"That's right." Concubine Ma replied softly: "The nine translations are translated in the Nantianzhu language."

This place was called "Nanbi Kingdom" in later generations, "Guli Buddha" in the Yuan Dynasty, and "Guli" in the Ming Dynasty. "Ibn Baitutai Youji" is called "Kalicut".

Nowadays, the Tamils ​​in South India called "Kallikkottai" or "Kallikkottai". Located in the southwest of South India on the coast of Malabar (note ①), it is rich in black pepper. Because the Pandiya countries in South India all use yellow branches as the sea estuary, they monopolize spice trade. Therefore, the smuggling became a trend and gradually flourished. Later generations called "Spice City".

"A Brief History of the Island Barbarians" records that "the great sea is at its peak, the Western horse head", "the mountains are erect and the fields are barren, and the seaside is the city". It also says, "Real estate pepper", "their corals, real beads, frankincense and other goods are all from Ganli and Franciss."

The "Gan (bury) theory and Folang" recorded in later generations are now called Haixi, collectively known as Daqin.

Spices are essential for the Han people in daily life and are indispensable. Whether it is "scented to ward off filth" or "burn the gods to worship ancestors". Wearing fragrance, decorating fragrance, eating fragrance, bathing fragrance, applying fragrance, pillow fragrance, burning fragrance, giving fragrance, giving fragrance, and giving fragrance, it is all used. Even in "Han Guanyi", the Shangshu Lang needs to "contain the fragrance of chicken tongue and report the matter". "The Biography of Zhao Feiyan" records the Zhao sisters, even more: "(The emperor) bathes in the five aggregates and seven fragrance soup, sits in the fragrance of the fragrance of the gods and the hundred aggregates of the fragrance; Jieyu bathes in the cardamom soup, and Fu (Fu) Rehwa Hundred Ying powder."

It was also because of the custom of using incense by the Han people, which helped promote the prosperity of the spice trade.

The strange fragrances in foreign lands gather here.

Suhexiang, "The Great Qin State combines all the fragrances, and the juice is fried, which is called Suhe". The Xianglu Incense, "The Great Qin State comes out of the Great Qin State, and the clouds are on the seaside. There are big trees growing in the sand. In midsummer, the gum flows out of the sand. The barbarians take it to sell it to others." The Douhu Incense, "The Great Qin State comes out of the Great Qin State". Rosemary, "The Great Qin State comes out of the Rosemary".

There are many, more than ten kinds.

"Orchid, orchid, pepper, and cinnamon are all fragrant." From this we can see that pepper is also a spice.

The seaguard sighed that everything in the western land is inferior. Only the strange fragrance can be compared with silk.

In other words, spices also have the effect of balancing trade between the East and the West. The "benzo" produced in the Sabre Country is one of them.

Previously, the sea route was not smooth, and there was no big road, and it traveled far away from the ocean. Therefore, spices and silk were mostly transported by land. Now, King Ji destroyed pirates, dug sea canals, set up sea ports, and set up sea cities. Ship merchants from all over the country all went to the 500 city ports of Ji State. Large-scale maritime trade emerged.

The tariffs of the Huangzhi Kingdom are taken in two or three (20% to 30%). "Tears of Chios" were trafficked to the Kerigodai smuggling port, which is reasonable.

Taking advantage of the Battle of Seven Islands, the focus of the countries. The three-legged slutched blacks were all on the spot. King Ji made a quick decision and took the Crow. He served as a maritime merchant and went to Keligorde Port.

In addition to Yunxiawei, there were also nine shogunate officials such as the Shigunate, who accompanied him.

What a good knock, the cicada escaped.

Just imagine, who would have expected that King Ji would ignore the situation of the war and appeared on the west bank of South India, and smuggled the spice harbor just to search for clues of the Western Women's Kingdom.

The two countries of the East and West Women, the two tribes of the Amazon and the Ancient Qiang. The reason why King Ji was obsessed with him was because the matriarchal clan was deeply imprinted, extremely close and even surpassed, and later independent female personality. Especially the Amazon and the East Women, men could still be vassals. However, the Western Women, in addition to continuing the bloodline, there was almost no male participation in daily life, but it was passed down for thousands of years. It was stronger and stronger, and was conducive to birth and nurture. How could King Ji not cherish it?

The strong always support the weak and beat the strong. Only the weak like to hold on to the strong and bully the weak.

Therefore, the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker.

King Ji is in front of him, no one claims to be strong.

Kerigodai is a gang. It is located in the country of Zheluo in the Three Kingdoms of Tamil. Zheluo and Zheluo are adjacent to Zheluo. Zhuluo is what Xuanzang of Tang said, Zhuliye: "The country of Zhuliye is "a thousand four hundred miles a day, and the capital of the country is more than ten miles a day. The land is empty, the squatters are deserted, the residents are few, and the robbers are traveling. The atmosphere is warm and the customs are traitors (guǐ), the human nature is rugged, and the people are worshipped and believe in heretics."

By just "poaching publicly", we can know the national conditions of southern India.

The private smuggling port is officially called a free port. It is rumored that any ship can be parked here to supplement consumption. There is no heavy tax exploitation. It is more abundant in pepper, and the sales are profitable, far exceeding the tariffs. It also helps the Noble City to flourish.

King Ji came looking for fragrance.

The port of Kerigord is backed by mountains and seas, and opens the water surface. Even in the monsoon and rainy season, it is still calm. The surrounding water network is densely populated with shallow lagoons. Coconut trees are clustered with tidal flats near the beach, and pepper trees are mostly grown among the hills of the Western Ghats. In the port, along the branches and water banks, winding the waterfront, and staggered tall buildings: "The rich family planted many coconut trees for thousands. The tender ones can drink, brew wine, and the old ones can make oil, sugar, and rice. (trees) can be built into houses, leaves can be used instead of tiles, shells can be made into cups, and crumbled into ash can be placed in gold."

In addition to building buildings, coconut trees can also build ships.

Tianzhu Shipbuilding, the "Simplified Chinese Records of Islands" in the Yuan Dynasty, recorded: "(Sweet and buried in the woods) are horse ships, which are larger than commercial ships. They are 'not allowed to be nailed ashes' and use coconut ropes to form pieces. Each ship has two or three layers, and the plates are stacked horizontally, and the leakage is invincible. The people in the sky day and night are endless."

It can be seen that local shipbuilding has extremely poor seals and severe leakage. A special person must be set up to scoop out water. It can be seen that a thousand years later, the Indians still did not have watertight compartments. There is no nail joint and mortise joint, and the ship hull construction method is not available.

It is conceivable how to travel far away from the ocean on this boat.

You can also get a glimpse of the whole leopard. It can be seen that the Han Dynasty is leading the world for thousands of years.

Although the Crow is hiding in the Ship Palace, it has a fighting ship standard. Compared with the Western Land merchant ships and Tianzhu horse ships, it is also called a giant ship. Fortunately, everyone knows that the Northern Tianzhu has been merged by King Ji. There are also many merchant ships in Ji Kingdom along the ports and Tianjin. Therefore, when I saw the Crow and Kailigodai Port, there was no panic at the top and bottom.

The Crow was added, and the temple was built specifically for King Ji, and it was built with all its strength. It is also different from the standard fighting ship. It can also hide the eyes and ears.

Crow's Earl Room.

King Ji raised his thousand-mile mirror and looked at the whole picture in the harbor.

Concubine An beside her asked softly, "Husband, where do you want to go?"

King Ji has already made up his mind: "Let's go here."

Concubine An raised the mirror and looked at it smoothly, and couldn't help but smile: "It's this person."

It turned out that there was a residence near the mouth of Zhijin's sea. The banner of "King of Han Mengqidoule" was hung high on the waterfront.

Previously, the great Roman merchant, Mess Tittianus IV, presented the "Perfect Pass to the East" to restore the country in an attempt to revive the country by the King of Ji. However, he promised his convenience of trading and trading (see "Three Kingdoms·1.291 Empire Ambition" for details).

The resumption of the country was not achieved. Mess Titianus IV retreated when he was in trouble. His caravans were trafficking in famous products and traveling to and from home. However, he never saw him. Ji State settled. Where did the "monarch who lost his country" go? King Ji was quite curious.

Unexpectedly, I met here today.

King Ji thought about it again.

Could it be that Mess Titianus IV wanted to take the opportunity to occupy this port and build a business alliance?
