Chapter 81 Future Situation
This powerful dose of medicine given by He Xi left Luo Shengdong in a state of pale face and daze for a long time. During the process, a crew member came over to report the speed and course to him, but he just waved his hand to signal the crew to leave. , didn’t even say a word.
What He Xi did was indeed a very risky act. If Luo Shengdong was not mentally tough enough, then his words might have the opposite effect and make his fear of factory guards even more serious. But He Xi firmly believes that great efforts can produce miracles. Combining Luo Shengdong's actual personal situation, predicting the future domestic situation of the Ming Dynasty through spoilers should be the most direct and effective way to break his psychological barriers. This is what he is starting to do. I came to the conclusion after staying up late for several days with some guys who like to study psychology.
Of course, the more critical thing is that He Xi must have preliminary information about the factory guards when he arrives in Yazhou, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to his subsequent underground work. Although He Xi firmly believes that his professional quality is much higher than that of his peers in this era, the most important thing in this industry is not to make mistakes. One mistake may cause lifelong harm, and the most basic way to avoid making mistakes is to master enough information, so that Only then will there be no misjudgments when decisions need to be made.
It wasn't until the boat was about to sail into Nanshan County that Luo Shengdong took the initiative to find He Xi again and continued the unfinished conversation: "There is a Jinyiwei Yamen in Yazhou City, near the west gate..."
As soon as Luo Shengdong opened his mouth, He Xi knew the plan was successful. A smart person like Luo Shengdong would never wait to see whether the prophecy actually came true before making a decision - from the moment he heard the prophecy, he had been dragged into the water, and what exactly was this prophecy? The lies of the Haihan people will still come true, but they will become less important. As long as Luo Shengdong figured this out, it would not be difficult to make a decision.
If something happened to this group of Haihan people in Yazhou and they were captured by factory guards, then Luo Shengdong would inevitably die regardless of whether he ended up in the hands of the Haihan people or the factory guards. In this case, Luo Shengdong could only choose to stand on the side that would allow him to survive. Compared with the factory guards whose mission is to arrest officials, Luo Shengdong still feels that the Haihan people who always keep their promises are more trustworthy. Since He Xi wanted to know about the factory guards so much, Luo Shengdong decided to tell him exactly what he knew. Anyway, with the limited number of Haihan people in front of him, it was unlikely that he would openly rebel against the factory guards in Yazhou. .
He Xi finally got the information he wanted. Perhaps it was because of the remote location and the fact that most of the people here were prisoners and officials. There was really no merit in arresting people in the penal colony. The factory guards did not have much power in Yazhou. . There is a small stall in Dongchang with more than 20 employees who are responsible for working in various government offices. Jinyiwei's yamen in Yazhou only has one general flag officer in charge, not to mention hundreds of households, not even a trial hundred households are placed here, which shows that Jinyiwei's superior organization is really not interested in Yazhou.
The boat did not stop when it passed Yazhou Water Village, but continued up the Ningyuan River for several miles until it reached the dock outside Yazhou City before docking. While Luo Shengdong sent people to the pier to find people and hire cars, he also directed the sailors to move the working group's luggage off the ship one by one.
Soon Luo Shengdong's men hired four carts and loaded the luggage into the carts. The group entered the city through the west gate and passed through the city to the station not far from the south gate. Luo Shengdong's men came forward and knocked on the door, and soon the old man guarding the yard came out and opened the door, welcoming everyone in.
After Luo Shengdong watched his men move all the luggage into the yard, he hurriedly said goodbye to the working group. He was still thinking about the two thousand kilograms of salt on the dock, which was worth hundreds of taels of silver. As for the way the two parties usually meet and communicate, they have already been negotiated in Victory Port, so there is no need to say more at this time.
After seeing off Luo Shengdong, several people first looked around inside and outside under the leadership of the old man named Yang. They all felt that the yard was quite good, the place was large enough, the transportation was convenient, and the living facilities were complete - except that there was no flush toilet. and shower facilities. There are seven main rooms, so there is just one room for each person without having to fight for it. There are two wing rooms left, one for old man Yang who works as a guard and the other is used as a confidential room to store radio stations and other items. The furniture in the room is all complete, so there is no need to buy anything else, and they are all custom-made in sets. Everyone looked at these finely carved solid wood furniture and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, sighing - if such a set of things were passed down to future generations, it would cost at least six figures.
Zhang Guang found a ladder from the woodshed, put it on the eaves of the confidential room, and pulled the radio antenna directly to the roof. The people below also helped and passed the solar panels up. While sending Old Yang to cook, Zhang Guang turned on the radio, adjusted the frequency, contacted the base camp and informed him of the safety.
Maliko came out of the confidential room and saw Qiu Yuan standing in a daze on the patio in the middle of the yard, so he walked over and handed him a cigarette: "What are you thinking about?"
Qiu Yuan came to his senses and took the cigarette with a smile: "How much did it cost to buy such a big yard in our past?"
Maliko frowned and said: "I saw that this yard is almost four hundred square meters. If it is in a better area in a first-tier city, it will be at least eight figures." "Yeah, in the past, I couldn't even think about it. You can buy this kind of house. But now? Two hundred and sixty taels of silver, just over 30,000 to less than 40,000 yuan, which is not even enough to buy a homestead in the countryside, tsk tsk... This trip is really worth it. That's right." Qiu Yuan said with emotion.
"The price can't be calculated like that." Since it came to economic issues, Malik was willing to discuss it with Qiu Yuan: "One tael of silver now can buy two shi of rice, and this yard can buy more than 500 shi of rice, which is almost the same. One hundred thousand pounds would have been worth hundreds of thousands in our previous society. But in the final analysis, the consumption level in today’s society is low.”
"No way, this is directly proportional to the current productivity level." Qiu Yuan also agreed with Malike's view: "But Yazhou may start to change in a year or two. Our arrival It will inevitably accelerate the economic development of this region, and we will be able to witness with our own eyes the change in consumption levels from low to high.”
Maliko blew out a puff of smoke: "You're right, we are all professionally educated people, and we need to look at social and economic development with a forward-looking perspective. After the work here gets underway, we can also suggest implementation Committee to make advance investment in Yazhou’s real estate market..."
"If you want to set up a real estate speculation group in Yazhou, I think you should save some money first." I don't know when, He Xi also walked to the patio: "The development plan of the executive committee will still be centered on Sanya. As for Yazhou Like later generations, the state will only exist as a radiation area in Sanya. If you really want to enclose the land, you might as well go to places like Fenghuang Town and Tianya Town now. ”
"You mean it's difficult to raise Yazhou's consumption level?" Qiu Yuan asked.
"At least in terms of real estate, it will be difficult to have a big increase." He Xi slowly expressed his opinion: "I don't know if you have seen the development plan of the executive committee. In the future, the Tiandu River area will be used as a heavy industry. The production base exists, and Victory Port will be built as the largest military port in the South China Sea. The coastal plain areas on both sides of the Sanya River and the Linchun River will be the key commercial and residential areas in the future. We all know that Sanya's population will be very large. Soon to surpass Yazhou, the economic level is the same. In my opinion, the wealthy people here in Yazhou will probably find a way to move to Sanya, because the living conditions in the new city will be much better than those in Yazhou.”
"In other words, the rise of Sanya in the future will cause a large amount of capital to flee from Yazhou, which may lead to a decline in Yazhou's economic level?" Malik's face became a little ugly. Although he has access to some secret decisions of the executive committee, only a limited number of people know the long-term development plan, and He Xi is obviously one of them. Maliko took the initiative to come to Yazhou, not just to observe how Yazhou declined step by step. If he couldn't make some achievements in Yazhou that attracted the attention of the executive committee, he might as well continue to stay at the base camp. , at least you can become familiar with him in the executive committee.
"It's hard to say what the future will be like now. Maybe the executive committee will also consider Yazhou as the next development target. After all, there are large plains around Yazhou City, and it is still very suitable for agricultural development." Qiu Yuan is very optimistic about this. Of course, this optimism is based on his ignorance of the executive committee's plan.
"The situation you mentioned is unlikely to happen." He Xi poured cold water on Qiu Yuanye mercilessly: "After establishing a foothold in Sanya, the next development goal of the executive committee is Changjiang, which has already been It’s a sure thing, and it’s unlikely that more resources will be allocated to Yazhou.”
Changjiang area, located in the west of Hainan, has a huge plain and is vast and sparsely populated, making it suitable for resettling a large number of immigrants to reclaim wasteland. The most important thing is that this is the location of the Shilu Iron Mine, which the Executive Committee attaches great importance to. The average grade of this ore exceeds 50%, and the reserves of this giant high-quality iron ore exceed 300 million tons. The veins are extremely shallow. The Hetian Duteite Mine is also suitable for open-pit mining. In addition to iron, it also contains cobalt, copper, nickel, sulfur, and aluminum. , gold and other mineral resources, it is simply a huge cornucopia for the Executive Committee.
In the long-term plan of the Executive Committee, Changjiang will be the most important metallurgical base on Hainan Island in the future. For this reason, the Executive Committee will even go on an expedition to develop the Hongji Coal Mine in Vietnam across the sea from Changjiang, so that the Changjiang area can Forming a complete industrial layout of coal-iron complex. Compared with Changjiang, which has a more important strategic position, Yazhou, which lacks output, does seem to be underweight.
