He had indeed taken the journey south seriously.
"Not only that, there are also troops stationed there. There aren't many, but there are about 3000 of them ... To maintain order on the journey south."
"This ship is really fast. I suspect that Minister hou and the others may have just crossed the South not long ago ... It's actually faster to enter the North Sea by this road, but it's not very convenient to transport by land."
Hou Xiaochen's group most likely didn't take this path, but rather walked on land, so they wouldn't go south. However, from their location, if they went south and passed through the entrance to the North Sea, they would be able to directly enter the North Sea province, which was closer than on land.
As he spoke, Wang Ming said with some anticipation,"If we don't find any Pirates by the time we reach the South ... Why don't we go there for some fun? How about I treat you? The food, drinks, and entertainment there ... Were all better than in white moon City. "Moreover, the atmosphere isn't oppressive. It has the feeling of a commercial capital, unlike Whitemoon city, which has the feeling of a political and cultural Center. It's too serious ..."
Li Hao didn't scold him. Instead, he smiled and said,""Is it really that fun?"
"Of course! "You haven't seen the leader before. He's feasting and having beautiful women everywhere. He spends money like it's nothing. He's rich and you can have whatever you want ..."
As Wang Ming spoke, he became more and more excited."Why don't I bring you out to play? the girls there are very beautiful and famous ..."
"Cough cough!"
Liu Long coughed lightly and interrupted Wang Ming.
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became!
This wasn't a one-on-one communication. Wang Ming was about to burst out laughing at this time, and they were having a direct conversation.
Beside him, someone was looking at him with disdain.
For example, Hong Qing and Liu Yan ... However, they were all wearing black armors, so it was hard to tell.
Wang Ming chuckled and didn't care as he continued, "It's true, Regiment commander. I said that after the patrol is over, we can go and have fun. It's not like we're doing it now. Why are you all looking at me?"
He didn't delay any important matters.
"Shut up."
Li Hao didn't say anything. He looked into the distance. As the boat moved forward, there seemed to be more merchant ships on the sea. He could even vaguely see some lights. Some merchant ships were also brightly lit.
There was no such thing in the White moon City.
The small boat avoided these boats, and the more it moved forward, the more prosperous it felt.
It was already late at night, but the lights in the distance seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. In the distance, there was a city that seemed to never sleep, which was very new to Li Hao.
Yes, he had never seen such a night view before.
After 10 O' clock in the evening, there were almost no lights in Silver City.
White moon City, on the other hand, was relatively serious and quiet. However, Li Hao, who had sharp ears and eyes, seemed to hear some music from a distance.
Li Hao, who came from a small city, looked like a country bumpkin.
In fact, when Wang Ming said he wanted to go out and play ... Ahem, he was a little tempted, but in order to maintain his image, he chose to silently refuse.
So many people are here!
However, if they did not see anything by the time they reached the intersection of the moon and the sea, they could take a rest at the South. The North Sea was too big and they could easily get lost.
As Li Hao thought about this, he was getting closer and closer to that place.
The city was vaguely visible under the light.
What a bright city!
Even Li Hao was surprised to find a city that never slept in Silver moon's northern border. It was midnight, but there were still many lights on the distant beach, even bonfires.
There was even singing!
Someone snorted next to him. Li Hao turned his head and saw Hong Qing snorting,""It's said that the North is already in turmoil, and so is Silver Moon, yet these people are still singing and dancing in the middle of the night. As the ancient saying goes,'a merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of a fallen country, but she still sings of the backyard flowers across the river.'"
Wang Ming wasn't convinced and quickly explained,"This is the capital of commerce. The North isn't in chaos yet, and even if it is ... Going south, which is famous for its Harbor business, will be useless without these songs. Do you know how much less Silver Moon will have to pay if it's useless? Going south is an important port, and it's even used as a channel for transporting resources. Without the prosperity of going south, at least thirty million of Silver moon's hundreds of millions of people would have no food to eat ... This is no exaggeration!"
"Silver Moon is poor to begin with, and it doesn't have any local specialties. It's only by traveling South that it's been able to survive for half a year ... What do you know? the song is still here, so you can secretly be happy. If it's really gone ... Hehe, then we'll be in big trouble!"
What the two of them said seemed to make sense.
Li Hao also felt a little strange. He glanced at Wang Ming, who was trying to defend himself. Was it really as he had said, that the singing South represented Silver moon's prosperity, or was he just trying to make himself look good when he actually just liked this prosperous scene?
Of course, no matter what, Wang Ming's words still made sense.
As the outermost Southern port city of Silver Moon, the entire Silver Moon would suffer a great loss if the situation there were to deteriorate.
Hong Qing, who was still snorting, was a little confused when he heard this.
Was it?
She actually didn't really understand, but she felt that this place was too prosperous and didn't fit in with some of the news she'd heard. Hearing Wang Ming say this, she couldn't help saying,"Can the bustling South really feed so many people?"
"How can this be fake?"
Wang Ming sneered."Read more books and read more newspapers. The taxes here are heavy. It's not just the people of the South who make money from business, but the annual taxes also feed more than half of Silver moon's official system. Our salary depends on these. The central region hasn't supported us in recent years and hasn't allocated any funds, so we can only rely on ourselves. This place is also in charge of transporting some important resources, such as food from the other provinces in the North and the central region ..."
