Bakou, ships like shuttles, since Yu Wenwen took office in Bazhou (now renamed Huangzhou), Bakou has become more and more prosperous, as an important port in Huangzhou, Bakou has already been upgraded from "Tianjin" to "port". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the east bank of Bakou is Badong City, which is also the seat of the county seat of Badong County, which was like Xiyang City, the population of Bahe City has tripled, the city has expanded a circle, and the scale of the port area outside the city has gradually expanded.

Ba water flows into the Yangtze River from north to south, the mouth of the river is Ba Kou, the east bank is Donggang, adjacent to Ba Dong City, mainly a mooring place for the navy, most of the shipbuilding/ship repair yards here.

The west bank is the west port is also the main port, the Bakou port is said to be for this reason, most of the cargo ships are berthed here, loading and unloading goods, and more than 20 miles away from the Xiyang City has an official road connection, the bulk goods of the merchants in the city are traded through the west port.

With the increasing prosperity of trading in the city, more and more ships came and went to Bakou Port, and there were more and more things, the berths were tight, the warehouses were tight, and there were more and more people doing coolies to unload goods at the wharf, and there were more and more disputes.

In a room in a compound in Xigang, Xu Shao, the Shou of Padang County, is convening relevant personnel for a "discussion".

"The official knows that every inch of land in the port is expensive, and everyone is waiting to buy and sell to feed his subordinates, and the whole family is pointing to the salary to buy rice and cook." Xu Shao looked at everyone and said, "But! You have to follow the rules no matter what! ”

"What are rules? Rules are laws! ”

"The government doesn't care about the rules directly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of injustice, and everyone must be unconvinced, but you can tear down each other, and this rule can't be set, so today the official will take the lead, and you will set the rules!"

What Xu Shao did today was to preside over the "discussion" in the center, and let the relevant personnel set the rules for the wharf to live, and there have been many fights and brawls between different stevedore groups recently, and if this continues, something big will happen sooner or later.

Not only the stevedores who unload the goods at the wharf, but also the warehouses and warehouses where the goods are stored, as well as the shops that provide accommodation for the merchants, are all competing, and they are competing in a disorderly manner.

Vicious price reduction between each other, or slander each other, competing for guests, throwing stones, hanging dead chickens, splashing chicken blood, pig blood intimidation, this is still a "cultural fight", beating sticks, arson, drugged, this kind of vicious incidents have happened repeatedly.

Thanks to the siblings of the county government, the night watchmen also dutifully performed their duties, and put out several fires that had begun to spread in time without causing a catastrophe.

Who will do it, Xu Shao probably knows in his heart, but he can't catch the handle, this kind of scoundrel kicking the widow's door in the middle of the night and digging up the grave of the desperate household is a bit tricky to deal with, after all, as a county guard, you have to talk about evidence, and you can't cut people if you don't agree.

But you can't sit idly by, so you have to salute first and then soldier, and if someone doesn't know how to lift, then don't blame him for being spicy.

To set the rules today, Xu Shao came prepared, the relevant inside information has been clearly figured, and he has also held several "symposiums" with all parties, and now is the time to make a decision.

The government presided over in the center, first let the shopkeepers put forward their opinions, the minority obeyed the majority, set the rules and regulations, and implemented them in the future.

Those who play yin are even more afraid!

"Xu Mingfu is right, the rules must be set, everyone is harmonious and wealthy, there is time to dismantle the stage, it is better to take more work."

A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears was the first to speak, as Xu Shao's insider, he naturally wanted to make a good start, but this is also reasonable, isn't everyone scrambling to make more money.

"I just ask the Ming Mansion to deal with it fairly, after all, there is always a first come, first come, last year donated money to expand the wharf, and the shop also donated a lot, and it can't be later..."

Some people started up, some people answered, and others spoke one after another, you say a word to me, some pour bitter water, some point at mulberry and scold Huai, some fish in troubled waters, and some pretend to be crazy and stupid.

This is not a matter, Xu Shao has already figured out the bottom clearly, back then, the Bakou people hated dogs, except for the dilapidated camps of the navy, there were no valuable belongings, and now every inch of land has attracted many gluttons.

The wharf is divided into three parts, one is the location of the government, naturally no one dares to grab, and the other is the location of several big owners in Huangzhou City, no one fights, and most of the remaining lots, especially the section near the river is the focus of the competition.

This involves the loading and unloading of goods, storage, and business, taking advantage of the fact that the merchants have just landed, and quickly pull them to their own stores in the port to negotiate business.

Either way, it is most important to let the merchant's ship stop at or near the door of his shop, so the closer to the Yangtze River, the easier it is to attract merchants, and with the continuous expansion of Bakou Port, the wharf near the river is also constantly changing.

The original pier was in the Ba Shui River and then slowly extended outward, which led to a change in the quality of the lot: the original outermost good lot became worse, and the new good lot was replaced by a newer lot.

The first to Bakou Wharf, seeing that Bakou Port is becoming more and more prosperous, and his own location is gradually getting worse, more and more inside, where is the feeling of feeling, and later it is easy to occupy the Linjiang Wharf lot, so he naturally guards against stubbornness and does not want to be squeezed out.

With the wharf, the berthing ships to load and unload goods to stevedores, there are ships to have goods, there are goods to work, there is work to have wages, each shop itself also recruits young people to be responsible for loading and unloading, there must be a ship parked in front of the dock to work.

There are also simple groups of stevedores, who gather at the wharf under the leadership of the foreman, and rush up whenever a ship is berthed, competing for merchants to hire and load and unload goods, and virtually rob the shop stevedores of their jobs.

Linjiang wharf ships in and out of convenience, ships docking must give priority to the river, can unload the goods, carriages, carts to go along the wharf to the inside (north) on the official road, the wharf of the lot, come and go to cause all kinds of inconvenience to the shops here.

There were no ships in front of their own doors, they were stopped by Linjiang and parked at their wharves, and then they kept unloading and putting them in their warehouses, and the goods passed in front of their houses during transportation.

Merchants bring goods from Xiyang City, or choose the warehouse at the port wharf, but also give priority to the riverside area, and the goods coming and going are passing in front of their own doors.

Looking at other people's houses, their own doors are full of birds, how many eyes are piercing, how upset and upset, and then all kinds of chickens and dogs jump out, anyway, it's a mess.

So Xu Shao wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and when he saw that everyone complained again, everything that should have been said was said, and it was time for him to speak.

"Everyone wants to occupy the wharf near the river, but except for the wharf of the government, there is not enough place to divide it, when Bakou Port was built on a large scale, the merchants who came first have become the worst now."

"The problem must always be solved, and I have already read the few suggestions given to you in front of this official matter, so I will start voting now, and the minority obeys the majority!"

"First, when the ship enters the port, only the pilot set up in the port can come forward to lead the way, and the pilot ship will lead the ship to berth, regardless of the east port, the west port, the berth is berthed, and the berth has a ship to stop, and then the ship will stop in turn to the vacant seat."

"Except for the pilot ship, no one else is allowed to solicit merchant ships without authorization! Where the ship is parked, the merchant in that location will negotiate with the customer, and the negotiation will not be able to pick up another house. ”

"On a single day, the berthing sequence is from north to south, and on a double day, the berthing sequence is from south to north. This one, raise your hand in agreement! ”

After Xu Shao finished speaking, he saw that everyone present raised their hands, whether they sincerely agreed or were forced to do so, and asked the officials to write it down and continue to the next one.

"Second, the distance between the shops and warehouses and the wharf is too close, the carriage is very inconvenient, and it is easy to block the goods as soon as there are too many goods, and then there are uneven storefronts, there are brick houses, wooden houses, and the distance from the wharf is also different."

"The sewage of each family is discharged everywhere, and when it rains, the sewage flows sideways, whether it is epidemic prevention or fire prevention, there are many hidden dangers."

"The government took the lead in replanning, and all the mansions were demolished and rebuilt, all of which were two-story brick buildings with a unified style, as well as sewage and drainage ditches, and the new buildings were moved back ten steps to make room for the vehicles transporting goods."

"There is a yard behind the row of brick buildings at the wharf, and the bulk goods must be placed in the port warehouse area, and the warehouse area is rebuilt in the warehouse area, and the shopkeepers choose the warehouse!"

"The relevant expenses, you will pay sixty percent, and the county government will pay forty percent." When Xu Shao said this, he clapped his hands, and the clerk pushed in a model, which was the model of Bakou Port, which was made of earth and wood.

"This is the model that everyone has seen before, and this will be what Bakou Port will look like in the future." After Xu Shao finished speaking, he initiated a vote: "Raise your hand in agreement!" ”

"Article 3, the stevedores on the wharf, whether they are organized by the shop or by themselves, their respective foremen register with the county office, and all the people under them must register their origins, and if they do not register, they are not allowed to work, and if something happens, the foreman is responsible!"

"After the registration, the lottery sorts, the first place is the first to take the job, the second place is second, and so on, the next day the first place is turned to the end, the second place is connected, and so on!"

After tossing for a long time, the matter was finalized, after everyone dispersed, Xu Shao looked at the model of Bakou Port in a daze, he never thought that he would be in charge of "port affairs", he only knew that the governance of the place should persuade Nongsang, and the result was to manage the port.

The development of Bakou Port is so fast, there is really no way to talk about it, and Xu Shao doesn't know how many sleepless nights he has spent today.

"Mingfu, the time is almost up."

Xu Shao nodded when he heard this, today is only the first game, and the next one is the second one. (To be continued.) )
