Zhao Ji means to carry out a translation campaign, to translate the cultural classics of Dashi, all kinds of crafts. After all, if the Great Song Dynasty works behind closed doors, the speed of development is too slow, and only communication can accelerate technological breakthroughs. When the Mongols swept the world, they had a good tradition of bringing together craftsmen from all over the world to make the sharpest weapons for them. Finally, the Mongols' military industry was so developed that even the Southern Song Dynasty could hardly compete with the Mongols in this regard, and the city of Xiangyang was broken by the Hui artillery.

Only when the military industry and technology are developed can the country have the ability to protect itself. At this point, Zhao Ji did not dare to relax. Going to various countries to capture craftsmen is not realistic and unnecessary for the current Great Song Dynasty. After all, the craftsmanship of the Great Song Dynasty is more advanced, and the Great Song Dynasty is not short of craftsmen.

"When will the Holy One let me go back to China?" As soon as Ansari heard it, he understood that Zhao Ji was equivalent to putting him under house arrest.

"I think your country should be the Great Song Dynasty, right? Your wife and children will live well here, your children can go to school in the Great Song Dynasty, and even one day, they will be admitted to the four universities. Zhao said almost half-wooing and half-threatening.

Zhao Ji didn't know that Ansari was a university scholar, so naturally he would not have the idea of placing him under house arrest. Zhao Ji hopes that the businessman in front of him can return to Dashi and attract some of the cultural classics, craft techniques, and craftsmen there to the Great Song Dynasty. The craftsmanship and technology of Dashi were obtained, and then translated and compiled into the things of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, it is also good to broaden the horizons of the teachers and students of the four universities, so that they will not be arrogant.

"What does the Holy One want me to do?" Ansari thought that Zhao Ji wanted to use him to obtain the technology of big food, but when he heard that Zhao Ji did not restrict his freedom, but restricted the freedom of his family, he didn't understand.

"In two years, I will go west, fight India, fight the Seljuks, and then you will be able to return to China, but you still have to come back. I want all the humanistic texts and crafts of the heavenly world and the Christian world, and it would be better if I could find excellent craftsmen and scholars. Zhao Ji said his purpose.

"What? The saint must have been bewitched by Pu Yuanyi. The Holy One demanded that the grass people meet the Holy One and ask the Holy One to abandon this expedition. Ansari pleaded.

Ansari was an ethnic Persian, and after the Khorasan region where Persia was located was conquered by the Seljuks, the Persians were reused by the Seljuks and became loyal allies of the Seljuks. Naturally, Ansari was also oriented towards the Seljuks. West Asia is a very chaotic place, with very little mutual identification except for religion. At this time, the Celestial World was in a state of division and separation, and the Seljuk Empire soon followed in the footsteps of the Great Eclipse.

The basic political system of the heavenly world and the Christian world is the system of fiefdoms, which is the root cause of division and separation. An ordinary person in the Celestial World doesn't know how many nationalities there are. The Seljuk Empire itself was a secession country of the Great Eclipse, yet the Seljuk Empire was also divided, the division of the division. This was the result of the backward system of fiefdoms, and until later generations, Western Asia and Western Europe were still small countries.

"Do you know Pu Yuanyi?" Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Yes, we met in Champa and became friends. However, on many issues, I don't agree with him, I didn't expect him to be so crazy. Don't be fooled by him, this expedition across the ocean is not feasible for the Great Song Dynasty, and it will also damage the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty as a ceremonial state. Ansari explained.

"If you say it, maybe all the countries of India, including the Seljuks, will think it's a joke. However, there was a joke that made more people know the name of Da Song, and I was very happy. Zhao Ji responded with a smile.

Coming out of the pearl jewelry workshop, Zhao Ji got those walking beads as he wished, and took the pearl necklace ten days later. The "Bright Eye" was given to Liu Qi by Zhao Ji, which can be regarded as stabilizing the heart of Mingjiao. And Ansari received a holy decree from Zhao Ji, and had agreed and recommended him to be the dean of the Great Food College of the Civilization Academy, recruiting students from the Great Food School to study in the Great Song Dynasty, and agreeing that the Maritime School would be open to the feudal people. Zhao Ji also wrote a letter privately, introducing Ansari to Shen Kuo.

Guangzhou, port.

"Big brother." Xiao Yiyuan, who was ordered by Zhao Ji to come back from Lingya, saw Bai Bolang who was ordered to go to Ma Yi to investigate from a long distance.

"Brother Xiao, you're back. I said a long time ago that the officials will not do without you. When I come back this time, the official family will definitely be of great use. Bai Bolang hugged Xiao Yiyuan, patted Xiao Yiyuan's back and said.

"Commander Xiao, you have a deep brotherly relationship and envy people, you talk, I also have a few friends waiting for me. I took my leave. Li Chang, who was also brought back by Ling Ya, said.

"Master Li, please. Don't forget that in three days, you have to go to Quanzhou. The official family may summon us. Xiao Yiyuan reminded.

"Don't think about it, the official family estimates that they will never see us again in this life." Li Chang reminded Xiao Yiyuan not to dream for 100 days.

After Li Chang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Several officials came to greet him.

Xiao Yiyuan watched Li Chang's departure, sighed and said, "I offended the official family, and I am not treated by the official family." Liuqiu was originally a water thief, and he was not treated well by other officials of the Great Song Dynasty. How is the eldest brother doing this time? ”

"Alas, what's so good. You have offended the official family, and I have also offended the political affairs hall. Not long ago, the official family took my Eighth Town Haiwei Army to pacify the Tiansun Kingdom. This great achievement of destroying the country will be forgotten if it is not rewarded. On the contrary, the government affairs hall blamed me for sending troops without authorization and messing around with the officials, and I was demoted, and half of my salary was reduced. My whole family is still waiting for me to feed? Alas. Bai Bolang said depressedly.

"Alas, no one in the DPRK is difficult to be an official! Originally, I thought that Mr. Sima was in the court and could speak for us. I didn't expect to get into this situation. The officials probably won't trust me anymore. How is Big Brother in Guangzhou? Xiao Yiyuan also said depressedly.

Difficult brothers and sisters, spitting bitterness on each other, for a while remembered the happiness of being a water thief before.

"The official family ordered me to go to Mayi to survey the terrain and look for copper mines. The political affairs hall transferred a few people to me from the Tiangong Academy, but none of them could speak the local dialect of Mayi. The navigation line from Anping to Mayi is being explored, but the time limit of the government affairs hall is tight, and the mine must be found before the year. Next year there will be a big migration. I'm anxious. There is a route from Guangzhou to Mayi, and you may be able to find a few tongue people who understand Mayi here. Communicate directly with the indigenous people of Mayi, and you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Bai Bolang said uneasily.

The so-called tongue man was called a translator in later generations.

Bai Bolang was demoted, and there was less money, and the family was waiting for him to feed. Now he is most worried about whether the political affairs hall will continue to demote him if this matter is not done well.

"It's all my fault. The official family originally took good care of people like us. I have angered the officials, who now want us to do things, but they do not reward us. It's me who is the big brother. Xiao Yiyuan said gloomily.

When the brothers and sisters were spitting bitterness on each other, a big fat businessman who looked like a big cannibal walked towards Bai Bo and said, "May I ask the general, is it the white commander?" ”

This big fat businessman was Ansari's butler, named Shak, and took the Han name Anshak after the three major prohibitions were promulgated. After Ansari gave Ma Yi's map to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji ordered him to come to Bai Lang's aid and survey Ma Yi. Because only Guangzhou has a navigation line to Mayi, so he deliberately came to Guangzhou to wait for Bai Bolang, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the port, he saw Bai Bo's fleet, and saw Bai Bo wearing armor, so he came to ask.

"I've been demoted and now I'm just a general." Bai Bo said ashamedly.

"The little one is ordered by the official family to help General Bai. This is Mayi's map. Anshak handed over the map.

Bai Bolang picked it up and looked at it, his mood improved a lot, and he asked, "Do you know how to speak in the local language?" ”

Anshak nodded and said, "Naturally." Otherwise, how to help General Bai? ”

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, I'm going to get rich. Hahaha. I know that the officials will not treat us badly. Bai Bolang said excitedly, handing the map to Xiao Yiyuan.

"Big brother, no matter how the political hall demotes you, I believe the official family will compensate you. I hope that when I go to Quanzhou this time, the official family can summon me. Xiao Yiyuan took the map, understood it at a glance, and encouraged Bai Bolang to say.

Bai Bolang was an anxious child, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Yiyuan, he immediately arranged to go to sea.

The sea is vast, and it is difficult to determine the direction on the sea, but this is no longer a problem for the current Da Song. Anshak knew that Da Song had three ** treasures of navigation, and if he had an opinion, he walked into Bai Wave's cabin and said earnestly: "General, if there is anything you need to help a little one, just give me the order." ”

Bai Bolang was in the cabin, studying the map of Ma Yi given to him by Anshak, and when he saw Anshak coming, he responded: "Yes, this map is very detailed, and General Ben will not treat you badly." You go and rest first, and when you get to the place, I will call you. Don't run around on the boat, the rules in the army are very strict, and you will be executed as a spy, and you will not be able to row. ”

"Yes." Anshak said in disappointment. Originally, he wanted to go to the cockpit to see how the soldiers operated the three instruments, but now it was explicitly forbidden, and if he asked again, it was estimated that he would not be allowed.

"Master Zhang, how about this map, redraw it according to the drawing method of the longitude and latitude navigation chart, is it okay?" After Anshak left, Bai Bolang asked the surveyor sent by the political affairs hall.

"It should be possible, in this way, the route from Anping to Mayi can be determined." As he spoke, Mr. Zhang unfolded the parchment and prepared to redraw.

In this era, nautical charts meant treasures, which were passed down from generation to generation. Because of the snatching of a nautical chart, it is not uncommon for a lot of bloody cases to occur. With such a map dedicated, there must be something more desirable. Bai Lang, who used to be a water thief, knew the preciousness of this map, so he was even more wary of that Anshak.

There is no other paper to use for nautical charts than parchment. Once the other paper gets wet, it becomes pulp. On the sea, a hurricane, a torrential rain, it is possible to wet the chart. Nautical charts are related to the life of the people at sea, so naturally they have to use parchment.

The paper used by the Great Song Dynasty to print Jiaozi is also waterproof, but that kind of paper is specially used to print Jiaozi and is not circulated to the outside world. Moreover, the water resistance is not as good as parchment.

"Well, then I'll leave that to you. That big cannibal, I have to talk about the tone again and ask about the specific situation of Ma Yi. White Wave commanded.

Bai Bolang's tone made several scholars sent by the political hall very dissatisfied, and Bachelor Zhang asked rhetorically: "According to this bachelor's understanding, Ma Yi should also be the land of the original stream country, right?" In your own country, you still have to ask others about the situation? ”

It stands to reason that Ma Yi is indeed the land of the original Liuqiu country, but the original Liuqiu country is nothing more than a loose alliance formed by a group of water thieves. The so-called Ma Yi is also a saying that the land of the country is flowing, but it is just because there was originally a group of water thieves in Ma Yi who surrendered to Xiao Yiyuan.

Ma Yi, that is, the Philippines in later generations, at this time, there were very few natives on the island, only groups of black tribes, the big ones were no more than a thousand households, and the small ones were dozens of people, and it was estimated that the natives on the island would not exceed 30,000.

Merchants of the Great Song Dynasty generally did not go to Mayi to trade, because Mayi was too poor to buy anything. In addition to changing pearls, that is, changing pearls. is also often attacked by water thieves, so naturally few people will go to Mayi.

The situation is different now, the fleet of white waves, front and back, left and right, will have a large number of sea ships going to Mayi, so it seems that there are no more water thieves in Mayi. Of course, the possibility of some cannot be ruled out, because the average merchant fleet has a certain ability to deal with water pirates. At the very least, it can be guessed that the number of water thieves should not be large.

Bai Bolang thought that these scholars sent by the political hall were laughing at him for being a water thief before, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Do your own thing, and the rest can be ordered by the general." Otherwise, the sea will be stormy and rough, and it will be difficult to ensure your safety. ”

After Bai Lang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Something!" Bachelor Zhang spat in the direction where Bai Bolang left, and then said to the others: "Look at this map, the signs are so detailed, what else to survey, just report it directly to the political affairs hall." He just wanted to make a fortune on his own first, and saw that I didn't report it to the political affairs hall, saying that he was abolishing the public because of personal gain. ”
