It took a day and a half for Jiaozhou Mansion to deal with the ownership of thousands of hectares of barren beach around Tabutou, except for a deserted customs yamen, the surrounding area of more than ten miles is Li Dacheng's territory. {，。

In the past day and a half, Li Dacheng also sat on an old hard sailing boat, made a few turns at the mouth of the Dagu River, and also listened to the description of the sea conditions of Jiaozhou Bay by the old boatmen nearby.

It may take a long time to build a seaport, but it is not so complicated to build a temporary wharf, as long as you find a similar location and build a dam deep into the sea channel, the wharf will also be there, and the difficulty is only in the earthwork, and nothing else is a problem.

Tabutou Port can not be regarded as abandoned, although the volume of traffic has dropped sharply in recent years, but there are still ships from the south to the port every year, the situation of Tabutou waters, there are many people who know that in the original waterway, build a temporary wharf that can be used for several years, or that sentence, it is difficult to be difficult in earthwork and stone.

For Li Dacheng, the earthwork is easy to solve, and the stone is not difficult to solve, and the earthwork Jiaozhou Mansion has such a large land boundary is that the stone is directly in Huangdao to open the mountain and take the stone, but the Huangdao side also needs to do land leveling.

The real problem is not earthwork or stone, nor manpower, but food, if you want to repair this temporary wharf within a month or two, tens of thousands of people are afraid that it is not enough, more than 100,000 people gather here, where the grain comes from Shandong will definitely not be successful, and the foreign transportation can only be transported by sea, and the difficulties of the German devils are indispensable.

"Second master, the deed and title deed have been completed, you should also tell Xingcheng about your ingenuity."

There are Yang Shiqi's people here in Tabutou, what is Li Dacheng doing can't hide from Yang Shiqi, in Yang Shiqi's opinion, Li Erye is going to rebuild Tabutou Port, but what is the significance of building this Tabutou Port

"It's just a port building, I'm afraid I can't hide it from you Xingcheng."

"Second master, rebuild Tabutou, what are the benefits?"

Li Dacheng said clearly, and Yang Shiqi also understood when he asked, of course Li Dacheng could not say that this was a wharf built for smuggling in China, this matter is not a good thing, and it is not good to say. In order to avoid the exploitation of foreign devils, it is a shame to engage in smuggling in China

"Where are the interests in Xingcheng, don't you know where the interests are

This is the pier I'm going to build. Five miles away from the mouth of the Dagu River, the water depth is at least 20 feet or more, which is the water level at low tide, and at high tide, at least six or seven feet

The draft of the 7,000-ton Dingyuan ship is only 18 feet. This arc-shaped wharf is 100 zhang long, and at least four sea ships similar to the Dingyuan ship can be docked inside and outside

Tabutou, only sixty or seventy miles away from Jiaozhou City, if I build a direct railway to Jiaozhou Mansion here?"

Taking out the sketch of the wharf he drawn, Li Dacheng explained to Yang Shiqi that the top of the arc can play the role of the first layer of breakwater, and the I-shaped connecting line can save the amount of earthwork to the greatest extent. The I-shaped breakwater of the beachhead can effectively protect the freight yard. Jiaozhou Bay is a semi-enclosed harbor, and the power of the waves is not very great, Li Dacheng thinks, tinkering, how can this simple wharf be used for ten or eight years.

Build another railway on the wharf, the Tabutou port can be used all year round, although Li Dacheng designed a temporary wharf, but the scale and the ships that can be docked, it is far larger than the original Tabutou port, and most of the goods in and out of Tabutou port are bulk cargo. Such a temporary wharf was built, and it was easy to share the heat of Jiaoao.

"Second master, where is the manpower to build Hong Kong, can the Germans in Jiaoao agree"

"Acoot City. You asked these two questions in vain where the manpower for the construction of the port was, don't you know?

As for the Germans in Jiaoao, Xingcheng must remember that this is a matter of our Daqing Dynasty, and our Daqing people have the final say, not the German devils in Jiaoao. If he doesn't agree, let's not build it

I'm going to ask you, is this the Qing Dynasty or Germany."

Yang Shiqi's second question made Li Dacheng a little annoyed, although he did not recognize the Qing Dynasty, but at this time, Li Dacheng also had to say that our Qing Dynasty, we are the people of the Qing Dynasty.

After Yang Shiqi's official eunuch, he and Yang Shixiang's brothers are the second generation of officials in a serious position, so afraid of foreign affairs that whether it is the Qing Dynasty, Beiyang or the Republic of China, people like Yang Shiqi belong to the elite class, the Germans are not terrible, Little Japan is not terrible, and the foreign devils are not terrible, what is terrible is that their group of people have the idea that foreign devils have the final say

After listening to Yang Shiqi's second question, Li Dacheng was wondering if he was going to kill all the officials and eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty when the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and bury all these so-called elites

After having this idea, Li Dacheng is also planning the feasibility of things, if the Zhenwei army can gain a foothold in the three eastern provinces, and fight the Tsarist Russia is losing and retreating, with a group of bandit-like Zhenwei army, it is not easy to do this, but it is not impossible to do, but in this way, there are too many people killed, at least millions.

Thinking about Yang Shiqi's heels, Li Dacheng pressed this idea, the so-called elite class, can gain a foothold in the upper society, what does this rely on This is the key, after thinking about it carefully, Li Dacheng came to the conclusion that knowledge, whether it is reading sage books or going abroad to study abroad, these so-called elites have much greater opportunities than ordinary people.

At the beginning of the establishment of the medical house, the people who gathered were the children of ordinary people, the medical house was not only where they studied medicine, after the cultural exchange with the foreign devils, they could also learn to make weapons in the medical house, even if their own Zhenwei army did not do it, these people created by the medical government in the future would have to compete with the so-called elite class for social status, and it seemed that he Li Dacheng did not need him to do this thing by sweeping this class into the dust.

"The second master is high

However, if you want to use the refugees from Shandong, where does this food come from, Shandong still cannot be self-sufficient. ”

Yang Shiqi didn't listen to his own words, Li Dacheng didn't care about this, he didn't listen to it, his Yang family was the generation of their two brothers, and when the people in the medical palace rose, the two classes confronted, and they only had to be suppressed.

"This is in vain, what kind of seaport we are building to transport grain from south to north, and what is it used for? Steamer, where do you say the food comes from?

Let's do what we say, you send a letter to Yuan Shikai and ask him to issue a decree in Shandong, refugees in various state capitals. You can come to Jiaozhou Mansion

In addition, let Li Hongzhang find a few officials who can build the port, give the staff and staff staff one month to prepare, two to four months to build the project, and try to complete the project before the summer."

It's just a simple pier. There is no need to be too cautious, the water situation at the head of the tower in the mouth of the old boatman should be credible, as long as there is no tsunami or something, this temporary wharf will not have problems.

Yang Shiqi's business is his own business, he can't listen to it, Li Dacheng doesn't say much, doing his own business is the most important, Yang Shiqi's future has nothing to do with him Li Dacheng, such a person loves to die. Li Dacheng didn't have the leisure to save a person who was destined to not be able to walk with him.

"Second master, is this a bit hasty?"

Li Erye said he would do it, completely ignoring the reactions of all parties, this should not be done in Yang Shiqi's opinion, such a reckless person has not died in the officialdom, but the time is not right Listening to Li Dacheng's statement, Yang Shiqi once again alienated the relationship between the two in his heart.

"In a hurry, you have food and drink in the winter, and the refugees in Shandong are the same

Again. The Queen Mother's return to Luan is likely to pass through Shandong, do you want her old man to see how Shandong is starving?"

The previous sentence was said, and Li Dacheng also knew that it was in vain, the life and death of refugees. It doesn't have much to do with Yang Shiqi and Yuan Shikai, if you want to make them obedient, the old ladies will return to Luan, it is best to make this big hat buttoned down to ensure that these goods will become three grandsons in a blink of an eye.

"The second master is clever. Xingcheng is going to send a report."

Listening to Yang Shiqi's statement, Li Dacheng smiled disdainfully, and sent a report to contain himself with German devils, Yang Shiqi dared to do this in secret, and did not dare to say on the bright side that the temporary wharf at Tabutou was naturally to be built, but at the beginning of this matter, Li Dacheng was still to set up a trap for the German devils, and directly talked to the German devils.

To be honest, Li Dacheng was worried that no one would introduce him to the German devil before, but with Yang Shiqi's small actions in private, he just took advantage of his strength.

As for whether the German devils in Jiaoao dare to kill themselves, unless they don't plan to do it in Jiaoao, they will do it to themselves in Jiaoao, no matter whether they are dead or alive, the Zhenwei Army will not give up with the German devils, if the German devils don't kill themselves, Li Dacheng doesn't mind leaving all the German expeditionary forces in Jiaoao.

After the fight is over, there will be another negotiation, and with the previous peace treaty, with the containment of Britain, France, and the United States, the Germans are destined to be a deflated goods.

Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai quickly sent back the news, these two people's vision is long-term, and Beiyang has surveyed Jiaozhou Bay more than once, many things Li Yuan and the two are familiar with, if it were not for the Boxer rebellion, the fort near Jiaozhou Bay is still under construction, Li Hongzhang's order for Krupp has also been placed, and more than 20 coastal defense guns have not yet been delivered

Jiaozhou Bay is suitable for the construction of a military port, although it is not the location of Tabutou, but Li Ershen will want to spend his own money to go first, there is no need to stop, and after the construction of the seaport in Tabutou, it can also curb the development of the Germans in Jiaozhou Bay to a certain extent, why not do it

From the two telegrams, Li Dacheng can also see some things, Li Hongzhang's condition should be very serious, the telegram only has a few words, Lao Yuan is different, sprinkled a lot, the most enthusiastic Li Dacheng is still a person's name, Zhan Tianyou, because of the war, Zhan Tianyou in charge of the railway in the north has also fallen into a state of suspension, in order to close the relationship with Guishun Guibeile, the two gods of Li Ershen, Lao Yuan also spared no effort, through the relationship Zhan Tianyou in the north to Jiaozhou Mansion.

Of course, people can't give Li Ershen generals, Lao Yuan also made it clear in the telegram that Zhan Tianyou's trip is just a compliment, and he will use it in the north in the future, and he has to go back where he came from.

There is good news, and there is also bad news in the eyes of others, the German comprador in Jiaoao specially came to Tabutou, saying that there was something important to discuss, but the comprador came at the wrong time, Li Dacheng was taking a nap

"You are not qualified, don't delay Lao Tzu to sleep, this time is busy, let qualified people come after half a month."

Li Dacheng, who was half-asleep and half-awake, sent away the comprador of the Germans with a word, and Jiaoao had a plan that could not be made again, saying that what was the credibility of the Qing merchants in Jiaozhou Mansion to build Jiaoao, Li Dacheng did not know, anyway, he knew one thing, the German devils regarded Jiaoao as a colony, just such an attitude, even if it was cooperation, it could only be a cooperation that seemed to be detached, the time had come, the opportunity was there, and the knife had to be stabbed by his knife.

Speaking of busy, Li Dacheng is really a little busy, summoning the refugees in Shandong, so that Li Cheng, who has just gone to the south, has prepared food and materials for the construction of the port. To be continued.
