Chapter 458: Go West and Stand by Standby

I have something to do today, take half a vacation, only a change of 4,000 words, and return to normal tomorrow

~~~

With the support of the team from Funing County in Northwest China, the construction of the Daimyo Machinery Factory and smelter belonging to the Machinery Industry Bureau has been completed.

It's just the first phase, and the production capacity and scale are not yet counted. However, Zhang Fangping approved a whole industrial park, and the follow-up phase II, phase III, and even phase IV and Phase 5 are waiting to be launched.

In mid-July, when the situation of "the Great Song Dynasty fearing to become the biggest loser" in full swing did not affect Beijing, Zhang Fangping also personally cut the ribbon for the machinery factory and smelter, and watched the first flintlock pistol roll off the assembly line in the still small workshop.

But at this moment when Beijing's industrial foundation was laid, Dayan could not observe, and now Zhang Fangping is at the helm, and Shen Kuo is in charge of the Industrial Bureau.

As early as the first moment of Di Qing's death, Wang Yan and Mu Guiying received Han Qi's order: immediately go to the Yongxing Military Road to stand by and wait for new instructions.

This is not a public order, but it is logical to send Mu Guiying Zhen to Han Qi's jurisdiction, as for Wang Yan, it is not important, and he has not been grounded, as the leader of the Industrial Bureau, it is logical to inspect the machinery factory in Funing County.

None of the officers and men of the Beijing Garrison Division could not move, because the current situation was really bad, and there might be some kind of Liao State behind, and for the sake of safety, the most elite mobile personnel on the Hebei border could not move rashly.

Regarding Han Qi's interpretation of this move, Da Yan and Zhang Fangping agreed that the volunteers would not be evacuated from Hehuang, and Wang Yan and Mu Guiying would lead the old team of the Funing Army to continue to fight in the Hehuang area to safeguard the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why there is no other public statement is that Da Yan believes that Han Qi's decision to appoint the commander of Da Yan has great resistance, and it has not yet been finalized. Therefore, Han Qi just prepared in advance, and put Wang Yan and Mu Guiying in Funing County first, so that they could soon go west when needed......

Wang Yan and General Mu Guiying traveled lightly and secretly, and when they arrived again in this small border town after a year's absence, they felt extremely unfamiliar.

At that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a wild place, the low, desolate and old low city wall, and the situation that the people were always gray and leaning against the city gate and soaking in the sun is gone.

Today's Funing County has expanded fivefold, because after three years of construction, the eastern and western sections of the city wall project have been officially closed and docked, truly forming the second ring system of this border town, and the first form of the first fortress in the northwest has come out.

Of course, the city wall has not yet been fully completed and accepted, but the first phase of the project has been accepted, because the current height of the city wall is only half of the original design drawings, and another layer needs to be built up, which is a complete fortress.

And the more logistical the progress of the project, the faster it will be, because the craftsmen are more and more skilled, and the management system is more and more mature, which means that not only can the speed be increased, but the rework rate will also be greatly reduced. In addition, according to the slope of the city wall, the width of the uppermost part is only about half of the bottom, and with the blessing of various engineering equipment that is becoming more and more mature, the visible progress will be faster.

Now it is estimated that if it is a surprise construction, the city wall can be completed in less than six months, of course, whether it is necessary to surprise the construction is another matter, since the first phase of the project has been completed, Lu Huiqing is not in a hurry to rush the construction, on the contrary, he has greatly evacuated the number of people involved in the construction to engage in other production.

In addition to the city wall, the middle of the second ring system, the old city wall, the area within the new city wall, has been planned to have a feeling, the east and west of the square market, has been built in a good way.

Basically, in the year after Dayan left office, Lu Huiqing's greatest achievement was to basically complete the resettlement of border people in accordance with Wang Yan's line, so that they could have their own houses and jobs.

The bigger and more prosperous the store, the more attractive it will be. Wang Yan's policy line continues to ferment, and more and more people are coming to the entire Northwest Golden Triangle region to become the people of Funing County. Therefore, the number of registered households in Funing County has exceeded 30,000, and with the frequent comings and goings of mobile people, this is already a veritable large county.

The ability to provide financial resources is frenzied.

In the previous year, the average financial contribution per registered resident of the Great Song Dynasty was 1.3 times. But Funing County is fifteen per person. That is to say, in just one year last year, Funing County, which has only 30,000 permanent residents, has a total of more than 300,000 yuan in fiscal revenue, and the county government has a large financial surplus, which is more than 10 times that of Wang Yan's reign at that time.

So now life is really better, and Lu Huiqing's fame in the northwest also has a tendency to catch up with the big bird.

There is no way at this point, this is human nature, and even in the impression of many people, the period of following the big sun is a dark time, mainly in tightening the belt to live a hard life. Relying on the foundation laid by Dayan, it was the Lu Huiqing period that really began to grow wildly.

Now Funing County has been gilded, and compared to people in other places, they have a sense of pride and superiority. Looking at the fortress-like new city wall, some people have forgotten the circumstances under which the Great Demon King designed the city wall and mobilized to build it. They were criticizing the poor labor efficiency, the rough management system, and the production accidents that occurred every once in a while.

Some people, when they watched Lu Huiqing County Zun cut the ribbon for the docking of the new city wall a while ago, they thought of the grassroots, chaos, hardship, and hunger during the Dayan period, as well as the old and cold inner city wall.

There are also some people, looking at the endless stream of travelers, foreign scholars, and huge caravans coming and going to Funing County, what they think of is: the competition during the Great Demon King period, strict management, and even almost no foreign merchants dare to come to this place to do business. Under the border public opinion and trend at that time, Funing County was known as a place of demons, both internally and externally. The reputation of the demon king comes from this.

There are also some people, they think of the Great Demon King's stubborn declaration of war on the three mountains and seven villages, under the clarion call of the beacon company camp to support for several months, although the bandits were exterminated, but many innocent herdsmen also died in the war. After that, the endless refugees gathered outside the city in a haphazard manner, and there were not even tents, and the Great Demon King left. The person who stabilized the confidence of the refugees and finally built their homes and settled everyone was Lu Huiqing, the county lord.

These are what Wang Yan and Mu Guiying, who have been privately interviewed by Weifu for half a day, have seen and heard. Aunt Mu Guiying felt very worthless about this, but Wang Yan felt that it was normal, and persuaded "one generation to do one generation, let him go".

Of course, it's not that the Great Demon King is cold, there is also a group of people who miss the Great Crane very much, and there are quite a few of them. Compared with Lu Huiqing's refined style, some more stubborn civil servants still remember the simple and rude laughter and scolding of the big demon king. Compared with the frequent public security cases during this period, many people still remember the situation of almost not closing their doors at night during the period of the Great Demon King.

In view of the new problems under the new situation, the county lieutenant Quan Berlin submitted a "Number of Brief Letters on Launching a Strike Hard Campaign" to Lu Huiqing, the supreme administrator, but it was not approved. Lu Huiqing's reason is that economic construction is still the central task, and some compromises can be made on this basis, and it is easy to overkill and affect the rapidly increasing scale of the economy.

And compared with other areas in Northwest China, Funing County's public security and criminal problems are in the middle line and are not prominent. So Lu Huiqing replied to the whole of Berlin: I did not see the need for a strike hard.

In the proposal, Anton pointed out that the affluent life in the new period has caused some bad humor, the rapid increase in the scale of the economy, and the rapid expansion of the interests involved in the civil service, all because there are many merchants who come and go, and excessive merchant habits have begun to invade Funing County, and the amount of black money accumulated by civil servants is becoming increasingly huge. Because of the compromise of the participation of public officials, the interests of the merchant caravans tended to be maximized, and the wealth began to accumulate to a small number of people, which was not the original intention of the previous consul Wang Yan. At present, some of the original strata have accumulated too much, and the wages of temporary workers without hukou are too low, which is not conducive to the trend of production, the release of mobility, and the real increase of national strength.

However, in order for the "Several Proposals" to be adopted, Lu Huiqing replied: In the new era, there must be new ideas. If it is too strict, it is not conducive to attracting investment in our county, and businessmen will flee. The excessive increase in the salary of temporary workers is not conducive to the accumulation of government finances and the mentality of the original regular workers. Being excessively strict with civil servants is not conducive to work enthusiasm and investment attraction during this period.

The above is now sitting in the tavern, the bald guy in Berlin spit on Wang Yan, and he is booing at him, and he will be stuffed when he lifts it.

"Oh...... Is that all? Wang Yan blinked.

The bald head was depressed for a while, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, if you don't come to these situations, you must intervene." ”

Wang Yan spread his hands and said: "How can you interfere, do you think I am his father, or am I the prime minister?" The chief magistrate of Funing County is him, not me. Now I am an idler who is engaged in the enterprise, and I will come to see you old and immortal old guys in my free time. ”

Quan Berlin said: "Xianggong, you should correct what he is wrong and doesn't understand, while it's still too late." ”

Wang Yan took a sip of tea, shook his head slightly, and said, "I can't correct it." The nature of the country is easy to change, and those who really believe in me are not very smart people. In terms of Lu Huiqing's intelligence, and having read through all my works, he has his own understanding. It's not that he doesn't understand, so his actions mean, 'Your point of view has been accepted, but I don't agree with all of it.'" After I was refrigerated several times, this time his financial achievements shocked the government and the opposition, and Han Qi and Fubi Wang Gongchen all looked at him differently Now, Lao Quan, I may not be able to draw him from your father-in-law. ”

Quan Berlin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Things are not people." ”

"No, it's supposed to be a thing. It's easy to change the shape of things, like I made coke cement, and I turned iron ore into a steam engine and a train. But it's hard to change some people. It's not that as soon as I leave, they go bad. But without the suppression of the Demon King Realm, the bad guys don't need to hide themselves anymore, or rather: the bad guys have grown up and matured. ”

Lao Quan couldn't help but sigh and read it silently a few times.

Wang Yan smiled again and said, "Don't get into the horns, in fact, I'm joking." There are really bad guys in the tolerance and that group of foreign profiteers, but Lu Huiqing is not easy to say, he just became a family because he was too smart, which is different from what I thought. He is a human being, an archon appointed by the imperial court, he has his own way of thinking, and he can't accept it because he thinks differently from me. Because as far as I know, he's really poorer than you. I heard Cao Qing say that people often invite you to drink a glass of wine and bring some things to your home. But Lu Huiqing really doesn't have any of these. ”

Quan Berlin couldn't help but feel embarrassed by his bald head, and his old face was slightly red: "Xianggong came here without warning, I heard that you are slow to plan Beijing's three-year industrial construction plan, why did you suddenly come to the border here, there should be something, right?" ”

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Soon you will know." ”

"Xianggong, you should transfer my old man away, or be more comfortable and fulfilling when I follow you. There's nothing good in the Northwest either, and I don't want to stay anymore. "All Berlin Road.

Wang Yan shook his head slightly and said: "In a few years, it is now the most critical period, and if you can pass this threshold, the Great Song Dynasty will be a flat river in the future." With you in Funing County, I will be more at ease. Under the new situation and the new productive forces, there are indeed some things that will change, but with you here, it will not change too quickly and violently. That's it. I don't expect the world to really run the way I envisioned it, it will never be, my responsibility is to give birth to little babies and pull them out of the darkness, as for what the future will be, one generation will do one generation of things, whatever it is, this period will be full and stable. ”

"In fact, that's all I can do, Lao Quan, you have seen my footprints over the years, haven't you? This is the case in Shuzhou, the coal yard, the Northwest Investment Bank, Funing County, and Sinong Temple. Wang Yan finally said: "I really didn't come to reform Funing County, there are more important things in this period, maybe the Funing army needs to be pulled to the front line of Hehuang to fight, at this time, in any way, it needs the stable support of Funing County, so Lao Quan, your behavior of 'making a small report to the boss' can't happen, which is not conducive to unity and work coordination." Don't really put yourself on the opposite side of Lu Huiqing, believe me, once he really sees you as an enemy, you can't fight him. ”

Lao Quan said unconvinced: "Won't you protect me?" ”

Wang Yan said: "You just look at the time of the battle against bandits, in order to protect Zhanzhao and establish his prestige, he was so big that he put me under house arrest. After that, he was able to reach the point where he almost overthrew me in terms of prestige, Khan, do you really think he can be pinched to death by me? Do you really think he would stop these jobs without diamonds? ”

Quan Berlin said: "Your circle is really messy. ”

was slapped on his bald head, and Wang Yan said: "Don't talk nonsense, you are now in the Great Song Dynasty civil official system, and I won it for you." You can do things, but you have no culture, and you can't afford to take the test in this life, so you can't jump high. Settle down, temper for a while, and wait for the situation in the western Hehuang region to stabilize, I will transfer you to the Machinery Industry Bureau, you can't do a big deal, get you a railway public security bureau to do it, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"Holo." Lao Quan smiled, lifted the cup again, and took a sip. But I thought again: It's okay to say that I don't have the culture and can't afford to take the exam, but the big demon king who said it seems to be able to pass the exam?

When Wang Yan got up and left with Mu Guiying, he pointed to his bald nose and said, "Don't get drunk." ”
