Therefore, Ding Liqiu, who is currently in charge of the province's planning work, specially came to pick up the station today to communicate with the military personnel and see what countermeasures are available.

Mu Longcheng was not surprised when he heard this: "Old Ding, I have read the staff report on the situation you mentioned before, but the topic you gave is too big, and we can't handle it alone."

Having said that, Mu Longcheng picked up his glass and took a sip of wine: "If it's just a small fight around here, then I have no problem, and I will be a soldier. But you want to engage in the whole province, or take a step back from the main road If we want to suppress the bandits, we will have to go to a cabinet meeting."

At this moment, Mu Longcheng stretched out three fingers and counted: "First of all, two to three regular battalions are needed, and a large number of auxiliary troops are needed, including local troops who are familiar with the situation. A large-scale mobilization has begun, and we and Guangdong officials must mobilize."

"Secondly, a large number of shallow-draft inland river vessels are necessary, and there must be a variety of models."

"Furthermore, the UAV system and the special forces will also be mobilized. Don't underestimate the gang of water bandits hiding in the river branches and reeds. Without strong detection methods, our ordinary soldiers will suffer. "

"With so many resources mobilized, there must be a meeting."

Mu Longcheng leaned back in his chair at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "The bandits in the Pearl River Delta are very complicated, and we have never experienced this kind of situation before. So I personally suggest that this matter should not be rushed, and apply for an elite small team first." When the troops come over, they will first practice around Huangpu to sum up their experience. When the time is right and the cabinet has invested all the resources, we will reorganize."

Ding Liqiu thought about it for a while after listening, and finally nodded in agreement with Mu Longcheng's opinion: "Well, it makes sense, take it step by step. Then, I will send a telegram to apply after I go back today, and the returnee and equipment will come. , just keep an eye on it and worry about it."

"It's easy to say, anyway, I've been in Guangzhou recently, so it's no problem."

In a few words, the two finalized the plan.

Chapter 490 Situation in the Special Zone ([-])

After discussing with Mu Longcheng, Master Ding Liqiu drank another glass of wine and left.He is now the official mayor of the special zone, known as the prefect of the imperial capital in ancient times, and the overall planning work here, he is so busy every day that he doesn't touch the ground, he doesn't have so much time to chat with people.

After leaving Huangpu Port, take a boat and walk westward along the wide Pearl River, passing Changzhou Island... At this time, Changzhou Island is just a few small sand dunes, and Sun Yat-sen University Town has not yet been seen.

After 50 miles to the west, there is a noisy construction site on the south bank of the Pearl River, which is the planned special zone.

The land of the Special Economic Zone is actually separated from the city of Guangzhou in the north by the later Haizhu District.The Haizhu District of later generations is a sandbar formed by siltation, which did not exist in this era. Now there is a vast river surface between the two sides, with a light width of more than 20 miles, which can be regarded as facing each other across the sea.

There is a neat row of temporary wooden pile trestles on the shore, and now almost every trestle is lined with ships of all kinds.

Of course, even if it was a temporary trestle, it was built by the traverser engineers using a pile smasher. The strength must exceed the one built by Ming people privately, and there is no problem in loading and unloading goods manually.

At the same time as Ding Liqiu disembarked, small trolleys had lined up on each trestle, loading and unloading building materials such as stones, cement bricks.

Passing through the busy pier and dismissing all kinds of businessmen and housekeepers who came to pay their respects, it took District Chief Ding half an hour to pass through the pier and walk onto No. [-] Avenue.

Avenue [-] is the main road of the Special Economic Zone. It has not yet been named, but it will most likely be called Royal Street.In the future, when the special zone is completed and the bosses settle in, they will cut the ribbon and name it.

As the most important positioning and landmark of the new district, No. 50 Avenue has a high construction standard.Considering the needs of large-scale events and various celebrations in the future, the average width of No. 60 Avenue light has reached more than [-] meters, and the sidewalks on both sides are more than [-] meters.

Speaking of this, experienced people have already seen that, yes, No. [-] Avenue is modeled after Chang'an Avenue.But there are differences.Due to the small size of the special zone at the moment, the whole avenue is divided into two sections, one half of which is a large square, which is the dividing point between the administrative area and the commercial area.

After passing the square, there are future government offices on the left and right.Those in charge of traffic, those in charge of civil affairs, etc. each have an area for building office buildings.After the general government office area, there is a large building: on the left is the Zhongtang official residence, on the right is the parliament hall, at the end of the road, after a small square is the imperial palace.

After getting off the boat with Ding Liqiu, he didn't directly get into his special car, but let the carriage follow behind him, and he himself walked along the avenue under construction, patrolling along the way.

After half a year of hard work by 1500 people, the avenue built with the standard road construction procedures of later generations has now completed the processes of raising the foundation, compacting it, and laying the base and cushion.

Although the No. 3 Avenue, which runs from east to west and has a total length of [-] kilometers, has not yet been paved with cement, it is already ready for use.

Now Ding Liqiu is stepping on the surface of the cinder layer.

It is also impossible to temporarily replace the cement layer with the cinder layer.The several old-fashioned craft cement kilns in Taiwan were already overwhelmed to supply the whole country and the colonists, and now they have added the special zone, which is a big cement eater, and they can't produce at all.

Fortunately, Ding Liqiu also has a plan: a set of the most advanced (later county-level) rotary kiln cement production line has begun to be difficult in public relations in the kiln area. Once the first set of equipment is successfully shipped, more sets will be produced continuously in the future. shipped to Guangdong.

Cement is difficult, and steel is also difficult.The previous small electric furnaces can be maintained when the plates are not large, but in the next stage when a large number of regular factories are launched according to the standards of later generations, it will definitely not be enough.

So first of all, we need to build a blast furnace in Guangdong and repair a regular steel mill.

Thinking of these troublesome jobs, and thinking of the current situation of bandits everywhere, Ding Liqiu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly: "There is a long way to go!"

On both sides of the No. [-] Avenue business district, in some squares drawn with white lime lines, many buildings built by Ming people have already sprung up.

Of course, it is said that the natives repaired it themselves, but the blueprints, construction plans, building materials, and project supervision are all provided by the crossing people, and the fees are not high.

To put it bluntly, Mingren's boss was only responsible for paying the money and hiring construction workers, and the rest of the work was crowdsourced by Transit.As a result, a large number of imitation Chinese-style buildings with the same style were erected, following the pedestrian street route of later generations.

The main body of these buildings is red brick, and the exterior walls are painted white. They are usually two or three floors, and they are all equipped with glass windows and Chinese-style hanging corner cornices.There are shops on the side facing the street, and courtyards on the back, which is in line with the habits of Ming people.

Most of the business contents of the shops are industrial products and traditional luxury goods. To put it bluntly, it is the Champs Elysees in the seventeenth century.

Anyone who can own a store in such an expensive location is undoubtedly a big businessman or rich man.These people have all contributed to General Cao's entry into Guangdong before, and now they have been rewarded.

……

After Ding Liqiu patrolled for about one kilometer, he got into the carriage and drove towards the imperial palace at the end of the road.

During this period, he passed by the flat large square, as well as the government offices of various departments under construction, and finally, he came to the three buildings at the core of the empire, which stood in a zigzag shape.

Blocking the boulevard, the only thing facing the long street is naturally the imperial palace.

The imperial palace here is very simple, and it may look a little imposing to the Ming people, but in the eyes of the people who travel through, it is nothing more than a three-story shopping mall, and the blueprints are probably copied from the one of the big officials.

In addition, only a part of the palace is currently completed, and the rest is still under construction.

The reason for this is simple.

First, Emperor Cao, who is elusive and elusive, is basically traveling to this plane now, so he never cares about what the hotel looks like.

Second, Guangdong is currently only a temporary capital, and it will definitely be relocated in the future, so there is no need for any majestic large-scale buildings.

Third: Building materials are in short supply, and the emperor has to save money to support construction, right? Didn’t you see that the sleeves of Chongzhen’s dragon robe are all worn out?People are model workers.

In short, after adding up various reasons, this place has become a three-story shopping mall again... It is one floor higher than Dayuan's, which is not bad.

On the right side of the palace, there is a pure white building with a bit of western style, which seems to have a round or oval office.Travelers from later generations can probably tell at a glance that this thing has a three-point white house taste.

The prime minister's residence was the first to be completed, and all the steel and concrete were first used here. Even the garden behind has been planted with ornamental plants, and the old Zhongtang will give orders in it after he moves in.

There's no way, Mr. Zhongtang's house must not be sloppy, after all, this person is in charge, if the flattery is not good, there will be little shoes flying around.

The prime minister is on the right hand, so the parliament hall is naturally on the left.

Since the council hall is the place where all the crossing people fulfill their rights, it can't be sloppy either. The huge circular Colosseum-style building is the most eye-catching building in the entire special zone, and it is also the only completed building.

When Ding Liqiu's carriage arrived at the mansion, it was already nightfall.Then when he came to the circular office, he found that several people from the building entrance were here: Chen Dong, Feng Guanjie, Zheng Yangyang.

These three, together with a group of bright apprentices who usually surround them, are the technical core for designing and guiding the construction of the special zone.

In fact, while Xia Xianze was still in Taiwan, the cross-travelers who were currently staying in the special zone had already requisitioned this official residence.

After the District Chief Ding Liqiu came back, he sat at the main seat and ate a bowl of claypot rice with fish balls, then opened a bottle of aerated soda and took a few sips before chatting with several architects.

While chatting, District Chief Ding suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he slapped his head and remembered: "I said, where did Li Dazui go? Wasn't he still there before? Why did he go in this dark day?" ?”

"It's going to be demolished."

Feng Guanjie, who was discussing with a pair of architectural drawings on the coffee table, said without raising his head.Immediately afterwards, he added with a mysterious smile: "Demolition."

Chapter 491 Li Dazui

Under the bright moonlight, there is a longan forest on the top of a low hill, mixed with some podocarpus pines.

Wearing a coquettish floral shirt, standing in front of the woods, posing in a pose, and using night vision goggles to look down at the village below, it was Li Dazui, the deputy head of the district with a short hairstyle.

The next moment, he spat out the cigarette butt, and waved his hand coldly: "Go."

Before he could finish speaking, a large number of black figures appeared from the woods behind him.These black shadows moved swiftly and silently, armed with various tools, and spread like quicksilver towards the village not far from their feet.

……

Li Dazui, an unattractive, middle-aged greasy man.This brother traveled very short time, less than a year so far, and was one of the last few travelers who came to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Dazui's qualifications are not high, and he doesn't have any skills that are scarce in the new world, so theoretically speaking, it was not his turn to be the deputy district chief.

But Dazui still came, and he came without any obstacles.

All this starts with his special relationship with Emperor Cao.

Before that, Li Dazui was a writer of online novels. A little earlier, this gentleman had wholesaled slippers, and it would have been impossible to verify it a long time ago.

The reason why Dazui is a bit special is because he is the only one who "actively" participated in the great cause of crossing—Brother Dazui realized and discovered Emperor Cao's secret in advance.

Mind you, he was still in the old world at the time.

No one knows the detailed process of that incident, and the parties concerned kept it secret, but just a little bit of peripheral information leaked out is also very thrilling: Li Dazui discovered the secret of Emperor Cao by chance, but he did not disclose the matter , and did not ask the emperor to extort tens of billions... probably because Wen Qing fell ill when he was a writer on the street, so he went directly to Emperor Cao to cross, and brought all the secrets to the new world.

Of course, Li Dazui took a great risk in doing this, because he didn't know what was waiting for him behind the gate of time and space, a brave new world?Thirty thousand feet?Boiling steel furnace? 500 open crossbows, my lord, will you kill me or not?

In the end, he made the right bet. Instead of turning himself into a Terminator who threw himself into the frying pan, he officially became a member of Chuangui, earning himself and his descendants a foundation of fellowship with the country.

After Li Dazui traveled through, he actually revealed his true colors very quickly. This guy is a strong talker who can't do anything. He usually has nothing good to do except flooding the forum. This is why he The reason why he was quickly nicknamed Li Dazui.

However, there must be blessings to survive a catastrophe.Because of the aforementioned relationship with Emperor Cao, Li Dazui is naturally different from other dicks.

After he crossed, Emperor Cao not only held hands to introduce to everyone, "This is my brother", but also specially approved "several boxes" of personal supplies for Li Dazui, quite like a king standing shoulder to shoulder.

As a result, Li Dazui became an "indescribable" person overnight, and people all kept "polite smiles" on him. Even Xia Zhongtang didn't dare to make a mistake: Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want.

In the end, after a year of being idle, Li Dazui finally felt that he wanted to do something for the new world.So after he posted the last group mocking post on the broken LAN forum, he came to Guangzhou, ready to do something.

I don't want to think this is the right time.At that time, it happened to be demolished in the Special Economic Zone. Originally Ding Liqiu didn't intend to let him do this kind of hard work, but who knew that Dazui volunteered to face the difficulties-his old house in the old world was demolished because of delays in development. So I couldn't be the second generation of dismantling, so I was full of resentment. Now I can finally play the role of savior and dismantle others.

The demolition work in the special zone is still very heavy.The first phase of the project planned at the beginning has a total area of ​​20 square kilometers. If the official land is not counted, there are more than a dozen villages that have been demolished on the spot.

In the seventeenth century, the area outside Fucheng was undoubtedly all agricultural land.The demolition of so much agricultural land will naturally encounter obstacles, because the vast majority of Ming people do not understand that set of policies, they only know one thing: someone will take away the land they have depended on for generations.

This undoubtedly triggered a series of conflicts, and then Li Dazui started the process of fighting everywhere.

Speaking of the demolition policy, when I was in Taiwan before, the traveler had no experience in demolition in the [-]th century, and they all took the local natives by force, and then considered compensation.

The current experience in Guangzhou was summed up during the demolition of Jiangnan Master Xiong. The conditions are quite generous, because there is no shortage of money in the crossing.

If the demolition households are willing to sell the land, the purchase price here will not only exceed the local average level, but the demolition households will also arrange jobs and temporary housing for the whole family, and provide subsidies.

Those who do not want to sell the land will not lose money, as long as they cooperate with the demolition and receive a part of the demolition fee, the farmland will be replaced with valuable shops or houses in the downtown area according to the same area in the future.In short, the contract must be generous, and there are no traps. The landlord becomes a charterer, and the income is guaranteed in drought and flood.

However, many local landlords just don't cooperate.Because in the eyes of Ming people, selling the land that has been cultivated for generations is undoubtedly a short-sighted and stupid move-Ming people have no concept of modern cities in their minds, and they really cannot accept that a piece of good land has become a low-income merchant.

As a result, the SAR government had no choice but to purchase land in other places first, and then exchanged it with the land deed.

This trick, combined with local recruitment and explanations from relevant stakeholders, can be considered to have settled some people. After all, the area of ​​​​the land that has been exchanged must be larger than the original one, which is tantamount to added value.

As for the remaining diehards, there is no other way, close the door and let Li Dazui go.

You must know that this is Guangdong, where the Emperor Shan Gao is far away. The power of the crossing people here is sufficient.

And then the diehards are out of luck.In just a few months, the wealthy rural landowners who had no news at all and didn't even know who Cao Zongbing was, all learned about it one after another.

As a result, the land acquisition work in the special zone was finally carried out smoothly.The land required for the first phase of the project has been in place one after another, and a vigorous construction tide has begun.Today, Li Dazui brought people to demolish it, which was the last place of resistance in the first phase of the project.

The village under his feet is called Chen Shi Village, which is composed of two families named Chen and Shi, with a total population of about 800 people.

Prior to this, the relatively small Shi clan in the village had already signed a demolition contract, and the whole clan withdrew from the village.A small number of them went to Taiwan to buy land and properties, and most of them stayed in the new area and got new jobs, doing work for the cross-travelers.

The rest of the Chen family would rather die than retreat, and became the last bastion against Cao's bandits.

The next moment, Li Dazui spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and waved his hand coldly: "Go."

Accompanied by his words, a large number of black-clothed people rushed towards Chenshi Village... the surrounding area below the low hill with various tools.

There are rice fields, lychee forests, and mulberry fish ponds.

Chapter 492 Ancestral Hall

If you want to kill a tree, you don't need to chop it with a big axe, you just need to peel off the bark of the trunk part - the nutrient delivery channel is cut off, and the crown will die soon.

This method is especially useful for commercial crops such as lychees, because many people do not need to cut down trees and go back to fire.So that night, the fruit trees in the lychees outside Chenshi Village were processed in the same way, and the lychees that were about to mature would no longer grow ripe.

Next is the fish pond.This one is much simpler and only requires a sudden change in the pH of the pond to kill the fish.On this point, Master Xiong from Jiangnan has rich experience.At that time, under his leadership, the research group tested the tolerance relationship between a variety of commonly used chemicals and pond fish, and achieved rich scientific research results.

So bags of white powder were scattered into the surrounding fish ponds.In addition, the mulberry trees surrounding the fish pond did not escape the catastrophe, and all of them were stripped of their bark.

Finally, rice fields.

There is no way to do this in the rice field, so we can only choose the most labor-intensive method, roll up your trouser legs, and go in with a long-handled sickle to cut randomly.Fortunately, destruction is always easier than construction. A row of people with long knives cut around and stomped on things, and they did things without bending their waists. The efficiency was very fast.

At dawn, when the early risers of Chenshi Village came out of the village with their hoes on their shoulders, they found that all the fish in the pond had turned white. After a beauty exfoliation, the white and tender circle behind the bark was revealed.

With a "puff", the people sat on the ground and the sky collapsed.

……

Chenshi Village, Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

The old Chen family ancestral hall was renovated only the year before last. The beams and columns that have been painted several times stand there calmly. With the long woodcut couplets and the raised plaque beside the door, it exudes majesty everywhere.

In today's ancestral hall, almost all the men of the Chen family were present.
