I Will Be King in Troubled Times Chapter 27 New Farm and Rifle Town
The Ministry of Health has set up an epidemic prevention observation station at the eastern foot of Lianhua Town, where full-time personnel are stationed to inspect, guide and supervise the epidemic prevention work, paying special attention to the construction location of public toilets and the disposal of excrement.
The sewer construction in Lotus Town is a daunting task, unlike Jixiang City, which is divided into four separate sewerage lines to avoid the many rivers and lakes. In this way, there are four places to dispose of garbage, and in order not to affect the surrounding air and water sources, a special factory has been built for isolation, and it can be said that Wang Xuan and the Government Council have done everything they can.
After Wang Xuan returned to Jixiang City in the evening, the fourth child of the first special service team had been waiting for a long time.
"In this way, His Highness is bent on seeking death. Wang Xuan couldn't accept this reality for a while, although he was worried about the second prince's persistence, but he was just worried, but now it has become a reality, which makes him sigh.
"We hid for a few days, and His Royal Highness was embarrassed and angry in the royal capital to start a Zhulian, and the Second Highness knew that it was a plan, or went out without hesitation, and the next day he set himself on fire and burned the entire palace. However, the camouflage at the scene is difficult to debunk, and His Royal Highness personally participates, so there is no need to worry about the identity of the princess and the prince being revealed. The fourth brother replied, and by the way, handed over the jade pendant to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan carefully observed the jade pendant for a while, this is a token of love between the two, and the second prince actually returned it back when he parted, the meaning of which is self-evident.
In Great Bactria, if one of the husband and wife is widowed, the other can be remarried.
But there are two kinds of remarriage, one is that the other party leaves a token of love, which is not blessed by the world and will be regarded as an act of infatuation with lust. One is that the other party took the initiative to return the love token, which indicates that the other party hopes that he will remarry and live a new life, and this remarriage is generally appreciated and blessed by the world, even if the deceased elders and relatives will not beak.
The princess is thirty-five or sixteen, although she has given birth twice, but her body shape is not bad, her complexion is pale, and her face is sweet.
"Is there anything abnormal along the way?" Wang Xuan asked after playing with the jade pendant.
"When his post passed through the Chen clan's territory, he specially consulted Liu Liu, and the situation was not optimistic. "Old four.
"Let's talk about it. Wang Xuandao.
"Zhang and Liu Erling are close to the royal capital in the north and Dongshan in the east, and they have no worries, and their military and financial resources are better than Zhang and Liu's second leaders. "Old four.
"In addition to these differences, what is the comparison between the two sides in terms of force?" Wang Xuan asked.
"It's not big, the grenade brought by Commander Liu was not used, and after the two sides tried to fight twice, they didn't fight, so it is not clear which side has an overwhelming advantage in combat power. The fourth replied.
"Then according to your opinion, how long can the confrontation between the two sides last?"
"If it's just a confrontation, it's going to last a year and a half, but if the fighting breaks out frequently, I'm afraid it's hard to survive a month. ”
A month, neither long nor short, but for Jixiang, time is a little tight, and the ideal state is that a big war breaks out in early 56, when Wang Xuan can take time off to carry out his wool harvesting journey.
"Well, your group did a good job this time, go back and get back to your life. Wang Xuandao.
On the 18th, Feng Qiangzhi and his entourage arrived at Jijian Wharf, and Wang Xuan received a handwritten letter from Liu Liu.
The situation analyzed in the letter is roughly the same as what Lao Si said, now that His Royal Highness has passed away, the possibility of a major war breaking out is very small, and the other party should mainly persuade him to surrender. If several persuasions to surrender are fruitless, they will be conquered by means of war.
What Liu Liu was worried about was what was the real purpose of the five hundred engineers sent by Jixiang, whether it was just to defend the Chen city, or to crush the power of His Highness and expand by the way, or to set the stage for future planning?
Wang Xuan originally sent troops to aid the Chen family, but he didn't want the forces of the Second Highness to lose too quickly, so as to buy enough time for Jixiang to lay out, but now it seems that it is much better than expected.
So Wang Xuanxiu wrote a letter to Liu Liu, asking him to try his best to suppress the other party's forces, but the grenade should not be used at will.
On the 19th, Wang Xuan participated in the Jixiang Second Farm Construction Plan Meeting hosted by the Government Council to discuss the construction of the new farm. It is said that it is the construction of a new farm, but in fact, it is also a layout in advance for the construction of a new town.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the battle of Dongshan Pass, after the Lord wiped out the 20,000 army of Chiyan, there have been countless people who have come to me to seek a living. Liu Quan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, made an opening speech.
"Today, there are nearly 10,000 new leaders who have obtained auspicious origins, and the number of foreign leaders who have made a living in auspicious has exceeded the 50,000 mark, and the situation is quite grim. It is obvious that the output of the farms in the south of the city alone cannot meet the needs of the growing population, and the increase in the idle population is not conducive to auspicious long-term peace and stability. ”
It is true that farms do not require very specialized knowledge and skills, and the gender and age restrictions are relatively small, which is much more lenient than in factories. Moreover, there are ready-made examples of new farms, and it is not too difficult to draw a scoop on all sides of the gourd.
"The construction plan of the new farm has been approved by the Lord, led by the Ministry of Agriculture, with the full assistance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Education, and strive to build the new farm by the end of this year, and officially put into operation in March 56. ”
After Liu Quan's concise speech, Zhao Sheng made a supplement.
"The influx of auspicious foreign population will only increase, so public security, health, safety has become the new three major concerns, all departments must earnestly implement the supervision and inspection work, do not engage in face engineering, otherwise a case of punishment will be found, and will not be tolerated. In addition, slaves cannot be stopped, they are the biggest supporters of auspiciousness, and the reason why the settlement policy of foreign freedmen sets such a high threshold is that they hope that they can know how to be grateful after becoming new mascots, instead of becoming ungrateful white-eyed wolves, and no one will cherish what is too easy to get. ”
Zhao Sheng paused several times during his speech, coughing constantly, he was old, his silver hair had gradually thinned, his wrinkles were deep, and his straight back in his memory was also bent under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the years. Wang Xuan exhorted him several times to recuperate for a period of time, but he was politely refused.
"Setting a high threshold for settlement is not the goal, but a means to prevent people like 'white-eyed wolves' from mixing into auspiciousness. We can increase their salary, we can take care of their children and families, we can give them special exemptions based on recent performance, and so on. Take the new farm as an example, if they can settle down and work honestly for two years, then they can apply for auspicious household registration, and if they become a traitor in the future, they can still cancel their auspicious household registration and deport him, which the Ministry of Civil Affairs should fully take into account. ”
Wang Xuan agrees with Zhao Sheng's proposition, which is also the correct attitude of politicians to do things, and it is not a wise man to overturn a boatload of people with a rod.
"The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Agriculture will design the construction drawings at the end of November after the on-site inspection, including the division of town-level boundaries, the construction plan of the town government, the division and construction plan of administrative villages at all levels, the division of farm areas, the construction plan of orchards, and the road construction plan. Liu Quan began to arrange specific affairs.
"The experts of the institute need to analyze and review the drawings, and go to the site to guide the implementation of the construction, some new processes, solutions can be proposed, if the verification is feasible, the government affairs will give gold coin rewards as appropriate. The architectural design of hospitals, schools, academies and other business departments needs to obtain permission from the corresponding ministries, which requires the Ministry of Construction to work closely with the ministries and communicate frequently to design buildings that they are satisfied with. ”
When it comes to the specific implementation, everyone unconsciously becomes serious.
"The Government Council reported to the Lord for approval to set up the Ministry of Communications, Xu Xian served as the first Minister of Communications, and planned the road construction plan of the new town together with the Ministry of Construction. ”
At this time, Xu Xian got up and greeted everyone at the meeting, smiling with a subtle and humble smile.
This candidate was decided by the Government Council, Wang Xuan did not ask, he only looks at the results now, and many things are no longer done by himself.
Wu Zhiyuan of Chengnan Farm has rich experience in farm management, and under his management and leadership, the output of the farm has steadily improved, and the efficiency of the farm has gradually improved. With the approval of the lord, Wu Zhiyuan was appointed as the deputy mayor in charge of the new farm, and he will officially take up his new post on January 1 next year. ”
The new farm is five times the size of the Seongnam farm, and if you don't know how to manage it in the past, it will really be a mess.
Although the new farm bears the title of 'farm', it is actually a town-level unit and is named Laifu. Laifu Town is just across the river from Lotus Town. Jianye Town is the manufacturing center, Lianhua Town is the aquaculture industry center, and Laifu Town is the agricultural production center. The positioning of each town is very clear, even the area where Jixiang City is located is positioned in the center of politics, economy and heavy industry, which is also the original intention of Wang Xuan to divide the town-level administrative area, and each town must have its own unique business card.
Wu Zhiyuan can be regarded as a daughter-in-law for many years, and if she continues to develop according to this trajectory, sooner or later she will enter the Ministry of Agriculture as a mixed minister. Wu Zhiyuan, who is in his thirties, is in his golden years, and the way he greets everyone is relatively sunny, with a natural smile and generous manners.
The new farm, or Laifu Town, is much more complicated.
Chengnan Farm will relocate some of the farmers in the past, and the Government Council will divide the houses and land according to the original promise, and most of the families will become the managers of a small farm and coordinate all aspects of the farm. In other words, these relocated farm veterans will be the backbone of each village, and some will even serve as the head of a village.
The purchased slaves were the main labor force on the farm and a stabilizer for the guarantee of good law and order, and the Government Council planned to buy 10,000 slaves by the end of the year, fill the villages, and grant temporary vassalage status.
The migrants are among the new residents of Laifu Township, and the top performers will receive a two-year loan from the Development Bank for the purchase of commercial housing. The town government will distribute land according to the population for free, of course, the location of these lands is certainly not comparable to that of farms, but it is not bad. As a result of the improved transportation, the range of jobs available to their surplus labourers was much larger, whether they could participate in the public works organized by the government for remuneration, or they could work on the farms or in other towns.
Laifu Town is a good choice for big dog families who are eager to obtain the status of auspicious people, but the premise is that their net worth is as innocent as possible, and at the same time, they must contribute money and efforts to the construction of Laifu Town, such as funding the construction of a third-class road, building a horse-drawn carriage station, building a stone bridge, building a propaganda wall, building a public toilet, etc. These are just entry conditions, after passing this level, you still need to buy a designated area of real estate, if you are a traitor in the middle, then all the early efforts will be burned.
The auspicious leaders can also move to Laifu Town to live according to their own wishes. Trees die, people live, and it is not impossible to become rich and noble after moving to Laifu, and it is not impossible to walk to the peak of life.
It's still the same, the meeting is dismissed here, and the news over there is already flying all over the sky, Wang Xuan has almost seen the grand occasion of the big dogs carrying gold coins to besiege the Ministry of Construction!
