an astronomer got a date based on his "night observation", which was no different from the perpetual calendar he brought, so the Executive Committee began to arrange a new calendar according to this date. Because the new world we arrived in does not have the concept of a Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar is now used uniformly for the year, and even everyone's mobile phones have now been completely changed to the lunar calendar.

Underneath this huge archway, there are many people who see off the crossers, and a five-masted ship is parked on one side of the floating pier in the distance, and several wealthy merchants on board stand on the bow of the ship with sad faces and look at the dense crowd. Many of their goods, such as grain and pig iron, have been bought out by these "Americans" at very good prices, and they are all smiling at this time, and some of them originally planned to take advantage of this return to Champa Port and no longer come out to do business, but these Americans actually asked to return to Champa Port with them. The power of these people's weapons had been clearly seen when the Wu Dynasty army attacked a few days ago, and thousands of Wu Dynasty men were captured instead of a camp with less than 200 defenders. Not to mention the sea power, three ships attacked two of their ships, not only did not one of them hurt anyone, but two of them were sunk and more than 100 prisoners were captured. If such a force appears in his hometown of Zhanchenggang, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse.
