Chapter 465 Reluctant to give in to each other

In an undeveloped area like Da Nang, there is naturally nothing good to eat or drink, and the skills of the Annan cooks cannot be compared with the specially trained Hai Han cooks. Fortunately, the ingredients are fresh, so we can make do with it.

Of course, Ruan Jinggui, who still harbors grudges, would inevitably complain from time to time about the fact that the northern chefs brought by Zheng Lin did not know how to use southern spices. Zheng Lin would also retort, saying that the villagers in the south probably rarely have the opportunity to eat authentic food.

of royal cuisine.

Liu Shanxia really wanted to tell these two guys to shut up. The food at Annan's level was only as good as Shaxian snacks. They were still arguing over each other to see who was better. From Liu Shanxia's point of view, it was like sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Early the next morning, Zheng Lin came to Haihan Camp to handle the immigration handover with Ruan Jinggui. Liu Shanxia, ​​on the other hand, took a group of people from the Ministry of Construction to the beach to survey the terrain and draw construction drawings.

Da Nang is located in the middle of the Indochina Peninsula, 1,500 miles away from Thang Long, and is close to the South China Sea. Its strategic location is very important. In another history of time and space, Da Nang was used by France, Japan, and the Soviet Union in turns as a military base in the South China Sea. Da Nang

The harbor is horseshoe-shaped facing north, about 15 kilometers long from north to south and 11 kilometers wide from east to west. The water depth along the coast is more than ten meters, which can build a deep-water dock for large ships to dock. There is Son Tra Peninsula in the south of the harbor and Han Island in the north as a barrier.

, there are also Wuxing Mountain and Fuxiang Mountain along the coast to shield the strong winds from the sea, and the wind shelter conditions are very good. The temperature here is around 25 degrees all year round, and with the long coastal beach, it can be regarded as a quite comfortable resort.

.

Of course, Liu Shanxia does not have much time to spend slowly here. He must complete the actual survey of this area within half a month, and design the development and construction plan of Da Nang accordingly. By then, the supervision of the work will be

Leave it to other technical staff from the Ministry of Construction to follow up, and he himself needs to rush back to Sanya, where there are still Hong Kong Island port projects and a lot of other things that he has to go back to deal with in person. Compared with before the time travel, Liu Shanxia hardly enjoyed the time travel.

As a benefit, over the past two years, I have spent more than half of the time at the construction site - and almost all the rest of the time was spent on the way to the construction site.

Compared with the topographic survey work, which is strict and does not allow for any mistakes, it is difficult to have unified implementation standards in the immigration handover process. Originally, according to the prior agreement between the two parties, the labor conditions provided by Annan should be between 16 and 50.

Healthy people under the age of 1 with no physical disabilities or obvious diseases. However, the actual situation did not achieve the results Haihan expected. As long as Ruan Jinggui was not blind, he could easily see that there were many people in the crowd who did not meet the conditions.

People exist.

Ruan Jinggui turned his head and whispered a few instructions to the subordinates next to him. Not long after, militiamen came forward and began to pull those who did not meet the conditions from the team.

Of course Zheng Lin immediately realized something was wrong and asked Ruan Jinggui: "Commissioner Ruan, what does this mean?"

Ruan Jinggui snorted and said: "Special Envoy Zheng, you don't have to pretend to be confused with me, right? Look at these people who were pulled out, some are old, some are young, there is a leg among them, this is not the same as what was promised

!"

"The difference in age is inevitable, as long as you can work, isn't it?" Zheng Lin also knew that he was wrong and planned to fool him.

"As long as he can work?" Ruan Jinggui stood up angrily and took out a half-year-old child from the crowd who had just been pulled aside: "This child is only seven or eight years old at most. Do you think he can do the work of an adult?"

After speaking, Ruan Jinggui pulled out an old man with a cane and white hair and beard from the crowd: "Even if this person is not seventy or eighty, he must be more than fifty years old, right? In his current condition, can he bear the burden?"

Can you lift it? Special Envoy Ruan, if you mix in so much sand with the three thousand workers we originally agreed upon, and the project will be delayed due to this, will the responsibility be yours or mine? "

Ruan Jinggui knows that the Haihan bureaucracy attaches great importance to the word "responsibility". Since he is responsible for the handover of labor, he will not let go easily. Otherwise, when the time comes, he will definitely be held responsible. Hong Kong

For such a big thing as district construction, being fired from one's job might be considered a minor matter, or he might just be sent to a hard labor camp to work as a coolie.

Zheng Lin sighed and said: "Commissioner Ruan, this is not my intention. These workers are recruited from the whole village. If these people are specially selected, wouldn't it be necessary to break up countless families?"

The last time Zheng Lin went to Sanya Port to discuss cooperative development matters with the Executive Committee, there were 3,000 people in Haihan when he opened his mouth, but there were not so many residents near Da Nang. In order to solve this problem, the Annan government had to start from the south.

People were recruited from the vicinity of Hoi An, and almost all the remaining local people were taken away and sent to Da Nang as labor candidates. The problems Zheng Lin mentioned do exist. Since the whole village is being relocated, there must be some unqualified conditions.

people, but no matter what the considerations were, it was impossible to drive these people away and let them fend for themselves, so we simply packed them all and sent them to Da Nang, maybe with a few extra dollars.

After all, Ruan Jinggui was also from South Vietnam. After hearing Zheng Lin’s explanation, he was somewhat moved: “Didn’t you use prisoners of war to deliver the goods?”

Zheng Lin shook his head and said: "The war has been over for half a year, and we have caught almost everyone we can. We can't catch all those who put down their weapons and go home to farm, right?"

After hearing this, Ruan Jinggui also felt that it made some sense, but Zheng Lin said that the prisoner of war resources were almost exhausted, which was not good news for Haihan. Ruan Jinggui had stayed in Sanya for half a year, and he also knew that there were quite a few naturalized people there.

Some of them come from Annan. The introduction of large numbers of immigrants from the outside world has always been a policy that the Executive Committee insists on implementing. If the source of immigrants from Annan is interrupted, it will definitely affect the development process of Haihan to some extent. This situation may not necessarily be the case at the base camp.

I know, I have to report it to Liu Shanxia later.

Although Ruan Jinggui also sympathizes with these compatriots, he knows very well which side he is on now, not to mention being able to enter the Haihan system, which is actually a good thing for these people who lack a stable living environment. If he can do more

Some compatriots have entered the Haihan system, and Ruan Jinggui is happy to contribute.

"I can recruit these people, but they cannot be counted as qualified labor force. You still have to find a way to get enough of the 3,000 people we want." Ruan Jinggui has been with Schneider for several months, and nothing else.

I have learned a lot about this skill of calculating others. Not only must these unqualified people be retained, but Zheng Lin must also try to make up the difference.

Zheng Lin felt that it was a big deal when he heard that. With these three thousand people, he had already plundered all the people in a radius of nearly a hundred miles. If he followed Ruan Jinggui's selection method, he would probably have to pick out eighteen hundred people out of the three thousand.

If you are not qualified, you will have to ship people over from other places, and the consumption here and inside will be huge.

Zheng Lin immediately shook his head and retorted: "Commissioner Ruan is wrong. When we recruit workers, we do not break up families. We really hope that you can accept them all as workers. But since they are not qualified, then they are not qualified."

There is no reason for us to provide it to you for free."

Zheng Lin refused to let Ruan Jinggui take advantage of him, and Ruan Jinggui did not want to suffer such a boring loss, so the two were in a stalemate. However, Ruan Jinggui's people were not idle, and they constantly picked out those who obviously did not meet the conditions from the ranks of the people.

People, and the families of these people often left the team because of this, so soon there were hundreds of people outside the team who were imprisoned separately. Some half-year-old children had no idea what was going on, and when they saw the sea

The Han militiamen held shining bayonets on their rifles and couldn't help but howl loudly, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"What happened?" At this moment, Liu Shanxia finally came back and happened to encounter this chaotic scene.

The two talked about the cause and effect, and Liu Shanxia was a little dumbfounded after listening to it. Both families had their own reasons for this, but from Liu Shanxia's point of view, of course, the priority was to protect himself.

"Special Envoy Zheng, this is not our people's intention to embarrass you. Whatever the original agreement was, we will implement it. No matter where these unqualified people end up, you will still have to provide these 3,000 qualified workers.

, otherwise the construction period will continue to be delayed, and you will be the most harmed. You should think carefully about it!" Liu Shanxia did not say who was right or wrong. Anyway, he decided not to let go of the matter of the three thousand workers. As for these singled out workers.

No matter how people deal with it in the end, he is not in a hurry anyway.

This place is more than a thousand miles away from Thang Long Palace, and Zheng Lin doesn't have Hai Han's magical ability to communicate across the air. He wants to ask the court for instructions as soon as possible. If he sends an envoy back to ask for instructions and then comes back, it will take more than half a month.

It has passed, and the Haihan people obviously will not have the patience to wait in this bay forever.

Zheng Lin hesitated for a long time before responding: "How about this? Let's each take a step back. Those who don't meet the conditions will be converted into one person, so that each other will have less trouble."

Ruan Jinggui caught a glimpse of Liu Shanxia's face hesitating, as if he was about to agree to Zheng Lin's suggestion, so he rushed ahead and said: "How can two people work as one person? Look at the young ones, the old ones, who doesn't need someone to take care of them?

?In my opinion, at least five people should be converted into one person, which is fair."

"Five people?" Zheng Lin almost shouted, "Why don't you go grab it?"

"If you feel something is wrong, then send these people back. Anyway, we can't make them do anything after we take them over. They can only eat food for free." Ruan Jinggui said with an indifferent expression.

Zheng Lin was unwilling to give up, and argued for a long time. Finally, after Liu Shanxia's "justice", he reached the condition that three people could be counted as one qualified worker. But even so, the number of workers was still not enough, and Zheng Lin still

We have to find a way to make up the difference of 3,000 people.

Three thousand people may not be too much, but it is definitely not something Zheng Lin can gather in a short while. The instructions given to him by the imperial court are to build Da Nang as soon as possible and restore the maritime trade channel in southern Annam. As for other situations, Liang

The senior officials and dignitaries of Long Mansion didn't care. In the end, Zheng Lin had to agree to add another five hundred young men, but he hoped that Liu Shanxia could start construction here as soon as possible.

However, it is useless to rush this kind of thing. No matter how capable Liu Shanxia is, he does not dare to start directing the construction with his eyes closed. He still has to complete the preparation work one by one. However, considering the specific situation in Annan, Liu Shanxia

It was decided to modify the original construction plan and complete the construction work of Da Nang in a way of construction while using it.

Liu Shanxia stayed in Da Nang until mid-October before returning to Sanya. The survey data and research on Hong Kong Island were sent back, and he was needed to come back to organize and coordinate the development of the harbor development plan in the southwest of Hong Kong Island.

While the infrastructure project is in full swing, other departments are not idle either. In late October, the first 1,500-ton displacement warship built by the Victory Port Shipyard finally entered the launching and outfitting stage. Although the construction completion rate at this time was only 67

It was too early to be put into use, but the big guys on the executive committee were very excited and gathered at the shipyard to watch this big guy.

For reasons of confidentiality, the Executive Committee did not arrange a large-scale celebration for this event, and the vicinity of the dock where the ship was launched was also isolated by high fences and guarded warships on the periphery.

No one can get close inside.

Of course, it is almost impossible to maintain 100% confidentiality. After all, the tall masts on the ship cannot be covered at all. Anyone entering or leaving Victory Port will notice the large sea-going ship being built in this mysterious dock.

However, no one could guess how big the ship was.

Luo Shengdong had also noticed this mysterious ship a long time ago. To be precise, there should be two ships, because he knew that there were two large shipyards built in the area subject to strict military control, and according to the sea

It is customary for the Han people to build only one ship of a certain model. Luo Shengdong was almost certain that there was another large ship under construction in another shipyard with a slightly slower progress.

There are indeed warships with a larger displacement than the "exploration class" in the Ming Navy, but only the Guangdong Navy is equipped with a few ships, and there are none on Qiongzhou Island. Luo Shengdong has never seen the real thing. But he

Judging from the length and distance of the mast protruding from the height, it can be inferred that the warship the Haihan people are building not only has a displacement far greater than that of the "exploration class", but it is probably difficult to find an opponent of the same level among the warships currently in service in the Ming army. Perhaps Zheng He

The treasure ships that sailed to the Western Ocean had such a tonnage, but now the Ming Dynasty no longer has such huge treasure ships.

Luo Shengdong applied several times to visit the shipyard to visit this new ship, but was rejected by the Military Commission. The reason is also very simple - before the ship is publicly unveiled, all the information must be kept secret, even from allies.

Enter.
