0418: Do You Want To Show Off When You Meet?
At noon, Qiao Ji's fleet slowly approached the port of Hailan City.
At this time, the port of Hailan City was full of people, and many large and small merchant ships stopped.
Standing on the deck of the boat, Lei Nai looked at the port of Hailan City, and said crisply, "It's not bad here, although it's not as good as Yuege City."
Hailan City's port is half smaller than Yuege City's, and even so, many caravans have gathered to dock.
Looking further in from the port, you can see a ten-meter-high city wall. There is a long distance from the port to the city gate.
Many wooden houses and thatched houses were built in this distance, which is the outer city of Hailan City.
"It's so close to the sea, it should be good to do business in the future." Huan Ji looked at the port with one hand behind his back.
The location of Hailan City is very good, it is close to the Rhine River, and it is also close to the sea.
"I just don't know how much tax I have to pay for doing business here?" Lian Xin remembered what the mayor said last night.
Xue Nai also walked to the fence, and said softly, "I'm afraid the cost of mooring the boat is not low.
Qiao Ji turned to look at Danny Bo when he heard this, and ordered, "Go and ask, how much does it cost to dock twenty-two ships."
He wanted to know about the cost of mooring ships at the port before meeting the governor of Hailan City.
He didn't need to pay the boat fee when he came to his own territory, and Hailan City was divided into the territory of 660 Tianxing.
"Yes." Danny responded immediately.
He turned away from the big ship and ran towards the port office. Along the way, he could hear many people talking about Qiao Ji's fleet.
"Hey, look, whose caravan is this? There are more than twenty ships."
"Yeah, it should be pretty good looking at the strength, but how much does it cost to dock so many ships?"
"If Hailan City had a big client, I wouldn't have come to Beigang. The charges here are really exaggerated."

Danny Bo heard everyone's discussion, and came to the port office frowning, asking about the berthing fees of twenty-two ships.
When he heard that more than 400 gold coins were required, his face darkened immediately, and he turned and left the office directly.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Danny quickly returned to the boat, bent slightly and reported, "My lord, a total of four hundred and forty gold coins are needed."
"The docking fee for a ship costs twenty gold coins?" Lei Nai's black eyes widened after hearing this.
"The situation of indiscriminate charging in Beigang is quite serious. It was the same when we stopped in the small town of Annecy last time. Four ships cost 20 gold coins.
Lian Xin looked at the port office with a cold face, and said expressionlessly, "However, the governor of Hailan City is really black-hearted."
"Go into the city." Qiao Ji said with a cold face.
He had guessed that the fee would be high, but he was still surprised when he heard that more than 400 gold coins were needed.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji left the ship board under the guard of the Dragon Shadow Knight Battalion and walked towards the port.
Due to the large number of knights of Qiao Ji and others, the knights in charge of order and checking the berthing signs did not dare to stop them.
As long as you pay the mooring fee, the office will issue a sign, and if you want to enter the city, you can pass the sign to the knight at the port for inspection.
Qiao Ji and the others ignored the port knights and went straight to the roadside of the port, preparing to take a carriage to the inner city to hand over the consul.
Of course, Qiao Ji hasn't asked anyone to notify the consul of Hailan City, but he doesn't think that the consul of Hailan City doesn't know.
More or less, he must have received some rumors, especially what he did to the Black Sea Pirates last night.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
Before Qiao Ji and the others walked to the avenue, they were surrounded by a group of knights.
Lei Nai's black eyes suddenly turned cold, and the treasure in his hand was ready to teach others.
Shi Duo also immediately activated the large anti-shock shield to block the front, looking at the menacing knights with a sullen face.
Agnelli pushed back with the knights, forcing the unfriendly knights to move a long distance around.
Those knights didn't dare to resist, because Qiao Ji brought too many knights, and the equipment (dbcd) on them was also very good.
"Are you so arrogant if you don't pay the berthing fee?"
A sharp sound came from behind the menacing knights, and the knights immediately made way.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
A skinny man wearing a gray fox cloak who looked a bit like a Chihuahua came out from the passage made by the knight.
Aimo raised his chin slightly and looked at Qiao Ji and the others, folded his arms around his chest, and asked, "Are you guys refusing to pay the berthing fee?"
He is the younger brother of the governor of Hailan City, and his daily job is to stare at the port.
Especially some people who tried to leave without paying the berthing fee, Aymo could catch some people every few days.
But today he didn't come here specifically to arrest people for not paying the fee, but a temptation.
Aimo was sent by the consul to test Qiao Ji, in fact, he wanted to give him a blow.
The consul's idea is that if Qiao Ji is strong, then the way of getting along with her will have to change.
But if Qiao Ji is weak, asking him to hand over power honestly? That is impossible.
The consul will only try his best to delay the handing over of power. After all, how do people from the imperial capital know about Beigang?
"Those who don't pay the berthing fee will have to pay ten times the fee if they are caught," Aimo said arrogantly.
Before he led people to intercept them, he went to see the boat of Qiao Ji and others, and found that there were no noble flags hanging on it.
There was no noble name written on the hull, but Aymo saw that several ships were seriously damaged, and recognized that several ships belonged to the Black Sea Pirates.
From this, he deduced that the fleet might belong to Qiao Ji, so he hurriedly led people to surround it.
The fact that Amo led the knights to besiege people quickly attracted people from the port to watch the fun.
"Look, the man with twenty-two ships is blocked by Elmo."
"Why didn't he pay the fee? Twenty-two ships shouldn't be poor?"
"The cost of mooring a boat is very high. Is it a bit reluctant to give hundreds of gold coins all at once? It's really annoying to mess with Emmo..."
The onlookers began to discuss each other sentence by sentence, because Amo is the consul's younger brother, he is usually very rebellious.
Those merchants who docked in Hailan City dare not speak out, and they can only swallow their anger if they want to do business.
As for the great nobles? They seldom come to a desolate place like Beigang, and even if they come to Amo, they will watch people order dishes.
For a while, the atmosphere in the port became tense.
"Tap Tat Tat"
Lei Nai stepped forward, his black eyes were full of killing intent, and he stared at Aimo indifferently.
Before the other party could speak, she said coldly, "This is Qiao Ji, the third-class Marquis, and the future master of this Hailan City."
