Chapter 141 arrived smoothly
I don’t know what Hainan Island is like in this era?
Zhou Hansheng stood beside her, seeing that she looked happy and in a good mood, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect the scenery on the sea to be pretty good."
"Yeah!" Zhao Liya nodded with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen it, and it's much better than I imagined."
Zhou Hansheng: "I heard that people who take a boat for the first time are prone to seasickness. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."
Zhao Liya felt sweet in her heart, and nodded: "Yeah."
"Don't stare at the sea surface for a long time, it's easy to get dizzy."
"good!"
"When you get to the place, remember to follow me and don't leave easily."
"I will, Brother Zhou, don't think I'm annoying."
"of course not!"
“.”
The two were chatting and laughing, trying to speculate. Yu Xiaofang was standing next to them, looking at this and that, and suddenly felt that he was out of place and that he was redundant.
He felt that this feeling was so strange and inexplicable, he opened his mouth and tried to interject a sentence or two to prove that he was not redundant, but there was no chance for him to interject.
He tried several times without success.
He couldn't get in the conversation between the two of them.
Yu Xiaofang sighed secretly, and left silently. Forget it, he is redundant.
At night, the sky is full of stars, and the experienced ship boss can identify the direction. Although the speed of the ship has slowed down, it has not stopped.
Although it is in the inland sea, it is vast and unreliable. Since the weather is good and the sea is calm, it is better to continue moving than to stop and repair. The sooner you dock, the better.
Zhou Hansheng was worried that Zhao Liya would be scared when she saw the dark sea at night, and said that the wind was strong at night, which stopped Zhao Liya in the cabin and did not allow her to go to the deck again.
When the night was getting darker, let her go to bed early.
"Replenish your energy and recharge your batteries. Although you are good at martial arts, it may not be easy to go into the mountains on Hainan Island. Take advantage of this time to rest and rest!"
This was his kindness, Zhao Liya nodded with a smile and agreed with a "hmm".
She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but who knew that the boat was running smoothly, and the rhythmic and gentle shaking made people fall asleep instead, a good night's dream.
Woke up the next day, lucky enough to watch a sunrise over the sea.
The beauty is beyond description. With Zhou Hansheng by her side again, Zhao Liya felt that this trip was really profitable!
Before noon, the big ship docked.
This is the port of Haikou Town.
Although this port is still desolate, it is better than that of Guangzhan. At least you can see ships coming in and out, and there are scattered people coming and going on the port wharf, all of whom are buying or selling fish.
Zhao Liya thought, whether it is Guangzhan or Haikou Town, some good places are wasted. It would be great to develop shipping.
It's a pity that Daqin didn't pay much attention to shipping and trade. Instead, because pirates came from the sea from time to time, they burned, killed and looted coastal towns. They had deep malice towards the sea. No need to even think about it.
According to her inquiries, Zhong Jing said by the way that there are indeed some big families on the coast who are engaged in overseas trade, but the risks are extremely high. In addition to natural factors such as weather effects, there are also pirate robberies that may occur at any time. It has never been able to develop.
It is very likely that the money earned by working hard for several years in shipping will be lost when they meet a group of pirates.
He just wiped out a large group of pirates last year, and basically wiped out this large group of pirate forces, but it’s hard to say whether any fish slipped through the net, although everything has been peaceful since then.
Furthermore, even if creatures like pirates are completely wiped out, new ones will be born. Unless the imperial court establishes a formal maritime military force, patrols and manages it frequently, and takes the initiative to attack.
But the investment required is too great. If you think about it with your toes, you know that the court cannot be happy.
After all, the capital city is thousands of miles away. Doesn’t the emperor have money to keep flowers? How could it possibly hit here.
Zhong Jing made some casual remarks, and Zhao Liya remembered them in his heart. She didn't have much thought of worrying about the court, she just felt it was a pity, and wanted to make money.
If you want to make money at sea, you must first pave a road at sea. it's messed up
The boatmen stayed in the port to guard the big ship, Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng and other 70 or 80 people disembarked and went ashore.
The sea voyage of one day and one night was quite smooth. Although the weather was calm, for everyone who is used to living down-to-earth on land, when they step on the ground, it still makes people feel refreshed and feel at ease for no reason.
"finally reached!"
"yes!"
"This is Hainan Island. Except that the sky is bluer and the sun is hotter, it seems to be the same as our seaside!"
Everyone looked around curiously, talking and laughing.
Little did they know that their group also caused passers-by to secretly look at them curiously.
Although they were dressed in casual clothes, it was difficult for them to completely restrain their sergeant aura. In addition, it was rare for so many people to come to Hainan Island, so they naturally attracted attention.
It's just that everyone didn't dare to look at them blatantly, for fear of being beaten. After all, the group of them looked very difficult to mess with.
In order not to be so conspicuous, everyone simply broke up into several groups and went to the city one after another. They planned to stay in the city for one night, and then hired a car tomorrow morning before heading to Yanluo Mountain.
The population of Haikou Town is very small, a main road may not be more than one kilometer from the beginning to the end, and there may not be more than 30,000 residents in the city. There are only two half-old inns.
There are so many of them, one inn can't accommodate them at all, and they live in two, almost all of them are full.
The shopkeepers and guys of the two inns were very happy—there was a big customer, and the one-month turnover was completed ahead of schedule.
The best room was naturally given to Zhao Liya. Zhou Hansheng lived next door to her, and Hu Ling and Yu Xiaofang lived next door to her.
After settling down, Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng, and Hu Lingzhang even went out for a stroll. Although there are few people here, Zhao Liya is still very interested, so everyone stays with her.
After all, everyone is here, so it’s good to have a look.
Although the streets in Haikou Town are small and the population is small, they are neat and clean, and most of the residents are simple. The two parties can generally understand the language, and a small amount of incomprehension will not affect the communication in the slightest.
They simply ate dinner outside before going back. Coconut chicken and white-cut goose are delicious, as well as various shellfish, steamed unknown sea fish, and the boss’s boiled shrimp, which are extremely sweet and cheap.
You know, these are all wild wild seafood with the original taste, and they are all very fresh. It is not cheap to put them aside for future generations, and you may not be able to buy them if you have money.
Zhao Liya ate very happily, with a great sense of satisfaction of "making money".
