Chapter 239, Port Keya
Koya Port, the largest port on Koya Island.
Koya Island is not an island unified by the regime, but an island ruled by a noble alliance.
Let me put it this way, Koya Island covers an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers, with three count-level nobles, five viscount-level nobles and twelve baron-level nobles. In this world that is said to be composed of large and small islands, any noble needs to own a port.
If you don’t have a port, no matter how large the land area you have, you will not be granted the status of a noble. After all, this is a world of oceans.
Then, in addition to these 20 nobles who control the ports, there are three gods on Koya Island each control one port, and the same Koya Commercial Alliance controls one port. In other words, there are 24 ports in the entire Koya Island.
Well, the port here refers to the hardware facilities with cranes, deep water piers and lighthouses, which are called ports and are also considered powerhouses on Koya Island. As for the small docks that have circled the island, they do not count at all, and no one thinks they exist.
This is the difference between a village and a city. People who master cities are called city lords, and people who own villages are called village chiefs. The huge difference can be imagined.
Knowing the situation on Koya Island, you will naturally think that the largest port, which is the leader of Koya Port, is controlled by one of the three earls?
No, the controller of Koya Port is the Koya Island Commercial Alliance. In this world, almost all ports named after the islands are controlled by such commercial alliances. Even if not, the commercial alliances also occupy a large proportion of such ports.
There is no way, only these merchants can build the port they control to the largest of the island. If they were aristocrats, they would have many ideas and concerns, and they could not act like merchants who were focused on making money. Naturally, the ports controlled by the aristocrats could not be compared with those controlled by merchants.
Therefore, this Koya Port is so busy every day and night, and more than 70% of the import and export business of Koya Island is completed by this port.
In the face of this situation, will the nobles be happy? Of course they will not be happy. But the nobles themselves are in a mess and cannot work together to suppress the merchants. In order to prevent the merchants from colluding with outsiders, these members of the merchant alliance who control the port will automatically obtain the lowest level of knight status.
The merchant is also very passionate about this knight's identity, because it can legitimately own territory and armed forces! This is the best thing for businessmen who are wandering around to do business.
Then because these ports are controlled by the nobles, Koya Island is naturally an island ruled by the noble alliance.
Chen Haoran, who was driving the ship, naturally took the port with one pick.
Of course he didn't know that this was a port controlled by the Merchant Alliance and a port with super loose freedom. He just saw on the map that the port was the largest area, the largest ships and the largest population, so he chose this place.
As soon as I saw the lighthouse in the port from afar, a fast small oar boat carrying a flag was coming. Chen Haoran, who had not learned systematically, certainly did not know what the flag was on the bow of the boat, but when he saw the maid rabbit who controlled the sails directly lowered half of the sail, he naturally woke up.
Lock the rudder, walked out of the deck, looked at his maid rabbit with a look on the side, and reached out to touch its head.
He sighed in his heart: "No wonder these dead rabbits are also called divine pets in some places, because they can master all the knowledge in any place without distinction, as long as they are interested. Yes, the premise is that they have to be interested, and there is no need to say anything if they are not interested."
"Hey, I don't know what the identity of the mastermind behind this system in my brain is. I know so many secret things, and it is obvious that I have been traveling around in many worlds. I just wonder why such a big guy has a system for me, and I will misunderstand that I am reborn?"
"The purpose is for our hometown world? It is very likely that the memory system instilled will make me think that it is natural for me to be in and out of other worlds, and I can't even think about letting the world consciousness wake up. If I really have to act according to the false memory, my world may really evolve according to the future of false memory."
Thinking that countless spaces in the false memory are open in their own world, thinking that humans in their own world can only guard the basics and cannot develop, look at the Hailan World, a world that looks like a semi-finished product, has become so awesome because of having Hailan consciousness, Chen Haoran couldn't help but think that after he went back, he would awaken the consciousness of his own world!
This feeling of having no way to home is really unhappy! There is no sense of security at all.
The small boat overturned the slurry boat did not stop at all. Seeing Chen Haoran's sail slow down, the boat went back in circles and circled back.
And when he passed by, the flag-speaking man shouted directly: "What cargo is in the boat?"
Chen Haoran raised his eyebrows and scanned the language pack given by Hailan. Is this Koya Island language? Is this Koya Island?
As soon as this idea came out, the map automatically appeared in sight. Then there were three words "Koya Island" on the island, and the three words "Koya Port" on the largest port. Well, these three words are Chen Haoran's native language Xia text.
Seeing this, Chen Haoran couldn't help but be sly: "Hey, it's really an instant map. Is this a little fun that HaiLan specially left for me to discover?"
"There is food and wine!" Chen Haoran replied in Koya at the same time.
The standard Koya language made the man holding the flag look at Chen Haoran a few times, obviously wondering why this person who spoke fluent Koya language had never seen him?
However, this kind of businessman is traveling around the world, and it is nothing to do when occasionally encountering foreigners who are proficient in local languages.
So he just nodded, shouted, "Come with me!" and drove towards the port with the ship.
Chen Haoran naturally returned to the rudder and followed the waves of the ship in front of him in control direction.
Don’t think you can reach the port without paying attention to the pilot. Let’s not talk about the problem that the waterway will be hit by the reef if you are not familiar with it. Just a busy port like this, every waterway and every dock is set early. If you do something randomly, you will crash into a boat and cause a commotion and shut down several waterways and piers, that would be a big deal.
Also, in this mature port, any terminal collects and delivers all goods. However, outsiders don’t understand these rules. If you park randomly, there will be no benefit except delaying time.
Therefore, when foreign ships arrive at mature ports, they follow the pilot's actions in order to save trouble.
When they were almost at the dock, the sails of Chen Haoran's ship had been lowered by the maid rabbit. They threw the ropes to the slurry boat in front and dragged Chen Haoran's ship slowly into the dock.
As soon as the ship got closer and stopped, an official immediately came with a man who looked like a few soldiers and boarded the boat. Chen Haoran naturally subconsciously touched his wallet and greeted him, because it was obvious that this was someone who came to collect parking fees and other fees.
