Chapter 207: Resistance
Catching up with Xu Mochen's slightly fierce gaze, the Taishou hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up his courage: "Your Majesty, this matter is reported by the ministers."
The rise of Lanzhou was probably before ***, when Xu Mochen had not been on the throne for a few years, and the focus of attention was on the united war of the great cadres in Middle Earth.
Lanzhou belonged to the big cadres at that time, and because it was located in the north, except for Xu Mochen's ranch and horse breeding, there were no additional resources, so it could be said that he was poor and white.
Until *** ago, suddenly the entire land of Lanzhou ushered in a bumper harvest.
"Not only the grain, but also the cattle, sheep, livestock, etc., the number has directly doubled," Tai Shou said, "and this beginning is a series of unfolding."
It didn't take a few years, and everyone had enough food and clothing.
Xu Mochen listened, but he endured it in his heart, it seems that the rise of Lanzhou is the rise, but so many resources have not increased the taxes of the imperial court.
"The minister has reported to the imperial court," Taishou continued, "Your Majesty's decree at that time was that the cadres were busy with the war, and the affairs in Lanzhou should be handled according to the situation."
Xu Mochen sneered in his heart, that is to say, this piece of big fat meat was secretly divided by the courtiers and immortal cultivators.
"So after that, in addition to the taxes paid, the people in Lanzhou became richer and richer," Taishou said with a red face, "and there were other needs."
When you have money, the first thing that comes to mind is your own security.
This era is not modern, there is surveillance everywhere, and state personnel are ready to go out at any time.
In the event of a robbery, the resistance of the people is very poor.
Therefore, Lanzhou began the first phase of infrastructure construction, building a city and setting up an army to ensure the safety of the people in the territory.
This decision was supported by the common people, many of whom even participated in unpaid labor.
In addition, there are many immigrants, and with the concerted efforts, the current scale has been created.
"What Your Majesty sees now is the grand occasion of Lanzhou," Taishou turned to the topic, "After the city was built, in fact, Lanzhou had been in Lanzhou for many years, and there was no more conscription or anything like that."
Xu Mochen understood, everyone is rich, and their lives are not bad, who still works as coolies.
To build a hydropower station, Xu Mochen Xu Mochen said that he had the participation of immortal cultivators to speed up, but the power of the human race was also needed.
But here in Lanzhou, there is resistance.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, which is the biggest problem he is facing at present.
Forcibly mobilizing the people of Lanzhou to participate may provoke a popular uprising.
Xu Mochen thought about it and had an idea: "What if it's the people of other states?"
"Your Majesty," Taishou painstakingly advised, "if Your Majesty insists on building a hydropower station, it is best to first preach among the people so that they can understand the purpose of the construction.
In fact, the minister does not understand the key to this, which involves the diversion of rivers, the migration of people, and so on, and it is necessary to carefully consider the issue of people's livelihood."
There was nothing wrong with the words, but Xu Mochen's face sank.
He understands that just like building a nuclear power plant in the 21st century, even if safety is repeatedly guaranteed, there will always be opposition from the local people.
Unless it is suppressed by force.
Although Xu Mochen is a faint monarch, he understands the key.
Unexpectedly, the richer the place, the more difficult it is to promote large-scale infrastructure reform.
Waving his hand to let Taishou go down, the elites around him expressed their opinions.
"Your Majesty," Shen Zhining said, "the key point is that the people have no awareness of electricity, which leads to their lack of understanding of the role of hydropower stations."
"People always have doubts about the unknown," Gu Jinge agreed, "If we force it, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Zhao Lingbo flipped through the geographical chronicle in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she frowned: "Really according to what Taishou said, the courtiers have carefully looked at the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and in this area of Lanzhou, they can't find a suitable construction site."
In this era, rivers and other freshwater resources were very important, and the cities of Lanzhou were basically built on the basis of the original rivers, fields and grasslands.
If it is changed, it will indeed cause a drastic change in the life of the city.
The problem now is not just that there are no people, but that the construction of hydropower stations will affect the stability of Lanzhou.
Xu Mochen was in trouble.
"Your Majesty," Mu Nanyi, who had been looking at the map, began, "The grass people have an idea.
Originally, His Majesty's plan, which the grass people had also seen, was to cut off several rivers from here, integrate them into reservoirs, and then build power stations.
Nowadays, these rivers have cities in the downstream areas, and from the words of Taishou, the scale should be not small.
In this case, the original plan would not work.
For now, the grass people thought that they could only choose another place to build and reduce the scale."
Xu Mochen understood as soon as he heard it, since he couldn't make a big move, he would build it on a small scale first.
When the hydropower station is built, the role of electricity is played, and after further effects, the people of Lanzhou will be able to accept it.
If you can't go up the steps in one breath, then take it step by step.
"Sir's opinion is very good," Xu Mochen immediately agreed, "Tang Aiqing, the Fang brothers and sisters have already entered Lanzhou for a field trip, and they have brought news."
Tang Derun shook his head: "Wechen has not received the letter, maybe it is because some remote areas in Lanzhou are ...... letters."
Halfway through this sentence, he thought of something, and the whole person was stunned.
Something is wrong, with the prosperity of Lanzhou today, there is no remote area.
Unless the two are trapped in the mountains.
Xu Mochen frowned: "This plan must be carried out, but according to Mr. Mu's wishes, it will be revised and reduced first."
In other words, the programme needs to be reformulated.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Xu Mochen and Tang Derun glanced at each other, and the latter understood.
He turned around and waved his hand, set a ban around him, and then took out a pair of inkstones.
This pen inkstone Xu Mochen has seen, it is Mu Nanyi's thing, and it is a physical object condensed by immortal fate, which is very rare in the world.
Xu Mochen immediately reacted, the matter in Lanzhou was not over, and the objects lurking in the dark were still observing their words and deeds.
If you want to keep the secret, you need special means.
Mu Nanyi's immortal fate is also a big treasure, and it may be able to deal with the other party's prying eyes.
Tang Derun didn't speak, just polished the ink, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote a line on the paper.
Xu Mochen looked at these words and wrote down the question for him: Is it valid?
Tang Derun put pen to paper: 100% dare not guarantee, at present, the plan is going smoothly, and the other party has no interference.
Xu Mochen: There can be objects of suspicion.
Tang Derun: Si Tingxuan has fallen, what are the remaining words......
Xu Mochen looked at the speculation he wrote, and his eyes were deep: Since this is the case, your plan is feasible.
Tang Derun: Your Majesty must be careful, I'm afraid this is still the other party's territory.
Xu Mochen: I understand that there are still some strangers that have not been found, maybe they are the hole cards left by the other party.
On the side of the nine-story pagoda, it may just be smoke.
Si Tingxuan was in this, but it was just a means for the other party to test himself.
This is the wolf lurking in the shadows, staring at himself and others with a faint gaze, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The two ended the conversation, and Tang Derun put away the pen and inkstone.
"Let's start according to the new plan," Xu Mochen decided, "With the follow-up action, the second batch of teams can come in."
According to the original plan, Xu Mochen and the others fought in the front, and the second group was some immortal cultivators around him.
These people are not very strong, but if they help build it, they can greatly reduce the process.
Tang Derun received the will: "This matter is handled by Weichen personally, Your Majesty must rest assured."
Xu Mochen nodded.
Everything was explained clearly, Xu Mochen decided to downsize, but the plan could not be delayed any longer.
The people of Lanzhou can't collect it, so he plans to transfer the surrounding states and counties
of the people participated.
The most important thing at the moment is to determine the location of the new hydropower plant.
After the destruction of the Liuzang Sect, there was a short-term vacancy in the power of the Lanzhou immortal cultivators, which gave Xu Mochen a lot of room for action.
He personally led people to go deep into various parts of Lanzhou to investigate carefully.
Don't mention the prosperity along the way, avoid these existing cities, after Xu Mochen screened, there were three places.
All three of them are located deep in the mountains, which is very different from the original plan.
After repeated discussions, and even referring to the opinions of Ji Junen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, a location was finally chosen.
It's just that here, it's far away from the capital, and the length of the wires that were originally planned to be made is not enough.
Xu Mochen could only adapt to local conditions and first pull the electricity to a nearby city.
The effect is much worse than the original.
