Weijiatun is only less than 40 kilometers away from Tianjin, and like Liu Jin's hometown of Xiahetun, it is also a village close to the mountains and the sea.

The village is not small, there are more than 30 families, but because of the sea, there is very little land, and a lot of it is saline-alkali land, there is no way to grow food, so this Weijiatun is also a famous singles village around, only the girl marries out, and there are few girls who marry in.

At this time, there are more than a dozen young descendants of Weijiatun gathered in the barn field in Weijiatun Village, and these dozen young descendants have short hair, shaved their beards cleanly, and the style of clothes they wear is the same, and there are also the words "Tianjin Port" on the clothes.

The crowd gathered together, as if discussing something.

"Our Weijiatun is a famous singles village in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, and there are dozens of singles in the previous generation, and we can't do this anymore in our generation."

Wei Xiaoming looked at the fellow villagers around him and said very solemnly.

This time of famine, the people of Weijiatun also fled to Tianjin early, just in time for the construction of Tianjin Port, so they were fortunate to recruit together.

Although this Weijiatun is poor, he is relatively simple and willing to work hard, so more than a dozen young descendants of Weijiatun have been left to work here in Tianjin Port.

Now that the famine has passed, Tianjin Port has also begun to give its employees holidays one after another, because it is close, so these people also meet together to return to Weijiatun.

Weijiatun is back, but Weijiatun is very poor, most of the houses here are mud houses, not to mention very low, many are still dilapidated, and the roads in the village are also very muddy, which makes people who are used to life in Tianjin very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Wei Xiaoming also gathered all the guys who went to Tianjin, and prepared to discuss with the big guys to find a way to change the appearance of Weijiatun together.

"Brother Xiaoming, are you still afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Wei Xiang looked at Wei Xiaoming and said with a smile.

More than ten people are working in Tianjin Port, only this Wei Xiaoming is the manager, the manager of Tianjin Port, the salary is naturally needless to say, the monthly money of five taels of silver a month is properly in the ranks of high salaries in this era.

"Of course, I don't have to worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, but what about the rest of the village?"

"There are hundreds of young men of our age, but so far, not even half of them have married a daughter-in-law."

"We people have also gone outside to see the world, and we have all taken night classes, and now we can be regarded as turning over, so naturally we don't have to worry about starting a family, but we can't forget Weijiatun's fathers and villagers, and forget our brothers and sisters."

"You say yes?"

Wei Xiaoming looked at Wei Xiang and said to everyone.

"Brother Xiaoming is right~"

"Brother Xiaoming can be in charge, this realization is different."

"Brother Xiaoming, just say what to do, we will all listen to you."

When the others heard this, they immediately nodded their heads one after another.

"Our Weijiatun is close to the sea, and we couldn't go to the sea to fish before, so not only does the sea not have any advantages, but it has become a fatal point for our village."

"But now it's different, now the imperial court allows us to go to the sea to fish, so I wonder if we can use this way in our village.

"You mean we go fishing?"

"But there are fishing boats to fish in the sea, and I also know the fishing boats here in the Tianjin Shipyard, and this one will sell for 20,000 taels of silver, and we can't afford it."

"Yes, this boat is too expensive, the money is really profitable, you can catch more than 100,000 catties of sea fish a day, this fishing is not a difficult thing, we see a lot here in the port every day."

"Even if we sell ourselves, we won't be able to raise 20,000 taels of silver."

Hearing Wei Xiaoming's words, everyone immediately expressed their opinions on what you said and what I said.

It's a good idea to go out to sea to fish, we all know this, working in the port of Tianjin, they have seen too much, too many sea fish, and next to the Tianjin shipyard, they will also go to the shipyard when they are fine, so they are very familiar with this piece.

But it was precisely because they were too familiar that they felt that Wei Xin's proposal was really unrealistic, the fishing boat was too expensive, and they couldn't afford it at all.

"Of course I know about this fishing boat, we will definitely not be able to afford a fishing boat for a while, but we can learn from the port of Tianjin, we will also build some wharves and the like to moor ships, and when the time comes, we can collect berthing fees, and the people in the village can also help unload the boats and so on."

Wei Xiaoming smiled slightly and said very confidently.

"Build a dock?"

"Open a port?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, repair the wharf, as for opening the port, it is a bit far, we don't have that much strength to build a port now, let's raise funds to build one or two small wharves first, and attract some ships to come and berth."

"When we have funds in the future, we can build a larger wharf and port, and then we will use cement to pave the road and connect Yongping Mansion, and the business of this port will become, and in the future, we will be able to sit and collect money like Tianjin Port."

Wei Xiaoming slowly said the plan and blueprint in his heart, and his words also made these people present couldn't help but gasp.

This Wei Xiaoming's idea is really surprising, no one thought that this Wei Xiaoming would actually think of building this Weijiatun into the same place as Tianjin Port in the future.

What kind of place is this Tianjin port, this is now a paradise in everyone's hearts, the money is easy to earn, it is clean, tidy, and even everyone's voice is better than other places.

What kind of place is Weijiatun, this is the poorest place in ten miles and eight townships, but Wei Xiaoming is now thinking about making this Weijiatun the same as Tianjin Port, which is really whimsical.

"Brother Xiaoming, isn't this plan too big, and it has seriously detached itself from the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law for our young man."

Wei Xiang couldn't help but say.

"That's right, this is impossible at all, here in Tianjin Port, Liu Gongzi and the prince don't know how much silver they have smashed to get to where they are now, where do we have so much silver?"

"No, it's too whimsical."

The others also shook their heads, Wei Xiaoming's plan was too huge, far beyond their capabilities.

"Everyone has a point, and I know it will take a lot of money to do."

Wei Xiaoming listened to everyone's words, and also nodded and said.

"I have studied the area around our Xiahetun, and we are not too far from the capital of Yongping Mansion here, the distance in a straight line is a distance of dozens of kilometers, which is very similar to the relationship between Tianjin and Jingshi, the two are close, if we can open up the situation here, we can radiate the entire Yongping Mansion."

"In addition, the geographical location of our Xiahetun is very special, do you think it looks like a horseshoe, this is the natural port mentioned in the book, and at the same time, it is a deep water, which is very suitable for building a port."

"Another thing you know is that now marine fishing is very prosperous, in the past, it was only the boats under the command of Liu Gongzi who were fishing, but with the continuous sale of fishing boats built in the port of Tianjin, there are a lot of fishing boats."

"In the past, there were only a dozen fishing boats going to sea to fish, but now there are more than 20 of them, and the speed of this Tianjin shipyard has also been seen, and new ships are launched every day, I estimate that there will be more and more ships going to sea in the future, and then Tianjin Port will become more and more busy."

"That means if we have a dock here, we'll have the opportunity to come to us with a portion of the ship to dock and unload."

"We are different, we have to be compared with Tianjin Port, but it is definitely no problem for us to live a good life in Xiahetun by relying on this."

Wei Xiaoming is obviously not untargeted, he has done sufficient research in advance, and everything has been considered very thoroughly.

"Listening to what Brother Xiaoming said, I suddenly felt that this was feasible."

"I think so, Tianjin Port is much busier here, more and more ships go to sea and return to the port every day, and this sea fish is also very popular, it should be okay."

"It's worthy of being in charge, Brother Xiaoming's knowledge is different."

After listening to Wei Xiaoming's analysis, everyone felt that this was indeed a will, and if it was done, it would really be sent to Xiahetun in the future.

"I've already calculated, let's all pay first, build a wharf first, this stone, sand or something, our village people go to get it themselves, only need strength, don't need much money at all, this cement is also very cheap, you can buy a bucket for thirty yuan, calculate it, the big guy can do it with a hundred taels of silver."

"As for the ship that stopped the ship, it is said that there is a ship of sea fish on this side of Tianjin Port that is specially sold to Yongping Mansion, and they have to walk dozens of miles more to transport it to Yongping Mansion from Tianjin, and it is much closer to us, so I am very sure that this ship can be pulled to us to dock first."

"According to the charging standard of Tianjin Port, this ship will charge five taels of silver for docking once, and if you count the cost of loading and unloading, etc., a ship can bring several taels of silver to the port."

"We will be cheaper then, this ship will be moored, not to mention it will bring three taels of silver, this will be a considerable income over the years, and there will be more and more fishing boats in the future......
