The blue sky is as quiet as autumn water. Beneath the white clouds is a world of light sails and light smoke.

The vast Xijiang River water is filled with green in its turbidity, rolling up waves like quilts and patting the pier on the shore.

A wide-nose bulk cargo ship sailed out of the canal at the Xijiangkou. After adjusting its direction slightly, it slowly descended along the river. There were two small boats leading the way, and the shipmen above were still measuring hydrological data such as depth flow velocity. [bsp;     Behind the bulk ship is another half-small cargo ship. On the deck of the bow, there were a group of men in work clothes, as well as three or five knights.

Most of the men in work clothes were smoking and chatting. From time to time, the only one who was the leader stood alone on the bow of the boat, showing a strange harmony.

"Old man, the boat is driving so fast, can you catch fish?" A man almost 40 years old sat on the deck, speaking happily, throwing the melon seeds into the river while eating melon seeds.

"I'm a unique technology, you look at it."

"Lou has been watching for a long time, and there is no movement at all."

The people next to him laughed loudly, and someone laughed: "I heard that the carp king with 50 kilograms in the Western Continent is so hot that his wife doesn't care. As a result, he goes out to sea as soon as he comes, and he is enjoying it."

The man who was eating melon seeds smiled and said, "I want me to tell you, it's really a waste of you. I finally came here and brought a fishing rod. If I were to sell this to those "traders who run luggage on behalf of others, I would make less than 1,000 yuan."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you dare to sell, I'll deal with you first." The man who always raised his head and showed his white teeth and didn't smoke. This is the most worth showing off.

A group of people started to boo. They were all ship workers at Jiangnan Shipyard. Good luck was not laid off. Then they ushered in the prosperous period of the shipyard. Now they came to the Western Continent with them and saw such a vast shipping market. They were all feeling broad and felt a sense of happiness back to the pre-reform.

At that time, they were wealthy and status workers in state-owned enterprises.

A slightly young fighting knight slowly approached a group of boatmen, half-held on the side of the boat, and looked at the fishing rod and line carefully.

The transparent nylon rope is not natural, and its tight and consistent performance is something that people in the Western Continent have never seen before. The fighting knight is even more skeptical about its carrying capacity and said, "Can such a rope pull a 50-pound fish?"

He always likes to talk about fishing scriptures with people the most, and immediately abandoned his coworkers, turned around and smiled, "What is a 50-pound fish? Even if it encounters a 100-pound fish, it can hold on."

He patted the electric dumpling wheel fixed to the boat gang and said, "Just put on the hook, unless it can tow the boat away, you will have to go ashore."

"Can I see?" The fighting knight was too curious, otherwise he would not have exchanged with the civilians in this way.

He put the hero with workers in the fishing line and moved out of the position.

The thick carbon rod, tight fishing line, colorful fish floats and hard metal hooks, the knight touched it from the beginning to the end, studied it for a while, but pulled the fishing rod out of the slot and threw it violently into the river. The action was indescribable.

When the hook fell into the water, the fishing line suddenly became straight.

The knight crawled with his hands and smiled in surprise: "Can a 150-pound fish be held?"

"You can. It's easy to let go if you can relax and relax, hundreds of pounds." As the old man said, his eyes widened and asked, "Have you caught it?"

The skill knight said as he relaxed.

"Even the bait is not strong"

"I hooked his mouth." The knight said, and his right arm burst into a fighting spirit. He lifted it hard.

A stupid fish about a meter long, fat head and big ears jumped into the air.

"Red Glyfish, it's pretty good to eat when roasted." Yin Sen, who was on the bow of the boat, saw it and easily activated the magic technique. The magic power was shaping. The moment the fish fell, a table raised on the deck. It was flat and just enough to put the fish down.

Also a foodie, Yin Sen Zhu Divine Art Knight, who pulled out a knife and removed the scales of the red sweet fish in the air, making it impossible for several workers to see the big fish to see.

"It's so amazing!" The old man raised his thumb and said, "Just with this skill, you can become famous for making sashimi in big cities."

"Fish sashimi." The guy who was eating melon seeds took the opportunity to show off his skills.

The captain also came out of the cab, watched the fun with a smile, and said, "It's not easy to have such a big fish when you sway your hands."

"There are big fish around the Xijiang River, which is small." The little priest from Mala City came out with the captain. His fat belly was very convincing.

"real?"

"I haven't seen the food factories in the city producing canned fish? How many tens of thousands of servings per week."

Everyone in the cab came out.

The fighting knight was encouraged by this and fished with a swipe of rods. After a while, he got three large strips, piled them on the side of the boat, cut and burned, and it turned out to be a lunch party.

The ship went downstream and soon arrived at the estuary.

The captain returned to the cab with fragrance and began to adjust the course according to the data sent by the front ship. He was regarded as the resource left by the former Po family. Potan automatically went to the isolated island to "show off" his resources naturally had to be redistributed.

Chen Yi lacked interest in the naval system and only focused on the logistics part. In this way, he gained relatively complete power. Almost a dozen senior officials of three systems posted it up, and there were naturally many small roots like captains stretching under each tree. They could play a significant role in both their original position, Yang or the Western Continent.

In this environment without satellites and geographical information, military crew members can play a greater role. Merchant ships have to wait until they complete the detection mission before formal trial sailing.

Chen Yi hopes for 100,000-ton cargo ship transportation, which requires the water depth to be safe to maintain above 20 meters. Even a big river like the Xijiang River has such conditions only in the center, and on some bends, further dredging may be required.

These news must be recorded by several ships and finally obtained a complete plan before they can be implemented.

However, the requirements for a cargo ship of 10,000 tons are much lower, and they are the main ships transported to Xijiang. Many of them have not even been unloaded and are indirectly loaded and transported to other locations. Their delivery is quick and convenient, reducing a lot of trouble.

"The front ship changes course."

“Survey to the northeast.

"The captain drew lines on the simple map and made orders.

The first mate repeated it and began to give the specific parameters.

Captain Ding asked: "We can still travel about 120 kilometers forward, pay attention to the distance."

After finishing, I looked at my watch and went out to taste the food again.

The 120-kilometer limit comes from the light curtain with a radius of 400 kilometers. If it weren't for this, the Xijiang River would have come out of a large ocean-going ship, rather than such an inappropriate fleet.

The barbecue banquet ended in the evening. Two large ships and two small boats slowly approached a local simple dock and set foot onto the land again under the illumination of faint lights.

"Is it going well here?" A young man in a striped shirt came down to the captain with many members of the martial arts hall.

"Mr. Chen, the road was smooth. It was originally scheduled to arrive in 14 hours, but it actually took 12 hours to zero witch points." The captain was sweating in his hands, and he carried his body and wiped his pants on his pants before shook hands with Chen Yi.

"How does the sea in the Western Continent feel?" When asked a professional question, the captain gradually calmed down and recalled: "The wind and waves are not big, but the surge is very strong. There are two people on our ship who are seasick, and there are several cargo ships in front of us."

"What if I go to the far sea?" Chen Yi said as he walked.

The captain hurriedly followed and said, "We are at most 50 nautical miles away from the shore today and have not encountered any danger. However, without further marine information, the danger of encountering typhoons and reefs is still not small."

Chen Yi greeted the other crew members again, and Li Changning reached out to signal the unloading to complete the unloading.

Looking at the simple dock that didn't even have a crane, there were only three magic knights and seven or eight fighting knights wearing rough clothes and drinking Coke and Red Bull.

Thousands of tons of supplies are only 800 containers. The knights lifted two at a time and threw them into the air. The knights below threw them one by one. Even if the two containers were placed, they would not be able to use them for 20 seconds during the period, which was faster than any crane.

But no one can afford such a knight except Chen Yi. He doesn't hire money, but more of it is for future use.

This is also the biggest difference between the Western Continent and the Earth. It is difficult for the undeveloped commodity market to sell everything.

Chen Yi used faith to exchange the loyalty and hard work of the Knights of the Divine Arts, which was more like bartering.

"Captain, sorry, Lou are going to destroy the ship." Li Changning walked over.

"It's okay, I know." The captain looked at the old ship he brought with him with nostalgia. The displacement of more than 3,000 tons was just a larger fishing boat. The damaged white paint made it look old, but no matter what, it was a ship he had commanded.

The boatmen who had previously laughed and laughed and crawled into the boat and prepared to remove valuable parts.

The Western Continent is still in a state of overspending, that is, more goods are transported in, but less goods are transported out.

Many ships do not row... and then transport them back, it is better to dismantle them on the spot and then take advantage of good quality scrap steel.

A cargo ship with a displacement of 3,000 tons can dismantle about 1,000 tons of scrap steel. Any magic knight can be processed and sent to the battlefield as a weapon. The dismantled intact parts can continue to be reserved, making it better economic.

Chen Yi doesn't have to sell it. There have been temples that have long been afraid that the military officer will guard the simple bungalow at the simple dock, waiting to acquire the dismantled metal.

Compared with many steels sold in Xijiang, the performance of scrap ship plates is even better.

For gentlemen on the battlefield, no matter how much metal is, it is not enough. The temple war has always been a way to reduce population, divert domestic conflicts, and at the same time destroy the economies of many countries.

"The second batch of 1,000 tons of steel is given to the Fire Dragon Temple. Thank you for your efforts in the construction of the wharf." Chen Yi refers to the simple wharf under his feet.

The messenger of the Fire Dragon Temple was flattered and hurriedly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome" and respectfully brought out the whole box of gold, laughing and saying, "As we had agreed before, we're all here."

Chen Yi nodded, and there were people below to take the points.

The messenger rushed in front of others and said, "Old Knight of the Divine Arts, we are currently under the main attack of the enemy and have always been in short supply. I wonder if we can increase the amount of metal and food provided every month?"

“How much is it added?”

“Double.”

"You want too much. Only a few legions are fighting? Who has not undertaken the task of the main force's combat?" Without Chen Yi's words, the messengers from the Water Dragon Temple and the Wood Dragon Temple next to them all roared.

Xijiang City State provides one or two thousand tons of supplies to the Fire Dragon Temple every month, with a share of about 30,000 food, which does not account for the proportion of the decision, but it is also an indispensable or shortage of quantity.

If it doubles, it will almost reach 20% of the total amount of supplies they need, which will really exceed the supply of some large parishes.

If the canal was built before it was built, Chen Yi would not be able to do it even if he wanted to agree.

As for now, he has to supply tonnage.

Not to mention two thousand tons of materials, even 20,000 tons or 200,000 tons is just the transportation capacity of the Knight of the Divine Arts for half a day.

Apart from the trouble of transportation, the principal of these things is not worth mentioning at all.

Chen Yi took full posture and waited for other representatives to express his opinions, Fang said: "It's not impossible, but for my documents here, you have to ask the temple priest to sign our business."

Li Changning cleverly put down a thick contract.

This is an exclusive contract, which stipulates that Chen Yi has the final decision and priority to the city-states of the temple and the earthlings. If the provisions are carefully read, it means that the city-states' transactions with the earthlings will be carried out through Chen Yi.

If there was no threat of the temple war, there would definitely be no high priest who was willing to sign it.

Several messengers looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally buried their heads in the contract.

In the Western Continent, contracts cannot be violated at will, not only moral risks, but also substantial damage.

Therefore, compared with the Chinese who have never believed in a contract society, the indigenous people in the Western Mainland know the ability of chain contracts better.

After a long time, the envoy of the Fire Dragon Temple said, "I am the main war priest of the temple. How about I sign the contract?"

Chen Yi was not as inhuman as expected, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to sign, I can increase the supply of materials by 30%.

The messenger looked at this guy who was younger than his son and suddenly realized that this contract would not be the only contract he signed or the High Priest was about to sign.

"From next month, we will increase the supply of materials by 30%. Can we?" The messenger was not qualified to decide whether the high priest could sign a contract, but as a quartermaster, he had the obligation to strive for more supplies.

300 tons of metal per month, whether it is made of standard weapons or the weapons of the knights, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

He didn't care about the details of the document and only treated it as a commercial contract in his heart, wrote his name on it and pressed his fingerprints.
