Zhang Yi and others returned with a full load. Xiaolong and Song Laohei led the village leaders ten miles out of the city to meet them. The two sides met in the wilderness, and cheers resounded through the sky.
Zhang Yi has been away from Mopan City for more than 20 days this time, and he has already become attached to this land. This is a civilized place that he has cultivated with his hard work.
After hearing the news, the people ran down the mountain to greet him, shouting Zhang Yi's name. Surrounded by men, women and children, Zhang Yi walked all the way up the mountain. He saw that the mountain road had been widened and many brick and tile houses had been built.
. Compared with when he left, things have changed a lot.
But no, there are two thousand people in the construction team alone. They are all strong men who used to rely on brute force. Now they use their strength in construction and have achieved amazing results.
Compared with Jiyuan City, which is developing slowly, Mopan City can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and the ideals of a new civilization have become reality at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Poverty? Barbarism? Backwardness?
If possible, the domineering and arrogant General Wang Zheng should be allowed to see if a "savage" could do such a thing?
There are no bad people in the world, only bad leaders. Those who pursue a retro policy are destined to miss civilization.
…
Gold is put into storage.
As food and welfare were distributed, people throughout the Mopan City area benefited, and every household was as happy as the Chinese New Year.
After dealing with these matters, it was already evening. Zhang Yi had no time to rest, so he came to the General's Mansion and listened to the reports of the heads of various departments under the light of candlelight.
He learned in detail how much wasteland had been reclaimed, how many schools had been opened, how many new livestock had been added, how well the factories were operating, how many cases had been handled, etc.
Zhang Yi has a very strong memory. He remembers all the previous figures in his mind and knows how much they have increased by comparing them.
The result is satisfactory. Everyone is working hard and the situation is much better than Zhang Yi expected.
Finally, Song Laohei told about his inspections of 16 cottages, almost visiting each one a day, walking around non-stop.
From his understanding, most of the village owners were indeed desperate. The village owners agreed with Zhang Yi's path of peaceful development and were willing to accept the leadership of Mopan City.
There are only four cottages with problems, namely Shankou Village, Heitu Village, Leopard Village and Tanlang Village. The four village owners have different opinions. They falsely report the number of people and want to receive more money and food. Song Laohei believes that these four cottages are typical wallflowers.
, follow whoever offers more benefits.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Song," Zhang Yi said tolerantly. "The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, but these four families are not the same. We just need to understand the situation, stabilize them temporarily, and give them time to change.
It really can’t be solved completely.”
Song Laohei and others kept nodding. Development was still the most important thing at the moment. It was not appropriate to rush into force just because the four copycats made some panic remarks.
Next, Zhang Yi talked about his trip. Not only did he confirm the business development plan for the western region, but he also reached an agreement with Jiyuan General Wang Zheng. There was also an unexpected surprise, which was that a large amount of gold was seized after eradicating the Hong Gang, which attracted a lot of attention.
Warm cheers.
Everyone was extremely happy, and they couldn't help but sigh that good things happened to the sworn brother. It must be God protecting him, and everything went smoothly.
Everyone was chatting and joking happily. They really didn't have to worry about sales in the future, but now they were worried about how to improve production capacity.
"My sworn brother has been busy for many days. It's time to take a good rest for a few days. I see you have lost a lot of weight." Anu said distressedly.
"Yes, people have also turned black." Yue Ya'er looked at Zhang Yi carefully and said.
Only girls can say this.
Zhang Yi was embarrassed to say that he drank with people every day. It was either General Wang or Wang Kang, as well as the presidents of the six major business gangs in Jiyuan City. They all needed to enhance understanding and strengthen cooperation. He couldn't eat when he drank, and a lot of delicious food was wasted.
Speaking of turning dark, that was because he walked in the market every day. He chatted with various people in the market, hoping to meet a few more big customers like Asr.
Not to mention, I actually met several big southern merchants from Little China, and established a long-term cooperative relationship with each other. This was of great help in opening up trade routes in the south. Businessmen often have contacts with politicians.
"Our road will only get wider and wider, everyone," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "we must work together to open up the trade routes to the east and the south as soon as possible. This is not just a commercial issue. We can expand our business through doing business.
Make friends and find opportunities to talk to the leaders of the three countries."
Ultimately, this is a political issue.
Zhang Yi's goal is to peacefully unify China and create a new civilization. Engaging in industry and commerce is only a bridge to achieve his goal. While driving the prosperity and development of the Mopan City area, his vision is further enlarged, covering the entire China.
"In that case, we will recruit more workers, Brother Yi." Tiejiang Hu said with confidence, "Many people are lining up waiting to enter the factory, but if Brother Yi doesn't say anything about expanding the scale, who would dare to add people randomly."
"Just go ahead and recruit the right people into the factory," Zhang Yi encouraged. "However, we must also be thoughtful. After all, reclaiming wasteland, building houses, mining, and road construction also require a lot of manpower."
"In order to prevent everyone from running to the factory, we can develop unified treatment," Xiaolong suggested. "It is best to develop in an all-round way and make steady progress."
"This is the best thing," Anu said. "Give more opportunities in the factory to women, so that men can do more hard work."
Everyone laughed, yes, that's the arrangement.
Xiaolong said that at present, the manpower is still sufficient. Mopan City has 48 cottages and 11 common people's homes, with a total population of more than 60,000, and more than half of the population is between the ages of 16 and 50. If the personnel are properly deployed, there will be enough people.
full.
"National Mobilization!"
Now Zhang Yi has the confidence to say this. The gold reserves in the vault and the steady stream of business orders are enough to support him in making even bigger undertakings.
"Mobilize everyone and give everyone a chance to display their talents."
"As Xiaolong said, we must develop in an all-round way and make steady progress. While developing industry and commerce, we must also engage in construction to meet people's cultural and entertainment needs."
"We need to formulate a complete development plan, link all aspects of the development plan, and do enough work on paper so that we won't have the problem of digging in the east to make up for the west."
Zhang Yi made a series of arrangements.
After several days of discussion, everyone re-planned the affairs of various departments and made a reasonable arrangement of all manpower. This was a period of vigorous development, and everyone was full of passion and tireless.
