1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 15 The Food Problem

On April 1627, 4, the eighteenth day of the seventh day of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, according to the time of the old time and space, it should be Saturday. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "weekends and weekends" in the new time and space. Whether it is the leaders of the executive committee or ordinary members, everyone must devote themselves to the construction of the base. go.

However, before today's work was officially launched, the camp was in chaos because of the problem of washing.The cause of the incident is actually very simple, because the water purification facilities have not yet been completed, and fresh water control must be implemented in the base, so the amount of water everyone receives in the morning is only a lunch box, and this is the amount of water to rinse mouth and wash face, if you feel that it is not enough. Please go to the Tiandu River to solve it yourself.For the men who made up the vast majority of the Transmigration Congregation, this was not a particularly big problem, and it was overcome as soon as you closed your eyes.Because they finished work too late last night and were too tired, most people just lay down without having time to wash up, so in the morning, many old men took off their underwear and jumped into the river to wash and have a good time.

The men were happy, but the women didn't intend to just let the executive committee arrange it.Although there are only about 70 women in the group, they are quite powerful, and there are many leading figures who dare to stand out, such as Gu Kai's babe girlfriend Risa.

According to Gu Kai, Ruisha is of Ukrainian-American descent, and the claim that Ermaozi's family produces beautiful women has been verified once again by Ruisha. She has long legs and an angelic face. If you go to a beauty contest Must be able to get a good ranking.However, this Ruisha is not a vase. Like Gu Kai, she has a legal background. After knowing Gu Kai, she also taught herself Chinese for two years. Before crossing, she worked as a legal consultant in a company specializing in Sino-US trade.However, there is one thing that Gu Kai did not mention to the executive committee, that is, Resha also has the status of "California branch officer of the National American Human Rights Association".

"The current practice of the Executive Committee is unfair to us women. I ask the Executive Committee to immediately adjust the original freshwater control plan!" Standing at the front and the loudest is Ressa, although the accent is a bit strange, but the words are Pretty clear.

The committee member standing in front of Ressa was Baix. His physique was a bit shorter than that of Ressa, and he immediately became weak.It was also because of his bad luck that he happened to be by the side when the gang of women started making trouble, and he was pulled by Ressa.In this situation where his height is not dominant, Baix's aura is also at a disadvantage: "I said that...Miss Ressa, the freshwater control was decided by the executive committee at a meeting, and I can't order the change alone. Yours Ask me to report to the executive committee, but can you calm down everyone's emotions first?"

"Mr. Bai, it's not right for you to avoid the problem like this! You should first admit that the executive committee made a mistake in this issue, and then come up with a solution as soon as possible." Ressa didn't even plan to make any concessions, but instead Even more aggressive: "If this affects today's work arrangement, then we will think that this is the result of the Executive Committee!"

"That's right, Ms. Ruisha is right!" "That is, why don't you ask our lesbians' opinions when the executive committee formulates the plan!" "The fact that the executive committee does not have female members is a kind of prejudice in itself!"

Once there are opinion leaders who agree with their own interests, the voices of the people will soon be unified, and Baix, a man who has been divorced once, obviously lacks an effective way to deal with women's emotional release, and can only persuade verbally. Work, but this has made more and more people watching.

When Bai Kesi was at a loss, he caught a glimpse of Gu Kai tiptoeing past the crowd. How could such a life buoy be spared? Bai Kesi jumped out of the crowd and grabbed Gu Kai with a single step: "It's just in time for you to come, hurry up and persuade your daughter-in-law!"

Gu Kai's expression was not much better than that of Bai Kesi, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Bai, you really pulled the wrong person..."

Bai Kesi has not yet figured out what Gu Kai means by these words, but Ruisha's voice has already sounded behind him: "Dear, you are here just in time, you have to say a few words of justice!"

Baix's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he really seemed to have made a mistake.

Gu Kai coughed dryly and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Bai, in fact, I think the lesbians' request is somewhat reasonable. The work of the Executive Committee is inevitably sparse and ill-considered. Now there are people who help us check and fill the gaps. It's a good thing."

Bai Kesi sighed and raised his forehead: "I always thought that a weak scholar like me would be bullied by women, but I didn't expect that, Gu Kai, a big-eyed man with big eyebrows, actually betrayed the revolution, so you knelt down without hesitation!"

Gu Kai sneered and said: "This is called Junjie who knows the current affairs..."

As a result, this little mess was finally won by the women led by Ruisha. The Executive Committee had to urgently revise the freshwater control plan, doubling the daily living water quota for women on the original basis. This incident also became an opportunity for Ruisha to organize the establishment of the Women's Federation of Transmigration and take power.

There are three major projects in this day's work. One is the final reinforcement of the temporary wharf, after which the heavy materials on the ship can be unloaded.The second is the construction of prefabricated houses at Base No. 1627. After these houses are built, the Executive Committee will be able to allocate more manpower to roll out the construction plans that are still on paper.The third project is the agricultural plan mentioned by Mr. Yuan. There are a lot of rice seeds on the barge. If we want to catch up with the third crop of rice in the first year, the first season must be sown before Qingming. , According to the time calculation, April 4, 5, that is, two days later, is the Qingming of this year.Even two crops of rice must be sown in the ground by mid-April at the latest.

In fact, the food problem is not the most urgent thing. The shortage of vegetables is the most urgent thing for the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture.You must know that the consumption of such a large group of people is not a small amount, and the humid and hot weather in Hainan cannot store some leafy vegetables for too long. Most of the vegetables stored on the ship are some root vegetables and fruit vegetables, and the varieties are relatively monotonous. .This kind of recipe is fine for a day or two, but if it takes a long time, these people who are used to living a good life will have to spray the executive committee and the cooking team with blood.In the agricultural materials, there are many varieties of vegetables, which can be sown immediately as long as the ground is opened. Vegetables like water spinach that can be sown multiple times at one time can be eaten from early summer to the second half of the year after planting a few acres.

However, before that, it is estimated that a large-scale logging operation will be organized to clear enough open space, and this will involve large-scale manpower mobilization, which is definitely not an easy task.Some members have expressed doubts about whether Chuanzhong can withstand high-intensity labor for many consecutive days.You must know that although they have been trained and vaccinated beforehand, most of the people who participated in the crossing have the dream of coming to this world to be an uncle, a local tyrant, bullying men and women, but the reality is that they must be farmers The identity of a worker is hard to move bricks every day and there is no overtime pay. This huge gap may not be tolerated by everyone.

In the end, Tao Donglai set the tone for this matter: "As long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Everyone still has to do a good job in the ideological work of their own departments and do solid work, and Lao Yan also pays more attention to this problem. Among the members of the executive committee, you are the only one who is a genuine political cadre. Your ideological work is your specialty. Bring more comrades from other departments. In addition, the problem of food should be solved first, not limited to that on the ship. Reserve grain, we now have a large area of ​​natural resources that can be developed. We can think of ways to swim in the sea, fly in the sky, and run in the mountains. Only when you have enough food and good food can you have the strength to make a revolution! Yesterday, the logging team was not beaten by someone. A boa constrictor to make soup?"

"Wild boa constrictor is a national first-class protected animal." Ning Qi, who only drank half a bowl of soup last night, muttered angrily.

"Don't pay attention to those details. Besides, no animals are protected in this place where we are now." Tao Donglai waved his hand and said, "Master Bei said that no matter what animal is, you can eat it without its head! Okay, everyone. Let's split up and start today's work!"

When everyone came out of the tent, they were still discussing Tao Donglai's instructions in a low voice: "Which department does Master Bei belong to, why didn't you come to the meeting?"

"Master Bei is a man at the top of the food chain. You don't even know Master Bei, yet you dare to follow us to play in the wild in the Ming Dynasty!"

"If you meet Pei Ye, you will become the protein in his stomach properly..."

The communication team sent the PHS phone numbers that had already been written to the person in charge of each project before the members went to work. As for when the members would receive their personal phone numbers, Wu Zhuo said that the existing staff of the communication team It will take at least two days to complete the number-writing work.

Not long after the start of construction in the morning, the "Blitz", which was responsible for carrying out the vigilance mission in the harbor, called the headquarters: "We found two small fishing boats west of the harbor, looking towards the base."

Immediately, there was further news: "The father and son that Mr. Yan brought back yesterday were also on board."

Four other men were brought to the headquarters along with the father and son surnamed Yu. Of course, the guest translator Zhou Hengxing was called to stand by at this time.Several indigenous residents tremblingly expressed their desire to exchange their catch for food, and if there was still the refined salt they received yesterday, they would also like to exchange it.Although these fishermen also cook sea salt by themselves, the quality of the sea salt they produce is naturally incomparable with the industrial products brought by the different time and space.

Obviously, the goodwill cast by Chuanzhong yesterday had already had an effect, at least making these fishermen come here to barter.However, the amount of fish in the rattan baskets under their feet was really too small. It was a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of transmigrants. If they traded food with them like this, it would really cost the motor and electricity. What a big effect.

Soon the headquarters had a better idea, and asked Zhou Hengxing to tell the fishermen that they brought too little, and they had to use other methods to exchange food.For example, take a boat that crosses the crowd to cast a net for fishing in the harbor where there are many fish, or sell labor to help with logging.The goal of the headquarters is very clear. It is to find a way to incorporate these Ming people into its own labor force. If this road works, then the next step can consider attracting more Ming people to work here. food exchange.

Tao Donglai's order was more direct: "Let them park the boat on the shore and get on our boat."

Ning Qi reminded him: "Those iron-hulled fishing boats need to burn oil. Wouldn't it be too extravagant to send out fishing?"

Tao Donglai waved his hand and said, "Who said that the iron-hulled fishing boats went? The Yankees' two sailboats are not really for them to use for vacation. Let them bring these people, put on fishing nets, and go out to catch a good one. Pen. In addition, notify all departments to work harder, and there is a seafood dinner today!"
