"Who would come to this wilderness to steal railway tracks? Are they tired of living?" Zhuo Tianmin disagreed. 【Read full text】
"There are also picking up shell skins at the artillery range right after the explosion point. This is nothing." Xi Yazhou said, "In addition to the Amusement Park, according to the report of the special reconnaissance team, there are still some sporadic residents in the Sanya Special Economic Zone. Yes. Can you guarantee that they won’t steal the tracks?”
The problem is that there are very few residential areas within a few dozen miles. Zhuo Tianmin can't imagine how many thieves there would be in these pitiful residential areas with a total population of less than 200 or 300 people. What did they plan to do with the stolen railroad tracks? He felt like it was just an excuse.
Sure enough, at the subsequent Sanya Military Commission meeting, Xi Yazhou proposed that in order to clean up the surrounding environment, a comprehensive "security cleanup" activity should be carried out within the jurisdiction of the Sanya region.
The specific measures are to transform all the villages in this area into the same Amusement Park style, concentrate the population, and force them to migrate to residential areas under the control of the Crossing Group. In short, it is labor intensification.
"You are building a strategic village, and I am firmly opposed to it." Zhuo Tianmin expressed strong protest. "The merging of villages is a trick of the Japanese and American soldiers. Are you going to pick it up too?"
"No matter what it is called, as long as it works." Xi Yazhou said calmly.
But everyone found it uninteresting, not because they thought it would cause any harassment to the villagers, but because the labor force that could be increased through such a large-scale effort was limited, and resettlement required a lot of manpower and material resources. The cost-effectiveness ratio is not high. In the end, only a courtesy visit to these villages was approved to get a feel for each village and see if there were any resources and intelligence that could be collected.
"Rather than arresting them all and forcing them to work, it is better to seduce them with material benefits." He Fanghui said, "Besides, since they can continue to live, they will definitely open up the nearby areas to a certain extent, and we can still obtain resources from them. I suggest that local Open a cooperative and use commodity exchange to penetrate into the inner regions."
"The potential consumer population in several villages is too small."
"There are also Li people in the mainland," He Fanghui said. "They have no money, but they have mountain goods. We exchange salt, sugar and various daily necessities with them, making them dependent on Sanya trade. Then recruit Li people Cooperation partners in China. In the future, they will be a suitable civil foundation when we go deep into the Lebanese region to establish political power. Doing business is not just for making money - in fact, we don’t need to make money, do we?”
"This can be left to the resettled households. We don't have to do everything. Let the cooperative set up a sales agency and find a few small traders to operate it. We just provide policies to provide supply." Wang Luobin said, "But I went to see Xia An As for the foundation of the amusement park, this piece of land is too small. If you want to build a new city, it will be almost lined up. I'm afraid it will be difficult to expand into a big city in the future."
"Ji Runzhi is doing planning research." Zhuo Tianmin said, "He also believes that there are major omissions in the original planning plan. He will give a report on how to modify it in three days."
"Let's talk about the progress of the project -" Wang Luobin is most concerned about this issue, "When will the ore be produced?"
"Now I am organizing manpower to clear the road to Huangniling. The labor force is working in three shifts." Zhuo Tianmin spread out the drawings, "Huangniling is not high and the terrain is not complicated. The main problem in road construction is that the vegetation is too dense. . It will take a lot of effort to clean up." He looked at the manual and said, "The road will be built in another week, but the road surface grade is not high and only people and wheelbarrows can pass."
"As long as people can go up there, we can win," Wang Luobin said. "As long as people can go up there, we can build roads and clean up mines at the same time. It's a two-pronged approach."
Wang Luobin had participated in the investigation of Tiandu Mine and knew the local geological conditions very well. The reserves of Tiandu Mine are not very large, but they are buried very shallowly. The diameter of the mine that can be mined is only three hundred meters. The ore body is very regular and can be mined by simply peeling off the topsoil and pulling up the mining section. It is very convenient whether it is manual or mechanized mining.
The best way to quickly strip off the topsoil is to blast the entire hilltop. In the past, when opening Nanbao, a large-scale blasting of the roof was carried out. However, Panda did some on-site exploration and said it was very difficult.
"It needs to be completely stripped off. Not to mention the technical difficulty - I don't know much about this - but judging from the situation on the mountain, at least ten tons of yellow explosives are needed." Panda said, "It is not black powder."
Everyone knows this is impossible. Not to mention where ten tons of nitroglycerin explosives come from - the oil used to make glycerin is still a scarce commodity. Even if there are ready-made explosives, shipping them is a risky business, and the navy will be scolded every time it is shipped.
"It is best to build an explosives factory locally, even if it can only produce black powder." Panda said, "The subsequent mining will have a huge demand for explosives, and it is inconvenient and unsafe to always transport them from Lingao. Besides, this place is inherently We need to build a copra factory to extract oil and produce ready-made coconut oil.”
"This is something that will happen in the future, what should we do now?" Wang Luobin asked.
"If it's safe, fire small guns first and peel off the earth and rock layer by layer until the ore layer is exposed. The black powder and ammonium nitrate are enough for one month. After blasting, manually clean up a working surface. Once there is a working surface, use manual mining, and then cooperate with Fire small cannons." Panda said, "This is the safest method in my opinion. It's no different from blasting in Nanbao. The gunpowder is close at hand. If it doesn't succeed, it will only happen a few more times."
"Let's do it this way." Wang Luobin agreed, "The ants are chewing the bones, bit by bit. Other construction sites must also pay close attention. Especially the fortification projects and dock facilities in Luhuitou and Yulinbao must be completed before summer. project."
Summer rainfall increases significantly, and there is the risk of a typhoon hitting the area head-on. If the infrastructure cannot be completed in time, the current temporary wooden houses and simple docks are in danger of being destroyed by waves and typhoons.
The entire Sanya Kai Headquarters is full of enthusiasm to work hard: almost all the elders are working day and night, and the lights are not turned off all night long. Everyone knows that the Senate and the Executive Committee are watching Sanya. The sooner the first shipment of iron ore is shipped out, the louder the voice in the Senate will be in the future.
Hundreds of workers were working day and night under the command of Zhuo Tianmin, renovating roads and leveling foundations; Ji Runzhi ate and slept in the temporary shed at the Tiandu construction site, designing and drawing while constructing; Li Haiping simply slept in the newly-bombed building At the fort construction site on the top of Luhuitou Mountain, all the navy soldiers became labor force; the calculations of the planning institute’s calculators under Sun Xiao were like rain. Sun Xiao’s daily job was to make statistics and fill in countless reports. It counts daily labor deaths, injuries, and illnesses; manpower replenishment status; classified material consumption and inventory status, project completion and planned earthwork volume...
These data reports do not require immediate reporting back to Lingao. Representatives from the Planning Institute only reported on the progress of the project in daily telegrams the manpower and materials that needed to be supplemented. However, after Wu De took office, he emphasized the need to establish a complete archives system and required all projects to establish archives. In order to prepare for future inspections, summarize experiences and lessons and hold people accountable.
Wang Luobin looked at the various marks on the project schedule at the headquarters board in Yulinbao. Every day, wired telegrams reported the latest progress of each construction site to the general headquarters. He constantly drew on the schedule the things that had failed to meet the target on time or failed to meet the target. Mark, make adjustments to labor, machinery and supplies. Calculating how long it will take to transport the iron ore. According to the plan of the Planning Institute, the first shipment of ore will be shipped 10 months after D-Day, and an annual production scale of 10,000 tons of iron ore will be established 18 months later. After 24 months, it was expanded to an annual output of 60,000 tons.
Seeing this schedule, Wang Luobin felt a little unsure. This job greatly exceeded his previous work experience. He has been a project leader in the past, but this is the first time he has handled such a large and critical project, not to mention that he actually doesn't have much knowledge in infrastructure mining. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the horse and learn by doing.
Overall, the situation in all aspects is improving. The death rate from work-related injuries has dropped to an acceptably low level, and people recovering from malaria have begun to return to work. The number of available laborers has shown restorative growth for the first time. According to Sun Xiao’s prediction, they will not need to recruit new labor from Lingao in the short term.
The brick-making machine that suffered a catastrophic workplace accident has been repaired and now operates normally except for some minor glitches due to occasional broken parts. The brick kiln of Sanya Brick and Tile Factory is a continuous kiln using steel wire ropes and iron slide cars, and its efficiency is much higher than the wheel kiln of Lingao. The bricks and tiles produced can fully meet the construction needs. In addition to the cement, steel bars and bamboo bars that still rely on Lingao for supply, the bricks, tiles, stone and lime are completely supplied locally in Sanya. The wood processing plant is also under intensive construction. Once completed, it will not only provide enough building materials to supply the local area, but also supply wood products and by-products to Lingao. The warehouse tonnage originally occupied by these bulk cargoes will be changed to load coal. At present, the demand for coal in Sanya is gradually increasing.
The Planning Institute's requirement is that Sanya must have at least 15 days of coal reserves in addition to daily coal use. The importance of steam engines and boilers to the crossing group has risen to the level of "dependence".
The only problem is that the quality of the boilers is still worrying. A large number of steam engines and boilers manufactured in a surprise attack have a high failure rate, which once affected the progress of the project. At his request, Zhan Wuya specially dispatched a special maintenance team composed entirely of veterans to conduct a major overhaul of all boilers and steam engines used in the project.
Panda led the demolition team to blast continuously everywhere. The sound of cannons rumbled throughout the Yulin area. The workers and immigrants knew that they were blasting, but for the people who were originally in An Amusement City, the sound of cannons suddenly increased their anxiety. Disturbing. I thought that this group of "Australian pirates" didn't know who they were fighting against.
Hu Xun stayed in a temporary detention center by the sea. He had food and drink every day, was able to take a shower, and was allowed to have a change of clothes from his family, which was considered a very preferential treatment. It's just that no one around him he recognizes, which makes him feel guilty. He didn't know how this group of pirates - he now knew that they were the so-called Australian pirates - were going to deal with him?
He was not only worried about his own life, but also afraid that this group of pirates would be harmful to his family. Hu Xun had several wives and a daughter who was already fourteen years old and waiting to be given birth. This is not the kind of fat that everyone covets, not to mention that they are still the pirates who turned out the lights and the old sows
The sound of cannon fire every day only intensified his fear. As far as Nei Lu is concerned, as far as he knows, there is no other force except the Li people. There is obviously no need to abuse firearms in this way when fighting against the Li people. As for the officers and soldiers, even if they want to come, they will only come by sea, and they will never come through the grass on the land.
He had always wanted to know something from the people who were guarding him - including where they came from, what they were doing here, and most importantly - what were they going to do to themselves? But the guard said nothing to him. If he wanted to speak, it was the simplest and most necessary thing to say, and the same was true between them. Hu Xun wondered where these expressionless people were coming from. They could actually stand face to face for several hours without saying a word to each other.
After almost a month of painful waiting, someone finally came to see him.
The visitor was an Australian - Hu Xun knew that he was from the same group as the original so-called shopkeeper Lingao Wang, and they were both so-called Australian shorthairs. I saw that he was of medium height and burly, with a shaved head, a double chin, dark bags under the eyes, and thick lips. Wearing a gray short coat commonly worn by Australian shorthairs, a backpack and a bucket are slung across his body. His appearance and grooming were far beyond Hu Xun's social experience, and it was unclear where he came from.
He Fanhui asked him politely about his living conditions here and how he was doing physically.
"I'm in good health. You treat me like a prisoner well." Hu Xun said with a wry smile.
"Haha," He Fang laughed back and patted his shoulder affectionately, "Old Hu, I'm not telling you, in twenty years' time, when you think back to today, you will be grateful to be our prisoner. "
Hu Xun was completely speechless. He thought to himself, this is the first time for such a shameless guy to be grateful for having his family's property taken away by you. What nonsense is this?
But he didn't dare to show it, so he had no choice but to obey. Seeing that the visitor was very interested, he quickly asked how his family was doing.
"Everything is fine at your house." He Fang replied simply, "You are still in the original house. I have sent a few police officers to look after you outside your house. You can rest assured that everything is safe at home."
"Thank you, Mr. He." Hu Xun was slightly relieved when he heard that his house was safe. My whole family is a piece of cake, there is no need for the other party to deceive me.
"You don't have to stay here anymore." He Fang replied, "I'll let you go home today."
Immediately, he asked him to pack his things and took him out of the office in Anyu Market. It was sunny and windy outside, and the sun was dazzling. Hu Xun, who had not left the house for a month, was so dizzy that he almost fell to the ground. Then he was "escorted" by a special person and returned to his home.
Walking on the street, the appearance of Anyu Market has changed drastically. All the original walls have been demolished, and some of the houses on the street have also been demolished. Only a few restaurants and bars are still open. The inns and warehouses where the merchants stayed were also safe, and there were people wearing black jackets and belts guarding the door.
The family's mansion has not changed, but the door is closed. There was a surprise when I got home. Fortunately, everyone on board and off was safe, and no pirates came to harass us. They also deliver vegetables, fish, shrimps and food every few days for free.
"Everything is peaceful at home, not even a penny or a mosquito is missing. It's just that all the things you kept in the public treasury outside are gone..." His wife continued to ramble to herself.
"Don't worry about that little wealth." Hu Xun waved his hand impatiently, "If you are willing to take what you have at home, what else can you say about the things in the library?"
Hu Xun's mind was very confused and he didn't know what this group of people wanted to do. It seems that this group of guys who sometimes call themselves Lingao people and sometimes call themselves Australians are planning to stay here for a long time. You can tell this by looking at their large-scale construction projects.
When Hu Xun was distressed at home, he didn't know that he had just escaped the terrible fate of being exterminated. There are two different opinions in the Sanya Military Commission on how to deal with the former Baozheng of Anyu Market. The most extreme people believe that Hu Xun is the leader of the old forces, he is likely to seduce the government, and is a potential threat. For security reasons, he and his family should be executed. Another theory is that Hu Xun just took advantage of the loopholes in the government's lax control and became a local tycoon. He didn't have many bad deeds, and he was familiar with the local situation, and he surrendered voluntarily. Killing him would give the traversers a reputation as cruel. If we meet this kind of person again in the future, won’t the other party have to resist resolutely to the end?
"His whole family is now under our control. If there is any change, his whole family will be destroyed immediately. And the destruction is justified." He Fang Hui tried to save his life.
"Hmph, do we need a legitimate name?" Xi Yazhou sneered at this, "To be honest, this person is of little use to us. If he remains, he will be a hidden danger. As for our reputation-cruelty is also a weapon."
"This is on the same level as the Huns and Mongols. It's not good." Wang Luobin thought about it again and again, and felt that it was better not to make too many enemies at this stage. In the end, it was decided to keep him as an example for recruiting surrender and rebellion in the future.
So Hu Xun was placed under house arrest and was not allowed to go out. They can keep ten servants in their homes. The only people left behind were maids, old ladies and old men over fifty years old. All other servants were "confiscated".
Among Hu Xun's three sons, except for the younger one who was under ten years old, the other two were sent to Lingao to "study", which was equivalent to hostages. Hu Xunnao didn't understand how Lingao became the property of the Australians, but he was unable to stop them, so he had to pack up and send them on their way.
It turned out that Hu Xun's master was retained by He Fanghui as a clerk after a period of review. As for the leader of the village, he was originally a pirate and had some boxing skills, so he was brought back to Lingao to join the navy recruit camp.
The former residents of Anyu Market were those with family members in the local area who were organized into labor teams, and the single men were transported back to Lingao to supplement the labor force. As for Hu Xun's fellow clansmen and relatives, all of them were sent to Lingao for resettlement. e! ~!
