Chapter 177: Daishan West Island

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Guo Jintao fanned the wind with his coat and continued: "I have carefully observed the salt pans in the south of Qishan Island these days, and I found that the tidal flats in the south are almost full. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be no place to build salt pans. ”

Zhao Zizhong was very surprised, he didn't expect that the large area of tidal flats in the south would be almost developed so quickly. If there is no place to build salt pans, it will definitely affect the production of sea salt. Cui Daoshu has just signed an agreement with Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun, saying that he will supply a large amount of sea salt to the two. Who knew that there would be no place to repair the salt pans! It's a real headache.

Guo Jintao saw Zhao Zizhong bowing his head and pondering, so he continued: "Mr. Zhao, I have a solution, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhao Zizhong raised his head and asked eagerly, "How to solve it?" What's your best idea? ”

"Mr. Zhao, after careful searching, I found a large beach on the south side of Qishan Island, the north side of Zhoushan Island, and on the west island of Daishan Mountain, which is located in the middle of the two islands, which should be suitable for the cultivation of salt pans."

"Daishan West Island? I really didn't pay attention to it. ”

"Mr. Zhao, Daishan Island is divided into Daishan West Island and Daishan East Island, and there is a waterway between the two islands. Daishan West Island is very large, about the same size as Qishan Island. In the southwest of the island there is a large area of tidal flats, which should be able to build thousands of acres of salt pans. ”

Zhao Zizhong was very excited, and immediately stood up and said, "Lao Guo, let's go and see it now." If it's suitable for drying salt, we'll be able to send a large team there right away. ”

Guo Jintao immediately stood up, and the two walked in the direction of the dock.

When they arrived at the dock, the two boarded a warship, Guo Jintao ordered the sailors to raise the sails and anchor, and the warship slowly left the dock.

The warship traveled some distance to the west, then turned to the south, and after about half an hour, Zhao Zizhong saw an island, estimated to be about the size of Qishan Island.

Guo Jintao came over and said, "Mr. Zhao, this is Daishan West Island. ”

The vegetation on this island is lush and full of lush forests. The warship circled the island and soon came to the southwestern part of the island.

Zhao Zizhong saw a large tidal flat with some reeds and meadows.

"Lao Guo, you have a heart. This place is very suitable for drying salt, so we must occupy this place and start building the salt pans as soon as possible. ”

The two observed for a long time, and it was not until it was almost dark that Guo Jintao ordered to return.

Back at the camp, the cafeteria was closed. Zhao Zizhong took Guo Jintao to the hotel, ready to have a good drink with him.

After entering the hotel, Zhao Zizhong found a guy and asked him to call all the brothers, plus Cui Zhaorong and Hu Shuiyang.

Zhao Zi focused on a lot of dishes, and both of them were hungry, so they didn't wait for the brothers to start eating.

After a while, the brothers arrived one after another, and Cui Zhaorong and Hu Shuiyang also came.

Everyone sat down and asked Zhao Zizhong why he invited everyone to dinner for no reason.

Zhao Zizhong told today's story, and everyone was surprised.

Wei Hongye said: "Lao Guo, you have made a great contribution!" Be sure to send you a bonus. Lao Zhao, how much do you think is appropriate? ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Five hundred." What do you think? ”

Guo Jin was stunned, his hands trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Na Zhe smiled and said, "Lao Guo, calm, calm." Don't look like you haven't seen money. Please, haha. ”

Guo Jintao came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "This is too much, I definitely can't ask for it!" ”

Cui Daoshu persuaded: "Lao Guo, you have a lot of credit this time, although it is not a war achievement, but your suggestion has solved a big problem." If we produce an extra pound of salt, we can earn an extra thirty dollars. The place you find is estimated to be able to build thousands of acres of salt pans. That's a million catties of salt production every month! Can you increase our income by tens of thousands of guan, do you say that you will be rewarded with more than 500 guan? ”

An Dalang said loudly: "Lao Guo, don't mother-in-law, let you take it, you can take it." Tomorrow I will go with you to Daishan West Island, occupy that place, and fight whoever disobeys. ”

Zhao Zizhong glared at An Dalang, "You know how to fight and kill all day long, so you can't use your brain?" ”

An Dalang asked puzzledly: "What's the use of using your brain?" It's better to do it with your hands. ”

Zhao Zizhong said helplessly: "Da Lang, you are now an official, and you are inspecting the ninth grade. You put on your official uniform and go to Daishan Island, no one dares to mess with you. ”

"And Lao Guo, you are now the deputy inspector, and you have to show your official authority. Tomorrow you all put on official uniforms and take a hundred guards to go around the top of Daishan West Island, so that the inhabitants of the island can see you. Then let the guards announce to the residents that the inspection department would set up an official office on the island, which would be located near Yantian. ”

Zhao Zizhong took a sip of wine and continued: "I will organize personnel with Boris to send an advance team to the south of Daishan West Island tomorrow afternoon to build a shack. After the shack was erected, a large team of men was sent there and began to build the salt pans. ”

A lively discussion began to be had about many of the details of the plan.

Cui Zhaorong said: "Where can we emulate the experience of dealing with the residents of Qishan Island, and give grace to the residents of Daishan West Island, and let Dalang take the guards to scare and scare them. Then we sent them some food, cloth, and hired as many people as we could to do the work for us. ”

Everyone agreed, and asked Cui Zhaorong to assign a few guys who were to be responsible for communicating with the residents of the island.

Cui Daoshu also said: "You can also set up a new camp camp there, and divide some of the displaced people brought by Wang Mingjun there. Now that it is almost the hottest time of the year, I am afraid that a large number of displaced people will come to Qishan Island and there will be an outbreak of plague. ”

Cui Zhaorong said eagerly: "If the plague breaks out, it will be terrible, and many people will die, we must find a way!" ”

Wei Hongye said: "We must do a good job of prevention and sprinkle quicklime in the camping areas for disinfection. Let the homeless people have to drink boiled water and not defecate in the open. Let them bathe every day and wash their clothes often. Do you think there's anything else to add? ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "I was negligent and didn't think about the severity of the plague. We must do our best to prevent the plague from happening. Lao Wei's suggestion is very good, and we must implement it to the letter. In this way, the training of the escort team was suspended, and the escort was divided into three parts, and one part remained on Qishan Island. ”

He paused, and then said, "Send another part of the people to Daishan West Island, and the last part to Zhoushan Island, to take charge of the temporary camp there." Let Zhang Hong be in charge of the affairs of Zhoushan Island, that kid is clever and black-hearted, and he will definitely deal with it. Boris was in charge of the affairs of Daishan West Island, and in addition to preventing the plague, he also had to start repairing the salt pans. Boris, you have to work a little harder, and build a large number of salt pans as soon as possible under the scorching sun, so as to ensure that the production of sea salt will reach a higher level. ”

Boris nodded, "No problem, the matter of repairing the salt pans is on me." I'm already familiar with the road, and if I am given enough manpower to ensure the supply of supplies, I will soon build a large number of salt pans. ”

An Dalang thought about it and said, "Brother, I have a suggestion, we can set up escort camps on Daishan West Island and Zhoushan Island, and send people to stay on these two islands. It is possible to have them train while guarding the homeless. ”

Zhao Zizhong was very pleased, "Da Lang, you have finally learned to use your brain, this is very good!" Your idea is very good, there are more and more members of the escort, and it is imperative that we divide some of them. In the future, we will definitely occupy Daishan Island and Zhoushan, let the escort team set up camp on these two islands, familiarize ourselves with the environment there, and try to have a good relationship with the local residents. When that's right, we'll have no trouble occupying it. ”

So everyone discussed and asked Zhang Hong to take 100 people to Zhoushan Island, and Boris to take 200 people to Daishan West Island. There were still three hundred and fifty guards left on Qishan Island, and Zhao Zizhong had found two hundred rookies and was abusing them.

The plan was decided, and everyone began to eat and drink. Because tomorrow everyone has their own tasks, everyone drank for a while and then went back to rest.

The next morning, after An Dalang got up, he asked Xia Rongniang to find the official uniform and help him put it on.

Xia Rongniang said with a smile: "Da Lang, what are you doing in your official uniform on this hot day?" Aren't you afraid of covering up your prickly heat? ”

An Dalang said stinkily: "Rong Niang, my brother asked me to go to Daishan Island to shake my prestige and scare the residents there." What do you think? Am I majestic, right? ”

"Majestic, it's so majestic, my inspector. How many days are you going to go out this time? ”

An Dalang thought about it and said: "This is not good, I am not at home, if you are afraid at night, go to the dormitory of the school and live with your sisters." ”

Xia Rongniang agreed to come down and send An Dalang out.

An Dalang walked outside the camp and found that a hundred guards had been lined up in a neat phalanx. Ding Shuisheng ran over, saluted him, and then said, "Report to the instructor, the fourth squadron has all assembled, please instruct." ”

An Dalang asked, "Do you have all the weapons with you?" ”

"Report to the instructor, the weapons have been transported to the dock and are ready to be loaded."

An Dalang nodded, "Let's go!" ”

Ding Shuisheng led the team to the dock, and An Dalang followed behind, and soon arrived at the dock.

The guards lined up to board the warship, and An Dalang went up last. Guo Jintao walked over, wearing the same cyan official uniform as An Dalang.

He had dark circles under his eyes, his face was haggard, and he said weakly: "Da Lang, I vomited miserably yesterday and tossed all night." I didn't know before, Boris is so drinkable? ”

An Dalang laughed, "I said Lao Guo, you are bold enough to dare to provoke Boris." He was the best drinker of our brothers, and I never saw him get drunk. You're too self-conscious, aren't you? ”

Guo Jintao snorted and said: "Da Lang, I am convinced, and when I drink in the future, I will definitely avoid Boris." ”
