The escort fleet of fifteen ships, plus two official transport ships, loaded with cargo, was ready to go to sea.

In order to facilitate the merchants of the Northland to go to sea, by the way, to deter countries with ulterior motives.

After leaving the dock in Jinxin County, the escort fleet passed through Hulu County, Gufeng County, and Shunling County along the way...... Finally, it stopped at Lu Pass.

Here, the fleet is expanding more and more, and the small merchant ships of the private sector follow behind the escort ships, densely packed, there are hundreds of them, and they look very spectacular.

"Dad, I'm leaving!"

In Luojia Village, Luo Erzhu put on his bags, brought the tea and other things he purchased by himself, brought his savings over the years, and followed the carriage of the government to Luguan.

"Okay, Erzhu, take care of yourself with the folks!"

Luo Jinrong's eyes were full of tears, and many people in the village were willing to go out to sea with the fleet to see, they either went up to the ship to do odd jobs, or they were ready to do some small business with them, but without exception, they were full of confidence.

As an envoy of Goryeo, Kim Cheon-po was invited to stand on the high city walls and keep his eyes fixed on the fleet in the distance.

The subordinates next to him were full of disbelief: "Lord Jin, what is that?" How could there be such a big ship! ”

Jin Tianbao's hands are going to grab the bricks of the city wall.

Their Goryeo and Bangzi countries are most proud of their shipbuilding skills, and they still thought that they could dominate the sea.

But now, look at the ships of the Northland? Whether it's size or tonnage, it's not something they can compete with.

What's more, he heard that this escort ship was all made of iron.

Ironware! How could there be a boat made of iron that could still float on the water?

Without sails, you can still run so fast?

What's even more terrifying is that on the ship, there is a long tube of cylindrical things, others don't know, how can he not know? That's artillery!

Mu Jingyi actually loaded the cannon onto the ship. This is mobile artillery!

If the fleet sails to their Goryeo, will there be any way to fight back?

Jin Tianbao's mood is really not happy.

The envoys of several other small countries, for some reason, also stayed in the Northland, and they were also dignified at this time.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, I don't know where you are going on this trip?" Jin Tianbao asked worriedly.

"The first voyage was all about pathfinding. Therefore, the fleet will always follow the coastline not far away, go south, pass through Minzhou in the south, and after leaving Dachu, go to Guli."

As soon as Mu Jingyi's words came out, Jin Tianbao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Goryeo is in the northeast of the North Land, and they should have no intention of them when they go south.

However, I still have to go back as soon as possible and tell the king that the north must be befriended, and we must be befriended as soon as possible.

Wei Jingzhou and other merchants stood on their fleet, smiling and waving frequently at the fathers and elders on the shore.

"Su Kongqing, Cai Yuxuan, I'll leave it to you!" Mu Jingyi's big hand pressed on the young man's shoulder, giving him a heavy hope.

"Don't worry!" Su Kongqing didn't say much.

Cai Yuxuan also smiled, with a high-spirited face, "Lord Wang, just wait for me to come back by opening a sea road." ”

"Princess, won't you say a few words?"

Cai Yuxuan looked at Luo Xiaoqiao, this little girl is really powerful, such a fleet, those who don't know only think that it is the credit of Tianji Pavilion, and only those courtiers who know the inside story know that without her, there would be no such a huge fleet!

"The coal transported on the ship is about enough for a year and a half, you calculate the time, leave some margin, and it is best to return to the ship in half a year. Binoculars, artillery, and other necessary items are all on board, remember to use them, take care of yourself, and we'll wait for you to get back. ”

Luo Xiaoqiao looked at them, his eyes flashing in the daylight, "Remember to find me seeds, all kinds of edible and usable seeds."

The Qian family is also among them, and they sent out the fourth master of Qian, who is extremely capable.

"Master, King Jing once came to ask if we should buy one of their cargo ships, so the old lady refused, and now it seems that he miscalculated."

The subordinate Qian Fu rubbed his eyes, looked at the big ships, and said with very hot eyes.

Not only him, but other merchants were also very hot-eyed.

At that time, as soon as the news of the sea was released from the Northland, they had already found the largest dock and built ships.

Thinking that they would definitely be able to dominate the crowd of merchants, who would have thought that after these ships named "Yuan Shuo" were launched, they realized how much of a frog they were in the well before.

These days, following those escort ships with iron oil and oil, it is a kind of down-to-earth feeling in daunting.

There is a lot of risk at sea, and with this fleet, even if they just follow, they will feel a lot more stable.

However, although there is no such boat, they have bought a lot of matching maps, binoculars and other things, and they felt very painful at the time, but now that they think about it, they think it is worth it.

……

It's mid-December, it's winter, and Luo Xiaoni's belly is becoming more and more conspicuous.

"How's Ni's appetite now?"

Luo Zhiyong's daughter-in-law, holding one-year-old Azhuo in her arms, came to see her.

"Sister-in-law, I'm much better, don't worry."

Luo Zhiyong's daughter-in-law sighed, "Zhiping too, knowing that you are pregnant, you still have to go to sea with you, you see that this makes the family frightened." ”

Luo Xiaoni was actually really worried, especially when she just left, she couldn't sleep all night.

A month before Luo Zhiping left, he accompanied her at home every day, although he didn't say anything, Luo Xiaoni could guess it from his chat with Luo Erzhu and others.

"Brother Zhiping, do you want to go to sea?" Luo Xiaoni once asked.

"Xiaoni, I want to go and see, but you're pregnant......"

"Brother Zhiping, you can go if you want, there are parents and Xiao Qiao at home, you don't have to worry about me", Luo Xiaoni said.

Luo Zhiping stood for a long time after hearing this, and the two had not talked about this topic for several days.

Three days before leaving, Luo Zhiping finally mustered up the courage: "Xiaoni, I know you don't want anything, but I want to give you and the child a rich future, I hope that after the child is born, I can tell him that his father has been to many places, and when he grows up, he will take him to see." ”

Luo Xiaoni had already figured it out, especially when she saw those big ships with her own eyes and saw the Wujiawei on them...... She had already made up her mind, man, to let him go out for a walk.

……

The sister-in-law's words made her come back to her senses from her memories.

Zhiyong's daughter-in-law saw that Luo Xiaoni didn't speak, and immediately secretly slapped herself, "Xiaoni, look at me, which pot is not opened." You don't have to worry, Zhiping has been lucky since he was a child, and he is also smart, he will definitely come back safely. ”

Luo Xiaoqiao also hugged her on the side, "Sister, don't worry, the boat I shot on, as long as it doesn't encounter a particularly big disaster, it will be fine, Brother Zhiping has to come back to deliver the child!" ”

Several people talked for a while, and when the sky darkened, Zhiyong's daughter-in-law went back with the child.

Luo Xiaoni and Luo Xiaoqiao went back to the Luo family compound together.
