With the help of the northeast monsoon, the Lu family fleet successfully docked at the Badaohe wharf.

Oh my God, it's the first time Wen Tianxiang has seen such a big pier!

It was a pier with no edge in sight------ and the mast on which the sails had landed was probably more than the trees on the hill; The boom swinging back and forth on the pier is busy like a flag in the wind!

In the end, the Lu family's fleet had to stop at Pier 59------ which was five miles away from the customs.

Captain Lu told Wen Tianxiang that he and his sailors had been here many times and were too familiar with Badaohe City, so they just wanted to stop in the dock area and not enter the customs.

There are also inns and restaurants in the so-called docklands, like a small town, which are for sailors who do not want to enter the customs.

Captain Lu also said, if you want to see the owner of Zhang, you only need to explain to the people there when you enter the customs, show the letter from my Lu family, and you will be properly settled.

The 500 people you bring with you will have quite a lot of arrangements, don't worry, their temporary camp once received 3,000 people at a time, and everyone still had food and sleep, and they were very comfortable.

Wen Tianxiang nodded in gratitude, and the rest was up to himself.

Wen Tianxiang took five hundred villagers to follow the direction of Lu Chuan's guidance, and the five hundred of them walked on the wide cement pier without the slightest feeling of crowding!

When they got closer to the boom, they realized that the one on Liuqiu Island was far bigger and taller than the one on the Lu family's wharf!

The entire pier seemed to be roaring, with white vapor and black soot everywhere, and occasionally a shrill whistle could be heard.

There were many laborers on the docks, and they were of all colors, but they were busy.

Some loaded, some unloaded, and ------ Wen Tianxiang, who was driving a flatbed four-wheeled carriage to transport goods back and forth, even saw the rumbling camel machine iron car with his own eyes, which was only introduced in the "Liuqiu Times".

The group subconsciously walked in line, for fear of running into something.

None of those villagers were as knowledgeable as Wen Tianxiang, and when they saw a few pot camel machines running on the Lujia Wharf, they still thought it was funny, but when they suddenly arrived at a place where there were roaring machines everywhere, they couldn't help but be timid.

Even the smell of soot and water vapor in the air deepened their fears.

Wen Tianxiang and his party don't know, some of the leaders of the tribe knelt on the dock and howled when they came here by boat------ they probably thought they had arrived at the devil's place, otherwise where could they see so much steel moving?!

Wen Tianxiang's face did not change, but his mouth was dry, and he felt that it seemed a little difficult to persuade Zhang Island Master.

By the time they got to the customs, they were in a better mood, the sound of the machines was much quieter, and they saw buildings that they could understand.

Although it is a square four-story building, after all, there are four big characters of Huang Cancan's Liuqiu Customs on it.

Wen Tianxiang and his fellow villagers looked up together, it was the biggest word they had ever seen.

Wen Tianxiang thought, this word is too ordinary, there is no momentum------ this makes him feel better.

The boxy windows of the whole building are made of Liuqiu glass------ he knows that the use of Liuqiu glass is very good, but it is more expensive.

The cost of this building is not low.

They are large in number and neatly dressed, so they are easy to notice.

As they crossed Customs Square and were about to enter the gate with twelve doors, a man in a white uniform and a light blue hat came out with a woman in the same clothes, but in a boat-shaped cap.

Wen Tianxiang looked at the woman's hat very curiously, he had never seen it, it was stranger than the pleated white dress on her body------ but it was also very good-looking.

The man claimed to be the head of the customs hall and asked where they came from and where they went.

Wen Tianxiang said it truthfully.

The woman held a board with a paper in it and looked at it.

After a while, she said: "Section Chief Wang, there has been no epidemic in Ganzhou and Jinghu in the past three months, and you can directly clear the customs!" ”

Wen Tianxiang hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, saying that he wanted to hand it over to the owner of Zhang Island in person.

The section chief Wang took it and took a look, and the signature and red lacquer insignia on the cover were completely the old friend Lu Wenhuan of Liuqiu Island.

Section Chief Wang became even more polite, he asked his subordinates to personally lead Wen Tianxiang to the hall to go through the formalities, as for the five hundred people, he personally arranged that they would go directly to the resettlement camp from another channel------ where they could make up the formalities later.

Wen Tianxiang followed the woman into the hall.

Oh my God, he'd never seen such a wide and bright hall!

The bright marble floors and walls seem to be a bit dazzling!

The hall was full of people, and there were long queues in several places, and there were all dressed people!

The hall was surrounded by long counters, behind which hundreds of young men in white uniforms and blue hats worked.

Wen Tianxiang carefully followed the woman and found that the black thick leather shoes she was wearing looked good.

Wen Tianxiang was wearing Eucommia rubber-soled canvas fast shoes, and he couldn't feel the ground slippery.

The woman arrived at a counter and said, "The Lu family has sent someone to send a secret letter to our Zhang Island Master, and you can help him pass the customs alone." ”

The woman agreed, and immediately handed a form to the counter.

Wen Tianxiang picked it up and looked at it with concentration, and then was relieved, nothing more than filling in his name, gender, age, origin, etc.

Wen Tianxiang saw iron pens on the counter, as well as brushes and ink.

He picked up the brush casually and wrote a small block letter------ his calligraphy is quite good!

The woman waited for him to finish writing, and after the woman at the counter stamped the red seal, she handed it to Wen Tianxiang and said: "With this slip, you can walk as much as you want on Liuqiu Island------ you can also live in our customs guest house for free, there are rooms for all kinds of messengers to live in, and there is no money for food and lodging------ you can hand over the letter to me, and I will hand it over." ”

Wen Tianxiang shook his head and said, "No! General Lu asked me to personally hand it over to your island master. ”

"Okay! I'll take you to the guest house. ”

In fact, the woman only looked at Wen Tianxiang's outfit and felt that he couldn't afford to live in a Liuqiu Hotel, so she kindly arranged for him to be in a guest house that entertained old friends for free.

In fact, Wen Tianxiang's family is a rich second generation, and he carries a lot of money in his arms.

The woman sent him to the Wandering Lodge and went back to his life.

The Ryuku Guest House has only three floors and dozens of rooms, and strangely enough, it is covered with tiles------

Wen Tianxiang, led by a guy dressed in a short coat, went up to the second floor, and then entered a room.

The room is cramped, but the windows are large and bright.

Under the window was a large bed, flanked by two coffee tables, one with a kerosene lamp and the other with a teapot and teacups.

Wen Tianxiang was happy that the sheet was snow-white, and it seemed that the mattress was very thick.

When he was in Ganzhou, he slept and begged for a mattress.

The guy pushed open the other door and said, "Look, this is the place to wash and convenient. ”

Wen Tianxiang looked at it, and first saw a white porcelain squatting pit in the corner of the wall, and an iron box was hung on the wall, and a rope hung down the iron box.

The guy said: "Remember that when it is convenient, no matter how big or small, you must pull the rope."

He made a demonstration, and when he pulled, the squatting pit gushed out of the water, and it washed away from the other mouth.

The guy pointed to a hanging iron pipe on the wall and said: "This is used in the shower, as long as you pull off the handle, there will be water coming out------ the wrench below is to control the hot and cold water, remember, the left is hot and the right is cold!"

You can also push that barrel over and take a bath in hot water------"

Wen Tianxiang saw a wooden barrel behind a curtain------ which was so good, he was too familiar with this.
