Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

The Fengshen sailed forward for another two days, and the shadow of a port city gradually appeared along the coastline. Looking at the astrolabe in his hand, Ling Qingyu motioned for the ship to stop first. This was near Galle in later generations. He didn't expect it to be so early. It has already been built into a port.

This time, Ling Qingyu still brought a few people ashore first, which was already close to the Indian influence area. This era was a relatively chaotic one, so it was better to find out the situation first.

The dock is not as well built as it is, but it is more lively. There are also many small Arab sailboats docked in the port.

Not far from the dock, there is a large market with various goods piled on it. The crowded people are communicating in various languages, and it is very lively.

Looking at the various people in the market wearing various shapes, some black and some white, even Yan San felt a little dazzled.

People from the Zhou Dynasty? When Ling Qingyu and the others were browsing a stall, a young man in gorgeous clothes passed by him, but suddenly turned around and asked in standard Chinese.

Yes, you are? Seeing the young man's gorgeous clothes and handsome appearance, Ling Qingyu replied with a smile.

My father is also from Da Zhou, and I am a merchant from Zhuluo. My name is Katak, and Da Zhou's name is Xie Lian. Xie Lian gave a gift and smiled.

My name is Ling Qingyu, and I come from Dazhou. Ling Qingyu returned the greeting, knowing that this was probably planted by the Xie family in the extra drama.

Miss Ling, are you here for a trip? Xie Lian accompanied Ling Qingyu to the side and asked casually.

No, I'm a businessman. The ship just arrived in Galle. Ling Qingyu looked around and said, I came to see the market conditions.

The ship coming from Dazhou? When a person who was rushing by heard this, he braked suddenly, stepped back, and asked: Do you have any goods for sale? I, Ai Xi, am willing to serve the beautiful girl. ~!

The man had a pair of black and deep eyes, a high bridge of nose, and thin red lips hidden in a short beard.

Elsie.

Hey, isn't this Master Katak? Are you coming to Galle too? After greeting Xie Lian, Ai Xi immediately turned back to Ling Qingyu and smiled: Beautiful girl, I Ai Xi is more reliable than this one , it’s definitely right to sell something to me!”

Miss Ling, my home is in Calicut. If the girl comes to Calicut, please come to me. If you go to the dock and ask someone about the Cutak family, someone will take you there. Xie Lian said to Ling Qingyu gently. He gave a salute and then left slowly.

Pretentious bastard. Ai Xi cursed in Indian, turned around and said to Ling Qingyu with a smile: Beautiful girl, let's take a look at the goods?

Don't worry, I want to visit the market first. Ling Qingyu said with a smile, are you kidding me, can you buy and sell by force?

Aisi, I happen to be free. How about I be the girl's guide? Aisi stood next to her and introduced automatically: Look, this is a special spice in Ceylan, but it is not as good as our Zhuluo. Well, if you want spices, why not come with me to Chola, the price is cheaper.”

You call this pepper, wow, the price here is so expensive, our Cholas are much cheaper than this!

These herbs haven't been dried yet, so that's bad.

This gem is so small. Girl, if you want a good gem, I can take you to a reliable one!

Along the way, this man made a lot of noise. He despised almost everything. The only thing he praised was the beautiful woman he met.

Kill him? Yan San couldn't help but whisper in Ling Qingyu's ear.

No need. Ling Qingyu shook his head. It was rare to meet someone who spoke Chinese so well. He had to get something out of him to be worthy of his ears.

Behind the market is a main street. The clean and tidy street is lined with various shops, and all kinds of people can be seen among the constant flow of people.

Ling Qingyu looked at a shop with a very luxurious and grand appearance and walked in.

Girl, you really have good taste. This is my friend's shop. This Ceylon has the best gems here. Ai Xi said loudly, and walked into the shop before her, and then shouted Said: Adi, Adi, come out quickly, a guest has arrived.

Ai Xi! What are you doing again! A man in his thirties walked out of the store. After seeing Ling Qingyu and his party, he looked up and down and asked, A businessman from Dazhou?

Yes. Ling Qingyu smiled and saluted. The shop was large, clean and tidy, and the counters on both sides were beautifully made. It looked like a large business.

Oh, it's been a long time since Dazhou's ship came. Please come in. Adi took Ling Qingyu and the others into the yard at the back. The yard was rectangular, with creek-like water on both sides, full of flowers, and a white square in the middle. The pavilion was covered with carpets and cushions. Adi brought Ling Qingyu and the others to the pavilion, and then made an invitation.

Ling Qingyu returned the favor with a smile, then took off his shoes, went up to the pavilion, and sat in the lower left guest seat. Yan San, Yang Zhao, Yan Qi, and several other sailors stood around the pavilion.

Adi raised his eyelids slightly, this woman's men were quite good.

I wonder what goods the girl brought this time? Adi sat down at the master's seat. Ai Xi had already enthusiastically poured water for Ling Qingyu with a teapot, and then sat between the two of them.

What do you want, shopkeeper? Ling Qingyu smiled at Ai Xi, and then said to Adi with a smile.

Ling Luo silk and satin, as well as fine porcelain, if the girl has it, I am willing to pay a high price to buy it. Adi leaned on the cushion and said. There will be a grand ceremony in Kandy soon, and there will be five hundred beauties in the king's harem. The consumption of these high-end silk fabrics is too great. Now, not only in Kandy City, but also in the palace, the demand for silk fabrics has reached the point where it is difficult to find even one foot. However, no merchant ships from Zhou Dynasty have come here for a year. Not to mention Ceylon, there is a shortage even in Cholo Bagan. For this reason, he is getting angry.

How much is it? It seems that something is going on here in Ceylon. How can we get rich if the country is in dire straits?

Fifty thousand pieces of porcelain, two thousand pieces each of silk and silk, and a thousand pieces of satin. Adi rubbed his brows, thinking about this businessman whom he had never met before, and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bring much goods, and then said: It's really not possible. , a thousand is fine.”

Luo is Huaping Luo. There aren't that many. I can sell you five hundred horses at most. There are others. How much do you want to pay? Ling Qingyu took a sip of water and asked.

Huapingluo? Adi immediately sat up straight and said, What about Huapingluo from Dongyang, Wuzhou?

Yes. Ling Qingyu smiled and nodded.

Adi took a deep breath, then breathed out gently and said, Girl, make a price.

I'm new here, and I don't know the market very well. Why don't the shopkeeper give me a price, and I'll calculate whether it's cost-effective or not. Ling Qingyu still had a smile on his face.

Adi, she has been wandering around the market just now. After entering the pavilion, Ai Xi had been lazily leaning on the cushion and making no sound. At this time, she said something in Hindi.

Adi clapped his hands, and two people suddenly appeared from that corner, bowing and standing outside the pavilion.

Go and get the top box, and then bring the bottom box over. After Adi gave instructions in the local dialect, the two people left quietly. After a while, one person was holding a beautiful box, and behind them Four people carried a wooden box to the pavilion and placed the things on the low table in the middle of the pavilion.

Adi opened the box, and the jewels almost blinded Ling Qingyu.

Inside are dozens of gems the size of pigeon eggs, which are polished extremely finely and reflect the sunlight into colorful gems.

Ling Qingyu has seen a lot of gems, but they are basically rough gems. These gems are processed gems. They are crystal clear and full of treasure. Ling Qingyu's heart tightens when he sees it, but he still pretends to be indifferent. Really It's internal injuries caused by holding back.

Adi opened the wooden box again. Well, it was full of gold. Ling Qingyu could now understand why the four people had to work hard to lift this. There was probably about a ton of gold in it.

Here are thirty thousand taels of gold and fifty first-grade gemstones. Girl, do you think the price is right? Adi touched his beard. No matter how well she concealed it, the light in her eyes at that moment could not escape his eyes. The price he gave this time was twice as high as the previous price, but Adi did not regret it. If he could grab this only batch of goods and send it to Bagan before the celebration, the profit would definitely be more than this.

Thirty thousand taels of gold is equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver. Those fifty gems can be sold for at least 5,000 taels each, which is 250,000 taels of silver. Even if it costs him a high-level Ling, it will only cost less than 40,000. Ten A profit of more than 10 times, although not as much as the old man's, is still pretty good.

Ling Qingyu was still making calculations in his mind, but in Adi's eyes, the old god refused to answer. Thinking that the Lion family nearby was asking for goods at high prices, his heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: I still have ten thousand in the warehouse. A pound of pepper, I’ll give it to you together.”

Ten thousand kilograms of pepper, whether in Zhou Dynasty or in Europe, can be sold for one tael of pepper and one tael of silver. Ling Qingyu smiled and said: The shopkeeper is so polite, so I will be disrespectful. My ship Stopping in the open sea, this can notify them to dock for loading.”

The Fengshen was too big to get close to the inner port. Fortunately, there was an outer port in Galle that could barely dock. When the huge hull of the Fengshen docked at the outer port, the whole port was boiling again, and people crowded to the pier to watch. That ship from the Great Zhou Dynasty, a huge house-like ship.

After seeing the ship, Adi gasped, grabbed Ling Qingyu's hand and said: Master Ling! Please stop selling goods to others, I, I, I will give you another 10,000 kilograms of spices!

Haha, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word. Ling Qingyu said with a smile, and then left Yang Zhao, Dingdong, Su Hexiang and others to cooperate with Adi in loading and unloading, as well as replenishing water and food, while he returned to the ship first.

After returning from Haizhou, Cai Jingfang found someone to rearrange the captain's cabin of the Fengshen and Ling Qingyu's bedroom inside. Huang Jing also reworked it on Fengshen Island. Now the whole room is clean and comfortable. The bed was a fixed large bed, with thick cushions and soft cushions all around. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, Ling Qingyu would always hit the soft cushions no matter how hard he rolled.

There is a window next to the bed. Climbing on it, you can see the deck of the Fengshen and the seagulls flying in the harbor in the distance.

The box of gold was fixed at the foot of the bed, and there were several fixed boxes stacked there.

Ling Qingyu leaned lazily on the soft pillow and poured the large gems he had obtained these days onto the white satin on the bed. The fifty finely carved gems sparkled, while the more than twenty semi-raw gems looked a little gray.

Yan San came in with a bowl of ginger syrup and saw that although she looked lazy, her eyes were shining brightly as she fiddled with the gems. She smiled unconsciously and said, Drink it while it's hot and then enjoy it later.

Ah, is there any ginger here? Ling Qingyu took the bowl, drank it in one gulp, and asked.

Well, Yang Zhao saw it on the pier and bought a lot. Yan San handed her a quick handkerchief.

Well, it's better to buy more of this. Ling Qingyu wiped his mouth, nodded, and then leaned back. Since the day before yesterday, her body has been a little tired and weak. Last night, her menstrual period came. Ling Qingyu thought that after she crossed over, her menstrual period was normal at first, but after arriving at the treasure island, it started to be abnormal. This time It took three months for her to come, and after she came, her stomach hurt and she had no strength at all. But when it came to going ashore to negotiate business, neither Cai Jingfang nor Zheng Xi was there, so he had to go on his own. Fortunately, Yang Zhao was there, and he could arrange things like inventorying goods and transactions, so he didn't have to worry about it himself. It seems that we need to speed up the training of those young people. A woman's body is not in very good shape if she travels to the sea all the time.

What are you thinking about? Yan San sat on the edge of the bed and put his palm on her abdomen.

A wave of heat rose up from there and then spread. Ling Qingyu hummed comfortably and said, I want to bring Huang Lian and the others out quickly.

Yan San chuckled softly and rubbed her belly with his palms while slowly transferring his inner energy. Seeing that she closed her eyes and fell asleep in comfort, he put her down on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and then returned to her. Gather the gems and place them next to her pillow.

His fingers brushed through her broken hair and he glanced at the scar on his sleeve. Yan San retracted his hand and pressed it on his arm. There was a fresh wound there. His cabin was in this cabin. Next door, his hearing was not very good. No matter how hard those two guys lowered their voices, he could clearly feel all the movements there. He could only rely on the physical pain to suppress the pain in his body. *.

Yan San closed his eyes, looking at Ling Qingyu's peaceful and smiling face, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. She herself doesn't know what kind of physical condition she is in. The power of the snake pill will gradually increase over time. The advantage is that her physical fitness will get better and better. She will be immune to all poisons, gain physical strength, reflexes, endurance, etc. If she is willing to practice martial arts, she will get twice the result with half the effort. The disadvantage is that her **** will become stronger and stronger, which is usually fine, but on July 14th, she must absorb enough yang. Fine, and as time goes by, I'm afraid this interval will become shorter and shorter. It was once a year at first, and maybe once every three months in the future.

The golden sunset shined on Yan San's eyes through the window, and Yan San suddenly came back to his senses. He turned around and his hand was already in the state of drawing the sword. With a sway of his body, he rushed towards the person at the door.

It's me. Yan Qi took two steps back. The two of them had already exchanged several moves before he finished speaking.

What are you thinking? I've been standing here for a long time. Seeing Yan San put away his sword with a dark face, Yan Qi leaned against the door and said with a smile.

It's okay. Yan San closed the cabin door with his backhand and sat on the chair in the captain's cabin.

It's okay, why would you be so distracted? Yan Qi was amused in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She sat on the chair next to him and said, Why don't you go down and buy some goods? Those boys all went down and bought gems, saying they would be used for marrying a wife in the future. Ling Qingyu said. Pocket money is given to everyone. Although it is not much, you can also buy some mid- to low-end gems here. For those sailors, it is already a lot of wealth. Therefore, under Yang Zhao's arrangement, all those who had nothing to do went ashore to hunt for goods. Yan Qi also went for a walk. When he came back, he remembered that Yan San seemed to have never left Ling Qingyu. Naturally, he had no time to go ashore. He originally wanted to replace him out of kindness, but what he saw was so shocking. scene.

I don't need it. Yan San said coldly.

Do you not need gems or a wife? Yan Qi approached him and asked, Do you like being the head of the family?

Seeing that Yan San gave him a cold look and said nothing, Yan Qi sneered and said, What's so embarrassing about this? That person on this ship doesn't like her.

What about you? Yan San crossed his arms, stared at him and asked, Do you like it?

Me? Yan Qi laughed self-deprecatingly: I don't deserve it.

The two of them were silent at the same time. After a while, Yan Qi said solemnly: Yang Zhao is not bad.

yes.

You actually admit it?

You said he was good.

you do not
