Chapter 341 Port

&In the mist, you can see countless ships coming from all directions. txt**--

Yang Shi and Hu Yanqing had never seen so many ships in their lives. Some were extremely huge, some were just ordinary boats, some looked brand new, and some were extremely worn. The people on the ships were also dressed in various ways.

There are all kinds of people, some are dressed as Han people, some are Khitan people, some are actually Meng people, and some are Semu people. Some of these are heading towards the port, and some are coming out of the port towards the sea.

.

The rest of the navy's ships had stopped at the small islands along the way, and now only Ruan Xiaoqi's flagship arrived at Incheon Port. When his ship arrived around the port, the merchants around the sea looked at it with shocked faces.

Take this treasure ship.

"What a big ship! There are such big ships in the world!" On a ship that could only accommodate a few dozen people, a businessman in brocade looked at the ship and exclaimed.

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

"A treasure ship like this cannot be capsized by any storm. It can go anywhere from south to north." The sailor next to him laughed.

"I heard that after the ship was launched, it sailed east to Ryukyu, finally returned, and then sailed thousands of miles south to Nanyang. It almost never stopped in the middle, and it didn't dock to receive any supplies along the way. This shows that

The ship is so powerful, it would be great if we had a treasure ship like this to carry goods." said the plainly dressed businessman.

"Where was this ship made?" asked the brocade-clad businessman.

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

"Do you think we can let those shipyards build such treasure ships for us? We can pay a lot of money." said the brocade merchant.

"This... is possible! The number of ships in the navy has been extremely large over the years. Some people say that there are almost 500 large ships. The total number of Liangshan Navy is less than 100,000. What do we need with so many large ships? How about we do this?

Go to the shipyard in Incheon and ask if they can build a treasure ship like this for us," the simple businessman said excitedly.

The two men originally wanted to leave the Incheon Port with the cargo, but after making such a decision, they immediately turned the ship around and headed towards the Incheon Terminal.

The merchants on the sea were talking a lot, and many merchants had the idea of ​​building ships. Ruan Xiaoqi invited Yelu Yanxi, Yang Shi and others out, and said with a smile: "This is our Incheon City in Liangshan.

Yes, you are welcome to come."

"Is this Incheon?" Yang Shi asked secretly.

He knew that the first place Liangshan occupied was Incheon, but Incheon was just a small place in Goryeo and did not have much fame at all. He did not expect that after arriving here, the shipping here would be so prosperous, with almost "ten thousand ships heading to the clan".

, this was completely different from the scene he had initially expected.

"This is the first port in Goryeo today, and it should also be regarded as the first port in the world today. Whether it is the ports on Kyushu Island in Japan, or the Beihai port in the far north, or Dengzhou, Quanzhou in the Song Dynasty, etc.

Nothing is as good as here! Speaking of ship throughput, this place is more than ten times that of Quanzhou in the Song Dynasty." Ruan Xiaoqi seemed to have seen what Yang Shi was thinking, and smiled beside him.

These people have never heard of the term "ship throughput", but they roughly understand what he means. In addition to these people, other great scholars who followed Yang Shi have also come out. Looking at the scene in front of them, these people feel

I felt like I was in a dream, standing there in a daze, unable to say a word.

"This is actually the number one port in the world! Liangshan really has some tricks!" Yang Shi said secretly.

This large ship did not dock at a civilian dock, but at a military dock nearby. Today, Incheon Port has more than ten docks, large and small. Not only is maritime trade prosperous here, it is also one of the main bases of the Yangsan Navy.

After these people came out of the military dock, Yang Shi pointed to the civilian dock in the distance and said that he wanted to have a look there. Ruan Xiaoqi did not refuse and immediately led these people towards that direction.

The road they were walking on was paved with bluestones, neat, clean and wide. Countless carriages could be seen driving on the road in the distance, and the shouts of horsemen were everywhere. There were loads of goods on those carriages.

All are destined for civilian terminals.

"Are all these goods going to be shipped out to sea?" Yelu Yanxi also asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are more and more people doing business at sea nowadays. These horsemen driving carts are busy every day. Some people wake up before dawn to transport goods, and they can't stop until late at night. There are also some horsemen who specialize in

Running goods late at night. In Incheon Port, even at night, it is much busier than other places." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Everyone walked forward, and the carriages on the road next to them did not stop when they saw them. Some people even nodded to them, some imitated the military salute, and some even turned a blind eye. Yelu Yanxi, Yang Shi and others were all surprised. Yang Shi

After looking at Ruan Xiaoqi carefully, he 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 stop when they see you? Is this the case in Liangshan when people see officials but don't bow to them?"

?”

Ruan Xiaoqi was stunned and said with a smile: "In Liangshan, the military and the civilians are equal, and the officials and the people are equal. In Liangshan, there is no such thing as the people bowing before the officials."

Yang Shi frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense. If there are no etiquette and rules, the world will be in chaos. Don't you even bow down when you see your so-called great governor?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Of course not! No matter who in Liangshan, no matter any of the people under his rule, they only need to give a military salute when they see the Governor. At the beginning, some of us knelt down, but the Governor has sternly refused, let us

It must not be like this.”

"Does this Wudong still have any self-awareness? He knows that he can't be the emperor and is not the emperor, so he doesn't dare to let others kneel to him?" Yang Shi suddenly had such an idea in his heart, and for a moment he felt that this trip was more promising.

Already! Since Wu Dong hasn’t arrived yet

If he wants to be self-reliant, it will be easier for him to surrender. However, after he surrenders, he must be given adequate treatment, otherwise this person will not agree. Before he came, Zhao Ji had already told him that it was okay

He believed that Wu Dong would be satisfied with the title of vassal king.

"There's a lot to be done! It's a blessing that the world can avoid war disasters." A smile slowly appeared on Yang Shi's face.

When these people arrived at the civilian dock, they truly saw the prosperity of Incheon City. There were shops and merchants everywhere. Goods from Korea and Liaodong were shipped from here to other places, and the rest of the goods from various places were shipped here. Shops

There are also many types of shops, some sell porcelain, some sell tea, some shops sell knives, various handicrafts, and some shops

They were selling some farm tools, and some shops were actually selling books! Yang Shi was interested in books, so he went in and took a look. He thought they were all Confucian classics, but he didn't know that the proportion of Confucian books was very low.

Some of them were books teaching arithmetic, agriculture, or blacksmithing, and some were related to Liangshan's thoughts. Yang Shi's brows started to furrow again, and he secretly scolded Liangshan for his nonsense.

When he came out from here and continued to move forward with everyone, he saw some soldiers dressed strangely on the street. These soldiers were all wearing short clothes and long kus. They did not hold swords and guns in their hands but short sticks. These soldiers stood on the excuse that once

When there was a quarrel, they would go there.

"Liangshan soldiers still want to maintain order here?" 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 streets filled with police officers, there must be a lot of them," Yang Shi said.

"There are about 2,000 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 was, a small port wouldn't need so many patrols?

"Two thousand people are not enough! Incheon Port, Seoul behind it, and several surrounding cities are all related to maritime trade. There are more than 5,000 patrols in this area, and sometimes there are even more patrols in other places.

It's been transferred here for use. The entire area is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Gongsun. I don't know if Mr. Gongsun is in Incheon City. If he is, you can meet him." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

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

"Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng was quite famous in the world back then, but I, the people from Liangshan, have been away from the world for a long time, and not many people in the world know him now. As for sir, you are a great scholar, so you must have never heard of him.

." Ruan Xiaoqi smiled.

"This place is so prosperous. Is it possible that this Mr. Gongsun manages it? In this case, this man has some abilities." Yang Shi said secretly.

In fact, Incheon City was governed personally by Wu Dong, Hua Rong and others at the beginning. Later, after the defeat of Goryeo, Li Gang was mainly responsible for the economy and also governed the city. Gongsun Sheng only started to govern the city after Gongsun Sheng came back last year. Now it includes Incheon and Seoul.

, Beihai, Japan and other places are all under Gongsun Sheng's jurisdiction.

After walking on the dock, Yang Shi's mood gradually became heavy. He thought that Liangshan had attracted so many capable people, which was really not a good thing for the court! I hope I can convince Wu Dong that there are so many capable people.

People can also belong to the imperial court. By then, the Song Dynasty imperial court will be completely prosperous!

"It's either a prosperous age or a war! I, Yang Shi, will not hesitate to risk my life to convince Wu Dong!" Yang Shi clenched his fist tightly at this moment. Please come and watch the first release without ads--
