Chapter 1461 Feeling like my body has been hollowed out

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Zhao Hao and his family left the capital on an ice truck.

    The eldest princess actually wanted to go south with her, saying she couldn't bear to be separated from her daughter.  This made Empress Chen, who had always been mindless, find it hard to stand it, reminding her that this would put a lot of pressure on her son-in-law and affect the couple's relationship.

    But the eldest princess still went her own way and said that my son-in-law was my godson.  He didn¡¯t have a biological mother, so I, as his godmother, attended the wedding for his biological mother. It was too late for him to be happy Empress Chen couldn¡¯t refute, so she let her go.

    Zhao Liben was going back to arrange the wedding, so of course he was among them.  He knew that Ning'an was just pretending to kill Guo, and besides, the ink on the armistice agreement between the two sides was not yet dry, so the old man had no choice but to pinch his nose and agree to set off with her.

    According to reports from Tianjin, due to the cold wave, the floating ice in Bohai Bay has penetrated more than ten miles into the bay, and shipping at Dagukou has been completely interrupted.

    In fact, when I came to Beijing last year, the ice floes in the Bohai Bay were very serious. At that time, Elder Niu spent a lot of effort and took a whole day to cover the short seven or eight miles of ice floes.  It was so slow, and the ship's hull was hit by the moving ice floes and had several large holes. Fortunately, there was a watertight cabin, so no major problems occurred.

    So if it weren¡¯t for the rush of time, after the bay freezes in winter, it will really be no longer navigable.

    In fact, considering that with the advent of the Little Ice Age, the sea ice in the Bohai Bay will become more and more serious, and the number of days without navigation will become longer and longer every year.  This golden route, which has actually replaced the Grand Canal and connects the north and the south, has direct losses of more than 100,000 taels for every day it is out of service. Therefore, since it just obtained the shipping rights three years ago, Royal Shipping has been actively looking for ice-free ports.  to keep winter shipping flowing.

    Under the guidance of Mr. Zhao¡¯s scientific theory, they quickly found Caofeidian, which is across the bay from Dagukou.

    This alluvial delta located in the south of Luanzhou, Yongping Prefecture, Zhili, was named after the "Cao Fei Palace" built on the sandbank by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in memory of his concubine surnamed Cao.  On its southern edge, the water is seven to eight feet deep, with vast swaths of waves and smooth waterways.  What's even more rare is that it doesn't freeze all year round and has direct access to the Yellow Sea without obstruction, making it the best choice for winter shipping.

    According to the research of researchers from the Crew Academy, when the sea was not banned in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Republic of China, all the ships transporting grain from the south to the north and entering the capital were entering the Luan River Chaobai River Canal and entering Beijing from here.  It's just that the country has abandoned maritime transportation for 180 years. The canal has been in disrepair for a long time and has been severely silted up. It has long been unavailable to ships.

    ¡°This is simply a piece of cake for Jiangnan Group, which started out with big projects.  However, when the 'river dredging project plan' was submitted, it was ruthlessly rejected by the board of directors - this is Gyeonggi Province, are tens of thousands of people gathered together to rebel?  At least in the Longqing Dynasty, one must pay attention to the impact.

    So the Luanhe Canal renovation project was put on hold indefinitely.  However, after winter, the ice bed can still be used on the frozen river without any hindrance.  Royal Shipping was flexible, and when there was no ice at Dagukou, it would still dock at Tianjinwei for unloading.  During the ice season, cargo will be docked at Caofeidian for unloading. This ensures that except for the twenty days before and after the Chinese New Year, the fleet will continue to flow during the rest of the time, earning a steady stream of high profits for the group.

    Of course, this is a statement of low emotional intelligence.

    The saying of high emotional intelligence is that it can maintain the smooth flow of goods between the north and the south and promote the prosperity and stability of the Ming Dynasty!

    ??~~

    So Zhao Hao and his party took an ice truck via Chaobai River to Luanhe River, and took three days to arrive at Shacankou, Caofeidian.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????: The sea surface is vast and turbid, and the turbid water laps against the concrete pier. As expected, this port further north than Dagukou is not frozen.

    On the pier, Elder Niu and his fleet have been waiting for a long time.  In order not to delay the young master's schedule, he spent several years in Xingang City after going to Tamluo Island to repair the ship.

    Zhao Hao apologized for this, but Elder Niu said happily that the joy of celebrating the New Year in Xingang City was beyond the imagination of the young master.  Except that gambling is not allowed in public, it is a man's paradise.

    When Mr. Zhao heard this, he felt no emotion in his heart.

    The song "Feeling My Body Has Been Empty" has been playing in his ears lately, and he is tired and still has dark circles under his eyes

    ¡°Perhaps his performance on the wedding night was too vigorous, and his wives overestimated his abilities.  Moreover, newlyweds, experiencing ecstasy for the first time, and having competitive thoughts, will inevitably ask for more and stay up all night.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Now he would rather chat with Elder Niu in the wheelhouse than rush back to pay the public rations.

    But he was not in a hurry, while others were. The two of them chatted until about seven o'clock, when Qianyi came to ask him to go back and rest.

    Zhao Hao felt a little relieved when he saw that she was Xiao Jing's maid. At least Zhang Xiaojing's combat power was slightly weaker. She was not as crazy as the little princess, nor was she like Jiang Xueying, who always wanted to squeeze every drop out of him.The level of immortality is currently beyond the reach of little girls.

    Sister Ma felt that Zhao Hao was obviously worried. At first, she thought he was thinking of Chen Huaixiu.  But it doesn't look like it, because Zhao Hao is always asking for news from the capital

    It is the duty of a qualified secretary to be anxious.  She then carefully reviewed the reports from the capital, and found that they were always calm at the beginning of the year.  The matter of setting up a maritime yamen in the Ministry of Household Affairs was also put on hold for the time being due to the young master's operation two years ago and two years ago.

    The only thing that can be regarded as a big deal is that 'there is illness in late January'.

    "But Emperor Longqing was sick for more than a day or two, and there seemed to be nothing to pay special attention to.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off out of nowhere, as soon as the emperor claimed he was ill, Gao Ge Lao came back according to the order.  He said that His Majesty could no longer worry about it, lest it affect Sheng Gong's recovery.  Everyone knows that this is just an excuse for him to be lonely.

    It¡¯s just that the emperor¡¯s illness lasted a little longer this time, and he didn¡¯t recover until the middle of this month.

    However, according to the latest news, the palace has announced that a court meeting will be held on the 22nd of this month, and His Majesty will visit the court to reassure people.

    So the world is basically at peace, okay?  I really don¡¯t understand what the young master is still worried about?  Could it be that Gao Beard is still causing trouble?
