The next day, the planting team got the documents sent by Lao Ren, got on the truck, and was sent to the selected farm address. At that time, Shanghai was south of the French Concession, and there was a wasteland under Rihui Port, and even the famous Xujiahui was also a large area of farmland and vegetable fields.

Therefore, although the farmland demarcated is not flat, and the whole looks twisted and round, it is fortunately closely connected, and it has complete land deed procedures, which are respectively under the names of the previous Wang sisters and Lao Ren and Lao Hong, and even Gu Ji has a share of almost 80 acres.

The plot has nearly 400 acres, and the north-facing side is all along the river. However, the pollution at that time was very serious, and the opposite shore was full of factories, and the river water was smelly and could not be used. After the planting group arrived at the ground, one group of people used bamboo and linoleum to build temporary shelters first, another group immediately dug wells, and the last group wedged simple isolation piles along the boundary of the land to make signs.

The comrades assigned here were originally peasant masters, and they were familiar with these farm work. And the people of the city may find these farm work miserable, but for them it is the most kind. The temporary houses built of bamboo, although simple, can also temporarily shelter from the wind and rain. The season has entered spring, and the weather in Shanghai is already relatively suitable.

After the earthen stove is built, the cooked big pot of rice is also fragrant. Pusu is a daily necessities and food distributed according to the standards of the families of Belarusians. Therefore, they can eat meat dishes every day, and the Siamese rice tube is enough, and these team members are also full of energy when they work. To be honest, revolutionary feelings aside, everyone who has been transferred here feels that it is a good thing.

There are many people in the border area, and even if the garrison manages to get the supplies, they have to share them with the people in the base areas. This is the fine tradition of our party, and the army and the people share weal and woe. Due to the blockade and the spread of war, as well as the unfavorable weather, the planting harvest in the base area is very unsatisfactory. Originally, the fertile land in northern Jiangsu could not support the rations in the base area.

Therefore, it is normal for meal replacements in border areas. When staple food cannot be supplied, they can only fill their stomachs in various ways, including melon and vegetable generations, and often the soldiers can eat brown rice and thick noodles to celebrate the festival. Although everyone has adapted to it after a long period of perseverance, after all, it is a helpless compromise.

When they arrived in Shanghai, they saw the trucks transporting various materials back and forth to the farm, and these newcomers also had a bottom in their hearts. Pu Su and Lao Ren also stayed at the site for a day, mainly to study with them how to plant scientifically to maximize the use of this land.

Neither he nor Lao Ren knew anything about farm work, and things in the land were by no means trivial. If you delay the season, or plant unsuitable crops, you will waste at least a season. Before leaving, he appointed Lao Kuai as the leader of the farm's production team.

Lao Kuai is a native of Shandong, an old comrade in the Linyi area adjacent to northern Jiangsu. Familiar with the affairs of the field, and quite prestigious, meritorious military industry in battle, was originally the squad leader of the machine gun squad, tall and sturdy, with a loud voice, and a simple energy in Shandong.

Pu Su didn't understand the things in the field, so he just asked Lao Kuai to take a few experienced comrades to explore the fields. Including the construction of temporary shelters there, where to dig wells, the location of future cowsheds, pigsties and chicken coops, etc., the farmers have their wisdom and a set of long-term practice methods, the plan is to divert water to build a pond, dig a fish pond, stocking ducks, use pig manure and cow dung chicken manure and so on to create an ecological environment.

Of course, Lao Kuai's head is the Tao, and Pu Su and Lao Ren are like listening to the book of heaven, so they can only nod their heads again and again. As he spoke, he grabbed the soil from the ground, twisted it between his fingers and put it to his nose to sniff, then nodded intoxicatedly, saying that the land here is very fertile and has a lot of strength.

Shanghai is an impact plain, these silted land is indeed fertile, and there are no rocks in the soil to affect the cultivation of underground ore, by the time Pu Su took a pen and paper, and finally drew a blank space, the general plan of the whole farm has been almost done.

Fruits, vegetables, rice, wheat, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, etc., all have a general area. The specific yield of Pu Su did not let Lao Kuai estimate, worried about putting pressure on him, whether it was a mule or a horse, and he knew it when it was harvest season.

As for seeds and other livestock, including dairy cows, it is up to the Chamber of Commerce to deal with it. It was the first time that Pu Su knew that the price of a well-bred cow was actually higher than the price of two cars, and the price of raising a few cows alone made his eyes widen. And there is no market for it, so it is difficult to buy. I can't say that I have to go to the dairy farm set up by the public board of directors to think of a way.

There is still a long process to be done here. In the future, when the other comrades' documents are all obtained, they will need to take turns to come here in batches to assist in the work. No matter what his background, he must learn to work in the fields, including himself. In his opinion, it is also a very practical life skill.

Moreover, he also prepared a branch here, consisting of two cadres who were originally in charge of political work, serving as political commissars, one principal and one deputy, stationed here. Regularly conduct political propaganda and education to all their comrades who come to Shanghai.

He himself is not good at political work, but he knows very well that this string must not be relaxed. Shanghai is a world of flowers, and many players can abide by the rules in the environment of the border area, but not necessarily in the environment of Shanghai. Therefore, in all circumstances, we must persist in maintaining our party's fine work style and traditions.

He studied psychology and knows that people are environmental animals and tend to change with the environment. The superiors handed these people into his hands out of trust in him, but more importantly, a heavy responsibility. If some comrades change their thinking and behavior in the future, the consequences cannot be made up for by mere regret.

His rule was that every week, comrades from each department should attend at least one political work meeting. Everyone is required to submit an ideological report on their own initiative within the specified time, including himself and Li Wenjuan, and all members of the party and the organization. Of course, Lao Ren and Alyosha are the exceptions.

For this kind of gathering activity, the branch and the activity venue can only be set up here. The main thing is that although it is only separated by a river, it is already considered a suburb. The farm of the future is a gated private farm, large enough. Even if there is an accident, it will not be surrounded in a small environment, at least there is the firepower of the workshop on the opposite bank to support the retreat.

If it's in an urban area, or other sealed places, similar gatherings and group activities can easily be wiped out. And if it is carried out inside the fortress, this kind of politically charged activity still needs to pay attention to the impact. After all, these failed Tsarist soldiers can be said to be extremely unacceptable to similar ideas. (Don't ask why, you should understand everything.) )

He personally selected 20 team members, and in the future, he will also take on the duties of the internal picket discipline team. Random and irregular inspections are carried out, and the focus is on supervising field personnel in normal times.

This is not the rule of spies, it is openly stated at the meeting and every comrade who comes to Shanghai. After all, everyone's words and deeds here not only represent themselves, such a complex situation, the slightest mistake will not affect just the individual, but the entire system that has been established with great difficulty.

For example, he can no longer be hidden behind the scenes. To a certain extent, at least among the nearly 200 comrades, he has made his identity public. Even if no one knows that he is "King Kong", they also know that he is the head of the border area in Shanghai.

At this time, he can only come forward to organize and manage, otherwise who will take the lead in the organization? Li Wenjuan? Not to mention whether she has this ability, in fact, there are many situations in Shanghai, and even she herself has not yet figured it out. Therefore, when someone needs to take responsibility, even if he knows that there is a crisis, he must stand up.

At the meeting, he simply opened his words and warned everyone that arriving in Shanghai did not mean that they had broken away from the organization and supervision, but on the contrary, because of the complicated situation of the enemy, the internal supervision would be stricter than in the border areas. And the punishment is even more severe than before.

To sum up, the first of the several disciplines is not to have any kind of contact with the outside world and outsiders without authorization. In addition to the comrades who serve in the field, the needs of work. In addition, you can't drink alcohol and don't go out without permission, this is a dead order, and you can't violate it once, as long as you have one time, you will be immediately confined and sent back to the border area at the right time. If serious consequences are caused, they will be dealt with directly in accordance with military law here.

In fact, as long as it is repatriated, it means that all the previous efforts are over. Every comrade attending the meeting, hearing this, gradually changed their facial expressions from relaxed at the beginning to solemn.

At the meeting, Pu Su had a straight face, there was no nonsense, and he went straight to the topic at the beginning, and this is not a place to talk about democracy, and he directly announced discipline, and there was no room for discussion.

There is also a clause in the declared discipline, that is, regardless of gender, anyone who dares to violate the discipline of relations between men and women here, will be dealt with by military law, and finally sent as appropriate.

Not only are there no work style problems between the inside, but also the outside world, and it is obvious that that is a repeated violation of the corresponding regulations. Many comrades said that it was not good, it was originally a dirt bun, and this is not a mockery, but a fact. I haven't opened my eyes before, but now I suddenly arrived in this world of flowers, and the modern girls on the beach on the beach are dressed up and dressed in revealing clothes, which is an eye-opener.

Pu Su noticed that when they were gathered in the basement, several White Russian women came to distribute quilts and food, and many comrades' eyes were already straight, looking at the White Russian women with greedy expressions, which made him feel that the situation was serious, and that discipline in this area must be emphasized, and it should be emphasized repeatedly.

In fact, he knew in his heart that no matter how much he emphasized, among the nearly 200 people, it would never be monolithic. Among these people, there are bound to be problems. It's just that I don't know who it is now, and what kind of situation will happen. All he can do now is try to prevent it from happening.

Some things, after all, have to return to human nature, and have nothing to do with political ideas and beliefs. It was because of this realization that Pu Su decided from the beginning not to let these people go to the ground, to prevent them from understanding what the world above was like. After all, the mansion is a painstaking base camp, and the lives of thousands of people are at stake.

So, according to his deployment, Lao Ren transported them out of the ground in phases and batches, one batch of farms, one batch of workshops, and one batch of Rafid Road, and when Dr. Ma was sent to the Haig Road Clinic with medical care, the rest of the people here were the engineers and technicians who were originally going to be stationed in the fortress, as well as the medical staff and the operator.

These comrades are all people who have no reason to go out. Unless there are special circumstances, their range of activities is within the fortress and they will hardly come into contact with the outside world, which is also what makes Pu Su more reassuring. So far, he lacks leadership skills, and he can only do this as much as he can.

Management is not a job that seems easy. Whoever has done it knows that on the surface it seems to have a lot of voice and leadership, but in fact it takes a lot of effort and responsibility. Those who are led naturally do not need to think too much. Behind the execution of orders, all food, clothing, shelter and transportation depend on the leader to provide.

As an organization and leader, you need to be in every detail, and the consequences of the slightest mistake can be unpredictable.

Since then, Pusu's nerves have tightened more every day than before. With a pragmatic personality, he never had the luxury of expecting so many people to come, and there would be no accidents in Shanghai. He just wished that the day would come later, and that it would be better for things to be smaller.

After settling in, he took the two comrades back to the residence on Rafeide Road according to the recommendation of Lao Kuai and Ma Dafu. A porter and titular man, Lao Yao. Lao Yao is a native of northern Jiangsu, originally worked as a chef in the Huaiyang restaurant in Yangzhou, because of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, his family was ruined, and he was also in charge of the cooking class in the border area after defecting to the base. This time, he originally came over to cook in the farm, but Pu Su asked him to come over.

In fact, he and Li Wenjuan rarely eat in Shikumen, but there must be a cook at home. At that time, it was common for wealthy families in Shanghai to recruit private chefs. When setting up a family banquet, they often borrow cooks from each other to set off their own façade, and it is a very decent thing to have a private chef who can cook a few private dishes. The Huaiyang cuisine is one of the famous dishes in China, and the restaurant before Lao Yao is said to have a history of 100 years, and he has all kinds of recipes in his mind.

And Aunt Niang is a fifty-year-old lady. The eldest lady's surname is Wang, and she was originally a lonely widow in the base area, and Ma Dafu added her to the list out of sympathy and came to Shanghai together, originally planning to follow her. After hearing Pu Su's request, he left it to Pu Su. Aunt Wang is diligent with her hands and feet, Pu Su and Li Wenjuan are polite to her, saying that she will enjoy her happiness when she arrives here, and there is usually nothing to do here.

Aunt Wang and Zheng Weizhi have one room, and the other room Lao Yao and Chenghua live here. After Chenghua, he was nominally Li Wenjuan's driver and assistant, so that his small courtyard was now fully staffed. A secretary, an aunt, a cook and a driver.

Lao Yao usually cooks, and needs to go next door to cook a big pot of rice. The dormitory next door still retains the status of the group dormitory of the White Russians at that time. His original subordinates, the 20 new team members and Yu Dabao all lived here.

The other thirty scouts were scattered around the houses, forming a seemingly loose but actually close posture of guarding each other.
