"Comrades, have a nice trip!"

"Pay more attention to safety on the road, and you must return safely."

"May you return with a full load!"

At this time, at the gate of the base, a group of cadres were bidding farewell to the two caravans in the village.

After a month of full preparation, Li Jiang and Lai Dahai deliberately chose to set off on the auspicious day of June 6, which can be regarded as a good fortune, hoping that the journey of going out to do business will be smooth and auspicious.

"Thank you for the blessings of the two base captains, we will pay more attention."

"We will live up to the expectations of the base."

Li Jiang and Lai Dahai were very excited, they didn't expect that when they set off, they could be personally seen off by the base chief and other leaders, and this meeting was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

How face-to-face it will be to say it in the future.

"Alright, let's go, remember to write a letter to keep in touch." Xia Ning reminded her loudly that she had already made it clear what she should have told and explained.

The two responded in unison, "We remember." ”

This time, they were fully prepared, and both materials and manpower were carefully selected.

The two of them each brought thirty-five people, ten of whom were members of the special security team, and their fists, feet, kung fu and reconnaissance skills were very good, and they were equivalent to the existence of caravan guards.

The other 20 people are villagers selected from the reserve army, but after more than a month of training, they have already possessed the basic combat ability of a soldier, and almost all of those who can join the reserve army are good seedlings with good physical fitness and strong personal molding.

As for the remaining five people, they are equivalent to the logistics staff in the team.

This time, the goods of the two teams were also very well prepared, including fabrics from textile workshops, embroidered handkerchiefs of different colors, dried mushrooms, spicy cabbage, pickles, potatoes and other special products of Baiyun Village.

As for some that can't be taken away, they can only rely on other products to attract traffic into the base.

For these supplies alone, the two teams each loaded five electric tricycles and three carriages, and for this trip, they also specially built a carport for the rear body of the electric tricycle, so as to avoid the wind and sun.

If it weren't for the fact that the base would also use electric tricycles, Xia Ning would like to replace all the caravans' travel tools with convenient and fast electric tricycles, as for the newly added carts in the base, it is not suitable for them to drive out for the time being, and the goal is too conspicuous.

Driving an electric tricycle is a bit surprising at best, after all, the model is similar to the horse-drawn carriage, not too prominent and too peculiar, and it is within the acceptable range of the world, plus the identity of their caravan, then this uniqueness is not too strange in the eyes of the common people.

Of course, in addition to transportation, there are also sufficient preparations in terms of medicine and security.

This time, the route planned by the caravan is not very far, and it is expected that the round trip will be within two or three months, and the border pass has been occupied by the Rong people, so it will definitely not be able to go.

After Shaanzhou was recovered by King An, although it has begun to gradually recover, the economy is still very depressed in a short period of time, and the people's livelihood and security are not too stable, and it is not a good place to go.

In addition, the direction to the north of Shaanzhou is the capital, which is even more inappropriate, not to mention that the base should not be exposed, that is, with the prosperity of the capital and its surroundings, there is no need for these special products.

So after some discussion, they decided on two routes, one towards Shuzhou and the other towards Ganzhou.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, Shuzhou is currently a relatively calm state city among several state capitals, and the Song family also intends to explore the situation in Shuzhou, wanting to see if their side is really as calm as it seems.

Secondly, Shuzhou is rich in products and is indeed a very good trading state city.

And Ganzhou is clear, because the border of Ganzhou is close to many Fanbang vassal states, and there are often caravans from the south to the north on their side, which is the biggest goal of their caravan's trip.

Xia Ning wants to establish long-term and friendly business relations with the small countries of Fanbang, they have a few tribes' specialties, and it happens that they are very short of daily necessities and food, if the base can reach cooperation with several Fanbang countries, then the economy and agriculture will be greatly developed.

Therefore, the main task of the caravan on this trip is not to sell goods to make money, but to explore the route, accumulate experience for further travel in the future, and then receive refugees along the way, do some guidance and then inquire about some outside news, that is, pay attention to some situation dynamics in other regions.

Then exchange the caravan's materials for some materials needed by the base and come back, or items that are relatively few or not available in Cangshan County, so that you can also make a difference.

Therefore, the village committee and Xia Ning also gave each two caravans a sum of money, which they could use for expenses on the road and exchange for goods in other places.

The departure of the caravan does not mean that there is nothing important in the village.

On the second day, all the members of the Ministry of Agriculture led a group of villagers into the watermelon field.

That's right, it's time to pick watermelons.

Looking at such a big battle of the team, many villagers who did not have work tasks also came to join in the fun, everyone stood on the edge of the melon field, looking at the watermelon field with relish, obviously more excited and excited than the team members who picked watermelons.

It was as if the team members were digging not fruit watermelons, but gold buried in the ground, and those pairs of eyes were staring at their movements, so that they didn't know how to place their hands and feet.

"Ouch~ Is this posture going to pick watermelons?"

Many villagers who did not have the task of going to work followed to join in the fun, and everyone stood on the edge of the watermelon field, looking at the melon picking team in the field with excitement on their faces.

"Ho! This watermelon is so big! ”

"Is it really planted? This melon grows quite fast. ”

"I really didn't expect that fruit could be grown in this sandy land."

"Yes, it used to be a wasteland, if we knew we could grow fruit, we wouldn't have to go hungry."

"Hey~ Without Mr. Xia, everything is in vain, where did you know it earlier."

"I don't know what this watermelon tastes like? It was so green that I could see that my saliva was left. ”

"It's definitely delicious~"

"This watermelon is big and round, and it grows really cute."

"You say, can we eat watermelon today?"

"How can such a rare thing be given to us to taste casually?"

"I wonder if I can change jobs? Seven members of my family earn work, and now they have saved a lot of work. ”

"I'm so envious~ Our family's work has long been exchanged for shopping materials."

"I don't know how many hours of work can be exchanged for a watermelon, if it is less than 30 points, then I still hope to eat it."

"Shhh Brother, you are really willing, thirty points of work will be exchanged for a watermelon? Isn't this food that fills your stomach, is it? ”

"I'm happy, it's okay to continue to work and earn when the work is gone, but watermelon is only available at this time, and if you don't eat it, you will definitely be worried about it all the time."

"Okay, let's hurry up and ask in the compound of the village committee, so many watermelons will definitely be exchanged for us."

"You're right, let's go."

Sorry, but I'll stop changing something today.
