Chapter 156 Various shocks

After seeing these two Cangshan ships, He Qiang seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Nai: "The ship leading us in front seems to be a warship of our Ming Navy..."

The "Sea Training 01" ship was the navy warship captured after the Crossing Group landed in Victory Port. When Luo Shengdong was returned to Yazhou, he argued that the ship was seriously damaged and needed to be disembarked in Victory Port.

Therefore, the ship was hacked by the Crossing Group for no apparent reason, and the ship was renamed and given a new ship number. Luo Shengdong was also a bachelor, and when he could see each other entering and leaving the harbor, he actually

Turning a blind eye to the ship is like not knowing the origin of the ship.

But Luo Shengdong pretended not to recognize it, which does not mean that others cannot tell the difference between this civilian ship and a warship. The side of this Haicang ship has a battlement structure similar to a city wall to facilitate the navy officers and soldiers to use firearms on the ship. Only this

In one thing, it was very different from the civilian Fuchuan. Although the sailors on the "Sea Training 01" set up a lot of fishing nets on the side of the ship, a section of the battlements was still exposed and was seen by the sharp-eyed steward He.

Li Naiqiang smiled and said: "Uncle He, let me tell you that you are worrying too much! This place is under the rule of my Ming Dynasty navy, how can there be any talk of privately building forts by maritime merchants?"

He Qiang felt extremely confused at this time. It seemed that this was the only way to explain the situations he saw before him, but why did he always feel that something was wrong?

At this time, the fleet had sailed into the Victory Harbor. Li Nai excitedly raised his finger and pointed ahead and said: "Uncle He, look, that's the legendary Haihan Iron Ship!"

Anyone in this time and space would inevitably be greatly shocked and shocked when they saw a steel behemoth like the "New World", even the well-informed He Qiang was no exception. At that time, everyone was listening to Li

When the shopkeeper described the majesty of the Haihan iron ship, he almost always took it as a joke - how could anyone in the world be stupid enough to use tens or millions of kilograms of iron to build a ship, so that the ship would not sink directly?

Going into the sea?

But when he really saw this behemoth appearing in front of his eyes, all his doubts had been thrown away, and He Qiang couldn't help but have a thought in his heart - who is the fool? Is it the seafarer who built these large iron ships?

Han Chinese? Or the one who secretly laughed at Shopkeeper Li for boasting about not drafting?

The Haihan people had more than one iron ship. When they saw a row of smaller iron ships docked behind the "New World", they were completely speechless. Almost every one of these small iron ships

They were all larger than the 400-material sea-going ships in their fleet, with slender hulls and graceful lines. The only thing that they didn't quite understand was that there were no masts or sails on these large and small iron ships, and they looked like sea-going ships.

It seems that the Han people did not intend to use these iron ships to go to sea, or there was something wrong with these iron ships that prevented them from going to sea. This seems to be a good explanation for why they still need to spend money to buy second-hand sea-going ships from the mainland.

The pier of Victory Port is not small. It extends along the coastline and is a hundred feet wide. The westernmost part has not been completed yet. There are still nearly a hundred workers working hard in the sun. But Li Nai and He Qiang noticed that this pier

There were not many sailing ships docked there, only two or three. It was unknown where the ships bought for the Haihan people had gone.

The "Hai Xun 01" ship leading the way has already docked. The sailors on the ship threw several cables from the bow and stern to the dock. Some migrant workers tied the cables to the stone cable piles on the shore to fix the ship.

He Qiang suddenly slapped his head and said: "I know something is wrong! Although this ship belongs to the Navy, the people on the ship are not from the Navy!"

Li Nai took a closer look, and it was not as He Qiang said. The sailors who were landing on the dock through the springboard from "Sea Training 01" were not dressed as navy soldiers at all, but were wearing blue shorts.

Only the two people walking at the end were wearing colorful clothes, and their hair was like monks, with only a short section sticking out of the scalp.

"They are Haihan people, and the last two are Haihan people!" Li Nai clearly remembered that his cousin mentioned that Haihan men generally have short hair, and the length is basically no more than shoulder length, and they don't wear buns.

Green flower shorts - don't the two people you see in front of you look exactly like this?

He Qiang did not feel as excited as Li Nai at this time. Not only were these Haihan people very familiar with the Ming Navy, they had even occupied the Navy's warships. What kind of situation was this?

The two of them went ashore with their own thoughts. What greeted them on the pier was Schneider, the head of the Ministry of Commerce. Schneider's work requires dealing with the outside world, so he is currently stationed at Base No. 1 in Victory Port, where there are foreign merchants.

When he comes to visit, it will be more convenient for him to receive him here.

The two parties introduced each other's identities, and there was inevitably a exchange of greetings such as "Long-term admiration" and "We are very polite." Regarding the handover of goods and ships, Schneider had its own staff from the Ministry of Commerce and the managers of "Furuifeng".

The two distinguished guests, Li Nai and He Qiang, were accompanied by Schneider and went to Base No. 1 to rest.

At present, as the first phase of the Victory Port Wharf project is coming to an end, the 300-meter-long "landscape avenue" from the wharf to the gate of Base No. 1 has been basically completed as a supporting project and the "external publicity model project" designated by the executive committee.

.The width of this avenue reached six meters, and the entire road surface was hardened with cement concrete. Compared with the loess roads or stone roads of the same era, the smoothness was much higher. Li Nai and He Qiang set foot on the road.

After seeing this road, everyone was secretly surprised, wondering how this solid road could be so smooth and uniform.

A large number of street trees, mainly coconut trees, are planted at intervals of three meters on both sides of the road. There are strip flower beds and simple benches made of logs cut in half and brushed with tung oil at intervals along the road. If it is not a

The domestic power supply here at the No. 1 base is already in a relatively tight state. The executive committee even plans to install a few LED street lights here, but for now it seems that it can only be replaced by oil lamps with poor visibility. But Rao is

In this way, this elegant environment also made Li He and his wife feel extremely novel when they were new to the place.

Even in Guangzhou, which is more than ten times more prosperous than here, they have never seen any road that can be so neatly built. Li Nai couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Shi, with all due respect, why can this road remain so neat?"

So clean?”

Schneider smiled and said: "This is to educate the local people in place, so that they know that they cannot abandon waste on the road, and if there is livestock manure, they must clean it up themselves. Violators will be fined, so now almost all livestock

They all have dung cages hanging on them. The second thing is to hire someone to clean it. Every half an hour, a cleaner will patrol the road and clean up the debris on the road."

Li Nai said in astonishment: "It's so simple? Just hire someone to clean it, but if you impose a fine on the people, how can the people be convinced?"

Schneider said sternly: "Every road and every house here was built by our organized people. Taking care of the environment here is the responsibility and obligation of every person living here! If you feel that the management system here is

If it’s too strict, then you can leave here and live somewhere else.”

Schneider spoke very seriously, but the more sophisticated He Qiang heard the trick of avoiding the important and trivial. He Qiang interjected: "Then if you come forward to punish people who violate the rules, won't the local government just listen?"

Don’t ask? Or do you mean that the Yazhou government did not establish a government office here at all?”

"A government office? Yes, of course there is a government office." Schneider smiled and pointed forward: "Have you two seen the small courtyard in front? That is the official government office of Victory Port."

As he spoke, Li Nai could already clearly see the plaque hanging at the door of the small courtyard. He couldn't help but read it softly: "Yulin Inspection Department...Mr. Shi, is this someone sent from Yazhou?"

Schneider nodded and said: "It's true. I think you two don't believe what I'm saying. So, I'll just accompany you to have a look."

Li Nai thought to himself, even if you don't say this, I must go and check the authenticity. Whenever this businessman goes to a place, the first thing he needs to deal with is people such as the inspection department, government officials, and tax collectors. "Fu Rui

"If Feng Feng wants to do long-term business with the Haihan people, then the inspection department stationed here will of course also need to be dealt with. Of course, the more important thing is to take a look at the situation of the inspection department here to determine whether this place is genuine."

It's as weird as He Qiang thought.

"Inspector Wei! A visitor is here to visit you!" Schneider stood outside the courtyard without knocking on the door, and directly let out a loud voice to inform the people inside.

Soon someone ran over and opened the door, nodding and bowing and inviting the three of them into the courtyard: "Mr. Shi, please wait a moment. Inspector Wei hasn't gotten up yet, and someone has already gone to wake him up."

He Qiang couldn't help but frowned. It was almost noon, and Inspector Wei was still sleeping soundly. He was living a comfortable life. Looking around the courtyard again, he saw that the buildings here were all wooden huts.

, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. This inspection department didn't even have a brick house. It seemed that the conditions were very limited. The Haihan people didn't seem to pay high enough attention to the inspection department...

Before he could finish this thought, the sneer on the corner of He Qiang's mouth froze because he saw something incredible.

He Qiang quickly walked to the window of one of the wooden houses and reached out to touch the window. The cold touch told him that this thing was really glass! If it hadn't reflected light in the sun, he would have even

I thought the windows here were all open and hollow, and the windows were not even papered.

Although this window is made of more than 20 pieces of palm-sized glass, in He Qiang's view, this is an extremely shocking thing, even no less than the big iron ship he saw at the port just now -

- It’s just a window made of small pieces of glass. Such high-end products are actually used in such a small dilapidated wooden house. Is this luxury or crazy?
