Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 72 Listen to Master Zhao and follow Master Zhao
"I am willing to follow Mr. Zhao!"

"I am also willing to follow Mr. Zhao!"

"..."

The crowd immediately boiled up.

"Follow Master Zhao!"

"Chemical marketing is a strong family!"

At the beginning, some people shouted chaotically, but soon they gathered into one slogan, and the voice was loud.

The dejected expressions on people's faces were swept away, the eyes were bright again, and the hanging heart was temporarily put in their stomachs.

The common people have a conscience.

Ordinary people are definitely not stupid, not stupid.

On the contrary, they all knew it in their hearts.

Who made them eat well, who made them wear warm clothes, who made them get rid of abject poverty and live a good life.

At critical moments, they vote with their feet.

Strongland is where they were born and raised.

But in order to have a full stomach, wear warm clothes, and live a good life.

If Master Zhao leaves, they are willing to follow Master Zhao.

"So, we don't have to leave the strong land, and we can still follow Mr. Zhao?"

Uncle Lai Gen asked.

"Of course!"

Zhao Cheng's answer was very decisive.

"Uncle Lai Gen, you are the director of the street office, and I have a task for you.

You go to school and invite two good writers, who write beautifully, to paint two lines on the wall.

One sentence is 'a strong family in chemical marketing and marketing',
Another sentence is 'Listen to Master Zhao's words and follow Master Zhao. '

For these two sentences, we need to brush up some places.

In the mound square, it must be painted; at the entrance of the strong place, it must be painted.

Let everyone see it at any time, so that everyone can rest assured.

Let everyone know that the strong ground is still Mr. Zhao's strong ground, and it is still the strong ground of our strong people! "

"Hey! Good!"

Uncle Laigen agreed excitedly, feeling that his bones were a little lighter, and took a deep puff of the cigarette.

Listen to Master Zhao's words and follow Master Zhao...

Hey!This is refreshing to hear!
As long as the strong ground is still Mr. Zhao's strong ground, then everything is easy to talk about!

Everyone is relieved.

"My lord, just now you said that Qiangdi will build several workshops and recruit workers immediately.

May I ask, is the payment of food and wages for work done in money or food stamps? "

someone asked out loud.

The crowd fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Zhao Cheng.

"Do you want to distribute money and food or food coupons?" Zhao Cheng asked with a smile.

"Of course I want food stamps!"

"That's right! We all want food stamps, not money!"

"Distribute food stamps, my lord!"

The crowd was noisy and shouting.

Zhao Cheng smiled.

How long does it take?

Everyone has forgotten that food stamps are essentially just a piece of paper, which cannot be eaten or drunk.

Because the value of food stamps has been hyped up.

The supply and marketing cooperatives only accept food stamps, and the things in the supply and marketing cooperatives are too scarce.

The value of food stamps will inevitably be briefly hyped up.

Zhao Cheng had thought of this at the beginning.

This is a process in which he promoted food stamps and then banknotes.

"Okay! Then listen to everyone and distribute food stamps.

And we insist on introducing a minimum food and salary standard. Working in these workshops, the minimum monthly income should not be less than 300 yuan. "

With Zhao Cheng's words, the whole square exploded.

"Great!"

"The monthly income of these workshops is not less than 300 yuan? Are they all food stamps? I want to sign up!"

"I want to sign up too!"

"..."

The next moment, people rushed forward like crazy, and started scrambling to sign up.

"Everyone, don't be in a hurry. Go back today, and the registration will officially start tomorrow."

Zhao Cheng shouted with a loudspeaker.

Uncle Laigen also took out the loudspeaker and shouted to tell everyone what to do!
Those who should work, hurry back to work.

The crowd finally dispersed.

Zhao Cheng started planning.

money!
What is most lacking now is money.

Fortunately, these days after he left, hundreds of loggers cut down a large number of logs and piled them up like hills in the warehouse.

As a price, a forest in Qiangdi area was cut down.

The terrain around Xuanfu is all small mountain circles, and there are cultivated land in the mountain circles.

Originally, the foothills of this circle of mountains were covered with forests.

Going bare now.

All the loggers were in high spirits.

Because they all made money.

Compared with before, they could not eat enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Now they can eat enough and wear warm clothes.

They have lived a happy life that they never dared to dream of before.

As for the woods that have been cut down, there are only bare tree stumps left, like tombstones...

No one thinks about it.

Only Zhao Cheng's heart was slightly heavy.

The destructive power of human beings to nature is really huge.

Especially in the form of official appeals, with one order, an ecology can be easily destroyed.

This mountain forest has existed since ancient times, and the years can no longer be counted.

After being cut down this time, there will be no more...

Cutting down trees on a large scale is really not sustainable.

This is just a small strong land, and the damage caused is already shocking.

What about the whole country, or the whole world?

Zhao Cheng shivered slightly.

He is aware of the pressure and responsibility of being a ruler.

"Destructive development first, and then protection and governance after development... Sure enough, you can't escape this vicious circle!"

Zhao Cheng sighed lightly.

He knew the destructive consequences of this would be severe.

Months of logging, possibly decades, will not recover.

However, Zhao Cheng did not dare to stop.

At least, don't dare to stop right now.

He is short of money!
In this treacherous late Ming Dynasty, if it fails to develop rapidly, the consequences will be even more dire.

Natural disasters continue, plagues are rampant, thieves are everywhere, Tartars hold customs, and slaughter living things...

The population of Ming Dynasty has decreased sharply in the past ten years.

Zhao Cheng has read the relevant information, and the statistics of various parties are different.

One of the more credible statistics shows that the population of Daming during the reign of Chongzhen was about 5000 million.

After experiencing the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the taming of the subjects during the Shunzhi period, in the early years of Kangxi, the statistical population was 2000 million.

The figure of 2000 million only counts males. If females, slaves, and refugees are included, the population should be around 5000 million.

Population plummeted by [-] million...

This is absolutely shocking.

Every time Zhao Cheng reads history, when he reads Wuhu Luanhua, the end of Song Dynasty, the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, and the end of Ming Dynasty, his teeth itch with hatred.

Now, he is in the middle of history and has the opportunity to change this tragic history, of course, to speed up the development.

Destroying the environment is out of the question for now.

He won't stop harvesting trees until large-scale factories pick them up.

This is a very important source of income for him at present.

At night, Zhao Cheng sold the trees he had hoarded in the past few days at once.

The amount of the system wallet has reached more than [-] million.

rich!
Zhao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and began to stare at the factory equipment.
