Chapter 2787

“I have always heard that the northern region is rich in products and has magnificent mountains and rivers. I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to go to northern Xinjiang to expand my horizons!”

After Tao Hongfang sighed, he said to Ning Zijing: "Zijing, it would be great if I could be as free as you. You can leave whenever you want and go wherever you want. I'm really envious of others!"

Ning Zijing smiled and said: "I'm not as free as you think, it's just that you didn't see it when I was busy. I also have a mission to go to the north this time. Qiong Lianfa's properties in Shandong and Liaodong have recently been

There hasn't been much progress in the past few years. This time I have to review the business situation and find out the problems. Even if I want to go sightseeing, I have to get my errands done first."

Of course, what Tao Hongfang said was just a joke. He and Ning Zijing had been playing together since childhood, so they didn't know each other's situation clearly.

Ning Zijing's knowledge was mixed, and his father Ning Qi didn't seem to have the intention of training him to become a bureaucrat, but just let him choose his own development direction. It was actually Ning Zijing's own choice to work in Qiong Lianfa.

Although Qiong Lianfa's status as a senior manager is not as prestigious as that of a bureaucracy, given Ning Zijing's background, this will not cause any hindrance to his work outside, but can save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Ning Zijing's upper-level connections are spread across all major departments of Haihan, even the intelligence department. He can mobilize and coordinate various resources when needed. And he is not bound by an official position, and his methods of handling things are more flexible, so

There are many matters that are inconvenient for the official to come forward, so it is easier to leave them to him.

Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether Ning Zijing followed Bai Kesi and his son to the north this time, whether he was taking advantage of work to go out for fun, or whether he received some secret mission. But as long as he did not take the initiative to reveal it, Tao Hongfang and others would not

I'll really get to the bottom of it.

Without further ado, they all drank in the wine. Everyone raised their glasses and drank, wishing Bai Letong and Ning Zijing a smooth trip. I don’t know when we will get together like this again next time.

Two days later, Bai Kesi and his party set off from Hangzhou. Shi Diwen personally led dozens of local officials to see them off at the Qiantang River.

"This trip to the north is estimated to take three to five months at the earliest and one and a half years at the earliest. I hope that when I return to Hangzhou, I can see that everything is going smoothly here."

"Don't worry, Lao Bai, I will continue to pay attention to the list you listed to ensure the progress of these key projects. When you get to the north, say hello to Chen Yixin for me."

On the occasion of parting, Bai Kesi and Shi Diwen held hands and cherished each other.

The list listed by Bai Kesi is basically infrastructure projects related to industrial production, which of course also includes the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station and the industrial projects in Jiande County that he came to inspect this time. The implementation progress of these projects will directly affect

It affects the timetable for the relocation of the industrial sector to the north. If there are not many industrial projects in the north that are urgently waiting for him to investigate and investigate, then he will definitely choose to sit in Hangzhou and direct it personally.

After everyone said goodbye, Baikes and his party boarded the ship and set sail. His fleet will meet up with another cargo fleet in Hangzhou Bay, and then head north together.

Baix's ship is a custom-made expedition-class sailboat. The second deck originally used to deploy artillery has been completely changed into comfortable living quarters. Only two artillery pieces are retained on each side of the upper deck as defensive firepower.

This ship is equipped with a diesel engine developed by Sanya Engine Factory as an auxiliary power system. At present, the manufacturing cost of this kind of engine is still very expensive. The value of this system alone has exceeded that of an ordinary expedition-class sailboat.

It cannot be promoted and used in the shipping and naval systems. Only high-ranking officials like Bai Kesi can be qualified to use this new engine.

However, because the fuel replenishment of the diesel engine is not as convenient as that of the steam power system, currently you can only bring enough fuel at one time when setting off from Sanya, so it is not put into use much during the voyage, probably when entering the inland river for countercurrent navigation or emergency evacuation.

It will only be activated when there is an emergency.

Accompanying this ship was a warship of the same class and a comprehensive supply ship, both belonging to the South China Sea Fleet. The fleet left Hangzhou and sailed eastward along the Qiantang River into Hangzhou Bay to meet the cargo ship.

Team meets.

Ning Zijing was responsible for not only the cargo transported by Qiong Lianfa this time, but also the freight arrangements of the entire fleet. After boarding the ship, a staff member brought a large stack of cargo lists to his cabin and asked him to

He took a look first so that he could make the voyage arrangements.

Usually this kind of work is actually led by the Maritime Department, which coordinates various agencies in the fleet to formulate shipping plans, and rarely requires all ships in the fleet to follow a unified voyage schedule. However, Bai Kesi gave this task to Ning Zijing

The hand is obviously meant to be tested.

Ning Zijing was not hesitant. He went to capture Bai Letong first and asked him to help him organize the information.

Bai Letong was also surprised when he saw the pile of cargo lists on the desk: "There are so many documents to sort out?"

Ning Zijing said: "More than 300 kinds of goods are packed on more than 40 ships. Each kind of goods may have two or three destinations. Do you think the cargo list is large? What we have to do is to plan the voyage based on these cargo lists.

Arrange it, and then arrange it."

Bai Letong asked: "What are the requirements for the voyage arrangement?"

Ning Zijing said: "The entire fleet will travel together, stopping at Qingdao Port and Zhifu Port on the way, and arrive at Lushun Port in Liaodong within half a month."

Bai Letong touched his chin and said, "Half a month? That shouldn't be a big problem, right? The flight from here to Lushun is only more than two thousand miles."

Ning Zijing said: "If we just rush, we can reach Port Arthur within seven days. The difficulty is that we have to stop at the port to load and unload cargo. This time is not controllable. So we need to calculate the time required for each leg.

, leave as much spare time as possible.”

Bai Letong sighed and said, "Okay, let's sort out the voyages of each ship separately and then summarize them."

Near the Shengsi Islands, two hundred miles north of Zhoushan, the fleet successfully rendezvoused with the cargo fleet departing from Dinghai Port. The scale of this cargo fleet was quite large, with a total of more than 40 large and small cargo ships, both official and private ships.

It belongs to multiple organizations including the Shipping Department, Northern Fleet, Qiong Lianfa, Furifeng, Donghai United Transport, Shunfengxing, etc.

The reason why so many cargo ships are gathered to follow Bai Kesi to the north this time is that every year in March when the northern ports thaw, there is already a wave of supplies heading north from Ningbo and Dinghai ports. Secondly, it is also to build momentum for Bai Kesi’s trip and show that the Executive Committee

It will give recognition and support to the Northern Region.

These cargo ships will successively dock at major ports such as Qingdao, Zhifu, Lushun, Jinzhou, and Gaizhou, loading and unloading hundreds of goods. The entire freight process is very complicated, no less than a major project, and if detailed arrangements are not made in advance

, will inevitably lead to chaos when loading and unloading cargo at the port.
