Guo Beyu left Taiwan quietly, just as he came quietly, but his heart was overturned.

He understood two points like a mirror in his heart: the first point was that the Hantang Group was by no means a merchant group, their strength was unfathomable, and it was definitely powerful, because they were not rare enough to use big iron ships.

The second point is that the Hantang Group will never leave Zhejiang, and their "Hantang Times" has reported that it will stop at the south bank of the Yangtze River after receiving Suzhou today, and stop at the Zhejiang-Fujian border after receiving Wenzhou tomorrow.

They also started a discussion in the newspapers about the tiger disaster in eastern Zhejiang, and heard that the displaced people who had fled from Anhui to the mountains to cut wood and burn charcoal should be resettled, and what kind of wild South China tiger reserve should be built.

Strangely, how could they collectively think that it was the humans who endangered the tiger's survival, and not that the tiger harmed people? Guo Beyu really doesn't understand this.

But he could understand the arguments in the newspapers.

In the newspapers, there were calls for going north to continue the expulsion of the Tartars, and there were also articles about continuing to stabilize Jiangnan and trying to make a great cause.

He also knew that the Hantang Group was not in a hurry at all, their recruitment office was still in line, still selecting soldiers, and they actually rejected a lot of soldiers who looked strong!

Their streets are bustling with people, factories are roaring, and residential areas are calm.

Guo Beyu knew that, as they said, fighting a war was only the job of one of their departments, and I heard that the majestic Ministry of Security was actually at the same level as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Medicine, and even the Ministry of Commerce and Trade!

Well, these have nothing to do with him, but he knows the choice after returning to Hangzhou.

He directly approached Bao Wei's staff officer and asked to take over the large package of dredging the Xiqian Waterway and the West Lake.

Staff Officer Bao Wei was working on simple drawings of the whole of Hangzhou at that time.

He asked Liu Haiyang's flight team to fly a large circle over the Hangzhou city area, shoot a DV, and then make a simple plan, and this time he had an intuitive understanding of Hangzhou City.

Staff Officer Bao Wei was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Changed so quickly? No one is persecuting you, right? ”

Guo Beyu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Don't make fun of my old Guo, Xia Worm can't talk about ice, but the Hantang Group really brought the ice to me, and I have to take it!" ”

Staff Officer Bao Wei sighed: "Lao Guo, you are going to get rich." Our headquarters is reluctant to let you occupy so much manpower to dig a trench, and we can't afford to wait so long, so we specially transferred two engineering boats to help you.

Of course, this cost must be included in the project payment! ”

Guo Beyu's glasses were shiny, and he said, "Is it the kind I saw in the Chiji River?" With a big iron hand? ”

"Bigger and more professional than that, it's our first batch of products."

Staff Officer Bao Wei thought to himself, we have used it here first, and the old horse in Taizhou still has some small grievances.

There is no way, this water system is too important, it can be said to be the backbone of the northern region of Zhejiang.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty had an economic motive for opening the canal.

At that time, for a long time, the economic center of gravity on this continent has been in the Yellow River Valley, and the economy of the north is more advanced than that of the south.

But by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, society had undergone profound changes. Compared with the chaos of more than 400 years, the economy of the north has been severely impacted, and the economy of the south has developed rapidly and has become the center of gravity of the national economy.

After the Sui unified the whole country, they attached great importance to this region, but Chang'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, could not move south with the development and change of the economic center of gravity.

Therefore, the state needs to strengthen the management of the south, Chang'an needs to connect with the rich economic zone, and needs the south to supply the north, whether it is the central court, the bureaucracy and aristocracy, or the northern border. At the same time, the long-term division has blocked the economic exchanges between the north and the south of society, and with the increase in the level of productive forces, economic development has urgently required the strengthening of economic ties between the north and the south during this period.

Of course, the Sui Kai Canal also had political motives.

The period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was a period of great development of the gate valve family, and their power was quite strong.

After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, they still relied on their powerful power in an attempt to contend with the central power. This sharp contradiction persisted in the Jiangnan region, and the Sui regime was under severe threat, and it was imperative for the Sui rulers to implement effective rule over the south.

At the same time, there is also a demand for military reasons.

The minority regimes on the northern frontier were also a great problem for the Sui, who sent a large number of troops to garrison the border, but these troops were not enough to rely on tuntian, but had to rely on the supply of grain and salary from the Jianghuai and the Central Plains. The road is long, and digging a canal is the key to solving the problem.

All dynasties after the Sui Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, whether it was the regime during the period of great unification or the period of division, all paid attention to the dredging and improvement of the canal, and its motive was nothing more than economic, political, military and other aspects, and made full use of the canal. Based on the canal, the establishment of a huge and complex transportation system, which continuously transported the material resources from all over the country to the location of the capital, became one of the main means of the rulers of this continent.

Of course, the Hantang Group should also learn from the Sui Dynasty's motives, which is the real way to let history tell the future.

They carefully and in detail analyzed the role of the Grand Canal, and the first step was that they could use this water system to control the entire Taihu Lake basin and even the Yangtze River basin.

Their control is naturally divided into three aspects: economic, political, and military.

Regarding the first step of the use of this canal, Bao Wei, who was the small owner of Huzhou supermarket at that time, wrote an analysis report, which was quite detailed and affirmed by everyone except for the lack of some hydrological data along the canal.

After development, in this time and space, mastering this water system is mastering the lifeblood of this continent, and if you add the long coastline in the north, the future of the Tartars will not be bright.

But they are now short of manpower, and there is nothing they can do to look at the huge fat meat.

However, these original uncles, and now the young people, are not in a hurry at all, they are just working steadily. What a big jump, a year or two to solve the problem and other slogans will not make their heads hot at all, don't lie to us, uncle has seen everything.

First of all, they must stabilize Zhejiang's basic market.

Staff Officer Bao Wei said to Captain Hou Dongfang: "It's a pity, Zhejiang is not a place to send good soldiers. ”

Captain Hou Dongfang said: "What are you afraid of, in front of the firecracker, everyone is weak!" Let's take a good look at the development of Hangzhou first! ”

This development requires the cooperation of major regional players.

These former uncles don't believe that when they raise their arms, others will follow closely, unless they go to the partnership to grab money; They don't want the big ones to give away voluntarily.

Then they have to choose a win-win or multi-win cooperation method, one is that they have a good case, and the other is that they love the land more deeply, they believe in a better future, and do not believe in short-term benefits.

The power of example is endless.

When Guo Beyu shipped all the family's inventory from a secret place in Huzhou and shipped it all to Taiwan for trading, and then moved all the silver balls out from an even more secret place in Hangzhou, he began to recruit people on a large scale, because he took a large bag from the Hangzhou municipal government.

At the same time, Staff Officer Bao Wei also began to vigorously support him in some living materials, which were all included in the project funds anyway.

The other big families immediately understood that this Guo family had made their own choice!

Seeing that all the inventory of the Guo family was shipped smoothly, and the goods exchanged for it were suddenly sold in Hangzhou, they finally started to act.

At this time, several people in Hangzhou City Customs were exhausted, and Guo Beyu and Hou Dongfang had to lead a few subordinates to help in person.

The so-called Hangzhou Municipal Government has few people for a while, but the people don't care about it here, what to do.

If you don't look at the customs tax bill, you don't know that these big families will have so many private goods!

This is really a group of ethnic businessmen who are experienced in dealing with robberies.

When the peak period of customs export passed, the gang took a breather, but they knew that it was only temporary, because they would soon have a high tide of imports.

Staff Officer Bao Wei and Guo Beyu visited the dredging work on the edge of the Xiqian Waterway.

Two medium and large grab dredgers from the Hantang Group have arrived, and they are now working from south to north.

The two engineering boats are dual-purpose sails, but the sails can be lowered and dismantled without affecting the work of the grab.

The way it works is deceptively simple.

The boom and steel cable of the rotary dredger are used to hang the mud bucket, and the weight of the grab bucket itself is put into the river bottom to grab the soil.

Then start the bucket rope winch, the bucket rope is through the pulley at the top of the guò boom, close the grab, rise, and then turn the dredger to the special supporting mud barge to unload the mud.

Finally, the dredger is transferred back to the excavation site to dredge, and so on.

There are also dense laborers on the river, who have to open the working face of the grab dredger so that it can be easily operated.

Guo Beyu said: "With this artifact, it will not take three months, and it will be able to be dredged - my old Guo Ke has taken a big advantage from the Hantang Group!" Even if you spend a lot of money to buy horse bones, I'm afraid it's not very good—"

Bao Wei said in his heart, let's be a sample, if you get cheap and sell well, you will have to pay!

He said: "Lao Guo, Hantang Group will always abide by the contract signed by itself, there is my signature on it, I am responsible for it to the end, no one can shirk responsibility!"

You can charge a fee on this waterway, but if you build a container transfer terminal at the outlet of the Qiantang River at that waterway, you can charge more.

The port department gave me a new construction, and in the future, from this waterway all the way to the Yangtze River area, I can vigorously develop flat-bottomed barge transportation-"

"Flat-bottomed barge transport? Could it be the kind of long boat ride I saw in the Chichika and estuary areas? Like your buses? ”

"Haha, the two places are small, you didn't go to Taipei to see, the coal ship on the Tamsui River is almost out of sight, and it directly uses a large steam engine to tug the boat!"

Guo Beyu was really speechless this time, he looked at this waterway, as if he had seen a long trip of identical boats, all of which were full of big-headed boxes, which were uniformly loaded with all kinds of goods, and they had been following this waterway into the West Lake, into the Grand Canal, into the Taihu Lake, and into the Yangtze River -- but the kind of quiet and quiet on the West Lake, I'm afraid there is no longer it, it's all the kind of rumbling machine, right?

He couldn't help but sigh.

Staff Officer Bao Wei asked curiously, "Why is there not enough funds?" Hantang Bank can take out a loan-"

Guo Beyu secretly glanced at him, why do you always persuade people to take out loans? I look down on my Guo family too much.

"I thought, what if that's the case, and some sailing ships still don't let you pass guò?"

"Of course! But their sails need to be able to be down. ”

"Of course you can."

Guo Beyu knew that there were many riverboats on the canal whose sails could be lowered.

"Some inconspicuous bulk cargo still needs to be transported by them, and they can't rely on my Hantang Group for everything."
