Chapter 603: 1 small
The sapphires in the small bags are polished, with high texture and many styles. In addition to the blue ones, there are also pink sapphires that are as gorgeous as roses and unique orange sapphires from Sri Lanka!
To be honest, the sapphires sold by Gem Song are not as beautiful as their sapphires, they should be more valuable!
"Do you need gems? My boss still has them!" An aboriginal Chinese is quite blunt and authentic.
Other officers were eager to try, but official Hong Xi said calmly: "We are out of money and can't afford it!"
The man said unwillingly: "You can go and see, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it. If you like it, we can trade."
"No, no, thank you!" However, official Hong Xi declined.
The man was very disappointed, but seeing the strength of the officers and their weapons, he dared not say anything, so he stepped aside and looked at them.
Hong Xi official smiled slightly: "If your boss wants to trade, you can come to our warship!"
"Okay, I will tell the boss!" the natives said.
On the way Hong Xiguan was going back, Hong Xiguan said: "The other party has followed us. They should have been with us for a long time. They don't want to sell us things, they want to talk to us or do things!"
In order to prevent trouble, he returned to the ship and ordered: "The officers and soldiers of each ship should go ashore for sightseeing, shopping and visit in batches. They should be dispatched collectively, come back collectively, keep up with the team, and don't fall behind!"
"Those who do not listen to military orders, engage in military law!"
Hong Xi said, the officers and soldiers who left the ship handled it like this.
The Southeast Army attaches great importance to "seeing the world" and foreign exchanges. It often drives warships to various countries and regions, not necessarily for war, and is willing to spend money to send funds to officers and soldiers so that they can go ashore to spend money.
But all activities are arranged in an orderly manner and will not lose control. It mainly depends on the degree of friendship with the other party, and establishes a set of good, middle and bad judgment standards.
For example, the Southeastern government and the Wa country are so good to wear a pair of pants, and the relationship is good. Then the Southeast Army from the Southeast Fleet visiting the Wa country can stay until midnight and return to the team before midnight. They can move around freely.
All foreign ports, no matter how good the relationship is, do not return to the team after midnight, and they will be engaged in military law.
The military law of Southeast Mansion is by no means a joke.
Like Colombo, the relationship is rated as "medium", and the warship must be returned before nine o'clock in the evening at most, and group activities must be carried out.
As for the "bad", it is the kind of poor relationship between the two sides, or the more dangerous area, at most, it is a circle around, it is certain that collective activities, officers and soldiers are not even allowed to go ashore.
The garrison base in Johor by the Southeastern Prefecture is equivalent to the base in the country and can be overnight.
Now the southeast warships go ashore in batches, take collective actions, eat, visit, and shop. The officers and noncommissioned officers who lead the team have to worry about it. Fortunately, none of the officers and soldiers want to violate the military law. It was too much to be unable to go ashore three times!
The Southeast Army has generous rewards, but the punishment is also severe. Under orders, everyone should be careful. After all, now following the "Founding King", everyone wants to go a little bit further and doesn't want to make mistakes.
The officers and soldiers went ashore one after another, and then returned to the ship, all without problems.
It's strange that there is something wrong. The officers and non-commissioned officers put up a twelve-point spirit to supervise, and after repeated points, the officers and soldiers restrain their behavior and obey orders.
However, four more people came back!
The happiest being able to go ashore is reporter Yao Wenqi and naturalist Tao Yuanzao. Yao Wenqi can go ashore to collect wind, write travel notes, and make a small amount of money by publishing articles, while Tao Yuanzao can collect animal and plant specimens, which is very useful, unlike on a warship. Sleep, sleep and eat.
They acted together, and two soldiers followed to protect them.
Watching street scenes, shopping, eating local food, and chatting with locals.
They went to Gem Street and found the legendary "Gem Song". He was very busy, and the soldiers who bought the goods squeezed his newly rented store into a squeeze!
The so-called gold valuable gemstones are priceless. The gem world is very deep, and merchants are also very dark-hearted. Ordinary people don't know to what extent they have been slaughtered.
Jewel Song treats customers honestly, sells good goods at a good price, sells poorly at a price difference, and gets the profit he deserves, not to deceive, and the business is quite good.
His face was red. After making the initial business of Hong Xiguan, he immediately borrowed money from his fellow villagers, bought a large amount of goods, and he passed, and he would not be deceived. He rented a new storefront, and all the goods were clearly marked with prices.
As a result, the soldiers swept away all the goods in the shop!
He keeps restocking, almost too late to replenish.
Tao Yuanzao and Yao Wenqi also went to join in the fun and bought gems worth hundreds of silver dollars!
Soon after they left Gem Street, they caught sight of them and found that someone was following them all the time, following them at the same pace.
Reporters and naturalists are not people who are afraid of things, so they didn't leave at all. They stopped and waited for them to come over and ask, "What's the matter?"
Two aboriginal descendants stepped forward and showed a small bag and asked: "Do you want gems?"
If Hong Xi officials were present, they would recognize the two who had previously sold sapphires. This time, the two people got their wish. Tao Yuanzao and Yao Wenqi dared to take risks, followed them to see the so-called "beautiful sapphires", and pulled out the following The story comes.
Tao Yuanzao and Yao Wenqi returned to the warship and brought four people back with a large number of dried vegetables and dried fruits. Two of the delivery partners were Chinese and two were indigenous. When Tao Yuanzao and Yao Wenqi invited the two indigenous people to see official Hong Xi, It surprised him, no, they don't look like ordinary folks!
The two of them are not tall, but they are calm, and they greet the first one: "Hello, respected general, my name is Proka, I am the king of Kandy, the envoy of His Majesty Raja Singh II!" Said, He showed dry goods, but it was a paperwork.
There is an interpreter on the warship, who translated his words, and read the document, explaining: "The document says that he is the King of Kandy, the envoy of His Majesty Raja Singh II!"
Kandy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is located in the central region of Sri Lanka. It is a country that believes in Buddhism. The current king is Raja Singa II.
"Hmm!" Hong Xiguan nodded and asked, "What's the matter with them?"
Proka didn't rush to say what he wanted, and gave a gift first: almost two catties of sapphires!
A bag was spread out, and the source stone and polished gemstones were brilliant, which made the officers in the cabin breathe more quickly.
"This is a gift to our country!" said the translator.
"Thank you for your present!" The translator said to Proka: "The general asks if you have any needs?"
Everyone talked, and soon the Southeastern officers understood that he was here to hold his thigh and beg for it!
The Portuguese entered Sri Lanka and offended the Sri Lankans because of one action: They attacked Buddhism and spread Catholicism!
Later, the Dutch arrived in Sri Lanka in 1602 AD. They saw Sri Lanka as an important maritime hub and were helped by the Sri Lankans and asked them to expel the Portuguese.
The Dutch agreed and landed in Trincomalee, southeast of Sri Lanka, in 1638 to fight the Portuguese.
However, the Sri Lankans found that the sambal fandoms are all in the same category. After receiving the benefits, they did not pay attention to the requests of the Sri Lankans. They also built churches and spread religion.
The Dutch disappointed the Sri Lankans. As for why the Sri Lankans should ask for assistance from the Southeast Army?
Because they saw such a big Chinese general, when they met a monk, he gave way to the monk Heshi!
In the city of Colombo, even an ordinary red hair fan has never done so!
