When the "Feisu" sailed out of the narrow channel and returned to Sanya Bay, it happened to see Luo Shengdong sailing through the Luhuitou Peninsula on the small Guangzhou boat, heading far to the northwest. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) "Feisu" does not mean to catch up, between here and Yazhou, there are three more populated towns of Phoenix, Tianya and Nanshan waiting for the action team to investigate.

The information about these three towns that the traversal has is mainly from the descriptions of the father and son of the local leading party. The first stop is Phoenix Town, which is close to the Phoenix International Airport in Sanya, as long as you have crossed the people who have come to Sanya, most of them have passed by here, and this time they came from the sea by sailboat, and they felt a strange feeling of revisiting the old place in their hearts. But after stopping the boat and walking ashore to reach the destination, the traversers could not hide their disappointment at what they saw.

The town is located on the riverside of the upper reaches of the Sanya River, there are only fifty or sixty households in the whole town, most of the houses are low-level configurations of loess walls and thatched roofs, and even a brick house can not be found at a glance, only a few two or three houses with better conditions to live in tile houses, it is estimated that it is already a "big family" in the town, but if you want to divide the class, it is at most a homesteaders, and even the landlords are not qualified. Most of the residents here are farmers who have cultivated land in the vicinity, and when the people outside saw such a group of people in strange costumes suddenly coming, most of them immediately ran home and closed their doors and hid. Only a few "well-informed people" who knew that a group of short-haired Han people had come to Yulin dared to continue watching the excitement on the side of the road without hurrying.

There are almost no commercial facilities in the town, and everyone doesn't even see a restaurant after a turn, and the only thing that sells is a small grocery store in the west of the town, which usually sells some daily consumer goods such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads. However, the grocery store is not open today, according to the idlers who watched the excitement next to him, He Laosan, who opened the shop, went to Yazhou to buy goods, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until tomorrow. As for the functional units such as education, medical care, and public security, there is nothing here, and children have to go to Yazhou if they want to study, and adults have to go to Yazhou. If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, then the only way to send people to the Yazhou garrison for help is to organize a militia group.

After visiting the crowd, there is a general feeling that it is more accurate to call it a village than a town. Yu Dashan said that the permanent population here is only a few dozen households, with a total of only three or four hundred people. There are still some small villages around, but none of them are concentrated here in Phoenix Town. A few old fishermen who came out of the fishing village to recruit workers have long been here to move, and now there are thirty or forty Ming people who are working on the territory of the people, but there are thirty or forty people who have passed from Phoenix Town.

In such a small place, there is not even an official administrative body, and the officials of Yazhou only appear in Fenghuang Town when taxes are levied or labor is levied every year. Yan Chujie asked the locals to lead the way, found two of the elders, and said that he was just here to recruit workers, and there was no malice, and after explaining the intention, he also gave the elders five taels of silver each, and asked them to recruit workers locally.

This money offensive is really easy to use no matter which dynasty or generation, and after seeing the silver, the elder who was still a little cowering immediately patted his chest and would try his best to help recruit workers. Of course, the action team did not forget to take out the latest policies issued by the executive committee for publicity, and when the elders heard that anyone who went to work could send their children to the school run by the Haihan masters to study and write, and that they could also get land after a long time, they were immediately excited.

After coming out of the town, Schneider, who was in charge of finance, pulled Yan Chujie aside: "Old Yan, even if the people here are busy working for a year, they may not be able to get a few taels of silver, is your move just now a little too generous?"

Of course, Yan Chujie would not accept this softness, and immediately retorted: "It's not that you weren't there, didn't you see the reaction of those two old men when they saw the silver just now? ”

Schneider said with a straight face: "Old Yan, I heard that you were engaged in political work before the crossing, why doesn't this consciousness seem to be very high, hasn't the country always been based on spiritual encouragement?"

"Ideological work must be done, economic stimulus must also be available, and the two-pronged effect is good. Yan Chujie responded, suddenly noticed something, and said in a changed tone: "I said Lao Shi...... Wow! This is awkward...... I said Xiao Shi, do you have any problem with our division of labor?"

"I don't have an opinion on the division of labor, I just think Lao Yan, are you a little out of the scope of authority, at the meeting before departure, it was said that I would take the idea of financial issues outside the procurement list, and others only had the right to build. It's only been two or three hours since this came out, and you've started to take my place. Now that Yan Chujie noticed it, Schneider no longer concealed his true intentions, and said his thoughts as he was.

Yan Chujie smiled dumbly, patted Schneider on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you are the big housekeeper, I admit my mistake, and I must ask for your consent first for future expenses." ”

Schneider said seriously: "Old Yan, this is not a joke. You are an expert in military affairs, and if I intervene in command during a war, will you rest assured? I have examined the accounts for so many years, and the source of the problems of companies that have economic problems is often very small. Whether it is military or financial, if the system does not stick, it is meaningless. ”

Yan Chujie also put away his smile when he heard him say strictly, nodded and said, "You are right, you really can't meddle in work in different fields. The financial system we insist on at home must continue to be maintained. Later, I will also remind others that they must report the possible financial expenses to you first. ”

The establishment of a sound financial system has always been a matter that the Executive Committee has repeatedly emphasized, which is the basis for the issuance of currency in the ruling area in the future, and is also an important condition for the development of foreign trade and even the smooth operation of overseas branches in the future. Among the more than 400 people, there are quite a few university graduates in economics, but in terms of practical work experience, no one can compare with Schneider, an international financial fraudster with great powers.

Schneider has worked as a stockbroker, tax audit, accounting, foreign trade and other work before crossing, and has engaged in smuggling and financial fraud, so it can be said that in the field of financial accounting, he can be regarded as an expert in black and white. In the process of raising funds for the Executive Committee before the crossing, Schneider also fully demonstrated his personal ability and reliability, so although he joined the team late, he still occupied a place in the Executive Committee, where every inch of land is at a premium. In the future, there will be functional departments such as accounting, auditing, and banking under the Ministry of Finance, all of which will rely on Schneider's expertise, and he will certainly be one of the most powerful members of the Executive Committee in the future.

After sailing seven or eight nautical miles west along the coast, the "Feisu" arrived at Tianya Town, the second stop of the expedition. Unlike Phoenix Town, Tianya Town is located by the sea and is said to have developed from a fishing village. The number of residents in this town is more than double that of Phoenix Town, and there are several "big households" with blue brick houses and courtyards. According to Yu Dashan, these families are serious landlords, each of whom owns hundreds or thousands of acres of arable land in the nearby inland plains, and a considerable number of the town's residents are tenant farmers who rent these lands.

There are two fur shops in the town, mainly for the nearby Li people, who will regularly go out to the mountains to bring their cowhides, pig skins, animal skins and other goods here in exchange for the necessary grain, salt, iron and so on. In addition, there is a small pharmacy, and there is a lame man who sits here all the year round to see a doctor. But as in Phoenix, there are still no educational institutions and policing in the town.

When the crowd arrived, a gong was quickly sounded to warn them, and then more than 20 militia members rushed out with guns and sticks, apparently thinking that they were pirates who had come ashore to plunder. Fortunately, I brought two locals, and after some explanation, the people who led the militia believed their statement, because recently fishermen from the direction of Yulin came here to mention the matter of recruiting workers. However, most of the local residents are tenant farmers with relatively stable lives, so this kind of verbal recruitment of non-professionals does not have much effect.

Perhaps out of some scruples, several of the large families in charge of social affairs here have rejected the task force's request to see them. The team didn't stay here for long, and returned to the ship one after another. Tom Wang counted the time, then turned around and walked south, and intercepted a small boat near West Tortoiseshell Island in Sanya Bay. The two boatmen disembarked at West Tortoiseshell Island and had a friendly luncheon.

Luo Shengdong also had the courage to sit in the middle of the traversal, and after a long period of contact, he knew that these Haihan people were not barbaric, on the contrary, they were very reasonable, as long as they were not enemies, they were actually objects that could be coexisted with with confidence. Sure enough, Yan Chujie and the others did not reject Luo Shengdong's initiative to show goodwill, and Qiao Zhiya even gave Luo Shengdong a portion of the grilled seafood, which made him thank him again and again.

Yan Chujie took the opportunity to tell what he and his party had just seen and heard when they went ashore, Luo Shengdong was really thoughtful, and immediately understood the sound outside the strings, and poured out what he knew about the situation in these towns. He has been patrolling the front line from Yazhou Water Village to Sanya Yulin Bay for a long time, and his understanding of these near-shore towns is naturally much better than that of his father and son. After listening to his introduction, the people present had a much more detailed understanding of the people in these places.
