Chapter 2423

The reason why Liu Shanxia agreed to help was mainly because he undertook the large-scale project of the office building of Yu's Shipping Company. This was not a small business for his construction company. This time, he could take advantage of his business trip to Miaoli.

Opportunity returned a favor to the Yus and his wife. But Lu Zhanpeng's situation was completely different. The reason why Liang Liping was interested in Miaoli in the first place was because he followed his suggestions.

As a professional, Lu Zhanpeng is very optimistic about the future development prospects of Miaoli's petrochemical industry. If the shipping company of Yu and his wife really wants to establish a fixed route between Sanya and Miaoli, he even plans to invest money to invest in the operation of this route.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason that is difficult to disclose, which is that Lu Zhanpeng has the power to decide the transportation method of Miaoli petrochemical products. When the conditions are ripe, he can directly assign the transportation business of the local oil production area to

This way, the Yu and his wife's shipping company can protect themselves at worst, so that the shipping company will not suffer losses during the operation of this route.

Of course, this kind of petty calculation cannot be disclosed to outsiders. In front of Tao Donglai, Lu Zhanpeng could only claim that he was doing a favor for a friend, but he would not take the initiative to mention why the shipping company fell in love with such an obscure person like Miaoli.

A place where mountains are covered with water.

It is not difficult for Lu Zhanpeng to hide these tricks from the relatively slow Wang Hui, but they are not enough in front of Tao Donglai. Tao Donglai was the big boss before time travel, and he knew a lot about various tricks in the mall, so he naturally understood "

"If you don't have any profit, you won't be able to do it early". Thinking that Yu Feng, Liang Liping and his wife are not mediocre people. When they start a shipping company, they will definitely give priority to various well-known trading ports as their destinations. Why would the unknown Miaoli be listed as the first choice and the only destination?

The explanation is that someone who is familiar with the situation in Miaoli and has the ability to influence Miaoli's transportation arrangements suggested that they do this.

Of course, Tao Donglai would not expose these little tricks of Lu Zhanpeng in person. For him, it does not matter which shipping company Miaoli's transportation share will be handed over in the future. The shipping company run by the time traveler himself will probably be better than outsiders.

To be more reliable, at least the operators understand the significance of petrochemical products to Haihan and will pay more attention to the transportation safety issues on this route. This will also help change Miaoli's current lack of fixed cargo ship schedules.

Miaoli has never had a private ship company set up a fixed ship schedule. The main reason is because the private ship companies think this place is unprofitable and are unwilling to engage in loss-making business. Therefore, they have always relied on Haihan's official ships to provide non-stop transportation arrangements.

Nowadays, private commercial organizations are willing to come forward to take over the shipping business here. The efficiency will definitely exceed that of official ships with limited transportation capacity, which will help local development. From Tao Donglai's point of view, he is actually happy to see this happen.

Tao Donglai said solemnly: "Based on our past experience, the demand for shipping in overseas colonies is closely related to the level of development. In Miaoli, if we only rely on the petrochemical industry, the upper limit of production capacity is there. It can be said that it is difficult to allow shipping

There has been a relatively large increase in demand. I think the question you raised will ultimately depend on the direction of development after a large number of immigrants move into the local area."

"If we only carry out traditional agricultural construction based on farming and growing grain, it will be difficult to create a relatively large demand for material circulation. I just mentioned planting cash crops and deep processing of agricultural and sideline products, the purpose is to improve the commercial value of local output.

Value. Only with value can there be circulation, and circulation can drive trade, thus creating a demand for shipping. As the next Miaoli magistrate, you can make more efforts in this direction and think about how to create more

values ​​and needs.”

Tao Donglai expressed his views very carefully. He was optimistic about Miaoli's future development prospects, but whether the current plans can be realized still depends on the ability of local officials and the tacit understanding of cooperation with various departments. No matter how good it is,

If the plan cannot be implemented, it will be just talk on paper after all.

Lu Zhanpeng said: "I really don't know much about agricultural development. This time the Ministry of Agriculture only sent a few technicians, who were said to be apprentices led by Minister Yuan, but I don't know if these people can hold up a business."

Tao Donglai responded: "The people under Lao Yuan are all precious. It is rare to be able to send a few people to you at one time. When the time comes, you will hand over the agricultural development work to them.

If you have any requests, just try to satisfy them.”

At that time, Tao Donglai made great efforts to invite agricultural expert Yuan Ruoxiu and his family to participate in the crossing operation. Yuan Qiuye, who is now in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, is Yuan Ruoxiu's eldest son. He is also responsible for all agricultural development matters in overseas colonies.

The Ministry of Agriculture's development plan for the Miaoli area refers to the agricultural characteristics of the area in the past to a certain extent. On the basis of ensuring the planting area of ​​food crops, it promotes the planting of a variety of cash crops, supplemented by fisheries, forest species, and animal husbandry.

industry and other industries. If these tasks are not presided over by professionals, it is almost impossible to implement them quickly. Therefore, although the scale of agricultural development in Miaoli may be far smaller than that of other overseas colonies, the Ministry of Agriculture has sent a technical team to provide agricultural services.

Technical support. In addition, they arrived in Miaoli this time with thousands of farm tools and a large amount of crop seeds, which are enough to meet the recent farming needs here. If they move quickly, they can catch up with the end of this year's spring plowing.

The three of them sat under the tea tent for about an hour. Lu Zhanpeng drank hot tea and ate something. He finally felt relieved and his face was not as pale as when he first got off the boat. But then he headed to the oil production area for several dozen miles.

For the distance, they had to take a transport boat.

"Can we change the mode of transportation? For example, take a carriage?" Lu Zhanpeng felt uncomfortable when he saw the boat at this time. He really didn't want to take a boat again at this time, otherwise he would probably vomit out the little thing that had just entered his stomach.

Wang Hui responded with some embarrassment: "The road from here to the oil production area has been in disrepair for a long time. The road is full of potholes and bumpy. On the contrary, it is more stable to take a boat. The water in Houlong River is gentle here, unlike the wind and waves on the sea. The boat

It won’t go up or down.”

"Let me make a suggestion." Tao Donglai said: "Let's take a land route to see the construction of nearby immigrant settlements, and then turn to the waterway and take a boat to the oil production area."

It was not Tao Donglai who mentioned it on his own initiative, but the other two people seemed to have forgotten about the ongoing local resettlement project. Lu Zhanpeng immediately agreed, and Wang Hui of course had to respect their wishes, so he asked someone to prepare the carriage.

The resettlement site for the immigrants who recently arrived in Miaoli is about five or six miles away from the seaside pier. It is still in the lower reaches of Houlong River. It only takes a tea time to get there by horse-drawn carriage. However, the road is indeed as Wang Hui said.

The bus was as shabby and bumpy, and Lu Zhanpeng was only halfway through the ride before he regretted his request to go to the oil production area by car. Fortunately, the resettlement point was not too far away, otherwise Lu Zhanpeng would have had to shamelessly ask for a change of transportation method.

After the three people got off the car, they didn't see any bustling labor scene. The temporary residence here had been set up before they arrived. Although it was just some shacks and emergency tents provided by the government, it was still very suitable for those who had just arrived.

For the immigrants, they finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

However, no one was seen at the resettlement site at this time. There were only a few old and young people standing on the roadside, curiously looking at these nobles who were guarded by armed personnel. The civil affairs officer responsible for managing the place quickly rushed over and asked the three

A senior official reported on the situation at this resettlement site.

According to the pre-planning, the first batch of more than 500 immigrants were taken to settlements in five different places for resettlement. This settlement accepted more than 100 immigrants among them. However, at this time, all the young people in the settlement were

Taking away the nearby mountain forests, they need to cut down more trees to continue to build houses and improve the current living conditions.

At present, all immigrants' rations and other daily necessities are provided by the government. They only need to work according to the official arrangements, and they can obtain basic survival guarantees with their labor points. If someone wants to live a lazy life here, or disobeys

If he arranges to disrupt order, what awaits him will be a punishment of hard labor starting from fifteen days.

The labor points grade system has been running in Haihan for more than ten years. This system has a very significant effect in managing new immigrants. All the benefits they can receive, including food, housing and daily supplies, are all based on their own personal labor.

Points are directly linked to grade. Especially housing and land, which immigrants are most concerned about, must accumulate a certain number of labor points before they can be qualified to participate in the distribution. Therefore, under such a system, in order to get a stable job as soon as possible

To make a living, the vast majority of people will honestly obey official arrangements and participate in labor.

Wang Hui said that a brick and tile kiln has been built nearby and will be put into operation soon. Clay excavated from the Houlong River wetland will be used to bake bricks, tiles, cooking utensils and tableware. In addition, a carpentry workshop has been put into operation to process

The wood is used to build houses or make furniture. The output of these workshops is exclusively for local immigrant settlements. It is only a matter of time before these temporary settlements are upgraded into real villages.

When leaving this settlement, the sharp-eyed Tao Donglai noticed that there was a large area on the other side of Houlong River that seemed to have traces of construction work that had leveled the foundation, so he asked Wang Hui about it.

Wang Hui explained: "That was the site for the petrochemical processing plant selected in the early years. However, due to limited local production capacity, the Ministry of Industry deemed it unnecessary to build a special processing plant, so it was called upon to just clear out the area.

Stopped. But this time the Ministry of Industry wants to upgrade local petrochemical product production capacity, so this place will probably need to be reactivated, right?"

Wang Hui looked at Lu Zhanpeng as he spoke. If the Ministry of Industry has this plan, then Lu Zhanpeng should have the relevant information. After all, building a chemical plant is not a small project that can be completed in ten and a half months, from construction to production.

The time may even be calculated in years. If we want the production capacity of petrochemical products to be significantly improved in one or two years, we should start considering eliminating existing processing equipment and building chemical plants with stronger processing capabilities now.

The chemical plant was not located in the oil production area in the upper reaches of Houlong River. The main reason was that a large number of people would immigrate here in the future. If a factory was set up in the upper reaches, the water quality of the entire Houlong River basin would be seriously polluted.

If it is built downstream and the sewage is discharged directly into the sea along the stream, there will be no such scruples. Moreover, if it is built on the opposite bank of Houlong River, it can avoid affecting the lives of local people to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, Lu Zhanpeng did not deny Wang Hui's speculation, and nodded in response: "The Ministry of Industry has this plan, and Minister Liu of the Ministry of Construction is also in Miaoli. We can also ask him to help guide the early construction."

Wang Hui responded: "Minister Liu should be at the road construction site at this time, but I don't know exactly where he is. I can only wait until he returns to his station in the oil production area in the afternoon to meet again."

At this time, Liu Shanxia did not know that Tao Donglai and Lu Zhanpeng had arrived in Miaoli. He was surveying the terrain on the bank of a stream in the upper reaches of Houlong River. Next to him was a wooden bridge built by Haihan after he took control of the area, with a span of about

About thirty to forty meters, but after the erosion of streams in the rainy season in the past few years, the part where the wooden bridge connects with the stone piers under the bridge has begun to weather, and the bearing capacity is not very ideal. Therefore, on this newly planned road,

A more stable bridge with greater traffic capacity will be built.

Taking into account the service life and future maintenance requirements, the new bridge will definitely no longer use wood as the main building material. After Liu Shanxia conducted an on-site survey of the construction environment here, he believed that building a reinforced concrete bridge would be more in line with local land transportation needs.

A cement bridge with a span of tens of meters was definitely not a big project in the old time and space, but in this time and space, it takes time to carefully design and formulate a construction plan, and then confirm which building materials need to be shipped from other places, and order them as early as possible to avoid delays.

Construction period.

Even if Liu Shanxia is an expert, he still has to follow the process step by step. Fortunately, he has a few capable subordinates following him, so he doesn't have to climb up and down to measure the data himself.

While recording the measurement data, Liu Shanxia was calculating the scale of the new bridge in his mind. Judging from the measurement data, Liu Shanxia was a little worried that his schedule would be affected by this project, because no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like two buildings.

It looks like the work can be completed in three months.

"If I stay here for a year and a half, I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble!" Liu Shanxia muttered to himself, feeling a little annoyed that he had misjudged the amount of work on this land passage earlier. If he wanted to leave here earlier,

Then he can only come up with a plan to start construction as soon as possible, and then teach the construction plan in detail to his several foreman apprentices, and strive to complete the bridge as quickly as possible. As for the road construction part, as long as the construction plan is finalized, he

His subordinates can take charge, so there is no need for him to keep an eye on it here.
Chapter completed!
