The reason why Liu Shanxia agreed to help this was mainly because he undertook the construction of the office building of Yu's Shipping Company, which was not a small business for the construction company under him. Opportunity to return favors to the Yu couple.The situation of Lu Zhanpeng is completely different. The reason why Liang Liping was interested in Miaoli at the beginning was because he followed his suggestion.
As a professional, Lu Zhanpeng is very optimistic about the future development prospects of Miaoli's petrochemical industry. If the Yu couple's shipping company really wants to set up a fixed route between Sanya and Miaoli, he even plans to pay for shares and participate in the operation of this route.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason why it is inconvenient to announce it, that is, Lu Zhanpeng has the power to determine the transportation mode of Miaoli petrochemical products, and he can completely assign the transportation business of the local oil production area to The shipping company of the Yus and his wife, in this way, can guarantee the bottom line at worst, so that the shipping company will not suffer losses during the operation of this route.
Of course, this kind of small calculation cannot be said to the outside world. In front of Tao Donglai, Lu Zhanpeng can only claim that he is helping a friend, but he will not take the initiative to mention why the shipping company has taken a fancy to Miaoli. A place where the mountains are not dewy.
It is not difficult for Lu Zhanpeng to deceive the relatively dull Wang Hui with these small tricks, but it is not enough in front of Tao Donglai.Tao Donglai was a big boss before crossing over, and he knew a lot about various methods in the mall, so he naturally understood the principle of "no profit can't afford it".I think that Yu Feng and Liang Liping are not mediocre. When starting a shipping company, they will definitely give priority to various well-known trading ports as their destinations. How could they list the unknown Miaoli as their first choice? The only explanation is that they are familiar with Miaoli and have the experience. Those in a position to influence Miaoli transport arrangements advised them to do so.
Of course, Tao Donglai will not expose these little tricks of Lu Zhanpeng face to face. To him, it does not make any difference to which shipping company the transportation share of Miaoli will be handed over to in the future. To be sure, at least the operator understands the significance of petrochemical products to Haihan, and will pay more attention to the transportation safety of this route, which will also help to change the current situation of lack of fixed cargo ship arrangements in Miaoli.
In Miaoli, there has never been a private shipping company to set up a fixed boat schedule. The main reason is that the private shipping company thinks that this place is not profitable and is unwilling to make a loss-making business, so it has always been able to rely on Haihan's official ships to arrange transportation every time. .Now there are non-governmental commercial organizations willing to come forward to undertake the shipping business here, the efficiency will definitely exceed that of the official ships with limited capacity, and it will help save the local development. From Tao Donglai's standpoint, he is actually happy to see the results.
Tao Donglai said in a deep voice: "According to our past experience, the demand for shipping in overseas colonies is closely related to the level of development. In Miaoli, if only relying on the petrochemical industry, the upper limit of production capacity is there. It can be said that it is difficult to make shipping There has been a relatively large increase in demand. The question you raised, I think, will eventually be settled on the direction of development after a large number of local immigrants have moved in.”
"If we simply carry out the traditional agricultural construction of farming grain, it will be difficult to create a relatively large demand for material circulation. I just mentioned planting cash crops and conducting deep processing of agricultural and sideline products. The purpose is to improve the business of local output. Value. Only with value can there be circulation, and circulation will drive trade, thereby generating demand for shipping. As the next Miaoli local official, you can make more efforts in this direction and think about how to create more values and needs."
Tao Donglai expressed his views cautiously. He is optimistic about the future development prospects of Miaoli, but whether the current plans can be realized depends on the ability of local officials and the tacit cooperation with various departments.No matter how good the plan is, if it 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 over, saying that they were apprentices led by Minister Yuan, but I don't know if these people can support the sky."
Tao Donglai replied: "The people under Lao Yuan's hands are treasures. It is really rare to be able to send a few people to you at a time. When the time comes, you will hand over the work of agricultural development to them. If there is any request, it will be satisfied as much as possible.”
Back then, 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 work of the Ministry of Agriculture, is Yuan Ruoxiu's eldest son, and he is also responsible for all agricultural development matters in overseas colonies.
The Ministry of Agriculture’s development plan for the Miaoli region refers to the agricultural characteristics of this area in the old time and space to a certain extent. On the basis of ensuring the planting area of food crops, it promotes the planting of various economic crops, supplemented by fishery, forest species, and animal husbandry. industry and many 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 the Miaoli area may be far smaller than that of other overseas colonies, the Ministry of Agriculture has sent a technical team to provide agricultural technical support.In addition, they arrived in Miaoli this time with thousands of farm tools and a large number of crop seeds, which are enough to meet the recent farming needs here, and then move faster to catch up with the end of this year's spring plowing.
The three of them sat under the tea shed for about an hour. After Lu Zhanpeng drank hot tea and ate something, he finally recovered, and his face was not as pale as when he just got off the boat.But for the tens of miles to the oil production area, they still have to take a transportation boat.
"Can we change the mode of transportation? For example, take a carriage?" Lu Zhanpeng felt uncomfortable seeing the boat at this time. He really didn't want to take the boat again at this time, otherwise the little thing that had just entered his stomach might have to be vomited again.
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 bumpy and bumpy. On the contrary, it is more stable by boat. The water in Houlongxi is gentle, unlike the wind and waves on the sea. It doesn't go up and down."
"Let me make a suggestion." Tao Donglai said: "Let's take a land journey to see the construction of the nearby immigrant settlements, and then turn to the waterway and take a boat to the oil production area."
Tao Donglai didn't take the initiative to mention it. The other two seemed to have forgotten the ongoing resettlement project in the local area.Lu Zhanpeng immediately agreed, and of course Wang Hui had to respect the intentions of the two of them, so he asked someone to prepare the carriage.
The resettlement site of the group of migrants who arrived in Miaoli recently is about five or six miles away from the seaside wharf, which is still in the lower reaches of the Houlong River, and it only takes a cup of tea to get there by horse-drawn carriage.However, the road was as bad and bumpy as Wang Hui said. Lu Zhanpeng regretted his request to go to the oil production area by car just halfway through the ride.Fortunately, the resettlement location was not too far away, otherwise Lu Zhanpeng would have the cheek to ask for a different mode of transportation.
After the three of them got out of the car, they didn't see the scene of labor in full swing. The temporary residence here had already been set up before they arrived.Although there are only some huts and emergency tents provided by the government, for the immigrants who have just arrived here, they finally have a place that can shelter from the wind and rain.
However, no one was seen at the resettlement site at this time, only a few young and old stood by the side of the road, curiously looking at these nobles who were guarded by armed personnel.The civil affairs officer in charge of managing the place came quickly and reported the situation of the resettlement site to the three senior officials.
According to the plan beforehand, the first batch of more than [-] immigrants were separated and taken to settlements in five different places for resettlement, and this settlement accepted more than [-] of them.However, at this time, the young and strong in the settlements were taken to the nearby forests, and they needed to cut down more trees to continue building houses and improve the current living conditions.
At present, the rations and other living materials of the immigrants are all provided by the government. They only need to work according to the official arrangement, and they can obtain basic survival guarantees by virtue of their labor points.If someone wants to be lazy and idle around here, or disobey the arrangement to disturb the order, then what awaits him will be punishment of hard labor starting from [-] days.
The labor point grading system has been in operation in Haihan for more than ten years. This system has a very significant effect on the management of new immigrants. All the benefits they can get, including food, housing and living supplies, are all related to their personal labor. Points and grades are directly linked.In particular, housing and land, which immigrants are most concerned about, must accumulate a certain amount of labor points before they can be eligible to participate in the distribution.Therefore, under such a system, in order to obtain a stable livelihood as soon as possible, the vast majority of people will honestly obey the official arrangement to participate in labor.
Wang Hui said that a brick and tile kiln has been built nearby, and it will be put into operation in the near future. The clay dug out of the wetland by the Houlongxi River is used to bake bricks and tiles, cooking utensils and tableware.In addition, a wood workshop has been put into operation, and the processed wood is used for building houses or making furniture.The output of these workshops is exclusively for local immigrant settlements, and it is only a matter of time before these temporary settlements are upgraded into real villages.
When leaving this place, the sharp-eyed Tao Donglai noticed that a large area on the other side of Houlongxi seemed to have signs of construction and leveling the foundation, so he asked Wang Hui about it.
Wang Hui explained: "That was the address of the petrochemical processing plant selected in the early years, but later because of the limited local production capacity, the Ministry of Industry believed that it was not necessary to build a special processing plant, so it was called to clean up that area. Stopped. But this time the Ministry of Industry wants to upgrade the production capacity of local petrochemical products, so this place should probably be reopened, right?"
Wang Hui looked at Lu Zhanpeng while talking. If the Ministry of Industry has this plan, then Lu Zhanpeng should have the relevant information.After all, the construction of a chemical plant is not a small project that can be completed in ten days and half a month. The time from construction to production may even be calculated in years. If the production capacity of petrochemical products is to be significantly improved in one or two years, then it should start now Consider eliminating the existing processing equipment and building a chemical plant with stronger processing capacity.
However, the chemical plant was not located in the oil production area upstream of Houlongxi, mainly because a large number of people would immigrate here in the future. If a factory is set up upstream, the water quality of the entire Houlongxi River Basin is likely to be seriously polluted.However, if it is built downstream and the sewage is directly discharged into the sea along the stream, then there is no such scruple, and it is built on the opposite bank of Houlong River, so that it can avoid affecting the lives of local people to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, Lu Zhanpeng did not deny Wang Hui's conjecture, and nodded in response: "The Ministry of Industry has this plan. It just so happens that Minister Liu of the Ministry of Construction is also in Miaoli. You can ask him to help guide the early stage of construction."
Wang Hui replied: "Minister Liu should be on the road construction site at this time, but I don't know exactly where it is. We can only meet when he returns to the station in the oil production area in the afternoon."
Liu Shanxia didn't know that Tao Donglai and Lu Zhanpeng had arrived in Miaoli at this time, and he was surveying the terrain on the bank of a certain stream upstream of Houlong River.Next to him is a wooden bridge that was built after Haihan took control of the place. The span is about 40 meters. However, after several years of rainy season, the connection between the wooden bridge and the stone pier has begun to show weathering. , the carrying capacity is not very ideal, so on this newly planned road, a more stable bridge with stronger traffic capacity will be built.
Considering the service life and future maintenance requirements, the new bridge will definitely not use wood as the main building material.After Liu Shanxia conducted a field survey of the construction environment here, he believed that building a reinforced concrete bridge would be more in line with the local land transportation needs.
A cement bridge with a span of tens of meters is definitely not a big project in 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, so you have to order as soon 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 men who follow him, so he doesn't have to climb up and down to measure the data by himself.
While recording the measurement data, Liu Shanxia calculated the construction scale of the new bridge in his mind.Judging from the measurement data, Liu Shanxia couldn't help but worry that his itinerary would be affected by this project, because no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the project can be completed in two or three months.
"If I want to stay here for a year or so, I'm afraid something will go wrong!" Liu Shanxia muttered to himself, feeling a little annoyed that he had misjudged the engineering volume of this land passage earlier.If you want to leave here earlier, you can only start the construction plan as soon as possible, and then teach the construction plan in detail to several foreman apprentices under him, and strive to complete the bridge as quickly as possible.As for the part of road construction, as long as the construction plan is finalized, his subordinates can take care of it, so there is no need for him to keep watching here.
