"We have taken great care of your feelings. As far as we know, silk from your country only sells for 500 yuan in Hangzhou. The most expensive is only two pieces per piece. We charge three pieces for one piece. Sometimes the price can be as high as

When you get to Si Guan, what else do you want?"

Faisal said, "We have taken good care of you."

"We have no other demands, we just want to kill you."

Faisal was stunned for a moment, but before he could recover, Li Bao said: "Arrest all these people!"

As soon as he gave the order, the surrounding Song troops took action.

Faisal and his men still wanted to resist, but the knife was already placed on their necks.

"Are you going to fight?"

Tang Zijian immediately said: "It's obvious."

"Do you know whose sea area this is?" Feisal was scared, but he still managed to stay calm. He didn't believe that these Song people really dared to cause trouble here.

After all, the Song Dynasty was seven or eight thousand miles away from here.

Moreover, before his merchant ship, he had seen that the number of Song army warships was definitely no more than forty. How dare a fleet with this number dare to go deep into battle here?

Are the people of Song Dynasty stupid?

Tang Zijian said: "Anyway, I'm not from your country of food."

Faisal asked: "So are you going to start a war now?"

Li Bao said: "No, I just want to lend you something."

"What?"

Li Bao patted Faisal's head and said, "I'll lend you my head."

Faisal's face immediately turned pale and his legs were weak with fear: "We have no grievances and no grudges...and I am an envoy. Didn't you Song people say that the two armies will not be killed without killing the envoy?"

"Rules can be changed." Li Bao said, "Come here and chop this man down."

Tang Zijian was also a little surprised. He reminded: "Manager Li, if we kill him, will it anger the big cannibal, increase the opponent's morale, and make our battle more difficult?"

Li Bao said in suffocated Hangzhou dialect: "Rather than boosting the opponent's morale, we should now force the opponent to fight immediately."

Tang Zijian was startled.

Li Bao said: "Now the Great Eater is counting on the Sanfo Qi army to go south to fight with us first. This is contrary to our original strategy. We need to destroy the Great Eater's warships in a short time."

"I understand!" Tang Zijian was suddenly enlightened, "General Manager Li is wise!"

Several Song soldiers immediately dragged Feisal aside.

Faisal was so frightened that he screamed: "You can't kill me! If you kill me, you will pay the price..."

There was a click, and Faisal, who had been talking arrogantly just now, was beheaded with a knife. His head rolled down on the deck, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The other big cannibals looked horrified when they saw it.

Li Bao let the others go and asked them to take Feisal's head back.

Late at night, Faisal's head was returned to Linga Island and placed in front of Istakhli.

Istaheli's face was livid, and he roared angrily like a lion: "The Song people dare to kill my people, don't they want to do business in this sea area in the future?"

No one dared to answer the call.

"Gather everyone immediately. After dawn, I will let all the people of Song Dynasty be buried in the sea!"

"yes!"

The sky in the east turned white, and Tang Zijian couldn't sleep. He woke up very early. When he ran to the deck, the waves in front of him were lapping at the shore.

There was a man standing on the deck, it was Prosin.

"Master Tang."

"You can't sleep either?"

"It's true that I can't sleep."

"what are you worried about?"

Pu Luoxin sighed and said: "Istaheli's strength cannot be underestimated. Manager Li killed his envoy again, so they will definitely come in anger."

"I want to ask you something."

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

"Is your big food country also very strong in the West?"

"That was all hundreds of years ago. Now, it has declined. The empire has long been torn apart and is no longer what it once was."

“Are there other great powers in the West?”

"Seljuk and Rome are both very strong. Rome is what you Song people call the Kingdom of Fu."

"Oh, I've read historical materials on this, and it turns out you call it Rome."

"There are also many countries in the Christian world." Pu Luoxin looked at the western sea for a long time, then looked back and looked at Tang Zijian and said, "If the Song Dynasty really wins this battle, the vast trade in the western sea will

They can all be from the Song Dynasty."

"How big will it be?" Tang Zijian asked, "Is it possible that the population of the West is larger than that of the Song Dynasty?"

"There may not be as many as the Song Dynasty, but this is not about comparing who has a larger population. Silk, ceramics and tea themselves are not something that ordinary people can buy at will. There are many nobles and rich people in the Western world. If they all

How much money can you make by buying silk and ceramics from the Song Dynasty?"

“What currency do Westerners use?”

"Gold and silver."

The two were discussing when Li Bao came up from below the deck.

There were many Song soldiers around, some of them were unfurling sails, some were preparing buckets, and some were carrying weapons.

On the mast of the main battleship, the flag bearer was waving the flag.

There were flag bearers on other warships waving flags.

The sun has not yet come out, and the sea water is flowing with a dark blue luster under the early morning sky.

There are many ships moored at the harbor of Linga Island. They are all large man-eating dhows, which look like huge sharks crawling on the sea, with powerful shapes.

Near the harbor, there are still several heads hanging.

Judging from the facial features of his head, he should be from the Song Dynasty.

They are Song people who do not abide by the rules of the sea in this area.

They tried to cross the stronghold alone to avoid these giant cannibals, but had no luck and were caught.

The big cannibals are gathering, and they are carrying weapons and boarding the warships one after another.

Of course, there are not so many cannibals, there are also some Indians, Persians and Srivijaya people.

"Mr. Li, the big cannibal is on board." Tang Zijian pointed at the port in front and said loudly.

"I saw."

At this time, some merchant ships are approaching here.

It can be seen from the hull that most of them are merchant ships of the Song Dynasty.

It was difficult for people in the Song Dynasty to sell their goods to the West, so most of them would come here to trade directly with the cannibals.

These Song merchant ships came here to trade directly with Istaheli, just like Liu Xiang said before.

"Official, after this trip, let's not run away. It is becoming less and less profitable to do business in the South China Sea." A middle-aged man followed a young man out of the cabin.

"Uncle Fu, our family has also traveled to the South China Sea in this era. How can we just say we won't do it and just do it?" The speaker was a young man.

"Official, it has been rumored that Srivijaya will increase the sea tax. Each piece of silk will have to be increased to one guan. This piece of silk only earns two guan. Half of the money must be given to Srivijaya. It is better to go back to the Song Dynasty to do it.

You can also go to Japan for this business. I heard that Japan and our country have done a lot of business in the past two years."

"Most of the people who do business with Japan are businessmen from Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Fujian. It may be difficult for us businessmen on Guangnan East Road to do business in Japan."

"That's better than traveling thousands of miles here. It takes two months to come and another two months to go back." Ah Fu complained.

"Stop talking, it's almost here. Let me know and prepare for delivery." Su Jing said.

"Oh, it would be great if the imperial court could send troops here!" Ah Fu sighed, "This way we won't be coerced..."
