Living like a salted fish in the end times

Here is a brief introduction. The scale of the second phase of the sea-going fleet is more than three times that of the first phase, with a total tonnage of more than 340 million tons. The six states along the southeast coast have worked together to make up such a scale.

As for the third phase of the plan, it is estimated that there is no way this year, and there is a high probability that it will have to wait until the next year.

It's not a question of money. It's hard for a smart woman to survive without rice. Even building a ship takes time.

After the sea-going ceremony, under the arrangement of Governor Li, everyone came to the canteen of the state capital to eat.

To be honest, the food in the cafeteria is really not very good, a typical three dishes and one soup, all three dishes are vegetarian dishes, only the seafood soup is half of the meat dishes.

"Everyone, we have limited conditions, so please be more patient," Governor Li said politely.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve the standard of food.

It's just that during a special period, the Federation has issued new regulations to practice strict frugality. They can't follow up with their superiors, and avoid being caught. After all, most of the people present today are old foxes in the officialdom.

Governor Duan of Minzhou shook his head, and quickly complained: "Old Li, your food is already very good, at least you can still see meat. To tell you the truth, we in Minzhou don't know the taste of meat in March."

"Yes, it's the same in our Bay State."

Lin Aishan, governor of Wanzhou, followed closely and sighed.

Others also complained one after another.

Although it has only been more than half a year since the eruption of the Sulfur Rock Volcano, the consequences of the catastrophe brought about by it are deteriorating in an all-round way. The first thing that is in front of everyone is the problem of food.

This is also the biggest problem.

Governor Li quickly slapped his hands: "Everyone listen to me, in order to express sincerity, when the first fleet returns from Antarctica, you can advance a part of the fish catch in advance to meet the urgent need."

"Advance? How much can you advance at most?"

It was Guizhou Governor Han Weiliang who spoke.

Compared with the other five states, Guizhou's economic level is undoubtedly the worst, and it is also the most in need of help.

"As far as I know, about 60 tons of fish were harvested this time, mainly whale meat and Antarctic krill. Each of your five families can pay more than 2 tons in advance." Governor Li replied after thinking for a while.

"Only tons? Is it too little?"

Lin Aishan frowned.

Governor Li hurriedly explained: "Our state government only accounted for 18% of this batch of fish catches, which is tons of fish catches, which is equivalent to taking out more than half of them at one time."

"What about the remaining %? Who does it belong to?"

"It belongs to us." Mayor He replied on the spot, "We, Huicheng, Shencheng, Xiangcheng, and other nine major cities, as well as Zhang Dong, have a total of 14 shareholders, accounting for only half of the shares on average."

"That's right, we only have 5.00% of the shares in Buddha City, which translates to tons of fish, which is only tons more than yours. Don't be dissatisfied."

Lin Aishan suddenly said in a bad mood: "Switch the concept secretly, right? You are a city-level unit, and we are a state-level unit. There is no comparison at all."

"We don't care about this. We also took a lot of risks at the beginning. It is impossible to give you profits for nothing." Mayor He waved his hand.

"We are paying in advance, but not getting it for free. How can we say that we are making a profit?"

Lin Aishan confronted each other.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly stood up to smooth things over:
"Governor Lin, the 50 tons is really not enough. Please bear with me for now. This time the fleet will return before the end of the year at the earliest. By then, each family will be divided into hundreds of thousands of tons. Isn't it easy?"

"Zhang Dong, the catch of Antarctic fish is limited after all. Who knows how much can be harvested? To be honest, we are not as optimistic as you."

Lin Aishan shook her head with a wry smile.

Zhang Hao quickly reassured everyone: "Everyone, don't be discouraged. The Southern Ocean is huge, and it won't be easy to make money in a short while. Besides, other regions are too busy to take care of themselves. There are only a handful of people who can compete with us."

"Dong Zhang's words are true. Europe, the most competitive country right now, is suffering from the refugee problem, and South America is in a mess. The other regions combined are less than one-tenth of our size... "

Governor Li quickly echoed.

Lin Aishan interrupted directly: "Don't forget that there is also the Federation. The Federation currently holds tens of thousands of ocean-going vessels, and we account for at most one percent."

"The Federation still has a rescue mission, so we can't spare it for the time being. Besides, Mayor Liao will soon be in charge of the Federation. How can we treat our own people badly by then?"

Mayor Chen of Pearl City couldn't help interjecting.

"Old Chen, you think too well. No matter who is in power, he will consciously stand on the side of the Federation. The Federation and the local government will always be in a game relationship."

Lin Aishan simply told the truth.

"Hey, after all, there is still a difference between closeness and distance."

As the mayor of the federal capital, whether Mayor Chen is willing or not, he is naturally on the side of the federation. In a sense, he is not on the same side as the people present.

"Okay, don't talk about it, just do as I said, each of you can advance tons."

Governor Li quickly knocked on the table.

Any further discussion will involve some insider information. After all, the cafeteria is a public place, not a private club, so we must pay attention to propriety in everything.

"Okay, two tons is two tons, thanks."

The situation is stronger than others, Lin Aishan and others can only choose to accept, who makes Zhang Dong not theirs?

It's too late to win over now.

……

The time soon came to July 11st, and Ji Zhangqiu, the No. Chief Executive Officer of the Federation, took the oath of office in Zhucheng, which also meant that the relocation of the capital was completely completed.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the old Zhang's family had just finished dinner.

Village head Fan paid a sudden visit.

Zhang Hao welcomed the other party into the living room, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Fan, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what can you do with me?"

"I have good news for you. The electricity in the town has been restored. It is estimated that it will be our village's turn soon." Village Chief Fan said excitedly.

Although there are already wind turbines in the village, the power supply is too unstable, at best it can be illuminated, and it is difficult to boil water.

"Really? Hey, it's finally coming, much slower than I expected."

Zhang Hao couldn't help sighing.

After all, Huicheng is a super-first-tier big city with a low latitude, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be delayed until now.

"There is no way. This time, we need to carry out a major renovation of the line. All pipelines must be underground. Try to do it once and for all, so as to avoid another major blackout." Village Chief Fan explained casually.

"Underground?" Zhang Chongxin couldn't help being curious, "This project is not a small one, can it be completed before the end of the month?"

"It should be no problem. The power supply bureau has not been idle for the past six months. I heard that the pipeline has almost been dug. The only thing left is the final line installation. The electricity will definitely be restored before the end of the month."

Village head Fan has a well-thought-out plan.

Zhang Hao nodded, and then asked: "What about the tap water? When will the water be available?"

Not to mention Shawei Village, even the urban area has not yet been connected to water, relying on water supply trucks to supply water every day.

"The water supply is more troublesome, and it is said that it will be delayed."

Village Chief Fan shook his head.

Huicheng is located in a low-latitude area, and the water pipes have not been properly protected against freezing, so that the damage is serious and cannot be restored in a short time.

In addition, the waterworks needed to be upgraded to fully filter all drinking water as the water source was contaminated by volcanic ash.

Only in this way can the safety of drinking water be guaranteed.

This is much more troublesome than restoring power.
