As the first generation of builders who personally experienced the rise of the Red River Valley from scratch, Wu Xuewen once participated in the construction of the Red River Valley Reservoir, and clearly knew how the Earl of Queensland drew a wonderful construction chapter on the vast land of poverty and whiteness.

Today's beautiful immigrant city that shines in Australia was not as good as today's Port Moresby when it was first built, and it was a majestic city built on a wasteland.

With the generous promise of the Earl's support, Wu Xuewen was confident that he would replicate the success of the Red River Valley, but the only thing that worried him was that Shangri-La lacked a pillar industry to support the development of the entire city.

The Earl had made a wise judgment; No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth.

Wu Xuewen thought so, and was ready to practice in the hot land of Shangri-La, but the problem now is that ~ for the time being, there is no industry that can support the backbone of Shangri-La's industry.

The rise of the Red River Valley has wool, gold, iron ore and coking coal, all of which Shangri-La does not have.

Shangri-La Island is located on the equator line, is a typical tropical rainforest climate and subtropical marine climate, although the area is vast, but there are many mountains and rivers, the inland snow-capped mountains and mountains traverse, there are 4 ice peaks near the equator, Chaya Peak is 5030 meters above sea level, is the highest peak on the island.

Moreover, there are many volcanoes, frequent earthquakes, congenital conditions are not suitable for the development of large-scale animal husbandry, pigs and cattle can be raised, sheep and goats are not suitable, the climate is too hot and humid.

The northern part of the island has large areas of lowlands, marshes and plains, suitable for agriculture, and it is impossible to know whether it is rich in mineral resources due to the lack of systematic exploration resources.

Therefore, Wu Xuewen can only focus on the existing conditions, temporarily focus on the development of farms and fishing industries, and operate the port transit trade, and first gain a firm foothold and lay a good foundation.

"Commander-in-chief, the urgent report just sent by the grazing team has killed 6 cattle and 41 sheep today, and now everyone doesn't know what to do, so they are so anxious that they jump to their feet."

The young man who came to report was Wu Xuewen's secretary Liu Bao, a young man who graduated from Red River Valley University and was the first graduate of Red River Valley University.

In accordance with the setup of the Secretariat;

There are only 9 people who can contact the Earl and report in person, and they are called "Hongmen Nine Wolves" by the outside world, and the internal title is the first-level secretary, commonly known as the "big secretary".

There are many affairs in the various departments of the Red River Valley, and the Secretariat is the central nervous system that gathers a lot of information, and it has to deal with many affairs every day, and select the most important of them to report to the Earl.

Therefore, each secretary has a secretarial team to deal with affairs, with more than ten people and as few as five or six people.

Depending on the qualifications, they are Second Secretary, Third Secretary and Probationary Secretary.

After each secretary is released to an important position, he will habitually take away a few secretaries in order to get familiar with and enter the working state as soon as possible.

generally speaking

The second secretary with rich work experience cannot be taken away, because after the secretary is gone, the second secretary will have the opportunity to fill the vacancy, so that he will become an important figure in the secretariat and manage the specific work in a certain aspect.

Therefore, the secretary took away all the third-class secretaries and trainee secretaries, and his own henchmen.

Liu Bao was Wu Xuewen's original apprentice secretary, and when he came to Shangri-La Island to work, Wu Xuewen brought Liu Bao with him and used it as a personal secretary, which shows that he attaches great importance to him.

Listened to the debriefing

Wu Xuewen paced back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, which was very similar to the actions of Lord Earl when he was thinking, and said after thinking about it; "Liu Bao, you inform the carpentry construction team to find a well-ventilated open space near the stream, rebuild the livestock shed, and let the animal husbandry team move all the cattle over and settle them alone.

"Commander-in-chief, what about the sheep?"

"The sheep seem to have no choice, every day they pick out the slaughter of bad spirits and provide them to the construction army for consumption, and they have to hurry up to slaughter and divide the sick cattle, these beef can't be wasted."

"Commander-in-chief, can a sick cow eat it? What should I do if I have a problem eating? Liu Bao looked a little worried.

"Liu Bao, are you stupid, the beef is slaughtered and cooked into small pieces, it has already been sterilized at high temperatures, don't those white people keep calling us to abuse them, get some for them to eat first, and then eat it if there is nothing wrong, you can't waste it, right?"

"White man, that ...... Will that work? Liu Bao was taken aback.

"Why not?" Wu Xuewen looked like a matter of course, and slashed Liu Bao with his head; "In the actual work, you must think more and effectively enhance your work ability, otherwise you will be put alone outside to preside over the work, this will not work, that will not work, what will you do in the end?

You are also a big person, and you have learned a lot of ink, but you must be flexible in solving problems in practical work, rather than sticking to the rules.

The Earl once said;

With the rapid development of the Red River Valley, I hope that the people around me can keep up with the pace of progress, and no one can stop the laggards, and the construction of the Red River Valley cannot wait.

Now I give you this sentence to encourage you!

You have to keep in mind that we have the trust of the Earl to build an overseas paradise for Chinese immigrants, and that indigenous and white people are not in our consideration.

Put away your pathetic sympathy, they're worthless to me.

By the way, go and slaughter all those sick sheep, don't waste it.

Send it to those white people who shout all day long to taste, remember to pay attention, half a day's work is enough, go and execute it. ”

A stern reprimand almost made Liu Baoxun cry, nodded and replied with a sobbing voice; "I must keep in mind the teachings of the commander-in-chief, and I dare not forget it one day, Liu Bao went out to do things."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

Liu Bao shrank his neck and left the command headquarters as if he had fled, and there were two young people next to him with documents in their hands, standing aside with a cowering expression and not daring to step forward.

"What's the matter with you?" Wu Xuewen's expression was very stern.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, we are from the wharf construction team, and now we need to divide into many groups to drive long wooden piles into the beach as an extension of the wooden trestle to prepare for the subsequent steam hammer construction, the project is tight and the task is heavy, our team leader said that there are not enough manpower, and at least 500 strong laborers are needed."

"Oh, there's a lot of manpower." Wu Xuewen looked at the young man and said earnestly; "Let the leader of your dock construction team think of more ways, instead of running to me to ask for people, forget it, I'll give you a trick, let your team leader bring guns, bring people, and go to the tribe in the jungle, where there are indigenous strong laborers, not to mention 500, 1,000 is no problem."

"Ah......" the young man opened his mouth in surprise.

Wu Xuewen waved his hand impatiently and said; "Ah, what, tell your team leader, this is my decision, hurry up and implement it!"

"Yes." The young man was obviously startled, and immediately saluted with his legs together, and slipped away like a rabbit.

Wu Xuewen looked at the last young man with a stern gaze, and this young man immediately preemptively said; "Report to the commander-in-chief, our logging team is fine."

"Well, let's go get to work." Wu Xuewen nodded with satisfaction.

The logging team must have come to ask for someone, and the bad idea he just came up with was also useful to the logging team, this is a very clever young man.

Dockside

The cruiser Seagull slowly approached the dock, and the sailors threw out the cable and moored the ship firmly to the pier.

Li Fushou walked out of the patrol captain's room with a few attachés, and he went out to sea today to take a turn and inspect some deserted islands nearby.

The conclusion was the same as previously expected, all of them were uninhabited desert islands, with high mountains, dense vegetation, and some wild beasts and birds could be observed through telescopes, and there were no signs of human beings.

After visiting a few islands, Li Fushou had no interest in continuing to inspect them.

Shangri-La Island is so large, with a coastline of 8,400 kilometers and more than 1,300 islands, you don't have to think about it for half a month.

Li Fushou is entangled in everything, how can he have so much spare time?

Walking on the permanent pier paved with reinforced concrete, Li Fushou stomped his feet vigorously, very satisfied with the sturdiness.

Walking behind Geng Guigui, Lei Xiao, Fu Peng and others were directly speechless, the reinforced concrete poured on the dock is half a person high, what do you mean by stomping with your feet?

On the pier trestle

Workers are in full swing to first lay a solid wooden trestle and then pour a solid reinforced concrete layer on top of the wooden trestle.

In this way, after the construction is completed, the large steam hammer placed on the rails can enter the construction site, showing the violent aesthetics of the machine.

Large steam hammers drive steel cofferdams into the seawater one by one, making a loud roar, showing the infinite power of the steam industry.

These two-meter-square, 12-meter-long steel cofferdams, built by the Hongshan Shipyard, can be set one by one, driven into the seawater, then drained, dug out of the silt, put into a steel cage, and finally poured with concrete to form, gradually extending into the sea.

This concrete permanent pier was built on the original wooden trestle, and the trestle was widened, lengthened and expanded.

The final pier is 240 meters long and 12 meters wide.

The width of the wide cement trestle is more than 4 times larger than the original, and the left and right sides will be equipped with wharf hoisting equipment, which can receive and unload two 10,000-ton ocean-going freighters and two 5,000-ton freighters at the same time.

Li Fushou stood on the trestle bridge and looked around the beautiful fjord with satisfaction.

In the distance, large areas of forest have been cut down, trees have been processed and piled up into hills of timber, and wooden houses are under construction in large open spaces.

The wooden house in the tropics resembles a stilted house, with a hardened floor of cement slabs at the bottom, cement pillars more than half a person high to support the weight of the entire wooden house, and a large log structure at the bottom, covered with wooden planks.

This kind of house is mosquito-proof, cool and breathable, and comfortable to live in.
