The Second People's Alliance Conference lasted until late at night. We ate a few steamed buns for lunch and dinner. People's attention was focused on the venue, and the warm atmosphere was maintained throughout.
After Zhang Yi's speech, he showed the development blueprint he drew and explained the concept of an industrial and commercial center city, which received support from everyone.
The heads of the seven departments took turns taking the stage, summarizing past results and describing next steps, winning rounds of applause. The centerpiece was Zhang Yi's blueprint.
Representatives of the 42 companies also took the stage to speak one by one, saying that all manpower and resources were at the disposal of Zhang Yi and the Seventh Department, and that one family would not speak for two families.
Many village leaders spoke from the bottom of their hearts. Even a rough man like Huang Yue said that he needed to change his mind and be a good person.
This conference achieved a successful outcome, which was even better than Zhang Yi and others expected.
The meeting ended at ten o'clock in the evening, and a sumptuous banquet was indispensable to entertain the participants who had come from afar.
Accommodation was arranged in the castle, and people drank and talked all night long. Zhang Yi drank a lot in the evening, and everyone clinked glasses with him.
Zhang Yi was so happy that he kept laughing, doubting that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The fact was that Anu, who poured wine for him, had mixed water into the wine.
…
From this day on, the common people's alliance truly integrated into one, and exchanges became more and more frequent. Many village owners simply applied to settle in Mopan City, and Zhang Yi approved a piece of land for them, which was very close to the castle, making it convenient for them to meet and discuss matters.
Zhang Yi did ideological work and persuaded the village owners to give out the land they owned to the people, and Mopan City would pay them in the future. The village owners responded one after another.
These people donated their land and were regarded as meritorious people, and the monthly salary they received was not low. However, it was only equivalent to a dozen binoculars.
All kinds of factories planned by Zhang Yi were established and concentrated in the mountains behind Mopan City, forming a park with complete facilities.
Songjiazhai became the second park. A new city was built near the castle, covering an area of 500 acres. A high brick wall was built around it, and a barracks was set up inside the gate. This is a strategic location and must be protected.
Songjiazhai is only 150 miles away from Jiyuan City, which is much closer than Mopan City. Plastic, glass and beverage factories, etc. are located here, which can save a lot of transportation costs.
As before, Zhang Yi, Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Hu Tiejiang and others first determined the production process and produced qualified products, then set up positions and recruited personnel for training.
One problem after another was solved, and one factory after another was put into production.
…
After finishing his work, Zhang Yi returned to Mopan City.
There are many cottage owners outside the alliance who want to see him, so they have time now.
The windows of the General's Mansion have been remodeled and doubled in size so that sunlight can shine in directly, thus losing the gloomy feeling before.
As soon as Zhang Yicai sat down on the wooden chair, Shi Gandang brought a middle-aged man, and a young man followed behind him holding a gift box.
"Brother Yi, this is the owner of Shiyushi Village in Wanchun Village that I mentioned to you. His surname is also Shi and he is a relative of mine." Shi Gandang introduced with a smile.
"Hello, sworn brother!" Master Shizhai put his right hand on his chest and bowed with a smile on his face, "That's right, Shitou Ling is a relative of my family. His father is the son of my third uncle. Shitou Ling is
My cousin, he just hasn’t moved around for many years..."
Good guy, Zhang Yi thought to himself, when Shi Gan was down and out, he didn't even see his nephew who was the village leader taking care of him. Now that he has become successful, he comes to visit him.
However, it seems that Shi Gandang is still quite happy. This brave and invincible young man has always been honest and open-minded, and he doesn't really mind how others treated him in the past.
"Oh, welcome, Master Shizhai," Zhang Yi stood up and shook hands with him warmly, "You are Shi Gandang's cousin, so I have to call you uncle!"
"Don't dare," said the master of Shizhai, flattered, "Shi should have come to visit the hero master earlier, and the name of the sworn brother has already been heard! I just ask for your understanding, Wanchunzhai is in a remote place
, there are evil people blocking the road, Shi wants to come but can’t!"
Without his explanation, Zhang Yi knew that Wanchun Village was in the northeast corner, close to Greater China. Moreover, Zhang Yi also knew that Wanchun Village was a half-cultivated, half-robbery village. It often went out to rob others, and it was considered a half-villain village.
.
There were many enemies, so Shi Yu couldn't go far. It wasn't until the Thirteen Villains were absorbed by Zhang Yi that he could reach Mopan City safely.
Shi Yu arrived just in time. In Zhang Yi's view, the location of Wanchun Village has important strategic value. Like Songjiazhai, it can be developed into a border trade place.
However, he first needs to find out Shi Yu's intention for this trip.
Shi Yu presented the gift box with both hands. Shi Gandang took it and opened it. It was filled with gold and silver jewelry. He was surprised. Shi Yu had spent a lot of money. What did this uncle want to do?
Zhang Yi guessed a bit, smiled and asked Shi Yu to sit down, and the guard brought tea.
"Uncle Shi, I'm very happy that you can come to Mopan City. Why do you give such an expensive gift?" Zhang Yi said politely, "I know that life is difficult for all the cottages nowadays. I accept your kindness.
Please take your things back."
"Oh, you must accept it. Wanchun Village is a small village, so don't think it's too little!" Shi Yu said in a panic. In his opinion, there is no one in the world who doesn't accept gifts. If you don't accept them, it's too little.
"Hey, cousin, let me tell you this," Shi Gandang said with a smile, "It's not that my brother-in-law thinks that the gifts you give are few, it's that my brother-in-law never accepts expensive gifts. Please bring some food and drink.
It’s enough to have a good intention.”
When Shi Yu heard this, he felt relieved that his cousin would not harm him, so he told his true thoughts about this trip.
"Now that all the cottages have been incorporated into Mopan City, there is no shortage of food and meat for Yi Ge. Wanchun Village would like to ask Yi Ge to accept us. As Yi Ge said, life in the cottages is not easy nowadays,"
Shi Yu begged, "Brother Yi, please accept us!"
"How about we wait until next spring to discuss this matter?" Shi Gandang said.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh. The little fat man looked simple and honest, but he was actually very shrewd. Winter was about to begin, and Mopan City's food supply was tight. Absorbing new copycats would undoubtedly increase the burden. This brother can do it, and don't talk privately at critical moments.
Affection.
It's gratifying, but Zhang Yi always puts the overall situation first. When others come to him for help when they encounter difficulties, how can he refuse easily?
At this moment, Shi Yu was sitting on pins and needles, sweating on his forehead. He regretted that he had been taking a wait-and-see attitude. It would have been better if he had joined the People's Alliance earlier. He knew that Song Jiazhai was the first to support Zhang Yi, and now in
It is also the best developed among the cottages.
Just when everyone thought Zhang Yi would refuse, they heard him laugh loudly.
"Okay, the People's Alliance welcomes you to join. Wanchun Village is the 32nd village. From now on, you will enjoy the same treatment as other cottages!"
Shi Yu was so surprised that she stood up and knelt down to Zhang Yi.
