As Joe said.

The man Hesse sent to Löwgang to assist him was too capable.

Whether it is the site selection and construction of the permanent fortress, or the site selection and construction of the three forts of fish belly, fish intestine and fish maw, or even the preparation and selection of personnel for the town hall and town council, as well as the reorganization and training of the marine police and anti-smuggling team...... The men sent by Hesse kept everything in order and without any chaos.

This is what a big family should be.

So, after walking around the fort site at the permanent fort and the nearest fish belly wharf, standing for a while, and having a photograph taken by one of the Tolum Port Post photographers stationed at Loew Heights, Joe took the men to the Sweet Shrimp Tavern.

Under the hospitality of the old priest, Joe and a group of cronies drank a little delicious cherry wine, played cards for a while, and Joe even won a dozen silver finnigs.

At lunchtime, the group enjoyed a delicious seafood feast and charged the bill to the Löfgang sub-office.

At less than one o'clock in the afternoon, a fast frigate hung up half-sail and left the old dock of Loewgang with a large fishing boat in tow.

Behind this medium-sized fishing boat, there are also two fully loaded fast frigates!

In the past, ninety percent of the smuggled goods in Tulun Port flowed through the old wharf of Loewgang and the three large wharves of fish belly, fish intestine and fish maw.

The port of Tulum was the only outlet for the empire to the sea in the southern storm. Taking control of Loew Heights is equivalent to controlling almost all of the maritime smuggling in the southern part of the empire.

This represents an astronomical amount of wealth...... This wealth can be handed over to the empire, or it can be left in the local area, or even put into private pockets, and how it will be distributed naturally depends on the plans of the Duke of Ross, Hesse, and now the Council of Seven in Port Tulum.

It is precisely because this represents an astronomical amount of wealth that the newly formed Marine Police Force of Loew Gang actually has two old-fashioned third-class battleships and supporting battleships; The anti-smuggling squad at Loew Gang is equipped with twelve old-fashioned fast frigates.

Whether it is the Marine Police Force or the Anti-Smuggling Team, from top to bottom, they are all Joe's people, they are all members of the Rittal family.

And Joe, who has never been too disciplined.

If you go out to sea to fish, you can't say that you will encounter any danger, so mobilizing three fast frigates for close protection is obviously a very reasonable thing for Joe, who was shot on the street a while ago.

Offshore less than three miles offshore.

The sun is shining, the sea is blue, the breeze is gently blowing, and the small waves crash against the hull of the boat, making a subtle sound.

The three frigates were seven or eight hundred feet apart, lined up in the direction of the open sea.

Joe's fishing boat was on the side of the coast, shirtless, shorts, barefoot, Joe was carrying a large fishing rod, and he waved the rod vigorously with great interest, and he heard a 'boom', and the hook with the bait was thrown nearly a hundred feet away.

"Fishing, I'm a master...... It's not that I brag, I learned the skills with Gorkin, but then Gorkin's sea fishing was not as good as me! ”

Joe triumphantly boasted, "When I was ten years old, I caught two hundred pounds of salmon!" ”

On the deck of the fishing boat, Lan Mujin sat quietly in the shadow of the door of the cabin with his hands on his chest, his eyes squinted, as if he was dozing.

Lan Bellflower was quite interested in carrying a fishing rod, a little rusty and busy for a while, and finally with the help of a sailor, he threw the fishing rod and threw the hook out.

"Seriously, I've never fished with a rod." Lan Kikyo smiled brightly: "I'm more used to diving, hunting directly with a knife, or hunting fish in other ways...... Fishing rod, it's the first time. ”

Joe raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lan Kikyo.

He remembered the two brothers, Lan Kiyo and Lan Muhibiscus, and that whole bunch of skills like 'survival in the wild'.

Slightly jealous of the pout, Joe looked at the Lan Bellflower who was holding the fishing rod a little nervously, and deliberately amplified his voice and laughed: "Where, who will count?" By dinner time, who catches the fewest fish...... A penalty for a barrel of rum! ”

Fishing with a rod for the first time?

At this moment, Joe's heart is full of banter malice.

Billy, who was fiddling with a large spreader, looked up sharply and looked at Joe with great concern: "Boss, the one who loses, is he punished for asking for a barrel of rum?" ”

Joe gave Billy a blank look: "No, whoever loses, whoever drinks a barrel of rum!" ”

Billy grinned reassuringly: "It's not a penalty for buying alcohol, but a penalty for drinking?" Ah, wise chief, I approve of your offer! ”

'Boom', Billy and a couple of chubby cops help him put a set of floating hooks into the sea.

White buoys the size of a fist float on the surface of the sea, gently pushed by the waves and drifting into the distance. There are hundreds of such buoys on long ropes, and underneath each buoy is a fishing line with sweet bait hanging from it.

Billy and his companions smirked.

How can they fish with a sea rod and as much and as quickly as they use such large tackle?

On the fishing boat, Yaya Peter and a few companions were also a little rusty, and with the help of the sailors, they easily threw the hook into the sea. They laughed and cheered each other on, but they couldn't be the unlucky ones who wanted to drink a barrel of rum.

In addition to Billy, several other chubby cops gathered at the stern of the boat.

There is a set of pulleys designed to catch large fish, and they hang bloody fresh animal meat on steel hooks the size of a human head and shaped like blooming flowers, and then throw the hooks into the sea.

The pulley turned, and the thumb-thick rope was quickly released, and soon it was more than a thousand feet long.

A few policemen finished their work, and one guy shouted happily: "Dear chief, the one who catches the least will be punished for drinking, so what about the one who catches the most?" ”

Joe stared intently at the buoy on the sea in the distance, and shouted without looking back: "The one that catches the most fish?" The girl from the Sweet Shrimp Tavern, tonight, pick at will, as long as you have that physical strength, pick at will...... Ha ha...... Keep the accounts of the sub-bureau! ”

The fishing boat burst into merry laughter, and the captain of the large fishing boat poked his head out of the wheelhouse: "Dear Lord Joe, what about us?" ”

Joe waved his hand violently: "Everyone on the ship, including the people on the frigate, everyone come together!" Ha ha! ”

Joe smiled happily: "Then, the number of places increases, increases." The least ten people who catch fish have to drink a barrel of rum each...... The ten who caught the most fish, go to the Sweet Shrimp Tavern tonight, and all the expenses will be recorded in the branch account! ”

On the fishing boat, louder and louder laughter rang out.

The boatswain climbed to the mast with great interest, waved two signal flags, and waved them at the frigate hundreds of feet away.

On the masts of the three frigates, the sailors in charge of the lookout raised the signal flag in their hands at the same time and sent back the signal signal for inquiry.

The boatswain's boatswain replied quickly and firmly.

So, in the distance, laughter and shouts came from the three frigates at the same time, and the sailors who were standing lazily on the deck basking in the sun were also busy.

On Joe's fishing rod, there was a sudden burst of force, Joe's eyes widened suddenly, and he laughed happily: "Haha, I'm here, there's a little cutie who has taken the bait, oh, oh, it should be a big guy, big guy...... Prepare to copy the net, copy the net ......"

Two sailors came running briskly with a net, and Jo was about to battle it with the hooked fish, when Laprahi's shrill voice suddenly rang out.

"Dear Crimson...... Oh, poor Laplasi, this day has been waiting for your call! And you don't! ”

"I know you have a very lovely, very charming traveler's check...... The numbers above are very shocking! ”

"You didn't think about exchanging it for a jingling gold coin, or a swiping banknote, and then ...... from me Gain some valuable knowledge? ”

"I've been waiting for your call since you got this lovely, charming traveler's check, and you've been wasting your life! See what you're doing? As Crimson, you're fishing! You're fishing! ”

Joe shuddered at Laprahi's abrupt voice, and with a sharp 'click' he squeezed the rod in his hand. The big fish that had already been hooked struggled hard, and immediately dragged the broken fishing rod and fled quickly.

"Oh! No! My little cutie! Joe yelled angrily!

"Oh! I'm sorry! Your fish ran away...... So, should you think about it? That check has been lying lonely and empty in the pocket of your chest for more than half a month! ”

Joe's face was a little ugly, he looked at the powder left over from the fishing rod in his hand, and sighed heavily: "Another fishing rod...... Let me think about it, think about it......"

A small boat, only twenty feet long, and a single-masted boat that could only accommodate four or five people, with full sails, sailed in the direction of the port of Tulum in the east.

The plenipotentiary envoy of the Ice Sea Kingdom, tall and thin, Sherlock, like Joe, was shirtless, wearing a pair of shorts, holding a delicate small pipe, holding a thin fishing rod, standing on the bow of the boat.

As the boat approached quickly, Sherlock pleasantly spat out a smoke ring and greeted Joe from afar.

"Aha, I really didn't expect to meet ...... here. Excellency Joe, what have you learned? ”

Joe's face twitched, he shook the fishing rod he had just replaced, and said dryly to Sherlock, "It is a coincidence that the benevolent Muteste is here...... Are you ...... Ah, Your Excellency Sherlock, I really didn't expect that a big man like you would be free...... Yo, what a good harvest! ”

At Sherlock's feet, there was a large wooden barrel, in which seven or eight sea fish more than a foot long and two feet long were struggling.

Joe looked at the sea fish in the barrel with a little jealousy, and then pouted, it was only seven or eight sea fish.

Sherlock's boat approached, and he laughed loudly, "It's been quiet lately, so I'm busy...... Lord Joe, why don't you go together? Your boat, that's a good one. ”

Sherlock's gaze swept over the large fishing boats that were more than one hundred and twenty feet long at Joe's feet, and then skimmed over the three fast frigates in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

In a few moments, Sherlock was standing beside Joe and threw the hook out with all his might.

"Your Excellency Qiao, in Donglu's words...... We're really fated to, huh?! ”

Joe froze, then gave Sherlock a blank look.
