Chapter 712: Shandong Rizhao

After more than three months, a total of 10 million loans have been made, the number of fishing boats of various types has exceeded 3,000, and the number of fishermen has reached 47,000 www.biquge.info. ¢£,

But this is only the beginning, relying on Fujian Province alone, can not support China's huge naval plan in the future, and then, according to Fujian's experience, after absorbing and summarizing, five regions were found nationwide for promotion, namely Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong.

They are the most important coastline along China's coast, almost starting from the Bohai Bay and extending to the South China Sea, among them, the focus is on the development of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, as for the South China Sea, it is not that Yang Yuanzhao does not develop, because the South China Sea is too sensitive, the Indochina Peninsula belongs to the sphere of influence of the French, Southeast Asia is under the control of Britain and the United States, a large number of sailing ships into the South China Sea, it is easy to arouse the ideas of the great powers, in case they discover the actions of the northwest in Southeast Asia, it will be a big trouble.

Five provinces, each province has a large number of seaports, the number of fishermen is also numerous, in the northwest bank side, the focus is also different, there is a certain tradition, it is easier to carry out is Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are economically developed provinces, Zhejiang Jiangsu's tea, silk, textile industry, in China is extremely famous, is second only to the northwest of the large exporters, not only the rich many, some rely on the work to earn money fishermen are also a lot, they are more than the fishermen in Fujian, the ability to accept a little stronger, the difficulty of promotion is a little less.

But there are also big problems there. Fishermen have a wide range of roads, so they don't necessarily have to fish. Fishing is hard work under any circumstances. In the absence of a significant increase in salary, it is better to work in a factory to be more stable.

This situation has affected the popularity of fishing boats, they are not as good as Fujian, the three provinces still contributed 22 million loans and about 7,000 fishing boats, the number of fishermen has reached 100,000 people, and it can be regarded as basically achieving Yang Yuanzhao's goal, as long as it is steady and steady for a few years, with the earning effect of trawl fishing boats, it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This number will maintain a relatively high growth line.

Compared with the previous four provinces, Anhui and Shandong are slightly worse, their economy is underdeveloped, and they are not the key areas to go out to work, but among the six provinces, Yang Yuanzhao values the most, which is located in the northernmost part of the province and the last province that the Northwest Bank enters, Shandong, where there is no naval tradition. Yang Yuanzhao had great confidence in it, and for a long time, the most important naval base of the Chinese Navy was Qingdao, which included China's largest military shipyard and large shipyard. There are only 5 docks of more than 50,000 tons, and the total tonnage definitely exceeds 1.5 million tons, and the local sailors in Qingdao. It is more conducive to the sailors to maintain stability.

The Navy is always lonely and boring, performing tasks down. It can take dozens of days, or even months, at sea. After returning to the port, the time to rest may be quite limited, in this case, the local sailors can go home nearby and enjoy the warmth of home, in any case, it is much better than thousands of miles away from home, even thousands of miles. In this case, we must make Shandong the area with the highest concentration of Chinese naval personnel outside of Fujian, or even surpass Fujian, which is the best choice.

The work in Shandong has done a lot, and even because of the relationship between Germany and Shandong, whether it is the revolutionary party or Beiyang, the political foundation in Shandong is not high, and the local government is only nominally subordinate to the leadership of the central government, but it refers to the above, the northwest has infiltrated a lot here, and in addition to those railway hub cities, some seaport cities have been added in later generations, such as Rizhao, Yantai, Longkou and other places, which are still just a small fishing villages, and have become famous deep-water ports in later generations. These are the key points of the focus.

Rizhao, Shandong, China, this is just a county place, close to the sea, but not particularly rich, the Qing Dynasty time, when the sea was transporting grain, there was still some vitality, but now it is just an ordinary seaside city in China, not even a seaport.

In 1912, the northwest trading houses entered Rizhao, and then gradually penetrated, which was regarded as taking a part of the real power, and the county magistrate sent out by Beiyang, because the Germans were not in Rizhao at all, but hid in the provincial capital Jinan, and most of the things in Rizhao were basically controlled by the northwest.

Zhang Baotang is an old fisherman, has always begged for a living on this sea, because of poverty, he only has a broken wooden boat, even a small wind and waves can not resist, of course, can not withstand the wind and waves, every time he goes to sea, he is holding the idea of not coming back, in order to eat three meals a day, like the fishermen in the near sea, most of them rely on the sky to eat, maybe that day, the boat overturned and died, and they can't come back, but today, the old men in the county, solemnly came to the fishing village, and posted a notice.

"Fish, what's the notice about?" Zhang Baotang is illiterate, called his 12-year-old nephew, and now his menstruation, since it is different, life is still so hard, but there is hope, at least, the landlords and officials dare not bully casually, the children are going to school, it is a school established in the northwest, and the school-age children are enrolled for free. Knowledge, culture, can change fate, Yu'er is his nephew, since the age of 9 began to go to school, in the school for three years, can read and write, can read newspapers.

"Fourth grandfather, good thing, the government issued regulations that each family can take out a loan to buy a fishing boat, the loan amount of each family is 400 yuan, you can buy a 50-ton small trawler, the best plan is to buy 5 families together, you can also 20, or even 50 families, together together, to buy a distant-water fishing boat, the largest distant-water fishing boat has 2,500 tons."

Yu'er's crisp voice quickly told Zhang Baotang about the things on the notice, I thought that the officials posted the notice, and what kind of apportionment was it for, but I didn't expect it to be this.

Trawlers, Zhang Baotang knows this, there are fishing companies in Shandong, a fishing boat, at least equivalent to the seafood caught by thousands of small boats, a large net down, can even use a special instrument (simple sonar) to judge the location of the fish, to achieve the purpose of increasing production.

Fishery company, the smallest is a 500-ton fishing boat, distant-water fishing boat, at least a large ship of more than 2,500 tons, need more than 80 sailors, Zhang Baotang is very clear, this distant-water fishing vessel, is the real direction, offshore, there are not many fishery resources, the ocean is the direction, in the real distant-water fishing grounds, there can be enough harvest.

Although Zhang Baotang is just a fisherman, when he was young, he went down to the South Seas, got on the German ship, and even followed the ship to the United States and Germany, it was on these ships that he heard of a kind of whaling ship of the great powers, which was specifically for whales in the deep sea, a whale weighed thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties, that is the real treasure, one down, enough for a factory to start.

Whaling is a bit far, but this trawler is very good, he has encountered it when he is fishing, not to mention running fast, and the net goes down, and the harvest is much bigger than his. But he is now poor jingling, how can he afford it, saying that it is a loan, such a large amount of 400, for most poor fishermen, this is an unimaginable fund, and the most important thing is that they are afraid that if it is a means for the government to make money, the family that has just stabilized dìng has hope, and the family will not be ruined.

Seeing Zhang Baotang hesitating, the fish was like a little adult, and said to Zhang Baotang seriously: "Fourth grandfather, don't be afraid, it's okay, here, the guarantee is from the northwest!" ”

Northwest, the simple two, but attracted Zhang Baotang's attention, Zhang Baotang said with a slight tremble: "Is it really Northwest." ”

In Fujian, the reputation of the northwest is not strong, but in Shandong, the momentum of the northwest, in so many years, has completely affected Shandong, Shandong as a German sphere of influence, is also one of the first areas in the northwest to penetrate, a large number of schools have been established, free reading, and even free meals, isn't this free to help raise children, in just 3 years, there are people who graduated from school, entered a special factory, as an apprentice, learned technology, and even got a salary, dozens of Guangyang a month, This is what the fishermen have not been able to think about for generations, and they want to jump out of this dragon gate, but this real dragon gate, do they jump out, their ancestors have been here for generations, and it has not changed until the emergence of the northwest.

A stout fisherman man said loudly: "Just rush to the northwest, I did it, it's not 400, damn it, it should be dead, if you are fooled, you will be fooled." ”

He is the person in charge of the Northwest Bank, because the Northwest Bank started from Fujian, and the main force is Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and finally Anhui and Shandong, but I didn't expect to encounter a surprise in Shandong.

The procedures are ready-made, even the boats, are already ready, next to the Rizhao Port, in the urgently built fishery wharf, there are more than 70 boats, the big is about 500 tons, the small is the most basic 50 tons, these days, the Jiangnan shipyard is full power, produced a large number of ships, divided into two directions, to the south, one to the north, constantly filled into the fishing villages along the coast of China.

Zhang Baotang is a signature, with the help of Yu'er, wrote the name on behalf of the ghost, pressed the acupressure, and a loan agreement was signed, but he did not get the boat directly, because it is generally 5 families to share a 50-ton fishing boat, as for the remaining larger, more people are needed, and he needs to find 5 people who are also interested in order to finally get the fishing boat.
