On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, and the sea breeze is blowing.

The once desolate northwest corner of Chongming Sandbar has now been completely transformed!

A magnificent deep-water port full of industrial power, like a dormant steel dragon, stands proudly between the blue sea and sky!

The thousand-foot-long deep-water pier is like the backbone of a giant dragon. It is anchored deeply into the seabed with hundreds of South China Sea ironwood piles that are as thick as a man's embrace. The surface is covered with thick hardwood planks coated with anti-corrosion tung oil, making it extremely sturdy.

On both sides of the pier are wide loading and unloading platforms that look like spread-out dragon wings.

At the edge of the platform, dozens of giant "overhead crane" cranes, several feet high, with frames made of fine iron and hardwood components, stand tall like the sharp claws of a giant dragon!

A thick iron chain hung down, with a huge iron hook and a steel net bag hanging at the end, flashing a cold light in the sunlight.

In the core of the port, two huge 10,000-ton deep-water berths have taken shape!

The main structure of the berth is constructed of reinforced concrete, and its surface is paved with thick granite slabs, making it incredibly strong and capable of withstanding the raging waves. Behind the berth is a cluster of steel-structured warehouses that undulate like mountains!

The huge arched roof is covered with corrugated galvanized iron sheets, which reflect a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The three major storage areas A, B and C are like the stomach of a giant beast, quietly waiting to swallow and discharge goods from all over the world.

At this moment, inside and outside the port, there is a bustling crowd and flags waving!

Countless colorful flags embroidered with the dragon flags of "Huxian Deepwater Port" and "Wangfu" fluttered in the strong sea breeze!

At the entrance to the harbor, a makeshift platform was covered with a scarlet Persian carpet.

Lin Zhen was wearing a black dragon-patterned uniform, standing tall and straight like a pine tree, with his hands behind his back in the center of the platform.

Chu Xiling, Zhang Li, Mao Mengji, Xiao Hanzhou and other core members are on both sides.

Below the stage was a sea of ​​excited people – labourers involved in the construction, soldiers of the Jinwu Guard, officials of the Special Administrative Region, and merchants with complicated expressions who were invited to watch the ceremony.

"The auspicious time has arrived--!!" Xiao Hanzhou's clear voice resounded throughout the harbor through the copper horn!

“Woo-woo-woo-woo!!”

Three deep, powerful and deafening whistles blew, like the roar of a dragon, announcing the beginning of a new era!

The "Polang" and "Yanfan" anchored in the deep water outside the harbor, as well as several merchant ships flying the flags of Goryeo and Japan, sounded their whistles at the same time to celebrate!

"Open the port--!!" Lin Zhen's voice was not loud, but it carried a power that penetrated people's hearts and was clearly heard by everyone!

"boom--!!"

The port suddenly erupted in earth-shaking cheers!

The laborers waved their tools, the Jinwu Guards straightened their chests, and the merchants applauded with complicated expressions, their eyes filled with shock and an indescribable thrill.

"Lift——!" Chu Xiling's cold voice gave the order through the loudspeaker!

The crane arm, which had been ready for a long time, started slowly with the roar of winches and gears!

The huge iron hook accurately grabbed a specially made huge wooden box wrapped in red silk in the cabin of the "Breaking Waves"!

Under the gazes of countless people, the wooden box was steadily lifted up, passed over the side of the ship, and slowly moved to berth number one!

"fall--!!"

"Boom——!!!"

A dull thud!

The wooden box landed steadily on the solid flagstone floor of the berth!

The red silk is unveiled!

Inside, a huge stone tablet carved from a single piece of white marble was revealed! Inscribed on the tablet were eight powerful characters:

"Huxian Deepwater Port·Jiuzizuji"!

Signed: Produced by Regent Prince Lin Zhen!

“The ceremony is over!!”

"Long live! Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Long live Hu County!!"

Cheers swept across the port again like a tsunami!

The workers were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes! This was a monument built with their blood and sweat!

"Open navigation--!!" Lin Zhen ordered again!

The Jinwu Guard sailors who had been waiting on the pilot boat immediately raised the signal flag!

"Woo——!!"

The "Breaking Waves" was the first to sound the whistle, and with the assistance of the tugboat, the huge ship slowly and accurately approached berth number one!

The thick cable wrapped around the mooring pile like a giant python! The hull collided lightly with the berth, making a dull sound!

"Docking successful!!"

The "Yangfan" followed closely behind and landed steadily at berth number two!

Immediately afterwards, merchant ships from Goryeo and Japan also docked one after another!

"discharge--!!"

Following Chu Xiling's command, the huge machine at the port instantly entered high-speed operation!

The crane arm roars!

Huge iron hooks reached into the cabin, steadily lifted up bundles of copper wires and boxes of mechanical parts, and moved them to the warehouse!

The call of the labor camp sounded again!

More powerful!

More powerful!

Hundreds of laborers rushed onto the cargo ship along the pier like a rushing torrent!

Working in groups of two, they shouted in unison, carried the heavy sacks (no longer cement, but spices from Southeast Asia and medicinal materials from Korea) onto their shoulders, carried them off the ship with steady steps, and delivered them to the warehouse!

Sweat soaked their clothes, their bronze skin gleamed in the sun, and their faces were filled with unprecedented pride and enthusiasm!

They are no longer humble laborers, but the builders and witnesses of this great port!

"Hurry! Hurry! Register and enter the warehouse!!"

“Check the manifest!!”

"Warehouse team! Stack by area!"

Zhang Li personally took charge of the newly built port dispatching center (a three-story brick-concrete building).

In front of the huge glass window, she overlooked the busy port, holding the latest cargo manifests and account books in her hands, her voice clear and decisive, and her commands were firm.

Under her command, dozens of rigorously trained clerks, accountants, and dispatchers work efficiently like precision gears.

The flow of goods, information transmission, account settlement... everything is in order!

This deep-water port is not only a physical hub, but also a huge and efficient business information and logistics center!

Mao Mengji stood on the edge of the platform with his knife in hand, scanning the entire port with his eyes like an eagle.

The Jinwu Guard soldiers were like black reefs, distributed in various key positions, scanning every corner with vigilant eyes.

Outside the port, several patrol speedboats equipped with crossbows and light artillery cut through the waves and cruised back and forth, declaring the sovereignty and security of this sea area.

......

The official opening of the deep-water port was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge wave in the business community of Hu County!

Especially for those businessmen who hold "Xiran" plots of land and were previously worried, this is undoubtedly a powerful reassurance!

The "Special Zone Investment Promotion Hall" next to the port dispatching center is now crowded with people and the atmosphere is warm!

The originally spacious hall was packed with people!

The faces of merchants coming from all over the world no longer showed the doubts and anxiety they had before. Instead, they were filled with irrepressible excitement, greed, and a hint of relief!

"Boss Zhao! Lord Li... ah... really..." A Suzhou and Hangzhou silk merchant shook his head, sighing with lingering fear, "Fortunately... fortunately I didn't follow their reckless actions!"

"Yes! His Highness is truly a mastermind! He always keeps his word!" A nearby Jinling grain merchant quickly echoed, his eyes filled with awe. "This port! Such ambition! Such efficiency! It's simply... a miracle!"

"Holy land! It truly is holy land!" A Yangzhou salt merchant excitedly waved his arms. "Once the port opens, the land prices on Chongming Sandbar will skyrocket!"
