Wei State, Guanglin County, Yongzhou Port.

I saw that the sky was long and the sea was wide, the sails were like clouds, and the shore was bustling with people.

It is very lively here, but Yongzhou Port is actually a prosperous and closed seaport.

Because the Wei State implemented a national lock-down policy, all ships that could enter the port must be domestic ships and must have strict identification, registered ship numbers, and customs clearance routes.

Therefore, in a situation like Chai Yue Hao, if Xiao Man didn't have the connections and methods to get to Wei State, he would really have to sneak across.

After all, the coastline is so long. If you just want to find a place to land quietly, then avoid the port. Where can't you go ashore?

On the Chasing the Moon, Xiao Man left alone first.

A spare rescue boat was launched from the big ship. Xiao Man jumped onto the boat, looked back and waved his hand to Cheng Ling. With an internal force, the boat left the string and sailed away.

The Moon Chaser lined up behind a series of large ships and waited for about half an hour before it was finally their turn to dock and register.

At this time, Xiao Man did not come back. Bian Bosong was unavoidably worried and said: "Mr. Xiao has not returned yet. Boss, we won't be expelled, right?"

Being expelled is not bad, but what Bian Bosong is more afraid of is that he will not be detained as a spy of the enemy country.

Cheng Ling was not in a hurry, she said: "Master Bian, don't worry, we can trust Brother Xiao."

After saying this, the officers and soldiers stationed at Yongzhou Port led their teams onto the ship.

The leader looked to be in his thirties, with a short beard and a serious look on his face. When Bian Bosong saw the serious look on this man's face, his whole back tensed up.

His eyes kept glancing towards Yao Shouzhong who was standing at the helmsman's seat. The meaning was obvious, he was telling Yao Shouzhong to cheer up and be ready to escape at any time.

Hong Guangyi and others stood behind Cheng Ling, and they were also very nervous.

Unexpectedly, when this unsmiling leading official met Cheng Ling, he first cupped his hands and asked, "Is this the Moon Chaser?"

Cheng Ling replied: "Yes."

This person asked the secretary next to him to register: "The name of the ship is Zhuiyue, it has three levels of cabins, and the length of the ship is fifteen feet..."

After registering the characteristics of the Chasing Moon, he issued a dark tan-colored token with a silver edge to Cheng Ling and said, "Okay, this is your ship number. Keep it, but don't lose it again!"

"

Cheng Ling hurriedly put the token away and saw the word "Chasing the Moon" written on one side, and there was a boat-shaped relief below. The appearance of the relief was clearly the same as a smaller version of the "Chasing the Moon".

The back of the token states: Yongzhou Shipping Department System.

It had only been half an hour, and although Xiao Man hadn't arrived yet, such a custom-made token for the Moon Chaser had already been prepared!

The official who came to check did not hesitate. After giving the token, he took a document guide from the entourage behind him, and a thick handful of household registration paper, and said: "The Cheng family of Qingzhou, together with my family,

Eighty-nine households, right?"

This is indeed true!

Just treat everyone except the Cheng Ling family as part of the Cheng family. In other words, if you take over these things and settle in Wei, then from now on, except for the Cheng family, everyone else on the ship will

They will no longer be free citizens!

This time, Cheng Ling glanced at Bian Bosong.

Bian Bosong nodded repeatedly, wishing he could have rushed to Cheng Ling to express his loyalty.

What kind of free people do you want to be? Wouldn't it be better to follow Cheng Langjun? In such a strange country of Wei, it's easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!

Cheng Ling then took the road guide and household registration paper together and thanked the short-bearded official.

The short-bearded official remained expressionless and said in a very business-like manner: "If there are goods on the ship, go to the Municipal Shipping Department to pay tax. Every ten taxes are taxed. After disembarking, you can stay temporarily in a large car shop at the port. Do you understand?"

I understand, I understand, what is there to understand about this?

Cheng Ling responded politely, and the short-bearded official added: "Your ship can be suspended at the port, but it must pay the docking fee. The officers and soldiers at the port will guard the ship, but it is best for you to keep a few of your own."

Cheng Ling then asked how to charge the docking fee, and the short-bearded official told her: According to the size of the Chaiyue ship, the daily fee would be one thousand cash.

In other words, if the ship stops at the port and does nothing, then the docking fee alone will cost thirty taels of silver a month!

This is not a small amount, but this money cannot be saved, so Cheng Ling immediately paid the full month's docking fee.

Give it a month first, leave enough time, and Cheng Ling can arrange it calmly.

An hour later, everyone got off the boat. At this time, all the goods on the boat were also moved off.

In fact, there was not much goods. With so many people on board, the food originally stored in the ship was almost eaten. The red oranges bought in Haozhou were also used up.

As for what else is left on the ship, the leeks and bitter herbs in the vegetable room... well, no one will probably buy these when they are taken out.

There are only some drugs in the pharmacy. This one is the most valuable, but the total amount is not much.

When Cheng Ling and others moved these things down and went to the Shipping Department to pay taxes, the people from the Shipping Department counted the materials and couldn't bear to collect taxes.

However, Cheng Ling still paid the tax of ten taels of silver in the end.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is so easy to deal with. Xiao Man never came back, and he didn’t know where he went. But to handle such a thing, it would cost a lot of favors, and Cheng Ling didn’t want to give him any more favors on trivial matters.

He causes trouble.

After that, Cheng Ling took people to a large car shop not far from the port and asked for a place to stay temporarily.

Cheng Ling didn't know that after she took the people away, the short-bearded official who had brought people on board the ship immediately relaxed. The clerk beside him hurriedly came closer and said: "Master Chai, this Cheng family is really from Qingzhou.

Really? The accent doesn’t sound like it.”

The short-bearded official Chai Chuzheng immediately became serious again and said, "What does it look like? People who travel all over the world will inevitably change their accent. Keep your head down, go about your business, and talk less, do you understand?"

Damn it, he actually doesn’t think it’s like it, but can he say it?

The superiors were very secretive when assigning tasks. How could he, a lowly official below, hold back quickly?

Yongzhou Port, Ding's Car Shop.

Cheng Ling and others requested a total of five main rooms and three upper rooms. A total of thirty people got off the boat, and most of them still stayed on the boat.

By evening, everything that needed to be counted was counted, and all the tasks that needed to be assigned were assigned. Cheng Ling took Hong Guangyi, Wu Yun and Yang Lin out of the car shop and prepared to go to this strange city.

Take a good look.

Cheng Ling was actually a little worried about Xiao Man who had never returned, but everything in front of her was too strange. Even if she wanted to look for Xiao Man, she couldn't find him. Instead of worrying in vain, it would be better to get familiar with the surroundings first.

As the sun set, the port area was especially lively. Cheng Ling led the people toward the inner city while observing the surrounding markets.
