Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In fact, Mr. Zhao is not anxious to go to sea, but is anxious to see the shipping fleet led by his sister Huaixiu

    As for Gao Cheng, who was about to get angry, Zhao Hao asked someone to take him to see the battleship, and he immediately calmed down.

    ??Twenty days have passed since the ¡®Battle of Marado Island¡¯.  After the battle, Chen Huaixiu continued sailing with the shipping fleet, from Chengshantou to the Laotie Waterway, into the Bohai Bay, from Dagukou directly into the Grand Canal, and all the way to the capital.

    The fleet unloaded the grain on board the ship in the capital, loaded it with cargo and returned, arriving at Dagokou three days ago.  Chen Huaixiu ordered them to dock at the Dagu Port Pier to rest and wait for Mr. Zhao to come and join him.

    When Zhao Hao arrived at the pier, he saw Chen Huaixiu wearing a white undershirt with aqua blue placket, and her hair was tied behind her head with a blue hoop. She looked heroic and neat, which was very suitable.  The identity of the leader of the Shachuan Gang.

    "But she has long eyebrows and long eyes. Between her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, there is a hint of the white lady's demureness and gentleness.  As you get closer, you can see small white daisies embroidered on her white collar. Although they are not conspicuous, they show the ironclad fact that she is still young.

    "Sister Huaixiu!" Zhao Hao happily waved to her on the deck, and walked quickly towards her as soon as he got off the ship.

    "You have worked hard all the way, sir." Seeing Zhao Hao, Chen Huaixiu also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

    "It's not hard work, Sister Huaixiu, you guys are." Zhao Hao smiled and said hello to Jin Ke, Elder Niu and Uncle Mi who came with him.

    In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, after entering the Bohai Bay, only ten armed sand ships were escorted.  Wang Rulong and his ten black-tailed boats did not enter the Laotie Waterway at all.  After all, the origin of the Wuwei boat itself is difficult to explain.  Until the foundation of maritime transportation is solid, it is better to be cautious.

    Chen Huaixiu also exchanged a few cordial greetings with Ma Xianglan and Qiaoqiao, and everyone gathered around Mr. Zhao and walked to the trestle not far away.

    There are densely packed sand ships from Jiangnan Shipping.  There is not enough space for the trestle, so many boats have to anchor at the mouth of the river. All of them are anchored in fresh water, and no boat is anchored in salt water.

    This is the experience of running a boat.  When a wooden boat travels on the sea for a period of time, it will be parasitized by various organisms such as barnacles and shipworms under the waterline.  Barnacles can seriously slow down a boat, and shipworms can gouge holes in the bottom of a boat.  If not treated, it will seriously affect the life of the vessel.

    The simplest way is to sail the boat into fresh water and stay there for ten days and a half, which will kill these hateful marine creatures.

    Of course, parasites in fresh water cannot tolerate sea water.

    These experiences may seem inconspicuous, but they are extremely valuable to the fleet.  It can keep the ship in good condition and greatly extend its service life, which no amount of money can buy.

    Zhao Hao secretly lamented that his investment was so cost-effective. With Chen Huaixiu and her Sand Boat Gang, they finally took the first step towards the ocean!

    ??~~

    Everyone gathered around Zhao Hao and boarded the Pingjiang, the flagship of the shipping fleet.  Chen Huaixiu invited the young master and everyone to have tea in the meeting hall on the top floor of the forecastle.

    This boat has been used as a vehicle for the eldest princess before, and it has been renovated.  The floors and bulkheads inside were all replaced with nanmu. Half-hidden by the hanging curtains decorated with sea-blue silk ribbons, there were lattice windows lightly covered with white silk.  The carved beams and painted buildings look like palaces.

    It turns out that when the eldest princess was here, this place was even more luxurious than it is now.  Chen Huaixiu felt that it was too extravagant, so after returning to Chongming, he put away all the carpets, furnishings, etc.

    However, in order to welcome Zhao Hao, she still tried her best to prepare.

    The long conference table is covered with a blue tablecloth, and the cups and cups on the table are all made of blue and white flowers.  Fresh fruits and exquisite snacks are all neatly stacked.  Being generous is her style.

    Zhao Hao sat down at the front seat, smiled and waved his hand for everyone to sit down too.  He returned to the state of being admired by all the stars, and felt a little secretly happy.

    After Chen Huaixiu, Jin Ke and others thanked the young master, they sat down on both sides of the long table in order.

    "The Battle of Maruo Island was caused by my poor thinking and frightened Sister Huaixiu." Zhao Hao first apologized to Chen Huaixiu.

    "Young master, what are you talking about? The Shachuan Gang is not a delicate flower that has not gone through the wind and rain." Chen Huaixiu smiled very charmingly. While pouring tea for him, he smiled and said: "Besides, the Coast Guard protected us very well, and the Japanese pirates didn't even touch us.  Come to the side of the fleet."

    "Yes, sir, Mr. Jin and Captain Wang are so powerful." Old Niu said with a moo: "Two thousand Japanese pirates, chopping melons and vegetables, they were all wiped out in the blink of an eye. I, Old Niu, are completely convinced!"

    "My subordinates are also convinced." Uncle Mi nodded in agreement.

    As soon as the expert comes out,?The chairman should be proactive.  "Zhao Hao praised Chen Huaixiu and said with a smile: "By the way, the name 'Jiangnan Shipping' needs to be changed.  Or 'Jiangnan Shipping' is more suitable.  "

    "Oh?" Everyone present was very sensitive. After hearing this, their eyes lit up and they asked excitedly: "Sir, is the shipping matter going to be completed?"

    "Of course, otherwise my grandson and grandson would have worked so hard to travel to Henan just to finish the spicy soup?" Zhao Hao said with a proud smile: "Everything will be resolved next month at the latest!"

    As he spoke, he smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone's hard work over the past six months has finally paid off."

    ¡°Great!¡± Deafening cheers rang out in the conference room.  "Finally we are going to open the sea!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
