The ice and snow on the roof melted into water, and water dripped down from the roof drop by drop.
"call!"
Li Yu was awakened by water dripping outside the window.
He sat up from the bed and stretched greatly.
Kakakaka——
The spine made a crisp sound.
Riding in the car the past few days had been too tiring, and last night was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had.
I looked down at my watch, it was already half past eight in the morning.
I slept for eleven hours, which is considered a full sleep.
He stood up with satisfaction, opened the window, and faced the cold air from the window.
Tick tock!
A drop of snowdrops fell on the sill outside the window, causing a small vortex.
He stared at the raindrops blankly, thinking of something in his mind.
Water.
In the last days, there will be a shortage of food, water, and morality...
He still remembered those days when water was scarce, but he thought of the mountain pond reservoir dug in the base and the several reservoirs at the bottom of the mountain.
He felt much more at ease.
Those water sources, even if it doesn't rain for half a year, are enough for the daily use of their camphor tree base.
Last time, I listened to Anya's advice and upgraded the irrigation system in the base, and reconfigured the staple food planting ratio in the Da Zhangshu base.
By reducing the relatively large water demand of rice to a reasonable proportion, the water demand for grain cultivation in Da Zhangshu Base will be even lower.
Rubbing his face vigorously with his hands, Li Yu woke up a lot.
Wear a towel and go downstairs to wash up.
"Good morning, City Lord."
"Good morning, City Lord."
People met on the road greeted Li Yu one after another.
Li Yu replied all morning.
When he came to the sink, Li Yu saw Lao Bi brushing his teeth and his mouth was full of foam.
"Good morning, City Lord."
Lao Bi brushed his teeth and said bubblingly after seeing Li Yu.
Li Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to signal.
Then I got some hot water and was about to brush my teeth.
I saw Lao Bi holding an enamel cup, pouring water into his mouth, and then slurping.
Gudong!
I swallowed all the water with the toothpaste foam in it in one gulp.
This stunned Li Yu.
Is there still such an operation?
Lao Bi saw Li Yu looking at him and said with some embarrassment:
"When I was young, I liked to smell the aroma of toothpaste, but later I developed this bad habit. Hehe."
Li Yu nodded, said nothing, and brushed his teeth slowly.
After washing up.
He returned upstairs, put on his new combat uniform and went downstairs to get some food.
Oil City Canteen.
Li Yu filled a large bowl of rice porridge and two pieces of bread and sat on a dining table similar to a university cafeteria.
There were not many people in the cafeteria at this time, only a few here and there.
Li Yu drank rice porridge and ate noodle cakes. Along with the rice porridge, he felt a sense of solidity.
Thinking of Su Qian who was making porridge for him just now, and seeing Li Yu's trembling look, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny.
After breakfast, Li Yu came to the conference room to contact his second uncle at the headquarters base.
"Xiaoyu, Dingshan and the others have already set off and are expected to arrive at Oil City at ten o'clock noon."
"Well, I understand. Counting the days, it's only ten days until the New Year. You ask my second uncle to prepare a batch of new year's goods, which can be distributed to everyone by then." Li Yu said.
When the second uncle heard this, he was silent for a few seconds and then said: "That's okay, but there's just one problem. Can the collaborators send it?"
"I think our base cannot support people in vain. Now that the fourth outer city wall has been built, although the buildings in the city are still under construction, the building materials accumulated before are not enough.
I'm thinking of letting them go out to search for building materials now, and restart the mission mode of searching for supplies..."
Li Yu thought for a while and then asked: "The temperature here in Oil City is one degree above zero. What's the temperature over there at the headquarters?"
The second uncle looked at the temperature measuring instrument hanging on the wall and replied: "Seven degrees above zero."
"Now that the temperature has risen, let them go out and do other things quickly. Don't just spend them in the fourth outer city. There is not much manpower there..."
Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Okay, has the greenhouse in the fourth outer city started to be built?"
The second uncle replied: "We have started working on it a long time ago, and Anya is also transforming the soil."
"Soil modification? What do you mean?" Li Yu asked curiously.
"As for the agricultural professor Zhang Qiwu, he proposed a soil improvement. I just said it wrong. It was soil improvement. He said that our current soil needs to be mixed with some organic fertilizers. He showed me a soil improvement
I didn’t understand the plan, but Anya said it could improve food productivity, so I asked them to do it." The second uncle replied.
Li Yu grasped an important point.
Can increase food production.
So he said: "Leave professional things to professional people and let them do it. As long as the result is good, then you can do it."
The second uncle nodded and said: "Yeah, I think so too."
"Also, what do you think about the New Year's goods? You haven't answered my question yet. Do the collaborators need to prepare?"
Li Yu pondered for a while and then said:
"Be prepared. After all, we are also from our Da Zhangshu base. Our base has developed very smoothly this year. It's a happy occasion.
However, the quantity should be smaller. I heard that my second uncle made candies from the white sugar traded from Southern Paradise, so I’ll give you three candies.”
"One piece of candy only weighs five grams, three pieces of candy only weighs fifteen grams, and with thousands of collaborators, the total amount of candy is less than one hundred kilograms. I remember that one transaction between Southern Paradise and us amounted to twenty tons of white sugar.
"
The second uncle said hesitantly: "Just three? Isn't it too picky?"
Li Yu said with a smile: "This is given to them for free. They don't have to work or use material transactions to give it. Why can they say they are stingy?"
"Besides, candy is a high-calorie food. Although it is small in size, it can save lives in critical times."
"It would be nice to give it to them."
The second uncle asked again: "What about the non-staff staff, the staff from the outer city, and the New Year's goods for the staff from the inner city?"
Li Yu pondered for a while and then said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's divide it into three levels. In the apocalypse, nothing else is as important as New Year's goods, so just get some snacks."
"I remember there were still a lot of sweet potatoes backlogged in the granary at the base, so I asked my second uncle to take some of them out and make them into dried sweet potatoes, and mix them with candies to form a set."
"In addition, we can get some dried meat. It's not easy for the oil city and the federal garrison in the north. We can get more."
After thinking for a while, the second uncle came up with a plan.
Ten candies for non-staff personnel, twenty candies for outer city personnel, and thirty candies for inner city personnel.
The same goes for dried sweet potatoes.
As for the dried meat, only expatriate non-staff personnel and people from inner and outer cities can enjoy it.
Although non-staff personnel assigned abroad are ranked third among the four levels, after all, it is more difficult to be assigned abroad, so it is normal to be given more benefits.
However, the amount distributed is still based on level.
If you want to enjoy better benefits in the Da Zhangshu Base, you must complete tasks and make greater contributions before you can upgrade and enjoy better benefits.
A clear promotion mechanism provides a relatively fair competitive environment.
After talking about this, the second uncle asked:
"Xiaoyu, when are you going to come back? You have to come back during the Chinese New Year, right?"
"certainly!"
Li Yu continued: "I will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year. Due to various reasons last year, we did not hold a banquet. We must come back to hold one this year."
"This year has not been easy, but our base has taken a big step. Grain production has increased steadily, the oil city has stabilized, and the Northern Federation has also won. We must celebrate!"
The second uncle smiled and said: "Yes, you and the third child have worked hard. It's not like me who stays here at the headquarters and is lazy."
Li Yu shook his head and said:
"No, uncle, you are taking care of a large stall at the headquarters and developing it steadily, so that I don't have to worry about anything when I go out. It's already very good."
The second uncle was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Then when do you plan to come back?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said: "I originally planned to stay here for a few more days. Let's do this. I will come back with my third uncle tomorrow."
When the second uncle heard Li Yu say he would come back tomorrow, he said with a smile on his face: "That's a good relationship."
"Well, let's stop talking here. If there is anything else, I'll talk about it after I get to the base."
"OK."
Li Yu put down the headset, stood up, and walked out of the conference room.
Seeing armored vehicles and missile vehicles parked outside, Li Yu thought for a while.
We certainly cannot take all of these missile vehicles and armored vehicles back.
With the Northern Federation taking over, it won't be long before they start planning to build the trading bazaar with Southern Paradise.
Oil City must leave some relatively powerful heavy firepower.
Otherwise, if there is trouble in the Northern Federation, it will be too far to send missile vehicles from the Da Zhangshu Base.
So he approached Lao Luo and Ju Tianrui and asked them to keep half of the missile vehicles and armored transport vehicles.
And asked Lao Luo to keep a few gunners here.
Heavy artillery is not something that can be learned simply by learning it. Especially if you want to shoot it accurately enough, you must go through professional learning before using it.
Ju Tianrui was naturally happy when he heard that the missile vehicle was to be kept.
Originally, there were two heavy artillery pieces in Oil City. If two missile vehicles could be left behind, and each missile vehicle was equipped with two heavy artillery pieces, then the number of heavy artillery pieces in Oil City could reach six.
Six heavy guns, although that sounds like a small number.
However, the power of heavy artillery is huge. It is as strong as a wall as thick as the Northern Federation. Even if it is bombarded with several rounds, it can still be blown open.
Its power can be imagined.
"By the way, Lao Luo, when we return to Da Zhangshu Base, I won't go with you. I will go back by helicopter tomorrow. Then you can lead the team back to Da Zhangshu Base." Li Yu said to Lao Luo.
"Okay, no problem." Lao Luo nodded.
Li Yu turned to Ju Tianrui and said: "Lao Ju, you still need to watch over here in Oil City. When the trading market is built, I will let you return to the headquarters."
Ju Tianrui felt that what Li Yu said was somewhat familiar.
It seems that last time, he was told to return to the Da Zhangshu Base after finishing the Northern Federation.
Last time, it seemed like they said they would let him go back after the blizzard disaster was over.
Now Li Yu said that he should go back after the construction of the trading market is completed...
Ju Tianrui was already a little indifferent. To build a large trading market, it could not be built in a few days or even a few weeks.
Even with the support of the Northern Federation and Southern Paradise, the construction period will still be calculated in months.
Ju Tianrui, who had already figured it out, said, "Okay, City Lord."
Li Yu looked at Ju Tianrui, patted Ju Tianrui on the shoulder and said:
"Lao Ju, you are lucky."
Suddenly, two people passed by.
It was Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue.
"City Lord."
"City Lord Li."
The two said to Li Yu.
Li Yu smiled and nodded and asked, "Xiao Jun, what are you taking Ma Yingxue to do?"
Xiao Jun scratched his head and said, "I'll take her to meet my uncle."
Xiao Jun's uncle is a jackal.
Just as Jackal followed his third uncle back to Oil City, it was only right for Xiao Jun to take his girlfriend there to meet his elders.
"Well, you go ahead." Li Yu nodded.
"OK."
Li Yu looked at the backs of the two people leaving, then looked at Ju Tianrui, only to see that Ju Tianrui was still looking at Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue.
After guessing for a while, he said with a smile: "Lao Ju, have you ever been married before?"
Ju Tianrui was silent for a few seconds and replied: "I have a fiancée, but after the apocalypse broke out,..."
Hearing this, Li Yu suppressed the smile on his face and said with emotion:
"Fate plays tricks on people."
"However, Lao Ju, if you like a girl, whether she is from the Northern Federation, Southern Paradise, or our base, as long as you like her, I can be your matchmaker!"
He wanted to help Ju Tianrui solve his personal problems.
Only when a man is married and has children will he have sustenance and weaknesses.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yu has always admired Ju Tianrui.
He is steady yet flexible, and he is worthy of being a battalion commander.
He feels relieved to have him in charge in the oil city.
Hearing what Li Yu said, a woman's figure flashed in Ju Tianrui's mind.
But he shook his head and said: "Not yet..."
The words just fell.
There was a tsk tsk tsk sound coming from the side.
Lao Luo said with some sourness: "I don't want it, I want it. City Lord, when will you arrange a wife for me?"
Li Yu looked at Lao Luo's thief look.
He teased: "Luo Sanchang, Luo Sanchang, you are..."
The old thief Luo smiled and said: "City Lord, I think Lan Guifang is good."
"Lan Guifang? Which one is it?" Li Yu asked curiously.
Lao Luo said with a smile: "In our oil city, Sister Lan is responsible for planting and logistics. She is a non-staff member."
Li Yu thought for a long time before he remembered this person.
When he was in Oil City on weekdays, he rarely saw her.
So he smiled and said: "How do you..."
As he said this, he saw Lao Luo's face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he immediately turned around and turned his back to a woman passing behind him.
Lao Luo turned his back to Sister Lan and was so nervous that he exploded.
Li Yu looked at Lao Luo's cowardly appearance, and then at the muscular woman passing by.
It is impossible to imagine how powerful it was when Lao Luo ordered the gunners to fire.
A strong contrast was formed.
Ju Tianrui and Li Yu couldn't stop laughing when they saw Lao Luo like this.
When Sister Lan reached the end of the building, Lao Luo turned his head mischievously and looked at Sister Lan's back with admiration.
Li Yu smiled and said: "Lao Luo, you really like it?"
"right!"
Lao Luo said without hesitation: "This figure is healthy and easy to give birth to, and her temper is to my liking!"
Li Yu seldom interacted with Lan Guifang, but Ju Tianrui had dealt with Sister Lan. Sister Lan had a quack spirit, was very cheerful, generous, and straightforward.
So he joked: "Lao Luo's spring is coming."
Li Yu pondered for a while and said:
"Since you really like it, then I will make it happen for you. Ju Tianrui, please ask Lan Guifang to come over later."
Ju Tianrui smiled and said, "Okay."
Lao Luo was excited.
With the city lord taking action, who dares to disobey!
hey-hey!
I, Lao Luo, am finally getting rid of being single!
