Fortunate enough to transmigrate, and born into a landlord's family, I will never lack food or clothing in this life, yet I don't want to just drift along. So, Fu Xiaoguan casually did a fe...
With the development of transportation in Daxia, the tourism industry in Daxia has already shown signs of development.
Especially after Fu Xiaoguan took a boat from Jiangcheng to Jinling, and then from Jinling to Chi Lechuan.
"Chi Le Chuan is a popular destination right now. You might not know this, but the people of Jinling have never seen a grassland. They got bored of staying in Jinling City and went to the vast grasslands of Chi Le Chuan, only to discover how beautiful the scenery could be."
"Similarly, the people of Chi Le Chuan had longed for the culture of the former Yu Dynasty, and now they could go to Jinling. Once they visited Jinling... they discovered how prosperous a city could be."
"In short, in my opinion, travel is about people who are tired of staying in one place going to places others are tired of. It's all about novelty. When people have enough food and clothing and have extra money, they always seek something new. So they would definitely be willing to go to those mountains and valleys to see the mountains, rivers, flowers, and those pristine villages."
Fu Xiaoguan laughed. This guy had a good idea.
Every village is connected by cement roads, which is not only beneficial for the travel of villagers and tourists, but also for the management of local governments.
But tourism depends on local resources. Obviously, not every place is suitable for this method. So he asked again:
"What if it's a place not suitable for tourism?"
"This requires an on-site investigation. For villages with harsh natural conditions, my suggestion is that the government fund their entire relocation. Daxia is so large, and many places need people. They can find jobs if they move out, and the government can even allocate some farmland to them."
"Also... I'm thinking about merging the land in those places, consolidating the scattered plots held by the villagers, and letting large-scale farmers and breeders contract and manage them. This approach needs to be tested, and I don't know if it will work."
"Also, you once opposed the annexation of land."
Yan Xiwen said this and looked at Fu Xiaoguan. He was probably the only one who dared to mention this in front of Fu Xiaoguan.
As a small landlord in Linjiang, Fu Xiaoguan understood how disadvantageous the relationship between landlords and tenants was to the tenants.
"Go on and tell me what you think about land annexation."
Yan Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief. "As I said before, times have changed. Agriculture doesn't need a large population, but it does need to maintain or even increase its output."
"In my opinion, the previous small-scale peasant economy is no longer suitable for the development of Daxia today. Business can be transformed, and agriculture can also be transformed!"
"Why is the output of the Mozhou Royal Farm so high? Firstly, of course, it's because of Wang Er's careful management. Secondly... I think it's precisely this large-scale farming!"
"The Mozhou Royal Farm has 40,000 hectares of farmland, but Wang Er actually doesn't employ many people, only about 6,000."
"So, on average, each person cultivated 100 mu of land. This is three times more efficient than when we were in Xishan, when each person could only cultivate 30 mu of land at most!"
"The fields in those mountainous areas certainly can't compare to the flat fields in Mozhou, but if they were contracted out to farmers, they wouldn't necessarily grow food crops. They might grow economic plants like mulberry, hemp, or some fruit trees."
"Daxia doesn't need to grow crops in those barren places. In my opinion, only places suitable for growing crops should be used for growing crops. As for places that are not suitable for growing crops, let them choose for themselves."
"This can also be considered as liberating productivity, liberating the productivity of the land. This is my initial thought. Of course, the final decision will be made by you."
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment. "Well, organize these ideas. Once you're done, call a cabinet meeting to discuss them. The rural revitalization plan is an excellent strategy. I can give you the final say right now, but how will it be implemented specifically... Let's gather our wisdom and make this a priority for government work next year!"
Yan Xiwen nodded. "I'll draft it over the next few days. Oh, right, Huo Huaijin said he's inviting all our old friends to drink at Sifanglou tonight, and he asked me to treat you... wouldn't it be a good idea for you to go?"
After finishing the business, the atmosphere became relaxed.
Fu Xiaoguan glared at Yan Xiwen, "Why would it be bad if I go?"
"You are the emperor, how can you drink this wine happily if you go there?"
"...I'm not the widower. Aren't you all my friends? Do you really want to worship me?"
"No, you came out with such a massive force, like we were going to war. We had to clear the area around the Sifang Building. You know that was disturbing the people, didn't you?"
Fu Xiaoguan was so angry that he laughed, "I'm not disturbing the people! I can just take Liu Jin with me and be done with it."
Yan Xiwen shook his head. "Huo Huaijin is the commander of the garrison! He's protecting the palace and you. How could he let you sneak into the Sifang Tower? Wouldn't that be dereliction of duty? So if you want to go, he said, spend a little more money to book the Sifang Tower. He will also definitely send guards to surround the Sifang Tower..."
Yan Xiwen spread his hands and said, "Look at you, drinking has caused such a big scene. Forget it, forget it. You should just stay in the palace. I'll invite some friends to come to your palace and drink with you some other time!"
Yan Xiwen stood up after saying this. Fu Xiaoguan looked up and glared at him, "Stop right there!...Okay."
His momentum weakened, and he waved his hand, "Go away, I'll treat you to a drink in the palace some other day."
Yan Xiwen laughed and walked out of the imperial study. Fu Xiaoguan also smiled slyly and said, "I still want to go!"
When I think about it, it has been a long time since I last drank outside, especially in Sifanglou!
Tomorrow night, ask Liu Jin to bring a jar of stored Xishan Tianchun to give them a surprise!
Thinking of this, he realized that Liu Jin had gone to call Qin Chengye for a long time and still hadn't come back. It was impossible for this bastard to run out for a tryst.
Thinking of this, he stood in front of the map of Daxia and looked at the poor counties mentioned in the memorial.
I have indeed overlooked the changes in Da Xia over the years, and Yan Xiwen's reminder today is very good.
Daxia had not yet entered the Second Industrial Revolution, because the symbol of the Second Industrial Revolution was the entry into the electrical age. The emergence of generators, internal combustion engines, and electric motors could push the entire society to a new level.
The Daxia Academy of Sciences has been researching internal combustion engines for two or three years. The country has invested a lot of money, and the academy has made great progress in the accumulation of internal combustion engine technology.
He wanted to ask Qin Chengye where the internal combustion engine was stuck now?
Because of the internal combustion engine, there is electricity.
This is a truly remarkable thing! It's a symbol of civilization, and it can also bring about tremendous social change!
With electricity, scientific research institutes can study electricity, and hydropower stations and thermal power stations can be built... Perhaps in another twenty or thirty years, Daxia will be bright even at night.
