This time, not only chieftains and businessmen from all over the country came to attend the press conference, but Lu Zhendong and Chen Ping also came.
Because there are things that need to be reported.
Moreover, they also received an invitation from Lin Bai.
After all, Lu Zhendong is the top leader in Guinan. He is a talented person who plans to promote greenhouse technology, but he is lazy. He will report any situation in various places to Guiling as soon as possible, so this burden naturally has to be shouldered by the other party.
At this moment, Lu Zhendong was also shocked.
There is no way, this is indeed too subversive for ancient people, even the governor is no exception.
But he reacted quite quickly.
He looked at Lin Bai and said, "Sir, can this... can these things be promoted?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Bai.
A look of great longing.
Luo Xingchen couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, the new city should also be promoted, right? It can't just be Banzhou!"
"Yes! We can do it over there too."
"..."
Many toasts were echoing.
Obviously, these guys are jealous and excited.
Just kidding, after seeing the changes in Banzhou, how can you not be jealous?
Mrs. Song became even more proud when she saw this, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you suspect my uncle before?"
"Mrs. Song misunderstood. How can we not believe Mr. Lin? They are all rumors."
"Yes! Those rumors have deceived everyone."
All the chieftains laughed and looked pleased.
No matter what era, if you have breasts, you are a mother.
In just two months, the great talent has brought about earth-shaking changes in Banzhou. How could these chieftains not be moved and try their best to fawn over him?
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Everyone, the reason why I invited you here is to promote greenhouse technology. However, this technology also depends on your own support..."
In order to integrate the southwest and complete the great integration of ethnic groups, some things cannot be given to these people in vain.
Of course it can't be too obvious.
Lin Bai wanted to place people among the major chieftains, and he would give priority to those chieftains who were obedient and close to the court, so that the changes would be subtle and gradual.
"As for the promotion of the new city, it must be done step by step. The construction of Bozhou has not been completed yet..."
As I said before, industry is the foundation.
New cities need to be built, but they should not be spread too widely.
In fact, Lin Bai had studied during this period. Major industries have begun to operate, and it is not a problem to start the construction of several new cities at the same time in the southwest.
However, he is not ready to do so for the time being, there is no need.
Moreover, he had other plans.
Everyone felt a little regretful, but it was hard to say anything, not to mention that greenhouse technology was not without its benefits, and for such a large project as the construction of a new city, the imperial court could not invest so much money.
The only thing to blame is that I had doubts before, otherwise I could have competed with Banzhou.
The chieftains had no idea that the imperial court had not paid a penny.
They are all land purchase money from businessmen.
Plus the Yang family’s own money.
A group of businessmen were obviously not interested in paying attention to this at the moment. They were all busy asking about the prices of vegetables and thinking about the profits.
Greenhouses are currently only available in Banshu. It would definitely be a good deal to sell these vegetables to the surrounding areas.
Off-season fruits and vegetables, really rare items.
Taking advantage of the fact that greenhouse technology has not yet become popular, it is bound to make a lot of money.
The scene was extremely heated.
Lin Bai smiled, not to mention the vegetable farmers, they were all nearby people, and they were all smiling from ear to ear at this moment.
After all, this is all money!
Xiao Buyi maintained order on the side and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is just one of the greenhouse bases. There are many other greenhouse bases in Bozhou, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables will be on the market one after another..."
Seeing the carts of fruits and vegetables being transported, all the toasts subconsciously swallowed.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Everyone, let's not delay them and go back to the Yamen!"
At this time, Luo Xingchen suddenly said, "Master Lin is indeed the most talented person in the world. These fruits and vegetables are simply incredible."
"But is this move inappropriate?"
"The common people can't even sell the fruits of the season. Now that Master Lin is so shocked, wouldn't it be even more difficult to survive?"
The tone was a bit sinister.
I said before that after Lin Bai rejected the promotion of Xincheng, this guy felt a little uncomfortable.
To be exact, the last time the chieftain rebelled, it was he who called him the most cheerful.
Lin Bai was not surprised. According to Kuang Zhiwei, Shuidong Luo was secretly growing Tianzhu hemp, and it was strange that he didn't hate himself after he caught him.
He immediately smiled and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Luo?"
Luo Xingchen showed a look of astonishment, "Mr. Lin, you don't know? This is a major event for the people in the southwest. The weather has been good this year, and the fruit farmers have an excellent harvest. However, this has also resulted in a large amount of fruit that cannot be sold and can only rot on the trees. , or die at home, causing heavy losses..."
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know.
Then he looked at Lu Zhendong and asked, "Is this the case?"
Lu Zhendong replied: "Sir, it is true that the weather in the southwest is better this year, and the fruit farmers have a good harvest, but it has also resulted in a large amount of unsalable fruit..."
"Why not transport it to Jiangnan and other places?"
As soon as he asked Lin Bai, he realized that it was unnecessary.
This era was no better than later generations. The journey on the road was too slow, and the weather in Guinan was warm, so the fruits were very easy to rot. It was probably all rotten before they reached Jiangnan.
There would be no traders trafficking in these.
And if the harvests of fruit farmers in the entire southwest are good, that means there is no place to sell them.
It can only rot on the tree.
But there is nothing we can do about it, due to the limitations of the times.
Lin Bai asked: "Is the problem serious?"
Lu Zhendong nodded, "It's a bit serious. There are official letters from all over the country. I hope the Yamen can find a solution, but it's a pity..."
Mrs. Song said: "The fruit harvest is good, but the sales are unsalable. What can be done?"
Everyone was also talking about it.
really! There is nothing the yamen can do about this kind of thing!
The life of the common people is already difficult. It is good to have enough to eat. There are not many people who eat fruits. However, the cost and decay on the road when transporting to other places are worse than rotting on the trees, so...
Lin Bai looked at the crowd and asked, "Are there any fruit farmers among you? Is this the same?"
At this time, two fruit farmers came out, "Come back... Sir, it's the same with the grassroots families, but after the construction of the new city started, we found work in the new city, so we didn't care about the trees anymore."
Luo Xingchen said: "Bozhou New City is under construction, there are so many factories, and there are a lot of workers. You don't care, but the people in other places can't get through it."
This is a bit misleading, but it is also true.
At this time, several government officials suddenly came in a hurry.
Yang Shaoying saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
The leading yamen officer quickly replied: "Sir, the yamen is surrounded by people. They are all fruit farmers from all over the southwest. They all said they want to see Mr. Lin, hoping that Mr. Lin can help them, saying that they can't survive."
