Chapter 374 What to do*
In addition, Meng Changqing also explained how much more farmland there is in the county and the yield per mu of harvested fields this autumn than last year.
Agriculture, housing and road construction, and education have all yielded results.
The people stood up and congratulated: "Congratulations, Sir! Beishan County can be what it is today, all thanks to Sir Meng!"
"I rely more on the support of everyone here, otherwise if I have any ideas, after all, I am just one person with only one pair of hands. How can I be as worry-free and labor-saving as I am now." Meng Changqing asked him to sit down and continued: "In just two years, we have also There are some results.
I sincerely thank you all for all you have done for Beishan County. "Having said this, Meng Changqing stood up, cupped his hands and clasped his fists towards everyone present, "Thank you, everyone! ”
Those present did not dare to accept her gift and returned the gift one after another.
"I often remind myself what Beishan County looked like two years ago, and what I saw when I took some of you to open the door of Yangmen County.
Do you still remember? ”
"Then how can we forget?" Zhou Xing patted the table and said, "It was the coldest time in the twelfth lunar month. I remember that when the city gate opened, the cold wind went straight into people's bodies. Those winds were like coming from the underworld. Blow up.”
"Yes, I wanted to find a place to take shelter from the wind, but was driven away by Weishan County. Alas, I will always remember this grudge!"
"Ahem!" Yang Zheng coughed a few times and winked at the speaker. As far as he knew, Mr. Meng and Mr. Cao of Weishan County now have a good relationship. There is really no need to bring up the past and sow discord between the Shangguan officials.
Seeing that the other party understood his eyes, Yang Zheng turned to Meng Changqing and said: "Sir, building the wall in the wilderness that day was difficult and dangerous. How can those of us who experienced it forget it? Even if we get older in the future, we must tell these things to Sun. Seniors listen.”
"When I talk about the past, it reminds me of our lifelong friendship." Meng Changqing said, "In just two years, Beishan County has become what it is today. You might as well imagine what Beishan County will look like in ten years."
"In ten years, it will definitely surpass Yangmen County!" someone said excitedly.
"More than that! With adults here, I'm afraid it will be even better than Liangzhou City!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Ten years, five or two years, our Beishan County must be the only one in Liangzhou, no, the only one in the four northern states!"
Meng Changqing heard that they all thought for the best, and was very grateful that they thought highly of her.
It's just that Beishan County is a small border town. Whether it can develop well depends not only on their own efforts, but also on whether Yan Jun gives it a chance.
He talks about the future, but in fact Meng Changqing doesn't dare to think too far ahead.
The situation between North Korea and China is ever-changing, and her own future is already in the fog.
The enemy's intentions are elusive, the challenges Beishan County will face are unimaginable, and the future cannot be clearly seen. I can only hope that God will show mercy and good luck will save Beishan County from setbacks and have a good future.
Meng Changqing smiled and said: "I hope the future will be as you say at this moment.
However, ten years is too long after all, so we might as well shorten the time and talk about what we want to achieve in five years. ”
What to do? Yang Zheng clicked Meng Changqing's words in his mind. He thought about it and was about to speak, but Qi Renli across from him spoke first.
"Sir, within five years, I will earn enough money for the county government and find a serious way to make money for the people in the county."
Meng Changqing looked at him and nodded, "Master Qi is determined, and with your ability, your promised export will definitely make it come true.
What does anyone else have to say? Yang Zheng said: "The population exceeds 50,000." ”
Cheng Guang then said: "The cultivated land exceeds 150,000 acres."
"The official road leads directly to the gate of Yangmen County."
"Haha! Did you say it will take another five years? Next year we can build it to the gate of Yangmen County."
Everyone said different things, but after talking about it, it was like making a wish.
After listening, Meng Changqing added: "We must revitalize the existing facilities, have students pass the provincial examination, and make all preparations to lay the foundation for the imperial court to take back Tuozhou."
When her last words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Meng Changqing continued: "Most of the people present are soldiers from the Weishan Camp. You know better than anyone what the situation at the border is and what is happening with the Yan army.
This battle is inevitable after all. The Yan army cannot take care of us now, but judging from what they did last year, will they be able to let us go when they have enough energy? ”
Zuo Datou shook his head, "It must be impossible. The Yan thief is determined to destroy me, and we will never have peace."
"In the next five years, or even in the next ten years, whether we are hoarding food or developing the economy, we will not only do it for our own official career, nor for the people of Liangzhou, but also for the battle in the future." Meng Changqing's eyes were firm, "We must make sure that Yan's army never comes back, and we must fight until he dares not invade within fifty years. Only in this way can our Beishan County be at peace, and only in this way can we, Daliang, have the possibility of turning over."
Meng Changqing said this, but Yang Zheng didn't dare to answer the question. The gap between Daliang and Yan was too big. Unless the whole country mobilized the strength of the whole country to fight this war, there would be no such possibility.
Not only was there a gap in investment in military pay and food, but the physical fitness of the soldiers was not as good as that of Yan's soldiers. Even Daliang's horses were not as good as Yan's horses.
If Yan had not experienced two turmoils, it is hard to say whether there would have been a great beam in the world.
Yang Zheng really didn't dare to think about the future mentioned by Meng Changqing.
But looking at Meng Changqing's expression, and thinking about what he did in the past, is it really impossible? Yang Zheng couldn't help but ask himself.
If God bless me, Daliang, Mr. Meng will surely get what he wants.
The first snow of the year fell for several days in a row, from late September to early October.
Except for the patrolling government officials, it was rare to see anyone walking around.
The food saved in the autumn, coupled with the firewood piled before winter, is enough for the people to stay at home and spend a good winter.
Meizi had nothing to do at home, so she took out the money she had saved and counted it while Zeng Dashu was not around.
The money earned by Zeng Dashu was also in her purse. The two of them had nearly forty taels in total. If they had not bought these things at home, their money would have been enough to buy a house on Xing'an Street.
However, Meizi has never thought about buying a house. The place she lives in now is very good. It is not far from the county seat. All the things in the house have been purchased. She is getting more and more familiar with her neighbors. In addition, after the child is born in the future, there will definitely be It’s a big expense, so save the money for future use.
There are still many people like Meizi in Beishan County who spend their free time counting money.
After all, when you have nothing to do, you always have to find something to occupy your time, and you can't just beat your children for fun. Now that the children are in school, if they are beaten for no reason, they will complain to their husbands.
