The winter in the mountainous area is not very cold, which is a bit beyond Ye Kai's expectation.
This time when he came to build roads, Ye Kai's preparations were relatively complete. The whole helicopter was loaded with various materials that were ready to take root in the mountainous area for a long time. [..com]
It took five or six hours from being watched by people after getting off the plane to finally living in a spacious military tent, and this included the time when Ye Kai and others had dinner with Ximen Bao at home.
It should be said that the food eaten at Ximen Bao's house was quite good, including dried game, bacon, vegetables grown by oneself, pickled dried radishes, multigrain porridge, and Ximen Bao's own brew.
of sweet potato wine.
During the meal, several middle-aged people came from the village, all of whom were in charge of affairs in the village. Under the introduction of the old man Ximen Bao, everyone got to know Ye Kai and knew that this man was a very important person.
This time I came to stay permanently to help build roads in Shengwang Village.
Ye Kai observed that these people did not seem to be very enthusiastic about road construction, but they still welcomed Ye Kai to represent the government in Shengwang Village. After all, he was the highest-ranking representative in the village.
The person sent here by Comrade Ye Xiangan, the No. 2 chief, is also his grandson. What a great honor this must be.
Although Shengwang Village is basically isolated from the world, radios and other equipment can still be used, and people in the village are not ignorant of things outside.
The helicopter did not stay for too long. After all, the military affairs were quite troublesome. Zhong Liyu also followed the helicopter and diverted to Mingzhu City and then returned to the East China Shen Yun Base.
After seeing the environment in Shengwang Village, she felt that it was better than she had imagined. At least, although it was closed, it was basically a self-sufficient closed environment. The village was mainly closed, and it was not extremely miserable.
The poor mountains and rivers.
While eating, Ye Kai also learned something about the situation in Shengwang Village.
Although this is just a village, the population is not small, with more than 4,000 people. This number surprised Ye Kai. He had never seen a small mountain village with such a large population.
Generally speaking, judging from the mountain villages he had heard about, many of them had a population of dozens of households or even a few households. Like this large mountain village with a population of more than 4,000, and it was also a very closed mountain village, it really made him feel a little shocked.
.
The buildings in the village are mainly made of stone, with bamboo and wood roofs built on the stone foundation, covered with fine bamboo branches and other things, and there are some other things that are hard to understand.
It's actually quite sturdy and durable.
There are also some homes that are built with small bamboo buildings or cabins. Anyway, they are made of local materials according to convenience. Generally speaking, stone buildings can only account for less than a quarter of the total.
.
Ye Kai walked around the village and felt that everyone was very enthusiastic. Even though there was nothing good at home, they were still willing to bring out the little game they had to entertain guests. This moved Ye Kai more.
So during this round, Ye Kai and others basically distributed all the candies, chocolates and other gadgets they brought over to the children.
Old Ximen Bao can basically be regarded as the most authoritative figure in the village. Under his guidance, Ye Kai basically has a sufficient understanding of the village.
All in all, this is a semi-enclosed paradise, but the life of the people in the paradise is not as beautiful as described in The Peach Blossom Spring.
Inside the military tent, Li Er and Feng Tianyi were tinkering with those weird equipment.
The tent was very large and was built entirely according to field standards. It was divided into five rooms. Three of them were bedrooms for Ye Kai and the others, one was the living room, and the largest one was thirty square meters.
The room can be regarded as a conference room. In the future, Village Chief Ye will use it if he wants to convene a small meeting on important tasks in the village.
"Second Young Master, are you really going to take root in the mountainous area?" Feng Tianyi asked Ye Kai while fiddling with the battery and arranging the wiring of the small lights in the tent.
This time Ye Kai came over, the second old man gave him a lot of good things. The top of the tent is a detachable solar panel. If the weather is good, five or six hours of sunshine during the day will be enough to support the lighting for the entire night.
This is especially rare in small mountain villages where there is no electricity at all.
The biggest problem in the small mountain village is that there is no electricity. Regarding this situation, Ye Kai also studied this situation carefully. If the wire is pulled in directly from the outside, the project will be huge and cannot be changed in the short term, so he has thought of other ways to solve it.
this practical question.
Hearing Feng Tianyi's question at this time, Ye Kai said, "Do you think I am a person who can live with leisure?"
"It's not like that." Feng Tianyi immediately shook his head and denied.
After staying with Ye Kai for a long time, both Feng Tianyi and Li Er can feel that Ye Kai is not too arrogant, does not have many bad habits of the yamen, and speaks very casually, so everyone usually chats
There are no scruples either.
When Ye Kai asked Feng Tianyi, Feng Tianyi explained the reason for his inference, "If you want to persist for a long time, there is no need for you, Second Young Master Ye, to bring a tent. I believe you need to find a house in the village.
The problem is still not big.
Ye Kai smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Feng Tianyi's judgment.
"But with all due respect, road construction is not something that can be effective in a short time..." Rei Er said.
"What Li Er said is correct, at least everyone thinks so." Ye Kai said with a smile.
After hearing this, Feng Tianyi and Li Er felt a little surprised. Looking at Ye Kai's expression at this time, it seemed that he was on vacation, rather than taking root in the mountainous area to build roads. Could it be that he was really just transitioning here?
That’s it? But if that’s the case, how should I explain it to Mr. Ye, and how should I explain it to everyone who knows about this matter?
It is unlikely that people from the Old Ye family would be dishonest in their words?!
"Could it be that Second Young Master Ye is not here to build roads?" Li Er asked with some suspicion.
"That's not what you mean." Ye Kai smiled and said, "Rather than coming to build roads, it's better to say that I helped them move mountains."
When asked about the details, Ye Kai laughed and said nothing. No matter how hard Li Er and Feng Tianyi tried to interrogate them, they refused to say another word.
"You will know in a few days. I think I will stay here for less than a month." Ye Kai was very confident when he said this, making people wonder where he got his confidence.
If it is only for a month, then living in a tent is probably a better choice.
To be honest, Li Er and Feng Tianyi are not very interested in the idea of taking root in the mountainous area. After all, they are highly qualified agents, not real road construction workers. Putting them here is simply a waste of professional talents.
The first night that Ye Kai and the others came to Shengwang Village, they spent it in silence.
When it got dark, Ye Kai also led Li Er and Feng Tianyi around the village.
There are black lamps everywhere, and occasionally where there is light, they are lit with limestone lamps, which are commonly known as calcium carbide. When water is added, a gas with the scientific name acetylene is produced. It is led out through a long and thin iron pipe and ignited directly.
Can be used for lighting.
Apart from the slightly unpleasant smell, this kind of thing is very convenient and durable. In fact, from the 1980s to the early 1990s, there were such stone lamps in night markets in many places in the country.
This is more convenient than using electricity. After all, when working in the field, you need to pull wires to use electricity.
But the calcium carbide lamp is much more convenient, you can carry it and go, there is not so much trouble, and it costs almost no money. You just need to go to the place where calcium carbide is produced to get some.
However, these things are all brought back from the mountains, carried back in a backpack, and then stored and used slowly.
"This is what our hometown looked like before there was electricity." Feng Tianyi couldn't help but say something while looking at the night scene here.
Ye Kai nodded. In fact, when there is no electricity, everywhere is similar. Everyone has their own solutions, such as kerosene lamps, gasoline lamps, pine oil lamps, etc. Basically, they just adapt to local conditions and use whatever is convenient.
If nothing is convenient, then going to bed early is also a good choice.
However, this makes it difficult to implement family planning work, so the more remote the place, the higher the birth rate. After all, at night, everyone has nothing to do except work hard to create people.
.
"Actually, I think if electricity is connected here, the big problem will be solved." Reiji suddenly suggested.
What he said is correct. Instead of investing huge amounts of money to build roads, it is more practical to solve the problem of electricity first. With electricity, many things can be done. For example, everyone will not be idle at night.
, and using electric energy, you can also open some small processing factories, use the resources in the village to process some agricultural and sideline products, and sell them. This is the fastest way to alleviate poverty.
Of course, traffic is indeed a big problem, and this is unavoidable.
"Actually, my focus is not just on one Holy King Village." Ye Kai said to the two people in the cold night wind, "What I want to consider is the way out for the entire Pinyang County and even the entire Lingchuan area.
The problem is, if we want to open a lifeline to them, we must use some extraordinary means."
"Then it's impossible to repair the road within a month, right?" Reiji expressed his doubts again.
As for the one month period mentioned by Ye Kai, any normal person would doubt it.
"Why is it impossible?" Ye Kai said with a smile, "I said a month, it won't be more than a month. You have known me for so long, when have you ever seen me fire off a cannon?"
"..." Although Li Er didn't say anything, he began to wonder in his heart. Could it be that Er Shao Ye was really sure of this?
No matter how you say it, it's impossible. Even building a road of several hundred meters in the city would take months, let alone here. Roads around mountains are neither easy to build nor expensive.
For a month, it was a bit of a dream.
Can it be done in one month? Let’s take a guess. (To be continued!)
