Father Tang looked at him, and then said: "It's not that it's right for a father to collect money, it's right to be clean and innocent when you first enter the career, but they don't help you so much day and night, just remind them, they are all people who have been in the wind and rain with Tang for decades, why bother to tear their faces and drive them back to their hometown." What are you doing here? The kid surnamed Yang is the deputy envoy, and you are also the deputy envoy, you will listen to what he says, so low on him, in the future, in terms of meritorious deeds, you are not a lower head? ”

Tang Xun suddenly said: "Dad, their hands and feet are not clean, they make so much money, and the rumors are spreading, Deputy Envoy Yang happened to hear about it when he was staying in an inn, and when he came back to mention it, Shiro only knew about it." The imperial court has invested so much money to make an ocean-going return, and there are not a few people who are staring at it, and there are so many big businessmen involved, who can know if there are wealthy nobles behind the businessmen, who can know, if they accidentally receive their heads, if they have small hearts and pursue them, Shiro, the little sesame official who has just been granted, can do anything, and he will go home directly.

Deputy Envoy Yang, his family background is not as good as Shiro, he is dedicated to his career, after privately assigning errands at the beginning of the year, Shilang has been staying in Lin'an, and Deputy Envoy Yang, non-stop, sleeping in the open air, first from Lin'an to Quanzhou to contact shipbuilding, and then from Quanzhou back to Lin'an, and then to Huai'an Anqing Army recruitment, and then from Anqing all the way to Mingzhou, go to sea to Changguo County to build an army, and then return to Lin'an and then to Quanzhou, and then to Guangzhou on the southern coast of the Great Song Dynasty, after returning to Quanzhou from Guangzhou, it is a shipyard and a port back and forth, there is no half-day rest, Quanzhou is extremely complicated, Dad brought someone over, and Deputy Envoy Yang saw that Shiro had a helper, and immediately led the fleet to Mingzhou.

In the past few months, Deputy Envoy Yang has been running around all day long, regardless of rain or shine, Shiro has never heard him say a word of bitterness, without any selfishness, and is wholeheartedly doing things that are easy to return, if everything goes well, when it is really time to be rewarded, he is one level lower, and Shiro is also convinced. ”

Father Tang's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "So, you are willing to lower him?" ”

Tang Xun said: "It's okay, Vice Envoy Yang is more than a step above me in terms of talent, perseverance, and mentality, listen to him more, what's wrong!" ”

Father Tang suddenly said angrily: "You dare to talk back to your father!" ”

With an angry shout, Tang Xun immediately woke up and quickly knelt down: "Shiro doesn't dare, Daddy, please calm your anger." ”

Father Tang's anger did not subside, and he waved his hand: "Get out!" ”

"Daddy, please stop being angry!" Apologize again, Tang Xun immediately got up and turned to go out.

Tang Xun walked back to the room quickly, closed the door, leaned his back against the door and window, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, silently, letting the tears flow freely.

After a while, he stopped his tears, washed away the tears with the water in the basin, and cleaned his face.

His eyes were slightly red, and he sat at the table in a daze.

No matter how sad and wronged he is, he is also the Shiro of the Tang family, which is a fate that cannot be shaken off. When he made a choice, he could only go on without hesitation, and if he wanted to turn back, the Tang family would not have a foothold for him.

Tang Xun worked hard to dispel distracting thoughts, grinding paper, everything in Quanzhou had to be supported by him within two months, and the affairs were complicated, and detailed planning was needed.

Although there are dozens of people brought by his father, they are mostly in contact with medicinal materials, which are very different from silk, tea, porcelain and other things, and some things they are afraid that they are difficult to do.

In the dead of night, after careful scrutiny, it was found that the three ports needed a lot of manpower, and those who should be recruited still had to be recruited again. That night, Tang Xun wrote several recruitment documents, and if he didn't have enough manpower, he had to recruit all of them himself.

By the time the writing was finished, it was already late at night, and I was lying in bed with a lot of thoughts, but it was difficult to sleep.

"Dad, was you okay last night?" After Tang Xun finished practicing in the morning and washed up, the sky was bright, and the clouds had appeared in the east, so he went to greet his father.

Father Tang sat upright, holding a teacup in his hand, and replied, "Well, it's good." Yesterday was a gaffe for his father, so don't take it to heart for Shiro. The Tang family was originally prosperous, but it can be passed on to my generation, God played tricks, gave birth to three daughters in a row, and saw that the incense of my big house was about to be broken, but fortunately, Shiro was born, and his father was able to take over the position of patriarch. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of family property for his father, your three sisters and three sisters, after they got married, they are all outsiders to the Tang family, and none of them can take away these family wealth, and it will be yours in the future. Now that Shiro is out of the picture, he is an official, and his face is bright when he goes out for his father, who dares to look down on my Tang family again, and the Tang family in Jianpu County can also stand up to the waist, and he will not be able to become a famous family in the future. The Tang family depends on you, Shiro. ”

Tang Xun nodded and replied, "Shiro knows, Daddy don't worry." ”

Father Tang said: "Yesterday I was also anxious for my father, you and Deputy Envoy Yang are indeed different, he can work hard, but his father is reluctant to let you work as hard as him, and the people who work hard, the Tang family is more, the thirty-seven people I brought are available for you to deploy, if you have needs, you can also call for your father, as long as you take the Tang family to heart, you have no regrets for your father." ”

With the sincerity of these words, Tang Xun's eyes were sour and he was about to cry, but tears swirled in his eyes, and in the end he forcibly held back and replied: "Shiro understands." ”

Father Tang said: "Okay, if you need someone to talk to your father, it's not enough to go back and find it." ”

Tang Xun said: "Thank you Daddy." After a bow, he went out of the house.

As soon as he walked out of the room, in a no-man's land, Tang Xun raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After breakfast, Tang Xun gathered the people brought by his father, selected thirty people, and assigned errands according to their respective abilities and experience, nine people were responsible for inspecting the goods and materials transported by merchants according to the procurement list, nine people were responsible for handling materials into storage, six people were responsible for port warehouse management, six people were responsible for maintaining port safety and order, and insufficient manpower was gradually recruited and supplemented in Quanzhou.

There are 10 people in each port, and 30 people will stay in Xiutu Port, Shihu Port and Hanjiang Port on the same day.

All the purchased materials are mainly divided into three categories: silk, porcelain, tea, in order to facilitate delivery and management, all materials are delivered in Shihu Port according to the category, Xiutu Port delivery porcelain, Shihu Port delivery silk, Hanjiang Port delivery tea, and other materials other than the three categories are delivered in Shihu Port.

Almost all of the people brought by Tang's father were in the medicinal herb business with his family, and they were not very familiar with silk, tea, porcelain and other materials. Tang Xun invited six shopkeepers in Quanzhou City, went to various ports with material samples, and explained to the person in charge of various errands how to inspect and accept, how to handle safely, how to prevent fire and waterproof, and how to store and manage. After five days of lectures and checking one by one to make sure that everyone has a complete grasp, the training is over.

Tang Xun did not relax in the recruitment work these days, and successively recruited more than 200 helmsmen and sailors, and these recruited helmsmen and sailors directly asked to stay in the port, and in the next two or three months, they had to stay in the port even if they were fine.

Of course, they can't do nothing, the shipyard's sea ships have been built, and they are ready to take them to the shipyard to receive the sea ships on a certain day, first go to the open sea to familiarize themselves with the sea ships, and then conduct sailing drills.

Ge Sanzai was left behind by Yang Congyi, and the errands managed by the helmsman and sailors naturally fell on him, and Tang Xun could also have some mental strength, so he didn't have to care about the hundreds of sailors.

The food and drink of all the people in the three ports have been purchased in a centralized manner by the Yi Supervision Office, and then sent by boat, and these errands are handed over to the remaining few people brought by Tang Xun's father, and there will be no mistakes with his father watching at the Yi Supervision Office.

At the end of August, the first merchant ship to deliver the goods entered Quanzhou Bay, because of the suddenness, the port was not marked, and no one guided, the merchant ship entered the inner harbor of Quanzhou Bay, turned around, turned for two whole days, did not know where to dock, where to deliver, and finally the Yamen officer of the city shipping department found that the merchant ship docked and did not unload, and wandered around several ports in Quanzhou Bay, affecting the normal passage of other merchant ships.

In the past six months, the Huiyi Supervision Office has built hundreds of sea ships in Quanzhou, built three ports, and recruited a lot in the city.

Eventually, the merchant ship that had come to Quanzhou for the first time was told that the people who had returned to the Yidu Office were waiting at the port at the mouth of Quanzhou Bay, and that the merchant ship was going there to unload and deliver.

The merchant ship sailed out of Quanzhou Bay, chose to dock at Xiutu Port in the north, but after docking, it was told that the delivery of silk had to go to Shihu Port across the river, and the merchant ship turned around and left the port, and finally went to Shihu Port to dock and unload. In the end, the first merchant ship to deliver the goods took four days from entering Quanzhou Bay to completing the delivery and leaving the port.

When Tang Xun came to Shihu Port the next day to see the merchant ships that were delivering the goods, saw the chaos in the port, heard about the encounter of the merchant ships coming to Quanzhou, and immediately readjusted the various errands in the port.

Unloading and moving laborers, all recruited from the city to the port, a team of 50 people, no matter what to do, 10 yuan per person a day, there are merchant ships entering the port, then according to the size of the ship, the number of goods, specify the total cost of unloading and moving goods of the ship, each cargo ship handling fee from 10 to 20, how much unloaded on the ship, how much into the warehouse, a lot, the whole process is watched, if there is a difference between the number of warehousing and the number of unloaded, the whole team of labor handling expenses deducted, if it is found that someone deliberately conceals private goods, according to the crime of theft sent to the yamen for investigation, can not be found, The whole team will be driven out of the port and will not be allowed to enter the port to work again.

Each port then erected a big flag, the big flag has scarlet characters, Xiutu Hong Kong flag embroidered "Hui Yi porcelain", Shihu port flag embroidered "Hui Yi silk", Hanjiang port flag embroidered "Hui Yi tea groceries", as soon as the merchant ship arrives outside Quanzhou Bay, you can see the big flag, the big flag is equivalent to the port indication sign, the merchant ship entering the port will naturally sail to the big flag when they see the big flag, dock next to the big flag.

However, the merchant ships outside Quanzhou Bay had to get closer to see the words on the banner clearly. So some sailors who have nothing to do in the port for the time being have an errand, every day send dozens of small boats to wander around Quanzhou Bay, the ship planted the "Huiyi" flag, as soon as the merchant ship comes in from the open sea, they will approach to ask whether it is to deliver the goods back and forth, if so, then ask the type of goods, and then guide into the corresponding port.
