Chapter 151: Wang Zhi persuades Xiao Qiangzhi
With the harvest, Zifeng returned to the mainland.
The common people have rarely seen a whale, so when its huge skeleton is presented in front of them, they can't help but marvel.
Wang Zhi pinched his nose while marveling at the behemoth, and finally said: "Build a shed, put this big guy in it, let's also build an ocean museum, and after the strengthened glass of the research institute is successful, we will build an underwater one." ”
Everyone praised it, so the people hadn't seen the enjoyable skeleton, so it was 'hidden'.
Subsequently, the military began to take whale meat divided into pieces and exchange them for rice and other grains from house to house, basically one fish meat for two rice, and the people were very happy.
In addition to being exchanged for easy-to-store grain, the remainder was sent to the canneries to be made into sweet and salty cans for military supplies.
Whales are full of treasures, there is no doubt about this, Zifeng and they all know it.
Whale meat accounts for about half of a whale's body weight, has high nutritional value, and tastes better than beef.
Blublem can be used to make candles and pigments.
It is also used in the steelmaking and tanning industries, because whale oil does not change its viscosity at high temperatures, so it is used as a lubricant for certain precision instruments.
Cetywax oil can be used both to make cosmetics and to be processed into candles.
Whale skin is soft and has fluff on the surface, making it suitable for clothing or leather bags.
Baleen and whale teeth can be processed into medical devices or handicrafts.
Whale fins can be used as umbrella surfaces and matchboxes.
There is also a particularly valuable part, and that is ambergris.
In layman's terms, it is the feces of whales, which are secreted after swallowing cuttlefish, which will emit a fishy smell in the water, and become a fragrance after drying.
This substance is processed and added to perfumes, which is the best of perfumes.
It took a group of people several days to clean up the whales, which were full of treasures.
At the end of August, Zifeng took the transport fleet south to rescue the refugees, and the operation was officially launched.
"Commissioner, is this a big step?"
In Glory Town, in the small meeting room of the town government, Xiao Qiangzhi looked worried.
"People are forced out, if you don't do it, how do you know it won't work?" Wang Zhi looked indifferent, as if he was confident.
"This is not the palm-sized place in the mainland, this is the vast Xingnan Road, where the people of the ten tribes once lived together, do you think it can be completed before the people of the same color are fully launched?"
Xiao Qiangzhi has anger, and he doesn't have too many scruples to speak.
"I still say the same thing, if you do it, everything is possible, if you don't do it, everything is empty. ”
"I understand this, but it's not omnipotent, we have to respect the facts. ”
Wang Zhi sighed, pointed to the map on the wall and said to Xiao Qiangzhi, who was a little impatient: "Commander Xiao, according to our previous plan, as the search and rescue progresses, the main road connecting the north and south will also be formed, and we can afford this construction, can't we?"
Xiao Qiangzhi glanced at the map and agreed.
"Xingnan Road is not small, but don't forget one thing, the people here have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is not an undeveloped wild land, so there is no such thing as wilderness. ”
Xiao Qiangzhi did not answer.
"Although it is a bit reckless to take a two-pronged approach and bloom more, we have enough labor to support the construction, otherwise why would we be raising those refugees for nothing?"
Wang Zhi's sentence is naked, but Xiao Qiangzhi can understand, but he can't forgive.
"Isn't it fair that the people who survive the quarantine period are the available labor for infrastructure construction, and they work hard to earn a chance to live?"
Xiao Qiangzhi just turned his head, looked at the darkening night, and sighed.
"You don't have to be burdened in your heart, no one wants the epidemic to destroy Xingnan Dao, but what can we do now? It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of this militarized management to mobilize all forces and build this place once and for all in two years. In this way, the people no longer have to worry about infection, and their activities are no longer restricted, and it is a time for recuperation. I believe that in ten or twenty years, this place will be full of vitality again. ”
Wang Zhi's words were full of temptation.
Xiao Qiangzhi is just a soldier, maybe some thoughts are mixed with it, but whose heart is pure?
His cognition, the thought he received, is for His Majesty, for auspiciousness, to protect the family and defend the country, Your Majesty will have a home here, and if you have a home, you will have a country.
Originally, he only planned to build a north-south road, but he never thought that Wang Zhi would temporarily change his hexagram and add at least six more first-class roads running east-west, and the source of labor was all refugees who had suffered a lot, and his heart was refusing.
But Wang Zhi is at least right about one thing, refugees rely on their strength to eat, and the government gives refugees a mouthful of food with work-for-relief, who is wrong?
No one is wrong, what they do is inherent thinking, covering the vision of the overall situation.
Wang Zhi kept staring at Xiao Qiangzhi's eyes, he needed to know the other party's true attitude.
"Once a war starts with the Semu people, it is not a day or two to be able to distinguish the winner or loser, the strength of the Semu people is far from comparable to that of Great Xia and Hu Yue, we have to be prepared for long-term planning.
At that time, the Xingyao Continent will be shrouded in the shadow of war, and the only one who can provide support is Xingnan Dao, which is out of the way.
This is the auspicious blood bank, and it is the auspicious reliance.
Think about it, there is still a large part of the land that cannot be cultivated, a large number of people have disappeared, and the originally peaceful and peaceful land is full of corpses, what can we do to feed so many landless people, and what can we use to support the kingdom itself?"
"But, that's not a reason to be so impatient. ”
Xiao Qiangzhi finally opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi also had joy on his face, and then said: "Every time a place is built, the people in this place will immediately benefit, restore the order of production and life, and provide the kingdom with the necessary resources, which is to reduce the burden on us."
If each refugee is allowed to choose freely after isolation, the north of the wall will soon be overcrowded.
We need to quickly establish order, and we need the people to quickly put themselves into productive labor.
It's like a snowball, it's only going to increase at a double rate.
At the beginning, the combined fleet gave us a taste of what it means to be a good woman and cook without rice, so when it comes to wartime, we lack everything, even the most inconspicuous stones, and we are running out of time!"
Xiao Qiangzhi is a soldier, and his feelings in this regard are far greater than Wang Zhi's.
In terms of playing tricks, he can't compare with a dozen of them.
What people say is reasonable, and it goes deep into his heart.
The sky and the earth are big, the auspicious king is the biggest, and then the people of the country are the greatest.
Everything that involves King Jixiang is not a trivial matter.
As a soldier of the kingdom, it is his duty to defend the territory, and on top of this, if he can make the situation of the kingdom better, he will be happy.
Wang Zhi's words at first were more like a sharp sword, splitting the fig leaf of hypocrites, presenting the shamelessness and meanness of politicians naked in front of him, he was like eating delicious ice cream, but in the end he found that the stick was actually a blood-stained bone, and he wanted to vomit disgustingly.
