Zhu Jingyuan chatted with Zhu Zhongliang about the submarine in the morning, and returned to his office in the afternoon to handle official business.

The first thing I saw was a plan for the next phase of development in and around Mengxian County.

Lin Zexu and Niu Jian presided over the production, and Liu Zhixin, Pan Shien and other officials of the Great Food Country provided important suggestions.

The current urban area of Mon County is located on an estuary island in a river bay.

The area of the whole island is less than 15 square kilometers, which is very small in the municipal districts of later generations.

Originally, the urban area was even smaller, and only one-fifth of the 15-square-kilometer island was developed.

This is still counting the newly built textile and garment industrial zone after the Ming Dynasty came.

The built-up areas are basically concentrated at the outermost part of the island, and most of the interior is still wilderness, tidal flats, and farmland.

Now, due to the development of industrial zones, the urban population of Mong County is growing rapidly, and this momentum will be maintained for a long time.

While the current growth is mainly workers, the vast majority now live in factory dormitories.

But their assets are also accumulating rapidly, a large number of workers are marrying and having offspring, and soon families will want to buy independent properties.

The houses left by the original owners in the urban area are now basically allocated for use, and there are very few existing vacant houses.

It was time for the county to expand further.

The goal of this development plan is not limited to Mengxian Island, but the entire Mengxian River Bay Area, including Mengxian Island.

The long-term plan is an area of 15 kilometers horizontally and 20 kilometers longitudinally, totaling nearly 300 square kilometers.

In the south, north and west of Mengxian Island, there are three peninsulas divided by bifurcated river bays and the sea.

Therefore, the plan also takes advantage of this natural boundary, which is clearly divided into three directions and four areas.

The core is, of course, Mengxian Island, and the long-term plan is to serve as an administrative center, a cultural center, and a technology center.

The immediate plan to begin in the near future is to clear and level all the undeveloped wasteland on the island.

Build a high-standard ring road, and build a three-vertical and one-horizontal "Feng" shaped main road inside the ring road.

The existing trees are preserved according to the situation and used as pristine green parks before they are directly developed into built-up areas.

No farmland is reserved on the island, and all land is listed as a construction reserve.

The expansion of the existing industrial area will continue and the construction of a mid-range residential area will be carried out in parallel for the existing working families.

At the same time, in the very center of the island, a new royal palace was built for Zhu Jingyuan.

On the street in front of the palace, a new set of Dashi State Government Office and the management yamen of Mengxian County were built.

A new R&D and design center will be built in the vicinity at the same time.

In addition to Mengxian Island, the planning of the three peninsulas belongs to the short-term and even long-term planning.

There is only one relatively rough direction at the moment.

The western part of Mengxian Island, a peninsula inside the bay, serves as a reserve for commercial construction.

The northern peninsula is used as a reserve area for industrial construction, and the southern peninsula is temporarily used as an agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishery development zone.

According to the actual development needs, different types of wharves are built.

Every year, where there is a budget for wealth, infrastructure is built in these areas.

Assemble the remaining indigenous Momen around them and send them to the interior as pawns to attack them.

After reading it in general, Zhu Jingyuan was vaguely aware that some people intended to move the capital.

How can you give up Quicksand City!

Although the environment of Quicksand City is 100 million points hard, there are no green mountains and green waters at all, and the temperature of 40 degrees in summer is daily.

Although the environment of Mengxian County is 100 million points better than that of Quicksand City.

The climate is warm and comfortable, with plenty of sunshine and moisture, and a large population carrying potential, which is very suitable for living and farming.

But the bay is the foundation of the big food country, and it is the core gold mine of the big food country......

The key is what kind of royal city to build, and the royal city must be built according to the standardized pattern, and there are too many restrictions of all kinds.

If you want to build a house for yourself, it's also a cultivation palace and a garden, so you can do whatever you want.

The key is that he is about to go to Yinzhou, even if the royal city and the palace are repaired, no one will enter and live.

When Zhu Jingyuan saw this, he directly took a piece of paper and wrote down his requirements first:

Instead of a modified royal palace on the island, you can expand the base of the Blue Water Garden and use it as a residence for members of the royal family.

At the same time as the construction of the new urban area, a new county government can be built at a suitable location.

It is possible to build a set of management yamen in the Mozhou region, and the standard is in accordance with the central government office of the king of the Great Food.

Some yamen who are not directly related to the area can be relocated to Mengxian County.

But the political king must always be in Quicksand City.

It's almost a two-city system.

The nominal capital will always be Quicksand City, but Mong County may become the de facto capital.

Zhu Jingyuan's thinking is still the same as before.

The population carrying capacity of Quicksand City is indeed too low, so its functions are reduced as much as possible.

Therefore, various industrial zones have been built out before.

Quicksand City only retains the oil extraction industry.

Now it seems that the royal capital, as an administrative center, also seems to have nothing to do with oil extraction.

However, oil is the most important economic source of the Great Food Country, so the political status of Quicksand City must always be maintained.

Especially in the case of a harsh local environment.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan appointed Quicksand City as the capital and will never be shaken.

But the actual staff and the function of the capital can allow for a gradual migration to Mong County.

Zhu Jingyuan had just finished writing his meaning and put it aside, and found that the next report was written by Chunxiang.

Zhu Jingyuan opened it and glanced at the spring fragrance following him:

"Yes...... About smuggling? ”

"Hmm."

Chunxiang directly explained the content of the report she wrote, mainly to summarize and convey the conversation with Aoxue last night.

The main thing is for the disposal of Aoxue's fine, and Zhu Jingyuan's meaning should be consulted.

Zhu Jingyuan heard Chunxiang's explanation, flipped through the report she wrote again, and was a little surprised by Ao Xue's actions:

"This girl is too good at tossing things, she has done so many things in one afternoon!

"And then there's that fine......

"If you really admit it completely...... This kind of thing cannot be offset, and a violation is a violation......

But considering human nature, she took the initiative to hand over the money this time, and if she didn't get any forgiveness, then the next time there was a similar situation, then she might not pay it.

"Anyone else will have this mentality.

"So far, she has performed well, she can't be punished and cracked down, and she should be rewarded.

"So do as you want.

"Change the fine to recover the stolen goods, and the amount to eighty-five silver bills.

"Arrange for a few servants to go to that shop as buddies, and guard this tea shop that may have a chance to be bait.

"If those smugglers reappear, report the situation and decide whether to arrest or not."

Haruka received the order to record it, and was ready to go back and do it.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the documents for a while, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zexu came over.

Lin Zexu also handed a report to Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time orally explained the general situation of the report:

"Your Highness, from yesterday afternoon to this morning, the cleaning operation, which lasted for most of the day, has come to an end for the time being.

"A total of 372 small-scale smugglers and resellers have been arrested, and the punishment plan is currently being screened and determined.

"The biggest problem at the moment is that we still haven't found a way for smugglers to go to sea.

"An and others, who are suspected of serving the smugglers of the Taixi channel, lost their traces in the process of being tracked.

"The other party did not appear on any of the piers, nor on the beaches of Mengxian Island and the surrounding areas.

"They probably took refuge in very secret hideouts, and there are still a lot of primeval jungles in the western part of Mengxian Island.

"I'm going to do a comprehensive search of the undeveloped areas of the island as well.

"At the same time, it is hoped that a clean-up operation within the island will begin immediately to eradicate the remaining jungle areas on the island.

"This is to prepare for full-scale development and construction, and it will also make it possible for smugglers to have nowhere to hide in the future."

After listening to these explanations, Zhu Jingyuan picked up the development plan he had just approved and handed it to Lin Zexu opposite:

"I wrote a little bit of my own advice, and then about the smugglers, does Mr. Lin think they are hiding in the jungle?"

Lin Zexu took the document with both hands, but did not open it immediately, and first answered Zhu Jingyuan's question:

"They were not found on board, and the boats that appeared on the surface of the sea were carefully inspected, and no relevant personnel were found."

Zhu Jingyuan frowned subconsciously, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw the submarine idea he had written these days, and his brows jumped:

"None of the boats on the sea? Is it possible for them to escape from under the water? ”

Lin Zexu was obviously stunned:

"You mean dive away? But the underwater lurking could not last long and should be able to be detected by patrol boats. ”

Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand and said:

"I mean, submersibles, small submarines, this thing is a smuggling artifact.

"In the exit of Mengxian Island and the bay, is there a mine protection and anti-submarine net?"

Lin Zexu also understood:

"After the end of the war, the lightning protection nets outside the port of Mengxian County have been removed, and we have not laid them again after receiving them.

"So, now is the time to re-establish the outer ...... of the port Or even an anti-submarine mine net that surrounds the whole island? ”

Zhu Jingyuan directly commanded:

"Yes, just deploy it as soon as possible, don't worry about this cost, as long as you find the smuggler, you can earn it back soon."

"Moreover, even if the smuggler has not used a submarine before, he will think of using a submarine sooner or later.

"Even if the anti-submarine anti-mine net is not used now, it will be able to play a role in the future."

Lin Zexu immediately nodded and agreed:

"The students start preparing as soon as they get back."

Zhu Jingyuan continued to think about it and ordered:

"If the other party used a submarine to escape, he may have escaped from Mengxian Island and went to the sea outside.

"But submarines can't run fast, especially small or even human-powered submarines, and ordinary merchant ships can't run fast either.

"They have to hide and lurk out, and they can't let go of running, and even if they go out, they shouldn't have gone far.

"They couldn't have used their submersibles all the way to Tessie, they would have to join up with other merchant ships overseas.

"So if you can't find a problem on the dock, it's not necessarily okay to check it a second time at sea.

"So immediately send my order to let the escort fleet of Mengxian County go to sea and go to the open sea to check all the ships around.

"Including the ship that set sail from Mengxian and had already been inspected at the dock in Mengxian County, looking for a submersible and a few people from the New Roman Tea Shop.

"All ships must be fully inspected, and those who do not cooperate will be directly arrested, and those who escape will be directly sunk."

"Notify the Right Military Governor's Office to block the Jizhou Red Sea West Sea Canal, and notify the former Military Governor's Office to block the South Mozhou Channel.

"Let the two governors pull out all the trained cruisers and turn over the entire ships around the west coast of the Little Western Ocean!"

Zhu Jingyuan said the order, and Chunxiang recorded it beside him.

Lin Zexu hesitated for a few seconds, and finally tried to remind:

"Your Highness...... That's too much fanfare, isn't it......

"Moreover, even if you check it outside with great fanfare now, there is a high probability that you won't find anything.

"The open sea is so big, there are so many ships on the sea, the key is that a ship of tens of thousands of tons, if you want to hide a few people and a few bags of clothes, it is too easy.

"Even if there is no one on the ship to cooperate, even if there is no one to report the investigators, it is difficult to find out.

"Such large-scale, high-intensity, and even repetitive on-board inspections seriously affect maritime trade.

"Even if you find someone in the open sea, it's hard to know if they're really diving out of the island.

The student suggested that you can check the sea off Mengxian County, and there is no need to block the Xihai Canal and the Nanmozhou waterway.

"It is better to first lay anti-mine and anti-submarine nets around Mengxian County and continue to control all the access routes in Mengxian County.

At the same time, observe the reaction of the Tessie market to determine whether this has cut off the smuggling channel of Tessie.

"We will also continue to see if the relevant personnel of the other party will reappear."

Zhu Jingyuan walked around the room, and then said quite seriously:

"I think it's better to check it out with great fanfare, and it's better to have results, and it's not in vain if there are no results.

"I'm about to get out of here, and without my suppression, people in all walks of life might be bolder.

"I'm going to hit hard now, and the situation should be stable for a longer period of time.

"Moreover, I, the Governor of Dashi, Daqinhai, and Mozhou have to be discharged from their errands of military and political affairs.

"After I'm gone, there's no one here who can mobilize them to cooperate."

Lin Zexu knew that Zhu Jingyuan had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him, and responded directly as a staff member:

"Student, then sort out your orders and send them to the headquarters of the Governor's Mansion."

And after Zhu Jingyuan's orders were conveyed, he almost pressed the pause button for half of the little West.

Zhu Jingyuan's identity is very special, and he is the greatest contributor to the peace talks and even the world war.

Now he has the position and power to be in charge of the Right Army Governor's Office and the former Military Governor's Office.

The smuggling operation in Mengxian County is indeed rampant, and it can even be regarded as a repeated ban, so I can only ask the army for help.

After receiving the order, the headquarters of the two governors did not hesitate to act.

The fleet, located near the Little Western Ocean, quickly left the port and directly cut off the routes in the north and south directions of the western part of the Little Western Ocean.
