She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Emperor Qiming saw Shangguan Ziqi and others coming back from afar and walked to the bow of the ship.

"Hongyi, they are back and brought local people with them." Emperor Qiming was very happy.

Ever since Shangguan Ziqi set out with his men, he and the old prince would ask the guards every hour whether they had returned.

It was already 3 p.m., and no one had come back yet. They were getting a little anxious.

Later, the guards reported that many people gathered on the shore to watch their big ship, but Emperor Qiming didn't pay much attention to it.

It is normal for people to be curious when there are outsiders.

Later, he couldn't wait any longer, so he walked to the bow of the boat, took out a telescope and looked at the coast. He just saw Shangguan Ziqi and others getting off the carriage, and saw two locals making gestures to drive people away, and then the onlookers slowly dispersed.

Shangguan Ziqi took Rajiv and Ajay onto their boat.

Qingfeng picked up a bright flag and waved it vigorously a few times.

The sailors on the large ship received the signal and prepared to respond.

When they came under the big ship, they lowered several ropes and lifted the small boat up.

"Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to father, we are back." Yu Yuanzheng was the first to jump off the boat and shouted happily.

Shangguan Ziqi brought Rajiv and the other two to Emperor Qiming and greeted him respectfully.

He used gestures to introduce Emperor Qiming and the old prince to the two of them.

The two of them seemed to understand, but seeing Shangguan Ziqi's respectful attitude towards them, they knew that his identity was not simple.

He bowed politely and said greetings.

Unfortunately, I don't understand.

"Your Majesty, these two people should be local merchants or people in charge. We showed them some of the things we brought ashore. They were very interested and asked to come on board to take a look." Shangguan Ziqi reported.

"That's right. It's great to meet merchants the first time we dock. Let's show them our goods." Emperor Qiming said.

They set out from Dawei and sailed on the sea for one month and four days. They had gone far enough. If they could sell everything on the ship here, they wouldn't have to sail any further. With this exploration and sailing experience, they could go further next time.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng took Rajiv and the other man to visit a cargo ship first.

He used a wooden plank to cross to a boat nearby.

Rajiv and the others were already shocked when they approached the ships, and now seeing them at such a close distance, they were even more amazed.

The two of them looked around.

They said that many countries have many sea vessels, but so far there are none as large and strong as this one.

Several neighboring countries had merchant ships traveling with them, but they had never seen such a majestic ship.

The two of them felt awe for the country called Da Wei.

Shangguan Ziqi and his wife took them to the warehouse.

The neatly stacked pieces of silk cloth dazzled the two men's eyes.

Rajiv himself went forward and picked up a few horses to examine.

It feels soft, comfortable and smooth. They have never worn this kind of cloth in their lives.

The entire cabin is filled with various bright colors.

They say many people like bright colors the most.

They dress up very brightly for various celebrations and Buddhist activities.

Rajiv was already thinking about how popular these cloths would be.

Rajiv pulled Ajay over and the two began to discuss in front of Shangguan Ziqi and others.

Shangguan Ziqi took the two of them to visit the cargoes on the three ships.

When they returned to the main ship, their expressions changed from excitement at the beginning to some sadness.

They stood on the deck and saw that there were ten ships in total. They only looked at four of them, and the cargo was already enough, and the two of them could not eat so much cargo.

What to do?

But they are reluctant to give such a good thing to others.

They simply didn't have enough money.

Yu Yuanzheng noticed the change in their expressions and took the initiative to invite them to sit down in the small hall of the main ship.

Plan to communicate further.

After some gestures, I learned that they wanted to buy all their goods, but they didn't have that much cash.

Yu Yuanzheng smiled and gestured, and asked Shangguan Ziqi to draw some things on the paper, such as various jewelry, jade, etc.

These things can be cashed in if brought back to Wei.

They also wanted to stay in Shenduo Kingdom for a while to see if there were any good products there, which they planned to bring back to Wei.

You can barter directly.

Rajiv and Ajay finally smiled when they understood.

The two of them then left happily.

We agreed to start unloading tomorrow.

After Emperor Qiming knew this, he nodded repeatedly.

All the goods were sold at the first try, and the price was much higher than that in Wei.

If we could make two or three trips back and forth every year, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty.

Of course, the Great Wei has long since recovered from the war and disaster.

But ever since he heard Yu Yuanzheng talk about the prosperity of later generations, he had long been dissatisfied with the current situation of the Wei Dynasty.

He wanted to see the Wei Dynasty make great progress in his lifetime.

The next morning, Rajiv and Ajay arrived at the beach with more than 20 carriages.

Their carriages also contained some cargo.

Shangguan Ziqi saw from afar and commanded ten large ships to dock at the location designated by Rajiv.

Then start unloading.

Only one day passed and only one shipload of cargo was unloaded.

Shangguan Ziqi watched over it on the first day, but on the second day, he didn't want to watch it anymore and arranged for Feng Lei to be fully responsible for unloading.

Emperor Qiming rarely comes here, so of course he doesn't want to stay on the boat all the time.

The old prince ordered more than twenty guards.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng took the children with them and prepared to go ashore to appreciate the local customs and culture.

They came to the city they had visited the day before yesterday.

Through Rajiv, I now know that this city is also a relatively large port city, and it is also a place where merchants from all over the world often come and go. It is called Dogas.

Shenduo has a very long coastline. It can be said that the entire country is a peninsula, and the geographical location here is exactly in the middle of the peninsula.

It is also very close to their capital.

The three children came ashore and found everything they saw curious.

"Mother, why do most of the women here cover their faces?"

Shangguan Yajing saw along the way that many local women covered their faces with a veil.

But some young people don't need it.

Through the veil, you can see that they all have nose rings.

This is amazing too.

“This is a custom unique to Shenduo Country.

The way they dress indicates that they are married, just like how women in Wei tie their hair up after getting married.

It is also a symbol of chastity, to protect their privacy and reputation," Yu Yuanzheng explained.

Shangguan Yajing understood as soon as she heard it.

Just like the women of Wei Dynasty valued chastity more than their lives.

Rajiv sent a guide with them.

The guide took them to an inn near the city to settle down.

With a guide, many things will be easier.

It will take several days to unload the cargo on the ship, so they plan to stay here for a few days.

Buy some local specialties to take back.

Rajiv also needs to arrange for some goods to be shipped to them, which will also take time.

Their ivory products are unique.

Emperor Qiming saw an exquisitely carved handicraft and didn't know what it was made of at first. But when he found out, he became very interested.

Then he asked Shangguan Ziqi to take more back.

But as soon as they settled down, something very unpleasant happened.
