Chapter 2959
Just when the rice market was in full swing, a huge fleet slowly sailed into the port of Vung Tau.
Qian Tiandun, who was standing on the side of the ship and watching, saw all kinds of small boats densely packed on the water in the harbor, and couldn't help but be surprised: "I haven't been here for many years. How prosperous is Vung Tau Port now?"
"The late rice harvest in Champa is almost done. These farmers should come from nearby areas to sell rice. It will not be so lively after a while."
As the commander of the second detachment of the South China Sea Fleet, Mu Zhennan obviously has a better understanding of the situation in Vung Tau Port, and explained the phenomenon in front of Qian Tiandun: "It is like this at this time of year, but there seem to be more grain ships than in previous years. Some, it looks like this year's harvest is good!"
Qian Tiandun nodded and said, "No wonder Commander Feng insisted on arranging for us to go to Vung Tau Port to complete the supply."
Mu Zhennan added: "And the rice harvested at Vung Tau Port is all new rice, and the taste is much better than the rice in stock."
According to Feng Annan's arrangement, when the fleet departed from Cam Ranh Port, there was not too much rice on board, and they had to go to Vung Tau Port for a second supply.
The reason for making this decision, apart from what Mu Zhennan said was that the taste of new rice is better than that of old rice, the real important reason is naturally that the price of rice in the place of origin is lower.
Of course, the purchase of rice does not require the presence of the South China Sea Fleet or special warfare divisions, and there are designated rice merchants to supply the military.For example, the ration supply task of the Special Warfare Division was contracted by Fu Ruifeng.
Li Yuande has been running boats between various ports in the South China Sea all the year round, and this is not the first time he has come to Vung Tau Port. After entering the port, he saw the huge billboard erected on his own pier from a distance, and he couldn't help but sneered and said: "This old Jia It works!"
Before coming to Vung Tau Port, Li Yuande was actually a little bit worried about the progress of grain procurement here, because Fu Ruifeng did not use rice as the main business item here in the past. Given the task of purchasing military rations for the special warfare division, it's hard to say whether it can be done well.
The time limit for the Special Warfare Division's operations in the South China Sea has not yet been determined. Li Nai specifically set the purchase amount at 50 catties, so that even if the Special Warfare Division has to operate in the South China Sea for a year or a half, there is no need to worry about the shortage of military rations.
There is a special military area in the port of Vung Tau, so the South China Sea Fleet does not need to be crowded with civilian ships.However, the fleet led by Li Yuande belonged to civilian ships. At his own request, these dozens of transport ships stopped at Furuifeng's exclusive pier No. [-].
When Li Yuande got off the boat and went ashore, shopkeeper Jia had been waiting on the dock for a long time, and came forward to say thank you for your hard work, young master.
Li Yuande didn't bother to greet him, and asked straight to the point: "How is the purchase of military rations?"
Shopkeeper Jia replied: "Young Master, this year is good and the rice harvest in Champa is bumper. In order to sell the price higher, many farmers bring their own grain here for sale. It must be no problem to buy 50 catties of grain. It's just that the store has manpower It is limited, at most tens of thousands of catties can be collected every day, and it will take some time to complete all of them."
Li Yuande asked: "Is there no case of using brown rice as a supplement?"
Shopkeeper Jia replied: "The instruction from the third master clearly stated that as long as the rice is polished, brown rice and paddy are not allowed. Of course, the villain will follow the order and dare not make the slightest deviation. They also specially raised the purchase price a little bit.”
Li Yuande nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you spend more money on this matter, it must be done beautifully... My fleet will only stay here for one day. Is there any problem with loading 20 catties before leaving?"
Shopkeeper Jia replied: "Don't worry, young master, the villain will definitely arrange it properly."
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Li Yuande pointed to the fleet that was docking one after another, and said, "There is still a batch of cargo from Sanya on board, and you arrange people to unload the cargo as soon as possible. I have other things to do, so just Don't stare here anymore."
In fact, Li Yuande didn't have anything important to do. He finally got this job, so naturally he was looking for opportunities to create a sense of presence in front of Qian Tiandun.
But he was not a soldier, and he had no chance to board Qian Tiandun's flagship during the march. After a day of rest in Vung Tau Port, he couldn't waste this precious time. Of course, he had to report to Qian Tiandun immediately.
However, Qian Tiandun's work schedule was much busier than Li Yuande's. As the supreme commander of this fleet, he had to meet with the local garrison chief, chief executive, and local gentry representatives after disembarking.
Then he had to meet with the diplomats stationed in Vung Tau Port by Annan and Champa to inform them of the arrangements for the transit of this huge armed fleet to avoid misunderstandings.
Li Yuande waited for a long time outside the garrison headquarters in Vung Tau Port before finally getting permission to meet.
"Yuande, you came to see me, it should be about military rations, right?"
Qian Tiandun pointed to the chair to signal him to sit down and talk, but his eyes still stayed on a document in his hand.
Li Yuande sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and said respectfully: "Fu Ruifeng's branch in Vung Tau Port has purchased 20 catties of polished rice, and all of them can be loaded on the ship before departure tomorrow. The purchase of military rations will continue until the next day." months, it is expected to be limited to 50 jin."
Qian Tiandun gave a few words of encouragement, and seeing that Li Yuande hadn't taken the initiative to leave, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Yuande said: "The junior has a request, and I hope the adults will allow it."
Qian Tiandun said: "Let's listen first."
Li Yuande said: "My lord, during the voyage of the Furuifeng fleet, they followed the direction indicated by the navy. The younger generation is actually useless in the fleet. Can you let the younger generation go to the flagship? Maybe it can help a little bit. .”
Qian Tiandun couldn't understand the meaning of his words, so he responded with a smile: "Then how are you going to help?"
Li Yuande said: "The younger generation has been sailing in the South China Sea for several years, so he has a relatively good understanding of the situation here, and may be able to help out with ideas."
Qian Tiandun said: "Then do you think you are better than those officers in the General Staff Department and know how to fight?"
Li Yuande said: "Of course the younger generation can't compare, but seven out of ten villains have dealt with all the countries in the South China Sea, and those military officers may not be able to compare with the younger generation in terms of understanding of the customs and customs of each country."
"So confident? Okay, then I'll test you." Qian Tiandun stood up, pointed to the large map hanging on the wall behind him and said, "The fleet is going to take a turn around the Gulf of Siam, what suggestions do you have for this?" ?”
Li Yuande thought for a while, and then responded loudly: "The sea area of the Gulf of Siam can be divided into two parts, the north and the south. The north is Champa, Cambodia, and Siam, and the south is the Malay Peninsula. On the side of the Gulf of Siam, there are small countries such as Pattani, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johor. These small countries were all split from the Malacca dynasty, with similar languages and cultures, and the boundaries between countries are relatively blurred.”
