The auspicious direction of development has always troubled Wang Xuan, who has always oscillated between the two paths of agriculture and industry, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The results of this census provide a strong basis for the formulation of auspicious development plans, and being able to adapt measures to local conditions and have a specific purpose is what Wang Xuan values most.

After pondering for several days, Wang Xuan finally made up his mind that he would convene the first political meeting since his succession to the throne to discuss the auspicious development plan.

November 11, fine.

After breakfast, Wang Xuan came to the Government Affairs Yuan.

Wang Xuan gestured to everyone and sat down on the main seat, and when a scaled map was hung on the wall, the meeting officially began.

First of all, the two supervisors in charge of the survey, You Lixing and Lu Fang, introduced the process and results of the survey. It was nearly ten o'clock after the report, and Wang Xuan had to announce an adjournment for a quarter of an hour, so that everyone could absorb the information, relax their spirits, and solve physiological problems by the way.

Next, the meeting proceeded to the second stage, which was Wang Xuan's "development outline".

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have a general understanding of the auspicious situation, as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, now we have mountains and water, why are we still living so bitterly?"

This question is what everyone is most concerned about, so everyone unconsciously followed Wang Xuandi's words and thought about it.

"The officials of our territory are not corrupt, derelict in their duties, or tyrannical, and the people are industrious, brave, and not afraid of hardships, what is the crux of the present situation? Have you reflected on what you should do in order to change the current state of affairs?"

Wang Xuan is a little aggressive, the old thinking patterns and confinement must be broken, and serious illnesses must be treated with fierce medicine.

"The humiliation of the red flame is still yesterday, and every time I think about it, it hurts my heart like ten thousand arrows piercing my heart. The census is very costly, they have exchanged their lives for auspiciousness for the basis of development, so that we can avoid detours, and we must be worthy of our conscience and their trust. Let's follow this map to illustrate my thoughts. ”

At this time, Wang Xuan had already gotten up and came to the map and began his speech.

"Xingyao River divides auspiciousness into almost equal east and west parts, let's look at the west part of the river first. From the topography point of view, the terrain of Hexi is gentle, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, except for the southernmost primeval forest, the rest of the trees are sparse, suitable for large-scale cultivation and planting.

There are a large number of high-quality timber and bamboo resources in the south, which are more suitable for the development of bamboo and wood processing industries, such as logging yards, furniture factories, handicraft factories, etc., and because of the proximity to the sea, the shipbuilding industry can also be developed. ”

"The estuary of the Xingyao River is a natural harbor, and the census officers have measured that its water depth has exceeded eight meters, and the land on both sides stretches like arms, almost isolating the estuary into an inland lake, as long as it is properly widened, it is enough for several large ships to enter and exit in parallel. ”

After a moment's pause, Wang Xuan continued, "Speaking of Hedong, the nearly 200 square kilometers of land near Xingyao Lake is uneven and the river is not abundant, so it is not suitable for intensive cultivation. There is only one stagger river in the area, which is about 10 meters wide and about 5 kilometers long, and there are many small streams, so I tend to make this area a manufacturing base with a focus on light industry. ”

Everyone doesn't know what light industry is and what is a manufacturing base, but based on Hexi's introduction, they think that what Wang Xuan said has his own reasoning, and he will not be untargeted.

"Without agriculture, there is no stability, there is no business, business is buying and selling, and the object is commodity. The commodities we commonly use are salt, cloth, needlework, grain, etc., and the manufacturing base to be built is to build a factory similar to a porcelain factory, but the production is no longer porcelain, it can be daily groceries, it can also be food. ”

Everyone understands the importance of the porcelain factory, but when it comes to a second or third similar factory, everyone is skeptical.

"Further south, the terrain is gradually gentle, there are many small rivers here, there is a well-developed water network, and there is a river of small streams that converge from north to south, and finally joins the Xingyao River, what if this river communicates with the backwater river in the north?"

The reason why Jixiang City was built in the west of the river is because it is full of living water, and once the dead river in the east of the river becomes a living river, the pace of development will be much faster.

"There are lakes here, the water is abundant, the grass is beautiful, and the area is quite extensive, which is very suitable for aquaculture. ”

Everyone kept staring at the map, their eyes shifting as the direction of the introduction shifted.

"Further south is the primeval forest area, which is connected to the west of the river. According to the survey, this forest area of about 400 square kilometers is high in the east and low in the west, and is rich in bamboo forests, timber, medicinal materials, and animal resources. Therefore, it is also possible to establish a wood and bamboo products processing factory, focusing on handicrafts, although similar to Hexi, but with its own focus, and also a medicinal herb processing factory. ”

Wang Xuan observed everyone's reactions from time to time, and adjusted his speed and tone at any time, he hoped that everyone could listen carefully to him and keep up with the logic, which was the first step to break the shackles and develop new thinking, brainwashing.

"To the east of Dongxing Yaoshan is a relatively flat area connecting the beach and the sea, which is suitable for marine aquaculture, salt production, shipbuilding and seafood processing......"

This is the biggest result of this census, a map will determine the auspicious direction of development, that is, industry-based, agriculture as a supplement, on the basis of the development of the tertiary industry.

The lunch meal is good, there are pheasants and eggs to eat, it is better than pure natural pollution-free, Wang Xuan also eats fragrant lips and teeth.

After lunch, Wang Xuan looked at this temporary office space with great interest, although it was crowded, the environment was not bad, the ground was clean, the desktop was tidy, and the layout was reasonable.

In the afternoon, the meeting moved on to the third stage: the demonstration of the plan. Half an hour later, under the integration of Zhao Sheng, everyone's questions were summarized.

Wang Xuan read it carefully, mainly three questions, and the rest were scattered by these three questions.

The first is the question about the manufacturing base, everyone wants to know what factory to build, how much it costs, whether the technical difficulty is great, and whether there is a market for the product.

The second is that collective farms need to be cleared, but the conditions are harsh and the safety of the people cannot be guaranteed.

The third is the financial problem, due to the scarcity of farm tools, can only buy the farm tools trafficked by merchants from Daxia at a high price, the quality is uneven, to make up for the shortfall, the financial pressure is too great.

Wang Xuan walked to the map, picked up the broom and pointed to the map: "I have my own plan for the factory plan, we don't need to worry about this, building the factory together is conducive to saving money, easy to manage, and conducive to the integration of the industrial chain." For the reclamation, my plan is to first recover the large area of land that has been cleared in Hexi, and the people who have recovered the land will be compensated accordingly. ”

Wang Xuan took a sip of water and continued: "Jixiang has not found iron ore, but we can continue to search for it while buying it from Chiyan, with iron ore we can smelt iron and steel, and we can build much-needed agricultural tools and tools." The porcelain factory has already tried to produce seven or eight times, and the product is becoming less and less defective, and it is expected to be ready for mass production around the end of the year, and then we have the start-up capital. ”

Everyone listened carefully, and Wang Xuan spoke in more and more detail.

"Pioneering is not an overnight thing, 12 years of hard work is also such a situation, human life is a matter of heaven, I will not take everyone's life as a child's play. I plan to buy slaves from Great Xia, and bring in physicians to buy medicinal herbs, so as to avoid unnecessary attrition as much as possible. ”

Speaking of which, there were loud sounds of surprise in the house, slavery had been abolished when he first stepped into Jixiang, and Jixiang had not carried out human trafficking so far, young master, this is going back?

The reaction of the crowd was seen by Wang Xuan, and then explained: "The so-called slave purchase is not to restore the slavery system, but to simply import labor, and give them the status of temporary subjects, as long as they do not violate the law and work diligently within two years, they will become official subjects after two years." Freedom is what they desire most, and if we give it back to them, what will they give in return?"

If this is the case, it can be regarded as a benevolent government! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sighed at Wang Xuan's whimsy, Great Xia had no reason to prevent Jixiang from buying slaves, which was a legitimate right enjoyed by every territory.

"The auspicious style of writing is not flourishing, and the talents are withering, which is not conducive to future development. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, we have to look at the long-term, talent training is not an overnight effort, this is a high investment, long cycle, late return on the cause, today in the talent training of the higher the investment, tomorrow's auspicious development will be better. ”

In the end, Wang Xuan added: "I have described to you what the future life will be like, and now what we have to do is to do everything we can to overcome all difficulties and move firmly towards the goal." The start-up capital for the construction is coming soon, and the corresponding planning will be launched one after another, at this time it is the time for us to work together and work together, no one can drop the chain, and I will work with you to build the dream place in our hearts. ”

After Wang Xuan went home, he couldn't bear his sister's entanglement, so he went to the eldest sister's place to eat again, and the eldest sister wanted to talk several times during the banquet, but Wang Xuan didn't take the initiative to ask, so he would naturally come.
