Chapter 43 Canned Fruit

Although Xingtang has never strictly investigated and satised the people who have seized the military's pay, and dealt with them one by one, interests can always drive some bold people and can't help stretching out their dirty hands.

Therefore, we must find ways to prevent this kind of thing from happening in system construction, minimize the number of people who have done it, and reduce the possibility of being stripped.

So Yu Xiaotian thought of a common method commonly used by later units, which was to open a money bank under the director's hall, but every sea wolf member opened a personal account for them in the bank. When the money was paid, the board of directors allocated the money to the money bank, and the money bank directly sent the money directly to the personal account of the department.

In this way, the link of paying silver is reduced. No one can deduct the paid silver from the people. When the sea wolf people need money, they can go to the personal account of the Qianzhuang to withdraw cash silver. When they don't need it, let the paid silver or reward silver lie on the account, so as to avoid letting them keep it personally and carry it with them. With possible theft and loss.

Before this, both on the ship and in the barracks, the paid silver issued by the people had been poorly preserved, stolen or lost. In this way, the paid silver was no longer carried by the soldiers, which was eliminated.

This method was immediately supported by the people of the sea wolf department, and also brought a benefit, that is, the sea wolf council can obtain quite a lot of deposits. Whether it is used for investment or loan, it reduces the burden of the sea wolf every time it is paid.

In the past, when sea wolves were grated, they had to prepare a large amount of cash silver, and when they were grated, they had to queue up to receive pay. Many silver was large ingots and had to be cut with special scissors, which was very troublesome, and there was a great demand for cash silver.

However, after adopting this method of paying silver or rewarding silver on behalf of Qianzhuang, there is no need to mobilize a large number of cash money when the sea wolves are paid. The sea wolf members are now given good treatment to the members. They are in charge of food, drinking, and clothing. In addition, the sea wolf has formulated a strict system, and the sea wolves have only four days a month. The rest time is one day every seven days, and you have to leave the team in batches. The rest of the time you have to be on duty or drill in the ship or barracks. Even if you don't have to work at night, you have to stay in the camp, so basically there is not much place to spend money.

In this way, Qianzhuang does not need to prepare a large amount of cash, but only needs to prepare a small amount of cash for the limited withdrawal of the sea wolf department.

So after this method was launched, it reduced a lot of pressure on cash expenditure for the council. At first, when it was just implemented, the sea wolf department was still a little worried. Some people took time to quickly take up the money as soon as they paid, put it next to them, or gave it to their families for safekeeping.

But after a long time, they found that it was boring to do so. The Sea Wolf Board of Directors paid them to withdraw money from the internal bank at any time. It was inconvenient for them to bring them. They were still worried, and it was useless to give it to their families. They also had to find a way to hide it for fear of losing it.

So gradually fewer and fewer people withdraw money. Later, most of the sea wolves simply stopped withdrawing money easily, so that the money would lie on their accounts, but they felt more relieved.

Some sea wolves died or died unexpectedly during their work. Qianzhuang will soon receive the news and immediately withdraw all the money deposited in their accounts and give a lot of money to their families. After several such things, Qianzhuang was established. Their credibility reassured the sea wolves.

Yu Xiaotian also attaches great importance to the diet of the sea wolf masses. Within the scope of the conditions, he will try to provide a better diet for the sea wolf masses, so that they can get more adequate nutrition. The Shanghai wolves are very satisfied with this. As long as they work among the sea wolves, they can eat a big stove, and although they are full, although they eat more It's brown rice, but this kind of brown rice is not mixed. It is actually made of brown rice, and it is also served with vegetables as supplementary food. There are often some patterns in the dishes. Even if there is no guarantee that there will be meat or fish or something else, there are still many patterns, and every two or three days, at least one fish can be mixed. Or a meal of meat.

When you go on a mission, like a sailor driving a boat to sea, and when soldiers go on patrol, they eat better, and you can see meat almost every day.

For people who used to struggle to be half hungry or even not full at all, they may not be able to eat meat in the past year. Now the quality of such food makes them very satisfied.

But Yu Xiaotian still feels that this is not enough. He came from later generations. Of course, he knows the diet quality of future generations. Meat is no longer a rare thing in later generations. As long as ordinary families eat meaty food every day, it is not a problem, so that later generations can get a relatively sufficient supply of protein. Many times you can also eat fresh fruits to supplement various vitamins and trace elements. As for vegetables and other things, it goes without saying that they are not good to eat in different ways.

The ordinary people in this era basically have no non-staple food to eat. They mainly eat some brown rice and add a lot of potato shreds to replace brown rice. Only when they do heavy work will they eat pure brown rice. Many people don't even dare to eat a few meals of pure brown rice all year round. The so-called dishes are just their own. Some vegetables have to be marinated and can't bear to eat, so they can only eat some pickles. Even the people in the mainland dare not even eat more salt, let alone nutrition.

So the nutritional source of people in this era is basically some carbohydrates, and the intake of protein is very small, so people in this era eat a lot, and they must eat more carbohydrate food to meet their body needs. At the same time, their labor is also very large, which makes many people start Finally, they are in a state of malnutrition, including children. They are yellow and thin, and they rarely see fat people. As long as they are fat, they are basically rich people. People have no possibility of eating fat at all.

For his subordinates, Yu Xiaotian doesn't want them to feel bitter, so in terms of food, he tries his best to provide them with a better diet to ensure their needs, which he can be said to have done a good job.

However, there are still some problems in diet and nutrition in the marine fleet, which makes Yu Xiaotian very dissatisfied.

In this era, when ships go to sea, fishing boats will return in a day or two, but as soon as warships go to sea, they can be as short as three or four days, and as long as ten days. Like those who have been sent to work in the coast of Guangdong recently, it will take at least a month to two months as soon as they go out. , even longer.

In addition, there are merchant ships. Apart from the ships that transport goods to the coast of Fujian, they are short-distance voyages and there will be no problem. But now many ships are close to Hongmao City, Macao or Tainan, and further away to Manila and Bacheng (Badavia), Vietnam, Dani and Ryukyu. , Japan and other places, this visit will take at least a few months or even half a year.

In this way, the food quality of the crew is worrying. Although some food will be parked in some harbors on the way, it is difficult to supplement, and the variety may be, not to mention the freshness.

Especially for those who plunder private ships to operate at sea in the Liangguang area, where there are as many pirates, and they are on the enemy's territory at any time. It is even more difficult to supplement, and it is good to ensure the fresh water on the ship.

When these ships go out, the council often loads enough rice food on their boats and a lot of bacon and salted fish. Occasionally, they can also use the fishing nets prepared on the boats to catch some seafood to supplement their diet, but vegetables and fruits cannot be in the southern sea with high temperatures for a long time. Save it, take some out, and eat it quickly, otherwise it will rot.

So they often rely on brown rice pickles and bacon fish carried on the ship to meet their needs. In this way, the crew often suffer from serious vitamin deficiency and various diseases such as beriberi and scurvy.

The biggest enemy of seafarers in this era is not necessarily pirates. Their biggest enemy is often malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. Many seafarers will die from various vitamin deficiency diseases when they go to sea for a long time due to lack of medicine. At this time, people do not know much about nutritional problems, and naturally they do not know How to solve it?

The crew of sea wolves will naturally face such a problem, which affects the morale of seafarers to a certain extent, making some seafarers afraid of going far away and dying on the way.

So Yu Xiaotian wants to solve this problem. This kind of thing can be solved with enough canned food in later generations, but in this era, canned food has not been invented, and only pickled food can be used to solve the problem of crew food.

In order to solve the problem of canned food, future generations often use tinplate to make canned boxes, packaging and sealed food, or plastic material packaging, or aluminum alloy packaging. However, these things do not exist at all in this era, and with Xiaotian's scientific and technological knowledge, it cannot be solved.

So he can only think about glass. Now his glass industry is developing well, and the production of glass products is increasing. In addition to various glass products for land sales, he has leftover production capacity to help him solve this problem.

But it is definitely impossible to solve the sealing with tinplate, but the earliest glass cans also do not have tinplates, which is solved by using corks.

So he ordered the craftsmen in the glass field to start trial-making various glass bottles, first using the method of blowing, but blowing glass bottles requires considerable technology. Few craftsmen in the glass field can reach such a level, so they can only continue to use mold blowing. Production.

After these glass jars were made, Yu Xiaotian cut some fruits into the glass bottle and added some sugar, and steamed them in a steamer. After high-temperature disinfection and sterilization, the mouth of the bottle was sealed with the same disinfected cork. In this way, it was made into a glass fruit can.
