"Are you planning to hold a big festival in Pengcheng on October 10? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo。 ”

I asked, a little surprised.

"It's still about the sacrifice of the Shennong clan."

"It's also a new atmosphere that has moved to the new office."

Lu Wuguan, who is already the envoy of Huaibei Economic Strategy, smiled at the tea ceremony,

"Now the people in this town have new minds."

"So I specially studied this ancient rite of Xu Di."

Compared with all kinds of bad news from the outside world, as the first internal report of the establishment of Huaibei Province, the economic situation of the year-end summary in late autumn is not good in general.

Although there was still the maintenance of the winter army on Silla and the burden of the population of several states was newly increased, the two daily consumption was on the lion's head; However, because of the seizures and other booty of the Northern Expedition, plus the military expenses and expenses that were prepaid and subsequently apportioned by the Silla princes;

The pressure and influence actually distributed to the Huaibei region have been greatly reduced; Even in most places in the seventeen prefectures of Huaibei, the traces and atmosphere of the effects of the war cannot be seen or felt.

The planned large-scale projects such as farmland, roads, water conservancy and urban defense carried out during the slack season have also been carried out as scheduled after the stagnation and postponement in the early stage, but also because of the relatively abundant manpower and material resources.

The regulations for the preparation of festivals and social dramas to celebrate the autumn harvest in various places have also been reported early, and the corresponding expenses and labor are paid from the surplus of the local public use, without any additional expenses.

In fact, the population structure of Huaizhen is generally young, and there are almost no old people, because there are basically no old people who can live long to the war period of the best men in the hot pot years, so the oldest group of them is the disabled retired veterans who are about forty years old.

Therefore, at least in the next ten years, Huaidi's social system is at the most dynamic and energetic stage.

On the other hand, under the addition of smooth water and land logistics and busy economic circulation, Huaidong, which was originally centered on six states, has gradually abandoned the relatively small and fully self-sufficient manor and forest economic system, and according to the special and advantages of the region, the division of labor has been refined into a lot of specialized planting, or large-scale breeding of large-scale farms and tunwei organizations.

Then, under the deployment and guidance of the macro level led by the two governments, a wider range of resource complementarity and circulation efficiency have been realized; While opening up sources and reducing expenditures, increasing management efficiency and effectively improving the ability of organization and mobilization, it also bundles the livelihood and needs of most of the population of Huaidong in disguised form within the system with Huaidong characteristics.

The relative prosperity and prosperity of this virtuous circle have even driven and benefited the border population and the displaced people waiting for quarantine in the newly developed areas of the surrounding areas. At least after they were included in the management of Huaidong, although there were still many examples of death from overwork or illness, it was almost a difficult thing to have another chance of starvation.

However, this system also has corresponding limitations and major drawbacks, that is, it is quite dependent on the overall control and macro-control of the overall environment; In other words, once they lose guidance and deployment from the top, the tunzhuang and other settlement organizations in these places can easily fall into difficulties and crises that are struggling to move forward.

However, these drawbacks and hidden worries can only be regarded as secondary problems for the development of Huaizhen today, and there is no chance to highlight them; On the contrary, this can be regarded as some kind of insurance measures and countermeasures for potential unstable factors and hidden dangers at the grassroots level from the economic lifeline.

Transformed into the most simple reality level and the corresponding propaganda slogan, that is, without the management and protection of Huaizhen, there would be no good life for them to settle down; As long as there are no people who can form this basic understanding, they deserve to be abandoned and excluded from this system.

Moreover, the continuous wars in the outside world and the continuous influx of migrants under the rule of Huaizhen have further lowered the psychological expectations and contentment of local residents and immigrants in disguise. After all, with a sufficient number of examples of tragic encounters and testimonies, it is natural to remind those who have settled down that the preciousness and cherishing of the status quo are precious.

In a sense, they are all my experiments and ready-made sociological materials, which are used to constantly try to find a unique social evolution route with Huaidong characteristics.

In the past few years, the population outside the various nominal arrangements has once again reached a quarter of Huaidong, but the vast majority of them are benign populations that have been included in the normal household registration, taxation and military service management.

As a spontaneous supplement to the general direction of Huaizhen's economy, the economic component of some private guilds, craftsmen, technicians, handicraft workshop owners, and small and medium-sized merchants is supported by this relatively free non-management population.

During this period, the local officials at the grassroots level and the clerks at the lowest level were almost gradually replaced or remodeled, and most of the traces and residual effects left by the old era were removed.

Wait until they slowly climb to those positions in the middle and lower classes, those transitional candidates who were retained before the establishment of Huaizhen; Except for some of those who are actively going in and adapting to the new situation, and continue to use it to maintain the corresponding competition and vitality, the rest can completely step aside to make way for them.

On the other hand

The gold mining, smelting and casting of Sanshan Island and Furong Gou are also getting better. With the flow operations of steam machinery and conveyor belt crushing, grinding, filtration, and sedimentation, as well as high-calorific value lignite and melting and casting blast furnaces, they have been put into those deep pits and mines, and the amount of gold produced every month has reached 6,100 taels;

Then remove some gold ingots for industrial use and nominal display of production; Most of the others are doped with a small amount of other precious metals such as silver, copper, tin, etc., and are secretly cast and rolled into ten and three gold, two kinds of gold treasures of nine points of color;

It is used to purchase property in the south or exchange small denominations and more convenient circulation of large and small silver treasures, white coins and green coins to meet the needs of various middle and lower class currency circulation in Huaizhen.

This is a potential currency war in sorts, but on a less spectacular scale.

Because of the economic depression caused by the war and the easier preservation of the value of precious metals, the exchange market price of gold treasure money is one or two percent higher than the exchange price of the official exchange bureau; Therefore, the final price of these privately minted gold treasures can reach about 80,000 yuan, and if it is exchanged for physical goods, the specific premium will be higher.

Of course, in fact, under my direct inquiry, there is also a special small department with a higher degree of secrecy, which is composed of those former Northern court craftsmen who have been captured and returned;

Their task is to use these precious metal raw materials to make fake antiques and so-called court artifacts of the Northern Dynasty by means of using acid and alkali to make old ones, and then auction and sell them through the relationship channels of the Guangfu family to obtain higher added value and huge profits.

It's hard to say about the local wealthy families in Guangfu, but there is still a lot of demand for the overseas domain's market, such as spending a lot of money to buy one or two pieces back, as heirlooms or decorative furnishings, there are still many people;

However, due to the tightening of the apportionment and expropriation of overseas feudal domains, the market in this area has weakened somewhat in recent years, so the income in this area has shrunk considerably.

However, as long as it continues to be maintained, there will still be considerable additional income and input.

However, the reality of the situation will give me so much time to bury my head and develop and make a smooth transition

After taking my family to participate in the large-scale lantern parade and food tasting activities of the Pengcheng Shennong Festival, I received some kind of bad news.

First of all, Jinghu Lake changed and the rogue plundered and could not be controlled; Then the Great Cloud Sect came out of Fujian, and the southeast coast was in turmoil one after another; In the future, even the daily communication with Jiangning Xingtai has been temporarily cut off.

According to the eyeliner feedback from Yangzhou, Jiangbei, Jingkou and Runzhou on the other side have been shrouded in fireworks that cover the sky. (To be continued.) )
