The governor of the begging harbor was very pleased that a merchant ship had arrived...... He waited excitedly in the official residence for the tax collector's report, and heard that it was a merchant ship from Liuqiu Island, and he was sure to receive a high commercial tax!

He thought excitedly, it would be all that snow-white sugar!

Sugar is as good as a spice in Persia...... Sell even better!

When he was thinking about how much tax he could collect, the tax collector came to report, and sure enough, most of it was sugar...... Those merchants are so clever that they would use sugar as ballast and not occupy other cabins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Persian merchant also brought with him a large quantity of coarse porcelain and coarse silk, which were cheap when they were restocked, and which were easy to sell in the Persian region, which was conducive to rapid shipments...... After all, this time it's not about business.

He also followed the example of the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, and filled a large amount of coarse tea between the coarse porcelain porcelain, which could not only prevent breakage, but also bring one more goods.

In the beginning, the coarse tea produced on the island of Liuqiu was not very easy to sell, but later, as the number of high-class people who tried to drink tea increased, it gradually began to become popular in Persia...... But it is not as prevalent as it is in Cairo.

However, it is heard that there are other maritime merchants who are transiting and trafficking into the Italian peninsula and the Paris and London areas.

The tax collector bowed down and reported that he had collected 20% of the commercial tax on all goods in accordance with the previous policy!

The prefect of the begging port cocked his mustache and said happily: "Not enough...... Our shipyard was ordered to build three more ships, and these costs have not yet been paid for by the ...... Let's get more! ”

After the begging shipyard was fully nationalized, it was forcibly required to build warships for nothing at every turn, and as for the materials needed, I would find a way to solve it myself!

At this time, cedar and other hardwoods were also abundant in the Ilkhanate region, and they could send people to East Africa to cut down large quantities of ebony and other hardwoods, just like Cairo.

All of this costs money, but his superiors only want warships, but they don't care about begging for the supplies that the shipyard needs...... Therefore, it has been a headache for the local governor who has lost his port.

There was enough head tax here, and he couldn't increase it at all, so he had to hit the idea of the maritime merchants who came here to do business.

The Persian merchant happily accepted another tax increase, hoping to get rid of his goods as quickly as possible.

Because he knew it was going to be a battlefield soon...... He saw more than a hundred members of the Stream Guard disguised as sailors and went ashore unhurriedly.

Although the port is not a big port, there are also many sailors on the wharf, and after the more than 100 people go ashore, it is like a stream flowing into the river, which is inconspicuous.

There were dozens of Tatar servicemen on the docks, carrying steel knives at their waists, and watching the people on the dock idle, constantly moving goods on and off.

There is no boom crane on the wharf of Ryuki Island, and all the goods are carried by manpower, and all the speed is very slow.

As soon as the Persian merchant disembarked, he was surrounded by local merchants who were waiting for him, vying for bids for his goods, which gave him ample freedom of choice...... Wherever the goods on Liuqiu Island were sold, they were many times more profitable, which made him involuntarily proud.

The port of beggar was only about two kilometers away from the city of beggar, and on the Persian merchant's ship, a squad leader of the Liuqiu Guard secretly used a telescope to observe the area around the dock and the so-called beggar city.

He was happy to see that the defense here was basically equal to nothing!

The gates of that beggar city are a little tattered, and they can barely be closed?!

Those so-called soldiers were locals...... It was heard that only the head of the hundred households and his two cronies were Tatars.

The captain of the Liuqiu squad smiled and thought, when the time comes, he only needs to set up three gallows in the city.

Before evening, the members of the team who had infiltrated the city returned, and all of them had learned to draw topographical maps, and had already drawn all the main buildings and important places in the city.

The Persian merchant was right, for them it was like a stripping Hui or a Persian dancer waiting for them.

Earlier, when the Persian merchant told this metaphor to Captain Guo Beyu and his assistants, all three of them unconsciously showed lewd smiles.

Both the Hui and the Persians opened several "green houses" on the island, which was a unified naming requirement according to the regulations of the island, and such green houses also stipulated a designated construction area, and if it was night, at least ten or more red lights should be hung outside the building as a sign...... Later, when the red light district was mentioned, the men on the island understood it.

Also aware of it are Hui Hui and Persian dancers...... They can't compare to the elegance and talent of their female counterparts in the Great Song Dynasty, but they can be wild, more daring to show their flesh and be direct, after applying the high-quality perfume produced on Liuqiu Island, their dance can make men directly what, as long as they give enough Liuqiu coins, they can hold hands on the spot!

So...... The profession of a dancer is very imaginative to the imagination.

The three of them smiled lewdly for a while...... Captain Guo Beyu and Squadron Leader Zhang Depei have always denied that they have been to such a place in public, and the experience of their companion, Gu Jianshan, shows that their master family does not like them to hold hands too early, especially to go to such a place.

However, there were soon disagreements between the two of them.

Captain Guo Beyu proposed to take the port of Qiswan as a pirate and destroy the shipyards there.

Captain Guo Beyu said: "We can also confiscate the property of the local bigwigs, lest they indirectly finance the Tatar robbers...... And it's more convenient to destroy, without scruples...... Hey. ”

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei shook his head and said, "We are the Navy of the Liuqiu Guard...... The lord has said that everything must be done in a dignified manner, their shipyard builds warships, and we will destroy it, which is a matter of course, and the official property here is also our victory, so why hide it?!

As for the property of the people...... As long as it is not related to the government, I personally think that it is better not to touch them than to touch their reputation! ”

Captain Guo Beyu was a little annoyed and said, "This is thousands of miles away from Liuqiu, what reputation do we want!" ”

"Personally, I still think so, if you think about it, even if it's thousands of miles away, how do you know that we won't come here again...... If in a few years, we will occupy this place!

However, you are the captain of the brigade and you have the final say......"

Captain Guo Beyu bowed his head and was silent.

yes, how do you know you won't come here again? How do you know that this place will not be ruled by us...... In that case, a good reputation is far more important than a robbery!

He still has this vision.

Captain Guo Beyu asked again: "If we disclose our identities, will it affect the Persian merchants to come to Liuqiu Island to do business?" ”

Squadron Leader Zhang Depei was also stunned for a moment, yes, he really hadn't thought about this question...... The two of them called the Persian merchant and inquired about it.

The Persian merchant replied in fluent Da Song dialect that he would definitely not ...... As long as our goods are good to sell, I haven't heard of any place where we can ban business...... What does the war between the government and the merchants have to do with it?!

The two of them glanced at each other and understood that the merchants in this place were only concerned about interests, and there was no concept of a country at all.

The two of them then decided to openly raise the banner of the Liuqiu Guard Navy, openly put on their military uniforms, and attack there in the name of the Liuqiu Navy!

Of course, the ones they sent out earlier should have been civilian clothes.

The port was lost, and the members of the team summed up what they had obtained on the Persian merchant's ship, and under the arrangement of the squad leader, they drew up their own battle plan, hoping to give perfect cooperation when the majority of men and horses arrived. (To be continued.) )
