At 7:00 p.m. on June 6, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao led his fleet to leave Fulu Port in Fulu Principality.
Fuzhi supplemented Qu Mao's fleet with 1 troop carrier and 3 transport ships, making up for the ships lost by Qu Mao's fleet in the extreme storm at the southernmost cape of the mainland, but because of the extreme storm, the soldiers and sailors who died in the sea Fuzhi has no way to make up for Qu Mao.
The return fleet is still 200 ships, but there are already many fewer high-level fighters and crews brought out from the Holy Land of Yi Gong Territory.
After leaving the Fulu Port of the Principality of Fulu, Qu Mao came to the command cabin where Fuer Swamp was. With the help of the light of the gas death lamp in the command cabin, Qu Mao took out the chart in his backpack and looked at it. After a glance, he handed it to Fuer Swamp and asked, "Fuer, if we want to go to the commercial port of China mainland marked on this chart, how much will it affect our itinerary?"
Full Swamp took a look at the chart, then spread the chart on the podium, took out a ruler and protractor from the drawer, measured it carefully for a while, and then took out a pen and paper to calculate.
After a while, Fuer Swamp raised his head and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, it won't take much time to go to the commercial port of China mainland marked on this chart. After all, this so-called commercial port is on our way back." on the route.
The subordinates think that if we want to go to the commercial port, it will not count as your stay in the commercial port, my lord. It may add about three days to our entire return journey. During such a long-distance voyage, three days is not counted. What a detour. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "In this case, Fuer, then order the fleet to turn to the commercial port of China mainland marked on the chart."
Full Swamp said: "Yes, my lord! This subordinate immediately orders!"
Immediately, Fuer Swamp notified the orderlies in the command cabin to climb to the watchtower in the dark, and use light signals to issue steering orders to all ships.
After dawn, Qu Mao stepped onto the deck and carefully watched the various scenery on the sea.
In the vast sea, even though the fleet has adjusted its sailing direction at night, Qu Mao's overseas trips can't see any changes at all.
Sailing on the vast sea for more than a month, just to see his brother Fuzhi, Qu Mao was still a little guilty when high-ranking soldiers and sailors died due to a severe storm, but when returning from Fuzhi, Qu Mao I still think it's worth the time spent.
As for Lai Diema, Qu Mao's emotions are more complicated. Lai Diema is just an alumnus in another world, even if he is a master in Qu Mao's game, but Lai Diema values Qu Mao's apprenticeship ceremony more than teaching Qu Mao's game. Skill.
After coming to this world, Lai Dima was also very concerned about Qu Mao's affairs, but he supported him more in the form of transactions, so Qu Mao couldn't say how grateful he was to Lai Dima.
After Lai Diema learned of the news of Laifu's arrival, Lai Diema sent more than ten messages on the lord's communication channel almost every day, inviting Qu Mao to visit his territory.
But now that they have all come to the Western Continent, Qu Mao feels that it is unreasonable not to see Lai Diema.
No matter what kind of person Lai Diema is, and no matter how many gold coins Lai Diema earns in his daily interactions, after all, he is a relatively familiar person in another world, and in principle, Lai Diema always stands on the territory of Yi Gong side.
Thinking of this, Qu Mao opened the lord's communication channel, edited a simple message, and sent it out.
When Qu Mao went to Shanggang, he didn't think about trading at all. The main reason was to visit friends, so he couldn't answer Lai Dima's question at all. Of course, Qu Mao's authority on the lord's communication channel was exhausted that day, so he couldn't reply at all. Lai Dima.
Anyway, Foll Swamp said that he can sail to the commercial port where Laidama is located in a week at most, so let’s talk about everything after we meet.
If the simple visit to friends is mixed with the purpose of trade, Qu Mao thinks it is a desecration of the friendship between himself and Lai Dima. But after sailing for three days, Qu Mao suddenly felt that there was no such thing as profanity in the relationship between him and Lai Dima.
After meeting Lai Dima, he definitely couldn't do what Tong Fuzhi did. The two of them communicated with each other, no matter whether there was an equal exchange or not. Maohe took care of Qu Mao, and Qu Mao felt that he and Fu Zhi should not distinguish each other.
But with Lai Dima, there is no such emotional endorsement.
After another week of sailing after turning around, Qu Mao finally stood on the deck and saw a huge port on the coast. Behind the port is a city, and the whole city and port are integrated.
Full Swamp nervously asked the messenger to use semaphore to direct the huge fleet to dock at the pier. Qu Mao even saw Lai Dima, surrounded by countless beauties, standing on the pier to welcome him.
When Qu Mao came down from the stationary warship and came to the pier, Lai Diema greeted him with a smile and said, "Junior Qu Mao, this is the first time since the establishment of my commercial port in the past six years. Allow a fleet of all warships to dock.
You should be proud of this, after all, you are a master's apprentice, so it doesn't hurt to set a precedent. "
Qu Mao said with a smile: "Master Lai, long time no see! This is the first time I saw your territory. Why haven't you developed your territory after so many years?"
Lai Dima said with a smile: "Disciple, it can't be said that I have not developed my territory at all as a teacher. Now my commercial port has an area of 2,000 square kilometers. At the beginning, I only had an area of 100 square meters.
Of course my ambition is to do business on the Continent of Conquest, not to compete for hegemony on the Continent, so it doesn’t make sense to have a large territory, and it’s just right that it’s as big as it is now. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Master Lai, I think it's understandable if you think so, why do you need such a large territory?
It is complicated to manage, but now on the Continent of Hegemony, players attack and annex each other very frequently. Are you not afraid that someone will take your idea? "
Lai Dima laughed a few times and said, "Are you kidding me? Who would dare!
My situation is quite special, you should know it better than anyone else, so if I don’t trouble my neighbors, they should burn their incense. Who dares to trouble me?
Don't talk about this yet, let's go, let me treat you well in Shanggang.
As for business, it doesn't matter whether we talk about it or not! "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Master Lai's proposal is exactly what I want."
