After hugging Liu Qingyun at the pier, Bai Qishan left Bowang and sailed southwest along the newly opened route, stopping at two small islands along the way, and was expected to arrive at the other end of the new route in ten days.

Of course, there are more than two small islands on this road, but there is no need for all small islands to be stationed, not to mention the waste of resources, and there is no need.

After more than a month of tempering, Yueqin is no longer seasick, and now she can accompany Bai Qishan to stand on the deck on the second floor to blow the wind and enjoy the scenery of the blue sea and blue sky.

She is in a good mood now, not only because she can always be by Bai Qishan's side, which can greatly increase the chance of conception, but Bai Qishan also promised her that this time she would go to Wanhai Country for a visit, although it was not a trip specifically for her, but it also made her happy for several days without sleep.

Wanhaiguo is her hometown, she has been away from her hometown for more than five years, and all the suffering comes from there, but the memories of her childhood are also there.

What's more, she wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about her sister's news, as for her father and a brother and a brother, she should have never had one.

The sailboat moves forward in the waves, splitting the white waves.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the passengers on deck.

"What's going on?" Bai Qishan looked curiously in the direction where the commotion came from.

"Concubine go and ask..."Yueqin was just about to leave, but the exclamation from there had already given them the answer.

"Look, whale!"

"It's huge!"

"Look, look, it's squirting!"

"Husband, it seems that there is a whale nearby. What is a whale?"

"Let's go and have a look. Bai Qishan's heart turned sharply, a little excited, but his face was silent, and he said lightly.

When the two rushed over, the side of the boat on that side was already full of passengers and idle sailors in their hands, and with the help of his entourage, Bai Qishan took Yueqin to grab a front row position with difficulty.

I saw that about 300 meters behind the boat, a group of giant beasts were rolling and playing in the water, spewing a spring of water from their heads from time to time, or raising their giant tails, and then slapping them violently, splashing a wave.

It's just that in a short time, Bai Qishan can't tell if this is a group of migrating whales, or if this is one of their homes.

But it doesn't matter, whether you're moving through or making a home here, catching them is a good start. Bai Qishan had read books about whaling in school, so in his eyes, the dozen or so giant whales in front of him were mobile gold mines.

Calm down, it's not the time yet.

Bai Qishan forced himself to calm down, he needed to think carefully about how to deal with this matter.

Conceal the news and slowly try to act, and wait for yourself to become stronger?

The idea is very beautiful, Bai Qishan glanced at the surrounding crowd lightly, and sighed, the variables are too big, maybe someone wants to go with him in the middle, and there are many people, and the news can't be hidden at all.

Looking for an ally or two?

Now there is no chamber of commerce in Huaxia and the new Mingde Chamber of Commerce of the same size, and the small businessmen who are not in the climate can't eat together, it's useless, there are several stronger than the new Mingde, Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, Northern Chamber of Commerce, Cupola Chamber of Commerce, Linglong Chamber of Commerce... But cooperating with them, it is easy to be anti-customer-oriented, resulting in the end of Xinda Mingde being marginalized, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Hey, the position of the new Da Mingde is a little embarrassing. Bai Qishan sighed in a low voice.

Buying a boat before the whaling tide is high?

Yes, but he could only drink one mouthful of soup, and the rest of the meat was not his share at all.

"It seems that there is only one last way, cooperate with the official!" Bai Qishan made a decision in an instant, this is the choice that is most in line with his interests, although the official will also take the majority, but the official face, no matter how you look at it, their festival value is a little higher than that of the private chamber of commerce, as the initiator, it is impossible for the official not to give him benefits, and borrowing money and borrowing boats is the right thing to do.

Now the question is, where to cooperate with the authorities?

There are three options.

Central, Navy, Strait Governor's Palace, and Bowang Governor's Palace.

The latter two can only be counted as one option, no matter which one they choose, they can't do without the other, because they are too close to each other, and cooperation can be a win-win situation.

To choose a specific collaborator, what Bai Qishan has to do is to weigh the pros and cons of each option, and then choose the one that is most beneficial to him.

First of all, the navy can't be chosen, the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce made a fortune by relying on the navy, the people are old relations, plus the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce itself is not short of ships, if it cooperates with the navy, the biggest possibility is that people throw a bone to the new Da Mingde, and then turn around and give a pot of soup to Sanjiang.

The center is similar, and Baiqishan can't reach it.

Fan Zhen, the political envoy of the Bowang Governor's District, was Bai Qishan's teacher, and with this relationship, Bai Qishan felt that he had no reason not to take advantage of it.

So, the results speak for themselves.

"However, the problems of the ship and the crew must be solved as soon as possible, and we cannot rely entirely on the government, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be impatient people who cannot resist the temptation of others. "Bai Qishan secretly has a plan.

The whale pod is just a vignette that adds a touch of color to the boring journey, and that's it, until the whales are out of sight and everyone is back to their original state, what to do.

On July 29, the seventh year of China, Bai Qishan docked at Dingyuan Port with the swaying passenger ship.

"I heard that there is no fresh water in this place, and the plants are all soaked in salt water, and I don't know if the rumors are true. Before he got off the boat, Bai Qishan heard someone start talking.

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would Admiral Deng want to move the Strait Governor's Palace. Someone immediately confirmed this rumor and said, "If it weren't for the key geographical location of Dingyuan Port, I wouldn't have chosen this place to build a city at all." ”

Bai Qishan smiled knowingly, didn't say anything, and slowly disembarked with Yueqin and his entourage with the crowd, he didn't have anything to do when he came to Dingyuan Port, he just wanted to get off the boat and rest for the night.

With the order of Admiral Deng last month to move the Governor's Palace, the status of Dingyuan Port instantly dropped several grades, the rhythm of rapid development was also interrupted, and the desire to become a prosperous port city in the future can only be a good wish.

Early the next morning, the passenger ship continued to depart, and there was no port to dock for a thousand miles, and it was not until it entered the legendary Devil's Passage in the Kuril Strait that there was a new docking point, which was also the new station of the Strait Governor's Palace, Taibai Port.

Taibai Port is located on the north shore of the eastern entrance of the Qiandao Strait, guarding the eastern gateway of the Qiandao Strait, and forming an iron tong with the Ximen Islands in the west, firmly sandwiching the Qiandao Strait in the hands of China.
