Chapter 972 Mysterious Valley, Ceylon Mountain Country
When the elder heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes: "That's great! This will be an unprecedented blessing for my tribe."
At this time, another tribal warrior also joined the discussion, and his words were somewhat heroic: "Messenger of the Ming Dynasty, although our tribe makes a living by fishing and hunting, in recent years, marine resources have been increasingly depleted, and livelihood has become more and more difficult. I don't know.
Does the Ming Dynasty have any good ideas to help us improve our lives?"
Zhu Han nodded slightly and turned to the agricultural experts who were accompanying him. The experts immediately replied: "What the warrior said is absolutely true. The protection and development of marine resources is indeed a top priority. Our Ming Dynasty has rich accumulation of agricultural technology and is willing to send experts
Come and guide your tribe in farmland reclamation and irrigation, and at the same time promote suitable crop cultivation, in order to increase food production and improve people's livelihood."
After hearing this, the warrior's face was filled with joy: "Messenger of the Ming Dynasty, our tribe will remember your generous help. If there is a need in the future, our tribe will go all out to repay your great kindness."
Zhu Han waved his hands and spoke in a gentle tone: "I'm serious, I'm serious. The Ming Dynasty and all ethnic groups are brothers, and supporting each other is the right thing to do. I hope we can cooperate in more fields in the future and move towards prosperity together."
During the discussion, the night was getting darker, but the atmosphere around the campfire became increasingly warm. Zhu Han and the tribesmen shared each other's stories and culture, and the distance between them unknowingly narrowed.
"Messenger of the Ming Dynasty," the tribe's messenger suddenly changed the topic, with a bit of mystery in his tone, "There are many ancient legends circulated in my tribe, among which there is a mysterious place, which is said to contain treasures and wisdom left by our ancestors.
I wonder if the Ming envoy would be interested in finding out?"
When Zhu Han heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Is there such a thing? I would like to hear the details."
The messenger smiled and continued: "It is a valley shrouded in thick fog. It is said that only under certain time and weather conditions, one can get a glimpse of its true appearance. There are countless rare treasures hidden in the valley, and there are also treasures left by the ancestors of my tribe.
The crystallization of wisdom. However, the valley is full of dangers, and few people have ever been able to come back alive."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons of this.
"Messenger," Zhu Han finally said, "This matter is of great importance and requires long-term consideration. However, I am indeed full of curiosity about this mysterious valley. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely explore it."
When the envoy heard the words, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty is really brave and wise. If that day comes, my tribe will definitely help with all its strength."
It was late at night and the bonfire was gradually extinguished, but the fire of friendship between Zhu Han and the tribesmen was burning brighter and brighter.
The next morning, as the first ray of sunshine gently filled the deck, the Ming fleet was about to set off again.
"Mr. Wang, are everything ready?" Zhu Han turned around and asked Mr. Wang beside him.
Mr. Wang bowed and replied: "Replying to your Majesty, all ships have been inspected, supplies are sufficient, personnel are in place, and they are ready to sail at any time."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, turned to the tribe's envoy, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your tribe's warm hospitality and selfless help. I will definitely remember this friendship in my heart. May the friendship between our two countries (tribes) last forever.
, and seek common development.”
The tribal envoy responded with deep respect: "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty made a strong statement. It is our tribe's luck to have such a deep friendship with the Ming Dynasty. I wish the envoy of the Ming Dynasty a smooth sailing and a safe journey home."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, then turned to face the crew and announced loudly: "All crew members listen to the order and set sail immediately. The target is unknown waters!"
Following Zhu Han's order, the fleet slowly sailed away from the shore and headed towards the vast sea. On the deck, the crew members were busy and orderly, adjusting sails and checking equipment to ensure smooth sailing.
During the voyage, Zhu Han and Mr. Wang stood side by side on the bow of the ship and continued to discuss the next voyage plan.
"Mr. Wang, do you have any suggestions for the next route?" Zhu Han asked.
Mr. Wang thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we can continue to move along the established route, and at the same time strengthen meteorological observations to ensure timely response to possible severe weather. In addition, we should also pay attention to the possible encounters along the way.
other islands or countries to seek more exchange and cooperation opportunities.”
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "What you said is absolutely true. Our trip is not only to explore the unknown, but also to enhance the connection between Ming Dynasty and the outside world and spread the essence of our Chinese culture."
As the fleet continued to move forward, the scenery on the sea gradually became more colorful. One morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the sea level, Zhu Han stood on the deck, holding a telescope.
He carefully observed the distant skyline. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by an unusual flash of green.
"Mr. Wang, look over there." Zhu Han pointed into the distance, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Is that green land the legendary Ceylon Mountain Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang quickly took the telescope, observed it carefully, and then nodded and confirmed: "What the prince said is absolutely true. It really looks like the style of Ceylon Mountain Country. According to ancient records, this place has beautiful natural scenery and rich products.
It is a rare and good place with a gathering of people and culture.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly, turned around and ordered to General Li: "General Li, adjust your course immediately and head towards that land at full speed. We want to experience the beauty of the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom in person."
General Li took the order and quickly conveyed Zhu Han's order. The fleet immediately adjusted its course and sailed at full speed towards the green-covered land. As the distance got closer, the beautiful scenery of the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
.
"Look at that beach, it's so delicate and white, as if it's covered with fine silver." Zhu Han pointed to a wide beach in the distance and admired, "And the waterfall in the distance is like a thread, shining in the sun.
The silver light is truly spectacular.”
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "That's true, Your Majesty. This mountainous country of Ceylon not only has beautiful natural scenery, but it is said that there are also dense tropical rain forests and magnificent mountains waiting for us to explore. For example, Mount Nael and Mount Adam are both mountaineering enthusiasts.
A holy place in my heart.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Zhu Han became even more excited. He imagined himself climbing those majestic peaks and overlooking the magnificent scenery of the entire Ceylon Mountain Country, and couldn't help feeling excited.
Soon, the fleet slowly sailed into a natural harbor. Zhu Han led a group of people to land ashore, preparing to explore this mysterious country in depth. As soon as they set foot on the land of Ceylon Mountain Country, they were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"The air here is so fresh, as if it can wash away all the troubles of the world." Zhu Han took a deep breath and sighed.
Mr. Wang was also full of praise: "Yes, Your Majesty. It is really rare that the natural environment here is so well protected. If our Ming Dynasty can learn from it, we will definitely make people's lives more livable."
Under the leadership of a local guide, Zhu Han and his party began an in-depth exploration of the mountainous country of Ceylon. They first came to the wide beach. The golden sun shone on the delicate beach, and the water was crystal clear.
Occasionally, a few seagulls flew across the sea, leaving behind a string of cheerful chirps.
"The beach here is really beautiful." Zhu Han took off his shoes and socks and stepped into the cold sea water. "If we can build several resorts here, we will definitely attract countless tourists."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. However, we still need to consider how to protect the natural environment here and avoid damage caused by over-development."
Afterwards, the group went to the nearby waterfalls. They saw water columns pouring down from high places, splashing countless water splashes, forming patches of misty water mist. Zhu Han stood in front of the waterfall, feeling the light mist
The coolness on your face fills your heart with tranquility and peace.
"The waterfalls here are really spectacular." Zhu Han praised, "If it can be developed into a tourist attraction, more people will be able to appreciate the miraculous craftsmanship of nature."
Mr. Wang reminded again: "Your Majesty, while developing tourism, we really need to pay attention to environmental protection. Only by keeping the natural scenery here from being damaged can future generations be able to appreciate this beauty."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement and secretly decided to fully consider environmental protection factors in future planning.
Next, the group went deep into the tropical rainforest to explore. Dense trees blocked the sky, and a variety of exotic plants and animals were dizzying. Zhu Han, holding a machete, carefully opened a path and led everyone forward.
"The biodiversity here is really rich." Mr. Wang observed the surrounding animals and plants as he walked. "If we can introduce some rare species to Daming, we will definitely enrich our biodiversity."
When Zhu Han heard this, he thought: "It is indeed a good idea. We can discuss with Ceylon Mountain Country to jointly carry out biodiversity conservation projects, which will not only protect the natural environment here, but also promote friendly exchanges between the two countries."
As the exploration progressed, the group climbed up to the magnificent mountains such as Mount Eller and Mount Adam. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at the surroundings, they saw continuous mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if they were in a fairyland.
"The scenery here is really refreshing." Zhu Han looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and was filled with emotion. "This trip not only allowed us to appreciate the natural scenery of Ceylon Mountain Country, but also made us deeply understand the importance of protecting the natural environment."
Zhu Han stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for nature. He turned to Mr. Wang and said: "Mr. Wang, Ceylon Mountain Country is indeed well-deserved. Not only does it have beautiful natural scenery
, and is rich in such precious gems and pearls.”
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with excitement: "That's true, Your Majesty. Especially the sapphires, rubies and cat's eyes here, each one is like a work of art carefully carved by nature, which is breathtaking."
At this time, General Li also joined the discussion, with a bit of heroism in his voice: "Your Majesty, if we can bring these gems back to the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely be praised by the emperor and add a lot of money to the Ming Dynasty's treasury.
A small fortune.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly, but there was a flash of deep thought in his eyes: "General Li's words are reasonable, but we must act with caution. The country of Ceylon is famous for its gems, and there must be a complex trade network and interest entanglements behind it. When we purchase gems,
Not only must we ensure the legality of the transaction, but we must also respect local customs and legal regulations.”
Mr. Wang nodded and added: "What the prince said is absolutely true. We represent the Ming Dynasty on this trip. We must be cautious in every move to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the relationship between the two countries."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, and then told the accompanying trade officials: "You should contact the local gem merchants immediately to understand the market conditions and trading rules of gems. At the same time, we must ensure that our trading behavior complies with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom.
.”
The trade officer took the order and left, while Zhu Han continued to discuss the next itinerary with Mr. Wang and General Li.
Soon, trade officials came to see Zhu Han with a gem merchant from the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom. The gem merchant was a middle-aged man with a kind face and shrewdness and enthusiasm in his eyes. He saluted Zhu Han and said in fluent Chinese:
"Dear Ming Dynasty envoy, I am a local gem merchant. I learned that you came from afar, so I came here to see you. If you are interested in gems, I would like to introduce it to you in detail."
Zhu Han smiled and said in return: "Thank you for your kindness. The Ceylon Mountain Country is famous for its gems, and I really intend to purchase gems during this trip. I wonder if you can recommend some high-quality gems to me?"
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the gem merchant's eyes. He then took out several bright gems from the package he carried and showed them to Zhu Han and others one by one. He first took out a dark blue sapphire and explained: "This This sapphire is produced in the most famous mining area in my country. It has pure color and extremely high clarity. It is a rare and top quality."
Zhu Han took the sapphire, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admired: "It is indeed a good gemstone. The color is deep and pure, as bright as the stars in the night sky."
The gem dealer successively displayed rubies, cat's eyes and other gemstones, each of which impressed Zhu Han and others. During the display, the gem dealer also introduced the characteristics, origin and market conditions of each gemstone in detail, which impressed Zhu Han and others.
People have a deeper understanding of the gemstone industry in the Ceylon Mountain Country.
After the display, Zhu Han expressed his gratitude to the gem merchant and asked about the specific matters of the transaction. The gem merchant replied with a smile: "As for the transaction, we can completely follow the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and Mount Ceylon. If you are interested,
For procurement, we can sign a formal sales contract to ensure that the rights and interests of both parties are protected."
Zhu Han nodded to express his satisfaction, and then discussed with Mr. Wang, General Li and others and decided to purchase a batch of gems to bring back to the Ming Dynasty. Before signing the sales contract, they once again emphasized the legality of the transaction and the importance of respecting local customs.
When the gem merchant saw that the Ming envoy was so cautious and respected the local culture, he couldn't help but have more respect for the Ming envoy. He solemnly promised to fully cooperate with the Ming envoy's procurement work and ensure that the transaction process goes smoothly.
