Chapter Ninety-Four: It's Time to Jinshan City
Jinshan City has arrived.
Liu Yifeng and the others are passing through the entrance of Jinshan Bay, the entrance does not look very wide, but in fact, the Jinshan Bay inside is more than ten or twenty times larger than Jinshan City, which is one of the best deep-water harbors in the world.
"Liu Yifeng, what are you looking at?"
Zheng Zhilong was very strange, when everyone was looking at Jinshan City on the right side of the ship, only Liu Yifeng looked up at the sky.
"I'm looking at the bridge."
"Bridge?" Zheng Zhilong turned his head from side to side, but he didn't see any bridge.
"Yes, a red bridge."
"Where?"
"Right here, from the South Shore to the North Shore."
Zheng Zhilong's eyes were as wide as the fish on the shore: "Did you eat the wrong thing?" 3,4 miles from the north bank to the south bank, you told me there was a bridge? The gods can't fix it when they come. ”
Liu Yifeng smiled and said, "What is the bridge in 3 and 4?" There will be bridges for nearly 100 miles in the future. ”
(Ming Dynasty 1 li is about 500-600 meters.) )
"Someone, Liu Yifeng ate the wrong thing! I said that the fish I caught yesterday was poisonous, and my eyes exploded when I caught it, so you have to eat it! ”
Liu Yifeng reluctantly pushed him away, saying that he was fine.
The fish I caught yesterday was absolutely fine, and the eyeballs exploded because it was a deep-sea fish, and I was used to the high pressure of the deep sea and suddenly came to the sea with different pressures to burst my eyes.
After sending Zheng Zhilong away, he sighed and said to himself: "If the Golden Gate Bridge still exists, it is estimated that it was not built by Americans." ”
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked forward to it, and looked forward to the future one day, after the industrialization of China, the Han people's own Golden Gate Bridge will be built here. But the premise of all this is that the Han people kept Dongshan Prefecture and let Dongshan Prefecture be included in the system of China since ancient times.
After passing the entrance to Jinshan Bay, the boat turned right and headed south, where the harbor of Jinshan City was located.
After Liu Yifeng came to this Ming Dynasty, he didn't see a few Ming Dynasty cities, and he saw a lot of seaports: Jinzhou Port, which he guessed was Sasebo's South Fuso Black Tooth Port, Tokyo Port, Liugui Port, Jishan Port, and Fushan Port.
These ports are not the small harbors created by the film and television dramas in his impression of later generations. Instead, it's all planned at the beginning of the design. The layout of the entry and exit channels, anchorages and harbor basins in the water area is neat and clear, and the land part is complete for cargo loading and unloading, storage and transshipment.
Although there are not many industrial machines in later generations, they also fully reflect the highest productivity of this era.
But it doesn't include the port of Jinshan in front of him.
"Jinshan Port is like this." Shopkeeper Wang saw the stunned expression on Liu Yifeng's face, and knew that he was shocked by the simplicity and chaos of Jinshan Port, and explained: "After all, Jinshan Port was only repaired last year, and there was no plan when it was repaired. ”
What about the port of Zhushan and the port of Zhushan? Why are people's ports neatly organized?
As if guessing what Liu Yifeng was thinking, Shopkeeper Wang continued: "But since Jinshan City has been established, I think sooner or later Jinshan Port will also be rebuilt." In fact, the same was true of the port of Zhushan and the port of Yushan, how could they have the ability to plan a port area when they first landed. ”
Shopkeeper Wang's words were very reasonable, Liu Yifeng was speechless, he could only look at the chaos on the shore and ask: "Then when can we probably step on the shore?" ”
"Tomorrow." After saying this, the shopkeeper Wang left, leaving Liu Yifeng messy in the sea breeze.
They all arrived at the bay outside the port, and they had to spend a day on the ship before they could get off the ship, which surprised everyone, including Zheng Zhilong.
Feng Shuo's lower body was itchy again, and he wanted to find a Fusang slave girl or a Dongyi slave girl to help him relieve it, so he found the captain and hoped to borrow a lifeboat to go ashore first. But when Liu Yifeng saw him come back with a stinky face, he knew that he must have been rejected.
"Well, the captain not only disagreed, but also said that there are no green buildings in Jinshan City."
There are no green buildings in Jinshan City?
Liu Yifeng turned his head to look at the shore in the distance, the lights were bright, and the crowds were surging, he thought that the nightlife of Jinshan City was richer than that of Jinshan City. As a result, one of the most standard nightlife items of this era: visiting Qinglou is not available at all in Jinshan City.
Why, there are so many trading houses and explorers in Jinshan City, especially the latter, who often have a little money, attach importance to enjoyment, and open a green house to make a lot of money.
"Because all the shops in Jinshan City must buy land before they can apply to open stores. The few trading houses in the women's business in Jinshan City didn't expect this at all, and when they went south to open up the market, Jinshan City couldn't even get the land of a thatched house. ”
After stopping the explanation of the shopkeeper Wang, Liu Yifeng was completely speechless.
This Dongshan Prefecture is determined to take the road of land finance.
"Then why not expand?"
It can be seen from the crowded flow of people between the lights that Jinshan City is overloaded.
"Who knows." Shopkeeper Wang also frowned and said, "Most of the people who came this year have been sent to Jinshan City. The people were all sent inland to mine, but those trading houses bought land in Jinshan City and built branches, and the city was already crowded. ”
"Before I returned to China last year, I heard from well-informed people that Jinshan City would be expanded at the beginning of this year, but now it's almost the end of the year, and I haven't broken ground yet."
The reason why the ground was not broken was naturally that Hao Ping, the previous manager of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, was brought back, and the remaining officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau had no right to expand Jinshan City. And the newcomer Song Yingxing clearly understood what his teacher meant, and didn't care about Jinshan City, everything was as usual.
"Now the city is so crowded that many people are sleeping on the streets, and I don't know why the Maritime Administration just refuses to expand."
In the end, Shopkeeper Wang was relieved, Liu Yifeng, at least they could sleep on the boat today, and the topic ended.
At noon the next day, Liu Yifeng's feet had just set foot on the land of Jinshan City, but by the time they walked out of the port, it was already an hour later, and the reason was Feng Shuo's war horse.
The crowded and narrow port made it difficult for Feng Shuo's horses to move an inch, and those who were on foot would cut in front of Feng Shuo almost when they had the chance, and the war horses were also snorted again and again by the sound of people coming and going, and they became more and more irritable.
There was no way, Liu Yifeng could only leave half of the people to guard the horses and supplies, and he took the others into the city first, at least to find a place to stay so that they would not sleep on the street.
"Get out!"
Ao Bai yelled at a Jurchen child who was about the same age as him, and then returned the money bag that had been touched to Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong was shocked, he had been in countless ports, and he knew very well that those places were full of pickpockets, and the money bag had long been hidden by him, and he didn't expect it to be touched by someone like this.
Liu Yifeng looked at Aobai who joined the team and didn't say anything, he knew that Aobai was protecting the Jurchen child.
When Ao Bai was in the Northeast, it is estimated that he also survived by stealing chickens and touching dogs, otherwise he would not have seen at a glance that the child who passed by took Zheng Zhilong's money bag. He also knew that they were Jurchens, and even if the Han people were not their masters, they would not be responsible for beating them in the street.
Besides, that child did steal something, as long as he didn't kill him and left his life to the government, the unspoken rule was that the Han people were the main ones.
"Master."
Ao Bai was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't know if he had seen through the child he had just let go.
Liu Yifeng didn't poke him either, and said: "The 5 inns in front of you, let's see if there are any rooms." ”
