Riverside Police.

Chapter 23 The engine floating on the water
Just as I was about to talk about someone reselling foreign exchange certificates, several people suddenly came.

They all came by bicycle, looking like cadres, very restrained and even a little scared. Two of them said they were looking for Li Weiguo, and the others said they were looking for Lao Zhang.

Xu Sanye has a great reputation, and Han Yu doesn't think anyone dares to come to the Yanjiang police station to speak out.

Packed up the bowls and chopsticks and went out to have a look, it really was a gift for someone to surrender!

A dozen men and women who had bought tickets for the ticket dealers stood in the yard with their heads drooping, not daring to approach the office.

Looking back at the cadres who were in a hurry to smoke, Han Yu secretly laughed that he was also turning himself in, but in his opinion, it was safer to turn himself in to the instructor and Lao Zhang than to look for Xu Sanye.

At this time, another person pushed a bicycle and brought six distraught people into the yard.

The person pushing the bicycle was in his 50s and was wearing an old military uniform.

Xu Sanye knew him very well, and he knew that the relationship should be good. He invited him into the director's office and asked Han Yu to get a bottle of boiling water.

All the boiled water at noon was drunk, and I forgot to boil it at night.

Han Yu quickly burned a bottle and came downstairs, knocked on the door and walked into the office, looking for a cup to help make tea.

Xu Sanye stubbed out the cigarette butt, and introduced: "Lao Lei, this is Xiao Han from our school. I just got assigned this year, a technical secondary school student with good grades, and my grades in the high school entrance examination were No. 6 in the county!"

"Study so well, young man, how old is this year?"

"Salted fish, this is Minister Lei from the People's Armed Forces Department of Sichang Township. He is my good friend for many years."

"Hi Minister Lei, I am sixteen this year."

"It's only sixteen, I said it's so...so thin."

"Xiao Han is still young and can still grow."

Xu Sanye laughed and asked, "Lao Lei, the conscription is about to start, and you have something to do next."

"No, I heard that the meeting will start at the end of the month."

Minister Lei picked up the teacup, blew on the tea foam floating on it, and said with a smile, "But I'm not idle. When the public food is collected, we will organize militia training."

"How long have you been training this year?"

"Now it's different from when you were the battalion commander of the militia. The superiors don't pay much attention to the training of the militia, and the enthusiasm of the masses is not high. It seems that there are many basic militias, but they are busier than each other. They can only find thirty or forty people to train one." Week."

"Can't hit a target."

"Targets must be shot. If you don't shoot targets, it's nothing like militia training."

"Call me in advance when you are sure about the target shooting day. Xiao Han has just started working and has never touched a gun. Our bureau has strict control over guns and ammunition, so I just took Xiao Han to shoot."

Minister Lei looked at him with a smile and asked, "You want to fight."

Xu Sanye grinned and said, "I haven't fired a gun for a long time, so prepare more bullets so that I can enjoy my gun addiction."

"Okay, I'll call you then."

Minister Lei smiled slightly, and then changed the topic: "Sanye, I came here with a mission. You can punish, scold, or even beat the village officials outside, but you can't arrest them."

"Why can't they be caught?"

"There are thousands of threads at the top and one needle at the bottom. The superiors have assigned so much work. If you arrest a few village cadres outside, who will do the specific work."

"If it is enough to pursue criminal responsibility, they will definitely be arrested. Isn't it just a few village cadres, and they will be re-elected at worst."

"Re-election, you put it simply. Now many township cadres have resigned and went to the sea, and the loss of village-level personnel is even more serious. As long as they have some skills, they will go out to make money. We are now coaxing others to do it."

Linghai is the hometown of modern industrialist Zhang Zhuangyuan in the late Qing Dynasty. Sichang Township got its name because Zhang Zhuangyuan opened Dasheng No. [-] Textile Factory here.

Linghai and the East China Sea are only separated by a river, all of which give Linghai a tradition of opening factories and doing business.

For example, in the textile industry, textile factories have been everywhere in recent years.

Another example is the shipping industry. There are more than 900 self-employed individuals buying ships for water transportation in the county, with a total load capacity of more than [-] tons.

As Minister Lei said, all capable people have gone to sea, and only those who have no ability will become cadres.

The times are changing so fast that no one even wants to be a cadre...

Xu Sanye sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.

Here is Minister Wu, the trustee of the Sichang Township Government, who came to intercede for those village cadres.

In the next two offices are several cadres from the Commercial Bureau and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, who are interceding for the employees of several state-owned stores, state-owned hotels and warehouses in Bailong Port.

The so-called intercession is not to make big things into small things, or make small things into nothing.

I'm just worried that the impact will be too bad, and I hope the Yanjiang police station will not make a fuss about it.

As for those people who participated in the reselling of boat tickets, they can be punished in whatever way they want, as long as they are not paraded in the streets or detained.

In short, those who surrender at night are all people who want to save face.

Xu Sanye, Li Weiguo, and Lao Zhang were so busy that they didn't rest until after one o'clock in the night.

With Lao Liu and other policemen from the Bailonggang Police Station joining in, the pressure on the second day was not as great as before, and basically all those who were busy until dark and should surrender themselves came.

Only a few old men and women took chances, knowing that the police knew about their involvement in ticket reselling, but they didn't come.

The deadline given is five days, and today is the weekend again.

Xu Sanye was not in a hurry to arrest people, and let Li Weiguo and Lao Zhang, who had been busy for more than half a month, go home and have a good rest.

He rushed to the pier with Han Yu early in the morning to welcome Zhang Jiangkun who came to help repair the ship.

For a long time, the two certificates that people yearn for the most and are the most difficult to get, one is a university diploma, and the other is a grade-eight worker certificate!

There are many eighth-level workers in large units like the Port Authority, but there are no large units in Linghai, and eighth-level workers are rare.

In Xu Sanye's opinion, Xiao Xianyu's brother-in-law is definitely a man of great ability, respectful and enthusiastic, and specially asked Lao Qian, a cook who just started work, to cook a few more dishes at noon.

To Han Yu's surprise, the brother-in-law not only brought his sister and children, but also invited an electrician in his 30s.

Bian Sanlun couldn't sit down, so Xu Sanye simply asked Zhang Zhang of the Bailonggang Police Station to arrange a jeep to deliver him.

The meritorious service is established together, and the benefits are shared together. The two families are now as good as wearing a pair of trousers.

Zhang Suo was very helpful, and quickly asked the driver to bring the car over, and sent Zhang Jiangkun and others to the Yanjiang Police Station.

When the police relatives come to the institute for the first time, of course they must first visit the working and living environment.

Like a commentator, Xu Sanye just finished introducing the situation in the institute, and then turned around and said, "Salted fish, didn't you take photos in uniform? Lao Li said that you also took photos when you went to the East China Sea, so I'll show them to you." Sister and brother-in-law have a look."

"What's so interesting about the photos, why don't you go and see the boat first."

"Why do you look like a big girl, twitchy."

Han Ning really wanted to see the photo of his younger brother in uniform, and said with a smile, "San'er, let's take a look."

Han Yu had no choice but to open the drawer and take out the solo photos taken at the Bailonggang photo studio, as well as the group photos with Lao Zhang and Lao Liu on the boat and on the Bund.

Han Ning took a look and said with a chuckle: "It's a good shot, but I'm sorry to let us see it."

"Very powerful, very good."

Zhang Jiangkun came over to have a look, turned back and smiled and said, "Brother Xu, let's see how this little photo of my San'er is doing."

"It looks good, wearing a uniform is spiritual!" The electrician nodded.

Han Ning hugged the child and asked, "How many have you washed?"

Han Yu scratched his neck: "I washed four photos alone, and only one photo with Uncle Li Zhi Liu."

"Does the single person have negatives?"

"Have."

"Then give me the four singles."

"What do you need so many photos for?"

"Keep one at home, give one to grandma, give one to our parents later, and give one to Han Shen."

Fearing that his younger brother would disagree, Han Ning said confidently, "It's not that you don't have any negatives, so just send the negatives and have them reprocess a few more."

They were all shot in women's uniforms, and they would be laughed at if they met knowledgeable ones.

Han Yu was embarrassed and depressed, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only bite the bullet and put the photo in an envelope and hand it to his sister.

Zhang Jiangkun and the others came to check the door today, and they also came to help repair the ship. After chatting for a while, they changed into work clothes and came to the shipyard.

Hang the cylinder first to confirm that the crankshaft and other important components are not damaged.

Then check the starter motor, battery, chain winch...

The master electrician went up and down, in and out, like a doctor diagnosing, and then took out a pen and paper to open a list, listing several large pages of electrical instruments, switches, and wires and cables to be purchased.

Han Ning carried the child on board the boat and took a look at it. He was overwhelmed by the heat, and went back to rest in the pergola.

Xu Sanye said before that he would do small jobs when he had time, but today he really changed into work clothes to help. After all, hanging tanks is both technical work and physical work.

After working all morning, I was completely soaked.

On the way back to the institute for lunch, Han Ning recalled those days on the boat and sighed: "It's hot in summer and cold in winter. I don't want to go on a boat again in my life."

Han Yu wiped off his sweat and said with emotion, "It's already late autumn, and the cabin is still so hot."

Xu Sanye didn't know how cold the boat was in winter, but he had experienced how hot it was in summer, so he turned around and asked, "Master Xu, can we install air-conditioning on the boat?"

"Yes, but it doesn't make sense to install it in the cabin."

"What about the cockpit and the command pod below it?"

"The two cabins can be installed. Director Xu, if you really want to install it, I will help you install a switch box for switching the power supply. The electricity generated by the ship is used when sailing, and the electricity on the shore is used when berthing. This is more economical. .”

"Is it worthwhile to use the electricity generated on the ship?"

"Of course it's not cost-effective. When the main engine starts up, it burns not oil but money."

Xu Sanye had never considered fuel, so he subconsciously asked, "Master Zhang, what is the fuel consumption of this boat for an hour?"

Zhang Jiangkun thought for a while and said with a smile: "A general ship has an engine on board, and a tugboat has a hull on the engine. It can be said to be an engine floating on the water. The two main engines are old machines. If they are fully powered , an hour is estimated to burn thirty to forty liters of diesel."

"How much is a liter of diesel now?"

"During this period of time, the price of oil has risen sharply, and it has already risen to [-] yuan."

It costs 50 yuan of oil to burn in an hour...

Xu Sanye thought he heard it wrong, and subconsciously turned around.

Seeing him looking over, Han Yu hurriedly said, "Almost, and it doesn't mean that you can drive the boat away just by sailing. You need to warm up the boat before sailing."

Xu Sanye asked: "How long will it be hot?"

"It will take half an hour anyway."

"The fuel consumption is so high, this is a gas tiger!"

"Xu Suo, this is a tugboat. It used to be used to tow a fleet of ships. Without such a powerful power, how could it be able to tow so many barges full of cargo?"

The Yanjiang police station covers more than 40 kilometers of Yangtze River waters. If you drive a tugboat to patrol the river back and forth, one month's salary is not enough to burn oil.

Xu Sanye suddenly regretted repairing the boat, and said dumbfoundedly: "It's too fuel-intensive, we can't afford to repair it."
