Chapter 1084: Gradually Losing Enthusiasm
* Laugh, when you wake up again, it's time when everyone is busy working!
"I've played everything I should have played yesterday, work hard today, finish early, and we can go back early!" Let's all get moving, and start our new work! ”
Under Liao Fan's mobilization, his guards started a new round of reconnaissance, and the first thing they had to figure out was how much difference there was between the map and the actual terrain! If the terrain is divided only by maps, there are no satellite maps in this era, and if you make a mistake, things will definitely happen.
Of course, Liao Fan can't be the shopkeeper this time, there are not many people in their army who know the navy, and Liao Fan is also a half-ass, which is much better than nothing.
Liao Fan inspected the entire coastal area of Guangdong, but now they think that only Shantou is located! According to Liao Fan's plan, Shantou, Shanwei and Zhanjiang followed this route!
After they have completed this route, that is, said that the place is promising, they will decide where to set up the naval base in the south! Of course, there is also the command of the Southern Naval Base, which must be close to the sea.
As for those islands by the sea, although they are within the scope of Liao Fan's plan, there is a big problem with the islands, judging from the ability they are building now, if they want to build the islands into a powerful naval base, Liao Fan will be overwhelmed by the cost alone.
Built by the sea first, this is the most cost-effective! Liao Fan's master is not easy to do, things must not only ensure the best quality, but also spend less money, where there is such a good thing, everything can only rely on their soldiers, because only their engineering troops can ensure the quality of foolproof.
However, life at the beach is still very joyful, at least much better than during the trip, if you are really tired, you can eat your own seafood caught at the beach! It's tanned by the sea, but it's much cooler here than inland.
The day after Liao Fan and the others arrived in Shantou, Jiang Guangnai came to Guangdong with his secretarial staff.
"When you become a parent official in your hometown, I feel like you've gotten fat!"
Last time, Jiang Guangnai was still relatively thin, but now he looks a lot fatter.
"No matter what happens in the army, you don't have to worry about national affairs, your heart is also relaxed, and you can do something for the people in your hometown, and you will naturally feel better!"
"Well, since you're here, I won't hide it from you! I don't have to worry about you doing things, and you are also from the army, you know what a secret order is, you don't need me to tell you, you know what to do! ”
"By the way, I haven't asked you what you're doing in Guangdong! I didn't get any news from coming to Guangdong in such a secret! ”
"I'm here, and you're not going to have any news? That's not your style of doing things, you know and pretend you don't know, right? ”
When you come to the boundary of Guangdong, there must be two people who can't be hidden, one is Gui Yongqing, and the other is Jiang Guangnai! Unless two people don't want to know, there aren't many things that can be hidden from two people.
"You've really wronged me this time!"
"Do you see this sea?" Liao Fan no longer asked whether Jiang Guangnai really knew that he had come to Guangdong, but the matter here must not be hidden from Jiang Guangnai, and he also needed to coordinate with various departments in Guangdong to build their naval bases.
"You don't want to do something about this sea, do you?"
"Such a large area of the sea is idle and idle, to be used, to do business, to engage in military and the like, only when it is used, it is valuable, otherwise we will not use it, it will be used by others!"
Jiang Guangnai guessed what Liao Fan was going to do, he was a soldier, and his previous status was not low, it was normal to be able to think of what Liao Fan was going to do.
"Ideas are good ideas, but what do you have? How many fishing boats, how many fishermen, are we going to install a 500 mm caliber cannon on a fishing boat? ”
Liao Fan glanced at Jiang Guangnai, everyone knew that if you put a 500 mm cannon on a fishing boat, even if you put a * cannon, it might sink.
"Don't be cynical here, if we don't build a military port, even if we have such a large-caliber cannon, we can only pile it up in the warehouse as scrap copper and rotten iron, and after we build it, we will have warships!"
Of course, there are some things that Liao Fan will not tell Jiang Guangnai, except for a few people in the core of the country, it is impossible for Liao Fan to tell others.
"Hmm...... That makes sense, but the cost of building a military port won't be borne by us alone, right? ”
It costs money to build a military port, which is not only something that Liao Fan has to care about, but also the local people, because everyone knows that there is no money, let alone building a military port, it is difficult to build a house.
"Don't fight our Guangdong idea, let me tell you, He Yingqin is not easy to toss in Guangdong, Guangdong Province has not recovered yet, if you squeeze the economy here again, Guangdong's Baixin may really rebel!"
If one person can't survive, he can be a thief, and if a group of people can't survive, then he can really be a bandit!
Liao Fan frowned, he knew that He Yingqin had caused enough harm to the local people when he was making trouble here: "If they are bandits, they will definitely promote you as the leader!" ”
Jiang Guangnai was a little panicked when he heard Liao Fan's words, but what he had experienced and his knowledge made him able to deal with this kind of problem easily.
At this time, Jiang Guangnai is like a duet in front of the king, once he answers wrong, his head may fall to the ground. But Jiang Guangnai believes that Liao Fan is not such a narrow-minded person, otherwise Liao Fan would not have come to this day, and when he was in Taihang Mountain, he could already be used as a stepping stone for his subordinates to take a step forward.
Jiang Guangnai quickly calmed down: "If I can really find a way for the people to live, what if I am charged with being a bandit!" ”
"You are very righteous and put me in the land of injustice!"
"So, you won't starve our people in Guangdong to death!"
"But there is one thing to explain, the construction of the port is for both military and civilian purposes, and it can be beneficial to Guangdong in the future, but other provinces can't enjoy such good treatment, if you don't pay a penny, and get such good benefits, isn't it a little too greedy?"
Although the construction of the military port is beneficial to the country, there is no doubt that it will also have many benefits for the local area.
Jiang Guangnai admitted that what Liao Fan said was true, if they didn't save a penny, there would be such a big benefit, and other provinces should indeed have opinions.
But Jiang Guangnai still wants to fight for some interests: "The sea is ours, the land is ours, the manpower used in the future is also ours, and the materials are also ours. ”
"I thought you were just a military master, but I didn't expect that you were also-for-tat in this negotiation and caught my weakness!"
"So what......" Jiang Guangnai wanted the result.
"That's what you said, you pay for the materials and personnel, as for the money, how about you pay one-fifteenth?"
Materials and personnel have already accounted for a large proportion, of course, China has not lacked population since ancient times! Using the local population just enough to pay them wages solves the employment problem of a group of people, which is Jiang Guangnai's cleverness.
"One-twentieth!"
"Too greedy, isn't it? In the future, your income from using the port will not be as simple as 20 times! ”
"Brother Fan, you also said that this is a matter of the future, but it is really not enough to eat at the moment, and there are still bandits on some mountains!"
"Okay, these are up to you, but the local bandits also have your responsibility, solve these problems as soon as possible, if the bandits don't solve them, the people's lives will not be stable."
Jiang Guangnai's goal has been achieved, at least they don't have to bear all the costs. Unlike Qingdao's military port, although it is not as large as Guangdong's, it is all undertaken by a province.
"The matter has been discussed, let's take a look around, I just delineate the scope, and you are responsible for the land acquisition! As for the construction, I will send someone to supervise it. ”
"Although you can rest assured about this, I dare not guarantee anything else, I can guarantee the quality of this military thing, and there will be no mistakes at all!"
The construction of the military port is related to a century-old plan, just like the Beiyang superintendent at the end of the Qing Dynasty. If they are still like this at this time, they really deserve to be bullied.
Of course, Jiang Guangnai can't follow Liao Fan's side all the time, he is the governor of a province, not Liao Fan's entourage, and he has a lot of things to deal with.
After a day here, Jiang Guangnai returned to his office. Because he wanted to issue government decrees, and these decrees were to serve Liao Fan's military port construction.
From these aspects, it can be shown that the local government and the army have begun to separate, and the local government and the army are mutually supportive, no longer like the warlord period, the warlord represents the locality, and the local can also use the warlord at any time!
Military and local affairs have been separated, and only by supporting each other can the two sides survive on a piece of land. Of course, the finances are also completely separated, there is no money, and no matter how much army there is, it is a rabble.
Liao Fan really didn't have a day idle in Guangdong, a large number of documents had to be processed every day, and the engineering troops and relevant designers also arrived in Guangdong one step earlier to assist Liao Fan in his work, and they had to come up with construction drawings as soon as possible.
And every day Liao Fan is noisy here, Liao Fan is like a contractor on the construction site, but Liao Fan is wearing a military uniform at this time.
"I want to tell you, there must be at least three military ports in Guangdong, you designers want to find a way to make these military ports can cooperate with each other, if there are any military problems, ask Du Yuming, ask my brother, come and ask me, what we have to do now is to work together and get things done as soon as possible."
In the Shantou area alone, Liao Fan and his family stayed for nearly a month, during which the soldiers were keen on eating seafood from the beginning, and in the end they would rather eat compressed biscuits than touch seafood again. The warriors' enthusiasm for seeing the sea from the beginning gradually moved away from the sea, because the daily salty water and strong light made their already rough skin begin to blister.
