Chapter 318 Searching for Xiao Yuqiang's Whereabouts
The population of the shipyard area has reached 300,000.
It's enough to rival the population of a medium-sized city.
They lived in a flat area ten miles behind the shipyard.
The families of the first batch of shipyard craftsmen often cleared land and cut firewood in the nearby mountains.
As more and more family members joined, more and more wasteland was reclaimed in the surrounding area.
Because they firmly believe that the cold winter will eventually pass.
These abandoned fields will come in handy sooner or later.
Su Yunhai informed them.
The people can cultivate wasteland on the nearby mountains, and all wasteland will temporarily belong to the public.
The allocation will be planned and distributed uniformly after the natural disaster ends.
However, as long as the people cultivate one acre of wasteland, they can exchange it for corresponding work points.
You have to understand that these 300,000 people consume food every day they open their eyes.
All their daily necessities and consumables were provided by the Su family.
Su Yunhai certainly couldn't let them just eat without doing any work.
The craftsmen in the shipyard earned work points every day, which was enough for them to support themselves.
Without work, the craftsmen's families cannot earn work points.
The steel mills near the shipyard housed all the family members of the craftsmen.
You get work points as long as you work.
People whose age or physical condition does not permit can also do some light work.
For example, gathering firewood, clearing land, building roads, moving stones, moving mountains, beachcombing, and fishing at sea in the nearby mountains.
After all, this place is planned to be developed into a county town in the future, and some of the surrounding hills will be in the way.
It can help those who have no work to find something to do in exchange for work points.
To prevent them from developing a lazy, gluttonous nature and expecting to be waited on hand and foot.
Three more days passed.
at last.
The blizzard disaster arrived as expected!
This night at midnight.
The sky was filled with dense, goose-feather-like snowflakes!
Anyone who hasn't gone to sleep yet can feel that the outside temperature seems to have dropped several degrees in just a few breaths!
To prevent natural disasters such as blizzards.
Shen Shuli and other insiders secretly made a lot of preparations.
Shen Yuehua had people raise a lot of poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, cattle, sheep, and horses at the base.
All of these poultry and livestock are kept indoors.
It was provided by Shen Shuli from her spatial storage.
If they are kept indoors and fed diluted spiritual spring water, they will reproduce very quickly.
Especially poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese.
Chickens, ducks, and geese are slaughtered daily at the base, and the locals exchange work points for them.
The plucked chicken, duck, and goose feathers are collected and carefully selected by meticulous women and children to make down jackets, down comforters, and other winter clothing.
In order to find the most suitable sheep to make wool products.
Shen Shuli had traveled to countless mountains over the past few months and finally found the most suitable sheep.
Using pure spring water to promote sheep breeding.
After several months, the number of sheep has reached tens of thousands.
Because they are fed with spiritual spring water every day, their wool grows very long enough to be shaved in almost half a month.
They also raised a lot of silkworms.
Silkworms fed with spiritual spring water produce the finest silk that Shen Shuli has ever seen.
Silk materials are also extremely warm.
Besides.
There are also various wild animal pelts.
Wild animal fur is definitely the warmest of all cold-weather gear.
Shen Shuli kept many wild beasts in her space.
This includes various breeds of tigers, lions, foxes, wolves, bears, and other wild animals with impressive fur.
With the help of the spiritual spring water, she can quickly give birth to batches of wild animals.
When the number of animals was too large, she would release a batch into the deep mountains of the island, allowing the local people to hunt them themselves.
After saving for nine months, we have accumulated a lot of winter supplies.
But these supplies won't be given away for nothing.
Shen Yuehua notified the people overnight that the temperature had dropped and that they should take precautions against the cold.
Those who need it can use their work points to exchange for warmer winter supplies in various shops.
The people had two sets of warm cotton-padded clothes and two sets of cotton quilts.
These were all distributed to them by Su Yunhai for free.
Some people are still dissatisfied.
Why do they have to spend work points to buy it this time?
They were given away for free before.
To avoid anyone causing trouble and creating chaos.
Su Yunhai invited Xiao Yuxuan and Xie Chengyuan's guards to maintain order.
And all those who caused trouble were recorded.
These people who only think about taking advantage are usually the ones who cheat and shirk their responsibilities.
Su Yunhai immediately ordered his men to kick these people out.
They also declared that they would not be assigned any tasks or given any opportunity to earn work points in the future.
"Lord Su, I was wrong! You can't dismiss me from my post! My family depends on my work to earn food!"
"Lord Su, I was out of my mind. I shouldn't have said those things. Please don't send me away. I promise I won't take advantage of anyone again. Can't I just exchange my work points for supplies?"
"I promise I'll never be lazy again, please give me another chance..."
Su Yunhai ignored these people and simply ordered his guards to drag the man away and throw him out.
Other people queuing to receive winter supplies also despised these scoundrels who only wanted to take advantage of others.
They all offered words of comfort and reassurance to Su Ping'an.
"Lord Su, please don't be angry with these people. We are all grateful. If it weren't for your help several times, we probably would have died in some remote corner by now."
"That's right, we're all willing to exchange work points for supplies. After all, we work hard to earn work points just to buy things, right?"
"Yes, this glossy black cloak looks so warm. What kind of wild animal's fur is this? I've never seen anything like it before."
"Oh, this is a cloak made of black bear skin, it costs 1,000 work points to buy."
"Ah, so it's a black bear's pelt. No wonder it's so big. A thousand work points is a bit expensive, but my family can still afford it if we grit our teeth. My husband and son both work at the steel factory, and their work hours are different. Buying this one will allow them to take turns wearing it between work hours. Give me one."
Someone interrupted by buying something, and the unpleasantness was quickly forgotten.
After hearing what the woman said, the others immediately thought it was a good idea.
Working in a steel mill is a very relaxed experience.
Men only get cold on their way home, so buying one that two people can take turns wearing is really a great deal.
“Oh, sister-in-law, that’s a great idea. I’ll have my three sons work at different times, so they can wear the same clothes when they go out, which will save a lot of money. Lord Su, could you also give me a fur coat? My sons are all very tall, so this brown one is big enough for them.”
All the factories on the island operate on a three-shift system.
Only the steel mill operates on a four-shift system.
Because working in a steel mill is the most physically demanding job.
Su Yunhai absolutely would not allow any delays to force the workers to work overtime.
Even if you work overtime, you will be paid overtime.
These factories all require physical strength; the longer you work, the slower your efficiency becomes due to exhaustion.
The longer it is delayed, the less efficient it becomes.
It would be better to leave work on time and let the next batch of energetic people take over immediately, which would be more efficient.
The workers won't feel any resistance to going to work.
The blizzard was very intense.
It was just dawn.
Half a meter of snow had already accumulated on the ground.
Most of the people who were willing to buy winter supplies have already purchased them and gone home.
Su Yunhai was tired after a long day.
After handing over the follow-up matters to his eldest brother Su Yunshan and third brother Su Yunlin, he went home to rest and catch up on sleep.
The blizzard has already arrived.
Then it will definitely rain continuously for three whole months, just like in the novel.
The base must clear the accumulated snow.
To avoid disrupting the normal operations of each factory.
Shen Shuli used a walkie-talkie to call Xie Chengyuan, Mu Wanjun, and Xiao Yuxuan.
Shen Shuli: "The blizzard is coming. Which of you three has time to come with me on a field mission?"
next second.
The three people responded quickly one after another.
Xie Chengyuan: "I'm available anytime."
Mu Wanjun: "Baby, baby, what are you going to do off the island? Take me with you! I haven't been out to play in ages. With this blizzard, the scenery everywhere must be magnificent~ Please take me with you~"
Xiao Yuxuan: "I'm free for the time being, so I can go out and have some fun with you guys."
Shen Shuli was very satisfied and replied, "Then you can arrange things at home, and we'll meet at our usual spot after lunch."
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
During lunch, Shen Shuli took the opportunity to tell her parents about her upcoming trip off the island.
So as not to worry them.
Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua are no longer worried about their daughter's safety.
After all, they have such a powerful trump card as space in their hands.
Even if the sky were to suddenly collapse and hit Shen Shuli on the head, she would be able to immediately hide in her spatial dimension for refuge.
It's hard to come up with anything.
The two of them naturally had nothing to worry about.
Shen Shuli arrived at the usual spot, only to find Xie Chengyuan already waiting there.
"Why are you here so early?" Shen Shuli asked with a smile as she walked over and took out the helicopter.
Xie Chengyuan smiled and said, "Lunch was prepared early today, so we ate early."
"Okay." Shen Shuli opened the helicopter door and let them go inside to wait.
Soon.
Xiao Yuxuan then flew over with Mu Wanjun.
Both of them were covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.
As soon as they boarded the plane, Mu Wanjun eagerly grabbed Shen Shuli's hand and asked her a question.
"Honey, you still haven't told us what we're going out to do this time."
Xie Chengyuan and Xiao Yuqiang sat in the cockpit to fly the helicopter, both listening intently to the two women's conversation.
Shen Shuli smiled and explained, "It's already started snowing. I guess that dog emperor Xiao Yuqiang won't continue fighting outside."
"But that's not necessarily true, since Lin Wanwan can always buy winter supplies."
"Xiao Yuqiang may choose to take the opportunity to continue suppressing the enemy country with firepower."
"No matter what, I want to go and see if I can get some benefits out of it."
"While we're at it, let's take advantage of the snow and reduced visibility to travel all over the continents and oceans of the planet and collect some rare resources that we don't have here."
"So we'll probably be spending a lot of time on this trip, so you'd better be prepared."
Shen Shuli winked playfully at her best friend.
Mu Wanjun and the other two never expected that Shen Shuli had this idea.
But all three of them were tempted after hearing this.
The three of them were happy to see Xiao Yuqiang's situation worsened.
Especially the thought of being able to explore the entire world and draw a map of it.
They plundered resources from other countries.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
