In early March, Lin Yan returned from the rubber base and took a boat to go north. When passing by Nanhai Port City, he stayed for a long time and chatted a lot with Bai Chen about the follow-up work.
Then she went with the convoy. The fleets came loaded with people, the second wave of immigrants, and returned loaded with sea salt and seafood.
There is a boat full of treasures, large pearls, dazzling red corals, and seafood grown in the sea.
Lin Yan had seen it personally. These things would definitely cause a sensation in Sun City, not to mention over at Tianduan Mountain.
The person in charge of the cargo fleet is Yang Gui, and Lin Yan is quite familiar with him. He was also responsible when he came.
There was nothing on the boat, so Lin Yan found Yang Gui and asked, "Are you busy?"
"You're not busy. If you want to see me for something, just call me. There's no need to come here in person." Yang Gui showed respect to Lin Yan from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I have nothing to do. I'm 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 am sure that our fleet is not only good, but also equipped with capable people. Execution The first choice for the mission is definitely us.”
"Oh, the fleet is so well-equipped, is it directly managed by the alliance?"
Yang Gui nodded proudly, "That's for sure. This fleet is under the direct jurisdiction of the Transportation Department, a department under the Ministry of Public Resources. Most of them are injured and retired soldiers, and they will obey orders absolutely. It is incomparable to those private fleets. "
"Really? Tell me, who owns the alliance and those fleets?"
Yang Guiru said, "Our fleet is numbered 101. In addition, there are three fleets under the direct control of the Transportation Department. Ship 102 is older, and the main line is the Qingyan road. 103 is equipped with 10 The second one is almost the same, mainly traveling to and from Mingcheng; the first one is equipped second only to us, taking on some urgent tasks, transporting ore, etc. In addition, there are thirteen private fleets of various sizes, among which the one with the best reputation is undoubtedly the wooden one. 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 and said with appreciation: "Yes, I understand it very clearly."
"Hey, I often run ships and have a lot of contact with these. Sometimes the mission is heavy and when there is an emergency to transfer a ship, you have to choose from these fleets. If you know more about them, you can better complete the task."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "You did a very good job. The alliance needs serious and responsible people like you."
Yang Gui grinned happily, "It's all worth it to receive your praise. Don't worry, I will work hard and strive to be the best in the future."
"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 tangled look, Lin Yan encouraged, "Just say whatever you have to say. Let's chat privately and just talk about whatever you want."
Yang Gui: "...If you ask me to say it, I will say it. You can't blame me if what I say is wrong."
"It's not strange or not, just say it. I just want to understand the situation of the fleet and know more about your work so that I can solve the problem for you."
"Okay, then I'll say it. I think the Transportation Department can't just rely on hearsay without actually understanding the situation, and can't figure out the real situation of each fleet. If anything happens to the fleet, report it to the Transportation Department, and they won't send any dispatch. When people come over, we can only solve it by urging them over and over again. If this keeps going on, everyone will gradually lose their focus."
"Oh, the people in the Transportation Department are unrealistic in their work, and they don't come to inspect 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 just know everything and just give random directions. Like when a fleet goes out, it is inevitable that they will encounter various accidental injuries. They don't Depending on the circumstances, it is determined that it is our responsibility. We have to bear the maintenance costs of the fleet ourselves, and they don't care about anything. This is unreasonable."
"You're right. I remember that the Transportation Department has special maintenance fees, which are reported to the Ministry of Finance every year. Most of them are used for the maintenance and replacement of the fleet. Why don't you pay the maintenance fees?"
Yang Gui said anxiously: "What I said is true. The same is true for other fleets. The Transportation Department said that the fleet is equipped with maintenance personnel and allows you to repair it. But our maintenance personnel have no materials. How can they repair it? Xiao Problems are easy to solve, but for big problems, we can only argue with the Transportation Department, and finally scrape together some materials to repair the ship."
"I have written down everything you said, and I will go and find out more about it when I return to Sun City. There is also a problem like this. Isn't there a supervision mechanism, but you haven't responded to it?"
"Why not? I don't know if those complaints have been received. There has been no news. We can't wait, and gradually we have given up hope."
…
During the sixteen-day journey, Lin Yan chatted with everyone on the boat one by one and made a rough judgment in his mind.
The Transportation Department is just a branch of the Ministry of Public Resources, and the existing problems are not small. Seeing the big from the small, she has to think deeply about the current situation of the alliance.
Upon arriving at Sun City, Lin Yan went straight to the Arbitration Court.
Shuisheng was discussing something 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: "You go ahead and do your work."
After everyone had finished leaving, he said, "Why did you come back suddenly? What happened?"
"Have you seen the big pearls and coral trees in Nanhai Port City?"
Shuisheng blinked his eyes in confusion and shook his head.
"Let's go, let's take you to broaden your horizons."
Shuisheng was dragged to the warehouse by Lin Yan. The goods on the ship were being moved and put into the warehouse. The goods were in a dazzling fiery red color.
Lin Yan: "It's better to take a closer look and see what's in the box over there."
Shuisheng did as he was told and immediately understood that this was the good thing Lin Yan wanted her to see.
When I saw it for the first time, I was really shocked. The bright colors shocked my eyes and made people want to keep it as their own.
Lin Yan smiled and asked, "How did you feel after watching it?"
"It looks good and will be popular as a decoration."
Lin Yan picked up a bright white pearl and said, "Guess how much this will cost?"
Shuisheng said cautiously: "Bajiao?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "In Nanhai Port City, the selling price is five times what you guessed."
"It's so expensive, will 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. Not many are rich. They can all sell it for such a high price. If they were in Sun City , where are you at Tianduan Mountain?"
Shui Sheng had a bright mind and immediately understood Lin Yan's intention, "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 Nanhai Port City. You can take a look at it first."
Looking at Lin Yan's face, Shui Sheng knew that something big had happened. This is the first time she has brought account books back.
