As Yu Guozhen expected, Fang Kongzhi was imprisoned in July of the twelfth year of Chongzhen for "delaying the military plane" and "losing the division".

However, when the news reached his ears, the others had already arrived in Changhua, located in Changhua Port, which is near the sea in Changhua County.

"It seems that Changhua Port is available, and there is no need to transfer to Haiwei Old City." Yu Guozhen straightened up and said to Wan Shihua to the side: "Mr. Maosheng is still meticulous in his work, much more careful than my cursory look, which also saves time and effort!" ”

"Thank you, my lord, since I took office, I didn't dare to slack off, and I traveled all over the coastal and key places of Changhua in three months, and it was finally a little small."

Wan Shihua is still short and thin, but his mental head is very good, because of nutrition and exercise, his body not only did not collapse because of hard work, but became healthier. He stroked his beard and looked at the blue water in front of him with a smile, as well as dozens of fishing boats of all sizes on the sea, and said proudly.

Originally, Yu Guozhen wanted to set the port of Changhua County in Haiwei Old City, which is a natural harbor and has always been a place where Han fishermen live, but after a personal survey, Wan Shihua felt that Changhua was enough to supply Xinxiang: the planned port here, the south bank and the north bank of the Changhua River are only two miles apart, the planned port is three miles long from east to west, and two and a half miles wide from north to south. In addition, the nearby river sand resources are abundant, which is suitable for construction. There is a small island called Sitong in the south of the port, and the water depth reaches 15 meters in the open sea five miles, if you want to expand Changhua Port in ten or twenty years, you can reclaim the sea here to build a port. It forms a deep-water port where 10,000-ton ships can dock.

Just as Yu Guozhen asked Wan Shihua, this kind of strategic planning should not only be considered in three or five years, but in thirty or fifty years. In the self-study and teaching manual for administrative officials in Xinxiang, Yu Guozhen pointed out very directly: In the future, ships will be built bigger and bigger, and it is not surprising that there will be 100,000-ton ships, and it is estimated that there will be 10,000-ton giant ships within 20 or 30 years. Therefore, some important ports with suitable conditions must consider the needs of twenty or thirty years after the construction of them, and should not be short-sighted. Do destructive construction.

"The Changhua River still needs to be dredged, and strive to allow 100-ton ships to pass smoothly, and then on land. Build the embankment along the river bank, and then build a road outside the river embankment, and reserve the construction space of the track, including the section from Shilu to the Fork River, ready to start now, and ask Mr. Mao Sheng to do a good job of land acquisition, and be sure to make the people of Hanli along the way accept it - Mr. Zhi, what is the total length of this section of track? ”

On the side, Zhiyier, who was covered in silk and satin like a nouveau riche, smiled and said: "The villain has measured twice, and it is twenty-four miles from Shilu to Fork River. ”

"I am going to transfer the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions of the new Xiangjian Regiment. These are all elite soldiers! Yu Guozhen said: "The cement is ready to build a factory on the spot, and the steel is transported from Xinxiang, and the first battalion is transferred to build a cement factory in Chahe, Mr. Zhi said, there is excellent limestone nearby." It can be used to fire cement. Within three months, the simple road from Shilu to the Fork River and the cement kiln from the Fork River will be built, and within a year, the simple road from the Fork River to Changhua and the track from Fork River to the Fork River will be built! ”

"If you have enough people, there is no problem."

The interface is Lei Zhensheng, and the Lei family is now the chief designer of Xinxiang's engineering architecture. Not only Lei Wangcheng, an old baby-level character, but also Lei Zhensheng and Lei Zhenzhou, who are already master-level figures, after all, there are hundreds of construction practitioners like them, and even apprentices should become masters. In addition to these three, Zheng Zheng and Ding Shan of the first phase of Huwei, Li Xi and Si Shaoyu of the second phase of Huwei, can also take charge of a major construction on their own.

Yu Guozhen began to cultivate talents from Chongzhen five years ago, and now Chongzhen has been twelve years, after nine years and seven years, he finally began to bear fruit. These teenagers, who were originally unknown in history, have now grown into talents with long-term vision and ingenious means. In the first phase of Xianghuwei, in addition to the Gao brothers, there are a total of sixteen people, and now there are only three people in the army, Ye Wuya, Luo Jiuhe and Qi Niu, among the remaining thirteen people, three people died, one died of illness, and the other nine people, Zheng Zheng and Ding Shan have been transferred to engineering construction since four years ago, Pi Dingbang and Hao Nengrong are in the farm, and one of the remaining five people is in the academy, three are in various research institutes, and one is in charge of the shipyard. There are a total of eighty-three people in the second phase of the Tiger Guard, 17 people have been killed, more than 30 people are now the middle and senior generals of the Tiger Guard, and more than 30 people are also emerging in their respective posts!

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, Yu Guozhen never gave up the cultivation of talents, he never pinned his hopes on the original scholars, his own cultivation of talents, relying on his new education process, one and two two and four, there is a decade or so, he can cultivate 100,000 grassroots talents who have received basic education and can write and calculate, and when this number reaches one million, it can completely replace the cancer officials in the political history of China, and then select officials from among them, you can eliminate all the wastes from the eight stock exams.

"There is no problem with manpower, the manpower from Tamna, whether it is a Chinese person, a fresh person, or a Japanese person, I will give priority to your side. In addition, I transferred 500 grassroots personnel from Xinxiang, Hoi An, and Xinhang to help here. ”

Originally, Yu Guozhen wanted to transfer more grassroots personnel, but with his understanding of Changhua, especially Wan Shihua, who had done a lot of work after taking office, he knew that he still had some things to take for granted. For example, in terms of population, Yu Guozhen felt that Changhua was such a large county, with a population of more than 10,000, but only to know that even in the heyday of the Hongwu period, the total number of households in Changhua County was only 1,944, and the registered population was 8,361, and in the Chongzhen period, the total number of households dropped sharply to 719, with a population of 1,753!

Naturally, there is a large number of people hidden, especially the data of the Li people are not registered, but according to Wan Shihua's estimates, the population of Changhua County is at most 4,000 people...... This is too much for Yu Guozhen to send 500 grassroots personnel.

"How are these five hundred people arranged?" Wan Shihua asked.

"Those people in the county yamen don't move, you restrain them, don't let them go out of the county seat to make trouble. Gu Jiaming served as the head of the People's Armed Forces Group, responsible for military affairs, and set up four divisions of armaments, public security, conscription, and military dependents; Kong Lingyu is the head of the medical and health team, with three divisions of medical treatment, health and epidemic prevention, and fertility and population growth, and Tan Qiu is the leader of the education group, with three divisions of primary compulsory education, vocational education, and interracial education; Cheng Shituo is the head of the legal team, and there are two divisions...... of pre-law and trial.

"When the lord speaks of preparatory law, does he mean preparatory legislation?" Wan Shihua secretly remembered while listening, and when he heard this word, he raised his hand to signal Yu Guozhen to pause and then asked.

"Exactly, Xinxiang's law may not be completely suitable for the new place, in addition, Xinxiang is narrow and has few people, there must be a place that is not well considered, on top of the legislation, we must not think that the law can be implemented for a thousand years, but we can't change the order overnight, or that sentence, we must be forward-looking."

Wan Shihua nodded, and continued to listen, Yu Guozhen looked at him and said: "Set up a civil affairs group, Mr. Maosheng, you are the head of the civil affairs group, and there are four divisions of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, industry and mining, propaganda and education, and household registration, which are all mundane affairs, what does Mr. Maosheng think?" ”

"Old decay is not a waste that does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, pointing to leeks and talking about rice." Wan Shihua made a joke, and then said solemnly: "The old decay will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

"Well, set up another engineering road group, headed by Lei Zhensheng, under the survey and design, construction and maintenance, quality supervision of the three divisions, Lei Zhensheng, tracks, highways, bridges, houses, not only to consider the convenience of access, but also to consider disaster prevention and mitigation, if there is a big typhoon, I hope these can hold, what do you think?"

"Yes."

"In addition, the dredging of water conservancy facilities and rivers requires the cooperation of Mr. Maosheng and Mr. Lei, and many affairs are like this, which requires cooperation to complete, and you should encourage them!" Yu Guozhen said again.

"Yes!"

Around him, the crowd responded in an uproar.

This was the first on-site meeting that Yu Guozhen led everyone to hold in Changhua, and with his order, the first battalion of the infrastructure regiment was in Chahe, the second battalion was in Changhua, and the third battalion was in Shilu, and at the same time the unprecedented scale of the project began.

The sound of cannons and rocks in the opening of the mountain, and the sound of manpower carrying and dragging and pushing on their shoulders broke the tranquility of the Changhua mountains, and at the same time the construction was started in three places, and more than 12,000 people were mobilized, and in order to ensure the consumption of food and materials for these 12,000 people every day, it was necessary to use 500-ton transport ships, and as for the goods used at the beginning, it was necessary to use several 1,000-ton ships to go back and forth every day.

Fortunately, Changhua is close to Qinzhou, smooth wind and water, the day can arrive, but July is the windy season in Hainan, every month there is always half of the time to stop in the port to avoid the wind and waves, so this time with the good time, Yu Guozhen mobilized all the capacity that can be mobilized, and the materials transported are a total of 11,000 tons, of which the ones that are not afraid of wind and rain are stacked on the Changhua wharf, and the others are stuffed into the iron houses assembled with prefabricated parts.

It is a huge test for Xinxiang's production capacity, transportation capacity and engineering design ability, but when everyone is busy for this, Yu Guozhen, who has always taken the lead, is not at Changhua Wharf.

He took more than 30 tiger guards to an unnamed village in the southeast of Changhua.

For the people in the village, the arrival of Yu Guozhen and his entourage is extremely novel, whether it is their clothing or their words and deeds. And the people in this village, in addition to being curious about them, are more indifferent.

The kind of indifference that doesn't care about external changes and only cares about his own life.

The village is not big, only 16 families, 70 people, divided into five surnames, most of them grow some rice on the banks of the Changjiang River, and there are also some small fishing boats that cannot enter the sea to fish on the river, and their lives are extremely poor. His poverty is like this, which makes Huwei, who has gradually become accustomed to Xinxiang's wealth, feel unbelievable.

Especially Wang Qinian, his temperament is still like a child, and he also likes to show off among people of similar age, so as soon as he arrived, he began to make sugar.

The result was an incident!
