Chapter 201:

The sailor ’s station was at a pier, which was picked by Xue Tingyan before.
Near the sea, leaning on the port, you can park boats, which is very convenient.
The station has just started repairing, even though Xue Tingyan has recruited a lot of labor and hurriedly rushed every day, but just laid the foundation, it will take at least two months to build all the people and live in.
That is to say, Xue Tingyan took Gou Datong with several generals of the navy to see, but it was just an empty lot and some rotten bricks.
The laborers in the station were already busy, and while working under the sweat, they saw Master Xue leading some people in armor, and they looked at them curiously.
Xue Tingyan took Gou Datong with them throughout the entire station, from the naval yard gate to the place where the soldiers lived, to the drill field and the place to repair the warships, to the hidden port behind the station.
This port has a peculiar terrain. Xue Tingyan walked on a reef and pointed at the port to Gou Datong: "General Gou, what do you think of this place?"
Gou Datong followed the past.
He was in his prime, with a burly and sturdy body, and his big hands, he could see that the water was not bad.
This shows that the water quality is not bad, and it is naturally not a lie. Xue Tingyan once observed it in private. Generally, people who grew up by the water are big-handed, because only those who grow up in the water will have this kind of physique. .
Xue Tingyan did not guess wrong, indeed.
The Gou family has lived in Chaohu for generations, and it is also a hereditary household. The males of the Gou family are proficient in water and are good at naval warfare. It can also be regarded as a family source.
"The terrain here is peculiar. If you can't see the harbor here from the outside, it's best to use it for berthing. The Admiral has taken care of him." Gou Datong said.
Xue Tingyan did take care. Earlier, he took Gou Datong to tour the entire station. Even if the soldiers ’latrines were located, he knew them well, and this station also had a place where his family lived. see.
The Dachang dynasty has always been a civil officer more expensive than a military officer. Even at the same level, the military officer must hold an official ceremony in front of the civilian officer. Xue Tingyan can do all this, which shows that he attaches great importance to these people.
This is a way to get around.
But sometimes people are so strange, even if they know it, they are still excited. This is a little-known downfall, and it is the temptation to encounter Bole. Gou Datong wants to inform people all over the world that the Chaohu water master is a water master, not just knowing the Cao Ding.
During this period, he said while walking, Xue Tingyan and Gou Datong also said a lot, mostly in the current situation of Dinghai and some other small things.
Hearing this, he took a few steps forward and looked at the rolling waves under the reef with his hands, sighing: "I hope that Mr. Gou will understand the intention of the officer. Our situation is not very good. Japan, sailors from Fujian and Guangdong are coming. "
He looked back and smiled slightly, saying: "I hope that by then, the people of Chaohu Water Master will not be compared with them. Lost my face. "
Gou Datong clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured that the adults will certainly not damage the name of the adults."
Xue Tingyan patted Gou Datong's shoulder and smiled, "Actually, I'm just talking about it, and General Gou doesn't have to worry too much."
After visiting this place, the entire sailor's station is considered to be finished.
Xue Tingyan originally wanted to find another place for the sailors, but he didn't know what to do. He will pull the three thousand soldiers brought from the Chaohu Marine Division directly to the station and camp on the spot.
Seeing this, Xue Tingwan did not reluctantly, but just instructed the following people to eat the food of the master.
It can be seen that these people are able to endure hardship. The next day after they settled down, they helped the laborers to work. After asking, they knew that they would be the resident of the sailor in the future. It doesn't matter what you do. With the help of these more than 3,000 soldiers, the naval resident's resident was built very quickly, and it took two months to complete the repair, but it was completed in one month.
At this time, the people from Guangdong and Fujian were both here.
Both teams have a commander-in-chief. The sailors belong to the real standing army. Unlike the local health centers, the ranks of generals are also different. The sailor has one admiral and one general, and the general is followed by the deputy general, the general, the guerrilla, the garrison, the general, and the general.
Because the Zhejiang Navy was initially built, the generals under the commander were all vacant, but it was convenient for Xue Tingyan to act, and some blank appointment letters were given above. Xue Tingyan gave these appointment letters to Gou Datong, who arranged it by himself, so when the two teams from Fujian and Guangdong came, the main frame of the sailor had already been set up.
I thought that after coming, the size can be mixed with a thousand heads or even a general. Who ever wanted to take the total, these two totals are somewhat unwilling. However, the situation could not help but can only be suppressed. After that, the two teams did not cause trouble for Gou Datong. However, the Chaohu family had long been guarded. Naturally, the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.
The shouting and lively Dinghai Port is in an orderly manner.
At the entrance of the wharf, the municipal shipping company has a special place to work. The inventory and spot checks of the goods, the collection of commercial taxes, and even the ships and labor that transport the goods can be solved here.
Since the establishment of Haikaifu, there have been more and more businessmen from all over the world, from large merchants everywhere to small merchants with limited capital. Especially those small businessmen who know that they can make money here come with goods.
Or more than a dozen cars, and a few fewer five or six cars is not necessary, as long as they can pay commercial taxes, Dinghai is here to come.
Shen Ping thought that it would take at least one day to complete the procedures here in the official residence. Who would have thought that it would only be less than two hours before it was finished.
He also brought too little goods, but only five cars.
Even these five cars are poured into Shen Ping's full net worth, intending to take the opportunity to fight a big one.
All his cargo has been on board, but he has to wait for the cargo to be full before he can sail. Therefore, it is so inconvenient for small businessmen. Those big businessmen are to pack a cargo ship of one or even several shipping companies.
Shen Ping stood on Class A, looking across the ship's side to the sea. The sea was calm and his heart was calm.
Ever since he left Shen's house, he has been living in an indefinite home, floating around.
He would like to do business, but he is only so skilled, but just to earn a meal. He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to look at it, and every time he thought about that person, he could only relieve himself a little by letting himself be boundlessly busy.
Sometimes when the night is quiet, Shen Ping will also think that if one day he succeeds and appears in front of her, will she agree to marry him?
But the meaning of being famous is too broad. He hasn't been able to figure out what it takes to be famous, so he is qualified to appear in front of her. Maybe by then, she was already married.
"Dongjia, I've asked the little one. The goods are almost finished and we will set sail soon. Half an hour, we can reach Shuangyu Island."
Shuangyu Island, which has been rumored by many small businessmen, is a place of treasure.
It is said that if anyone can come here, it is rare to double the net worth, who is not making money. Others are still inquiring about hesitation. Shen Ping has come. He knows more than the average small merchant Jia. Since it is Kaifu in the imperial court, he may not know it in the future, but there will be many opportunities.
Even if he loses, he is not afraid, he is only one person anyway.
Shuangyu Island is more magnificent than imagined. The towering watchtower, the fortress like a giant monster, the hole and hole in the fort, and the open and flat pier, with the soldiers guarding it The businessmen who first came to Shuangyu Island felt a sense of fear.
The boat stopped hundreds of meters near the shore and then stopped. Many small sand boats came from the shore. The cargo ship was riveted on the spot, the gangway had already been lowered, and a lot of labor was removed from the sand ship. Under the arrangement of the cargo ship's accompanying shipping company officials, the cargo ship began to unload the sand ship.
With which cargo was unloaded, Jia followed the shipper, and Shen Ping had good luck, but after waiting for half an hour, it was his turn.
He came to the shore in a boat, another round of unloading went ashore, and spot checks were carried out.
After that, I followed the team all the way to Dinghai City. The excited mood was already calm. Only the momentum was ready. I hope this time it can be done, even if I earn less, I can feel the way, even if it is a good start.
After entering the city, it was another wonder.
I saw the shops on both sides lined up, the bluestone road was flat and wide, and the pedestrians on the road were rubbing shoulders. From time to time, I saw trucks and pickers carrying goods pickers.
What's even more surprising is that you can see strange people with different colors on the road. Their eyes are either blue or green, they look strange, and they are even stranger to wear.
If it is the first time to come to Dinghai City, I am afraid that it will not be too scared, as is the case with Shen Ping and his merchants. Still, the coolie who helped transport the goods told them that these are foreigners who come here to trade. Don't be too fussed. The merchants in Dachang are doing business with them. Second, this is not a rare thing.
After entering the city, these small merchants were scattered. Those who have been here long ago have a doorway, and naturally they are familiar with the road. In this line, Shen Ping was a newcomer. When he saw that these people were scattered, he was at a loss for a moment, but he quickly recovered his composure.
"This is the first time this master has come to Dinghai City? If it is the first time, you can walk around and get familiar with the local situation. These goods can be placed in the warehouse of the shipping company. You paid the tax. You can put it for free for three days. If you have not sold it for more than three days, you need to pay a certain fee to the shipping department. "
Shen Ping worked hard to absorb the content of the words, and still asked curiously, "How do you know so much?"
Hearing the words, the coolie smiled and scratched his head: "This is our order, Mr. Xue, the boss of the city's shipping company. Don't look at our efforts, we may do our coolie work in Dinghai City. It was all selected by the city shipping company. It ’s young, strong, and clever, and most people ca n’t get here.
"We had a hard time before Dinghai, and it was only after Lord Xue came, that day was prosperous. Lord Xue said, as long as Dinghai City is in one day, as long as Dinghai City can be prosperous, our ancestors and generations will not have no food. Therefore, this city of Dinghai is also our city of Dinghai people. You lords who come from afar are all here to do business. We naturally wish you could all do it. "
Shen Ping chewed on it for the first time. But I can think about it, but it is not so. Master Xue in his mouth is really a wonderful person!
Not only Shen Ping thought this way, but also a person standing not far from him.
The figure is slender, with black hair and black pupils, but if it can be seen when the sun is low, there is an abnormal blue in his eyes. It's just that the blue color is extremely insignificant. It's not staring seriously, I'm afraid it's not easy to detect.
He was surrounded by more than a dozen people dressed like men, more than Shen Ping brought. It was just that along the way, this group of people was silent and did not talk to people, so they did not attract the attention of others.
It is prudent to walk outside. There are not many like this group of people, so it is not surprising.
"... If the lord does not have a way, you can go to the Bo buy shop to see." The young coolie knew nothing.
"Bo buying market?"
"The Bomaichang is a place opened by the Shibo Company. It specializes in Bomai. There are dental shops, and people who have no way can try to find a dental shop and sell the goods after them. You can rest assured, This dental shop is arranged by the city shipping department, do n’t worry that they will fake people from it. But after the dental shop, they will be pumped. If you do n’t have much goods, you might as well find some in those shops market."
Shen Ping nodded, took a piece of silver from his arms, and gave it to the coolie.
The coolie was also unambiguous, and said with a smile thank you lord. Not far from the side, the man with dark hair and black pupils nodded slightly, and a man walked out beside him, and also came forward with a coolie piece of silver.
Then, under the guidance of the coolie, the two sent the goods in the warehouse of Shibosi, and got a wooden sign from there. With this wooden sign, they can come to take out the goods at any time, and they can only store them for three days for free. After three days, they will be charged.
And the cost is not low.
This is not low for Shen Ping. After entering Dinghai, his business has not yet been completed, and he has spent a lot of money in advance. He does not have much capital. It seems that he has to find a sale quickly, within three days.
When they left the warehouse, the two parties parted ways and did not talk, but they were just passers-by.
Shen Ping spent most of the day in Dinghai City, and went to the Bomai store, and also looked at the shops everywhere.
After half a day, he finally understood why the coolie would say that he could go to those shops to find a market. I have to say that Shen Ping is very envious of those who own shops. They are sitting in one place and doing the business of buying and selling. Many shops do not only sell one thing, but sell everything.
They will also collect goods brought by small merchants like them, and sell them at low prices and high prices. Naturally, this low price is for the other party. For the merchants like Shen Ping, they can earn more than double.
Shen Ping also asked a few, but no one took his things.
The goods he brought this time were not hot-selling items such as silk, tea, and porcelain, but only some Shanxi cloth. This kind of soil cloth is not sold well in Shanxi, but some of Dinghai can't get it.
Don't assume that Haicheng is not big, but there are hundreds of rivers here, and there are tight goods on the market here. Songjiang's cotton cloth armor world, there are silk, silk cloth, satin and so on in Hangzhou and Hangzhou.
Shen Ping felt that he was too hasty, he should inquire about it and come again. But the question is he has no way, and where can I find out.
For those who have touched the door, these are business secrets, and who would be willing to speak out. And for some higher levels, Shen Ping can't reach that level.
Holding a worry, Shen Ping took a few men to find a place to stay. It has to be said that everything here in Dinghai is expensive, as well as the expensive food and housing, but it seems normal to think about the prosperity here.
Early next morning, before dawn, Shen Ping went out.
He intends to sell his goods as much as possible, even if he does not make money, or even lose money. The big deal is to come back next time, after this time, it is also a loss of money to buy experience.
To his disappointment, he asked many families, and the other party shook his head at him. Unconsciously, he walked to the central street again.
This avenue is the most prosperous place in Dinghai City, and Shibo Division is built here. Shen Ping had been here before, but he passed by in a hurry. The people who can shop on this street are all giants. Who would ask him for these cloths? So he only stayed here.
But this time Shen Ping wanted to give it a try, it was a desperate man who had to go to the doctor in a hurry.
He even asked a few of them, and he was greeted with contempt, ridicule, and even cold words. Sure enough, the shop bullied, this is not surprising Shen Ping.
He came to the shop directly opposite the Shibo Division. Compared to other shops, it had the best location and the largest door. He looked up and saw two plaques hanging on it.
The one above his head reads "Tylon Business", and next to it is the Tyrone ticket. People from the ticket number came in and out, but this business seemed to have no business. There was only a strangely dressed foreigner holding something in his hand, talking to the person at the counter.
Shen Ping stepped on the steps, and heard a familiar female voice: "Mr. Roberts, your flower is really not pretty, you should take it away."
"Oh, my dear Di, you are really sad to say so."
