Chapter 353
Built the city?Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other.

The first thing everyone can understand is that as the supreme leader of Dizhou, everyone must be called together for a meeting to declare sovereignty or something.

The problem lies in the second, building the city.

Unlike building a city on a piece of newly developed land to absorb refugees, the benefits involved in relocation governance are too great.

What about the houses of the common people?How can the interests of those landlords, gentry and big businessmen be guaranteed?Although they only migrated to a place dozens of miles away, will there be people who are hard to leave their homeland?

Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and the ancestral graves are also around here. It is hard to say whether the people of Yiguo attach great importance to their ancestors and will not be threatened by death.

Of course, the most important thing is that Dizhou and Yanci County have no money. What kind of new city can they build without money?They don't understand why they want to move to the city?

Yue Shan knew their questions, and he had already prepared the answers.Relocating cities is different from fighting corruption. The latter can be done as long as you have a gun in your hand, while the former involves too much and requires a concerted effort.

Spread out the map of Dizhou, point to one of them and say:

"I want to move the administrative office to the vicinity of Qinghe Town for four reasons."

"First, floods. Yanci County is too close to the mouth of the Yellow River, so it encounters floods almost every year. I have read the statistics, and there are as many as a thousand people who die directly and indirectly from floods every year, and the loss of property is even more difficult to count."

"Furthermore, the floods have directly affected the development of Yanci County. How many people are willing to live in a place where floods often occur? How many businessmen are willing to come here to do business?"

"If you want to develop a city into a prosperous city, safety will always come first."

"Secondly, the food problem. Most of Yanci County, including the entire Dizhou, is saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for farming. Moreover, the water contains a lot of salt and alkali, and drinking it for a long time will lead to illness and even affect life expectancy."

Hearing that saline-alkaline water affects health and life expectancy, everyone's face could not help but change.For them, this one is more convincing than the flood just now.They are here to be officials, and they don't want to die here.

Yue Shan could guess one or two of their thoughts, smiled inwardly, and continued without showing any emotion on his face: "The Qinghe Town area has more than 500 hectares of the most fertile fertile land in Yanci and even Dizhou, so it would be better to move the government office here. The good use of this piece of fertile land. And the water quality here is relatively clean and suitable for drinking.”

"The third point is that this is the hometown of Bingsheng's grandson. Building the city here is not only a respect for the former sages, but also a hope to get the protection of Bingsheng's heroic spirit."

"Fourth, to help the people. The nine counties in Dizhou are too poor, and nine out of ten people have no food to eat. Thousands of people die of hunger and cold every year. As the parents and officials of Dizhou, we must do something for these people what."

"I am going to build a salt field here, but the salt drying work will not start until the beginning of next spring or even late spring next year. How will the people spend this half a year?"

"Giving them food directly is the next best thing to do. Not only will it fail to provide relief, but it is also easy for some people to develop a bad habit of eating too much and being lazy."

"To say something against the way of sages, people can't let them idle for too long, they will get crooked and go astray. Let them be busy, and there will be a lot less things."

"The real best strategy is to provide them with an opportunity to earn money with their own hands. In this way, the people can feed their families and the court can gain a strong city. Why not do it."

"Yuehouzhai is kind-hearted and thoughtful, and I agree with building a new city." Gan Yuanfeng said excitedly.

He is younger and more aggressive, otherwise he would not have provoked Yue Shan back then, so he would have less worries and be a little more radical in his actions.

As a mathematics expert, he is more practical, organized and meticulous in his work. He has been in Yanci County as the director for more than a month. He has personally investigated the inside and outside of Yanci County, and he knows all the data here. chest.

It is because of understanding that I understand how correct Yueshan's plan to build a new city is.As for the difficulty... what is not difficult?The current difficulties will never be more serious than starving to death.

"I have no objection, but it's a pity that I just built the academy." Yu Kexun said regretfully.

Still the same sentence, he is very clear about his identity, as a puppet, he has no decision-making power.Yue Shan's willingness to let him sit here is already the greatest respect for him, so naturally he will not object.

"Haha... It's not a pity, it's not a pity, it will take half a year for the new city to be built, during which time the academy is just in use. Besides, the people in the old city won't all migrate there, some people still have to stay here to live, the academy won't It will be wasted." Yue Shan laughed and said:

"And when the new city is built, I will build you an academy that is several times larger than the current one. All students in the whole Dizhou can come and study here."

"Is this true?" Yu Kexun asked.

"Really, everything I'm doing can testify to you." Yue Shan said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Yue Hou's new academy." Yu Kexun said happily.

Then Tian Xuechen also expressed his agreement, as Li Daoyan and Sun Renshi belonged to the military personnel, it is not appropriate to express opinions on this matter.

In fact, Li Daoyan knew about this a long time ago. Moving the city is a major event, which must be approved by the court.Yue Shan had already filed an application when he left the capital, and Li Shimin and Zhu Zaifu naturally had no reason to disagree.

So he took office with the permission of the imperial court, otherwise he wouldn't talk about moving the city as soon as he came.

On the other hand, since the court has passed a resolution on this matter, it doesn't matter whether the officials in Yanci County agree or not.Whoever dares to hold back can just kick it away, and take it down directly.

The matter of moving the city was passed.

"Moving the city is easy, but it's difficult to appease the people. I'm afraid that someone will interfere with it." Tian Xuechen said seriously.

"So this matter must be open and transparent. Write down the reasons for moving the city in detail and send someone to tell the people. I believe most people still understand the truth." Yue Shan immediately took out the countermeasures he had prepared long ago. :
"Remember that official documents should be written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It is best to write in spoken language. I will leave this matter to you, Yuanfeng."

"Here." Gan Yuanfeng got up and took orders.

"The purpose of doing this is to prevent people with ulterior motives from bewitching the people. You can't coerce the people and you can't turn the sky with just a little slapstick. I'd rather have someone who doesn't open their eyes jump out." Yue Shan sneered.

"Although we are not afraid of those rats, we have to guard against them, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter." Yue Shan turned to look at Sun Renshi and said, "General Sun, Baiqisi didn't follow this time, so the safety of this Marquis and Dizhou is up to you." I'll give it to you Dizhou Navy."

"Please don't worry, Yue Hou, as long as the last general is still there, Yue Hou and his colleagues will not be hurt by a single hair." Master Sun Ren said solemnly.

"Okay, I trust General Sun. Regarding the expansion plan of the navy, is it me or you?" Yue Shan asked Li Daoyan again.
