"Brother Jiandou, didn't you say you wanted to treat me to a delicious meal? This delicious is this tortilla with sauerkraut? ”

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were full of food and drink and helped the old man tidy up the granary, and then left, on the way Sun Chuanting asked Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this: "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Sun Chuanting stopped talking, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "Although this country thing is vulgar, it is the most delicious thing Lu has ever eaten, much more delicious than any mountain and sea delicacies he has eaten back then, and it is much more delicious, what does Brother Boya think?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded when he heard this: "What you said is right, but it is much more delicious than those seemingly gorgeous foods, this time you didn't lie to me." ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Hahaha, I haven't lied to you before, what do you think when you see this Lantian countryside this time?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, Li Chaosheng has made great contributions, and Li Chaosheng is worthy of being a talent for governing the country." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "If you can get a compliment from Brother Boya, he Li Chaosheng can also be proud." ”

Sun Chuanting looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Where to go next?" ”

"Go to the city, Shinong Industry and Commerce, I will take you to get to know this Lantian today, and see if this Lantian is worth your Sun Boya's life."

Lu Xiangsheng said, directly took Sun Chuanting to Lantian Pedestrian Street, and took Sun Chuanting to appreciate the prosperity of Lantian, coming out of the pedestrian street, Sun Chuanting's expression was slightly moved, Lantian has become so rich?

Sun Chuanting said and took out a banknote from his hand, with the words "One Hundred Wen" printed on it, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lantian can actually trade with this banknote?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "That's right, since ancient times, you can use paper to be a coin trader, and they are all peaceful and prosperous, economically prosperous dynasties, such as the Song Dynasty, and Lantian banknotes seem to have a deep meaning, but Lu is not good at economic methods, and there are some joints that I don't know much." ”

Sun Chuanting also nodded and said: "The old man can understand one or two, the cost of this banknote is small, Lantian can use the banknote as silver, that is to say, Li Chaosheng has the right to issue and print the entire Lantian currency, so that the money of the entire Lantian has to serve him Li Chaosheng, when Taizu wanted to use the Daming treasure banknote instead of silver money, but it failed, I didn't expect that one day Lantian would be able to do what Taizu did not finish, I can only describe Li Chaosheng with an impressive look now." ”

"He has completed the unfinished feat of his predecessors, if he is a minister, he will be the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Wenzhong, who changed the law, is not as good as him."

This sentence can be said to be very high, Zhang Wenzhong is Zhang Juzheng, and he was called Wenzhong after his death, and Zhang Juzheng was in the eyes of Wenchen in the Ming Dynasty, which is quite powerful, especially the ability to govern internal affairs, almost no one is outstanding, but Sun Chuanting said that Li Chaosheng is more powerful than Zhang Juzheng, and it can be seen that Sun Chuanting was impressed by Li Chaosheng's methods.

But this is not enough to make Sun Chuanting willing to survive in this wonderful new world.

Lu Xiangsheng saw Sun Chuanting's thoughts and said: "Let's go, the farmers and businessmen have seen it, let me take you to see the terrible industrial system of Lantian again." ”

"Industrial?"

Sun Chuanting was still very unfamiliar with the word industry, so he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Industry, this is a new word in the name of Li Dynasty's life, which generally refers to the exploitation of natural resources and the profit from processing is called industry, and now the so-called industry in Lantian generally refers to heavy industry, that is, steel. ”

"Steel?"

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The county often says that the beginning of industry lies in steel, let's go, I have to say that Lao Sun, you have a big face, otherwise this Lantian Iron and Steel Plant will never allow others to visit, but you, the county has specially approved." ”

Saying that, Lu Xiangsheng took Sun Chuanting out of the county and went to the industrial zone in the south of the city.

The industrial zone is a specially divided area, the whole area is very large, there are hundreds of large and small factories, and it is also the main part of the blood transfusion of this major artery in Lantian.

Lu Xiangsheng took Sun Chuanting to the door of Lantian No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant, which was the first large-scale steel plant established in Lantian.

If this scene is placed in the 21st century, it is definitely a heavily polluted area, and it is definitely a model of non-standard pollution control, but in Lantian in the 17th century, this is synonymous with progress, and this billowing black smoke is synonymous with Lantian strength.

Pollution first and then treatment, this is the policy formulated by Li Chaosheng, if the development has not developed, you will control pollution and discharge, then the calf, then the development is not developed, development will definitely bring pollution, this is inevitable, but to a certain extent, as long as the treatment is no problem.

It is a correct idea to develop first and then to deal with it, so this industrial zone, which is about 80 miles away from Lantian County, is the largest polluted area in the entire Lantian County, and of course it is also the most advanced representative of Lantian.

Lu Xiangsheng came here with Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting looked at the twenty-meter-high chimney in front of him, and his eyes couldn't leave, and then Lu Xiangsheng took Sun Chuanting to the doorman.

"Stop!"

The two were directly stopped by the guards, Sun Chuanting only found out at this time that these guards were holding the most advanced flintlock pistols in Lantian, and looking at the march of these guards, the traces of the regular army in Lantian could be clearly seen, Sun Chuanting looked at Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "The guards here are all drawn from the first army of Lantian, and every month a company of soldiers comes over as guards." ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting's expression also became serious, he had seen Li Chaolong's first army, and its combat effectiveness was quite strong, so that Li Chaolong's first army could stand guard, and he could see the status of this steel plant in Lantian.

"It was the county that asked me to take him to visit the steel mill."

Lu Xiangsheng explained to the guard, and after hearing this, the guard stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, please show the pass." ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Sun Chuanting, then at the guard: "You don't know me?" ”

The guard said, "Yes, Justice Lantian." ”

"I'm on the same level as your commander, you dare to stop me?"

Lu Xiangsheng deliberately showed it to Sun Chuanting, and the guards didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng meant, and said with a dark face: "I'm sorry, if you don't have a pass issued by the county honor, anyone who has nothing to do with the factory is not allowed to enter, and our military commander is the same." ”

Lu Xiangsheng pretended to be angry when he heard this: "You are so bold, do you know what will happen if you don't give me face, I am in charge of the law of Lantian, believe it or not, I will arrest you and put you in prison now!" ”

When the guard heard this, he said: "Don't be afraid, although you are a justice, but Lantian is a place where the law is spoken, even if you are a justice, I have not committed adultery, second, I have not been corrupt or bribery, third, I have not violated the rules and regulations, you can't arrest me, and if you abuse the law and be known by the county, you will also be punished by the law, please show your pass, if not, please go back!" ”

After the guard finished speaking, he made a gesture of please, Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he saw this, gave the guard a look that you are very good, and then took out the pass, which also had the county seal on it.

The guard inspected it, followed by a salute, "Please!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng walked into the factory with Sun Chuanting, and at this time Sun Chuanting came over and said, "Did you deliberately show me the performance just now?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "See it?" ”

"If you act more fakely, I won't be able to see it."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this: "That's too fake, but you can see it, everyone in Lantian must abide by the established rules and regulations, and no one can be an exception, even if I, the secretary of the Lantian Criminal Department, the chief justice, will still be pouted back." ”

"You're still happy?"

Sun Chuanting looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Of course, I am very happy, because this is what I pursue, the concept of law should be integrated into everyone's mind, and let them know that as long as they do not violate the law, then no one can do anything to them, otherwise it is a challenge to the law, so Lantian, it is a common thing for officials to be reprimanded, and you must get used to it in the future, don't think that you are a former second-class master, you can shout five and drink six, and it is not good to do it in Lantian." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "You seem to be sure that I will join Lantian." ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "I was tougher than you back then." ”

The two said that at this time, someone had already gone to inform the factory director, and the county magistrate came, who of them could not give some face, except for the janitor.

Soon the factory director came, and the level of the factory director was not low, equivalent to the head of Lantian Zhongli, that is, the level of the prefect of a county, but it was still worse than Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng was at the level of the minister of Lantian, and there were several levels in between.

And the director of the factory is also in the sequence of civil officials, and if he does a good job in the future, he may be transferred to that state capital as a mid-term governor, and then he will be manipulated by Lu Xiangsheng?

And even if he is now the director of the factory, he is also under the supervision of Lu Xiangsheng, at this time Lu Xiangsheng brought people to visit, and he did not accompany him personally, is it a bit ignorant of the rules?

Although the factory director also knows that it is useless to befriend Lu Xiangsheng, the important thing is not to violate the law of Lantian, but he has been an official for many years, he still knows a truth, he can not befriend the leader, but try not to offend the leader.

"Mr. Lu."

The factory director greeted him with a smile, although Lu Xiangsheng is not very interested in the officialdom, but he is not an old stubborn who is not impersonal, knowing that as long as everyone is still within the scope of the law, then some small things do not need to be investigated, as if this is ushered in, if this is not allowed, then there is no human touch at all?

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Director Wang, I am ordered by the county to take this old friend to visit our steel factory, you are more familiar with the situation here than me, so take us to visit." ”

"Okay, okay, Xiao Liu, open the way in front of the head and take us to the factory for a visit."

"Yes, leader."

Xiao Liu walked to the factory with a few people, and introduced as he walked: "Leaders, this is our No. 1 steelmaking furnace, which can refine about 100,000 tons of steel every year. ”

"Tons?"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and then Xiao Liu on the side smiled and said: "Oh, according to our Lantian conversion standard, two thousand catties are equal to one ton." ”

"Two thousand catties, 100,000 tons is equal to 20,000 catties!"

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened and he was shocked by this terrifying data, a blast furnace, 20,000 catties of steel a year, which is almost half of the steel output value of Daming in a year.

"How many of these blast furnaces do you have?"

Hearing this, Xiao Liu smiled and said: "Back to the leader, there are not many, our factory has five such first-class furnaces." ”

Five!

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened, five is 100,000 catties, which is more than double the steel output of Daming in a year, just such a factory, just the top two Daming steel output, this is too terrifying!

Sun Chuanting was shocked speechless, in fact, such a large factory, can only produce 500,000 tons of steel a year, is already very poor, you must know that in the 21st century, the standard of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry is that the annual output of less than 1 million tons of steel is a small steel plant, and if you want to become a large steel plant, the annual output can not be less than 5 million tons, and special steel must be greater than 3 million tons to be called a large steel plant.

The Lantian No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant, almost one-tenth of the population of Lantian County, with an annual output of only 500,000 tons, can be said to be very inefficient, but Lantian Steel Industry has just started, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

But this data has shocked Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting looked at the large factory in front of him, his eyes were extremely shocked, this factory covering an area of dozens of acres, a year of output can be as much as two Daming steel output, this is such a terrifying thing, think about Sun Chuanting felt a little frightened, no wonder Daming can't beat Lantian, this steel output is very revealing.

And just when Sun Chuanting was shocked, the factory on the side made up again: "Leader, although the output of our factory is not the highest among the five major steel plants in Lantian, we are the oldest steel plant in Lantian, and our factory is also responsible for the production of part of special steel." ”

The director thought that this was to inspect the work from above, to find some advantages for his old factory, but it was a bolt from the blue in Sun Chuanting's ears, and then Sun Chuanting's eyes widened and said: "What, you still have five such steel mills?!! ”

The factory director was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Xiangsheng, isn't this common sense? Why doesn't this master know common sense?

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Tell him about it." ”

The factory director said: "Well, that's right, there are indeed five, but not all of them are in Lantian, Lantian is currently in our old factory, and there are two factories and three factories, one is built in Fugu County, and the other is built in Hanzhong, supplying steel to the north and south of Lantian." ”

"There are two more that were completed last year, one is the fourth iron and steel plant in Hubei Province, and the fifth iron and steel plant in Ningxia, Gansu, these factories are all new factories, the construction equipment is also the latest, the output can be larger than ours, there can be an output of 60 to 800,000 tons a year, but in terms of quality, I still think our factory is good."

The factory director never forgot his identity and praised his factory again, but Sun Chuanting was already stupid, one factory is equivalent to the annual steel output of two Daming, and five factories, that is, ten Daming's annual steel output, ten Daming's steel output, Sun Chuanting was stunned by this conclusion, this gap is too big, how can this Daming fight with Lantian.

At this time, the director of the factory made up the knife again: "By the way, this year's Ministry of Industry plans to build two steel plants in Henan, Xianning, Hubei and Yichang this year to drive the economic development of the surrounding areas." ”
