[Hasn’t Miss Mann ever been on a boat at night?] Reinhard asked politely, seeing that she had been watching the situation on the sea.
Manmei turned her head and glanced at him, stretched out her hand to put her hair behind her ears, "I have been on boats before, but they were all sailing in the river. It was my first time to go to sea on a boat."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that whether in ancient China or ancient Europe, it was considered unlucky for a woman to board a ship. Women were generally not allowed to board a ship. Even if they were lucky enough to sneak aboard, they would be executed if discovered.
The lightest ones are also thrown away.
Thinking of this, I suddenly started to gasp.
I haven’t seen a woman since I got on the boat!
No wonder the sailors' eyes were shining when they looked at her. Thanks to Reinhard's constant suppression of them, no one was too obvious about Manmei.
Reinhard saw her sudden change of expression and asked strangely, "Is Miss Man feeling unwell?"
Manmei thought about it again and again, and felt that this matter was very serious and she had to make it clear, otherwise if something happened after boarding the ship, she would be thrown into the sea and die.
She considered her words and said tactfully, [In our country, women getting on board is considered to be bad for navigation. Is there such a saying in your country? 】
I couldn't figure out how to describe China's taboos at the moment, so I could only use another way of saying it.
Reinhard looked at her and laughed, "Don't worry, there are not so many taboos in our country. The reason why there are no women on the ship is because sailing is too hard, and the role of women on the ship is very limited."
After hearing this, Manmei felt a little relieved.
In fact, Reinhardt didn't say anything, but she also knew that both men and women would feel very depressed when they were at sea for a long time. It would be okay if there were only men on the ship, but if there were women, or there were more women than men, it would be easy to cause trouble, especially
When there is nothing but sea water, fighting is a trivial matter, but mutiny is a fatal matter.
From time to time, these merchant ships will have the opportunity to dock. Sailors who have been holding back for a long time can disembark and relax. This is also a very effective way to soothe and vent their emotions. It is an unspoken rule in the industry, even in modern times.
In this way, let alone ancient times.
I met them when I was in Laizhou, and I guess they didn't come ashore all for the purpose of buying and selling goods.
It's just that these people are different from Jiang Shang and the others. The brothel that Jiang Shang and the others go to is usually visited by elegant people, not only for the sex of the courtesan, but also for some taste. If you want to get married to the courtesan, it takes a lot of time.
It’s short, money will not be spent less, so don’t be embarrassed if you don’t have money or time.
The sailors who got off the ship were probably kicked out by the escorts from the brothel immediately.
Besides, these foreign devils probably can't appreciate the elegant beauty of ancient beauties. Maybe Reinhard can understand it a little bit, but he doesn't have that much time to spend here picking up girls.
A sailor disembarks from the ship to look for a woman just for sex. Everyone is about to leave. Who has the time to fall in love with you? It is best to settle the matter after paying the money. If there is a chance, I will take care of you next time.
Your business!
If this is the case, Manmei's current danger is not that great. After all, this place is very close to Laizhou, and those people will not be able to suppress their bestiality soon.
Just like the vegetables carried on this ship, there are various supplements after landing.
If nothing goes wrong, this fleet will be sailing along the coastline, which means there will be many opportunities to dock. If Reinhard controls the fleet well, there won't be any big trouble.
These thoughts were just spinning in a circle in her mind. Looking at the time, it turned out that it had not been that long since Reinhard spoke to her. A wonderful thought suddenly occurred to her, and she followed his words and said, [Long time sailing]
, it is really difficult for women to persevere. They can’t bear it physically, and they are not as strong as men mentally. I remember the couple who taught me said that they sailed at sea for almost four months, and the whole ship was exhausted.
They had mental problems, and some people even jumped directly from the boat.】
Reinhard did not doubt that he was there, and nodded in agreement and said, "It only took them four months, which is quite fast. We are merchant ships and cannot be that fast. It took longer than them. The sea is very hard and very tiring."
Lonely and crazy people appear from time to time, so we always find very skilled sailors.】
Manmei just said it casually, and Reinhardt took the bait. She said four months casually. If Reinhardt said it was too long, he would reply that the people on the ship probably took a detour to avoid pursuing soldiers. If she mentioned the time,
If it is too short, it can be said that the boat can run fast, and it can be pushed away no matter how you ask.
Reinhardt lamented that time is fast, that is to say, Reinhardt's country is at least four months' sailing time away from here.
If the voyage takes so long, there must be many supply points on the route, or at least many small islands to supply supplies, otherwise even the full ship of food will be eaten up.
What's more, the lost ships he mentioned were probably caused by natural disasters such as tsunamis or storms at sea. It was not the lack of food that caused problems in the fleet.
It was impossible to organize a naval expedition over such a long distance. In an era before the explosion of science and technology, merchants were the furthest places to go. Communication in many places relied on merchants. For example, the numbers invented by the Indians were used by the Arabs.
As people spread, these numbers were called Arabic numerals.
Judging from the city bureau's normal astronomical and geographical knowledge before Manmei came, there should be no larger land or island between China and Reinhardt's country. If there were, it wouldn't be so difficult to get there.
Come here.
[I am very interested in some small islands along the way. I often pester them to tell me the customs and customs of some small islands along the way. However, they did not stay long. The ship set off immediately after replenishing some supplies, which made me very happy.
It's a pity.] Manmei said this because she wanted to induce Reinhard to talk about things on the island.
The author of this book is generally lazy and mentally retarded. When designing the world structure, he did not put much of his own creativity into it.
Now Manmei couldn't even tell whether Reinhard was from Europe or the Americas, let alone what the customs were before she could continue talking to him.
Manmei wanted to get as much relevant information as possible and came to talk to Reinhard. She really needed Reinhard's favor for her so that she could survive safely on this ship.
