209, Ningbo Shengjing

After going out to sea from Jinshan Wharf and heading straight to the south, Yi Yun first changed his profession to "24-hour self-house guard", using "Imperial House", after a long stay in Jiashan Oasis, his "24-hour self-house guard" proficiency has exceeded 90%, and it won't take many days for him to be promoted, which makes him feel ecstatic. What kind of second-order profession will this magical profession be after being promoted made him feel extremely yearning.

The only pity is that this profession is too slow to practice, only 1% a day, and you can't leave your home at 24 o'clock after using it, which is very unfavorable for doing things. It is best to practice only when you are on a boat, because the boat is your home, and it is very convenient to practice when your home can be moved.

In order not to lose his way, after using the "Otaku", Iyun quickly changed his profession to a first-order "foot merchant", which can correctly grasp the south, east, west, and northwest at any time and will not get lost.

The Golden Merry was full of sails and sailed fast on the sea, and the Hangzhou Bay in Jinshan was more than seventy miles wide, and it took a day for the sea ship to cross the Hangzhou Bay, and land began to appear in the south. On this day, Yi Yun didn't dare to practice "Imperial House" anymore, because he might go ashore at any time.

Yi Yun saw a piece of greenery on the land in front of him from a distance, and before Luo Leg Mao could open his mouth, Chen Yuanyuan smiled first: "That is Cixi Oasis, famous for making porcelain, although the porcelain made here is not as famous as Jingdezhen, but it is also very powerful, especially good at celadon." ”

Yi Yun nodded and said: "This oasis is close to Ningbo, so the porcelain here must have been ordered by the merchants of Ningbo a long time ago, and it is impossible for us to buy goods here." ”

"That's right!" Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you are really hidden, and you know business things so clearly. ”

"Hey!" Yi Yun smiled and said nothing, will buddy tell you that this is the common sense of the future generations?

The Golden Melly began to move south along the coastline, and Eyun saw that there were many squares on the seashore, a bit like fields, but there were no crops in them, only a lot of sand in them......

"What is this doing?" said Iyunki.

"This is drying salt...... Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile: "Scoop up the sea sand in the sea and put it in the salt pan, let the sun shine, whenever the wind blows, the dried sea sand will float away, leaving the salt in the salt pan." This is how the people along the coast make salt and sell it to smugglers, who then sell it to the interior and make a lot of money. Shi Wenliu, the salt merchant we met last time, was engaged in this. ”

"Is it profitable to sell illicit salt? Let's do it too. "Iyun was overjoyed.

"This ...... It's illegal. Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said: "I am a law-abiding citizen, and I don't dare to do this." As the prince, you should take the lead in abiding by the law, if the prince sells illegal salt, this big cute country doesn't know what the chaos will be. ”

"Cut!" Yi Yun crooked his mouth and said: "Except for my cousin Han Daosi and Zhao Yunxuan, I haven't seen a serious prince yet, and the Great Meng Kingdom has long been in chaos." Oh, no, although Han Daosi and Zhao Yunxuan don't do bad things, they can't be serious and unreliable. Speaking of which, the most reliable prince in this big cute country is me!"

Luo Lemao next to him crooked his mouth and complained: "You are also the most serious prince like this? ”

After the Cixi Oasis and continued along the coast, the sea began to be lively, and from time to time huge sailing ships would pass by Yi Yun and their ships, one was bigger than the other, Yi Yun always thought that he was riding this sea ship was big, but after seeing these ships, he realized that he was a very small ship.

After walking for a while, a fleet of ships began to appear around, a dozen ships and a team, and a large white sail shadow walked in a group, and the sail shadow was in the sky. ...,

Luo's leg hair began to tense up, telling the bandits to get their weapons ready.

Yi Yun said in surprise: "Why are you so nervous?"

Luo Lemao said with a smile: "You don't know about this sea, the sea is a lawless place, a kind businessman, in a place where there is no government management, he may become a pirate at any time." Our ship is small, and it is very likely that we will be targeted by a strong ship. ”

"Oh!" Yi Yun immediately understood, in fact, during the Age of Discovery, most of the merchant fleets on the sea were also pirate fleets, usually doing serious business, and occasionally visiting a robber, anyway, no one knew what was going on the sea, and when they encountered other caravans on the sea, as long as they judged that the combat effectiveness of others was not as good as their own, it was very likely to go up and grab them.

When you return home, who knows if the goods you shipped back were looted or bought?

This is a world that absolutely speaks by strength, regardless of your royal nobles, when you go to the sea, only cannons and swords can help you speak, everything else is nothing, and Yi Yun's status as a prince is useless on the sea......

Yi Yun was not nervous, the protagonist's aura, but seeing that the ships passing by him were bigger than the other, he also began to get nervous, and slowly walked to the side of the bow cannon, thinking: If someone comes to rob me, I will be transferred to an artillery bombardment of him.

As soon as I thought of this, a huge Spanish galleon sailed by, this galleon was more than three times larger than the Golden Merry that Iwan was riding, the huge hull was like a water fortress, the sails stretched out were simply towering into the sky, Iyun swept his eyes casually, there were twenty cannons on the side chord of this Spanish galleon, and if you count the side chord on the other side, there were more than forty cannons, plus the bow gun and stern gun, close to fifty.

"I'll wipe it!" Yi Yun was taken aback: "Pit daddy! Lao Tzu's ship only has two cannons, if there is an artillery battle, Lao Tzu will be bombed into ashes in an instant." ”

Luo Lemao said with a heavy face: "That's right...... Lord Wang, the sea ship technology of our Dameng country is more than one street worse than that of Westerners, and if there is a naval battle, we will definitely lose...... Fortunately, our ship is small, people will not be interested in robbing such a small ship, and it is close to Ningbo Port, and robbery here will have a bad impact, and Westerners will not mess around. ”

Yi Yun nodded, unhappy in his heart: "Doesn't this mean that we still rely on the boat and the villain is not eye-catching, so we picked up a life? Nima, no, how can I engage in sea trade in the future? It seems that I will make more money, and I will also build a galleon." ”

Although Luo Leg Mao said that Westerners would not come to rob their boats, but his expression was still very solemn, as an old brand of water bandits, he knew that there was no fairness in the water world, only to bully the small with the big and the strong to bully the weak, as the weak side, must not be taken lightly. All fifty of his bandits were nervously armed and ready to deal with the conflict.

Fortunately, the Golden Merry was too small, and the Spanish galleon really didn't take Yi Yun and the others seriously, just rowed from a hundred meters away, and didn't come up to provoke, but a few blonde and blue-eyed heads stuck out of the strings of the ship, and laughed at the boat on Yi Yun's side, although Yi Yun couldn't hear it, he could guess that people were laughing at their boat.

Yi Yun gave the Spaniard an unhappy middle finger: "When I have a big boat, I will blast you all into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Sailed south for a while, into the gray turtle ocean, the coastline on the right hand of Yiyun has completely turned green, the huge Ningbo oasis finally came into view, the first imprint into Yiyun's eyes, is so many that it is difficult to see the sails, on the shore of the oasis, from north to south, chaotically unfold countless sail shadows, some large and small, some high and some low. There are white sails, there are gray sails, and there are yellow sails...... There are hard sails, there are soft sails, there are triangular ones, there are ......... with four corners,

The high and low masts were as dense as a forest, denser than the trunks of the trees, and large swaths of seabirds fluttered and jumped on the sails, and from time to time there was a light and crisp bird's cry.

Underneath the mast, there are all kinds of sea ships, among which the fortune boats of the Great Moe Country are the majority, from small to large, filling the docks. There are also many Fuso-style customs ships in the middle, which are exactly the same as the one that Yiyun sailed from.

The largest ships were Spanish galleons from the West, which were hundreds of feet long and more than thirty feet wide, with a long and narrow hull, a huge ramming angle in the bow, a ship tower in the stern, and dozens of Franco cannons on both sides of the ship. These terrifying monsters were so majestic in the port of Ningbo, all the ships next to them were a little shorter, and the number of cannons and the sturdiness of the hull were a few streets behind the Spanish sailing ships. Fortunately, there are not many such monster-level ships in Ningbo, and Yi Yun used the "Distant Look" skill to look closely, but he did not find more than ten, which shows that Spain does not have sufficient combat power on the sea near here.

Every ship in the harbor was full of people, and many of the large ships leaning on the shore were loading and unloading, and Iyun saw people carrying large and small bags of silk and porcelain to a huge Spanish galleon, but there was nothing to carry down in the Spanish galleon.

Dameng is rich in materials and basically does not need foreign products, so these Spanish businessmen can only spend money in Ningbo, but they cannot make money in Ningbo...... It's a very distressing thing for them. In the historical time and space where Yi Yun lived, the Westerners did not find suitable goods to sell to Chinese in the end, so they had to send opium as a poison...... Directly led to the later anti-smoking and opium wars.

As soon as Yiyun's Golden Merry arrived at the outskirts of the port, a small wooden boat flew up to meet her, there were four people on board, three of them were rowing, and the leader shouted loudly: "I am the inspector of Ningbo Oasis City, Dameng Country...... Your ship needs to be inspected ......"

"Shrimp?" Yi Yunqi said, "What is it?"

Chen Yuanyuan next to him hurriedly whispered: "The City Shipping Division is a yamen set up by Dameng State, which is responsible for managing Ningbo's maritime trade, in short, it is a maritime trade yamen. This yamen was generally run by eunuchs. ”
