Heavy Industry Empire

The remaining two groups of amateur pirates saw that the general situation was over, and under the attack of the gunboat, everything was nothing but clouds. After a while, they all surrendered. Xu Tiezheng, Ma Feilong and others tried to appease them. Most of their pirates were just fishermen and couldn't survive. Since then, Rizhao has truly returned to this business without capital. The people are united, and Xu Tiezheng and other city hall staff have also worked harder to develop industry and commerce and encourage agriculture.

In terms of law and order, refer to the practice of Teng County and Yi County. The rural areas implement a system of patrolling villages. The opium trade has disappeared, and more than [-] people have been forced to quit smoking in the entire Lunan militia. Hundreds of opium dealers, hundreds of human traffickers, and procuresses who forced women were shot, and the social atmosphere has improved many times for a while. , although the weather is cold, but everyone's heart is hot.

It’s the beginning of November in the lunar calendar, and the climate in early winter has gradually turned cold, and there is more morning fog. Asia Industrial Corporation has recently invested in the construction of a porcelain and glass industrial park in Linyi. There are also two self-operated factories, one Porcelain factory, a glass factory, among which the glass factory mainly manufactures glasses. At that time, people's eyes were less short-sighted, and there must not be a big market for myopia glasses, but the market for sunglasses is large, and Feng Chao will follow Liu Tianling's thinking and develop towards high-end. The sunglasses I designed are top-notch trendy glasses, not to mention porcelain. I hired master designers to make and develop gift-grade porcelain. The market is the Nordic countries. Of course, everything is just beginning. I want to make money. At least half a year later.

It is not so easy to be in charge of the family. Airplanes, tanks, cannons, and warships are all monsters that eat money. Besides the military, Liu Tianling has to worry about people's livelihood. No matter how good the military is, no matter how powerful it is, ordinary people live in dire straits. In the middle of the day, Liu Tianling took the opportunity to visit the wounded soldiers to visit the countryside, which can be regarded as providing first-hand information for Duan Xuewen's rural development in the past few years.

Ma Xiaoshi, formerly a soldier of Zhao Lianyi's cavalry company, hacked two bandits to death with a saber in the battle against Liu Heiqi's bandits, but his ankle was hit by a bandit's gun, which hurt his big tendon, his leg was crooked, and healed. He then retired with honor.

Ma Xiaoshi's home is in Dama Village, a mountainous area in the west of Pingyi County. Originally, there was only one road for wheelbarrows to enter the village.

Chai Fei cautiously drove his convertible jeep to the entrance of the village, stopped the car, and sighed: "I knew this road was so difficult, so I threw the car outside, it's too difficult to drive,"

Before Liu Tianling could speak, an old man who was basking in the sun on the haystack was not happy, and said, "Young man, please be content. I have lived in Dama Village for 70 to [-] years. Since I was born, there has not been a carriage in the village, isn't it?" People in the village can't afford horses, because this road is not good. There are more than three miles from the entrance of the village to the main road. It is difficult to repair these three miles, and they are all halfway up the mountain.

Liu Tianling walked over, took a cigarette and handed it over: "Old man, smoke this,"

The old man said with a smile: "My cigarette pipe is quite good, but you are a polite young man, so I will just smoke one."

"How did you build this road?" Liu Tianling asked.

"Originally, the main road was planned, and there is no such plan for the small roads in the villages. The people in our village have suffered enough from the lack of roads, so we organized more than 200 laborers to build roads by themselves, but they are all hard hillsides. Come on, then Chief Duan saw that we couldn't do the repairs like this, and he probably sent an iron monster with a big hand in front. He was so fierce that he dug the road out in only three days. The folks are just holding hands to level it out, let’s see, this road can be driven in by such a big car as you,” the old man said happily.

"Hehe, old man, let me ask someone, where does Ma Xiaoshi live?"

The old man shook his head: "I really don't know about this,"

"I was a soldier, and I was injured in battle," Liu Tianling went on to describe.

"Oh, you're talking about black stones, you lucky bastard," said the old man.

"How can you call it luck?"

"Why don't you call it luck? When I was a soldier, I was given 30 yuan as a family allowance. When I was injured and retired, I was given two cows and arranged a job. Where can I find such a good thing? I was young. He will be better than him, and he can shoot birds with one hand."

"Hehe, where does he live? We are his comrades in arms,"

"See, go up, more than 200 meters, under the big locust tree is home, I don't know if I'm home or not,"

"Thank you old, we're going up,"

Liu Tianling, Chai Fei, and Ye Feng stepped forward, and Luo Kebian stayed behind to do coolies and watch the car. This didn't mean that the law and order was not good. There were a lot of things in the car, and the children in the village might take it.

Most of the houses in the village are mud-grass houses, with mud walls and straw roofs. Ma Xiaoshi's house under the big locust tree is no exception.

"Is there anyone at home?" Ye Feng shouted.

One by one middle-aged women said: "Who, the door is open, come in by yourself,"

The three of them entered the yard. The yard is not small, about a few hundred square meters. This is the case in this area of ​​the countryside. However, the yard of their house has its own characteristics. It is completely a real-life QQ ranch, with fenced chicken coops and duck coops to the east. , to the west is a cowshed, in which there are two and a half big cows, and five big goats.

"Are you Ma Xiaoshi's mother?" Liu Tianling asked.

"It's me, you are," Ma Xiaoshitou's mother looked at the few people in front of her who were carrying big bags and small bags like visiting relatives, but she didn't know them.

"We are Ma Xiaoshitou's comrades-in-arms, and today we are visiting relatives,"

"Haha, I thought it was a guest from somewhere, sitting in the room, sitting in the room," Ma Xiaoshitou's mother is not very old, maybe in her 40s.

Liu Tianling called him Auntie.

"Auntie, don't rush to pour water. We just ate before we came here and we are not thirsty at all. Sit down and let's talk,"

"Okay, what, my old lady is stupid," "We, firstly, want to see Ma Xiaoshitou, after all he was injured and demobilized, and secondly, we also want to know about the food that can be eaten in the village. Do you?" Liu Tianling said, sitting on the wooden pier.

"Well, it's okay for Xiao Shitou to come back from injury. His legs just work a little bit more. It's not a problem. When he left as a soldier, the family was already poor. He got better. When he was demobilized, he was paid [-] oceans. We built him a house of bricks and tiles, just to the east, and later used it for his son to marry a wife. He was rewarded with a cow for his bravery in battle, but When sending out cows, we saw two small ones, so we proposed to exchange one big one for two small ones. At that time, the troops agreed, so we changed it. Although it took a little effort, it would take three or two years grown up,"

"Hehe, my aunt is quite good at settling accounts," Chai Fei said with a smile.

"My aunt also asked about your situation. I just wondered. Our little stone couldn't fart with three sticks when he left. Why did he know how to read after half a year in the army and how to raise livestock? What about it?" Ma Shitou Niang asked.

"These are all taught in the army,"

"However, how to make the common people eat is not a difficult matter, and I understand it all,"

"You understand too," Liu Tianling looked at Ma Shitou's mother in surprise.

"Why, I still don't believe it. I used to be poor and couldn't eat because I didn't understand, but because I didn't have the conditions. Now it's different,"

"Believe you, just tell me, auntie,"

"Take our family as an example. The eldest son and the son lived separately. Now there are four people in the family, eight acres of mountain land, and another five acres of good land. The mountain land is barren and the yield is low. We plant four acres of peanuts and four acres of land. Acres of sweet potatoes, and some cowpeas, mung beans, big pumpkins and the like in the field. There was no soil and fertilizers, and the yield was too low. Now the eight mus of land is not only enough for food, but at least five or six oceans of peanuts can be sold. In addition, there is enough straw I have raised more than ten sheep, and apart from the rent and food, I can leave [-] catties of wheat per acre of land, and a thousand catties of wheat, you can eat it for a few years." Liu Tianling nodded: "That's it. It’s enough to eat and buy some things, but it’s not easy to do big things like building a house and marrying a wife.”

"That's right, the key depends on your own family. It turns out that those who raise cattle and sheep are worried, for fear that something will happen. Now it's all right. There are vigils in the village at night. Everyone takes turns to be on duty. There is no need to be afraid of losing animals. My family has a flock of chickens and ducks." , don’t underestimate these, the eggs sold are enough to buy new clothes, and in a few days, I will bring a few piglets from other people’s houses, and life will be better slowly,” Ma Shitou’s mother said happily.

"There is enough food for raising pigs," Liu Tianling asked.

"It's not that Shi Shi learned his skills from the army. Pigs only use a small amount of peanut cakes and corn, and the rest are supplemented by pumpkins and wild vegetables grown in the fields in front of the house. There is a lot of open space, and a lot of pumpkins are planted every year, so raising pigs will not be a problem," said Shitou Niang and opened the curtain to reveal a large pile of pumpkins.

In fact, Liu Tianling and Duan Xuewen have been thinking about this for a long time. The situation in the countryside is not as bad as imagined. 90.00% of the farmers still have their own land, and 90.00% of the landlords are very reasonable. Landlords like Huang Shiren are rare.

It is impossible to develop large-scale agriculture in rural areas. The most important thing is family-based agriculture, which is based on food and at the same time raises large livestock, mainly cattle, donkeys and other animals. Providing meat can also be used as an agricultural tool to improve rural productivity. As long as a virtuous cycle is formed in the countryside, farmers will not be afraid of having nothing to eat. People who grow something in front of and behind the house will not starve to death, unless there is a major natural disaster up,
