Faced with such strong storms as India, not to mention that it was in ancient times, even later generations were helpless. In addition, there was no weather forecast in ancient times, so it was impossible to rely on luck. Therefore, it was a very dangerous thing to do ocean trade in ancient times. Most people really dare not get involved, and that was to bet with their lives. Of course, the super high returns were also the temptation to attract people to go out to sea to do ocean trade.

Fortunately, the storm came quickly, came fiercely, and went quickly. After the storm, the sea was cloudless again and the scorching sun was shining. The caravan advanced quickly and arrived in the country more than 20 days later. The caravan stopped again, making a short stop there and properly repaired the warships.

More than ten days later, the various supplies and fresh water needed by the caravan set sail again after replenishing freshwater. The 10,000 soldiers led by Que Yi, Zhou Tai and Sun Li stayed in the Yichengbuguo. Their purpose was to conquer the country in a short time and let Lu Ning set up a naval base in the Indian Ocean. This was only beneficial and not harmful for ocean trade or westward expedition. This island country is also a very important place in the Indian Ocean. Once this place becomes Lu Ning's sea base, it will form a chain together with Yitan Island, which is also an indispensable link for Lu Ning's expedition to the west.

After more than six months of arduous sailing, Mi Tian led the caravan to the land of Fars Province again after more than a year. When the city lord of Fars Province saw the caravan, Du Bang jumped happily. After Lu Ning and his party left last time, Du Bang made a big splash in Anxu, saying that the caravans of the Han Dynasty would arrive again and would bring more silk, ceramics and other items.

Due to various reasons, Mi Tian's caravan delayed the departure time, which made the Du Gang very anxious during this period. He was afraid that the caravan under Lu Ning would not come. In that case, the big talk he made in Anxu country would not be explained. Moreover, the nobles, high-ranking officials, rich people, and even princes and queens would have to buy a large amount of silk products. If this wave of people was offended, the Du Gang would probably not have a good life in the future. How did he explain to everyone and how to face the eyes of others?

Of course, it was not the Du Gang who was anxious, and there was Smith, a Roman man. Last time he earned a lot of gold coins from Lu Ning, which was a money he could not make in business for decades. According to the situation provided by Lu Ning when he left, he now bought more than 5,000 slaves from Rome, Egypt, Greece and other countries (in fact, they were all craftsmen, all famous craftsmen, doctors, engineers, artists and other professional talents in Rome and other countries), and tens of thousands of volumes of various technical materials, books, and paintings. In particular, many craftsmen spent money to make them turn into slaves, with the purpose of buying them. If Lu Ning's people didn't come, he would lose all his money, and even the problem of eating more than 5,000 people could not be solved.

Fortunately, after hearing his difficulties, Wei Yan knew that it was his lord's request for the Hehe things, so he was responsible for the life problems of the more than 5,000 slaves. Of course, Wei Yan also wanted to use this to let the great craftsmen design the places Smith had to rely on to make the docks, exchanges and various defense measures better. After all, this is leaving the country. If you want to live longer, powerful fortifications are indispensable.

In addition to the Du Gang's happy, Wei Yan and his 500 soldiers were also very happy. They were in Fars Province for more than a year, thousands of miles apart, and they did not receive any support from the country. They had to solve everything themselves when they encountered it. They suddenly saw their caravan, and the joy was not something that ordinary people could understand. Only those who had experienced it could understand it.

Wei Yan and the five hundred soldiers under him saw their merchant ship arrive, and before they could wait for the warship to berth, they immediately swam in the sea. The excitement was really touching. They just wanted to run to the warship as soon as possible, just like home, and they would feel very relatives and very at ease.

After Wei Yan and his five-right officers and soldiers boarded the warship, they hugged Mi Tian, ​​Yan Rou and others. At this time, no one would have thought of any rituals of the Han Dynasty. Hug was their first choice, and those hypocritical etiquettes were ignored at this time. Therefore, Western hug etiquettes were probably formed in this way.

After the docking, the Du Gang hugged Mi Tian and others, and held a grand welcoming banquet for them. The most exciting thing at the whole banquet was the Du Gang. He was extremely excited now, especially with more than fifty ships of supplies, which were all things they rest in peace, and were very difficult to buy in Rome. These supplies would bring him countless gold coins and wealth, and would also bring him better connections.

The transaction is very simple. After all, the Du Bang has already found sales channels and people who receive goods. Most of them were purchased by senior officials in Guizhou, Anli, and have rich people. Very few people actually went straight to the market to sell directly. Some of them, in Guizhou, rich people took out a small part to make some money.

In Mi Tian's procurement, there were mainly various books, technical materials and various craftsmen in Smith's hands, and there were not many other things. After all, the Smith Gang prepared very well. Of course, Mi Tian did not let him suffer any losses, and also earned him a lot of gold coins. Now Smith has only cooperated with Lu Ning and others twice, and his wealth has increased at an unparalleled speed. It is estimated that Smith at this time should be considered a very rich person in Rome, and his status has been greatly improved.

Therefore, he also paid more attention to the subsequent cooperation, and obtained the cutting-edge talents and technology from Rome, Egypt, Greece and other places at any cost, and then sold them to Lu Ning and others. Especially in the current Western countries, no one has the concept of technical protection. No one cares about those technical talents. Basically, as long as they spend enough gold coins, they can become slaves. Of course, it is still very difficult to get masters of paintings. After all, the West also attaches great importance to masters of paintings. At this time, Lu Ning was not very interested in those great calligraphers and painters. If there is, buy them, and it doesn't matter if there is.

Mi Tian also brought dozens of spies from Tian Choo's hands. They will enter the Akira, Rome, Egypt, Greece and other regions in the shortest time. Of course, their identity is merchants, merchants who open shops in these countries. They operate goods from big men. But their real purpose is to engage in espionage activities, collect various intelligence, bribe relevant personnel, and prepare for Lu Ning's future work.

In addition, due to the second arrival of the caravan, Anxu Kingdom also attached great importance to it, and the king also sent someone to sign a friendly cooperation agreement with Mi Tian and others. The agreement stated that both parties did not do anything to harm each other, and both parties could enjoy the lowest preferential treatment for business transactions, especially given very large preferential policies in taxation. At the same time, the personnel of both parties enjoy the right to freedom in the other party's territory, and no one interferes, and must also ensure the safety of their personal life and property.

More than a month later, Wei Yan and his 500 soldiers and 23,000 well-trained mercenaries (slaves) returned with Mi Tian. Yan Rou and his 1,000 soldiers were stationed in Fars Province. They wanted to take over Wei Yan and his other jobs, continue to guard the base dock here and ensure the safety of merchant ships in the future.
