According to the imperial decree, if you want to go to sea in the port of Dean, generally speaking, those large chambers of commerce and merchant groups have their own merchant ships and cargo ships, as long as they pay a tax to the government every year as a guarantee.

But ordinary small merchants who want to go to sea and do not have their own ships have to rent ships in the harbor.

Strong businessmen, can choose some ship to package the cargo ship down but the price is not expensive, after all, this kind of thing to go to sea, there is still a risk, the waves are ruthless, in case of shipwreck, the ship is wrecked, the loss can be great, so the price of the ship to charter the ship is not high, but to pay a very heavy deposit, if the ship returns safely, the deposit can be returned.

As for ordinary people, if you want to go to sea to Newhoven, visit relatives and friends on an island at sea, or go to sea for sightseeing, you must also submit a document to the port guard of Port Dean, pay a deposit, and make a contract before you can be released to sea.

First, it is to verify the identity, after all, the sea is far away from the mainland, in case some fugitive criminals go to sea and run away.

Second, going to sea is risky, in case of shipwreck, nine deaths, and a contract is made to indicate that it is voluntary to go to sea, so that there will be no bitter master to investigate afterwards. Otherwise, if you go to sea on a boat and die in a shipwreck, and your family members come to the boat to cry, that's not okay.

"I didn't expect to go to sea here, but I actually had to make a real-name ......," Chen Daolin smiled bitterly.

It's okay if he's a black household, but Lodel's identity is never visible. Otherwise, it will attract the pursuit of the Liszt family, you must know that a big port city like Port Dean has a branch of the Liszt family's chamber of commerce!

However, the guy in the shop also said: After all, no matter where you are, there is always a gray area. Although the laws and regulations on going to sea in Port Dean are very strict, there are always some "special" deposits.

In the port, there are also some black boats, and some merchant ships of small chambers of commerce. Some are fishermen's fishing boats. They are also willing to take risks and do illegal business. No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to pay, you will be willing to take you to sea.

It's just that this kind of industry is a black area after all, and there are mixed fish and dragons. The security issue is greatly uninsured.

I heard that some black-hearted boatmen are simply some thieves, and after deceiving the guests to get on the boat, they will sit on the ground and raise the price when they get to the sea, and forcibly extort them...... You won't pay. I will throw you into the sea! Let the guests suffer a loss and do not dare to report to the official, after all, if you go to sea illegally, if you report to the official, you will be punished first.

There are even some vicious people, if they see that the guests are carrying a lot of money, they simply start to kill people at sea, directly kill people, tie a stone and throw it into the sea, and they can't find the body when they die!

When Chen Daolin heard this, his heart moved. He's not afraid of anything black and black. He is also a magician, and there is a powerful wolf warrior as a personal servant. Where will you be afraid of what black eats black?

He listened to the story of the shopkeeper, and deliberately showed a look of interest, pretending to be very interested in these private ships, and even threw out a gold coin.

Chen Daolin guessed very accurately, many of the hotels in this kind of port city are very colluded with those who do private ships, this shop pù guy saw that Chen Daolin was interested, first pretended to say some irrelevant gossip with Chen Daolin, and determined that Chen Daolin was speaking with a foreign accent, so he quietly patted Chen Daolin's chest, saying that he could introduce a reliable private ship.

Chen Daolin smiled faintly, threw out another gold coin, and the guy immediately left happily.

Chen Daolin went back to continue eating, and before the meal was finished, the guy ran back, followed by a stout and short man, and walked to Chen Daolin's table, the man glanced at Chen Daolin, and then looked at the three girls sitting at the table, a smile flashed between his eyebrows, he nodded to Chen Daolin, and sat down directly without waiting for Chen Daolin to greet him.

"Guest, this is a shipowner in the port, I heard that you have a business to do, so I will bring him here, and the two of you can talk slowly. The man smiled and stepped back.

Chen Daolin raised his eyelids and looked at the man a few times. Although the man was short in stature, he was very muscular, and his face was red and oily. And at first glance, he begged for a living at sea all the year round, with a faint layer of moisture on his skin, his clothes were very old, and his clothes had a heavy fishy smell.

"This old man, you want to go to sea?" he said, his voice hoarse.

Chen Daolin nodded reservedly: "It's to go to sea." ”

"Dare to ask where to go?"

"Half Moon Island. ”

The man smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Half Moon Island is very close to the pearl production area, this lord, is he going to buy pearls?"

Chen Daolin also smiled and nodded: "Yes." He glanced at the guy, "You have a boat?"

"If I didn't have a boat, I wouldn't be sitting here. The man lowered his voice and smiled, then put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if it's the first time you've come here, but according to the rules, there are some things I have to make clear first, I don't ask my lord, you don't have to ask where my ship came from." In short, I have the boat, you have the money, and we will each take what we need. ”

Chen Daolin nodded.

The man continued: "My ship is not big, and I really dare not take it if you do other business, but if you do pearl business, that ship is enough to load." I don't know if you're going to charter a boat or share a boat with other guests?"

"I like to be at ease. Chen Daolin smiled faintly.

The man's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "If you charter a boat, I have boatmen and sailors on board, and everyone has to beg for food." There is a risk in going to sea, and if I am shipwrecked, I will lose all my money, and I will have to lose several lives! If I am caught by the garrison, I will be ruined, so I ......"

"You make an offer. Chen Daolin shook his head: "I like to go straight." ”

"A trip to Half Moon Island, a chartered boat back and forth, is ten days. The fare is fifty gold coins! If you want to stop at Half Moon Island, we can stop at Half Moon Island and wait for you, but you will have to charge an extra five gold coins a day! After all, the people on my ship will spend money to stay on Half Moon Island, and it will cost you to eat, drink, and Lazar. ”

Chen Daolin smiled: "Five gold coins a day?

You must know that according to the price of goods in the Roland Empire and the purchasing power of gold coins, five gold coins is enough for a medium family to earn for a year.

The man furrowed his eyebrows and said lightly: "This master, I will also tell the truth." It's a lot of work. My price is not cheap though. But they follow the rules! You may not know that there are quite a few people who do this business in Port Dean, but when you meet a black-hearted person, be careful and give your life! I have been doing this for many years. Although the price is a little more expensive, I take money to do things, and I never do black-hearted things, you can go and inquire. I'm in business, and I'm talking about integrity. Moreover, I have been walking the sea all year round, and I am very familiar with Half Moon Island, where I have friends who sell many pearls, and you took my boat to do the pearl business, and I can also introduce you to a few friends who sell pearls. ”

Chen Daolin smiled. What this guy said, he didn't care if it was true or not, and deliberately bargained at the moment. It's just for a few more words.

"Well, the price can be set like that. I wonder when you'll be ready to go to sea?"

The man named Hook smiled slightly: "This is a coincidence. I have just taken over a business today, but people are not leaving, and my ship is ready to go to sea, and I have fresh water and food in stock. If you say a word here at any time, we can go to sea. ”

Chen Daolin's eyes lit up at this time.

Without hesitation, he immediately stood up and glanced at the man: "Then what are you waiting for? ”

“...... Now?" Hook froze.

He didn't expect this guest to be in such a hurry, could it be some kind of fugitive?

But he did this, even if it was a real fugitive's business, so who cared about that?

Hu Ke immediately calmed down, glanced at Chen Daolin, and said lightly: "This is naturally no problem...... Rules, pay half of the money first. ”

Chen Daolin laughed, took out a bag of gold coins directly from his arms and shook it: "There are thirty gold coins here, which will be used as a deposit, and the rest will be given to you on the return trip." ”

Hook took it, didn't open it, and directly took it into his arms, this bold move made Chen Daolin have a good impression of him.

Chen Daolin and a few girls immediately got up and drove out of the hotel and drove the carriage, and this Hook himself rode a horse to lead the way.

All the way to the port, to the port area, there are soldiers on duty here, this Hook obviously has a way, go up and say a few words to the other party, those soldiers waved and let go.

When he arrived at the port area, Chen Daolin looked at the huge wharf, there were hundreds of boats of all sizes moored, among which there were quite a few large sail ships, which were very spectacular, and he couldn't help but sigh at a glance.

Nima, it's like "Age of Discovery"!

In the night, the sail is connected to the sail, the sail on the harbor is densely shadowed, and a lot of freight yards have been built in the distance on the shore, even at night, the lights are bright, many freight yards are busy loading goods, and some sailors and crews on duty are drinking in the port.

The group followed Hook through the docks, and finally came to a piece of the shore, which was a little far from the area of the galleons, and the ships moored on the shore were much smaller.

A house on the shore was lit up, Chen Daolin followed Hook to the front, and someone inside came out to answer, Hook got off the horse and said to Chen Daolin: "Master, this is my freight yard, your carriage and horses can be stored here first, I promise not to lose you, and we will feed you this horse." ”

"You are very well served. Chen Daolin couldn't help but smile.

"It's just a mouthful of food. Hook smiled faintly.

......

Hook's ship is not too big, but in Chen Daolin's opinion, it is already very small. The boat was more than 10 meters long and had fishing nets hanging on it.

Before getting on the boat, Hook and Chen Daolin approved the number of people, and Chen Daolin was here, with a servant (Wolf Warrior Chuck) and three female dependents. Plus an iron cage pet (giant wolf).

Such a combination made Hook, who has been doing this kind of business all year round, a little muttering in his heart, how can a businessman go to sea to do business with so many female dependents...... The worst thing is that there is still a wolf with him.

But who has money to eliminate disasters for others, this Hook is very disciplined, and he will never ask what he shouldn't ask.

In addition to Hook, there were six sailors on his ship, and after carrying the iron cage containing the giant wolf into the bottom cargo hold, the group boarded.

Hook's ship had cleaned out cabins for Chen Daolin and others to live in, and some people even brought water and food.

Luo Daer, this little girl, went to sea for the first time, where was she willing to be bored in the cabin? With Chen Daolin in mind, she ran to the deck to watch, shouting to see how the ship went to sea.

Hook seemed to be accustomed to such scenes, and ignored them, beckoning his men to get busy, collecting their fishing nets and pulling sails......

Chen Daolin pulled Rodelle to stand on the side of the boat and watched them busy, and suddenly heard Hook scolding from behind, as if he was teaching his subordinates.

Chen Daolin didn't care about it, but only vaguely heard Hook's voice coming intermittently:

"Don't be angry...... Behave...... Bastard Boy ......"

After hearing a few words, Chen Daolin wanted to walk away, but after only taking a step, he suddenly heard another voice coming, and his heart moved, so he stopped.

Sure enough, he saw Hook walking out from behind, and behind him, a sneaky young man followed behind with a sneering expression on his face.

Chen Daolin looked at it, and Chen Daolin couldn't help but smile.

It's the guy who cheated Lordelle out of money with Black Pearls!

Luo Daer also saw this person, and the girl immediately opened her mouth to shout, but Chen Daolin grabbed her and dragged her behind her. He took a few quick steps back and slipped into the cabin.

Outside the cabin, Hook and the man walked by, and Hook hated himself and said: "You kid is greedy for cheapness! You follow me to the sea, make some money, although it is hard, but you are at ease! Don't go to the dock all day long, those little liars mingle! Let's just rely on the sea to eat the sea, do those things that are cheated and abducted, and sooner or later we will get into trouble!"

The two walked quickly past the cabin, and Chen Daolin let go of the hand covering Luo Deer's mouth.

"What are you doing?" said Rodelle in annoyance, "That man is ......"

"I know. Chen Daolin said lightly.

"Then what are you pulling me for! I ......"

Chen Daolin sighed and glanced at this Nizi: "Miss, don't you know that we are on someone's boat now." ”

"That'...... What are you afraid of!" Rodelle gritted her teeth and said, "You're a magician! Can't you deal with a few fishermen?"

Chen Daolin spread his hands: "I'm not afraid of fighting and killing...... It's easy to beat them up, but what about when you offend them? Is it good to tear your face? Miss, let me ask you, do you know how to sail?
