Book 6 Chapter 12
Complaints of the Zhangjiang Kaijiajie
To Nanchang
There is no flag state that does not have a branch office.
The logistics of a powerhouse
This is because it is one of the two main gathering points.
It was all thanks to the Tianmu Academy located in Namchang.
So how could we not have a branch office here?
The markers here, regardless of their affiliation, were all skilled in watercraft. This is because if you don't use specialized markers who are skilled in waterways, you won't be able to respond to anything that happens on the waterways and boats.
Therefore, the great powers of the Middle and Eight Great Powers all had branches of hydrographers under their control.
So what's the difference between water and land?
Traveling on water is just as challenging as traveling on land. There are two main issues to be aware of.
The first is moisture. First of all, you need to take care of your marks against moisture. If you don't, you could end up with a damp, wind-blown shipment that spoils in transit. This was not something to be taken lightly, as a spoiled mark could mean the end of a country's credibility.
The second is the water enemy (水賊).
When traveling, you're bound to encounter bandits on the road and water enemies on the waterways, so it's only natural to be prepared. In order to protect your marks from the occasional bandit, you'll need to master the art of handcrafting.
There is as much difference between a fight on land and a fight on water as there is between heaven and earth.
That's why Chinese marksmen are required to practice balancing their bodies on wobbly planks and foraging for food. This is to prepare them for combat on board.
In addition, the doubles of the markers from South Changji Province are also different from other places.
The dress of the waterway markers is distinctive from that of their land-based counterparts.
They don't have fluttery hems on their clothes. They cling tightly to the body. The fabric was also specially customized and made of a special material that didn't weigh them down when they ate water.
This is because handwork is won or lost by how much freedom of movement you can achieve.
Among all of these representatives of the Zhongyang Marking Bureau, there was one who was very conspicuous in his robe: he wore a specially tailored robe that looked very luxurious and had a long rope tied around his waist.
He was also the director and head of the Namchang branch of the company.This time, he was the one to lead the walk, which was unusual. It was a rare event.
As the waterways of Nanchang were well-developed, the local governor in charge of Nanchang was naturally skilled in handicrafts. Su Zhanghai, who was also known as the Longjiang Bridge Dragon, was one such person. But right now, he was in a bad mood.
"Aadhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Zhang Gang Jiaolong, the head of the South Changji District, was gritting his teeth as he walked down the street. Hana was a gaping mute, unable to open her mouth to complain about her grievances.
As the branch manager of the Nanchang branch of Zhongyang Bureau, a rising powerhouse in the industry, he has never been particularly dissatisfied with his life. He was content with what he had and didn't want more. That was until a few days ago.
That is, until a young man with bushy bangs shielding his eyes walked up to him and slapped a sheet of paper in front of him.
Bon voyage!
A single letter bearing the seal of Zhang Wuyang, Lord of the Zhongyang Marked Sword, stating that all accommodations would be provided with the utmost sincerity and to the best of his ability, the power of that letter was enough to shake the Southern Changzhi Bureau to its core.
In recent years, Zhang Gangyolong, the head of the South Changji Bureau, had become increasingly frustrated with the unfaithful and lax attitudes of the Heaven and Earth Divinities and the Heavenly Realm Judges. What are the heavens and the ghosts so busy doing, not catching these people and leaving them on earth!
"Brother, do you think we'll make it out of this one alive?"
Water Wind Sword, who is in charge of overseeing the markings and markings of the South Changji Bureau, asked his brother, Su Jianghai, with a stern face.
"How dare I discuss the sacrament of work, when all I can do is wait for the will of heaven!"
"I just don't trust the sky these days. I hope you're okay."
The frustration was written all over Chongpyo Doo Suhae's face.
"You are not the only one with such a mind; take heart and persevere!"
It was Su Zhanghai, who knew better than anyone that he was talking to himself.
There has always been a marker to Mudangsan, and even though the road has been traveled hundreds of times since its inception, the road to Mudangsan along this marker was unusually long and difficult.
"Phew!"
The sigh came out of my mouth without me even asking.
"If I ever run into any of those guys from the Black Dragon Keep……."
The Black Dragon House, one of the eighteen houses of the Zhangjiang Waterway Great Hero Alliance and the ruler of the Hubei Waterway!
We run into them all the time, but so far we've managed to coexist without much conflict.
Of course, there was a lot of money involved. Originally, monetary transactions were the only way to keep things running smoothly with the green and water guys.
It's a practice that's probably incomprehensible to the so-called late bloomers. Except for their pride, they are nothing more than corpses.
Su Zhanghai was overwhelmed with worry. He hoped that this time it would pass quietly.
The people accompanying them now were people they had no control over, so if anything happened, it would be the Zhongyang Bureau and themselves who would suffer and take the blame. That was absolutely not acceptable.
However, Su Zhanghai soon realized how futile his simple wishes were.
