Chapter 2505
The people I met at the port were about the same age, and they were all companions who studied and grew up together at the beginning, and they were very familiar with each other.Their parents were all powerful and senior officials, a group standing at the top of the power pyramid, so from a very young age, they understood that their identities were different from ordinary people.
While enjoying all kinds of special treatment, they also carry the ardent expectations of their parents.From birth to this world, each of them has been cultivated by their parents as the helm of the country's future, and they must perform at their best in all aspects.Therefore, despite their young age, they have already held important positions in their respective departments, and formed a special group in Haihan official circles.
However, whether they can grow into qualified heirs in the future and take over the country that their parents have conquered is still difficult to determine.They still need to deepen their understanding of this country through continuous work and prove their abilities before they can truly take over power in the future.
Of course, Tao Hongfang would not naively think that the meeting with these friends at this time and place was just a chance encounter. These people all had entourage and large bags of luggage, and they obviously looked like they were going to travel far away.
"Everyone, it can't be such a coincidence that you all want to take this boat to Hangzhou for business, right?" Tao Hongfang didn't care whether it would involve secrets, and finally he took the initiative to ask them the question in his heart.
Ha Jianyi replied gruffly: "That's really a coincidence. I suddenly received an order in the morning, and arranged for me to go to Hangzhou to inspect the training and equipment of the local army, and asked me to leave immediately."
Bai Letong nodded and said, "I also received a temporary notice to go to Hangzhou to host this year's provincial examination in Zhejiang."
Ning Zijing, who was the last to arrive here, said, "Don't look at me. I'm just like you. I packed my bags and came here as soon as I was notified. It is said that there is an important trade project in Hangzhou, and someone needs to go over and watch... time The arrangement is so tight, isn’t it just to let us all get on this boat?”
The other three people may not understand what is going on, but Tao Hongfang already knows it well.He asked his father last night whether he would arrange for others to go to Hangzhou together, but he did not get a positive answer at that time, but now it seems that his question made his father make further arrangements.
If the tasks of these people were normally arranged by official business, they would definitely be notified in advance, instead of notifying them temporarily before the official ship departed.Moreover, the errands they were assigned to each of them sounded like tasks that were forcibly arranged to send them to Hangzhou.
However, Tao Hongfang didn't know at the moment whether they were the same as himself, in addition to the mission on the surface, they also shouldered a secret mission that could not be made public.So he would not take the initiative to show them that he was probably the real reason why they were temporarily assigned tasks.
But these people are the best of the younger generation, so naturally they will not turn a blind eye to such a deliberate arrangement. For example, Ning Zijing has already noticed the unusualness of the current situation.
"Since we were all temporarily transferred to Hangzhou, it seems that the executive committee thinks something will happen there." Ha Jianyi was rough and detailed, and immediately realized that the tasks everyone received might not be that simple.
Although they have already thought that things are not that simple, after all, they have too little information, and it is difficult to figure it out for the time being.And Tao Hongfang, the only one who knew the inside story, would not take the initiative to mention the task his father entrusted to him in order to avoid leaking the secret.
The official ship had completed its replenishment at this time, and the captain also knew that these young people were of extraordinary status, so he went to the pier to greet them to board the ship.
The four of them plus the entourage, there are a total of ten people, and the cabins on the ship are quite sufficient.However, for the sake of fairness, everyone still decided the order of selecting cabins by drawing lots on the spot.
Tao Hongfang was lucky and won one of the two largest cabins on the ship.This cabin is a large suite, and his entourage, Apeng, can also stay together.
However, the cabin standard of official ships is relatively high, so other smaller cabins are not too bad. Even the four-person cabin specially provided for entourage on the ship is much better than that of ordinary merchant ships.The four of them are VIP passengers on this ship, no matter how the cabins are allocated, there is more than enough, and the order of selection is actually just a gimmick.
At the same time as everyone was allocating the rooms, the captain had already ordered the sails to be lifted and set sail from Victory Harbor.The sailors and crew on official ships generally employ veteran sea dogs with rich sailing experience, and some are even veterans who have retired from the navy, so there is nothing to say about professional skills.More than 20 sailors on board performed their duties, and the ship sailed out of Victory Harbor quickly and smoothly.
For this group of young people, they rarely have the opportunity to travel alone without the supervision of their parents.Even Ha Jianyi and Ning Zijing, who have ever left Hainan Island, have only been to Hong Kong as far as they go north.
Compared with the places they have been to before, Hangzhou, the destination this time, obviously has unusual significance, because it has been selected by the Executive Committee as the future capital of the country, and its future development prospects are limitless.
After they put down their luggage, they quickly got together in the conference room on board and discussed the common destination of the trip, Hangzhou.
"Although I have never been to Hangzhou, I can also get a glimpse of the beautiful local scenery from the many poems left by the predecessors. After arriving in Hangzhou, I must visit the West Lake." Bai Letong, who was born as a scholar, talked about The perception of Hangzhou is naturally from the perspective of literature.
Ning Zijing said: "Hangzhou is known as the first city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has been an important trade distribution center since ancient times. I have always wanted to see the famous local commerce and handicrafts."
Ha Jianyi shook his head again and again: "What you are talking about is from the previous dynasty. The most worthwhile study in Hangzhou today is of course the navy and land armies of the East China Sea under General Shi. I heard that General Shi has been in the The investment in ordnance industry has been huge, and many new weapons and equipment have been developed, especially the construction technology of naval ships, which is said to have surpassed the Sanya Shipyard."
Bai Letong argued: "How can the matter of war be compared with the handed down texts? For example, the poems of Su Shi, Yang Wanli, and Lin Sheng describing the scenery of Hangzhou will still be amazing works even after hundreds of years. But The ships built by the navy at this time may have become a pile of dead wood in a hundred years."
Tao Hongfang couldn't help but also joined the debate: "Navy warships are not as simple as shipbuilding. The executive committee has been emphasizing 'building a country with industry' over the years. Shipbuilding is also a part of our country's industry. General Wang led the fleet to the other side of the ocean. The feat of conquering the New World is based on this. These warships may be reduced to rotten wood in a hundred years, but our shipbuilding industry will not stand still. At that time, perhaps our country will be able to build new ones again. A giant steel ship like the World!"
