Chapter 477 Zhoushan Islands
Wulutus frowned and shook his head, which was still a little unconscious. Wang Zhi knelt down. Wulutus didn't say he could get up, so she had to kneel down.
"Pride!" After a while, Ulutus returned to his spirit and waved his hand, causing Wang Zhi and Sariyan to retreat.
When he arrived outside the hall and after conveying the order, Sariyan did not meet Wang Zhi's footsteps and kicked him slightly: "Is this going to the library?"
The library is a place used in the palace to store book books. It is full of everything. Almost all people with status in the court can borrow books and read them by relying on their waist cards.
If you are willing to contribute orphans to the library or help copy orphans, your borrowing authority will be increased. Although Wang Zhi’s family, where Wang Zhi is involved in merchants, the clan also attaches great importance to the inheritance of poetry and books. When boys get older, they will enter private schools in the clan, while girls will invite well-known female gentlemen to teach the rules.
Although there is no need for scientific examinations, you still need to know simple poems, songs and essays.
Wang Zhi is quiet and will go to the library to read books when he is idle. Sariyan is not a partner as an old man in the palace and knows this well. Therefore, when he sees the direction Wang Zhi is going, he asks in a familiar way.
"Yes! I just finished reading a storybook and was thinking about changing it!" Wang Zhi pointed to the words in his hand and replied quietly.
In front of this great companion, Wang Zhi did not dare to take off his airs.
"Oh! Your Highness has read this and he also commented that it is good!" Sariyan said as he didn't like it, and said with a little apology: "I'm thankful for my help today. I'm going to the kitchen to go and say goodbye first."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Wang Zhi listened, and couldn't help but look at the book in his hand a few more times, and said thank you for your advice when he was unhealthy.
Perhaps because of her quiet temperament, she had the least favor in the palace. Zhang Yuwan, who entered the palace, served Ulutus much more than her. To be favoured, she was not fighting or robbing, but to be frustrated, she was not enterprising.
Although there are few people in the palace, there will be no situation where Hua Kong is trying to compete for favor. However, no woman in the palace really lives for herself. Wang Zhi's attack is also for his brother who served as governor in the Jiangnan Province and the entire Wang family.
Therefore, being able to gain more favor is also beneficial to the Wang family's career.
Unfortunately, due to her personality, she can't use many ways.
Now she has some of the unfavorable points of Sariyan, and she can find some of Ulutus' preferences from the storybook. In the future, when she is accompanying her, she can also bring each other closer together.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel that it would not be a loss to help Sariyan today.
After autumn, the northern country became colder. On the sea, the wind became stronger. For Gao Mingshi, who was leading the fleet and only wanted to return to Beijing to work, this journey was not a wonderful one.
Compared with the coast of Ming Dynasty, there were so many pirates along the coast of Song Dynasty. From a sampan to a large size of more than ten fleets of merchants and thieves, Gao Mingshi and his party had encountered them.
The response method is also very simple. If you can beat it, you will fight it, and if you can't beat it, you will run away. If you really can't get it, open the fire tube or throw the fire thunder directly. Just don't want to trade ships, don't get it, and you will also have to knock down the enemy with ruthlessness. There are no dangers along the way.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient manpower, some of the merchant ships that were taken away could not be taken away, so the goods on them could only be left to flow.
By the time we entered the waters near Changguo County, we had already set off from Jilong Port on Ryukyu Island. It was also the time when the north was getting stronger, so the more winds we went north, the more resistance we were to move south.
Because of this return trip, there was also the purpose of inquiring about the internal information along the coast of Song State. So when we arrived in the waters of Changguo County, Gao Mingshi decided to let the fleet dock on the island for one night. First, it was for supply repairs, and second, it was for easy access to information.
Changguo County is the Zhoushan Islands in later generations. Currently, because it is close to Lin'an City, the maritime trade in Changguo County is quite developed. Even with the navy stationed, smuggling trade is banned.
Moreover, the people behind these secret transactions are still from the Maritime Affairs Office.
However, if you want to stop at the port of the government, you must have official documents from the government. Although Gao Mingshi was not from Song, he had issued official documents from the Song government in the navy of Ming Dynasty, and his identity was recognized by the government.
This was bought by the Secret Guard from the Song State government, absolutely regular.
Therefore, Gao Mingshi and his party were not rejected when docking. It was just that there were many ships waiting in and out of the port, and the waiting time was too long. In addition, the port was very dark, and each person had to pay a considerable docking fee, and the minor officials responsible for guiding and docking were also rewarded.
This also prompted those who came to dock only the big merchant ships and ordinary sampan boats to go to small ports without government offices.
When I got on the shore, the unique noise and hustle and bustle came to my face.
Selling food, drinking, juggling and making fun of people, attracting attention, and selling cloth and seafood were all crowded in places where the port was not big. Many laborers saw someone getting off the boat, and they surrounded them and asked if they wanted to help transport goods.
This is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty! However, there is also a man-powered conveyor belt device in the Ming Dynasty. All the workers have to do is to move the goods to the conveyor belt, wait for transport to the port warehouse, and then transport it to the warehouse.
However, the State of Song requires laborers to carry the entire process.
Rejecting these overly enthusiastic laborers, a group of people came to the ground. They could handle customs clearance documents to the Maritime Bureau, pay commercial taxes, introduce land, houses, and even slaves.
Moreover, after their hands, the taxes paid to the Maritime Mansion Bureau will be less, and the customs clearance efficiency will be greatly increased. If they do not want to enter the mainland of Song Dynasty, they can also help sell merchants to large commercial banks in the port.
But these Gao Mingshi and others don’t need them.
But these people were so enthusiastic that Gao Mingshi didn't want to be buzzed by the noise, so he chose a man who looked at him with a kind face and asked him to take his group around the port.
Although this requirement is not much oil and water, it is very common. Many merchants who come to the port for the first time will have this similar requirement.
"This guy has chosen the right person! In terms of familiarity with this world, I, Hu Zi, don't know. I think it's still late now. Do you want to play the top or stay in a hotel?" The man named Hu Zi, Yazi, boasted about his skills at Gao Mingshi and his party.
I saw that he didn't look old and was thin, a bit like a bamboo pole formed by long-term malnutrition. Gao Mingshi also saw that it was not easy for him to squeeze into a group of people, so he gave him an errand.
