Chapter 280: Phase One Transformation Survival Mission
While other princes were still anxious for territory, Nanyang County had already begun the first phase of transformation.
There is actually nothing special about the first phase of renovation. It is nothing more than re-planning the layout of Nanyang County and paving and widening several main roads at the same time.
According to the new design drawing, Huang Zhong established a layout pattern with Wancheng-Zunyi as the center and radiating to the surrounding areas. With Wancheng as the economic and industrial center and Zunyi as the cultural and agricultural center, the surrounding counties and counties were driven to develop rapidly.
, and finally fed back to Yizhou.
For this phase of the project, Huang Zhong, with Liu Bian's consent, recruited 5,000 civilians to work on it, most of whom came from various prefectures and counties and migrated here to avoid the disasters of war.
In this recruitment, Huang Zhong did not conscript them for free in the form of corvee service, but paid to hire them.
For the family, such behavior is a huge waste of resources, because it will consume a lot of the family's money. But for the ruler of a place, the people have money on hand, as long as they can guide their consumption, then
The local economy can be greatly improved, and what you get will be far greater than what you pay.
After the recruitment of five thousand civilians was completed, they were divided into five teams and dispersed to several places. At the same time, each team was divided into five small teams to manage them with semi-military management. At the same time, a reward mechanism was also introduced to limit the work speed.
The fastest and best team will receive additional bonuses and better food, and will be evaluated monthly.
For a time, the enthusiasm of civilian workers increased a lot, the progress of the project accelerated a lot, and the quality of the project was also the best in the past.
It took five thousand people a month to repair and widen the two main roads. At the same time, trees were planted on both sides of the road, which reduced some of the sand and dust problems that troubled merchants.
After that, it took another two months to move the workshops in Zunyi to the surrounding areas of Wancheng, and several public and private schools in Nanyang County were also moved to Zunyi, leaving only three or four private schools for enlightenment.
At the same time, three large comprehensive markets were opened in Wancheng. One is the most basic farmers' market, the other is a market selling goods produced in workshops, and the last one sells jewelry, wine, silk, etc.
luxury goods market.
As for taxes, that is the second phase of renovation, so it has not been carried out yet.
After three months of thorough transformation, Wancheng has taken the form of an economic and industrial city; Zunyi has also taken the form of a cultural and agricultural city.
What needs to be done after that is to transform it step by step on the basis of this prototype until the nature of these two places is completely implemented.
"The reaction from the family is a bit strong, is that okay?" Xie Xin's clone looked at Huang Zhong.
"I just want to get some benefits from this relocation process. There are no big aristocratic families in Nanyang, and most of the remaining aristocratic families are short-sighted. It is obvious that after the renovation is completed, their family's income will increase several times, but...
For such a small benefit in front of me, I always come here to annoy people." Huang Zhong said with a bit of complaint.
"Greed is a good thing. If it is guided correctly, it can create greater wealth. But if it is not controlled properly, it will harm others and yourself..." Xie Xin muttered in a low voice.
"You mean to take full advantage of their greed?" Huang Zhong heard it.
"I don't give you any advice, I'm just enlightening!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, even if you are enlightening! Damn it, if you just say a few words like that, I will have to discuss it with the students in the economics department for several days!" Huang Zhong said angrily.
"Speaking of which, has your time for practicing martial arts decreased recently?" Xie Xin asked worriedly.
"No, I leave many things to Huang Shang for help. In addition, your other students are also good and can help me share some of the work. So I still have enough time to practice martial arts so that my skills will not be wasted.
Lose.
But you also know, brother, I am getting older and have slowly passed my peak period. From now on, my strength will slowly decline. Even if I train hard, I will not be able to compare with what I was before.
Therefore, I can only take the time to learn the knowledge of local governance. If I get too old to fight in the future, I will just take care of the government affairs. As for the matter of fighting..." Huang Zhong reached the end and moved toward
He looked in the direction of Zunyi.
"That boy of yours is indeed making rapid progress now, but I plan to send him to Yingchuan Academy for a few years in two years. Wouldn't you mind?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"Of course I won't mind, but how about we discuss it?" Huang Zhong suddenly looked at the thank you letter with a strange smile.
"Speak directly if you have something to say. If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, it's not okay!" Xie Xin was not fooled.
"I heard that your college has a disciple who is both civil and military, named Zhao Yun..." Huang Zhong rubbed his palms and said a little embarrassedly.
"Don't count on it. He is Zuo Ci's disciple, and I am at most his mentor. After graduation, which prince he will seek refuge with is his own business.
Of course, if you can convince him to work under you before he graduates, then I have nothing to say." Xie Xin said with a smirk.
"No problem, I will work hard!" Huang Zhong smiled.
"Yeah!" Xie Xin suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong? What happened?!" Huang Zhong asked worriedly.
"Lou Gui is about to leave seclusion, tnnd, why did it take so long to get out of seclusion?! No, I have to say goodbye!" Xie Xin said anxiously.
"Well, go quickly!" Huang Zhong nodded, but when he went, he found that the thank you letter beside him had disappeared.
At this moment, in the practice room of Xiaoyao Sect.
"How do you feel?" Xie Xin asked, standing in front of Lou Gui, looking at him who was panting.
"When the disciple was undergoing the Heaven-defying Trial, he almost failed. Fortunately, the master has opened a way forward for the disciple, so the disciple was able to pass by luck." Lou Gui said with a wry smile.
Pass by, give some flowers or collect them when you have time, everyone! Let’s promote the new book "Nightmare Labyrinth", if you can, at least collect it, thank you.
There will be one more update before twelve o'clock tomorrow. If the situation is good, there will be two updates. There will be one update after twelve o'clock.

"In other words, your boy has also taken the path of 'love'?" Xie Xin smiled faintly.
"Yes, this disciple followed Master and chose the way of 'love'!" Lou Gui said confidently.
"Well, at least I can give you some advice if you encounter any problems!" Xie Xin said nonchalantly.
Nowadays, the way of heaven is still the way of "profit", so even if there is another fellow traveler on the way of "love", it will not change the fact that he is against heaven.
The only difference is that this path was opened up by Xie Xin. If he can one day replace Tiandao, then his relationship with Lou Gui will be like the relationship between Hongjun and Sanqing.
In other words, Lou Gui attained enlightenment under the protection of Xie Xin, but he was destined to never surpass Xie Xin in his achievements in this life. The man behind the Yangtze River cannot push the man ahead. Is this a tragedy for a teacher?
No matter what, this is Lou Gui's choice. Xie Xin will always support him in this regard.
"So, you should first consolidate your cultivation and digest the Tao you have learned!" Xie Xin explained patiently.
"Yes!" Seeing that Xie Xin didn't mean to blame, Lou Gui immediately nodded happily.
After leaving the practice room, the system information appeared again.
One is information about rewards for completing the main mission. According to the rules, I got some experience and spiritual stones, and also got an opportunity for adventure.
One piece of information is the next round of main quests:
"A new round of missions: expansion!"
"To expand the sect's disciples to a thousand within five years, each disciple must have spiritual roots. Otherwise, even if tens of thousands of disciples are recruited, it will be regarded as a failure of the mission. At the same time, within five years, twenty disciples of the sect must enter and exit.
Cultivation in the orifice period."
The last one made Xie Xin frown.
"Survival mission: Under the decree of the Jade Emperor, three hundred immortals are authorized to come down to earth and seize the thunder-shaking immortal sword in your hand. The enemy will arrive in about three months. Please be sure to take defensive measures."
"Three months... that's a lot of time!" Xie Xin couldn't help but smile evilly after reading the message.
