If it weren't for Liu Ren's willingness to remind him, Yun Ye would have almost forgotten that he was in a foreign land.

There was no way for the fleet to move forward, because the remaining food and supplies were no longer enough to hold out to the distant country of Flynn, not to mention that the pirates were surprisingly calm during this time, whether it was the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, or the Great Food Pirates, they all seemed to have disappeared, and even the always arrogant South Sea pirates were hiding.

If it is said that they retreated because they were afraid of Yun Ye, this reason was really funny, and the pirates did not have fear in their words, no matter what group of pirates they were.

"Master Hou, they must be waiting on our way back, just planning to slaughter our fat sheep, the rest of the merchants have slowly gathered in Java, just waiting for us to escort them home, okay, this time the profit is 20% of ours."

"There is almost no spring and summer here, I almost forgot the time, since old friends are waiting for me, how can we disappoint them, when will the trade winds blow?"

"There is still half a month at most, and we have stayed on these islands for too long." Liu Renyuan has been surveying around these islands these days, and has recorded these places in the nautical chart, which is coated with wax to make it waterproof, and finally put it into a sealed copper pipe that Yun Ye has personally collected.

Li Tai broke open the huge lobster and soaked it in the sauce and vinegar sauce, and the snow-white shrimp meat was eaten by him in one bite, a pot helmet, a bite of lobster, he thought it was the most delicious to eat in this way.

"Pay attention to it, the lobster should be tasted slowly, and it is the most wonderful taste in the world with rice wine, what is the reason why you eat it with a pot helmet?"

"Who told you that you have to eat it with rice wine? What's wrong with me wearing a pot helmet? I used to eat noodles without garlic cloves, but now it's different? In the future, Datang will eat lobster is a pot helmet, which is innovated by Li Tai, the king of Wei, sue you. Eating lobster and pot helmet together has an extremely comfortable feeling, soft with hard, hard with soft, one bite hard, one bite soft, and the fun is endless. The flavor of wheat mixed with lobster is something I will never forget in my life. ”

Yun Ye broke a lobster clip, after breaking it, he took out the white meat inside, soaked it in the vinegar water like Li Tai, sandwiched it in the pot helmet, ate a big bite, chewed it twice, and found that what Li Tai said was indeed true, and the taste was wonderful. (This is the author's personal experience.) Lobster with pot helmet, endlessly interesting) couldn't help but give Li Tai a thumbs up.

In fact, the process of working is a process of picking up money, no matter how much spice you have, it will be completely swallowed up by the vast market of Datang in the end, and I have never heard of anyone's spices that cannot be sold.

The spice trees in this mountain are all treasures. The Tang people have always had the habit of fishing with all their might, and they cherish every spice tree very much. Hee Tong saw the fallen spice tree and even kicked some black dirt to cover it.

After three months of busyness, the spices collected filled five merchant ships, which was less than 20% of the output of the entire island, and no matter how precious the spices were, Liu Renyuan would not allow more spices than the weight of the crew's personal salute, according to the practice of the Lingnan sailors. Individuals are allowed to carry no more than twenty pounds of cargo, which is a rule, and everyone from the captain to the sailor is not allowed to violate it.

Battleships were meant to be used for combat purposes, not ships for loading. If it weren't for Yun Ye's grinning character, he would never agree to a pound of goods on board. Liu Renyuan is no longer the offspring who is obsessed with the sea for the sake of mermaids, and now Liu Renyuan is already a qualified commander on the water.

The loading capacity of the merchant ship has reached the limit, and seeing the side of the ship with a very deep draft, Yun Ye asked Liu Renyuan worriedly, will there be a problem in doing this, in case the ship is sunk, it will be boring.

Liu Ren is willing to answer, the person who loaded so many spices was Yun Ye, and now he is worried about asking if he will load too much, the main sail does not dare to hang, only dares to use the auxiliary sail to slowly walk towards Java, and the Tang businessmen who have ended their business are all waiting for the arrival of the fleet there, and when the trade winds rise, everyone will go home, and after wandering for half a year, it is time to go home.

Disturbing news keeps coming, some merchant ships who have come back after nine deaths and lives have lingering palpitations to tell about the ferocity of those pirates on the open sea, the pirates of the Great Food Country have chased over, the king of Java is not used at all, only Datang's own warships can protect everyone, but the battleships have been delayed, many businessmen have begun to prepare to pull anchor and set sail now, they have earned money, they don't want to wait for death in Java, the spy ship of the Big Food Pirates has been haunted for two days.

Just when the trade winds had already blown and everyone was completely desperate for the warships, Yun Ye returned to Java with three warships and five merchant ships that were as slow as ox carts.

The merchant ships entered the bay, the giant ship brutally chased the big food pirate, the three warships almost did not shoot, relying on the strong power of the three sails, the strong power from the big food pirate's high-tail ship ran over, after the giant ship, there were only some broken wooden planks and sundries on the sea, and the pirates who were struggling to swim in the sea were also killed by the crossbow one by one.

"Master Hou, what is on your merchant ship? How does old decay smell like spices? "The shopkeeper of the Feng family is familiar with Yun Ye, as soon as the merchant ship docks, he will go to the merchant ship to swing, I want to see if the prince and the marquis who have never gone to sea to do business have been deceived by the beard, the five ships are full, if they are deceived, the loss will be great, the lion country is rich in tin soil, if that thing is transported back, it will be bad, you can't make a sword, you can't make a house, you can only make some wine jugs and the like, only those who make fake silverware use tin, at the beginning it was still bright and bright and silver is no different, and after a long time, it will become black, When it fell to the ground, it fell into several petals, and it was so brittle that it was not useful.

Before I got to the side of the boat, there was a unique smell of spices, and the old seafarer recognized it in the same way, God, this is cloves, this is cinnamon, and there is actually nutmeg? My God, is it said that the ship is full of spices? What a lot of money does this have, the prince didn't find them bringing goods when they set off.

"Ha, Lao Feng, you're right, it's spices, and there are a lot, the battleship is not allowed to load goods, it's all thrown away, only bring these back." Yun Ye flicked his ears, and the screams of those dying big cannibals just now seemed to be still circling in his ears, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Throw, throw?" Lao Feng almost rushed up desperately with red eyes, he went to sea countless times, only one or two times he could meet a big food merchant trafficking spices, as long as he encountered it, he would do whatever it took to get these spices, no matter how big the price was, he would make a lot of money after coming back, how could such a precious goods be thrown away.

Feng Zhiyong got off the ship, hurriedly dragged the shopkeeper Feng away, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Nine, Master Hou is not wrong, just throw it away, we picked too much, Liu Ren of the dog day is willing not to allow the battleship to bring goods, the three battleships are not allowed, otherwise there can be more." ”

"Picked it yourself?" Shopkeeper Feng's voice was already broken, "You have attacked the spice garden of the big cannibal?" ”

"No, Yunhou just found some islands at random, the islands are full of spices, cheap spices such as laurel leaves Yunhou is not allowed to pick, only let choose the most expensive ones, in addition to the share on the merchant ship, there are twenty catties here, and the same is true for other brothers, I will let them gather together and hand them over to you in a while, in case Yunhou wants to go to Spice Island again, we can still pick some more, don't hide it from you, when the little nephew saw the spices thrown away, he had the mind to kill Liu Renyuan."

Old Feng didn't say a word, opened the pocket that Feng Zhiyong handed over to him, and found that it was full of nutmeg, grabbed a handful, picked one and threw it in his mouth to identify the fake, and within two tears came down, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhiyong, is there really an island full of spices?" Don't coax your ninth uncle, do you know where it is, if our Feng family knows the place, within two years, we will be the richest man in Datang. ”

Feng Zhiyong sighed and said: "I have seen the island, and I have also seen the spices all over the mountains, although the island is full of poisonous snakes, but it is really a treasure mountain, Uncle Jiu, I am also pampered, can you think that I have picked spices for three months in one breath with my back pocket?" My hands were peeled, and the bark of the laurel tree cut all the palms of my hands, and I didn't feel anything, and I was thinking about picking more and picking more.

The area is complicated, and if you want to find it, unless you have the ability of Yunhou, he seems to know that there is such an island there, and after taking us around the sea for seven or eight days, he found the island accurately, except for him, maybe only Liu Renyuan knows, because he also has to make a sea chart. “

Lao Feng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and tried to calm himself down, patted Feng Zhiyong's shoulder and said: "Look, this is the benefit of going to sea early, it's not too late for our family to go to sea now, you also think of it, the Yun family wants to really cross the sea, that's his son who doesn't follow his surname, he seems to regard going to sea as a play, so our family still has at least ten years, Zhiyong, don't care about treasures, don't think about spices, learn your skills well, learn your skills well, and you will have anything you want in the future." ”

Feng Zhiyong nodded and turned around and got on the merchant ship loaded with spices, these five ships were too much to load, and they needed to be transferred to other cargo ships, the trade winds were up, time was more precious than gold, and they needed to hurry.

Liu Ren was willing to summarize the news obtained by the merchants and handed it to Liu Fang, Liu Fang studied it all night, and then said to Yun Ye with the chart: "You are a fat pig now, everyone is eyeing you, you see, there is a narrow waterway between this peninsula and the island, which is the place where you plan to send troops to garrison in the future, and people have also taken a fancy to it, and are ready to ambush you here." There are enemies in front of you, left and right, how do you deal with it? “

Yun Ye wrinkled his nose and said: "This is your job, why do you come to ask me, but ah, I think it is a good idea to enter the waterway, here the merchant ships are not easy to attack, our three big ships can control the entire waterway, drain their strength here, and then chase after the bandits, Mr. Liu, I can say very responsibly, the combat power of our three ships will not be much smaller than that of the Lingnan Naval Division, you may want to go to the ship to see what they are equipped with and then say bad things." (To be continued......)
