Chapter 534: Wind and Rain 4
Guangfu, the aftermath of the autumn tiger, is still shrouded in the sky above this prosperous metropolis, and the shouts of street vendors wandering in the city are also a dying tone.
Although, the daily supply to maintain this metropolis is still sufficient, and the people from the upper strata of society are still unstoppable, all kinds of day and night? The daily life of the night song. It was even enriched and enriched for a time, with special products and slaves from the Northland, so that the upper class of photovoltaic society had more ways to relax and relieve fatigue, and a place to have fun.
However, the impact of the war has begun to be felt quietly, and in this city of the eight provinces of Lingnan, at least in the Baoquan Street Zhufang, which represents the gathering of goods and goods, and the Zuocheng City, where merchants and travelers gather, as well as the Huawei Zhuda area, where the cargo stores and merchant ships are stationed the most, and many bankrupt and suspended workshops along the coast of the Kokai in Jinai, you can already feel the obvious smell of depression and cooling.
In the large and small ports on the outskirts of the city, although there are still busy ships coming and going, most of them are under the flag of official ships, or the marks of military ships, or the warships and transport ships of sailors.
Therefore, for the limited work on the docks, the various gangs and the huge number of coolie groups that were originally attached to the docks to beg for a living also broke out many fights and fights, which caused the law and order situation in many port areas to deteriorate rapidly.
In contrast, the Borneo merchant group, which was active in the docks of the port area of Canton, and its related qiē business, became one of the few bright spots and characteristics in this depression.
On the exclusive small port wharf, a large number of products and expensive goods from the north are continuously loaded and unloaded, and then loaded with local equipment, raw materials and other materials in Guangzhou, as well as craftsmen and apprentices from local bankrupt workshops.
Under the difficulties of unemployment and escalation, they have been bought out at least ten to twenty years of service, or even the second half of their lives, or simply in order to obtain a pension security, and have to go to other places to teach their skills and experience in the newly opened technical school.
As one of the sources of the initiators, in the Roche mansion,
"What the hell are you......"
The enigmatic creature was comfortably crossing its feet, lying on the rocking chair and swaying in the coolness, while looking at the summary of the situation and the progress report in front of it, while complaining sentence by sentence.
"Under the cover of military skins, is the classical militarist system of grassroots serfdom......
"It's amazing, it's just a copy of the level of the Ming Qi family......"
She couldn't help but complain again, and then scooped up a large spoonful of cold drink and put it in her mouth. And on the small machine next to her, all kinds of cold drinks and snacks are full.
"And the face and I brag about the big industrialization plan, and the ...... of modernizing the army construction"
"What else is the ...... of the sub-camp management system?"
"It's still the stuff of the forced labor camp of Starshu......"
"It's almost time to have another Beria who will do whatever it takes to complete the target......"
"Sour Sour Sour ......"
She took another bite of the amber sour plum jelly, covered her mouth and wrinkled her face, and then couldn't help but scream.
"It's so cool......"
What the mysterious creature is trying is a new product of summer food that has been quite popular soon after the launch of Luo's own Blue Road Workshop - frozen food, which is similar to the jelly gum, cold powder, and sorbet of later generations, which are divided into multiple types and grades.
There are not only relatively high-end agar glue boiled from seaweed, but also mid-end frozen rapeseed boiled gel, and even high-quality konjac powder boiled and diluted and filtered into popular products.
The taste varies according to the ingredients, and the simplest is to add sugar, rock sugar, stone honey, honey and other sweetness. To be more complicated, adding cow and goat milk becomes custard, and adding various seasonal juices becomes jelly.
Even with coconut meat, hawthorn skin, cherry crush, orange pieces, mango meat, pineapple, watermelon pulp, and other flavors to choose from.
Nowadays, the characteristics of fried chicken, spicy tang and grilled skewers operated by the branch chain of Borneo clan have become one of the best-selling and popular civilian foods in the city, and although the daily income is only a small amount of money for the family, the accumulation of the amount is also quite considerable.
Compared with these rapidly expanding industrial periphery, as the real foundation and industrial core of the family, the relatively high-end workshops under the names of Tiangonghao, Lanlufang and Yakumo Society are stepping up the transfer of equipment and personnel to the north.
In the end, in the end, only a few shops that maintain daily operations are left, and an empty shell general number that serves as a façade, where people are covered. In this way, if you need to give up in the future, you can minimize the loss with little heartache.
According to the lessons learned from the previous events in Guangzhou, after the exchange of letters during this period, a certain resolution was reached between the front and the back, which is the basic need for the so-called basic risk sharing and transfer.
After all, Guangfu is too close to the center of power, so after arriving at the position of one side of the guard, every move is noticed and even more restrained, and the competition for interests in the official face and the factional struggle in the court are also quite fierce, and it is easy to be involved. Although there is a natural convenience of a collection of materials, the corresponding operating costs and maintenance expenses are not low, as long as these façades and basic maintenance needs are left.
Borneo is a good raw material production area and dumping market, as well as the support of the Luo family's domain, as long as a little business is not easy to be controlled by others, but the sea route is a little far, and the minerals are a little poor, so when there is a real need, it is often slow to save the emergency, and can only be used as a place for the elderly and a large rear alternative.
As a transit place for the north-south sea trade and a rear garrison of the army, Yizhou is very suitable in terms of distance and location, and can also provide a variety of mineral deposits and sources of grain, fruits, vegetables, melons and vegetables required by Huaibei nearby. However, if you want to further expand and operate, the pattern is relatively cramped and limited. After all, what can be controlled is the peninsula in the north of Yizhou, the area of Jilong Mountain.
Mainly because of the existence of the silver family, the Yuwen family, a large local force, many things are inconvenient to put there. It was only through the purchase of goods and the import of goods, and the normal relationship of trade with the various feudal clans on the island was maintained.
As for the Qingyan Prefectures, which are under the direct control of the two Huai Disposal Envoys, although they are located on the front line, they are vulnerable to the risks and drawbacks of the epidemic, and they need to be rebuilt. But in the same way, it is also difficult for the forces and rear influences from the national dynasty to reach out and penetrate there, and some more sensitive or easily coveted undertakings and projects are also placed there to facilitate secrecy and control risks.
Moreover, there is already a ready-made basis for the output of minerals and land of different scales, but because the war has been abandoned, therefore, as long as there is enough investment and business cycle, it can also be said that it is the easiest place to see the results of the constraints and the ease of letting go. Therefore, the territory of Huaidong is the object of Luo's current focus on operating and transferring production capacity at any cost and cost
Amid the sound of the sea breeze and the undulating waves, I was already standing on the bumpy and swaying ship heading south, looking at the monotonous scenery of the sea and sky.
This is the second feeling after a long time, and I have a special taste in my heart.
Schrödinger, who probes his brain, is curious about the fresh environment of the explorer jumping around excitedly among the masts, canvases, cables, buckets and other debris.
It was no longer visible that when it first came aboard, the four ships that were frightened by the shaking of the hull were clinging to the deck, meowing and screaming, and their tails and ears drooping pitifully.
Just last night, he even caught a real prey for the first time with his innate instinct and talent, and bit out a fat rat hiding in the kitchen, plus a nest of rat cubs hidden in the cupboard.
Then it was easy for the sailors who thought it was a good omen to take the little fish that had been hoisted up from the sea, and feed them with bulging bellies, and roll lazily on the deck with their feet facing the sky.
Because of the overall safety considerations, I directly chose to take the "Julang", a large and stable "shark"-class naval division ship, instead of a convenient and fast communication ship for the Falcon Boat, or a much lighter Flying Fish ship for anti-smuggling and water warfare.
Moreover, this 3,000-material ship has also been renovated to meet the needs of troop transport, and in addition to the lower deck of the ballast cargo, there can also be additional space and facilities to meet the needs of troop transport.
Therefore, in addition to some of the valuable cargo in the bottom compartment, this ship also contained a whole regiment of personal soldiers and guards from the Zhenfu Tooth Soldiers, the pro-direct battalion, and their accompanying armor and mounts, which was more than enough.
A considerable part of the people who operate the boat are loyal and reliable people specially selected from the sailors I have recruited.
After all, although the route of the southeast generation has been walked no longer familiar, there is still a certain risk probability of walking on the sea in this era of sails.
Before, we had to rush to the south, but now we were in a hurry, so we slowly followed the wind south almost within a faint visual distance of the coastline.
Now some of the guards are gathered at the stern of the boat, shooting in ping-pong, following the flying seabirds and the big fish that have turned out of the water, as a routine daily training, and a competition to relieve the fatigue of the journey, it is a lively fight.
I even gave each little colored head, a colored silk, a few small gold cakes, two delicate bayonets, and a brief holding of the right to touch Schrödinger. Because, according to their private legends, this will lead to good luck.
Most of the accompanying civilian personnel stayed in the cabin and carried out their daily homework
On this trip, I left behind most of the staff and staff officers, including Wuping and Su Changsheng, and only brought a dozen or so attachés selected by each regiment, after all, it was to meet me, not to prepare for a battle.
In other words, in the face of the war in which there is no smoke of gunpowder in the court, most people are useless, or powerful.
However, according to the usual practice, these attachés still have to continue the daily assessment work and plan preparation during the journey. For example, emergencies and accidents encountered on the road during the journey should be regarded as nervousness or persecution paranoia, and it is better to take precautions.
In the era in which I lived, more often than not, the so-called staff work was actually the application of statistical operations research in military activities.
For example, before the start of the war, it is necessary to prepare and arrange the staff operations with sufficient planning and planning in advance, so as to increase the conditions and basis for victory and reduce the probability of accidents and variables.
In the end, the relative battlefield advantage of the itinerary is achieved, and the strategic to tactical goals are achieved. In the case of localities and garrisons, it also involves the overall planning and arrangement of specific affairs such as logistics, training, and equipment, so as to ensure the basic state of the army as much as possible and cope with daily needs and emergencies.
Of course, this is only a staff officer in a narrow and broad sense, and it can also be extended to the building of political power and organization.
I have only been in charge and governed Qingzhou for a short time, and it has not been long since the hidden stabilizing factors in the states have also been suppressed. In addition, after the reorganization and expansion of the army, it is inevitable that there will still be some dissident elements, and it is time for me to take action after I leave.
In addition, whether the other two envoys are still willing to act as foils and decorations, on this issue, I have never been afraid to use the worst ideas to figure out people.
At this time, my junior brother Su Changsheng, the department that he participated in the formation and possession, should also come in handy.
He and Wuping are bright and dark, plus the line of the soldiers' committee that Tong Hao is in charge of, should be enough to deal with most of the daily situations.
It's just that after such an arrangement, intentionally or unintentionally, it was a mistake with someone who went to Yidu to take up the post.
