Chapter 142: Coming to Haiwei Again
After a period of construction, Haiwei City has been renovated, and all the old buildings in the past have been demolished and rebuilt according to the specifications of the metropolis. And because it was built later, both the style and quality have learned a lot of previous experience, and it is better than the previous construction of the capital.
In the past, Haiwei City was at best a landlord-style management, and it only existed for the purpose of making and selling salt.
Now, after Liu Ye's guidance, Haiwei City has established a direction based on the salt industry and striving to develop economy and commerce. Because of this, the citizens of Haiwei City are actually much more comfortable than the citizens of the capital, because there are abundant materials, hunting is convenient, and the environment is not to mention.
Before the war, sea-view houses were sought after by many wealthy people, but now everyone in Haiwei City lives in sea-view houses, and they are all two-story small bungalows.
The population of Haiwei City is not large, but the area is not small. In the past, these places were forcibly occupied by Jiang Hai's group, and more than a dozen salt workers were crammed into a house of more than 10 square meters, and the living conditions were extremely bad.
In such an environment, the workers were enslaved to work.
Since Liu Ye took charge of Haiwei City, the living conditions of these workers have completely changed. Not only did everyone have a spacious dwelling, but they also had plenty of food and warm clothing, which was unheard of in the last days.
In fact, their living conditions in the past were normal, and slaves and workers in the wasteland were the lowest level of labor. If you don't squeeze them desperately, how can you be worthy of the little food that you have to share with them.
Even if they don't change their working conditions, the salt workers in Haiwei City will not complain in the slightest. Most of them have lived like this since childhood, and they have long been used to it.
But Liu Ye doesn't think so, he has lived before the war and understands a truth. How important these skilled workers are to the development of society. Without them, there would not be so many brilliant civilizations.
Therefore, to be kind to them is to be kind to yourself.
As Liu Ye expected, the great improvement in treatment has had an effect. The salt workers who are satisfied with food, clothing, housing and transportation have not only greatly improved their labor efficiency, but also begun to take the initiative to think about how to improve the salt production process, making it easier for themselves and producing more salt.
The process of making salt has been in place for decades, and the skilled craftsmanship of the workers has long made them feel that some links can be discarded and others can be replenished.
Liu Ye's soil salt-making process is actually not as advanced as the salt-making process they have mastered in terms of procedure, but Liu Ye's salt-making materials are selected from the soil, opening up a new direction of salt-making, which makes the workers extremely valued.
As soon as the workers spontaneously improved the salt-making process, various ideas that had been accumulated before were immediately put into practice, and the salt-making efficiency of Haiwei City was increased by at least 50% at once.
If you count your fingers, the salt produced in three months is enough to support the use of two cities for a year, and it can also be exported to other cities.
It's just that the current 'traffic' is not yet smooth, and the 'trade' of salt cannot be realized for the time being. In the past, Haiwei City only sold salt in two ways, one was to buy it from neighboring cities, and the other was to 'exchange' it in a unified way in the wasteland.
At present, neither of these methods has much effect, and the nearest city is at least 300 kilometers away, except for the capital. With such a long journey, the average small city simply does not have the capacity to transport.
As for the latter, the annual interval is still early.
However, the completion of the railway has greatly shortened the distance between the two cities. In the past, it used to take at least five days for city residents to travel round trip, but now it has been reduced to one day.
This time, because I had to carry a large number of supplies, I didn't load too many things on the carriage. In the future, as the number of carriages gradually increases, more and more city residents will take the train to and from the city.
Such exchanges will greatly benefit the development of the two cities, and different types of cities can learn from each other's strengths and improve each other.
The train beeped and began to slow down. This beep was specially 'made' by Liu Ye, and it was originally only a specialty of steam locomotives. It's just that Liu Ye has an old steam locomotive where he has lived since he was a child, and he falls asleep listening to such a beep every day, and now it makes him feel very special when he hears it.
The station in Haiwei City was not far away, and everyone began to prepare to get off the train. One by one, the goods were transported, and the people were instructed to hurry up and transport him to the designated place.
People were carrying goods in an orderly manner, but there was a lot of 'commotion' ahead.
"What's going on? This is ......" Liu Ye and the others walked out of the platform according to the sound, but found that a large group of Haiwei citizens had gathered in front of them, blocking all the roads.
"The lord of the city is out! Everyone greets the Castle Lord! The leader was the old man named Gu Yang that Liu Ye saw that day.
With the old man's words, everyone knelt down in an uproar.
"What are you doing here?" In the face of everyone's kneeling, Liu Ye was completely a 'door' mush.
"Thank you Lord for your care and love for our citizens of Haiwei, and thank you Lord for everything you have done for us!" Gu Yang led everyone around him to shout loudly.
"What the hell is going on? Nan Tiancheng explain it to me! As the chief executive of Haiwei City, it is impossible for Nan Tiancheng not to know the reason.
In fact, it was exactly like this, Nan Tiancheng was snickering on the side, and when he heard Liu Ye ask him, he raised his head and smiled: "I didn't expect it!" Liu Ye! As soon as I came up, I was in a big battle! ”
"Don't be verbose! Hurry up and explain it to me! "A black line appeared on the 'door' of Liu Ye's brain. (One light click of yours warms my entire codeword life.) Literature Network Military History Channel, more 'fine' color content is waiting for you! )
"Hey! You also have times when you are in a hurry! Don't forget how you whetted my appetite in the first place! 'Trade' for Oh, tell me the secret you're preparing, and I'll tell you what's going on, is this 'trade' still fair? Nan Tiancheng said slyly.
"Huh! Nan Tiancheng, don't forget, I'm your boss, what if I order you to explain? Nan Tiancheng's little bend and disturbance, Liu Ye would not be clear, and said directly at the moment.
Nan Tiancheng still looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "Order me?" Liu Ye, then I can also excuse myself and say I don't know! ”
"You think I can't help it if you don't know! Hum! Lie 'Meng', you come! Liu Ye suddenly turned to ask others.
"Yes! Castle Lord! The city lord of Guyang is to thank the development of Haiwei City and the improvement of the living conditions of the citizens, and he has come to thank you for it! Lie 'Meng' replied.
"Hey! Lie 'Meng'! Why are the two of us colleagues too, you just don't give me face like this! Seeing the launch of the Lie 'Meng' combination, Nan Tiancheng immediately shouted dissatisfied.
"You are a colleague, he is the city lord, who do you say I listen to!" Lie 'Meng' replied unceremoniously.
"Well said!" Bei Nanyi, who had been watching coldly, suddenly praised Lie Meng, usually because he was not as good as Nan Tiancheng in terms of words, he was always deflated. Now that I have finally witnessed Nan Tiancheng being deflated once, my heart is really very comfortable.
"Good, good!" Nan Tiancheng was choked by the two of them and said yes three times in a row, and he was really speechless.
Seeing Nan Tiancheng's expression, everyone laughed.
"Sure enough, it's the style of the North Mourning, as long as you encounter a flaw, you will not hesitate to attack! Tiancheng also deserves it! Hey, hey, who wants you to mess with me! Liu Ye shook his head and said narrowly.
However, Liu Ye still didn't understand a little, and asked again: "What great thing have I done for Haiwei City?" Why would they make such a big fuss? ”
"Liu Ye, don't you know? Those are your orders! Build Haiwei City, treat Haiwei citizens equally, and all specifications are done in accordance with the specifications of the metropolis! Lie Meng said on the side.
"That's it? What are these? Aren't they all things to do? Liu Ye is even more strange, he has done so much for the capital, but he has never seen such a big move by the people of the capital.
...... "Lie 'Meng' didn't know how to explain it.
Nan Tiancheng rolled his eyes, it seemed that he had to come out: "Liu Ye! You think this is in the capital! There are less than ten cities in the wasteland that can meet the living conditions of the people of the capital in the past, and it is already a great gift for ordinary people to give him food and not let him starve to death! Where is it like now to provide clothes, send houses, and teach them to be able to Xuanqi without 'selfishness', such a city lord is hard to find in the world! ”
"It's that good!" Liu Ye pointed at himself stupidly, unable to believe it.
"Yes!" They all nodded their heads in unison, and they all felt the same thing.
"It only takes that to make them do this?" Liu Ye still asked stupidly.
"Well......" everyone nodded in unison again with some impatience.
"Am I really a good person?" Liu Ye has to inch in.
"Well...... Cut!! Everyone nodded again in reflex, and suddenly reacted. Qi Qi stretched out the third finger of his right hand and gestured, his face full of disdain.
"Damn!" This gesture was 'handed over' to them by Liu Ye, but I didn't expect it to be learned by them today.
"Aren't you just a good person? I don't want to admit it! It's stingy! Liu Ye's face was full of anger.
