Chapter 51: The Conversation in Jasmine's Private Room
There is also an entertainment room on the second floor which is a sand table deduction room, with three types of sand tables for sea, land and amphibious operations. With exquisite terrain models and weapon models, you can play simple war games to highly simulated ones.
War chess deduction and various military sandbox games. This is the most popular place for military geeks.
At this moment, the large recreation room and sand table room were brightly lit, and chatter and laughter could be heard from time to time. Wu Nanhai went directly to the private room on the third floor without disturbing the elders inside.
The third floor is full of separate salon rooms - similar to small and medium-sized conference rooms. There are 8 rooms in total. They are salon rooms prepared by the teahouse for seniors to hold private and departmental gatherings. Since its opening, senior groups have often stayed here.
Party and entertainment: The Aboriginal Rights Protection Association and the Women's Federation often hold meetings here. Although Feiyun Society has its own place, it sometimes holds small gatherings here. Occasionally, some elders bring the department's capable naturalized citizens.
The subordinates came here to have fun as a reward.
The private rooms here are specially designed with good sound insulation, good privacy, and a variety of food and beverages. The waiters are all maids below D level selected from the office and are well trained. The waitresses serving on the floor
They all had rings hanging around their waists, and they jingled very melodiously when they walked - it also reminded the elders who were having a secret conversation that a waiter was approaching.
The thoughtful and meticulous service has gradually made this place a major place for private exchanges among elders and a core area for "outside the hospital" activities.
When Nanhai looked at his watch, he entered the purple milkvetch room, a common box of the Committee of Agriculture: several senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture had been playing Three Kingdoms for a long time here, and several other senior officials were sitting on the sofa, smoking hookah and using laptops -
―The teahouse private room is one of the few entertainment venues with full-day power supply and sockets.
Several people greeted him, and he all agreed. Then he came to the small bar in the salon and sat down. The maid serving at the bar saw him sitting down, and without waiting for his instructions, she poured a glass of "" brewed by the Agricultural Committee Brewery.
"Hop Fai" brand gooseberry wine, according to his favorite ratio: a few pieces of ice, one-third wine, then fill it with soda water, and take out a plate of salted peanuts as a snack to go with the wine.
Wan Lihui is sitting next to him, smoking a hookah with squinted eyes - he does not inhale the smoke when smoking a hookah, he just enjoys the atmosphere, and waits until all the smoke in his mouth is exhaled into smoke rings. Wan Lihui is
Then he said: "Old Wu, what do you think of the report my brother made in Jeju?"
Wan Lihuang has been busy promoting the planting of potatoes, citrus and Chinese cabbage in Jeju Island since he came to Jeju Island. Recently, he also started to promote the planting of alfalfa in Jeju Island to meet the needs of the island's animal husbandry. Agriculture is doing very well, especially in Jeju Island.
It was potato cultivation. The first batch of potatoes was sown in the early summer of 1632. By October, the first big harvest of this crop on Jeju Island was ushered in.
Although Wanlihuang only conducted trial planting in the farm fields of Standard Village near Sanseong, Jeju, he still achieved extremely impressive yields - the original potato yield per mu was astonishing. The yield per mu of modern potatoes can reach more than 2 tons. Wanlihuang
Although Huang did not have chemical fertilizers, he knew that plant ash could be used to replace the potassium fertilizer that potatoes needed most. Moreover, what he brought with him were improved seeds from another time and space. Coupled with modern field management methods, the average potato yield per mu in Jeju Island was still
It weighed 900 kilograms. Even according to the standards of the old time and space, this level was enough to pass the standard.
After harvesting a large amount of potatoes, the local naturalized cadres were caught off guard and "didn't know how to store them." Potatoes have a high moisture content. If they are not processed and stored in time, they will rot and deteriorate. Fortunately, there are many places to eat on Jeju Island. Under the instructions of Feng Zongze
, distributing potatoes as the main ration for refugees.
In addition to simple stewing, roasting, etc., we have also specially developed a variety of potato products. Such as potato cakes, potato cold noodles, potato kelp flavored soup and other foods with potatoes as the main ingredient, with a wide variety of seasonings and
With the help of other vegetables, the refugees even felt that they were eating better than the relief dry food they had received before.
Naturally, Feng Zongze had a special regard for this commissioner of the Agriculture Committee and showed great respect for him. He praised the inexperienced Wan Lihuang so much that he didn't know what was going on.
Encouraged by this situation, Wan Lihuang proposed that the potato planting area in Jeju Island should be expanded by 200% and sown twice a year.
In this way, Jeju Island needs more than just potato seedlings. Expanding the sowing area requires a larger seedling cultivation base, facilities for processing and storing harvested potatoes, and more fertilizers—not just potassium fertilizers,
There are also nitrogen fertilizers. Even soil fertilizers and pesticides require a specialized production plant - these all involve expanding the scale of capital investment of the Committee of Agriculture in Jeju Island. He also proposed to build a local seafood processing plant.
Wu Nanhai drank wine: "Xiao Wan, you came just in time. I have read your brother's report carefully. It is very good! It is good that he is so enthusiastic about agricultural affairs in Jeju Island - Lao Feng also gave
I wrote a letter and praised him very much. It’s not easy for him to become famous in less than a year after going to Jeju Island!”
When Wan Lihui heard the leader praising his brother, he couldn't help feeling warm in his chest and said quickly: "He is still relatively young..."
"It's good to be young. Young people should go out and have a try. Don't be careful about the technical support mentioned in the report. I have arranged for people to make a "Jeju Island Agricultural Production Reference Compilation" using materials from the big library.
", let the liner deliver it next time." As Wu Nanhai said, he thought that your brother had taken the lead for Feng Zongze. I am afraid that Feng Zongze was the one who wanted the projects in the report the most.
"I have tried my best to arrange all the materials he applied for. This time, 10 of the short-term trainees who graduated from the agricultural technical class have been specially arranged to go to Jeju Island, so you tell Xiaowan not to worry and just go ahead and do it."
"Thank you, Old Wu." Wan Lihui nodded, feeling a little embarrassed when he thought of the gossip he had with his brother before - Wu Nanhai was really a kind person, and his face felt slightly feverish.
"Why are you thanking me? It's all for work." Wu Nanhai said, "By the way, there are 10 other students majoring in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine in this group of students. Nick will be assigned 6 students, and your brother will keep 4 for himself -
Don’t let Nick take all the people away. This island is not just about horse breeding, but also other aspects of breeding. Breeding animals will be sent soon. These people have also received primary medical training, whether they are people or animals.
He can treat illnesses with his own skills. Although his skills are a bit rough, he is still more professional than the local doctors of time and space."
"I will get it, I will get it." Wan Lihui nodded excitedly, as if his brother's side was bright. Speaking of this, he felt that it was a bit hard to mention a few more projects - after all, Lao Wu also
It was interesting enough, but I couldn't help but mention it, so I hesitated and said, "Do you think the projects mentioned in the letter are possible?"
Wu Nanhai gently tapped his cigar on the Jiangxi Jingdezhen pen washer that was used as an ashtray, letting the long ash fall down, and then said: "These projects should all be implemented. However, the Ministry of Finance said that this year's basic
The construction investment has been used up and must be included in next year's budget. It is said that next year's budget is a bit tight, and our agricultural sector must unite and work hard to achieve it." He emphasized the word "unity".
"Didn't you say that you got more than one million silver from Zheng Zhilong?" Wan Lihui didn't believe it.
"When the cannon was fired, there were thousands of taels of gold. There was a lot of loot, and the money was burned fiercely. When I heard that this time the military expense report came out, Lao Ma and Cheng Dong's faces turned green." Wu Nanhai's gains were vivid, as if he had witnessed them with his own eyes.
As if seeing it, he said, "Besides, there are many places to spend money now, and I heard that the currency system will be reformed next year, which will cost a lot of money..."
Wan Lihui will now notice something. Isn't Wu Nanhai using "emphasis on difficulties" to express that the project his brother wants to take on "has no money"?
"So it's very difficult?" Wan Lihui decided to test Wu Nanhai's true thoughts.
"Try our best to fight for it. We in the Ministry of Agriculture and Light Industry must fight for this piece." Wu Nanhai said decisively, "But you also know that when the Senate reviews the budget, there will be another famine in various departments.
It’s still hard to pass if the budget we submitted is not fully met.”
The words were still very lively, as if they had not been said before. Wan Lihui was quite disappointed. Wu Nanhai felt that the heat was almost over, and said: "I have another idea about this matter, and I want to talk to you about it..."
After seeing off Wan Lihui, who was eager to go back, Wu Nanhai came to the reserved Jasmine private room. On the sofa in a corner of the salon, several senior figures from the financial department that he specially invited today were all present. Wu Nanhai made a gesture, and the waitress
Drinks and snacks were brought, and they immediately got to the point and started chatting.
This is the reason why he came here today to specifically ask Chu Qing to reserve the Jasmine Room: He wants to discuss with several senior financial officials: propose to the Senate to allow state-owned enterprises to issue stocks and bonds. The specific cases are in Hainan Island and Guangzhou
regions, and issues agricultural development bonds of the Ministry of Agriculture and non-cumulative preferred shares of directly affiliated enterprises.
The so-called preference shares, simply put, give shareholders the special right to receive fixed dividends from the company before ordinary shareholders and to receive the remaining assets in the event of bankruptcy and liquidation of the company. However, shareholders generally cannot participate in the company's operating activities.
In fact, it is a form of debt financing.
Wu Nanhai plans to issue non-cumulative preference shares, and can only receive dividends based on the current year's profits. If the company does not perform well that year and cannot receive dividends, the undistributed dividends cannot be accumulated and cannot be repaid in the future. It is equivalent to a non-commitment
