But just acting as a "translator" in this way, for Mu Min, he really felt condescending to Xiaoda. Although she has not had much contact with this person, she is smart and inorganic, straightforward and decisive, and has shown her negotiation ability in several contacts with Li Min. If you train it well, you will be a good cadre. Although both the Senate and the Executive Committee made it clear in their instructions to the Office of Le Tho Thiao Affairs that the Senate's ethnic policy was "no ethnic policy" -- there was only a distinction between naturalized and indigenous peoples, and there was no special policy such as the training of "ethnic cadres" or "ethnic classes."

"Whether or not a native can become a qualified naturalized citizen under the Senate system depends first of all on whether his loyalty to our system transcends his own national and religious feelings!" In an internal speech, the Senate's propaganda theorist Tintin said, "Whoever fails to meet this standard cannot become a naturalized citizen!" ”

Having said that, as far as the local situation is concerned, it is almost impossible to go deep into the interior of Hainan Island to handle the affairs of Li and Miao, without naturalized people who are familiar with the local situation as guides. Therefore, Mu Min still managed to train a few naturalized cadres from Li Miao in Lingao, Changhua and Sanya. Of course, the specific work is still done by Fang Jinghan - he is in charge of the general work of the office now.

Mu Min was thinking about how to talk to her again in the evening, encouraging her to study and work, and making her agree to follow her back to Lingao to participate in the training of the national school. She planned to train a group of Li Miao naturalized cadres, but she was reluctant to go to Lingao to study -- she felt free to live this kind of life in Changhua, and she was unwilling to go to Lingao to "go to school" and be constrained. Suddenly, someone was making noise outside the gate of the training camp, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: although this is not Changhua Fort, it is less than a kilometer away from Changhua Fort, and it is also the military control area of the Senate. It is not a market that anyone can enter. On weekdays, he doesn't care about Han Limiao, and he is heavily guarded against this. Where people stand guard day and night, they stay away. Not to mention taking the initiative to run to the door and quarrel with people.

In the midst of his suspicion, a soldier had already run back and had spoken a few words to Yu Da - it was about Li Min who needed her to translate. Unexpectedly, after saying a few words, Xiaoda's face actually changed. Turn around and run.

Mu Min was puzzled, so he had to go over and see it himself.

When I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw five or six young Li people making noise at the door. The leader was a young man. He looks healthy and sturdy, with pheasant feathers on his head, and is dressed very elegantly, so he knows that he is the head of the stockade. Mu Min felt that he was a little familiar, and at this moment, he saw that he was talking to a person at the door. Mu Min knew this person, it was Wang Daliang's uncle Li Benqing.

For the past two years, Li Benqing has been working as a guide and translator for the cooperative's caravans. I no longer rely on hunting to make a living, and I have gained a lot of benefits. Had a few dollars on hand. The Xianghaode woman in the "boudoir" officially married his wife. Although he continued to live in the trench village, he had to go to Changhuabao several times a month to report to his work, and he was half a naturalized citizen.

Seeing that the "chief" was coming, Li Benqing hurried over to report: It turned out that these five or six Li people had come to join the army -- but now that the recruitment work had ended, the other party refused to leave, and he had to surrender to the army, and he had to call out the person in charge.

Mu Min didn't care: "If they want to join the army, let them come in and register." What's the point of having a few more people? ”

Li Benqing whispered: "If it's someone else, forget it, this is a Huan!" ”

Before Mu Min could figure out which one Zhan Huan was, Li Benqing had already added: "It's the son of Zhan Aoya!" ”

Mu Min suddenly realized: "Is it a good match?" All of a sudden, all the memories of the original came flooding back: this Jinhuan can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and when they took Yuda away, they intercepted him halfway. The relationship between the two also involves the power struggle between the two families of the king and the array of the wall, and the details are intricate. Mu Min took away the village out of sympathy for the innocent victim of the power struggle, and at the same time, he did not want his friends to fall into chaos in the internal fighting.

"That's it!" Li Benqing nodded again and again, "Since Xiaoda came back from Lingao, he has come to Changhua Fort several times to look for Xiaoda, but Xiaoda refuses to see him. It's going to be like this every time. ”

This time, he heard that the "Australians" who had taken him away were recruiting soldiers, so he simply brought a few brothers with him to join the army. In his concept, since he is in the Australian, he can see her all the time as long as he is an Australian soldier.

"It's still a lover." Mu Min sighed enviously, "It's really romantic." ”

As he was talking, Jin Huan had already run over, his movements were very flexible, and in a few strokes, he dodged the soldiers who tried to intercept him, and rushed straight to a place not far from Mu Min. Several guards accompanying Mu Min immediately picked up their bayonet rifles and forced him to stop.

Jin Huan's mood was quite jerky, but he was quite jealous of the soldiers with muskets with bright daggers, and he just muttered something and did not make any more drastic movements.

Li Benqing hurriedly came out to translate, and Mu Min listened to Jin Huan's request: he still has to be recruited into the army.

Mu Min nodded: "You want to be our soldiers, it's good." It's just that you are a soldier weishenme? ”

Zhen Huan was stunned for a while, he was a privileged class in the village, he didn't worry about food and clothing, and his hunting skills were also very strong, so there was no need to come out to be a soldier to eat food, it was all for the sake of meeting with Xiaoda before he thought of joining the army.

After a moment's hesitation, he said loudly, "You have taken Ryda!" I'm going to be with her, and the only way to be a soldier for you is to be a soldier! ”

Mu Min said, "I know you want to meet with Yuda. But when you become a soldier, you don't necessarily have to see Yuda. She is her, you are you. She is now a cadre of the Senate, and you will become a soldier of the Senate in the future, and you will obey the command of the Senate in everything. I can't decide where I go, how can I still see her? ”

Jin Huan said without hesitation: "Anyway, she is there for you, and we will meet one day." ”

Mu Min nodded: "Then let me tell you, as soon as you enlist in the army, you will be sent to the field to fight in a few days, maybe a few months, or a few years, maybe you will die on the battlefield before you have time to see her." Besides, even if you can see her, it won't necessarily change anything, are you still going to be a soldier? ”

Jin Huan was unmoved and resolutely asked to enlist in the army. Mu Min nodded: "Okay, just accept him." Since it was his own free will. ”

Li Benqing smiled helplessly, and took him away, and several partners and friends around Jin Huan also enlisted in the army.

Fang Jinghan was a little uneasy - he whispered: "He is going to go to Xiaoda, Xiaoda is the translator of military training, and when we meet on the training ground, I may not make any new tricks!" ”

Mu Min smiled: "It's out of the way." She is not the only Li Min cadre who can speak Chinese. In this case, he will beg to go back to Lingao with us to study. ”

"Director, you're really insightful." Fang Jinghan lost no time in patting her ass, and sighed again, "Xiao Array is really pitiful-what an infatuated man." This woman is so hateful! ”

Mu Min shook his head, smiled, and didn't say any more.

Escorted by soldiers, they strolled along the improvised road - many sand dunes could be seen on the shore of Changhua Fort - which were overgrown with shrubs and pastures, the result of human intervention.

The coastal area of Changhua was very seriously damaged due to the early development of human beings, coupled with the special geographical and natural environment, which caused the continuous internal invasion of the coastal sand dunes, resulting in the formation of a large area of desert grassland topography. In the 20th century, such coastal deserts even invaded more than a dozen kilometers.

Because of the abundant rainfall here, coupled with the moisture of the Changhua River, the barren low shrubs and wild vegetables can still survive. After Kong Lingyang took office, he used his agricultural knowledge to artificially grow leguminous pastures that tolerate poor soil on a large scale in local pastures for animal husbandry. At the same time, it also plays a role in solidifying and improving the soil.

In summer, the pastures are covered with lush vegetation and the aroma of grass. On the banks of the Changhua River, scattered flocks of sheep and cattle graze. In addition to Changhua sheep and cattle and buffaloes in Li District, there are also some high-quality cattle and sheep collected from Hainan Island and Guangdong and some high-quality cattle and sheep from the old time and space that are bred with frozen semen and local mothers, and now they are grazing here to expand their populations. Although there is a lot of arable land in Lingao, industrial and agricultural production has to occupy a large area, and the land resources are far more tight than those in Changhua, so the Nanhai Farm is now mainly used for breeding livestock and a small number of dairy cows. Animal husbandry for meat, skin, and wool has all been transferred to Changhua.

On the banks of the river, there are many cows drinking water. In the summer, the Changhua River is the season of high water, the flow is very large, the river is swollen, and the river is full of large and small waterholes, and dense reeds and other aquatic plants grow - very different from when they first came here.

Mu Min noticed that there were some canals and waterwheels, and that Kong Lingyang had used local labor and materials, and a small number of professional workers sent by Lingao to build a simple irrigation system for the pasture, which made the artificial pasture here grow better—natural pasture and natural irrigation were not enough to make the natural pasture carry a large number of livestock.

On the tidal flats of the Changhua River, personnel from the Lingao Laide exploration team are surveying and mapping. One of Mu Min's acquaintances was Yan Quezhi - he used to work at the Wenlan River Hydrological Station in Lingao, and this time he came to Changhua with the exploration team, probably to investigate the water resources here.
