Chapter 338: Stone's Words
readx;??? Chen Xiaomao is the head of the family, of course, he does not need to stand at the counter by himself, and now he actually does not have much counter to stand, although the Chinese have money and ability, but all of them are stingy, at the moment each shop is only ten feet long and ten feet wide, after putting the counter, there is not enough place, now if you really put two hundred eggs here, you can block how many people in the shop can stand, let alone provide poultry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Fortunately, I have signed a contract with the Committee of Agriculture, and I only need to let the customers in his village go to the nearby village to collect eggs and chickens, and when I send them, I only need to send them directly to the Committee of Agriculture, and I don't need to send them to the shop first and then be picked up by the Committee of Agriculture, otherwise it is not a matter to make my shop stink.
If his shop was in the old time and space, it should be called a leather bag company, purely according to the amount of customers to the village to buy goods, you must know that although An Yun is not big, but there are so many good luck in nine villages and eighteen villages, and there are really a lot of chickens. During this period of time, Oriental Port has purchased poultry eggs with great fanfare, which has stimulated the enthusiasm of local aborigines to raise poultry to a certain extent. The Chen family Zhuangzi alone now gathers all the chickens, waiting to hatch the chicks, anyway, as long as the chicks do not die after they come out of the shell, they can start laying eggs within half a year. It's not that the natives of Anyun don't know how to raise chickens, but they can't find sales channels after raising chickens, and at this time, an almost "egg black hole" suddenly appeared in Dongfang Port, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the natives to raise chickens.
Originally, the Committee of Agriculture also wanted to stimulate local livestock breeding by means of high-priced purchases, but the breeding of livestock is a troublesome matter, not to mention that the environment in which the indigenous people raise livestock is basically extremely harsh, lice and bed bugs are only appetizers, and tapeworms and other diseases are common. As you can imagine, the Committee of Agriculture is ready to open its own livestock farms first, and then to provide health education after the occupation of the entire territory of Anyun, and only after the health education is widespread can it start to open up livestock breeding to the indigenous environment.
Miro made two turns around the farmer's market, and the scale of this market was not even as good as that of an ordinary third-tier town in the old time and space. But in this time and space, compared with the aborigines can come into contact with the market, it is many times larger, and it is open every day, as long as you bring agricultural products, you will almost be able to exchange it for money, and then buy all kinds of supplies you want in the dazzling business area, which is much more convenient than the market. Moreover, the best thing is that now there are bus ox carts on the main roads in Anyun, which drive from morning to nightfall, which is convenient for travel, and when you arrive at Dongfang Port, you can also transfer trains to Yancun Industrial Zone and Beiqiaotou Town, and the natives who work in those places have also begun to learn to transfer buses to work at this time. Now the Oriental Port is thriving, and the vicinity of the business area is full of people.
Suddenly, Miro felt someone tap on the shoulder, and suddenly looked back and saw that it was Stone, and couldn't help but nod a little stunned, "Colonel Stone, why are you?" ā
Ston smiled and pouted at a tea table a little farther away, "Let's go, go sit over there?" Miro looked nervously left and right, no one was paying attention to him at all, you must know that now there are more and more Maidno people in the Oriental Port, such foreign faces are still a little attractive at first, but now they are completely uninterested in the natives, it is better to pay attention to the business in front of them.
The two walked to the tea table and sat down, and the owner of the tea stall came over, put a pot of tea, and put a plate of peanuts on the table, and then went to busy himself.
The enemy is not the enemy, and the enemy is not the enemy, and the school fights the month and the hatred is the reason
"Colonel Stone, how can you move freely in their territory?" Miro expressed surprise at Stone's presence at this time, and at the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he also glanced at Ma Dong and the little policeman who were still drinking potato soup in the distance, and the two of them obviously glanced this way, but did not pay any special attention to themselves.
"Of course you can act at will, I'm not a prisoner, I'm a naval officer." Ston smiled and patted his white uniform, "I'm a lieutenant in the Senate now, and I have the right to move freely." ā
"But you're from Medenor?" Miro took a closer look at the crisp navy uniform on Stone. The navy uniform is made of cotton, imitating the dress of the American Navy in the old time and space, and the belt is tied to an armed belt with a sword on it. "They don't even give you a pistol."
Ston laughed again, "This is not surprising, you must know that in non-war times, no soldier can wear a firearm and go out when he is not on duty. This is true not only of us officers, but even of the veterans. As he spoke, he skillfully picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.
Miro couldn't help but laugh, "How long has it been?" You can already use their chopsticks to pick peanuts? As he spoke, he also took out two chopsticks from the chopstick cage and tried to pick peanuts crookedly. However, after a while of twisting, he finally realized that it was impossible to use chopsticks to exercise his right brain in such a way of eating, and before he began to feel twisted, he had managed to knock more than a dozen peanuts on the table.
"You better pinch with your fingers, chopsticks are not something that can be learned in a minute or two." Ston smiled, "Do you know this thing?" He asked, pointing to Peanut.
Miro looked closely at the small red grain and shook his head.
"It's called a peanut, and the patriarchs say it's grown in the Americas, but they don't tell me where the Americas are. Do you know? The things they say about the Americas are really amazing, peanuts, corn, potatoes, these things are all produced in that place called America, and they all taste wonderful, especially when chatting, peanuts are simply the best pastime. Ston then picked up another peanut and threw it into his mouth as if to show off.
"Isn't this thing amazing?" Miro asked with some curiosity. Ston nodded solemnly, "That's right, it's amazing, peanuts, like potatoes, are dug directly from the soil, and the yield is very high, even far better than corn, rice and wheat." ā
"That's wonderful," Miro nodded, "how did you join them?" ā
"Them?" Ston smiled, "We attacked Orient Harbor, lost, and then were captured, and joined them in order to survive. ā
"Then why don't you run away? Now that there are Medenor's ships in their harbor every day, you can escape from Vostok-Harbor by escaping any of them! Miro was full of curiosity about this question, "Even if you are in the port, it is not that you have no chance to escape, are you here to ......" Miro said and looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he asked quietly, "Are you staying here to spy on more information about the Senate?" ā
"I'm not that noble," Ston smiled and shook his head, "I can't go back, I'm destined not to go back." As the commander-in-chief of the first squadron of the naval warfleet and the captain of the Overlord, not only did I lose the Overlord, but even the entire fleet fell in Vostok Harbor, can I go back? For us Medeno people, the ship is life, and it would be a remiss for me not to sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship. Even if I am willing to flee back, what awaits me will be trial and execution. Comparatively, I'm not as reliable as a naval officer here. ā
"You mean you're determined to join this enemy army?" Miro didn't understand what Ston was trying to say, and Ston smiled again, "Do you think they think they're an enemy of me?" At the same time, he gestured to the entire farmer's market to show Miro, "Yes, they call us naturalized aliens, but they don't treat us as outsiders in the slightest. ā
Saying that, Ston took a few peanuts again and threw them into his mouth, "You should be clear about the espionage incident some time ago, right?" Myromer nodded silently, and Ston smiled, "Of course you know, those people were all arrested, and all of them confessed that night, and the counterintelligence department of the Senate led the police to arrest all the suspected spies one by one according to the names on the roster, but those of us who were not involved in the espionage incident were not affected in the slightest, and continued to do what we had to do." If it were me, I would arrest all the Medeno, or at least isolate them, so that they would not have access to the technical and tactical materials of the Senate again. ā
"But you're not sure it's not a means used by the Senate to divide the Medeno themselves." As soon as Myro finished speaking, Ston nodded, "I thought so at first, but I soon discovered a new problem, none of the Medenor people in the army participated in the espionage incident. ā
"How do you know? Do you have a roster? Miro's heart jumped, the roster is very important, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, he can arrest people according to the map. But Ston shook his head, "How can I possibly have a roster?" I'm not involved in that kind of thing. I just could feel that none of the Medenor sailors were willing to take part in the opposition to the Senate. ā
"Why?" Miro was stunned, "Could it be that they have all been brainwashed?" ā
"No, it's because they feel like they're living like a human being." "I didn't think it at first, until I heard that we were in Five Star Square on the night of our attack on Orient Harbor," he said, pointing to the southeast, "and over there, the gunners who landed on the shore killed a squad of Army soldiers in a shotgun fire, but their foreman was the first to die in the battle. ā
"Patriarch? Seriously injured? ā
The land is far away, and the school is cold
"That's right, it was a serious injury, there were more than ten wounds all over the body, and in such a situation, there was even a person carrying a rifle that approached a distance of ten meters, and finally killed several sailors, so that the artillery could not be fired a second time. By the way......" Ston said, pulling out a silver coin from his pocket, "this is a commemorative coin issued to commemorate the heroic deeds of the patriarch and the infantry squad, I know you like to collect this thing, so I left it for you." ā
Miro took the coin with a little trembling hand, he trembled not to get another coin, but to the thing behind the coin - an old man who was almost killed in battle? He now knew very well that the senators were at the absolute level of nobles and senators among the Medeno, and in Medenor's fleet and marines, nobles and senators were absolutely not required to participate in the battle, and they could even let their men die for themselves when the enemy was near, so as to facilitate their escape. What kind of heroic act is it for a patriarch to approach to a distance of ten meters in the face of artillery fire and the threat of death in battle, and he is stunned to hit a cannon that cannot be fired? "You heard me right?" Miro asked, somewhat incredulous.
"I'm sure I heard it right, this veteran and my Captain Tang in charge of training are good friends, I have met him a few times, and I have also seen his injuries, it is absolutely fake."
Miro now somewhat understood why the soldiers at the bottom of Medeno were reluctant to betray the Senate, but Ston was still talking to himself, "In the army of the Senate, there is no superior to dispose of soldiers at will, let alone the death penalty that will appear casually, soldiers can ask officers if they have questions, and soldiers can also respond directly to the officers if they have good ideas, and if it is advantageous, they can also get rewards, and I have several old fur seals under my command who have been rewarded." The patriarchs knew how to buy people's hearts and minds, and they also knew how to respect these soldiers. Do you know? Now there are no longer hanging bunks in the cabins, but bunk and triple beds are used, almost every sailor has his own bed, and the officers basically have their own cabins, which was absolutely impossible before. Also, now the food eaten by officers and soldiers is basically the same, there is almost no difference between them, even a senator, and a sail sailor, eat almost the same every day, is this possible in our fleet? ā
"Although I am only a lieutenant now, I can see that the Senate is developing at full strength, and in time it will be on the sea. Even now, they are already invincible in the world, I advise you, if you are coming with hostility towards Dongfang Port, it is better to give up the hostility, otherwise all the people in the entire Dongfang Port will become your enemies, including me. "Your dad is my best friend, and I used to rush to your dad's ship as fast as I could when I heard about the riots, but I still didn't have time to get him out. If one day we have to fight each other as enemies, I will try to spare you a life, but this is the biggest concession I can make. Ston took out another bill from his pocket and put it on the table, "Boss, check out." With that, he saluted Miro with a senate salute and left.
