The boat slid to the dock, and the people on the boat built a wooden board on the dock to connect the boat and the dock.
"Young master, you can get off the boat." The boatman put the wooden board and turned around and said to Li Guozhu on the boat.
Lee Kwok-jo stood up from the boat, raised his legs and stepped on the wooden board, and walked to the dock a few steps.
Behind him, several men on the same boat followed him off the boat.
"Where are you commanders?"
Mo Lingde, a stout man standing behind Li Guozhu, was looking at the person with the tiger flag on the dock with dissatisfaction.
After Zheng Tie left the pier, he left a guard at the pier, waiting for the upcoming Li Guozhu and others.
The guard said expressionlessly: "The commander ordered me to wait for Mr. Li here. Since Mr. Li has arrived, please go with me to see the commander."
As he said that, his body turned sideways and made the way to the island.
"Why didn't your commander come to greet him at the dock? Did he know that Mr. Li has arrived?" Mo Lingde narrowed his eyes and stared at the tiger-shaped flag, his eyes flashing fiercely.
Sailors who often go out to sea with boats have a sense of evil spirit on their bodies.
The guard said calmly: "The commander only ordered Mr. Li to take him to the island to see him as soon as he arrived. As for other matters, Mr. Li, please!"
He raised his hand and made a request gesture.
"I'll let you, a servant, welcome our young master. What do you mean? Do you look down on our Li family?" Mo Lingde glared at the guard in front of him.
The attitude expressed seems to have the intention to take action at any time.
The guard ignored Mo Lingde, who was speaking, looked at Li Guozhu with a calm expression and asked, "Does Mr. Li want to go to the island to meet my commander?"
"Your tiger flag is really powerful. Even you, a servant who is not up to the top, dares to ignore my son." Mo Lingde cursed angrily.
Unfortunately, the guard ignored him at all.
However, when the other people on the dock saw the argument here, they gathered from all around and surrounded Li Guozhu and others.
Seeing this, Mo Lingde hurriedly protected Li Guozhu behind him and touched the hilt of the knife around his waist with one hand.
"Brother Mo Wu, don't be nervous." Li Guozhu patted Mo Lingde's forearm, stood up by himself, looked at the person with the tiger flag in front of him and said, "I'm here to meet you Commander Zheng, lead the way!"
The guard waved his hand at the people around him and immediately said to Li Guozhu: "Please come with me, Mr. Li!"
After saying that, he walked towards the island.
The people with the tiger flag around him gave up an aisle that accommodated a half-person passing through.
"Let's go, Brother Mo Wu." Li Guozhu greeted and followed.
Mo Lingde looked at the people with the tiger flag around him vigilantly, and then said to his own people: "Leave one person on the boat, and the others will go to the island with me."
The boat sent five people in total. In addition to the people guarding the boat, the remaining two people followed Lee Kwok-jo and Mo Lingde to the island.
"I really didn't expect that there was such a big change in Bengang." Li Guozhu looked at the surrounding farmland and said with emotion.
The scattered fields indicate that large areas of land have been reclaimed.
The forests in the past have also become fields, with many sugar canes with green skin planted on them.
Further away, there are rows of brick and stone walls. At this time, the main door is opened, revealing rows of houses.
This is not the first time he has come to Bengang. When Yan Siqi was still alive, he visited Ten Villages, but the scene in front of him is far larger than Yan Siqi's Ten Villages.
The guard who led the way did not answer the conversation and walked in a hurry.
"Hmph, if Yan Dadang had not had the hard work of reclaiming the Daguan Island in the past, they would not have been like today." Mo Lingde, who was following Li Guozhu, snorted in his nose.
Li Guozhu smiled and did not respond. Instead, he pointed his hand at the house in front and asked, "Did Commander Zheng live in front?"
The direction he pointed was the closest castle.
The guard who led the way looked in the direction pointed by Lee Kwok-suke's finger, then shook his head and said, "No, I have to go in."
"Aren't these houses in front?" Li Guozhu exclaimed.
In the past, Yan Siqi lived in Bengang, and lived in wooden houses. The outer circle was surrounded by fences made of branches and wood, which was far inferior to the castle made of bricks and stones in front of him.
Underneath your feet is a road made of gravel.
Halfway through the road, there was an extra fork in the road. In addition to the road leading to the castle ahead, another road bypassed the castle and led to a deeper part of the island.
The development of the Dayuan Island is limited, and the most unabridged thing on the island is large forests.
Just on both sides of an inland river leading to the port not far from the castle, there are many dense forests that block the appearance deeper inside.
"Young Master, be careful, the person with the tiger flag may not have good intentions." Mo Lingde, who was walking aside, whispered.
Li Guozhu nodded slightly.
In his opinion, the castle in front of him was already the best house. As the commander, Zheng Tie could not keep a good house and live in a forest with a worse environment.
In addition, after he arrived, he was not warmly treated by the Tiger Flag, so he was inevitably worried that the people with the Tiger Flag would do something unfavorable to him.
As the group walked around the castle along the gravel road, a large open area appeared in front of them.
The fields on both sides are full of sugar cane. Looking around, there are a piece of green squids, and there is no way to see at first sight. Only a road in the middle can accommodate large trucks passing through.
"No wonder the cargo ship with the Tiger Flag brought a lot of sugar every time, and actually reclaimed so many fields to grow sugarcane." Li Guozhu said enviously.
Although Hirado can also grow sugarcane, it can only plant a small amount, which is far from comparable to Dayuan Island. There is enough land and you can plant as much as you want.
Importantly, the environment on Dayuan Island is so suitable for growing sugarcane.
Mo Lingde next to him also looked at the sugarcane field in front of him with a look of amazement.
In the past, I only knew that the ships of the Tiger Flag sold sugar, but now I saw so many sugarcane fields and realized how big the Tiger Flag had to squeeze sugar.
"You will arrive through this sugarcane field. Please let Mr. Li move." The guard who was walking in front of him stopped and couldn't help but urge him.
"The first time I saw so many sugarcane fields, I couldn't help but take a few more glances." Li Guozhu explained with a smile, and followed him with his feet.
The guard leading the way nodded, and continued to lead the way without saying a word.
The group walked out more than a mile, and then there were houses and a towering city wall in front of them. From the wall alone, it was taller than the castle I had passed before.
