The Planning Institute urgently needs coal from Jiazi Mine. In addition to the blast furnace, the industrial system also has a great demand for various chemical by-products generated during the coking process. The supply of coking coal needs to be expanded just to obtain tar.

Tang Menglong complained - he had long since wanted to stay in the Jiazi Coal Mine, which was completely isolated from the world, but his attempts to make external transfers failed. Except for Jiang Wenli who returned to Linggao for several months before and after giving birth, he had been staying in the mine.

"...I'm almost becoming a coal gangue in Jiazi Coal Mine..." He complained, "I can't remember what my son looks like."

Depending on the situation, Tang Menglong seemed to be waiting for Linggao's call here, so Liu Xiang had to accompany him to chat for a while.

"Chief! Please sign for it!" The person from the confidential department came in to disturb him.

Liu Xiang opened the kraft paper pocket covered with fire paint - it is the latest "two issues and one newspaper": "Qingxing", "Weekly News" and "Linggao Times Internal Edition".

Tang Menglong hasn't seen two magazines and one newspaper for a long time - he hasn't seen the "mouth tongue" for several days since the shipping on the Nandu River stopped.

Liu Xiang took out the "Weekly News" compiled by the internal bbs and handed the others to Tang Menglong.

"Drink! Xiao Liu, after reading it, I looked back and found out that you wrote this article!" Tang Menglong knocked on the front page and said in surprise: "This article is so powerful!"

"Putting ugly! The firepower is not very good. Look at this article, "Wenlanhe can be renamed Banlanhe". Those who are environmentally friendly and have this one, let's not talk about the title, written by Queen Du. This is called combat power!" Liu Xiang also patted the titles of several pages in his hand and said.

"Different, different!" Tang Menglong knew very well that those people, including Queen Du, had strong firepower, but they were menstrual projects on the forum, and they would come every few months. The article written by Comrade Liu in front of him was only analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the star logistics topology and circular logistics topology, as if they were just doing theoretical analysis, but in fact they were directly pointing to the key points, a typical "song of the sage".

"Xiao Liu, what kind of layout do you want?" Tang Menglong asked.

"When I sent this, I also applied to the Planning Institute, hoping to transfer part of the coconut oil and wood industry. After all, these are local raw materials. Instead of transporting raw materials to Linggao, I think it is better to process the products in Qiongshan, which can also drive and strengthen the economic ties between the two places."

Tang Menglong pondered for a while, "local raw materials" and "economic connection" and asked Liu Xiang: "I said, Xiao Liu, is there any industry in our mine that can strengthen its connection with Qiongshan?"

"What? There are not enough yellow tickets?" Liu Xiang joked deliberately.

"How can it be!"

"Hahaha, joke."

"To be honest, there are many production tasks and the workers work hard. However, the coal cannot be transported out, so they have to pile up. Especially in recent months, the morale of the workers is not high."

Tang Menglong wanted to give some benefits to the workers, but "no rewards are not received without merit". The strict salary system left Tang Menglong helpless. Although his feet were covered with black gold, except for the industrial giants in Linggao, there was no second buyer who needed such a large production capacity.

"As I have a solution, I have it here. But the problem is that some things must be decided by the top." Liu Xiang thought for a moment and said to Tang Menglong: "Look, no matter whether the above approves my application or not, there will always be disaster relief here. Disaster relief, to rebuild damaged houses, repair damaged land and irrigation facilities, and to harvest and plant. There are two famous things about Changchang coal on your side, one is that there is a lot of coal gangue and the other is that the humus is high. If the policy allows you, you can produce hollow bricks and cement and produce peat fertilizer by yourself. This is all necessary for the county to resist disasters and self-rescue. Even if this wave of market has passed, will there be less demand for bricks and fertilizer in the future construction?"

"Well, your ideas are quite broad!" Tang Menglong nodded repeatedly, "This trick can indeed solve big problems! Coal gangue alone solves big problems."

The coal gangue produced by the coal washing plant of Jiazi Coal Mine has formed a certain degree of pollution in the local area. A large amount of coal gangue accumulates on the Nandu River, not only polluting water sources, but also occupying a large amount of land. The heavy rain caused by this typhoon caused the coal gangue mountain by the river to collapse into the middle of the river.

"But it is not enough for me to fight for this matter... Jiazi Coal Mine is a central-level enterprise after all..." Liu Xiang said.

Tang Menglong smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I will apply for this matter. Supporting the local economy should be the focus of the planning institute, right?"

The active activities of Qiongshan have achieved certain responses. In particular, Mo Xiaoan and Wu Kuangming have a strong interest in opening up Xinde Industrial Enterprises in Qiongshan, especially the forestry department. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials in Linggao. When you arrive in Qiongshan, you can rely on the natural water system of Nandu River to use drifting timber from the mountainous areas of Ding'an and other places in the upper reaches to the lower reaches. Moreover, the utilization rate of Haikou Port in Qiongshan is not high and can be used as a timber import port.

As for Mo Xiao'an, setting up light industrial processing enterprises in Qiongshan is also an advantage. Qiongshan and Wenchang to the east are traditional agricultural counties in Hainan. They have large areas of plains and have relatively developed water systems, so there are great advantages to developing agriculture. The light industry under the Mo Xiao'an system takes agricultural and sideline products as the largest starting point, and of course, the closer they are to the production area, the more convenient it is. In particular, Wenchang is also the main coconut production area in Hainan Island, and Qiongshan is also a distribution center for Hainan Island’s dry coconut exports. Coconut processing enterprises can monopolize the circulation and trade of coconut throughout the island.

As for the Committee of Agriculture, Wu Nanhai has long been coveting the land of Qiongshan - the large impact plains on both sides of the Nandu River are simply natural farms. Whether it is planting rice or promoting sugarcane planting, there is great potential. Especially in sugarcane planting, Wu Nanhai has great expectations. As an important economic crop, the benefits of sugarcane are now the main source of wealth for the Travel Group.

However, Wu Nanhai was very worried about the land conditions of Qiongshan: in his experience, such good land has been developed, and no matter whether everyone above is a large household or a self-cultivated farmer, it is an obstacle for modern agronomists who are keen on large-scale agriculture. Wu Nanhai used to advocate the rich peasant economy. Although he also had a strong interest in intensive state-owned farms after operating a demonstration farm in Linggao - of course, Wu Nanhai also knew in his heart that this was difficult. State-owned farms rely on the direct guidance and management of the elders, and in operation, the institutions will inevitably expand and occupy too many administrative personnel.

The most ideal agricultural model in Wu Nanhai's mind is the old time and space European style: a small and medium-sized intensive farm with family as the basic unit and no more than ten workers.

Just as all parties are busy private lobbying activities, the situation in Qiongshan has changed quietly. Under the arrangement of Yang Yun and others, the disaster-stricken refugees began to expel and confess on a large scale. A week later, nearly 4,000 refugees were recruited in Qiongshan to leave the local area. The large number of refugees did not cause panic among the local gentry at the beginning, because they thought that Australians were doing nothing more than labor-for-relief. In addition to some refugees who had debts and land owners were afraid that the debt would be lost after the outflow, most of the large households even felt relieved about the outflow of the disaster-stricken victims. This not only exempted their relief obligations, but also reduced the "clamor" that the big households feared the most to the minimum.

However, as the truth about refugee workers began to emerge: tenant workers were going to be "employees" for Australians. This made the big families panic. The generous treatment given to their subordinates and the reputation of "being used to confusing people's hearts" also spread to Qiongshan. Obviously, once these mud legs eat Australians' meals, it is unlikely that they will come back to be tenant workers and long-term workers. This creates a terrible problem:

Who will plant the land? No matter how much financial resources you have or how much land you occupy, it is impossible for anyone to get any gain from the land.

In the past, the big families were not worried about such things. Although Hainan Island was sparsely populated and lacked labor for a long time, Qiongshan, as the first county, had a capital effect. Haikou Port was also the gateway for Hainan Island to enter and exit, and agricultural conditions were also the best. Most of the migrant populations who came across the sea lived in the local area, and the poor came from Fujian continued to flow into the local area, effectively supplementing the local agricultural population.

Now, the foreign population imported from the mainland has completely disappeared - Australians have a great appetite for immigration. Not only do they organize a large number of mainland immigrants, but after they control the Qiongzhou Strait and the port, all Fujian and Guangdong immigrants who landed locally were forced to detain and transported to Linggao at the beginning of their landing. Now, using such a method of cutting off the firewood, it is obvious that there will be no longer enough people to farm.

This blow was simply fatal to the big families. For a moment, the people were talking in a hurry. The big families gathered together to discuss countermeasures like a loss of their parents. Some people also went to find Hai Shuzu and asked him to come forward to plead, asking the Australians to stop recruiting workers immediately and repatriate some people as soon as possible.

Hai Shuzu was not very concerned about this - the Hai family originally had not had much land, and since they joined the Tiandihui, they no longer recruited tenants, and they all used long-term workers. The Tiandihui was responsible for recruiting and managing the long-term workers. He was neither responsible for recruiting nor supervising the workers, and he didn't even know how much the wages were paid. The agreement between the Tiandihui and the Hai family was all-inclusive, which means that the Tiandihui was the large tenant of the Hai family. As long as the Hai family was divided into proportion at the end of the year, it would be fine.
