Chapter 574 Hongze Settlement

There is an apron on the top of the building. In the corridor outside the apron, Wei Qiuyue, who received the news, was already waiting.

She was dressed in white professional attire and was waiting alone in the corridor outside the tarmac.

When she saw a white special plane appearing from the southern sky, her eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on her face.

As Wei Qiuyue watched, the white special plane approached the government building and landed slowly on the tarmac.

"grown ups!"

When Li Meng and Chen Nannan walked out of the cabin, Wei Qiuyue hurriedly greeted them.

With his feet on the metal ground, Li Meng looked at Wei Qiuyue who was coming towards him. He smiled faintly and said, "Qiuyue, long time no see."

Instead of calling her Minister Wei, she called her Qiuyue. Such an intimate address made Wei Qiuyue blush slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, long time no see."

Turning slightly sideways, Wei Qiuyue made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them walked along the corridor towards the interior of the government building.

Following Wei Qiuyue, Li Meng entered the government building.

As a government building in a settlement, its scale is naturally not small, with hundreds of people working here.

Under the leadership of Wei Qiuyue, Li Meng and his party entered the district chief's office.

On the sofa, the three of them sat opposite each other. After nodding to Chen Nannan, Wei Qiuyue asked Li Meng curiously: "Why do you suddenly want to come to Hongze settlement?"

With a faint smile, Li Meng said: "Nowadays, the population of Black Flag City is increasing, and the development of agriculture cannot be left behind. I came here to take a look when I have nothing to do. Why, you should get used to it here."

Smiling slightly, Wei Qiuyue said: "Although there are many things to do, there is a group below me, so it is very easy for me to be the district chief. However, I prefer the position of Minister of Agriculture to the district chief. It makes my life better."

It’s very fulfilling, and watching the endless farmland outside changing every day is the best reward for me.”

Wei Qiuyue is not a workaholic, she just likes to watch the crops grow, bloom and bear fruit day by day, and finally welcome the harvest moment.

There is no doubt that Wei Qiuyue likes her current job, which shows that Li Meng's decision was right. It was a very accurate move to hand over these three agricultural settlements to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Speaking of this, Wei Qiuyue said happily like a child: "Sir, did you know that because we can control the temperature, the crops we grow can be harvested at least four times a year? We have done experiments and took wheat.

For example, the fastest maturity cycle is 59 days, which is nearly two months. At least five crops can be harvested in a year. Not to mention other crops with shorter growth cycles. The highest record is nine crops in a year. Hongze settlement was put into use.

In just over four months, a large amount of food of all types has been harvested. If the problem of fertilization can be solved, these three settlements will be enough to provide food for tens of millions of people."

The reason why Li Meng established these three agricultural settlements was to meet the demand for food. Li Meng was naturally happy with such a result.

Li Meng stood up and said, "Take me for a walk outside. This clear and green scenery cannot be seen in Black Flag City."

Quickly standing up, Wei Qiuyue smiled and said: "I knew that you would not be able to resist going to the farm for a stroll. I have already arranged a vehicle."

Smiling slightly, Li Meng said: "You are really thoughtful."

With a slightly red face, Wei Qiuyue said quickly: "Sir, please come this way."

It was still early, so in the following time, Li Meng took Chen Nannan and followed Wei Qiuyue to wander around the Hongze settlement.

In the green fields, a silver sightseeing car was slowly moving forward on the metal road.

The sightseeing car is small, semi-open, and can seat six people. Because it is easy to drive, anyone can get started quickly.

Wei Qiuyue acted as the driver, and the three of them took the sightseeing car and traveled along the road.

"Sir, you see, the sugar cane garden on the right is the raw material for sugar production. Since the demand for sugar is not too big, it is only more than 400 acres. It should be increased to 1,000 acres next year."

The sugarcane plantation of more than 400 acres is neither too big nor too small. However, for the current Heiqi City, the output of 400 acres of sugarcane is definitely not enough.

The sightseeing bus continued forward, and when the dense sugar cane forest was no longer visible on the right, what appeared in Li Meng's eyes was a vineyard.

"This is a black grape. It is considered to be the best tasting grape in the New World. It has a refreshing taste, is rich in water and moist, and is very suitable for making drinks. Now is the time to harvest."

Yes, it was harvest time. When he saw the vineyard, Li Meng also heard a pleasant female voice.

In the vineyards, some women wearing light yellow dresses and uniforms were picking grapes, and while they were working, they could hear light laughter.

Seeing that the adults noticed the pickers in the vineyard, Wei Qiuyue smiled and said: "It was originally possible to mechanize picking, but in order to create more jobs, we adopted a more primitive picking method. Although it is not efficient enough, it is good for Black Flag City."

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Once these women have jobs, they can also reduce the pressure on their husbands' shoulders, which can improve the happiness of the citizens of Black Flag City."

In order to increase jobs and give everyone something to do, Black Flag City also intentionally eliminated mechanization during its rapid development.

Wherever manpower can be used, machinery will never be used. There is only one reason, and that is to create more jobs.

Li Meng didn't want to treat the citizens of Black Flag City like pigs, living a life of food to open their mouths and clothes to stretch out their hands.

"It seems to be District Chief Wei Qiuyue, is it her?"

"I have met Minister Wei Qiuyue, it should be her."

On the road in the vineyard, Wei Qiuyue deliberately slowed down, which allowed the three of them to be discovered by the female vineyard workers.

"Who is the person behind Minister Wei Qiuyue?"

"Why does it look familiar? Wait, isn't that the Governor?"

"No way, why did the Governor come here?"

"It's the Governor. I'm from Qing'an Shelter. I've met him. Is he the Governor?"

Is he really the Governor?

When they learned that the man sitting in Wei Qiuyue was the legendary Governor-General, the female workers in the vineyard were excited.

With curiosity on their faces, they came to the roadside one after another, secretly looking at the sightseeing cars on the road, with only admiration and curiosity in their eyes.

In their understanding, it was the Governor who established Black Flag City and the settlement, which kept them away from the cold and hunger, and away from the threat of alien beasts.

Not only that, the Governor is also an artist, and his paintings and works are so fascinating that we can never get enough of them.

Everyone is full of curiosity about such a legendary man.

How could Li Meng not see such a large group of female workers huddled in a vineyard on the roadside?

Facing the admiring and curious eyes of the pairs, Li Meng smiled slightly and waved to them.

The Governor waved and greeted them?

The response from Li Meng made the female workers blush slightly and look at the man on the sightseeing bus shyly.

It would be fine if only one person or a small number of people had such a reaction, but almost all the female workers had the same reaction, which is enough to show what kind of existence Governor Li Meng is in the eyes of the citizens of Black Flag City.
