Linyi is located in the southeast coastal area of the Indochina Peninsula, bordering the Tang Dynasty in the north, but the Tang Dynasty does not attach much importance to the land in the south, so the area bordering Linyi is very desolate, and there are not many people living there.

In recent years, the rise of industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty has affected grain production, but Linyi is an important grain-producing area, so many businessmen have seized the opportunity and started the business of grain transportation. And Datang's Yanzhou, as the closest port to Linyi, was slowly affected and began to prosper, so Datang also added some garrisons here.

However, the prosperity of Yanzhou City only lasted for a while, and as Li Su put two new types of ships into use, the continuous navigation capacity of the sea fleet was greatly improved, and the demand for the port also decreased somewhat. And Yanzhou City is too close to Linyi, so instead of berthing in Yanzhou, the ships passing from Linyi should go directly through the sea and reach Leizhou and other places, which can save a lot of time, and since then, Yanzhou Port has slowly returned to its original state, and the garrison has also been withdrawn.

However, as the closest port city to Linyi, Yanzhou City is not useless, for example, there are often some fleets of unknown origin here, although they are under the banner of buying grain from Linyi Country, but they are rarely seen pulling back grain from Linyi. Other experienced people found that when these fleets went to Linyi, the drafts of the ships were relatively deep. It means that the ships are carrying goods, and the draft when they come back is much shallower.

Actually, most people don't know. The port of Yanzhou is not completely deserted, but relies on its own advantages. Embarked on another path, and that path was smuggling. Even in an era of highly developed information like the 21st century, smuggling cannot be eradicated, let alone in a backward era like Datang.

With the development of maritime trade, Datang's major ports have set up city berth divisions to manage port supervision, taxation and other related matters. Because the profits of maritime trade in this era were relatively large, the taxes were also relatively high, and Datang also stipulated many goods that were prohibited from being sold abroad, such as steel and cement.

No, this comes with the advent of the City Parking Division. The corresponding smuggling has also begun to take root on the soil of Datang, after all, there are people who take risks for the sake of interests, for this situation, although Datang is trying its best to crack down, but there is no way to completely eradicate it, and Li Su's current strength is still insufficient, and he can't help Datang crack down on smuggling, so along the Datang coast, the smuggling situation is still quite serious. For example, the port of Yanzhou is an important port for Datang to smuggle to Linyi.

On this day, the sun was shining in Yanzhou Port, and the wind was also very suitable, making it a good day to go to sea. The fishing boats in the fishing port have already gone to sea early to start a busy day's work, and although Yanzhou Port has been affected. But as a fishing port, Yanzhou has been vigorously developed. More than a dozen canneries have been opened in the city, specializing in canned fish. And the sales are not bad, every few days there will be a fleet of ships to transport canned food to the inland to sell.

But today's situation is a little special, along with the fishing boats to go to sea, there is also a strange caravan, this caravan under the banner of Dengzhou grain merchants, at dawn, with those fishing boats that go to sea late, when this fleet and fishing boats pass by, many fishermen find that the crew of this fleet looks fierce, and they don't look like ordinary people, and the ships in the fleet are also exceptionally tall and strong, and the ships are also equipped with weapons, and at a glance they know that they are ships that often run to the ocean, Because only such a ship can be built so strongly, and as for the weapons on board, they are to guard against pirates.

Generally speaking, ocean-going fleets like this will go to large ports like Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Keelung to berth, and rarely go to ports like Yanzhou, unless they are to avoid strong winds and waves, they will find a port to take shelter from, but recently, the sea off Yanzhou has been calm, and I have never heard of any big winds and waves passing by.

However, although the fishermen are strange, they don't have the time to care about a passing fleet, after all, for them, it is still the right thing to fish more and make more money, but now young people are ambitious, and most of the young people in Yanzhou would rather go north to Keelung or Guangzhou to break through, rather than stay at home to fish. Thinking of this, the elderly fishermen sighed.

In the same way, this fleet from Yanzhou will not care about the fishermen passing by, they also have their own things to do. On the largest ship in front of the fleet, a sturdy old man with a gray head stood at the bow of the boat, holding the railing with both hands, and although the expression on his face looked extremely calm, the eyes of the two tigers showed a little excitement.

At this moment, a young man with a short beard walked out of the cabin behind the old man, and although he was thin, he was very well dressed, and he looked very generous, and his appearance was nothing special, but his small eyes were full of shrewdness, and people knew at first sight that this person must be a very shrewd businessman.

When this very shrewd merchant saw the old man at the bow of the boat, he immediately came over with a smile, stood side by side with the old man and said, "Brother, it's still early, why don't you take a good rest?" ”

The old man knew who was coming from the footsteps, so he didn't even look back and said: "As I get older, I don't have any sleep, and this is the first thing Jingwei did for His Highness, so I have to think about it carefully, how can I not make any mistakes." ”

This gray-haired old man is Yang Lie, the judge in charge of the clean guard, and the person dressed as a businessman next to him is Yang Jiu, who made wine in Li Su's mansion, but although Yang Jiu is a very good winemaker, it is just a profession he uses to hide his true identity, in fact, he is the righteous son of Mr. Yang Lao, the king of Chuang, and the last power of the dirty guard.

Since they were put into Li Su's hands, Yang Jiu has been staying in Chang'an, helping Li Su collect information on Chang'an, until Wu Meiniang is pregnant, he and Mr. Yang went to Dengzhou together, officially managing overseas intelligence organizations, and now he and Yang Jiu and his wife, are Wu Meiniang's right-hand man, he took over the affairs of Linyi half a year ago, and this time he personally went out to prepare to end the matter of Linyi in one fell swoop.

Yang Lie is the nephew of Mr. Yang, so Yang Jiu naturally calls the other party his brother, and now hearing that Yang Lie is worried about the matter over Linyi, Yang Jiu said with a smile: "Brother don't worry, Mrs. Wei has been planning for this matter for several years, and all aspects have been prepared, and if there is no accident, I'm afraid there is no need for you to do it, so you can rest assured!" ”

The intelligence organization in Li Su's hands was born from Siwei, although he made some reforms to Siwei, but he retained the name of Siwei, and he is naturally the master of Siwei, and the people below are all commensurate with the Lord of Wei, but now Siwei is in charge of Wu Meiniang, and she is Li Su's person, so she let the people below call her by Mrs. Wei's code name.

In addition, it needs to be mentioned that although the name of the four guards has been retained, in fact, it is mainly composed of spy guards and dirty guards, and there is no need to form a financial guard, after all, an intelligence organization, if it has a strong source of financial resources, it will be too disturbing. The Jingwei was separated by Li Su and formed a very special team, which was under the direct jurisdiction of Li Su, but it was still in charge of Yang Lie, and it was their first time on a mission.

Yang Lie heard Yang Jiu's words, but he also said with a smile: "I naturally know this, it's just that people like to think crankily at this age, knowing that this time is not complicated, but I can't help but think about it more, it seems that the years are really unforgiving, after this mission is completed, I plan to hand over the things in my hands to Twelve and Thirteen to do, as for me, like my uncle, I will care for the elderly at home!" ”

When Yang Lie was still under Yang Jun's hands, the power of Jingwei was greatly reduced, especially the killers of the older generation could no longer be used, and the new generation of killers was not easy to cultivate, he spent more than ten years, and only trained sixteen young killers, who were commensurate with their code names, among which twelve and thirteen were the best, and his successor in the future would also be selected from the two.

"Haha~, if you say that you are old in front of your father-in-law, you will definitely provoke him to be beaten violently, I think his old man is nearly 100 years old this year, but he is still worried about the affairs of the four guards, so if you want to retire, you can't pass the level of your father-in-law alone!" Yang Jiu laughed when he heard this.

When Yang Lie heard Yang Jiu compare himself with his clan uncle Mr. Yang, he waved his hand again and again in fright and said: "Uncle clan is talented, and his energy is very comparable, my junior doesn't dare to compare with him, now I see that Jingwei can continue, and can get greater development, I am already satisfied, but I will not completely retreat, but help His Highness train people in the rear, as for the previous things that are killing and living, it is better to leave it to those young people to do!" ”

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a neat running on the deck behind them, and when they turned around, they just saw a team of dozens of people in black running over, these men in black lined up in a neat queue, running across the deck without squinting, although Yang Lie and Yang Jiu were their bosses, but none of them looked at them.

Looking at these black-clothed soldiers with faces like rocks and sturdy bodies, Yang Jiu's eyes also showed a bit of appreciation, although he didn't know how to train soldiers, but he could also see that these black-clothed people who had just run away were all extremely fierce soldiers, but there were still some differences between these soldiers and ordinary soldiers, and it was not for Yang Jiu to see the specific difference. And Yang Lie also looked at the man in black who ran over with appreciation, but in this appreciation, there was a little more smugness in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
