Chapter 1004 The wedding is finally going to be held...

(1004)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

On the first day of September, Qingdao.

The original Fushan City, renamed Qingdao, has been four years since its development. After several years of development, Qingdao has now become the most vibrant town in Shandong. The population has increased from tens of thousands to nearly 300,000. Various shops have expanded several times. The ports and towns have been completely connected.

At that time, the land that Chen Lingfei purchased on the outskirts of the city has now become the central area of ​​the city, with land prices doubled. With the continuous expansion of the area controlled by the Hu Ben Army, more and more merchants were included in the ruling scope. Merchants from all over the country have tried to open a store here as their headquarters.

After all, the Great Governor's Office of the Hu Ben Army is next to Qingdao. The towers near the water will get the moon first. The news is always the first to know about Qingdao people. In addition, most of Zhang Zhun's family members are also in Qingdao. This shows to a certain extent that Qingdao will still be the core area for the Hu Ben Army to develop for a long time in the future.

This can be seen from the busy port of Mawan. The Heilong Bay port back then was purely deserted and there were no ships in the air. The Heilong Bay now has completely changed. The dense berths are lined up and there is no end to see. The cement road from Heilong Bay to the center of Qingdao City is also constantly widening. Now, four-wheeled carriages can be taken.

After repeated expansion, the port of Heilong Bay now has fifty large berths and more than one hundred and fifty medium berths. In other words, it can be parked at 200 merchant ships at the same time. Such a mooring capability is definitely the best in the Hu Ben Army's controlled area. With a large number of gantry cranes and pulley sets, the loading capacity of the Heilong Bay port is also very strong. The Hu Ben Army estimated that more than 30% of the maritime materials are loaded here.

Before other civil ports were developed, the Heilong Bay port was always the busiest. Every day, the number of merchant ships entering and leaving the port was as many as 500, and at least half of them were large merchant ships with displacement of more than 300 tons. If all these merchant ships were loaded into the troops, they could transport troops of 100,000 people at one time.

If you want to talk about the busiest industry on the coast of Shandong, besides shipping, it is probably shipbuilding. In addition to military shipyards desperately building warships, many shipyards in Wulong Bay are also building large-scale merchant ships. The owners of these shipyards are all big merchants from all over the country, but they are also guided by senior executives of the Hu Ben Army. To be precise, they are subject to certain requirements and guidance from Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun adopted standardized design for merchant ships, just like the American free ship during World War II. All shipyards obtained the same drawings and implemented standardized production, which greatly improved the efficiency of shipbuilding. A shipyard with skilled skills can even complete the construction of a standard merchant ship with a displacement of 300 tons in about four months.

Without such arrangements and designs, the civil shipyards of the Hu Ben Army would not be able to build so many merchant ships in such a short time. The previous shipyards had their own designs, and the ships built by two different shipyards would definitely be different. For example, the ships produced by the Dengzhou shipyard and the Longjiang shipyard in Nanjing were very different.

The benefits of standardized production not only increase efficiency, but also greatly reduce the cost of shipbuilding. All the components of merchant ships are the same, and the difficulty can be greatly reduced when processed. Such a merchant ship with a displacement of 300 tons can carry 30,000 kilograms (about 150 tons) of cargo, and the shipbuilding cost is less than 6,000 taels of silver.

Mass production of merchant ships with the same structure is also beneficial for training sailors. Because the various parts of the merchant ships are the same, different sailors do not need to be retrained at all when traveling between different ships. Therefore, sailors can effectively flow and maximize the role of manpower.

...

In the afternoon, it was the busiest time of Heilong Bay. A large number of merchant ships were waiting in line to enter the port. These merchant ships waiting in line all had various flags. Different marks were painted on the bow, stern, or both sides of the hull to show different family identities.

Every merchant ship entering the port has a large amount of cargo unloaded. These goods are very different from ordinary cargo. The goods unloaded by merchant ships are all beautifully packaged. The appearance of most of the goods is exquisite boxes. This fully shows that the people who come off the merchant ship have a very identity.

After getting off the ship, the owner of the merchant ship would take the initiative to come to the pavilion next to the port to contact the people inside the pavilion. Inside the pavilion, there were several young and beautiful women responsible for receiving guests. The leader, smiling like a flower, dancing with a long sleeve, and a slightly bloated figure, showed that she was already pregnant with Liujia. If someone familiar here, she would recognize her identity. She was Shen Lingfei.

"Hey! I'm so tired!"

Shen Lingfei beat her waist and said repeatedly.

"Miss, you can rest for a while! Don't be tired!"

Miss Sisi hurried over, helped Shen Lingfei sit down, brought hot tea and served Shen Lingfei to drink. She was still worried and stood beside Shen Lingfei and waited.

"No wonder he didn't want to make trouble. This trouble was really amazing. In a few days, all the guests from all over the world came. I, Shen Lingfei, are a person who traveled around the world, and I have never seen so many people. My goodness, if I had known it, we should have booked all the inns in Qingdao and sold them. I am sure that I can make a lot of money."

Shen Lingfei said enthusiastically.

"Miss, you're just thinking about making money!"

Miss Sisi pursed her cherry mouth and said with a smile.

"Why……"

Shen Lingfei himself also found it funny.

Originally, there was nothing she had to do today. She was pregnant, and she didn't need to stand up for the big things. But she couldn't stand it herself! No matter what, that guy Zhang Zhun was finally willing to let go. Since he let go, they would work hard to cook the raw rice. Otherwise, if you wait like this, God knows when will you wait?

So who said it? Happiness is in your own hands, not in other people's faces. There will be no happiness in the sky. If you want to get happiness, you have to work hard... Huh? These words seem to be what Zhang Zhun said...

Forget it, no matter what others say, anyway, the opportunity comes, they must not miss it. Yang Yinghan's matter was solved, Zi Yuan had a legitimate hostess, and their matter was naturally solved.

Originally, this matter should have been resolved two or three years ago. But Zhang Zhun herself has been running around and has no chance to stop. At the beginning, all the girls could understand. How could they be so free? But now, everyone can't help it. If Zhang Zhun is still so busy, they should not expect Zhang Zhun to take the initiative. Since Zhang Zhun is not, they have to take the initiative.

...

At dusk, a large ship with the "Zhang" flag slowly sailed into the port of Heilong Bay. This is a large ship with a displacement of more than 800 tons, transformed from the three-masted gunships of the Zheng family fleet. On both sides of the large ship, there are more than a dozen Tiger Ben Navy warships escorted. The large ships came over, and the surrounding merchant ships were all moving aside.

"The Governor is back!"

"The groom is back!"

There were bursts of cheers on the dock.

Whether it was the people who had gotten ashore or the people who hadn't, they were looking into the distance, wanting to see Zhang Zhun's figure. They rushed to Shandong so excitedly, just for Zhang Zhun's wedding. Now that the groom has arrived, they of course have to take a look.

"This person! He finally is willing to come back!"

Shen Lingfei said a little disappointed.

Then, a smile bloomed on her face again.

Hehe, Zhang Zhun finally couldn't bear the pressure from the women and came back from North Korea obediently. They were a little worried before, afraid that Zhang Zhun would have any changes or changes in the situation, which would lead to him not being able to come back. If this is the case, it would be a bit unfavorable.

It was precisely because of this concern that Zhang Zhun and Yang Yinghan's wedding was held in a low-key manner. The news about the wedding was only notified within a small range. In addition to relatives and friends, as well as senior executives of the Hu Ben Army and major figures in various places, no one else sent an invitation. Of course, if you come on your own initiative, Zhang Zhun will be welcomed. However, all the expenses have to be paid out of your own pocket.

"Sir, it seems that there are many people!"

Wang Shide held up the Mile Mile Mile and said happily.

"There are many people coming to Jiangnan. I took a look. The Gu family, Lu family, Royal family, and Yang family in Jiangnan have all come. Look, there is their big ship there. There are also the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, all of which are here. These people are really rich and decorated with such gorgeous boats."

Wang Junyu also held up the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile and said interestingly.

Behind them, the other staff members also held a thousand-mile mirror and observed the surroundings, with excitement on their faces.

Zhang Zhun is about to hold the wedding formally. As Zhang Zhun's adviser, they are naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts. Although this time was just a relatively low-key wedding, in their opinion, it was already sensational enough. Basically, as long as they have the ability to come to attend the wedding, they probably should have arrived.
