Brothers, the third watch is coming!

Just went to Sanjiang, Sanjiang needs ticket support! Sanjiang voting has bonus points, brothers, give it a little bit!

There are only a few votes over there, and it's pitiful!

――――

The people cut their braids, although the houses are still dilapidated, the clothes are also tattered, and the nutritional status is very good, but the atmosphere is completely new.

Life will slowly get better.

The most significant thing is the change in clothing, because Xia Jun built a textile factory, the price of cotton cloth has been greatly reduced, and the northwest of Fujian is tax-free, and the people have some money in their pockets, which is much better.

Those who work on construction sites and factories also get paid, and those who work on construction sites and factories have solved the problem of food and clothing.

Recently, the troops have been going to the countryside more frequently, and Xia Jun directly exchanged 100,000 points of compound fertilizer from the system, that is, 10,000 tons.

10,000 tons of compound fertilizer is enough for all paddy fields to be sprinkled with chemical fertilizer, after all, there are only about 2 million mu of paddy fields in northern Fujian.

So every household got the fertilizer, and the landlords needed to buy it with money, and the price was fair.

The people had just received free fertilizer, and there was news that the security regiment was going to give them chickens, and sure enough, a few days later, the children of the security regiment came again and sent a large cart of chickens, and each household distributed ten.

At this time, I heard that the security corps was going to pull electric lights and lay water pipes in the village, and the plan to build roads on the part of the Autonomous Council was also approved, and the security corps was going to build a school in the village......

All kinds of news came, and the people felt like a dream, and it was really a good time.

Under Xia Jun's unremitting guidance, the people's sentiment index went all the way up, and it was only in mid-August that the people's sentiment index rose to 4.93.

Xia Jun loves the people so much, and the administrative staff below don't dare to mess around.

What's more, the current administrators have begun to be selected from the school, and Xia Jun has selected a group of radicals from the university and assigned them to serve.

These radicals go to the local government and take everything seriously.

At the same time, many students have joined the Propaganda Department, and science and engineering students are often arranged to practice in factories and construction sites.

The management methods of chicken farms have been written into detailed manuals, which require cultural people to manage.

This month, northwest Fujian is full of construction sites, laying water pipes, erecting electric wires, opening roads, and repairing hydropower stations......

Because of the water conservancy, the waterway of Jianxi was directly stopped, so that the price of rice in Fuzhou skyrocketed for three days, and when Xia Jun transported the rice to Fuzhou by tractor, the grain price stabilized.

For a while, those boatmen who relied on the waterway to eat had no business, but Xia Jun's freight company has been very busy recently, and almost all the freight in the upper and lower reaches of the Min River fell on Xia Jun's freight company.

In order to appease the emotions of those boatmen, Xia Jun hired them, and each boatman gave three silver dollars a month. As soon as the channel opens, a 30-ton wheel can pass at that time, and Xia Jun also needs someone to drive the ship.

Recently, the goods shipped from Fuzhou to the upstream are basically extinct foreign cloth, and the cotton cloth of the textile mill has been sold all over Fujian at this time, and the price has an overwhelming advantage.

However, out of Fujian, the competitiveness is reduced.

First of all, the freight has increased, which is not the main problem, the main problem is that there are more taxes, and as soon as it is shipped out of the province, it will be charged more than a dozen nominal taxes, which will make the price increase a lot.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the main reason why the national industry could not develop was this tax.

However, even after the cotton cloth of the Xixiang Textile Factory was collected more than a dozen nominal taxes, the price was still not far behind the foreign cloth, and the quality was still better, and the competitiveness was still there, but the competitiveness was not so obvious.

During this period, China had to import 100 million yuan of cotton cloth every year, and at the same time import 1.5 million quintals of cotton yarn and 100,000 quintals of cotton every year.

With a population of only 400 million, China does not lack the land needed to grow cotton, but it still needs to be imported, which suggests that there are production problems.

At the same time, the import volume of cotton yarn is 15 times that of cotton imports, which shows that China's textile industry is very weak.

The purpose of Xia Jun's factory is nothing more than two, one is to regain the domestic market and squeeze out foreign goods to prevent capital outflow.

The second is to export and earn capital from foreigners.

Textile mills and paper mills, is Xia Jun launched the first counterattack, foreigners cotton and paper in Fujian has no market, and the road to Xianxia Pass is built very quickly, at this time has begun to dig tunnels, in another month can be opened to traffic.

The engineering team hired on the exchange platform is divided into more than a dozen road sections to carry out the construction, and the speed is naturally very fast.

When the highway in Xianxia Pass is opened to traffic, Xia Jun can directly use a truck to transport cotton cloth to Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces, who dares to collect taxes for armed escort?

In mid-August, Chen Jiayi sent a telegram back from the United States that the trading company had been registered in San Francisco.

The list of goods to be imported Xia Jun has already been prepared, the largest of which is oil, Xia Jun wants to use oil to make plastics, nitrogen fertilizer, and at the same time use oil to produce lighters.

The second is those chemical materials, papermaking, metallurgy and everything need chemical materials, these chemical materials are still directly exchanged by Xia Jun from the system, and these burdens must be thrown away.

Money is not a problem, the brother-in-law has already opened the bank.
