Finally, he said to Liu Dahai: "I won't meet those Dutch people. Go and greet them. What do you know how to say no?"

Liu Dahai smiled so much that he was not seeing his eyes. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Marshal! Of course, I know! I will definitely serve Jiang Gan!"

This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter! Liu Pei reminded everyone again and led the guards to the dock. When Liu Pei took seven or eight warships out of the dock, he interspered with the Dutch ships. Then Liu Pei's fleet turned to the north and sailed to the north.

Song Ke, standing on the deck, was observing the fleet. He saw the fleet turn toward the north. At the same time, he seemed to see someone's faces disappearing into the crowd with a flash of red light! However, Song Ke didn't care. He was focusing on the ships carefully.

At first glance, these ships look very similar to his ship. The streamlined hull, the cross sails and spinnakers were used. However, Song Ke still saw the two rows of closed gun doors on the ship. It seems that these ships are warships specially used for combat.

While Song Ke was observing the fleet that was moving away, a small boat quickly approached. Through their banner, Song Ke knew that the people on the ship were water diverters. Song Ke looked at the boat, muttered, and said, "It seems that they are not that savage, and they also know how to use water diverters."

After the water diverter boarded the ship, the ship raised his sails again and sailed towards the port. The port is a naturally formed harbor that can accommodate many ships. Song Ke saw many people busy at both ends of the port, throwing large pieces of stones into the seabed. It can be seen that they are building two breakwaters.

Song Ke also found that there were two ships inside the bay that were cleaning the bottom of the bay. Then Song Ke saw the ships parked in the port. He counted silently in his mind that a total of 12 warships were parked on the dock, and many sailors were transporting supplies to the ship. In addition, more than 30 Chinese sea ships were parked on the berth.

Song Ke pretended to be careless and asked: "Young man, I see those ships being replenished. Are they going to go out to fight?"

The water diverter glanced at the dock and said relaxedly: "Yes, sir. The northern route has not been peaceful recently. They are going to clear some pirates,

It will set out tomorrow morning. Another group of ships patrolling the sea will come back tomorrow to rest."

Song Ke heard this and thought about it and did not ask any questions. Instead, he talked to the water diversion officer without hesitation. He also introduced his identity and the ship guided by the water diversion officer entered the dock.

Song Ke and his ships were docked and walked to the land on a shaking springboard. He stomped the ground with his feet. Song Ke felt very strange. Where did these pirates find such large pieces of stone to build the pier? Moreover, the stones are the same size and have no texture yet.

Just when Song Ke wanted to study these stones, the water diverter bowed to Song Ke and said, "Mr. Governor, Mr. Liu here once told me that the Netherlands are our friends and you will be well received here. He also told me that if you come here, you must notify him. I have sent someone to notify Mr. Liu, and he should arrive soon."

Song Ke was very satisfied with this. He asked with a reserved and straightened his chest, "Is Mr. Liu the one you mentioned, the one who went to our place?"

The water diversion officer said, "Yes, he is a celebrity around our boss! I guess he will arrive after you wait for a moment."

Of course, Song Ke was willing to wait. He was more willing to ask something from the water diversion officer. But after the two of them said a few words, several people came from a distance. Song Ke recognized that the leader was Liu Dahai.

Liu Dahai walked quickly to Song Ke and bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Governor! I didn't expect to meet Mr. Governor so soon! Since you are here, please be sure to give me a chance to entertain you!"

Song Ke smiled and said, "Is that so good! I can't wait."

Liu Dahai also smiled and said, "Believe me, Mr. Governor. Although the ingredients here are not rich, it will definitely leave a deep impression on you. By the way, Mr. Governor, why did you come here in person?"

Song Ke said: "I'm very interested in the free trade zone you mentioned. So I plan to take a look in person. If possible, I'm also going to buy a batch of tea and porcelain to go back."

Liu Dahai said with great care: "Don't worry, Mr. Governor. I promise to provide you with sufficient goods. So, Mr. Governor, this is your first time here. I will take you on the island.

Let’s change your mind to increase your understanding.”

Liu Dahai's request was a desperate task for Song Ke! He needed to carefully evaluate the true strength of this group of people. Although he had requested Batavia to send support for combat ships and issued a combat plan, all of this could be changed.

If the Red Eye Dragon King is indeed difficult to defeat, or he is a suitable ally, Song Ke doesn't mind joining the Red Eye Dragon King to wipe out Liu Xiang. In his opinion, it is a joke to keep the promises of these inferior people! So Song Ke happily agreed to Liu Dahai's request. After he ordered the sailors to rest freely, he followed Liu Dahai to turn around the island.

Liu Dahai first led him around the dock. Song Ke saw six turrets under construction. These six turrets firmly protected the port area. Judging from the size of the turret, each turret will have at least two or more cannons inside. They will pose a fatal threat to the incoming enemy ships.

Then, accompanied by Liu Dahai, Song Ke visited the warehouse area and the rest area. He had seen many of his sailors wandering around the rest area, and he knew that his sailors would bring back enough information.

Then they came to the trading hall. In the trading hall, Liu Dahai explained to him in detail the operating rules of the entire free trade zone. Song Ke couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly after hearing this. He deeply understood the benefits of the operation of this rule. It would greatly speed up the speed of goods and improve efficiency. In time, the hall in front of him, which seemed a bit empty, would definitely be crowded with merchants from all directions. This will become the most prosperous commercial distribution center in Asia!

After they left the hall, Song Ke pointed to the camp not far away and said, "My friend, what is that place? It seems to be a military camp."

Liu Dahai said: "Yes, that's a military camp. After all, the people who come here have bad tempers and need soldiers to help them calm down so that they can do business better."
