Chapter 814 Returning to Qingyuan
Wanshou Tower is also known as the Gusao Tower. People in southern Fujian know the best. However, this tower witnessed the rise and fall of the sea and witnessed the arduous years of countless people from Qingyuan who were unable to find the land and went south to survive.
The pagoda is locked in the water outlet, guarding the southeast, and it is also a beacon for going home!
I don’t know if the thorns in Qingyuan have bloomed, but I’m thinking about it and it’s not much of this flowering period. I miss the poem back then. How many springs have the thorns bloomed, how many years have the east and west towers been looking at each other, how many people have walked across Anping Bridge, and how many boats have sailed out of Qingyuan Bay.
The east and west towers have not been built yet, but countless ships have already sailed out of Qingyuan Bay. I don’t know how many people are buried in a foreign land. It is not easy for Liang Chuan to come back!
The number of labor in the busy port seems to be three or five times more than when Liang Chuan left! In a small port, about 20,000 to 30,000 people were registered in the port office, and they made a living by moving the port!
I think it was probably a size of only a few thousand people, which was far superior to Mingzhou Port, not to mention the few small ports on Jingdong Road.
The workers looked at the return of these huge treasure ships under the port office, named after the Wanda Chamber of Commerce, and had no choice but to wait. They knew that the Wanda Chamber of Commerce might have transported a large number of goods!
The 20,000 to 30,000 people's labor force is not enough to meet the current huge cargo throughput of Qingyuan Port. With so many workers, they have to pay the handling fee to the office every day. The rated handling fee was one pound of goods per cent. Later, I found that this algorithm was not very reliable. You have to be extremely careful when transporting some valuables, but the price was just like ordinary rice and beans. That's not too unfair?
Ordinary goods such as rice are heavy but freight is high, and the cargo owner also has great opinions. After many adjustments, under Su Wei's appointment, the port's charging model has changed again!
This time, we calculated the value of the items. Su Wei quipsly listed the handling prices of several major categories of goods, most of which were calculated by weight. Although the items such as rice are light and low, they have a large weight and large quantity. If the wages for transporting these goods are less, who would be willing to move them?
Because of their high value, some are easy to move and some are difficult to move. They are priced according to the market's tightness. The price will not change forever. The price will be relatively low if the number of people moving, and the work that fewer people do will naturally increase!
After the reform, the salary of workers increased a little more. Most of the hard-working workers could earn several chunks of money in one day. After more people, the port office also lowered the handling fee they collected accordingly. It turned out to be 50% of the 50% share. Yi Niang saw that the exploitation method was too harsh, and all the hard-earned money the workers earned was paid to them, so she later changed it to 37% of the time. In this way, the workers earn more money and became more aggressive. They rushed to start work almost every day, and they could rest for a few days if they did things a day!
Since the refugees from northern Shaanxi arrived, they have only enough strength but no land to farm. Now Qingyuan Port has solved this problem.
As soon as the treasure ship entered the port, everyone surrounded him. Those who were close to the water and towers would get the moon first. But before they could see the goods, Si Fangxing led a large group of people to clear a large area at the port. The workers were most afraid of two groups of people at the port. One was the group of people from Chengguan brigade led by Yang Baxian in the port office. They were well-trained and blocked ten. When a group of people fought, they had a good division of labor. It was difficult to get a cheaper number than them.
There is another group of people who are the officers and soldiers led by Si Fangxing. These people are very unreasonable. They have to face them alone. Si Fangxing is not able to protect his son. How should the port be controlled by them, it is impossible for anyone to come!
Then a group of people came to Weiyuan Tower, and the one he brought was the captain Gao Chun!
Weiyuan Tower rarely goes to Qingyuan Port, which is under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Mansion Bureau. Weiyuan Tower must be very good here. Moreover, an office above the port exercises its power on behalf of others, and Weiyuan Tower has no reason to extend its hand here.
Si Fangxing saw Gao Chun and the others looking at each other excitedly and said, "You guy came very promptly today, have you heard the news?"
Gao Chun said: "It's probably my brother's message to you. Liang Chuan came back from Bianjing. As soon as I heard that the treasure ship entered the port, I immediately brought people. Where are you!"
"Isn't it just what your brother, high-ranking cadre said, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good news? Oh, it's been so many years in a flash, and this kid is back!"
Si Fangxing has lived a lot of money every year. He has pulled a lot of money home every day, piled up like mountains of gold and silver. From time to time, he brought the soldiers from the schoolyard to the port for inspection. In a few years, he has accumulated millions of wealth and has gained weight like a ball. He can pinch it like a pinch and it can produce oil. Now it is not called Si Fangxing, but instead it is called Si Qiuxing.
Gao Chun was not that excessive, and his life was still pretty good. However, he often received letters from his elder brother in Bianjing, saying the strange thing about Liang Chuan calling for the wind and rain in Bianjing. What is his brother's current identity? The commander of the Beijing Inspection Office, a serious senior military officer, would definitely not say some false words to fool him!
Gao Chun not only came here by himself, but also brought Liang Zao, the master of the shipyard. Liang Zao did not have the family wealth and background of these two people, but they had a true friendship with Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan was amazed at that time. Gao Chun heard that Liang Chuan was coming back, so he pulled Liang Zao over, and a group of people could drink it with all their hearts!
Yelu Chongguang was waiting for Liang Chuan alone at the port. The other team members hadn't been home for too long, so he couldn't tie them to him all the time. Although these people were not in the head of the family, they had been there for several years. I guess the boss wouldn't blame him.
The members of the Urban Management Brigade arrived later, and Chen Fugui, two of them led the rest of the Cheng Management Brigade to the port!
The two of them turned over and dismounted. Instead of going to the northwest with Luo Xian and the others, they strictly guarded the tasks assigned to them by Su Wei to ensure that Qingyuan Port is foolproof. Although they had not experienced the wind and sand in the northwest, they also developed good skills in this mixed place of dragons and snakes.
Si Fangxing now has a smell of ointment, while Huang Jinshan and Chen Fugui have a bit of fierceness and fierceness. Some of the members under his command have followed Liang Chuan to the northwest. The appearance of a group of people has added a bit of iron blood to the entire port!
The two cleared most of the port. The workers rarely saw this situation and avoided it, fearing that they would cause trouble. If there was any accident at the port, the people in Chengguan's brigade would be cleaned up directly, beat the people in Weiyuanlou to get rid of their arms and legs, and then throw them to the people in Weiyuanlou for a few days of jail. If it was Si Fangxing's turn to take action, it would be bloody. Although the people in Chengguan's brigade were also very fierce, the soldiers were really unreasonable!
Huang Jinshan and Chen Fugui saluted Si Fangxing and Gao Chun. Si Fangxing and the two of them made a few remarks, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of the big man!
The treasure ship enters the port.
Liang Chuan stood on the bow of the boat in the wind, looking at the neatly arranged sea boats on the port with ancient and neat codes, he thought he had come to the wrong place! Although the original Qingyuan Port River was busy, the sea boats were arranged in a mess, and they were all parked randomly like needles. How could the neat arrangement like today, adding a grand momentum!
The rivers on both sides of the port are surrounded by granite, which makes the rivers look much deeper. Perhaps the rivers were repaired at the time of tide. No matter how big the sea boats in the river are drifted, they will be deep enough to avoid any worries about stranding.
The square on the port is more than four times larger than before. The wide surface is all paved with bluestone slabs. Various cargo stacks are rich and not messy in the square. Some workers carry ships and some carry their own duties. The entire port is in order, which is several times larger than the already magnificent port like Mingzhou!
Liang Chuan looked at this scene and if he installed a few containers and a few gantry frames here, what is the difference between it and the super port in later generations? The difference is that safety here is operated by manpower and the machinery that later generations rely on!
Liang Chuan murmured to Su Wei: "Lao Wei... I'm afraid I'm not seeing it wrong, but coming to the wrong place. Our port is so prosperous now!"
Su Wei smiled with serene satisfaction and said, "This is not all my credit. I still rely on the plan I planned to transform the port when my boss left Qingyuan. Although he spent countless money and millions of yuan of investment after the renovation, the results are significant, and the benefits are far more than the expenditure. You can also see that our port can accommodate thousands of sea ships and countless cargoes. No matter how big the sea ship is, it can come and go freely. The seductive outsiders in Nanyang are rushing to come to us for transactions!'
"You have built the largest port in the East!"
Su Wei said: "I don't know if it's the first one. I just heard from those Persians that there is only one port in the world called Alexander that can compete with us. The other ports are far from that!"
Liang Chuan glanced at Su Wei. The old boy's eyes were full of confidence and pride. The changes in Qingyuan Port are enough to be recorded in history, and there is indeed a capital of pride!
The treasure ship slowly docked, and Si Fangxing and others immediately met. The workers installed the span boards. Liang Chuan was the first to get off the boat. The feeling of stepping on the land was really real. Liang Chuan couldn't help but sigh!
"Sanlang!" Several people rushed forward like wolves and tigers, surrounding Liang Chuan in Gaixin. The man couldn't help but see Liang Chuan!
Si Fangxing cried the most fiercely. This boy got the most benefits from Liang Chuan. Seeing that there was a golden seal on Liang Chuan's face, there were a few more edges and corners on his face like a knife and axe. It was obvious that he had been having trouble over the years. How could he feel at ease as a big brother? Then Liang Chuan slapped him in the chest a few times!
"Lao Si, you're crazy. If you do it a little heavier, I'll die! Do you want to beat me to death if you haven't seen you for so many years?"
Chapter completed!
