The farther south he went, the more Han Zhengshan felt the strong influence of Haihan, and the higher the degree of completion of the infrastructure of these trading ports belonging to Haihan he saw. For example, the port area on the coast of Causeway Bay is not just a few passenger and cargo terminals, but also a large area of residential area along the coastline that indicates that at least thousands of permanent residents live here. There are no large areas of farmland or plantations as far as the eye can see, which indicates that the local source of income is very likely to rely on the maritime trade brought by ships, as well as the corresponding intermediary, labor, warehousing, accommodation, catering and other service industries, and such a trade-centered social division of labor is definitely a rare scene in the Ming Dynasty.

Migrants, including Han Jeong-san, were given more freedom of movement here, and they were organized to go ashore in groups to visit the local port operations and learn more about the current situation in the area through explanations by the official tour leader. The increasingly mature trade market and convenient transportation conditions, as well as the perfect supporting facilities and related rules and regulations, have replaced the role of the Pearl River Wharf outside Guangzhou to a certain extent, and become the largest trading port in the coastal area of Guangdong.

In fact, even if there is no corresponding explanation, it is not difficult for a discerning person to infer from the prosperity of the port area how much resources Haihan invested in running this place, and the importance and dependence of Haihan on trade are impossible for the local government of Daming to imitate.

Han Zhengshan came from Hangzhou, and has a more personal understanding of this situation, Hangzhou's status in Zhejiang is similar to Guangzhou, and it plays the role of a political, economic and cultural center in the region, but after Haihan opened a port in Zhoushan, the center of coastal trade in Zhejiang gradually shifted from Hangzhou to Zhoushan Island outside Hangzhou Bay, which is almost a copy of the transfer process of the trade center in Guangdong. The difference between the two places is that the Haihan people have been based in Zhejiang for a short time, and the influence of the Zhoushan Trade Port is still relatively limited for the time being, while Guangdong is the base camp of the Haihan for several years, and Hong Kong's influence in the economic field is not comparable to Zhoushan's current object.

Although Han Zhengshan has never been to Guangzhou, judging from the introduction of the team leader and the situation he has seen at the moment, it is not difficult to speculate how Haihan gradually seized the trade share from Guangzhou by operating his own port - the same means they have been using in Zhejiang for more than a year, and Han Zhengshan has some understanding. If the Guangdong government wants to change this outflow of resources, it will probably have to adopt the means of closing the country to the outside world, prohibiting any form of trade in Guangdong, and completely expelling the Haihan from the Pearl River Delta.

Can the Guangdong government do this? The answer is obvious. When Haihan had not yet gained a firm foothold in Zhejiang, it had already made the government unable to parry, and this year it directly hit the city of Hangzhou, forcing Zhejiang's political envoy Wang Ji to sign an alliance under the city, opening up the trade rights in Zhejiang to Haihan. This is still the case in Zhejiang, and the Liangguang region, which is the traditional territory of the Haihan Dynasty, is naturally needless to say, and the degree to which the local government here is infiltrated by the Haihan will only be greater than that of Zhejiang. If someone wants to try to use violent means to keep Haihan out, I am afraid that the end will be worse than those early brothers in Zhejiang, and the pressure from within the Guangdong officialdom alone is probably enough to make him lose his official position.

During the visit, Han Zhengshan noticed that it was not the Haihan soldiers seen at the previous stops who maintained public order, but a young man dressed in black, with a wooden stick around his waist and a rattan helmet on his head. According to the team leader's introduction, these people are called "policemen", and their scope of duty is similar to Han Zhengshan's past errands.

Han Zhengshan looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask the team leader: "These people only have a wooden stick, if the murderer has a sharp blade, won't they suffer a big loss?"

The team leader glanced at Han Zhengshan, and still patiently explained to him: "You can just look away, you can look at the copper whistle hanging on their chests, when something happens, you can blow it to attract nearby companions to come to reinforcements, and the small cowhide bag around the waist is a stainless steel handcuff to lock up the prisoners who have been taken." The police officers who led the team were also equipped with repeating firearms, which could kill a person from a few feet away with a single projectile. If you think that you can do whatever you want in the Haihan realm with the help of swords, guns, and sticks, then you are very wrong! In the past few years, there are not no heroes from all walks of life who want to make a fortune, and I have not seen anyone who can get out smoothly, and all those who are not dead have been imprisoned in the hard labor camps! Besides, there is still a Haihan army stationed here, and we can't cope with any scene!"

Han Zhengshan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words "hard labor camp", although he has now been classified as an immigrant to be assigned, the days he spent in the hard labor camp are still vivid, and he is inevitably a little sensitive when he hears others mention this topic. After nearly a month of pounding stones in the Zhoushan Forced Labor Camp, he didn't want to go back to that environment.

Nearly 300 immigrants from Penghu ended up staying at the port, but Han Zhengshan's name still didn't have his name among them. This meant that he would continue to travel south with the migrant boat, and his final destination might be somewhere in the South China Sea, far from the Ming Dynasty, as he had previously anticipated. However, Han Zhengshan was no longer willing to think about those uncertain futures at this time, at least judging from the few Haihan ports he had already visited, no matter how bad the living conditions were, they were much better than those in the hard labor camp.

The migrant fleet rested in Hong Kong for a day and two nights, and when it set off again, a troop transport ship and an exploratory-class warship were added to the fleet, both of which were troops that had been transferred back to Sanya to take a break. After leaving Hong Kong, martial law on the ship was further lifted, and the immigrants were able to go to the deck in batches every day to breathe, and the duration of each release has also increased from about one stick of incense in the past to an hour.

The day after departure, the captain finally announced to everyone the destination of the next stop - Sanya, the capital of the Haihan Kingdom. This news made the immigrants can't help but let out a cry of amazement, they have gradually seen the strength of the Haihan along the way, and they are full of expectations for this maritime country and the future life, and now they have the opportunity to go to the capital of the Haihan country, naturally they can't help but be very excited. However, there are also insiders like Han Zhengshan, who have long known that the so-called territory of the Haihan Kingdom is actually forcibly occupying Qiongzhou Island, which belongs to Liangguang, but the government here has colluded with the Haihan to conceal the relevant situation and not report it.
