Chapter 40: The Prosperous Port of Kuching

After more than a day of wandering, Wang Kun's sailboat finally arrived at Kuching Port in Sarawak. More than two months later www.biquge.info Kuching Port is already very different from when Wang Kun first came.

First of all, the floor of the port has been trimmed, not only has a layer of stones been paved, but also a warehouse has been built in the port.

Then there was the formation of a small market town next to the port, although at the moment the population was not very large, and the scale was not very large. However, Wang Kun believes that as long as they are given time, this place will definitely develop into a large city!

Then there is the fact that there is already a large area of land around the port, which has been cleared and planted with crops.

Then there is a newly stepped out road to Shilongmen. Not only that, Wang Kun also found an old gentleman who had studied before, and set up a port management office. So this old man, who had only been a bookkeeper before he had read the book, turned around and became the director of the port management office.

There is no way to come out to live in this era, most of them are farmers who can't survive in their hometowns, and Chinese scholars and women overseas are very scarce! Therefore, Wang Kun can only be the tallest of the short, as long as it is a person who has read and knows words, Wang Kun will be trained simply and let them take up their posts.

Therefore, according to the rules of Kuching Port, Cheng Luo and his family have to register with the management office when they go to sea and come back now.

After Cheng Luo came back from sailing, he went ashore and went to the port management office to register first. When I came to a simple house, I knocked on the door and pushed the door in, and inside was a man in his sixties, with a whitish whip behind him, shaking his head and reading a book.

"Ahem! Old Master Xu, I'm here to trouble you again, hehe! "Cheng Luo's attitude is quite good.

The old man on the opposite side glanced at it with his eyelids slightly raised, and then said; "Hmmm! Give me all the information you have to go to sea this time! ”

The old master asked, and Cheng Luo replied after a while, and Cheng Luo came out.

Then he came back and brought the recruits off the ship. Then hand it over to the person in charge of the Selong Gate stationed at Kuching Port, and they will bring the person safely to Selom Mun.

Then Cheng Luo had to unload the grain and load it into the warehouse, and then his voyage would be a successful one.

In fact, Cheng Luo's visit to Yamaguchi Yang this time was just a stop-by, and their main task for the next long time was to keep running-in, keep practicing, and operate the sailboat as proficiently as possible.

Wang Kun has seen modern sailing technology, and at the same time, he vows that he will not take a sailboat in the future, and will never take a sailboat again. Not only is the space small and full of meaning, but the speed is extremely slow, and it takes three times as long for the same distance.

This is undoubtedly a torment for Wang Kun, who is accustomed to the speed of more than a dozen knots at every turn and a comfortable cabin.

The matter here will be handed over to Cheng Luo, because he has more important things to do.

Just now, Wang Kun guessed from the fishing boat parked in the harbor that Zhang Lei might have brought all the soldiers trained there from Singapore. And it was also confirmed at the port office, so the operation that Wang Kun had been preparing for was finally about to begin.

The news of Wang Kun's arrival at Kuching Port spread when Wang Kun got off the boat, and the Chinese living here were so excited that they came to watch. Because they are not at all like in other places, where the managers see them as objects of exploitation. And here, Wang Kun regards them as objects of protection, and if they encounter any difficulties, they can also ask Wang Kun for help.

Yes, Wang Kun is already preparing for the next step of formally forming a political power, he is not only buying the hearts of the people, he is also exercising the work functions of the government. After all, there is a limit to the number of civil servants he can recruit now, so he can only continue to improve on the existing basis.

In other words, he first used the name of the office to help others deal with some things for free, such as civil disputes! The poor life can't go on! Wait a minute. Whatever the government should manage, this office can be official. Therefore, when the political power is established in the future, it can be directly converted into an official organization, so that it will not seem too abrupt.

"Official! You're back! What is the reward for going out this time? The old farmer next to him saw Wang Kun coming over and asked kindly.

"Huh! It's Uncle Liu! Don't you dare to call 'official', you're so old, I'm afraid of losing your life! Wang Kun saw that he still knew this person, so he talked to the other party skillfully.

"No, it won't! I showed you that you are the reincarnation of Tai Bai Xing, and your life is hard! Ha ha! Speaking of this, the old man's smile pulled out the old folds on his forehead.

"Huh! You really know how to laugh, and if I can live a long life, I will definitely bless your old man's life to be a hundred years old! Wang Kun said with a smile.

He wouldn't be here with a half-hundred-year-old man, who doesn't have a ghost! They are all so old, and it is not easy to change their concepts. And the Chinese at this time, especially the peasants living at the bottom like this, can be said to be their spiritual sustenance.

Because they have suffered a lot in this life, they can only tell themselves in their hearts that they hope to invest in a rich family in the next life. Then they will have the motivation to live again!

"I don't dare to live so long, but now I am very content, I have been working hard for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have met such a good person. As long as you come here, you not only provide food and seeds for the first year, but also give us the opportunity to do odd jobs. You know that this gives us hope to live, and you have no words about the good security here. So we're lucky to be here! The old man said excitedly.

Yes, just like the old man said, in order to attract the population, Wang Kun not only provided land but also provided rations for free, and also provided opportunities for odd jobs. So that they can have a stable source of income before the dealer matures. This unconscious temporarily solved their worries and gave them hope to start a new life. Wang Kun also promised that in the next five years, all the farms produced in their land would be owned by them.

This is even more important to them, and for Chinese at this time, there is nothing more attractive than land and tax exemption. Even gold mining is not as attractive as this, because they always think that land is the safest thing. Even the most successful businessmen eventually returned to their hometowns, bought land and rented it to the local owners.

Hearing what the old man said, the onlookers who were standing around also laughed.

The reason why they dared to talk to Wang Kun like this was because Wang Kun had never put up his own shelf. At that time, in order to let the new immigrants live here with peace of mind as soon as possible, Wang Kun often went to chat with them. So later, they all knew that Wang Kun was a big man here, but they were still willing to sit down and chat with them, and this was still a person who was really good for them.

Later, everyone slowly became familiar with Wang Kun, especially this Uncle Liu just now, Wang Kun used to talk nonsense with him before.
