Riverside police

When we sailed to the waters of Wusongkou, there happened to be a supervision boat from the East China Sea Port Supervision enforcing the law, so that several blocked sea-going ships could enter the Huangpu River channel, and the Baishen passenger ship could just follow them.

001 immediately turned around and returned to Liuhe Port waters at the fastest speed.

Escort the Bailiu passenger ship full of passengers to the southern waters of Sanhe Xiangchang at the junction of Linghai and Changzhou, hand it over to escort 002, and then return to the main channel at the fastest speed to welcome the passengers and send them to Shiliupu Pier. , and picked up the Baishen number of passengers from Shiliupu Pier...

In the early morning of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, two oil tanks bottomed out.

Han Yu had to drive 001 and 002 to escort the Bailiu into the North Branch Channel.

After staying on the boat for more than 40 hours, many things could not be explained clearly through the radio. As soon as 001 docked the barge at the gas station, Xu Sanye took the traffic boat from the Binjiang Port Passenger Terminal and returned to the barge at the Yanjiang Police Station.

Han Xiangning felt that her body stank, and she hurried back to take a shower and change clothes, and left with the traffic boat.

Stationmaster Qian knew that Han Yu and Captain Wang were very tired, so he quickly asked two employees to pull the oil pipe.

"Salted fish, add as much as you like."

"Full."

"The account that will be charged to you shall be recorded to the account of the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol."

Children from poor families will get by.

Normally, Han Yu would not hesitate to write down the accounts of the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol.

However, the director has explained that this escort is an action of the institute. It is to allow the Linghai people who work and live outside to go home to celebrate the New Year, and also to allow the outsiders who work and live in Linghai to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. It is not to follow Hong Kong supervisors jointly enforce the law and cannot burn other people's oil.

He also said that before he asked others for this and that for work, but now the escort is to ensure the Spring Festival transportation, which is the job of the institute. Even if he can't do his job, he has to ask others to reimburse him for gas money.

Han Yu looked at the transport boat going away and said feebly: "Let's charge our account. I'll go back and bring the gas coupons later."

"Don't worry about gas tickets. Eat an apple first."

When Station Commander Qian saw Captain Wang coming out, he hurried back to get another one and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, take this, it's from my lover's workplace. It's so sweet."

"Thank you. My teeth are bad and I don't eat sweets very much now. I'll give you the salted fish."

"Stationmaster Qian, one is enough for me."

"Okay, you guys come up here and sit for a while. We need to fill up several oil tanks. We need more oil."

Han Yu also wanted to know about the situation at the "base". He took a bite of an apple and looked at several small boats fishing for eel fry on the river outside the navigation mark. He asked curiously: "Stationmaster Qian, why do we still have boats here?" Catching eel fry."

"Zhang Suo and you, Mr. Li, came back specially to meet Bai Liu. The men are escorting us, and they are also busy escorting them. They don't even bother to drive away those who are fishing for eel fry."

"They escort the White Bull Line?"

"The daily passenger flow of the Bainiu Line is no less than the several large passenger ships you escort. 002 and Little 001 come to me three times a day to refuel. Their voyage in the past two days is no shorter than yours."

Lu Xiangping came over and asked curiously: "Where is the route of the Bainiu Line?"

Stationmaster Qian was about to speak when Captain Wang smiled and said: "The Bainiu Line is the route between Bailong Port and Niupeng Port on Minming Island. This route has been temporarily suspended and resumed. Even our shipping company has operated it. "

Han Yu really didn't know this, so he raised his head and asked, "Our shipping company has also operated this route!"

"I've run it before. If you don't believe me, go back and ask your dad."

Captain Wang picked up the big teapot and took a sip of water, and said in detail: "This route was first opened by the Shenzhen-Zhao Shipping Office, a public-private partnership, in April 1956, but at that time it was operated by Bailong Port. To Haihong Port on Taoming Island, the voyage is 35 kilometers, with one round trip every day depending on the tide.

Later, Haihong Port became shallow and was changed from Cangfang Port to Bailong Port. In May 1958, the route was extended to Nanmen Port on Taoming Island, operated by passenger ship Shenhaibao No. 4. The total distance is fifty kilometers and the flight time is four to six hours. However, the extension line was canceled after only being opened for a few months. "

I didn’t expect that Niu Baixian has such a long history...

Han Yu subconsciously asked: "Why cancel it?"

"There are not many customers, and the more we run, the more we lose. Later, not only was the extension line cancelled, but the route from Bailong Port to Cangfang Port was also suspended."

As a Linghai native, Captain Wang was very upset about Donghai's annexation of Minming Island, or to be precise, why Donghai did not annex Linghai as well.

The old man pointed in the direction of Chongming Island and said bitterly: "The East China Sea only considers economic benefits and will stop sailing if they say it is suspended. But there are so many Linghai people on the island, and the people on the shore have so many relatives on the island, we cannot do it because of administrative measures." People on the shore and on the island will not move around due to zoning adjustments.

So after they stopped for a few months, the county asked our shipping company, which was not called a shipping company at that time, but was still a boat people's cooperative, to dispatch the Linghai No. 5 ship to operate this route.

The county did not expect this route to make money at the time. It was just to solve the transportation problem of the people on the island and on the shore. Unexpectedly, it operated very well. Precisely because of its good efficiency, in 1963, this route was taken over by Binjiang Steamship Company. "

Linghai is right on the riverside, but Linghai is "far away" from the Yangtze River.

If we don’t talk about other places, let’s talk about Bailong Port.

The passenger terminal belongs to Binjiang Port Authority, the long-distance bus station belongs to Binjiang Long-distance Bus Station, and even the ship lock belongs to the Transportation Department.

The units with good profits and the units that can receive money are all superiors. The county has no direct benefits, and the finances are so tight that it cannot manage them even if it wants to.

In fact, the situation in the city is not much better.

Binjiang Port is the largest inland port, but the ports are owned by the Port Authority. The Port Authority is affiliated with the Ministry of Transportation, and all the benefits have been taken away by the Ministry of Transportation.

It is difficult for the city to obtain direct benefits from relying on the Yangtze River, and the city's finances are also stretched thin. Naturally, it will not give money to the municipal bureau to set up a water-based public security branch like its brother public security bureau.

Just when Han Yu was thinking about the reason why the county and even the city were reluctant to control the river, Captain Wang continued: "But the routes that our shipping company operated well have stopped operating after seven years."

Lu Xiangping asked: "What happens next?"

"The people on the island and on the shore had objections, and operations were resumed after a year's suspension. Considering the source of passengers and the continuous siltation of the waterway, the departure port on the Mingming Island was moved from Cangfang Port to Niupeng Port, and that's how it became today. White Bull Line.”

"Captain Wang, which company does Jiangnan Passenger 901, 904, 905, 906 and Xin Hailiner run on this line now?"

"It says it's from Bailonggang Ferry Center Station, but it's actually from Binjiang Port Authority."

This route is very important to the people of Linghai!

Although the voyage is only ten kilometers and the flight time is only half an hour, it is like a bridge connecting millions of people on the shore and on the island.

Normally there are four sailings a day, but as the Spring Festival approaches, we have to work overtime, and the number of sailings reaches ten every day. Now the daily passenger flow exceeds 10,000!

When he was in technical secondary school, he had many classmates from other provinces. Han Yu could understand the eagerness of people on the island and on the shore to return to their hometowns to celebrate or pay New Year greetings. He murmured: "This line cannot be broken. It is to ensure that the waterway is open."

Stationmaster Qian smiled and said, "Secretary Chen of your county party committee said the same thing."

"Secretary Chen is here again?" Captain Wang asked in shock.

"County Magistrate Lu also came yesterday and gave your office 20,000 yuan, saying that we must ensure the smooth flow of the waterway no matter what."

"What about the boats that catch eel fry? Does the county care about them?"

"Not to mention your county, even all the law enforcement units in Binjiang combined, there are less than ten boats that can actually enforce the law on the river. There are tens of thousands of boats on the river fishing for eel fry, can they control it?"

Stationmaster Qian sighed softly and added: "The county can only control its own people. Let the Transportation Bureau, Agriculture Bureau and several towns along the river arrange cadres to go to the villages to publicize and dissuade. The loudspeakers are shouting every day. The Industry and Commerce Bureau seems to have also dispatched Let’s specifically investigate those dealers who collect eel fry.”

Han Yu asked: "Is it effective?"

"How can I say this? It has some effect on the waters in our area. People see that there is no way to fish here, so they all go upstream or downstream to fish."

Stationmaster Qian touched the corner of his mouth and continued: "The Harbor Supervision Bureau has a total of five supervision boats. They have to manage such a long area of ​​water. They are exhausted and exhausted. They are all extremely tired.

In addition, most of the fish that catch the most fish are fishing boats from other places. Whether fishing boats are sailing on the river or fishing operations, including traffic accidents, they are all under the supervision of the Fishery Port.

They are not afraid of the Hong Kong Supervisors at all. I heard Director Zhu say that their bureau cannot handle it anymore. When a traffic accident occurs on an ordinary ship, they arrange a supervisory boat to rescue and investigate. As for whether to catch the eel fry or not, I don't care, even if I want to, I can't control it. "

The law enforcement force is not enough. Not to mention Binjiang, which is not very economically developed, even Donghai, which is so rich, all units can only enforce the law on the river with a total of more than 20 boats.

What's more, there are actually two traffic management departments on the same river because of different boats. How can they control it...

Han Yu realized that this eel-catching battle was difficult to win. Just as he didn't know what to say, Lu Xiangping asked curiously: "Stationmaster Qian, where are the Fisheries and Harbor Superintendents? They are the competent authorities. Why don't they care?"

"The Binjiang Fishery Administration Station only has one law enforcement boat, and the number of officers who can go to the river to enforce the law may not be as many as that of your Yanjiang Police Station. And unlike you, who have guns and cannons, how can we expect them to manage nearly a hundred kilometers of water?"

"Since they don't have the strength, why don't they let others take care of it?"

"You have to ask your superiors. Not to mention what the county says doesn't count, even what the city or province says doesn't count."

Stationmaster Qian thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Actually, the fishery administration is very powerful, but their law enforcement force is not on the river, but on the sea."

Han Yu asked in confusion: "The waterway has been blocked by boats illegally fishing for eel fry. Why doesn't the city report it to the province so that the province can report it to the Ministry of Transportation?"

"There is no need to go through the trouble of reporting from level to level. Binjiang Port has the largest passenger volume of all ports along the Yangtze River. Every year during the Spring Festival, leaders from the Ministry of Transport will come to Binjiang Port for inspection. The leaders even came to Bailong Port in the morning and handed over your 002 Jiang Shang inspected it."

“What did the leaders of the Ministry of Transportation say?”

"I am the leader of the Ministry of Transportation, not the Ministry of Agriculture. What can I say? But I heard from people at the ship lock management station that the leader praised your county committee and county government, and also praised the Bailonggang Police Station and your Yanjiang Police Station."

"Then what?"

"Then he left. It seemed like he went to the East China Sea. The leader checked along the way. There were still several places to go."
