Section 845 Night fire in Harbor of the Rising Sun
The bustling Rising Sun Harbor is always so lively day and night, and even at night, ships are still unloading.
After all, the sail period is uncertain, and at night, if you can enter the port, it is better than staying outside the port, otherwise you will arrive at the port and have an accident because you have not entered the port, which is really a joke.
Anything can happen at sea, so whenever possible, you must enter the port and get people and goods off the ship safely.
Night Flight Ship to Rising Sun Harbor!
From far to near, Shi Kefa stood on the side of the "Minke No. 323" liner, and was deeply touched by his cultivation of his family.
"Yan Shaoyang has indeed done a great job!" Feeling Yan Changwu's strength, Shi Kefa said softly.
Scofa arrives in Southeast Asia!
Da Niu Niu Shi Kefa, before Yan Changwu entered Nanjing, was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, counselor of confidential government affairs, and was one of the main rulers of the Ming Dynasty after the collapse of the former Ming regime and before Yan Changwu came to power.
After Yan Changwu took charge of the matter, the first thing he did was to defeat the Donglin Party, and Shi Ke Master was from Zuo Guangdou, Zuo Guangdou was the boss of the Donglin Party, Shi Kefa was not the Donglin Party, who else was the Donglin Party? !
So Shi Kefa resigned and was exiled to Southeast Asia.
Yan Changwu is deeply taught by Mazu and pays attention to benevolence, he can even let go of the Tartars, not to mention the Han people, such as the Donglin Party, although exiled, none of them will be killed.
For Shi Kefa, he was even more courteous, after all, Yan Changwu was dressed in, and he knew the glorious deeds of Shi Kefa in the space where he was, regardless of his work ability and level, his heroic and unyielding temperament in the face of the Tartar was worthy of deep admiration.
So he sat in the first-class cabin of the "Minke No. 323" liner, with a bedroom, living room and independent bathroom, preferential food, and no torture tools and bad treatment (in fact, for all the exiled elements of the Donglin Party, they also have no torture tools and are not abused, and they are not afraid of anyone who can escape when they get on the ship) The treatment is good!
Before entering the breakwater of Rising Sun Harbor, the sight that appeared in front of Scofa's eyes was first of all two large lighthouses on the left and right coasts, which were extremely eye-catching.
Two lampposts stand on a high place, five stories high, and a huge mirror and a huge brazier are placed on the top floor, and then use the principle of mirror reflection to reflect the daylight during the day, and reflect the burning lights in the brazier at night, and it is said that the light can shine on the sea channel a hundred miles away, and guide the ship to enter the harbor safely in the night!
Also according to the shipowner, what "protractor" is used to measure the angle with two lampposts, it is known that the two lampposts are one mile away, and the approximate distance to the port can be calculated using mathematical formulas!
This was unthinkable before, and Shi Kefa admired it a little, although it was a strange silver skill, it was indeed practical at sea.
When you get closer to the Rising Sun Harbor, you will feel that the night view of this port city is extraordinarily spectacular!
The seaside is lined with high-rise buildings and bright lights!
The floors are high and low, but generally tall, many buildings are as high as more than ten floors, which is not in the Ming Dynasty (and later had), the light is deep and shallow, the light is bright and extinguished, flickering, and it is a dazzling phantom of the lantern in the eye.
Palature and unbeatable!
When we got closer to the pier, we realized that the situation was just as spectacular!
The spacious pier was first a long platform, and on the other side of the platform were lined up eight lampposts, smaller than the lighthouse, only three stories high, and the same was a large mirror and a large brazier, and the mirror shone under the pier, and the light was as bright as day!
The lights are lit up, attracting countless night insects to dance, making the lights appear more bright.
Under this kind of light, it is very convenient to disembark and unload, even if it is late at night, there are six boats busy disembarking and unloading at the same time, a hot scene.
In addition to these eight lampposts, there are also a number of lampposts on the side of the pier, shining towards the channel, the light is strong, illuminating the shadows of the ships on the channel, and there are still several boats waiting.
"Minke No. 323" was also waiting, and the owner of the ship was idle, chatting with Shi Kefa: "This is a night wharf, used to disembark, unload and load goods, but you can't board the ship (passengers), you can only board the ship, and the person can only be in the daytime, which is for safety reasons and must not be violated." ”
Shi Kefa was a big man, and the owner of the ship respected him.
"How much fuel does it take!" Shi Kefa was also surprised, and couldn't help asking.
You have to understand that ancient lighting was very destructive, and if you can light a candle, you are a rich man.
And this port, according to the owner, is here 365 days a year, except for typhoons, the lights on the pier are constant, and even if it is a typhoon, the fire of the lighthouse is not extinguished!
With such a large lighthouse lamppost and the night lights of the seaside, the cost of lamp oil alone is an astronomical amount for a year.
The shipowner said as a matter of course: "The leader said that human life is at stake, time is priceless, and oil can be grown, drilled and dug up!" ”
The oil used is a blend of palm oil, whale oil and oil, and palm oil is now in strong production and widely used by the private sector, which has contributed to the huge development of nightlife and increased labor productivity.
Instead of sunrise and sunset, the people of Sunrise can work during the day and have fun at night, as many places are lit with bright oil lamps.
Diligent students can study at night, work overtime at night in factories, and work in three shifts at the port, day and night.
Even women can go out at night because of the lights, and they don't have to worry about safety.
"Planting oil, pumping oil, and digging oil?" Shi Kefa hurriedly asked.
The owner of the ship introduced: "It is planted with oil palm trees, this kind of tree is particularly suitable for growing in the tropics, its fruit has a high oil content, can be used as a mixed oil to light lighting, and can be used to make soap, and can also be eaten, also called the dowry tree, also called the daughter tree, who has a daughter, can apply to the government for free land, up to ten acres, as little as one acre, fall on the daughter's sake, specially used to plant oil palm, after the tree grows, the dowry will be there!" ”
"The policy of Jinshan Province is better, they have a lot of land there, at most 30 acres of dowry trees!" The shipowner was envious: "I heard that someone gave birth to five daughters, and the government gave him 150 acres of land for him to plant oil palm trees." ”
It's really unheard of, and Shi Kefa listens to it with relish.
In order to promote population development and remove the bad behavior of female infanticide among the people, the policy of the southeast province is powerful enough and atmospheric!
Isn't it useless to have a girl? Can't afford a dowry?
The government is here to help!
"And what is the oil that is beaten and the oil that is dug up?" Shi Kefa asked with interest
"There are big whales on the sea, and the leader organizes everyone to kill whales, and now the navy captain's assessment, if you want to get the best grade, you have to command a ship to kill a whale and get a whale killing certificate!
This whale is covered in fat oil, its fire is very strong, and it is very resistant to burning when used to light lamps, and it is said that the eternal lamps in the tombs of those princes are made of whale oil.
As for the oil dug up, there is oil in the stone, the leader taught us to dig it, and some of the dug up can be used to pave roads, and some can be directly used to burn, but their oil smoke is big and smelly, so the whale oil used for lights in the school is the most. The owner of the ship said: "The oil used in the dock does not need to be so particular. ”
It is better to see than to hear, and Shi Kefa listened to it with relish.
"It's our turn to land!" The ship's owner said, ending the conversation.
