Chapter 188: Changes in the Town (3)
The most lively place in the town now is not those shops lined up, nor those large-scale real estate projects that have just been industrialized, nor those military projects that do not make people worry, but the city wall that Xiajia Town is building with all its strength to protect the town.
Now the total number of people and monsters who are dedicated to building the city wall exceeds 120,000 workers, looking at the city wall full of various modern machinery and magical styles, Wang Meng also sighed, it is really magnificent, although the overall height and width of the city wall is not as good as the capital of Wei, but the gap is not big, there is a city wall more than 30 meters high, which can make almost all the people from the earth sigh.
Even those townspeople who were originally farmers admired such a magnificent city wall, worshiping that after all, too many of them had never left their villages in their lives, where could they have seen such magnificent buildings.
Looking at the dense ant-like construction workers in the distance, Wang Meng asked, "Minmin, who is in charge of the construction of the city wall now?"
"Now I'm in charge, Führer, what do you want to know?"
Of course, Wang Meng thought of a lot of questions when he saw the city wall, but after all, he could only be regarded as a layman in architecture, so he didn't know where to start.
To say that this leader is not very good, this speech is also an art, Wang Meng found that his current level is too poor, and he should make up for the class in the future, "Well, how is the current progress, when will it be completed?"
Xia Minmin hurriedly took out a small notebook, looked at a few pages and said, "Now the construction speed is very fast, if we plan to complete it in the spring of next year according to the construction period, but recently we have recruited a lot of demon beasts, so the construction period can be greatly shortened, and it should be completed as a whole by the end of this year." ”
When Wang Meng heard this, he felt that it was really wise for him to reach a peace agreement with the demon beast at the beginning, and with his own wisdom and martial arts, he could think of such a great thing as using the demon beast to work for himself, "That's quite fast, how big will it be when the construction is completed, how long will it be enough for us to develop?"
"According to your instructions to develop ahead of time, so we expanded the area very large this time, and there were many difficulties in the first stage, but while the construction was honing and recruiting people, now the construction speed has come up, and a lot of construction skilled workers have been trained, and I believe that it can be used when the third phase of the real estate plan of the head of state begins. Moreover, this time our overall city wall has a large construction area, according to Yang Song, it can be nearly 70 kilometers long from east to west and about 65 kilometers wide from north to south, which is enough for us to develop more than one million people in the future. ”
Hearing this, Wang Meng also felt very surprised, I didn't expect the scope of this construction to be so large, the overall city wall is almost the size of the city area of Qianshan City now, if you build some civilian high-rise buildings, then not only live a million people, but can live more than 2 million people.
After thinking about it, the economic sanctions against Split Cloud County have passed in the Xiuzhen Realm for 10 days, and the effect of the overall sanctions should also be reflected, right? But it is difficult to say what kind of sanctions effect can be achieved, and I will really go back and ask where the current situation is, if it is revealed, with the current Xiajia Town, it is really not too strong to absorb too many people.
Don't forget that the total permanent population of Xiajia Town has just broken through the 100,000 mark, and Liyun County is still a behemoth to itself, with more than 2.7 million people living in the county alone. If half, no, not half, even a third rushes into Xiajia Town, then the entire town will be crowded. Thinking of this, Wang Meng also blamed himself for not thinking about it at the beginning, why didn't he take into account the problem of immigration waves.
But it's not too late to make amends, Wang Meng looked behind him and shouted, "Yang Song, where are you here?" ”
Just after calling Yang Song, Wang Meng felt that he was still not safe, and said to Xia Minmin, "Recently, you have organized some manpower, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, remember to give them enough wages, let them build a temporary residence outside the city first, this residence? There are no special requirements for the house, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, if my expectations are right, our Xiajia Town will be able to catch up with a large-scale immigration wave after a while." ”
Xia Minmin was stunned at this time, what is the immigration tide, this guy has no concept at all, so he asked, "The immigration tide, do you mean that there will be a large number of immigrants coming to our town?" Seeing Wang Meng nodded, Xia Minmin said again, "How many immigrants will there be?" We have not yet sold the second phase of the property, and there is enough place for 20,000 people to live, if it is not enough, wait, the third phase of our real estate will be completed in a few months, and if you plan it, it can at least meet the needs of more than 100,000 people. ”
Wang Meng shook his head and said, "Minmin, you are too petty, the immigration wave I am talking about will not be tens of thousands of people, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions of collective immigrants, if we are not prepared to meet a large number of immigrants, it will cause great damage to the reputation of our Xiajia Town." ”
"Hundreds of thousands, millions?" Xia Minmin was stunned, he never thought that what kind of thing could happen to Xiajia Town would have so many people, and he came to immigrate at one time, although the head of state does not seem to be a reliable person, and it is not according to common sense to do some things, but he has never fooled himself, then these may be true, if it is true, it will be troublesome.
"Führer, if what you say is true, then it is troublesome, our grain reserves are sufficient, but there is still a large shortage of other means of production and subsistence, especially daily necessities, and now many varieties are out of stock. It is that we still lack a large number of laborers, but we really can't absorb so many people at one time, so how can we solve their work problems? If we can't solve the work problems, then we can't rely on our town's subsidies in life, right? Moreover, so many people come at one time, public security is also a big problem, and now the town court has been formed, and there are police, but in the face of such a huge population, they don't understand the rules of the town, and we don't have enough police to maintain law and order. ”
After two years of training, Xia Minmin now has more and more understanding of these earthlings, and gradually began to agree with their method of ruling the country by law, especially when those policemen began to cultivate people's legal awareness from door to door with loudspeakers, Xia Minmin expressed a deep sense of identification with the current practice in the town. Not only Xia Minmin, but also all the townspeople of Xiajia Town have expressed the same sense of identity with the laws of the town, they now feel safer when they go to the streets, they do things more orderly, and the town environment is cleaner, and finally all the townspeople gradually understand what true democracy, freedom, and pride are.
Now almost all the townspeople in Xiajia Town have understood what is called the sanctity of personal property, what is called the violation of the law must bear the corresponding responsibility, what is called the glory of labor, and the concept of equality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
So Xia Minmin is very afraid, once so many outsiders come, it will disrupt all the original plans of the town at once, and it will also add too much uncertainty to the town, at this time, he doesn't want to see it, now the people in Xiajia Town feel that they are higher than all the people in other towns, so now, including Xia Minmin, they despise those outsiders, which is very understandable why Minmin shows resistance in the face of so many outsiders at once.
In fact, Wang Meng can understand his thoughts very well, the current Xiajia Town, just like the United States on the earth, how many people want to dig doors and steal holes to get in, but the amount of immigrants every year is so much, and their own people are very superior, and they are more xenophobic. Why didn't Wang Meng understand the thoughts of these vested interests? But understanding is understanding, and Xiajia Town also needs to speed up its development, so it must have a large population. So in the face of temporary chaos and difficulties, he is completely acceptable.
"Haha, Min Min thinks too much, in fact, work is not a problem at all, they come to our town not because I dislike them too much, but because they dislike them too little, the next batch of living materials will arrive in a few days, rest assured Minmin, there can be a lot of them this time, enough for us millions of people to squander for a while." If you want to talk about the labor aspect? It's easy to solve, isn't there a shortage of people in the agricultural sector right now? You can tell them and let them recruit workers. Now the troops still need a large number of people, and they also need a part. ”
Wang Meng thought about it, in fact, there is a shortage of people in that department, but the degree of lack is different, and the most lacking people now are actually the manpower in the mining sector, and he is now anxious to need a lot of manpower to develop all the minerals in his territory.
"In this way, the mining department now needs a large number of manpower, and you can recruit a large number of miners, because the danger of miners and the requirements for physical strength and other aspects are relatively high, so we want to give these miners the best welfare and the highest priority to join Xiajia Town. ”
Seeing that Xia Minmin had been writing and drawing in a small book with a pen, Wang Meng knew that this guy would do it according to his own consciousness, so he had nothing to worry about, showing his own signboard-like smile, walking towards the hot construction site in the distance, and shaking hands with some migrant workers around him from time to time to show his image of being close to the people.
And where have these turtles in Xiajia Town seen this, the number one in the town came to see him, smiled with himself, and occasionally shook hands with the workers who worked together around him, and they were moved one by one, and even many migrant workers and demon beasts simply knelt down, kowtowing and crying bitterly. But Wang Meng felt very enjoyable, this official is so awesome, otherwise what kind of official would he be.
This sense of accomplishment is simply bursting, and some earthlings behind Wang Meng are disdainful, this thing can be seen on TV on the earth every day, it is all deceitful, what is close to the people, shaking hands with you is close to the people? That's ridiculous, this is acting, okay, it's just a means to deceive you turtles.
