"In terms of industrial construction, Minister Yan, I told you before that there are five industrial zones, Dihua Industrial Zone, Jincheng, Chang'an Industrial Zone, Taiyuan Industrial Zone, and Sichuan Industrial Zone."
"These five industrial zones must make every effort to promote social development and strive to industrialize all ten provinces under our control within three years."
"Develop animal husbandry in Ninh, Qinghai, and Tibet provinces, and develop mountain breeding in mountainous areas. Development based on local conditions will ensure the improvement of the living standards of our army and people."
Yan Baichuan kept recording Zhang Yunhan's development directions in his notebook.
"Director Zheng."
"In terms of government affairs, we don't have any big problems at the moment, but I have to give you a task."
"That is, the number of immigrants from Sichuan Province to the Western Region will be about 2 to 3 million."
Zheng Lian:? ? ?
The work pressure suddenly increased. So many people immigrated to the Western Region. This is not a small number. The local population of the Western Region is only 3 million, and the immigrants are 3 million. What are they doing?
"Immigration is, on the one hand, to develop heavy industry in the Western Region. A large number of laborers can quickly develop the local economy. On the other hand, it is to stabilize the border."
Zhang Yunhan gave Zheng Lian a look, and Zheng Lian understood instantly. If the local residents in the Western Regions join Sichuan Province, the largest number of residents will be Sichuan residents, and the border defenses will be strengthened to repel the ideological invasion of Lao Maozi.
"In addition, all provinces have begun to build railways. The General Administration of Railways plans routes and repairs or rebuilds original railways according to existing standards. Industrial development is inseparable from transportation."
"By the way, how long will it take for the railway from Jincheng to Dihua to be completed?"
"Commander-in-Chief, this railway will be completed by the end of the year."
"Well, it seems that those old prisoners did a good job."
"Director Zheng, plan to build an expressway based on the current highway."
"Forehead?"
Zheng Lian's brain is on standby. What is a highway? Run faster?
Zhang Yunhan slapped his forehead and forgot that his men didn't know about highways yet.
"A highway is a road that has no intersections and is equipped with separation zones and interchanges or ramps."
"You can think of it as a railway network. In a short period of time, the railways will be temporarily unavailable for the development and construction of our northwest. However, we have strong automobile manufacturing capabilities. Using trucks, we can quickly transport materials and equipment to various places. local and develop local economies.”
Zheng Lian made it clear: "I understand, it is to use roads with no forks or very few branches to connect various cities, so that we can use our truck transportation capabilities to transport the minerals and equipment we need to various places."
"Commander-in-Chief, you are truly a genius."
In fact, highways were born a long time ago, but countries did not pay much attention to them, and Zhang Yunhan was going to be ahead of other countries in advance.
What did you say? If you want to be rich, build roads first!
"One last thing, Chang'an's development plan."
"Director Zheng, the Chang'an area must be modernized on the basis of the original ancient city. Remember, the historical and cultural legacy of Chang'an must not be destroyed."
"This city must be vigorously constructed. The future capital of the world will be in Chang'an."
After the Northwest Military and Political Conference, the Northwest Military Government electrified the whole country, established the Northwest People's Autonomous Government, and moved government agencies to Chang'an.
…
Jincheng Industrial Zone
People coming and going on the streets of the industrial area are workers from nearby factories, most of whom are wearing blue factory uniforms.
Due to the government's continuous development of agriculture and the workers' benefits stipulated by law, workers' benefits are now extremely high. The workers' nutrition has kept up, and their faces have a healthy red color.
Workers working here earn 16 to 33 yuan a month, enough to support a family.
Gansu Province, which has always been a deserted land in the minds of Chinese people, has gradually become a representative of development, industry and advancement in recent years.
Due to the industrial development of the northwest military government, the population began to increase dramatically, and with it came security problems.
But Zhang Yunhan promulgated the law long ago, and those who seriously disrupt social order will be shot on the spot. If they cause trouble in public places and disobey the administrator, they will be directly dragged to build roads. This series of measures has eliminated almost any trace of this unhealthy trend, greatly improving the public security and atmosphere in the industrial area.
In fact, there are not many people messing around, most of them are gangsters and hooligans. Zhang Yunhan doesn't tolerate them. He just drags them away to build roads. Those who violently attack patrol policemen and government officials can be shot.
With the strong support of Zhang Yunhan's industrial development policy and equipment support, it also attracted many domestic technical talents to seek development in this desolate land in the northwest.
Opposite the industrial area is a leisure place for workers to rest. Taverns and restaurants are open everywhere.
Workers who are tired after work or come here with friends on their days off to cook a few side dishes and drink a few glasses of wine are also one of the joys of life.
At noon on weekends, "Youjia Restaurant" is as popular as usual. The small restaurant was full of people shouting and shouting, punching each other, talking and laughing.
In a corner nearby, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a blue uniform was reading a newspaper, which was the Northwest Daily published by the Northwest Army.
"Zhang Wen! Zhang Wen! Look, the commander-in-chief has started recruiting troops!!"
The middle-aged man excitedly pulled away from Zhang Wen, who was still drinking.
"Old Hong, it's all in vain for you to see this. Do you still want to go to the front line to fight?" A companion at the table next to him joked with a smile.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore. Age is not forgiving, but the eldest boy in my family can do it. He will be sixteen this year," Lao Hong thought carefully and said.
"Come on, my great intellectual, I don't know the temper of that idiot in your family. He will definitely cause trouble if he joins the army."
"When I was young, I often took eggs from Lao Zhang's family. Because of this, you and Lao Zhang even had a bad time."
"That's why I want to send him to the army. The commander-in-chief's team is the real team. It is much stronger than the Bald Army in the south and other miscellaneous troops."
"Look at them. When soldiers come to the city, they basically buy and sell at a fair price. How can anyone buy or sell by force?" Lao Hong said with emotion.
"This is the reason." Lao Zhang next to him also nodded.
"But after your boy graduates, he can also work in the arsenal. The salary there is much higher than here, at least 40 yuan a month."
Lao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "I want him to go too, but to enter the arsenal, you have to take an exam, verify your identity, and sign a confidentiality agreement. It's very troublesome."
"What's the point? If you sign the agreement, you will have an iron job. You will be guaranteed for the rest of your life. I heard that the identity verification is to detect spies. What do farmers like us who have been here for decades afraid of? Next year you will When the boy graduates, call him as soon as possible."
