When Gu Yun said this, his voice suddenly stopped, as he found that his vision was starting to become fuzzy. The figure of the soldier not far away from him became a blur.

"This is bad," Gu Yun quietly thought, "Leaving in such a hurry, I forgot to bring my medicine."

No wonder he had a feeling as if he had forgotten something. Shen Yi, this good for nothing, did not even remind him.

Black Eagle soldier: "Grand Marshal?"

Gu Yun casually continued: "If possible, it is best to find out who the boat owner is, pay special attention to who they regularly deal with."

The soldier had absolutely no suspicion: "Roger."

"Wait, also," Gu Yun called him, "If you find the monk, bring him to see me."

The Black Eagle soldier immediately left upon receiving his orders.

After sending him away, Gu Yun turned up the steam lamp on the table and sat down.

Jiangnan did not produce Ziliujin. If those boats indeed had problems, there were only two possible circumstances: either Jiangnan had officials selling it privately, or it came from overseas.

If it was the former, then this was quite easy to explain. Jiangnan was rich and far from the capital. Those people were simply taking advantage of the farming puppets currently being carried out to sneak in some Ziliujin for themselves. This matter could be handled by the local inspectors. It was not his place to reach into.

But if it was the latter, then he was afraid this would be complicated.

The seven major military factions of Great Liang were not weak, "Armor" and "Eagle" were the most powerful, especially. That was the accumulation of the three generations of Ling Shu Institute, pouring all their hearts and souls into building it up. In this respect, they were not inferior to the craft of Western people.

Only Dragons were different.

Although Dragons of Great Liang were meant for a naval battle, they were generally only used for coastal defense and to keep watch, rarely going out to sea. They were not similar to the giant ships of the Westerners that could brave the wind and ride the waves.

This had always been the case - when the naval commercial routes were connected to the east, west, north, and south, all the ports on the coastline were packed with Western ships. That year, under Emperor Wu's regency, Great Liang was rich in wealth and did not care about daily trades with the Westerners. It was mostly the foreigners who had come here for gold-digging.

At that time, the so-called 'trading business' was simply the other party bringing their products to the port. They only had to open the door, keep some of the goods, and reward the other party with pocket money.
