Restart your life and dominate the global economy

Appreciate the vastness of water and mist.

The big ship rides the wind and waves and sails south.

At the highest point of the bow, Chen Hao stared ahead.

This Jianshui, also known as Jianhu Lake, spans four to five hundred miles from east to west, north to south, and is as vast as the ocean.

Hao Dacheng, who was standing behind Chen Hao, smiled and said: "The northwest wind blows after the winter begins. We ride the wind south very quickly, and after entering the river, we go with the current."

"How many days can we get to Yuzhou at the earliest?" Chen Hao asked Hao Dacheng casually.

"Ten days."

Hao Dacheng answered simply and confidently because he took many boats to Yuzhou, which is five thousand miles away from Shengjing.

"Five hundred miles a day..."

Chen Hao nodded slowly. As long as the ship does not dock at the shore, a large sailboat can indeed go so fast with the wind and the current.

Although this is only half the speed of riding a horse, riding a boat is far more comfortable than riding a horse without getting seasick.

What's more, Daxia's merchant gangs and caravans will definitely use waterways if they can. Not only will they save worry, effort, and money, but they can also transport more goods.

Since they were disguised as a caravan, they had to do a good job so that they could check out the three ships carrying tax money that sank in the river.

Hao Dacheng said: "At sunset, we should be able to cross Jianshui and enter the river."

Chen Hao said nothing and looked around at the water in front of him.

There are many merchant ships coming and going, as well as some cruise ships.

"That ship..."

Chen Haoyuan pointed to a tall ship in the distance.

The boat is like a floating pavilion with many red lanterns hanging on it.

"My... young master... that boat is called the Red Boat. It was specially built by Fan Lou for dignitaries to have fun in Jianshui."

Hao Dacheng explained Chen Hao's doubts, and he was very happy at the end.

"Red ship..."

Chen Hao thought of a building in another time and space, the Red Building.

At the top of the tallest mast of the ship, Ah Yue, disguised as a man, stood proudly, with her hands behind her back and her clothes fluttering.

She did not look into the distance, but looked down at Chen Hao from a high position.

Chen Hao sensed that someone was peering at him from a high place. He turned around and looked up at Ah Yue.

Ah Yue looked elsewhere.

Hao Dacheng had long seen that Ah Yue was arrogant and dissatisfied with the young talker in the West Branch of the Supervision Department in front of him.

In fact, he had similar thoughts, but he didn't have the courage to reveal it. First of all, this young boss was a descendant of the White House.

Second, the young boss dealt with four dandies when he first arrived, and Marquis Wuwei, Marquis Wulie, and General Fuguo were punished accordingly.

How dare he be disrespectful when he is so fierce.

"Master, there are two clippers approaching us from the left!" A man disguised as a caravan guard shouted to Chen Hao on the deck below.

Chen Hao, Hao Dacheng and Ah Yue, who was standing at the top of the mast, all looked to the left. There were indeed two clippers approaching.

"It's the Caobang."

Hao Dacheng recognized the pennants planted by the two ships.

"Caogang, are you stopping the merchant ships?" Chen Hao frowned slightly and asked Hao Dacheng.

"Except for merchant ships with backgrounds, all other merchant ships will pay protection fees to Caogang to ensure safety. The bigger the ship, the more protection fees they pay."

Hao Dacheng answered Chen Hao's doubts.

"The Caobang is not a government. It collects money at will and the government doesn't care?" Chen Hao said at the end and turned to stare at Hao Dacheng.

Hao Dacheng smiled bitterly and said: "The Cao Gang is behind the Cao Gang, so the government naturally turns a blind eye. Moreover, the Cao Gang is responsible for water transportation and makes a great contribution to the court. It collects some protection fees to maintain the livelihood of millions of Cao workers. It is very important to the court." It’s excusable.”

"excusable……"

Chen Hao smiled.

No matter how magical this world is, the social system is still backward, equivalent to the ancient feudal dynasty of China.

Such are the times.

It would be useless for him to say more.

At this time, two small clippers of seven or eight meters in length were less than thirty meters away from the merchant ship. More than ten men in black on the clippers jumped up at the same time.

If ordinary people were watching, they would feel that these men in black disappeared out of thin air.

The next second, more than ten men in black landed on various parts of the merchant ship with a menacing momentum. Two of them landed on the top of the other two masts with sails hanging on them.

The two men stared at Ah Yue coldly.

Ah Yue looked disdainful.

"Who is in charge on the ship?"

The leading man faced Chen Hao and Hao Dacheng, obviously asking the two of them.

"This gentleman, I am in charge, this is our young master's house." Hao Dacheng responded to the other party with a smile on his face.

The fifth-rank captain of the Supervision Department disguises himself as a minor figure, and he is very lifelike.

Good acting.

Chen Hao secretly praised Hao Dacheng.

"Young Master..." The leading man looked at Chen Hao coldly.

Fan Sheng, Zhou Tong and more than a dozen people came out of the cabin.

They stared at the men in black scattered everywhere.

"First time running a boat?" the leading man asked Chen Hao with a cold face.

"This is our young master's first time sailing." Hao Dacheng quickly answered for Chen Hao.

"I mean, this is not your first time running a boat, but why don't you plant the flag of our Cao Gang?" the man asked Hao Dacheng with a glare.

Caogang will issue special flags to ships that have paid protection fees, with the merchant ship's information, departure time, and destination written on the flag.

If this flag is planted on the ship, it will not be intercepted by the Cao Gang.

"We have the flag, but we forgot to put it up." Before Hao Dacheng finished speaking, a junior high school student disguised as a caravan guard brought the flag over.

The man in black was stunned for a moment when he saw the black pennant.

The flags given to merchant ships by Caobang are divided into four types: green, purple, brown, and black. The black flag has the highest level and can be used permanently.

This kind of black flag vessel is rarely sent out, but any merchant ship with a black flag has an unusual background.

The man in black looked at the black flag carefully to make sure it was not a replica.

"Although there is a black flag, we still have to check whether your goods contain contraband." The man in charge said this, asking for money in disguise.

In his opinion, even if the caravan on board had some background, they would probably not fall out with him over a small amount of money.

"It is the power of the government to inspect the cargo on the ship. When did your Cao Gang have such power?!"

Ah Yue, standing at the top of the mast, coldly questioned the man in black.

"This……"

The man in black was speechless, and feeling A Yue's strong aura, he thought that these people on the boat were really not simple.

"My brother is outspoken. Don't mind me." Hao Dacheng smiled apologetically and put a piece of silver into the man's hand.

"He's still the director in charge." The man in black collected the money and shouted, "Let's go!"

A dozen men in black jumped up, and then they appeared on the two speedboats with the Cao Gang's flags dozens of meters away.

The two clippers turned around and left.

Ah Yue glanced at Hao Dacheng coldly.

The team of the Supervision Department went to Yuzhou to handle the case, and they actually curry favor with the gangsters from the Cao Gang, which is the biggest scandal in the world!

On the speed boat going away.

The man in black at the head frowned and looked at the less than five taels of silver in his hand, with a look of disgust on his face and said: "What the hell, this is just sending away beggars."

"If someone has a black flag, of course they won't take us seriously."

"Those people on the ship should all be warriors, and I can't sense their depth. It's really unusual for so many masters to escort the ship, and it also shows that the goods on the ship are extremely valuable."

The leading man listened to the two men and narrowed his eyes in thought.
