Chapter 535: Spring in the Northern Kingdom

Huaxia's road construction plan, with sufficient material support, steadily advanced to the north, and at the same time brought the land on both sides of the road under its control.

However, for those lands that are far away from the official road, the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration feels that it is difficult to play any role for the time being.

Therefore, a straight line was drawn between Nanyang and Xiangyang on the digital map, and then a reference line 30 kilometers away from the baseline line was drawn on both sides of the line.

The land within these two reference lines is still converted according to the market price, but the land outside these two reference lines depends on whether the price is appropriate and whether Huaxia needs it.

Because judging from the manpower that Huaxia Kingdom has cultivated so far, it is not yet too broad in that ability.

At least until the potential of the Yunmengze region is fully exploited, they have no plans to develop to the north.

Moreover, according to Wei Minsheng's plan, the main development direction of Huaxia in the future is still along the Yangtze River all the way to the east, and the vast sea is the place where Huaxia Guoda can develop its ambitions.

At present, this road extending to the north is just a way for them to absorb labor, and there is no need to spread the stall too large.

The Ping'an City outside the Yanmen Pass, after opening the Yanmen Pass, also used the rich food resources to attract a large number of ordinary people to actively participate in the construction of the Ping'an City.

It didn't take long for the second ring road in the middle of the first urban unit to be built, which means that Ping'an City really has a foundation that can develop rapidly.

The eight standardized communities have begun to play their urban functions, and have organized the storage and dispatch of work, life, and materials in an orderly manner.

In addition to the energy supply unit, the temporary station was also moved to the urban unit.

During this period, Huaxia continued to transport a large number of skilled workers here through air routes, and constantly expanded the engineering construction capacity of Ping'an City.

The location of the large mining areas in the north has been roughly mapped and detailed digital maps have been collected.

After having enough technicians and auxiliary ordinary people, Ping'an City once again extended its tentacles to the mountainous areas in the north according to the planning of the relevant departments of Huaxia State.

A mountain road was built by an excavator, and without a dispute over land ownership, Huaxia was free to build the road according to the best route, regardless of where it could be moved and where it could not be dumped with excess earth and rock.

There is no need to build the mountain road too well, as the coal is mined and used only to generate electricity, in addition to being sent in large quantities to the real-world district of Tuvalu.

At the current level of electricity consumption in Huaxia, it is not necessary to build a large-scale power station.

For Ping'an City, which is located in the north, the biggest benefit of this thermal power station is that it is used for heating.

After all, trees in the north are not easy to grow, unlike in the south, where there is plenty of rain, and if no one takes care of them, they will overgrow in a few months, and even affect human activities.

Therefore, the different climatic conditions in the north and south must choose different power supply methods to promote the harmonious development of man and nature.

Before the industrial age began on a large scale, the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere was far from high enough to affect ambient temperature.

From another point of view, Wei Minsheng felt that the greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere of the other world was too little, otherwise it would not be cold to this extent in winter.

After all, the right temperature can promote the growth of plants, and too high or too low temperature is not a good phenomenon.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Wei Minsheng does not mind mining some ore fuels in the cold north and emitting more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

This thermal power station, which uses modern production technology, is built directly on the edge of the mountain between the mining area and Ping'an Castle.

In this way, it is possible to obtain a continuous supply of fuel from the mining area, and at the same time to easily supply heat to the nearby Ping'an City, and at the same time make full use of the hydropower resources of the Sanggan River.

The waste heat from the thermal power station can also be used to heat up the greenhouse at the nearby vegetable planting base, so that fresh vegetables can be eaten all year round in the cold north.

In order to solve the problem of unstable water flow of the Sanggan River, the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration planned to excavate an artificial reservoir covering an area of 10 square kilometers on the edge of the Sanggan River.

Anyway, the robbers who were captured in the south were not able to find a place to settle down, so they were allowed to build a reservoir here and contribute all their surplus value.

On the outer edge of the reservoir construction site is two layers of barbed wire, with a grid in between.

Thirty-six watchtowers were built around the reservoir, each with a distance of 300 meters, and patrols were on duty 24 hours a day.

Their basic task was to guard the prisoners who were being reformed through labor on the construction site and to prevent them from escaping.

Of course, if someone can really escape from this construction site isolated by the power grid, they are also considered capable.

As long as he escapes from the circle of the power grid, these patrols don't have to pay attention to him, because they don't have any thermal weapons with long-range killing, except for electric batons and tear gas.

Such simple equipment conditions did not have much deterrent effect on those robbers who had fled into the wilderness.

Therefore, they only need to report what happened here to the Huaxia Self-Defense Forces stationed next to them, and the people of the Huaxia Self-Defense Forces will naturally deal with it.

And their plan of dealing with it is very simple, dealing with these prisoners who have escaped in the wilderness is equivalent to carrying out the simplest hunt, and there is no difficulty at all.

However, since the simple "prison" began to operate, there has not been a single case of escape, because it is already a good place compared to the outside world.

Huaxiaguo's regulations are very humane, and they comprehensively determine the amount of work that each prisoner must complete every day according to their age and weight.

Those who have completed their workload can eat porridge three times a day as much as they want, and the supply of pickles is also unlimited.

Even if these pickles were just leftover leaves from the vegetable base before feeding fresh vegetables to the canteen in Heian City, they were not something they could eat every day when they were robbers.

What's more, every seven days, the site canteen will add a meal, in addition to each person has a small plate of roast meat, you can also drink one or two fine wine produced in Huaxia.

Such a mellow liquor, but they did not have a chance to taste it when they were robbers.

It is said that one or two of these spirits can be exchanged for a fine sheepskin in the market where they are traded with the Xianbei people.

In addition, the place where they lived at night was far more comfortable than the dilapidated house on the hill before, and the pipes in the house had hot water flowing every day, drying the room warmly.

No matter how the north wind howls outside, as long as you enter the house, you have never been awakened by freezing.

On such a day, even those officials and gentry may not have the opportunity to enjoy it.

It can be said that they are here to work and reform, except that they cannot leave this area, and everything is much better than when they were robbers before.

Except for a few people whose brains have been broken, I guess they don't want to let them run.
