Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 341 The Port

& in the mist, countless ships can be seen coming from all directions. txt**-<>-

Yang Shi and Hu Yanqing had never seen so many ships in their life. Some ships were extremely huge, some were just ordinary boats, some looked brand new, and some were extremely dilapidated.The people on board were also dressed in various ways, some were Han people, some were Khitan people, some were actually Menggu people, and some were Semu people.Some of these go towards the port, and some come out of the port and go to various parts of the sea.

The rest of the navy's ships have stopped at the small islands along the way, and now only Ruan Xiaoqi's flagship is left at Incheon Port.When his ship came around the port, the merchants in the surrounding sea looked at the treasure ship in shock.

"What a big boat! There is such a big boat in the world!" On a boat that can only accommodate dozens of people, a businessman in brocade looked at the boat and exclaimed.

"This should be the latest treasure ship equipped by the navy! Such a treasure ship can accommodate more than a thousand soldiers, and if it is loaded with cargo, I don't know how much it can hold!" A plainly dressed businessman next to him said enviously.

"A treasure ship like this can't be overturned by any wind and waves. It can go anywhere from south to north." The sailor beside him laughed.

"I heard that after the ship was launched, it sailed east to Ryukyu, and finally returned, and then traveled south to Nanyang, thousands of miles away. The ship is strong, if only we had such a treasure ship to carry goods." The plainly dressed businessman said.

"Where is this boat made?" asked the brocaded merchant.

"It was manufactured by the military shipyard in Incheon!" said the simple businessman.

"Do you think we can get those shipyards to make such a treasure ship for us? We can pay a lot of money." The brocade merchant said.

"This...it's possible! Over the years, the number of ships in the navy has been extremely large. Some people say that there are almost 500 large ships. The total number of people in the entire Liangshan Navy is less than 10. What do we need so many large ships? Why don't we just do this? Go to the shipyard in Incheon and ask if they can make such a treasure ship for us." The simple businessman said excitedly.

The two originally wanted to leave Incheon Port with cargo, but after making such a decision, they immediately turned the bow and headed for the Incheon Wharf.

The merchants on the sea were discussing a lot, and many merchants had the idea of ​​building a ship in their hearts. Ruan Xiaoqi invited Yelu Yanxi, Yang Shi and others out, and said with a smile: "This is our Incheon City in Liangshan. Already, you are all welcome."

"Is this Incheon?" Yang Shi asked secretly.

He knew that Incheon was the first place Liangshan occupied, but Incheon was just a tiny place in Goryeo, and it didn't have much reputation at all.He didn't expect that after coming here, the shipping here would be so prosperous, almost like "thousands of ships are in court", which was completely different from what he had expected at first.

"This is the No. [-] port in Koryo today, and it should be considered the No. [-] port in the world today. Whether it's the ports on Kyushu Island in Japan, or the Beihai port in the far north, or Dengzhou and Quanzhou in the Song Dynasty, etc. The land is not as good as here! Speaking of ship throughput, here is more than ten times that of Quanzhou in the Great Song Dynasty." Ruan Xiaoqi laughed beside him as if seeing what Yang Shi was thinking.

These people had never heard of the term "ship throughput," but they probably understood what he meant.At this moment, apart from these people, the other great Confucian scholars who followed Yang Shi had also come out. Looking at the scene in front of them, these people felt as if they were in a dream, and they all stood there sluggishly, unable to speak a word.

"This is actually the number one port in the world! Liangshan, there really are tricks!" Yang Shi secretly said.

The big ship did not dock at a civilian dock, but at a nearby military dock.The current Incheon Port has a total of more than ten wharves, large and small. Not only is the sea trade prosperous here, but it is also one of the main bases of the Yangsan Navy.

After these people came out of the military pier, Yang Shi pointed to the civilian pier in the distance, and said that he would go there to have a look. Ruan Xiaoqi didn't refuse, and immediately led these people there.

The road they walked was paved with bluestone, neat and clean and wide.On the road in the distance, countless carriages can be seen driving, and the shouts of grooms can be heard everywhere.There are loads of goods on those carriages, all of which are destined for the civilian wharf.

"Are these many goods going to be shipped out to sea?" Yelu Yanxi was also surprised.

"That's right, there are more and more people doing business at sea these days. These horsemen are busy every day. Some people wake up before dawn to deliver goods, and can't stop until late at night. There are also some horsemen who specialize in Running goods late at night. In Incheon Port, even in the dark, this place is much busier than other places." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Everyone walked forward, and the carriage on the side road did not stop when they saw them. Some even nodded to them, some imitated the military salute, and some even turned a blind eye.Yelu Yanxi, Yang Shi and others were very surprised. Yang Shi took a closer look at Ruan Xiaoqi, and found that Ruan Xiaoqi was indeed wearing the uniform of an officer in the Liangshan Army. At that moment, Yang Shi said, "Why don't these grooms see you?" Stop? Is it the same in Liangshan when people see officials and don’t worship them?”

Ruan Xiaoqi was taken aback, and said with a smile: "In my Liangshan, the army and the people are equal, and the government and the people are equal. In my Liangshan, there is no such thing as the people bowing down to the officials."

Yang Shi frowned, and said: "It's unreasonable. If there are no rules of etiquette, the world will inevitably be in chaos. Don't you all bow down when you see your so-called great governor?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Of course there is no need! No matter who is in Liangshan, regardless of any people under the rule, they only need to pay a military salute when they see the Grand Governor. At the beginning, we still had people kneeling down to worship, but the Grand Governor has already sternly refused, let us No way."

"Does this Wu Dong still have a little self-knowledge? Knowing that he can't be the emperor, not the son of heaven, so he dare not let others bow down to him?" Yang Shi suddenly had such an idea in his heart, and for a moment he felt that this trip was more hopeful up!Since Wu Dong is not domineering enough to want to stand on his own, it will be easier for him to surrender.It's just that after he surrenders, he must be given enough treatment, otherwise this person may not agree.Before he came, Zhao Ji had already told him that he could make Wu Dong a vassal, and he believed that Wu Dong would be satisfied.

"Things can do a lot! It's a blessing that the world can avoid the military disaster." A smile slowly appeared on Yang Shi's face.

It wasn't until these people came to the civilian wharf that they really saw the prosperity of Incheon City.There are shops and merchants everywhere. The goods from Korea and Liaodong are shipped to various places from here, and the rest of the goods from various places are shipped here.There are also many types of shops, some selling porcelain, some selling tea, some selling knives and various handicrafts, some selling some agricultural tools, and some even selling books!Yang Shi was interested in books, so he went in and took a look. He thought they were all Confucian classics, but the proportion of Confucian books was extremely low, and most of them were teaching mathematics, agriculture, or blacksmithing. books, and some books related to Liangshan Thought.Yang Shi's brows went up again, and he secretly reprimanded Liang Shan for messing around.

When he came out from here, he continued to move forward with the crowd. On the street, he saw some soldiers dressed strangely. These soldiers were all wearing short clothes and long coats. Instead of holding knives and guns, they were holding short sticks. When they encounter quarrels, they go over.

"The soldiers in Liangshan are still here to maintain order?" Yang Shi said.

"They are the patrols here! Incheon Port is the largest port in the world. People come and go every day, and all kinds of goods are exchanged. It would be impossible without patrols." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Looking at the patrols standing on the street, there must be a lot of them." Yang Shi said.

"There are about 2000 people in the entire Incheon Port," Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"So many?" Yang Shi couldn't believe it, thinking that no matter how big the port is, a small port doesn't need so many patrols?

"2000 people are not enough! Incheon Port, Seoul behind, and several surrounding cities are all related to maritime trade. There are more than 5000 patrols in this area, and sometimes there are more than [-] patrols in other places. It was transferred here for use. The whole area is under Mr. Gongsun's jurisdiction, and I don't know if Mr. Gongsun is in Incheon City, but if he is, you can see him." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Who is Mr. Gongsun?" Yang Shi said.

"Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng was quite famous in Jianghu back then, but my people in Liangshan stayed away from Jianghu for a long time, and now there are not many people in Jianghu who know him. As for Mr., you are a great Confucian, so you must have never heard of him. .” Ruan Xiaoqi laughed.

"This place is so prosperous, could it be that Mr. Gongsun is governing it? So, this person has some skills." Yang Shi secretly said.

In fact, Incheon City was first governed by Wu Dong, Hua Rong and others personally. Later, after Koryo was conquered, Li Gang was mainly responsible for the economy, and Li Gang also governed here. Gongsun Sheng only started to govern here after returning last year. Now it includes Incheon and Seoul. , Beihai, Dongying and other places are all under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Sheng.

After walking on the pier for a while, Yang Shi's mood gradually became heavy. He thought that Liangshan won so many capable people, it was really not a good thing for the court!I hope to be able to convince Wu Dong, then so many capable people can also belong to the imperial court, and the Song court will be completely prosperous by then!

"Either it is a prosperous age, or it is war! I, Yang Shi, will not hesitate to do this, and I must convince Wu Dong!" Yang Shi tightly clenched his fist at this moment.To watch the first release without advertisement, please go to -<>-
