Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 340 Short-term goals
With such crude equipment, it was of course difficult to catch prey, and they were already hungry. Their life was more difficult than Song Yan's side. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and they were all warriors. The energy was still there, so they Got through it.

Zhu Xuefeng was also ashamed. He didn't expect that the boss, a stingy man, would let more than 20 people come over, but he didn't give him two days of food. Although the tickets he was given at the time were not much, the money was not less. After thinking about it, he still didn't ask. These days, even the troops can't get food without votes.

The two parties gathered together, with a total of sixty-three combatants and sixty-six non-combatants. This garrison could not accommodate them at all.

More than a hundred people were making fire and cooking at the station, but they were in an orderly manner. It seemed that the usual training was going well. Zhu Xuefeng turned around and said to Song Yan and the others.

"Everyone has been hungry for so long, and their stomachs are not in good condition. I tell you, you must not eat too much, eat little by little, and don't be too heavy on oil or water. If your stomach is broken, you will fall behind in subsequent actions."

"Yes, we will inform you immediately."

I took the two brothers Liang Yan and Zhou Dayong as well as Song Yan and Li Xiaojun to the small house that was barely a house for a small meeting.

"Today is a rather special day. Our team has finally gathered together. Now that we have gathered together, I have to make arrangements for the following work to solve everyone's problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as our development and growth."

These are the concerns of the more than 100 people outside, and we must have a plan for the future.

"First of all, Song Yan, as the commander, you are responsible for the management and combat command of this team."

"Just one requirement. We are in a foreign country and we must unite and become one. I know that you are from different armies and are very capable."

"The old forces are entrenched in the south, and 80% of the wealth is concentrated there. Our ultimate goal is not that. We are too weak at this stage, so we just have to make plans first."

"Yes!" Song Yan spread out a map and pointed at it.

Seeing everyone nodding in approval, Zhu Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief. This team must be in the hands of absolutely trustworthy people.

"The three of you are responsible for cooperating with Commander Song Yan in managing the team. Many of these people have been squad leaders and so on, so they all need to be put to good use. You can discuss the specific arrangements yourself and report to me tomorrow."

Song Yan pointed at the map, probably wanting to continue reporting on further forces and information. Zhu Xuefeng raised his hand to stop. It was not needed yet. He would deal with the situation at hand first. He stood up and looked at a few people.

Song Yan had the highest position among the combatants here, and no one had any objection.

"We are here now, not far from home. Let me first talk about the information we have obtained during this period."

"This area is currently ruled by various ethnic groups, and there is no government influence. Of course, this is mainly due to the vast land, sparse population, barrenness and chaos. This has been the case for many years."

Zhu Xuefeng, who had always been pleasant-looking, became very serious. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and several people subconsciously straightened their chests.

Zhu Xuefeng also knew that the population and wealth were mainly concentrated in the south, which had always been barren and fought constantly, with dilapidated roads and no railways. But the south was not the place he should go, so he could just live here secretly.

"But don't use your ability on your own people. The team will definitely expand in the future. I won't stop anyone who wants to make progress, but let me see his contribution!"

Song Yan spoke eloquently, and it seemed that he had really done a lot of homework. The intelligence in the area was very clear, and the distribution of the forces was also very detailed.

"Commander Song, please tell us about the current situation, and let's analyze it together."

This was discussed with Song Yan and Li Xiaojun. Zhou Dayong and Zhou Xingguo didn't know it. They didn't understand it, Zhu Xuefeng explained.

Liang Yan looked at her senior brother, as if she didn't recognize him. Is this dark-faced young man really the cheerful senior brother from before?

"The location where we are now is called Mizina. It used to be the location of the Three Divisions of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, a large number of families in this small town are descendants of those who came here hundreds of years ago. There are now 327 people, including 121 young people and young adults. There are 75 men. The principal of the town is named Cui, a descendant of Sansi..."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. These three people had analyzed it when they were in Xiangjiang. This settlement has evolved over hundreds of years. The town has been dilapidated. In the past, there were more than a thousand people at the most, which was considered a very powerful force in this area. Only then could it be preserved.

"There are some villages nearby, which are the residences of local people. They range from dozens to hundreds of people. They rarely go down the mountain and live in separate villages."

"Our goal is to establish an autonomous region. How big we can build it depends on our capabilities, but now we try not to expand too far south or stimulate the old military groups."

"Commander Song is right. Our ancestors have been struggling here for hundreds of years and it is difficult to gain a foothold. Now that we are here, we will not leave this time."

"So according to the plan, our first step is to take root here, win the support of this town, and then close these villages."

A few people nodded. This shouldn't be too difficult. They have the same roots and species as the town, and now they get along well with each other. It shouldn't be difficult to get support. Today, they have strong armed forces. It should take some time to stabilize this area.

"This area also has the mountains here. There are no forces currently occupying it, so it can be easily taken. The land here is vast and sparsely populated. There are only mountains and forests. No one will fight for it."

Zhu Xuefeng had been interested in this place for a long time. Others didn't know it, but he knew it clearly, so he made this plan.

There is a huge rare earth mining area in this place, with a complete range of types and huge storage capacity, as well as undiscovered gold mines, copper mines, etc.

This place is extremely rich in mineral resources, ranking first in lead production in Asia, second in the world in tungsten production, fourth in Asia in copper production, and accounting for 2% of the world's oil reserves.

It is also extremely rich in water resources and wood resources, with theoretical hydropower reserves exceeding 6000 million kilowatts; the production of high-end teak boards accounts for more than 70% of the world's production.

After learning metal physics and engaging in material research, Zhu Xuefeng immediately thought of this. It is considered a deserted land and these will not be disclosed to everyone for the time being.

Of course, there are many other minerals, but no one has discovered them yet, and no one knows about them. Rare earth minerals are very cheap now, and no one realizes the importance of this thing.

"From here to the south, all the way to Jiesha, this area is along rivers, and there are also many plains that can be developed into grain-producing areas. This is one of the key areas and the foundation for future survival."

Now that all the forces in this place have been cleared out by the push-out operation before and after, it is the window period that is most suitable for occupation. If God does not take it, he will be blamed.

There will be vast high-quality arable land along both sides of the river here in the future. This arable land will be used to grow rice, which is enough to feed 300 million people. The arable land resources are very rich. Even if only part of the land is cultivated in future generations, it will still be able to feed more than 50 million people and export a large amount of food.

But now, due to years of war and tribal fighting, this disorderly land is in a state of desolation and waste. Zhu Xuefeng firmly believes that under the governance of the hard-working Huaguo people, this place will usher in vitality.

A few people nodded. Food is of course the most important thing. Everyone has suffered enough from hunger. Of course, food production areas have the highest priority.

"Our task this year is to build a solid rear here, and then push forward to the west and north. At the same time, we must speed up the connection with home. This is crucial for our future development and growth."

Backing against a big tree is of course the best choice. Everyone can understand that the straight-line distance is not far, but it is difficult to build a road. The two brothers Zhou Dayong have not seen the plan and are a little confused.

"Of course, we have to eat one bite at a time. There are too few of us now and we can't do many things. So we need to unite all the forces that can be united, starting from this small town."

"Song Yan, please contact the person in charge of the town tomorrow and let's discuss cooperation."

"Yes."

"There are a lot of tools to be transported this time. Although there are no large machinery, it should be possible to build a simple lumberyard, brick and tile factory, and cement factory. Let's hire them to first build the camp, family area, factory, farm, The breeding farm is set up. It’s only July now, so we can open up a lot of wasteland..."

"In the early stage, we must rely on these tribal leaders to mobilize their tribes to participate in our construction, pay them enough remuneration, and protect their labor remuneration." "In the later stage, we will rely on these bottom workers..."

Zhu Xuefeng described the layout he had been planning for a long time bit by bit. Hearing several people's breathing quicken and their eyes gleaming, Liang Yan was dumbfounded.

...

"Okay, our short-term goals have been clearly stated. Now I will talk about a few more immediate matters. After that, you can make arrangements."

"First, hold a gun ceremony immediately to arm everyone."

"Second, after the gun training is completed, accommodation and duty will be arranged to ensure safety."

"Third, supplies will be delivered tonight, and arrangements will be made for their reception and management."

"The last one, those who need to welcome their family members, you have to make arrangements quickly. I hope that before the end of the year, anyone who is willing to come can spend the New Year here. I promise that as long as you obey the arrangements and work hard, no one will go hungry."

...

Liang Yan picked up an M16 from the unpacked box and handed it to her senior brother in military uniform. Zhu Xuefeng took it and solemnly awarded it to the young man in front of him.

"Take the gun!" The soldier took it with both hands in a mood.

"A gun is also a responsibility. If you pick it up, you must protect our home and the people. Tell me if you can do it."

"Yes!" The soldier put his feet together and saluted.

"Okay, go over there and collect military supplies."

Everyone lined up and received weapons and military supplies one by one. After a while, there was a neat team in the camp.

"Boss, it's time to lecture, the family members are all here."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. This step was necessary to establish his position. He picked up a small square stool and walked towards the neatly arranged team.

"I know everyone is hungry, don't worry, these things are here, it can't escape!"

Zhu Xuefeng opened the ceremony with a smile. Facing the laughing soldiers and their families, he gestured and the team became quiet.

"Today, more than a hundred of us are here, and some of you may not know exactly what we are here for. Let me take this opportunity to tell you something."

Sixty-three people were neatly arranged below, as well as their family members who were barely lined up. Zhu Xuefeng was a little excited when he saw the soldiers in well-equipped suits. These were all seeds, and he had to rely on them to implement his ideas.

"I, Zhu Wentao, as the top leader of this team, am here to tell you that we are here to open up a new world, bid farewell to the past of not having enough to eat, and live a good life from now on."

"From now on, we must unite as one and build our own home. Here, there will be fields and jobs."

Looking at the agitated family members below, Zhu Xuefeng coughed, and the crowd slowly became quiet again.

"Now I ask you, do you want to be full?
"Think! Think! Think!"

"Can you endure hardship!"

"Can! Can! Can!"

"Well, as long as everyone works hard, I guarantee that every household will have their own beautiful house and their own farmland, and no one will go hungry."

"Of course, if you are lazy and don't want to do anything, then you can only live in the woods and starve. Tell me, do you have such a person?"

"No! No! No!"

"Okay, since you all believe in me, I promise you that you will use your own hands to create a better life than you can imagine, so please wait and see!"

"I don't want to take up too much of everyone's time. I know everyone is hungry. Let's dismiss now and let's start dinner."

"Senior brother, you can really shout in vain, so many people make you dumbfounded."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will definitely do what I say. When the time comes, you will know that none of my words are empty words."

"Senior brother, you looked so impressive just now."

Zhu Xuefeng smiled indifferently, "Junior sister, haven't you always wanted to ask me what kind of top-secret mission this is? You have also seen it. This is it. We must take root here and live a good life, getting better and better."

Liang Yan nodded, "But why come here? Aren't you living a good life in the capital? You don't have to worry about food and clothing. You have a big yard and a beautiful girl. You are similar to those big men in the past." What a difference."

"Swallow, you don't know, this place used to be ours. We have to come back. Also, the good days in the capital won't last long. In a few years, there will be chaos. We have to find a place to avoid trouble. The place."

"Then you can go to Xiangjiang. Don't you have an industry there? It's much better than here. Aren't the senior uncles and the others all gone there? Everyone is together, and you have some help. It's better than here."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "Xiangjiang is now, and will be for a long time in the future, a world dominated by white men. We can make money there, but if we want to be upright and upright, we still have to start here."

"These things are very complicated, so you don't have to think too much. If you are willing, you can accompany me to build this place."

Liang Yan shook her head. "It's okay to come here for fun, but I don't know how to build. I'm happy to go on adventures with my senior brother. Senior brother, after finishing the work, let's go back to the capital. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite nice to stay in the big courtyard without these things. trouble."

"Okay, originally I wanted to leave right after making arrangements. When the time comes, let's go hunting in the forest, get some game, and have a taste before leaving."

"Let's go eat first, and we'll go to the river to have a look later. Are you going, or are you looking for a place to rest?"

"Of course I'm going. I don't know anyone in this camp, so of course I'll follow my senior brother, but don't always think about leaving me behind."

In the dark night, a few people were walking along the river. There was a road leading to the south. The river was not small. According to the locals, it continued all year round.

"This place is great. It has water and land, but no one is developing it. What do you think about this river?"

"This river separates the east and west. There is only one bridge in this area leading to the east, and there are more undeveloped areas on the east. I suggest that the garrison and the family area should be placed on the east side of the river, which is easier to defend and harder to attack."

Song Yan was the first to put forward his own ideas. Li Xiaojun expressed support.
