Chapter 188 Exploring Sea Routes

After wiping out all of Tian Hu's evil forces, recovering Liangshan's snowflake refined salt and the fine war horses they had purchased, as well as reaping the resources and wealth accumulated by Tian Hu and his men over the years, Lin Chong could not be happy no matter what. That was because Liangshan also lost Huangfu Duan and Duan Jingzhu, two people who were well versed in horse training, as well as more than a hundred brothers who grew up together and understood business. You know, what Liangshan lacked most was people who understood horses and business operations to form a cavalry.

Lin Chong arranged for Wu Song, Shi Qian and others to escort hundreds of horses slowly back to Liangshan. He himself reached Ryukyu and Kyushu Island through the transmission function of the space-time router system, quickly stored the gold and silver recently mined and refined on Kyushu Island into the storage space, and then returned to Lin'an Prefecture.

It was about a week after Li Qingzhao was bitten by the leopard, so it should have healed almost completely! It was time to visit her and if there was any inflammation, it should be adjusted in time.

Hearing that the leader of the stronghold, Lin Chong, had returned, the brothers of the Royal Guard Camp also rushed back to report the situation. A lot of houses and shops by the West Lake had already been ordered and they were just waiting for Lin Chong to come and complete all the payments and transfer of ownership. At this time, the houses and shops could only be held under an individual's name, so Lin Chong soon owned hundreds of houses and shops around the West Lake.

Because most of the houses and shops were purchased with the help of Li Qingzhao's housekeeper, Li Qingzhao and her father Li Gefei were aware of these circumstances. They never expected that Lin Chong actually possessed such a huge amount of wealth.

Li Qingzhao's injuries had basically healed, and there was no sign of inflammation. Li Gefei's impression of Lin Chong also changed. The rough man he initially thought of turned out to be a wealthy son, and he had such magical medicine on him. Even a prince could not have such power, so he allowed his daughter to date Lin Chong freely.

Li Qingzhao, who had been bored at home for more than ten days, finally had to escape from her cage-like life. When she heard that Lin Chong had returned, she excitedly rushed to the Lin family's new house by the West Lake to congratulate him and asked Lin Chong to take her out to sea for a trip.

Lin Chong also wanted to visit Ningbo and other places in the south, so he agreed to Li Qingzhao's proposal. The two agreed to set off together tomorrow for a spontaneous sea trip.

Lin Chong had tried this many times before. He had stored the giant sea ships produced by Liangshan under the leadership of Yu Pan Gan and Meng Kang into the storage space of the space-time router system. He had also practiced sailing and controlling sea ships with the seven Ruan brothers, and it just came in handy at this time.

The next day, Lin Chong led dozens of Liangshan brothers to meet Li Qingzhao and set off from Lin'an Port, heading south along the coastline. At that time, the social, economic, and political system design of the Song Dynasty was the most advanced in the world at that time. The court attached unprecedented importance to the income of the Maritime Customs Office. The huge tax revenue brought by overseas trade provided strong support for the court's various projects. Ningbo was called Mingzhou at that time, and Mingzhou Seaport had become the busiest port, followed by Quanzhou Port in Fujian.

Mingzhou (Ningbo) was very prosperous because of its convenience of port and canal. If a Song Dynasty merchant ship loaded with goods wanted to sail far away, it only needed a government certificate to set off at any time. With Li Gefei's high-ranking official status, it was natural for him to get the government certificate very easily.

When they arrived at Mingzhou Port, Lin Chong, Li Qingzhao and others saw from afar that the ships coming from the ocean had just unloaded rare birds, gems, spices and other supplies, and were immediately filled up with tea, silk and porcelain, and then set off again.

At this time, Mingzhou (Ningbo) was in a period of rapid development in politics, economy, culture and other fields. Mingzhou was also listed as the "superior state" in the world by the Song court, that is, the state with the best economic strength.
