Chapter 94

"If you don't like them, don't mess with these people." Fomalhaut turned around and left. Zhao Chengping still had something to ask him to do, and Xie Yun followed closely behind, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Zhao Chengping was in the room, carefully looking at the map on the wall.

When Fomalhaut entered the house, he was facing the gate with his back, pointing to a certain place, and drawing a winding road, which was connecting Chang'an and West Asia since Zhang Qian, the Bowang Hou of the Han Dynasty, opened up the Western Regions. There are several passages between them, as far as the Roman Empire.

It has a famous name - Silk Road.

When the Chinese finally decided to expand the scope of use of the compass, the Maritime Silk Road began to prosper,
After Chang'an was no longer the center of all countries coming to Korea, Quanzhou became the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. Every day, countless large and small cargo ships departed from Quanzhou Port and reached as far as the east coast of Africa.

The Chinese sent silk and porcelain to the world, and brought back exotic goods, gold and silver.

Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas, connecting the South China Sea to Southeast Asian countries, and Changsha was full of Chinese merchant ships for thousands of miles.

Fomalhaut's footsteps stopped behind Zhao Chengping: "You said you were looking for me, what's the matter?"

Without turning around, Zhao Chengping drew a range on the map with his right index finger: the Nansha Islands.

Fomalhaut asked puzzled, "What, you want to go to sea?"

"No, I need you to help me find some jars of wine." Zhao Chengping turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Looking for wine? Doesn't your house sell wine?" Fomalhaut still didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Zhao Chengping picked up a yellowed book from the table, written with a brush, without even a punctuation mark, only a few circles called "sentence reading" drawn with cinnabar.

"My family's Yueliu Cream comes from this "Wine Classic", but Yueliu Cream is only a semi-finished product. The real finished version is Hongye Ningshuang, because it can't reach the color of Hongye Ningshuang, so I have to Changed its name to Yueliushuang, the wine is made according to the recipe, the color of the wine is redder than the current Yueliushuang, and at the same time, it will be more mellow and thicker in the mouth, suitable for the taste of foreigners."

Hearing what he said, Fomalhaut asked strangely, "Then why doesn't your family follow the prescription?"

"Because there are some things missing, those kinds of things recorded in ancient books are completely unheard of. However, since they can be used to make wine, there must have been many, many in that era, and it is impossible to become extinct so soon, so it must be a record. Fangzi's people used his own dialect, but... this person has been wandering around since he was young, no one knows what dialect he used, maybe this dialect has become extinct."

Since it is a language that may be extinct, there is really no need to bother. Fomalhaut nodded: "But your Yue Liushuang is also selling well."

Zhao Chengping shook his head: "No, a semi-finished product is a semi-finished product. If you have never seen the best, then of course you can get past this level, but there is not only one "Jiu Jing", there is another family in this small town. I have it in my hand, if it was created by his family first, wouldn't it be passive?"

It's not that I don't understand the truth of putting everything in front of others, but how many people are there who are truly prepared for danger in times of peace? Moonlight frost is now something that businessmen from all over the country and even France are rushing to buy. The supply has always been in short supply. Zhao Chengping While taking over the task of developing overseas markets, he also wanted to improve the wine recipe.

Fomalhaut suddenly understood why the superiors chose to let him take over as the agent.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Fomalhaut, who had never been too concerned about these mundane matters, suddenly felt that he should help him to accomplish this.

What Zhao Chengping was most worried about was his refusal. After all, it was still very difficult to go to the Nansha Islands at the moment. If Fomalhaut refused to help, he would have to go in person. In terms of time, it would not be a matter of a day or two.

"The last batch of recorded Hongye Ningshuang was shipped to Malaysia, and it capsized and sank in the Strait of Malacca. If you can find the Wanli, you can find that batch of wine, bring back a few bottles, and analyze it. something."

Fomalhaut frowned slightly: "You want me to go to the South China Sea?"

"Correct."

"The South China Sea is far away from here."

"So this mission is none other than you." Zhao Chengping said very sincerely.

Fomalhaut's eyes fell on the large map on the wall. The large blue area at the bottom of the map of China. Compared with the rough waves of the Indian Ocean, the ups and downs of the Atlantic Ocean, and the biting cold of the Arctic Ocean, it was the most peaceful sea area in the world. It was definitely the most peaceful sea area in the world. It deserves the name people give it - the Pacific Ocean.

but……

"In this place, since the Qin Dynasty, at least tens of thousands of Chinese merchant ships have sunk there. Even if counting from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are two or three thousand ships. It is not human-powered to find a ship with red leaves and frost hidden in the Wanli period. It can be done." Fomalhaut expressed doubts about the investigation of big data.

Zhao Chengping smiled even wider: "Yes, it is precisely because it can be done by non-manpower that I thought of asking you for help."

It seemed that he had written himself into the plan a long time ago. Fomalhaut had always given orders and led thousands of troops, but suddenly he was arranged by a mortal, and it seemed that he was not going to give him any room to refuse. He was quite concerned about this. There are criticisms.

"Use mana, do something beyond the scope of human ability, and the higher-ups will find out that there is a change in the world, and they will come down to find me." Fomalhaut made a big move.

Zhao Chengping was confident: "This is not a problem. Although the planes fly slowly now, it only takes one day to get to Nansha. Just go at the speed of the plane. Isn't it considered a human movement?"

Indeed, it was not considered a change, Fomalhaut said again: "The depth of the shipwreck is not deep enough for ordinary fishermen to go down. If the Dragon King finds out, please make a small report..."

"I thought of that too." Zhao Chengping opened the box in the corner, and there was a set of diving suits and oxygen cylinders that looked weird. "This diving suit is custom-made by me. It can dive about 40 meters underwater. The depth that mortals can reach, the Wanli should almost be in this position."

In fact, the north represents the water in the five elements, Fomalhaut has a good relationship with everyone in the sea, not to mention that the dragon king's report on him will not affect him at all, it will only cause trouble for himself, so he will definitely sell him Favor, in turn help him.

He just... didn't want to go, so he just made excuses.

Zhao Chengping was not stupid either. Seeing him pushing back and forth to find a reason, he knew that he just didn't want to go, so he asked, "You stay in this small town every day, don't you feel bored? Why don't you want to go out for activities?"

Fomalhaut sighed: "If you are wandering around all year round, you will also hope for stability."

When Zhao Chengping almost thought he was going to refuse, he said again:
"However, if this is your wish, then I will go."
