Chapter 97

When they returned to the Jin Mansion and told the two masters about the carrier pigeon, Jin Yan thought that if the carrier pigeon arrived at Liangshan Port, Lu Run would have to send it over as soon as possible.Inspired by this, Jin Yang proposed the idea of ​​building a carrier pigeon communication base station in Jinfu to facilitate fast and efficient communication with various places.

In mid-September, the third salt field began to be put into experimental operation, because the salt was melted in a cauldron filled with seawater, and the brine with a concentration almost saturated began to crystallize in the crystallization pond.Several crystallization pools are used in rotation, and crystallization salt is also continuously produced.

Later, Jin Li felt that such a large amount of salt production would arouse the jealousy of his peers. After a month of trial production, he stopped such production and planned to include this method in the technical reserve.These pools are also used as crystallization pools, after the purchased crispy rice is used up.In order to keep it secret, those cauldrons and stoves were also evacuated.

With the increase of salt production, the two specially set aside two sewing machines to make the outer packaging of salt.In this case, the sewing machines are not enough, so Jin Yan plans to make a few more.

The master who explored the river channel sent a courier to send the survey results through Lu Run, and all of them were marked on a map. The small river in Yantian began to fork in the upper reaches of the main channel of the Heishui River. The Heishui River is more than three miles wide, although it is not considered a big river. However, it is suitable to sail by water transport boats, because it is also connected to the water network in the south, and there are also many water transport terminals.

The Heishui River runs eighty miles south of the capital, and there are only two places where it is not connected to the water network of the Xiaojin River, one for eight miles and the other for three miles.If the canals are dug to open up these two barrier areas, the Xiaojin River in front of the Jinfu Gate will be able to connect to the sea.In other words, the river channels in the capital can be connected to the southern water network to open water transportation.

Jin Yan found the First Prince and showed him the map. The First Prince has long been longing for the convenient water transportation in the south. As for the Xiaojin River, which is not far from the capital, if a wharf can be built beside the river, it will be able to serve the tourists in the capital. Cargo transportation brings great convenience.After he asked Fu Zong for instructions, he got Fu Zong's permission to mobilize 1000 peasants to dig canals and dredge the waterways during the slack season in October.

Both of them were forward-looking. At the same time that the imperial court mobilized civilian husbands in late September, they took a carriage along the Xiaojin River for several days, looking for an area suitable for building a wharf. After looking around, they found the east side of the Jinfu compound. It's a whole piece of Changsanlidi.The river here is wider than other places, and the water depth is more than three meters, not only enough to dock their newly built cargo ships, but also ten times more ships can be accommodated.

In the past, because this place was too far away from the densely populated residential and commercial areas outside the city, people were not optimistic about it, and the prices of fields and houses could not go up. Jin Yan Liutao then ordered the old Mr. Zhao and his son to go house to house with Liu Guangjun and others. Go to negotiate, buy them [-] to [-]% higher than the usual price, or buy a house with the same conditions in another good location to replace them.Due to the intensive mobilization and favorable price conditions, it only took more than ten days to buy a large area of ​​houses along the river.

Of course, there are also nail households, that is, the two families next to Yuanwai Liu. These two families are next to the river.

Jin Hao got angry at them for being pedantic, but Liu Tao said: "Brother Jin Hao, everyone has their own way of life, you can't use your own thinking to assimilate others, even though the price we gave was [-]% or [-]% higher than the original price, But people don’t want to move, so we can’t act like a black-hearted developer and force demolition?” Jin Yang was right after thinking about it, so he stopped worrying about it.

In this large-scale purchase of land, even the houses and no land around the house in Jinsha were bought. Some people’s land is contiguous, and if they want to sell it, they must be sold together. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it. And supporting facilities are too much to use.When the two of them were drawing a sketch for the pier, they saw that the land was criss-crossed, and they had a new idea, to keep the land behind as close to the border as possible, and save it for future use.

The end of the wharf they planned reached the bridge outside the courtyard wall of the Jinfu, and the other end removed the nail house, and it was about to reach the west courtyard wall of Liu Yuanwai's mansion three miles away. After passing Liu Yuanwai's mansion to the east is the royal school outside the city. Therefore, it is impossible to relocate Liu Yuanwai's mansion and Dajiaochang. There are also official roads and Dashiqiao that pass directly from the south of the capital. The irreplaceable position of Jinjia Wharf.

The land that is three miles long and one mile wide has been bought, and it is waiting for the demolition and flattening of the land. In fact, Jin Li doesn't want to get involved in real estate, and only plans to develop the area east of Jinfu.Now that the enclosure is complete, it is time to hire people to build the pier and earn money after the canal is opened.

When the news spread, the land prices of the houses along the Xiaojin River rose gradually. Unfortunately, the good location has already given way to the Jin Mansion, and the price of Jinsha's current house has also increased by [-]%.The prices of those two nail houses were more than doubled by other businesses, but they just didn't sell them.

The second uncle was busy with his eldest daughter's marriage during this time, so he didn't understand the commercial changes in the south of the city at all. After his daughter got married, it was three springs too late to hear the news.After he complained to his grandparents, his grandparents complained that Liu Taojin was eating alone and didn't tell his second uncle the news in advance.After hearing this, the two laughed.

The three-mile-long wharf, as well as the warehouses of the goods yard and the places where people eat and live, the amount of work is not insignificant. After the stalls are rolled out, it will become a large construction site.When planning for Jinzang, the wharf was divided into fifteen areas, that is, the entire large wharf was divided into fifteen sub-wharves, each wharf is [-] steps wide, and a wharf is a set of corresponding freight yard warehouse housing behind the wharf. Yes, no matter who you lease it to, you don't need to renovate it.In the future, the docks that cannot be used by oneself will be rented out, and the respective management will not interfere with each other.

Jin Yan and Liu Tao gave them a unified plan, and the houses in the wharf and freight yard were all neat and uniform.He and Liu Tao took care of the big things, and handed over the small things to Erhu and Liu Guangjun.They invited three or five groups of craftsmen, each responsible for the construction of the wharf yard and houses. Boss Gong and his group were promoted to project supervisors, who specially strictly controlled the quality of the project.As the weather is getting colder and colder, the craftsmen are eating and living at the construction site and fighting at night. Fortunately, there is no such thing as disturbing the people these years, and the neighbors in the distance have not raised any opinions.

The soldiers guarding the Imperial Mausoleum had all benefited from the Jin Mansion. They saw some craftsmen passing the small bridge on the side of the Jin Mansion to the west side of the Jin Mansion when they were idle after work. At this time, Ma Jinqiang went to help manage the pier. It was built, and the house where Jinsha lived was originally a family that worked on the vineyard. They worked in the vineyard during the day, and some people came over because there were houses and pear trees blocking it, so they couldn't see people walking by the river.Some people sneak into the field when they see that there is no one in the vineyard, hoping to take advantage of a bunch of grapes.

The officers and soldiers guarding the Imperial Mausoleum did not lack the benefits of the Jin Mansion. They stood guard at the Imperial Mausoleum and were guarding the gates of the Jin Mansion some time ago. The food in the Jin Mansion was much better than the kitchen of the Imperial Tomb.During the New Year's Eve, the Jinfu also gave them the same benefits as the Jinfu employees, and they could eat free grapes from the Jinfu vineyard when they returned to the imperial mausoleum. Even if the Jinfu people saw them picking grapes, they would not care about them. .

The officer heard that someone was coming to steal grapes, and this time he finally got the chance to repay the Jin family, so he sent several soldiers to the bridge to take turns to stand guard, and forbidding idlers to wait to cross the bridge.

Brother Su and Huang Ying came back and took over the stores in the city. Liu Tao's father and the three younger ones were replaced. During this period, Jiang Yuman taught them foreign languages ​​every day.

Tian Zhuang was with Jiang Yuman every day, and fell in love with this beautiful lady after a long time. After matching with his mother, the relationship has become clear.Because of the good secrecy measures, Tian Zhuang didn't know what happened to her.Ordinarily, Liu Tao and the others are modern people's thinking, and they don't care too much about chastity and dedication.

But Liu Tao is not in this list, what she doesn't care about is what other people do, she has taken Brother Jin Yang in advance, first come first served, that woman won't even dare to wink at him.

Jin Yan and Ma Jinqiang went to Liangshan Port alone, and brought Lu Run back for a blind date. What made Lu Run excited was that there were several beauties for him to choose from.Liu Tao also notified the three beauties of Qinglang Country and Maerhua in advance, and first talked about Lu Run's character and specialty, the main thing is to let them know Lu Run in advance.

Lu Run is in charge of the Liangshan Port Warehouse Wharf alone, and he has a different temperament from ordinary people like the general who often leads the army.When they saw the real person, Lu Run immediately caught their attention.Each of them had a quarter of an hour to spend alone with Lu Run. Lu Run met the first beautiful woman from Qinglang Country named Ma Ji, and the two immediately fell in love with each other.

This Lu Run also has a humorous side. When Liu Tao asked him, he fell in love with Ma Ji who was the first to come in. The two fell in love at first sight.

When Liu Tao asked him why he didn't see more, she said: "I'm afraid that after we meet, we will all fall in love at once. If we all marry and go home, you will definitely not agree to it, cousin, so this is the first time." One is fine, it will save you from being distracted after watching too much..."

Lu Run stayed in the Jin Mansion for six days, until Jin Yang came back, he bid farewell to Ma Ji and returned to Liangshan Port.Maggie got an excellent sweetheart, happy like a bird.

Both of her parents died in Qinglang Country. When she was selecting beauties in Qinglang Country, her elder brother and sister-in-law paid her a dowry for her future marriage. Without her knowledge, they signed her up and got a reward of 20 taels of silver .With a miserable heart, she once swore when she was taken away; she would never recognize them again.Now that I have found my lover, I heard that the annual salary given to him by the boss was originally 500 taels of silver. After marrying Lu Run, they will give them a salary increase.

During his time in Liangshan Port, Jin Zhan also gained a lot. He was in Liangshan Port, commanded Fan Tong and led three boats, and sailed towards Shark Island at night. Sailing slowly, using mast lights to attract the attention of pirates, and two ships sailing in the distance behind it, this is a typical wolf pack tactic, always ready to wipe out the lured pirate ships.
