Chapter Ninety-One: Planning a Long Journey
After eating at noon, while everyone was there, Xiao Yuan spoke for a while, mainly to set the rules and announce the salary in a few days.
After finishing speaking, the following is a piece of jubilation, all of them are from Xiao Jiagou, outsiders have salaries, and the third master Xiao Wenxu made a grand debut.
The old man has been the captain for many years, he is old and has a long generation, this wicked man still needs him to be a deterrent, and the old man can't let Xiao Yuan, the hope of the Xiao family, be this wicked man.
Xiao Yuan told Brother Lobby that the three cousins also receive wages together, and there is no reason why they don't get paid for their work, are the people in the village closer than them? There are also two families with foreign surnames.
Driving back, the things here still can't take up too much of his energy, after all, it takes several hours to go back and forth, and it still depends on them, so he doesn't accept other people, he can't manage it, and it's ugly if something goes wrong.
Xiao Yuan first went to Beichizi Street, watched Li San's progress, and went home after a while, he cooperated so many times, he knew that Li San and they were very obedient.
In the next few days, Xiao Yuan can also go out, every day in the steel mill, Beichizi Street, at home, he is waiting for Li San to finish demolishing them, and he still has to do it himself, otherwise he expects them to not know the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey.
On the afternoon of April 30, Xiao Yuan and Li San settled the account, and let them share the remaining grain, which should be regarded as a reward.
He still followed the previous method, the basement was basically the same as the back, except that two dark passages were designed, one was connected to the basement behind, and the other was a huge pipe that led to the bottom of the moat.
In case he won't use it, after all, it's okay now, the river can't be seen in the future, the garbage is piled up, the Forbidden City family courtyard, and the restaurant next to it, directly sewage into it, until the millennium before the clean.
It took two days to finish the entire basement, and all the building materials were piled up in the yard, including the coarse grains and vegetables reserved for Li San.
Then he went back to the backyard, cleaned up the mess, and started to decorate from the basement, which is much larger than Di'anmen, not only the place, but also the building area.
On the morning of May 12, Xiao Yuan handed over the courtyard to Li San and continued to work, basically the same as the back, now the weather is warmer, and the construction difficulty is smaller.
Xiao Yuan discussed with Director Yang and wanted to go to the south to find opportunities to open up sources of grain and meat, after all, everyone knows how far the drought has reached in the north.
Director Yang himself is also under great pressure, the steel mill is too popular, the big leader opened his mouth to coordinate, the above grain allocation, is also gradually decreasing, the proportion of coarse grains, substitute food is getting higher and higher, the original plan has been completely disrupted.
Of course he agreed, Xiao Yuan didn't go to work, he could go anywhere, as long as you could get the food back.
Now this is the situation, the cadres in the northwest have all gone to East China and South China to borrow grain, and isn't it normal for our key units in northern Beijing to go to the south to raise grain?
The unit was settled, and the daughter-in-law did a good job of ideological work last night, after all, she had long been clear about the nature of Xiao Yuan's work, but this time she went to the south, and it took a long time.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Yuan got on the train going south, and the first stop was Quancheng, go and see Mr. Dayi, the old leader scolded him a few times.
After getting off the train, Xiao Yuan first went to find Zhou Feiyang, who cooperated last time, but this Vice Minister Zhou knew that this was the chief's cronies, not to mention that he helped him last time, and he was very enthusiastic.
"Vice Minister Zhou, I'll ask you to borrow a truck, borrow a rifle, and go to the mountains to hunt some prey, otherwise I won't dare to go to the chief's house empty-handed, he can scold me to death." Xiao Yuan needs to find a reason, he came by train and brought a pistol.
"Comrade Xiao Yuan, this is simple, do you need manpower?" Zhou Feiyang asked with concern.
"That's no, our family has been hunting for generations, besides, I'm going to take the soldiers to hunt in the mountains, and then give the prey to Mr. Dayi, I guess he will drive me out."
Xiao Yuan hurriedly refused, what are you kidding, you send someone to follow, how can I move freely, I don t want to Taishan to collect some stones, see if the space is interested, and there is more space for prey.
Vice Minister Zhou is very good at being a man, and directly lent him the latest Gil, semi-automatic and 200 rounds of ammunition, which really looks up to him, how much prey can he hit.
However, he also noticed that this Zhou Feiyang was cautious, semi-automatic was not a column, and the old gun was probably from the armed forces department below.
It's a pity that the world-famous Daiyue, the famous stone dared to be a stone, and later hyped into a jade thing, which did not arouse the interest of the space.
On May 14, at half past ten o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yuan drove a truck and appeared at the gate of the compound, where the sentry had registered and completed the formalities, the gun and bullets had been returned, and his own gun had to be handed over for safekeeping.
Not long after, a lieutenant colonel came over, introduced himself as the secretary of General Dayi, and took him to meet the leader.
I haven't seen the old leader for many years, but he is still so majestic, I heard that Xiao Yuan went to hunt game for him, and he was very happy, so he sent it to his home, and the car was returned to the logistics department.
Immediately, Xiao Yuan couldn't laugh, "Since you kid is here, I have accepted the gift, but I can't just eat meat, in this way, I will let Zhou Feiyang come over, take the group of people from last time, you go to sea to help me get boat fish." Mr. Yi said majestically.
"Leader, I'm passing by here, I came to see you, I still have a mission, and I haven't prepared a secret recipe?" Xiao Yuan was directly tragic, and he knew that he would not come.
"We fishermen have been fishing for thousands of years, and we don't have any secret recipes, so it's okay if it's different." Mr. Yi's eyes widened, thinking about it.
"Leader, you know me, don't fight uncertain battles, we don't have professional trawlers, and we don't have secret recipes, so it's definitely not as good as other professional fishing companies, right? I have an idea to report to you, and you can give me some pointers. Xiao Yuan was reluctant to do it, and was ready to change the topic and give the leader a difficult problem to think about.
"I'll listen to what you say." Mr. Yi looked at Xiao Yuan majestically.
"Leader, this is just my personal opinion, just listen to it, don't be angry if you say it wrong." Xiao Yuan took a preventive shot first.
"Hurry up!"
"Good leadership. Now our country is suffering from an unprecedented famine, such a big thing happened last year, and this year's spring famine is so serious, how can we harvest each of them? I heard the old man say that the drought is accompanied by the flood, and the second half of the year is not optimistic! Xiao Yuan said with a heavy face.
"Nonsense, I know better than you, but what is the saying about the flood after the great drought?" Mr. Yi asked Xiao Yuan.
"It makes sense to say, a long drought will be met with heavy rain, heavy rain, under the long-term drought, plants, trees are destroyed too much, naturally can not prevent heavy rain, and the mud is dry for too long, easy to dry up, desertification, a rainstorm is easy to destroy the embankment, the wall falls, the house collapses, probably this is the meaning, I don't understand very well." Xiao Yuan could only remind, ambiguous explanations.
"There is also some truth, this is the experience handed down by the common people! And then on, what are the thoughts? Mr. Yi nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"I thought that the whole country was affected, and it wasn't a day or two, and it was difficult to find resources inside, so I had to find a way from the outside." Xiao Yuan led the topic abroad.
"Everyone understands this truth, but what can be done, the US imperialists have blockaded us, and the woolly bear has also turned its face, there are only a few in the world, and recently our President Wu is importing grain, it's just a drop in the bucket, foreign exchange, transportation are all problems!" Mr. Yi sighed, his jurisdiction was seriously affected.
"I think so, Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, Nanyang, these places are not short of food, no matter what, you can get some, and you can buy Western grain there.
Think of a way to transport, even if you get a boat back, you can save a lot of people! "Xiao Yuan has thought about it, since he can escape at any time, it's okay to wave a little, right?
"Do you want to go over on your own? I believe in your ability and your loyalty, what are your concerns? Heavy asked Xiao Yuan.
"You also know me, and I am not afraid to sacrifice for my country abroad. It's just that the current situation has to be dealt with overseas relations. If I go out and fight my best to get food back, and I end up putting myself in, it doesn't matter if I die, I still have my family, if I affect them, I'm afraid of dying. Xiao Yuan said the most worried.
"Alas! Your worries are justified, and everyone will think about them. "Mr. Yi also has a headache, this is a real problem that cannot be avoided.
"Leader, I think at this time, no matter who can get food back from outside, it is a hero, after all, it is our people who are saved!" Xiao Yuan felt that the grain was not guilty.
