The treasure ship that Shao Zhiqiu and the others took when they came was still a few days away from returning, Lu Dong and Shao Zhiqiu discussed it, and then left first, planning to go to the purchase of plants and talk to a nobleman of Danqi Country in advance, to explore the wind, and if possible, to give Danqi Kingdom more time to collect these plants.

And Qi Wu, Shao Zhiqiu and others were playing more and more happily accompanied by Jiang Qian.

It's a pity that they can only play near the port city, and if they go deeper, they will be regarded as alien onlookers by the locals, especially when they see that Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Run, who are women, have the same social status as men, which has aroused the suspicion and incomprehension of the foreign vassals.

There are even good deeds who will come forward to ask.

Shao Zhiqiu didn't expect that the status of the women of the outer domain was even worse than that of the Great Zhou, and sighed in her heart, if she couldn't see the women of the Great Zhou get more liberation before she closed her eyes, she was afraid that she would not be blind to death.

The harsh criticism and prejudice against women in this world are already deep-rooted, she doesn't like all this, she wants to change all this!

Qi Run, who is the only daughter of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can walk sideways in the Great Zhou, but now because of her gender, she is judged in a foreign land, this feeling is too bad for her!

For the first time in her life, she asked Shao Zhiqiu why, where women are worse than men, why men and women can't have equal rights, although she doesn't understand this word yet, it doesn't mean that she can't express what she means, Shao Zhiqiu looked at her daughter quietly, and for the first time she felt that this topic was heavy and she didn't want to answer.

And she knows that there are some things that can't be said too much to Run'er, otherwise with her character, she will start to act at the first time, instead of planning slowly.

But this matter is not urgent, she can only subtly influence the men in the world, so that they gradually recognize the fact that women can make a great contribution to this society in addition to childbearing, otherwise once the problem is solved by force, it will only make the problem more and more intensified and produce deeper contradictions.

Shao Zhiqiu couldn't get the answer she wanted, so Qi Run went to find her father, but Qi Wu didn't know how to explain it to her, and finally was entangled helplessly, Qi Wu had to tell Qi Run about the old Zhou Dynasty, the old female ring rules, and other old rituals about women.

Even the most noble woman recognized in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will be bound by all kinds of old rituals.

And this kind of restraint has gradually improved because of her mother, and because she is the only daughter of Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu, it makes her life in the palace better than that of the prince, which makes her become the person who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Qi Run, who heard the truth, didn't ease her spirits for a long time, there were many things she didn't understand, but she knew that since her father said it to her, it must be true.

But obviously she is better at kung fu than the royal brother and the royal brother, and the queen mother is also very powerful, since they can, then other women will be able to do it, so why do some people think that women can't do anything?

This matter was still too complicated for Qi Run, who was still young, until Shao Zhiqiu came to her room in private, quietly cooperated with her, and finally promised her that she would do her best to change the situation of women in the world, and Qi Run became happier.

Fortunately, she is a child, and she is very forgetful, and it didn't take long for these things to be forgotten, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking.

After another ten days, Lu Dong had already returned to meet them, and the two treasure ships were now full of goods transported back to Da Zhou, and Shao Zhiqiu and the others were about to prepare to leave for Beijing.

Danqi Guo agreed to collect plant seedlings, not only that, but they also agreed to collect most of the plants in the neighboring countries on their behalf, but in terms of remuneration, except for papermaking, they still did not exempt from financial remuneration, and for Da Zhou, they could still afford this bit of silver, and it was Shao Zhiqiu's decision, and the outcome was naturally not a problem.

Shao Zhiqiu and others stayed in Danqi for a month, plus the trip back and forth, they couldn't go back to the capital of Dazhou for half a year.

So Shao Zhiqiu simply told Lu Dong that she was not in a hurry, so there was no need to rush desperately.

Along the way, Qi Run wanted to go back and forth between the two treasure ships like a little monkey, and kept asking what goods were on the treasure ships, if he didn't know this noble status, he was afraid that if it was an ordinary child who made such a fuss, he would have been thrown into the sea long ago.

But now, the sailors looked at Lu Dong's doting smile at her, and everyone didn't even have thoughts and expressions.

There are three days to reach Luzhou, although it is not tense and dangerous along the way, but in the vast sea, after all, some people are still frightened.

Now that we are finally home, how can we make everyone unhappy?

Originally, Shao Zhiqiu took Qi Run and Qi Heng to rest in the cabin, but suddenly heard a flustered footsteps outside, the sound was very loud, Shao Zhiqiu was hurriedly startled, these people usually don't dare to walk like this, why are they suddenly so bold? But is something going on out there?

Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu hurriedly settled Qi Run and Qi Heng, and carefully told Qi Run to take care of his younger brother, they were definitely not allowed to go out if they didn't come back, so Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu came to the deck.

At this time, Jiang Qian also followed.

"What's wrong, what the hell is going on?" Shao Zhiqiu asked.

"Madame, be careful!" The sailors looked at Shao Zhiqiu without the slightest fear, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it was really different from ordinary women!

At this time, Lu Dong also rushed over from the stern.

"When the sailors were cruising, they noticed that there seemed to be a boat behind us, and we seemed to be being targeted."

"What?" Shao Zhiqiu looked at Lu Dong in surprise, could it be that he had met a bandit?

Sure enough, Lu Dong's next words proved Shao Zhiqiu's conjecture.

Hearing this, Qi Wu hurriedly asked about the armed forces on the two ships, while Shao Zhiqiu quickly rushed to the stern of the ship and began to search for the following ships.

The ship is not too big, it only follows far away and does not go forward, but I am afraid that it is just a stalker, so there must be their nest around here!

Shao Zhiqiu hurriedly called Lu Dong and asked him about the situation in this sea area, if he encountered pirates, whether it was a large number of pirates or some small fish and shrimp.

Although she had already thought in her heart, if it was a small fish and shrimp, if they encountered such a large fleet of them, they would not dare to provoke them, after all, in addition to their two treasure ships, there were many cargo ships following, and there were thousands of sailors alone, how could they dare to be so blatant?

Thinking of this, Shao Zhiqiu's heart tightened, he didn't expect the bandits here to be so rampant.
