"Who would come to this wilderness to steal railway tracks? Are they tired of living?" Zhuo Tianmin disagreed.
"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 radius of dozens of miles. Zhuo Tianmin can't imagine how many thieves there will be in these poor residential areas with a total population of less than 200 or 300 people. What are they going to do after stealing the railway tracks?
Use. He felt that this 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 "public security purge" 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 Anyu Market, concentrate the population, and force immigrants 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 by such a large-scale war was limited, and it would take manpower and material resources to resettle it. The cost-effectiveness ratio was not high. In the end, only a courtesy inspection was approved for these villages.
Visit and get to know each village, and see if there are any resources and information that can be collected.
"Instead of arresting them all and forcing them to work, it is better to use material benefits to lure them." He Fanghui said, "Besides, since they can live on, they will definitely develop the nearby areas to a certain extent, and we can still obtain resources from them to some extent. I propose that local
Open a cooperative and use commodity exchange to penetrate into the inland areas."
"The potential consumer population in several villages is too small."
"There are also Li people in the interior," He Fanghui said. "They have no money, but they have mountain products. 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 non-governmental 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 need to do everything. Let the cooperative set up a sales agency and find a few small traders to operate it. We will just provide policies and provide supply." Wang Luobin said, "But I went to see Xia An
The land for the amusement park 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 it 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."
"Now 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 repaired in another week, but the road surface grade is not high, and only people and wheelbarrows can pass it."
"As long as people can get up there, it's a victory." Wang Luobin said, "As long as people can get 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 the Tiandu Mine and knew the local geological conditions very well. The reserves of the Tiandu Mine are not very large, but the burial is very shallow. The diameter of the mineable pit is only three hundred meters. The ore body is very regular.
Just peel off the topsoil and pull up the mining section to mine. 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 developing Nanbao, large-scale blasting that uncovered the top was carried out. However, Panda conducted an on-site survey and said it was very difficult.
"To completely peel it 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's not black powder."
Everyone knows that this is impossible. Not to mention where ten tons of nitroglycerin explosives come from - the grease used to make glycerin is still a scarce material. Even if there are ready-made explosives, shipping them is still a risky business. The navy only transports them once.
Just call me a mother-in-law once.
"It would be best to build an explosives factory locally, even if it can only produce black powder." Panda said, "The mining that will follow will have a huge demand for explosives, and it would be inconvenient and unsafe to transport them from Lingao. Besides, this place is inherently
We need to build a copra factory to extract oil and make 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, start with a small blast and peel off the earth and rock layers layer by layer until the ore layer is exposed. The black powder and ammonium nitrate are enough for a month. After blasting, manually clean up a working surface. Once the working surface is established, use manual mining and then cooperate with it.
Fire off 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, you'll have to blow it up a few more times."
"Let's do it like this." Wang Luobin agreed, "The ants are gnawing at 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."
Rainfall increases significantly in summer, and there is the risk of a frontal attack by typhoons. 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 Development Headquarters is full of enthusiasm for rapid progress: the elders are working almost day and night, and the lights are not turned off all night. Everyone knows that the Senate and the Executive Committee are watching Sanya, and the sooner the
The more iron ore is shipped out, the louder the voice will be in the Senate 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 work 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.
Statistics include 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 need to be sent back to Lingao immediately. Representatives of the Planning Institute only report on the progress of the project in daily telegrams the manpower and materials that need to be supplemented. However, after Wu De took office, he particularly emphasized the need to establish a complete file system and required all projects to
Establish files for future review, summarizing experiences and lessons learned, and holding people accountable.
Wang Luobin looked at the various marks on the project progress chart at the headquarters board in Yulinbao. Every day, wired telegrams reported the latest progress of each construction site to the general headquarters. He kept drawing on the progress chart those that exceeded or failed to meet the target on time.
Mark, adjust the labor force, machinery and materials. Calculate how long it will take to ship out the iron ore. According to the plan of the Planning Institute, the first shipment of ore will be shipped 10 months after the d day, and the annual output will be 18 months later.
The production scale of 10,000 tons of iron ore will be expanded to an annual output of 60,000 tons in 24 months.
Seeing this schedule, Wang Luobin felt a little unsure. This job was far beyond his previous work experience. He had also been a project leader in the past, but this was the first time he had handled such a large and critical project, let alone
He said that he actually didn’t have much knowledge about infrastructure mining. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and learn while doing it.
Overall, the situation in all aspects is improving. The death rate from work-related injuries has dropped to an acceptably low level, and people who have been recuperating due to malaria have begun to regain their ability to work. The number of available laborers has experienced 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 work-related injury has been repaired, and now it is operating normally except for occasional parts damage and minor malfunctions. The brick kiln of the Sanya Brick and Tile Factory is a continuous kiln that uses steel wire ropes and iron slide cars, and is more efficient than Lin
The wheel kiln is much higher. 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 supply, the bricks, tiles, stone and lime are completely solved locally in Sanya. Timber
The 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 tonnage of the warehouse originally occupied by these bulk goods will be changed to load coal. Currently, Sanya
The demand for coal is gradually increasing.
The Planning Institute's requirement is that Sanya must ensure at least fifteen days of coal reserves in addition to daily coal use. The importance of steam engines and boilers to Chuan Chuan Group has risen to the level of "dependence".
The only problem is that the quality of the boilers is still worrying. The 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.
A major overhaul was carried out on 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.
I was disturbed and uneasy. I thought that this group of "Australian pirates" was at war with who knows who.
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. However, no one around him recognized him, which made him feel guilty.
He doesn't know how this group of pirates - he now knows that they are the so-called Australian pirates - are going to deal with him?
He was worried about his own life, and he was 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. This was not the fat that everyone coveted.
What is it? What's more, they turned out the lights and the old sow was still a pirate!
The sound of cannon fire every day intensified his fear. Inland, as far as he knew, there was no force other than the Li people. Fighting with the Li people obviously did not require such abuse of firearms. As for the government troops, even if they were to come
It will only come by sea, and will never come through the grass on land.
He always wanted to know something from his guards - including where they came from, what they were doing here and most importantly - what they planned to do to him? But the guards said nothing to him, even if they wanted to speak.
The simplest and most necessary words, and the same was true between them. Hu Xun wondered where these expressionless people came from? How could they 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 person who came was an Australian - Hu Xun knew that he was from the same family as the so-called shopkeeper Lingao Wang, and they were both so-called Australian shorthairs. He was of medium build, burly, with a shaved head, a double chin, and dark bags under his eyes.
, thick lips. Wearing a gray short coat commonly worn by Australian shorthairs, with a backpack and a bamboo hat slung across his body. His appearance and grooming far exceeded all of Hu Xun’s social experience. It was unclear where this person came from.
.
He Fanhui asked him politely about his living conditions here and how his health was.
"I'm in good health. You treat me well as a prisoner of this rank." 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, thinking that this was the first time for such a shameless guy to feel grateful after being robbed of his family's property by you? What kind of 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 situation was.
"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 your house. Everything is safe at home, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Mr. He." Hu Xun was slightly relieved when he heard that his house was safe. His whole family was a piece of cake, and there was no need for the other party to deceive him.
"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. The wind was bright and sunny outside, and the sun was dazzling. Hu Xun, who had not been out of the house for a month, was so dizzy that he almost fell to the ground. Then, under the special care of "
He was escorted back 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 brothels and small restaurants are still open for business. The inns where maritime merchants stayed
The warehouse was also safe, and there were people wearing black jackets and belts guarding the door.
My mansion has not changed, but the door is closed. When I return home, I will be surprised and sighing. Fortunately, everyone is safe, and the pirates do not come to harass me. Vegetables and fish are also delivered every few days.
Shrimp and grain, no money required
"Everything is peaceful at home, not even a penny or a mosquito is missing, but 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 confused and he didn't know what this group of people wanted to do. It seemed that this group of guys who sometimes called themselves Lingao people and sometimes called themselves Australians were planning to stay here for a long time. You could 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 were two different opinions in the Sanya Military Commission on how to deal with the former Baozheng of Anyu Market. The most extreme one believed that Hu Xun was an old force.
The leader 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 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 of cruelty. If they encounter such people in the future, wouldn’t they 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. Not good." Wang Luobin thought over and over again and felt that it was better not to make too many enemies at this stage. In the end, he decided to keep him as an example for recruiting surrender and rebels in the future.
So Hu Xun was placed under house arrest and was not allowed to go out. They could keep ten servants in their home. 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 youngest son who was under ten years old, the other two were sent to Lingao to "study", which is equivalent to hostages. Hu Xun couldn't understand how Lingao became Australian.
But he was unable to stop them, so he had to pack up and send them on their way.
It turned out that the master under Hu Xun 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, who had family members in the local area, were organized into a labor team, and the single men were transported back to Lingao to supplement the labor force. As for Hu Xun's fellow clan members, all their relatives were sent to Lingao for resettlement.
