Chapter 14: Island Cavalry?

The commercial port of Hormuz is the size of a small town in the Great Song Dynasty, but after planning, it is extraordinarily regular, and the cement roads extend in all directions.

Perhaps because there are jujube trees planted on both sides of the road, it is cooler than on Bahrain.

General Manager Hu Zhennan and his entourage walked through the town and went directly to the naval base, where they were personally greeted by the captain of the naval team here.

In fact, the two of them came here in a fleet together, so they were acquaintances.

The captain of the Navy squad apologized for not letting them dock at the military port------ which is a Navy rule that civilian ships are not allowed to dock at a military port.

Can General Manager Hu Zhennan not understand? There are no rules, there is no circle!

They visited the entire naval base with a smile.

The hornless cow was very concerned about the layout here------ and Hu Zhennan's eldest brother asked him to build a military dock for the maritime security team of the New Oriental Security Company on Bahrain Island, he observed and asked carefully.

As they walked, they divided into two groups, and the hornless ox and the officer who accompanied him ran to the dock to watch the guard; General Manager Hu Zhennan became interested in the crops in the naval base, and there were even ten war horses raised here!

Oh my God, if you get another team of cavalry on the island of Bahrain, it will be invincible!

He made up his mind, and a group of cavalry swung their sabers and rushed towards the enemy who had just forcibly landed------ it was really a slaughter like chopping vegetables!

The point is, how can there be so many crops in the naval base and grow extremely well?!

The captain of the navy squatted with him at the head of the crops, and in front of them were nearly five acres of tomatoes, some ripe, some still half green.

The captain said:

"My predecessor was promoted and left, it was he who designed the military port and the commercial port, and planted hundreds of acres of jujube trees------ I reclaimed dozens of acres of vegetable land here, hehe, no way, we can't compare to the Persians and Huihui, they don't eat vegetables all their lives, and it is too troublesome to transport vegetables from the Tianzhu region and East Africa, wasting military spending!

Or Bishop Zhangdao I use drip irrigation to grow vegetables, which requires a little labor, but it is extra cost-effective. ”

"Ah, Island Master Zhang has been here?!"

"Where can it! He sent a few drawings and related bamboo pipe ------"

The captain of the navy explained with his heart.

Originally, the so-called drip irrigation technology is very simple, first choose a barren slope at an angle of about five degrees, pre-bury into the bamboo pipe connected from end to end, and wrap the joint with cotton cloth soaked in tung oil to prevent water leakage.

After pouring water into the cement canal at a high place, it will naturally flow into each bamboo pipe along the cast iron port in the cement canal, and then it will also water directly to the roots of the crops from the small eye, and the excess water will flow to the bottom culvert, from where it can flow directly to the cornfield.

The bamboo pipes in the corn field are thicker and the eyes are larger, but after the water has passed, there is still water left, which is just right for drought-tolerant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and can also be used to grow some high-quality pasture grass or soybeans.

The captain of the navy took him around a great circle and said:

"There's no way, you still have spring water there, although you can't drill a well, but you can produce oil------ we only have fresh water here, if it weren't for the pot camel pump, even if you can drip irrigation technology, you can be tired to death."

The land here is not as fertile as yours there, and it seems to be growing very well at the moment, and I wanted to wait for two or three harvests before teaching you, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. ”

"What should I do if the bamboo pipe rots in the ground?"

"The harvest is changed once it is done------ there is bamboo in the port of Maduri in Tianzhu, and the bamboo craftsmen there can make it according to the size."

General Manager Hu Zhennan looked up to the sky and laughed, hahaha, what I have there is a barren slope, and the horses on the north and south continents are cheaper than the donkeys in Shandong, it seems that the plan to raise cavalry is feasible!

"You have to apply some struvite in the field, there are no pests and diseases on the island, and you don't have to spray organic pesticides.

When I was supporting farmers, I let the stone sulfur solution smoke out------ when I saw sulfur when I was supporting the workers, I was afraid of three points, hehe. ”

In the evening, the captain of the navy squad led his men to entertain them in the naval officers' canteen, and resolutely refused their gifts.

Frankincense and sea pearls, which are both high-priced items in the Great Song Market, are similar to gold.

The captain of the navy squad said: "I have no shortage of money at home, I just came here for a meritorious service, we are a family in the military and the locality, don't say that we talk and speculate when we come, even if a strange businessman comes to me, as long as he has a citizenship certificate, we will help------ don't ruin my future." ”

This is really not a polite remark, General Manager Hu Zhennan knows the attitude towards soldiers on Liuqiu Island, which is a treatment that Da Song can't compare to at all.

It doesn't matter if he has a beautiful military uniform, he doesn't have a high income, and he doesn't have any privileges, he still abides by the rules and regulations, but Zhang Daozhu can send his domestic boy to join the army, and I heard that he will let his eldest son join the army in the future, which explains the problem.

What's more, I heard that they can always be in the army in the future, not to mention, and they can also be in politics, and above the squad leader, almost all of them are directly in the county.

The captain of the navy team listened very carefully to what General Manager Hu Zhennan said, he thought about it for a while, and said: "The Ilkhanate does not have the ability to invade on a large scale, but it is not ruled out that the private actions of some of their local governors------ you have not arranged for you to go to their main dock to monitor them?!" ”

General Manager Hu Zhennan smiled knowingly and said, "Of course there is------ but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case!" ”

"It makes sense, I will immediately apply to my superiors for regular patrol missions on Bahrain Island, you can rest assured, when the time comes, you will see that we have a new flying scissor patrol warship, even if there is no artillery on it, the members of the warship will shoot dozens of bullets, and what kind of enemy can't stand it------- and there is a spark wireless telegraph on it, which can contact the base on the sea hundreds of kilometers away!"

General Manager Hu Zhennan said with a smile: "Please set up a post office there quickly-------

"The affairs of the postal service, our navy can't take care of it, it's an administrative business, and we have no right to interfere!"

"Haha, they think we're going to lose money, right? It's okay, we can pay ten times the postage! ”

But that's just a joke------

This dinner was a treat for the captain of the navy, and the content was very rich.

People are not very interested in seafood and beef and mutton, but those fresh melons and vegetables are particularly popular.

General Manager Hu Zhennan was chewing cucumbers and drinking coconut blossom wine, which was very popular with his natural boldness.

However, General Manager Hu Zhennan was thinking about how to get into a personal relationship with that naval captain, and he concluded that this person would have a bright future.

When General Manager Hu Zhennan returned to Bahrain Island, the captain of the navy team gave them a lot of fresh melons and fruits, and he did not shirk it and asked for them all.

In this way, when he goes to visit Bahrain, it will be difficult to shirk what he gave him, right?!

When he returned, the hornless ox always shouted to him for large-caliber artillery, and he had already become obsessed with the defensive artillery in the naval base, and as soon as the object was fired, the ships of the sea five miles away would also sink!

General Manager Hu Zhennan's eyes widened and said:

"Do you really think you're an army?!

If you are a person in the navy, you would like the security team of a certain company to have a gun as big as the navy?!

It's okay to have no horns, but you can't be mindless! ”

The hornless ox suddenly woke up, but it was still a little unwilling.
