Chapter 4OO: Thriving Zhifu Bay (Ask for subscriptions, recommendations, favorites)
This should be Zhifu Island, right?
In the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the spiky shuttle-shaped islands that appeared in the distance, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but churn the memories of his previous life in his heart.
Zhifu Island is a spindle-shaped island with two pointed ends.
The long and narrow island lies between the sea and the land. Several natural sand bars connect the narrow island with the land from the middle. The whole island is like a miraculous reishi mushroom growing from the land to the sea. Zhifu Island is also named after this.
The sea boat rode the wind and waves to draw a big arc on the sea, and swept lightly along the outer edge of Zhifu Island, and the oceanic side of Zhifu Island fell into Zhu Youzhen's eyes.
Looking at the steep cliff in the north of Zhifu Island, still standing proudly against the wind and waves, Inspector General Zhu You let out a sigh of relief. This is extremely similar to the scenery in his impression, so Zhu Youzhen finally confirmed that this is Yantai in his previous life.
The natural breakwater formed by the long and narrow island of Zhifu Island firmly protects the two bays separated by the sand bar. The East Bay is what Han Chengzu said, Zhifu Bay, where sea ships are often berthed.
"It's finally here."
Bypassing the tip of the island on the east side of Zhifu Island and seeing the endless stream of ships entering the bay under the sunset, Shen Shouyao also breathed a sigh of relief.
The East Bay of Zhifu Island is a berthing place spontaneously formed by cargo ships coming and going from the south to the north. It is not like Dengzhou Wharf, which has a variety of complete terminal facilities. There is not even a lighthouse in the bay to guide the way.
Once the sun goes down, ships can only enter the bay by experience in the dark, and various collisions are very prone to accidents. If it is not necessary, Shen Shouyao does not want to enter Zhifu Bay in the dark.
"This is Zhifu Bay?"
The speed of the boat slowed down, and Zhu You looked at the various ships that were heading for the bay, and was greatly surprised.
As far as Zhu Youzhen's line of sight could see, there were 1 or 20 boats heading towards the bay. Although most of them were just small fishing boats returning home, and there were a few cargo boats, this prosperous scene greatly surprised Zhu Youzhen's expectations.
The presence of so many fishing boats proves that there is already a large permanent population in this area, and it should have formed a population gathering place of a certain size. There is already a certain local manpower base, which is quite good news for the construction of new ports in the future.
"Hao Gou, oh, Hao Yongzhong, probe the depth of the channel and estimate the size of the bay." Zhu Youzhen was so excited that he almost called out Hao Yongzhong's nickname.
This really can't blame Zhu Youzhen for not holding the door on his mouth, who let the name Hao Goudan give Zhu Youzhen too deep a memory.
"Yes."
Taking a step forward, according to the rules of the junior team, Hao Yongzhong responded loudly. Hao Yongzhong's voice was loud and powerful, but his face was full of helplessness.
Without looking back, Hao Yongzhong knew that the faces of his companions behind him must be hard to hide smiles now.
The nickname is the pain of Hao Yongzhong's life!
Since entering the palace, changing his name has always been the biggest motivation to support Hao Yongzhong's hard training. After several times the efforts of his peers, Hao Yongzhong stood out from the 300 teenagers and won the first month of training championship of the junior team, thus winning the great honor of being named by King Xin.
To this day, Hao Yongzhong still clearly remembers every word His Royal Highness King Xin said to him on the day of the name.
It was on the high platform of the martial arts arena, and His Royal Highness King Xin smiled and asked him in a low voice: "Dog, do you have a name you particularly want to call?" ”
"I want to be called Hao Yongzhong."
The name that I had thought about for a long time blurted out from Hao Yongzhong's mouth without thinking.
Hao Yongzhong remembered that when His Royal Highness King Xin heard his answer, he raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became thicker, and he seemed to be a lot more relaxed. His Royal Highness King Xin immediately praised him softly.
His Royal Highness King Shin said at the time: "Yongzhong, do you want to be loyal to Gu forever? Good name, you name it! Immediately, King Xin loudly announced that he had given him Hao Goudan and changed his name to Hao Yongzhong.
Now that I think about it, Hao Yongzhong still wants to give himself a mouthful.
Why was he so stupid at that time, His Highness asked, and he replied stupidly, shouldn't he wait for His Royal Highness to personally give him a name?
If His Highness personally gave him the name, His Highness wouldn't be wrong again, right?
While setting out the line to measure the water depth of the channel, Hao Yongzhong regretted that his brain was too stupid and his mouth was too fast.
"Your Highness, it's not early, are we going to enter the island first, and we're going to measure it carefully tomorrow?"
Looking at the sunset that was about to fall completely, Shen Shouyao took a few steps forward and whispered in Zhu Youzhen's ear.
"Xiao Shen, you command the ship to enter the port as soon as possible. Yongzhong only measured the depth of the waterway. ”
After being reminded by Shen Shouyao, Zhu You looked at the sunset that had fallen into most of the sea, and hurriedly added a sentence in a loud voice.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Stepping back and bowing to Zhu Youzhen, Shen Shouyao turned his head and ordered loudly: "Tune 3 degrees to the left, lower half a sail, and enter the bay." ”
The sea vessel glides smoothly down the channel into the bay. While calmly issuing various instructions for ship operation, Shen Shouyao had an indescribable frustration in his heart.
Today, this is the second time that His Royal Highness King Xin has fully adopted his suggestion from Shen Shouyao. King Xin's weight to him, Shen Shouyao could feel it completely. Because of this, Shen Shouyao felt extremely embarrassed in his heart.
Early in the morning, His Royal Highness King Shin wanted to leave early in the morning. It was he, Shen Shouyao, who felt that the various supplies on the ship were a little insufficient, and insisted on making up for the supplies before leaving.
It was precisely because His Royal Highness King Xin adopted his suggestion Shen Shouyao that the departure time of the sea ship was postponed by 2 hours. Otherwise, they should have arrived at Zhifu Island a long time ago.
In retrospect, the ship's supplies were slightly insufficient, but the voyage to Zhifu Island was actually barely enough. It took 2 hours to make up for all the supplies, but he Shen Shouyao made a mistake. He should have spent half an hour replenishing a small amount of supplies. In that case, you will be able to obtain at least 1 hour of waterway measurement time.
It was evident that he had not arranged it well, but His Royal Highness the King of Shin once again took his suggestion and abandoned the instructions given to survey the channel of the bay and agreed to enter the bay quickly. King Xin, this really gave him enough face for Shen Shouyao.
"Daddy is right. I can't coordinate the whole trip, and I'm really far from a qualified commander. ”
Thinking of his father Shen Yourong's evaluation of him, Shen Shouyao's heart was full of bitterness.
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King to give face, I would have really lost my face this time."
In Shen Shouyao's self-examination, the sunset slowly sank into the sea little by little, leaving only a dim afterglow shining on the sea.
In the last rays of the setting sun, the sea ship slowly approached the humble pier of Zhifu Island.
The wharf on Zhifu Island is simply made of wood along the coast. The long dock is lined with boats of all sizes. A long stretch of coast looks like a busy scene.
The dock parking area seems to have no clear distinction, but on closer inspection, cargo ships and fishing boats are consciously moored separately to different shores.
The most obvious difference is that in the area where cargo ships are berthed, people on the shore used to transport supplies on ships; In the fishing boat area, the boats are unloading all kinds of salvaged seafood on the shore.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.
It is really worthy of the predecessor of Yantai Port, and this prosperous scene does not seem to be much worse than Dengzhou.
