Across the sea from North Korea, Chisanpo is only a two-day flight downwind from Pyongyang. Compared with the original road to Dengzhou into North Korea, it will take nearly a month to move, which is faster, I don't know how much.

It used to be the easternmost part of the Central Plains, but now the eastern frontier of the Tang Dynasty has expanded to the east of the sea, and two states have been established on the Korean Peninsula, which is the second time since the Han Dynasty.

Chishanpu is now part of Henan Province, one of the ten provinces of the Tang Dynasty.

The Henan Province of Datang is very large, and it has jurisdiction over the entire territory of Henan and Shandong in the later generations, as well as the northern regions of Jiangsu and Anhui. It has jurisdiction over one government, 29 prefectures and 126 counties.

Chishan belongs to Wendeng County, Dengzhou, Henan Province.

Here in the southeasternmost part of Wendeng County, the population is sparse, a county is only a few thousand households, and this Chishanpu is just a fishing village, dozens of families, mainly fishing, a small amount of land cultivation, life is very poor, completely rely on the sea for food.

Chishanpu is now completely unexplored, and you have to take a fishing boat to get in and out of here, and there is no main road to get to the county seat.

The seaweed caught from the sea is dried and piled up into a seagrass roof, and the top is made of stone and mud walls.

This land has been bought by Li Xiao for almost three months.

When Zhao Zhiman sent someone to buy land in Shangdeng County, the county magistrate thought that he was a fool. Three thousand yuan, just buy a piece of wasteland in this corner of the sky? I'm afraid I'm not stupid.

However, of course such a purchase and sale of the county order is willing to do, after hearing that the owner of the land is a nobleman in Chang'an, he also generously allocated some more land, this generous county order fingers trembled on the map, so Li Xiao's three thousand yuan, not only bought the entire Chishanpu, but also bought the ten-mile-wide coast on the three coasts around the port.

In his opinion, there are not a few acres of land in that ghost place, and there are few local people, and planting a few acres of land is not enough for him to eat, and the county government can't even collect taxes there every year, and he can sell it for 3,000 yuan, which is already quite profitable.

In the past three months, the people sent by Zhao Zhiman in advance have also built a simple port wharf and more than a dozen simple seagrass houses.

It looked very rough, but Li Xiao felt very satisfied.

Rome was not built in a day, and this port of Chishan could not be built in a day. In three months, there are already all the basic conditions needed for a small port, which is already good.

There is a wharf, a warehouse and a warehouse, and a few houses, which can be used as inns, restaurants, and shops, which is enough. When there are more boats here in the future, then it will naturally be popular.

If there is popularity, there will be more merchants and shops, and then a port town will become, and if it continues to develop, it will become a prosperous port city sooner or later.

The premise of all this is that it is enough for a ship to come here.

At present, there are three boats parked on the simple dock of Akayamaura.

They are Cheng Biting Jin's Chengfeng and Xue Rengui's Breaking Waves, and Li Xiao's nine-headed Jiao. In Li Xiao's opinion, the name of the ship number between the Cheng family and the Xue family was too casual, and the steward of the Cheng family patted his head and took a Chengfeng number, and then the Xue family followed the trend and started a wave number.

It's too earthy.

What is riding the wind and waves, so he Li Xiao can't follow the Canghai?

When sailing on the sea, a good ship is the most important, and a good ship must have a majestic name.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao personally named his boat, Nine-headed Jiao.

He even designed a flag for his ship, a dragon in the sea with nine hideous heads.

In ancient Chinese myths and legends, Jiao is a dragon, a kind of divine beast, a water beast with dragon blood, in a period of evolution of the dragon, as long as it survives the calamity, it can turn into a real dragon and has great power.

If the dragon encounters thunder and lightning and rainstorm, it will soar up to the sky, and it can only turn into a dragon after the catastrophe.

Jiao and dragon are basically similar, the difference is that Jiao has not yet become a dragon, no horns, or only very short horns, only when they survive the thunderstorm, can they transform into dragons, grow long dragon horns, leap nine nights, call for wind and rain.

The dragon is exclusive to the royal family, and Li Xiao doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately, but Jiao is okay.

Li Xiao's painting of the nine-headed Jiao, with nine heads and two legs, each head has a pair of straight and similar horns, like the horns of a unicorn, without forks. The neck is white, the back is blue, the chest is ochre, and the limbs are like brocade forging.

Generally speaking, the dragon lives in fresh water, and once it enters the sea, it is called a walking dragon, that is, it will turn into a dragon.

The flag is very large, and the nine-headed Jiao on the banner is becoming more and more huge and fierce.

When the flag stands on the top of the mast, looking at it from a distance, it seems that there is a dragon going out to sea, soaring through the clouds.

The crew and sailors on the ships of the Xue family and the Cheng family looked at the Li family's flag, and they couldn't help but envy, they originally thought that their own Wind Riding and Breaking Waves sounded very domineering, but now compared with the nine-headed Jiao of the Li family, it is too plain.

"Our mercenary group is called the Nine-Headed Jiao Mercenary Group, and the flag is also emblemed by this nine-headed Jiao."

A group of mercenaries were very excited about the upcoming voyage to the east and set foot in that strange country. This group of mercenaries composed of concubines, maidservants, illegitimate children, and even sons-in-law, outlaws, fugitives, rangers, etc., is a group of people who are not afraid of death and are willing to take risks.

They are willing to fight with their lives, some for money, some for wealth, some for stimulation, anyway, Li Xiao promised them that everything they want is available in the east of the sea.

Two hundred mercenaries, twenty pro-soldiers, and a team of five hundred people, which are also recruited from all over the world, these people are not as afraid of death as those mercenaries, but they are also willing to come out and break through, these people are mostly composed of farmers' children, craftsmen and apprentices, fishermen and hunters, slave pariahs, etc., they are configured as logistics auxiliaries for the mercenary group.

When they arrived at the sea, they had to hand over to them the chores of building camps, transporting grain and grass, making equipment, and even taking prisoners and guarding the camp.

For this team, Li Xiao hollowed out his family foundation.

Although he also carried a 100,000 yuan of the Wuzhen Prefecture Jinjuan Qian Zhuang silver ticket, it was public money.

On the humble docks, the group of auxiliaries were carrying boxes of supplies onto the ship.

Grain, vegetables, clothing, and even war horses, pack mules, and many weapons.

To go to the other side of the river is to open up wasteland, not to go on vacation.

On the side of the ship of the Xue Cheng family, there were also a large number of people around, they were just as busy transporting all kinds of materials onto the ship, all kinds of seeds, farming tools, etc., in addition to the people of the Xue Cheng family on their boat, there were also many people from the Chang'an Xun family who took their boat.

"Can I really make money going to Baekje?"

"Of course you can, a profitable deal." Li Xiao cheered everyone up.

The captain of the ship, Lao Wang, stood on the deck excitedly, and couldn't wait to sail to the sea.

"The wind is in the right direction, and with this good wind, you can reach the opposite coast in one day and night."

After Lao Wang's test during this time, he found that if the wind is strong and the wind direction is good, then Li Xiao's nine-headed Jiao can sail nearly 100 miles in an hour, of course, this kind of fast sailing has to borrow the wind, and even if there is such a good wind, such a fast speed is also the limit and more dangerous.

It is impossible to have such a good wind all the time when sailing, and it is impossible to be so fast all the time, but there is no problem in sailing about 400 miles in one day and one night, even if you dare not be so fast at night, but one day and one night is indeed enough.

"For the first direct voyage, let's be conservative first, we will sail east first, see the coastline of Goguryeo, and then sail south to Wuzhenzhou Port, three days should be enough."

Lao Wang really wanted to sail directly to the southeast and reach Wuzhenzhou Port, so that he could reach it in one day and one night.

"Don't worry, once born and twice cooked, when we successfully arrive in Wuzhenzhou, you will return, then you can try to fly back directly, if it is successful, then next time you sail, you can sail directly." Li Xiao also admired the boldness of the old king.

The last time a ship sank on a direct voyage, he was the only one alive in the whole ship, and he was not even afraid at all, and the older he was, the more daring he became.

"I've seen the sky, the weather is good these days, the wind is good, and there will be no storms on the sea." Lao Wang has rich experience and has been in Hainan Airlines all his life. As a captain, he basically knows how to read the sky.

Because the captain must learn the art of pulling the stars, if he doesn't have this ability, it will be difficult to discern the direction and it will be easy to get lost. In addition to looking at the direction of the stars, you must also understand the weather, otherwise there are many storms on the sea, and it is not very dangerous.

On some large sea vessels, it is said that there will also be a special meteorologist who is responsible for stargazing and forecasting the weather.

In the summer and autumn, it was smooth sailing to North Korea, even if there was no Li Xiao's seven-sided sail technique, as long as he was not afraid of losing his way, he could sail directly to North Korea. Last time, Lao Wang borrowed the wind to go, but unfortunately he lost his way later.

Now that he has a compass guide, Wang is very confident.

"Lao Wang, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you are steady, as long as we run smoothly for more than a dozen times, we will have the money to build another boat, and then you will be able to command two boats, if you run steadily for a year, you will have three or five boats, and become the commander of a fleet, won't it be majestic at that time?"

Lao Wang listened to the big cake depicted by Li Xiao, but he really couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Commanding a fleet is so imposing. The old king has been running the sea all his life, and he really hasn't been so majestic.

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you, of course it's true."

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, let's sail straight to the east first, and then sail south after seeing the coast, but it won't take three days, two days and two nights, and I can reach the seaport of Wuzhenzhou."

"Lao Wang, take it easy, we have three big ships this time, but there are more than a thousand people." Li Xiao has appointed Lao Wang as the commander-in-chief of this fleet, after all, he has rich experience, and Li Xiao has always advocated professional things in this regard.

The sea sails by the helmsman, there is Lao Wang, plus the compass compass, seven-sided sail technology, watertight compartment these magic weapons, and just sail by the monsoon, the weather is good, there should be no accident.
