Chapter 499 Gao Yang stunned(1/2)
The sea in the Southern Ocean is very windy and rough.
A clipper boat moved forward like a thorn.
"Fang Er, is it winter already? Why is it that Nanyang is hotter than the summer in Chang'an City?"
Standing at the door of the cabin, Gao Yang felt that the weather in Nanyang was not suitable for people.
If Fang Yiai hadn't said that she was going to Puluozhong soon, she would have wanted to turn around and go back.
"Gaoyang, the weather in Nanyang is like this, especially around Puluozhong. The weather is hot all year round. If you come here in summer, it will be even hotter. It is precisely because of this special weather that there are many fruits
They are only produced in Nanyang, and you would never even think about being able to eat them in the Tang Dynasty."
A fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.
Fang Yiai is now very familiar with how to divert Princess Gaoyang's attention.
"Is there that fruit in Puluo that you mentioned, which is covered in thorns and gives off a strange smell, but tastes very delicious?"
Along the way, Gao Yang had been tempted by Fang Yiai countless times.
"Of course there is. Although this kind of fruit is the most delicious in summer, you can also have the opportunity to eat it in winter. Don't worry, Yuchi Huan has been in Puluo for a long time, and he can definitely help us get this.
Fruit growers.”
Fang Yiai didn't care whether what he said could be realized by then, anyway, he had to coax Gao Yang well first.
"After visiting a ghost place like Nanyang once, I never want to come again."
Gao Yang felt that he had been deceived by Fang Yiai, but there was nothing he could do.
…
In the southeastern waters of Puluozhong, a clipper ship was sailing forward quickly.
Li Geng stood on the mast, looking at Puluozhong appearing in the telescope, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip south to explore Australia was really exciting.
If my exploration team hadn't discovered a herd of wild horses in the canyon, and I was very good at taming horses, the "Gewu Academy" might have returned early. Mobile version::
By then, Aye Aniang in Chang'an City might have thought that she was missing, right?
"Lang Jun, do we have to stay in Puluo this time? Or should we replenish fresh water and food and return immediately?"
Yang Qiwa was so excited when she thought of the pieces of gold in the cabin.
You know, everyone had to go back and forth to the canyon several times before bringing the gold nuggets they found back to Yongping Port.
This gold must be at least several thousand kilograms, right?
Although compared with what he gained from his first trip to Japan, these several thousand kilograms of gold would not make Yang Qiwa unable to sleep well.
But when he thought that there were countless thousands of kilograms of gold in the canyon waiting for everyone to exploit, his mood was different.
"Let's take a look at the situation. Puluozhong is a city controlled by our Tang Dynasty. If we cultivate there, there is no problem with safety. If we don't stay for a few days to cultivate, then we have to consider returning directly to Chang'an City.
We stopped at Champa. Instead of doing this, it is better to have a good rest in Puluo, and then go directly to Yazhou, and then go to Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places for supplies." : :
Li Geng did not want to dock in the cities of Champa or Linyi, because it would be difficult to avoid the news that gold mines were discovered in Australia or that the ship was filled with gold.
No matter which country it is, the value of this ship of gold is very extraordinary.
It is definitely worth buying "Gewu Academy".
…
Puluo Zhongcheng has become more and more majestic now.
After all, Donghai Fishery has now gathered a large amount of manpower and material resources to build this city.
Maritime merchants from all over the Tang Dynasty took Puluozhong as the terminal point for their voyages to Southeast Asia.
Therefore, all kinds of shops and inns in the city look very prosperous.
"Brother Xiao, this Pu Luozhong is really different every time I come here."
Cui Jian and Xiao Huashan just transported a batch of supplies to Puluozhong a few days ago, preparing to purchase spices and sell them back to Jiangnan.
In Puluo Zhong City, there are still many Tang maritime merchants like Cui Jian and others.
Of course, there were more maritime merchants from Dashi, Tianzhu and Persia.
These people basically have a monopoly on maritime trade from Puluo Central to the west, and the East China Sea fisheries have not yet been able to get involved.
"Puluozhong has an excellent geographical location and all facilities in the city are very complete. Of course everyone is happy to come here to rest. I heard that even some pirates are willing to come here secretly to sell their stolen goods."
As the captain of the Xiao family fleet, Xiao Huashan knows a lot about many things at sea.
"Yes. This Yuchihuan is really not taboo about meat and vegetables. As long as it can make Puluozhong more prosperous, he doesn't care about anything. Didn't you see the rules carved at the city gate? Basically, it means that this Puluozhong is more prosperous.
Luozhong is a free city, as long as you don't cause trouble in the city, no one cares where you come from or what you are doing here."
As a descendant of the Cui family, Cui Jian originally thought that the wealthy family had no bottom line in doing things, but now he found that compared with Yuchi Huan, he was completely dwarfed.
Xiao Huashan looked around and said: "Actually, this is good. Puluo Zhong is originally a commercial city. There are fewer rules and restrictions. Everyone feels more at ease when they come here. At least they don't have to worry about safety problems and they can earn money.
Money, I guess the next time we come here, it will become even more prosperous."
"Well, this time when we return to the Tang Dynasty, I suggest that the family increase their efforts in going to Southeast Asia, buy some land in Puluo, and build a safe trade branch."
Cui Jian is relatively optimistic about Pu Luozhong's future.
In his opinion, the city was very suitable for the interests of the aristocratic family.
Xiao Huashan: "This is a good suggestion. I will mention it to my family when I go back."
…
"Bang!"
With the huge anchor thrown from the deck into the sea, Fang Yiai and Gao Yang finally arrived in Puluozhong.
"The further south you go, the more backward the construction of various ports becomes. Unexpectedly, when you get to Puluo Zhong, it looks like Guangzhou."
Gao Yang looked at the white sails all around, and there were many ships docked.
There are many Kunlun slaves on the dock busy loading and unloading goods. The city wall not far away is so majestic that no one can tell that this is a city in a corner of Nanyang.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu strongly supports the construction of Puluo Zhongcheng. Donghai Fishery has several ships coming here almost every month. Even cement workshops have been built. Naturally, this city cannot be compared with Champa and Linyi.
."
Fang Yiai still remembers that when she first came to Puluozhong, it was a desolate place.
Although it has a natural harbor, not a single ship docks here all year round.
Unlike now, it is simply a replica of Wendeng Pier. The bustling scene definitely exceeds the imagination of countless nobles in Chang'an City.
"There are a lot of Kunlun slaves here. If the people in Chang'an City saw this, they would think that the people in Puluo are very rich."
Gao Yang knew that Kunlun slaves were considered expensive slaves in Chang'an City, even higher than Silla maids.
So Gao Yang was still surprised to see so many Kunlun slaves at the dock.
"Gaoyang, Puluozhong used to be the Western Ocean. It is much more convenient for those big food merchants to transport Kunlun slaves here than to Chang'an City. Therefore, the Kunlun slaves here are far less expensive than those in Chang'an City. Many things cannot be purchased from Chang'an City.
Measure it by standard. Just like spices, if you enter the city, you will find that the price of spices in Puluo is not even a fraction of the price in Chang'an City."
Just when Fang Yiai and Gao Yang disembarked, Yang Qiwa, who was left behind on the "Gewu Academy", also noticed the ship.
Although clipper boats are not uncommon now, those who own them are either Donghai Fisheries or people who are closely related to Donghai Fisheries.
So when Fang Yiai's fleet entered the port, Yang Qiwa noticed it.
When Fang Yiai and the others appeared on the deck, preparing to disembark, Yang Qiwa recognized them immediately.
When they first went to Japan, the relationship between Yang Qiwa and Fang Yiai was quite good.
Besides, there were only a few leaders in the fleet at that time, so it was impossible for anyone in the fleet not to know Fang Yiai.
"Fanglangjun, Fanglangjun!"
Just when Fang Yiai was struggling to ask how to find Yuchi Huan, he seemed to hear someone calling him.
Could it be that there is such a coincidence in this world that just when I wanted to find Yuchi Huan, he appeared?
wrong!
If it were Yuchi Huan, he wouldn't call himself so politely.
"Fang Langjun, it's me! Yang Qiwa!"
Just when Yang Qiwa was about to approach Fang Yiai, he was stopped by several guards.
This time Princess Gaoyang went to sea with Fang Yiai, so the guards around her were naturally not weak.
"Yang Qiwa? Is that you?"
Fang Yiai looked at the guy in front of her who was darker than herself in surprise, "Let him come over, this is one of our own."
When Yang Qiwa heard Fang Yiai's words "one of our own" when giving instructions to the guards, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
This husband is as unpretentious as ever.
