Chapter 239, Boya Port

The port of Koya, the largest port on the island of Koya.

Koya is not an island of unified power, but an island ruled by a coalition of nobles.

Let's put it this way, Koya Island covers an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers, and there are three count-level nobles, five viscount-level nobles, and twelve baron-level nobles. In a world that is said to be made up of islands large and small, any nobleman needs to own a port.

If you don't have a port, no matter how large the land area is, you won't get the status of a nobleman, after all, this is a maritime world.

Then, in addition to these 20 nobles who control the port, there are also three cults of gods on Koya Island, each of which controls a port, and the same Koya Business Alliance controls a port. In other words, there are 24 ports on the entire island of Koya.

Well, the port here refers to these hardware facilities with cranes, deep-water docks, and lighthouses, which will be called ports, and will be counted as the power on Koya Island. As for the small piers that went around the island, they didn't count at all, and no one thought they existed.

This is the difference between a village and a city, the person who controls the city is called the city lord, and the person who owns the village is called the village chief, and the huge difference can be imagined.

Knowing the situation on Koya Island, it is natural to think that the largest port named Koya Port is controlled by one of the three counts?

No, the controller of Koya Port is the Koya Island Business Alliance, and in this world, almost all ports that can be named after islands are in the hands of this kind of commercial alliance, and even if they are not, the business alliance also accounts for a large proportion of the weight of such ports.

No, only these merchants can build and operate the port they control to make the island the largest, and replace them with nobles, who have more ideas and more concerns, and can't act like merchants who are bent on making money, and naturally the ports controlled by nobles cannot be compared with the ports controlled by merchants.

Therefore, this Koya Port is so busy day and night, and more than seventy percent of the import and export business of the entire Koya Island depends on this port.

Faced with this situation, will the nobles be happy? Of course they will not. But the nobles themselves are scattered, and it is impossible to work together to suppress the merchants, in order to keep the merchants from colluding with outsiders, these members of the merchant alliance who control the port automatically obtain the lowest-level knight status.

And the merchant is also very enthusiastic about this knighthood, because it can justifiably own territory and armed forces! This is the best thing for merchants who wander around to do business, and have their own legal arms.

And because these ports are all controlled by the nobility, Koya Island is naturally an island ruled by the noble alliance.

And Chen Haoran, who was driving the ship, naturally picked this port as soon as he picked it.

Of course, he didn't know that this was a port controlled by the merchant alliance, and it was also a port with super liberal freedom, and he only saw on the map that this port had the largest area, the most ships, and the largest population, so he chose this place.

As soon as he saw the lighthouse in the harbor from afar, there was immediately a fast small oarboat with a flag sailing over, Chen Haoran, who had not learned it systematically, of course he didn't know what the flag was about the person at the bow, but when he saw the maid rabbit holding the sail directly lowering half of the sail, he naturally woke up.

Locking the rudder, he stepped out of the deck, looked at the handmaid rabbit who was looking at him from the side, and reached out and touched its head.

"No wonder these dead rabbits are called divine favors in some places, because they can master all the knowledge of any place without discrimination, as long as they are interested. That's right, if they're interested, and if they're not interested, they don't have to say anything. ”

"Hey, I don't know what the identity of the black hand behind the system in my brain is, I actually know so many secret things, and it is obvious that I have wandered around many worlds, I just wonder why such a big cow got a system for me, and let me misunderstand that I was reborn?"

"Is it for our hometown world? It's very likely that the memories instilled by the system will make me think that it is natural for my own world to be in and out of other worldly beings, so that I can't even think of awakening the world consciousness. If you really want to act according to that false memory, it is really possible that your own world will evolve according to the future of false memory. ”

Thinking of the countless otherworldly spaces in the false memory opening up in his own world, thinking that the human beings in his own world can only guard the basic plate and cannot develop, and then looking at the Hailan world, a world that looks like a half-finished product, because of the Hailan consciousness and has become so good, Chen Haoran can't help but think that he will have to awaken the consciousness of his own world after he goes back!

It's really unpleasant to feel like you don't have a door at home!

The pulp boat didn't stop at all, and when it saw Chen Haoran lowering its sails and slowing down, the boat directly circled around Chen Haoran's boat and turned back.

And when he passed by, the person who waved the flag shouted directly: "What kind of cargo is in the ship?"

Chen Haoran raised his eyebrows and swept in the language pack given by Hailan, this is Keya Island dialect?

As soon as this idea came to mind, the map automatically appeared, and then there were three words "Keya Island" on the island, and there were also three words "Keya Port" on the largest port, well, these three words are Chen Haoran's native Xia characters.

Seeing this, Chen Haoran couldn't help but darken his belly: "Hey, it's really an instant map, this allows me to explore the name by myself, is it a little fun that Heilan specially left for me to discover?"

"There's food and wine!" Chen Haoran replied in Koya at the same time.

The standard Keya language made the person holding the flag glance at Chen Haoran a few times, obviously wondering why this fluent Keya speaker had never seen it?

However, in this kind of environment where merchants wander around the world, it is not unusual to occasionally meet outsiders who are proficient in the local language.

So he just nodded, shouted, "Follow me!" and headed for the harbor with the ship.

Chen Haoran naturally returned to the rudder side of the ship, and controlled the direction to follow the waves of the ship in front of him.

Don't look like you can get to the port without having to deal with a pilot, not to mention the problem of hitting the reef if you are not familiar with the waterway. Just in such a busy port, every waterway and every wharf have rules set early, and if you mess around, hit the ship and cause a commotion, and stop a few waterways and several docks, then it will be a big deal.

Also, in this kind of mature port, which wharf receives what goods and what goods are fixed, and these rules are not understood by outsiders, you park indiscriminately, except for delaying time, there is no benefit.

Therefore, when foreign ships arrive at mature ports, they all obey the actions of the pilot, in order to save trouble.

When he was about to arrive at the dock, the sails of Chen Haoran's ship had been lowered by the maid rabbit, and he threw a rope to the slurry boat in front of him, and dragged Chen Haoran's boat into the dock slowly.

As soon as the boat approached and stopped, a person who looked like an official boarded the ship with a few soldiers on the board, and Chen Haoran naturally subconsciously touched the money bag to greet him, because it was obvious that this was someone who came to collect berthing fees and other expenses.

Before Chen Haoran could do anything, the black ball occupied by Heilan's consciousness suddenly popped out in his eyes, and a line of cheerful text was presented: [Release the mission! Release the mission! As long as you become a member of the Keya Port Business Alliance and obtain the status of a knight, you will be rewarded with real knight skills! Work hard to complete the task, boy!]
