Chapter 238 (1/2)
At the other end of the wilderness in the northwest, tens of thousands of miles away, two huge Straits have been built into pass ports.
Countless ships drove into the sea from the canal, carrying all kinds of goods, ready to be dumped to overseas countries. At the same time, many ships also returned from overseas and entered the inland.
However, all ships must pass through the Strait port and pay customs fees before they can enter and leave the country. At least one third of the annual tax revenue of the customs is paid from this port, involving hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan of transaction amount. A large amount of tax revenue enters the national treasury every day.
The Hong Dynasty fleet here is also the strongest in history. Under the cover of artillery, any expert pirate will die.
The actual controller of the Strait port and the supreme commander of the customs is the great prince Hong Qitian.
All the merchant fleets that passed by from then on knew that at least one-third or even half of the customs duties paid by themselves had entered this person's bag and were taken private.
It can be said that the eldest son of emperor Hongwu is very rich.
His residence is on the top of the peaks at the top of the Strait. Built by the customs, he can have an insight into the movements of every merchant ship entering and leaving the pass anytime and anywhere.
The mansion is also magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Manors are connected with manors, with ups and downs, and can't be seen at a glance.
At the moment, deep in the heart of the mansion, outside a dark hall, a man knelt down and reported the matter.
”Sir, Jiang lishuo was caught by us and has been escorted here. However, no matter how hard we tortured her, she just refused to tell us many secrets about leaving que Dongtian. Moreover, during our secret arrest, another fish escaped from que Dongtian and sneaked into the wilderness from the capital city. It seems that she is going to ask his highness 36 for help. Do you want us these days Strengthen defense to prevent the other party from rescuing? ”
The man knelt outside the hall, but the whole man trembled and didn't dare to look up at all.
It seems that what is in front of him is not the dark door of the temple, but the big mouth of a hell devil, which is located where he treats others.
The hall was dark and empty. There was no light inside. Time seemed to solidify in the hall and did not exist at all.
”Hmm? The old thirty-six's waste hasn't been eliminated by my brothers? It seems that my brothers are all waste. Only waste can't help it. It's also waste.”
In the dark depths of the hall, a cold voice came out. It was dry, sharp and dumb. It seemed that sharp metal rubbed against glass stones and made a voice: ”it's not necessary to strengthen defense. My residence is as solid as gold, not to mention the old 36, even the second, the third, the crown prince, the fourth, the fifth and the seventh. What if they come together?
Why did we catch Jiang lishuo and secretly release the news? It's just to attract a steady stream of his accomplices to rescue him. In this way, you escort Jiang lishuo to my hall. I'm here to see who can save her? Just in time, send the elders who left the que cave together. I'll transfer their blood to practice martial arts. ”
”Yes! The servant will do it right away.” the man nodded, relieved, and was about to get up and leave, but he thought about what he thought. He continued: ”Sir, I'm afraid the thirty-six princes are not as simple as you think, so we can't take it lightly.
According to the intelligence, he even made an agreement with the Mohists, and let Mo Ningxiang persuade the Mohists to send panwu Dali giant spirit God to build a fief for him, even faster than Li muyue, the second prince and the eighteenth Prince... ”
”Bring all the information recently, and I'll watch it carefully.” for a long time, a faint voice came out from the depths of the hall, like a ghost, as if it were a voice from hell.
”Yes.” the man waved behind him. Immediately, someone sent up a bundle of ”thousands of communication notes”, on which all kinds of intelligence were recorded. They were sorted and classified, a full 18 bundles. The capital, mang wasteland, and even the imperial courts, temples and halls are all over the country, with a large number.
Suddenly, a burst of invisible vigorous Qi roared out of the hall, like a hurricane. All the eighteen bundles of information were involved in the depths of the hall and disappeared. It took a long time before the voice came out again:
”The crown prince and Lao Ba are also going to send people to mang wasteland to lie in the muddy water and build a fief? It seems that mang wasteland has enough oil and water, which makes them all excited. The crown prince's magic method of burning the sun has been stagnant for many years, and now it's time to break through, but even if he is allowed to reach the martial holy land, what can he do? Everyone says he has the highest cultivation among our princes, but I don't know I've been to him long ago In front, I just didn't want to expose it. It was deliberately spread that my cultivation was low.
There is also old Ba Hong Longxiang. Behind him is a member of the Hai family. Over the years, the Hai family has had a lot of competition with me overseas. This time, he will go to manghuang to fight and kill the second, fourth and even thirty-six waste people together. This is a good thing. ”
The slave kneeling outside did not dare to answer. This kind of question involves other princes. It belongs to a higher-level struggle. He is a slave who can't interrupt.
”As for the waste of Lao 36, it is estimated that there are more profound figures behind him besides Lique Dongtian and Mohist school. Otherwise, you can't take it out, baby. Please move the waste dragon Juli war puppet of the divine Engineering Institute and the pan Wu Dali giant spirit God of Mohist school.”
The sound in the dark became more and more gloomy:
”Send someone to spread the news and let those old guys from the que cave come to kneel down in front of me and bow down to be my vassal, otherwise I will kill Jiang lishuo immediately and help me refine my divine skill.”
”Yes!” said the servant hastily.
”Also, send someone to assassinate Mo Ningxiang. Since he wants to take refuge in the old thirty-six, he will fight against me and die. In addition, let the prince go to the wilderness to experience. Next to the wasteland of the old thirty-six, he will also beat down a barbarian tribe as my fief. It is not only the suppression of the waste, but also the first step for me to lay out the wilderness. Now all the princes are happy How can I miss it when I get involved in manghuang? ”
”Yes!”
The hall in the dark became quiet again, silent, like a dark magic land, a big mouth, treat people and eat
It has been more than ten days since the fief was built. In this half month, Hongyu is the residence. He practices every day, rectifies internal affairs, improves the supporting facilities in the fief, and sends people out to publicize the various conveniences of the fief in the customs, so as to attract all kinds of businesses and adventurers to settle in.
At this point, the fiefdom is fully operational!
There are more than 1000 soldiers under him. In addition, many dead masters sent by the Mohist family are all reorganized together. A total of 3000 people and 4000 iron backed evil wolves are all assigned by LAN Qifu. They patrol in the fief every day, improve everywhere and deal with all kinds of things.
