Chapter 635: Five-Year Plan
Liu Renli felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained:
"Although I think the workshops and greenhouses in Beishan are very reasonable, so I built workshops and greenhouses exactly according to my previous memory."
Zhou Heng suddenly realized that when he saw Zhu Yunmo holding a telescope, he hurried over and took a closer look.
"If there is space on the flat ground, you can build a greenhouse on the flat ground, which will make it better to keep warm. Of course, if you have a problem with the land, or if you want to manage it well, it is easiest to be on the mountainside. After all, it is clear at a glance that you can measure the size here and ask Manager Zhou to customize some glazed plates."
Liu Renli nodded, took out his small notebook and quickly wrote something. Zhou Heng took a look and did not ask. After all, Liu Renli was too busy all day and it was not easy to miss the record in time.
"The land below is from the local gentry, not without anyone to requisition the mountain, so the hillside can only be flattened and then started construction."
Zhou Heng looked carefully. Not to mention the location, it was really clear at a glance. Sure enough, seeing the fertile fields below, it seemed that Liu Renli had carefully studied it. As for the squire below, it was naturally not easy to talk to.
"It's okay, it's built here, but you can choose the only way from the dock to Tongzhou City, or build various workshops on both sides of the road from Tongzhou to Beijing City. In the future, transportation will definitely be the key. It doesn't matter if it's time-saving, even saline-alkali land, you won't plant crops anyway."
Liu Renli's eyes widened and chatted with Zhou Hengyi. All the troublesome problems were solved, and the things in his heart were immediately opened up.
"Okay, there is no hurry to do this. I have to think about it and choose the site first. There are many mudflats around the saline-alkali land. I searched for the construction of the road before the construction of the road, but the funds were made..."
Zhou Heng smiled, looked at Liu Renli and shook his head.
"Don't worry, since I have said cooperation, I can't see you being stretched. I will help you with this early stage, but you have to think about it, building roads is no trivial.
The silver you need on these two roads is often more than 100,000 taels. If you want to build it to Tianjin Port, more than 200,000 taels are not enough. Where can I pay this money? It is impossible to find the Ministry of Revenue if you want. Don’t worry about Your Majesty’s treasury. If you open this opening, do you have to ask for money?”
Liu Renli sighed and looked at Zhou Heng spreading his hands.
"To be honest, what I worry most now is money. If you want to do things, you need money everywhere. Not only is the road construction, but also some canals need to be built, as well as workshops, greenhouses, school buildings, and all these require money everywhere.
I also know that if these memorials are submitted, they may only be words of encouragement. The real silver for support will definitely not be obtained, but such a big gap really makes me worry!"
Zhou Heng smiled and approached Liu Renli.
"When Qingping County was disaster relief, Brother Liu conducted an experiment for Dr. Qu. A chopstick was easily broken in his hand, but a chopstick could not be broken. In fact, the same is true for doing things.
For example, when building roads, people can do crowdfunding. It is said that planting sycamore trees brings golden phoenixes. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Convenient transportation is the basis of everything.
Our improved new carriage came from the capital for less than three hours. It took ordinary carriage four or five hours before. In fact, this section is not far, but it is very difficult to walk. There is a deepest pit that has lost its knees.
If the carriage is not paid attention to, it will really fall into it, and it will be repaired and broken every year. If you want to rebuild it, you will give up the direction of the original official road and take a straight line. The road runs through the four counties of Tongzhou, so that the economy can be driven to a greater extent."
Liu Renli was so excited by Zhou Heng's words that he could get money and had tricks to pay money. This is indeed a skill. Especially when it comes to this, if all four counties are connected, it seems that it is not that difficult to make these gentry pay money.
"Just use the name of road construction?"
Zhou Heng nodded, stood up and walked back and forth twice, thinking about the current work of the yamen. He kept knocking on his palm and looking at Zhu Yunmo before saying:
"Tongzhou must implement the rules of Tongzhou. If you want to open a workshop and restaurant shop, go to the yamen to apply for a license. There is a special person to check whether you are qualified here, especially fire prevention and personnel registration management. Shops that have already opened must also re-apply for such a license, which is called an industrial and commercial license.
Set a time. If the processing is not done on time, all the goods in the shop will be confiscated and the store will be sealed for one year.
As for those who contribute a lot to supporting road construction, policies can be tilted, and newly occupied land on the roadside can have priority bidding rights. In this way, everyone will compete for this title, otherwise they will not be able to make it in Tongzhou."
Liu Renli listened and recorded, writing very fast. In fact, Zhou Heng did not have any specific details. He just expressed what he had seen and heard in words that Liu Renli could understand. How much help would depend on luck.
This thing was built in ancient times, and it was not possible to build a toll station in the expressways in later generations. The Daliang Kingdom strictly prohibited this, so developing the economy along the road is the best way. As for the land collected for road construction, there is no compensation involved.
As for the post station, it is also under the management of the Ministry of Personnel. Although the local prefectures can dispatch personnel, the management is still very strict. To put it bluntly, it is a thankless place, so it is naturally impossible to build roads by yourself.
As for the labor of road construction, corvee service can be collected and distributed during the slack farming period. As long as the benefits of road construction are promoted in place, the project progress and enthusiasm are still very easy to control.
"The only thing you have to worry about now is the material of the road surface. If you still only consolidate the roadbed, the road will be broken in less than two years after it is built. Especially if you want to transport goods, connecting Tongzhou Wharf, Tianjin and Beijing, the strength of the road surface must be durable."
Liu Renli looked worried on his face. He looked up at Zhou Heng. After all, he didn't know much about these things and was about to say that Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao got off the upstairs.
The two of them were holding three hats in their hands. Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and became interested, because the two hats in Xiu'er's hands were very beautiful, while Su Xiaoxiao hid the hats behind her.
“It’s done?”
Xiu'er smiled and nodded, handed it to Zhou Heng, and then to Liu Renli.
"Put it on quickly, it's the right size."
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao hesitating behind her, she grabbed her and pushed her directly in front of Zhu Yunmo.
"What are you hesitating? You are doing very well. Let me try it out for the prince. Today we tried to make three tops. Don't choose the good or bad, let alone dislike anyone. If anyone doesn't wear it, hum!"
Although I didn't finish it at the end, the threatening attitude was already very obvious.
Liu Renli wore it happily, not to mention the size and style, but also the gauze hat was very cool after all, so she ran to the yard and stood in the sun and tried it.
"My girl's craftsmanship is really good, beautiful and comfortable!"
Zhu Yunmo hummed twice, and no need Su Xiaoxiao to give it, so he reached out and pulled it over. Although the stitches were a bit rough, there was no problem with his appearance. He learned to wear it with Zhou Heng.
"good!"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly turned black, "What does it mean if you don't wear it for me? This is my first needlework. If I didn't give it to my father, you will still dislike it if you give it to you, bring it to me!"
As he said that, he was about to come up and grab it. Zhu Yunmo was startled, reached out to cover his hat, turned around and hid behind Zhou Heng, and started yelling without fear of death.
"Why, you woman, why did you go back on your word? You still want to go back the things you gave me, so don't give me!"
Su Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger, and Xiu'er grabbed her wrist.
"Don't pay attention to him. It's our intention to give it to me. By the way, I just heard from my brother about road construction. Beishan still has relatively mature technology in this regard, and there are also teams of construction workers. I can bring them here to teach you.
I have seen it not difficult. It just uses gravel of equal size to pounce on the ground, compact it with iron rollers, and spray a layer of asphalt on it. Beishan is also constructed in winter. The road surface is crushed by big trucks every day, and it does not break."
Liu Renli had never seen her before, but after hearing Xiu'er said this, she quickly looked at Zhou Heng.
"If you have this thing, take it for me to use it!"
Zhou Heng sighed. Xiu'er was really taking care of her brother and expounding her own methods. In this way, Zhou Heng couldn't hide it anymore.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to make a few more sets. As long as there is enough staff, you don't have to start from one side. If the road is planned, you can start construction on both sides at the same time. According to your situation, six construction sites are constructed at the same time, so the speed will be several times faster."
Liu Renli thought for a while and calculated by her fingers.
"The harvest can be obtained here on August 15th, and the cleaning can be done in three days. In this way, 50% of people can be idle on August 18th, and as for drying and other work, the elderly, weak, women and children can do it.
If the weather is beautiful, it will not snow before October 15th, and at least two months can you quickly start road construction."
Zhou Heng waved his hand, "Actually, everything else is not delayed. As long as the foundation is built in the past two months, we can make a shed with rollers, clean it up in advance where to go, compact and spray asphalt, and carry out the same time.
In this way, we can make the most of our time and do not delay anything. As for the corvee personnel, we can also give subsidies. If Tongzhou is not enough, we can hire some outsiders. After all, this time is considered a slack farm. If we can make some money before the New Year, who would not want to?
Of course, here we need to be carried out in groups, and the daily plan is completed, and the quality is qualified and the excess can be added. In this way, with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, all three roads will be available next spring."
Liu Renli felt relieved immediately, and he was really confident after saying this.
"Although it's a bit complicated, as long as it is arranged, there is no conflict between these. Now I am the only one behind the government office, so there is no need for such a large space. I think the school is there.
It is divided into two categories. Those under the age of twelve can learn literacy and learn mathematics. As for those over the age of twelve, they can learn some skills, such as pig farming courses, feed processing courses, and medical knowledge.
The most important thing is the accounting and statistics courses. Anyway, you can filter out what you can use, so that every shopkeeper will like to hire such people.
It doesn’t take long time to study. It’s three months and one semester. The fees can be taught, and the costs of books and meals are enough. Children from poor families can also go there. This way, the income from accounting is higher than that of ordinary people.”
Zhou Heng nodded. It seemed that Liu Renli had thought carefully. This is equivalent to technical school training in later generations and short-term targeted training. Such people's income is definitely higher than that of ordinary laborers.
"I thought it was very good. In this way, the children were admitted to school, and both men and women at home could have time to do other things, men would go to build roads or transport them.
Women and the elderly at home can raise pigs. Not only can they not mention the slack farming in the winter, but they can also earn a considerable income, and children can learn something. This is definitely a profit!”
Liu Renli nodded vigorously, "Since you are here, you can go around with me. By the way, why don't your Huichun Hall come to have a semicolon? In this way, people in Tongzhou don't have to go to the capital to treat their health. I heard that the number in the top twenty of your Huichun Hall is worth one or two silver dollars, which is really dark!"
Zhou Heng was stunned, and Liu Xiu'er also had a look of surprise. After all, she had been in Huichuntang for longer than Zhou Heng. This was the first time she heard of such a thing:
"One or two silver for a number? Why don't I know about this?"
Zhou Heng patted Xiu'er, but this is actually very easy to understand, because Huichun Hall is crowded every day, and sometimes it is normal to not be able to queue up for two days. After all, it is still a bit difficult to open a semicolon in the capital, and the cost of every inch of land is too high.
However, Liu Renli's proposal is good. After all, the doctor's training is always underway, and the personnel follow-up are not worried. The earliest group of people have been sent to Fuzhou, and the semicolons in Achang are also doing really well. It's okay to have a family in Tongzhou.
"This is impossible to avoid. Let's go and go around with Brother Liu. We also choose a shop. Just open a semicolon here, and ordinary diseases can be treated directly. Large-scale surgery can be performed about two days a month. Beijing sends people to treat it, so that we can also control the treatment here."
Xiu'er thought it was feasible, especially Zhou Heng said that the consultation was once every half month, which is indeed possible. In fact, Beishan is also a semicolon, and there are many people who ask questions every day.
Xiu'er looked at Zhou Heng with a look of hope on her face.
"How about I come to Tongzhou to open a semicolon? I have contact with every subject, so I can't compare to Desheng's ability, but I think I can still be competent for opening a semicolon."
Zhou Heng was stunned. Before she could stop her, Liu Renli jumped out and waved his hands and head quickly, looking frightened.
"No, although Tongzhou's territory is not far from the capital and the state capital is prosperous, there are mixed here, especially with the circulation of goods, merchants from all over the country, and the ingredients are very complicated. Even if I manage it so carefully, there are often incidents of robbing property and insulting women.
Chapter completed!
