With a "pop" sound, a delicate traditional Ming-style folding wooden chair made of Nanyu with old lacquer was placed firmly on the stone surface.

When the first chair opened, there was a constant click, and soon a circle of chairs and the stool that served as a table top were in place.

The servant with a big waist and a round waist put away the chair, and then it was time for the little guy with a good face and a delicate figure to come on the field.

A kerosene stove from Yizhou is erected, a blue flame rises, and in a large white glass teapot, the blue bud tea floats up and down in the spring water. Soon, the turquoise tea tumbled up, and then it was poured into a square, solid-color stamped carved glass straight cup, and served to the nobleman.

Desolate and desolate, this rocky land, which is called the Wild Seven Beaches by the locals, is rarely crowded today. In the natural typhoon shelter surrounded by several large stones, four or five gentlemen were sitting with Lei Jian drinking tea and eating snacks, and outside them, although they were not noisy or noisy, in fact, there were a total of more than 100 guards and servants ready to serve the old man at any time.

"Lord Lei, it's hard to panshan today, please also taste a product of Beishan fried green. Although the local products of this county are not famous, they are full of fragrance and color, and they have a unique taste. ”

First of all, it was none other than Bai Shen, a social sage in Zengcheng County.

Relying on the previous identity of a "friend businessman" and the relationship between his subordinate Wu Zhang's "united front person", Bai Juren was able to sit on the right hand side of the distinguished guest on this important occasion today.

After taking the teacup, blowing the foam, and taking a sip of tea, Lei Jian, who was wearing a denim suit, nodded and said, "Well, this tea is good, thank you Master Bai." ”

Although the tea preparation method that later generations are accustomed to was perfected and matured in the Qing Dynasty, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the folk tea industry in Fujian and Guangdong has updated the production process, and the tea cake method inherited from the Song Dynasty has declined, and the loose leaf tea that has been fried is now popular, so what Lei Jian drank in a glass today is the kind of tea and tea he was familiar with before he crossed.

Lei Jian, a regular geology professional, was the deputy leader of the exploration team before. Now, with the development of the traversal cause and the expansion of the territory, the previous exploration team has long been dismantled, and Lei Jian's side, as a separate branch, is busy exploring in the new territory all day long, and it is really three times without entering the house.

Lei Jian's task today is simple: to determine the specific location of the limestone quarry supporting the Zengcheng cement plant.

The limestone in Zengcheng area is of high quality, and the rock from some quarries, which contains more than 55% calcium carbonate, is a high-quality raw material for the production of cement.

Before this, Lei Jian had actually roughly delineated the scope of the quarry on the map, after all, the location of the quarry mine in the future would not change there. Then after the gangsters were exterminated and the production environment improved, as soon as the New Year was over, he hurried to come here to determine the address - the cement plant is a key project, and Ding Liqiu of the SAR government has been urging it to get started.

This time, in fact, Lei Jian had already brought his men to Zengcheng three days ago. After exploring the location of several mines and quarries in later generations, today he came to the location closest to the county seat: Huangqitan, and the extra guests were several masters in the county.

The barren seven beach is just north of the county seat, and it is a rocky beach near the river. Further north is a small hill with dense vegetation. There is no doubt that these hills are limestone substrates.

After taking the escort and a few apprentices to investigate the resources of the mine, everyone held a tea party on the spot on the rocky beach.

"Mr. Lei, you might as well try this water chestnut cake again...... Mr. Pan's dim sum is famous far and wide, and idlers can't taste it. ”

A little reserved to call Lei Jian "sir", the person who recommended dim sum to him was a middle-aged gentleman wearing a cloud scarf, wearing a narrow-sleeved cotton robe that was easy to move, and a pair of fashionable suede buffalo leather hiking boots under his feet - Zengcheng County Zhengtang Gu Tai.

After a series of previous **, Gu Tai, the county magistrate who was originally in Zengcheng in a mess, seems to have found a new direction in life. Gu Tai, who has actually been tied to the political power of the Cao family, is now very concerned about some new industries that he has never heard of, not only showing a strong interest, but also practicing it.

Hearing Gu County's recommendation for dim sum, Lei Jian put down the teacup with a smile, reached out and took a piece of snow-white water chestnut cake and put it in his mouth: "Well, it's sweet and refreshing, but not greasy, Master Pan is so good!" ”

Lei Jian praised in his mouth and stretched out his thumb to a white and fat old man sitting there.

Master Pan grinned here, and said with a happy face: "If it is convenient for Lord Lei, you can come to the student's home as a guest at any time." To tell the adults, the chef in the student's home still has a few dishes that he can handle, and it is the right time to have a good time with the adults. ”

"Then let's say it, we must bother, we must bother!"

Lei Jian was also full of joy, and nodded busily.

...........................

The development of the forces of the Crossing Masses to this day has undergone earth-shaking changes, both externally and internally, and some of the small problems that arose before have long since disappeared, or even reversed.

At the beginning, there were many people and small forces, and there were not enough official hats, and the newcomers were still fighting for who would be the official first.

However, today, with the expansion of the territory, coupled with the need to pass through the actual implementation of some administrative functions in Fujian and Guangdong, the **silk people suddenly found that there were too many official positions and there were not enough fools......

You must know that in later generations, even if it is a county seat, there will be at least dozens or hundreds of people at the management position above the department level, which is not counting the many enterprise management positions. And the more than 200 people who crossed the crowd set up a national shelf, with the power strongholds all over South China, so everyone soon found out that everyone needed to wear multiple hats to barely function.

In this way, everyone has been forced to practice dealing with the Ming people, and even some highly professional positions, such as geological experts such as Lei Jian, now have to put on a smile and play the role of goodwill ambassador and policy advocate.

This is a must: these few people who are willing to come to the barren beach today to accompany Lei Jian to blow the wind are undoubtedly the few people among the many big families in Zengcheng who are willing to publicly stand with the Cao family.

Whether it was for silver or other benefits, these people in front of them were equivalent to betting on the treasure and carrying the pressure, so after some entertainment, Lei Jian felt that it was almost over, so he reached out and took a roll of maps from his followers and spread it out on the stool in front of him: "Everyone, I have already decided on the address of this cement factory and quarry. Now I will tell you about the future Zengcheng industrial planning, there are many projects, you can see the situation of investment. ”

It's time to give some benefit to the followers, and in this regard, the traversal has always been generous.
