"Good!" Su Ziheng applauded vigorously: "Since Commander Xu is willing to take the initiative to ask for help, then this matter will be handed over to Commander Xu." ”

Xu Lin nodded, and heard Su Ziheng continue: "Since you are going to do an investigation, you naturally can't just investigate this one thing. Can you arrange a few more soldiers and bring the literate students of Bailu Academy to go with them, investigate all the terrain and minerals within a radius of 100 miles in Donghai County, and do a new census by the way, is there a problem? ”

Xu Lin shook his head and said, "No problem, it's just that in this way, it will take a lot of time." ”

Su Ziheng said: "Time is not a problem, these are all things that must be done, if you want to vigorously develop Donghai County, you must know everything in the territory well, so that you can develop it in a targeted manner." If there is a lack of raw materials in the process of developing Donghai County, it is better to purchase in time to the surrounding areas, and the progress of the project must not be delayed. Regarding the external procurement, it will be handed over to the old housekeeper Zhong to deal with, and Grandpa Yu, is there a problem? ”

Zhong Heyu smiled, "Uncle, please rest assured, the old slave will not disappoint you and Miss." It's just that in terms of funds, I'm afraid it will be stretched. ”

Su Ziheng pondered for a moment, "Leave the funding problem to me to figure it out, and I will get the first start-up capital." Then find a stable and profitable project for Donghai County. ”

Zhong Qinghan asked, "What are the eyebrows of that long history?" ”

Su Ziheng has not been in this world for a long time, and he has not studied the economy of this world, so he doesn't know exactly what projects make money. But based on the experience of the earth in his previous life, knowing that monopoly goods and luxury goods are the most profitable, he is planning to start from these aspects.

"If you go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you really want to make money, it is nothing more than government projects such as salt and iron. For the time being, it is not clear whether there are any large iron mines in Donghai County, and even if there are, they will not be enough for their own use, and they will definitely not be sold to the outside world. Then the only option is salt. Su Ziheng was confident.

Zhong Qinghan was surprised: "I haven't heard that there is a salt mine in Donghai County?" If salt was really produced, Donghai County would not be so poor and abandoned by the imperial court. ”

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "It is true that there is no salt mine in Donghai County, but it does not mean that there is no salt in Donghai County. In addition to salt mines, the seawater in the sea also contains a lot of salt, and we can make salt from seawater. ”

Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Su Ziheng, wanting to hear him talk about how to use seawater to make salt. Jia Qingwen said incredulously: "In the past, when Jia was in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he also heard that seawater can also make salt, but the taste of the salt produced is relatively bitter, and it is not a good salt. And you need to boil the seawater in a large pot, and after the seawater in the pot is boiled dry, a layer of salt will come out. This kind of sea salt production efficiency is very low, and it also wastes a lot of wood, so I heard that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Everyone originally heard that Su Ziheng could use seawater to make salt, and they were all very excited and happy, but Jia Qingwen's words were like a basin of cold water that woke everyone up, and they secretly said in their hearts: "If making salt in this world is so simple, the price of salt will not be so high, resulting in many people not being able to afford salt." ”

Su Ziheng nodded when he heard this: "That's true, if you use wood to boil sea salt in a pot, it will be more than worth the loss." But the method I want to use is not boiled, but dried. ”

"Salt? Is this possible? The crowd asked, confused.

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "Naturally, it is feasible, but the requirements for drying salt are relatively high, and good beach land is needed to be made into salt pans." I took a look at the previous county records, and the bay and tidal flats on the sea side of Donghai County are vast, and people used to breed fish and shrimp in the past, and the tidal and climatic conditions are very suitable for salt production. ”

"The specific construction of the Yantian is decided by me after personally surveying and dating, and in order to save money and speed up the construction, I propose to attract foreign investment. At that time, our Donghai County will take a stake in the site and technology, occupy seventy percent of the shares of the salt farm, and the other three components will be given to those who are willing to invest in the shares. Let them be responsible for the funds and manpower of the construction, what does Her Royal Highness the princess think? ”

This is the best way that Su Ziheng has thought of, if he wants to quickly lay out the situation in Donghai County, it is definitely not enough to rely on these five thousand people.

Zhong Qinghan nodded and said, "I don't have a problem, what about you?" ”

Su Ziheng didn't dare to answer when he saw that everyone was restrained, and said with a smile: "Since you are asked to come to the meeting, naturally you are not asked to come to the meeting, and any suggestions must be put forward together." I propose that in the future, whoever puts forward an opinion must agree with more than half of the people present at the meeting before it can be passed, so that the decision can be made without a fever in the brain, and it can also avoid building a lot of unnecessary things, and strive to spend every penny where it should be used. ”

Everyone was stunned by Su Ziheng's sudden suggestion, if he really did what he said, then the person who participated in the meeting would no longer be a witness, but a participant with great power.

Everyone's hearts immediately became hot, and they all looked at Zhong Qinghan, wanting to see what she said? After all, Donghai County is her fiefdom, and everything will be agreed to by her in the end.

Regarding this matter, Su Ziheng discussed it with Zhong Qinghan several times in private, and after getting her affirmation, the matter of convening everyone for a meeting today will appear.

Zhong Qinghan's eyes circled, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he nodded solemnly and said: "In principle, I agree with this matter, you can record what this palace said, and you can publicize it in the future for everyone to know." ”

"All participants in the meeting have the right to vote, and any proposal must be voted on by more than half of the participants before it can be carried out; Every member of the meeting has the right to supervise, and if anyone fails to do a good job, he can choose to remove him and elect another person with the highest number of votes. The palace has a veto power, and as long as the palace thinks it will not work, even if everyone agrees, it cannot be enforced. ”

Everyone nodded and said: "This is as it should be, this is originally the fiefdom of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and everything is decided by Her Royal Highness the Princess, not to mention that it is just a veto." ”

The veto power is a powerful right set by Su Ziheng for Zhong Qinghan alone, as long as this right is there, even if the plenary meeting is held, there is no need to worry that she will lose power.

"Another point is that since you have been given the right to vote, you must cherish the rights in your hands. If there is a problem in three consecutive votes, the person who participated in the meeting will be expelled from the parliament and will not be allowed to participate in the meeting again, and if he wants to re-enter the parliament, he will have to re-participate in the election. ”

"The first plenary session is not very clear to many people, so there will be no other election, but the first parliament will be formed by everyone present, and it will be elected every two years thereafter, and all qualified official members of Donghai County will have the right to vote and the right to be elected."
