That night, the first ministerial meeting of the founding of the "United States" was held in front of the Executive Committee building, and the main topic of the meeting was how to solve the problem of prisoners.

Yu Sha first reported on the prisoner's unstable mind, and then put forward his views and suggestions.

Beiwei was the first to respond to Yusha's release, "I think it's feasible, the captives have done a good job during this time, and there are still many people who have taken the initiative to join us, so we are now the force that everyone expects." Besides, everyone saw the captives lining up in front of the cauldron to eat. With that kind of food, not to mention the local landlords, even they can't afford to support themselves. I have heard from the local militia recruited by the military team that every winter, about two months later, many people always freeze to death, starve to death, or die of disease. The locals just don't have a channel to defect to us, and they're a little scared of the aura of our head pirates. If the captives can be released back this time, they themselves will be able to tell their relatives and neighbors about their lives here, and then they will advertise for us. Therefore, I think it can be put back, as for the hidden danger of sabotage elements that Comrade Sun Wenbin raised earlier, it naturally exists, and this needs to be grasped by the comrades of the internal security department. ”

Shen Bin nodded and said, "This is natural, every captive who is allowed to go home to visit relatives needs to register with me to record the list, and when they come back, they must compare the quota, and if they are exceeded, they must compare it with the confessions they gave when they were captured, to see if it is the sabotage who has mixed in or is really a relative or friend." You can rest assured on this issue. ”

Sun Wenbin knocked lightly on the table and said, "Then you can vote on this topic by a show of hands, but I want to talk about the important thing that everyone has overlooked - the food issue." He looked around at the ministerial-level cadres sitting behind a few tables on the empty playground, looking so shabby. All the grain we brought by ourselves was eaten on the 3rd of last month, and now all the grain is Champa rice purchased from Champa Port, but fortunately we have brought enough rice mills to ensure the supply of food. At present, our stock of grain is only enough to eat for two months, which is still calculated according to 12 kilograms a month for one person, but at this time, there are very many people who do heavy physical labor, and there are definitely many people who can eat 20 kilograms a month, so the Ministry of Commerce must continue to import grain from Champa Port. My potatoes have been planted for three months, but because the temperature is not good when they first arrived, the potatoes did not germinate at that time, and they were dormant until October 21, when the temperature dropped for three or four days, and when they were ripe, they would not be able to until at least March next year, during which time I had to pray that there would be no long freezing to avoid being frozen. ”

"We're in the tropics!" Someone is talking about it below.

"Yes, we are indeed in the tropics, but when we first arrived here, we were completely unaware of the hydroclimatic disasters of this world, so we could only explore them little by little. This period in history was still the Xiaoice River period, and it snowed in Hainan, so it is not surprising that it snows here. So we can't just keep our eyes on the potatoes of the COAG. ”

Gu Qingqian hurriedly asked, "So your suggestion is that we continue to purchase grain in large quantities?" ”

"Yes, that's all I can give right now."

"That's good," Gu Qingqian turned her face to Zhang Yuan, "when will your Ministry of Industry be able to provide a large amount of finished cotton cloth?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan looked stunned, and for some reason the ball suddenly kicked at his feet. "Isn't the finished cotton cloth from the Ministry of Light Industry? I'm a heavy industry design shop. ”

"Well, who is from the Ministry of Light Industry?" Gu Qingqian turned her head and looked at it helplessly, Shibei should be impressed for three days, this American department is now springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and you may be able to step on the heel of a minister with one step.

A girl across from Zhang Yuan stood up and replied weakly, "I am." ”

Gu Qingqian hurriedly looked over and couldn't help but be taken aback, the person who can become a minister at this stage of creation will undoubtedly be the founder of the future department, and it is not easy for a woman to become a minister. She looked at it, it was a long-haired girl with a round face and a pointed chin, unlike ordinary girls in old time and space, who couldn't wait to be skinny and skinny, with a plump body that reflected a kind of healthy beauty, with long hair, big eyes, red lips, high lips, and a lovely nose. As soon as the girl stood up, a group of male elders who had not noticed it turned their heads around.

"My name is Yang Canling, and someone in my family used to work in a textile factory, and I was entrusted with the supervision of the textile industry of the Ministry of Light Industry." Yang Canling's voice made the saliva of all the male elders drip down. She is a minister who was driven to the shelves, Du Yande went through all the files of the veterans, none of them worked in the textile industry, Yang Canling, a girl in the 80s, because her sister had worked in the textile factory for a while, she would occasionally go to the textile factory to find her sister, and if she met her sister who was too busy, she would help out...... So she was appointed head of the textile department of the Ministry of Light Industry......

"The equipment in the textile mill is still being installed, and it may take ten days to debug something, which is what Minister Zhang said." As she spoke, she stretched out her palm and pointed upwards at Zhang Yuan, who was drooling on the side, and the latter quickly wiped her saliva and showed that she was listening carefully. "As far as I know, a ton of cotton can spin 750 kilograms to 900 kilograms of cotton cloth, depending on whether it is combed or carded fabric, according to the width of 1.5 meters is about two kilometers of fabric, I am not familiar with other fabrics, but at least within this range. There are 10 worsted spinning machines and 10 looms in our factory, and theoretically the daily output is 15 tons of cotton thread, which can weave 500 pieces of cloth according to 60 meters of cloth. However, this is calculated according to the full load of three shifts, and raw hands, accidents, and failures may slow down this speed. ”

Gu Qingqian nodded, and habitually shook the hair tied behind her head, "Our Ministry of Trade has no way to get funds from the Ministry of Finance now, and the silver brought has been all purchased for grain and production raw materials, and when I went to Champong Port again on October 29 to buy this batch of cotton, it was almost on credit." If it weren't for Wenqing's cool oil that could provide us with 3,000 taels of silver every month, it is estimated that these cotton would not be able to be shipped back. She looked down at the information in her hand, "I paid special attention to the price information of Champa Port during this transaction, for the time being, our cooling oil is the most expensive, and the small bag of about five grams is basically one or two dollars of silver." The second is cotton cloth, the price of a 33-meter cotton cloth is twenty taels of silver, according to this calculation, the price of a piece of cloth for our 60 meters should be the price of thirty-eight taels to forty taels, but as a large-scale sell-off, we can only use a lower price to wholesale to the dealers below, the price may be twenty-five to twenty-eight taels. ”

"Why are you going to give it out so cheaply? We can also provide it to An Yun to sell to the interior of Vietnam. Sun Wenbin was a little depressed, this is too worthless.

"I want to too, but now you look at whether it is Annan or the Wu Dynasty, the road conditions on the official road are like this, do you think the logistics here can run? If it is one or two pieces of cloth can still be transported, twenty horses a day, our factory can produce five hundred horses a day, such a large-scale production capacity must keep up with the sales capacity, I think it is necessary to go to Guangzhou recently to try to sell these cotton cloth, to see if the Huangshi line is still running. Gu Qingqian couldn't help but turn her head to look at the five-masted ship illuminated by the searchlight in the direction of the port.

"I think this time I went to Guangzhou...... Bah, you should be Earth, right? Du Yande hurriedly corrected his mistaken statement by Gu Qingqian, "If you go to Mingzhou, the navy's cruisers and destroyers are not suitable for dispatch. ”

During this time, the 8154 fishing boat not only served as a fishing boat, but also carried out a certain scale of patrol in the nearby waters, and was nicknamed a cruiser. At this time, because of its fast speed and light hull, the former anti-smuggling boat has been repeatedly urgently mobilized to expel the "curious ships" that are too close to the port, so it is nicknamed a destroyer.

Bu Zhongfu almost jumped up, "How can our navy not escort it?" What if you encounter pirates halfway through? It took a lot of effort to get this five-masted ship! ”

"Don't you have a new sailboat?" Du Yande asked.

At this time, Bu Zhongfu suddenly remembered that the medium-sized Fu ship that had been captured had been repaired at this time, and the sail rigging on it was almost all complete, and Yang Junbo even changed the rudder rod above to the legendary steering wheel, so that the operation was closer to the habit of traversing the public, and also modified the power part of the ship, added a power cabin, installed a modified single-cylinder diesel engine, and drove a retractable external propeller. At this time, even if the boat is running fast, it is only the speed of ** knots, and this speed is already invincible. The ship not only arranged a squad of crossers, but also arranged some former pirate naturalized citizens. These former pirates trained the sailers to sail a sailboat while training them to sail a sailboat.

"Don't go off-topic, okay?" Gu Qingqian looked helplessly at these ministers and executive committee members who went off topic and ran to Java when they had nothing to do. "Now the price of grain in Champong Port is nine dollars of silver and one stone, but the price before we purchased it was six pieces of silver. It can be seen that the large amount of our purchases has had a great impact on them, and it is foreseeable that this price will break through one or two stones. "She didn't know whether it was sixteen dollars or a tael or ten dollars and a tael at this time, so she simply threw out one or two units first." If we don't get enough silver this time, I'm afraid we will have to go through the princess's relationship to buy food and raw materials on credit, we have advanced production technology and technology, and we have to buy production materials on credit, isn't it too embarrassing? ”
