The sea is blue and the sea is blue, and Lu Ren and Gan Ning are sitting on the ground on the bow deck. There was not even a table between the two, but a straw mat was spread out at random, on which were some wine and food temporarily taken by the dock steward.

"Xingba, I didn't have time to prepare something decent in a hurry, don't be surprised! I have already instructed the cooks on the docks to raise their stoves to cook, and in a moment a few hot dishes will be brought up, and the boatmen's servants will not be short of their share of wine and meat. ”

Gan Ning smiled heartily: "Lu Servant, you and I don't have to see each other." Hey, but really speaking, I don't think about anything when I'm floating on the sea, I just think about the fine wine here in Yizhou. Alas, don't mention it! In order to make these rabbits energetic, I took out all the good wine, and in less than a few days, they drank all the rabbits. But that's fine, after these rabbit cubs ran out of wine to drink, they wanted to come back early to drink and eat meat every day, and they were full of enthusiasm when they came to do things. ”

Lu Ren was happy. Most of the sailors in ancient and modern China and abroad are such virtuous, basically the first thing they do when they get ashore after running the ship is to run to the bar, and get drunk like mud first.

After chatting a few more words, Lu Ren heard a very unexpected news: "When your ship went to Nanyue (Guangxi and Vietnam, which was then part of the border of Jiaozhou), you actually wiped out a local tribe of 500 people?" ”

Gan Ning snorted and said, "I didn't provoke them, but they came to provoke me!" When I Gan Xingba didn't know how to kill? ”

Lu Ren was secretly frightened, after all, before the conditions were ripe, Lu Ren didn't want to have any grudges with Jiaozhou, so he hurriedly asked, "What about after that?" You didn't cause anything serious, did you? ”

Gan Ning grinned: "Lu Servant can rest assured that Gan is not the original frivolous teenager, and he is still quite measured in his actions." The reason why Gan dared to do it was because that clan was a local tyrant and often bullied some other small tribes on weekdays. So after destroying them. Not only did no one hold a grudge against it, but there were many people who were willing to come and defect, counting hundreds of people, but unfortunately most of them were women. ”

Lu Renqi said: "All women? What's going on? ”

Gan Ning said: "They are all people from the small clan who have been bullied. Most of the men of the tribe died in the fighting, and the women were left as slaves and servants in their tribe. After I destroyed the evil people who bullied them, they were naturally willing to join them. ”

Lu Ren let out an "oh" and nodded again. This kind of clan dispute, killing all the men who have the other party's combat effectiveness, and then using women as trophies, slaves, and playthings, is really commonplace. Thinking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but stretch his neck to look around the boats, but he didn't see any women getting off the boat.

One more question. Gan Ning explained that Gan Ning originally took the hundreds of women on the ship to return home, but because of the reef incident, the collected supplies could not support the fleet of hundreds of more people to return to Yizhou, so he had to leave those women in Hong Kong temporarily, and let these women live there by themselves by fishing and hunting. Even so, there was nothing to worry about, because these women had grown up in almost semi-primitive tribes, and it was the old business of fishing, hunting, and eating. She can't starve to death without being harassed by foreign enemies.

“…… As soon as the boat hit the reef, these women could help weave fishing nets, catch fish and so on. Not to mention, all of them are capable, and they have helped me a lot. After that...... Hey. Lu Servant, don't laugh at Gan, in fact, Gan took this woman down at the beginning, and thought about other things. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ren was choked on a sip of wine on the spot. It took a long time to cough and come back to breath and say, "What's the matter?" Xingba, should you ...... How many did you take? ”

Gan Ning smiled, stretched out his hand and clapped his hands three times, and three women came out of the cabin. Gan Ning said to the three women, "The three of you came here and saw Lu Servant shooting...... Oh. Here in Yizhou, you have to call Sect Master Lu! ”

The three daughters saluted Lu Ren separately: "I've seen Sect Master Lu!" ”

Lu Ren signaled that there was no need to be polite, and then looked at the three women carefully. These three women obviously do not have the reserve of the women of the Han family, and they are more wild and wild. The appearance is not a national color, but it also has a unique charm.

And after watching it for a while, Lu Ren suddenly had a heart attack, and leaned into Gan Ning's ear and whispered: "Xingba, can you stand it for one night?" I think all three of them seem to be very open...... Bold. ”

Gan Ning also responded quietly: "I can't stand three a night, and one a day is about the same." Don't say it, it's really powerful enough! In addition, many of my rabbit cubs have picked good ones, and I don't think it's enough to score so much. ”

The two lustful friends laughed a few times at the same time, and Lu Renzheng came to his senses and said, "Let them all go down, let's talk about some business." ”

Gan Ning nodded and waved his hand to let the three girls return to the cabin.

Lu Ren said: "I thought about it just now, if those women can live in Hong Kong, don't rush to bring them all to Yizhou." We had plans to build a wharf there in Hong Kong, and now you're doing it right. Later, we will organize a fleet, send some corresponding manpower and materials, and build a new wharf like this, Xingba, what do you think? Well...... All send the man's past! ”

As soon as the words came out, Lu Ren wanted to laugh himself. Gan Ning said that there are as many as 400 or 500 women staying in Hong Kong, and if he sends an engineering team of more than 100 men here, how can he think about it and feel that it is a little weird. But that's fine, compared to the small town of Yizhou, there can be said to be nothing, and there has to be something that counts as compensation for the engineering team personnel. The only thing I am worried about is that after these people get to the place, everyone will be able to divide two, three, or even three or four, and don't make a fuss about the result of exhausting people.

Gan Ning has no opinion on this. And in Gan Ning's view, it is best to build a wharf in Hong Kong immediately, because Gan Ning suffered a big loss not long ago because there was no dock to dock and repair. And once the wharf is built, with a base point and a bridgehead, Gan Ning's hand can reach farther.

However, Yizhou's population problem has always been a big problem. After the two discussed a few more words, Lu Ren scratched his scalp and said, "It's not okay to go on like this...... It seems that I really have to go and grab it. Hey, Xingba, are you interested in going to Luzon (Manila south of Yizhou) and the South Sea Islands south of Luzon? As far as I know, there are quite a few indigenous people there, so if you can, you should go to that area first. If there is something that can be done, we can simply take some of the people there back and come back, we need enough labor here......"

Before he finished speaking, Gan Ning slapped his thigh hard and said, "Hey! I'll just wait for your words! Tell me, when are you going to leave? ”

Lu Ren was stunned, and asked tentatively: "Xingba, what does it feel like to sail to sea?" ”

Gan Ning closed his eyes and muttered: "If the ship is on the sea, people are like a leaf drifting, and the so-called sea is a drop in the sea, and it is difficult to fulfill its meaning." When the sky is clear, the sea and the sky are a line, and the heart is relaxed; When the wind and rain come, the waves are stormy, thrilling, and the cowardly are more cowardly, and the brave are braver...... Lu Servant, Gan Ning really likes the feeling of being adrift on the sea. As I said to me when I first met Lu Servant, what is it to fight with people? A man's husband should fight with the sky! Lu Servant, you are also a person who has sailed out to sea, you don't need me to say more. ”

Lu Ren said dumbly: "Aren't these sentences something I copied from modern prose?" But when did Gan Ning learn? But if you Gan Ning have this interest, it would be great. ”

After thinking about it again, Lu Ren said: "I can't hide it, I used to travel the world when I went to the extreme west, where there is a kind of person who wanders on the sea all the year round and is accompanied by the sea. Everywhere you go, you will discover the treasures and ruins of the region, and open up trade routes for your country's merchant ships......"

Gan Ningqi said: "Oh, there is such a thing? ”

Lu Renxin said: "Of course there is!" But that would be more than a thousand years later. Hey, it seems that we also have characters like Xu Xiake in China! And how did the Silk Road get through? ”

Gan Ning said: "What is this kind of person called?" ”

Lu Rendao: "In the local area, they are called adventurers, also known as explorers. The best of them will be revered as the King of Adventure. ”

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "Adventure King? Can they be kings indiscriminately? ”

Lu Ren almost slapped himself in the face, and said with a dry smile: "Oh, this so-called king is not the king of kings, it means the leader of the industry. ”

Gan Ning sighed and said to himself: "Adventure King, Yizhou King, Adventure King, Yizhou King......"

Lu Ren asked, "Xingba, what are you thinking?" ”

Gan Ning pondered for a long time before saying, "I suddenly feel that the adventure king in your mouth seems to be more suitable for me. If I hadn't been adrift at sea, I might have been puzzled, but now I'm not in the mood to sit in one place. ”

Lu Ren said suddenly: "Xingba, what do you mean ......?"

Gan Ning laughed twice and said, "Let's not mention him for chores." Lu Servant, when are you going to let me sail to the overseas islands that you just mentioned? ”

Lu Ren said: "As soon as possible." In my opinion, it can take up to a month to prepare at the earliest...... Hey, did you have any cargo when your fleet came back? You really don't just care about fighting, killing and robbing women, right? ”

Gan Ning said: "How can it! Lu Servant shot what he entrusted, how could Gan dare to neglect it? It's just that there are no good things in the land of Nanyue, only some ordinary local products, and Gan Ning is a little embarrassed to take them out and shoot them at Lu Servant. But when they were on the rocks and repairing the boat, the women who were fishing picked up some good things. ”

Lu Ren became interested: "Picked up something good?" What's the good stuff? ”

Gan Ning smiled: "It's ambergris." Speaking of which, it is fortunate that Gan Ning had seen this thing in an extremely wealthy household when he was robbing a house on the Yangtze River waterway, otherwise it would probably be discarded by Gan. ”

Lu Ren's eyes widened suddenly: "What? Ambergris? How many? ”

Gan Ning smiled: "Not much, not much, scattered about four or five catties." ”

Lu Ren jumped up directly this time and shouted:

"What? Four, five pounds!? That's not much!? (To be continued.) )
