Ming Zuo

Chapter 679 Construction
Only in terms of economic benefits, Yizhou is not suitable for investment and construction of factories.

This place is too remote, and the initial investment cost is huge.

But at the cabinet meeting, Zuo Menggeng gave a very strong reason.

He only said two words.

And these two words convinced everyone.

That is……

balance.

Compared with Yizhou, other places in Shandong have their own advantages.

There are canals flowing through Dongchang and Yanzhou. Only relying on this lifeline of Ming Dynasty can these two places develop very well.

Not to mention that Dongchang and Yanzhou are still located in the west of Shandong, connecting the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the channels for foreign trade are very developed.

Not to mention Jinan.

Here is the center.

It is impossible to develop badly based on this alone.

Both Dengzhou and Qingdao have the advantages of shipping, and the momentum of development is very rapid.

Only Yizhou is located in the interior of Shandong, and the neighboring Nanzhili is also a remote and poor place.If there is no pillar industry, it will be left far behind by other places.

Unbalanced development among different regions will definitely cause huge problems in the future.

Although concentrating all resources in one place is more conducive to maximizing benefits, Zuo Menggeng does not want to create an Edinburgh.

Therefore, no matter how expensive it is to invest and build a factory in Yizhou, Zuo Menggeng insisted on choosing here.

Zhang Pu, who had been walking around Shandong for a long time, was exhausted and planned to stay in Qingdao.

This place is very busy and close to the sea.Both the climate and the environment are very similar to his hometown.

He decided to recuperate here.

Unlike him, Sun Shenxing, Lu Shiyi, and Guan Yingzhen are very interested in what Shandong is doing.

The three chose to go to Yizhou with Zuo Menggeng, Chen Zhi, and Dang Huanchun.

They want to see with their own eyes how Shandong's investment promotion works.

"Everyone, please see, starting from here, the plantation land is prepared for you. This is the best land in our Yizhou, and I have invested a lot of money."

Standing on the bank of the Dongjiao River, Dang Huanchun was full of confidence.

This is within the territory of Lanshan County under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.

However, Lanshan County is on the east bank of the Dongmao River, and they are located on the west bank of the Dongmao River.

In the future, this place will be the county seat of Lanling County.

But now there is nothing but fields and wilderness.

Despite the desolation in sight, Bao Yong and the others were extremely excited.

Because from where they stand, the world will be their property in the future.

Zhang Sen was filled with emotion.

"When I was in Fujian, I had to rack my brains even to plant a single mulberry tree. Because there are so many people and so little land, every inch of land is expensive. I never thought that here I can do my best and make a big splash."

Zuo Menggeng laughed loudly when he heard this.

"This is our advantage in the north, and it's also where I have the confidence to invite you to invest and build factories here."

Bao Yong couldn't help opening his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the land in front of him.

"Now I believe in the commander-in-chief's conclusion that velvet will definitely become a popular thing in the world in the future.

Regarding the specific plan, Dang Huanchun already had an idea.

He pointed to his feet and said, "How about the living land of your plantation here? Next to it is the Dongyu River, which is convenient for water. On the other side of the river is Lanshan County, and buying goods is just a matter of crossing the river."

Bao Yong, Zhang Sen and others agreed to the plan without hesitation.

In the next few days, everyone ran back and forth on this land, and many times even lived and boarded in the fields.

It took a full month to finally divide the plantation and factory land.

And in this process, the three of Sun Shenxing also greatly changed their cognition.

Especially Zuo Menggeng's performance made them astonished.

This young hero actually lived a very simple life.

At that time in Jinan, Zuo Menggeng said that only by entertaining them could they have a rare enjoyment, they thought it was Zuo Menggeng's hypocrisy.

But after getting along with each other this month, they saw with their own eyes that Zuo Menggeng was running around like ordinary people, coming in the wind and going in the rain, and he definitely could bear the word "hard work".

In addition, everyone lives in a tent and he also lives in a tent, and everyone eats hard buns, and he also eats the same thing.

It can be done for one day, two days, or for a moment, but it is absolutely impossible for a month to continue.

Sun Shenxing is old in accidents and has a vicious eye, and has been secretly observing.

He had noticed long ago that Zuo Menggeng always looked normal during such hard work, without any impatience or boredom.

What does this mean?
It shows that Zuo Menggeng has already adapted to this kind of life, and doesn't think it's really hard work.

But as a hero, to be able to achieve this level is definitely worthy of the title of hero.

"You two, we have been here for a while, how do you feel?"

Lu Shiyi didn't speak.

He majored in studies and was well aware of the need to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Guan Yingzhen was so hungry that he ate potato flour.

The hot and sour taste of potato flour made Sun Shenxing and Lu Shiyi a little uncomfortable, but he, a native of Hubei, fell in love with it very early on.

"Today, if the world wants to say that people love the people like a child, Zuo Menggeng is none other than Zuo Menggeng. It is nothing more than the fact that all the people in Shandong are returning to their hearts, and there is such a big disturbance. If Shandong sweeps the world in the future, I am afraid that no one can stop it."

After hearing Guan Yingzhen's judgment, President Sun Shen sighed.

"The Emperor Taizu may not have been able to do this in the past, even the old man can't help but admire him. It's a pity that such a great talent cannot be used by my Ming Dynasty."

Lu Shiyi's feet were soaked in the water basin to relieve the fatigue after running around.

"Has there ever been a shortage of talented people in the court?"

Just one sentence made Sun Shenxing and Guan Yingzhen sigh again and again.

They are all people who have retired from the court hall, and they know all too well what is going on in the Ming court hall.

"I heard that the people from Shandong have been relocated here. This old man intends to take a closer look to see if his Shandong really treats the people well, or is it a disaster."

This time Lu Shiyi expressed his opinion happily.

"It is necessary to take a good look at whether the so-called way of doing business is really the way to save the world and save the people as Zuo Zhongheng said."

The waiting time for Sun Shenxing and the three of them was not long.

Three days later, the mighty team arrived.

Tens of thousands of people were sent to Yizhou under the organization of Chen Zhi with full expectations.

And only seeing these people at first glance, Sun Shenxing and the others knew that Daming was hopeless.

Because these people who have traveled long distances not only don't see any misery on their bodies, but they are all full of energy anyway.

Even the elderly and children are only exhausted after rushing, but not miserable after suffering.

The three of Sun Shenxing certainly knew that the relocation of people in all dynasties has always been full of blood and tears.

For the common people, a migration is a gate of hell.

Five out of ten who can make it through.

But here, even the relocated people are well taken care of by Shandong.

Doesn't that mean that Shandong has achieved the pinnacle of benevolent governance?
