Chapter 66 Population Explosion?Make a spectacle!
Mia and Bage have helped Chang'an a lot.

In addition to the iron armor and shields that Barger brought back last time, as well as the weapons produced by the Ordnance Division, it basically solved the supply problem of weapons and equipment for Chang'an's subsequent military expansion.

The key is not to charge money.

The total amount of goods is as high as [-] gold coins, which is enough to keep the glass factory, candle factory and other factories busy for a long time.

It also solved the sales problem of the factory in disguise.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The problem is that in the face of the rapid expansion of the population, Chang'an faces far more governance problems than these.

After Mia left, Tang Jing presided over a new round of government affairs meeting in the Lord's Mansion, summed up the work of the Lord's Mansion in the previous stage, and discussed and planned the next stage of work at the same time.

Focus on discussing the arrangements after the population explosion.

Yao Bo, Secretary of the Department of Labor, was the first to speak, "The Department of Labor is conducting a preliminary screening of new arrivals according to categories such as artisans, craftsmen, farmers, and fishermen."

"At the same time, centralized management is carried out according to the general categories, and artisans are given priority to work in the city."

As for farmers, fishermen, etc., they can only help out with some hard work in the city, and after the war with the Aztec Alliance is over, they will be distributed to villages and towns.

This is undoubtedly a very smart approach.

There are more than 30 new citizens, and it is really necessary to register them one by one. I don't know how long it will be busy.It can only be roughly screened first, and after the follow-up is stabilized, the household registration procedures will be completed.

"How do you guarantee room and board?" Tang Jing asked.

"After the classification of the major categories, if employment can be arranged, the receiving unit will arrange board and lodging by itself. For those who cannot be arranged temporarily, a collective stove will be set up with 500 people as a unit."

"If you live here, you really don't have this condition right now."

"The only way to give priority to the existing tents and empty houses is to give priority to the elderly, children, women, and patients. The remaining young and middle-aged men can only sleep on the streets for the time being."

Although Chang'an is already undergoing large-scale construction, time is limited after all.

"The Construction Department, can you adjust the construction plan and start the construction of all residential areas? These young and middle-aged men are all free labor." Tang Jing looked at Zheng Yimin, the Secretary of the Construction Department.

"It can be, but it will affect the construction progress of other construction sites."

The task of the construction department is still very heavy.

It is necessary to help glass factories, paper mills, etc. to build supporting living areas, and to build planned residential areas, commercial areas, and military and administrative office areas, as well as roads, parks, bell towers and other supporting facilities.

The daily production capacity of brick and tile kilns is fixed.

The construction of more residential areas will be started, and the construction of commercial areas, bell towers, etc. will be delayed.

There is no need to build new brick and tile kilns temporarily. When Chang'an City is completed, these brick and tile kilns will be idle. It is already planned ahead of time.

"That won't work!" Tang Jing shook his head.

The construction of residential areas is of course important, but commercial areas and office areas cannot be left behind.

"How about this."

"Construct the super-large residential area near Tonghua Gate according to the standards of wooden and stone dwellings. It's a big deal. When the conditions are right in the future, it will be demolished and rebuilt." Tang Jing is very bold.

It is not a problem for the newly added citizens to sleep on the streets all the time.

For a long time.

Not only is it easy to get sick, but it also breeds a lot of public security problems.

"Ok!"

Zheng Yimin nodded in response, "If this is the case, the Construction Department can absorb about [-] citizens."

"Thirty thousand..."

That's a lot, but less than one-tenth of the newly added citizens.

Tang Jing looked at Zhao Feng, the director of the Commercial Department. The latter understood, stood up and said, "Although the glass factory is completed and put into operation, the workers have been trained in advance, and we can only absorb another 5000 people at most."

It is a drop in the bucket.

"Then is there any solution?" Tang Jing asked.

"some."

As a secretary, it is of course impossible for Zhao Feng to just ask questions.

"In addition to finding ways to add more factories and workshops, the best way is to vigorously develop service industries such as catering, retail, culture and entertainment, which can provide a large number of jobs."

As the tertiary industry, the service industry plays an absolutely important role.

However, in Chang'an today, there is little business and almost no service industry. From another perspective, it also has more potential for development.

"That is to say, we still want to invite players to invest and do business in Chang'an?" Tang Jing's eyes were inexplicable.

If I remember correctly.

When Zhao Feng first took office, he made the same suggestion.

"It's not just players." Zhao Feng didn't change his face, "For the aborigines who have that skill and are willing to open a shop, the territory is of course treated equally."

"Then start with the aborigines first, and then consider attracting foreign investment."

As a lord, Tang Jing naturally prefers the aborigines, and he doesn't want to say that many businesses in Chang'an City are taken over by players, which in turn squeezes the aborigines' promotion channels.

That's never a good thing.

"Ok."

Zhao Feng hesitated for a while, but still did not refute.

After turning around, the problem of how to make good use of the new labor force has not been well resolved.

"Do you have any other good ideas?" Tang Jing glanced around.

"cough."

Sun Zhongda, the director of the Department of Agriculture, finally spoke, and said, "My lord, the beach of Playing Water Bay is long enough to allow the establishment of a salt farm, which will add a new industry to the territory."

He has done fieldwork.

"Sun Sizheng's proposal is good. It can be started after the war. But the question is, what should we do now?" With the imminent war, all the citizens were forced to move into Chang'an City, and agricultural activities could not be carried out at all.

More than [-] people are crowded in the city, so they can't eat dry food every day, can they?
"My lord, I have an idea."

Zheng Yimin spoke again, "Is it possible to start the excavation and construction of artificial lakes, moats, and canals in due course? This is not affected by the supply of bricks and tiles."

As a majestic city, Chang'an City cannot have a water system in the city.

Both the inner city and the outer city are planned to have moats, and the inner and outer moats are connected by water canals, and several artificial lakes are used as reservoirs to form a water network through the city.

Wells can only meet domestic water needs.

Handicraft workshops such as garden irrigation, wine making, vinegar making, etc., especially industrial water, still mainly draw water from rivers, and wells cannot meet the demand.

Can only temporarily make do with it.

At the same time, the water system and water network combined with green vegetation can also well adjust the climate in the city, increase air humidity, beautify the environment, and even develop business, tourism and entertainment projects along the river.

There are many benefits.

Due to the shortage of labor force, the construction department has not had time to start related projects.

Now is the time.

"this is okay!"

Tang Jing's eyes also brightened, and he cast an appreciative look at Zheng Yimin.

Still have the drive to pull it out by himself.

"Has the Financial Secretary figured out how much money to inject into Chang'an Bank?" Tang Jing asked again.

As the population increased, so did the expenditure.

In order to maintain the liquidity of the entire financial system, it is naturally necessary to continue to inject capital.

Otherwise mobility is limited.

Zheng Dingmei, the financial secretary, answered solemnly, "Fifty thousand gold coins."

"so little?"

Tang Jing was slightly surprised.

"The Department of Commerce also reported just now that although the population of the territory has skyrocketed, the formal employment that Chang'an City can absorb is actually extremely limited, and the corresponding salary increase is also limited." Ding Mei explained.

For example, the young and middle-aged people temporarily recruited by the construction department do not need to be paid, and they can just take care of their meals.

Hear this.

Zhao Feng's eyes twitched for a moment, feeling that there was something in Ding Mei's words.

"Let's inject one hundred thousand."

Tang Jing is not pretending to be generous. "The Department of Commerce wants to encourage the development of catering, retail and other service industries. The demand for loans is bound to surge. Chang'an Bank has more funds, and there is no harm."

It is one thing to prefer the aborigines, and he also sincerely hopes that Chang'an's service industry will improve.

"it is good."

The lord insisted, and Ding Mei did not object.

.........

At the end of the government affairs meeting, Tang Jing did two things.

The first is to post acquisition information on the market, planning to purchase various factory architectural drawings for a long time at the price of "three third-level crystal nuclei + one thousand gold coins".

Hope to enrich Chang'an's industrial projects and increase employment.

after that.

It is the elf Mia who is still staying in the city, please go to the study
