Early the next morning, Yang Yuxin left the camp with four soldiers and went to the Shanghai office. The camp has a dinghy and two rubber boats as a means of transportation, which are all configurations on Ro-Ro passenger boats, which can accommodate up to 112 people and are generally used for transportation and trade due to their large capacity, while a rubber boat can carry 10 people and is generally used to transport people. It can also be said that these three RoPax ships are really the three great treasures of the traverser.

The speed of the rubber boat was very fast, and it only took more than half an hour to reach the pier of the Shanghai office.

At this time, the Shanghai office had made great progress, not only had its own wharf, but also bought the house next door, more than doubling the area, if you add the wharf, it has expanded nearly five times, and the staff has exceeded 40 people. At the same time, a large number of eyeliners have also developed in the Shanghai area, although it cannot be said that Shanghai is fully monitored, but most of the things cannot be hidden from the traverser.

Of course, the development of the Shanghai office is related to the development of the East China government, and it is precisely because of the growing strength of the East China government that the waist of the Shanghai office is becoming more and more hard. On the other hand, the Shanghai office is not relentless in the face of provocations, and the docks are actually grabbed.

It turned out that when the Shanghai office began to engage in the collection of materials, it also paid the protection fee according to the regulations of the 13th wharf, and most of the local gangs in Shanghai also admired the overseas Chinese for defeating the foreigners, and saw that they were very good, so they did not make any difficulties, and sometimes took care of the cargo ships of the Shanghai office, such as giving priority to berths, installing the royal family, and so on.

However, there are people who don't know what to do there, and there is a gang that sees that the Shanghai office has purchased a lot of goods, and it is a newcomer, so it wants to get more oil and water, and doubles the cost of the wharf. Naturally, the Shanghai office would not agree, and the two sides negotiated twice, but the other party not only did not make concessions, but on the contrary, raised the price to three times. At this time, the Shanghai office didn't want to cause trouble, the big deal was that your wharf was, anyway, there were many wharves in the entire thirteenth wharf.

When the gang saw that the Shanghai office not only did not raise the price, but also did not stop at its own dock for half a month, it immediately became angry and sent people to stop the two boats of the Shanghai office. Now the Shanghai office is gone, this is too bullying, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, so the person in charge, Liu Lantao, immediately ordered to solve this gang.

So one night, the Shanghai office sent people to attack the wharf at night, and after a burst of random shooting, they killed all the more than 10 leaders of the gang, and the next morning announced that the wharf was owned by the Shanghai office, that is, the East China government. This incident suddenly shocked the entire Thirteenth Wharf, and all the gangs realized that they were not facing an ordinary businessman, but the overseas Chinese who beat the foreigners to the ground, that is, sweeping away all the gangs and unifying the Thirteenth Wharf.

All the gang leaders of the 13th Wharf got together to discuss a result, officially recognized the wharf occupied by the Shanghai Office, and asked the Shanghai Office to manage the 13th Wharf, that is, to be the leader of the alliance, everyone listened to the arrangement of the Shanghai Office, so that although they were controlled by others, after all, they kept their territory, and they also caught the big tree of overseas Chinese.

After Liu Lantao learned about it, he also gathered all the gang leaders of the 13th Wharf to gather, saying that he was doing this because the other party was bullying people too much, and he was forced to do it himself, so he would not be the leader of the alliance, and everyone would still get along in harmony in the future, the rules of the 13th Wharf were still the same, and the Shanghai office only used this wharf for its own ship docking, and would not compete with other gangs for business.

After listening to Liu Lantao's assurance, the leaders of the gang were also relieved, although there was a lack of overseas Chinese as a big customer, they were still able to maintain the status quo of the 13th Wharf, which was a good result. Overseas Chinese are really good at doing big things, so they are all grateful, so the Shanghai office has its own wharf, which makes it more convenient to purchase and deliver materials.

When Yang Yuxin arrived at the wharf, Liu Lantao was waiting for him at the wharf, after the two met, they greeted each other, Yang Yuxin also asked about the film team and the negotiation team, and Liu Lantao also told him that the two groups had already started work, the film team went to Zhang Yuan Ankaidi to measure the site, and formulated a plan for installation and transformation, and the negotiation team went to negotiate with Sheng Xuanhuai.

Yang Yuxin also nodded, it seems that the work efficiency of these two groups is very high, but these two things seem to have nothing to do with him, so he said: "Director Liu, what should we do next?"

Liu Lantao said: "District Mayor Yang, you just arrived here, do you want to go to the office to rest first." ”

Yang Yuxin waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, I came by boat all the way, and I didn't walk, I don't need to rest, if there is something, it's important to go to the office first, and it's not too late to go to the office after I finish it." ”

Liu Lantao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to Shanghai Daotai Yamen and get your letter of appointment." ”

Yang Yuxin was stunned, Shanghai Daotai is the highest administrator of Shanghai, and when he arrived in Shanghai, he should naturally go to Shanghai Daotai to handle the handover procedures of Shanghai New District, but what kind of letter of appointment did he get?

Seeing Yang Yuxin's bewildered look, Liu Lantao couldn't help but smile and explained: "Although the Qing court promised us to transfer the land in the Shanghai New Area, it is still the place of the Qing court in terms of name, and we still have the official title of governor of Shandong?" Therefore, Shanghai Daotai Yamen plans to set up Yangpu Town in Shanghai New District, set up a patrol department, and you will serve as this inspector, so that it can be said in the name of the discussion, and the inspection official is not big, only nine products, Shanghai Daotai can be directly appointed, but we always have to go to a trip, get the letter of appointment, you should also meet Shanghai Daotai, you will have to deal with it often in the future. ”

Yang Yuxin understood what was going on, and couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, okay, then let's go and get the letter of appointment." ”

Walking out of the wharf, Liu Lantao led Yang Yuxin to board a four-wheeled carriage parked at the gate of the wharf, two people sat on the front and rear of the car, the coachman who drove the car shook the reins, the coachman who pulled the cart shook the reins, and the two horses pulling the carriage immediately opened their limbs and galloped with the carriage.

Yang Yuxin and Liu Lantao sat side by side in the carriage, and Yang Yuxin said: "What is the situation in Shanghai now? Is there a lot of pressure from public opinion?"

Liu Lantao said: " Fortunately, although the momentum of public opinion this time is not small, but we are not just in Shanghai now, at that time we have not been officially sealed by the Chun Ting, but now it is different, anyway, we are also the official canonization of the imperial court of Shandong, after you received the letter of appointment is the inspection department, although the official is not big, but it is also the official establishment of the imperial court, so it is justifiable, plus our previous achievements, so it has also been supported by a considerable number of people, and we also have newspapers in Shanghai, can also make our voice, in addition to the seizure of people's land and family wealth, in this era is really not a big deal, at least in a short period of timeIt won't have a big impact on us. ”

Yang Yuxin nodded and said: "That's good, that's good, I'm still worried? Because it will take about 15 days for the feature film to be completed, I'm afraid that the pressure of public opinion in Shanghai is too great, but the book on the introduction of land reform has already been printed, and we have brought 1,000 copies. ”

Liu Lantao said: "Now we can withstand it, there is no need to release the book at present, and I personally think that shaking the book out with the feature film will have a better publicity effect, and we are deliberately showing weakness now, and when the time comes, there will be a full-scale counteroffensive." ”

Yang Yuxin said: "Okay, okay, Director Liu is familiar with the situation in Shanghai, everything is up to you to decide, but as long as there is a place where we need help, please just say hello." ”

Liu Lantao said: "Okay, thank you." ”

Yang Yuxin smiled: "Thank you, we are all working hard for the development of the government." ”

While the two were talking, the carriage had already driven into the county seat of Shanghai and came to the Yamen of Shanghai Daotai.

If the governor of Zhili is the head of the governor, then Shanghai Daotai is the crown of the Qing court, in fact, Shanghai is only a county in this era, and the official name of Shanghai Daotai is the sub-patrol Su Song Taichang and other places of military preparation road, not a special Shanghai local official, but Shanghai County is also within its jurisdiction, because the Taoist Yamen is located in the east gate of Shanghai County, that is, the old time and space of Shanghai Huangpu District patrol street, and after the Opium War, Shanghai opened the port, the status is increasingly important, not only to handle local diplomacy, but also to engage in foreign affairs, so the sub-patrol Su Song Taichang and other places are also called Shanghai Daotai。

However, after the Qing court returned to Beijing, Yu Lianyuan was promoted to acting governor of Zhejiang, ostensibly to commend Yu Lianyuan's important contribution in the southeast mutual insurance, but in fact it was also an example to all officials involved in the southeast mutual insurance, indicating that the imperial court recognized the positive role of the southeast mutual insurance and reassured all the officials involved in the southeast mutual insurance. Now Yu Lianyuan is only waiting for the handover of the Shanghai New Area with overseas Chinese, and then he can go to Zhejiang to take office.

Liu Lantao also met with Yu Lianyuan several times in Shanghai, so the servants of the Daotai Yamen already knew him, and when they saw that he was coming, they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went in to report the news. It didn't take long for Yu Lianyuan to order them to be invited.

After meeting, Yu Lianyuan was very polite, after all, Yu Lianyuan knew that behind Yang Yuxin were powerful overseas Chinese, and even the imperial court did not dare to provoke them, let alone Yu Lianyuan, so it only took about 10 minutes for Yang Yuxin to go through the procedures for the inspection of Yangpu District.
