The long-distance port is a city that is not big or small in the sea.

This port was not called this name. Since the construction of a large-scale wharf was started here a few months ago, the name of the port has also changed.

Some people have rumored that the name of the port was personally named by the King of Chu. Ordinary people have no way to know the specific facts. They only know that in the past few months, the port has undergone considerable changes.

The most direct thing is the growth of workers and the docking of fleets, which leads to the growth of business.

"Oh, Zhang Laosan, are you going to deliver food again?" There was a ox cart passing by on the not-so-spacious street. The owner of a shop who got up early on the street smiled and waved at the driver.

The honest man sitting in front of the ox cart immediately tied the reins, and the ox cart stopped in front of the shop owner: "Why did Boss Li get up so early?"

"Well, the business has been quite prosperous these days. Customers have come early in the morning, so I have to get up early!" The tall and thin shop owner smiled and seemed to have a flower blooming on his face.

Thinking of the changes over the past few months, both of them laughed.

"This has to be blessed by Jun Ye! If they weren't building a port here, where would we have such days?"

"Not that, not only do the worker have to spend a lot of money every day, but Jun Ye is very generous! Well, it won't delay your delivery of food, go quickly! After you come back, you must come to my brother for two drinks!"

"It must be!" After a few greetings, the shop owner saw that the shops next to him had opened the door one after another. He stopped talking, and said a few more words, and then began to clean the door of the shop.

The ox cart was driven again and headed towards the port.

The morning sun shines gently.

The vegetables on the ox cart are all so fresh.

On the ox cart, in addition to the man, there is also a ***-year-old child who looks very white and clever. He talks a few words to the children from time to time, and the ox cart will soon arrive at the place.

The port was built at this time very beautifully.

The spacious pier is full of two-story buildings, and the distant coast is docked by patrol boats.

The construction of the entire port was completed two days ago. At this time, the workers left, but there were a large number of naval troops stationed here, and the daily expenses could drive the development of nearby towns.

By the way, the so-called customs foundation is a huge naval commander. The naval commander plans the route of the fleet so that the role of the customs can be played. Therefore, the customs office must have a naval commander.

After the Wu army surrendered, there were now three naval troops, with a total number of up to 60,000. They were divided into the first fleet, the second fleet and the third fleet. Some people wrote to say that the naval troops were too large and that they would not have much effect on attacking the Central Plains in the future. They wanted to delete the censorship, but were scolded by Wang Hongyi.

As soon as Zhang Laosan, who was delivering vegetables arrived, the soldiers from the first checkpoint at the port came over. More than a dozen people came over and chatted with Zhang Laosan.

"I gave it to you today." After the inspection, a young team with a tall figure and heroic spirit was talking.

Zhang Laosan recognized this person and knew that the other party's surname was Xie, and he was an easy-to-talk officer. As soon as the other party talked to him, he was not nervous and said with a smile: "Isn't this a military master? How dare I be negligent?"

"Okay, this is your food money this time. See if it's enough." The young team was throwing over a bag of silver money that had been prepared long ago.

"No need to look, no need to look, there will be no mistakes!" Zhang Laosan hurriedly responded.

At this time, Team Xie saw the child who was helping the soldiers unloading vegetables downstairs, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this your child?"

"Sir, this is the third child in the young family. He is quite sensible and can help with some work." Zhang Laosan said.

"It looks very clever. Why don't you send him to a private school at this age, but follow you everywhere?"

Xie Guzheng's words made Zhang Laosan stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Sir, children from poor families are not the fate of being masters. What's the use of entering a private school? It's better to help the family do some work early and marry a wife in the future, so as to continue your bloodline..."

"The family has some money, so it's better to let this kid go to a private school. Don't you know? Wang Shang held the imperial examination this time. More than half of the scholars admitted were from poor people. Each family received ten taels of silver and ten acres of fertile land. After passing the imperial examination, he became even more popular. As soon as he came out, he was an official. He just couldn't get into the imperial examination in a few years. He could always find a good job in the future, right?" Xie Guzheng actually thought of his son who had just been born, so he said that.

After hearing this, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking at the clever three boys, I think Jun Ye's words are also good...

"This kid Xie Yuan is getting involved with someone again." At some point on the first high-rise building, a group of people appeared. The leader had white faces and long beards and a dressed in official robe. It was Song Han of the Song family.

The customs has soldiers in his hands. In addition to being able to greet the navy at critical moments, there is also a guard who is waiting for command. This Xie team is just his subordinate.

Song Han was holding a monocular mirror in his hand, looking at the scene in the distance, and smiling at the person behind him.

The one named by Song Han was the team leader who spoke to Zhang Laosan.

As if he noticed something, Xie Yuan turned around, looked at the tall building, turned around, and directed the soldiers to transport the vegetables in, and at the same time watched Zhang Laosan and his son leave.

All the matters on this side were solved. He hurriedly trotted to the high building and bowed to the officials: "Sir Xie Yuan, I have met Lord Song! Dear Lord!"

"Get up." Song Han looked at him with a smile, and said for a while.

Xie Yuan stood up and stood respectfully aside.

"You have changed a lot during this period." Song Han said to Xie Yuan alone after he withdrew from others.

"The head of the family..."

"You'd better call me sir!" Song Han shook his head and said slowly: "Although you are from the Song family, you are now an official in the court, so you must not forget this.

The team is already a ninth-rank official.

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "I remember what he said... I will remember in my heart."

"Only eleven people from the Song family have obtained official positions. You have a promising career. How do you feel now?" Song Han asked.

"Sir, I did suffer some grievances when I first joined the army, but I finally made a contribution and was promoted by the Lord to the martial arts hall, gained the official position, and became a team leader."

"I have gained a lot of knowledge in the army and martial arts halls. I will do things steadily here in order to help the adults as soon as possible."

"It's good that you can think so." Song Han looked at it scrutinized, and saw Xie Yuanguo's frankness, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "You were young in the Song family at that time, but you were also a teenager. I must know something. Your parents also died in chaos. Your father has been by my side since he was a child. Although he was a master and servant, his relationship was quite deep."

"You are the only one left now. I have always treated you as my nephew. You have been working very hard all the time, and the Song family can understand these things."

"There are not a lack of talent, but sometimes it is inappropriate to be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Therefore, when I chose someone to follow me here, I chose you... You did not disappoint me. You have done a great job in the past few months. I hope this will happen in the future!"

"Yes, I will work hard!" Xie Yuan said kneeling.

"Get up and tell me what I said to the vegetable delivery farmer just now?" After pulling up the other party, Song Han asked casually.

Xie Yuan hurriedly told the story that had just happened.

When Song Han heard this, he smiled: "You are right. The king is indeed mostly taken from poor families in the imperial examination, but this is because the position of the imperial examination was lowered this time, and many children from aristocratic families were disdainful to participate."

"The children of aristocratic families who are willing to take the exam are actually very high... It's just that this is a matter of less discussion. Although it's just a casual word, it's something that everyone knows, but you are from the Song family. This statement may become a rumor when you hear someone who is interested."

"Sir, Xie Yuan knew he was wrong." Xie Yuan was suddenly shocked by Song Han's point and said hurriedly.

"It's good to know, so be careful in the future." Song Han whispered, turning around and walking down.

Xie Yuan kept sending Song Han downstairs before returning to his post.

"Sir, please see that Xie Yuan is smart and capable, so you might as well transfer him to the coastal defense..." A accompanying official whispered.

Song Han shook his head: "It's not in line with the rules, it's not in line with the rules, let him continue to hone his skills for a year or two."

Speaking forward.

The officials accompanying you looked at me and I looked at you. They all knew that Xie Yuan was from the Song family, but Lord Song did not intend to interfere in the transfer of personnel, so they were too happy to ignore it.

Although this is the first customs established by the Song family, a group of officials have been transferred from other places. The Song family has control over the power and cannot do whatever they want.

After leaving the first checkpoint, Song Han did not go back directly, but took a patrol ship to patrol at the sea.

Although Wang Hongyi has come to an end and will open several ports one after another, it was originally a port.

This is the first customs port, and Song Han couldn't take it lightly. He stood on the boat and looked into the distance with a monocular mirror. He saw the sea waves swaying slightly, a blue sky and the sea were almost connected.

Although it was not the first time he went out to sea, Song Han couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a fairyland on earth!"

"Sir, the patrol has been completed. Have you turned back to the port?" Someone came over and asked.

Song Han thought for a while and said, "Go back."

"promise."

After a while, the ship returned to the port.

As soon as I entered the port, I heard someone report that there was a big ship coming to this side.

"Climb the tower and look at it." Song Han said, then climbed to the high building and looked towards the coast.

I saw a merchant ship gradually approaching and approaching the port.

The ship was pulling three main mast sails, a large spinnaker and a rear mast sail. It was quite large, estimated to be about hundreds of tons, full of cargo.

The pilot of the patrol ship is issuing an order.

There is a patrol boat in the distance.

After a moment, the ship leaned against the shore, and the customs officers who had already prepared stepped forward and talked to the head of the ship.

There are also clerks who ask the person in charge of the ship to register, and soldiers also come to the ship to inspect.

After a long time of busyness, the ship entered the port road. This port road is very huge and long, and thousands of ships can be parked at the same time.

"This should be the first tax bill since the establishment of the customs?" Song Han stood above the high building, looking at the scene in the distance, and muttering to himself.

"Send someone to ask what the situation is." He said to his confidant.

"No." The man responded.
