Because he did not dare to do his best, it took only a 400-mile voyage, which took Ye Chang a total of two and a half days. He set out from Dengzhou on April 11th, and on the morning of April 13th, he saw the land through a telescope. The guide familiar with this sea area later confirmed that this was the destination of Duli Town, where they were visiting.

"Sure enough, as Shiyilang said, you only need to determine the direction and determine the sea route. It is only two days away from Dengzhou to Liaodong, and it is closer than Chang'an to Luoyang."

Ye Ying, Ye Ting and others, who had gone to sea for the first time, were worried for two and a half days, finally relieved their hunger and cheered one by one.

The two ships sailed slowly along the coast, looking for suitable places to dock. Except for the helmsman and sailors who could not leave their posts, the rest of the sailors rushed out.

The two ships carried more than 140 people, thirty of their own sailors, sixty recruited sailors, and more than fifty non-seasoners, they have been crowded on the ship these days, which is really boring enough.

Under the guidance of the guide, the two ships sailed northeast along the coast. After more than an hour, they saw a relatively open sea channel. The guide cheered: "It's here, when you enter this waterway, you will be Duli Town."

Ye Chang ordered the sampan to be put down, and a small boat with paddlings was placed off the boat. There were ten people carrying on the boat, eight of whom were paddlings, one measured and one recorded. Seeing this, the guide smiled and said, "Your husband doesn't have to be like this. The water here is deep and the way is wide. Your boat is not very well drawn. You can go there without any doubt."

"Even so, I'm afraid there will be reefs." Ye Chang said with a smile.

He knows the truth that a person who has traveled a hundred miles a day is half ninety. If he hits a reef and sinks here, he will have a heavy loss even if he can swim ashore. Moreover, he also wants to find a safe waterway for the large ship with deeper water in the future.

The sampan was measured very quickly, after all, it was only the first time to explore the waterway, and more detailed data will be added in the future. The sailboat slowly entered the waterway with the sampan, and suddenly felt that the weather was calm and the climate was pleasant.

"This place is good, this place is good," someone said with a smile.

But it was Shanzhi. He pointed to the left side of the waterway, where a small peninsula stretched out. The main body of the peninsula was a mountain: "The monk should have a big Buddha statue on this mountain to protect the safety of the ships."

Although the monk is stupid, he is not stupid. As soon as he said this, even though Ye Chang was just mediocre to Buddhism, he nodded: "Since the third brother has this intention, he will help him, but this matter is not urgent. What we need to do first is to find a foothold.

Duli Town is called a town, but in fact the population is not large. A small town and several villages are scattered, and the total population is only a few thousand. At first, the one who noticed Ye Chang and the others was the nameless fishing village at the mouth of the small river. Several fishermen were half farming and half fishing. Their fishing boats were about to return to sail, but they found that these two sailboats that they thought were "big ships" were sailing, and they all came closer.

"There are mostly Han people here. The Goguryeo people were moved inward. For decades, the Han people from Shandong and Andong have been living here and living together with the Huhu." The guide pointed to the people and said, "Occasionally, merchant ships come and go here, so the man is not afraid of the ships."

As the guide said, the fishing boats approached and followed the two boats. Someone from afar asked: "Did the guest come from Dengzhou? I don't know what the goods sell. If it is Korean ginseng, some people are willing to be the one among the guests...

Fishermen are poor, and occasionally merchants come up to show their attention, looking at how many errands can be made. Ye Chang smiled and leaned over and asked, "Are you Han people?"

"It's Han people, it's Han people"

"Okay, you can guide me, where can you get ashore?"

"Langjun can dock when he goes straight to Duli."

"Where is outside the Duli?" Ye Chang was not going to Duli Town. In his opinion, since there was already a building there, it was not where he wanted.

What he wants is a piece of white paper that can be painted at will.

Several fishermen muttered for a while, but couldn't tell anything. Ye Chang didn't ask, looked around and saw that there seemed to be no buildings in the west, so he pointed there: "Where is there?"

"Wild forest." The fisherman shouted.

There was a large dense forest over there, stretching straight to the beach. Ye Chang asked about the water draw there again. When he learned that the boat could dock there, he determined his place.

Since it is a forest, it is a land without a border, with fewer disputes.

After the ship got ashore, except for the water workers who repaired the ship, the rest of the people got off the ship. Whether it was water workers or craftsmen, they were doing one thing, that is, logging. They had to unload all the supplies on the ship in the shortest time, which required a gantry crane. At present, they could only use wood to make a simple gantry crane.

Ye Chang summoned the fishermen to inquire.

Although they were fishermen, they had been to many places when they went to sea, at least they were familiar with the situation near Duli Town. The total population of Duli Town and nearby villages was only more than 4,000, but Qingnipu, which went northeast, had a larger population, and the town and villagers had a population of about 10,000. The places where these fishermen had visited were in Duli Town, sixty or seventy miles north. Although they were nominally belonging to the Jili Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, as the continuous migration of Andong Protectorate, the Tang Dynasty's control over this place was limited to the enthronement of local local people as officials, and its real control was almost gone.

However, the Han people are mainly Han people, so when I heard that Ye Chang was an official of the Tang Dynasty, the fishermen immediately felt awe and bowed one by one: "I didn't expect to see my Han officials again... I don't know if my husband is here, is he going to Bohai County or Silla?"

In the past, Han officials came here to take responsibility for the ambassadors. Ye Chang laughed at this saying: "Not me, I came here to build a port. I heard that overseas fairy mountains are east of Japan. Therefore, the court intends to build a port here as a base to find overseas fairy mountains. If you want to build a port, you must get manpower. Since you are locals, can you be willing to serve the court?"

The fishermen looked a little embarrassed. They lived here from the Central Plains and respected the court, but as the main laborers in their families, if they came to build a port, how should they eat for the elderly and young people in their families?

Ye Chang naturally understood their thoughts, and then said, "Naturally, I will never let you do it in vain. Every day, I will pay for the work and pay for the rice. What do you think?"

The fishermen were still hesitant, and Ye Chang was not in a hurry, and said, "You can help me recruit people from both sides and recruit people, and I will also pay you."

This sentence touched several fishermen, and they responded one after another. Ye Chang also asked someone to buy some seafood they caught and sent them away.

However, it was not until the next day that someone came to Ye Chang's construction site to watch the fun. On the third day, the bold one agreed to help, but only half a day. After the bold one received the daily wages, more people came on the fifth day.

The capital was small, and on the tenth day, there were only more than 40 people who came to help after hearing the news, far from the number of people Ye Chang needed. At this time, a shack was finally built to shelter from the wind and rain. The simple wharf was completely built, and the materials on the ship were unloaded into the warehouse.

"The next trip can bring the people from Chenxi to prepare for contact matters. In addition, a caravan must be sent to Bohai Kingdom to recruit people along the way. In the situation in Liaodong, we have almost found out in the past few days." Ye Chang summoned the main personnel and said, "Shanzhi Division, you and Ye Ting lead the caravan to Bohai Kingdom, be careful along the way."

Shanzhi was stunned: "Me?"

"The Bohai Kingdom is quite convinced of Buddhism, and Master Shanzhi will gain something." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Now Liaodong is almost completely unmanaged, and all regions and divisions do their own things, but they are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Although this has caused trouble to the caravan, it also brings benefits to Ye Chang's big plan. There are refugees everywhere, which means that he can let go of his hands and feet to recruit people.

"My second brother and I stay here to supervise the construction of ports and accommodations to guard against any accidents. Su Ku Le, you and Ye Ying return to Dengzhou. Before we came, we sent someone to urge him. I believe that the staff from Xiuwu on Luoyang will arrive soon. When you go back, if you come, transport people, and transport supplies in the future."

In the early stage, Ye Chang had to move at least nearly a thousand people here, so it was naturally impossible for so many people to come here at the same time. Therefore, they were dispersed into a group of about two hundred people, and they would first go to Dengzhou in batches, and then take a boat from Dengzhou to Duli Town. Duli has few people and narrow land, so it is impossible for so much food to have at least one year of food. Therefore, Ye Chang needs to transport food himself for at least one year.

He was having a meeting inside, and the five Wu Dahai brothers gathered together outside. Wu Dajiao complained: "I just came to work as a water labourer, but I didn't expect to work as a coolie. Is it a day that I logged wood and moved wood. Does this Ye Langjun really want to settle down here?"

"No matter what he wants to do, our brothers are here, they are not really here to be a watercraft." Wu Dajiang, who has always been gloomy and silly, said: "Brother, when will we start?"

Wu Dahai shook his head: "Do you see the people around Ye Langjun? Not to mention that the more than 20 men who were obviously fighting in the formation, even the monk and the Nan Ba. Ren Sui, we are not opponents."

Everyone nodded. These days, everyone gathered together and had seen Shanzhi's divine power and Nanba's divine shooting. They were all very convinced.

"Not to mention those two, Su Ku Le, and his kung fu, whether on the boat or in the water, is not inferior to us. Even if the boss is still alive, he may not be his opponent. When there are many people, we should be careful and never show off our feet." Wu Dahai said again.

Wu Dajiang was a little dissatisfied: "It's just Su Ku Le, and the rest of the people were fine tossing in the small rivers and ditches. When we arrived at the sea, we were still far behind us."

"The second child, you are at sea. If you take the boat, how should these people deal with it?"

"Of course I threw it into the water to feed the fish and turtles."

"How many ships can we drive with the five of us?"

After this, Wu Dajiang stopped talking. Even if the five of them were lucky enough to be divided into one boat and successfully captured that boat, the five of them could not drive the boat quickly. The people on the other boat fought back. No matter how proficient they were in the water, they could not resist the number of people on the other side.

"And, this boat is a treasure. You forgot that the telescope and compass in the hand of the man is even more precious." Wu Dahai said again: "I don't know what you think. After seeing the telescope, I only had one thought. This must be a treasure of the immortal family. If you target it, even if you run for more than ten miles, you must recover it."

Everyone nodded again and almost worshiped the telescope. Only the people at sea understood what the meaning of this thing was. If they cooperated with the compass, they could say that no matter how far away the sea was, as long as the supply was sufficient, the ships were firm, they would be sure.

"Also, if you take the boat, where will we go? You can't go to the south. Although the boss died, the matter of chasing us was not relaxed. Could it be that you fled to Silla? Instead of that, it's better to be here..."

"Brother, I didn't mean I had to do it now, but I just didn't know when it would be the first to be a coolie like this." Wu Dajiang complained: "Look at how strict they are in charge, their daily actions are much more responsible than to go to jail."

"If they can do it, we can do it naturally," Wu Dahai shook his head and said, "I think this Ye Langjun is indeed a person with great ability. Why can't we defeat the officers and soldiers? It's just that Ye Langjun is a capable person. Now we are following you, learn a little, and you can also take the opportunity to make friends with some people. Look at the fishermen who come from here, we can make friends. If there is a trouble in the future, they will also help."

"Yes, my brother said yes. I just thought I really wanted to be a cow and a horse for that Langjun Ye. Since my brother did not forget to avenge the boss, I would be relieved." Wu Dajiang said.

"You have to be careful, and you don't get together on weekdays. Even if you are together, you have to be more nervous."

While talking, I suddenly heard someone say, "Wu Dahai, Wu Dahai"

Wu Dahai was stunned and stood solemnly: "Here"

"Come here, I'm ready with someone. We're going back to Dengzhou."

The person who called Wu Dahai was Ye Ting. Wu Dahai followed him and saw that Bian Ping was already beside Ye Ting. Wu Dahai glanced at this guy. This guy was smart, and he was always indispensable whenever he flattered.

"Return to Dengzhou?"

"That's right, it's time to go back faster. You have to transport a batch of grain and supplies from Dengzhou." Ye Ting smiled and said, "You go and prepare immediately. Su Kuala said you are the best among the hydraulic workers. Let me show you your skills."

"Yes" Wu Dahai was happy, while his brothers were winking behind him.

This was a sleepy encounter with a pillow. Before, their brothers were all following Su Ku Le. Although they had a thief heart, they were suppressed by Su Ku Le and did not have the courage to do anything. But following Ye Ting would not be the case. Although Ye Ting was braver than ordinary people, he was not much better than a landlady at sea.

Of course, compared with the five Wu brothers, Ye Ting actually worked very hard to learn sailing. This is not only his personal wish, but also Ye Chang's explanation.

"Why are you going back to Dengzhou for a long time?" Wu Dahai leaned over Ye Ting and asked, "We have enough food."
