Early in the morning, the sun showed a smiling face, and Geng Jingzhong had already set off accompanied by Li Guangdi and others. These days, Geng Jingzhong has not had the slightest problem of adapting to the soil and water. This is also the result of Geng Jingzhong's long-standing emphasis on health safety.

"Brother Li, it seems that the results achieved here in the past six months have been remarkable! This has just entered the scope of Xinhenan County, and the construction of this village is quite neat! Didn't find any debris on the road, very nice!" When I was patrolling around the inner lake yesterday, it was still the same as before, because it was still managed by the original natives, and the military families had not yet begun to emigrate, so it was still the same as before, and it had not changed at all.

"It is also the wisdom of the prince, the health regulations you listed earlier have made a big difference in Luzon. The climate of Luzon Island is very different from Fujian, and it is even more different from Henan and Hubei on the mainland. It is extremely common for people to be unaccustomed to the water and soil when they first arrive in a foreign place, but it is the health regulations implemented by you, Lord Wang, although many of these hundreds of thousands of new immigrants are sick, they are basically very mild, and most of those who are sick do not listen to advice. It can be said that since the implementation of this health regulation, whether it is Fujian or the new territory of Luzon, the sickness rate has been greatly reduced.

"This matter must not be sloppy, we are new to the city, and it is normal to be dissatisfied with this side of the water and soil. Luzon is in the tropics, and there are far more snakes, insects, rats and ants than we have inland, and most of them are something we have never encountered, and they all have poison and bacteria on them. Once the immigrants are recruited. It's hard to heal, too! At the beginning of construction, these debris were cleaned as much as possible. Pay more attention to daily life, it is good for themselves, and I think the people should not be so rejecting this article!" Geng Jingzhong smiled slightly.

"What the prince said is very true, at the beginning, it was necessary to send an inspection team to constantly supervise, but within a few days, some immigrants drank raw water and fell ill, and some immigrants suffered from poisonous insects, and the immigrants were much more serious in implementing the rules! There are grassroots officials who continue to preach the dangers of not paying attention to hygiene. The most direct one is that there is a shortage of medical treatment on Luzon Island, and if you are really sick or bitten by poisonous insects, you will be stung, but there is no medicine for you!" Lee Kwang-di is still very satisfied with the implementation of the new immigrants, and this matter is related to the safety of the immigrants themselves, but it saves Lee Guang-di a lot of things.

"Which town is this boundary in now? The road seems to be better than the previous town! Geng Jingzhong and the others have always been riding on horses and have not taken carriages. The view from all sides is unobstructed. Now the road leading to the village has been built. Although it is not a concrete road, it is paved with a layer of bricks.

"Back to the prince, this place belongs to Xinyang Town, and the roads in this town are the best. There are more than 50 families in the town who used to work in kilns and would build kilns to burn bricks. Coincidentally, this area is now rich in clay, and the mayor of the town, Hua Youfu, organized these potters to open up a place to build kilns and burn bricks. No, in just a few months, the brick road between the fifteen villages in Xinyang Town has been repaired, and this road surface is smoother than the stone road under our feet! Li Guangdi has also come down to inspect several times these days, and he is still very familiar with the changes below.

Geng Jingzhong looked at the red road that led into the distance, which was really good. It looks very comfortable. "Oh, it's Hua Youfu, that big fat man? He doesn't seem like a newcomer, does he? ”

"Back to the prince, he is indeed not an immigrant, he was originally the head of the Hai family, and he was responsible for managing the three manors in the northeast of the Hai family. After he temporarily became the mayor of Xinyang Town, he was very effective in carrying out the orders issued by the Governor's Palace, which was also due to his ability to handle local affairs. Hua Youfu's vision is good, before you ordered the people to build factories and production, he had already organized the construction of two kilns, an oil mill and two wineries. The funds and materials he lacked were all borrowed from the Hai family, no, it was only three months, and the money he borrowed from the Hai family had already been repaid! The number of new immigrants is huge, and there is a shortage of all kinds of materials, and several workshops he organized were the first to open up sales, occupy a large market share, and make a lot of money! It can be said that Li Guangdi is still very interested in this big fat man, if it weren't for the fact that local construction is also very important, he would like to transfer Hua Youfu to his side and listen to it.

"Oh! Does he still have the ability? It's a business background! Hehe, this king wants such a talent! Let's go and take a look inside the town! The purpose of their trip was to check at will, and there was plenty of time, Geng Jingzhong took the lead, and dozens of horses turned around and walked towards the streets of Xinyang Town.

At this time, Xinyang Town was similar to other townships, and the streets in the town were all new. The main building was left by the Spaniards, and it was originally just a simple trading market about seventy or eighty meters away from the houses in a straight line on both sides, and the largest building was the Catholic church. Today, this Catholic church is the office of the mayor of the town and his subordinates. However, only three days ago, the healer and the thirty apprentices who had been sent to the town had arrived in a group, and the most luxurious house in the town was of course used as a medical hall. Fortunately, after the new immigrants moved in, especially after the two kilns were built, more than two dozen new houses were built and new shops were opened. There are still a few empty houses, so he, the mayor of the town, will take a break.

It's good that new houses have been built in this town, but there are not many people who want to do business, and even fewer people who have the courage to rent a shop. Even though Lee Kwang-di kept the town propagandizing that there was no longer a distinction between untouchables and lowly industries in Luzon and that everyone was equal, there were still very few people willing to do business, and the vast majority of them went to work on the fields. Even a few workshops in the town, if it were not for the high wages, those workers who had fields would not want to leave their fields and run to the town. One of their family's fields can only be taken care of by their wives and children!

"Tsk, that's fast! It's only been less than half a year to develop well, this Hua Youfu is just a town mayor, it's a pity, he should be promoted to the county magistrate of New Henan County! "Although the street in this town is still a main road and has no branches, it is obvious that this place is very popular. There are 30,000 people in a town, and the demand for daily necessities alone is a large number, plus there are other consumptions, which need to be done by someone. There are enough people in Geng Jingzhong's group, and at a glance, they know that they are coming from Manila City, full of official style, and pedestrians on the road have taken the initiative to give way.

On both sides of the street, Geng Jingzhong counted 43 shops, rice shops, oil mills, tea houses, wine shops, restaurants, cloth villages, tailor shops, etc., all of different sizes. For example, there is a rice store in the north and south, and the banners are the banker's rice store and the Li family's rice store, as for the cloth village, there are Hai's and Kunpeng firms, and it is clear that most of the shops here are still bought or rented by these families, and most of the people who do business are not immigrants.

"There are a dozen or so stores here, what's going on? Has it been bought? Geng Jingzhong asked, pointing to the remaining dozen or so shops that had not yet opened.

Li Guangdi seemed to have known that Geng Jingzhong would ask this question, and then said: "Back to the prince, this is also Hua Youfu's shrewdness, he knows that the houses in this town will become more and more valuable, so he has not sold any of the houses in this town, even the Hai family, his old owner. All of them are rents, and the rent they get every month is nearly 100 taels. The remaining dozen or so shops here are to be left to the people of the town, and there will be people in the town who are willing to rent the shops to do business, so he wants to leave some spare for the town. As far as my subordinates know, there are many merchants who come to Luzon and want to buy a shop here to do business after checking out the new immigrant town! However, the town did not agree, but it is said that Hua Youfu accepted the deposit from these merchants, saying that when the street was expanded again, he would leave one or two rooms for them! ”

Geng Jingzhong kept sighing in his heart, this is really similar to the starting point town he planned to build, it seems to be engaged in real estate, real estate is indeed the most profitable way, as long as the popularity of this place is getting more and more popular, the land price on the town will rise immediately. Fortunately, this Xinyang Town is only renting and not selling, but it has taken a good step, and when the town has developed to a certain point, looking back at the current price, anyone who sells it will regret it!

Before the group reached the center of the street, Hua Youfu came out to greet the town's officials. He also just received a report from his subordinates, Geng Jingzhong and his entourage came really suddenly, although they all expected Geng Jingzhong to inspect the next town, but they didn't know the specific date of the trip, plus the town's affairs were busy, and they were recruiting soldiers and apprentices in the medical hall, so they were so busy that they couldn't take care of Geng Jingzhong's inspection. The Geng Jingzhong people had all entered the town, and the police patrolling the town ran into the town office to report.

"My subordinates have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen the Chief of the General Staff!" Hua Youfu took the lead in bending down and saluting.

"My subordinates have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen the Chief of the General Staff!" The officials behind did the same, and they also saluted and shouted in unison, in fact, they didn't know who His Royal Highness was, only a few people who had seen Li Guangdi could tell that the one next to Li Guangdi was the prince!
