The source of Muda power
Professor Lopez of Yale University, an authority on medieval economic history, once pointed out: "The Republic of Venice governs the country like a modern private enterprise." In Venice, economic interest is the primary goal. Compared with the radical growth of Genoa and Florence, Venice tends to grow more steadily. In order to achieve this goal, they do not hesitate to use "administrative guidance", especially in times of turbulent overseas situations, using tough methods.
Established in 1255, Muda (Muda refers to the fixed route of merchant ships leaving Hong Kong during the lifting of the ban) system is the work of Venice to improve the efficiency of overseas trade and gather wisdom.
In the beginning, Muda formed the fleet of private Calais ships. It didn't take long for them to become state-owned ships. The number of sailing ships is usually 5-10. The captain, route, destination, and port of call in the fleet are all determined by the state.
According to the division of rivers, Venice has four major river-level routes: Greece, Cyprus, Alexandria, and Flanders.
These Muda, that is, a fleet of several Calais merchant ships, left the Port of Venice one after another after the ban was lifted during the sailing period. The number of ships leaving the port every season is about 30-50. Except for the Flanders route, all fleets take the same route. After breaking through the dangerous Cape Matapalo, they parted ways. Due to the completion of the highway, each route is equipped with consulates, commercial halls, ship repair yards and other complete facilities, so that navigation and trade are not hindered.
