In addition to these defensive renovation measures, Schneider also plans to renovate the sanitary equipment of the Guangzhou Office, which also comes from He Xi's construction. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

When the office was established, it was tossed for several days because of the bathing problem, and later the problem was solved after installing a small hot water boiler. And the beauty of this boiler has been publicized intentionally or unintentionally, and several large households have placed orders with the Cliff Office to order this convenient small boiler. Although there is no inconvenience caused by women on the side of the Guangzhou Office for the time being, it will definitely gradually increase the number of members in the future, and it is more convenient to install this hot water boiler as soon as possible.

In addition, Schneider also hopes to make the best use of the sanitary ware produced in the base camp. Hainan itself is rich in purple sand mud, kaolin and clay resources, and the exploration team also discovered clay ore in the Tiandu area early. After the brick kiln in the industrial zone was completed and put into operation, the trial production of ceramics was also included in the production project.

At present, there are a few craftsmen who have fired ceramics among the craftsmen collected by the group, but the technical level is very average, and they can make ordinary dishes and cups. But soon someone came up with other ideas, we can't engage in art, and who else can compare to us in daily necessities?

There is no technical difficulty in firing ceramic toilets, this thing has been around for hundreds of years, and it is not a rare thing among the people. The British of this era have just invented the most primitive flush toilet, but it only has the function of flushing, automatic water storage tank and U-shaped drainage elbow these things that seem to be very simple in later generations will not come out until more than a hundred years later, and the crossing group can use its own technical reserves to seize this market.

If the ordinary ceramic toilet is changed to a flush toilet, the technical content will immediately go up, and it is clean and hygienic and durable. Schneider heard this at the time, and thought that this thing would have a market in both the Ming Dynasty and the West, although the construction would be a little troublesome, and it was necessary to dig a pit indoors and bury pipes to connect to the outdoor urinals, but rich people would definitely not care about this little trouble, as long as people who had seen or used the flush toilet would no longer be happy to see the old-fashioned toilet in their bedroom that needed to be cleaned every day.

When Schneider left Shengli Port, the relevant technical department was tackling the manufacturing and sealing process of ceramic pipe fittings, which can not only be used in sanitary ware such as flush toilets, but also one of the important components of the three-acid and two-alkali production line being planned by the chemical department. （.）

If you want to sell these daily bulky items in Daming, you must first install samples at home, so that it is convenient to display and promote goods to the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the future. However, whether it is a boiler or a flush toilet, they must wait for the finished product to be produced by the base camp and then installed by sea, and even the relevant installation technicians need to be sent by the base camp, so the Guangzhou Office can only live according to the lifestyle of the 17th century for a short time.

After getting the station of the Guangzhou Office, Schneider immediately found two shipyards and placed an order for four 400-material ships in one go, but because the shipyard's business was too good, the delivery date of the first ship was scheduled for February next year. Schneider began to inquire about the second-hand market, and finally bought a seventy-percent new Dafu ship a few days later, and hurriedly sent a telegram back to the base camp to inform the executive committee to send someone to Guangzhou to pick up the ship, and by the way, he also transported back some of the materials purchased and the immigrants collected in these days, and of course did not forget to mention the request of the Guangzhou Office to expand its staff.

Schneider is in charge of business activities, and He Xi is engaged in intelligence gathering.

Schneider put forward more specific personnel requirements for the base camp: a person engaged in internal confidential work, that is, sorting out the internal documents of the Guangzhou Office and responsible for the daily work of sending and receiving newspapers; a transport commissioner who is in charge of cargo transportation between Guangzhou and Shengli Port; a person in charge of immigration affairs is responsible for supervising the operation of charities and screening and managing immigrants who are ready to be sent to Shengli Port; a medical staff who mainly provides medical security for the Guangzhou Office and also ensures that there are no carriers of malignant infectious diseases among the migrants who board the ship from Guangzhou; and at least two or more professionally trained security personnel to ensure the daily safety of the Guangzhou Office。 In addition, the GWA also needs several reliable naturalized service personnel who are responsible for daily errands, cargo handling, and so on.

If all these personnel are allocated, then there will be at least a dozen permanent personnel in the Guangzhou Office, and this courtyard will be more popular than it is now, and it will not continue the current situation of two people staring at each other after dinner.

The Executive Committee received news from Guangzhou on 7 September that the first batch of coal-carrying convoys that had returned from Heitu Port a week earlier had arrived at Shengli Port along the way, and that more than 300 tons of coal and more than 40 tons of coke had been brought back, all of which were of excellent quality. The Executive Committee was very satisfied with this and immediately arranged for transportation forces to send these scarce resources to the Tianduo Industrial Zone. The subordinates of the Ministry of Industry, whether it is the metallurgical port or the chemical port, have been looking forward to this batch of fuel for a long time, and they are waiting for the arrival of the fuel to start a big job. Also returning at the same time was Liu Shanxia, the contractor who had slightly improved his condition, and he will undergo a comprehensive examination at the in-house clinic at Base 1 to ensure that the serious illness will not leave any sequelae on his body.

In order to improve the efficiency of coal transshipment, the construction of the rail transport system from Tiandu Industrial Park to Shengli Port also started on the same day as the completion of the Guangzhou Office, and the track with a total length of nearly 10 kilometers will be carried out in two phases, after which steam-powered locomotives will be directly launched.

The track line is basically laid along the previous road passage, so there is no need to redo the survey work, and the roadbed will be completely used by the existing road. This route is basically in accordance with the route of the 224 National Highway in the later generations, the north end ends next to the Tianduhe Hydropower Station, and the south end goes directly to the Shengli Port Integrated Cargo Terminal under construction.

Due to the current steel production is still very limited, it is impossible to use a large amount of steel for the construction of rails, the first phase of the project will not carry out double-track construction, and will be put into operation at the same time to start in the opposite direction, and lay a small section of double-track track in the middle to facilitate the staggering of trains going in opposite directions. The implementation time of the second phase of the project will depend on the speed of steel production and the actual demand for freight traffic between the two places, and a double line will be built next to the first phase of the project to increase the capacity of rail transit between the two places.

In addition to the construction of the track, another project that the Executive Committee has focused on in the near future is the further expansion plan of the salt farm's production capacity. After the disaster in the salt works last month, the timely response and post-disaster treatment of the executive committee did not greatly affect the morale of the people in the salt works, and some of the members who were severely affected by the disaster were even more fortunate in disguise and were allocated new brick houses, which also greatly boosted the morale and labor enthusiasm of the salt works commune. The Executive Committee allocated the vast majority of the more than 200 Vietnamese refugees who had returned with the coal ships to the Yanchang Commune and asked them to further increase their production capacity in the last months of the year, with a view to doubling their current production to more than four tons of salt per day by the end of the year.

The reason why the Executive Committee was so anxious to increase the production of salt was that the demand for salt had suddenly increased recently, and the production capacity of the Salt Works Commune had reached a situation where supply was already in short supply. Although the Salt Works Commune soon recovered to a capacity of more than 60 tons per month, it was still not enough to meet the existing needs.

There are four main reasons for this change. The first is the internal production needs, almost all the production links of the chemical port are inseparable from salt, and with the increase of chemical products, the expansion of production capacity, the demand for salt has also increased sharply. In addition, when many projects were in the research stage of the real room, the daily demand for salt was very small, but now as the project is gradually put into the actual production process, the demand is almost explosive. According to chemical estimates, to meet the needs of in-house chemical production, the monthly salt requirement is at least about 30 to 50 tons, which already accounts for more than half of the existing output. And this demand will increase as the production capacity of the chemical sector increases, and the supply gap of salt will only get bigger.

The second important export direction of salt is Luo Shengdong, an amateur salt dealer who openly smuggles under the banner of a sailor. As he made more and more money, Luo Shengdong's heart became bigger and bigger, and he was no longer satisfied with a small fight of two or three thousand catties at a time. A few days ago, he sent a telegram to the Ya Office, hoping that the supply volume in the future could rise to more than 5,000 catties each time, and he would use cash payment to pick up the goods. As for the frequency of pick-ups, Luo Shengdong hopes to increase it from once or twice a month to once every ten days. With this adjustment, his monthly delivery volume has increased by at least three times compared to the past, and although it is only seven or eight tons, it also accounts for a large share of the current salt production.

The third direction of export is from Vietnam. Although the executive committee plans to wait for the first batch of coal carriers to return to Heitu Port to send a batch of salt to see if it can open up Vietnam's private salt business, the Heitu Port Management Committee has already taken the lead in this project. Prior to this, they had already transported some of the salt from their stockpiles to the east coast of Vietnam, and through the Guò naturalized people, they connected with the local wealthy merchants and exchanged salt for grain, forming a small-scale private salt trade.
