Chapter 843 Shipping Company

    This is also the reason why Chen Huaixiu is anxious to go back. How can the leader of the Shachuan Gang not show up at such a critical time?

    "It's very good, morale can be used." Zhao Hao sat on the pillow, eating oranges peeled by Gang Leader Chen, and asked: "Has Pan Zhongcheng been there?"

    "We are looking at the terrain on the island." Chen Huaixiu said: "Chairman Yu is accompanying his old man and said that the drawings will be out in a few days."

    "Well, Lieyang is still reliable." Zhao Hao said reassuringly: "Xueying has already recruited enough workers for Chongkai Division. This year is not going well and the people in Jiangnan are living a hard life. This is good news for Chongming.  "

    "Yes, if it weren't for the difficulty outside, there wouldn't be so many people coming back." Chen Huaixiu nodded with deep approval.

    "The seawall construction will officially start almost this month." Zhao Hao added: "We still have to hurry up and not let the county affect the progress of the seawall. Otherwise, it will not be completed before the Peach Blossom Flood next year, and we will be in big trouble."

    "Don't worry, young master, under the leadership of Lord Jin County, there will be no delay." Chen Huaixiu looked at Jin Xuezeng with admiration and said:

    "This old parent is really amazing. Now the whole county is very convinced."

    "That's natural." Mr. Zhao smiled proudly. Jin Xuezeng was a typical person who always shines brightly when given a little sunshine.  I haven't done anything before, so it's really hard for a clever woman to make a plan without rice.

    With no money, no land, and no one under him, no matter how great his skills are, he can't use them.

    Zhao Hao¡¯s trip to Chongming solved all problems.  Jin Xuezeng could finally use his hands and feet freely.

    Originally, Zhao Hao only asked him to select a site for the county seat, but Jin Xuezeng did not wait and after choosing the location of the future county seat, he persuaded Yu Shensi and Chen Huaixiu to build the earth city wall in advance.  In this way, you can wait until the masonry is in place in the future, and then wrap the earthen wall with city bricks.

    His reason is simple. For a place with extremely serious population loss, there is no measure that can change the decline more than building a county seat.

    Without a city that can protect the people of the county, there is no way to give the people a sense of security, and it will be difficult to recall the lost population.  There is no way to attract workers and refugees recruited from elsewhere to settle on Chongming Island, thus missing a great opportunity to restore Chongming's prosperity.

    And the vast majority of county towns are also built in this way, with an earth wall as the inner core and the outside covered with city bricks.  It's just that Jin Xuezeng separated these two steps - after all, the earth city wall is also a city wall, and it can also give the people a sense of security As long as the city bricks are wrapped well before the rainy season next year.

    ¡°People all understand these principles, but they still have many concerns.

    There is no other reason, the people have been frightened.  The county town has collapsed three times in the past thirty years. Who can guarantee whether the efforts will be in vain this time?

    How did Jin Xuezeng dispel the concerns of the people?  He brought out the two gods worshiped by the people of Chongming - Poseidon and Mazu.  All the elders in the county were called together to lay down three sacrifices as tribute and pray for the blessings of the two gods.

    And he swore a poisonous oath in public that he would live as long as the county.  The day the county town collapsed was the day Jin Xuezeng died!

    By using some scientific methods to create magical phenomena, the people in the county finally plucked up the courage to do it again.

    This set of operations is the same as that of his master, and it has almost become the official secret book of the science sect.

    Everyone in the county worked hard for themselves.  Finally, it took less than two months to build a city with a perimeter of nine miles and thirty steps and a city wall eleven steps wide.  There are four land gates and one water gate in Tucheng.

    In the future, coal will be transported to the island, kilns will be dug and bricks will be fired, and the earthen walls will be covered with city bricks in a month or two, and an impregnable Chongming County town will be built!

    Jin Xuezeng was afraid that the people would worry that the city wall was crude and could not defend against enemies, so he added four gate towers and four turrets to the city wall.  Chongming County, which was originally a brick wall, suddenly looked more presentable.

    Although it is useless when it comes to actually defending the city, it greatly improves the people's sense of security because it looks very similar.

    At the same time, Jin Xuezeng also organized the people to build streets and county offices in Tucheng.  The Shachuan Gang also started building houses in the east of the city and prepared to move the main helm to the county seat.

    The entire Sansha Island is now a busy construction site.

    ??~~

    In the ward.

    After listening to Chen Huaixiu¡¯s report, Zhao Hao was very satisfied with the performance of Chongming County and the Shachuan Gang.

    Although Chen Huaixiu did not boast a word, it goes without saying that her contribution is indispensable.

    "It's really worth it that Mr. Zhao took all the trouble to send her to the throne of the gang leader."

    Now, we can talk to her about the two issues that were shelved at the beginning.

    "The Shachuan Gang pounces"I'm afraid business will be greatly affected by the county's construction, right?  Mr. Zhao asked naturally.

    "That's natural." Chen Huaixiu nodded and said: "Now 80% of the men and more than half of the elderly and women in the gang are working on the construction site. There are only five to six hundred sailors left to run ships and haul goods to maintain the economy.  This is how the gang makes a living."

    As she spoke, she patted the white silk on her hands and said frankly: "But don't worry too much, sir. Even if there is no construction, most of the ships will be idle. The market is not good this year, business is difficult to do, and those of us who run ships are the most affected.  Fortunately, Chongkai Division¡¯s big project is here, at least we don¡¯t have to worry about the gang members going hungry.¡±

    "The Shachuan Gang still needs to run ships. Sailors and ship bosses are valuable talents. It would be a waste to carry sacks on the construction site." Zhao Hao then smiled and said: "Why don't we set up a joint venture shipping company and just take over Jiangnan Group's own  The business is enough to support the entire gang.¡±

    "Is that so?" Chen Huaixiu was happy at first and then worried after hearing this.

    In fact, she has been waiting here for Zhao Hao. A large part of the reason is to see if she can get some business from Jiangnan Group to replenish her blood.

    Now Zhao Hao is willing to hand over all the transportation business of the group to the Shachuan Gang, which is of course the best.  In the future, droughts and floods will ensure harvests and livelihoods will be worry-free.

    But the problem is, it¡¯s a little too good.

    Chen Huaixiu is not the kind of idiot who only stares at his eyes.  She was keenly aware of a fatal issue - once the two parties jointly established a shipping company as Zhao Hao said, should the ship boss and the sailors listen to the gang or the company?

    The Shachuan Gang is not a gang, but a trading firm disguised as a gang.  The key to the gang leader being able to control the entire gang is that externally, she can handle business on behalf of the entire gang; internally, she has the power to allocate business.

    Once it becomes a shipping company, the business will be dispatched by Jiangnan Group and distributed by the shipping company.  So is it still necessary for her to exist as a gang leader?

    Even if no one destroys you, you will gradually lose control of your gang, and the Shachuan Gang will also exist in name only

    Chen Huaixiu is not afraid of the former result, but she cannot afford the latter result.

    ps. The third update, I will write another update to make up for the debt owed yesterday.  Hey, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to sleep well (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
