Chapter 354
"Sir, the Youbeiping County is ahead."
On the sea, the servants walked into the cabin to report.
Mi Zhu opened his eyes, got off the bed, and came to the deck.
He stretched his body for a long time, trying his best to get rid of the fatigue of the journey.
Starting from the coast of Xuzhou, the boat went north all the way.
Although it is necessary to bypass Qingzhou along the coastline.
But it is much faster than on land.
"Huh?"
Mi Zhu looked at the sea not far away, "When did Youzhou have so many ships?"
On the sea, many ships sailed back and forth, which made him frown.
After a quick count, the number made him feel puzzled.
According to his previous understanding, there were not many ships on the Youzhou side.
That is, there were some ships traveling to Qingzhou in Liaodong.
There were not so many large ships along the coast.
Looking around, those ships were much larger than his.
At least thirty steps long.
"What on earth is going on?"
Mi Zhu was a little confused.
However, those ships did not give him more time to think.
While he was stunned, the ships on the sea came quickly.
Surrounding Mi Zhu's ship.
"Stop the ship and accept the inspection of the Tanghai government!"
Taishi Ci's voice echoed on the sea through the iron trumpet in his hand.
This was the first time Mi Zhu had seen such a scene.
Swish!
As he watched, many ropes flew from the opposite ship.
Click!
The ropes with claws were hooked on the side of the ship. The Tanghai soldiers pulled hard and let the two ships gradually approach.
Mi Zhu frowned a little more.
Taishi Ci took the lead and jumped onto the deck of the unfamiliar ship.
With a quick glance, he locked the figure of the ship owner and strode over.
"Who are you? Where are you from?"
A loud voice sounded beside Mi Zhu's ears, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"I am Mi Zhu from Xuzhou, with the courtesy name Zizhong."
"I heard that there are new and exotic goods for sale in Tanghai County, Youbeiping County, so I came here to purchase them."
"Are you doing business?" Taishi Ci looked the visitor up and down.
The other person exuded a faint elegant temperament.
Completely different from merchants like Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.
This person must have a background!
"Follow me." Taishi Ci ordered, "I will take you to meet the chief business officer of the Tanghai Direct Administrative Region."
"Thank you, sir." Mi Zhu returned the greeting respectfully, and did not forget to wave to the servant.
The servant immediately handed over a small wooden box.
Mi Zhu smiled and handed it out with both hands, "This is my gift, I hope you will accept it."
"I advise you to put it away!" Taishi Ci's face suddenly turned cold.
Such a huge change made Mi Zhu's heart tremble.
How come the big man who was easy to talk to just now suddenly changed his appearance?
It was as if he wanted to eat him.
This puzzled him.
Gifts work everywhere, why don't they work here?
"We in Tanghai don't buy this!" Taishi Ci snorted coldly.
"If you want to get things done, just follow the rules and regulations announced by the Tanghai government and implement them honestly."
"No official will make things difficult for you."
"Even if you are a caravan from outside, you will not be criticized."
"But if you want to use money to bribe Tanghai officials, you will definitely be convicted of bribery."
"Since you are a first-time offender, I will not pursue you."
"But if there is a next time, you will be severely punished!"
The extremely harsh rebuke sounded on the deck, irritating Mi Zhu's ears.
He couldn't believe it.
A gift that is very useful wherever you go in the Han Dynasty, but it doesn't work in Tanghai?
And you have to be convicted?
This...
It really made him see a new wonder.
Under the leadership of Taishi Ci, Mi Zhu boarded the ship of the Tanghai government.
"It's so big!"
As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Mi Zhu exclaimed.
Looking around, it was much bigger than he imagined.
The ship broke away from the ship that Mi Zhu brought and headed towards the dock.
"It's very fast!"
Mi Zhu exclaimed again.
There were many ships busy on the sea around.
Mi Zhu leaned on the edge of the deck and looked over, "Are they fishing?"
"Of course." Taishi Ci nodded.
"We are rich in all kinds of dried seafood in Tanghai, and the price is reasonable, and we are honest and fair. You can consider purchasing some."
Mi Zhu secretly remembered.
However, the official in front of him seemed to have no objection to doing business.
This is completely different from the officials in other places in the Han Dynasty.
The Han officials who regarded business as inferior never talked about these trivial matters.
Even he, a wealthy businessman from Xuzhou, was lowly and humble in the eyes of the officials.
He had nothing to do with the officials.On the same level.
But the Tanghai official in front of him gave him a different feeling.
Whether it was the gift he rejected before or the talk now.
It made him feel that he was treated equally.
That was something he had never felt before in other places.
This feeling was very good.
"Wow! What a big fishing net!"
Mi Zhu saw the boats on the sea collecting the nets. The huge nets caught countless kinds of sea fish, which shook his eyes.
"How much did you get this day?"
Looking at the sea, countless ships were busy on the sea.
If every ship could catch like this, Tanghai would indeed have countless seafood.
Mi Zhu suddenly became confident about this trip to the north.
Food is the most scarce material at this time.
Following the Tanghai ship to the dock.
Mi Zhu found that a large number of workers were handling the seafood that had just been unloaded on the dock.
Sorting, processing, and drying.
All the work was carried out in an orderly manner without any mess.
What surprised him even more was that there were actually many women in the team.
And most of them were women.
Men were only responsible for unloading the cargo from the ships and doing some heavy physical work.
Women were responsible for picking up the seafood and sorting it out.
He saw smiles on the faces of those busy women!
Smiles from the heart.
How is it possible?
Mi Zhu couldn't accept the scene in front of him at all.
He knew very well how much the people resisted working.
In Xuzhou, their Mi family hired countless long-term and short-term workers.
He had never seen workers working so hard.
Moreover, they laughed while working, and were very happy.
Such a scene made him secretly amazed.
"It's very strange, isn't it?" Taishi Ci saw the other party's expression.
"People from other places all have this expression when they come to Tanghai."
"Don't worry, there are more strange things waiting for you."
"Don't be too surprised when the time comes."
"This is Tanghai."
Mi Zhu blinked his eyes, and he became more and more curious about the legendary Tanghai County Magistrate.
Wait!
He suddenly remembered that the official was not talking about Tanghai County, but Tanghai Direct Administrative Region.
What is a Direct Administrative Region?
Mi Zhu, who has seen the world, frowned.
As the big man in front of him said, there is really more than one magical place in Tanghai.
Mi Zhu boarded the carriage under the leadership of Taishi Ci and headed towards Tanghai City.
