Chapter 2753
After many years of practical application, the steam engine sailboat has become a relatively mature means of transportation in Haihan.Especially in the inland river environment with relatively stable hydrological conditions, motor sailboats have gradually replaced traditional sailboats in some areas in the south by virtue of their convenience and efficiency.
Although the Donghai Region has not yet deployed motor-sailboats on the Fuchun River, a large amount of industrial equipment will be transported upstream to Jiande County. It is obviously difficult to complete the transportation task only by traditional sailboats. Motor-sailboats will enter this area to undertake the transportation task. It is an inevitable development trend.
It’s just that driving a sailboat requires certain professional skills, and the hydrological conditions in the upper reaches of the Fuchuan River are relatively complicated. It’s not easy to transfer people directly from other places. We can only select some local boatmen and sailors to receive training. Only then can the sailboat be deployed here.
But the reality is just as Huang Zhichang introduced, from time to time you can see rocky beaches protruding from the river, and the boats they take have to meander along the channel explored by the predecessors in order to avoid the hidden reefs in the water.And once the wind on the river subsides, all the sailors on the ship will have to go out, paddling oars, pole poles, and when the river bank is slightly flatter, they have to go ashore to stretch their fibers, which is indeed extremely inconvenient.
But having said that, the river scenery in this section is indeed very beautiful, the river is green and clear, and the riverside peaks are stacked, like a landscape gallery.Although Beks and the others were on official business, they didn't want to pay more attention to such a beautiful scenery.Bai Letong was even more generous in his praise, even if it was only for the scenery, it was worth it, and it was their loss that Tao Hongfang and the others did not come with them.
Maybe it's God's guest. After arriving here, there is almost no river wind. It took another day to walk the dozens of miles of water.It was not until after dark that we arrived at the confluence of Lanjiang and Xin'anjiang.Downstream from here is the Fuchun River, and going up along the Xin'an River is Jiande County.On the left bank of the river is Meicheng Town, the end point of Qililong.
There are still fifty or sixty miles of waterway from Jiande County, but although there are not so many hidden reefs in this section of the river, the hydrological situation is also complicated. It is a series of several "ji"-shaped river bays, and it is still dangerous to travel at night.So for the sake of safety, I have to rest in Meicheng Town for one night before continuing on the road.
"During the meeting in Hangzhou, the map shows that Jiande County is only two hundred miles away from Hangzhou City, and there are waterways to navigate, but I didn't expect that it would take so much time on the road!" The traffic inconvenience sent out emotion.
Beks laughed and said, "You went out to sea for a few months before, and sitting on a boat for so many days, shouldn't it be nothing to you?"
Bai Letong waved his hands and said, "Because the time spent at sea was too long, my boy really didn't want to take the boat. If it weren't for the beautiful scenery along the way, my boy would have wanted to abandon the boat and go ashore long ago, and go to Jiande County by land."
Huang Zhichang continued next to him: "Master Xiaobai, if you want to travel by land, you have to go over mountains and mountains from Hangzhou. The journey is far more difficult than the water route. You should give up this idea earlier!"
Bai Letong sighed: "I come here once in a while, so I can't tell you how hard it is, but if you want to build in this ravine, you will have to stay for several years, and that is really not easy."
Huang Zhichang quickly bowed his head and responded, saying that he did not work hard, and it was his duty to serve the country.He is a technical bureaucrat with professional qualifications and a high salary. No matter how difficult the environment here is, now that the point is on his own head, he must put the completion of the task at the top of the list.
Of course, no matter how tired they are, they will definitely not be as tired as the boatmen and sailors who have worked hard all day.Bai Kesi specially asked people to go to Meicheng Town to buy several jars of rice wine back, to give these boatmen and sailors as comfort, and at the same time announced that there would be other rewards when they arrived in Jiande County tomorrow.
The sailors were overjoyed and thanked Beks for the reward one after another.After each person drank two bowls of rice wine, the snoring of these boats could be heard all over the river bank.
The next day the weather was fine, and the wind finally picked up on the river, and the speed of travel was much faster than the previous day.It only took more than half a day to travel the sixty-mile waterway from Meicheng Town to the county seat.
The county seat of Jiande County is located on an alluvial plain among the mountains. The Xin'an River circles an arc from south to north outside the county seat, and then turns eastward.Although it looks like a small county town in the mountains, in fact, the government offices of Yanzhou Prefecture and all official agencies are located here, which can be regarded as a small regional center.
Zhang He, the magistrate of Yanzhou, had already led a group of subordinates to wait on the pier for a long time. He hurried all the way, and returned to Jiande a day and a half earlier than Bai Kesi and his party, which can be regarded as gaining precious time to prepare for the reception work.Waiting at the pier with these officials, there are thousands of local people organized in advance.
Although Bai Kesi behaved calmly towards this kind of stereotyped reception activities, Zhang He was able to serve as an official in two dynasties, so he naturally understood the situation clearly. His boss might not care whether this kind of activity was organized lively or not, but he absolutely had to act arrange.
Whether the reception activities are run well or not is a matter of ability, but whether it is done or not is a matter of attitude.Now is the time for Zhang He to show his loyalty to Hai Han, how could he let go of such a rare opportunity to show his loyalty.
Beks did not show too much enthusiasm for the remaining local officials. He had communicated with Shi Diwen before he came, and he generally knew that these officials were still in the investigation period, and their abilities and positions were still to be seen, so there was no need to rush to buy people's hearts. .
Of course, in addition to these remaining officials from the previous dynasty, a group of civil and military officials from Haihan have already settled in the local area.Among them, the military officer is an army lieutenant and company commander in the East China Sea Region, while the civilian officials are basically technocrats like Huang Zhichang.It can be seen from this that the local administrative affairs are still in charge of the remaining officials, while the officials sent by Haihan have a unified task, that is, several engineering projects that are under construction or will be constructed in Jiande County.
Zhang He had met Bai Kesi in Hangzhou before, and he also knew that this big man from the capital was more pragmatic, so at the reception banquet, he took the initiative to introduce some information about Yanzhou Prefecture and Jiande County.
The territory of Yanzhou Prefecture is dominated by mountains and hills, and the area of cultivated land is not too much. It is far inferior to Shaoxing, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other places in the lower reaches of the Qiantang River. The security of food and clothing is not a problem.And this time the executive committee decided to carry out large-scale construction projects in the territory of Yanzhou Prefecture, which brought a new opportunity for development here.
