Winter, November, South Indian Sea, Sri Lanka Island.

Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is a tropical island nation that was occupied by the Amir Empire fifteen years ago, killing its king and capturing its people. Sri Lanka is shaped like a tear in the Indian Peninsula, embedded in the vast Indian Ocean.

It is considered by Marco Polo to be the most beautiful island because of its beautiful seaside and rich natural heritage.

Before the west coast of the Amir Empire, Lu Dazhi was fully prepared and did not dock at any of its places, but the fleet had to look at the shore to determine its position.

In this way, the whereabouts of the Amir Empire Guardian were finally revealed, but fortunately, the news was not well informed at this time, and by the time the news reached Amir, it had been two or three days old.

Lu Dazhi did not look back, rushed all the way, and finally bypassed the west bank of the Amer Empire.

"Ahead is the island of Sri Lanka, judging from the map of Childe, as long as you bypass this island and go all the way to the east, less than 2,000 kilometers away is the territory controlled by my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Dazhi said excitedly.

Left and right: "Finally here, I believe more and more that Gongzi is a man of God, and this world is really wonderful. Governor, shall we land on the island at once, and then go directly east after the supply? ”

Lu Dazhi thought for a moment and said, "No! The Amir Empire has already known our whereabouts, and if we dock at this moment, I don't know how many military horses are waiting, or they have also prepared ships, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net and call the logistics over, I wonder how many days we can hold out. ”

After a while, the logistics came and reported: "Governor, the grain can last for three days, and the fresh water has two days of reserves, and it will not work if it is not replenished." ”

When Lu Dazhi heard this, his scalp was also a little numb, and he thought about it for a long time without a countermeasure, but he didn't dare to go ashore, so he simply thought about countermeasures alone on the bow of the boat.

When Lu Dazhi was suffering and had no countermeasures, there were suddenly reports from left and right, saying that someone asked to see him, and Lu Dazhi asked for his name again, but it was a son named Cao Zhi.

Lu Dazhi knew that Cao Zhi had recently become somewhat famous in the fleet, and it was said that he was the son of Cao Cao.

The title of Cao Cao's son didn't work in Lu Dazhi, but at this time Lu Dazhi was depressed, and someone came to see him and talk about it, so he asked Cao Zhi to come over.

Cao Zhi was wearing coarse cloth clothes, although he looked a little old, but his figure was straight, his face was resolute, and he still had the temperament of everyone, Lu Dazhi secretly praised.

"Young Master Cao, please take a seat!" Lu Dazhi motioned for Cao Zhi to sit down.

Cao Zhi bowed slightly, called the governor, and then sat down.

"Cao Gongzi came to look for me today, but it's rare."

Cao Zhi also arched his hand and said: "Actually, in the past few days, I have heard rumors on the ship, it is said that many people oppose landing on the island, saying that they want to ask Governor Lu to take out the grain reserves, and simply bypass Sri Lanka directly and go east to Dahan, which will be about ten days. ”

"Stockpiling food?"

Lu Dazhi wondered, where is there still food reserves.

Cao Zhi replied and pointed to the two ships that specialized in transporting sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Lu Dazhi understood in an instant, slapped the round table and shouted: "Bold! This is the ultimate goal of this circumnavigation voyage of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, that is, my Lu Dazhi is gone, and these two ships have to be returned to Gongzi as they are! ”

Cao Zhi said: "The governor is angry, in fact, the passengers only mention it occasionally, and no one dares to think about it. In the next day, I came up with some ways to solve the problem with Governor Lu. ”

When Lu Dazhi heard Cao Zhi say this, he slowly sat down, but the anger in his heart did not disappear.

"Cao Gongzi has a clever plan, please say and listen to me, at this time, everyone is in the same boat, life and death together, if you can have a clever plan to tide over the difficulties together, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce will not hesitate to friendship."

Lu Dazhi can only say this, he doesn't dare to say that you Cao Zhi will win Cao Cao's title and inherit the power, that is too unrealistic, Yang Xi still has the qualifications to say it.

And Lu Dazhi and others didn't know that Cao Cao had been added as the king of Wei, and he had only been out for two and a half years, and the way of the world had changed.

However, the friendship of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is already quite weighty, Cao Zhi values this, besides, isn't it just to give advice, and not to lose a piece or two.

So Cao Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Actually, Governor Lu doesn't have to worry, we don't need to land on Sri Lanka Island at all. Just do what I say, even if you sail for twenty days, you can withstand it. ”

"Oh? Cao Gongzi has a plan, hurry up and listen. Lu Dazhi was a little anxious.

"Actually, this matter is very simple, but the food is easy to solve, I have people on the boat, there are fish in the sea, how can I starve people to death."

"But I don't have a hook!"

"The hook is simple, anyway, bypassing the island of Sri Lanka, there is no enemy to guard against, the Governor can order someone to bend the crossbow arrows to make a large fish hook, and you can tie the crossbow arrows to a wooden stick, and put a rope at the end of the wooden stick, thinking that it is a harpoon, and put down the lifeboat on the boat every day, and go to the sea to spear fish, which can solve many problems."

As soon as Cao Zhi said this, Lu Dazhi's mouth was suddenly opened, and the food problem could be solved.

"And where does the fresh water come from? To the east of the island of Sri Lanka, is the Bay of Bengal, according to the book "Geography", the humidity of the Bay of Bengal is low in winter, and there is little rain or runoff on the sea. Lu Dazhi had already thought about this point, and he couldn't solve it after thinking about it.

Cao Zhi said: "I know that Governor Lu is thoughtful, in the Bay of Bengal in winter, if he wants to wait for the rain from heaven, of course it depends on luck. But does Governor Lou know how wine is made? ”

"Brewing wine is simple, and now anyone can do it, this is Gongziming's distillation method. Wait a minute! And so on and so forth! I understand! Lu Dazhi slapped his thigh.

Cao Zhi laughed and said: "Governor Lu is a scholar, but he is in the bureau and needs to be broken, but today I have to ask Governor Lu for a drink." ”

"Haha! It's easy to say, I will drink this meal today, and when I return to Dahan, I will ask you to do something else, I heard that Cao Gongzi is also a person in the red dust, have you ever heard that in the territory controlled by my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, there is a place called Irrawaddy City? ”

"Of course you know!"

"Haha, it's good to know, that Irrawaddy City, now many big Han people have formed groups to pan for gold, but there are many local women, who don't give birth, just want to lie on the couch to make money, and when this is the case, this governor will invite you to go to Irrawaddy City to see it, it is said that there is another taste. Mm-hmm, yes, don't have a taste! ”

When Cao Zhi saw it, he knew that he wanted to go to this product.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and the guards listened, all of their faces froze, and some even laughed out loud, but they didn't care.

It turned out that Cao Zhi's idea was to take seawater to heat and distill water vapor, and then put a pot upside down on the bottom pot for a day, so that people were ordered to burn some briquettes every day to get distilled water.

This distilled water is the purest fresh water.

Speaking of fuel, Lu Dazhi was afraid of what to use to boil water after the briquettes ran out. Cao Zhi casually pointed to a big boat and snickered.

Lu Dazhi was puzzled, Cao Zhi said: "Just dismantle a boat, it's full of wood!" ”

Lu Dazhi's whole body trembled, and he was in an embarrassing situation of dismantling the ship to live. But there is no way to do it, but if there is a way to live, you have to find a way.

Although this boat is precious, it is still a lot worse than human life, let alone dismantling one, even if only one is left, all the people must be safely brought back to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.
