Chapter 53 Burma Part 1

The things plundered in Mindanao were not taken on the ship, but placed on Fengshen Island. With the people on the island, the Fengshen headed for the Indian mainland.

Seagulls were flying in the sky, and flying fish were jumping into waves on the sea surface. The Fengshen set its full sails, and the swollen sails carried the Fengshen across the Strait of Malacca to the vast Indian Ocean.

The Strait of Malacca is a long and narrow area, and it used to be an area where pirates were rampant. Everyone on the ship was extremely careful, but in the end, they passed through it safely.

The forest swamps on both sides of the strait gradually disappeared from sight. Ling Qingyu turned his head and looked ahead. There was another subcontinent that neither Ding Dong nor the others had been to, India. Beyond that is Africa.

You can see the port in the distance, bustling crowds, stretches of flat-roofed houses, and people wearing strange clothes constantly passing by.

This is Burma in later generations, now called Daguang, a port city built by the Kingdom of Bagan at the mouth of the Yangon River.

The Fengshen's draft was too deep and it did not enter the inner harbor. It parked some distance away from the port.

The huge hull appeared on the sea level, and there was a noise in the port, and many small boats rushed to the side of the ship.

"Let's go ashore on November 1 and have a look. The jade produced here is top-notch in the world. Let's go find some good stuff." Ling Qingyu stood on the bow of the boat and smiled at Ye Eleven next to him.

Half of her burnt hair was cut off, leaving only shoulder length, and only half of her bangs were left, so she simply tied it into a high ponytail behind her head. She was wearing a dress made by Zhou Tan according to her request. Short sleeves, the hem of the skirt only reaches the knees, a white ribbon is tied around the waist, and the chest is raised high. On the feet are sandals made of double leather ropes, and the leather ropes are wrapped around the calves. The whole person looks refreshing And sexy.

"Master, can we go too?" Ye Fei asked enviously from the side. After coming back from Ula Wula, Ye Fei liked to follow Ling Qingyu whenever she had free time. The head of the house would tell a lot of interesting things. Every time he passed by a place, he would tell some local legends.

"Well," Ling Qingyu nodded generously, and then said to the six disciples he was leading: "Take two of each of you, don't get lost."

Huang Lian, the eldest, smiled and responded: "Yes." The six of them originally thought they would be sold to those places, but who knew that they would be lucky enough to learn from the master to be a boat master, how to use a compass, star charts, watching the sun, and Ling Qingyu's teachings? They have nothing to hide. What I originally thought was a miserable life suddenly opened such a gorgeous door in front of my eyes. The world over there is so vast and intoxicating.

"Jade? Is it the kind of extra jade?" Zhou Tan stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, it's very beautiful. Mr. Zhou will know after you take a look." Ling Qingyu smiled with a toothy smile when he remembered that jade was not popular at this time. If it was not popular, it means it was very cheap at this time!

"Are they the merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty?!" A small boat rowed beside the Fengshen. The middle-aged man on the boat looked at the clothes of the people on the bow and asked uncertainly. These people look like Dazhou people, but their clothes are not like the clothes of the Dazhou people in the past. They are all short clothes and look refined and cool. But is this woman dressed like this, is it allowed for Dazhou men?

"Yes!" Ling Qingyu shouted back to the people below. There are actually people who can speak Chinese. It seems that this port must be very prosperous.

"That's great." Everyone on the boat looked happy. Due to the catastrophe, no ships have come from Dazhou for a year. Now the prices of silk, porcelain and other Dazhou items here have soared. .

"We are from Yangon Trading Company, who is in charge on your ship?" the middle-aged man shouted.

Someone came to contact you so quickly? Before Ling Qingyu had time to answer, several more boats arrived, and the people on board rushed to introduce themselves.

Originally, he wanted to go to the port to visit the market and then discuss the business, but it probably didn't work out. After touching his nose, Ling Qingyu said to Yan San: "Let's go up and talk first."

Before the Fengshen boat was put down, Yan San had already put his arms around Ling Qingyu's waist, jumped off the boat on his toes, and landed firmly on the first boat.

"Bah, bang, bang!" People on the surrounding boats applauded enthusiastically.

People who are good at Qinggong are so annoying! Yang Zhao looked at Yan San with contempt and took the lead on the Fengshen's boat.

The boat took the lead and headed towards the port pier. On the boat, the middle-aged man was respectful to Yan San at first and kept introducing how their business was reputable. It was the largest business in Daguang and a professional supplier to the Bagan royal family. They Bagan's finest goods are also available.

"Do you have jade? Is it jade?" Ling Qingyu interjected with a smile and asked.

"Yes, yes, there are also fine teak wood and spices." The middle-aged man said with a smile. Women all like gems and jade, but businessmen from the Great Zhou Dynasty rarely ask about jade. Then he turned around and prepared to lobby Yan San.

"She is our boss, our boss." Yan San smiled and said, "Whatever you want to sell or buy, go to her."

"Huh?" The middle-aged man was so surprised that he could stuff a duck egg into his mouth.

"Look! The pagoda!" The boat had sailed into the port, and the noisy port scenery slowly unfolded in front of him. Ling Qingyu stood up unconsciously.

"Tell me the address and I'll find you in an hour." Ling Qingyu smiled at the middle-aged man. Seeing the middle-aged man pointing at a large and beautiful white building at the port, he clasped his hands together and made a standard Burmese sign. Meet and greet, then hop onto the pier.

After the Fengshen boat arrived, Ling Qingyu distributed some copper coins (produced on Fengshen Island) to everyone, and then explained some precautions to everyone, such as not touching people's heads, not wearing shoes into Buddhist temples, and seeing cows on the streets. Get out of the way, women on the left, men on the right, and so on.

Ling Qingyu later simply picked up a wooden stick on the ground, took Ding Dong's red scarf and tied it to the wooden stick, and then said loudly: "Everyone, please take a look at our regiment's flag. Don't get lost. If there is anything you want to see, please raise it." Hands down, we can move around freely, if we get separated, please remember to meet here in an hour."

So the Fengshen sightseeing group walked in great numbers on the streets of Daguang.

Ye Po was put on the autopsy table that night, and some of his hair was shaved off for convenience. Later, he simply shaved his head. Several other children saw his cool look and imitated him, so among this group of people, There are several more bald dolls. Walking on the street, people would clasp their hands to them from time to time.

After walking a street, Daguang copper coins were not only useful, but also very valuable. Ling Qingyu saw that although the port streets were complicated, they were very regular and he probably wouldn't get lost, so he let everyone move freely.

And she herself was squatting in front of a store filled with stones.

Betting on stones! Ling Qingyu only felt her blood boiling. She thought back to the time when she stayed in Tengchong for three months to learn how to bet on stones. She lost all her money and even lost her bus fare. In the end, she still didn't ask for any explanation and basically failed to win!

"How much does a stone cost?" Ling Qingyu raised his head and asked the store owner, the light in his eyes dazzling.

"Wow, wow," the store owner also squatted down and pointed at the stone.

"I only have copper coins," Ling Qingyu took out a handful of coins and said with a smile, "How many stones will you give me?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up at first, then he thought for a moment and brought over a dozen pieces of various sizes.

"NONO!" Ling Qingyu shook his finger and took out a dozen stones by himself.

The store owner nodded in agreement with a smile, and then asked: "Wow, wow, wow"

"Cut! Of course you have to cut!" Ling Qingyu was gearing up. The most exciting time for stone gambling is when cutting stones!

"Damn!" When the tenth piece was cut out and there was nothing, Ling Qingyu started to jump and said to the shopkeeper: "Did you mean it? Just use the stone to lie to me!"

Yang Zhao and Yan San lazily leaned aside and watched her look excited when she took a stone. After cutting it open, their faces were full of annoyance. After repeating the changes in their faces ten times, they finally started to jump. They all laughed unconsciously, then walked to the pile of stones and each picked a piece.

The shopkeeper was grabbed by his collar by Ling Qingyu, but he still said to the two of them: "One copper coin!"

"So you can speak Chinese! Then what are you calling me!" Ling Qingyu became even more angry and said, "Tell me! Did you do it on purpose?"

"Wow!" The shopkeeper turned his head and took the coins thrown by Yang Zhao and Yan San, and then motioned to the waiter to help them cut them.

"You are called a profiteer! Fraud!" Ling Qingyu still said angrily.

"It's out! It's out!" The man who cut the stone shouted. Ling Qingyu turned around and saw, well, inside the slowly cut stone, there was a piece of green, shining like glass.

"Old fool!" Ling Qingyu threw away the store and threw himself in front of the waiter, saying: "Stop cutting, rub, rub the stone!" Seeing the waiter's confusion, he hurriedly said in Burmese, "Don't cut it in those three months." I have not learned Burmese, but I remember these technical terms well.

Both Yan San's and Yang Zhao's were planted in Laokeng, but Yang Zhao's was still planted with blessings, wealth and longevity.

"Wow, wow, lala," the store owner shouted back at Ling Qingyu, indicating that he was not a profiteer.

"Come again!" Ling Qingyu threw another handful of copper coins to the shopkeeper. I didn't believe it!

Seeing the anger on her face, Yan San and Yang Zhao also picked a few pieces.

So, Ling Qingyu carefully selected all the stones from the pile of stones, while Yan San and Yang Zhao casually took out different types of jadeite. There are also several pieces of Laokeng glass and a piece of top-quality ink jade, but they are not large in size and are very small.

Ling Qingyu doesn't believe in evil and will fight again. At this time, Ye Shiyi came back from wandering with a few children. Seeing her sweating profusely and her face flushed, he also exchanged the few remaining copper coins for stones.

The result is tragic!

Ling Qingyu finally got a Youqing, and Ye Shiyi and the others all got out, and Ye Eleven also got a top-quality all-green dragon seed.
