Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Just as Gu Chan was standing at the bow, thinking about these things, a team of officers in charge of inspection came over here.

Cheng Hao and others immediately became alert.

Qilang quickly stopped them and said, "Don't be nervous. Yaoye City has a rule that larger merchant ships have the right of way first. So no matter how many merchant ships are lined up in front of you, we can check your merchant ship first and let it go."

"So that's how it is!" Cheng Hao said with a sigh of relief.

"The bigger the merchant ship, the bigger the business will be, and the more revenue it will bring to Yaoye City. This regulation is very reasonable." Gu Chan said with relief.

Qilang nodded without comment.

Then everyone relaxed and, under the leadership of Gu Chan, went to greet the officials who were coming on board for inspection.

This inspection is relatively simple.

After the officers came up, they simply searched the boat and made sure there were no dangerous items on board. Then they asked Gu Chan to fill out a form and let her go.

After a while, the Great China entered the city gate smoothly.

After arriving in Yaoye City, Gu Chan and others stood on the boat and looked at it in astonishment, because the entire Yaoye City was so prosperous. And most importantly, in addition to the huge main river channel of Lanxing River running through the city, rivers have been dug everywhere, so that the entire city can be traveled around by boat through these rivers.

At first glance, it seems that it is not the river that runs through the city, but this huge city is built on the river, which is amazing.

In Gu Chan's words, this is simply ancient Venice!

Seeing everyone so surprised, Qi Lang's face was full of pride, "How about it, Manager Gu, our Night Star Country's border Yaoye City, is it built well?"

"It's quite good. The city is very prosperous and very distinctive. It is much better than the Jiangnan city in the Jiangnan area of ​​Tiancang Kingdom." Gu Chan said after coming back to his senses.

"Of course. The second prince of your Tiancang Kingdom is nothing but a fool. Over the years, he has not been able to develop the Jiangnan area well. Don't even mention how much people in the border area of ​​our Yexing Kingdom dislike him." Qilang said unhappily.

Gu Chan became interested, "Why, do the people in your border area know about the Second Prince of Tiancang Kingdom?"

"Of course I know! He came to our place and looked for our city lord several times before! But our city lord kicked him out every time and sent soldiers to send him back." Qilang said mockingly.

Gu Chan shook her head and sighed, only then did she understand that Xuanyuan Lie had not struggled. He had even thought about coming to Yaoye City on the border of Yexing Country and establishing good relations with the city lord there. That way, even if he was really defeated and lost the Jiangnan area, he would have a way out.

It’s a pity that the Lord of Yaoye City doesn’t think highly of him and doesn’t even want to meet him.

This is probably the biggest reason why he chose to commit suicide by taking poison when he was forced to the end.

After understanding the situation, Gu Chan didn't want to dwell on Xuanyuan Lie's affairs anymore, so she said, "Qilang, it's getting dark, so we should find an inn to stay in. You are familiar with this place, so please recommend a good inn to me!"

"The best inns in Yaoye City are not cheap, at least one hundred taels of silver a night. There are more than a dozen people here, and the boat is so big. You also have to pay for watching the boat, which will cost you five hundred taels of silver a night." Qilang said.

"It's okay. We have money. Just find a good inn and guide the boatmen to dock there." Gu Chan said nonchalantly.

If it was before, she would really love money, but now that she has money, she has nothing to fear! After living a hard life for so long, she has to enjoy herself anyway.

Qi Lang said with envy, "As expected of Manager Gu! It's great to be rich."

"Take your time, you will have it in the future." Gu Chan said comfortingly.

Qilang scratched his head and chuckled, then immediately ran to the stern to direct the boatmen.

About an incense stick of time later, the Great China arrived at the pier of an inn called Yehuangju and stopped.

As soon as the ship stopped, several young men on the dock immediately pushed a tall wooden ladder over to the ship and shouted in unison, "Welcome the owner of the Great China to stay at Yehuangju."

"Wow! This service is quite thoughtful!" Gu Chan said with a laugh.

If we really talk about service, the service here in Yaoye City is indeed in place! It is much better than the service at those docks in Jiangnan City, and they deserve to make money.

This is what Gu Chan was thinking at the moment.

After leading everyone off the boat, she waved directly to Cheng Hao who was following behind her.

Cheng Hao understood and immediately took out a fifty-liang silver ingot to reward the welcoming guests.

Several people were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They quickly assigned two people to tie ropes to Gu Chan's merchant ship and secure the ship to the dock. Then the other few people enthusiastically led Gu Chan and others into the lobby on the ground floor.

People from the two nearby inns looked at this and began to whisper to each other.

"Is this the first time that the Great China has come here to do business? Why haven't we seen it before?"

"Yes! Look at their shopkeeper, he looks so young! And his hair is long, white and tender, just like a little girl."

"Don't talk nonsense. Look at the reward he gave. It's fifty taels, and the merchant ship is so big. It proves that he is not short of money. Who knows, he may be the son of a big family in Tiancang Country!"

Gu Chan had excellent hearing, and before entering the room, she could hear clearly the discussions of the little servants on both sides.

However, she did not care. She just led everyone into the inn with a confident smile and calm steps. Then she directly booked a large private room and asked the waiter to bring a table of good wine and food to reward everyone.

While Gu Chan and the others were enjoying their meal, in a room upstairs, the waiter was standing in front of the desk and reported to a man in white who was sitting behind the desk, "Second Master, a large merchant ship has just arrived. It's called the Great China. The owner is a 12 or 13-year-old boy who looks like a sissy. But he is really rich. He booked a luxurious room as soon as he came in, and also ordered a table full of delicious wine and food. They are eating in the room now!"

"Go, arrange for the best singers to sing for them, and give them a jar of fine aged wine. Tell them it's from the owner of Yehuangju. I hope they will have a comfortable stay in our inn." The man in white said without raising his head.

"Yes, Second Master." The waiter responded respectfully and immediately took his leave.

Soon, he followed the instructions of the man in white and led an extremely beautiful singer to Gu Chan's box, and had someone bring a jar of fine aged wine to present to her.

Gu Chan didn't think too much about it. She just thought it was some trick used by the innkeeper to retain wealthy guests, so she politely accepted it and continued to eat, drink and have fun.

But what she didn't know was that not long after she accepted the kindness, the man in white secretly sent one of his men to the City Lord's Mansion to invite the new City Lord Ye Tianyang over.
