At this time, a large number of inland river sailing boats gathered on the side of the Shengshui River, in order to support the operation of the Shanxi detachment, the company even mobilized most of the ships transporting displaced people in the Yellow River waterway, which can be regarded as solving the problem of transporting materials.

Several brigades returned to the Luliang Mountains one after another, and along the way, they also gathered a group of young men and women among the displaced people. At present, all the basic projects in the base area are still in the final stage, and a large number of materials looted in this operation still need to be counted and put into storage, so it is not advisable to collect too many displaced people in the near future. However, before the beginning of winter, the Luliangshan base area will determine the specific number of displaced people to be collected this year according to the reserve of grain and other materials.

The Shengshui River Improvised Wharf has been very lively these days, and the officers and men of the Shanxi guerrilla detachment, as well as a large number of militiamen and displaced people, are busy here. Li Ming, Song Tao and others also carried the supplies on the ship with everyone.

The people of the entire base area were mobilized, and there was a scene of great heat everywhere on and off the mountain. The looting of materials from this mission was so great that the materials unloaded from the ship were piled up, and they were all placed in several temporary storage points by the river. Then the materials were transported to the bottom of the mountain by horse-drawn carts, and the materials were sent to the base area by the ropeway into the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain in the base area, the ropeway into the mountain is running at full capacity, and all kinds of materials are being transported to the base area 24 hours a day. Several steam units roared violently, and the employees of the local industrial team nervously guarded the equipment, nervously observing the operation of the equipment.

Because there are too many materials, the speed of the ropeway to transport the materials cannot transport all the materials to the mountain in a short time. Li Ming ordered all the war horses, as well as the captured mules, horses and ploughing cattle to be used to carry supplies up the mountain.

Many militiamen and displaced people who went up to the mountains would take the initiative to ask for a bag of food or other supplies on their backs. Although the mountain road is steep, they are really hungry and afraid, as long as they are asked to carry food, they are not afraid of no matter how heavy it is. Seeing that the company brought back so much food, everyone's hearts were steady, no matter how hard and tired they were. They will also carry the grain to the mountains.

The Luliang base is now poor and white, although there are some materials supported by the company, but after all, it is too far away from the company, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. At present, the company can still rely on the ships that transport displaced people to and from the base area, and constantly replenish the base area, but once it enters the winter, the company's material supply will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the Luliang base area still has to carry forward the spirit of arduous struggle. Strive to be self-sufficient, and meet the various supply needs of the base areas through seizures and other means. It is also possible to open up land in the Luliang Mountainous Area on a large scale, and use the cultivation of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops with high yields per mu to meet their own food needs.

The operation of transporting materials lasted for more than ten days before the materials piled up on the riverside were transported to the base area. When the last group of supplies was sent up the mountain by the cableway, everyone in the base area cheered loudly.

Seeing so much food and other supplies being sent to the mountains, the displaced people in the base area were very excited. It's useless to say anything in this year, and those who have food are mothers. Everyone looked at the mountains of grain. Not to mention how down-to-earth it is.

After a few days of counting and counting, with the efforts of dozens of employees in Far East, all the materials were finally put into storage and sealed. Li Ming and the others are also busy with everyone these days, only sleeping a few hours a day, which is very hard. Looking at the mountains of supplies, everyone was very relieved. If these materials are not counted and put into storage. They really can't sleep. This is the foundation of the base area, and without these grains and other materials, the Luliang base area will not survive this winter.

Li Ming and several members of the Standing Committee of the base management committee finally had time to sit together for a meeting. Lu Yongren is in charge of the warehousing and material statistics in the base area. First of all, he gave a report on the storage of grain and other materials in the base areas and the statistics of the materials looted during the operation.

"The materials seized by the various brigades of the detachment in this operation have basically been counted, and the materials have now been put into storage. Among them, more than 15 million taels of silver, more than 300,000 taels of gold, more than 20,000 tons of white flour, mixed noodles, rice, millet, beans and other grains, and more than 2,000 mules, horses, and cattle. In addition, there are a large number of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, gems and jade, silk cloth, porcelain and lacquerware, iron and copper, agricultural tools and cooking utensils and other materials, we estimate according to the current market price of the Ming Dynasty, the total value is about more than 8 million taels of silver. ”

Everyone listened to his report, and they were very excited, and other materials were nothing, mainly the more than 20,000 tons of grain, which was too powerful. It is estimated that the Jin merchants, rice shops and official warehouses in several counties in the Jinzhong Basin have been swept away by the Far East.

In this year, you don't panic when you have food in your hand, the key is that no matter how much money you have, you can't buy food. Rice shops and large households have held on to their grain and have fried it to sky-high prices, and they can't buy it yet.

Li Ming nodded, turned his head to Lin Jinghua next to him and asked, "Old Lin, how are the preparations for the cave in the base area?" ”

Lin Jinghua is currently in charge of the infrastructure construction work in the base area, and after listening to Li Ming's words, he said with a smile: "All the infrastructure construction in the base area is built in accordance with the plan formulated before. In the past few months, we have searched for several suitable sites in the vicinity and dug nearly 2,000 caves in total. Including living areas, office areas, storage areas, industrial areas and military barracks. The living quarters of the caves we built were planned in accordance with the brigade system, which was convenient for the management of the displaced people in the base area.

Because the time is relatively tight, the conditions of the caves in the living area of the displaced people are relatively simple, each cave has three layers of shop, and 50 people can sleep when squeezed, and now most of the caves can be occupied, but wintering should be no problem. Each living area of the displaced brigade has public toilets, canteens, drinking water areas, coal storage points and warehouses.

In addition, the conditions of the caves in the office area, storage area, industrial area, and army barracks are relatively good, and the heating situation in winter is also good. We are working hard to complete all the caves before winter. However, the demand for coal for heating in winter is relatively large, and there is still a big gap in the coal storage points we have built in various residential areas, and we are stepping up the storage and transportation of coal to ensure that the winter heating coal in various living areas is used. ”

Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "During this time, I led a group of displaced people and militia to reclaim some wasteland on the slopes around the base area, and it is expected that nearly 10,000 acres of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be planted next spring. However, the groundwater resources here are average, and we have drilled many wells in various areas, but only 60% of the wells can produce water, and we may face certain difficulties in diverting water for irrigation of crops next year.

I suggest that more investment in irrigation facilities should be made before the onset of winter. These days, I have also made a plan to renovate the agricultural infrastructure, establish water sources in several areas with abundant groundwater in the nearby mountainous areas, use neat units as the power of pumps, and establish a perfect farmland irrigation system to ensure the irrigation of 10,000 acres of farmland. Once implemented, this plan will also address the future demand for industrial and residential water in the base area. (To be continued......)
