Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

  Chapter 64 Going to Sea

   Early the next morning, 30 sailors and 10 first-rank sailors were prepared on each ship. Qu Mao asked Sunan's ship to be the leader, and the other ships followed.

Moreover, it takes five sea-going ships to go there. There is only one zero-level civilian wharf in the territory of Yi Village, and only three sea-going ships can berthed at a time. Therefore, Qu Mao can only wait for Sunan's ship to set off before proceeding to move the other three. The ship is released.

  In order to be able to take more things at that time, Qu Mao cleaned up his backpack, and even took out the silver treasure box that was pressed into the backpack and handed it to Su Yan for temporary storage.

Sunan took the three sea boats and set off first. After about 100 meters away from the civilian pier, Qu Maocai took out the other three sea boats in his backpack, boarded one of them, and left one Sea ships are placed on civilian docks for sailors to go fishing or train.

  After boarding the ship, Qu Mao, sailors and sailors also unmoored and set off. About 100 meters away from the pier, they immediately raised the mainsail and jibsail.

  The sea-going ship began to accelerate slowly after the sail caught the wind, and sailed northward following the track of the Sunan ship.

Qu Mao belonged to a dead house in another world. He had never seen the sea, nor had he ever been on a sea boat. It was the first time he went out to sea by boat in this world. Qu Mao seemed extremely excited. He did not stay in the cabin, but Standing on the deck, facing the direction of sailing, blowing the sea breeze, watching the beauty of the sea and sky.

   Fortunately, Qu Mao is not seasick, and looking at the sea view is not boring.

About 10 sailors are manipulating the mainsail, 5 sailors are manipulating the secondsail, and 2 sailors are watching and playing flags on the mast of the mainsail; the sailors are divided into two groups, one group is on duty on the deck, and the other group Then rest in the cabin with the sailors who are not working, and three other sailors are at the helm in the captain's cabin.

  The speed of the sea-going ship was not particularly fast at the beginning, but it was sailing towards Yancheng Port with the wind, so the speed quickly increased.

  There is no place for the fleet to rest along the way. Even with a downwind, it is estimated that it will take about a whole day to cross the 300-kilometer ocean and arrive at Yancheng Port where the aborigines are active.

  The ship sailed for about two hours and had already entered the deep sea area. Many sea beasts that were huge, even exceeding the length of the ship, were swimming around the ship. Fortunately, they did not attack the ship, which made Qu Mao worried and excited.

  After five or six hours of sea breeze, at around 5 o'clock in the evening, the seagoing ship from Sunan had already sent a semaphore, indicating that they had arrived at Yancheng Port and were negotiating with the coastal defense officers of Yancheng Port to land.

   This time when he arrived in Yancheng, Qu Mao took out 150 gold coins from his territorial account and gave them to Su Nan, and there were about 200 gold coins in his backpack, a total of 350 gold coins.

   Qu Mao believed that the gold coins purchased in Yancheng were definitely enough. The sea breeze was blowing along the way, and Qu Mao was feeling a little tired. Seeing the semaphore from Sunan, he asked the sailors to lower their sails and wait for the results of the negotiations with the ships ahead.

  As the sailors lowered the mainsail, the speed of the ship slowly slowed down.

  After Qu Mao's ship arrived at the Yancheng Port wharf, Sunan had already negotiated, and five sea-going ships were berthed at the Yancheng Port No. 3 wharf.

  Boarding the pier, Qu Mao discovered that the pier of Yancheng Port was built of stones, with three sides covered with anti-collision wood, and five sea-going ships could berth on one pier.

  Although the system did not show what grade this pier is, Qu Mao believes that it is definitely above grade zero, maybe even grade three or four, at least many times higher than the zero grade civilian dock on Yidao.

  On the pier, Sunan waited for Qu Mao to disembark, leaned into Qu Mao's ear, and whispered: "My lord, I spent a total of 10 gold coins in bribes. Tonight we will find an inn to stay in Yancheng Port.

  Going to Yancheng tomorrow, I will split up with my lord. I will gather skilled personnel and the princess guards, and you, my lord, will purchase the living tools, production tools and living supplies that the princess told you.

  Please pay attention to the adults. After ordering the goods, just pay a 10% deposit, and then notify the merchant to deliver the goods to the No. 3 wharf of Yancheng Port, and pay the balance after the goods are delivered for inspection and acceptance.

  It's getting late today, we can just take four sailors off the ship, and the others stay on board.

  The subordinates will write down the purchase list and prices of the items that the princess told you on paper tomorrow morning.

  The other 4 sailors, two of them followed the adults as personal guards, and the other two went with their subordinates to summon the princess guards and skilled people.

   It is estimated that there will be a tariff of about 2 gold when leaving, and another 10 gold coins will be spent on bribery, but this time we will handle the relationship with the coastal defense officers well, and it will be more convenient to come back next time.

   This time we are going to take away more than 800 people. The relationship between the coastal defense officers must be properly handled. The subordinate here is called Qu Sheng, adults must remember. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Qu Sheng, you have experience, you can make arrangements.

   It is rare to leave the deserted island of Yi Island and come to a populated city. I want to have a good time at night. "

  Su Nan smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Yancheng Port is just a port, and it's still 5 kilometers away from Yancheng. How can a port get better? Why don't you turn around after going to Yancheng tomorrow.

   It takes about two days for the convener of the subordinates, especially the technical staff with their families, and they also need to help the third-tier princess guards to disguise their identities.

  My lord, after you purchase the goods and place an order, it will probably take a day or two for the merchant to prepare the goods and deliver them to the No. 3 wharf of Yancheng Port. When we return to the voyage, we will not have a smooth wind, and it may take more time on the road. Please be prepared mentally.

   At that time, adults may need to accompany the subordinates into the city once, and they need to go to some hidden material storage points to get some supplies such as food and medicine. "

   Qu Mao nodded, seeing coastal defense soldiers from Yancheng Port patrolling nearby, he said, "Okay, Qu Sheng, don't worry about your work, please go ashore to rest tonight."

After finding an inn to settle down, Qu Mao couldn't help but wander around the streets of Yancheng Port. Yancheng Port, as a large civilian port in the former Liusu Principality, is actually quite prosperous, and the place less than 4 square kilometers at least lives Of the 50,000 floating population, only about 3,000 of them are Yancheng residents, serving traders in Yancheng Port, and there are only 500 third-tier coastal defense soldiers in the coastal defense garrison.

The rest of the population is composed of passing merchants. Yancheng Port is mainly composed of inns, restaurants and restaurants, so Qu Mao returned to the inn room to rest in less than half an hour. Indeed, as Sunan said, there is nothing to transfer in a port. Yes, after all, Qu Mao in another world is a dead house, and there are no games to play here, so he finally got the idea of ​​going out at night, but he was disappointed.

   Lying on the bed in the inn, Qu Mao comforted himself: "Let's wait and see in Yancheng tomorrow, it shouldn't be too bad."

   New week, please support the book friends! Favorites, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards are all available.
