Just as Zhu Yunhao was feeling regretful that the good situation in Qiongzhou was about to be broken…
Xiao Ding entered the study.
He looked at Zhu Yunhao, who was sighing, and said softly,"
"Your Highness, the Leizhou Guard Governor Lin Yang has sent a visiting card!”
Zhu Yunhao, who was in a daze, was stunned.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Ding repeated,
" Leizhou Guard Commander Lin Yang."
Zhu Yunhao's eyes lit up slightly.
"He wants to visit this king?"
Xiao Ding nodded with certainty.
Zhu Yunhao touched his smooth chin and chuckled."
"Someone came to deliver a pillow just as I was dozing off?”
"When will he arrive?"
Xiao Ding said in a deep voice,
"We'll arrive at the seaport tomorrow. We'll probably reach Qiongzhou Prefecture before noon.”
Zhu Yunhao chuckled and said,
"It seems that Lin Yang knows something about Jingzhou. He's here to find out the truth!”
Xiao Ding heard this and asked,
"Your Highness, do you need me to order some things that shouldn't appear to temporarily disappear?”
Zhu Yunhao shook his head slightly.
"No, I can't! " Don't try to hide it. Jingzhou will do what it should do. Sometimes, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us to show our strength.”
Xiao Ding was deep in thought as he nodded lightly,
"This subordinate understands."
……
The next morning.
Haikou Office.
This was one of the three major ports in Qiongzhou.
It was facing the sea from Leizhou Prefecture's Hainan Institute.
At this moment, there were countless ships docked around the seaport.
There were also more than ten huge treasure ships standing near the sea entrance.
When Lin Yang and dozens of guards approached the seaport, he was dumbfounded.
"Is that…a ship?"
Looking at the huge body of the treasured ship, it would be strange if he said he wasn't shocked.
Lin Yang had never expected that Qiongzhou Prefecture would have so many ships.
"Didn't they say that Qiongzhou Prefecture is a remote and poor place? Why are there so many ships?"
Lin Yang looked at one of his trusted aides, who had always been in charge of intelligence work.
As for this trusted aide, when he saw so many treasure ships at the seaport, he was also dumbfounded.
"How could that be? This…This…This subordinate deserves to die!"
Lin Yang frowned at his trusted aide and asked,"
"Such an eye-catching flying ship, have you never seen it before?”
The trusted aide smiled bitterly.
"Sir, we always thought that Qiongzhou was remote and sparsely populated, so we never put our focus on it. If it wasn't for the King of Qiongzhou luring refugees into Qiongzhou, we wouldn't even pay attention to it.”
"I didn't expect that under our eyes, Qiongzhou would actually build so many turreted ships. This…This is my dereliction of duty!”
Lin Yang didn't say much, but said indifferently,"
"When we return, lead the troops and pay attention to Qiongzhou. Send more people. I want to know all the news about Qiongzhou Prefecture.”
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
As the ship approached, the grand occasion of the seaport gradually appeared in Lin Yang's eyes.
At the port of the sea, a dense crowd of people came and went.
Countless resources and living creatures were transported in and out of the port.
Hundreds of carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts lined up in a long line, waiting outside the port.
Thousands of armored Great Ming soldiers were maintaining order at the port.
Seeing such a grand occasion, Lin Yang's eyes instantly widened.
"Is this your so-called remote village?”
"Is this your so-called vast land with few people?”
"I think even Leizhou Prefecture isn't this lively, right?”
Lin Yang's trusted aide couldn't help but rub the sweat that was gradually seeping out of his forehead.
"This subordinate has failed in his duty, this subordinate has failed in his duty!”
Lin Yang snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with his trusted aide.
When Lin Yang's ship approached the port.
Several fully-armed Qiongzhou Guards walked over with serious expressions.
"Are you the Governor of Leizhou, Lord Lin Yanglin?”
Lin Yang collected his emotions and smiled calmly."
"I am Lin Yang. I am here to visit His Highness the King of Qiongzhou.”
The leaders of the Qiongzhou Guards immediately smiled and cupped their fists.
"I am Du Yu, the commander of the personal guards of King Qiong's estate. Greetings, Lord Lin!”
"I am here on the orders of His Highness to wait for Lord Lin and escort you to Qiongzhou Prefecture. His Highness was already waiting for him at the manor.”
Lin Yang nodded slightly.
"That's good. I'll have to trouble Commander Du to lead the way.”
Du Yu cupped his hands and said,"
"Lord Lin is too polite, please!"
Then, Du Yu led Lin Yang and the others through the harbor.
There was a sea of people in the entire harbor. There was an endless stream of people coming and going.
Most of them were merchants, peddlers, and laborers.
At the same time, there were countless shops around the port.
There were grocery stores, bookstores, restaurants, taverns, blacksmiths, silk shops, and so on. It could be said that even Hai Kang, the capital of Leizhou Prefecture, was not as prosperous as this small port.
Based on his initial estimation, there were at least 100,000 people in this small port.
Seeing such a large port.
Lin Yang was really shocked.
A small port in Qiongzhou was already so prosperous.
Was he sure he had come to the right place?
Was this Qiongzhou Prefecture really a backwater place?
