The next morning, Yang Yuxin left the camp with four soldiers and went to the Shanghai office. The camp had a small boat and two rubber boats as transportation tools, which were all on passenger and roulette boats. The small boats could accommodate up to 112 people. Due to their large capacity, they were generally used for transportation and trade. A rubber boat could carry 10 people and were generally used for transporting personnel. It can also be said that these three passenger and roulette boats are really the three treasures of travelers.

The rubber boat was very fast, and it took only more than half an hour to reach the dock where the Shanghai office was.

At this time, the Shanghai office had made great progress. Not only did it have its own dock, but it also bought the house next door, which more than doubled the area. If the dock was added, it would have been expanded by nearly five times, with more than 40 staff members. At the same time, a large number of eyeliners were developed in Shanghai. Although it cannot be said that it has fully monitored Shanghai, most of the things cannot be hidden from time travelers.

Of course, the development of the Shanghai office is related to the development of the East China government. It is precisely because of the increasing strength of the East China government that the Shanghai office has become more and more tough. On the other hand, the Shanghai office is never ruthless when facing provocations, and the wharf is actually stolen.

It turned out that when the Shanghai office started to purchase supplies, it also paid the protection fees that should be paid according to the regulations of the Thirteenth Wharf. Most local gangs in Shanghai admired overseas Chinese to defeat foreigners. They saw that they were very good at it, so they did not make things difficult for them. Sometimes they took care of the cargo ships in the Shanghai office, such as prioritizing berths, installing imperial guards, etc.

However, there are people who are ungrateful there. A gang saw that the Shanghai office purchased a lot of goods and was just a newcomer, so he wanted to get more oil and water, so he doubled the charges of the terminal. The Shanghai office naturally would not agree. The two sides negotiated twice, and not only did the other party not give up the price, but on the contrary, the price increased to three times. At this time, the Shanghai office did not want to cause trouble. At worst, your dock was just that. Anyway, there were many docks in the entire Thirteenth Dock.

Seeing that the Shanghai office did not raise prices, the gang was also not stopping at its own dock for half a month, he was immediately embarrassed and angry and sent someone to rob the two ships of the Shanghai office. Now the Shanghai office quit. This is too bullying. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. So the person in charge Liu Lantao immediately ordered to deal with the gang.

So one night, the Shanghai office sent people to attack the dock at night. After a burst of gunfire, they killed more than ten leaders of the gang. The next morning it was announced that the dock belonged to the Shanghai office, which is owned by the East China government. This incident shocked the entire Thirteenth Wharf. All the gangs realized that they were not facing an ordinary businessman, but overseas Chinese who beat foreigners to pieces. They just wiped out all the gangs and unified Thirteenth Wharf. In the past, they actually collected protection fees from them. Tigers did not show their power, and they really thought they were sick cats. I really don’t know how the word death was written.

All the gang leaders of Thirteen Dock gathered together to discuss a result, officially recognized the dock occupied by the Shanghai office, and asked the Shanghai office to manage the 13 Dock, that is, to be the leader. Everyone followed the arrangements of the Shanghai Office. Although they were controlled by others, they kept their territory after all, and they also stayed with the big tree of overseas Chinese. It was also considered a loss in the east and a muddle of harvest.

After Liu Lantao learned about it, he also recruited all the gang leaders from the Thirteenth Wharf to gather, saying that he did this because he was too bullying others and was forced to do so. Therefore, he would not be the leader of the alliance. In the future, everyone would still live in harmony. The rules of the Thirteenth Wharf were still the same. Moreover, the Shanghai office occupied this wharf only for their own ship docking and would not compete for business with other gangs.

After hearing Liu Lantao's promise, the leaders of the gang were relieved. Although they lacked the large customer of overseas Chinese, they were still able to maintain the status quo of Thirteen Docks, which was a good result. Overseas Chinese are indeed the materials for doing big things, so they all thanked each one. Therefore, the Shanghai office has its own dock, which makes it more convenient to purchase and transport supplies.

When Yang Yuxin arrived at the dock, Liu Lantao was waiting for him at the dock. After they met, they greeted each other. Yang Yuxin also asked about the situation of the film team and the negotiation team. Liu Lantao also told him that both groups had started working. The film team went to Zhangyuan Ankaidi survey site to formulate a plan for installation and renovation, while the negotiation team went to negotiate with Sheng Xuanhuai.

Yang Yuxin also nodded. It seemed that the work efficiency of these two groups was very high, but both of them seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he said, "Director Liu, what will we do next?"

Liu Lantao said: "District Mayor Yang, you just arrived here. Do you want to go to the office to have a rest first?"

Yang Yuxin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I have been here by boat all the way, and I have no walking, so there is no need to rest. If you have something to do, it is important to go to the office first. It is not too late to go to the office after the completion of the work."

Liu Lantao nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to Shanghai Daotai Yamen to receive your letter of appointment."

Yang Yuxin was stunned. Shanghai Daotai is the highest executive in Shanghai. When he arrived in Shanghai, he naturally should go to Shanghai Daotai to handle the handover procedures for the Shanghai New District, but what kind of appointment letter can be received?

Seeing Yang Yuxin's confused look, Liu Lantao couldn't help but smile and explained: "Although the Qing court agreed to transfer the land in Shanghai New District to us, it was still the Qing court in Ming Dynasty. Didn't we still have the title of Shandong Governor? So the Shanghai Daotai Yamen planned to establish Yangpu Town in the Shanghai New District and set up a inspection department, so you can serve as the inspection. This would be reasonable in Ming Dynasty. The inspector is not very big, and he is only a ninth rank, so Shanghai Daotai can be appointed directly, but we still have to go there and receive the letter of appointment. You should also meet Shanghai Daotai outside the country. You probably have to deal with it frequently in the future."

Only then did Yang Yuxin understand what was going on, and couldn't help but smile and said, "So that's the case, okay, then go and get the escort of the appointment."

After walking out of the dock, Liu Lantao led Yang Yuxin to board a four-wheeled carriage parked by the dock gate. There were two people sitting in the carriage in front and behind. The driver who drove the carriage shook the reins, and the driver who pulled the carriage shook the reins. The two horses who pulled the carriage immediately stepped out and drove the carriage to gallop.

Yang Yuxin and Liu Lantao sat side by side in the carriage. Yang Yuxin said: "How is the situation in Shanghai now? Is there a lot of pressure on public opinion?"

Liu Lantao said: "Fortunately, although the public opinion is not small this time, we are not the time to arrive in Shanghai. At that time, we have not been formally enfeoffed by the Qing court, but now it is different. No matter what, we are also the governor of Shandong who was officially enfeoffed by the imperial court. After you receive the letter of appointment, you will be the inspector department. Although the official is not a big official, it is also the official establishment of the imperial court. This is justified. In addition, our previous record has also received support from a considerable number of people. Moreover, we also have newspapers in Shanghai, which can also make our voices. In addition, it is really not a big deal in this era, at least in a short period of time, it will not have a big impact on us."

Yang Yuxin nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, I'm still worried? Because it will take about 15 days to complete the special film, I'm afraid that the public opinion pressure in Shanghai will be too great. However, the book about introducing land reform has been printed. We have brought 1,000 copies. If we really can't stand it, we will release the book first, which should be able to hold on for a while."

Liu Lantao said: "We can still withstand now, and there is no need to release the book at the moment. And I personally think that the promotional effect of making the book and the special film together will be better. And we are deliberately showing weakness now, and then we will have a complete counterattack."

Yang Yuxin said: "Okay, okay, Director Liu is familiar with the situation in Shanghai. Everything is up to you to decide. However, as long as there is a place where we need our help, please just say hello."

Liu Lantao said: "Okay, thank you."

Yang Yuxin smiled and said, "What are you thanking? We are working hard for the development of the government."

While the two were talking, the carriage had already driven into Shanghai County and arrived in front of the Shanghai Daotai Yamen. The two got out of the car and went forward to ask for the Shanghai Daotai.

If the governor of Zhili is the head of the governor, then the Shanghai Daotai is the leader of the Daotai of the Qing court. In fact, Shanghai was just a county seat in this era. The official name of the Shanghai Daotai was to patrol the local military preparation roads of Susong Taichang and other places. It was not a special Shanghai local official, but Shanghai County was also within its jurisdiction. Because the Daotai Yamen was located in the Dadongmen Gate of Shanghai County, which was on the Zhaodao Street of Huangpu District, Shanghai in the old time and space. Moreover, after the Opium War, Shanghai opened a port and its status became increasingly important. It not only had to handle local diplomacy, but also had to engage in Western affairs. Therefore, the local military preparation roads of Susong Taichang and other places were also called Shanghai Daotai.

The current Shanghai Daotai Yu Lianyuan is one of the important figures in promoting Southeast mutual protection. However, after the Qing court returned to Beijing, it promoted Yu Lianyuan to acting governor of Zhejiang. On the surface, it was commending Yu Lianyuan's important contributions in Southeast mutual protection, but in fact it was also a demonstration to all officials who participated in Southeast mutual protection, saying that the court recognized the positive role of Southeast mutual protection and made all officials involved in Southeast mutual protection feel at ease. Now Yu Lianyuan is just waiting to complete the handover of Shanghai New District with overseas Chinese and can go to Zhejiang to take office.

Liu Lantao also met Yu Lianyuan several times in Shanghai, so the officers in the Taoist yamen knew him. Seeing that he was coming, they did not dare to neglect them, so they hurried in to report the message. Not long after, Yu Lianyuan ordered them to enter.
