Chapter 204 Yu Dashan’s selfishness

Regarding the issue of transportation capacity, Anxi has also considered it in detail and replied calmly: "We can look at the transportation capacity required for these two candidate locations separately. Let's talk about Tieliang Port first."

"Tieliang Port is very close to us, so close that we can even send a ship there every day to transport back the previous day's output. The carrying capacity is not large, and the two existing sea training ships of the Ministry of Shipping can complete the task. We also have

We can build a local warehouse to store some salt, and in the future, salt exports to the mainland will be traded directly at Tieliang Port, and ships coming from the mainland can also save half a day's journey."

After hearing this, Tao Donglai continued to ask noncommittally: "What if you choose Yinggehai Salt Field?"

"If it is the Yinggehai Saltworks, it will be a little more troublesome. After all, the voyage is three times farther than Tieliang Port. My solution is to further increase the number of cargo ships running in the Annan direction. When passing Yinggehai back and forth,

They all ship locally produced salt and send it to Annan and the local area respectively. Of course, there is no need to rush to increase transportation capacity, because even if we want to develop Yinggehai, it will take at least several months to form large-scale production.

The limited output in the first few months can be completely solved with the existing transport capacity on the Annan route." Anxi replied confidently.

"What does the Ministry of Shipping think?" Tao Donglai looked at Yue Zhiyun and asked.

Yue Zhiyun responded: "We can currently arrange a total of eight 400-ton sea-going ships to run the Annan route. When departing from Victory Port, the cargo hold will be relatively empty. There will definitely be no problem in loading salt in Yinggehai. But on the return trip

We need to load coal, coke and some immigrants, and we need to load salt on the ship, so the carrying capacity may be limited..."

"The immigrants transported back from Annan can be resettled in the nearby Yinggehai salt field. On the one hand, they can expand the scale of production as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they can free up the cabins to transport a few more tons of salt back to Victory Port." Anxi added.

This is really a very good solution. If the Yinggehai salt field is to be built, it may take several years to invest manpower in that area to meet the expanding production scale, and recruiting immigrants from Annan, which is in a state of war, is obviously more expensive than

The Ming Dynasty was much easier. Even in terms of distance, Yinggehai is only 130 to 40 nautical miles from the east coast of Annan, which is much closer than Qiongzhou City in the north, and it is also more cost-effective in terms of time efficiency.

As for nationality and ethnicity, these issues are no longer a big issue in the eyes of today's Executive Committee. First of all, the language, clothing, and living habits of the vast majority of Annan immigrants are similar or even the same as those in Guangdong and Guangxi.

The gap in cultural tradition is not big, and it will be easier to assimilate and transform them. Secondly, after several internal disputes between Chinese and foreigners, the executive committee has basically unified its understanding. For people who are willing to be included under the rule, there is no need to

Regardless of their own nationality and ethnicity, as long as they are willing to abide by the cultural traditions and living habits of Haihan, abide by the laws and regulations formulated by the Executive Committee, and support and be loyal to the Executive Committee, they will be regarded as naturalized citizens and no special procedures will be required.

Treat them differently.

When transportation capacity and labor no longer become problems, there seems to be only one problem left to be solved.

When Yan Chujie saw Tao Donglai looking towards him, he took the initiative and said: "From the perspective of military defense, both places have advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about Tieliang Port first. The channel entering the harbor here is long and winding.

, and the south side of the waterway is all mountainous, which is very convenient for high-level defense. As long as a small number of defenses are built, it can be said that it is difficult for foreign fleets to attack Tieliang Port from the sea. However, the tidal flat areas suitable for salt field development are all in the north of the harbor.

The terrain is flat and difficult to defend. If an enemy lands directly from the beach, it will be difficult to organize an effective defense. In addition, Tieliang Port is very close to Lingshui where the Ming army is stationed, only more than ten nautical miles. If something happens, we will not even have time to dispatch maritime forces.

Provide support."

"Let's talk about Yinggehai. The harbor here is also hidden behind a narrow channel and has good concealment. But the area near the sea here is all flat and flat. It is impossible to establish an effective defense system with our current conditions.

.There is a voyage of fifty or sixty nautical miles from Yinggehai to Victory Port, and there is Yazhou in the middle. From a military point of view, there is considerable danger in developing Yinggehai."

Anxi became a little anxious after hearing what Yan Chujie said, and quickly retorted: "I don't think Yazhou can still pose much of a military threat to us now. Now that Luo Shengdong has money, he has managed the water village very well.

, I asked him specifically when I came to the commune to transport salt last time, and he said that the ships that can go to sea in Shuizhai are basically under his control now. Unless Luo Shengdong wants to cut off his own money, Yazhou

There is no way it can threaten our route."

Yan Chujie shook his head and said: "Even if Luo Shengdong does not pose a threat to us, it does not mean that it is safe. The necessary military defense measures must not be relaxed at all. Think about it, if Yinggehai produces 10,000 kilograms of refined salt per day in the future

Now that the news has spread, will anyone want to take advantage of that place?"

"This..." An Xi was speechless for a moment. Yan Chujie's words were not unreasonable. The market value of ten thousand kilograms of refined salt was several thousand taels of silver. There was no guarantee that pirates or other armed forces would not take risks after hearing the news. There was no risk.

Once the Yinggehai area being defended is attacked, I am afraid that the only thing that can be done is to defend the stronghold to protect itself. And if the development of Yinggehai requires the establishment of a base-style fortress in the local area, it will consume too much manpower and material resources. There is no doubt that

It will greatly increase the difficulty and time of the development and construction phase.

No matter how perfect Anxi's plan is, military defense loopholes are unavoidable, and this is not a link that the Executive Committee can ignore through some attractive data. According to the Executive Committee's prudent and prudent working style, any establishment of

The difficulty of military defense is first considered for a stronghold. Whether it is the base camp or the black soil port, the location is based on this basic principle. No matter where the new salt farm is located, there will definitely be more than a thousand residents in the future.

For the establishment of such a new settlement outside Victory Port, the Executive Committee will still adhere to the principle of safety first.

Although Anxi was full of hope and fully prepared for this, in the next voting session, the executive committee did not pass a resolution to immediately start preparations for a new salt farm. However, Anxi did not feel depressed because of this, because the executive committee

At the same time, they all recognized the need to build a new salt field. However, from a security perspective, further discussion and research on the development plan of the candidate site must be carried out - at least a defense plan approved by the military must be produced.

Anxi plans to talk to his good friend Ren Liang next. Although Ren Liang's major is police management rather than military, he works in the Military and Police Department and has many military friends. Maybe he can help with the new salt field.

Provides some opinions and suggestions on defense means in construction plans.

The next topic of the meeting had nothing to do with the salt field. Anxi had no interest in continuing to listen, so he stood up and left. As soon as he left the door, a naturalized citizen bowed to him respectfully and said: "Coach An!"

An Xi took a look and found out that this man was Yu Dashan, the highest-ranking naturalized citizen at present. When the salt field first started to be developed, Yu Dashan was already working as a foreman and took a group of workers to the salt field commune to build houses. The two of them also

Even after a few days of dealing with each other at work, the title "Coach An" was originally learned by Yu Dashan from other time travellers. Anxi didn't bother to correct it, so he kept calling him "Coach An".

Anxi nodded and said, "Come to the executive committee to report on your work?"

Yu Dashan responded: "The construction period of the freight terminal is tight. The adults from the Ministry of Construction want to add a group of laborers, so I asked the villain to take the documents and come to Mr. Ning to sign."

Anxi said: "Then you wait here first. There is still a meeting inside, and it probably won't be finished for a while. Also, don't call yourself a 'villain' in the future, just say 'I', do you understand?"

"I understand...Oh, I, I understand! I understand!" Yu Dashan responded hurriedly. His habit has been corrected many times by the time traveling crowd, but he still has not been able to change it.

After Yu Dashan sent An Xi off respectfully, he stood outside the door and waited for the meeting to end. Even a "veteran" naturalized citizen like Yu Dashan was not qualified to attend a meeting of this level.

But no one would care about him outside the conference room.

Yu Dashan himself is very excited. Although he has now become a senior foreman and has to direct hundreds of people under him to work on the construction site every day, when Haihan officers discuss things, they mostly hold meetings behind closed doors.

There is a time when you can directly hear the content of the meeting.

Then I heard a voice in the conference room say: "... Let's discuss the selection of candidates for the Guangdong Office. Now Schneider and He Xi have come up with a detailed staffing plan and are waiting for us to send people to Guangzhou. I'll start with

Tell me about their plan..."

As soon as Yu Dashan heard this voice, he knew that it was Master Tao Donglai who was talking. He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully. It was not that he wanted to inquire about any secrets, but just out of curiosity, he wanted to know the secrets of these Haihans.

How do superiors decide matters and distribute work during meetings?

Regarding the selection of candidates for the General Office of the People's Republic of China, the relevant departments have actually made preparations and have already done the staff selection work. The staffing plan given by the General Office of the People's Republic of China is not significantly different from the previous estimates of each department.

The Ministry of Information Industry has one person responsible for information collection and liaison between the two places, the Ministry of Shipping has one person responsible for arranging freight matters in Guangzhou, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has one person responsible for immigration matters, the Medical Department has one person responsible for health and epidemic prevention, and the Military and Police Department has two people responsible for security.

Security work. In addition, they are loyal and reliable naturalized citizens who go to the Guangdong Office to do errands and other chores.

After the plan came out, the relevant departments quickly came up with a list of candidates, and then quickly determined several time-travel members who would be stationed in Guangzhou. Yu Dashan, an observer, could also be regarded as the first group of people to learn the news.

, but his attention was not focused on the few Haihan chiefs who were about to be sent to Guangzhou - several naturalized citizens would be selected to go to Guangzhou together this time, and this was the focus of his concern.

Before the Time Travel Group landed in Victory Port, Yu Dashan was just an ordinary fisherman with no education and no experience of the world. However, the arrival of the Time Travel Group opened up a whole new world in front of him. For the first time, he knew the original

Iron ships without masts and sails can also travel on the water, it is so easy to build forts and strongholds, and the young people of the Li and Miao ethnic groups who had been fighting fiercely in the past are actually able to serve the Haihan people together... There are so many incredible things happening in the world.

In the past few months, he also saw hope of changing the future for himself and his family.

Because he was the earliest to "conglong", Yu Dashan was highly valued by the Haihan people from the beginning, and has been set up as an example of outstanding naturalized citizens for a long time. Yu Dashan is very satisfied with what he has been able to achieve now, but he

He doesn't have any wishful thinking about becoming a master, but he does have higher expectations for his son Yu Xiaobao's future future.

From Yu Dashan's point of view, the Haihan chiefs admitted Yu Xiaobao to the school to study and read without taking any money. This was definitely a kind gift, and he could also see that his son was very popular among the Haihan chiefs.

Chong, not only can often eat and live with the officers in the No. 1 Base, but can even ride on the officers' special carriages. This kind of treatment is also rare among the naturalized citizens of the entire Victory Port. It is said that only Yu

Only Xiaobao and the son of the Li clan elder can enjoy it.

Yu Dashan didn't quite understand what the Haihan chiefs wanted to do, but the steady flow of immigrants, more and more production, and various other signs made him realize that the Haihan chiefs were definitely not willing to hold on.

The small merchants in this area, and even the naval commanders of Yazhou now come to Victory Port from time to time to pay tribute - Yu Dashan has seen many times, the Luo Commander who was sent back by the Haihan officers.

I always have that groveling look on Chief Haihan's face when I return to Victory Port.

There was also Inspector Wei who was imprisoned as soon as he arrived at Victory Port. Although the other party probably couldn't remember him as a commoner, Yu Dashan remembered that he was searched by the other party on his way back from Yazhou two years ago.

He got two taels of silver from selling seafood. That experience made him so angry that he became seriously ill after he came back and almost lost his life. But after arriving at Victory Port, this guy couldn't be arrogant at all. He could only stay in the designated area every day.

Yu Dashan was very relieved to see such handling measures. Yu Dashan could even predict that it wouldn't be long before the expression on Inspector Wei's face would gradually become the same as Mr. Luo Bang's.

The arrival of Annan immigrants made Yu Dashan realize that the original stronghold established by Haihan officials in Annan Kingdom had been successful. The visit of Guangzhou merchants' fleet to Victory Port symbolized that the local area had established close ties with Guangzhou, which is said to be the southern part of China.

The largest cities have established connections. Yu Dashan doesn't know and can't imagine how many unexpected things the Haihan chiefs can do, but there is one thing that Yu Dashan is sure of - relying on the Ming government, he can

You can only be a poor fisherman in this life, and it is very likely that your children and grandchildren will continue to be fishermen. But if you rely on Chief Haihan to get ahead, you can look forward to the opportunity to honor your ancestors.

The Haihan chiefs always talk about "culture" and "knowledge", and all of them are well-educated and sensible. Even Mr. Fan, the chef in charge of the cooking team, can open his mouth and read out a few lines of Tang poetry. This kind of culture

The atmosphere made the illiterate Yu Dashan yearn for and admire him very much. He also knew that he would not be able to learn much when he was older, but if his son could be trained and cared for by his superiors, he would definitely become the same person as them in the future.

Master. And Yu Xiaobao has turned sixteen this year. If he wants to be famous under the superiors in the future, he must do something!

Working for the Haihan officials, the best way to make a living locally is for Yu Dashan to become a senior foreman. But if he can go to Guangzhou, there seems to be a different way out - Mr. Shi is a master of making money, legend has it.

Being able to turn stone into gold and sell local products to other countries is mostly due to Mr. Shi's ability. If Yu Xiaobao can be allowed to work with Mr. Shi, even if he doesn't learn much skills, it will be a good thing to go to Guangzhou to see things.

.If Yu Xiaobao can learn one or two points of Mr. Shi's skills, then there is hope for Guang Da Da in the future.

Yu Dashan was so busy thinking about his own things that he didn't even notice when the meeting ended. It wasn't until Ning Qi came out of the conference room that he suddenly woke up, remembered the purpose of coming here, and hurriedly greeted him.

Said: "Mr. Ning, there is a document here that needs to be signed."

Ning Qi took it and looked at it, then took out a pen and signed his name. When he was about to leave, he heard Yu Dashan whisper: "Mr. Ning, I have a few words to say."

Ning Qi frowned and said, "Why can't you get over this problem?"

"It's not a villain, it's me, it's me!" Yu Dashan quickly corrected himself, secretly complaining that he was useless.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do. Is it Xiaobao's business?" Ning Qi asked casually.

"Mr. Ning is really good at predicting things!" Yu Dashan quickly flattered him with the limited vocabulary in his mind. This idiom was told to him by Yu Xiaobao a few days ago, so he learned it and put it into practice.

"Little man... When I was waiting for Mr. Ning outside, I overheard that the Executive Committee was preparing to select naturalized people to go to Guangzhou..." Yu Dashan stared at Ning Qi longingly and said: "I... I want to represent my family.

Xiaobao, tell me your name!"

Ning Qi frowned and said, "Going to Guangzhou? Then Xiaobao won't read this book?"

"Isn't Mr. Shi in Guangzhou? If Xiaobao can follow Mr. Shi, he can also learn a lot." Yu Dashan has already figured out the joints. In his opinion, all the leaders of Haihan are full of knowledge.

Even if you can't study with Mr. Ning, you shouldn't be much different if you study with Mr. Shi.

Seeing the hesitation on Ning Qi's face, Yu Dashan added: "Xiaobao has always been obedient, and Mr. Ning also knows that. It is only appropriate to go to Guangzhou to do some errands for the leaders."

In the near future, I plan to make a small adjustment in the writing rhythm, changing from two chapters a day to one, but the word count will not be less than 5K. I would like to apologize to readers who are used to reading two chapters a day!
Chapter completed!
