Chapter 1051 Inspection

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After completing the task assigned by Zhang Idol, Zhao Hao set off for Tamna Island.

    Soon after going to sea, we met Jinke who came with three black-tailed boats to escort us. They arrived in Xingang City early this morning.

    The fleet is moored at the half-built pier in Xingang. Tang Youde, Zhu Jue, Pu Chengxing and others have been waiting eagerly to warmly welcome the young master to inspect.

    It was calm along the way and Zhao Hao had a good rest.  He walked down the wooden gangway in high spirits to the sound of music that had a strong smell of kimchi.  After chatting with everyone, he happily inspected the first city he built overseas without taking a rest.

    He instructed Tang Youde that Xingang City is a model city.  In the future, the group will build many more cities overseas, and it will have to learn from the experience and lessons of Xingang City.  Therefore, we must build this city with a strict mentality of establishing standards to set an example for those who come after us.

    For this reason, he also tempted Old Tang. In the future, he could consider erecting a bronze statue of him in the square in front of the city hall.

    "Then we have to lose weight." Fatty Tang burst out laughing when he heard this, patted his belly and said, "Otherwise it will be useless."

    "Hahaha, it's okay, it's hollow." Zhao Hao laughed loudly, his clothes were not as good as those of a newcomer, he was just jealous of Fatty Tang.

    "Hey, Young Master, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve." Tang Youde couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Then you have to lose weight, so that you can look better."

    "Wouldn't it be better to let the statue master carve you a slimmer one?" Zhu Jue on the side laughed.  The two were old acquaintances in Xishan Company, and now they became partners, so they naturally became more familiar with each other.

    "Hey, that's a good idea." Tang Youde was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then we have to make him more handsome."

    "Okay, don't think so far ahead." Zhao Hao stood on the dock and looked at the progress of the project here. He was afraid that it would not be completed by the end of the year.  "Hurry up and build the pier first so that we can welcome guests."

    "Oh, Master, this can't be rushed." Tang Youde wrinkled his face when he heard this and said: "Tamluo Island has strong winds and waves, and Gappo Island in the south is too small, and there is no shielding effect at all. Lao Niu said that a long road must be built around the pier.  The breakwater can block the intrusion of waves so that there is enough water depth in the port, and yes, there is also a stable water surface to meet the basic functions of berthing, loading and unloading, and entering and exiting the port for various ships."

    Lao Niu is Elder Niu Niu Yiqun. He is the vice chairman of Chongkai Division. He is also the one who led the team to Tamluo Island for construction this time.  The Sansha Pier of the Shachuan Gang was built by Lao Niu. He also led people to build the seawall for a winter, so he has rich experience in this area.

    Therefore, Niu Yiqun is responsible for the construction of the docks at the two construction sites in Xingang City and Tamna Guard District on the island.  Unfortunately, Lao Niu went east yesterday, so I didn¡¯t see him today.

    "The breakwater is difficult to repair." Tang Youde continued: "You have to take advantage of the low tide to build a wooden cage first, and then fill the cage with stones. Several layers of wooden boards are nailed to the outside of the cage, and then sandbags are piled on top of the wooden cage.  On the outside of the weir wall, waterproofing is done. Then the water in the cofferdam is drained, and then the concrete can be started. The cofferdam cannot be built very big, so it can only be built day by day and slowly built into the sea."

    "Fortunately, there is a long reef outside the harbor, parallel to the shore, which can be used as the foundation of the cofferdam. Otherwise, this work would not be possible at all." Zhu Jue smiled and continued: "I think the young master was just looking at it when he came here.  You can take advantage of the geographical location here, so you chose to open a port here, right?"

    "Haha, I have this consideration." Mr. Zhao nodded without any guilt.  After all, he had been on a yacht here in his previous life and was very impressed by this port at the southernmost tip of Tamna Island.

    It seems to be called Musserpool Port or something like that?  But it doesn't matter, anyway, I will never call this half-sounding name again.

    In later generations, the port here was a wide breakwater built on the reef that originally existed.  Moreover, the inside of the breakwater also serves as a pier, so that ships can be berthed around the entire harbor, providing almost hundreds of berths.

    If a few more trestles are built in the harbor later, thousands of ships can easily be berthed at the same time, which is enough for a prosperous commercial city.

    And a few hundred meters to the south, there is another natural harbor, which can be used for future expansion.  But Zhao Hao estimated that it wouldn't be needed within a few decades.

    But in the long run, it is certainly better than nothing.  Zhao Hao chose to rent here permanently because he took a fancy to the huge potential here.

    ??~~

    The wharf is a century-old project and cannot be rushed.

    ??Besides, the country is still at war with Japan. There is no intention to carry out trade with Japan within this year, so Mr. Zhao will not urge it.  He left the dock surrounded by people.

    After the guards withdrew, Che Zhuzi and others quickly waved the "Spirit Injection Stick" and drove the Japanese husband to the pier carrying sandbags.

    ???It is called Xingang City instead.

    The city was a large administrative unit in later generations, but in this era it just meant a market, such as the East-West Market in Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty.  For example, Zengtou City, which King Chao Tian attacked, was a trading center outside the county seat.  It also means the same thing in this dynasty.

    ???????????????????????So the mayor of Tang Youde, in the ears of later generations, is a big official, but in the eyes of people in this dynasty, he is just a village leader.

    Therefore, Fatty Tang was still a little reluctant to come. He was the financial director of Xishan Company, and his contacts were all high-ranking officials in the capital. That was a proud life.  Mr. Zhao suddenly sent him to the isolated island of Tamluo to be a small village leader. Fatty Tang would naturally cry.

    ps. There are a lot of messy things before the holiday, so I¡¯ll just give you two updates.  There will be three updates tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
