Guan Shaohe frowned and said, "Fifth Young Master, although he tried his best to cover it up, if the Ministry of Revenue is determined to thoroughly investigate, I am afraid... it will be a lot of money after all. Although his actions are very secretive, if the people from the Ministry of Revenue see any flaws, it will be a big deal. It would be a big deal. It would not be a big deal for my Guan family trade bank to suffer losses. Shaohe is just worried that the fifth Young Master will be ruined."

Han Mo laughed and said, "Brother Guan, don't be in a hurry. If such a big thing really happens, how could I go out to sea steadily?"

Guan Shaoheqi said: "Maybe the fifth young master has already arranged it?"

Han Mo touched his chin and asked with a smile: "Brother Guan, let me ask you, what is the progress of the investigation of your Guan trade bank from the Ministry of Revenue? Are their attitudes very tough?"

Guan Shaohe thought for a while and said, "There were a lot of silver stuffed into the other end of the capital to investigate the official. Although the thunder sounded loudly, the official seemed to be quite comfortable and did not really conduct a thorough investigation!"

"It's not your silver that works." Han Mo smiled faintly: "This is an important thing that the Ministry of Revenue does. It's irresistible to rely solely on silver." He paused and chuckled: "To be honest, the head of the Ministry of Revenue dispatched to investigate the accounts of Guan's trading bank in Beijing, named Chang Luo!"

"Chang Luo?" Guan Shaohe looked confused and pondered slightly. He suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up and lowered his voice: "Fifth Young Master, can it be..."

Han Mo nodded. He had a quarrel with Guan Shaohe, and he was not worried about betraying himself in this matter. He said calmly: "When the trade bank was not yet investigated, this matter had been reported secretly from Beijing, and I made arrangements. Chang Luo had a handle in my hands, and his life and death were also controlled by me, so there would be no problems." A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If someone else was sent, I would have to spend some effort. Fortunately, God seemed to favor me very much, so let Chang Luo investigate the matter, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Guan Shaohe naturally didn't know that Chang Luo had an affair with the village chief's wife in Yangshu Village, but was caught by Han Mo and even controlled it with poison, making him surrender.

People like Chang Luo who are greedy for life and fear of death are more safe than ordinary people to control their lives and death.

From then on, Han Mo handed the line of Chang Luo to Han Qing, and every once in a while, Han Qing gave him the antidote. This Lord Chang Luo Chang became the deepest thorn buried by Han Mo in the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Chang Luo was afraid of death and lustful, he was still very capable of doing things. Moreover, when the Han family had not reached its peak power recently, Chang Luo was timid and showed his loyalty. Moreover, he could do what Han Xuandao told him properly, and thus gained some trust from Han Xuandao. This time, he investigated the signs of silver and money circulation in the Guan family trading bank in Beijing. Han Xuandao did not want to be too arrogant and did not send an official surnamed Han to do it. By chance, Chang Luo chose Chang Luo to handle the matter. After receiving this job, he naturally reported the matter to Han Qing. Han Qing secretly protected the matter from Beijing to Han Mo, and Han Mo sent back a secret letter to make arrangements.

Han Mo always thought that such a role was difficult to use. He really didn't expect that at this critical moment, such a small person would play a huge role, saving him from great trouble. If it were other officials who investigated the matter, Han Mo would have to spend some energy to secretly deal with it, so the time he went out to sea would naturally delay.

When Guan Shaohe heard Han Mo say this, he felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh that Han Mo was clever in his arms. Han Xuandao's move was originally very sharp, but was quietly resolved by Han Mo.

After that Lord Chang made a stir, he would naturally follow Han Mo's wishes and think that Han Xuandao would report to the Denmark's trade deal.

In fact, Guan Shaohe had already vaguely felt that Han Mo and Han Xuandao had only seen a great crisis, but if Han Mo didn't mention such a thing, Guan Shaohe naturally didn't dare to say much.

...

The sails are raised and the oars are not taken, and the wind at sea is weak, so the fleet can only rely on manpower to move forward.

Du Bingyue's group of merchant ships fell, and only 40 or 50 people paddled in the earthen warehouse to advance, but Han Mo's warship was much larger, and only 70 people worked together to make the warship move forward smoothly.

Fortunately, the crew members on the three warships were all Donghai athletes, and they had the strength to replace shifts without interruption.

This was the first time Xiao Qian and others went out to sea. Including Aunt Bi, they did not enter the depths of the sea. At this time, they saw the vast blue ocean on the sea. Everyone was in a state of great pleasure. Even Hui Niang, who didn't talk much on weekdays, couldn't help but admire her when she saw such a vast ocean. She thought to herself: "If I hadn't accompanied the lady to marry into the Han Mansion, if I hadn't been kind to my son-in-law, how could I have seen such a scene?"

Hui Niang and Yun Qian are people around Xiao Qian, so this time they went out to sea, they naturally followed them.

However, Xiao Han Ding got into the wooden car that Peng Ban made, but he was extremely excited and danced. He didn't know whether it was because the wooden car made him excited or going to sea to make him happy.

Although the main general of the East China Sea Eagle was Han Mo, the person who commanded the warships to move forward was Captain Liang.

Captain Liang painstakingly designed three warships. When he went to sea, he recommended himself and begged Han Mo to go to sea with him. Han Mo not only allowed him, but also allowed him to manage many affairs on the ship.

After five or six days of traveling like this, it was generally smooth. However, on the third day, there was a gust of wind and waves. Under the test of wind and waves, the three new warships did show their value. Although they were bumpy, they were not as powerful as ordinary ships. Han Mo was with his wife and children. After the wind and waves, the wind was calm and the sea was peaceful.

In comparison, the group of Nanyang merchants placed on the Black Pearl have not yet calmed their amazement. The prosperity of Donghai City, a county in Yan State, has already made them stunned. When they saw and boarded the Black Pearl, they were even more amazed. In more than a dozen countries in Nanyang, they had never seen such a huge and advanced warship. In terms of scale or style, this group of knowledgeable merchants were amazed, and they had been celebrating on the warships for several days, and praised them all over the place.

In addition, they were also very interested in the long round tube in the command captain of the Black Pearl. They only knew that this was designed by the young man called the "Fifth Young Master". The young man called this tube a "teleoscope" and had the function of a clairvoyant. No matter how sharp or powerful a person's eyes are, they cannot be as far as the telescope can see.

At the beginning, these Nanyang merchants were a little dissatisfied. How could this seemingly simple thing have such a function? After they personally looked at it with a telescope, they were shocked and believed that what they said was true. They were even more respectful to the Central Plains culture as gods, and even respected the young man who seemed very friendly to the gentle and gentle person.

Before Han Mo went to sea, he had already made a batch of simple telescopes. Although he did not have the ability to make artillery, he could still make a small telescope.

These telescopes are not as far and clear as those made by later generations, but they are already very valuable to appear at this time. Moreover, the role of such telescopes on the sea is of great significance. At least after having these telescopes, they can be the first to discover and lock the other party's position in an extremely accurate manner before other fleets discover their own fleets.

When Han Mo saw Du Bingyue's happy expression after the first experiment, he felt guilty in his heart. If he had tinkered the telescope earlier, if Du Bingyue and the others had used the telescope earlier, then they might have been able to find the approach of the Japanese bandit fleet, and perhaps avoid several disasters. Even the Lord of Island Du would not have died of being attacked by the Japanese bandits...!

But he knew that everything had happened and regret could no longer change the fait accompli. What he had to do now was to do his best to eliminate the Japanese bandits and eliminate the biggest threat to maritime trade.

After traveling for two more days, Han Mo was about to leave the East China Sea. He was playing with his wife and children on the boat. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a horn outside. When he heard the sound of the horn, Han Mo's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly asked Aunt Xiao Clinique and others to stay in the boat and couldn't go out. He hurried out of the cabin and arrived on the deck.

At this time, Guan Shaohe had already come out, his expression was extremely serious. The sound of the horn sounded, and everyone understood what it meant. It was the seamen on the watchtower who discovered other fleets.

Although it has not left the East China Sea, it is already very far away from the Yan Kingdom. Logically speaking, there will never be a fleet of the Central Plains here, and the South Americans cannot send a fleet to arrive here.

Apart from that, it can only be the fleet of Uinomaru.

Han Mo was really surprised. He really couldn't have imagined that the Japanese bandits' fleet would appear so soon.

This is a heart-willing but glad that if it is really a Japanese bandit fleet, it will not be necessary to find the main force of their fleet, and we will start a battle here and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The sound of trumpets rang out, and the sailors on the fleet were calm in the face of danger and even arranged an orderly formation. Except for the paddlers in the bottom cabin, the other crew members on the ship had already grasped the weapons and were ready to fight.

The crossbow platform had already stood sailors, and the wooden board covering the catapult was demolished in a short time. Many crew members had already prepared stones beside the catapult, preparing to attack the enemy ship with the catapult.

The merchant fleet in front had also slowed down and formed a battle formation. There was also a sound of trumpets on the other side. It was obvious that the enemy had also been discovered and was informing the East Sea Eagle. There were crew members on the watchtower of the Immortal, where Du Bingyue was located, which was to show Han Mo that he was ready for battle and was always waiting for Han Mo's arrangement.

Han Mo looked up at the watchtower and asked loudly: "Where is the enemy?"

"Sir, a fleet appeared in the north." The soldiers on the watchtower held the railing with one hand and held the telescope with the other, and replied loudly: "The fleet is no less than twenty warships!"

Han Mo frowned and walked to the north side of the ship. He took the telescope handed over by Captain Liang, raised the telescope and looked north. Sure enough, he saw a huge fleet of ships faintly appearing on the sea surface of the north side. He could vaguely see the warships with golden swords and flags waving, which showed that the other party's morale was extremely strong.

Guan Shaohe also took the telescope and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Where is the fleet? The flag... seems to be Chinese characters!"

Han Mo had noticed that there were actually many words "Han" written on the other party's flying flag.

He was extremely shocked. The fleet was wearing the "Han" flag. Could it be the Han family's fleet in the East China Sea? However, the Fufu Army did not dispatch it, and Han Mo knew very well that the Han family only had the huge maritime power, the Fufu Army. In addition, where did another huge fleet be formed?

Where does this fleet of "Korean" flag come from?
