Chapter 146: We Are the Geranza Customs
Before the merchant ships docked, Pan Fenggongzi's mouth couldn't close - not for the dozen or so merchant ships moored on the dock, which was far less lively than the Pearl River wharf - he was surprised by the huge wharf and the legendary big iron ship.
Oh my God, such a long sea pier? It can be two miles long, right?
Actually, no, it's only 900 meters.
The cement output of the Red Star Cement Plant has accelerated the construction of the terminal, but according to the design of the Traverser plan, it should be enough to complete the loading and unloading tasks of 1,000 tons per day. It may be a bit wasteful to go over this scale - the space for the construction of the second and third phases can easily be left behind. However, after calculation, the berthing capacity is not enough, and the Zichuan is okay, but it is inconvenient for the Zishui to dock and the cargo to be dropped.
So the traversers had to increase their size - and there they are now.
One of the results of the increase in size was that the wharves were somewhat depressed - a dozen merchant ships were separated from each other. And it also makes the six tall landing boom towers of the block seem a little lonely.
The steam engine runner under that tower hasn't been running yet...... Because until now, no goods have appeared that have used it......
The boom of the crane, the traversers are not willing to use steel pipes, but a large number of hardwood poles, they do not believe that in this era, there are more than ten tons of single goods, according to their tests, the triangular structure plus beams can deal with less than 20 tons of single goods. It's really stingy.
In this case, the huge size of the Purple Water is still very conspicuous.
The eyes of many bright people on the merchant ship were round, and no one spoke for a while. The sailors on the ship didn't care, they had seen it, they were busy leaning on the dock and lowering the sails, and their faces were disapproving. A big iron ship is a big iron ship, what's wrong?
Zhou Fu stroked his mustache proudly, waiting for Pan Gongzi's question.
"This, this—"
Pan Gongzi pointed at the Zishui with the fan in his hand and was speechless.
"It's called the Purple Water, a passenger and cargo transport ship, which uses diesel generators to generate electricity, and then pushes the propeller - it can load thousands of tons of cargo, and it travels like a sea breeze!"
Zhou Fu memorized these introductions like a stream, as if the ship was his, as if he really understood.
Pan Gongzi was so anxious that he couldn't speak, this answer is the same as no answer, wow, I don't understand it! Pan Gongzi kept tapping the palm of his left hand with a fan, just thinking about where to start first.
At this time, a loud sound suddenly came from the dock.
There is a high pole at a distance on the pier trestle, and between each pole there are two white ropes (?). Together, some of the high poles don't know what else is hanging on them, like funnels and flowers.
Suddenly, it seemed that a loud voice came from the thing:
"This is the Geranza Pier, we are the Geranza Customs, and we welcome merchants from all walks of life to conduct their business - please note the following: first, each ship can only send one or two people off the ship, and the rest will stay on the ship until notice; The second point ,——; The third point,"
This passage was said in Hokkien, Cantonese, and Hakka dialects in turn, in fact, the traversers were redundant, and the people who ran the sea all the year round were basically familiar with the local dialects - but saying it a few more times was also conducive to the understanding of the Ming people - most of them listened in a daze.
Pan Gongzi's attention was diverted, and he pointed at the thing on the high pole with a fan: "This, why is this object so loud?" ”
"Haha, Mr. Pan, this thing is not unusual, it's just 'cable broadcasting'! They used it to comment on books...... I'll go down to 'declare' first-" This customs declaration term he learned just now after listening to the radio, but it sounds as if he knew it for a long time.
He was really not afraid of anything now, because he saw the electric man Gao Degao on the dock.
It turned out that the electrician Gao De never thought that he would be able to have a relationship with the customs student in his life-
At that time, when Manager Meroz decided to set up the customs department of Geranza, several middle-level leaders met, and everyone agreed that the combination of Ma Dehua and Gao De would be perfect. Judging from the file of technician Ma Dehua, he had the experience of customs declaration. That's a good fit. And the electrician Gao De, judging from his usual appearance, is good at dealing with the Ming people.
More importantly, everyone thinks that the two of them will definitely get along......
At first, Gao De was taken aback by this decision, and he found Ma Dehua and said, "Old Ma, did you say they made a mistake?" I'm an electrician, it's okay to tinker with electrical equipment, they let me go to customs? I don't know a foreign language, I don't know accounting, I don't have a background – did you think they were mistaken? ”
Ma Dehua did have the experience of serving as a customs broker before the crossing, and for a person who graduated with a mechanical major, it was a special experience in the lowest period of his life.
After Ma Dehua patiently listened to Gao De's complaints, he said softly: "Lao Gao, now you listen to me, don't say a word, just listen to me, if you speak, you won't be able to keep your mouth shut, everyone knows this, don't believe you to ask others, everyone said so, really, I don't lie to you-"
After Gao De listened, he suddenly felt that his words were still very refined, and he suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, but now he had to listen to Ma Dehua first.
Ma Dehua said softly: "This customs, that's the same thing, to put it simply, you are easy to understand - or you will be confused - now we have the right to set up a card at the entrance of the village, those who want to come in to sell goods will be handed over to us first, and those who want to go out to sell goods will also be handed over to us money, which has nothing to do with foreign languages, accounting or anything - all kinds of goods tax bills and property companies have been listed for us, we will collect money according to the form at that time, let's use a calculator to calculate, you will always use the calculator, right?" - I'll show you the form in a moment, and you can understand at a glance that we charge a low tax for everything we want, and a high tax for everything we don't want. But this is just the beginning, and we have to take everything that the merchants bring—"
Gao De took a breath, thought for a while and said, "It's all our group that accepts the goods, how can we still collect the group's taxes?" Isn't this self-inflicted flesh and blood? Your own people take your own people's money? Isn't this scientific? ”
"You see that you are so verbose when you speak, you just ask the three words 'why' - this is called the integrated n system, internal circulation - there are too many benefits, I will say the same: all benefits are ours, and the accounts are clear, the responsibilities and rights are clear, and the common **, if you say it wrong, you just remember that whatever benefits are ours - you have to embark on the road of regularization in the future - you can't mess around."
The group assigned them eleven security team members, all of whom were of course Ming people's security. They were also given a few Ming workers, who were actually miscellaneous workers - in this way, this Geranja Customs was officially established. As if they knew that they were not familiar with their business, there were few merchant ships and a single cargo at the beginning. As they became more proficient, there were more and more merchant ships.
Their office is located in a log cabin where the catch tax was collected. The original tax collectors here built a new office in the dock market and integrated it with the market administration.
When Geranza received a report on the situation of Ji Fan O, he immediately dispatched eleven security team members who had been maintaining mobility all the time, and urgently summoned eleven Ming security team members who had been maintaining order in the market. At the same time, the Zishui was notified of the second-level armament, that is, the basic personnel to the combat post. The militia organization in the city of Geranza is temporarily armed with three levels, that is, it knows that there is such a thing, and when the alarm sounds, it can be at the battle post at any time. Now, what work to do, and what to do.
Thus, after a long time of preparation at the Pier of Geranza, the three merchant ships finally arrived at the Pier of Geranza.
Gao De was now leading eleven security guards waiting there.
Strange to say, since Ma Dehua and Gao De moved to the same office, almost all the members of the group have been amazed by the pair's shooting, and their office is rarely visited. Even when a traverser had to go to their office to run errands, he was quick to say it and left.
Both Ma and Gao De thought that the other party was too verbose—and so did the Ming security guards, especially after they gradually understood Mandarin—and when Ma Hua and Gao De chatted, the Ming security team members grinned when they listened.
The only good thing is that the Ming merchants feel very good, these two people have no shelf, treat people kindly, ask long and short questions, are very good to communicate, and are particularly meticulous, even if they don't understand a little, both of them are vying to explain to the Ming businessmen, you a sentence, I a sentence, so that the Ming people and merchants can listen quite clearly. At this time, if you select pacesetters such as window lines, their customs department, which is absolutely the first, will definitely be better than the traditional Chinese medicine hospital that is very popular in the Chichi agricultural area...... This may be a case of how the traversers will use talents, right?
Now Gao De stood alone in front with his chest straight, and there were two rows of Ming security guards standing behind him, of course, there was still some distance from him.
In the shed some distance behind the Ming security guards, eleven traversers silently watched the three Ming merchant ships, holding AK47s in their hands, but for some reason they did not get on the bayonets.
A little farther away, in the captain's room of the Purple Water, Wu Jianqiang, the captain of the security team, was holding a telescope and observing the Ming people on the three boats.
"It's nothing...... At first glance, it looks like a ...... who works hard."
Captain Fang Ming said, "How can you see that? ”
"The people who work hard, their faces are dumbfounded, I've seen too many ......"
On the No. 1 gun position of the Zishui, the gunner also held a telescope to observe, and he still kept shouting in his heart, fire! Gunner Wang Chi said lightly: "At this time, I don't want to shoot at them, it's better to be fine, but I hope that there will be a longer time of peace with the Ming people, and a little longer......
The artillery commander didn't even look back and said, "You, you're your little worry again." Give me another piece of dried pears from your pocket......"
Foodie! Wang Chi rolled his eyes and threw him a piece. The gun commander quickly turned around to catch it.
Zhou Fu and the captain got off the boat, walked briskly in small steps, and soon arrived in front of Gao De.
Gao De saw that it was Zhou Fu, and a sincere smile suddenly appeared on his face. Hurriedly invited two people into the office.
The two platoons of security guards were temporarily left at the docks.
When the Akito security team saw the Akito on the ship looking at them timidly, they stood in a more standard military posture, and the bayonets on the guns were even more shiny.
Thank you for the support of friends such as yezhongye, Meilezhi, drunk and not messy, and Brother Daxue.
We can't find anything in this world that is completely useless.
