When these people moved, the Moon Palace was also slowly approaching the wharf, and after approaching the wharf, the people on the shore could clearly feel that this is known as the most advanced, fastest and most luxurious passenger ship in China!

On the bridge of the Tsukinomiya, after the captain instructed the deputy captain to take charge of the follow-up matters of berthing, he walked towards the first-class cabin, and he was ready to personally send the first-class passengers off the ship.

After arriving at the huge living room of the first-class cabin, they came up one by one to greet them, thanking them for taking the ship of the Yangtze River Shipping Company, and asking them if they were satisfied with the service during the journey, whether they had any suggestions and so on.

These passengers, although most of them are either rich or expensive, but the greetings to the captain are very polite, they naturally do not regard the captain of the Moon Palace as an ordinary crew, this captain is a retired officer of the Navy, and he was a lieutenant colonel before he retired.

If you are not polite, people will not be polite to you, and it is not impossible to throw you off the boat directly!

So, it's all hello, hello, everyone!

Many people said that this trip was the most comfortable trip in their lives, and the next time they had the opportunity, they would take the Moon Palace or something like that!

These words also made the captain of the Moon Palace and the people of the Yangtze River Shipping Company have a smile and a proud look on their faces!

The Moon Palace is not an ordinary passenger ship, but the largest, most luxurious, and fastest passenger ship in the empire!

The displacement of the ship has reached more than 800 tons, and its tonnage standard has reached the standard of a new generation of cruisers in the navy, although this tonnage is not the largest among many ships today, and the tonnage of many ocean-going merchant ships today is more than 500 tons, and there are not a few more than 800 tons or even 1,000 tons.

However, you have to know that those ships are ordinary merchant ships, mainly for transporting goods.

And the Moon Palace is a purely passenger ship, and its purpose is only to carry passengers!

The tonnage of domestic passenger ships that are purely for transporting passengers is generally not large, and the largest in the past was only three or four hundred tons, but the Moon Palace created a pioneer and soared the tonnage to more than 800 tons at one time.

And it has been renovated in a luxurious way!

The cost of the decoration of the ship is more than the cost of building the hull!

This ship is not only large and luxuriously decorated, but in order to ensure fast speed, they used the latest Datang longitudinal sails, and asked Dingsheng Shipyard to specially design the ship type to ensure comfort while maintaining maximum speed.

Since the Royal Institute of Technology came up with a new style of sail, that is, the Datang sail, this kind of sail has begun to become popular rapidly, although due to the limitation of construction technology and cost, there is no way to become a sail for large ships, especially ocean-going vessels.

However, it has quickly gained popularity on small and medium-sized boats!

Especially on coastal navigation and rivers and lakes navigation ships, its popularity is quite fast, because the biggest feature of this kind of sail is that it can sail in the wind, and the speed is also fast.

In coastal and inland waterways, this ability to catch the wind is particularly important, coupled with good speed, so that this kind of sail is widely welcomed as soon as it appears.

At first, it was only used by official ships such as the Navy and the Postal Department, but soon a large number of civilian ships followed, especially those shipping companies that were in desperate need of new ships.

In order to compete, these shipping lines need ships with better performance!

In response to this demand, many shipyards have designed special ship types, including coastal freight, coastal passenger transport, inland river freight, inland river passenger transport, fishing boats, etc., and even some ocean-going ship types.

But they can make any ship type that needs to grab the wind and sail speed.

Yangtze River Shipping Company is one of them, as the earliest and largest inland river passenger transport company in China, their slogan is to focus on inland river passenger transport, with the fastest speed, the most comfortable service to send passengers to their destinations.

So there was a lot of interest in this new type of ship, and when it first came out, they began to purchase several of them, and then they got out of control, and by now, they have equipped at least fifty different types of multi-masted schooners for inland and coastal navigation.

But these are ordinary multi-masted schooners!

The Moon Palace, however, is not an ordinary multi-masted schooner, but a giant palace floating on the sea!

The ship is the Yangtze River shipping company, in order to maintain competitiveness, but also to improve the company's reputation of the new generation of flagship, its hull design cost a high price, invited the Royal Institute of Technology ship department professors to carry out the conceptual design, and then spent a high price to Dingsheng shipyard to order.

Dingsheng Shipyard is currently the most powerful shipyard in China, and it is also the most expensive shipyard with fees.

Although the scale is not as good as the Jiangnan Shipyard, its technical ability is the strongest, and the ship types built are basically able to lead the trend, while the Jiangnan Shipyard, although the scale is large, the production capacity is also larger, but in terms of technology, it is still inferior to the Dingsheng Shipyard.

This can be seen from the construction of warships undertaken, and the battleships currently in service and ordered in the navy are all ordered from the Dingsheng Shipyard, and as for the Jiangnan Shipyard, it is still unable to build this kind of behemoth with a standard displacement of more than 1,300 tons and a full combat displacement of more than 1,500 tons.

It is recognized that the boats built by Dingsheng have good performance, but it is also recognized that they are expensive.

In order to maintain their leading edge, especially to maintain the fastest shipping record, the Yangtze River Shipping Company does not hesitate to spend a lot of money, after all, they need ships that are not only big, luxurious, but also the fastest!

At present, the main passenger routes in the empire are the coastal route from Shanghai to Guangzhou, and the inland river route from Shanghai to Jinling City.

Among them, this section of the coastal route from Guangzhou to Shanghai is currently the busiest coastal route in the empire, not only with many cargo ships, but also with a relatively large number of passengers. At the same time, it is also the route with the largest number of passengers, and it is also the coastal route with the most fierce competition among many shipping companies in China.

The same is true of the inland waterway route from Jinling to Shanghai, which is also the busiest and most competitive inland waterway route.

The Yuegong operates on these two routes, from Guangzhou to Shanghai, then to Jinling City, and then from Jinling City to Shanghai, and then to Guangzhou, and so on.

Therefore, the ship type of the Moon Palace is also a very typical Yangtze River ship type.

What is the Yangtze River ship type?

That is, the draft is not as deep as that of ocean-going vessels, but it is deeper than that of pure inland waterway vessels, and it is somewhere in between.

This is because the Yangtze River, that is, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River from Jinling City to Shanghai, has relatively abundant water and a deep channel, not to mention ships of more than 800 tons.

This Yangtze River ship type can meet the needs of navigating in the Yangtze River basin and coastal waters at the same time, and even when necessary, it can also be used for long-sea navigation, which is much better than any sand boat, of course, it is not without shortcomings, that is, it cannot be navigated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and other inland rivers and lakes with relatively shallow water depth.

However, this has no impact on the Yuegong, its route is only limited to Jinling City to Guangzhou, at most it will develop the northern coastal route in the future, and it will not run to other inland rivers.

In addition, the luxurious decoration of the ship is also a major feature!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be described as a palace floating on the sea!

Needless to say, gold, silver and other precious metal parts, all kinds of other decoration materials are how expensive and how to come!

In the end, the cost of this Moon Palace soared to more than 300,000 yuan, you must know that the cost of the hull of a merchant ship of the same tonnage is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and the military's cruiser is only more than 100,000 yuan, of course, this does not include the cost of armament.

The cost of the Moon Palace surpasses that of merchant ships and warships, and it is currently the most expensive hull of more than 800 tons in China.

When such a ship comes to Shanghai, it will definitely bring many powerful and wealthy people, even if it is not those in the first class, those in the second class are very likely to be worth a lot of money.

So when they saw the Moon Palace, the officials of the Huating County Investment Promotion Office pounced directly like a shark that smelled the smell of blood.

They used their official status to communicate with the staff in the port first, and when the ship had just docked and the passengers on the ship had not officially disembarked, they got on the boat, and then they began to look for their prey.

Of the three people who got on board first, one went to the second class, one went to the first class, and one waited at the exit of the ship, and the three of them began to act quickly.

It was Li Chun who was assigned to the second class, although this person's surname was Li, but he naturally had nothing to do with the royal Li family, and the royal Li family did not have too many clansmen, because the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan had been passed down for several generations, not to mention brothers, not even uncles, and now, the number of people in the Li family of the royal family is only a few, and there are no distant relatives or anything like that.

Li Chun is just from an ordinary family, and the surname Li has not brought him even the slightest help, he relies on his own hard study, which is why he studied all the way to the imperial examination, and then was admitted to the third-class doctor in the Jiangxi entrance examination.

In accordance with the principle of being an official in a different place, people from Jiangxi were assigned to serve in Huating County, and now they are senior staff members of the Huating Industrial and Commercial Section, and their grades are from the eighth grade.

At this level, he is not a newcomer to officialdom, but he is not a high-ranking official, and in officialdom, he belongs to the ranks of low-level officials.

Datang does not have the title of official, civil servant, etc., all of them are officials, the difference is senior officials, middle-level officials, low-level officials, basically three or more for high-level officials, four to seven for middle-level officials, eight and nine for low-level officials.

Twenty-six-year-old Li Chun naturally still has ambitions for the future, so he is very rare to be transferred to the investment promotion office this time.
