Section 60: Mobilizing the Masses (3)
Xi Yaya was confident: "The handling of the government is handled by us." You don't have to worry. In fact, he already had a plan in his heart - we and the ancients will play tricks, and we will not have the upper hand by scheming, but only by force.
The people of Yancun looked at each other, as if they didn't believe it. However, these short-haired masters in front of him are not good men and women, and Bairentan defeated hundreds of villagers, so maybe they can really win it. Xi Yaya was not in a hurry to prove anything, but only asked: "If we take the salt class back, can everyone's hearts be united?" When the time comes, the two old boys of the Gou family will definitely not be reconciled, and they will come to the door to make trouble-"
"That's a bird." Tan Chengqing shook his shoulders and said with great certainty, "His little person, which of the young people in the village can also deal with him and the two!" ”
Tan Guihuang sighed: "It's just that there are no knives and guns, and our village has suffered enough for this." With both hands clenched into empty fists, there was not even a family to get angry. ”
"Weapons, we have." Xi Yaya said.
"Then we can work together," Tan Chengqing gushed out a wave of enthusiasm from his heart, "Damn, people have to die anyway, it's too fucking shitty to live like this." The hero can't stand the anger of the turtle, and he has to have a knife and gun," he bit the root of his teeth, "and I can help him a few times." ”
"Good!" Xi Yaya said excitedly, "The problem now is to let the villagers have enough to eat, and the second is to save the village chief first, and then we will talk about other things." ”
"Yes!" Several people said excitedly together, "People must be able to do anything." ”
"How many people are there in the village now?" Xi Yaya asked Tan Guihuang, "How many young and strong women and children are there?" ”
"There are probably more than 400 people, mainly women, children, old and young, and most of the young and strong people are hiding outside to reclaim the wasteland, and there are more than 200 in total."
Not counting the young and strong outside, the village alone has to supply more than 400 people, and according to the low standard of half a catty of rice per person per day, the daily food consumption is 250 catties, which is not a small number for the traverser who has already consumed more than half of the grain. In addition, we have to rescue all the people who were arrested in the salt farm, it seems that Gou Da is a big family that must be beaten!
"If the young men go back to the village," Xi asked Tan Guihuang, "how much salt can be produced every day?" ”
The father and son counted opposite each other: "I can produce more than 2,000 catties a day." Recently, the weather has been good, and it is a good day to dry salt. ”
Xi Yaya thinks that this is equivalent to one ton a day, which is a lot for manual labor, but for the chemical department, one ton of salt is not enough to reduce the raw material consumption of a chemical plant for a day, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement in salt production methods. But that's a later story, for now it's just a matter of treating salt as a commodity, and exchanging it back for grain and cloth as soon as possible.
Lingao itself cannot afford to consume so much edible salt, in fact, most of Hainan's salt is exported to the mainland. Gotta find a market for this salt. Xiao Zishan has not come back from Guangzhou after he went to Guangzhou, and even if he quickly informed him that there was a large amount of salt available for sale, it would be difficult to quench his thirst from far away. He thought for a moment, then asked:
"It turns out that the merchants who came to your village to collect salt, are they still here?"
"How dare you come!" Tan Guihuang said, "Since Gou Dahu colluded with gangsters, robbed a salt ship in Leizhou, and killed all the merchant ship owners, no one dares to come to us to buy salt." ”
"Do you know each other? Ask them to collect salt, and we can give protection by force. Xi Yaya swore and looked at them with puzzled eyes, "Why, we have such a big iron ship, and we are afraid of a few little pirates?" ”
Tan Guihuang nodded, as if he was ruthless: "Success!" In the past, I received these salt merchants, and I am familiar with their names, and there is a Fu Lao named Liu Gang in Leizhou, who is a small businessman, although he also buys and sells salt, but it is often mixed with smuggling. He might have been bolder. I'm going to Haikang! (Note: Leizhou has two counties: Haikang and Xu Wen)
"Let's go with me, you're older," Tan Chengqing saw that his father was going to go far away, and hurriedly stopped him.
"Going to Haikang is just a sea crossing, and you have to keep people in the village."
"We'll send a boat to take you across the sea tomorrow." Although Xi Yaya knew that this was a bit of a stir - from crossing the sea to the Leizhou Peninsula, even the wooden boat rowing prize would not take half a day. But this is the time to show the strength of the traverser.
"Chengqing," Xi Yaya said to Tan Chengqing, "I'm sorry for you to go tomorrow and call back all the young men who fled outside, and let's set up a group!" ”
"Formation?"
"Yes, his Gou family can have a family and a village, a huge salt village, he can't do it without his own arms, even if the Gou family doesn't come, the pirates must be on guard. Tomorrow we'll be handing over weapons from Bairentan. ”
"Done! I'll do it tomorrow. Tan Chengqing became excited.
"Okay, now I've got to talk about saving people." Xi Yaya said, "People, it is not difficult to save them. However, once you are rescued, you will tear your face with the Gou family, do you have the determination to do it to the end? He deliberately said, "If you don't have this determination, then you can use soft skills, you can first gather 200 salt leads, and then go to ransom people." "He's also a radical general.
The father and son looked at each other for a moment and said in unison, "! In the past, if we gave up an inch, he would enter a foot, and if we didn't take him down, sooner or later this salt farm and salt village would have to become the Gou family! ”
"Okay, then we'll arrange for the rescue. Tomorrow, you can bring me some people who are familiar with the situation of the Gou family. ”
"Good! Let's go back and talk to the villagers and make arrangements together. ”
These people disappeared into the night outside, and the atmosphere in the tent was much more lively. Everyone is happy that this situation has opened up today.
Xi Yaya discussed some more things with everyone, and decided to send a batch of grain from Bairen City tomorrow to bring relief, and weapons were also brought together - these things would not be needed by the traversers anyway.
The next morning, the village was alive and well, and the team continued to build their camp while looking out over the beach, where people were already working. Compared to the scene of yesterday, they have a lot of confidence. Many people, who were originally skeptical and even ridiculed about their propaganda work yesterday, are now convinced by Xi Asia's "old-fashioned policy."
The sun shines on the churning waters, reflecting dappled and shimmering light. It was no surprise that this new day marked the beginning of a new era for the inhabitants of the saltworks.
Outside the remnants of the temple were curious children—unlike skeptical adults, the short-haired sugarballs that brought sweet and sour tastes were like another shijie to them. They watched intently as these people worked with strange tools, and these people's things looked so elaborate and luxurious—even a candy ball was wrapped in colorful transparent paper, and the children had spontaneously formed a craze for collecting fruit candy wrappers since last night. Every time a short hair walks by, everyone is silent and breathless, to see if he will take out a candy ball, everyone will keep an eye on this lucky man, to see that he can't wait to stuff the sugar ball into his mouth, pinching the paper in his hand, as if he has taken some treasure.
"These children can be our new blood in the future." Wang Luobin said to Xi Yaya. Seeing these yellow-skinned, half-naked children, the first comprehensive industrial jishu school that had been envisioned for a long time came out again.
"Then we'll have one." Xi Yaya said, "What does the land reform team do? Fight the landlord, divide the land, and run a night school—"
"That's right!" Wang Luobin nodded excitedly, "I forgot about this." He was a little ashamed and said: "I always want to have a school building, a dormitory, a canteen, and a laboratory like a regular school...... So after thinking about it several times, I always felt that the materials were still very scarce, and the time was not ripe to run a school. In fact, to run a school, there is a room and a blackboard! ”
"There are 30 of us, and each of us can be a teacher for children." Xi Yaya said, "Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be bored and die at night?" "Running a night school is not only educational, but also allows everyone to have something to do to kill time in this very boring night, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare for this right away." Wang Luobin walked away happily.
The first task of the traversers is energy, as a small independent base by the sea, wind turbines are the most choice. Lingao's own wind resources are relatively abundant.
He Ying led the team to use the primitive boom and pulley method to lift a heavy packing box onto a high platform made of stone - judging from the appearance of the stone platform, it should have been a bell and drum tower in the past, but the building on the stone platform had collapsed many years ago. There was only a thick layer of rubble and dirt on the countertop. He Ying wiped his sweat and measured the altitude, together with the height of this platform of more than 5 meters, which is nearly 10 meters above sea level, the foundation is relatively solid, and the windward side is open. The wind was so strong that the sweat dried in a while. He couldn't help but shudder. This should be the right place to be.
An hour later, a two-meter-tall shelf resembling a high-voltage power tower was erected.
Two hours later, a fan-like thing was mounted on the shelf.
Two and a half hours later, the blades of this nose were installed.
There was already a black box under the shelf, and a thick cable connected to the "electric fan" on the shelf.
He Ying pedaled on the shelf and pulled down the fan blade safety forcefully. The "electric fan" whirred to the ground, and the black box made a long drip. Clean Energy Facility No. 1 is now operational.
This wind turbine is purchased off-the-shelf. The fan blades are fiberglass, the generator is a small DC motor, and there is a battery in the substation box under the shelf. In fact, the electricity generated is first charged and then powered. In this way, the voltage will be relatively stable, and the power will only be 400 watts.
In addition to lighting electricity, 400 watts of electricity can only run computers and other things, which is enough for the time being. In the planning of the energy sector, once the situation in the salt works has stabilized, a small thermal generator will be put into operation here - supposedly home-made, and the mechanics have been drawing boiler drawings lately.
This small self-produced generator is not going to make any trouble, and he is not going to install it at that time. He Ying, who was installing the generator, muttered to himself that he had brought a small generator privately, but as soon as he came ashore, he requisitioned it from the Planning Commission, and because of this generator, he became a member of the energy team of the Ministry of Industry.
