Chapter 29 Labor Export

The sky was getting brighter, the chirping of birds could be heard in the forest, and the aroma of rice wine and barbecue seemed to be lingering in the air. The bearded Johnson, who was in charge of the all-night shift, stood up from the fire with lingering embers and stretched.

Then he looked at Morgan next to him who had also not slept all night and smiled bitterly.

Among the special working groups that came to Fushandong this time, they were the only two medical workers, and they maintained very good professional habits - not drinking. As doctors who are on the operating table at any time, alcohol will greatly affect their health.

Their nervous reaction, so they will actively keep a distance from alcohol under any circumstances. Even when Master Fudong invited him for a drink yesterday, Zhou Hengxing explained the situation and asked others to drink on his behalf. However, Master Futong was not affected by this.

Angry, because these two blond Yi people are actually doctors that can only be found in "big places" like Yacheng. They are definitely distinguished guests for Lidong, which lacks medical treatment and medicine. But it is precisely because of the two

Doctors do not drink alcohol, and they are also members of the military and police departments, so the duty work after the night banquet can only be left to them.

Seeing that it was already five o'clock in the morning, the two went to the tent to wake up the shift members. They had to seize this precious time to sleep for a while. Although the night watch was very hard, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much rest time for them today.

According to the working group's plan, administering medicine at the Li Dong Free Clinic is also an important step in bringing closer the relationship between Li people, and the two foreign doctors must play the leading roles.

With the transactions and banquets on the first day as preparation, the inspection work that started the next morning went much more smoothly. Lord Fu Dong agreed to Zhou Hengxing's request and specially arranged a few guides to accompany these curious foreigners around the area.

Of course, he didn't understand that what these people meant by "turning around" was not to tour the mountains and rivers, but to investigate the development status of agriculture, forestry, minerals and other resources here.

Two foreign doctors set up a position in the village to provide free medical treatment to local sick and injured residents. There was just one problem. Zhou Hengxing, who knew Li, was not very fluent in English, while the Chinese of these two Americans was still stuck at "

In the initial stage of "Hello", "Thank you" and "Goodbye", it was impossible to communicate at all. As a last resort, we had to provide an English-speaking translator, so the communication between the doctor and the patient had to go through at least two translators.

Moreover, only one doctor's words could be translated at a time, so the efficiency of medical treatment was reduced to an astonishing level. According to Morgan's chat afterwards, when he was performing humanitarian relief missions in Liberia, West Africa, he had conversations with black people who did not understand the language.

Communication has never been so troublesome.

Ning Qi took the time to find Fu Nuo and planned to discuss labor export. Fu Nuo was obviously drunk. When Ning Qi found his home under the guidance of the villagers, the old man was sitting motionless on the bamboo bed.

He was in a daze. But when he looked up and saw Ning Qi standing at the door, a smile appeared on his face: "Please come in, my guest."

Ning Qi is not proficient in speaking Cantonese with a Hainanese accent. Last night, he asked Zhou Hengxing to practice temporarily. Although the effect was not obvious, he could barely communicate with Fu Nuo: "Master Fu Dong, thank you and the villagers.

Thank you for your warm hospitality last night. In addition to salt and ironware, we actually have other transactions we want to discuss with you this time."

"What do you want?" Fu Nuo obviously hadn't reached the stage where his eyes were dim yet, so he immediately pointed out the core issue.

"People. We need the help of the Li people." Ning Qi didn't intend to hide anything, and said it bluntly: "Your villagers will work for us, and they will get corresponding rewards from us later."

The smile on Fu Nuo's face disappeared: "You want my villagers to go to your place to perform labor and military service? That won't work. We have to serve the Ming people every year, and we can no longer serve you."

"Our approach is different from Akito. First of all, we will not force you to do anything. This is not military service. This is us paying you to do things. Secondly, we will not conscript your young people to serve in the military. Even if we do it in the future

If we want to recruit soldiers, we will only accept people who voluntarily serve as soldiers, instead of forcing you to send out how many young men per village." Ning Qi patiently explained to Fu Nuo: "This is a deal, we use money and food to use you.

Whatever is needed in exchange, you just need to work."

"Even a large amount of iron can be used?" Fu Nuo asked with some disbelief. Since the Li people's uprising in the Yuan Dynasty, the government has been extremely strict on the control of iron tools in the Li people's area, lest they get pig iron and use it.

Forging weapons. In a place like Fushandong, there are more than 300 households in the whole cave with a thousand people, and there are not even a few iron pots. The little pig iron is almost used to make hook knives on the men's waists.

If the situation had not been like this, Li Dong’s farming level would not have remained mostly in the Stone Age.

Ning Qi nodded seriously: "Yes. And we will also teach you how to grow crops and how to get better harvests on the land, so that you no longer have to worry about food, so that young people can dress beautifully.

, so that children can read and be literate!”

"How is this possible!" Fu Nuo woke up from his drunkenness. These are the dreams of Li people for generations. However, countless years have passed and no one has been able to come up with a way to change the current situation. He struggled to get up and seize the opportunity.

Ning Qi's shoulder: "Why are you helping us like this? Why?"

"We are the saviors, and we are here to save the hard-working people like you who are in dire straits!" Ning Qi shamelessly said the lines that had flashed through his mind countless times, and at the same time, a strange sense of satisfaction came to his heart - Come on

Isn't one of the purposes of coming to this world one day to be worshiped as a savior? Ning Qi looked at the excited Fu Nuo with a smile, waiting for him to continue asking questions to him.

"Then every household in the cave will be able to use an iron pot?" Fu Nuo's lips trembled for a long time before he finally asked.

"It's necessary!" Ning Qi immediately answered him in a positive tone, and made a scissor hand gesture: "Two from each family, one cooks and one cooks!"

Fu Nuo swayed, and Ning Qi quickly supported him, fearing that he would faint, but after the old man stood firm, he asked again: "Can our children in the cave go to a Han place to study and learn literacy in the future?"

"Not only is it possible, but it's free and free!" Ning Qi continued to offer temptations without hesitation: "The literacy class we run is just downstream of the river. You can ask the villagers to take a look first, and then decide whether to let your children

Come and study.”

Fu Nuo sat back on the bamboo bed tremblingly, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face: "I never thought that before I die, I still hope to see Li Ren come out..."

Ning Qi smiled slightly, secretly thinking that something big had happened.

At the same time, several agricultural, forestry and mining inspection groups also achieved different results. The agricultural group discovered a large number of native rice seeds in the fields cultivated by the Li people, and the basis for high-yielding hybrid rice is a rich gene pool. According to Gao

Huan said that the diversity of rice seeds here was enough to make his wife, who specializes in food crops, wake up from her sleep with a smile. There are also many poultry and livestock on the hillside, but this is not Gao Huan's specialty, so he can only

I took some hasty photos with my camera first, and then showed them to my senior brother Yuan Qiuye for identification when I got back.

Of course Gao Huan also found his target - a large amount of wild ramie. The stem fiber of ramie is an important weaving material. This fiber has high strength but small elongation. In modern industry, it is used in aircraft wing cloth, rubber lining cloth, etc.

Wire coverings, fishing nets, rayon cotton, etc. are all made of ramie. Ramie leaves are rich in crude protein and vitamins. After drying, they can be used as livestock feed. The entire above-ground part of ramie can be used to extract ethanol.

Ramie bones can be used to make paper, and ramie shells can be used to extract furfural, an extremely important refining solution in the chemical industry. Even ramie roots have medicinal values ​​such as hemostasis, dissipation of blood stasis, detoxification, and abortion. It can be said that ramie is a treasure all over the body.

, is an economic crop with great development value.

It's just that the Li people obviously don't realize the economic value of this thing. Of course, it's most likely because they don't know how to use this humble plant. However, this ignorant situation will not last long, because with Ningqi

The leading saviors have already arrived here. The Li people will soon learn some basic agricultural knowledge from the people here, enough to allow them to step from the slash-and-burn era to the level of productivity that will be at least two to three hundred years later.

In terms of forest resources, what surprised the working group the most was the fruit resources here. Although they were all wild, the bananas, lychees, longans, betel nut, jackfruit, etc. that were discovered one after another still dazzled everyone.

The fruit resources are so rich that they can be used as food supplements for the local Li people. At that moment, some people started to communicate with the guides who were traveling with them, trying to persuade them to regularly transport these fruits to the No. 2 Base for trade. But agriculture

The people at the Ministry were obviously much more practical. They directly picked some fruits and prepared to take the seeds back to the base for cultivation.

The main work carried out in mining exploration is to conduct an on-site inspection of the location of the Damao phosphate manganese mine that will be developed in the long-term plan according to the information prepared by the Ministry of Information Industry, and to evaluate the difficulty of development, and then make corresponding plans.

The report is submitted to the Executive Committee for reference.

After several hours of negotiations that day, Ning Qi and Fu Nuo, the leader of Fushan Cave, finally reached an agreement that he called the "Savior No. 1 Plan" in his later report. Although the name was criticized by most

Despite the ruthless ridicule of the crowd, Ning Qi was not able to stop himself from being complacent about this. At least judging from the results, he had indeed successfully and exceeded the scheduled tasks assigned by the executive committee. And the plan he formulated included

Cooperation agreements in agriculture, economy, military, mining, human resources, culture and education, etc. were later used as a model for the Executive Committee’s mass work in ethnic minority areas. Even a few years later, the expedition fleet arrived in America and

The first cooperation agreement reached by the Indian natives still mostly relied on Ningqi's samples.
