Palembang Pier is not small. It can dock hundreds of ships at a time. It covers an area of dozens of miles, and the edges are almost invisible at a glance.
But Palembang Pier is not as dirty and messy as ordinary seaport terminals.
The ground is all made of hard concrete, clean and tidy without much dirt. Lifu who goes to and from the pier is also clean. Although it is inevitable to be stained with dirt after working, there is no weird smell like other pier Lifu's that is hard to handle.
The most distinctive features of Palembang Terminal are the tall animal-powered and water-powered hybrid tower cranes and the neatly arranged warehouse area not far away.
With the hybrid animal-powered and hydraulic tower cranes, goods on sea-going ships can be easily loaded. As for the neat rows of warehouses on the pier, they are composed of solid wooden boxes. A single square wooden box can
Load at least 2,000 kilograms of rice and cargo of the same weight, and use railcars and tower cranes to easily send them to ships docked at the dock.
Moreover, the terminal has various tools at its disposal, which makes it very convenient to help ship goods, and the efficiency is several times that of other terminals.
The entire terminal is well organized and orderly, and the management method is obviously very smart and effective. People can't help but have a good impression of Palembang Pier.
The noble man who has just arrived at Palembang Pier has a great impression of Palembang Pier.
"It is indeed a dock under the management of the chief minister of the cabinet. The orderliness is very admirable!"
After taking a clear look at the situation at the dock, the man, under the protection of the guards, went directly to the conspicuous dock management office to report his identity and seal, and at the same time proposed the idea of meeting the great master.
"Prince Zhongshun's people are here?"
The elder received the news quickly, with a look of amusement on his face.
Prince Zhongshun was instigated by him and came to Nanyang more than ten years ahead of him.
According to the reports from the merchants, this man is doing quite well in Luzon Island. He currently occupies most of the island. I believe it won't take long to completely occupy the big island of Luzon.
Prince Zhongshun also built a new city on Luzon Island. Over the years, immigrants from the Central Plains have joined, and the number of Central Plains people under his control is approaching five million. In addition, the island of Luzon itself is rich in resources and has huge development potential.
It's just a pity that Prince Zhongshun's structure is average. He doesn't think about continuing to expand. Instead, he concentrates on farming on his own territory, but he doesn't know what the current situation is.
The elder met the envoy, an acquaintance whom he had not seen for nearly twenty years.
The atmosphere was very unfamiliar at first, but after talking for a while, the atmosphere became more familiar. The messenger got straight to the point and made his intentions clear.
It turned out that Prince Zhongshun felt that his overseas foundation was stable and his strength was quite strong. He was thinking of returning to the Central Plains of Daqi to ask for a title from the Emperor of Daqi.
Not only Prince Zhongshun had this idea, but so did Prince Yi Zhong. He was also very prosperous in Mindanao. He governed three million people and supported one hundred thousand troops. It was time for him to "return home in glory."
It’s not impossible to go back, so just go back!
The eldest master didn't have much thought about this. Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yi Zhong showed too much concern. Apparently they were still brooding in their hearts, and they still couldn't let go of the fact that the throne fell into the hands of the present.
A date was agreed upon to return together, and the envoy left without staying any longer. As expected, the envoy from King Yizhong arrived shortly after, and they also talked about returning to Daqi to ask for the seal.
These two guys are so obsessed with each other!
"Father, do you want to go back to Daqi?"
After hearing the news, Jia Cong hurried back from outside and asked directly after meeting.
"The two princes sent envoys to invite you. There's nothing wrong with going back and taking a look!"
The elder chuckled and said leisurely: "I'm not interested in any titles, but I can try to discuss with the court whether we can take the initiative to recruit poor people from the northwest!"
The number of people under his command is still too small. Although the system formulated by the great master has almost reached its limit in governing nearly two million people, but compared to a large island that covers five or six provinces in the Central Plains, such a
The number of civilians is too small.
Up to now, the territory that the big boss can really control is just a certain coastal edge of Kalimantan Island. The total area is only a few hundred square kilometers, which is really nothing.
You must know that according to modern accurate measurement data, the area of Kalimantan Island is more than 700,000 square kilometers. Except for the undulating mountains and forests in the center, the rest of the island is mostly fertile plains.
Even if the productivity has not developed to the level of industrial civilization, the living environment of the big island is so good that it can easily accommodate hundreds of millions of people as long as it is fully developed.
"Really? That's great!"
Jia Cong's face was full of joy and he said with a smile: "If we can get a large number of poor people from the Central Plains, our tentacles can quickly extend to the island!"
Speaking of this, he said helplessly: "Those natives hiding in the mountains and forests are really annoying. They pop up from time to time and attack our towns here. They are not a big threat but they are extremely disgusting!"
When we arrived on the island of Kalimantan, the big boss, as the leader, was only responsible for the overall planning, while Jia Cong was the specific executor. One person was worth more than ten thousand people.
Although there is endless work to do every day, Jia Cong enjoys it, which is much more comfortable than hanging around in the officialdom of Daqi.
There is no need to worry about the backlash of colleagues, nor to care about the opinions and thoughts of others, nor to worry about the taboos of certain interest groups. As long as he has the ability, he can do whatever he wants and paint on a piece of white paper. That kind of wanton publicity is not too much.
Cool.
After personally experiencing the political methods of the great master, Jia Cong studied hard and made great progress.
Everything on Kalimantan Island is very different from the Central Plains of Daqi, but in his opinion, the management methods are much better than those of the Central Plains, at least in terms of the level of mobilizing people's power.
Moreover, he will be the leader of the giant island in the future. When the island's population exceeds ten million, according to the elder, it is not a bad idea to become the king of the island.
In the future, he and his descendants will have astonishing wealth that lasts for dozens of generations. The beautiful prospect of being the master of an island and ruling millions of people makes Jia Cong always in a state of high spirits, full of energy and perfection in everything he does, and working for others.
The feeling is very different from building a home for yourself.
I originally thought that I would live a hard life when I went to sea with the old man, but I didn't expect that the hard life would only be the period of discomfort when I first came to the island, and I would not experience any pain after that.
The nearly 10,000 people who accompanied the ship, as well as the numerous guards and the millions of people who had arrived on the island long ago, were enough for their family to live a life as nourishing as that in the capital.
…
The entire Qi Dynasty was in a state of shock, and the court in the capital was even more shaken.
The envoys of Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yi Zhong, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly appeared off the coast of Tongzhou with thirty warships. While sending a large gift to the court, they forcefully demanded that the court grant titles to the two princes.
What they want is not a title given to the dead, but a country title similar to Zong Zhou’s title!
Only then did the court officials know that Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yi Zhong were not dead, but had gone overseas to expand their territory. This was really hard to accept.
Now that they have laid a foundation overseas, they are sending envoys back to Daqi. This is to show off to the present. Their strength is so strong that no title can be awarded.
Is it possible that if they are not banned now, their overseas foundation will fall apart?
What shocked the courtiers even more was that the eldest gentleman who returned with the two princes turned out to be the elder who had disappeared for five years.
This time, the three parties that have successfully established a foothold in the outer sea have jointly formed a fleet of thirty ships to directly threaten the capital.
The courage of the three families is astonishing, which is a shame for the current generation and the court.
However, the imperial court really had nothing to do with their ships and warships.
It was the most powerful Guangdong navy in the hands of the imperial court. Although its scale was not small, most of them were only offshore warships, which were incomparable to the ocean-going warships stationed outside Tongzhou.
Because of this powerful ocean-going warship, the atmosphere under martial law in the capital was tense. However, the imperial court did not have a strong navy to intercept it, so it could only watch the fleet of ocean-going warships show off its power in the offshore waters.
Now furious but helpless, all the courtiers showed anger on their faces, but secretly they had some thoughts.
Not to mention the two nobles of the emperor, Prince Zhongshun and Prince Uizhong. They are already very powerful and may even aspire to the title of Ninth Five-Year Plan. The important ministers in the court are incomparable to them, but what about Marquis Jia En?
He only served as the chief minister of the cabinet for six or seven years. It is true that he started Daqi's current prosperous age. At this time, Daqi has completely entered its prosperous age. The power in the hands of the subsequent chief ministers of the cabinet can be used.
The resources are much greater than what the big boss originally had.
At present, the big master can establish a foundation overseas. Regardless of whether everyone agrees with it or not, he is one of the overlords in the foreign seas and can claim to be the existence of the royal system alone. If the big master can do this, the big bosses in the cabinet can also do it, even better than
The old man has done better.
Not only did the big bosses in the cabinet move, but the news spread and even the governors of the provinces started to take action.
Anyone who has great ambitions in his heart, or who has no hope for his future future, will want to go out to sea to try his luck, maybe he can make a name for himself.
In addition to the important officials in the court and local governments who are interested, the most active ones are probably the members of the clan. They are the ones who are eager to break away from the control of the Da Qi royal family and establish a foundation overseas.
Although their strength is not comparable to that of Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yi Zhong, they are still a quite powerful force together.
If a single family is unable to roam the outer seas, it is the same as joining together to occupy a territory and then establishing a vassal state based on the size of their power.
Even today's grown-up sons, some princes who feel that they are not strong enough to compete for the throne, have also begun to think about getting a share of the offshore pie. If they can be the masters of their own country and nourish themselves, why should they shrink to being grandsons in the capital?
