Chapter 471 Yuncang Port Ferry

The county seat of Yuncang Port and the ferry port are not separate.

Instead, they are connected by a huge and noisy commercial street.

On the left are rows of houses in the county town, and across this street, on the right is the port where the spectacular cross-continental ferry is docked.

There is an endless stream of people walking back and forth here.

On some ferries carrying cargo, you can see many workers loading and unloading cargo.

Many family businesses have their own stores here, each planning their trade transactions.

This kind of scene made Shen Mu feel a little emotional.

In fact, as for the development of Fengjiang City, Chen Mu felt that he had done a good enough job. He thought that with his little creativity, he could put the economy at the forefront of all counties.

But now after seeing Yuncang Port, he finally understood that he still underestimated this county with a ferry port.

The advantages of geographical location and the real power of the transportation core are much more durable than the gimmicks of Dongtian Paradise.

Whether it is the flow of people or the proportion of family business here, it is unmatched by Fengjiang.

To put it bluntly, it is because of the Secret Trial Realm and the Paradise of Cave Heaven that you closed the city to attract a large number of monks there.

But attracting monks is not enough. Without a large family business to settle in, it will still not develop.

The county that determines whether some business families are willing or optimistic about its development prospects must at least have two prerequisites: transportation and security.

With the current conditions of the closed city, let alone transportation, there would be no family businessmen willing to come to a place where a battle had to be fought outside the city every two days.

The settlement of a sect station like Wuliang Mountain is nothing more than a fancy to Shen Mu's ability and certain projects in Fengjiang City, such as the Guimen Pass Trial Secret Realm, etc.

If there is no deadwood, the dogs may not go.

Chen Mu was slightly shocked.

I have been working hard for the past two years, relying on Cave Paradise and various other gimmicks, and I can barely make ends meet.

In the end, this is not as big a benefit as a cross-continental ferry.

I used to be very confident before, but now I realize that I am actually a bit out of my depth.

Of course, this is just a sentiment.

After all, Yuncang Port is now in Shenmu's possession.

After it is officially divided into feudal territories and the home system is expanded and bound, there may be more interesting development paths.

But before that.

This Yuncang Port may need a major reshuffle.

Just when Shen Mu and others arrived at Yuncang Port.

Cao Zhengxiang has also informed Shen Mu of all the information collected about Yuncang Port through Tianyin Lu, giving him a general understanding and preparation.

Yuncang Port is one of the three ferry ports in Dali.

It is assigned to the direct jurisdiction of Yuncang County.

The county magistrate of Yuncang is Cai Dumao, the Minister of Household Affairs who was transferred from the capital five years ago.

It seems that the official position is discounted, but in fact, this is a good position given to him by the Dali family, and he is very fat.

There were three major families involved in the ferry business in the Dali Dynasty, one of which was the Cai family of Cai Dumao.

The other two are the Sun family and the winner.

Although this number may seem a bit small, in fact, there are not many people in the world who can handle the cross-continental ferry business.

The cost of building a cross-continental ferry is extremely expensive.

Not to mention the various rare materials used in it, as well as the talisman formations, maintenance, etc.

Let's just say that the operation of the ferry is also a major event.

Just imagine, if a ferry wants to fly to two places, it needs to open up the connection between the ports of the two places, and assign manpower to move in and carry out handovers. This is a very cumbersome procedure.

According to secular rules, you need to pay homage to the pier. If you look for a monk circle, you need to pay an offering.

In addition, safety during operations also costs a lot of money.

You need to train monks from your own family, and you also need to invite guests from other sects, because maintaining the safe flight of the ferry is not something that only three or two monks can do.

Therefore, an ordinary ferry must be equipped with at least twenty or thirty monks.

And for those above the middle martial arts realm, there are at least ten people.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure safety along the way.

There are special Talisman Formation monks who control the ferry. These people's salary may be the highest. Controlling the flying formation to drive the ferry is a physically demanding job.

So not everyone can do it.

In short, there are many details on the doorways on the cross-continental ferries. Most families in the dynasty can operate two or three cross-continental ferries at the same time, which is very impressive.

In some cases, a ferry boat can feed the entire family.

certainly,

Cross-continental ferries are profitable, or in other words, profitable.

In addition to trade, it actually also depends on the ferry flight route planned by the family and the distance.

A very simple truth.

If a certain ferry in Yuncang Port can fly directly to China, there is no doubt that it can be regarded as the leader in this area.

Because the Middle-earth China is too far away, the formation on an ordinary ferry cannot support that long, and it needs to cross the southwest Dragon Sea, which is really too dangerous.

So most of them take off from Yuncang Port, and then go to Beicangzhou or Xichuzhou Technical High School, and then transfer to a larger ferry to China.

Currently, there are five ferries in Yuncang Port.

The Cai family, the Sun family, the winner, each have a port.

The ferries operated by these three companies are half passenger and half transport business.

Half of it is used to transport monks on long distances, and the other half is used to transport goods for trade, so compared to ferries from other ports, the conditions may be a bit worse.

Fortunately, the ferry fare is not expensive, so it is favored by many monks who are strapped for money but want to travel.

The other two boats, one is a ferry opened by the royal family of the Dali Dynasty.

The route is direct to Xichuzhou and is dedicated to carrying passengers.

The other one is a temporary ferry docking port. It is not a fixed ferry, but a temporary port space left when the occasional passing ferry docks. However, when there is no vacancy, there will be a ferry passing by.

There are many routes for this type of ferry, and some may go to Baidi City.

This is the current situation with ferries.

In addition to the superficial new move, Cao Zhengxiang also received an additional piece of information.

That is Cai Dumao, the magistrate of Yuncang County, who seems to want to completely monopolize the trade of Yuncang Port.

I want to use the county magistrate's convenience to crowd out the ferries of several families from here.

In the past six months, he has united with the ports and families of other dynasties to secretly squeeze out the other two competitors.

The key seems to be hindering it, causing the Sun family and the winner to confront each other.

If Chen Mu hadn't taken over Yuncang Port at this time, he would have made a cross.

Maybe this Cai Dumao will succeed.

Although Yuncang Port is really not that big compared to other places.

But the income this year was also quite terrifying.

The key is that it is extremely stable, and all the money received is real incense money.
