Chapter 690 Responding at Sea ([-])
Qi Ke listed one, two, three, four ideas on the electronic sticky note for the follow-up things to be done after robbing the ship, wrote and opened a new blank page to think about how to write a notice to the village, a short paragraph of hundreds of words, I have deleted, deleted and revised it several times, but I always feel dissatisfied.

"Not finished yet?" After the boat finally anchored successfully, Zhao Lin came behind Qi Ke, just in time to see her delete the second half of a paragraph.

"No, I've been thinking about telling the village that we have robbed a pirate fighting boat and asking them to find a way to meet us, will it scare them."

"If you are scared, you will definitely be scared. If you get scared a few times, you will get used to it." Zhaolin said lightly, "Don't think too much, if you feel that a sentence is not clear, divide it into several paragraphs so that Yu Yu can run a few more times. Come on, try your best to pass the news back, let the people on the shore find a way to take us back, we have all grabbed the boat in our hands, we can't follow up and we have to teach them how to do it. When we go ashore, This ship will definitely not land in Erma Town, we just need to keep the benefits we can get from ourselves and the village, and don't take care of other things."

"Huh?" Qi Ke stopped typing, frowned, and seriously recalled the geographical environment of Erma Town, and suddenly realized, "Erma Town does not have a dock for large ships. After Bai Qing heard the news, his subordinates The towns that have the conditions will snatch this ship to the bone."

"The Black Flag Gang will send a boat to look for them when they find out that their subordinates have lost contact. We are floating on the sea, and the water is limited. The captives on the boat will resist at any time to take back their boats. All kinds of dangers are imminent. Bai Qing doesn't have much time to watch his subordinates fight. To grab this boat, he must make a decision in the shortest possible time where the boat will stop."

"What do you think he will decide?"

"According to the principle of proximity, the estuary is the nearest." At the height of Qi Ke's sitting position, Zhao Lin projected a map in front of her eyes, which is the environment of an estuary that flows into the sea. Dilapidated wharf.

"Is this the mouth of the sea?"

"Yes, this is the mouth of the Jiuzhi River named after Jiuzhi Mountain, the mother river of the people in Heyang Prefecture. It happens to be in Donglin County."

"Last time, Bai Qing said that there is a tributary in his Qianhusuo that can directly flow into the sea. Did you mean this?"

"Yes, Bai Qing's main duty here should be to guard the estuary, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why General Bai brought his eldest son here. The most dangerous place is naturally the best place to earn military merit."

"Which entrance did the goods on Haishi Street in Dong'an Prefecture come in from?"

"There are many sources of goods in Haishi Street. There are many coastal counties and towns that can dock sea ships. Even if there is no estuary, they can be transshipped by land and sea. After unloading, they can be transported to the inland by land. But the main stream of the Jiuzhi River has only these estuaries. One, it doesn’t matter if all the other tributaries entering the sea are classified as civil, because the navigation capability of the tributaries is a natural limitation, and the main river must be in the hands of the imperial court.”

"Is there a boat on this main stream now?"

"Definitely not, otherwise the good natural estuary would not be dilapidated like this. It is estimated that this section of water has been placed under the control of the East China Sea Navy, but the former frontier army did not manage and use it properly."

"This shouldn't be the case. The former frontier soldiers were sitting on the wharves that flowed into the sea. They were big landlords, and they could earn a lot of money from customs taxes and tolls."

"We have no way of knowing the great achievements of the predecessor." Zhao Lin shrugged regretfully. Speaking of it this way, the former frontier soldier was indeed quite strange.
