For almost the whole day, the sound of horns could be heard all around Langya Bay.

One after another, the officers and soldiers of the Maritime Academy who were practicing in the bay and offshore returned to the port one after another to move lifting military supplies. The managers and commanders at all levels also took their students to line up on the dock. The ship workers checked the operation status of various equipment such as ship masts, sailing, boats, oars, rudders, cable telescopes, and crews sorted out and inspected the logistics facilities such as food, drinking, water, and bedding in each cabin.

Everything seemed busy but was still orderly, but it was a bit stricter than the daily training requirements. All the boatmen and crew members knew that they were going to be inspected by Qinghehou, and they were all excited.

When the entire Maritime Academy was mobilizing, the entire Langya Coast was excited and cheering, because the Hou Qinghe, accompanied by Hu Kuan and other officials and officials involved in the construction of Langya Port, inspected the construction of the entire Langya Port.

There are more than 40 officials from the three provinces and six ministries and Shaofu governments involved in the construction of the port. In addition, there are hundreds of craftsmen and craftsmen dispatched by the Ministry of Works and the Academy of Sciences, there are more than ten contractors participating in the bidding of the entire port, and more than 100 construction teams. The port infrastructure, docks, warehouses, office spaces of various government offices, living and entertainment facilities, maintenance factories, gantry cranes, logistics auxiliary facilities and other projects are all contracted in sections. The project command is unified to plan and construct, and the supervisory team formed by the Ministry of Works and the Academy of Sciences is unified to supervise. Therefore, although the beaches on the entire coast are crowded with people, there are many hulls, the towers are flying, the sound of flags, the sound of trumpets, the sound of beatings and scoldings and the sound of trumpets are intertwined to form an extremely noisy and noisy atmosphere, but in this busy and chaos, everything is in order, and all projects are moving forward in an orderly manner according to the construction goals.

"The Marquis is here~~"

Accompanied by a group of officials, Chen Xu would inevitably cause joy in the construction site every time he went to. Both craftsmen, craftsmen, civil servants, prisoners, and even slaves stopped to cheer and greet him.

The people are happy because they not only have enough money to build a harbor every day, but also have five or six coins to get, which is incomparable to the pure corvee service in the past.

The prisoner is happy that as long as the project is completed successfully, almost everyone will receive a significant reduction in sentence.

As for slaves, as long as they perform well and accumulate enough labor points, they can redeem themselves. This is another almost the only opportunity to redeem themselves in addition to going to the battlefield to kill enemies. This opportunity was proposed by the Marquis of Qinghe, who is currently patrolling the harbor project, in the court, and was also approved by the First Emperor.

Chen Xu walked around to watch, and at the same time, he waved to the enthusiastic crowd.

"It's not bad, the atmosphere is very warm, the dispatch is very reasonable, everyone is doing very well, I am very satisfied with this!"

Facing the situation seen in front of him, Chen Xu praised him very much.

The journey from Jiangling to Wuzhong to Juzhang Guangxi to Langya, the construction of river ports and seaports in all places is not as lively and rapid as seen in front of you.

"Mr. Marquis, the biggest problem at the moment is that there is not enough manpower. The entire harbor will have to complete the first phase of the project within two years. Kuan believes that at least 80,000 people are needed, but now only 50,000 people..." Hu Kuan said anxiously next to him.

"Although you are telling the truth, this marquis cannot create tens of thousands of people for you. There are currently shortages of people across the country. You try to optimize the project plan and arrange more important and important parts. By the way, the Maritime Academy will send troops to conquer North Korea soon, and maybe a lot of prisoners of war will be brought back. You can first submit a memorial and let the Ministry of Revenue make arrangements in advance..."

"Hey, the Marquis woke up the dreamer with a word. I will go to Dean Cao to discuss the details later. We have to intercept the part in advance..." Hu Kuan was instantly surprised and danced with surprise.

"Advance intercepting, is there such a slutty operation?" Chen Xu was stunned.

"Hehe, the marquis doesn't know anything. A few months ago, General Li Xin sent back 20,000 prisoners of war from the Western Regions. We were building the Xianyang South Gate Wharf at that time, and there were very few people. So President Zhang and I found Ling Fan Gui, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and intercepted 1,500 people in advance, and then repaired the south wharf in the city in a month!" Hu Kuan was very proud.

"Aren't Fan Gui's violation of regulations afraid that Feng Xiang and His Majesty will hammer him?" Chen Xu was even more surprised.

You should know that although many laws have begun to loosen or even cancel the economic prosperity and development of the Qin Dynasty, the management of officials has not been relaxed, especially the crackdown and review of corruption, bribery, collusion between officials and businessmen, and personal gains for personal gains. Fortunately, the laws of the Qin Dynasty have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In recent years, no serious violations have been discovered. As for ordinary human relations, Chen Xu did not intend to take care of them. The Qin Dynasty is too big and the situation is too complicated. In this wilderness era when communication is basically yelling and transportation is basically dependent on traveling, everything can only be settled.

Once it becomes a habit, it actually goes with the flow.

What's more, the sages have said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are observant, there will be no disciples. In this era of vigorous development, when human nature and thought are equally complex, it is not in line with the trend of being too strict.

The implementation of a slightly loose Huang-Lao technique based on the rule of etiquette and law will greatly improve people's livelihood and folk sentiment. Moreover, the knowledgeable and cultural gentry class is still relatively ethical, unlike the dark and decadent officialdom in later generations.

But looseness is looseness. Chen Xu felt that it was not as relaxed as Hu Kuan said. Although the fifth-rank ministers had a lot of power, they did not make the decision to send 1,500 slaves without saying hello to the court.

"Are there any shameful acts between you?" Chen Xu stopped in confusion.

"Hehe, Fan Gui is naturally afraid of being punished by Feng Xiang and His Majesty. He was unwilling to do so, but his subordinates were in a hurry to take power, so he secretly sent him a musket..." Hu Kuan smiled and whispered in Chen Xu's ear.

Chen Xu's face turned dark in an instant, "This matter will not be an example. The state-owned legal family has family rules. It seems that Fan Gui should change to another local official!"

"What the Marquis said is that this guy has no moral integrity at all, and he asked me to take him to Chunfangyuan for a drink afterwards!" Hu Kuanyi nodded vigorously.

Chen Xu:...

Although it is a life attitude of life for me to die, Chen Xu has done the matter of not admitting his pants, but Chen Xu, who is as shameless as Hu Kuan, is the first to see Chen Xu.

"The problem of manpower is not the biggest problem. It doesn't matter if you are slower. The most important thing is the quality of the project and construction safety. There is a shortage of people everywhere now. One more person will give you more strength. Strengthen safety management and supervision, and try to ensure that there is no accident!"

"Don't worry, all construction teams have supervisors and supervisors, and all construction sites have construction safety permit regulations. Since the start of construction, less than ten people have been killed or injured!" An official wearing a safety helmet next to Hu Kuan said quickly.

"Well, you can also consider the indigenous people of Yingzhou and North Korea. There are many caravans between the Central Plains and Yingzhou. They can recruit some Yingzhou and North Koreans to work on the construction site. Their treatment is the same as that of ordinary civilians. There are officials in the Ministry of Revenue here!" Chen Xu turned around and asked.

"Yes, the subordinate officials are Gongcao Zuning, the Ministry of Revenue Branch's Office. I wonder what the marquis has to give?" A middle-aged man wearing a blue official uniform quickly stood up and bowed.

"It's good to be there. Zu Gongcao wrote a memorial to the court for this matter, requesting to increase the recruitment and recruitment orders for the indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula and Yingzhou, and encourage private merchant ships to transport these people to Langya to participate in the construction of seaports and other places. There is no excessive discrimination policy. If it performs well, settlement in the Central Plains can be allowed after inspection. Local officials cooperate with the allocation of land and real estate for resettlement. As for other situations, it is to deal with the old rules of the Four Barbarians!"

"Yes, the official will do it immediately!" Zu Ning bowed and retreated.

"Director Hu wrote a memorial in advance to send it to the capital without complaining, and did not report it, and violated the Qin Dynasty's laws and regulations. This kind of thing should not happen again!" Chen Xu reminded Hu Kuan again.

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for the messenger to send the memorial back tomorrow!" Hu Kuan smiled and bowed to agree.

After some advice, a group of people kept patrolling along the coast, looking at the supporting areas such as harbor docks, logistics warehouses, customs offices, accommodation repairs, money houses and other living facilities, and a day passed.

In the evening, a group of officials in Langya County, a group of officials involved in the construction of the harbor, the heads of the customs, taxation, police stations, trade and other departments in the preparations, a group of senior leaders of the Maritime Academy, as well as some gentry, merchants, and martyrs from Langya, and more than 200 representatives from all walks of life gathered in the open space outside the staff canteen of the harbor construction project command center. More than ten simple long wooden tables were arranged into an open-air food stall.

The dinner that Chen Xu had already arranged after he arrived in Langya was simple but very lively. There were many dishes, including sauce clams, scallions, razor clams, dried fried hairtail fish, steamed grouper, cold kelp, iron plate squid, water-burned prawns, cumin lamb chops, braised dog meat and other large pots, and they were even served on the dining table. There were even some other local fruits, vegetables, and seafood unique to Langya. Fry, fried, braised and roasted cooking methods. Although they had not eaten a bite, the strong fragrance had aroused everyone's appetite.

Since having eaten a variety of strange seafood feasts cooked by Chen Xu personally in Zhoushan, Cao Shen and others came back this time, naturally they refused to continue the usual meals that were unwilling to eat every day. In addition, the introduction of this new seafood in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, the new seafood making methods have quickly begun to spread along the southeast coast.

Cao Shen and Hu Kuan, rich and powerful food lovers, are the biggest driving force, which has also led to the increase in income of local fishermen. The clams, which were not valuable in the past, were picked up on the beach every day, and then used baskets to sell them at various canteens on the construction site. One pound is three pounds. Although the price is cheap, even the elderly and children can make several pounds a day, which is a good income for poor families over a long period of time.

These shells are fried and sold in the canteen. Because they taste good and are cheap, they are a big spoon per coin. Many management teams with good income must eat every meal. Even ordinary migrant workers will have a tooth-beating ceremony every now and then, satisfying their yearning for this seafood delicacy taught by Qinghehou.

The entire Langya Port, along with different units such as the shipyard and the Maritime Academy, gathered more than 80,000 people in this small coastal area of ​​more than ten miles, so the consumption was also amazing. After a month, all the seashells on the nearby beaches were picked up, and many fishermen rowed to nearby islands or beaches farther away to search.
