Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 235 Arriving in Zhanbo Country

The fleet sailed on the sea for another seven or eight days, resting twice in the middle, and finally on March 23, came to the first trading place this time, a country named Chambo.This should also be a large trading port, which can be seen from a distance, and there are a lot of merchant ships docked in the port.

Chu Ruifeng's fleet slowly sailed into the port, then dropped anchor and docked.When the ship stopped, the sailors got on the springboard and other things, and then the people on board began to carry the goods down.Long before departure, the goods that need to be traded here have been arranged, so Qinglei Qingdian directed the people to carry them down the ship in an orderly manner.

"Let's go, let's get off the boat too. We need to stay here for about ten days. I have to buy a lot of things. If there is nothing else, I can take you to see the scenery here." Chu Ruifeng pulled Qiao Yun hands, and the two walked off the boat side by side.

"This place is rich in ivory, rhino horn, ebony and other things, which are very popular in Daliao. We came out this time to buy more." Chu Ruifeng gave a brief introduction to Qiaoyun as he walked. "We have a special warehouse here, and we also have our own residence, so we don't have to worry about food and accommodation. You can live here with peace of mind, and go out wherever you like."

"Although your injury has healed now, it's better not to be too tired. Let's rest for a few days and wait for you to recover. I'll take you out to play. I've been at sea for so long, I'm afraid you won't feel well , Rest early today."

Chu Ruifeng warned carefully, and Qiao Yun felt very heartwarming when he heard it.These days, the relationship between the two of them can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and they get along better and better.Chu Ruifeng treated Qiaoyun like a treasure, and after the relationship between the two gradually stabilized, they were no longer as aggressive as before, but more gentle and meticulous.

Chu Ruifeng has a delicate mind, and he is even more caring and considerate to Qiaoyun.And he also noticed that Qiaoyun didn't like to be too close to people, so he changed his previous practice, no longer always hugging Qiaoyun as before.Sure enough, in this way, Qiao Yun became more relaxed and at ease, and the two of them got along more harmoniously.

Of course, Chu Ruifeng is only in front of outsiders, so he won't be too intimate with Qiaoyun, and Chu Ruifeng still loves to tease Qiaoyun when they get along in private.The two of them chatted, laughed and fought together, and their relationship gradually became stronger.

Today's Qiao Yun has opened her heart to accept Chu Ruifeng, and has a better understanding of Chu Ruifeng.Naturally, the more she understood, the deeper Qiaoyun's heart sank, and she couldn't do without Chu Ruifeng.

The two walked down the diving board side by side, and together with Qing Lei and others, they hired a number of carriages from the pier and loaded all the goods and luggage on it.Just as everyone was loading the goods, the local merchants all gathered around, scrambling to buy the goods.

But Chu Ruifeng did not trade with these people, but directly ordered to go. Qing Lei and others didn't find it strange, and directly led the people to drive the carriage, and followed them all the way to the city.

The pier was still far away from where they were going, so Chu Ruifeng specially hired a carriage for Qiaoyun.Chuntao, Xiahe and Aunt Li all sat in the carriage with Qiaoyun.It's late March, and the weather here is already very hot. There are no curtains or even screens on the carriage, which is good. Qiaoyun can clearly observe the situation of the people here.

It is said that this place is still a vassal state of Daliao. Of course, it is just a name, sending people to the court to pay tribute to the court every year.However, due to the frequent exchanges between the two countries, especially the frequent non-governmental trade exchanges, it can be clearly seen that the costumes of the people here are basically not much different from those in Daliao.Of course, there are also some people wearing local clothes, and they look pretty good.

However, Qiao Yun's attention is not on the style of clothes these people wear, but on the materials.It may be that the people I met along the way were relatively poor coolies. These people basically wore linen, and very few people wore other fabrics.

Qiao Yun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, she thought she could see something different.It's strange to say that no cotton has been found in this year, Qiaoyun really wants to know whether she didn't find it, or if there is really no such thing.

According to Qiaoyun's memory in her previous life, the origin of herbal cotton was in the subtropical zone. It was first distributed in India and Arabia, and then gradually spread to other places. It has been recorded in "Liang Shu Gaochang Biography", and it is called Baidiezi, but at that time cotton was grown in the garden and appreciated as flowers.

By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, herbal cotton had been introduced into the inland from the border, and the word cotton next to the wood character began to appear.And gradually, cotton has become a kind of textile raw material.By the Ming Dynasty, cotton had been widely planted, and the cotton textile industry also flourished.

But for some reason, the time and space Qiaoyun is in now is different from what she remembered.Qiaoyun didn't know what went wrong, but she hadn't found cotton in Daliao until now.This time she went to sea, Qiaoyun actually came here for cotton, she just wanted to find out if she could see cotton overseas.

But along the way, she was really disappointed. She couldn't see it on the locals, so it probably wasn't possible.Originally, she was full of hope, but now, Qiaoyun was a little frustrated, it was so boring, there was nothing she was looking for.

The carriage walked all the way towards the city, and after walking for about an hour, it finally came to a city.Qiaoyun felt a little depressed, so she didn't look outside, but Chuntao and Xiahe were looking outside curiously.

"Look, girl, this is a city, but it looks so small, it's not as good as ours in Haining Prefecture. I heard from them before that this is a relatively large city in the local area." Chuntao shouted excitedly cloud.

Qiaoyun turned her head and took a look outside, and sure enough, as Chuntao said, this city is not as good as Haining Prefecture, and it is not as good as other cities in Daliao.But this is not unusual, this place is just a vassal state of Daliao, not as powerful as Daliao.It is probably very good to have such a city.

At this moment, Chu Ruifeng and others have brought the convoy to the gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city naturally want to check it.These soldiers are actually pointing at this to make extra money.Most of the people entering the city from here are caravans from other places, and they are rich in lucrative water. If they don't take the opportunity to fish some, aren't they fools?
