The favor is over.
Zhu Xuan stayed on the boat, waiting for departure tomorrow.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, Wu Yongfeng ran over and said: "Half of my inventory was sold at the auction. Even if the remaining half cannot be sold, I will not lose money. Thank you Your Highness for being willing to help me."
In his mind, Zhu Xuan's image instantly became very tall.
After returning, he must immediately make up for the membership fee, become a real member of the Panyu Chamber of Commerce, hug Zhu Xuan's thigh, and repay the kindness.
If Zhu Xuan could become emperor, he even thought that he could become a great hero.
I feel excited just thinking about it.
Zhu Xuan said: "You are a probationary member of our Chamber of Commerce. I will give you certain resources. This is the rule of our Chamber of Commerce."
In doing so, he actually wanted to further win back Wu Yongfeng's heart.
Wu Yongfeng promised: "In the future, if other members of our Panyu Chamber of Commerce join, as long as His Highness says a word, there will be no problem for me to help anyone. Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Okay, you go down and rest!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Xuan waved his hand gently.
Wu Yongfeng thanked him again and left.
"Brother, you conquered Wu Yongfeng."
Xu Miaojin could see Zhu Xuan's thoughts and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is so simple to conquer a person. When he is in the most difficult time, you can just give him help when he needs it. But what is the use of conquering a businessman?"
Zhu Xuan pointed to the container and said: "Those things that are bartered and exchanged back need a capable person to help us turn them into cash or food. Wu Yongfeng is the most suitable. He is actually a good person."
Xu Miaojin agreed: "Brother, you are so thoughtful. When will I be as smart as you?"
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Sister Miaojin has always been very smart."
Xu Miaojin is very smart, but she doesn't show it much at ordinary times. Just following Zhu Xuan is enough.
——
The next morning.
The two warships are ready and are about to set off on a long voyage.
The three of them, Yue Changxing, came to the port to see them off. They were glad that they could actually save a small life. His Highness did not care about those things.
"Your Highness is much more merciful than Your Majesty!" Yue Changxing was thinking in his heart.
Watching the warship go further and further away, they went back to handle official business, but at this moment, Wang Yu hurried over and shouted: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong, Your Highness..."
His shouting voice was quickly covered by the sea breeze, and Zhu Xuan and the others were far away and could not hear it at all.
Even if they heard it, no one would pay attention to him.
The ship left the old port and headed for Malacca. The distance was not very far. After a while, it came to the edge of the strait. Zhu Xuan could see that there were several forts under construction on the shore of the strait.
It was probably Yue Changxing who took action to collect tariffs here, and he moved very quickly.
Passing through the Strait of Malacca, they headed westward, with a panoramic view of the majestic waves, which was very spectacular.
However, if you see too much of the sea, you will get bored easily.
They were basically in the cabin, making a pot of tea, eating some cakes, and sailing leisurely with the warship. After passing through the strait, they walked for two more days and arrived near a country called Ceylon.
Ceylon, and henceforth Sri Lanka.
"Your Highness, should we stop in front?"
Wu Yongfeng knew Ceylon. When he went to sea in the past, these were all within the scope of his activities.
The road to sailing to the west is still led by Wu Yongfeng, who has also recorded various routes to form a complete overseas navigation chart to facilitate later generations to go to sea.
"Is this Ceylon?"
Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said: "We will stop over and see if we can sell a batch of goods."
"Ashore!"
Hou Xian shouted loudly.
At the same time, they waved the order flag so that the helmsman on the Panyu ship could also see their orders.
The Hongwu ship and the Panyu ship sailed towards Ceylon at the same time.
When they docked at the port of Ceylon, their big ship instantly caused a sensation. People here had never seen such a huge thing before, and they came out to watch.
They rounded southern Ceylon and docked at Colombo.
Wu Yongfeng understood their local language. He first communicated on the deck to express friendship, and then explained that it was His Highness the Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty who came to trade with them with a large amount of goods.
The Ceylonese and Wu Yongfeng communicated for a while, and soon someone went back to send a message to their king. After a while, another large group of people appeared on the shore.
Wu Yongfeng continued to communicate with them. After the discussion was completed, he said: "Your Highness, we can get off the boat."
"Put down the gangway, and Jin Yiwei will disembark first."
Zhu Xuan was a little cautious and asked Jin Yiwei to go down to defend himself, holding the pistol in his hand.
After all, this is a foreign country and anything can happen.
The Jin Yiwei led by Yan Guan went down to complete the defense. Zhu Xuan took Xu Miaojin's hand and walked down the gangway. The soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and the personal guards also disembarked together. The neat appearance of the Ming army shocked the people of Ceylon.
"I have met His Highness the Ming Dynasty Emperor Sun!"
The king of Ceylon, whose name is Racine, knows how to speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Businessmen from the Ming Dynasty often come here. They can speak some Ming Dynasty Mandarin to facilitate transactions. They also know from the merchants how powerful the Ming Dynasty is. I only heard about it before, but now I see two warships appearing, I completely believe that the Ming Dynasty is really Very strong.
"This is the King of Ceylon."
Wu Yongfeng introduced.
The leader of a country is also so polite to him?
Zhu Xuan felt a little satisfied and said: "The king is welcome. We came to Ceylon to trade with you. You can barter or buy with money. We have porcelain, tea, silk and cloth... …”
He briefly listed the cargo on the ship.
At this time, no merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty have come to Ceylon. This is the first time for Zhu Xuan and others this year.
Hearing that the goods brought by Zhu Xuan were of great quantity and variety, Racine's eyes lit up and he said: "Excuse me, His Highness the Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty, can you wait in Colombo for a few days? I will inform our domestic businessmen to prepare enough I’ll exchange something of value with you.”
"No problem at all."
"Come here and arrange a place for the Ming Emperor's grandson to rest."
"No!"
For the sake of safety, Zhu Xuan refused their kindness and said: "We can live on the boat without bothering you, but can you arrange a guide to take us around Colombo and appreciate the customs of Ceylon?"
Racine smiled and said: "Of course!"
When you come to this foreign country, of course you have to check in here just like traveling.
The person arranged by Racine arrived soon.
Zhu Xuan only took the Jin Yiwei with him, and all the remaining soldiers stayed on the ship before heading into the city.
The guide's Ming Dynasty Mandarin was more standard and there was no barrier to communication.
The customs in Ceylon are completely different from those in Srivijaya.
There are many Ming Dynasty people in Srivijaya, and their feelings there are similar to those in the Ming Dynasty.
This place is full of exotic customs.
The local people believe in Buddhism. You can see things related to Buddha and clothing everywhere, which all have a feeling of Buddhist believers. In addition, the facial features of Ceylonese people are also different from those of the people of Ming Dynasty.
They seemed to be in another world.
