The fleet arrived at Gaff Pier, which was very close to Shenshuize, where there were many people unloading the goods.
Li Hugo and Yun Xier were also among them. Li Hugo was quite touched as the workers moved the goods they had put on from the ship in boxes.
"The business has been really hard to do recently. Every time our Yan Dynasty turmeric oil needs to enter the borders of Shenshuize, it has to be processed layer by layer." Several businessmen next to it were complaining.
Li Hugo also pricked up his ears and listened to them.
It has been more than two days since we set out, and there is no delay on the road. The next stop is Shenshuize's Lizhai City.
"That's right, the food has not grown very well recently, but the people in Shenshuize are good. Not to mention the price lowered, the tariffs are still so large, it's just like wool and skinning."
"It's all old landlords. Did you forget how the people who have been in Shenshuize started?"
"Hmph, a bunch of pirates."
The merchants obviously dared to say in private that after all, there are soldiers from Shenshuize nearby, and the dock is also an important strategic location, so there are many guards.
Li Hugo walked on the deck of the wood pier. Because the wood was soaked in water and was disrepaired for so long, the sound of walking on it was creaking and very harsh.
"Brothers, do you think the tariffs have increased this year?" Li Hugo said with a smile.
Seeing Li Hugo's kind look, the merchants also confirmed that Li Hugo, like himself, were all foreign merchants. One of the fat fat men said, "This is your first time here? Shen Shuize's business is the Seven Kingdoms.
The hardest thing to do except Sky Island.”
He shrugged, obviously getting used to it all.
Li Hugo was puzzled: "The leadership has been replaced and the tariffs have been reorganized?"
"Not yet, but I heard that it was because the queen was sick, and the prince came to power, and the old domestic forces were liquidated, and many merchants' rules were also reorganized. It is obviously not a good thing for us merchants.
News.” He looked into the distance, at that moment the huge towering tree.
In fact, the tree is now the largest tree in the world and the oldest. The tree is the capital of Shenshuize.
A country built on trees is also very magical.
There are three cities under the tree, and Lizard City is one of them. I heard that if you want to go to the capital, you must pass the "sky bridge". Each of the three cities has a overpass.
Li Huguo chatted with the merchants for a few more words, but finally decided to set off for Lizard City like other merchants. In this way, they only need to pay the tariffs of one person, and everyone will be able to share the money they pay at that time.
.
In the carriage, Li Hugo sat with Yun Xier. Yun Xier put the silk curtains raised up, and she said, "It seems that Shen Shuize has really changed a lot."
"Have you ever climbed a tree?" Li Hugo pointed to the tree city in the distance.
Yun Xier shook her head: "The previous business was all irrelevant groceries, so the Sun Bang Chamber of Commerce in Lizha City left. This time they asked us to send things to Shucheng, which is the first time I
.”
"So that's the case." Li Hugo said.
Yun Xier leaned on Li Hugo's shoulder, and she held one of his arms: "Why do I feel so nervous all the way? Is something going on?"
"No, I'm by your side, I'm not afraid." Li Hugo put his arms around her shoulder.
Perhaps because he was too tired to travel, Yun Xier leaned on Li Hugo's shoulder and fell asleep.
When I arrived at Li Claw City, this Li Claw City completely overturned Li Hugo's three views. It turned out that there was a swamp under the sacred tree of the Divine Water Shui Shui, and this Li Claw City was a city built on the swamp.
The city is very large, about half of the Yinyue Port, but the surrounding houses are made up of ships. Every time the wind blows over, the house will shake gently.
The traffic is not Malu, but cableways made of wood and steel. The cableways are very wide, and it seems that there is no shortage of wood in Lizard City. Whether it is a cableway or a house, they are basically made of wood.
Li Hugo looked at the surrounding buildings and thought to himself that if a fire was set here, wouldn’t something big would happen?
Because I found that the wood here is all oily, that is, it is very oily and is very afraid of open flames.
The fat businessman told Li Hugo: "It is best not to use fire in this place. Once you see someone playing with fire, you will be sentenced to death immediately."
"What should I do if I cook?" Li Hugo asked.
"There is a kind of wood called Thunderwood here, look..." As he said that, the fat businessman put a cutting board-sized piece of Thunderwood on the ground, then put an iron piece on it, and the iron piece began to emit white smoke.
Beat an egg on top and it will be fryed quickly.
Apart from something I used in my previous life flashed in Li Hugo's mind...
"induction cooker".
However, the ability of the people of Shenshuize to use the wood containing lightning as an energy source is also capable of using it. They can not only heat food but also avoid open fire. It is really a killing two birds with one stone.
On the walls in the distance are notices written in the words of Shenshui.
Li Hugo couldn't understand, but Yun Xier explained to Li Hugo: "It says: Don't use fire, safety is the first priority."
"It's really promoted to the core." Li Hugo smiled.
Li Hugo handed the fat man some silver ounces, because the fat man paid the tariff just now, so Li Hugo also gave his own share.
"Brother, I'll see you back. We'll leave in three days. If you can hurry up, we'll leave together." said the fat man.
Li Hugo was shocked: "What, do you have to pay tariffs after leaving the city?"
"What about that?" The fat man expressed helplessness.
Li Hugo was also quite weird, but the opportunity was rare now. Li Hugo also planned to find Tianshangxing and Tianmeixing to see how the couple had been doing recently.
"If you have something to do, I'll go to the inn. The inn here is called a hotel. Look there... there is a golden shovel on your head, which is our hotel." Yun Xier said.
"Okay, you go and rest first, see you are sick all the way." Li Hugo said.
"Well, you come early, I'll applaud you for supper."
"I don't need supper. I plan to find Tianshangxing to have some wine." Li Hugo grinned.
Yun Xier covered her mouth and chuckled, but she still walked towards the hotel.
Li Yuguo, who is here, came to a noble area according to the address given by Tianshangxing at that time, where there are some luxurious villas.
Li Huguo thought to himself that as the Six Thorns of the Divine Water, living in such a good place is not shabby.
But at this time, the private guards guarding the gate seemed difficult to deal with. Li Hugo didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he went over and climbed over the wall and entered a small garden.
