Chapter 197 If you want to get rich, build roads first
The property seized from the landlord's old treasure house was allocated according to the original plan. After Wang Laoguai Wang Kai left enough materials and equipment needed for the Cangshui team in a short time, the remaining materials were still piled up with more than a dozen chicken buses.
In addition to a small amount of gold, silver, antiques and wealth, these things are the most common types of jerky meat retrieved from the landlord's house.
"These things were all plundered by Lao Cai, the landlord of Cangshui, from the villagers. Please stay in Cangshui for the soldiers to eat. How suitable is it for us to take them back?" Zhang Ran said.
"What's wrong with it? The Kurashui team is also a team of the detachment, and they are all a family!"
Wang Laoguai Wang Kai smiled with a cunning smile: "And I have left a lot here. It is enough to supplement the soldiers' nutrition for the time being. Besides, when we finish eating, you can also find the captain. When the chickens and rabbits in our chicken farm are out, will you be embarrassed to eat alone in the base area with your brothers? How can you send some Cangshui for your brothers to taste?"
"Oh, you old kidnapper, you're waiting for me here!" Zhang Ran said angrily.
"Old Guai, you have just become the captain of the Kurashui team, and you are so sharp that you want to get the base area cheaper - you are still not a human being!"
Wang Wenping was so thin that he was even more yelling: "Tell me, your Cangshui team should not be the idea of chickens and rabbits in our chicken farms. If you have the ability, raise them yourself - our detachment will be expanded when it comes back. This team is getting bigger and bigger, and we may not necessarily have enough food for ourselves!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Now I am talking to our captain. Where can you guys and cats interrupt? There is no rule at all!"
Wang Laoguai hummed with a crossed waist, and his official power was full of pride. Wang Wenping, Shouhou and others were so angry that his nose was crooked. He scolded Wang Laoguai for turning against his brothers as soon as he was promoted. He was a typical dog-eyed look at people with a low profile.
"Captain Wang!"
After the brothers had enough jokes, Zhang Ran called Wang Laoguai Wang Kai and Huang Hu and other major leaders of the detachment, saying: "Just and joke, although your Cangshui detachment is under the jurisdiction of our detachment, you really can't think of asking me for anything. You still have to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. You have to find a way to start your own business, and usually give the soldiers of the detachment or the villagers in the county. If the main force comes, you can still support them..."
"Don't worry, captain, I know how to do all this, but as technicians, you have to send it to me!" Wang Laoguai said with a pleasing look on his face.
Zhang Ran nodded and then ordered the team to set off.
In addition to Wang Laoguai and Wang Kai and others, the third row of the original detachment sequence, which was led by Wang Kai, was also left in the Cangshui and handed over to Wang Laoguai to dispatch, and also allowed some veterans here to conquer the market.
In addition to these people, the remaining troops, including the independent company composed of the Cang Shui soldiers, set off with the large team back to the base.
In addition to the civilians brought out by Lu Kelangzi and Ren Haifang and others, there were more than a thousand people in the team, and they took more than a dozen chicken buses loaded with jerky and property, and rushed through Cangshui and returned to the base in Yanggou Town.
"Come on, push me!"
"I haven't even been satisfied with pushing it yet. I'll push it for a while before talking about it..."
Wang Wenping and Shawhouhou and others rushed to push several chicken buses that had already installed the bearings processed by Cheng Dongshan Cui Sanyuan and others for fun. Everyone was happy to show their teeth: "Oh, this chicken bus with bearings and no bearings is very different when pushed. It's so light and careless. I can push this car alone for more than 200 kilograms and walk hundreds of miles a day without feeling tired..."
Listening to these guys bragging with joy, Zhang Ran didn't agree at all.
After seeing the era when cars were flying in the sky decades later, he had a lot of bearings to install. The wheels were still logs and the ground. Without tires, he was not even interested in taking a look at them.
Not to mention, he had to check the surrounding terrain with Wang Laoguai, Huang Gui, Hu Lijun and others who were seeing him off all the way to check the surrounding terrain and determine the road construction related matters.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you should have fewer children and build more roads.
Only when transportation develops can more people move out of the land under your feet, and make various outputs better circulate, thereby driving economic development.
Take the current Cangshui for example.
When the coal mine in Longwanggou is mined, it has to be transported to the detachment base, and the fertilizer produced by the detachment base must be transported from the detachment. The grain exchanged for fertilizers and taxed grains are transported back to the base, etc., will face huge difficulties.
If there is no relatively convenient and easy to walk on, suitable for the transportation of the chicken buses built by the detachment with bearings, then a lot of labor costs will be consumed when transporting coal mines and fertilizers!
It is not only time-consuming and inefficient to rely on the people to carry the detachment with their enthusiasm to support the detachment, but it is far less practical than using a chicken bus to push hundreds of pounds at a time.
But if you want to build a road, you will face various problems at any time.
Due to the different times, the specific problems faced by road construction are also different.
For example, after decades, the land will be contracted to households. Once the road is built, it will inevitably occupy the land that has been allocated to the people, which will lead to land occupation compensation, green seedling compensation and other aspects.
In addition to these things, the final part is the labor, consumables cost and other related things involved in road construction.
In this era, what is mentioned above about land occupation compensation and labor costs, etc. can be almost negligible.
After all, the people are enthusiastic about supporting the detachment's various work, and here they are all about what Zhang Ran said, so there will be no obstacles in building a road.
But we are facing new problems!
Once the road is repaired, the coal mine in Longwanggou is already convenient for transportation of various materials and food. However, if the Japanese attack invade, this road will greatly facilitate the Japanese to transport various artillery fire and other things when they advance to the base, posing a huge threat to the safety of the detachment.
Therefore, although the road must be repaired, the route choice of the road is extremely important!
Along the way, Zhang Ran was busy observing the terrain with Wang Laoguai Huang Gui Hu Lijun and others, and finally decided on the specific route for the road construction.
Unlike the requirement of reducing curves and saving miles as much as possible in the road construction decades later.
While the road from Cangshui to Dongjiang is required to save miles, it is more connected with those dangerous places, so that there are dangers to guard along the way.
As the road starts to be built, several dangerous places along the way can be protected and fortifications are also built at the same time. Militias are sent to garrison along the way, control the roads, and form a long-term defense mechanism!
"Then let's make it that way. Along the roads in Cangshui County, Yangjiaoya, Jinniu Gorge, and Shuaichuan River are the three necessary places to pass as important places, to build fortifications and maintain the safety of the traffic roads!"
When the team drove out the Cangshui River, Zhang Ran, who had already kept the terrain along the way, had already kept in mind, and asked Wang Laoguai Huang Gui and Hu Lijun and said in a verbal manner: "Among them, the garrison of the ship-stop river is the top priority!"
Although the Chuan Chuan River is only more than 30 meters wide, the valley is deep enough, and the two sides are now connected by suspension bridges.
During the dry season, you can still surround the river valley to the other side, but if it is in the flood season, then this suspension bridge is the only passage!
"We not only need to build a large number of fortifications on both sides of the suspension bridge, but also strictly guard it. It is best to find a way to block the water and build a dam upstream of the river. On the one hand, we can adjust the water source during drought to irrigate the surrounding crops. When the Japanese army attacks, we can also cut off the suspension bridge, blow up the dam, and use floods to block the Japanese army's passage..."
Zhang Ran said: "The dam building matter must be kept as confidential as possible and do the work of the people well. If the Japanese don't know that we built a dam upstream and wanted to bypass the river valley when the suspension bridge was cut off, we might be able to flood the seven armies!"
"Don't worry, captain, we will definitely explain to the villagers clearly about dam building and will never let the Japanese spies inquire!"
Huang Gui and Hu Lijun nodded repeatedly.
After asking Huang Gui and Hu Lijun to arrange these, Zhang Rancai called Wang Laoguai aside and instructed: "Cangshui is not as high as our Dongjiang River. There are more dangerous land areas than our Dongjiang River. Therefore, while paying attention to the training of the soldiers of the team, we must also strengthen the training of the militias and let the militias cooperate with the team for training and coordination. I will ask the detachment to allocate more mines for you. You can also explore it yourself and let the villagers dig more tunnels when they are free. If the Japanese suddenly come over, our detachment will not be in a hurry to support. You can also use mines and tunnels to deal with the Japanese with the cooperation of the militias..."
Wang Laoguai nodded with a serious expression, indicating that he knew the importance of what Zhang Ran explained.
"Now, you're the only one!"
Seeing Wang Laoguai's expression, Zhang Ran patted his shoulder and said, "Although you are still under my command now, after all, I am in the base area most of the time, and I am definitely not as comprehensive as you know about your Cangshui situation. So when you encounter any emergencies, you have to make your own decisions and learn to solve the problem based on the actual situation of Cangshui - do you understand?"
"Thank you for your trust, captain. I will do my best and will not disappoint you!" Wang Laoguai stood at attention and said with a firm look on his face.
"That's the best!"
Zhang Ran nodded, tried his best to smile and said, "Now you are the team leader, and you can hold the power. If you have the opportunity, find a wife and delay it. I'm afraid you really want to be a bachelor!"
Wang Laoguai blushed and said to Zhang Ran gratefully: "Captain, thank you!"
In the past, because of the lameness, the family was so poor that no woman was willing to follow him. But since Zhang Ran came, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is no longer a problem to find a woman to become a family.
