Chapter 222: Watching the Boat

I thought that Monk Li's disguise was to avoid the inspection of Shuangyu, but I never expected that after the ship they were on landed at the mooring place of Liuheng Island, someone just came to inquire about it. Jiang Feng showed the porcelain and silk they were carrying, and the other party charged a few taels of silver for going to the island, so they didn't care.

Looking at Jiang Feng's somewhat puzzled gaze, Monk Li said with a smile:

"Master Jiang, let's go to Taizhou is actually a long detour, if we go to Ningbo in Hangzhou, we will be much closer. However, Xu Qi, the grandson of the turtle, in order to guard against the small island, laid a lot of spies on the road from Hangzhou to Shuangyu, if I came out there, it was inevitable that my identity would be exposed and cause some trouble in vain. ”

While the two of them were talking, they had already walked to the road of Liuheng Island, Jiang Feng really felt shocked, and was shocked by the scene in front of him, there is a wide flat street on the island, which should be the passage left by the fishermen in the past when they did not move inward, surrounding the entire island, but now both sides of the road are full of bustling shops.

Not only the blue bricks and black tiles of Chinese shops, but also the wooden baffle format, as well as Western houses and Japanese wooden houses, it is now quite like an international building exposition. The streets are particularly crowded, and the Francis Westerners, who can only be seen in some big cities in the interior, are very common here.

There are also the hated Wako, or the merchants of the Wa Kingdom who wear kimonos and walk openly, of course, there are also all kinds of merchants of the Ming Dynasty, shops and liquor shops on both sides, and the guys and acquaintances at the door are all shouting loudly there. Sure enough, as Monk Li said, this place is a hundred times more lively than when the mainland goes to the sea.

Jiang Feng shook his head gently, this kind of scene is rare even in a modern city, maybe there are such prosperous commercial streets in his city, but so many foreigners are walking in it with a calm demeanor, I am afraid that only Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are a few first-class big cities have such a level.

He really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so prosperous at this time, and he didn't know that Shuangyu Island, Liuheng Island, Zhejiang, was described by later historians as the "sixteenth century" Shanghai.

Monk Li saw Jiang Feng's shocked expression on the side, obviously when Monk Li led others to the island, he must have seen this appearance more than once, and coughed lightly on the side, which was regarded as a reminder to Jiang Feng, and said softly:

"There are so many people, Xu Qi and Deng Fang can't stare at all one by one, so when they get to the island, they are much safer, my lord, let's go and deliver the goods first, and settle down."

Jiang Feng woke up from the memories of modern times when he heard this, in order to cover his identity, they prepared all kinds of goods suitable for maritime trade in Hangzhou City, although Monk Li had been driven off Shuangyu Island here, but after all, he was familiar with the way, and it was easy to find a shop to get rid of.

At the same time, Jiang Feng also noticed that on this island, there are also some men patrolling with swords coming and going, these people are all wearing cyan cloth clothes, the people on the island are obviously full of awe for these men, after Monk Li saw it, there was only hatred in his eyes, obviously this is Xu Qi and Deng Fang's armament.

When settling down in the inn at night, Jiang Feng inadvertently asked Monk Li, who was a little depressed on the other side:

"Lao Li, how many men with knives are there on this island?"

The meaning of this sentence is to ask how many people are professional soldiers on this Liuheng Island, not the kind of armed sailors, Monk Li followed Jiang Feng to the island during the day, and saw that his former foundation was so prosperous, so he was naturally not in a good mood, and when he accompanied Jiang Feng to eat, he drank a sip of wine there, and he didn't think much when he heard the other party's inquiry, but he answered honestly there:

"Xu Qi and Deng Fang each have more than 400 men who can fight and rush, but if outsiders really come to make trouble, the people of the Wa Kingdom and the Francois can also organize a team of nearly 700 people."

When Jiang Feng heard this number, he just shook his head there and didn't speak, and Liu Shisan, who was concentrating on dealing with a crab there, heard so many people, and immediately threw the crab in his hand on the table, and said hatefully:

"Why are there so many people, I'm still wondering how to wash this Shuangyu!?"

As soon as he said this, Li Guangtou over there suddenly couldn't care about sentimentality, and was stunned for a moment, I don't know whether to be shocked or want to laugh, you Jiang Feng is dozens of pro-soldiers under his command, how can you dare to say so loudly that you want to wash this island.

The place where they were was was in the private seat of the inn, so not only did they feel that what they said was heard by others, Liu Shisan said viciously that he was going to wash the island, Jiang Feng did not speak, and Yang Shishi on the side was still holding a rice bowl there and said with a smile:

"Thirteen Lang is delusional there again."

Monk Li on the side breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that there was always a normal one, Yang Shishi was there with chopsticks and knocked on the table and said:

"There are so many people on the island, it is estimated that we have to move the family to two teams, and it should not be a big problem to wash the whole island."

With a "poof", Li Guangtou over there finally couldn't bear it anymore and squirted out the wine in his mouth.

In the world of the sixteenth century, the highest-quality ceramics and silk could only be bought in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there were many exquisite goods, and the origin was only one in the Ming Dynasty, so although the goods brought by Jiang Feng were the main roads, they were still sold at twice the price higher than the purchase price in the trading house introduced by Monk Li.

Jiang Feng calculated it by himself there, even if he didn't do anything this time, he actually relied on the profits of these goods to offset the cost of going back and forth, which was not a loss, which showed how big the profit of this sea trade was. However, the purpose of this visit is not to sell goods and inspect the market at all.

After lunch, Jiang Feng, Monk Li and a few guards came to Shuangyu Port, the largest and most prosperous port in East Asia in this era.

The rest of the Tie Ding followed the rules of every strange place to see the terrain and paths on the island, as well as various places that were considered critical, after all, people were in danger, and it was good to be prepared with a little more preparation.

In modern times, Jiang Feng once played in Qingdao Port under the leadership of secondary school students, and the ships moored in the port waiting to be packed shocked Jiang Feng from the inland. The same is true in Shuangyu Port, where the mast that has dropped its sails seems to have almost lost its leaves in late autumn.

Such a scene gives people the feeling that it is naturally not gloomy, but spectacular.

Jiang Feng wants to buy a boat, but the concept of a ship is really pitiful, Monk Li will make a fortune under the protection of Jiang Feng in the future, naturally he can't express his opinions casually, this old oilman will naturally not be embarrassed by such a thing, he directly took Jiang Feng to Shuangyu Port here to see the scenery.

There are many styles of ships in the port, and if you like what style you like, after choosing, you can contact the shipbuilding workshop yourself.

In modern times, although Jiang Feng basically has no intersection with ships in reality, except for making wooden boats of lobsters and arctic shellfish, in that kind of information explosion society, TV and the Internet always stuff a lot of things into your head regardless of whether you want to or not, and the knowledge of ships is not clear, but you can still see a lot of shapes.

Among the ships in his field of vision, there is nothing that he has ever seen, and now the sea ships of the Ming Dynasty are basically square-headed and square-headed lucky ships, and these knowledge are on the way from Dengzhou to Hangzhou, and along the way, he also consulted the shipwrights and the iron men who have lived at sea.

Fu ship is almost a common style of maritime merchants, this kind of ship has a large carrying capacity, and it is quite stable when driving on the sea, which can be said to be the first choice of merchant ships, if you use a combat ship, because the stability of this kind of ship and the carrying capacity of cargo and people are quite strong.

Now in the era when this kind of gang jumping and broadside warfare is still the mainstream, this kind of lucky ship is still quite suitable, but Jiang Feng, who has seen the two ship cannons bought by the Xia family, knows what is the mainstream in the future and what is a more powerful ship.

Monk Li looked at the direction of Jiang Feng's gaze and introduced the ship in detail there.

"That is a fortune ship of four hundred materials, now all shipyards are in stock, and the brothers at sea are buying this kind of ship, if the adults want it, there are such ships in the ships that the villain gave to the adults, of course, if you buy a few more, it is naturally more and better."

Seeing that Jiang Feng's eyes did not stay on the so-called four-hundred-material fortune boat for long, and looked to the other side, Monk Li hurriedly looked over and hurriedly explained:

"That's the boat, the Hachiman Great Bodhisattva ship of the Wa Kingdom, the name is Wenfeng, those devils' boats don't know how to use iron nails now, can they be strong?"

The tone was quite contemptuous, and the two of them gathered behind a dozen people and pointed at the ships on the docks of the harbor, so that no one in the crowd was surprised, and there were many people who had not seen such a scene of so many ships moored every day. Under the decree of the Ming Dynasty forbidding the sea, there are indeed too few people who can see such a scene.

Jiang Feng finally saw a ship that was not too unfamiliar, such sailing ships appeared more in various film and television works, this ship did not have more than four masts like a lucky ship, just a simple two masts, Jiang Feng took a few steps to the side and adjusted the angle to make it easier to observe.

Monk Li followed Jiang Feng's gaze, and finally knew that he was looking at the boat, Li Guangtou changed his fluent style, and stammered in a low voice in the tone of the hunchbacked white-bearded old man who was quite in line with his makeup at this time:

"My lord, that's the ship of the Franc machine, and the shipyard can't build it."
