XXIII. Ports

"You don't blame me all these years!" Wang Fence finally asked the question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

"No, we work well together, don't we?" Yanshu asked rhetorically.

Wang Lifen nodded with a smile: "It seems that you are ready, I didn't think it before, but now I am really a little reluctant." ”

"Is it reluctant to give up this person, or is it reluctant to give up this helper?"

"Yes, I just think, you are my fate, and I am your homecoming." Wang Fence sighed and said.

Yanshu said a little unnaturally: "It's not a big boss, why are you so emotional?" Let's go! ”

"Where are you going?"

"There is no target for the time being, let's go northwest! I heard you say I called there. ”

"If you don't have a goal, let's go to Anhall Harbor! Two hundred miles to the west, there were often large merchant ships docking at the port to trade. ”

"You've been in the mountains all these years, Port Anhall, which should allow you to learn more about the outside world. I heard that the people there were very wealthy, and they could get a lot of good things, jewelry, beautiful women, sharp weapons, and rare fine food like horses in captivity, and it was easy to think of them. ”

"It's a good choice, so I'll go there first." Words and books are sure.

Wang Fence's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, by the way, take it with you!" I think you can write down everything you see out there and show me, right? I'll miss you. ”

After speaking, Wang Fence handed over a mountain eagle. Yanshu saw a different meaning, and smiled slightly: "Are you sure it's because you miss me?" ”

"Of course, yes, every day."

Yanshu jumped off the fortress and was about to leave, but Wang Lifen hurriedly asked, "You will write from you, right?" ”

Yan Shu was noncommittal, looked at the neatly armored soldiers in the fortress and said, "You are a qualified lord. With that, he left.

"Stinky boy."

Two hundred miles of land is not a problem for those who are accustomed to crossing mountains and mountains, and this way also avoids the realm of fierce beasts such as the Qi Demon Savage, the Giant Divine Eagle, and the Night Star Leopard.

At noon on the third day, Yanshu arrived at the port of Anhall.

The port of Anhor, located in the western blue of the Blue Feather Forest, was not occupied by the Kingdom of Kotai in the true sense of the word, but was administered by the local natives.

However, the port lords are still under the management of the Northern Han Prefecture of the Kingdom of Ketai.

Of course, obedience is not a simple submission, but there is an order issued by the Northern Cold State, and there is a standard for how many indigenous servants and how many resources to provide to the Northern Cold State every year.

This has to mention the means of the Beihan Prefecture, when it first started to support the port of Anhall, not only did not collect various resources, but also provided subsidies.

Later, step by step, he encroached on the power and resources of Anhol Harbor, helped the obedient natives rebelled, and year after year, the lord of Anhol Harbor was completely raised into an obedient Northern Hanzhou guard dog.

However, the status of Anhall Port is very low, and the kingdom is divided into levels, and Anhall Port is undoubtedly the lowest existence.

Obviously in their own territory, the natives saw those people from the state capital, regardless of officials and businessmen, they all had to bow their heads.

It is conceivable that those who are sent to the state capital, the so-called servants, are different from slaves.

This is the hierarchy of the kingdom, the lord of the port of Anhall, since there is no official division of the kingdom, the lord's house must also be lowered for the noble merchants who come from other state capitals.

The history of the port of Anhall is told by the wide stone bridge, where five horse-drawn carriages can travel side by side, and the smoothed stone slabs tell the history of the port of Anhall, and under the stone bridge is the Anhall River, which leads to the sea.

The huge and ancient stone gates, flanked by the guards of the harbor, were much better equipped although they were in the Blue Feather Forest, like Deadwood Mountain.

The special armor is full of heaviness, and carrying a sharp battle axe on your back also gives people a strong sense of intimidation.

"Hillbilly, where did you fight?" At the gate of Anhall Harbor, a square-headed guard asked.

"Dongxia Village in the southwest."

"Let's do it."

"In exchange for supplies."

The square-headed guard looked at the bundle of fur behind Yan Shu, and said with disgust: "It's not worth two dollars in the trading house, you can stay for three days, go to the card first and see if you see it, the widest building in the middle is not, which one is high?" The guard casually picked up a card from the basket and handed it to the book.

"Is it the one with the point?"

"You're really a mountain cannon, that's the Port Lord's Mansion, there's a row on the left. There's a medallion on it, and it's spinning there. Hurry up, people will get off work later, and they can't stay overnight in the port without a good license. ”

"Oh, Brother Xie."

It seems that the guards are not too difficult to speak, and when they enter the gate, the port buildings are mostly made of stones, and all the buildings are surrounded by mountains in an arc.

On the right is the port square, where two merchant ships nearly 100 meters wide are docked, like two oversized giant beasts, which makes Yan Shu who saw the big ship for the first time can't help but tremble.

There are some large and small fishing boats and passenger boats behind, and then continue to go forward is the office that Yanshu is looking for, it is almost noon, and there are not many people in the office, Yanshu handed over the doorman's card, and received a temporary residence card.

Yanshu originally wanted to ask about long-term temporary residence, but the eldest sister who did the card didn't wait for Yanshu to speak, so she pointed to the side, and Yanshu understood at a glance.

There is a stone monument over there, which mentions temporary and long-term issues. Short-term temporary stays include travel, foreign visitors and transactions, business trips, etc. Long-term residence must be a local trade guild, a merchant, a farmer, a city guard, etc., or a gold coin that has been granted long-term residency, and a person who has made a great contribution to the port can be authorized.

After understanding the general situation, Yanshu walked towards the transaction, and looked at the price of the trading line, which is the main purpose of the Yanshu's trip.

After a year of body refining, Yanshu has already touched the threshold of the fifth order of body refining, this time to see if he can exchange it for some of the essence food he desperately needs, maybe he can break through to the fifth order qualitative transformation realm in the short term.

In the Dry Tree Mountain, it is almost isolated from the outside world, everyone barters for what they need, and they don't need money at all.

When he came to the trading line, Yanshu put a bundle of fur on the ground and said: "Boss, look at this goods, they are all high-grade furs, see how much they are worth." ”

The boss was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, glanced at the line of words and books, and said with a little disgust: "Three gold coins." ”

Yan Shu was a little speechless and said: "I came from over there, is three gold coins too little, I didn't sell the five yuan that people give, and I don't want to sell five gold coins for one night's accommodation." Look at my goods, it's not bad! ”

The fat man was a little impatient and said, "Just three yuan to sell or not." ”

Yanshu mentioned fur and wanted to try another one, but after asking several of them, the price was about the same, and there were even two pieces.

Yanshu thought that it was still early anyway, so he might as well try to sell it himself, so he put the fur on the ground not far from the trading house and began to sell.

The fat man who had just sold three gold coins, when he saw the Yanshu selling, his eyes seemed to be about to eat the Yanshu, and he didn't know what to say to the little worker in his shop, so he saw the little worker trotting all the way in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yanshu didn't care for a while, and after a while, two people in luxurious clothes came to Yanshu's stall and asked about fur.

"The price is easy to say, the big five yuan, the small three yuan, you can choose whatever you want." Yanshu said with a smile. He also saw the sign of the trading house when he bought something, and the price was clearly written on it, and the book was just copied, so that the bundle of fur could be sold for at least more than 50 gold coins, and he secretly cursed in his heart that the trading house was really black.
