Zheng He takes the players to visit the Qiang tribes one by one and recruits them to work as herdsmen on the racecourse. Cui Tao is busy appeasing the people of Ganzhou and reversing the loss caused by converting horses into mulberry trees.
The entire Ganzhou, from Zhangye City to the surrounding villages, is gradually restoring order.
Li Yan sees all this with his eyes. Among the players, Cui Tao has the strongest civil affairs ability. This is why he always entrusts Cui Tao with important responsibilities.
Through the system, Li Yan focused his attention on Suzhou, which is adjacent to Ganzhou. Zeng Mu, who was promoted from the chief of the district to the governor of Suzhou, had also taken office in Jiuquan City.
However, Zeng Mu obviously followed a different governance path from Cui Tao.
The situation in Jiuquan City is worse than that in Zhangye City. Jiuquan's original economy was not as good as Zhangye's, and its location was not as dangerous as Zhangye's. On the contrary, when supplies were transferred to the customs, Suzhou was exploited less.
But Suzhou also faces a serious problem, that is, it has a vast territory and a sparse population and a shortage of manpower.
In the governor's office, Zeng Mu was explaining the geography of Suzhou to his subordinates:
"The reason why the Hexi Corridor is called the corridor is that it is surrounded by the Helan Mountains to the north and the Qilian Mountains to the south. The mountains on both sides lock in rainfall, so the Hexi Corridor is fertile."
"But our location in Suzhou is not as good as that in Ganzhou. Because there is a Lama Pass on the north side of Helan Mountain, the territory near Jiuquan is smaller than that of Zhangye. In addition, the desert is eroding from the west. Although the area in Suzhou is large,
, but there are not many places suitable for farming and grazing.”
Zeng Mu raised his head and looked around. The serious faces below were the subordinates Zeng Mu trained in Yixiali and Liulin.
Although they are not as easy to use as players, they can do whatever Sheng says, which is safer than those players who are afraid of chaos.
Looking at these faces, old and young, Zeng Mu knew that this was the team he could most rely on.
Zeng Mu pointed at the map with a stick and said: "Outside Zhangye City, there are still players. Oh, but King Jianning's personal soldiers serve as the commanders. We don't need to take care of these places for the time being."
Before coming to Suzhou, Zeng Mu specifically wrote to Li Yan, requesting King Jianning not to contract the city of Zhangye and the villages near the city to the village chief.
Li Yan agreed to Zeng Mu's request, which was equivalent to handing Zhangye City over to Zeng Mu to manage.
Zeng Mu looked at the men he had brought out and said: "Starting tomorrow, we will visit the people in Zhangye City, ask them about their pursuits, and count their occupations. We will find out about this city as soon as possible and conduct a detailed city survey.
come out."
When everyone stood up, Zeng Mu said to a half-year-old girl: "Yun Niang, Zhang Zhong, you two can stay here for a while."
A few young subordinates stayed and looked at these young faces. These were all indigenous students trained by Zeng Mu in the school. They were able to write and do math. They were Zeng Mu's core subordinates.
Zeng Mu looked at them and said: "Yun Niang, you have investigated Jiuquan these days, tell me what you think."
Young Yun Niang's face was full of competence. She took out a small book and said: "Mr. Li, after my investigation in the past few days, I found that there are actually many industries in Jiuquan."
Zeng Mu, these young people who were trained by Zeng Mu himself, still prefer to be called Zeng Mu, Chief.
Zeng Mu also liked their familiar name, so he always asked them to call him Chief Zeng.
Yun Niang was the most diligent of the group of children who studied at that time. She quickly recognized commonly used Chinese characters and was also very talented in arithmetic.
Zeng Mu immediately invited players to serve as teachers in Yixiali. Even the teacher was surprised by Yun Niang's learning talent.
Especially in arithmetic and science, Yun Niang was able to teach them well and quickly mastered the mathematics and physics and chemistry knowledge of junior high school.
Later, when Zeng Mu took office in Liulinli, when Zhao Chen and Wang Xue were preparing to build their pharmaceutical factory, they still needed a laboratory to synthesize salicylic acid. Zeng Mu immediately thought of Yun Niang.
After Yun Niang was brought to Liulinli by Zeng Mu, she worked in the laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory while receiving lessons from Zhao Chen and Wang Xue.
Zhao Chen and Wang Xue were also graduate students in pharmacy, and of course they had quite good basic knowledge of physics and chemistry. Under their guidance, Yun Niang quickly became the squad leader of aboriginal workers. In the end, Zhao Chen and Wang Xue were able to train new workers.
I can rest assured that I can leave the work to Yun Niang.
For this good embryo, Zeng Mu naturally took great pains to cultivate him. Not only advanced scientific knowledge, but also some progressive ideological enlightenment books were also brought into the game by Zeng Mu and given to Yun Niang and others to read.
Yun Niang said: "The villages outside Jiuquan City are all distributed in oases. Jiuquan City is home to half of the entire population of Suzhou. This is completely different from Shazhou and Xizhou."
Zeng Mu nodded. The natural environment in Suzhou is not very good. Deserts and oases intersect. Jiuquan City is built on the largest oasis, so half of the population of Suzhou is occupied. Therefore, Jiuquan City is constantly expanding outwards.
It formed a city that was quite huge in this era.
But speaking of it as a city, the inner city enclosed by the city wall of Jiuquan City is actually not that big. The people rely on the inner city wall to continuously expand outwards to create a large city.
Moreover, there is a lack of planning outside the inner city, and there is even farmland on the roadside.
Yun Niang also said: "The biggest characteristic of the wine city is its 'chaos'. Chaos means that the whole city is mixed with Hu and Han people, and it is also the exit of Hexi. There are so many merchants coming from the south to the north. In the past few days, I was asked to investigate Jiuquan by Zengli.
The industries in the city are all kinds of businesses, and they are very mixed, but there are no industries that can truly form characteristics. This is what I call 'chaos'."
Zeng Mu nodded repeatedly, this was the same as what he felt about Jiuquan City.
Although the population of Suzhou is not counted as Shangzhou, most of the population is concentrated in Jiuquan City, and the population size of Jiuquan City is larger than that of Gaochang City.
However, Jiuquan City does not have the same prosperous feeling as Gaochang City, and because of the large number of people, it looks dilapidated and chaotic.
Zeng Mu nodded and said, "Yunniang is right. Urban planning is chaotic and there is a lack of characteristic industries. This is the problem Jiuquan is facing. After your investigation, where do you think we should start?"
Yun Niang was very nervous. This time Zeng Mu led them to Jiuquan and appointed them as officials of the governor's office. These ordinary children in Liulinli and Yixiali did not expect that they could participate in the management of a house like themselves.
State affairs.
Thinking that these were all cultivated by Zeng Mu, these half-year-old children were all holding back their energy and wanted to achieve some results in order to live up to Zeng Mu's training.
For this note, Yun Niang also traveled throughout Jiuquan City and investigated many industries in Jiuquan.
Yun Niang took a breath and said: "Zeng Li, Jiuquan is between Guazhou City and Zhangye City. If you want to develop, you must find the right location for Jiuquan."
"City positioning?" Zeng Mu's eyes lit up. He was just asking Yun Niang for their opinions out of habit, and did not want them to come up with solutions.
Unexpectedly, they actually thought of this level! Zeng Mu looked at his "NPC subordinates" with even more surprise. Sure enough, the characters in the "game" can also grow!
