Chapter 1474 Money is not a problem

Hearing that there is no need to consider economic development in the three provinces, everyone was stunned.

"Your Majesty, the problem of people's livelihood is bigger than the sky."

Hou Xun hurriedly reminded him.

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"You guys, you misunderstood me."

He waited for everyone to see it before explaining the reason.

"For a long period of time in the future, the three provinces of Qin, Shanxi, and Hebei will have to do a lot of work to restore the ecology. Most importantly, quite a few places need to make way for the restoration of the ecology. Under such circumstances, Wouldn’t it be contradictory to engage in economic development?”

After hearing this, everyone faintly understood.

The officials here still understand how to restore the ecology.

It is nothing more than returning farmland to forests, afforestation, water and soil conservation and other measures, but there is no doubt that no matter which measure will have an impact on the original social structure.

Later generations engaged in ecological restoration, relying on the strong accumulation of wealth after years of economic development.Even so, it had a huge impact on the people.

In doing this right now, there is little need to consider the impact on the public.

The population has dropped sharply, and there are barren mountains and mountains everywhere. No matter what you do, it will not affect the common people.

The only thing that needs to be considered is to avoid the interference of social population in advance in the place of ecological restoration.

For example, as the society settles down, the population will definitely grow explosively.

Will the growing population encroach on the land that needs ecological restoration?
"What you need to pay attention to in terms of population in the future is that once the population growth reaches a certain scale, you must immigrate to the outside world immediately."

Zuo Menggeng has a solution.

That is to maintain the population cap of the three provinces through forced immigration.

As long as the population of these three places is maintained, then there is no fear of repeated ecological restoration.

The vast territory of the empire now determines that he has the capital to do so.

Zhong Sanlin, Governor of Hebei Province, Liu Yunhai, Governor of Shanxi Province, and Wang Qiaonian, the scheduled future Governor of Shaanxi Province, were all present, and hurriedly recorded this instruction.

Among them, Wang Qiaonian felt the deepest.

"There is almost no grass in the northern Shaanxi area. Yulin, Yan'an and other places have been attacked by wind and sand for many years. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, this place is a good place for lush aquatic plants to thrive!"

Of course Zuo Menggeng knew that what he was talking about was the famous Mu Us Desert which was about to be tamed by humans.

"The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were able to directly attack the desert and create illustrious martial arts was because of the richness of Guanzhong. But it was also because of the excessive cultivation of humans for thousands of years that it was fatally destroyed. Xing is a good opportunity to rebuild Guanzhong. When you govern, you must work harder, and you must clearly explain the stakes to the local people."

Liu Yunhai scratched his head.

"Your Majesty's orders, we will naturally do our best to carry them out. But what the people need to live is real gold and silver. I'm afraid the effect will be limited if we just talk about it."

Zuo Menggeng rolled his eyes coldly.

"Didn't I tell you that all the investment in the three provinces comes from the state. Local people can also participate in ecological restoration, and the state will provide money and food. In addition, you can also actively explore how to restore ecology and create economic value. Combined. Can a living person be suffocated by urine?"

After being scolded, the three provincial governors quickly thought about it.

Xue Fengzuo was very worried.

"Your Majesty, I have to remind you. If all the finances of the three provinces come from the state, and now they are using troops everywhere, I'm afraid..."

He was afraid that the country's finances would collapse.

Many people present were also worried about this, and felt that the range of this movement might be bigger than that of Emperor Sui Yang back then.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng smiled indifferently, full of confidence.

"The problem of food, you all know. Now the development of the extreme north is getting deeper and deeper, and the cultivated land is expanding infinitely. It is no problem at all to support the three provinces."

How much arable land does the empire have in the extreme north?

A full 31 billion mu!

When the data came up, Zuo Menggeng trembled.

The Chinese nation's obsession with the land is really terrifying.

The people who immigrated to the past really brought their land reclamation skills to the extreme after there were no restrictions.

Even though the country stipulates that farming is not allowed in many places, the people are still enthusiastic and explore infinitely, which makes the amount of cultivated land reclaimed in the extreme north more than several times that of the mainland.

Especially those lands are very fertile and have extremely high yields.Even though the farming methods are very rough and cause great waste, the food produced is amazing.

Without this confidence, Zuo Menggeng dared to let the three provinces of Qin, Jin, and Hebei give up economic development and concentrate on ecological restoration?
"As for the money issue, you don't need to worry about it. I want to tell you some good news. After that kid Fu Xinyuan went to the New World, he discovered...um...yes...a large area of ​​gold production."

Hearing Zuo Menggeng's adjectives, everyone was in a bad mood.

Not a gold mine?
But a large area of ​​gold production?

How much gold does that have?
"Hey, the Great Wall is empty, and the temples in the mirror are already stained..."

Standing alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast blue sea with his eyes, Fu Xinyuan complained again and again.

"If you didn't eat four crab legs, I would believe your evil."

Wu Jiang squinted at him.

Bitch is hypocritical.

"I've been demoted, and I'm not allowed to complain?"

General Wu didn't bother to talk to him.

"All right, all right, you can look at yourself here, grandpa is busy."

When he returned to the command room, the deputy couldn't help gossiping in a low voice.

"Junzheng, is this big secret really demoted?"

General Wu said angrily, "I've come here to be the governor of the province. Do you think you've been demoted?"

The deputy didn't believe it.

"This is a place of bitter cold in the extreme north, and the chief secretary was sent to the New World, wasn't he demoted?"

General Wu became angry.

"You kid eats crabs weighing eight catties every day, and you are fat like a pig. You tell me that this is a place of bitter cold? Send you back, can you do it?"

The deputy quickly retracted his neck and giggled.

"When I first came here, I felt that this life was over. I never thought that this place is simply a fairyland, and the products are too rich."

Wu Jiang secretly glanced at Fu Xinyuan who was still playing crazy in the bow.

"Your Majesty has had three secretaries. The first Fu Yusun was only the mayor when he first came out. The second Fu Yijian was the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Which official position is higher? Only this one, as soon as he came out, he was the provincial governor. Do you believe that he was demoted?"

"Then why does he act like he wants to die or live?"

"A showman."

Fu Xinyuan is actually boring.

It is really a vast sea, nothing to do, it can drive people crazy.

After three months of long-distance sailing, he finally arrived at Xinhua City.

As soon as he arrived at the place, he received a shocking news.

"Provincial government, the expedition team discovered a huge gold producing area in the south."

Hearing this statement, Fu Xinyuan was shocked all over.

He has made such great political achievements since he first came here. Is this pie in the sky?

"Get ready now, I'll go there in person."
