As more and more ship echoes appeared on 8154's radar, the fleet reached near the beacon tower next to the port of Champang, and a pilot boat rowed towards this direction, four sailor-like people on the small boat were rowing oars, and at the bow stood a middle-aged man dressed in what looked like an official robe, and the face of this person was a standard Vietnamese face. When the ship was rowed under the five-masted ship, he looked at the ship with his face held high, and then shouted at the ship's babbling words.

"This is really Vietnamese. But it's a southern dialect. Wu Wenlin hurriedly said to Gu Qingqian that this time because he came to Vietnam's territory to do trade, he had to bring a Vietnamese translator, so his application was directly approved.

"And what did he say?" Gu Qingqian hurriedly asked.

Wu Wenlin listened carefully for a while, "He told us to put our knives and guns into storage, close the fire door of the artillery, and then they will go on board to check the cargo." ”

Ruan Qingshan said with a smile on the side: "What to check the situation of the goods?" It's just that you come up to ask for a bribe, and you can just give two taels of silver later. ”

Sure enough, the official got on the five-masted ship and looked left and right, and without speaking, he just turned around on the deck, and Gu Qingqian walked over and stuffed two pieces of silver coins that had been stamped out by the crossing crowd into his hand with a smile. The official looked at the woman who made him feel stunned, and then looked at the silver coin in his hand for a moment. This kind of official, who has been accepting bribes outside all the year round, knows very well the fineness and weight of the silver in his hand, but the two strange silver cakes in his hand give him a completely different feeling. First of all, it was unusually smooth, not small and rough like the Medenor or Yanin silver coins, and this was the first time I had seen such a neatly edged silver coin with tiny jagged edges. On one side of the coin are some Chinese characters, "People's Bank of China", in the middle are two large characters "one tael", and on the other side are different, one is a rat with a steering wheel twisting its buttocks, and the other is a duck with only a fire hammer. He had never seen such a fine silver coin in his life, and the color was far purer than any silver coin or silver he had ever seen, and even shone brightly in the sun. He hurriedly stuffed the silver coin into the pocket of his sleeve, secretly planning that he would have to keep it and not take it out and use it.

After receiving the money, he naturally had to do something, he pretended to check the list of goods, which were all simplified characters, and he couldn't understand it, so he asked Gu Qingqian to read it to him once. Gu Qingqian's boss was not happy at this time, this tax official was afraid that he had never rinsed his mouth, and he spoke loudly, and he would spew spit stars at every turn, and after avoiding it several times, she began to read the types of goods inside.

"What is cooling oil?" The tax collector asked in an official dialect with a strange accent.

Gu Qingqian covered her nose with a cover-up, "It's a kind of medicine, refreshing and repelling mosquitoes......" She suddenly stammered, and couldn't remember the use of cool oil. Hurriedly asked someone to take out a little cool oil for the tax collector to see.

The tax collector was immediately taken aback when he got his hands on it: "This thing! Could it be a panacea? ”

Gu Qingqian was stunned for a moment, it is true that someone calls cool oil a panacea, so she nodded.

The tax collector said with a look of surprise: "This thing is a luxury item, and I am afraid that it will have to be taxed heavily." ”

"Luxury??" Gu Qingqian suddenly felt that her brain was not enough, "This thing...... Could it be that there are also here? ”

"Absolutely! A few months ago, the fleet of Zheng Daren from Fujian Province of the Wu Dynasty came here, and they were all the size of a fingernail, and an iron box was worth ten taels ......."

All the onlookers on the ship felt their legs go weak almost at the same time, "This thing is so expensive?" Someone immediately shouted loudly, and someone next to him immediately wanted to cover his mouth, but Gu Qingqian shook her hand to stop it, turned to the tax official and said: "This thing is my American specialty, and the goods of the Wu Dynasty are also supplied by us, this thing is not very valuable, if you don't believe it, these will be given to this adult." ”

"Are you not from the Wu Dynasty?" The tax collector looked at the woman in front of him with a little surprise, who was so serious that he was about to start losing his temper. "Muffel and the others are American maritime merchants?"

"Yes, yes." Gu Qingqian smiled, revealing her snow-white and neat teeth.

The tax officer's expression immediately lost his temper, and he waved at Gu Qingqian again and again, "The lower official didn't know that it was an American maritime merchant who came here, and he forgave him for not being able to welcome him from afar." As he spoke, he dug into the pocket of his sleeve. Gu Qingqian knew that he was going to take out the two silver dollars and return them to her, so she reached out to stop the tax collector.

"The little girl has just arrived, and she didn't report it to herself at first, and I hope the adults will forgive me. The two taels of silver are also asked to be accepted by the adults to dissipate their anger. ”

"Where, where......" the tax collector's face began to sweat. My princess, the lord of Zhancheng, has been friends with you American maritime gods for a long time, and has always explained to all tax collectors that as long as they meet American maritime merchants, they can enter the port duty-free for the first time, and they will also invite them to gather in the city. ”

Gu Qingqian felt a little surprised, is this "princess" paying attention to her side too abnormal? As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon, do these people who occupy the port have any intentions?

"I'll lead this ship into the harbor in the next place, but please sir...... Oh no...... Mrs. ......" He saw that the expression on Gu Qingqian's face was a little unnatural, and immediately reacted, which of these people who often rely on other people's faces to eat is not a human spirit, and quickly changed his words, "This young lady moved to the princess's mansion in the city to get together." Saying that, he was about to get off the boat, and Qian Longzhou from the survey group next to him shouted, "We still have a boat behind, do you want to check it?" ”

Where did this official dare to check, and hurriedly arched his hand at Qian Longzhou, "No, no, just tie a rope and be dragged into the harbor by the pilot boat." ”

The tax collector was taken aback when he saw the boat following behind, this ship had no sails or oars, and it could actually advance and retreat freely on the sea, and he could enter the port all the way without the tuck towing him, and the people on the boat were still waving at him with a smile on their faces, looking not tired at all. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his crew, all of whom were sweating and paddling desperately to drag the five-masted ship with American maritime merchants on it.

"The inbound route of Champa Port is a figure-7, the port is surrounded by a sandbar inside, both the entrance and the exit are the same, there is a lighthouse on the sandbar at the entrance port, and there is a cannon under the lighthouse, it looks like it should be a six-pounder gun, and the range will not exceed one kilometer." Qian Longzhou leaned on the deck guardrail of the five-masted ship, while using a digital camera to photograph the situation of Champa Port while dictating the situation, and the cartographers on the side were busy recording. "There are about ten berths for 300-ton ships in the harbor, five trestles, there are no cranes on the wharf, and there is a six-pounder gun on the north and south sides of the wharf for shore defense artillery, and the defense is lax. There is a guard station at the pier, and it is estimated that there are less than 20 people. ”

The draftsman wrote it down directly on paper in English, so that it would not be exposed in the event that it fell into the hands of someone else.

As soon as the five-masted ship approached the pier, a group of women, children, and young men rushed to the pier in the distance, and they flocked to the ship on the three-meter-wide pier, making the crowd on board nervous.

"What's going on?" Gu Qingqian asked a little worriedly, and several people not far away from him had even taken the Glock pistol in their hands.

I saw that when these people were still five or six meters away from the plank of the boat that had just been erected, suddenly many people shouted loudly, some shouted in Vietnamese, some shouted in Mandarin, and for a while the noisy sound drowned out the entire trestle.

"This is the family of some boat owners, they must have heard the news of the boat being robbed, and there may have been a passing fishing boat that recognized the boat and went back to inform them." The captain said to Gu Qingqian, pointing to a woman like Roshan below and saying, "This is that Ruan Qingshan's wife." ”

Gu Qingqian looked around, although her eyes were poisoned by the computer for a long time and she was a little short-sighted, but she also effortlessly saw the Roshan in the crowd, this woman is about one meter eight tall, but the horizontal distance is almost one meter eight, this Roshan is wearing a satin dress, and walks quickly towards this side with the support of the two maids, and the people on both sides probably obviously felt the vibration of the ground, so they all turned their heads and quickly got out of the way.

"I'll it! I have only heard people say that people are eight feet tall and have a waist circumference of eight feet...... I've had an eye-opener today! Qian Longzhou couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, and then patted Ruan Qingshan on the shoulder on the side, "Brother, good luck!" ”

Ruan Qingshan's face couldn't help twitching, and he walked down reluctantly......

Before the reunion was completed, a few women and children who had lost their families suddenly sat down on the pier and cried, and the voice was miserable, which made a few people who passed through it couldn't help but feel a little sad. However, a few young people led by a middle-aged man took three steps and made two steps on the board of the ship, and bowed their hands to these new faces on the boat, "Lin Zhennan, the treasurer of the Lower Zhucheng Ji, I have seen all the maritime merchants, what goods are available?" My Tale of the Cities will provide the best price! ”

Gu Qingqian stepped forward, habitually stretched out her right hand and was about to speak, but the middle-aged man waved her hand to dodge, "Men and women don't kiss, but please respect this woman!" As she spoke, she looked at the men behind her with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, which made Gu Qingqian stunned on the spot.

"I'll go! Lin Zhennan? Qian Longzhou next to him shouted out first. You don't have a son named Lin Pingzhi, do you? ”

Lin Zhennan looked at Qian Longzhou in amazement, "You and I met for the first time, how did you know the name of the dog?" ”

"Didn't we spend half a day trying to cross over to Jin Yong's martial arts world, did we?" Qian Longzhou couldn't help muttering to himself.

Gu Qingqian hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and explained, "I'm sorry, it's a coincidence that Your Excellency's name has the same name as someone I know well. ”

Lin Zhennan showed a trace of disdain in his eyes, and walked around Gu Qingqian and asked loudly to the people behind her: "Which one of the several maritime merchants is the one who is the one who speaks?" When did someone offend you so much that you couldn't be humiliated by this woman? ”
