Because the population of Shunfeng City is now increasing, and the water source is also greatly scarce, he also plans to dig a canal directly to Jinsha City to divert water from the Bailong River......

This will not only fundamentally solve the problem of drinking water and crop irrigation for the residents of Shunfeng City, but also solve the transportation problem.

If this canal is navigable, it will be equivalent to connecting Niutou Mountain, White Dragon City, Jinsha City, and Shunfeng City.

The timber from Niutou Mountain, the cattle and sheep from Bailong City, and the coal sold to the people of Dongying can all be transported directly to Shunfeng City, which not only greatly saves transportation costs, increases transportation volume, but also greatly relieves the pressure of land transportation!

So when he reported this idea to Chen Jisheng and Liu Cong, the two raised their hands in favor!

Yes is yes, but the canal project is too big, and we don't have so many manpower, material and financial resources now, so let's include it in the five-year plan first, and when we have the money, we will start working immediately!

"Wanchun, I pondered that the road from Shunfeng City to Changshan should either not be repaired, but if it should be repaired, it should be repaired firmly, and we can have a century-old plan, but we can't always tinker with it...... Don't be busy building roads first, tomorrow we will issue an announcement to recruit some plastering stonemasons, and let's build a cement factory first. ”

Xiao Chen decided to build a cement road, although it takes time, effort and money, but as long as it is completed, it can be done once and for all, at least ten or eight years will never be broken, this is still a conservative estimate, if it is repaired well, there will be no problem in twenty years.

Because the average load of the largest tonnage mule wagon is about two tons, if all of them are pretended to be rubber tires, the damage to the road is not very great.

"What cement plant?" Fu Yan said that it is unheard of, build a road, build a road, what are you doing in a factory? Isn't this something that is unrelated, is your boss addicted to opening a factory, how many factories do you say you have opened!

"When you have time to go back to Changshan in two days, let's talk to the old man Cong and discuss with them, whether this cement factory is open in Shunfeng City, Jinsha City, or Changshan City...... In addition, you choose a few places, let's open a few sugar factories and canneries in Shunfeng City as soon as possible, which can also temporarily relieve the pressure of transportation. Xiao Chen said.

"Boss, the transportation pressure has been relieved, but the financial pressure is even heavier! Anyway, I can do anything, and you have to find a way to get the money, and it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and I can't do anything without silver. "Fu Yan grabbed the key and gave me silver, a lot of silver!

"Brother Xiao, are we Yanyun County's funds so tight?" Baili Qingyun suddenly said, "Then can you still have the 200,000 taels of silver you promised me?" ”

Xiao Chen chatted with Baili Qingyun about the situation in Xuanming City on the road, and Baili Qingyun felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold, he had to repair the city first, even if it was an earth city.

As long as there is a city, the population can gather, and with the population, it can cultivate fields, graze cattle and sheep, garrison troops, and develop the economy.

"Don't worry, you have just taken office, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I have to support you!" Xiao Chen swore an oath.

As the saying goes, if there are more lice, don't bite, and if there are more accounts, he doesn't have to worry about it, and he expects to spend more money in the future, so he doesn't care about the 108,000.

Fortunately, he knew that he still had some gold, and although there might not be much left, he could always exchange it for seven or eight hundred thousand silver, so don't panic, it's not a big problem......

I already knew that I had left the golden ship of Prince Ullman, although the gold on it had been almost disassembled, but if it was dismantled more thoroughly, it would be possible to peel off tens of thousands of taels of gold.

But this ship is too ostentatious, Xiao Chen feels that it is not suitable for him to keep it, and when Li Shi leaves, he simply takes it as a gift to honor the prince, and it is estimated that Li Shi will not dare to use it, and he will have to sacrifice it to Li Wanjiang when he goes back.

Although the financial situation of the entire Yanyun County is quite tight now, Xiao Chen is still very optimistic, because in the long run, this is actually a good thing.

Because the silver used is to lay the foundation for the future military strength, economic development, and population growth, in time, everything will be fine, and when the time comes, maybe the gold and silver in Yanyun County can be piled up into a mountain, and they can't be used, and the flowers can't be spent......

The difficulties in front of him still existed, and Xiao Chen had to rack his brains to find a way to raise money.

Alas...... If only I could really turn stones into gold, or find a treasure or two......

Don't say it, Xiao Chen really has a treasure map...... fragments.

At present, it is Zhao Gongming's piece, Duanmu Nanfeng's piece, Li Tanhua's piece, Murong Danqiu's piece, and Xu Haiming's piece, a total of five pieces, and there is a special difference of four.

I heard Zhao Gongming say that the nine pieces of this treasure map must all be spliced together to find the treasure, and even one less piece will not work!

In other words, Xiao Chen's finding five pieces is the same as finding eight pieces, as long as one piece is missing, the treasure will be in vain.

All of them survived, but the other four didn't necessarily die, as long as one of the four died...... I'm afraid I'll never find the bird!

If you really can't do it, you can really only smash the pot and sell iron, it seems that there are still some messy treasures at home, let Xu Wenzhou count them when you go back, sell them all for silver, and then solve the urgent need first.

They chatted about things while eating, and Xiao Ye and Ouyang Yunyi were extremely bored when they listened to it, and they didn't understand it very well, and they couldn't interject.

And Fu Yan lives a very frugal life, and he eats very casually, usually cabbage and tofu can deal with it, and this bit of beef and mutton on the table today is still bought from the market, only seven or eight catties.

The fat man himself honestly and unceremoniously killed more than half, and the rest of the little bit was not enough for the little brothers to eat, and he was embarrassed to ask for more, and he was even hungrier after eating for a long time......

Ouyang Yunyi quietly stabbed Xiao Ye, squeezed his eyebrows at him and shook his head and chin, Xiao Ye understood.

took advantage of a gap in their conversation to ask Xiao Chen, "Brother, you talk about things, can I take Yunyi to the city for a walk?" ”

"Aren't you two tired? Go if you're not tired, come back early, remember Ang, don't cause trouble, don't fight! Xiao Chen knew that the two of them were bored sitting here, and the young man was very active, so he agreed with a few words.

"Don't look for a big Yanma!" Ye Baiqing said with a smile.

"It's not okay for any horses, it's going to be this tune everywhere now, I'll have my hands free after a while, and I'll have to put it in order." Fu Yan said.

"You can pull it down, people in Fengyang City can't help it, why do you Fu Wanchun bother to do this?" Qian Yunfei said.

"It is still forbidden, this kind of place is smoky and miasma, mixed with fish and dragons, it is most easy to hide dirt and pollution, and contaminate diseases, Wanchun You can come step by step, the first step is not to allow the issuance of such business licenses, the second step is to increase the taxes on them, the third step is to strengthen their management, check every three days, check every five days......" Xiao Chen said.
