Chapter 204: Village Chief, Can You Teach Me to Read?
Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei inspected the production base at the speed of one county every day, and by the way, they learned about the people's livelihood and governance of each county.
The two of them traveled all the way, and did not find any official corruption or arrogance.
The scholars of the entire Hanzhong County were tied together by Lin Chuan with the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the scholars also knew that the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce was inseparable from the production base, and the manpower required for the production base gradually increased.
In order to ensure that their own interests are not harmed, the scholars must let Hanzhong County develop steadily.
Therefore, none of the officials in the entire Hanzhong County dared to reach out to the people, and the benefits they received from the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce were already a large sum of silver, and there was no need to risk losing their officials or even losing their lives to be corrupt.
The local Haoqiang in Hanzhong also bought their own products such as hydraulic looms and other products of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
The business banks they operate in the county bring them stable profits, and the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce does not plan to penetrate into the county at present.
Except for Hanzhong County, the production bases of other states and counties are built around the branch city.
Therefore, the Hanzhong County that Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei saw was thriving everywhere.
This is also the purpose of Lin Chuan to set up the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce at the beginning.
A week later, Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei finally arrived at Fangling County, the county seat where the last production base of the trip was located.
The two production bases are located in two villages outside Fangling County.
After Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei went to see a production base in the morning, they went directly to the village where the last production base was located after having lunch in the county seat at noon.
When inspecting the previous production base, Lin Chuan found that except for the water-powered loom factory, almost one-fifth of the female workers in each production base.
Lin Chuan, who saw this change, was very happy, and more women were willing to work in the production base, which showed that the agricultural foundation of Hanzhong County had become better and better.
When Lin Chuan inspected the production bases in various counties, he also paid attention to the farmland.
Although it is winter now, some changes can be seen, not only the farmland has become more tidy, but even the weeds on the edge of the farmland are much less dead than before.
This shows that the people of Hanzhong County have less labor in farming, but the crop harvest is higher.
Otherwise, a family will not have the energy to juggle the work of the production base and the cultivation at the same time.
"Boyo, after following me out for so many days, what other changes have you found besides this production base?"
Lin Chuan wanted to see Jiang Wei's understanding of the changes in agriculture in Hanzhong, so he said that he would take the school.
The construction of production bases, recruitment, and production in various counties are basically carried out by Jiang Wei.
Therefore, when Jiang Wei faced Lin Chuan's school examination, the focus of his thinking was on the livelihood of each county.
Jiang Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, and then began to answer Lin Chuan's question:
"Teacher, if you want to say that the changes in the counties of Hanzhong, in addition to the production base, it is the living conditions of the people."
"Nowadays, the people of Hanzhong County have thick cotton clothes in winter, there is enough food at home, and the families who work in the production base still have some money to spare......
Jiang Wei told about the changes in the lives of the people in Hanzhong from food, clothing, housing and transportation, but when he saw Lin Chuan, he just nodded and did not show a satisfied smile.
It seems that there is no point to the point, where is the negligence? ’
Jiang Wei thought in his heart, and he kept thinking in his mind.
'Change, change...... By the way, the teacher and I inspected the counties together, and we only need to analyze the situation that the teacher paid attention to during the inspection to know the answer to the question! ’
After a flash of inspiration, Jiang Wei began to recall Lin Chuan's focus.
"Teacher, it's a farming thing in Hanzhong!"
Jiang Wei finally thought that although it was winter, Lin Chuan would always stop the carriage and take a look at the farmland covered with snow.
"Well, yes, tell me what you think."
Lin Chuan heard that Jiang Wei had finally mentioned farming, so he nodded with a smile and said.
After Jiang Wei said about farming, he linked farming with the production base, and then suddenly realized.
Then Jiang Wei said excitedly to Lin Chuan:
"Teacher, students get it! The biggest change in Hanzhong is farming! ”
"The people of Hanzhong are full of food and easy to farm, so they will come to work in the production base!"
"Jiang Wei finally understands the teacher's good intentions and thanks the teacher's teaching!"
Lin Chuan looked at Jiang Wei with a smile and finally figured out the joints, and said with relief:
"Boyo, it's really a pleasure for you to think of this."
"So you have to know that the reason that the teacher has repeatedly mentioned to you 'take from the people and use it for the people' is to let you know that everything about the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce is not built on the teacher, nor on the officials of the scholar clan!"
"The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce is built on the people of Hanzhong!"
After listening to what Lin Chuan said, Jiang Wei was already very moved in his heart, and now Jiang Wei really understood what Lin Chuan repeatedly mentioned to them:
Take it from the people, use it for the people!
"Teacher, students will always remember it in their hearts, and they dare not forget it for a moment!"
Jiang Wei solemnly promised to Lin Chuan again.
Lin Chuan knew that Jiang Wei had truly fully understood his admonition now, and after nodding his head, he stopped speaking, leaving Jiang Wei some time to think and digest.
Soon after, Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei stepped into this last production base.
When the craftsmen learned that it was Lord Hanzhong and Lord Jiang who came to inspect together, they all warmly welcomed them from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei were also kind to the craftsmen in the production base, and soon inspected the production base and found no problems.
After Lin Chuan came to the outside of the production base, he saw that the sun had not yet set and there was no snow today, so he decided not to stay in the county seat and returned directly to Hanzhong City.
It just so happened that today was the day when the Great Wei Communiqué was sent to the village, and Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei's carriage was blocked by a large number of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village.
The accompanying guards were about to step forward to open the way, but were stopped by Lin Chuan.
As the founder of the Great Wei Communiqué, Lin Chuan at this time was suddenly curious about what the people in Hanzhong thought of the content of the Great Wei Communiqué.
So Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei each brought a guard by their side and came to the crowd.
Some villagers discovered that Lin Chuan's carriage was not made by ordinary people, but the villagers in Hanzhong County were indeed knowledgeable, and they were all curious about the content of this issue of the Great Wei Bulletin, so no one made a fuss.
Next to the village chief, there was a brazier set up by the villagers, and a pot of hot tea was boiling.
At sunset in winter, the villagers gathered here quietly parked and the village chief told them what was going on in the newspaper.
Until the sun was about to set, the village chief finally finished reading the contents of the Great Wei Bulletin, and the villagers also left with loud laughter.
Lin Chuan and Jiang Wei were also preparing to return to the carriage.
At this moment, a child wearing a cotton jacket ran to the village chief who was drinking hot tea, and said in a crisp voice:
"Grandpa the village chief, can you teach me to read, I want to help the grandpa of the village chief read the newspaper in the future!"
This sentence happened to be heard clearly by Lin Chuan, who had just gotten into the carriage.
