The longer the time, the more cargo ships gathered here in Jiaozhou, and the grain in Jiaozhou Mansion is now very rich, but at this time, foreign grain can only come, corn, wheat, oats, rice, soybeans, peas, all kinds of foreign grain began to appear on the dock. (TXT )

As for the price of grain, Li Dacheng is also squeezing to the extreme, the price of a whole shipload of grain, less than one-tenth of the freight, but the owners of foreign devils are still happy to do it, the work of transporting grain is too simple, and the income from freight is too high, as long as this kind of business is still there, after three or five long-distance ocean trips, you can earn a new ship.

After the plague, Chinese herbal medicines are very popular all over the world, after a whole ship of goods arrives at the place, there are only a few piles of Chinese medicinal materials as freight, and the types of goods carried on the return trip are limited, and now the free ports everywhere are very strict in controlling the entry and exit of foreign cargo ships, which gave birth to another business that Li Dacheng is looking forward to, the purchase and sale of ships!

During this time, Li Dacheng bought seven old ships at a low price, so Zhan Tianyou had another task, to find a suitable harbor for ships to dock in Jiaozhou Bay, and to build several docks for maintenance near Tabutou.

When buying the ship, Li Dacheng bought it together with the old sailors, and most of the old sailors on the cargo ship were not attached to the land, and there were a considerable number of old sailors who had worked in the navy before, and there were still many opportunities here.

After buying the boats, Li Dacheng didn't let these boats idle, he found thousands of people who knew how to water among the strong men, and found a few translators, and he directly sent these seven ships to the sea, without any task, just to let himself learn to drive a boat.

More and more cargo ships entered the port, and the entire Jiaozhou government, together with Jiaoao, fell into artificial chaos. Many things can't be taken care of, and now on the territory of Jiaozhou Mansion, there are only two voices that are the loudest. Unload, open a warehouse!

As time goes by, there are more and more types of goods. However, it is still mainly grain, cotton, of course, there is no lack of coal in the goods, for these coal, most of the coal from the south, Li Dacheng here to give a big discount, but then discounted, freight, coal for Chinese medicinal materials, for those shipowners also have a profit, for short-distance coal such a livelihood. There are still quite a few ships that enjoy it.

Li Dacheng did not prohibit this, there are coal mines in Shandong, but he has no coal in his hands, and it is not harmful for him to save tens of thousands of tons of coal, but in his eyes, it is the most reliable to replace unsalable traditional Chinese medicine with something that can be used.

In addition to grain, cotton yarn and the like, there are also a lot of machinery and equipment among the goods, as well as minerals, daily necessities, foreign wine, etc., the most outrageous thing is that some goods were exported from the Qing Dynasty to foreign countries before. As a result, because of the plague, it was cheaply dumped into the Qing Dynasty, for these things. Li Dacheng also received all the orders, most of the Daqing goods that can be shipped back can be stored for a long time, and after a period of time, they can be sold to foreign devils from Jiaozhou Mansion, which is nothing more than a change of buyer.

Because of the grain shortage in northern Shandong and the weak transportation capacity of Jiaozhou Prefecture, more and more people in northern Shandong are also gathering in Jiaozhou Prefecture, and a large number of goods are hoarded in the open air. The road escort team is also making a living, and there are not enough people. Li Dacheng once again expanded the personnel of the road protection team, from more than 10,000 people. It has expanded to more than 30,000 people, and many of the personnel recruited this time are Shandong sailors who were cut off by the Beiyang Navy Division in those years, and many of them have experienced serious naval training.

With these people, Li Dacheng once again cast a net in Shandong, and collected a total of more than 3,000 water warriors, with these people, Li Dacheng bought two outrageously expensive ninety percent new steel-hulled cargo ships, both of which have a tonnage of more than 4,000 tons, and are Britain's latest ocean-going freighters.

The price of buying these two freighters is almost enough to buy a cruiser of about 2,000 tons, and Li Dacheng did not blink an eye at this, more than one million silver, and it was only a few of them when they were exchanged for medicinal materials!

When he spoke, Li Dacheng thought that the British would not easily sell the brand-new cargo ship, but he didn't expect that people didn't even bumble and offered a high price, Li Dacheng agreed, and immediately signed the contract and made the handover, and these two ships can continue to hang British nationality, which undoubtedly provides a lot of convenience for Li Dacheng, just these two freighters, and it is worth spending twice the money!

The more people there are in Jiaozhou Mansion, the more chaotic it is, and there are more and more people in a mess, Li Dacheng also has a way to use it, most of these people who want to mix the world in Jiaozhou Mansion are smart and dexterous, as long as they don't gang up and form factions in Jiaozhou Mansion and open a Xiangtang to build a party, Li Dacheng can only close his eyes and close his eyes, and after crossing this line, there are hundreds of people who have been sunk in the sea during this time, and they all want to do this.

These people, Li Dacheng arranged for them to do their job, is to be on the sea and near the dock, keeping an eye on the ships of various countries and the sailors who go ashore, or that sentence, the heart of defense is indispensable, some places are still experiencing the plague, who knows if it will be introduced into the Qing Dynasty? Who knows if there are people with strange thoughts?

The role of arranging these people was soon manifested, and on this day a large Dutch freighter came to Jiaozhou Bay, with a displacement of at least six or seven thousand tons, and as soon as the ship entered Jiaozhou Bay, these people found something wrong, and most of the sailors on the ship were not very skilled, and they all had a momentum of marching.

Because there are too many ships docked here in Tabutou, this ship has been parked in the bay, and ships of six or seven thousand tons should be berthed in Jiaoao.

When the news reached the old dock yard, Li Dacheng also became nervous, he was afraid that he was a large-scale pirate! The most feared thing is a pirate disguised as a country's regular army!

Politics is also despicable most of the time, and if a freighter with a displacement of six or seven thousand tons is emptied of its holds, it can carry at least one or two thousand soldiers, or even three or five thousand people.

The scattered garrisons of Jiaolai are also difficult to resist one or two thousand elite army troops, once this group of people has guns and cannons, then Tabutou will be in trouble, now as long as a few fires are put in the freight yard, the plague will bring Li Dacheng's blessings. It will be burned.

Thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that someone would play this at this time, and I knew that Li Chengyou would have left tens of thousands of guns for Jiaozhou Mansion. It's too late to say anything, is it the Germans?

After thinking about it. Li Dacheng still felt that something was wrong, even if the Germans were extremely vicious, they would not make trouble at this time, and neither should other powers, in this transaction, Li Dacheng got the most agricultural products such as grain and cotton, which not only would not endanger the interests of the powers, but would help them digest a large number of unsalable goods. At this time, it will harm the interests of many people to do it to Jiaozhou Mansion!

The temporary freight yard, because there are too many goods, also ignores fire prevention and waterproofing, Qi Shiduo's Jiaolai defenders, if they want to be transferred to the front of Tabutou, it will take at least a day, I am afraid that at this time, the other party will suddenly attack.

While carefully arranging the defense, while thinking about the roots of the people. But no matter how you think about it, Li Dacheng thinks that this matter is too unreasonable, except that a German has a motive. Tsarist Russia should not be able to move, and the relations between the Qing Dynasty and other countries are still in the honeymoon period after the peace treaty, and there are some things that do not need to be used at all.

Pirate? It's not that Li Dacheng underestimates them, there is the German army in Jiaoao, and ordinary foreign pirates will not go deep into Jiaozhou Bay.

Thinking of Tsarist Russia, Li Dacheng felt that there was also a great possibility, the Tsarist Russians in the three eastern provinces had withdrawn to their Far East, and the same was true for warships. Could it be that the warships of Tsarist Russia came from the sea? Want to avenge the previous Chinese medicine?

The more I think about this, the greater the possibility, and the last one that comes to mind. Li Dacheng's forehead was also sweating, and it was difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Could it be that I have been too confident during this time, and then I am a little arrogant?

While thinking about it and reflecting on it, Li Dacheng was making arrangements little by little, but he really couldn't let the road escort team take the top first, and then mobilize Qi Shiduo's Jiaolai defenders to fight these people on land.

There are also two Makqin on the side of the old wharf freight yard, which can temporarily block the soldiers, with the help of the natural nine bends and eighteen bends of the Dagu River, it can also be used as a temporary trench, and the goods in the freight yard are also a good cover, as long as they dare to get close, the road escort team is not without the power of a battle.

can think of the cowardice of the road guard, Li Dacheng is a little discouraged, the current people's hearts are unusable, a few cannons down, I am afraid of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Jiaozhou Mansion, there are not thousands of people who dare to play hand-to-hand combat with foreign devils, except for Qi Shiduo's Jiaolai defenders.

How to calculate, Li Dacheng felt that he had no chance of winning here, the purpose of this group of people should be the goods in the dock yard, a few rounds of shelling, a charge, these goods will become ownerless, and they can be burned clean with a fire.

I have the heart to ask the Germans in Jiaoao for help, but now he is friends and enemies with the Germans in Jiaoao, maybe these people were invited by the Germans, thinking that Lucas agreed to his own conditions in one breath before, maybe the Germans are waiting for him here!

As soon as they went to ask for help, the Germans would bite back, and once they moved the Jiaolai defenders, some things would be irreversible.

Thinking of this, Li Dacheng decided that except for the road protection team, the ghost head knife and the hundreds of elites in the hands of Qi Shiduo, he would not mobilize any troops, and he took less than a thousand elites to sit in the old wharf freight yard and be the supervision team of the road protection team, so as to respond to all changes.

The tense atmosphere of the old wharf freight yard did not affect the busy scene of Tabutou, until nightfall, the front reported, the cargo ship still did not move, did it want to fight at night?

The wait was always torturous, from late evening to late night, from late night to early morning, the ship did not launch the raid that Li Dacheng imagined, according to the news reported by the spies, the people on board should be drinking, singing, dancing, and carnivaling all night.

Hearing such news, Li Dacheng, who hadn't slept all night, wondered again, which one is going to make trouble?

The people on the boat were partying all night, obviously they should not be enemies, they were not enemies but they had a military atmosphere, this matter was worth considering, Li Dacheng, who was a little confused about things, walked out of the house and took a few breaths of cold air outside, but his mind was still not clear, and he couldn't think of the way these people came from.

Hanging the Dutch flag, wearing the atmosphere of the army, docking at the Tabutou wharf that is not suitable for docking, and carnivaling all night, these are always not together in Li Dacheng's mind, and they can't be brought together, and Li Dacheng has no clue here.

Looking at the almost endless goods around the freight yard, looking at the gradually reddening of the eastern sky, Li Dacheng's heart has hope again, is it sleepy again?

Thinking of this, thinking of the scope of influence of the plague, Li Dacheng nodded heavily, and then found a bunch of the highest cargo stacks and climbed up, but there was still some morning fog on the sea, it was not easy to see the cargo ship, watching the sun rise in the east, dispelling the light fog on the sea, Li Dacheng's mood was similar to today's weather, a piece of brightness, maybe today can get the biggest harvest of this plague blessing.

If that cargo ship of six or seven thousand tons is full of the goods you want, then it would be great! (To be continued)
