There is also a recreation room on the second floor which is a sand table deduction room with three types of sand tables: sea, land and amphibious operations. [No pop-up novel website] With the exquisite terrain model and weapon model, you can play various military sandbox games from simple war chess games to highly simulated war chess deductions. This is the most popular place for military veterans.

At this moment, the large entertainment room and sand table room were brightly lit, and chatter and laughter could be heard from time to time. Wu Nanhai went directly to the private room on the third floor without alerting the elders inside.

The third floor is all separate salon rooms - similar to small and medium-sized conference rooms. There are 8 rooms in total. It is a salon room prepared by the teahouse for seniors to hold private and departmental gatherings. Since its opening, elder societies have often gathered and entertained here; the Aboriginal Rights Protection Association and the Women's Federation have often held meetings here. Although Feiyun Society has its own place, it sometimes holds small gatherings here. Occasionally, some elders would come here with some of their capable naturalized subjects to show their reward.

The private rooms here are specially designed with good sound insulation and privacy, and a variety of food and beverages are provided. The waiters are all maids below D level selected from the office and are well trained. The female waitresses who serve on the floor all have rings hanging around their waists, and they jingle and jingle as they walk, which reminds the elders who are having a secret conversation that a waiter is approaching.

The thoughtful and meticulous service has gradually made this place a major place for private exchanges among the elders and the core area for "outside the hospital" activities.

When Nanhai looked at his watch, he entered the purple milkvetch room, a common box of the Committee of Agriculture: several senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture had been playing Three Kingdoms for a long time here, and several other senior officials were sitting on the sofa, smoking hookah and using laptops - ―The teahouse private room is one of the few entertainment venues with full-day power supply and sockets.

Several people greeted him, and he agreed with them all. Then he came to the small bar in the salon and sat down. The maid serving at the bar saw him sitting down and poured a glass of "Hop Fai" brand gooseberry wine brewed by the Agricultural Committee Brewery without waiting for his instructions. According to his preference The ratio: a few pieces of ice. One third of the wine was filled with soda water, and a plate of salted peanuts was taken out as a snack to go with the wine.

Wan Lihui was sitting next to him, smoking a hookah with squinted eyes - he didn't inhale the smoke when he smoked hookah, he just enjoyed the atmosphere, and when he blew out all the smoke in his mouth into smoke rings, Wan Lihui said Then he said: "Old Wu, what do you think of the report my brother made in Jeju?"

Wan Lihuang has been busy promoting the cultivation of potatoes, citrus and Chinese cabbage in Jeju Island since he came to Jeju Island. Recently, alfalfa cultivation has been promoted in Jeju Island. to accommodate the needs of the island’s livestock industry. Agriculture was booming, especially potato cultivation. The first batch of potatoes was sown in the early summer of 1632, and by October we had the first big harvest of this crop on Jeju Island.

Although Wanlihuang only conducted trial planting in the farm fields of Standard Village near Sanseong, Jeju, he still achieved extremely impressive yields - the original yield of potatoes per mu is astonishing. The yield of modern potatoes can reach more than 2 tons per mu. Although Wan Lihuang did not have chemical fertilizers in his hands, he knew that plant ash could be used to replace the potassium fertilizer that potatoes needed most. Moreover, what he brought with him were improved seeds from another time and space. Coupled with modern field management methods, the average potato yield per mu in Jeju Island was still the same. Reached 900 kilograms. Even according to the standards of the old time and space, this level is enough to pass.

A large number of potatoes were harvested, and the local naturalized cadres were caught off guard and "didn't know how to store them." Potatoes have a high moisture content. If it is not processed and stored in time, it will rot and deteriorate. Fortunately, there are many places to eat on Jeju Island. Under Feng Zongze's instructions, potatoes were distributed as the main rations for the refugees.

In addition to simple stewing, roasting and other methods, a variety of potato products have also been specially developed. Foods with potato as the main ingredient, such as potato pancakes, potato cold noodles, potato and kelp flavored soup, etc., with the help of a variety of seasonings and other vegetables, the refugees even feel that they are eating better than before. .

Naturally, Feng Zongze looked at the commissioner of the Committee of Agriculture in a different light and showed great respect for him. The inexperienced Wan Lihuang was so praised that he was so dizzy that he didn't know what was going on.

Encouraged by this situation, Wan Lihuang proposed that the potato planting area in Jeju Island should be expanded by 200%. Sow seeds twice a year.

In this way, Jeju Island needs more than just potato seedlings. Expanding the sowing area requires a larger seedling cultivation base, facilities for processing and storing harvested potatoes, and more fertilizers—not just potassium fertilizers, but also nitrogen fertilizers. Even soil fertilizers and pesticides require a specialized production plant - these all involve expanding the scale of capital investment of the Council of Agriculture in Jeju Island. He also proposed setting up a local seafood processing factory.

Wu Nanhai drank wine: "Xiao Wan, you came just in time. I have read your brother's report carefully. It's very good! It's good that he is so enthusiastic about agricultural affairs in Jeju Island - Lao Feng also gave I wrote a letter and praised him very much. It’s not easy to become famous in less than a year after going to Jeju Island!”

When Wan Lihui heard the leader praising his brother, he couldn't help feeling warm in his chest and said quickly: "He is still relatively young..."

"It's good to be young. Young people should go out and have a try. Don't be careful about the technical support mentioned in the report. I have arranged for people to make a "Jeju Island Agricultural Production Reference Compilation" using materials from the big library. ", let the liner deliver it next time." As Wu Nanhai said, he thought that your brother had taken the lead for Feng Zongze. I am afraid that Feng Zongze was the one who wanted the projects in the report the most.

"I have tried my best to arrange all the materials he applied for. This time, 10 of the short-term trainees who graduated from the agricultural technical class have been specially arranged to go to Jeju Island, so you tell Xiaowan not to worry and just go ahead and do it."

"Thank you, Lao Wu." Wan Lihui nodded, feeling a little embarrassed thinking about the gossip he had with his brother in the past - Wu Nanhai was really a kind person, and his face had a slight fever.

"Why are you thanking me? It's all for work." Wu Nanhai said, "By the way, there are 10 animal husbandry and veterinary students in this group of students. The allocation is to send 6 to Nick, and your brother will keep 4 for himself - Don’t let Nick take all the people away. This island is not just about horse breeding, but other aspects of breeding will be carried out - breeding animals will be sent soon. These people have also received primary medical training, whether they are people or animals. He can help you when you are sick. Although his skills are a little rough, he is still more professional than the local doctors of time and space."

"I will get it, I will get it." Wan Lihui nodded excitedly, as if his brother's side was bright. Speaking of this, he felt that it was a bit difficult to mention a few more projects - after all, Old Wu was interesting enough, but he had to mention them, so he hesitated and said: "Do you have any of the projects mentioned in the letter? possible?"

Wu Nanhai gently knocked his cigar on the Jiangxi Jingdezhen pen washer that was used as an ashtray, letting the long ash fall down, and then said: "These projects should all be covered. However, the Ministry of Finance said that this year's foundation The construction investment has been used up and must be included in next year's budget. It is said that next year's budget is a bit tight, and our agricultural sector must unite and work hard to achieve it." He emphasized the word "unity".

"Didn't you say that you got more than one million silver from Zheng Zhilong?" Wan Lihui didn't believe it.

"When the cannon was fired, there were thousands of taels of gold. The loot was a lot, and the money was burned fiercely. When I heard that this time the military expense report came out, Lao Ma and Cheng Dong's faces turned green." Wu Nanhai's gains were vivid, as if he had seen them with his own eyes As if seeing it, he said, "Besides, there are many places to spend money now, and I heard that the currency system will be reformed next year, which will cost a lot of money..."

Wan Lihui will now notice something. Isn't Wu Nanhai using "emphasis on difficulties" to express that the project his brother wants to take on "has no money"?

"So it's very difficult?" Wan Lihui decided to test Wu Nanhai's true thoughts.

"Try our best to fight for it. We in the Ministry of Agriculture and Light Industry must fight for this piece." Wu Nanhai said decisively, "But you also know that when the Senate reviews the budget, there will be another famine in various departments. It’s still hard to pass if the budget we submitted is not fully met.”

The words were still very lively, as if they had not been said at all. Wan Lihui was quite disappointed. Wu Nanhai felt that the heat was almost over, and then said: "I have another idea about this matter, and I want to talk to you about it..."

After seeing off Wan Lihui who was eager to go back, Wu Nanhai came to the reserved Jasmine private room. On the sofa in a corner of the salon, several senior figures from the financial bureau who he specially invited today were all present. Wu Nanhai made a gesture, the waitress brought drinks and snacks, and they immediately got to the point of chatting.

This was the reason why he came here today to ask Chu Qing to reserve the Jasmine Room: he wanted to discuss with several financial elders: propose to the Senate to allow state-owned enterprises to issue stocks and bonds. The specific case is the issuance of agricultural development bonds of the Ministry of Agriculture and non-cumulative preference shares of directly affiliated enterprises throughout Hainan Island and Guangzhou.

The so-called preference shares, simply put, give shareholders the special right to receive fixed dividends from the company before ordinary shareholders and to receive the remaining assets in the event of bankruptcy and liquidation of the company. However, shareholders generally cannot participate in the company's operating activities. In fact, it is a form of debt financing.

Wu Nanhai plans to issue non-cumulative preference shares, and can only receive dividends based on the current year's profits. If the company does not perform well that year and cannot receive dividends, the undistributed dividends cannot be accumulated and cannot be paid later. It is equivalent to a corporate bond that does not promise annual interest.
