Zhou Rui didn't wait for Yue Chu to finish speaking, and immediately responded: Don't say anything unimpressive, you stay on the Nicole for a month, and the sows will race sable cicadas after you go ashore! However, far water can't quench the thirst, but I heard that the girls in the workshop are all ingenious, so I want to see how people pound ** for a while......

Get! It's hard to change!

Yue Chu teased again.

At this time, Wei Hong turned to Zhou Rui and asked:

"By the way, I heard that you met a true love on Zixia Island?"

When Zhou Rui heard Wei Hong mention this, his expression froze, and he subconsciously sighed, and then Yue Chu on the side immediately said to Wei Hong:

"That's a pretty girl, it's beautiful! It's just that Zhou Rui is the same as last time in Liping Courtyard this time, and he can't quench his thirst from far water......"

"Huh? What's the situation? ”

Yue Chu continued: That girl later accepted Zhou Rui's gift and agreed to marry him, but said that she was still young and wanted to postpone it for a year or two when she talked about marriage or something. You know why? Because the women's village is the place that our aunts and grandmothers of the Education Committee pay the most attention to, the women in the women's village actually know that we have a law called the "Marriage Compensation Law"! ”

"Who told them?"

"Think about it, who was the governor at that time?"

"...... Mr. Lee"

"So Brother Li was finally transferred out of the position of governor?"

"Uh...... It can be regarded as a secondary reason, the main reason is to take care of Brother Li's husband and wife separation......"

Speaking of which, Yue Chu concluded: In short, the key is that the sister heard that the Australians have a special girls' school on an island far to the south, and it is said that the students of the girls' school can become female officials after leaving the school, so the girl proposed to Zhou Rui that she wanted to go to the Australian girls' school to study, and when she finished reading, she would marry him.

Wei Hong shook his head when he heard it and said, Gotcha! You met a smart and self-motivated girl, so Zhou Rui, you agreed, right?

Zhou Rui turned his head to look outside the carriage and replied calmly: Yes, for her sake, let go......

Yue Chu smiled when he heard this, and now he regrets it, right? You didn't propose marriage first and let go.,Just agreed in a daze.,As a result, people got into the sunflower on the Nicole.,After entering the school, there was no news.,This time, except for watching it once before going to sea.,You didn't even pull your hands, right? If you want me to say, that's a smart girl, and she's very ambitious, you're choked enough, not to mention that the main room in the school is still watching at any time, and Principal Xia is not a fuel-efficient lamp......

At this time, Zhou Rui responded forcefully, saying that it was not a lack of news, I heard that the girl was cultivated by Principal Xia and would soon serve in the Federal Ministry of Finance......

Wei Hong frowned and said: So fast?

Yue Chu replied: I heard that the girl is literate and can also write women!

Wei Hong suddenly asked: Yue Chu, how do you know so clearly?

The Zimei of labor and management is not only the assistant of Xia Da Beauty, but also the secretary of Aunt Du, and she is the secretary of the Education Commission! How could I not know, you say?

Okay, Zhou Rui, that girl won't kick you to another high branch, right?

At this time, Dr. Quan, who was sitting in the back for a long time, spoke again: I said, you young people, why do you keep thinking about these between these men and women? Chicken feathers! Don't you feel bored?

Then he looked at Zhou Rui and said: What made you climb a high branch? You are the tallest branch in our group, how can that girl not see unless she is blind? Zhou Rui, don't worry, I won't kick you, when I go back to the Red Mansion, I will talk to the aunts and grandmothers of the Education Commission, and everyone will have a lively collective marriage before the Spring Festival!

Ay...... Doctor Quan, I'm sorry, our brothers chatted with each other, almost snubbed you, by the way, the square has arrived, it's very lively here, do you want to visit?

Doctor Quan glanced at the outside of the carriage and said, let the carriage slow down, I'll take a look at it, today my main purpose is still the eastern district, I heard that there are already several factories in the industrial park there, and the naturalization camp and naturalization village are also over there, let's go there and have a look......

The Governor's Palace is located at the southern end of the pier square, and now the dock square is a veritable square, the ground is all paved with gray granite slabs and cement, the whole hardened ground is 100 meters long from east to west, 60 meters wide from north to south, quite beautiful, but also a little magnanimous, of course, the function of the square is certainly not only for this, but a very practical cargo stacking area, whenever the Nicole arrives here, there will be all kinds of goods piled up on the square - except for the passage, almost the entire hardened site.

In addition, at the eastern end of the square there is a large open space enclosed by a wooden fence, the ground is compacted with cinders and gravel, where there is a stacking area for coal, iron placer ore and timber, and there are two small wooden piers nearby, the pier trestle is paved with rails leading to the stacking yard, and several human-propelled rail cars are going back and forth on the tracks, loaded with goods that have just been unloaded from large and small sailing boats, mainly coal and iron ore in bamboo baskets, and of course long logs.

There were many people in the stackyard who were naked, with only a cloth around their waists, and sweating like rain with iron in their hands, and every time a cart was filled, someone immediately pushed it to a weighbridge, and then the person pushing the cart would get a bamboo skewer from a steward, usually two people.

If you follow the route of the tracks, you will see another track extending from the stackyard, and at the end of the track is the Blue Pier, where the massive hull of the Nicole is docked.

At this time, one of Nicole's three booms was lifting the bamboo basket full of coal from the rail car into the cargo hold on the foredeck.

In the carriage, Wei Hong told Dr. Quan that nearly 1,000 tons of high-quality coal had accumulated in the stacking area waiting for Nicole to be transported, and that the mining company jointly run by Pimont Margaret and Degus had two or three sailing ships unloading coal and iron sand ore at Xin'an Wharf every day, and even so, it was still not enough for Nicole to load at one time.

Pimont is said to have been in talks with the trafficker Kafir about buying more slaves or some other labor to mine in the Chagan Basin, as Pimont finally discovered that employing natives to mine was always less efficient than organized slave labor.

As a result, both Pimont and Degus believed that even if they were treated as a naturalized Australian camp, they could make a lot of money in the coal and iron sand business.

Obviously, Dr. Quan was interested in this stacking yard, so he asked the carriage to stop, and he got out of the carriage with the support of two guards soldiers, and at this time the carriage in front also stopped, and several guards were running towards the carriage and began to set up a guard next to the carriage.

Seeing this, Doctor Quan frowned, turned around and said to Wei Hong, Xiao Wei, seeing these soldiers so nervous, is there a problem with the security of this Xin'an City?

Wei Hong quickly shook his head and said with a smile, No, no, there was indeed a problem with public security in the past, after all, a few hundred meters out of the wooden wall is a lawless jungle world, surrounded by indigenous tribes who rebel and rob, but now it is much better, and now it is like this, in fact, it is a habit, usually Brother Xiao travels to inspect, this is the style, hehe.

Well, understandable......

Doctor Quan nodded silently, didn't say anything more, and then crossed his hands on his hips and began to look around, muttering:

Well, this is this coal and iron ore yard, where most of the coal and iron and timber are shipped from here?

yes, that's where it starts.

Wei Hong nodded casually and responded casually.
