Chapter 63 The Port of Indochina
With the sea breeze blowing, Luo Qing stood on the deck of the sea ship, looking at the sea in the distance.
When I first left Sword Island, it was still sparsely populated.
But when they left Sword Island two hundred nautical miles away, ships began to appear.
Most of these ships were built by the territorial lords who landed in this world, and a small number of them were owned by the native indigenous people.
Most of these sea vessels are fishing boats, which are responsible for fishing from the ocean.
For ordinary lords whose territory is on an island, this method is also the best way to gather resources for their territory.
"My lord, in three hours, we will be able to get close to the land of Indochina. "A consul in charge of controlling the ship reported to Luo Qing.
Luo Qing nodded slightly, and his expression showed a bit of discoloration.
The location of Central South Island on the lord plane is about the same as that of Hainan Island on Earth.
Arriving at Innando is equivalent to arriving at the land of Middle-earth.
The entire Indochina Island is the In-South County of the Middle-earth Dynasty, with a county guard and a Janissary stationed in the interior, responsible for guarding the entire Indo-Indo.
The power of the county guard of Zhongnan County is extremely powerful, and the strength of the guards is also very terrifying, and in a short period of time, the lords of various places have no ability to challenge the position of the county guard.
However, in the later period, the lords in various places gradually developed, and even the county guards of Zhongnan County were unable to suppress all the lords.
At that time, the entire Central South Island will be in chaos.
In the previous life, Luo Qing once went to Indochina Island, and at that time, Indochina Island was divided by three powerful lords and fought with each other, and ordinary lords did not dare to meddle in this kind of struggle at all, so they could only choose to take refuge in one of them.
And now, the pattern of Indochina Island should not be so chaotic.
"When you get to Innando, you stay near the sea and wait for me to come back, and don't go to land. Luo Qing thought for a moment and ordered the few people who followed behind him.
These guards were selected by him from the water monkey special unit.
Hearing Luo Qing's order, these guards were taken aback and said, "My lord, isn't it too dangerous for you to go to Zhongnan Island alone." ”
"Rest assured, there is no one who can threaten me on Central South Island now. Luo Qing said confidently.
Compared with the Middle-earth continent, Indochina Island is still a remote area after all, the number of strong people on the island is not large, and the lords in various places have not yet developed.
As long as Luo Qing is careful not to provoke those strong beings on Central South Island, there will definitely be no problems with his own safety.
What's more, now that he has a lot of hole cards, even if he really provokes a powerful indigenous master, he can use all means to escape.
The ship stopped in a harbor, and there were many ships parked in this harbor.
Luo Qing looked up into the distance and could vaguely see that in the depths of the harbor, there were still flags with Chinese characters written on them.
This shows that this port is still under the control of the Han dynasty in China.
It won't be long before the lords of the various places are a little stronger, and it is estimated that someone will start to fight the idea of these ports. The existence that can become a port is a natural haven on Indochina Island, and all sea ships have to stop in the port when they are stopping.
Therefore, as long as you master a port, you will be able to master a steady stream of wealth.
In the last life, the three powerful lords who occupied Indochina Island occupied several ports and made their fortunes.
"When a sea ship docks, all of them have to pay taxes, and they need to pay taxes for one or two taels of silver at a time, and if they are more than three months, they need to pay an additional tax. Luo Qing's sea boat had just stopped at the port, and immediately a messenger wearing official uniform appeared on the edge of the sea ship to collect taxes.
These taxes were stipulated by the Han court in China, and those who refused to pay them were regarded as rebellions.
Luo Qing nodded, ordered someone to step forward, and paid a tax of one or two silver.
Compared to the hard currency of gold coins, silver is actually the currency commonly used by the natives of the lord plane.
On Luo Qing's Sword Island, there are already more than 30,000 gold coins, so naturally there will be no shortage of silver.
The servants, taking the money, hung a wooden sign directly on the edge of the ship, and then turned and left.
With this wooden sign, it is equivalent to having the qualification to stay here.
"You stay here until I come back. Luo Qing casually told the several guards behind him, and immediately jumped off the ship.
However, before he could take a few steps, another group of people rushed directly towards this direction.
Before these people rushed to Luo Qing's side, they were fierce and vicious, and shouted at Luo Qing: "Hey, the newcomer, do you know the rules, you want to stop the boat here, and the poll tax is one or two silver per person." ”
"Poll tax?" Luo Qing was speechless.
This kind of tax is definitely not formulated by the imperial court, it should be a nearby gangster gang or something, who came to extort money.
Luo Qing squinted his eyes and watched this group of people approach, but his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Because in this group of people, Luo Qing actually saw an acquaintance.
The person who was targeted by Luo Qing looked to be in his twenties, not tall, with slender cheeks, and a little cold light flashing in his eyes from time to time.
He followed a fat and strong man, glanced at Luo Qing, and said with a smile: "Boss, seeing that this person is well-dressed, he should be a rich lord, as long as a poll tax of one or two silver, it is too cheap for him, it is better to charge him ten taels of silver poll tax." ”
The fat and strong man snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to pay ten taels of silver." ”
"If you can't afford it, you break his leg and let him bask in the sun here for a few days. The young man with thin cheeks said coldly.
Luo Qing stood aside and watched all this coldly.
Especially this cold young man, he was even more surprised.
Because this cold young man, named Hou Cheng, is one of the three powerful lords who occupied the entire Central South Island in Luo Qing's memory.
When Luo Qing came to Indochina Island in his previous life, Hou Cheng had become one of the three overlords of Indochina Island, and the scenery was incomparable, Luo Qing couldn't compare with others, and he didn't even have the qualifications to meet others.
Therefore, how Hou Cheng rose, even Luo Qing is not too clear.
Looking at Hou Cheng's appearance now, Luo Qing finally understands that Hou Cheng had almost no adventures in his previous life, and his own strength was average, and in the end, he was able to become one of the three overlords of Indochina Island, obviously by colluding with these local forces and rising by drilling camps.
I have to say that in the lord plane world, developing one's own territory is certainly a way to rise.
But in addition, there are many other ways to reach the sky in one step, and all of this is no different from reality.
This Hou Cheng is obviously best at drilling camps and attracting people, so it is not surprising that he finally became one of the three overlords of Indochina Island.
