Chapter 190 Preparation of supplies

There is no large coastal plain near Black Tu Port. The mountainous terrain makes local agricultural development face huge difficulties. It is definitely not feasible to plant rice on a large scale like the east coast of Vietnam. However, after the local management committee,

After field inspections, we believe that some tropical cash crops, especially those that can produce spices, rubber, edible oil and other crops suitable for mountain planting, can be planted on a large scale locally. Relevant personnel have even begun to plant crops in the mountain forests near Black Earth Port.

Plan the planting area, and just wait for the agricultural supplies from the base operation to start working hard.

The Executive Committee is very happy to see this proposal of the Black Earth Port Management Committee come to fruition. The single industry in overseas expansion points is not a situation that the Executive Committee wants to see. If Black Earth Port can develop a variety of industries in parallel,

situation, then the own hematopoietic function will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened, and the time for the Executive Committee to recoup its initial investment will also be shortened a lot.

In addition to a large number of seeds, thousands of hoes, shovels, axes, saws, chisels, hammers and other tools are also part of the agricultural supplies. Since there is no local iron ore output in Black Earth Port, all iron products must be imported from the base camp.

This will be a situation that cannot be changed for a long time to come. Of course, for the Executive Committee, the existence of this little trouble is not a bad thing. If the overseas colonization points are completely independent of the base camp in terms of material supply,

That would make the base camp feel uneasy.

In terms of building materials, the materials required by Black Tu Port are mainly cement. The local area is similar to Sanya. There are very rich forest resources and there is no shortage of wood. However, the management committee still hopes to build some cement buildings locally - such as crossing

They are located in local residences, warehouses where important materials are stored, fortifications near the port, etc. However, a limestone mine has been discovered locally, and plans are currently underway to build a lime kiln. The next step is to start a cement kiln directly. Since the local

With abundant fuel, it is much easier to build brick kilns, lime kilns, and cement kilns than here at the base camp. After a period of time, the local cement production may exceed the base camp, and reverse transportation may also be carried out by then.

In terms of food, since the local population has skyrocketed far faster than expected, although the first batch of food shipped can still supply consumption for a few months, there is no local food output at all, so we must start preparing for a rainy day now.

.The returning cargo ship will deliver 30 tons of newly harvested rice to Black Earth Port, which can slightly relieve the local food pressure.

However, it is unscientific for the base camp to deliver food for a long time if it is close to the grain production area. According to the original plan, the food problem of Black Tu Port still needs to be solved in Vietnam. Trading with the Vietnamese and purchasing food is the next step for Black Tu Port.

For projects that must be carried out, in addition to subsidizing a certain amount of cash, the Executive Committee also prepared a kind of trade materials, intending to use barter to exchange for food from Vietnam.

This kind of trade material is the ever-unfavorable salt. The production cost of Chuan Chuan Group in the salt industry is enough to defeat all competitors of the same era. It can quickly occupy the market by dumping at low prices wherever it goes. Naturally, it is difficult for a small country like Vietnam to do so.

Resist the invincible price offensive. Moreover, due to the deterioration of the domestic situation in Vietnam, the military confrontation between the North and the South has caused a large number of coastal residents to flee. The coastal salt fields in Hue, Quang Tri, Nam Quang Binh, Ha Tinh and other places have all been paralyzed.

The price of salt in Vietnam will definitely show an upward trend in the near future. At this juncture, trafficking salt to Vietnam is definitely a good and timely business.

In the main grain-producing areas east and south of Hanoi, most of the land belongs to big landowners such as royal families and nobles. The grain grown on these lands cannot be eaten by the nobles, but it will never be given to the poor.

The large amount of food hoarded by the common people has caused the domestic food price to be at a very low level all year round, only about one-third to one-quarter of the price of food in the Ming Dynasty. It is not special for the crossing group to exchange the salt that the Vietnamese people desperately need for them.

Care about food, a win-win result is acceptable to both parties.

Of course, the Executive Committee will not forget to take this opportunity to promote its own industrial products, glass products, soaps, matches, etc. Since the rich people in Ming Dynasty will buy them, then the same market will definitely exist in Vietnam. Prepare some samples.

It is necessary to explore the market trend.

As for promoting military products overseas, the Executive Committee is really powerless. It will still take some time to complete the order for "Furuifeng". Even the muskets originally intended to be distributed to militiamen were collected and sold to Li Nai.

For a while, there was no goods to sell elsewhere, so we had to give up temporarily. However, another batch of gunpowder had to be sent to Black Earth Port, because most of the gunpowder shipped in the first batch had been used in track construction.

During the project, the current gunpowder reserves in Black Earth Port have even fallen below the safety line - even the gunpowder packets issued to the two cannons have been dismantled and used.

In addition, consumable supplies such as medicines also need to be replenished regularly. Of course, the medicines brought by the Time Travel Group from later generations will definitely not be used by ordinary people. However, out of humanitarian considerations, the Executive Committee still allowed Zhu Ya to

The office purchased a batch of traditional Chinese medicine that can clear away heat, remove dampness, and treat some common diseases from a drug store in Yazhou, and prepared to send it to Heitu Port along with the cargo ship this time.

In terms of staffing, the internal integration speed of the Black Earth Port Management Committee is obviously faster than the executive committee expected. This is probably because the disaster response work some time ago has played a certain role in promoting it. Judging from the current situation, the local civil affairs,

The three main departments of production and military and police cooperated fairly well, especially Qian Tiandun, the military chief who caused a lot of controversy before departure. He almost relied on dozens of militiamen who had undergone two months of short training to maintain local security.

Order. Fortunately, although the influx of immigrants was quite fast, only one robbery and murder case occurred in the Black Earth Port in the early stages of construction. It was quickly handled by the military and police departments, and several criminals were hanged in public.

After that, no other vicious incidents occurred, which effectively ensured the smooth progress of production and construction tasks. As the military chief, Qian Tiandun was indispensable.

According to Qian Tiandun's report, the local area has begun to select personnel and establish a local militia organization. Since the local population has stabilized at more than 2,000, Qian Tiandun's report set the militia establishment to a company.

——This of course does not include the militiamen sent by the base camp in advance. However, due to the lack of local supplies, the militiamen's clothing, training equipment and weapons and equipment could not be provided by themselves, so Qian Tiandun also submitted an application for relevant supplies.

On Qian Tiandun's material application list, the first thing to be crossed out was firearms and artillery. The executive committee believed that the local militia had just begun to select and there was no need to rush to arm them in one step. Having said that, there was indeed no excess weapon in the base camp's arsenal.

equipment can be sent to Black Earth Port.

Secondly, the clothing I applied for was also crossed out. Although there are still some camouflage training uniforms that I brought with me, the base camp also needs to expand the army. These equipment must be reserved for the "Central Army" to use first. Since Victory Port

There is no local textile production area. All fabrics and dyes can only be imported at present. Even some ready-made clothes need to be ordered from Yazhou. There is still not enough supply for the immigrants who are coming in, let alone for overseas garrisons.

Uniform clothing. Therefore, the Executive Committee could only reluctantly refuse this request, and asked the local military and police departments to overcome difficulties and adapt to local conditions as much as possible to see if there is a way to order some cloth clothing from Vietnam. The Executive Committee can

Appropriately subsidize procurement costs with supplies - anyway, you can get as much salt as you need.

Of course, the Executive Committee is not completely unkind. Considering the actual law enforcement needs of the Military and Police Department, it has prepared a batch of iron weapons, such as waist knives, spear points, etc. As for batons, shields and other equipment, they can be used in

The problem was solved locally.

Because Chuanchuan Group has begun to implement an internal settlement system, most of these materials are not provided to Heitu Port completely free of charge, but as a form of investment from the central government to local governments, part of which exists in the form of long-term interest-free loans.

, Black Tu Port will gradually repay the output. After this part of the funds is repaid, the local financial revenue of Black Tu Port will be distributed according to a certain proportion - most of it will be handed over to the base camp, and a small part will be retained for local infrastructure construction and

Management organization operates.

The preparation of these materials may not be extensive, but there are indeed many departments involved, so all the executive committee members will be notified to attend the meeting. Each department, especially the production unit, has received its own material preparation tasks, and the executive committee members have

The job is to supervise the smooth progress of these preparations and complete the basic preparations before the cargo ship returns to Victory Port.

Among them, the department under greatest pressure is not the metallurgical workshop with the heaviest production tasks, but the Saltworks Commune, which is still in the state of post-disaster reconstruction. The tropical storm a few days ago destroyed a large number of houses in the Saltworks Commune and caused the loss of several tons of salt inventory.

Due to the losses, the current production of the salt field has not returned to normal levels. A large number of working people are still undergoing housing reconstruction work, and the current daily salt production is only one-tenth of the pre-disaster level.

In order to help the Salt Farm Commune overcome this difficulty, the Executive Committee had to suspend the construction of factories in the inland industrial zone and send limited construction workers to the Salt Farm Commune to help the members build houses. In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again in the future, this

The Ministry of Construction immediately took action and shipped all the recently produced bricks and tiles to the Saltworks Commune.
