Chapter 1473 - Northern Route (6)
For his brother's extremely short reply, it was difficult for He Li to deduce what the other party had after receiving his telegram, but since He Xiao said yes, he agreed with He Li's opinion, and the follow-up things could be implemented separately immediately.
Even though He Lidang expressed to the officials of the Ministry of Commerce that he was willing to build a business inn in Majiazhuang, because of the itinerary, He Li was about to set off for Liaodong with the fleet, so the only way to choose a location, purchase land, hire people to start construction and other matters was to come to Fushan County to personally operate when he returned from Liaodong. But He Li still left a cronie here, and he followed up on the matter first.
Of course, this kind of operation of building a merchant inn in a different place is bound to be expensive, and the prosperity of Majiazhuang is growing day by day, He Li estimates that this plan will have to prepare three or four thousand taels of silver to carry it out. But if you can take a slight advantage in the team of carriers on the northern route, He Li thinks that the result is still cost-effective, and this environment must be the first to start, and the last to start can only drink soup. Based on the current situation of Majiazhuang, after the business store is built, it will only take a year and a half to recover the cost.
He Li hurriedly explained his work to his cronies who stayed in Shandong, and then hurriedly boarded the ship and set off. Most of the goods carried by this fleet were military supplies, and they were accompanied by military warships, so the departure time could not be determined by himself, and He Li did not dare to delay the shipping schedule because of his own personal affairs.
The voyage from Zhifu Island to Liaodong was the last leg of the voyage of the merchant fleet, and the seventy or eighty nautical miles between Zhifu Port and Port Arthur could be reached in just one day, and the merchants who could not contain their excitement came to the deck in advance, waiting for the outline of the land that would appear on the distant sea level.
But their mood obviously came a little earlier, in fact, the arrival of the fleet was already a long time after nightfall, and if it weren't for the light from the lighthouse on the sea in the distance, it would have been difficult for them to even confirm that the Liaodong Continent was ahead. By this time, most of the impatient maritime merchants had returned to their cabins, after all, the sea breeze blowing on the deck for a day was not a pleasant thing.
He Li was more restrained, he had studied the sketchy charts provided by the military in advance, and roughly calculated the voyage time, so he had been recuperating during the day, and only after dinner did he come to the deck, waiting for the end of the journey. After seeing the lighthouse light in the distance, he immediately confirmed to the escort on the ship that it was the Tiger Tail Lighthouse outside Port Arthur, and it was also the only lighthouse on the coastline of the Liaodong Continent at present.
From Zhejiang to Lushun, more than 2,000 miles on the sea, more than ten days of voyage, finally ushered in the end. He Li didn't have much excitement, because the visibility on the sea was not good at this time, except for that little bit of looming light, in fact, he couldn't see the outline of the Liaodong Continent at all, and there was only a black patch in front of him. And even if you have seen the lighthouse outside Port Arthur, it will take at least an hour or so to reach the location of the lighthouse based on the visibility at sea.
