Chapter 14: Return Voyage

Zhuo Dehou's work efficiency was very fast, and after talking to Zhao De about buying this mirror, he immediately returned to the pawnshop and sent his men to the warehouses opened by various Chinese merchants in Bacheng to buy them one by one according to the materials on the purchase list, and designated them to be sent to the dock.

By noon the next day, the cabin of Zhao De's small sailboat was already crowded with piled goods, and at noon, Zhuo Dehou came to the dock again.

This time there is also the remaining silver and the price list of various goods purchased, except for all the goods, after the mirror is sold, there are more than 5,000 taels of silver left, which does not make Zhao De feel a little lamented that spending money is too fast, but when I think of the continuous energy from the Australians in the future, I don't feel that the money is a little fast.

"Ship Master Zhao, Zhuo has booked a box in Jude Building, and please get together to let me do my best as a landlord."

"This, how can you make the shopkeeper Zhuo so expensive, speaking of which, you have helped me a lot, and I should invite this meal." Zhao De said politely.

After a few glasses of wine, the relationship between the two is closer than a day ago, Chinese have been like this since ancient times, wine and meat make friends, and a few glasses of wine will say everything.

"Brother Zhao, I don't know something, it stands to reason that when you go back to Daming, you should load Bacheng's native products, but why did you buy some daily necessities, seeds and the like."

"Oh, you said this, since Brother Zhuo asked, then I, then I, I'll tell you," Zhao De said a little drunk: "These materials are all for the former Song Dynasty, and there was a catastrophe there, so many things need to be rebuilt." ”

Although Zhuo Dehou also drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk, he heard it very clearly, the four words of the former Song Dynasty relics, and he couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't heard it, could it be that there were other places in the land of Nanyang.

"The remnants of the former sent by Brother Zhao are living in Luzon." Zhuo Dehou asked tentatively.

"No, no, the remnants of the people I said are living in this way, and it takes more than ten days for the boat to arrive." Zhao De shook his hand to explain, and then fell drunk on the table.

When he woke up on the second day, he had slept in the bedroom of the cabin, and called Zhao Sanyi to ask about the situation, only to know that he was drunk yesterday, and was finally sent back by Zhuo Dehou, and then asked if Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun had come back.

At this time, Liu Yun and Zhao Shijie were in trouble, because they were followed, and there was more than one, after Liu Yun's calculations, there were at least ten people who followed them, which made him very puzzled, except for the fact that the two of them were dressed a little strangely, there was no difference, even eating and settling the bill with silver was extremely careful, and never leaked money, what are these people tracking themselves for.

However, they can be sure that there must be no good thing, and they must not return to the dock now, because Zhao Shijie said that piracy in Southeast Asia during this period was very rampant, and they sent close detectives in Luzon, Batavia and many other cities to observe the objects that could be robbed.

Now Liu Yun had begun to suspect that these people were pirates, and the two chatted as they walked.

"Lao Zhao, I'm sure these people are definitely the pirates you said, if that's the case, we'll be in trouble, we must not return to the ship now, once we are targeted, all our goods will be robbed as soon as we go to sea."

Zhao Shijie thought for a while and replied: "That's right, it's just that it's not a way for us to keep consuming like this, if Zhao De doesn't wait for us to start the boat, then we will have to stay in Bacheng, so it's better to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible, this is your specialty, don't tell me, you can't even deal with a group of pirates in the 17th century." ”

"Okay, look at me, it's not easy to get rid of them, let's go into the ready-to-wear shop in front of us later, and buy a few clothes, I can guarantee that I won't recognize them even if I walk beside them."

Inside the ready-to-wear shop. Liu Yun stuffed a short hexagram linen into Zhao Shijie's hand: "Put it on, and then I'll help you put this on." ”

Liu Yun raised the handful of black hair in his hand and said with a smile, obviously he was already confident.

A few minutes later, two coolie dressed men with square scarves wrapped around their heads and short hangers in sackcloth walked out of the ready-to-wear shop.

"Are you sure we really have no problem dressing up like this, it's just a change of clothes and a mustache that you can't recognize." Zhao Shijie said with some worry.

"It's okay, I'm sure those idiots won't recognize it, don't look at it as a small change."

"Okay, maybe."

The two headed towards a stalker, who saw that the two were barely unusual.

"How about it, I said that these idiots won't find out," Liu Yun said proudly: "Let's go, let's go back to the dock, if you don't go, I guess Zhao De will be in a hurry." ”

Back in the cabin, Liu Yun told Zhao De about his being followed, Zhao De analyzed that the pirates estimated that the two of them were dressed strangely, and wanted to find out which ship they were on, but fortunately they didn't find out which ship they were on.

"Ship Master Zhao, if you encounter pirates, how will you deal with them?" Zhao Shijie asked.

Zhao De paused: "Generally speaking, there are several methods, the first is to escape, the second is to fight, but it depends on the number of ships and the number of people on the other side, if it is only a few, it will generally be a fight, and there is a pirate to deal with, generally speaking, pirates only rob goods, and occasionally encounter red-haired pirates They rob people." ”

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Shijie probably understood, which means that the danger of encountering pirates is not as terrible as it is said in the TV series, and if so, it can be a lot more reassuring.

Looking at Zhao Shijie in a daze, Liu Yun pushed his hand: "What do you think, so engrossed." ”

"I just imagined how dangerous it would be to encounter pirates, and I don't know if the military and industrial teams have completed the transformation of the artillery and the Sea Blue."

With Zhao Shijie's mention, the two stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, and they began to miss the Manchester City base unconsciously.

At the same time, the newly built dock at the Manchester City base was already full of people, and one of them was a white-haired old man standing in the front, shaking hands with Wang Tiehammer.

Huang Lao is thanks to you this time, otherwise the Sea Blue would have been moored at the dock, I thank you on behalf of the Australian Navy, in the future in the history of the Australian Navy, there will definitely be your strong stroke.
