Chapter 12: The Sea, the Sea

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and there are also a thousand yearning for the ocean in the hearts of a thousand people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But this yearning is not always full of joy and hope.

The pictures we see about the sea are either seashores, sunsets, or huge ships. But no one just takes a picture of the sea.

We love the sea, either out of curiosity or because we feel mysterious. But when you actually walk into the sea, you feel absolutely lonely.

Changsun Tang and his party sailed for more than ten days before arriving in Guangzhou, this speed can not be said to be fast, the north wind is not very violent on the way, sometimes even the south wind will blow, although Changsun Tang has thought of this, these sails can sail against the wind, but this speed can not be guaranteed.

At a time when technical conditions are limited everywhere, every trip to the sea is risking one's life, and the mentality of small wealth and peace from agricultural civilization in the hearts of the Chinese is absolutely fatal to navigation.

However, the journey is basically along the coastline to the south, and even if you can't see the land occasionally, you will always see it again after a while. As long as there is land in the eyes, the hearts of the sailors are at peace.

The eldest grandson can use his experience to prepare for the material difficulties that may be encountered along the way, but he is powerless to deal with this kind of thinking.

Even the eldest grandson himself has some problems, facing the same job for a long time, such a fixed model coupled with the relative fixation of the external environment and the ship's environment, many people have such and such psychological problems. Although these eldest grandsons had already presupposed, they didn't expect it to be so serious.

In fact, Changsun Tang can think of this, just a certain time in the school library occasionally found the book "Navigation Psychology", attracted by this name Changsun Tang casually flipped through it, just roughly knew that there will be more serious psychological problems in a monotonous and relatively closed environment for a long time, as for why it appeared, how to know after it appeared, this is only known to the ghost. The eldest grandson allotted a long period of time to this book, specifically five minutes, that is, he roughly read the preface and the table of contents, and then he was frightened by the table of contents. After all, this is not a popular science book.

Nothing happened along the way, nothing happened.

This disappointed the sailors, who thought it would be nice to meet a pirate or something along the way and bring a flag. But the problem is that pirates are not all fools with one eye blindfolded, looking at such a huge Yellow Emperor and a huge fleet, as long as the IQ is higher than that of gorillas, they will know to avoid it from afar.

However, in the past few days, Changsun Tang has nothing to do, and he has been thinking about the practice of these various fish, but he has also eaten this seafood with great pleasure.

Experienced sailors knew that Nanhai County was not far ahead, and as the last supply station on the voyage, the sailors were always a little excited, and the negative emotions that had accumulated over the days seemed to have been swept away.

The fleet has entered the port, but the port conditions in the South China Sea are really limited, and it cannot accommodate a behemoth like the Yellow Emperor, which can accommodate the port under construction, which is also where Changsun Tang needs to go to inspect.

At this time, there was no one in Datang who dared to underestimate it without opening his eyes, so except for the minimum rotation personnel on each ship, all the rest got off the ship, and the place where these crew members could go was out of the gambling house, that is, the Qinglou.

This is not something that Changsun Tang can stop, and these are all reasonable and legal things in Datang, and all Changsun Tang can do is pay part of the wages to these crew members. In order to prevent these rammers from squandering all these things, the eldest grandson will withhold 20% to 60% of the salary and send it directly to the homes of these sailors, depending on the situation.

The crew could rest, but the eldest grandson couldn't. Despite this, the eldest grandson who stepped on land still felt extremely solid in his heart. Although the moment he just stepped on land, Changsun Tang's body was floating.

Guangzhou Port is not in the city of Guangzhou, but as a coastal city with an important position in shipping, the traffic between the port and the city is naturally very convenient, and a cement road to Guangzhou City has been rebuilt on the road, and it is a wide road. Although such a road cannot be compared with the county-level highway of Liange in later generations, it can definitely illustrate the vision of Guangzhou's top leader at this time.

At this time, Guangzhou was set up with the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, and the Guangzhou Governor was also a little-known guy, but the name was easy to remember. When I heard Wu Yuanqing say this name, Changsun Tang was Yile, and this name was very interesting: to face.

Under normal circumstances, it is usually a wolf in sheep's clothing, but in view of the excavation of this road, Changsun Tang still has a good impression of this Yao Dudu. This officialdom is naturally inevitable, but nothing can be discussed on this occasion, that is, it is just a familiar face.

So on the second day, Changsun Tang was ready to check the construction progress of this new port.

In fact, Changsun Tang also knows that it is still a little difficult to build a large port in Guangzhou Port, generally speaking, the estuary of the big river is not suitable for the construction of a seaport, not to mention anything else, but it is a headache to say that the annual dredging work is very headache. Naturally, his first choice was Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong. It's just that the coastline has changed a little bit at this time, and it is estimated that most of the plain areas in Shenzhen are still oceans, so I can only give up.

The construction progress of this port is very ideal, basically the appearance of the port has appeared, a large number of workers are using cement and sand to build a wharf, as a freight yard The land has also been basically finished, which is naturally hardened with cement. Although the cost will be much higher, Changsun Tang is still confident that the construction cost will be recovered in a short period of time.

It's just that Wu Yuanqing's complaints along the way made Changsun Tang a little annoyed.

It's not that the weather is like, it's that the sun here is too big and I'm tanned, although the weather has begun to get cold, but Guangzhou, which is at the southern tip of the subtropics, is still a little hot at this time.

It's just that at this time, the eldest grandson really didn't expect that the original plan was to let these sailors rest for a little longer, but these people actually poked out a big basket for him.

Because the sailors were involved in gambling, the sailors got into a fight with the local casino...... (To be continued.) )
