The time spent on the fleet sampling inspection was not too long, and the old experience of the Hong Dynasty fleet was not so much a random inspection, but rather a scare of the members of Meng Fei's patchwork fleet in the name of random inspection.

As long as those who believe in ghosts and ghosts, when it comes to random inspections, there will always be a little unnatural, then the tax collectors of the Hong Dynasty fleet can take the opportunity to detect and turn to deal with this kind of stealing and cheating.

Of course, more maritime merchants who dare to take risks, since they dare to make small moves in the way of evasion and customs declaration, it is impossible without electric courage, so the Hong Chao sailors can really investigate and blow up the footwork elements through this matter, and more are those smuggling ships that do not have provisions for leaving the port.

And Meng Fei, who was walking the sea for the first time, naturally couldn't do such a stupid thing in a dizzy mind, so they easily passed the test.

"Keelung Port is only more than a hundred miles away from here to the west, everyone has a good journey, we have military affairs in our body, so we won't bother!"

After checking and finding no problems, the commander of the fleet of the Hongtang Naval Division sent a message to let Meng Fei and them leave, and then a dull whistling sound sounded on the warship of the Hongtang fleet, and a large column of gray-white smoke with moisture rose into the sky At the same time, the warships of the Hongtang Naval Division's fleet gradually began to start.

"Tonight, everyone is not allowed to take time off, it's time for everyone to take a text test!"

"Ahh

"Commander, you're so inauthentic!!"

“…………”

The rumors of the past brought some verbal exchanges that drifted from the side of the Hongtang fleet, and Meng Fei and they couldn't understand at all, and as the fleet gradually moved away, they finally returned to calm.

When the fleet finally arrived at Keelung Harbor, it was a day and a half after they bumped into the Hongtang fleet and were inspected.

When I entered Keelung Port, it was already ten in the evening, and Keelung Port was a brightly lit city from a distance, and the entire harbor was lit up before the sky even disappeared completely.

In particular, the lighthouse, which is nearly ten feet above sea level and has a raging flame at the top, can also be seen dozens of miles away.

All the way south, with the help of the northwest monsoon, Meng Fei and their journey from Tianjin City to Keelung Port, it took almost a month.

"This is the docking ticket for your sea ship, how many more days do you need to stay in it?"

With the help of the port staff, Meng Fei and his sea boat slowly docked at a pier port, and then a member boarded the ship and registered to ask Meng Fei about their itinerary and intentions.

"We're just resupplying in Keelung Harbor, and we'll be back in three days at most."

Meng Fei quietly took out a piece of broken silver, took advantage of the dim night, hid his palm in his sleeve, and slowly handed it to the staff of the Hong Dynasty who were registering.

Seeing Meng Fei's little move, the young port registrar raised his head and warmed up with a friendly smile: "This guest must be running a boat for the first time, right?" ”

"Huh? How do you see that? ”

Meng Fei was startled, and then looked down to see that he was all dressed, and the difference between him and the other owners and sailors on the ship was not so big.

And along the way, he finally got used to life on the water, and Meng Fei thought that he was the first brother when he first boarded the boat, completely different from him.

But now he was suddenly guessed by the other party, which really surprised Meng Fei.

"Anyone who has come to our Keelung County and dealt with our Hongchao staff should know that this thing is not a welfare for us, but a complete scourge!"

"I, the staff of the Hong Dynasty, no one dares to collect any items from the guests without permission, otherwise the light ones will be laid off on the spot and lose their jobs, and the heavy ones will be directly imprisoned and punished by the law."

"So, we don't dare to take your money, you better take it back!"

While explaining, the staff pushed Meng Fei's hand back, and his demeanor was full of determination.

"It's just to see that Mr. Xiao is tired from work, please have a cup of tea, and now there are no outsiders, we will never say it, Mr. Xiao, please accept it for a long time!"

Meng Fei and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, given that they had dealt with the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the like, they were not picky about the fat in their mouths at all, as long as they sent the benefits in front of them, they were not ambiguous at all.

"What do you need, and what difficulties do you have, just say that our staff will do their best to help you, but we really don't dare to accept this thing, and if you accept it, you are harming us!"

The young staff of the Hong Dynasty seemed to have dealt with people like Meng Fei a lot, and they continued to excuse themselves without being discouraged at all.

"Boss, you better take it back, they really won't take it."

It was Meng Fei who hired the captain who stood up at this time, sat up for the Hong Dynasty staff, and persuaded Meng Fei to take back the broken silver.

"Hong Chao's rules are very strict, as long as they find out that these staff members eat and take cards, they will lose their jobs, not to mention, they may really go to jail!"

"I heard that last time, a staff member blackmailed a Western businessman, and he was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison less than half a day after he got a ruby!"

With the persuasion of the captain, an insider, Meng Fei gave up, but he had a better impression of Hong Chao, the ruler above their heads now.

At least, the staff at the bottom of the Hong Dynasty are clean and measured, so it is a good thing for ordinary people, who occupy the majority of the vast majority.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, the reason for the erosion of the situation on the surface of the Ming Dynasty is natural disasters, and it is a harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes, but fundamentally speaking, why not the group of officials below are rotten to the end, and there is no longer any sense of proportion, and the local tyrants and gentry families are in cahoots, and the people are forced to live by oppression?

"The wharf where you are now is the 59th pier, from this avenue to the west, to the second intersection you can see the 'Youjian' inn, if you want to live better, then continue to the west, the third intersection to the left, there is a Chunxi Building, where to eat, drink and have a dragon."

"However, docking at our dock will cost two dollars a day, and according to your previous plan, you will now need to charge you ten silver dollars as a deposit, and when you leave or when the deposit is deducted, we will contact you again."

"Good, good!"

Meng Fei took out the silver dollar exchanged in Tianjin City, took out ten yuan from it, and handed it to the other party.

"Here's the receipt, please take it!"
