Chapter 439: Taiping Town in the Experimental Zone

Like last year, Liu Sheng first inspected the immigrant (refugee) camp at the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

Because for two or three consecutive years, a large number of immigrants have lived at the foot of Tianmu Mountain, ranging from a month or two to a few months, many barracks in the immigrant camps have been built into permanent buildings, and living conditions such as sanitation have also improved. good.

Although many people have been here for a long time, when Liu Sheng led his team of guards in for inspection, he did not feel any anxiety among the people.

Many people even think that the current military-controlled life is quite good and enjoy it.

Although there are soldiers from the Yi army controlling the place, and various tasks are arranged every day, as long as they are willing to work, no one will go hungry, and no one will starve to death.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Yi army were fair in their dealings, and the military and political officials would even teach children and young people how to read and calculate, and tell stories to everyone in their spare time.

Although life here is still a little harder than that of wealthy people in the past, the fair and just social environment fascinates many people.

Under this circumstance, when they learned that Liu Sheng had come to inspect, the people welcomed him very much, and even held various welcome ceremonies under the organization of the managers of each branch camp.

Due to limited conditions, the officers and soldiers of the Yi army here also knew that Liu Sheng did not like extravagance and waste, so most of the welcome ceremonies in each branch camp were based on local materials, which were simple yet lively.

Under the leadership of the two people, other Taiping Town officials also made brief speeches.

For example, some sub-camps picked a lot of summer flowers, and some sub-camps simply came to the camp to welcome them...

Therefore, Taiping Town should vigorously develop commerce. In this way, not only can the people become richer, but the court can also obtain more business taxes. "

What they said is generally similar to what Li Fuchang and Ma Gui said.

It can only be said that the development of world affairs is sometimes so unpredictable and surprising.

After Liu Sheng heard this, he looked at Ma Jinliang and asked, "Ma Jinliang, what do you think?"

Ma Jinliang, as the baron in the town and the largest real estate businessman in Dashui Pingzhai, was also summoned.

Just like he didn't expect that Dashui Pingzhai would become as prosperous as it is today in two or three years.

In fact, Liu Sheng had speculated before that Dashui Pingzhai might develop very well in the future, but he didn't expect it to develop so fast.

Li Fuchang and Ma Gui are actually quite savvy people.

This would not only allow the court to gain a certain amount of income, but also make the town's business more prosperous and stabilize housing prices, killing three birds with one stone. "

At this time, he had already learned through Xiuyiwei that Li Fuchang and Ma Gui had engaged in an "integrity storm" in Taiping Town, so after inspecting Dashui Pingzhai by the way, he also praised the two of them.

Ma Guize said: "Your Majesty, the land and housing prices in Taiping Town are now even higher than those in Ruyang City. Therefore, Wei Chen believes that our government office may be able to sell part of the vacant land under our control to businessmen for building houses.

Although it was only a year later, Ma Jinliang was still quite emotional when he saw Liu Sheng again - when Liu Sheng came to the city and kidnapped him like a passing strongman, he never imagined that one day this strongman would become The founding emperor who unified the world.

Through this inspection and some information provided by Xiuyiwei, Liu Sheng finally noticed a series of changes in Dashui Pingzhai due to its special location.

Liu Sheng was naturally very happy to see that the people in the immigration camp were in good spirits. After the inspection, he commended the generals and managers of the immigration camp.

Afterwards, he led the bodyguard group to set foot on Tianmu Mountain.

Liu Sheng naturally did not know what Ma Jinliang was feeling. He was pressed for time, so he asked directly after the meeting started: "You are all important officials in Taiping Town. You must have a deep understanding of the changes in Taiping Town in the past one or two years." , so what do you think about the future development of Taiping Town?"

Therefore, after inspecting Dashui Pingzhai, Liu Sheng summoned Li Fuchang, Ma Gui and other important officials at the Taiping Town Government Office to have a talk about the future development of Taiping Town.

Hearing this, Li Fuchang first held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Taiping Town can undergo such great changes mainly because of its trade with Liujiazhai.

Ma Jinliang said: "I will listen to your majesty."

Liu Sheng smiled and stopped asking. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Taiping Town has a convenient location, so it is certain to develop commerce. But how to develop commerce, you need to think carefully."

What Ma Gui said is selling vacant land for businessmen to build houses, which is a feasible method. But the government should not only think about making money, at least it should not only focus on the money at the front of its eyes. It should take a long-term view and put people's livelihood first, because the people are the foundation of the court.

It should be noted that businessmen's emphasis on profit is like a double-edged sword. We must not only use commerce to improve local people's livelihood and economy, but also beware of the government being tied up and used by businessmen to make policies that harm and harm the people.

Take what Ma Gui said about buying land to build houses for businessmen as an example - you think that if there are more houses in the walled city, housing prices will decrease, but have you ever thought that businessmen who buy land to build houses would be willing to do so?

They buy land and build houses just to make money, or to make a lot of money, and they will join forces to raise housing prices secretly.

Therefore, while the government is implementing this policy, it also needs to strengthen the supervision of this type of businessmen. It’s not that they shouldn’t be allowed to make money, but that housing prices shouldn’t be inflated. Do you understand? "

After listening to Liu Sheng's words, the official office became quiet for a while, but all the officials were thinking and pondering seriously...

Although Taiping Town has special significance due to the existence of Liujiazhai Fangshan Villa, and its status in Damei far surpasses many important military places, it is only a place with a radius of twenty or thirty miles after all, so Liu Sheng does not mind doing some bold things here. experimental management.

Therefore, during this meeting, Liu Sheng proposed many methods and experiences for future generations to develop people's livelihood and economy to Li Fuchang, Ma Gui and others, hoping that Taiping Town could develop well and quickly.

He is also looking forward to what Taiping Town will develop into in the future.

After staying in Taiping Town for a long time, Liu Sheng took the guard group to Liujiazhai.

In the past year, compared with the rapid economic prosperity of Dashui Pingzhai and the people building many new houses, the changes in Liujiazhai were not that big, but the walls of the village were built taller and stronger, almost like Wubao.

At the same time, many warehouses were also built to store materials sent from both sides.

After Liu Sheng arrived here, he first summoned Zhou Huamao, the general manager of Liujiazhai's affairs, Ma Wenyuan, the chief clerical manager, and Zou Runniang, who was responsible for guarding the villa and sending and receiving telegrams.

Of course, Zou Runniang, like Li Xiangyun, could only stay on the first floor of the villa and could not go up to the second floor.

The reason why Liu Sheng left the villa under the care of Zou Runniang was not that Liu Sheng had complete trust in his mother-in-law, but that he was not afraid of betrayal.

Because after he traveled through time, the most important resource he brought was actually the knowledge and insights of later generations - some of these things were in his mind, and the other part was stored in the computer hard drive of the villa.

Therefore, even if someone breaks open the alloy steel door on the first floor and goes to the second or third floors, they will at most get some tools that are of little use to Liu Sheng now.

After all, Liu Sheng now controls most of the world and has begun to establish a military industry system. Even if someone gets the tools of later generations that Liu Sheng used to raise prices, there is no way they can compete with him.

Of course, Liu Sheng had no choice but to let Zou Runniang look at the villa.

Zou Runniang is now his mother-in-law, and a few months ago she was promoted to his son's grandmother. If she is not reliable, then no one else can be called reliable...

Liu Sheng first got a general understanding of the situation in Liujiazhai with Zhou Huamao and Ma Wenyuan - Liujiazhai was very small and had not many people, so Liu Sheng finished the understanding quickly.

After the two of them retreated, Liu Sheng asked Zou Runniang, "Are there any major events in North America recently?"

Zou Runniang was a sensible woman and did not dare to act like her mother-in-law in front of Liu Sheng. After hearing this, she replied, "It's not a big deal."

Liu Sheng nodded and asked no more questions.

Because he knew very well that Zou Runniang mainly learned about news from North America through Liu Dachuan and others. Although Liu Sheng left her some mud pills that could pass through the time and space gate, the number was not large. Zou Runniang at most visited North America regularly. .

If she goes and doesn't come back, Liu Sheng will know from outside that something big has happened in North America.

Now that she is here well, it means that nothing serious has happened in North America.

As for other things, Liu Sheng already knew about them through telegrams sent every few days, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

After talking about official matters, Liu Sheng and Zou Runniang chatted about personal matters.
