In the end, he decided to start with basic construction first. [Full text reading] Build a pier in the southwest. The revetment was leveled and a trestle was built, extending to the sea where the water depth exceeds 2.5 meters. Ensure that large and medium-sized ships of the navy and international shipping companies can directly load and unload without barging. The dock itself was defended by a three-story bastion. Surrounding the bastion is a small fortified residential area. Lu Wenyuan settled thirty households here, mainly fishermen from the original island.
These people are his "navy", guarding the docks, patrolling Longkou Bay, and inevitably fishing to improve food.
As for Lu Wenyuan's own headquarters, it was located on the mountain of Qimu Island. On the top of the mountain, a watchtower was first built to monitor the entire island and nearby waters. It also served as a lighthouse to guide the fleet into the port in the future.
Water resources are scarce on the island, and all water sources are in the mountains. The site of the farm is right above a water source.
Not only does it directly control the water source, but it also builds water collection ponds and channels around it to concentrate the mountain water sources into the water collection pond for storage. The excess water is discharged down the mountain through channels and can be temporarily used as agricultural water.
The scale of the farm itself is not large - Qimu Island has a small roundabout area and lack of water resources. In the long run, it is not a suitable base. According to the plan, it is just a transit base built to cooperate with the Dengzhou operation. However, the fortified farm itself is built very solidly, and a large amount of relief rations, clothing, quilts, and hygiene supplies will be stored in it.
There are water collection ponds, large warehouses, headquarters and residential areas in the farm. There are also standard barracks for a company. In addition to the protection of a masonry wall with crenellations, there are also six small double-layered convex-corner forts. According to the plan, each horn fort will be equipped with one mén artillery.
The land outside the mountains can be leveled a little, and the land above the sea level can be used to grow reeds. When Kong is virtuous, he can use it to set up tents and mats, and a refugee camp can be set up in an instant. As a test. In order to solve the problem of housing for the workers who built the base, he first built ten "long houses" with simple wooden structures, reed mat roofs and walls. Each room can accommodate 1oo people.
In addition, there are a number of supporting buildings such as kitchens and toilets. After operation, it is believed that they can basically meet the needs.
However, this kind of mat shed has poor thermal insulation performance and is not strong. It's barely okay in the summer, but it's winter. If the refugees are not given enough winter clothes and cold-proof equipment, it may be completely symbolic.
But if we want more and better facilities, it also involves the issue of transporting supplies from Hong Kong. Lu Wenyuan knew that most of the transportation capacity was currently transporting supplies to the newly opened Taiwan base. It might be impossible to make a special trip to transport supplies to the small forward base on Qimu Island.
Almost all the building materials used to build the Qimu Island base were purchased locally, and craftsmen were also hired locally. Thanks to his connection with the Catholic Church in Shandong through the Jesuit relationship and the care of Sun Yuanhua and other Catholics at all levels, Lu Wenyuan was finally not blind when doing things there. He built the first phase of the Qimu Island base with almost no use of naturalized personnel.
The three eastern prefectures are poor. Prices are so cheap. They all left a deep impression on Lu Wenyuan. This place is far from being compared with Jiangnan and Guangdong. There is cultivated land everywhere, but the crops on most of the land are not growing well. The villages near Qim Island are without exception very poor. Lu Wenyuan hired workers to work locally, even for low wages, so that the labor was free of charge, and he only wanted to be given three meals a day.
Because labor is extremely cheap, Lu Wenyuan recruits a large number of workers: men, women, young and old, everyone is wanted. Strong enough to do heavy work. Doing light work without strength. Utilizing a large amount of cheap labor, the first phase of the Qimu Island base project progressed very quickly, by early August. Sixty percent of the project has been completed.
The workers also reclaimed fields, built canals and catchment tanks, and built windmill towers. The windmills had to be transported from Lingao. They planted the first batch of reed millet on the newly reclaimed fields and sown on the beach mudflats. Seaweed seeds.
In order to protect the construction on the island and prevent idle people from entering. Although Lu Wenyuan did not dig a trench on the long embankment, he built a wicker fence - it looked inconspicuous, but after it took root and was filled with sand and gravel, it became very strong. In the Loess Plateau, this method is used to intercept flash floods and improve soil erosion, and a large number of fields can be created in gullies.
From the looks of it, construction on the island is booming. Despite this, Lu Wenyuan still hopes that reinforcements will arrive soon - especially if the northbound detachment rushes to Jeju Island to board 6, so that at least some supplies can be transported to him - not to mention, just these three-eyed blunderbuss And artillery makes people feel uneasy. As for this group of Xiangyong who were disheveled and malnourished, he also felt very unreliable.
The only ones he could rely on were a few naturalized civilians under his command, especially Huang Ande. Seeing him practice Xiangyong in a decent manner every day made him feel at ease.
That Zhao Yingong transferred to Wang Qisuo and has now recovered. Now he is the deputy captain of the Xiangyong Team. It can be seen that he has good fists and kicks, and can also shoot a bow and arrow. He is worthy of the dual identity of a salt owl and a military householder.
Based on overt and covert investigations and conversations, Lu Wenyuan roughly understood Wang Qisuo's basic identity: he was a local military household, selling salt to make a living, and there was no one left at home. This situation is very common among naturalized people and is not surprising. Lu Wenyuan didn't take it seriously either.
"Lao Ao movies, new Ao movies are released... Guan Yunchang warms wine and kills Hua Xiong, Spider-Man fights Spider-Man, Teacher Cang bravely fights the evil Yanei, The Adventures of the Five Daoist Man..."
Along with the crisp sound of gongs, the shouts of vendors came from the street. The children in the alley rushed to the street entrance, took out a handful of copper coins from their arms and threw them into the vendors' hands, while shouting: "Let me go first." Look, let me see first."
This is an ordinary morning in Guangzhou. There are 176 such vendors in Guangzhou every day, setting up more than 300 "Australia machines" in the market, bringing visual entertainment that should not belong to this time and space to children and adults in this time and space.
Skade, who was wearing plain clothes, was sitting on a carriage and witnessed this scene, with a smile on his lips.
"Latin American movies" are similar to the "Latin American movies" of the last time and space, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. A strip is used to drive a ratchet mechanism in a wooden box to drive a film reel, and the images on the film are played continuously. The viewer has to pull the rope to tighten the strip. Everyone knows that this is an Australian product, so it is called Australian film. The light comes from daylight collected through lenses, and at night it is provided by oil lamps, but the effect is much worse.
This thing was requested by the Ministry of Colonial Trade and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, and was designed by the Machinery Factory. Compared with the traditional "foreign movie box", the structure has been improved, the weight and volume are reduced, and the effect is enhanced.
This entertainment has greatly increased the burden on Lin Hanlong's optical factory - the main component of the "Australian View" is the lens. Although the performance requirements are very low, they still have to be ground out one by one. For this reason, Lin Hanlong had to work with the veterans of the machinery factory to open a device that could batch grind simple optical lenses.
The Ministry of Colonization and Trade certainly did not open this set of things to entertain the people of the Ming Dynasty, nor to increase income-although the vendors who obtained the "franchise" from Zichengji said that the profits from this business were not bad, but the "franchise" of several hundred taels every year The income from "fees" and renting "Australian films" can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in the entire Lingao economic system.
The important point is to promote, especially the "Australian way of life". Build momentum for the upcoming commercial center. At the same time, it attracted people from the Ming Dynasty to immigrate to Hainan Island.
Guangzhou is the gathering place for the wealthy population of Guangdong. As long as the concept of Lingao as "a bright light" and "a paradise" is established here, it will not only attract the poor who are struggling to make a living and hope to pursue a new life, It can also attract some wealthy people.
Before the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Planning Institute mentioned the problem of too small economic aggregate and scale at an executive committee meeting to expand national economic work. The constraint on all this is population.
Industry requires a large number of people - especially when the Senate's industrial system is at a very low level, it has to rely on human sea tactics to expand production capacity. Therefore, gathering manpower has become a top priority.
He did not hesitate to invest almost all the strength of the Senate in the motivation plan, and the ultimate goal was to gain a large number of people.
Although the "Australian film" publicity campaign has a negligible effect on the overall labor accommodation plan, it can still have a great impact in the long run.
"Come and watch, the latest Australian film - Australian workers move into new houses, large iron factories turn into molten iron, and farms produce thousands of kilograms of rice per acre..."
The hawker changed another part of the movie: this part is **1uo's movie promoting "new life". Because the content is novel, it also attracts many people to watch. After all, Australians are already well-known in Guangdong, and many people want to know more about them.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Guo Yi, who was also sitting in the carriage, still wasn't used to cigars, so he put down the cigar in his hand.
"Sir Guo, cigars are not cigarettes. Don't inhale them into your lungs. The smoke is too strong." Skade slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "You are now the representative of Australian style in Guangzhou. Mr. Fashion, pay attention to details.”
"Mr. Fashion, it's all your idea. I was forced to do this thing - I didn't smoke or drink in the past."
"Shit, you work in the powerful department and you don't smoke or drink? How can the boss use you?" Si Kaide turned a blind eye to Guo Yi's complaints, "You need to be more elegant in your posture, so that the rich people will accept it." Spend money!"
This matter has always been a pain for Guo Yi - he worked hard back then, but on the dth, he still didn't have a deputy-level clerk. Of course, the reason is definitely not that I don’t smoke or drink. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register for the membership list.
