Chapter 348: New Rizhao Port



The Northern Song Dynasty was a relatively enlightened dynasty, with developed foreign trade, and there were many boats of various dart boards, and all kinds of dart boards had to be registered in the yamen and pay taxes as usual.

Yiju is very large, much larger than Jeju, but the local economy is very backward and sparsely populated. The village near the sea is called Rizhao Village, and Hu Chengcheng, who is in charge of maritime trade, has taken a fancy to this place and wants to build a port here. The relationship between Jeju Tuanlian and Yizhou is not bad, not to mention that the wharf built in this year is very simple, nothing more than a few trestles, a few gantry cranes for loading and unloading, and there are hundreds of warehouses on the shore.

Hu Cheng has a partner in Rizhao Village, a wealthy man in Rizhao Village, named Wang Kaijiang, who was originally just a porcelain burner, and the plates and bowls fired are of good quality and can be seen. But what kind of place is the Great Song Dynasty, it is the country of porcelain, there is porcelain everywhere, and it is difficult to sell it. Later, Hu Cheng found him and commissioned the processing of porcelain for foreign trade from him, this Wang Kaijiang is very good at doing business, asking for affordable prices, and the business will come and go.

Hu Cheng planned to build a port from Rizhao Village, Wang Kaijiang agreed with both hands, anyway, the sea is all sand and gravel land, except for grazing, there is no other purpose, find a sheltered barren beach that occupies hundreds of acres, Rizhao Port began to be built. The state government doesn't care about such a trivial matter at all, and no one cares about it. But there are still scum among the people in the neighborhood, stealing timber, lime, and even bricks from the wharf. Wang Kaijiang took care of everything, saying that he was looking for someone to be responsible for the safety of the wharf. Hu Cheng didn't agree, this kind of thing can't rely on others, you still have to do it yourself. As soon as Chao Gai told him about the matter, Chao Gai arranged for Wu Yong, and that's how the Yizhou Dart Bureau came.

Tang Bin and Hao Siwen took office. They are not connected with the recruits trained by Luda, they are half-finished cavalry directly transferred from Sun An. One hundred cavalrymen, all dressed into the clothes of the dart board, black suits, black hats, and a line of small characters printed on them, Yizhou Dart Bureau, play a dart flag, and write Yizhou Dart Bureau.

Tang Bin and Hao Siwen rode horses and walked in front with big guns, and the cavalry behind them was armed with a simple knife, and the team drove to Rizhao Port in Yizhou. Merchants along the way saw it and came over to ask what price the dart was. Tang Bin said that we only accept overseas trade darts, mainly to Goryeo and Dongying.

Tang Bin said: "Jeju is full of talents, there are many high-ranking people, and the reputation is loud enough on Shandong Road, since the construction of a port in Rizhao is still hindered, it seems that things are more tricky." ”

"It may be that some earth overlords don't know the sky outside, so they will make trouble, don't worry. Since my brother can trust us, the two of us have come forward with a hundred cavalry to solve the problem, no matter how tricky it is, we have to get things done. Hao Siwen said.

"Of course, what kind of local forces can withstand the attack of a hundred cavalry, not to mention that Wu Yongjun said that if there is a need for support, he will immediately fly pigeons to pass the book, and he will send Niu Gao's three hundred cavalry to support." Tang Bin said.

This road is not far, the light cavalry is a hundred miles a day, Tang Bin Hao Siwen is also shocked, I didn't expect that on this road, there will be an inn opened by the Chao family business house every fifty miles, it seems that this strength is really not blown.

Four days later, the team arrived at the port of Rizhao. Liu Liang, who was in charge of the port construction, received Tang Bin and Hao Siwen.

"The two of you have worked hard all the way, but this port is shabby, it is currently under construction, and there is no house to live in, so you can only live in tents for the aggrieved team." Liu Liang said.

Tang Bin said: "The big shopkeeper is polite, it is common to sleep in our industry, and there is nothing wronged or wronged." Tell me what is the biggest obstacle at the moment, and let's solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

Liu Liang said: "Okay, let me tell you the details. ”

It turned out that everything went well at the beginning of the port construction, but I don't know how it happened, and there was a person named Li Heita in Wulian Town, more than a hundred miles away, who knew about it. This Li Heita is also a popular figure in the south of Yizhou, gathering 180 people to do dart business. Don't think that he is a real bodyguard, but in fact, he opens a dart game on the surface, and secretly specializes in killing people and goods. The most common is to collect protection money. Li Heita had originally contacted the Chao family big business house and wanted to collect protection money, but the guys of the Chao family business house were so tough that they used the knife on the spot, and people on both sides were injured.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and in line with this reason, Liu Liang also killed Li Heita completely. But he didn't know where he heard about it, doing overseas trade to make money, he had to supply Liu Liang and them, opened a magnetic kiln, and the porcelain burned was the same as a hemp face, and he didn't look at it. Liu Liang refused on the spot and didn't want anything.

Li Heita was anxious, and said to Liu Liang: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink, everyone earns money, hello, I'm good, everyone." If you want to make money alone, you are not good, I am not good, and everyone is not good. If you don't believe it, you don't want to build this port. ”

"If you have the guts, you can try it, and when you know, it's too late." Liu Liang said.

Originally, Liu Liang didn't take this Li Heita seriously, who knew that this kid was really ruthless, and recruited more than 100 second-rate people, stealing things and setting fire to the construction site every once in a while, and there was really no way to work on the disrupted construction site. The relationship between the two sides and the local government is relatively good, so the government deliberately did not interfere and watched from the sidelines.

After listening to this, Tang Bin said: "I understand the matter, it's not that serious, and the problem is still with Li Heita." ”

As he was talking, there were shouts of killing outside, and the soldiers came to report: "Someone has made trouble and set fire, seventy or eighty people." ”

When everyone came out, they saw that the guys on the construction site were fighting with a group of ruffians, who had lit up a few timber piles, and the smoke was billowing out.

Liu Liang said: "Look at it, this is what Li Heita invited." ”

Tang Bin nodded: "The big shopkeeper, let our guys take it down." ”

Liu Liang asked his subordinates to ring the hanging bell, and when the guys heard it, they all withdrew, and the group of people invited by Li Heita became even more arrogant and proud.

Tang Bin said to Hao Siwen: "Let the cavalry change to wooden sticks, and we will outflank the left and right wings, and no one will let go." ”

Hao Siwen said: "Yes." ”

After that, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen led the cavalry to replace them with hardwood sticks made of acacia wood that were one and a half meters long, and the war horses galloped, trampled on iron hooves, and the left and right wings outflanked the past. This group of people is miserable, and the cavalry are not so gentle, often beating the head with a stick to the head and bleeding, and the ghost crying wolf with a stick on the arm.

In a moment's effort, a total of seventy-five people were all caught, and none of them escaped. The outer cavalry was surrounded, and this group of bastards squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands one by one, and whoever dared to raise their heads would have the whip of the cavalry.

Tang Bin said: "From today on, this dock will be under the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Dart Bureau. ”

The thugs said, "We know it's wrong, and we won't dare to come again." ”

"It's late, grab something and set it on fire, it's unforgivable, a shovel for each person, dig a pit." Tang Bin said.

Under the pressure of the cavalry, the bastards, each with a shovel, began to dig a hole in the soft part of the pier, and it didn't take long to dig more than a man deep. The bastards were terrified, was this going to be buried alive?

One person couldn't bear it: "Don't bury us alive, I don't want to die, I know it's wrong, we just took fifty yuan to make trouble." ”

Tang Bin said: "Buried alive, you are not qualified enough, this is digging the foundation, and then do it, take care of the food every day, and let you go after a month, and if you dare to run, you will drown directly and throw it into the sea." ”

Liu Liang next to him gave a thumbs up and praised him, and said to Hao Siwen: "Was this Tang battalion commander mixed with society before?" ”

Hao Siwen shook his head: "No, but he has been walking the rivers and lakes all year round and knows a lot about the things on the rivers and lakes." ”

This group of bastards was caught, and Liu Liang arranged for his men to watch them, daring to run away and clean up to their deaths.

The next day, Tang Bin said: "I'd rather be a thief for a thousand days, where can I guard against thieves for a thousand days, passive defense is not the way, let's go to meet Li Heita." ”

Hao Siwen agreed, and immediately asked Liu Liang to arrange a guide, and one hundred horsemen rushed to Wulian Town, and walked for half a day, just at the time of lunch. This guy is so desolate, it's just a street, and it doesn't even have a city wall. There are also far fewer pedestrians and business travelers coming and going on the street than in Yuncheng.

The guide pointed to a three-story building in front of him and said, "That's the Black Tower, one of the properties of the Black Tower, and the largest hotel in the city." ”

Tang Bin said: "The cavalry is inconvenient in the town, I will bring fifty people in, and you will lead the others to guard outside the town, and there is a situation horn to contact." ”

Hao Siwen said: "No problem, we just let the horses go here." ”

Tang Bin dismounted with fifty cavalrymen and went straight to the Black Tower. The group was wearing black uniforms, and although they didn't hold weapons, they weren't good at looking at their momentum.

The guy stretched out his hand to stop him, Tang Bin glared, and the frightened guy hurriedly ran away. Don't look at this desolate place, the lobby is full, and when I saw so many black-clothed men, they all ran away with their tails between their legs.

Tang Bin was not polite, and led the people to the hall, five people in one table, occupying ten tables.

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely and came over and asked, "You guys, what's the matter with you?" ”

Tang Bin said: "Aren't you opening a restaurant?" Of course, I came to the restaurant to eat, and I served the food. ”

While beckoning the guys to serve the food, the shopkeeper secretly sent someone to invite the big boss.

Li Heita is not at home yet, I don't know where to find a woman, Li Heita's cousin, Li Heizi is here. As soon as this guy heard that someone was from his hotel to make trouble, he immediately blew up the nest, and Li Heizi said: "Brothers, copy the guy." ”

Hula, there were forty or fifty people, all shirtless, with dragons and tigers on their bodies, carrying mountain knives and came to the Black Tower Hotel.

When the hotel shopkeeper and his men saw that the reinforcements were coming, they no longer lowered their breath, and took out the kitchen cutter and rolling pin from the back kitchen.

"Aren't you Heng, dare to come to the Black Tower Hotel to make trouble, your time of death has come." The shopkeeper of the hotel said.
