Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 320 The People of God
Ten days later, all the second-hand boats I bought were refurbished.Li Xiang took the soldiers and brought baskets of beans and bottled mineral water onto the boat.

It is about 860 nautical miles from Fuzhou to Hainan (Note 1). The current speed of the ship is about 4.6 knots. If everything goes well, it will take about eight days for them to reach Qiongzhou.

Although the time is not long, the preparation work still needs to be done well.Perishable things like vegetables are not brought.But you can bring some beans and use them to sprout bean sprouts, which can solve the problem of vitamin intake.

As for the water...

Zuo Fu sent mineral water directly.There are many difficulties to overcome in sea navigation these years, and water is a big problem.Water in wooden barrels can easily stink, and these days, once you go to sea, no matter how high your status is, you can only eat this kind of stinky water after a long time.

Therefore, it would be a good choice to directly carry the mineral water on board.Of course, when he arrived in Qiongzhou, Zuo Fu would definitely try to install sea water desalination devices on every boat, or even carry several sets of manual and portable sea water desalination devices.

With this thing, it is equivalent to having a big killer, which can make the fleet sail farther and safer, and there is no reason to miss it.

Of course, at the moment, you can only use mineral water to make do with it.

In addition to these, each person also distributed 40 packs of instant noodles and 20 compressed biscuits.Whether there are fewer fires on board or less, we will arrive in Qiongzhou in a few days, so there is no need to be too particular.

The merchants who got Zuofu's promise also worked hard this time, and a dozen large and small maritime merchants actually got nearly forty ships.In this way, adding the seven second-hand boats in Zoff's hands and the ten official boats, there are almost sixty boats.

Although these ships are large and small, they also have about 300 materials on average. Each ship can be loaded with a hundred people plus some materials, and it is still very easy to pull them to Qiongzhou at one time.

After loading the supplies on the ship, Zuofu also arranged for the refugees to board the ship.If everything goes well, she will be able to reach Qiongzhou in at most ten days.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zuo Fu looked at the blue sea, and for some reason, he felt a bit of arrogance and intensity.

The past is more than a thousand years old, Wei Wu waved his whip, and there is a posthumous chapter near Jieshi to the east.The bleak autumn wind is here again, and the world has changed.

Some people in the capital are laughing.

It is said that she looks beautiful, but in fact she has lost the trust of the emperor.

Yes, it's true, but so what? !

How do these sparrows know the lofty ambitions?

Leaving the center of power, she will have even greater achievements in the vast world of Qiongzhou!And it can also find a truly reliable way out for the Zuo family!

It doesn't matter if the emperor guards against her!
She understood that no matter who sat in such a position, such a courtier would be on guard!
Comprehensible does not mean submissive!She had to find a way out for her family!
Qiongzhou is a good place, although it is useless in the eyes of the natives!But in Zoff's eyes, it is an excellent strategic position!The island is rich in mineral resources, and it is close to Southeast Asia. If you go down the Southeast Asian islands, you can find Australia. If you want to escape in the future, you will have more choices!

And the conditions for developing industries on Hainan Island are better than those in Changzhou!At least, she can think about building a small dam!Then build some salt ponds, not only for the common people to eat, but also for industrial use.

In addition, she can also buy Brazilian Hevea saplings on Taobao, and she will be able to harvest rubber in a few years.

The most critical step in making a steam engine is the seal, which is obviously difficult to achieve without rubber.Zuo Fu can buy rubber from Taobao, but if Daming cannot produce blood and meet his own needs, then after she dies, these will become meaningless.

So what she has to do is to allow Daming to make blood on his own, so that technology can continue to develop.

She only hopes that she can take a train once in her lifetime.Although this idea seemed unrealistic, she didn't think it was impossible.After all, as long as she doesn't die too early and gives her enough time to improve her education, then this wish should also come true.

So, at this moment, Zuo Fu's chest was hot and his heart was full of pride!She believes that she will be able to build a sky in Qiongzhou and build a safe sky for her parents!

The boat started slowly, and Ai Julian, who was recovering, came to Zuo Fu and sighed: "The sea is so beautiful!"

Zuo Fu turned his head to look at Ai Julian.

After ten days of recuperation, the old man was recovering with amazing resilience.Last time he needed someone to help him walk, but now he can climb onto the boat by himself.

This vitality is not generally strong!
"Father, can you recruit sailors?"

"Your Excellency, are you preparing for the sea trade?"

Zoffe nodded, "Yes, I think I need some sailors, and I also want galleons and cannons."

Ayulio was taken aback, "Oh my God! How do you know Galen sailing ship?! It's a monster on the ocean!"

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "If you have the heart, I don't think there are any secrets in this world."

"You are really a caring person. No wonder you can gain the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and entrust an island as big as Qiongzhou to your management."

After Ai Julius sighed, he began to think.

After a while, he said, "If it's an ordinary galleon, I think I can buy it for you. But if it's a bigger galleon..."

"Father."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "I think I have shown my sincerity to your Pope, after all, in the land of Daming, I am the only one who promised you as an official person that I can freely preach on Qiongzhou Island. "

After a pause, he continued, "I think the priest doesn't know my other identity?"

Zuo Fu raised his lips, "In addition to being the Duke of Zhen, I am also the head of Jiangning County. The county head is in my country, and that is the title only the daughter of a prince can have. Jiangning is my fiefdom. Now Beijing is falling into the hands of Tatars. Jiangning has become the capital in the hands of others, and His Majesty awarded me this place because our family saved him at the risk of our whole family being killed when he was in the most difficult time."

Ai Julius trembled slightly.After coming to China for so many years, he is already half Chinese.I naturally understand the implicit hints of the Chinese.

He couldn't help being excited when he thought that this person who could reach heaven and even influence His Majesty the Emperor was on the side of God.

God!

Is my suffering in China finally coming to an end?Does this noble lady also want to join the church?That's why you are so passionate about me?
"Oh, dear Fu, you know a lot about the West, you are not the same as those Ming officials. I think our pope will be very happy to help you, after all, half of your country is now lost in those In the hands of barbarians, it is our duty to help the church country!"

A holy light shone on Father Ajulio's face, and his body also glowed with golden light. He raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked into the distance. Have you ever thought about becoming a child of God?"

"Oh, if I have the honor, I hope you will baptize me so that I can do my part for God."

"This is really good!"

Ai Julian said in surprise: "I am very honored..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Ajulio's eyes rested on Zoff's wrist.

Just now, he inadvertently swept Zuo Fu's hand, and then a scene that broke his heart appeared!

That's the beads!

This, how can this be? !
Don't you want to be a child of God?Why are you still wearing Buddhist beads?
"My lord, forgive me. Are you a Buddhist bead? Are you a Buddhist?"

Zuofu waved his hand and said, "Father, don't pay attention to these trivial matters. The important thing is that I am baptized and I am a Catholic, right?"

"Yes, but this..."

"what happened?"

Zuo Fu "was about to cry", "Can't you join the Catholic Church while wearing a Buddhist bead? But it was given to me by an eminent monk. I have a deep friendship with him. In our country, it is a shame to disappoint a friend." Hell. I think God is merciful and magnanimous, so he shouldn’t care about these things, right?”

"This……"

Ai Julian's brain short-circuited.

It’s nothing more than ordinary people’s religious views being pragmatic!But, but you are a nobleman, a duke of the state!How can you be so half-hearted? !

But this person in front of him is really influential, he can't miss the opportunity to be baptized for her!After all, it would be an extremely glorious thing if it was reported to the church!Will the Pope be happy about it?After all, in the distant Golden Kingdom, a woman who can influence the monarch becomes a Catholic, and this influence will be incomparable!
"All right!"

Ai Julius compromised, "You Ming people always say that you do as the Romans do, I don't think you should be so rigid."

"now it's right."

Zuofu laughed, "Whether I believe in God or Buddha, it doesn't matter, does it? For mortals, these gods are great, and they can bless us mortals. As long as those people believe that gods can bless them, they can gone."

"Oh, God!"

Ayulio made the sign of the cross, and couldn't help saying: "You are really a bold person, you seem to lack the fear of God."

"Father, you are mistaken."

Zuo Fu turned his head, leaned on the railing, looked at the seagulls in the sky, and said softly: "I fear God, and I believe that there are gods three feet above my head. However, we Daming people, no, to be precise, we Chinese people have been here since ancient times. So far, I am not a person who is good at asking God for help. Have you heard the legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns?"

Zuo Fu raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "When the sky broke, I smelted stones to mend it; when the flood came, I didn't ask the prophet, but I dug a canal to dredge it; when the disease was prevalent, I didn't ask for a miracle, so I tried medicine and cured it myself; If you drown in the East China Sea, fill it up, and if you are exposed to the sun, shoot down the sun!"

She turned her head and said word by word: "Whoever wants to be a stone of choice, let him go! Whoever wants to be a prostrate lamb, let him go too! In the world split by the axe, there are people who refuse to bow to fate everywhere." People!!" (Note 2)

Ai Julian was shocked!
At this moment, the sun dyed the entire surface of the sea golden, and she was like a god walking from the sparkling golden sea, with a dazzling and sacred light, which made people admire and shocked at the same time!
This is an inviolable nation...

Elliott lost his mind...

　Note 1: The number of nautical miles from Fuzhou to Hainan was not found. After trying to figure out the land distance, the result was more than 600 nautical miles.However, since it is walking along the coast, it is in a "zigzag" shape, so the number of nautical miles should be higher.As for the speed, it is written according to the results estimated by some modern archaeological experts.If not, don't spray.

　　Note 2: This passage is quoted from the Internet, the author has made a small change, and there are a few more sentences in the original version!Well, the reason why I want to quote this passage is that I really like it!This passage is really soul-stirring and blood-boiling!It points out the national spirit of our Chinese people to strive for self-improvement!This chapter is also [-] words long!Today's update is complete, good night everyone!
