survival in the wilderness

At the beginning of March, Lin Yan returned from the rubber base and went north by boat. When he passed by Nanhai Port City, he stayed for half a day and chatted with Bai Chen about the follow-up work.

Then she went with the convoy.When the fleet came, it was full of people, the second batch of people who migrated here, and when they returned, they were full of sea salt and seafood.

Among them is a boat full of treasures, big pearls, fiery red and dazzling corals, and seafood raised in sea water.

Lin Yan has seen it himself, these things will definitely cause a sensation in Sun City, let alone in Tianduan Mountain.

The person in charge of the cargo fleet is Yang Gui, and Lin Yan is quite familiar with him.He was also in charge when it came.

Nothing happened on board, Lin Yan found Yang Gui, "Are you busy?"

"It's not busy. If you have something to do with me, just call me. Why don't you come here yourself." Yang Gui respected Lin Yan from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm fine, just chatting with you. How many ships are there in our fleet?"

"Twelve ships, all new ships, the best fleet in the alliance." Yang Gui looked proud, "To tell you the truth, I'm sure that our fleet not only has good ships, but also the people who are assigned are capable. Execution We must be the first choice for the task.”

"Oh, the fleet is so well equipped, is this under the direct management of the alliance?"

Yang Gui nodded proudly, "That's for sure. This fleet is under the direct jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation, a department under the Ministry of Public Resources. Most of them are wounded and retired soldiers. They absolutely obey orders. It is incomparable to those private fleets. "

"Really, tell me, who owns the alliance and those fleets?"

Yang Gui is like a treasure, "our fleet numbered [-], in addition, there are three other fleets under the direct management of the Transport Department. The [-] ship is a bit old, and the main line is the Qingyan road. The [-] equipment and the [-] The two are about the same, mainly going to and from Mingcheng; the equipment of [-] is second only to us, and it undertakes some urgent tasks, transporting ore, etc. In addition, there are [-] private fleets, large and small, among which the best reputation is Wooden. Home, equipped with two new ships, and seven old ships, the remaining fleet is much worse, and some only have two old ships to serve as a fleet."

Lin Yan nodded while listening, appreciating: "That's right, I understand it very clearly."

"Hey, I often travel on ships, and I have a lot of contact with these. Sometimes the task is heavy, and when an emergency ship is transferred, it is necessary to choose from these fleets. If you know more about it, you will be able to complete the task better."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "You have done a very good job. The alliance needs serious and responsible people like you."

Yang Gui grinned happily, "It's all worth it to get your praise. Don't worry, I will work hard in the future and strive to do my best."

"Okay, I believe you can do it. You are also an old man in the industry. Do you think there is room for improvement in fleet management?"

Seeing Yang Gui's conflicted appearance, Lin Yan encouraged him, "Just say what you want, let's chat in private, and talk casually."

Yang Gui: "...you tell me to say it, then I will say it. You can't blame me for what you say is wrong."

"It's not strange, you can just say it. I just want to know about the situation of the fleet. Only by knowing more about your work can I solve the problem for you."

"Okay, then I'll say it. I think the transportation department can't just rely on hearing, without actually understanding the situation, and can't figure out the real situation of each fleet. If there is anything wrong with the fleet, report it to the transportation department, and they will not send When people come, we can only solve it by urging us over and over again. If this continues, everyone's minds will gradually loosen up."

"Oh, the people in the Transportation Department don't work practically, and they don't come to check on the fleet?"

Yang Gui nodded, "I know that the people in the transportation department are all educated people, we can't compare, but we can't understand everything, just order it casually. Like a fleet going out, it is inevitable that they will encounter various accidental injuries. Depending on the situation, it is our responsibility to determine that the maintenance costs of the fleet should be borne by us, and they don’t care about anything, which is unreasonable.”

"You're right. I remember that the Transportation Department has a special maintenance fee, which is reported to the Ministry of Finance every year. Most of it is used for the maintenance and replacement of the fleet. How come you don't pay the maintenance fee?"

Yang Gui said anxiously: "What I said is true, and other fleets are also like this. The transportation department said that the fleet is equipped with maintenance personnel and let them repair it by themselves. But our maintenance personnel do not have materials, what can they do to repair it? Problems are easy to solve, but big problems can only be wrought with the transportation department, and finally we can scrape together some materials and repair the ship.”

"I've written down everything you said. When I get back to Sun City, I'll check it out. There are still issues like this. Didn't you have a supervisory mechanism? Didn't you respond?"

"Why not, and I don't know if those complaints have been received, and there has been no news. We can't wait, and we will gradually give up hope."

……

During the [-]-day journey, Lin Yan chatted with the people on board one by one, and came to a rough conclusion in his mind.

The Department of Transportation is just a branch of the Ministry of Public Resources, and the existing problems are not small. Seeing the big from the small, she had to think deeply about the status quo of the alliance.

As soon as he arrived in Sun City, Lin Yan went straight to the Arbitration Court.

Shui Sheng was discussing with his subordinates, everyone was surprised when they saw Lin Yan, they didn't expect her to appear suddenly.

Two seconds later, he said calmly, "Go and do your work first."

After the people left, he said: "Why did you come back suddenly, what happened?"

"Have you seen the big pearl and coral trees in South Harbor City?"

Shui Sheng blinked his eyes suspiciously, very puzzled, and shook his head.

"Go, take you to open your eyes."

Shuisheng was dragged by Lin Yan to the warehouse, where the goods on the ship were being transported into the warehouse, and the purpose of entering was the dazzling fiery red color.

Lin Yan: "It's better to take a closer look. There are also things in the box over there."

Shui Sheng did as he did, and immediately understood that this was the good thing Lin Yan showed her.

The first time I saw it, it was really shocking. The bright colors hit the eyeballs, and people couldn't help but want to keep it for themselves.

Lin Yan asked with a smile, "How do you feel after seeing it?"

"Looking good, as a decoration, it will definitely be sought after by people."

Lin Yan picked up a bright white pearl, "Guess how much this one sells for?"

Shui Sheng asked cautiously, "Anise?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "In Nanhai Port City, the selling price is five times what you guessed."

"It's so expensive, does anyone buy it?"

"Of course there are. There are many rich people, and there are many people who pursue such flashy things. You also know the situation in Nanhai Port City. Few of them are rich. If they can be sold at such a high price, if they are in Sun City , in Tianduan Mountain?"

Shui Sheng's mind was very bright, and he immediately understood Lin Yan's intentions, "So, you brought these back to fill the national treasury."

"This is just one of the purposes. I brought back the tax account books of South Sea Port City, you can look at them first."

Seeing Lin Yan's face, Shui Sheng knew something serious had happened.This was the first time she brought back the account books.
