After many voyages, the potter had learned how to watch the weather, and now he had new ambitions.

"Have you ever used a sextant?" asked the potter suddenly.

"No, but I heard that it is an artifact invented by the Marquis of Dongyang, which can tell the direction in the sea. Even in the army, few people can master the knowledge in it." Liu Shangdao.

"After completing this voyage, I plan to ask the Marquis of Dongyang for this knowledge." Tao Shang said.

Now, it was Liu Shang's turn to be surprised, and asked, "Why?"

"A sailor who once joined the army said that if he wants to use the sextant, he must accept the knowledge that the earth is round." Tao Shang said.

"How is this possible? According to ancient books, the sky is round!" Liu Shang argued.

"I don't care what the ancient books say, look, if you start from here, go all the way to the end of the sea, walk and walk, and return to the starting point, wouldn't it be very interesting?" Pottery said.

"You are crazy, the sea is very dangerous." Liu Shang said.

"I know, but if you can accomplish this feat, you will have the capital to worship the prime minister." Tao Shang said.

"You're right, we'll talk about this later." Liu Shang said.

Liu Shang always admired adventure, otherwise he would not give up his stable career and choose to do business.

The day was calm and sunny.

The potter was lying on the deck, chatting with the sailors, and he heard about the sextant when he was bragging.The potter listened to it more than once, but the sailors spoke vaguely.

Sailors can't learn it, but potters think they are students of Taixue, and it's easy to master a little knowledge.

"Captain, there are several fishing boats ahead!" The watchman suddenly shouted.

Startled, the potter took out his binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by the watchman, and he saw several small boats.

"Don't pay attention." Tao Shang said.

After sailing for a while, the fishing boat also seemed to have discovered the existence of the big boat, and slowly approached.

"Captain, the fishing boat is approaching!" Wang Wang said.

Did they encounter any difficulties?

The pottery merchant was baffled. The Chishui Army is the absolute ruler of this sea area, so it stands to reason that they will not be in danger.

Therefore, the potter ordered to slow down the speed of the boat. When the fishing boat approached 300 meters, through the binoculars, the potter saw a group of bald people with strange clothes.

"What kind of birdman is this?" The pottery merchant was well-informed, but he thought he had never encountered such a situation.

"Could it be the legendary Japanese?" Liu Shang asked in surprise.

This sentence actually reminded the potters. It is recorded in the book:

The Japanese people are in the southeast sea of ​​Daifang, and Yishan Island is their country.There were more than a hundred countries in the past, and there were people who had court visits in the Han Dynasty, and now the translators can understand [-] countries.

The pottery merchant suddenly became interested. It stands to reason that it is impossible for them to meet other people on the waterway, but now they have met them.Moreover, those Japanese were so courageous that they came across thousands of miles in fishing boats.

Did they die?

Even the Yangzhou navy, which owns the Galen ship, did not run such a long distance.

Maybe, but that's top secret.

"What should I do, let them approach, or leave directly?" Liu Shang said.

Under normal circumstances, his ideas are very positive, but it is necessary to ask his partner.

The potter pondered for a while. If he established contact with the aborigines, he might be able to open up business channels.

Moreover, Dongyanghou must be very interested in the Japanese.

Thinking of this, Tao Shang said, "Let's meet first and see what they are going to do."

But Uncle Yang disagreed, saying: "You two, don't forget General Gan's instructions. Anything can happen at sea."

This Uncle Yang is 50 years old and a veteran who retired from the army with rich experience.Gan Ning handed over fifty retired soldiers to the potters, and Uncle Yang was the leader.

Hearing this, the potter already hesitated.

But Liu Shang said indifferently: "I think their number is only twenty or thirty, and we have more than 100 people. Are we still afraid of them?"

When Yang Bo heard this, he didn't refute, but just asked everyone to prepare their weapons.

For Uncle Yang's prudence, Liu Shang did not refuse, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, they have encountered many robbers.

But they are all bandits. As for the pirates, there are really none.

Boom---

There were loud noises below the boat, and the fishing boat crashed into Galen's boat.Then, hooks were thrown up one by one.

"The visitor is not kind, protect the two sons!" Uncle Yang shouted.

Liu Shang was also taken aback. Under normal circumstances, where would there be such a guest?

The Japanese were agile, and boarded the big boat at once. Seeing that there were so many people on board, they immediately put away their weapons and bowed down to salute.

Grumbling.

Have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
