"That's right, these cannons can suppress some aboriginals." An officer who looked like he was holding his musket said.

"If we don't need to fight, these aborigines will be scared to death." Said the old sailor rowing.

"Row quickly." The old sailor urged loudly.

"Clatter. Crash." The sailors rowed the boat quickly, and the boat slowly approached the island.

"Order to stop firing. Enough." The captain said at this time, looking at the island with a telescope.

At this time, there was thick smoke on the island, and a fire was burning in some dry grass.

"Go." As soon as it landed.A large number of sailors rushed up quickly.They carry their muskets.

"Bang. Bang. Bang." The muskets kept firing.

The sailors had little military training, and as soon as they got ashore they shot indiscriminately, hoping to frighten the natives by shooting them.

"Bang. Bang." The sailors kept firing, and they shot where they thought they had enemies.

"Stop, stop, all stop." The old sailor shouted loudly at this time.

"Everyone stop." The old sailor shouted loudly at this time.

"Bang." After a sailor fired the last shot.Just be quiet.The sailors lowered their bodies and looked around cautiously.

The sailors looked around.

"Hey. Did you smell it?" a sailor said cautiously.

"What?" another sailor asked at this time.

"What is so fragrant." Sailor said at this time.

"Hey. That's right. You smell it like it." At this time, a sailor said.

"That's right. That's right." The sailors all said at this time.

"I smell it too. It smells so good," said the sailors.

"Yes. Yes, yes," said the sailors.

"Be careful, don't be poisonous." The old sailor said carefully.

"Ah." The sailors stepped back one after another, "That's right." The sailors said worriedly.The sailors didn't know what to do.However, after the sailors stood their ground, they quickly began to dock their ships, and then their captain went ashore.

"Captain, smell it, is this poisonous gas? This thing is so fragrant. It makes me dizzy." The old sailor said.

"En. Indeed, this thing. It's incense. En. His mother's incense." The captain smelled it and said.

"It's incense. Go and find it. What is it? It smells so fragrant," the captain said.

"En. I've already sent someone there." Said the veteran.

"Well. Look." The captain sat down and said.

"As you said, things that give off an aroma can't be really poisonous, right? The aroma makes me feel dizzy." A sailor said with a musket in his hand.

"That's right, I can smell this scented thing, who knows if it's poisonous." Another sailor said with a musket in his hand.

"En. Stop. It seems. The aroma comes from those burning logs." No.1 sailor said.

"Well, it seems to be." Another sailor said.

"Go. Let's take it back," said the sailor.

"But." Another sailor said, looking at the sailor questioningly.

"Come," said the sailor, putting out the fire above.Then drag the wood back.

"En. It seems that this is a kind of fragrant wood." The captain said after smelling the smoking wood at this time.

"This is a kind of spice wood. This thing is worth more than slaves." The captain said after looking at it.

"Captain, this is fragrant wood. Let me say that, this thing. No wonder it is so fragrant. With this fragrant wood, we will not be rich." A sailor stepped forward and said excitedly.

"That's right. Captain, we haven't sent it yet." Others stepped forward and said.

"Go quickly. Look for this kind of wood and see how many of this kind of wood there are on this island. We need to have a count. The more the better. These things can only be used by the nobles. We ordinary people never thought that, It can be used too." The captain said happily.

"Haha. Go find it quickly." The captain ordered loudly.Then the sailors attacked one after another. They looked for trees like incense wood. In their opinion, a piece of incense wood was the best thing for them to make a fortune.

These fragrant woods are actually spices.At this time, the ships of the Chu State had already entered the South China Sea area. Some islands in the South Sea area were close to some special climates, which made it easy for some vegetation to flourish.It is in this climate that spices are produced.

Among the nobles of the Warring States Period, the demand for spices was very large.Not just food, but various usage aspects as well.And the sources of spices are very few.Only in some jungles in the south, and it is more difficult to find them.Under such circumstances, the spice business is easy to do.Because the demand is great.But the supply is scarce.Such an unexpected discovery naturally made the Chu people feel that they had found a windfall.Such a huge demand stimulated them to carry out another business.Spice business.Such a business is a monopoly business.

"Prime Minister Zhang, we are here this time to learn more about the ocean." Meng Yi took the initiative to come to the South Korean embassy in Qin to find Zhang Liang.

"Oh." Zhang Liang was a little surprised.

"I think your prime minister is related to ocean matters. Oh, it's Prime Minister Shangwen who knows more." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Indeed, our Prime Minister Shangwen mentions the importance of developing the ocean every time, but the current situation in Qin seems to have no intention of developing the ocean. We just want to know this. Although we have a strong The navy, but in terms of ocean trade and overseas colony expansion, seems to have fallen behind your country and Chu country." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"The prime minister was joking." Zhang Liang said with a slight smile.

"Qin just doesn't have time to take care of it at the moment. If Qin actively engages in maritime trade, it will definitely be a different scene," Zhang Liang said.

"Prime Minister, let's talk about the maritime affairs. Perhaps this can make Qin State consider signing an alliance between the two countries." Meng Yi said straightforwardly.

"Oh." Zhang Liang was a little surprised by being so straightforward.

"En. Okay." But Zhang Liang immediately realized that this might be an important reason to impress Qin.

"This overseas trade has a profit of more than a hundred times. But it also has tens of millions of risks. There are pirates on the sea, and water pirates on the Yangtze River. Plus various storms, and unknown insect poisons, diseases, and indigenous people on the islands Yueren's attack is very risky," Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.It was the first time Meng Yi realized this difficult risk.

"Of course. There are still many great benefits overseas. For example, a large number of firearms are imported from Qin State, and these firearms are extremely cheap. However, the price is quite high when sold to those colonies of Chu State. A firearm, It is less than one gold. But if you sell it to the colony, you can get three adult slaves. There are two Vietnamese women in diplomacy. If these slaves are successfully transported to Qin, you can earn more than 50 gold, especially women, who can be sold What a good price. In addition, there are more other supplies. Wine, various bronze vessels, these things are needed by Yue people, and in the hands of Yue people, except for a small part of gold, the rest have a lot Various materials. Rhinoceros hide, ivory, and various wood resources. These are rare things that are not available in the Central Plains countries." Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"Just one trade needed is enough to get more benefits." Meng Yi said.

"Then the colony." Meng Yi continued.
