After Zhao Sheng agreed, the last unstable factor in the army was lifted.

In the past few days, it has been a work meeting to prepare for the development plan, and it is also to prepare for military reform, which makes Wang Xuan very tired and has no energy to take care of other things.

Seeing that there were only three days left before leaving for the royal capital, Wang Xuan planned to sort out the work to be done in the near future and explain it.

On the morning of the 28th, Wang Xuan and Zheng San of the Ministry of Construction met and listened to the results of the road condition inspection since the cement road was paved.

The laying of nearly 100 kilometers of cement road, or it is very difficult to avoid problems, the organization and coordination, exchanges and communication of nearly 10,000 people are testing everyone, not to mention, the technical level is uneven, the progress is fast and slow, and it is difficult to coordinate.

In Wang Xuan's view, as long as there is no problem with the normal use of the road, these are not things, just learn and practice slowly!

He was worried that after three or five months, the road would become potholes and cracks everywhere, and the blow would be too great.

What should be taught and what should be demonstrated on the spot have also been demonstrated, and it can only be tested by time, fines are not the goal, but technological progress is the pursuit.

In the room, Zheng San reported the inspection results of the road to Wang Xuan in detail:

"Henan East Avenue started construction on the 4th of this month, and ended on the 14th, because the whole road section was built at the same time, so the road surface was hardened after nearly three days.

After nearly 17 days of observation, no cracking, sanding, collapse and other phenomena were found on the road surface. Everyone was amazed at this, especially the foreign merchants, who often pretended to take a walk on the road and kept observing. ”

Wang Xuan listened quietly, analyzing the information in the words.

"Hedong Avenue was started on the 11th, completed on the 16th, and opened to traffic on the 20th, and no abnormalities were found.

At present, the cement road of Hedong Mosquito Street has also been paved, and it is planned to open to traffic on the 28th, that is, today.

The reason why it has been delayed for so long is that the old man is worried about the load-bearing problem of the road, and the quarry relies on this road for the transportation of stones, so he wants to let the road surface solidify for a few more days, and now he still waters the road surface on time every day. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xuan nodded in understanding.

Although the cement standard is not high, the current horse-drawn truck weight is also limited, so the two can completely offset each other.

"What about Hexi Avenue and Nongxing Avenue?" Wang Xuan then asked.

"Hexi Avenue and Nongxing Avenue both started on the 6th of this month, and the Hexi Avenue contracted by the Ministry of Construction has been put into use and is in good condition; Nongxing Avenue was built more slowly, just completed, and has not yet been opened to traffic. ”

Wang Xuan understands the reason for the slow construction of Nongxing Avenue, after all, it is a group of people who are building, and the technical level cannot be compared with the Ministry of Construction.

"The technicians of the construction department followed up the whole process, and since you think there is no problem, it is really no problem. ”

Leaning slightly, Wang Xuan continued: "The laying of the cement road seems to be successful, but in fact, you yourself are very clear that there are many deficiencies, you can't be blinded by the gorgeous appearance, you must summarize the gains and losses, form a system, for later use!"

Wang Xuan was worried that the Ministry of Construction would be complacent, so he had to click on Zheng San.

"Yes, we are already sorting out the road construction manual, and the bridge construction manual is also being sorted out. ”

This is good news for Wang Xuan, so he did not hesitate to say anything and praised the Ministry of Construction.

In addition, the cement plant has been testing the 10-meter-long bridge for a period of time, and all parameters meet the design indicators. Therefore, your Ministry of Construction should also design the construction of the cross-river bridge, and strive to come up with a plan in January, start construction in February, and complete it in March, and start building two at the same time. ”

Zheng San sighed that this is another landmark project. Because it is not only the harsh environment of land reclamation that restricts the development of auspiciousness, but also the traffic factor, and the auspicious with a developed water system, the demand for bridges is no less than that of roads.

Lunch was eaten in the canteen of the Government Affairs Yuan, and it was still three dishes and one soup, and the appearance was much more exquisite than before.

At the dinner table, Wang Xuan arranged for Zhou Bin to share the table with him, and asked about the recent situation of the first batch of returnees by the way.

Zhou Bin is also a bamboo in his chest, talking eloquently, without the slightest restraint when others see Wang Xuan.

"Most of the first people to return to their hometowns have already returned, and they have brought back many villagers who have come to inquire about the news. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Bin couldn't help laughing, this is auspicious, but "scorpion - only (poisonous)!"

"In order to let them know our auspiciousness in detail and see what they want to see, the Ministry of Civil Affairs specially arranged a guide to take everyone on a three-day auspicious tour:

On the first day, we visited various factories and had lunch in the factory canteen, so that everyone could experience the daily eating life of auspicious workers and visit the school construction along the way;

On the second day, we visited the mosquito coil factory and grain and oil factory in Jianye Town, Hedong, and went deep into the fourth, fifth and sixth groups of a village to truly feel our auspicious policy to the new people;

On the third day, visit Jixiang New Town and Xincheng Sand Table in the morning, and visit Chengnan Farm in the afternoon to experience the 'auspicious mode' ......"

Zhou Bin knew very well that Jixiang would not be more likely to accept a large number of free people immigrants, and the people of Jixiang were not happy with such a situation.

People are selfish, they didn't want to come in a hard time, but now that the conditions are good, they have begun to drill here, and it is difficult to accept emotionally, this is the auspicious collar of the mascot, not a public toilet!

"Most of them have witnessed the on-site paving of the cement road, and we have specially arranged for them to experience it on Hunan East Road, both on foot and by car. You didn't see their jaw-dropping expressions, and you were amused by the guides......"

Wang Xuan also smiled, the people can now be proud of the mascot, which is the greatest affirmation of themselves.

"Judging from the effect of the visit in the past few days, they are very satisfied with the auspiciousness, and now some of the villagers who have inquired about the news have returned, according to statistical estimates, if the free immigration is released next year, it may exceed 10,000 people!"

The number is very scary, but it is impossible to let go, and the original territory will not let its own people flow freely into other territories, so Jixiang still has to pay, but the people who move in are relatively rich and free.

After the meal, Wang Xuan came to the kitchen and specially asked about the use of the briquette stove, and most of the reactions were very positive, but the shortcomings were also obvious: he could only make small pot rice, not large pot rice.

Wang Xuan couldn't refute that the original design was also for small families. Of course, it is also simple to make a big pot of rice, change the design, change the hearth to the form of a three-petal flower, increase the height, and increase the capacity of the briquettes.

There is no technical difficulty in this, and it would be nice to explain that it can be customized when promoting.

Since the briquette stove was mentioned, well-informed people around also offered their "information" that they knew.

According to "people familiar with the matter", briquette stoves are the most popular among logistics personnel on the construction site, which can not only reduce manpower, but also replenish hot water at any time, and it is very convenient to pick up and go.

According to "people familiar with the matter", briquette stoves are also very popular among small traders, and it is very fast to stir-fry vegetables, cook porridge, and boil water.

It seems that the production of briquettes is going to be accelerated, otherwise the shortage of supply will affect the sales of stoves, Wang Xuan never planned to make money by selling stoves, and it is briquettes that really make money......

In the afternoon, Wang Xuan sat down with the Big Five to discuss the trip to the royal capital two days later.

"Lord, who do you need to arrange for this trip?" Zhao Sheng was very concerned about Wang Xuan's safety.

"Li Ming from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sun Xing from the Ministry of Commerce, Lu Fang from the Military Department, plus four more guards. ”

Wang Xuan is not worried about his own safety, in the eyes of the eldest prince and others, he is estimated to be a clown role, a supporting role of a supporting role, and the kind of film festival nominations "do not have this item".

Besides, if someone really wants to be unfavorable to him, it makes no sense to bring more or fewer people, and he also believes that the second prince has no reason to frame him.

"Is the number of guards a little less, or is it safer to increase it to twenty, at least the emergency measures are also implemented. ”

Liu Quan also expressed his opinion, believing that the number of guards should be increased.

"It's okay, this trip should be safe, I will set off with the second group of returnees, just cover up a little. In addition, I will arrange for the security department to respond to the bases along the way, probe the situation everywhere, and give early warning of danger. The Guo family's boats are also ready, and one is waiting by the lake at any time. ”

Wang Xuan seemed to be light-hearted, and did not take the trip to the royal capital as pressure at all.

"The construction of the four new factories must keep up, the personnel must pay close attention to training, if time permits, you can first send Yongsheng to work for a month, I am afraid that Li Yugang will jump his feet, haha......"

After speaking, Wang Xuan himself laughed, and now Yongsheng has become a base for training employees in the new factory.

Newcomers have poor skills, slow responses, and keep doing things, and no one expects them to bring much benefit.

For Yongsheng, if you don't lose money, you make money, every time Li Yugang sees Wang Xuan, she looks like she wants to talk and stops, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Wang Xuan comforted him, he must be able to swallow the bitter water, drink the grievances, withstand the grievances, and withstand the temptation!

The five Home Secretaries have also heard about this, and they can't help but wonder!

After laughing, Wang Xuan mentioned Feng Qiangzhi's trip to Hu Yue and the mining of tin and marble mines.

Zhao Sheng kept a close eye on these two things, almost no matter how big or small, he cared about everything, and asked about everything, so everyone was waiting for him to answer.

Feng Qiangzhi repaired for five days, and then set off with two staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a guard team from the Ministry of War. This time, they brought 10,000 gold coins, and tried to lease the baking soda production land in the form of leasing mining rights, as for how much can be mined and shipped back, it is up to us. ”

"How sure are you that we can rent it at an annual rent of 10,000 gold coins, and what level will we be able to penetrate?

Wang Xuan raised questions about the key issues, which are related to the progress and success of the negotiations, and the more carefully considered and prepared the more thoughtful, the better the results will be.

Zhao Sheng relayed according to Feng Qiangzhi's report:

"It was a tribe close to the border between the two countries, with about 20,000 people, and the highest level that Feng Qiangzhi came into contact with was the eldest daughter of the tribal leader. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Sheng was also a little embarrassed, when it came to men and women, everyone would always think more involuntarily.

"The production area of baking soda is nearly 100 miles deep into the border, and if you need to transport it for a long time and in large quantities, you need to build a special transportation road to the Xingyao River and use water transportation to transport it back. This negotiation involves all aspects, and 10,000 gold coins is just a deposit!"

This is really not small, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame Wang Xuan for saying that he would take it as soon as possible "at any cost".

"The most important thing we lack is time, and if we can reach an agreement as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if we spend a little more. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xuan's words changed, "Where is the progress of the tin mine?"

"It is currently being carried out in three parts, the road is being leveled, and it is planned to build it from the Xingyao River to the mine and transport it to the smelter by water;

The mining site is also leveling, and an order for a simple board house has been placed with the plate factory, which is expected to be delivered in February;

The recruitment of miners is a bit complicated, and we plan to seconded a few technical backbones from the coal mine, which is beneficial to the training of workers and the progress of mining, which is conducive to opening up the situation as soon as possible. ”

"The idea is right, Zhu Dali didn't have any opinions, right?"

"It's not a trouble, it's just that he took the opportunity to ask for a lot of benefits, and now the money earned by briquettes is still in his hands!" Zhang Yun also pretended to be casual and teased Zhu Dali.

Wang Xuan also twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, and then slowed down and said: "Then give it to him, after all, he is in charge of the workers' eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the kitchenware factory has not opened for a day, and all the money earned by briquettes will be given to them in the coal mine!"

Wang Xuan's words are final, saving Zhao Sheng a lot of tongue, after all, this kitchenware factory is the eldest lady's, you Zhu Dali have to borrow the mouth of the Government Council to say it, it is not benevolent!

Before leaving, Wang Xuan suddenly found that there were still a lot of things to arrange, all the things that should come and those who shouldn't have come came, and he could only pick some important ones to explain to the Government Council.

"Inland shipping is very important, we can build a small shipyard and try to build some small wooden boats for passenger transport, and practice our skills along the way. Let the Propaganda Department spread the news that with the development of auspiciousness, the demand for small inland river boats has surged, and the government intends to support the construction of private shipyards and provide financial support, which is the responsibility of Committee member Zhang. ”

Zhang Yun replied "yes".

"In order to support the development of private business, I have mentioned the plan of CCB before, first, to provide private loans, and secondly, to control prices and maintain financial stability. The prime minister checked this piece and drew up a plan to start construction in three months. ”

Zhao Sheng also readily agreed, the auspicious pace is getting faster and faster, in the first half of the year, everyone can still drink tea and chat from time to time, and now they feel that time is pressing, but it is very fulfilling and more down-to-earth.
