Unlock the cable and start the anchor. The Youlin slowly left the port and slid into the deep water channel. Follow the guide ship and sailed to Zhongshanzhou 200 miles away. There are three guide ships on the left, middle and right, which are the local sea fishing boats hired by Jiao Jiao. Knowing the routes are familiar with the routes, you can avoid the undercurrents of the reefs along the way.

If the fishing boat is not sailing too slowly, it can arrive in half a day. Apart from the personnel and supplies they carry, the Youlin can still carry tens of stones. It shows its size and stability. The boat is like a fort, and it is like eating and living, everything is as usual. It is lined with three meals a day. At midnight, Zhou Hui then held a banquet in Jue Room and talked with Jiao Jiao and others. Before the wine was three rounds, the food was five flavors. The Youlin had already cut through the waves and arrived at the seas of Zhongshanzhou.

Looking around, I saw that the island bank was wide and long and the area was very wide. The terrain was tilted from southwest to northeast. It was 1030 miles from east to west and 50 miles from north to south. As Jiao Jiao said, it was comparable to a county.

The surrounding islands are scattered and of different sizes. Just set up a harbor here and you can travel between the islands, fish, hunt, and farm, and enjoy yourself.

If the surrounding islands are counted together, there may be three counties and one county.

Although it was transferred to the eastern border of Zheng County at that time, there was no establishment. It was a masterless enclave. If King Ji asked for it, no one would stop the court. It would be tasteless to eat and give it up.

The pilot fisherman told the fisherman that around the island is an excellent fishing ground (Zhoushan Fishery). This place is also as Jiao Jiao said, "guarding the gateway of the river and shaking the key points of the north and south." Especially for the sea fleets traveling along the coastal routes and traveling to Ji and Lingnan, it is an excellent relay port. As long as it is built and the famous Ji and the country can be transported to the port residences continuously. In this way, the sea market is sold out and there is no need to go north. Just raft here and replenish the baggage, you can go south again. Save half of the mileage.

The residence is also called "market house". The note says: "The residence is a city house, and the residence house is taxed, and it is not taxed." Another memorial: "The residence is called a public residence house, which allows merchants to stop the property and directly tax the price where they are housed, and not the property they sell in the market." In other words, only storage fees are charged, no money is charged.

What's more, this island has water coming out of the valley and spreading on the tidal flats. The island is vast and has enough flexibility. It is not difficult to be self-sufficient.

"Stop the flow and control the water, defend the brine and store the light. As Mr. Hu said, this place should be used." Zhou Hui asked happily: "I don't know what Mr. Hu wants?"

"When Hong Kong is completed, can I grant my old power to 'foreign countries' business'?" Jiao Jiao finally revealed his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Hui smiled and said, "However, you can't be 'authorized'."

"This is natural." Jiao Jiao did not want to take it alone. Then he changed his subject: "I dare to ask the commander whether he needs to report to Ji State, and ask the king to decide."

"All things about the river surface and water levee are my responsibilities. Why bother asking this more?" Zhou Hui said with a smile.

"I'm worried, please wait for the Duwei Haihan." Jiao Jiao hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay." Zhou Hui pointed to the country and became proud: "This place should be the fourth port on the river. It may be called... 'Yongdong Port'."

How could Jiao Jiao not know that the local tyrants were: "Yongdong, Yue, the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhongshanzhou, Kuaiji Juzhang County. Yue destroyed Wu, and the King of Wu was sent to Yongdong, which is this."

Zhou Hui's heart moved: "Zhongshanzhou refers to this large island or this archipelago."

Jiao Jiao understood: "Since he was called "India", he was undoubtedly an archipelago."

"It's so good." Zhou Hui could not be overjoyed: "My lord has another county!"

Hearing this, Yu Fan and other subordinates were all happy.

Jiao Jiao also smiled and was honored.

Without further ado, Zhou Hui ordered the craftsmen to land on the island. He measured and mapped the map and reported to Ji State.

Jiwang Palace, main hall.

King Ji held a special court meeting and discussed the affairs of Zhongshanzhou Port with his important officials.

"Zhongshanzhou is located in the East China Sea of ​​Juzhang. It is close to Hu Island and Wu Island. Especially with Hujiju Port in the Prefecture, it builds Ziboda Port and Xiong attacks Shirakawajin. The exchanges are smooth and convenient." Dushui ordered Li Yong to follow the map to answer questions for his colleagues: "And this continent is located halfway from the Lingnan route. If it is a relay, the sea city will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"There is no water on all sides and no one is deserted. If it is a county, it will cost a lot of people." Jidu Yin Lou Gui stood up and asked, "Does the lord want to send 100,000 ships to the south?"

"No." Liu Bei said: "There are 27 counties in Ji State, 27 ports. 100,000 ship owners are not enough to divide them. How can we go south to support and supervise the construction of a new port? It is suitable to recruit on the spot."

"Yangzhou is rich. Even the fishermen on the beach are quite wealthy. How can they easily abandon their family business and move to a deserted island?" Lou Gui was quite doubtful.

Liu Bei then looked at Huang Chengyan: "The Zuo Guo Ling will help you solve your doubts."

"Yes." Huang Chengyan then took a model of the ship and circulated it to everyone: "This is a new type of sea fishing boat. The lord named it: 'Run Feng'."

Unlike ordinary fishing boats, this boat is equipped with a mechanism crane and a winch is placed on the rear deck. It is connected by wire ropes. It is coated with armor, fire-free bulkheads, watertight compartments, machine submerged wheels, etc., and it is all available. There is also a huge fish cabin with green salt.

Looking closely at the hull, Sima Hui, the priest under the door, tried to turn the winch. There was a trawling winch, slowly falling and hanging on the stern of the boat. This was the "offshore trawling fishing boat" in later generations. It was similar to the gill nets and crossbows on the building boat. Gill nets are used to catch people and traw nets. Compared with the commonly used fishermen to cast nets and fish, it is more than a hundred times more efficient.

Nowadays, fishing and hunting are all near the sea. When fish are caught, they are quickly transported to the ashore, sold on site, or pickled in time, air-dried and stored. There is less than a day when you go back and forth. However, there is a lot of salt in the country of Zhi. The fish cabin is built with salt piles, which can keep fresh in time. You can have everything you need to go out to sea during the sun, without having to go back and forth. The salt piles can also be replaced at any time, and the dirty salt returns to the site and re-dry new salt. This repeated use is more than twice the result. In short, the skills of Ji are sufficiently perfect.

In other words, the fishermen purchased it is not a fishing boat, but a complete set of advanced fishing and hunting systems from fishing, storage, transportation, maintenance, and even logistics support. As expected, all the above ancillary facilities are built around the fishing port. In order to facilitate fishing and hunting, the boatmen should settle down nearby and move to Yongdong Port on their own.

It is bustling with people, profits come and go; people die for money, birds die for food. Seeking profit and avoiding harm is a common human nature. Who can avoid the common people?

"So that's it." Thinking through everything, Sima Hui smiled and said, "The lord followed the Yue people and drove them to benefit. The fishermen in Yangzhou must gather in the mountains."

"How much does it cost to ask the lord, the fishing boat that leads the wind, how much does it cost?" Zheng Xuan stood up and asked.

Liu Bei said: "A weapon that should be a hundred times more powerful than a fishing boat. How much does it cost to be a million yuan?"

"What should I do if I replace salt piles, repair the organs, store fish fresh, and so on?" Geng Yong, the right prime minister, asked again.

After a moment of emotion, Liu Bei smiled and said, "It should be a waste of three years of spending."

Everyone who attended the meeting nodded.

Zheng Xuan smiled and sighed: "The fishermen in the world are all running to Zhongzhou."

The details were agreed upon by the prime ministers of the left and right. Then, the 600-mile report was reported to the ban: Please open Zhongshanzhou and Yongdong Port.

The Shao Emperor had already agreed and there was no need to discuss it again. The Shangshutai issued an imperial edict, ordering the prefectures and counties to assign Zhongshanzhou to King Ji. It was just a deserted island overseas, with no people. Since King Ji had spoken, he received the order from top to bottom, and he was happy to accept the order.

There is nothing difficult for King Ji, and there is nothing small for King Ji.

After the delivery of the documents, Zhou Hui made drastic moves to supervise the construction of Yongdong Port.
