The vast wastelands on both sides of the Nandu River also attract agricultural residents to establish plantations.n∈n∈,
"This time, I plan to inspect Haikou and make plans for building the first demonstration farm in the north of Hainan Island."
Wu Nanhai nodded: "Then let Dugu propose and go with you. He told me that he wants to go to Wenchang, and mainly focus on the first batch of immigrants allocated to the agricultural population, and select a group of future employees."
What Dugu proposes to do every day is to plant rice with bare feet, and every night he dreams of washing his feet and landing on the beach. If Agricultural Port builds a reclamation system, someone will have land, and it will naturally be a steel barrier to the planned economy. With the people he supports,
The political spectrum overlaps quite a bit, so it is naturally a path upward. Therefore, he is very motivated and is a top leader in the running department.
However, these two people were well aware of Dugu's intention to propose marriage but did not point it out: after all, what they did was beneficial to the department.
When the sun was shining brightly on that day, Yun Suji and Dugu proposed to marry them and set off from Lingao in a mighty manner with four carriages. By the time the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, they had already stopped at the post station in Chengmai County.
After the victory of the Lingao Defense Battle, as part of the "Grand Cross Road" transportation plan, a prisoner-of-war brigade was organized at the intersection to invest more than 3,000 people. It took two months to complete the Chengmai Highway along the direction of the Hainan West Line Expressway in the old time and space.
During the construction of the cinder gravel road to Qiongzhou Prefecture, all the stations along the way were renovated, and poinciana trees were planted on both sides of the road. In the old time and space, the poinciana plants were tall and drooping due to the horizontal spreading of the crown. They were thick and wide and attracted the wind. In tropical areas
Playing the role of a shade tree, in the new time and space, the Poinciana tree has also been selected as a tropical street tree by the transportation department, growing lushly on both sides of the roads in Lingao, Sanya and other places.
Now there is new scenery on the roadside. Black telegraph poles have been erected, and the first phase of the island's wired telegraph project has been roughly completed. The wired telegraph has connected Chengmai, Qiongshan and Wenchang from Lingao to the west.
Yun Suji came all the way. What he saw were farmland that had been harvested. Now the farmland is planted with rice field green manure: milkvetch. As far as the eye can see, there is already a little bit of green. Out of the long-term battle, agricultural technicians are on the front line.
With his keen observation ability, he noticed at a glance that the number of farmers in the field was obviously low.
"A good man doesn't earn six months' worth of money," he said secretly.
This is a common saying. Although it is not June now, the busy season of autumn harvest and autumn planting has passed. Farmers have gone back to store their grains. During the slack period, very few people go to the fields. In the past, Yun Suji laughed at the Southeast Asian natives who did nothing and did not work all day.
He originally thought that this saying among the people was just a word of mouth, and no one would waste money without making any money. However, in the past two or three years in Hainan, he felt deeply that this saying contained real gold.
In the first year after the Senate landed, the villagers saw money like mosquitoes saw blood, and various construction speeds were repeatedly refreshed under the heavy rewards. However, with the help of the Tiandi Society, after the initial improvement of rural life, many people became rich and settled.
The future Dad Tea has not yet been born. In the dozen or so relatively wealthy villages around Dongmen City, there are already many people who are addicted to the "Australian lifestyle" and "senior enjoyment". These wealthy farmers have nothing to do all day long.
Drinking tea and drinking in Dongmen Market, or squatting in a shop and sailing a big boat, they know that they can live a better life if they work harder, but they are already very satisfied with their current life. Some people even ask for tax as usual every winter
The corvee labor for farmland and water conservancy construction has also disappeared. New immigrants are directly hired to do the work for them.
This point is not only felt by him and Tiandihui, but also by veterans on the front lines of industry and agriculture and engaged in civil affairs. Elders with financial expertise proposed that agricultural taxes should be appropriately increased and the gap between industry and agriculture should be expanded to reduce the disposable income of farmers.
This is almost a common practice in late-industrial countries. In the absence of overseas markets, the industrial system is built by exploiting rural surplus value to the maximum extent. Although the Senate has a huge overseas market, it is always dissatisfied with its desire for funds and manpower.
of.
In the view of financial professionals, the living standards of farmers under the rule of the Senate have improved too fast. The increase in disposable income makes them inevitably use their surplus accumulation to improve their lives - this is human nature. However,
The industrial system of the Senate is already very weak. A large amount of accumulation and industrial production capacity must be used in the production of export commodities and expansion of infrastructure investment. Now in order to meet the needs of the private market and maintain the stability of the currency value of circulating notes, we have to increase the amount of investment in circulation.
Production and sale of goods for the local market.
This proposal caused great controversy within the Senate: the Senate wants to make Lingao's new society have a "lighting effect", and improving farmers' living conditions is the most effective way in this time and space. Forcibly reducing farmers' income will not only damage this
A policy can also have a negative impact on people's morale.
Someone with good intentions took a different approach and listed a history of the development of Hainan's agricultural reclamation system with workers from Sichuan and Hunan as the main body. After reading that post, Yun Suji couldn't help but feel sad, and they determined to move around and start from the "Engine" plan.
Immigrants are determined to demand a bigger share of their plate.
Although the Planning Institute was very pleased with the efforts of agricultural dignitaries, some people still questioned whether northerners could grow rice and tropical crops. Dugu Sui, who was in charge of the running department at the time, replied: "The discipline requirements of plantations are no less than those of industry and mining."
.We have enough whips and gallows."
No one doubts this.
The northern immigrants resettled in Qiongbei were interspersed with Fujianese and resettled according to the model of standard villages. Among them, 50 standard villages were established in Lingao, 35 in Chengmai, and 12 in Qiongshan.
What is annoying is that the mentality of being content with a small amount of money prevents Standard Village from maximizing efficiency. Wu Nanhai is very dissatisfied with this - he praised Haikou in the Government Affairs Council, and he cannot explain it unless the output is captured.
So I told them to read and listen to as much as possible during this survey and try to find out the crux of the problem.
"The traditional thinking that a good man doesn't make six months' money must be broken by farming!" Yun Suji thought to himself.
Out of the importance they attach to Qiongzhou's capital, the Senate has not directly entered Qiongzhou's capital so far. Instead, it has built a new town in the Haikou area. At the same time, it has also established an army base: Haikou Fort.
As for Tang Yunwen's navy, which was originally stationed at Baisha Water Village in Haikou, it has now become a complete display. Soon after the fiasco in Chengmai, General Tang Shen sent people to Guangzhou and other places to seek transfers. Now he neither patrols the sentries nor orders his troops.
They receive a monthly allowance of 800 yuan in circulation coupons from the Senate and are waiting to be transferred. The remaining remaining soldiers also rely on the Senate's "pay" - of course it is not free, they have to work in exchange for it. Many able-bodied soldiers simply
They went directly to the Australians, and the rest were all the old, weak, sick and disabled who the Australians looked down upon.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism established a horse transfer station using the post station in Chengmai. Yun Suji and Dugu proposed to change horses and continue their journey. Mongolian horses are not well adapted to the environment in Hainan, and the mortality rate is quite high, so they must be used with care.
There were a veteran guard standing on the left and right of the four carriages, eight in total. They wore tropical colonial helmets, short-sleeved sandals, and pistols. All the carriages looked exactly the same, but the two of them were riding in the fourth carriage.
The first three cars were occupied by naturalized civilian staff and cadres who were going with them. All large and small luggage were neatly bundled on the top of the carriages.
When passing by Shishan, Yun Suji spoke up. He proposed to Dugu and asked about the deeds of the agricultural vehicle detachment in chasing down the defeated Ming army in this area. Although Dugu did not participate in the battle, he went to the battlefield soon after the battle.
He knew a lot about this, and he was so happy talking about it that he even took out his pad and drew a picture of the battlefield situation for Yun Suji.
"At that time, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Agricultural vehicles chased them all the way. The ground was full of corpses. It was like a river of blood..." He couldn't help but immersed in his memories. "Look, that was the resting place built after the battle."
The monument was specially built for the dead Ming army soldiers. Under the hill are the remains and ashes of the fallen soldiers." He pointed to the lonely stone monument standing on a hill outside Chengmai County.
"Where are our people?"
"They are all buried in Cuigang. This is the monument to the Battle of Chengmai." He pointed to another mound: "That is the ruins of the Tucheng built at that time."
Facing Chengmai County, a tall cylindrical monument stands on the ruins of an earth embankment that has collapsed into mounds but can still be roughly recognised. At the top stands a double head cast from a captured bronze cannon and standing on a gear wheat ear.
Eagle emblem.
Yun Suji noticed that the hills were lush and green, but there were no trees or shrubs. They were surrounded by criss-crossing farmland and woods. A winding path led directly to the foot of the monument, which was obviously maintained by someone.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Dugu proposed and said: "The Chengmai County Office is responsible for the management of this place. The students from Fangcaodi come here every year to camp and practice, and they also clean up the surrounding environment."
"This is right," Yun Suji said, "Only by educating the next generation well can we pass on our business."
"It's easy to educate the next generation well, but this generation is the most difficult to educate." Dugu proposed, "Do you know what number the military emblem on this is?"
"?"
"The third one." Dugu proposed and smiled, "Because it's copper, but it's not all copper. It's just a wooden frame covered with copper. If the prisoner is caught, he will be sent to a labor camp - I suggested at that time that
The body was quartered directly under the monument, but the legal experts disagreed - but the second military emblem was lost a few months after it was ready and installed. This time the circuit court sentenced him to death for "disrespect" and he was hanged in front of the monument.
, the third one will be very smooth when installed.”
"After all, you are still poor..."
"No, in fact, they are not poor anymore, at least not to the point where they need to steal to survive. They were hungry before we came, but what about now? The few thieves caught have a stable source of livelihood." (Unfinished)
