After this little episode, Yang Chong's heart was a little heavy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt wasn't until he came to the desert that he felt a lot more relaxed.

This is the largest desert in Linhai Province, occupying one-third of the land area of Linhai Province. Except for the area around the Huanming Expressway, there are a few inns for people to rest, and there are few people.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the development of Linhai Province. Although it was the first province in the Ming Dynasty to establish a town, due to the influence of the climate, its ranking has been declining among the five provinces and two cities in the local area.

It was first surpassed by Nanhai Province and then by Southern Province. Now except for Xinhua Province and the Municipality of Guangfu, after it. The other provinces, all before it. Even the overseas province of Andong has surpassed the province of Linhai in terms of economic index.

This third-to-last seat is really uncomfortable. As a result, the governor of Linhai Province was also criticized by the top level of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, Linhai Province is close to Mingjing and has a congenital geographical advantage. Although the local climatic conditions are not satisfactory, it is impossible to develop so slowly.

So Mu Chun, the Minister of the Interior of the Ming Dynasty, also took a series of economic departments such as the Department of Commerce and the Department of Industry to Linhai Province for inspection. Only then did it become clear that the local government had made a fundamental mistake in the development plan of Linhai Province.

Because the leadership of Linhai Province has always been dominated by agriculture. The long coastline and abundant minerals are guarded in vain, and they are not exploited. As a result, under the influence of the tropical desert climate, there were big problems in the development of agriculture.

The most fundamental problem is the lack of water.

Originally, precipitation in the local area was very scarce, and large rivers were also very rare. Cultivating fertile land, planting pasture, and fresh water resources will become more and more scarce. As a result, the fertile land that was finally reclaimed and the pasture grass that was planted were buried alive by the quicksand.

But the leadership of Linhai Province does not know how to converge yet. Again and again, again and again in one acre and three points of land. As a result, it was repeated over and over again, but it didn't make any name for it.

In fact, if you follow the development plan of the Ming Dynasty, Linhai Province's approach is not wrong. Because the leadership of the Ming Dynasty once proposed to let all provinces and cities cultivate more fertile land and raise livestock and livestock. In order to alleviate the situation of food shortage in Daming.

Moreover, food security is related to the stable development of the whole society. Therefore, all provinces and municipalities are trying their best to solve this urgent problem. I also want to make some political achievements so as to improve the room for promotion.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Linhai Province has vigorously developed agriculture.

After learning about this crux of the problem, Mu Chun used the power of minister to remove a large number of administrative personnel in Linhai Province. And carefully study the mineral advantages of Linhai Province, and formulate a development plan of 'establishing a province with iron'.

After all, Xihai City, in the south of Linhai Province, contains extremely rich iron ore. And the burial is not deep, and the mining is convenient. What's more, south of Seasea City, there are the Fortis Hill and Ashburton rivers. Although it is a seasonal river, it can solve the problem of water scarcity if it is used well.

This has laid a good innate condition for the development of industry.

Compared with the steel plant located in Mingjing City, this has a very obvious location advantage. Because the iron and steel mills in Mingjing all purchased iron ore from Xihai City. Among them, the freight is a lot of loss. As a result, the price of steel has been raised a lot.

However, once Xihai City is built into a steel capital, the price of steel in the Ming Dynasty will definitely drop by one to two percent. Not to mention that in foreign trade, it can achieve greater advantages. Even the development of people's livelihood can also play a role in promoting.

In the end, the price of steel is low, and people can save a lot of money when building houses. So that they can turn to consumption and improve the quality of life.

But the matter of steel, in this era, still involves a lot of secrets. Previously, the steel plant was located in Mingjing, which was heavily protected.

If it is transferred to the city of Xihai, the issue of leaks must be taken into account. Therefore, Mu Chun couldn't make the decision alone, so he reported to Yang Chong and took it to the cabinet for discussion. In the end, considering the right time and place, it was decided to relocate the steel plant to Xihai City.

The first reason for this is the economy. After all, relocating to Xihai City can reduce the cost of steel. At the same time, it can promote the development of Xihai City and improve the economic level of Linhai Province. For the country and the people, it is a great benefit.

So after thinking about it, Yang Chong and the cabinet ministers all agreed to relocate.

In addition, the steel plant is a very polluting factory. Not only is the exhaust gas emitted amazing, but the sewage is constantly discharged. And in this era, the technical conditions are limited. Despite the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of pollution control talents.

But that also requires equipment and conditions!

In particular, some equipment with high requirements and high precision cannot be produced by Daming at all. Even Britain, which was the first to launch the Industrial Revolution, did not have that production capacity. Therefore, the matter of pollution control can only be talked about on paper.

This makes the environment near the steel plant very polluted. The foul black smoke caused the nearby people to suffer from respiratory diseases to varying degrees. The black sewage makes the local coast stinky and full of dead fish.

Later, the Hope District was destroyed, and the steel plant was relocated to Linbei District for reconstruction. Although the production level before the typhoon has not been fully restored, the environmental pollution has already taken a hit.

If this continues, it is easy to repeat the mistakes of smog and haze in later generations.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty and a model city to the outside world, it is natural that it cannot follow this old road. So moving to Xihai City is a very good idea.

What's more, Mingjing City is too vulnerable to the threat of wind disasters. Naturally, such an important building as a steel mill can no longer be destroyed. In Xihai City, not only is precipitation scarce every year, but the climate is also very dry. If you move to the local area, you don't have to worry about wind damage. Second, there are no conditions for smog.

At this point, Xihai City's 'Steel Capital' plan was officially formed.

Yang Chong's visit to Linhai Province will naturally not miss this key city. Therefore, he did not delay for long in the Linhai Municipal District, and continued to go south. The scenery on the road is also extremely charming. In particular, when you pass through the vicinity of the Great Sand Desert, you will see the sea with magnificent waves on one side and the endless desert on the other.

The winding Huanming Expressway is like a jade belt, separating the desert from the sea.

For this reason, the locals also call this section of the road 'Heavenly Road'!

It is also because its scenery is so beautiful and looks very magical, so it enjoys this honor.

However, this heavenly road, when it really walks, is not as beautiful as imagined. Because along the way, there is constantly quicksand invading the road. There are even sections of the road that are completely submerged under quicksand. Layers of seawater, unhindered, wash the quicksand.

Due to the high salinity, there are few green plants in these places. So that the sea water is also like a stagnant water without half a vitality.

Yang Chong looked at it and licked his dry lips.

At the moment he was sitting in the carriage and opened the curtains. The whole body is also wearing only a pair of large pants. But on his body, sweat was like rain. Princess Yuxuan sat next to her, leaning softly against the car window.

Her black hair was also wet with sweat. Make the jade spin, simply use a belt, and coil the hair high behind the head. But the clothes on her body were tightly attached to her body as if they had been fished out of water.

It's too hot here! The accompanying personnel were a little unbearable. The guards in charge of security, and many of them suffered from heat stroke. Even the camels pulling the carts died of heat.
