Chapter 922 Cotton on the Road ([-])
After Qi Ke glanced at it, she couldn't help but look away. The art aesthetics she had trained since childhood was hit hard.

In comparison, the small crew cuts, green camouflage uniforms and liberation rubber shoes on the five ocean ships are not only pleasing to the eye, but also very friendly.

The small boat carried two people leisurely into the estuary section. The military dock of the Bai family army was located on a sandbar in the estuary section.

The large plain here in the estuary is unobstructed, and the officers and soldiers stationed at the wharf naturally saw a large ship coming in. When they were surprised and vigilant, they found that the ships were parked in the waters at the mouth of the bay. There are still dark traces of gunfire, and the broken mast of Ocean One is the most eye-catching.

Since the Bai family army came here last year, it was not long ago that a pirate's fighting boat was seized. This is the first time that the officers and soldiers stationed here have seen a large ship sailing here, and it is a very high-end ship. The merchant fleet, how strong is the shipowner.

While the officers and soldiers were discussing loudly whether to send someone over to have a look, some sharp-eyed people first saw Jia Min, the head of Jiajia Village, who had already come in a boat.

"Hey, look, Lao Jia is here, did he bring someone with him?"

"It seems to be, what kind of clothes that person is wearing, like a flower, with such a big collar around his neck."

"Foreigner?"

"Huh? Foreigners? Will they speak our language?"

"Hehe... Where's your lord? Where's our lord?"

Ma Zhiwen, the chief executive of Liangshui Town, was pushed to the front by his soldiers.

Under the watchful eyes of such a large group of people, Village Chief Jia finally moored the boat to the edge of the pier, and the soldiers on the pier caught the boat cable he had thrown up and tied it to Zangke.

Village head Jia introduced the identity of the person brought with him to Baizong Ma Zhiwen, and this Zhawabo native who claimed to be an interpreter on the ship spoke a blunt Dong'an mansion accent, which seemed to be listening to the scriptures to the officers and soldiers. What teacher did he learn this tone of voice from, and village chief Jia had to repeat it from the side.

After some fidgeting and self-introduction, the officers and soldiers finally figured out that the five high-rise ships were actually merchant ships. After a month of sea voyage from Zwabo country, they unfortunately encountered pirates and managed to escape But I lost my way. I originally wanted to go to Dong'an Prefecture to sell goods, but now I don't know where I am. In addition, the ship is damaged and needs to be repaired. After seeing such a large estuary, I can't help but come in, hoping to meet Ask a local for some help.

Knowing that the ship was fully loaded with cargo, the officers and soldiers were suddenly moved. Liangshui Town will take advantage of the favorable position of the dry estuary to develop its plan in the future. How to develop, I hope that one day a big merchant ship will come and feel the enthusiasm of the local people. I didn't expect God to love people, so a big one came.

"What did you bring on board?" Ma Zhiwen asked casually, and in his guess, he thought it was the sky-high spices.

"Cotton." The interpreter pronounced these two words very accurately.

"Cotton? The cotton that makes clothes?" Ma Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked again in disbelief.

"Yes, cotton." The interpreter tugged at his collar with gorgeous pleats, "make clothes."

"How many?!" Unexpectedly, it would be such a shortage of goods, Ma Zhiwen subconsciously lowered his voice.

"Five ships."

The meaning is easy to understand. The five boats are all cotton. Ma Zhiwen looked up at the five building boats in the distance. He couldn't imagine how much cotton there was in total. Anyway, he had never heard of such a large amount in his life.

"How much cotton in total? How many catties?" Ma Zhiwen didn't know how to make gestures, "You know, the catties we locals use, do you know how heavy it is?"

"I know, you are a load of one hundred catties." There must be no misunderstanding about the weight and quantity, and the interpreter pronounced it accurately again, "Eighteen thousand five hundred packs, one pack of one hundred catties."

"...God!"

The news was too shocking. Even if Ma Zhiwen had experienced many battles, he really couldn't react at the moment. Fortunately, his accomplishments were not in vain. He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement forcibly, and rushed to Jiacun first. The chief winked, then swung his arm, and hugged the interpreter's shoulders tightly, and the three of them walked towards the barracks behind the pier together.

"Walk around, come from afar and have a chance to meet, we are brothers, let's go into the room and sit down and talk, talk!"
