"Zhoushan is a place that is more suitable for the navy than for large-scale port trade. After all, even the Yangtze River Bridge has not been built, and it is even more impossible to build a sea-crossing bridge.

So! You kid was wrong back then, look at the present. The goods carried by Huating Wharf every day can no longer be described by the volume of trucks, but can only be described by how many wagons. ”

Li Xiao stood at the Huating Wharf Railway Station, for the convenience of transfer.

The wharf and the railway station in Huating are connected together, and what gets off the boat here will get on the boat there.

However, there was also a lot of cargo that was unloaded and boarded on a sailboat. After all, not all towns and cities are connected by train.

On the Huangpu River, there are not many fishing boats, and all of them are sailboats of various types.

"Zhoushan is indeed more suitable for the navy, it is an island. It's easy to keep the garrison secret, but the Huangpu River is too crowded, and if the warships are added, it will be even more crowded. ”

Li Hao also had to admit that Li Xiao was very far-sighted at the beginning. I originally wanted to build a wharf in Zhoushan, because the geographical environment there seemed to be more suitable.

Now that I think about it, I really think less about it.

"In this world, trade is the king of wealth circulation. As long as there is such a dock, there will be a steady stream of wealth pouring in.

That Huating county ......! Hehe! Li Xiao looked at Huating County in the distance, smiled and didn't speak.

"Big brother, what's wrong with this county?" Li Hao was a little confused.

"Chen Tingjing, the commander of Huating County, see Lord Governor, handsome!" As he was talking, a guy wearing a seven-rank official uniform with white skin and looking at his twenties came over and bowed.

"Chen Tingjing!" Li Xiao felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

According to experience, Li Xiao listens to familiar guys, who are not traitors and evildoers, but must be famous in history.

"It's a lowly position!" Chen Tingjing gave a deep salute.

"Chen Zhixian is a year of Geng, what?" Li Xiao glanced at Chen Tingjing and asked.

"Xia Guan is forty out of twenty this year."

"Twenty-four?" Li Xiao looked up and down, this thing had a beard, and he looked almost thirty.

This man, as long as he has a scruffy beard, has no age spectrum.

"No! He was twenty-four years old. Chen Tingjing was also a little confused, why did this handsome man keep inquiring about his age.

"At the age of twenty-four, he is already a county master of Qipin, and he has the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people in his hands. You're doing a great job! Li Xiao looked at the seven-grade county order in front of him with a smile.

To be exact, it is the seven-pin sesame official!

In Li Xiao's eyes, this kind of official is a sesame official. Although, this is the county lord who controls the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people.

"The humble position was three years ago, and he was the champion of the Shanxi high school entrance examination." Chen Tingjing replied very respectfully and proudly.

"The top student in the high school entrance examination seems to be a talent. Let's talk about how you plan to do the well-being of these hundreds of thousands of people. Li Xiao looked at Chen Tingjing with a smile.

Li Hao also looked at Chen Tingjing, and he had the impression that the eldest brother rarely took care of this kind of sesame mung bean-like official. Not to mention that in Li Xiao's eyes, even in Li Hao's eyes, this kind of official is a small role.

The officials who wait for Li Hao to meet every day are one level older than Chen Tingjing.

The eldest brother must have an unknown reason for talking to such a small person.

"Huating County now has a population of 984,815 people. It is believed that Huating County guards the gateway of the Yangtze River.

With today's prosperity, it is really the Huating Wharf that Lai Dashuai decided to build ten years ago.

I feel that I want Huating to be more prosperous. Not only to make good use of this wharf, but also to make better use of the status of Huating freight transit center.

Dashuai wants to have goods all over the world, but the Yangtze River is in front of him, and he wants cotton cloth, timber, and all kinds of industrial manufactured products from the north. You have to transfer it through Huating!

Freight transit center, then there must be a lot of money to be delivered. Therefore, Huating state-owned money bank needs to expand its scale.

Railways to Fujian and Guangzhou also need to be opened as soon as possible.

The lowly government will also build a hotel, as well as a variety of entertainment facilities. Let merchants from all over the world come to Huating, eat and drink and have fun.

In this way, Huating will create more workmanship opportunities. The people of Huating will be more prosperous because they have a job. At the same time, taxes will increase significantly. ”

When it came to the last one, Chen Tingjing seemed a little embarrassed.

Talent! At this time, we know how to increase jobs, and at the same time, we also know how to develop the tertiary industry. The economic acumen of this product can be!

"Humble duty! Humble ......! It seemed that he had made a lot of determination, Chen Tingjing took a deep breath: "I am willing to ask for it, and demolish the city wall of Huating County." In order to integrate the county seat with the wharf, it is convenient for merchants from all walks of life in the north and south. ”

Everyone gasped, the city walls had been a necessity for a city for thousands of years.

At the same time, it is also the main facility of the city to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, which has not changed since the Xia Shang Zhou.

Now this guy actually needs to tear down the city wall, in case of an invasion by foreign enemies. ......, the citizens will be lambs to the slaughter.

You know, as a county with a population of one million. There are only more than 400 security forces here, and they are only armed with a few pistols. There were only five rifles, two of which were still for the sentries to carry.

In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy, it is really not a defense capability at all.

Today's handsome man is born in martial arts, and everyone in the world knows that Li Xiao's martial arts are great. Now you want to tear down the walls in front of him? This county master has drunk too much......!

"Oh, demolish the city wall of Huating County. Tell me, what's the good enough? Li Xiao was noncommittal, picked up a stone on the ground, and weighed it repeatedly in his hand.

Several of Chen Tingjing's subordinates were very worried that the marshal would throw a stone directly on the head of the county magistrate in his anger.

According to legend, this marshal was notoriously tyrannical.

"According to the Daming Coastal Defense Instruction, the city gate needs to be closed after sunset in Linhai County. In this way, the merchants could not go out of the city to the docks at night.

But on the pier, boats arrived all day. At the same time, the train station also has trains departing and entering the station throughout the day. Merchants who get off the bus can't enter the city, and merchants who get on the bus can only go out of the city in advance.

Look over there, there's already someone building an inn.

In the long run, the outside of the city will be more prosperous than the inside. And the people in the city will also move to live outside the city, and it doesn't matter if there are any walls or not.

Today, the walls are an obstacle to the city's development. Under the official, he was willing to ask the marshal to order the demolition of the city wall of Huating County, so that Huating could accelerate its development. ”

After Chen Tingjing finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Li Xiao's verdict. One sentence of this handsome man can decide the fate of his life.

"But, Huating Binhai. What to do with this coastal defense? Li Xiao looked at Chen Tingjing with blazing eyes.

"Enlightened handsome!

Huating coastal defense is in the Jiajing period, in order to deal with the sea pirates, it has been a hundred years ago. At that time, the Japanese were ravaging the seas. Frequently attacking the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, coastal defense is indeed the top priority of the country.

But now it is different from the past, and now the commander of the Ming Dynasty has sharp peaks. Millions of soldiers are waiting for them, hoping that the big commander will order them to strike a blow.

The question is, looking at the universe, who dares to compete with me? Under the deterrence of the commanders and soldiers, the Japanese have become the most modest and courteous gentlemen. In Daming, they didn't even dare to touch the buttocks of the female donkey, for fear that they would be punished for offending morals.

Moreover, the minister also thinks that the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is so long, and it is far better to defend against the enemy at sea than to be stupid in the closed sea. After Chen Tingjing finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

Because he has already seen Li Xiao's eyes as sharp as a knife!

After staring at Chen Tingjing for a long time, Li Xiao withdrew his gaze.

"But ......! Soon the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge will be connected, and it will be a bridge with roads and railways. In other words, soon Huating will not be the only transshipment channel for materials in Jiangnan. At that time, what do you do? ”

"The subordinates believe that this is not a problem. Jinling is connected to the train of Jiangbei, and it will inevitably prosper. The lowly post can work with Jinling to pull the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou to build an economic belt along the Yangtze River.

As long as these cities develop, they can directly drive the economy of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, and even the entire south of the Yangtze River. If it is connected to Fujian and Guangzhou, it will be connected to the railway.

Then the whole south will gradually develop. ”

"This is a little shallow view of the humble position, please give me some advice." After Chen Tingjing finished speaking, he also modestly said that this was his own shallow opinion.

This is all out of the Yangtze River Economic Zone, and it's a little bit of a damn shallow? To be honest, Li Xiao didn't think about it so completely! It's a little bit of a damn shallow view, this fucking is a shallow view, what is a high view?

"Shanxi's top student in the high school entrance examination is indeed good, and it is true that Shanxi people can do business. Defend against the enemy at sea, against the enemy at sea!

If he, Li Xiu, really dares to put the enemy into the Ming Inland Sea, why should I behead him. That's it! Tomorrow, you can arrange for someone to demolish the Huating city wall.

At the same time, Huating County was upgraded to the capital city. Honorable! That is, you will continue to work as the county commander of Huating, and you will be able to wear a five-grade official uniform from the beginning of the day. Li Xiao casually threw away the stone in his hand.

"No!" Chen Tingjing couldn't believe that this was true, and he was promoted two levels in a row.

"Do a good job and run this Huating Mansion well. Lord Shoufu will transfer you to Beijing on an errand! Li Xiao patted Chen Tingjing's shoulder cordially, looking approachable and disgusting.

"Thank you for the promotion, the lower officials will definitely do their best for me to complete the construction ...... for my Dashuai!"

"Gotcha! Now that I'm Ming, I don't need you to die. Good job!

It's all the parents and officials of the old man Qingtian, I think. You all have to be good parents and officials, and if you really treat the people with the same thoughts that your parents have for your children, there is nothing that you can't do badly on this errand.

Get up! Today, I will live in your Huating and find a better place to settle down. ”

"No!" Chen Tingjing played excitedly, and from then on, he was an official personally promoted by the marshal.

Li Xiao is known as the marshal and firmly controls the Ming army. That's because the needle can't be inserted into the water and splashed in, but Li Xiao also knows his shortcomings.

He is good at military affairs, but he is extremely bad at civil affairs.

This may be the relationship between two lifetimes, and I am a soldier. A head of military thinking, a new thing to come out. Li Xiao's first thought was how to use it on the battlefield, and even everything was studied in accordance with military requirements.

The little civilian goods that were made up were actually by-products of the Military Research Institute.

Therefore, Li Xiao rarely interferes in civil affairs, which is also the reason why the two first assistants, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan, can work for a long time.

It is precisely because he rarely interferes in civil affairs that Zhang Huangyan will generally not refuse Li Xiao's interference in civil affairs.

Chen Tingjing ran out to get busy, and Li Xiao continued to look at the busy dock in the distance with his hands behind his back.

"Big brother, do you appreciate this Chen Tingjing very much?" Seeing Chen Tingjing leaving, Li Hao leaned over and asked.

"You have been in Jiangnan for all these years, and you haven't noticed the county order of Huating, but you are the champion of the Shanxi high school entrance examination." Li Xiao seemed to be speaking into the air.

"Big brother, I am the governor of the five provinces. There are more than 100 county orders under his command, not to mention the seven-rank officials who are at the same level as the county orders. When I used to come to Huating, I was surrounded by a bunch of people.

Could it be that this is the reason why you don't greet the magistrate, big brother? ”

"You are the governor of Jiangnan, and when you come down to inspect, of course you are surrounded by a bunch of officials. Is it that everyone wants to show his face in front of you, and he dares to squeeze in front of you with a small county order?

That's why I'm reluctant to inform the magistrate in advance, and lo and behold, we'll wake up tomorrow morning. The edge of the residence will be full of officials, and everyone will be accompanied by smiling faces.

At that time, you couldn't see it at all. Which is talent, and which is straw bale.

Brother!

Maxima is very good, and it needs to have Bole. Today's Daming is not so much the Zhu family, but our Li family.

I have built so many schools and spent a lot of money on education. It's not just that I want to cultivate more talents, but this person has been cultivated.

We have to have Bole in our Li family, such a huge empire. With our brothers, not to mention the three heads and six arms, even the thousand-armed Guanyin can't be busy.

You have to be good at discovering talents and applying talents.

Let me tell you a secret, do you know why the eldest brother can lie in the marshal's mansion all day long, and have so little official business? It's because, hehe...... Your eldest brother is good at spotting capable people.

It's a great way to be lazy! ”

Li Xiao turned his head and winked at Li Hao mischievously.

"It's still big brother, you're amazing, but you also seem to have seen Chen Tingjing for the first time. Why did you give him so many opportunities to speak? ”

"Huh! Your eldest brother and I have the ability to predict the future, so let's learn a little.

If nothing else, let's just say that piece of advice.

Huating, Suzhou and Hangzhou, plus Jinling, and even Wuhan are dressed in a string. The formation of an economic belt along the Yangtze River will drive the development of the entire Jiangnan.

If it cooperates with Liangguang and Fujian, the economy of the entire South China will be revitalized. It could take 10, 20 years. ”

"Ahh That's a long time......! Li Hao's face was full of black lines.

"It's been a little longer, but once it's done. Daming will be invincible in the world! ”
