After many days of work, hundreds of cubic meters of wood have been piled up in Yulin Fort. The wood has been piled up in the courtyard of Yulin Fort. Bai Guoshi knew that the best way to store wood is to store it in water, soaking it in fresh water.
The wood is insulated from the air and can last for a long time. But this requires sufficient water surface, which is not available near Yulin Fort.
If you adopt the dry storage method, it is simple and easy. The rainy season in Yulin has not yet arrived, so it dries very quickly. However, if the wood needs to be towed by ship in the future, the dried wood will quickly absorb water and sink at sea.
If it goes down, it will cause a lot of trouble for towing.
So he could only use the wet storage method, which had a certain impact on the wood, but was the most convenient. The harvested wood was piled into piles, each pile was about 25 cubic meters, and it was covered with branches. Suddenly,
I remembered Asan - coconut meat is often used as an ingredient in curry in India, so I made a mutton curry using coconut meat, mutton sent by Mr. Hu, pumpkin and seasonings left by the fleet. It was a hot, fragrant and spicy curry.
The juice was poured on the freshly cooked rice. Although the sailors were exposed to the spicy taste of chili for the first time and found it very novel, everyone had a great time eating it. That day happened to be a Friday, so Wang Tao made curry
He was the inventor of rice and established the habit of having curry rice every Friday in the Navy.
The activities in Yulinbao attracted Hu Xun's attention, so he crossed the bay in person to visit this group of newly settled residents on the pretext of delivering ready-made clothes. Wang Tao cooked curry rice again, which made Mr. Hu's mouth red.
Coupled with a cup of refreshing and delicious coconut juice, Mr. Hu was hooked. Now he asked for the recipe of this curry rice, and asked where the spicy and distinctive taste came from? Wang Tao knew that chili peppers were introduced to China
It was during the Wanli period, but apparently this crop was not known to exist here, so he told him that it was pepper, which came from outside the region. Hu Xun proposed that he want some seeds to plant back, but Yulinbao only had chili powder and chili sauce.
There were no seeds, only a bag of chili powder was given to him.
Hu Xun asked them if they harvested coconut trees in large quantities for overseas trade. He was very familiar with overseas trade and said that he had never seen any foreign ships transporting dried coconuts. Wang Tao quickly asked if there were any in Qiongshan County.
A businessman came to buy copra?
"I have heard that there are businessmen from Yazhou who collect dried coconuts, but they don't come often. Wenchang is only two days away from Qiongshan by sea. There are a hundred times more coconuts there than here, and the road is so close, why bother?
I’m here to buy dried coconut. Besides, it’s several days’ journey from Yazhou City, so it’s beyond our reach.”
Wang Tao wondered if the copra merchants in Qiongshan were not as tightly controlled as they thought. Lin Quan'an was either lazy and fabricating reasons, or he had never been to such a desolate place. But then he thought about it, he was a businessman, after all.
Going to the city to trade is naturally not the same path as a pioneer team like myself.
"To be honest," Wang Tao said, "Brother, I opened an oil-pressing workshop in Lingao, specializing in drying coconuts to squeeze oil. I can make a lot of money by selling them overseas in Australia. But Lingao doesn't produce coconuts, so I searched everywhere.
"
These words were specially told to Hu Xun, making him feel that this was an opportunity for cooperation. Unexpectedly, Mr. Hu didn't care about this matter at all. He only called a few haha and said that people from the county would come to the countryside in a few days.
It happened that I could help them with the establishment of the village, but they had to spend some time in socializing. Wang Tao understood and gave Mr. Hu some sugar and two bottles of Guoshi Wushuang wine, saying that he would pay him separately after the work was completed.
Wang Tao was slightly disappointed after sending Hu Xun off. Originally, he thought that Mr. Hu would take the initiative to participate in the business of collecting coconut trees. After all, Yulinbao has a small population and a weak force. With a local snake like Hu Xun joining, it would be a disadvantage in the local area.
Not to mention having an extra layer of protection, there would also be a lot more manpower. But in the end, there was no response at all.
He didn't expect that a wealthy man from a remote place like Mr. Hu, who had extremely limited knowledge and was used to being plucked by geese and waiting for his days of filial piety, would be willing to engage in such a laborious industry. Whether it was logging in Yulinbao,
It doesn't matter if you pick coconuts, as long as you give him some benefits, whether you can make greater profits is not within the scope of consideration.
Bai Guoshi said: "It's a pity that the people in Anyu Market and his village are there, otherwise it would be no problem for us to light up all the coconuts."
Lao Di said: "You just occupy the latrine and don't poop. From now on, we will simply destroy him. All the people in it will be merged into Yulinbao."
"When our large group of immigrants arrives in a few months, Mr. Hu will definitely not be able to sit still. Then he will naturally have to show his cards. Should he obey our leadership, or prepare to annihilate himself from the people?" Wang Tao sighed, "
If you don’t take part in such a good opportunity to join the revolution - you could at least become a democrat and your children and grandchildren would be able to join the local CPPCC, but now if you don’t make it right, you will become a wealthy landowner and rebel against the right.”
He sighed and sighed that the work of collecting resources was still going on. Because he was bored after work, Yulinbao often exchanged electricity with Lingao Main Station and Changhuabao to exchange life conditions and personal feelings. Ding Ding was in Lingao once.
After seeing the telegrams sent by Gao Telecom, the reception desk of Gao Telecom was inspired. He used the materials in the telegrams to write an essay called "Yulingang Night Talk" and signed it as "Southern Sentinel".
"Lingao Times" did not expect to be very popular among time-travelers, so Wang Tao was appointed as a special correspondent, and he would write a newsletter every few days, which he would polish and serialize. Wang Tao lived up to expectations and immediately came back after receiving the telegram.
I wrote an article. Tintin worked non-stop, revising and polishing it all night long. After finishing the layout, he handed the manuscript to Zhou Dongtian on wax paper early in the morning to prepare for printing.
Unexpectedly, the newspaper was not ready for printing, so Ding Ding received a call from Zhou Dongtian.
"The newspaper can no longer be printed," Zhou Dongtian said helplessly. "I received a notice from the relevant departments above: There is a confidentiality issue in the Yulingang Notes series of prose, and it must be deleted before the Times can print it. In addition, the newspaper that was published a few days ago is notifying everyone.
It will be recycled." He added, "He also said that in the future, any article that publishes such news in the Times must be submitted for inspection before going to print-"
"Whose stupid rule is this!" Ding Ding almost jumped up. After the D-Day, he and Pan Pan ran a husband-and-wife shop with no funds and no benefits. They were basically a gangster. It took a lot of effort to get to the "Times" and become an official
Establishment, and now suddenly there is a familiar "notice from the relevant superior department"!
"MMD, I haven't written about the corruption issue of the Executive Committee yet! Let me talk about it first!" Ding Ding immediately found the Executive Committee compound.
Entering the compound, he hesitated again: Everyone in the travels had experience working in government agencies, and they knew that the “relevant departments at higher levels” that were shrouded in mist were the most difficult to find. They would be there when notifications were issued. Once you were looking for them,
No one in it admits that it is the "relevant department".
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the printing office to find Zhou Dongtian and inquire about inside information. Although he works in printing, he has been working part-time at the Internal Affairs Bureau. Since the reason is the so-called "leakage" issue, the relevant department is the Internal Affairs Bureau or the Internal Affairs Bureau.
The possibility of an intelligence port is very high.
Sure enough, Zhou Dongtian had some clues and said that the call came from Ran Yao. Of course Ran Yao and Ding Ding knew each other. He was originally working in the security team. After the organizational adjustment, he was transferred to the Internal Affairs Committee.
So he left the compound in one breath and came to the House Committee compound where few people usually go. However, he was stopped by two sentries at the door because he neither registered for an appointment in advance nor had a pass to enter the compound. The sentries were determined
He was not allowed to go in. After getting angry and showing off the authority of the leader, he still declared failure - "You can't enter without registration or pass. This is an order." The sentry couldn't speak Mandarin well, but this sentence was the only one he spoke fluently.
Ding Ding was kicked out from the door like a defeated rooster. He was about to report to the agency and go through the address book to find Ran Yao's mobile phone number before arguing, but he saw a fat man coming out of the yard with a swollen belly. Seeing this
In one scene, Teng Teng walked over slowly and asked, "What's the matter with this comrade?"
"You still call me a comrade! It's only been a few days since the D-Day landing!" Ding Ding was furious and shouted outright, "I want to see Ran Yao, Ran Yao, please come out! You are persecuting freedom of speech!"
The momentum had already attracted onlookers in the core area of Bairen City, but the House Committee was located in a remote area, and no one paid attention to it even if it broke their throats.
"Stop shouting, Ran Yao went to Bopu to host a meeting. Are you Ding Ding? Let's talk." The fat man was still amiable.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm a clerk of the committee, little guy." The fat man said with a smile on his face.
This was the first time for Tintin to enter the courtyard of the House Committee. As soon as he entered the courtyard, which was made of blue bricks and covered with thorny plants, he felt a cold air rush straight up from his feet, and couldn't help but shudder.
Cold War. There is a two-story blue brick building with two wings in the courtyard. Many trees have been transplanted in the courtyard, which provides a strong shade from the sun.
The fat man let Ding Ding into a simple room not far from the door. There were some furniture and stationery in it. It was probably a place to receive visitors. Someone brought a cup of tea bag. Ding Ding sneered and said:
"Are you inviting me to tea?"
"You can also drink boiled water." The fat man said with a gentle face, "We don't have coffee here."
Ding Ding immediately talked about the restrictions on publication. He asked what the meaning of this so-called "confidentiality" was. Why can't the majority of time-travelers know the latest status of the current time-travel group? Do you still respect the majority of time-travelers?
Awareness of the right to know?
"This, of course, is respectful. The House Committee is just an ordinary organization." The fat man smiled tepidly and did not directly answer his question, "How many copies of "Lingao Times" are printed every day now?"
"Three hundred copies." Tintin said bitterly. Originally, he wanted to print a thousand copies, but there were gaps in the ink, paper, and printing equipment.
"According to the figures reported by the Times to the Planning Commission, more than half of these newspapers are delivered to travelers, including to departments, companies, and reading rooms in dormitories. Some of the remaining newspapers are sent to county offices, and some are sent to
Retailing in Dongmen City, right?"
"Yes. If more resources are allocated to me, the circulation can be even higher——"
"The more copies of the Times are published, the louder our voices will be to promote us and the greater our influence on the indigenous people. This is the established policy of the Executive Committee." The fat man said slowly, "But you think: once the newspaper is in the hands of the indigenous people,
A lot of news spread out inadvertently——"
"That's why? Then from now on, when Mr. Wen, Ma Dugong and other time travelers go to the newspaper, should they use pseudonyms and code on their faces? Don't publish anything in the newspaper, just write that today is fine, or just print it.
Let’s have some long speeches from Du Wen!”
"Don't be anxious." The fat man said still lightly, "I have read the series of reports on Yulingang, they are very good. Everyone's evaluation is also very high. The reason why the House Committee does not agree to publish this article is because it cares about the comrades who have gone to overseas stations.
Our safety - the time, place, people, equipment and everything in the report are included. If the newspaper leaks out and is seen by Liu Xiang or other people who are unfavorable to us - the small fortress of more than a dozen people will be destroyed in an instant.
Went out."
Ding Ding was horrified. Thinking this way, he was indeed negligent. But he was unwilling to accept it and said stubbornly: "Yulin is not called Yulin now! Where could people from the Ming Dynasty have the ability to deduce it?"
"Let's call Dadonghai Dadonghai." The fat man said, "There is also Anyuyue City. They are both names of this time and space. How could people in the Ming Dynasty not know about it? It even states that Anyoulai City is opposite Yulin Fort.
How can we be clear about it?"
Ding Ding was speechless. He obviously felt that he was justified, but he couldn't argue with the big hat of the other party. The interests of the time-travelling people came first. It can't be said that the personal safety of these people is not as good as everyone's right to know.
