Chapter 389: Departure

In addition to more than 400 students and teachers going south this time, there is also a team of Yixing Hutchison, this time Hangzhou's business needs to be rolled out in time, Zhang San originally planned to let Qian Jin personally go south to arrange this matter, but Qian Jin couldn't leave, so he had to send a competent person to do this.

In addition to maintaining the normal operation of the business in the capital, Qian Jin is also responsible for the sales of perfumes that are about to go public, and this business is very profitable, so Zhang San has to hand over this important matter to Qian Jin.

The rest is money, but this time Zhang San doesn't plan to bring other super-first-class masters, so in addition to the dart master sent by the dart bureau, the children are divided into two boats, led by the teacher.

When they set off, everyone came to see them off, Shuang'er was crying and her eyes were red, originally Shuang'er also wanted to follow Zhang San to the south, but Tokyo really needs someone to sit down, and the righteousness of the capital also needs Shuang'er. So Zhang San persuaded her to stay.

All the way south, Zhang San went back and forth on the two-day boat to teach the children, talk about the precautions along the way, the children are also the first time in this relaxed state of mind to go out, listen to the teacher and boatman explain the legends along the way, looking at the scenery on the shore along the way happy.

There are also more than a dozen children and two teachers have a slight seasickness, except for the two more serious ones who were arranged to be sent back to Tokyo by the dart board along the way, the others can still insist, the ship is a direct channel to Hangzhou, so in addition to supplies along the way, there is almost no need to stop the ship, so it arrived in Yangzhou on the eighth day.

Zhang San deliberately took a day off in Yangzhou, let the teacher take the children to go shopping, relax, and the dart bureau also sent a dart to lead the way, everyone heard that they could get off the boat, and immediately finished happily.

Zhang San himself stayed on the boat and watched the money, this time Zhang San transported another 100,000 taels of silver, this is the last large-scale delivery of silver, the money robbed last time, plus the silver that was recently exchanged have been transported this time, so Zhang San has to watch to rest assured.

On the second day, the ship crossed the Yangtze River and began to go to Hangzhou, and finally arrived at the Hangzhou shipyard after four days.

Zhang San also saw the three Ruan brothers, but he didn't expect them to have arrived in Hangzhou, Zhang San said hello to everyone and began to arrange for the children to get off the boat, and then the carriage rushed over to load the money into the warehouse.

After everyone was busy, everyone sat in the hall of the shipyard, Zhang San began to listen to Gongsun Sheng's report on the recent work, first of all, the original batch of cargo ships in the shipyard have now been launched, and the dart master recruited by Weiyuan Dart Bureau has also started training on the ship.

The construction of the new ship is also going well, it is expected to be launched in another month, as long as there are no problems, it can be built on a large scale, and two shipwrights from Tokyo also brought samples of the dart boats, and the first batch of twelve ships has been started, and now the keel has been completed, and the ship is now being spliced.

The sailors in the sailor school are now also practicing boat manoeuvring on various ships, and the children on the Yixue side have also begun to recruit and learn, originally Zhang San was afraid that there would not be enough teachers here, but he didn't expect Gongsun Sheng to use himself and a few accounts that had learned Zhang San's mathematics to teach the teacher together, and the teacher was teaching the students, and this method solved some of the teacher problems.

Now Hangzhou's Yixue has gathered more than 2,000 orphans in nearby cities, and the fast learners have learned more than 1,000 words and basic addition and subtraction operations, Zhang San is very happy to hear it, this Gongsun Sheng really has two brushes, which undoubtedly saves Zhang San a lot of time.

Then the Hangzhou steward of Weiyuan Dart Bureau also reported that the recruited dart master and dart player had been trained for three months, and everyone was basically familiar with the cooperation and operation on the ship, and was able to resist the attack of a small group of pirates.

According to Zhang San's request, the dart bureau first set up a dart station along the land route to the south, and now the dart station has been opened to Quanzhou Port, and is continuing to expand to the south, and the dart station can be set up in Qiongzhou in another month.

Then Wu Decai reported on the construction of his procurement channels, because the consumption of materials on the island continued to increase, so now his warehouse has been expanding, fortunately, there is a shipyard as a cover, and no one suspects that the shipyard is now a small town with 10,000 or 20,000 people, and Wu Decai is also responsible for the procurement of all things.

Then there is the canning workshop, because of the abundant fruit resources in the south, the production of canned food is now very smooth, but this fresh way of eating and the characteristics of storage resistance, so that the canned food is hot.

Northerners rarely have the opportunity to eat fruits from the south, so canned food is very popular in Tokyo, and now there is a shipload of canned hair to Tokyo almost every three days, and the maritime merchants in the south will also prepare some canned food on board as an occasional welfare to improve their lives.

Some of the sailors on the ship would also buy a little for their own pastime, because seeing that the people on the island were also interested in these canned fruits, and the sales had been good, Gongsun Sheng was inspired by Zhang San's promotion of sixteen incense, so he suggested that Wu Decai organize people to go to the coastal islands to sell them.

Wu Decai really organized a group of people who were not afraid of death to sell to fishermen and pirates along the coast, not to mention that the business was not bad, and he also sold some other items, and by the way, he mastered the nest of many pirates.

Zhang San nodded and asked, "How did the canned fish you were ordered to make?" ”

Wu Decai immediately picked up a clay pot from the table, handed it to Zhang San and said: "Third brother, this is the canned fish we made, it has been put for two months now, I opened ten cans every ten days according to the instructions of the third brother, so far there is no sign of damage, and our canned food can be stored for at least two months." ”

Zhang San said with satisfaction: "Well, then you start to increase the purchase of seafood, and start to manufacture canned fish on a large scale, this kind of canned food should have a good sales volume in the inland, you must figure out the shelf life, and encourage everyone to study how to improve the shelf life." ”

After Wu Decai stepped back, Zhang San saw that the others had nothing to say, and asked with a smile: "Yuanba, have you been in the habit of living here in the past few months?" ”

Zhang Yuanba touched his head and said: "I eat well and sleep well, but it's a little stuffy, third brother, you still let me follow you." ”

Zhang San thought that he really couldn't have no thugs around him, if he had to do it himself, wouldn't he have no identity, Zhang San asked the dart bureau, and the dart bureau said that there was no problem. After all, Zhang Yuanba really doesn't need him in addition to having a deterrent effect in the dart game.

Zhang San agreed to let Zhang Yuanba follow him, and then Zhang San began to arrange the affairs of these teachers, and arranged for the dart bureau and Wu Decai to cooperate with the development of Yixing Hutchison in Hangzhou.

This is a big deal, and in the next stage, in addition to the development of Weiyuan and the shipyard, Yixing Hutchison will be the focus. Many of Zhang San's goods need to be sold in his own store, so that he will not be coerced by the seller.
