The city department had already helped recruit and register a group of helmsmen and sailors, Yang Congyi had never seen them, and when the sign of the Yi Supervision Office was hung up, he began to spread propaganda all over the city, and it didn't take long for those who did not go to sea to come to report one after another.

Quanzhou is worthy of being a rare big port, there are many helmsmen and sailors, and there is an endless stream of people who come to apply for registration, and more than 60 helmsmen and more than 300 sailors have been recruited in ten days back to the Yi Supervision Office, and the harvest is quite rich.

After the sailors and helmsmen were almost recruited, the port was basically cleaned and the ground leveling was basically completed, and the warehouse construction was left, Yang Congyi took Tang Xun to walk through all the three ports, and the follow-up work of the port was directly handed over to him, and he was responsible for the inspection and delivery of the goods and materials that came soon.

Tang Xun is not particularly familiar with the situation in Quanzhou, but fortunately, Nanjianzhou is not very far from Quanzhou, the last time he was driven back to the four shopkeepers, and suddenly there was no effective helper, a letter for help was sent home, his father actually personally brought dozens of people to help for free, it is precisely because of this that Yang Congyi was able to get out of the port.

The Xuanwei army has not practiced naval battles, and they are still waiting for the warships in Quanzhou. Yang Congyi is going to take all the warships and some of the merchant ships to Changguo, so that the Xuanwei army can start training, so that the shipyard's sea ships will be supervised and received, and they will naturally be handed over to Tang Xun to be responsible.

Before leaving, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun visited the city of the port of the Yan people, Quanzhou at the end of August, the beginning of September around the arrival of businessmen from all over the country, by that time there will be a large number of materials gathered in Quanzhou Port, the port may be more chaotic, so the city of the Department of shipping to assist in management. Yang Congyi is relatively familiar with Lord Yan, and the sea return should have been managed by them, and the Hui Yi Supervision Office asked for assistance, so naturally there was no reason to refuse. After that, if he had any questions about the management of the port, Tang Xun could go to the city department himself.

In the next few months, Quanzhou Port must be a gathering of businessmen, the ship is plugged in the port, a shipload of materials docked and unloaded, delivered after inspection, classified and moved into the warehouse for safekeeping, and waited for the fleet to be loaded half a month before departure. The hectic and chaotic scene of the port can be imagined without looking, and I don't know how many troubles and mistakes will occur during the period. But these problems are all dealt with by Tang Xun, his family has been in business for generations, and the delivery and management of goods and materials should not be a problem, even if he doesn't understand it very well, his father didn't bring dozens of people to watch the excitement.

After the handover of Quanzhou was completed, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival with Tang Xun's family, Yang Congyi left 40,000 yuan and left Quanzhou with ten warships, five sea ships, twenty helmsmen, and two hundred sailors.

"Brother Tang, the matter of Quanzhou depends on you, I will leave this time, at least one and a half months, at most two months, I can return to Quanzhou, and then I will talk about it." Yang Congyi stood on the shore and said goodbye with a smile.

"Brother Yang just go, you don't have to worry about everything in Quanzhou, my father is here, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Bon voyage! Tang Xun raised his hand and saluted.

"Precious!" Yang Congyi returned the salute. Then he turned and jumped into the boat, which quickly rowed off the shore to the docked warship on the beach.

Watching Yang Congyi climb onto the warship and disappear, a dozen ships started soon after, slowly left the seaside, and sailed into the distance, before Tang Xun turned around and left.

The construction of the port has reached the final stage, which can be completed in two days. It's just that the port is unguarded, and from tomorrow it will be necessary to send people to guard the port.

Tang Xun walked casually in the shipyard, the shipyard has been here twice, and he came here today, and he is not in a hurry to leave. Look at the busy craftsmen, look at the merchant ships under construction, leave the chores behind for the time being, and put the busy shipyard behind, and gradually calm down.

"My lord, is there a problem?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him.

Tang Xun looked back, but it was the old official in charge, so he replied: "How many ships have you built and are building?" ”

The old official said with a smile: "There are already sixty-seven new ships and semi-new ships that have been built, and there are still twenty ships under construction, and they will definitely be built before October. ”

"Then build ten more."

The old official saw that Tang Xun's face was calm, not like a joke, so he asked, "My lord, do you really want to build ten more ships?" We have already built eighty-seven of them. ”

Tang Xun replied: "Yes, build ten more ships of 2,000 materials like these." ”

The old official said: "My lord, the craftsmen in the shipyard are enough to build ten ships, but the shipbuilding matter has to be discussed with Master Fei, and he is sure that we can start building." ”

Tang Xun didn't say anything more, and then went out of the shipyard and urged the horse to find Master Fei.

When he heard Tang Xun say that he would build ten more sea ships, Lord Fei was very happy, and immediately agreed, and promised to build them by mid-October.

The cost is the same, a thousand thousand, whether new or old.

When Fei Tangchun directly put the five thousand taels of silver tickets on the table, Lord Fei immediately changed his mind and promised to deliver the ship before the first day of October.

Tang Xun didn't say anything, just emphasized that he hoped to receive the ten ships on time, and then he said goodbye and left, and Lord Liufei was excited with the silver ticket alone.

Subsequently, Tang Xun appeared in Shihu Port again.

The ground of Shihu Port has long been leveled, the foreman has already left with the workers to settle the wages, and there are only about 100 people left in the entire port to build warehouses. The warehouse has been basically built, and it will be almost the same in half a day.

After a rough look, he called the foreman and immediately ordered: "After today's work is completed, only ten people will be left, and the rest will not be used tomorrow." After settling the wages for a while, they all dispersed. ”

The rest of the things will definitely not be done by ten people tomorrow, but the foreman did not dare to refute, so he had to smile and agree.

Leaving from Shihu Port, directly to the next Hanjiang Port, the progress of the whole project of this port is relatively slow, the ground leveling has not been completed, and the construction of the warehouse is still a little and a half.

Tang Xun immediately called two foremen and ordered in a cold voice: "After today's completion is completed, you yourself will dismiss those who do not work hard, leave fifty people each, and limit you to complete it within ten days, if you feel that you can't finish it, settle the wages today, and don't come tomorrow." Got it? ”

The two foremen were sweaty, nodded again and again, and replied with sincere fear: "Yes, my lord, the little one understands." It must be completed within 10 days. ”

Tang Xun said again: "Don't cut corners and leave things to chance. Go ahead. ”

The two foremen said that they did not dare, so they hurriedly left and beckoned the workers to work hard. After all, they don't want to lose their job if they leave here and find nowhere to go.

Tang Xun watched from afar as the workers moved quickly, and then left quite satisfied.

Then I took a boat to Xiutu Port, Xiutu Port made the fastest progress, the warehouse has been built, and the most only little ground has not been leveled.

But when he watched more than 100 people slowly mixing work, Tang Xun immediately called the foreman: "Hurry up and finish the last point, if you can't finish it today, the salary will be halved, and you won't use it tomorrow." ”

Listening to the cold tone of the adult in front of him, the foreman didn't dare to say anything, nodded in agreement, and hurriedly left.

In the three ports of Quanzhou Bay, 2890 people left after receiving the completion money on the same day, 10 people were left in Shihu Port, 100 people were left in Hanjiang Port, and no one was left in Xiutu Port.

After a busy day, it was getting dark, and when the moon rose, Tang Xun returned to the place where he returned to Yi Douzao.

Back at the residence, Tang Xun had just sat down, and before he could take a sip of water, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Shiro, the master is looking for you." ”

"Here we are." Tang Xun put down the teacup and got up to go out.

Although the courtyard where Hui Yi supervised the construction office was a little partial, it was not small, and many of the people his father brought from his hometown lived in the courtyard.

When he came to the house where his father was, he saw that the door was open, so he gently pushed the door open and entered the house.

I saw a year-old man sitting at the table in the room, his beard was not long, his face was thin, his hair was gray, a Lantian hosta was inserted horizontally, he was dressed in a blue cedar, he was about fifty years old, his eyes were not big, but he was very bright.

Tang Xun stepped forward and stood still, saluted respectfully: "Dad, Shiro is back." ”

Father Tang nodded lightly and said, "Well, sit down and say." ”

Tang Xun then sat down on another chair at the table.

Father Tang looked at Tang Xun and asked, "Shiro, is Lord Yang gone?" ”

Tang Xun replied: "Yes, I went to Mingzhou with the fleet early this morning. ”

Father Tang said: "It's okay, as soon as he leaves, you will be the person in charge of returning to Yidu in Quanzhou, you should do things well, don't be robbed of the limelight, and don't live up to the trust of the imperial court." The Tang family has been in business for generations, and now although they have some savings and some fame in their hometown, no one is an official, after all, they have no background, nothing to follow, and it is difficult to go further. In your generation, there are many twists and turns, and it is difficult to become an official, and finally an opportunity fell from the sky, and it cost nearly half of the Tang family's wealth to exchange it for a chance to enter martial arts.

Now that you have such a good opportunity, you have been awarded the rank of deputy envoy by the imperial court, if you can grasp the opportunity and successfully complete this matter, you will be promoted again in the near future. Whether the Tang family can raise their eyebrows and go further, whether they can glorify their ancestors or not, it all depends on you, and you must not slack off. Always remember that behind you are hundreds of people from the Tang family, and whether they can hold their heads up and talk to people in the future depends on how far you can go. ”

Tang Xun replied: "Yes, Shiro kept it in mind and didn't dare to relax a little. ”

Father Tang said again: "At the beginning of the year, the news of your official appointment came back, and the entire Tang family didn't know how happy it was, you need manpower, for your father, the Tang family's medicinal herb business was stopped, and a few shopkeepers who have followed me for more than ten years and decades were sent to you, and servants were sent to you from home, all of them were helping you, just so that you could do things well and save some qualifications." What about you, you were bewitched by others, and drove back those shopkeepers who had helped you for several months, they just collected some money, how much they did, how much money they spent for their father to dredge up the relationship over the years, more than ten times, they didn't take it with peace of mind. ”

Tang Xun looked at the ground with his eyes and was silent.
