Chapter 147: Development Prospects of the Black Earth Port

At nightfall, the migrants who had been placed on the ship the night before were finally able to come ashore for the night, and although the dwelling was only a simple bamboo and wood hut, it was undoubtedly a very rare place for those who had almost despaired of the future of life. The people who escaped the shadow of war have carved out a new home in this out-of-this-world land, and for many of them, the Haihan people who have taken them out of their predicament like divine soldiers descending from heaven are almost equivalent to the existence of saviors. The strength displayed by the Haihan people in these few days also made them not have much resistance to the dominance of these mysterious sea visitors.

Before dark, the migrants were driven back to their huts by the militia, and everyone was restricted from going out. The purpose of this is not only to make it easier to manage, but also to avoid the recurrence of criminal cases. In the whole camp, only a few tents where the traversers lived were lit, and only a few fires were lit in the open space specially set aside in the middle of the sheds.

The joint operational team surveying the road had only returned to the camp before it had completely darkened. If it weren't for Wang Tom and others repeatedly emphasizing that the wilderness after dark is extremely unsafe, Liu Shanxia and his friends in the engineering team would probably have to finish the line survey overnight with flashlights.

Today's dinner is much more hearty than yesterday's, and the fishermen who have moved from Hai Phong fishing village have already started to go to the sea to fish. Ha Long Bay is a place rich in fishery resources, and it has been a no-man's land for almost a long time, and the fish are completely in a natural state, and many big fish can be pulled down casually. In addition, the men and horses that Roger took out to hunt also made small catches, and in just one afternoon, he hunted three sambar deer, more than a dozen golden pheasants and a few rabbits. In accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, the cooking squad made a few chickens to add food to the joint action team that had worked hard in the mountains and forests for a day. A few guys each carried half a chicken in their hands, and they were eating happily.

Gu Kai was the first to solve the battle, and after wiping the corners of his mouth unsatisfied, he cleared his throat and started today's regular meeting: "Everyone went to the field today to see the situation, and if you have any thoughts and opinions, you will talk about them now...... The engineering team will start first, right?"

Liu Shanxia reluctantly put down the chicken paws in his hand, wiped his mouth with a towel, and then said: "Regarding the construction of coal transportation tracks, in fact, when we were at home, our Ministry of Construction has made a construction plan according to the information brought back by the last expedition team. (.)”

After Liu Shanxia finished speaking, he specially gave Qiao Zhiya a thumbs up. After today's communication, he also knew that the last time the expedition team came to survey the site of this section of the road, it was basically Qiao Zhiya, a former engineer, who was playing the main force. Today's survey work can go so smoothly, and it is indeed thanks to Qiao Zhiya and their hard work at that time.

"Is the progress of the project sure?" Gu Kai still asked more.

"Of course there is! When the hydropower station was first built, I gave the executive committee a charter ticket, and it was finally completed on time, right?" Liu Shanxia never forgot to talk about the proud work of the Tianduhe Hydropower Station.

Gu Kai nodded in agreement with his answer, and started the next topic: "We have been here for two days, and the command model of the colonization team should be transformed into a local management model, and I will immediately set up a management committee of the Black Earth Port in accordance with the arrangement of the executive committee." ”

The command model is a management model that the Executive Committee took the lead in adopting when landing at Shengli Port, and the characteristics of this model are that the relevant departments temporarily control the overall situation, for example, the shipping department will command during the voyage, and the various departments will form a temporary command center to coordinate the work during the landing. And after landing, the role of the command will become smaller and smaller, and the storage time will generally not be too long, and Gu Kai's mention is just right.

The candidates for the Black Soil Port Management Committee were basically determined before departure. The general person in charge is Gu Kai, the highest-ranking official here, and will also serve as the chief logistics officer, and the others include Zhou Hengxing, the chief civil affairs officer, Qian Tiandun, the chief military officer, Tian Yeyou, the chief mining officer, and Xie Chun, the chief director of ports and shipping.

Originally, there was also a chief construction officer in charge of local infrastructure projects and future mine development, but Liu Shanxia and his engineering team could only stay here for a month, and then basically had to withdraw to the base camp, because there were more and more important construction projects waiting for them. As a result, this position can only be held by Tian Yeyou, who is in charge of mining development. Fortunately, Liu Shanxia has already expressed his stance that the construction of the three main projects of the camp, the road and the port area can be basically completed in a month, and a small chain workshop of lime kiln and cement kiln will be built here before leaving, so that the black soil port can produce cement, an important building material, locally, and save the trouble of crossing the sea from the base camp. In the future, it is necessary to build a boat-shaped house and repair the fortifications outside the camp, but there is no need to trouble the engineering team, as long as the local laborers are commanded by crossing the crowd.

When it comes to these departments, the military and police are the most relaxed. Under the dual education of these new immigrants in the past few days of continuous brainwashing and forceful means, it has become relatively easy to manage, as long as they pass through the rules and regulations set by the public, they can be implemented relatively smoothly. And the Black Earth Harbor is almost never facing external threats, and there is no man's land within a radius of hundreds of miles, even pirates who rob in the South China Sea would not have thought that there would be such a settlement in such a remote bay. In this way, the pressure on the military and police has been relatively reduced, and even the last expedition team's proposal to "build shore defense artillery fortifications on the mountains on both sides of the harbor access channel" has been postponed indefinitely.

But Qian Tiandun is not such an idle person. Prior to this, Qian Tiandun had been idle in Shengli Port for three months, and since the Executive Committee had decided to use himself this time, Qian Tiandun planned to do something good in Heitu Port. Before his departure, he had already submitted a training plan to the Military Police Department on the trial establishment of the first mountain combat unit in the port of Black Earth.

Qian Tiandun's purpose is still an attempt in the direction of military training, and the Military Police Department will certainly be happy to see it succeed. As for the size of this establishment, it remains to be discussed at the top level, after all, there are only dozens of militiamen sent to Heitu Port, and not a single company can be put together, and it is really difficult to predict how many people will be qualified in the final Qian Tiandun's training results. In the end, the Military Police Department made a decision, and still gave Qian Tiandun a reserve establishment of a "mountain company", and authorized him to freely absorb new blood in Heitu Port, of course, in view of the fact that other departments are currently staring at the military police department's financial budget for the second half of the year, this part of the new blood expenditure has to be solved by itself for the time being, and the military police department is at most to solve the equipment problem at a convenient time.

This way of letting go is both an opportunity and a challenge for Qian Tiandun. If he does a good job, he may open up a new path for the future troop establishment and recruitment of new recruits for the Military Police Department, but if he does not do a good job, he will be stabbed in the end, and the Military Police Department may have to remove him from his current position due to external pressure.

In terms of functional settings, the Executive Committee did not conceive of Heitu Port as a military port from beginning to end, but at most considered the advantages of the local terrain for military defense. But after Qian Tiandun came here, he found that there was actually a world for him to show his strength.

The introduction of immigrants in this place is much easier than that of Shengli Port, and the Executive Committee does not make a clear limit on the number of immigrants to be introduced, which means that as long as there is enough food here to feed the population, the Black Earth Port Management Committee can even reproduce the population size of the later Shijinpu City here. And the large population is the entry point of Qian Tiandun's military concept of Heitu Port.

If it was before the establishment of an internal currency circulation system, Qian Tiandun's plan would definitely not work, because the grain here needs to be imported from outside, and all places can only rely on the material allocation or financial allocation of the Executive Committee, and there is no capital to raise an unplanned army at all. However, now the internal settlement system has begun to be established within the group, which means that Heitu Port, as an independent settlement unit, has the same income-generating capacity as the Yaya Office. Of course, this part of income generation also belongs to the collective, and it is still in the stage of eating a big pot of rice for the individuals, and no matter how much income is generated, it can only be reflected through the annual dividend of guò.

However, the independent settlement unit means that Heitu Port also has the right to dispose of a part of its income, just as the Yazhou Office spends part of its income to recruit people on its own, or establishes a network of contacts through various means, etc. As long as the Executive Committee deems the expenses reasonable, it is not difficult to obtain approval.

However, compared with the Yazhou Office, Heitu Port has an obvious disadvantage, all of the qiē here come from the Crossing Group, and the coal transported back to Shengli Port is not much profitable, and the object of income generation can only be found from the outside, and there is obviously no such stable consumer market as Yazhou nearby. If Qian Tiandun wants to generate income to support an experimental army, then he must first think carefully about how to generate money from this coal-only place.

Qian Tiandun is not very good at doing business, so he has to find someone to discuss. The Executive Committee apparently did not consider developing this place into a commercial port, and did not even send a single person from the Ministry of Commerce. Qian Tiandun thought about it, and finally threw this topic out at the meeting, of course, he did not directly explain that the purpose of generating income was to build an army, which was likely to be directly denied by Gu Kai, a pacifist.
