DAY 175 The Future

Early the next morning, the sand fleet, which had rested for the night at Eagle's Mouth Bay, set sail in a hurry. This time, there were two more lucky boats in the queue.

After the Debon parted ways with the fleet, someone who had stayed up all night watching the movie just said in a muffled voice: "Go back to port." Then he went back to the cabin to sleep.

The remaining people set sail and anchored, and headed west along Zhoushan. The Debon, which had put away the pirate flag, was just a very inconspicuous sand ship. At noon the next day, the wooden ship quietly entered Hangzhou Bay.

.

Naturally, it is impossible for a pirate ship to park at the gate of Tangzhuang without any scruples, so the Debon is stationed at a private port in Haining County. This private port is only twenty or thirty miles away from Tangzhuang, which is what the Debon is used to.

A place to stay.

After stopping the boat and settling down, as a reward of one piece of silver, half of the people immediately went to Haining County for health care. Chen Huoding and Ma Liu took a small boat to Moyunguan. After finding Master Lu, the two parties immediately settled the contract.

Black wooden box, and then the second master left Ma Liu to report to the leader alone, while he himself wandered around and accidentally ended up in Tangzhuang.

After wandering around Tangzhuang until the market got off work, the second master slowly took a boat and arrived at the Wuxian Temple outside Hangzhou in the evening.

When he heard that his second brother had arrived, Zhou Tong was overjoyed and hurriedly came out from the back hall to greet him. He grabbed the hand of Mr. Chen who looked obviously different and laughed loudly: "Kill the chicken and cut the meat. Today you and I are going to be drunk."

Rest!”

...

By the time the food and wine were served, it was already dark. Zhou Tong already noticed something was wrong with someone, so he waved his companions away. After closing the door, the gang leader asked in a friendly voice: "Second brother, what's on your mind?"

?”

Chen Huoding had a tangled look on his face, and his eyes were filled with apologies. Hearing the elder brother's question, the second master could no longer hide it. After a "pop", the second master knelt in front of Zhou Tong: "Brother,

Chen Huoding is unfaithful and unjust, and he is abandoning his eldest brother today!"

"Huo Ding, what are you doing?" Zhou Tong was shocked when he heard this.

"Brother, Huo Ding wants to make his troops join the army and become rich with a sword and a spear!"

"Oh!" Zhou Tong slapped his thigh when he heard this: "I knew this would happen!"

"You are born with a restless temper, who knows?" Zhou Tong squatted down and held Chen Huoding's arm: "Good brother, if you quit the group, you will quit. This is a good thing. How can I hinder your future?"

"Brother, Huo Ding is always worse than a pig or a dog!"

"Alas, Pingfeng Village has been scattered since the day we came down from the mountain. Fortunately, now all the brothers have a way out. Huo Ding, you go and fight for your future. The elder brother only has joy in his heart. Don't act like a child again.

!”

After Zhou Tong said this, he helped Chen Huoding up, and then thought about it and said: "Nowadays, we are not like before. Every move we make has the rules of the upper world, and this matter must not be made public."

"Well, please come with me and kowtow in front of the old village leader's grave. Huo Ding, you were the one who took care of him back then, so you have to say hello."

When Chen Huoding heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

...

Early the next morning, a large number of beggars' gang members escorted Zhou Tong and Chen Huoding to Moyung Temple.

After meeting Master Lu, Zhou Tong explained the whole story to Master, and then solemnly testified to Master: Chen Huoding officially resigned from the Shanzhai Labor Service Company last night. Well, the two parties broke up amicably. All wages, bonuses, social security and medical insurance were paid in full, and there was no

contractual dispute.

Now, let the master take over this thing.

After Lu Cheng heard this, he was surprised at first. It was not until he interrogated Chen Er in detail that he finally understood the cause and effect.

Well, Master Lu has no choice this time. He has already decided to cut off his retreat and resigned from the original company. Naturally, the Cross-Travel Group cannot turn away talented people, right? What was the most expensive thing in the 17th century?...

Talent!

So Mr. Chen temporarily stayed in Moyunguan. As for his identity, he changed from an externally employed senior captain to the lowest-level receptionist in the company - there is no way, who told you to change jobs?

, everyone in the new company is equal, let’s start from scratch...

After this incident, Comrade Ma Liu, who had a donkey face, also took over the captaincy of the Debon as he wished.

As for the final destination of Mr. Chen... After consulting his own opinions, Lu Cheng, after exchanging telegrams with senior officials, told Chen Huoding a few days later the good news: considering the past decisions made by Comrade Chen Huoding, Lu Cheng

Due to his meritorious service, the military has agreed to accept Chen Huoding to participate in recruit training, and has given the second master a privilege: he can freely choose his military branch.

The current model of joining the army for senior officers does not include free registration: all people who enter the military ranks will be forcibly placed in a certain job based on the files established when they were in Moyunguan. Unless the person is in

In the future, you must show your expertise in certain areas, otherwise you will not change your job type.

As for Mr. Chen, a special talent, while telling him the good news, Master Lu also implicitly recommended the 6th Navy Team to Mr. Chen: a small administrative hint.

...The big office has been sparing no effort to support his own son since the day Team 6 was established. As the intelligence system where Lu Cheng works, as the top dog-legged department under the big office, it will naturally make it clear in some inconvenient ways.

Where possible, do some "little" extra work.

In this way, Chen Huoding entered the military and political system of the time-traveling forces and became an ignorant chess piece. After that, the second master stayed in Moyunguan. In order to express his "rebirth", the second master also shaved off his long and beard -

—The vicissitudes of appearance in the past concealed the second master’s true age. It was not until this moment that his true appearance was revealed that people saw that Chen Huoding was only a 25-year-old young man.

Not long after, Chen Huoding boarded the sand fleet going to the big officials on a dark night.

After wandering at sea for more than half a month, Chen Huoding arrived at the legendary Damuan Island with his ship on May 10, 1628.

...

As soon as Pu entered the Taiyuan Channel and passed by the fleet, the "Haidilao No. 1" was digging with a big shovel, which shocked the second master.

Fortunately, the second master is also a man who has watched movies all night long, and is somewhat immune to large machinery. This makes the former copycat boys who had been standing aside waiting to see the second master’s jokes not feel proud...

.

After several months of dredging in the Damuan Channel, the current navigation conditions have been greatly improved: the water depth of the South Channel, which was originally used for ships to enter and exit, has reached 5.5 meters. This depth can ensure the passage of fully loaded large Fu ships and medium-sized Galen ships.

Currently, Haidilao No. 1 is clearing the sandbar between the north and south channels. Once completed, the channel can be converted from a single lane to a two-lane.

Along the way, Erye looked greedily at the scenery on Dayuan Island: the huge piers made of red bricks, the red castle under construction in the distance, and some streamlined boats with white soft sails flying from the ship like sharp arrows.

The team passed by.

As the fleet penetrates deep into the Taijiang River, we can see the red walls in Chikan New District on the other side, getting deeper and deeper, revealing rows of bamboo and wooden roofs in the community. Camphor trees as thick as washbasins stand on the road.

Next to it, these transplanted plants have passed the adaptation period and are extending along the roads of the community.

The fleet quickly sailed through the Taijiang River, which is only 5 kilometers wide.

With the maturity of concrete technology, the first concrete gravity wharf on the Taijiang River has just been put into use in the Chikan Wharf area.

Previously, due to the lack of raw materials, all docks in Damuan were wooden pile structures - with low bearing capacity, fragile components, and difficult to repair after damage.

After enough soil and cement was produced in the kiln area, construction of a gravity dock equipped with a wooden gas crane and specially used to dock cargo ships was officially started. A large number of workers were busy on the shore of the Taijiang River for two months: first, they dug out the

Weir, then prepare the foundation, then use concrete to build a thick outer wall inside the cofferdam, and finally fill the internal space with boulders - due to the lack of steel bars, the entire pier is filled with concrete and stones.

No cargo ships came to Chikan today, so the trapezoidal wharf, which was a full 100 meters deep into the Taijiang River, easily accommodated four sand ships.

The port management and reception staff from various communities, who were already very skilled in immigration work, had gathered on the pier in large numbers, just waiting for the new arrivals to disembark.

When the swaying and languid immigrants climbed out of the cabin, they were first greeted by the hot sunshine of the subtropical island, and then the bustling Chikan Pier; sand boats and lucky boats were parked on both sides.

There are waterfowl with their heads carelessly perched on the trusses... Occasionally, these guys will drop a small fish from the Taijiang River in their mouths. In most cases, they will drop a small fish and land on people's heads...

..

More than 1,000 newcomers walked up the stone steps to the pier one after another. They had already learned to line up in Moyunguan, and soon they were led by people holding short sticks and blowing whistles, and walked towards the community in groups.

They will receive rest and deployment there. Depending on their physical recovery, generally speaking, everyone will start working in their new positions after 3-7 days.

Naturally, Chen Huoding would not go to the community with this group of people to wait for assignment. His receiving unit was different from this group of people - the recruit camp in Da Yuan Commercial Building.

More than an hour later, the most important "cargo" on the four sand ships had been unloaded. Chen Huoding finally boarded a small boat, crossed the Taijiang River again, and came to the large red pier he had just seen carefully.

on the island.

On the wooden pier of Damuan Island, there were already several old friends waiting for the second master.

The person most familiar to the second master is Wei Yuan, a mercenary who is 1.9 meters tall. He used to be a wild abbot of Moyun Temple. You must know that in the days when Wei Yuan first crossed over, he was detained in the back garden of Tangzhuang.

During those boring days, Wei Yuan could only play with guns and serve as a firearms instructor for the time travellers.

It was at that time that Second Master Chen stayed in Tangzhuang every day - he was beaten and scolded every day. In order to learn how to make a line at three o'clock and to shoot a pistol bullet, the dwarf Second Master did not know how many times he was stabbed by giants. Tell me.
Chapter completed!
