Chapter 235: The Magical Iron Cabinet
At noon, Lu Jianmin, the director of the warehouse, led 35 large trailers to arrive.
Two young custodians saw the old containers of various colors on the large trailer, only to find that all the goods and containers delivered yesterday were gone.
Lu Jianmin explained the unloading area of the two crane drivers, walked quickly to the freight platform, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Zhu Daolin: "Today's batch of a total of 87 containers, of which 80 boxes are filled with rice, a total of 2,150 tons, and the remaining 7 boxes are loaded with a total of 250 tons of coarse salt, as well as 3,270 tons of rice and 2,000 tons of flour, and there is no way to pick up the goods, so I can only wait for next week to be transported back to the warehouse in batches for storage......
"There is no way to buy suitable scrapped containers locally, unless you go to Shanghai to buy them, where there are many ports and shipping is busy, and scrapped containers are indispensable...... But the shipping fee can't be paid! ”
Zhu Daolin weighed for a moment: "Do you think this will work...... By selling us a few units of containers, privately spending some money to give a red envelope or something, and asking them to buy scrapped containers for us, I guess they are very happy! ”
"We can't help it, we don't know anything clearly, but the transfer between their own systems is very simple, and we don't even need to spend a penny on freight, and when we get the container, you can do the same as in the past two days, hire their convoy to slowly transport the remaining grain and flour back, and I will come back in ten days at most."
"Wait a while, you can calculate how much reserve money is left, I will go out in the afternoon to make up the quota of 20 million for you, and there are still many materials you need to buy in the next two months......"
"In addition, as long as you can solve the difficulties with money, don't save money for me, how convenient to do, business expenses within 100,000 yuan do not need to ask me for instructions, you should invite people to dinner. Give a gift. ”
"Got it, I'll take care of it! I'll go and see the crane unloading and try to arrange it neatly, otherwise there won't be enough space. Lu Jianmin grinned and turned to get busy.
In the evening, two young custodians dragged heavy steps and rode away on motorcycles, Lu Jianmin, who was exhausted from a busy day. After feeding eight dogs with Zhu Daolin, he also drove back home to rest under the persuasion of Zhu Daolin, the big boss.
Zhu Daolin, who stayed to be "on duty", saw that everyone was gone, walked around and closed the big iron door of the warehouse, and then returned to the warehouse to count the variety and quantity of goods brought back this time.
Because there were too many goods to be brought this time, the volume of 139 containers was too large, and there were still 97 in the warehouse on the Shangyuan wharf, and there were no more vacancies to accommodate them, Zhu Daolin had to plan in advance. Proper arrangement.
The sky is slightly bright, and the civil wharf of Shangyuan Port in Chongzhen's five years is still busy.
Beginning at noon the day before yesterday, all the officers and men of the Shangyuan Qianhu Office stopped training, and under the command of the chief staff and the two chief managers, Zhao Xunting and Feng Shengtai, they assembled four warships and four cargo ships, and carried 500 fully armed naval recruits, as well as the head of the workshop temporarily transferred by Hushan Manor to resettle the disaster victims, and crossed the wide river. Moored to the waters of Pukou Wharf on the north shore.
500 recruits boarded the North Shore Ferry Terminal and quickly opened up a warning area within a radius of 100 meters. Began to carefully screen the victims who were crying incessantly on the shore, and gave priority to sending the victims with families and single young people to different boats, and sent them to the Shangyuan Wharf on the south shore one by one, and then the experienced Ziyang Guards led them to the predetermined location for temporary resettlement.
Ye Liangchen and Feng Shengtai, who came to the dock before dawn to inspect, stood side by side, facing the victims who were constantly disembarking from the boat, and discussed in a low voice. Before the two could talk about a result, they suddenly saw Zhu Daolin appear in front of their eyes, they were very surprised, Feng Shengtai looked around and didn't find any guards following, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "My lord." When did you come back? ”
"I got home late last night, and it was too late to bother everyone...... By the way, how many people have been accepted in the past two days? Zhu Daolin asked.
"About 48,000 people, of which 17,000 are placed in the shooting range north of the naval barracks, and it is estimated that three to five thousand able-bodied young men can be selected at noon today...... All the arrangements for the tow family and the mouth are arranged at the foot of the east mountain of the new racecourse, which is managed by Ziyangguan, and it is estimated that there will be one day to recover after eating and drinking, and then go to the first section of the road to start repairing the road. Feng Shengtai reported in detail.
Zhu Daolin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "In addition to our territory, is there a large number of victims in the upper and lower river sections and outside Jinling City?" ”
Feng Shengtai was resentful of the shameless behavior of the government, and sighed and didn't want to say a word.
Ye Liangchen smiled slightly: "It's the same as we guessed in advance...... From all over Jiangbei to the three counties in the upper and lower reaches of Jinling, some people spread rumors among the victims, and even made up such a slip: 'If you want to live and eat, you can only rush to Ziyangguan, and you can't finish the gold and silver mountains', causing the victims from all directions to roll in. ”
"If it weren't for our preparations, the pro-guard team and the escort team were all on standby, and the Xuanqing Daoist sent out 3,000 farmers in time to build a porridge shed outside the two entrances to the south, I'm afraid that Ziyangguan and our Hushan Manor would have been overcrowded."
Zhu Daolin smiled bitterly: "Did Wang Daozhi send the title deed?" ”
"I sent it, you sent it the next day after you left, but it's ridiculous, I don't know which officialdom had the outstanding bad idea to include Xiaobeishan in the west of Longtan into the title deed, haha!" Ye Liangchen teased with a smile.
"Oh!?"
Zhu Daolin was a little strange: "Isn't this a good thing?" I don't know who has said that Xiaobeishan is a treasure land of beautiful feng shui, and we are just building a residential community of senior executives and craftsmen. ”
"You really don't know?" Ye Liangchen was surprised.
Zhu Daolin was confused: "What do you know?" Is there something strange about this? ”
Ye Liangchen found that Zhu Daolin really didn't know the inside story, and couldn't help sighing: "There are no people around Xiaobei Mountain for several miles, there is a monk temple on the mountain, there are many ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty under the mountain, several monks practice there, I heard that it is often haunted, and many people have died on the river bay in front." ”
Only then did Zhu Daolin understand: "It turns out that someone wants us Taoists and Buddhists to fight...... In that case, then fulfill their wishes, huh! ”
Ye Liangchen and Feng Shengtai were stunned when they heard this.
Zhu Daolin didn't explain, and pointed to the gate of the warehouse in the depths of the north: "Did you see those dozen flatbed cars?" Dading led the three teams of nearly 100 brothers, who were moving large iron boxes out and transporting them to the east of the racecourse, each large iron box could accommodate at least 15 people, and it was okay to be windy and rainy, but this weather was a little hot. ”
Ye Liangchen and Feng Shengtai were shocked after seeing it clearly, and couldn't help but pull Zhu Daolin over together, and halfway through, they heard a copper whistle and Yang Dading's loud voice coming from the gate of the warehouse.
Hundreds of dock workers and officers and soldiers of the naval division who were watching formed a large circle and were unwilling to retreat, shouting and screaming one by one, exclaiming continuously, some said it was an iron house, some said it was an iron cabinet, and some said that it was at least tens of thousands of catties.
Zhu Daolin was worried that someone would take the opportunity to sneak into the warehouse, so he unceremoniously separated the crowd and entered the circle, and ordered loudly with a sinking face: "The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division obey the order: return to their respective posts immediately!" ”
More than 100 officers and men were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and quickly returned to their sentry posts and barracks, but none of them dared to stay and watch the excitement, and hundreds of dock workers also closed their mouths and returned to the civilian wharf in the south.
Ye Liangchen and Feng Shengtai walked to the container on the shelf, looked and touched, and were amazed, praising the square old container, and said loudly that this kind of workmanship can definitely be done by top craftsmen.
Feng Shengtai was amazed, and quickly calculated the material thickness and approximate weight of the container in his mind, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again, shouting that it was too wasteful and too loser.
Zhu Daolin smiled and asked: "Two, although this big iron box is heavier, as long as you set up two simple tripods and hang two chain hoists, it is still easy to hang it on a flat carriage and pull it away. ”
"This iron box also has a greater beauty, that is, it is used to quickly build a wharf, as long as two rows of iron piles are laid, dozens of such large iron boxes are neatly sunk into the water through the iron stakes, and then the stones and soil are filled in and tamped, and the concrete mixed with cement and sand and gravel is poured on it, which is a solid wharf."
Ye Liangchen and Feng Shengtai nodded again and again, but in the end, they still felt that it was too wasteful and too loser.
