After the construction began, Kang Fan was preparing to inspect various construction sites in turn. This was the most critical year for the development of Ningwu Mansion, and everyone had to do their best. Therefore, the time for this trip was absolutely not short.

Kang Fan drew 12 original Blue Demon team members from the Cavalry Regiment as his guards, and the rest of the original Blue Demon team members will stay to be responsible for the county's defense, public security, formation of internal security forces, training and management of garrisons and intelligence work. Mei Xiang also took this opportunity to draw capable personnel from the county hospital to form a medical service team, preparing to follow Kang Fan to various construction sites for voluntary inspections. The county hospitals are now very sufficient, and they are no longer as stretched as before when doing their work.

Kang Fan and the Guard both rode horses and only brought 3 new carriages loaded with logistics supplies. However, the number of carriages in the medical service team was larger, with 5 horses and 2 horses more. Most of the carriages loaded with medical equipment and medicines, and the rest were used to carry people and load logistics supplies. The team was in a storm. Wherever Kang Fan and his team went, Mei Xiang and his team went.

In this way, Mei Xiang's special carriage became what Kang Fan yearned for the most, because there were always delicious food on the car, fragrant hot tea, clean and comfortable sleeping and the warm and fragrant Mei Xiang were waiting for him.

Wallace Chung and his students, He brothers, Donovan, Yu Hao and others are also busy working their own work. Donovan is the busiest, and he has to be responsible for all the industrial projects planned to be built in Ningwufu, including the construction of railways, telegraphs, telephone lines and other related supporting projects that he entrusted to several American companies to jointly build by him. He is also a contact between the students and various European and American contractors, engineering guidance, translator, surgeon and even continue to act as priests. He drove his carriage almost all over the jurisdiction of Ningwufu and north and south of the province. His brown beards are old and old.

Kang Fan did not recognize him at all when he saw him in a sulfur mine under construction near Pianguan County. Because there are too many foreigners like him in Ningwu Mansion with blue eyes, blonde hair and yellow beards. Donovan used to modify his beard into a very neat herringbone shape with distinctive characteristics, but now he has grown into this overflowing appearance, which shows how busy he is.

This time, the industrial engineering construction is carried out in a unified and coordinated manner. Because each project has strict scale restrictions, the construction time is set between 6 and 10 months, which means that all construction and production will be completed before the Chinese New Year this year. First of all, the bidding of the project alone is enough for Donovan to have a pot of money with the students. The subsequent site selection, surveying and mapping, determination of plans, feasibility demonstration, technical services, engineering operations, equipment installation, logistics supply, personnel management, fund settlement and other tasks are even more arduous.

Fortunately, the project preparations have been in progress for two years, and the participation of Wallace Chung, He brothers and students, especially these energetic students, have exerted amazing wisdom and enthusiasm, and have shared a great workload for Donovan.

"But you, the priest who is in his prime, into an immortal Santa Claus." Kang Fan smiled.

Donovan gasped excitedly and smiled, "This is called work, and work should be like this!"

Kang Fan shook hands with him solemnly and took him to Meixiang's carriage to drink tea. Donovan knew that Meixiang liked to clean, so he didn't forget to carefully slap the dust off his body before getting on the carriage and took off the long horse boots. When Kang Fan was preparing hot tea for him, Donovan fell asleep in the carriage. Kang Fan couldn't bear to wake him up, so he drank it with the guards. Several guards who didn't drink tea went to the distant mountains and forests to cook some wild game, and the roasted oil was simmering, and the aroma was everywhere. Donovan smelled it, jumped out of the carriage, and pulled a piece of roasted meat and chewed it.

Kang Fan handed him a cup of steaming black tea with sugar and milk. Donovan didn't even bother to say anything, took it and kept sucking it, and the oil from barbecue flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"The priest must pay attention to his image!" Kang Fan smiled.

Donovan glared at Kang Fan, swallowed his mouthful of meat and said, "I don't have time to argue with you. I have to go to a limestone mine in the afternoon. You can do whatever you should do, don't bother me here!"

Kang Fan was bored, scratched his head, sat back to his original place and had tea.

After eating and drinking, Donovan patted Kang Fan on the shoulder from behind, "Sir Kang, the black tea you made is very delicious, much better than my Spanish wife."

Kang Fan smiled, but didn't look back. After a while, Donovan's unique urging sound came from behind him.

Mei Xiang and her medical team are already dealing with the sick Chinese and foreign labor personnel. The antibiotics and Chinese and Western medicines make these people feel novel, and the thoughtful service and superb professional skills of these men and women in white clothes and white hats impressed them even more.

According to statistics from Zhong Hanqiang, there were 1,000 foreigners who came to Ningwu Prefecture to work this time, and together with the local and foreign workers employed, there were no less than 30,000 people directly involved in the construction of the project, which means that it is equivalent to one-tenth of the total population of Ningwu Prefecture.

In addition to the massive daily life needs, this group has high expectations for medical treatment. The voluntary inspection tour organized by Meixiang greatly increased the popularity of county hospitals, and also promoted the novel and efficient drugs produced in Ningwufu. The golden period for the development and growth of pharmaceutical factories has arrived, and those special antibiotics that are more precious than gold will soon bring huge profits to Ningwufu!

Furthermore, after the new industrial development plan is completed, some advanced medical devices will be produced one after another. The addition of the two will make contemporary people lucky to enjoy the medical technology in more than a hundred years! And with the completion of a complete industrial system, Kang Fan's dream of owning various metal and non-metallic materials, chemical products, machinery, electrical, optical and other equipment and equipment as soon as possible will eventually become a reality. It is so exciting!

"Why are you laughing at here?" Mei Xiang ran over, snatched the teacup from Kang Fan's hand, and took a few sips of it, "Are you happy about anything you want to tell me?"

Kang Fan's face still maintained the happy smile he had just now, and looked at Mei Xiang with affectionate expression.

Mei Xiang closed her eyes and raised her head, patting her chest, "I just can't stand your eyes!"

"What's wrong?" Kang Fan asked with a smile.

Mei Xiang leaned over and lay on Kang Fan's back and whispered in his ear: "As soon as I see you, my legs are weak."

Kang Fan smiled and said, "The female mouse sees the male cat, right?"

Mei Xiang laughed out loud, "You are so disgusting, such a beautiful thing makes you so miserable!"

Kang Fan handed a roasted quail to Mei Xiang, "When you eat this, your legs will become hard."

"You should be hard, I'd better be softer. There are milk and cakes in my car." Mei Xiang said.

The guards surrounding him suddenly burst into laughter! Kang Fan also laughed so hard that he fell back and forth. Mei Xiang realized that she had let go of her mouth, jumped up and blushed and chased and beat the laughing guards. The medical staff on the construction site in the distance were attracted by the laughter here, and threw down the work in their hands and ran over. After seeing the oily game on the fire and the fragrant hot tea, she rushed up and snatched all of these things.

At this moment, after learning that the magistrate of the Pianguan County was visiting the local inspection, he organized the county government staff to come to visit and brought a lot of food. He buried a pot on the construction site to make rice to entertain everyone. Kang Fan was very happy and was planning to hunt with the guards again, but now there was no need.

After receiving Kang Fan's order, the magistrates of each county have begun to collect all related affairs in Ben County. For this mountainous area that is used to poverty, Kang Fan's grand blueprint for them is like a shot of a heart-warming agent, which inspires their confidence to work hard. In addition, they are afraid of Kang Fan's reputation, and work is quite hard. On the one hand, enterprises located in each county can bring real benefits to the local area, and on the other hand, they are also their own political achievements in improving people's livelihood. Why not do their best to do it well? Moreover, the three counties, Panguan, Wuzhai and Shenchi, are all low-end industries such as mining, building materials, and handicrafts, and are relatively easy to operate. All kinds of raw materials produced by these enterprises will be supplied to manufacturing enterprises concentrated in Ningwu County.

In Ningwu County, a metallurgical joint enterprise, a chemical joint enterprise, a mechanical joint enterprise and an electrical/optical equipment joint enterprise, and other light industrial enterprises such as papermaking, leather, textiles, clothing, shoes and hats, stationery, daily necessities, and food processing should also be expanded or newly built, but the scale is relatively small. The reason why a special military enterprise is not established is that it is in accordance with Kang Fan's intention: opening military branches in various civilian enterprises, hiding the military industry in the civilian industry can not only cover up people's eyes and effectively utilize existing resources, so as to achieve common use of military and civilians and common development.

Industrial enterprises in Ningwu County are the main stage for students to show their style and the core of Ningwu Prefecture's manufacturing industry in the future. The enterprises in the Mafang Township Industrial Park will be incorporated into these newly established enterprises, retaining only those living facilities and the scientific research center, and improving them to facilitate the continued development of scientific research.

The advanced industrial equipment assembled by the scientific research center will be provided to various industrial enterprises in Ningwu County for use and will work together with some imported industrial equipment. The goal of the students is to prepare to develop and produce various industrial equipment that meet the requirements in the shortest time, gradually replace those imported equipment, and achieve independent updates.

Relatively speaking, the low-end industries established by other counties in Ningwu Prefecture and various regions in the province are one level less important. First, we must solve the problem of whether there is any problem, secondly, the problem of whether it is fast or not, and then the problem of whether it is good or not. Therefore, we directly use imported ready-made technologies and equipment, and the construction period is relatively short and the production speed is faster. The group of building materials enterprises built in advance have entered a busy production period due to the large demand for cement, glass, bricks, etc. in various construction sites in the region. Both the production scale and operating efficiency are rising rapidly, and all counties have begun to taste the sweetness.

Unlike Pianguan County, Ningwu, Shenchi and Wuzhai counties have good agricultural foundations, especially in Shenchi area, where the total arable land area is more than the sum of the other three counties, and it is the area with the most concentrated planting industry. Ningwu and Wuzhai areas have rich pasture and forestry resources, and are also concentrated areas with concentrated animal husbandry, breeding, forestry and other areas. Under the demonstration and driving of various official farms, the development momentum of private agriculture in the above areas is good. Therefore, the construction focus of Shenchi and Wuzhai areas is on agricultural infrastructure such as farmland water conservancy, grain warehouses, and agricultural and sideline product processing. After Kang Fan and his party came to Shenchi County, they met He Shuichang.

He Shui-Chief was in charge of the agricultural construction of Ningwu Mansion. He had always had Zhong Hanqiang's help, but after the beginning of spring, Zhong Hanqiang was busy with industrial construction and was left with himself. Although he was very busy, after the trial last year, all measures have matured and implemented them in a busy and orderly manner.

Since last year, He Shuichang and Zhong Hanqiang and others have adopted policies to encourage new reclamation for agricultural wasteland and abandoned land in their jurisdiction and purchased land from private hands, so that various official farms have obtained a large amount of arable land. These arable land is contracted to farmers in each county for business in the form of public bidding. They only charge extremely low usage fees symbolically and purchase agricultural products at stable and preferential prices, which has attracted the tenants, long-term workers and other farmers who have served the local landlords for a long time in the county.

At the same time, the farmland water conservancy facilities of each official farm are scientifically and perfected, and farmers are provided with free new crop seeds such as wheat, corn, cotton, flax, beets, and various vegetables. Professional technical management personnel are responsible for guidance and provide new fertilizers and pesticides at extremely low prices, so farmers in each official farm have great benefits.

However, some local landlords held a large amount of land in their hands but were forced to stay idle because they could not hire enough labor and eventually had to be sold. In this way, a large amount of private land was acquired by the government and turned into an official farm, and the expansion of the scale of the official farm can accommodate more farmers.

By this year, the total area of ​​arable land in Ningwufu official farms has exceeded the total area of ​​private land, and the output of agricultural products in official farms is several times that of private land.

Mei Xiang was puzzled and asked, "As this kind of development, there will be no landlords in the local area soon? Then has Brother He sold the land to the government?"

He Shuichang shook his head and smiled, looking at Kang Fan.

Kang Fan took over the topic and said, "Let me tell you Mei Xiang, Brother He's land is the first official farm, including our Fenhe Camp."

Mei Xiang was surprised.

He Shuichang said: "What Brother Kang does is for the country and the people, and he is not greedy for his own selfishness. The He family should donate their own land and contribute their slight strength to the local area. Mei Xiang doesn't have to be surprised."

Mei Xiang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother He is a famous scholar in the aftermath."

Kang Fan continued: "As for other landlords, first, they can cooperate with the government and rent out the land they don't want to sell to the government and enjoy the benefits; second, they can hire enough labor from other places to serve themselves. Because the current official farms will only grant the land management rights to local farmers, and outsiders will not enjoy this treatment. Besides, it is impossible for local farmers to provide enough farming land for all local farmers or farmers in other places, and there will still be a lot of labor left. We are still developing breeding, animal husbandry, forestry, etc. at the same time, and they are just in need of them. Moreover, when our industry develops, all walks of life will develop along with it, and employment opportunities will only increase."

"Everyone is happy." Mei Xiang smiled.

Animal Husbandry, breeding, forestry, etc. have also received support from preferential policies of the government and strong administrative intervention. They have developed faster than the planting industry. They have formed a large scale and are expected to grow to a large extent this year. On the basis of being able to produce a large amount of meat, milk, eggs, fruits and other side dishes, they also provide a large amount of raw materials for the local industry, such as hair, skin, wood and other things. Several important mines and military horse farms located outside the jurisdiction of Ningwufu were made very smooth due to Hu Pinzhi's personal intervention, and there was no problem in completing the plan. Therefore, after ending this activity that was happily called "spring outing" by Mei Xiang, Kang Fan should go back to manage and rectify the officialdom.
Chapter completed!
