Chapter 224 The World is So Big
Yun Qingshui still couldn't bear the stimulation of two men and one woman, so she pushed Chen Xingtai away and ran back.
"This girl." Chen Xingtai shook his head, "Still the same."
He walked in and closed the door.
"Hey, why is it so chaotic here? Did you have a big fight?"
Lin Wen replied, "We only exchanged a few moves."
As Chen Xingtai put everything back in place, he said with a mischievous smile, "Really? Yun Qingshui rarely throws things. She usually just hits people."
Lin Wen sighed softly, knowing that today's time for cultivation was ruined, so he decided to concentrate on handling the affairs of the Kuomintang.
There was one thing Lin Wen liked about the Democratic Party: it had a high degree of autonomy. As long as Lin Wen set the direction and system for them, they would rush along the path and would not be bothered by trivial matters.
After Chen Xingtai packed up his things, he sat opposite Lin Wen.
The two people were separated by half a desk, and under the bright street lights and moonlight, there was a feeling of gay passion.
"Chief Lin," Chen Xingtai said first, "you know our Democratic Party isn't just in Zhongzhou, right?"
Lin Wen nodded.
Chen Xingtai continued, "We have many branches in several nearby states. Unfortunately, all of our brothers in Mingzhou have been killed. Our brother branches in other states are also in a very bad situation. Some are wanted, some are being rounded up, and some have already been imprisoned. Our forces are too weak, and the enemy is too strong. They are isolated and helpless in each state, and can only be defeated one by one."
"I have called them back one after another. The first group consists of about 10,000 people. I plan to build another settlement at the foot of the mountain to accommodate them."
Lin Wen said, "It can be a district of Shangxi Town. You need to leave enough room for planning in advance. I can help you with infrastructure, drainage, water supply, power supply, and roads."
Chen Xingtai smiled and said, "That's great. With your help, we will be able to build the new district quickly."
Lin Wen likes people who talk like this. It’s useless to express gratitude.
What Lin Wen wants is to build, work hard, and create a better living environment for the most people.
“Besides that, I also want to help farmers like us, whose situation is very dire, especially the farmers in Shizhou and the coal miners in Xuzhou.”
"good."
Lin Wen agreed immediately.
This is a huge amount of good karma, but he didn't do it because he didn't know how to do it. He was afraid of wasting money and not helping anyone. He was already too busy to handle the affairs of Changshan County alone.
The Democratic Party is willing to take the initiative. Some of them have the connections and the ability, making them the perfect fit.
"Just go ahead and do it. If you need money, supplies, or people, just tell me and I'll take care of it."
Chen Xingtai's face showed both surprise and touching. He originally thought that County Governor Lin would not be happy to hear that he was going to help another party, but he did not expect him to be so supportive.
"Headmaster Lin," he sighed, "I still find it hard to believe there's a person like you..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. We can't waste any time."
Chen Xingtai nodded: "That's how it should be."
He entered a state of concentration and explained the subsequent arrangements in detail to Lin Wen.
"Chief Lin, with today's rain, the harvest should be safe. The road from Shangxi Town to Huai Town will be completed and open to traffic soon. We will then be able to easily transport our agricultural products to Huai Town for sale, and we can also purchase the items we need from Huai Town."
Lin Wen asked, "What is the estimated harvest?"
Chen Xingtai replied, "We have 200,000 mu (approximately 16,000 acres) of cabbage planted. Since we planted it at a good time, the yield per mu is around 5,000 kilograms, and the total output is about 1 million tons."
"We have 100,000 mu (approximately 16,000 acres) of rapeseed, and the yield per mu is very high. Each mu yields at least 150 kilograms of rapeseed, for a total output of 15,000 tons. This provides us with enough oil for the year. Next year, we're raising bees, and the harvest will be even better."
"We have 300,000 mu (approximately 16,000 acres) of radish, with an average yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu. The total harvest is 900,000 tons."
"We have 50,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of spinach and cilantro. The spinach yield is not very good, only 1,000 kilograms per mu, and the cilantro yield is 1,500 kilograms. We will harvest 50,000 tons of spinach and 75,000 tons of cilantro."
"We still have 800,000 mu (approximately 16,000 acres) of land planted with wheat. Tomorrow we will seal off the wheat's winter water supply, and we'll be able to harvest it in June or July of next year. We estimate the yield per mu to be around 300 kilograms, for a total output of about 240,000 tons."
The moment Chen Xingtai finished speaking, Lin Wen’s only feeling was: it’s dawn.
Ever since he had eaten the delicious cabbage from the Kuomintang at the construction site, Lin Wen had been thinking about it all the time.
But after the Liberal Democratic Party was taken over by the Council, he could no longer eat such good cabbage.
Changshan County is in a bad location, and the vegetables shipped from other places are expensive and of poor quality, so in the end we can only buy food like potatoes.
Food also became the top priority in Changshan County, and a large amount of food had to be purchased every day.
The situation got even worse after the falling out with Shizhou. If it weren't for Dongqinzhou's help, food prices would have risen by at least another 30%.
Due to the flood in Changshan County, not only did the output of commercial crops drop to zero, but the food crops were also completely gone.
Except for the self-sufficient villages and towns in the western mountains, food for everyone in the eastern region is shipped in.
Now, there are more than 530,000 people in Changshan County who are provided with food and accommodation, and there are also more than 800,000 residents who also need to purchase food.
Importing food for so many people is not a small amount.
In order to prevent unscrupulous merchants from hoarding and reselling grain, Zhao Minggong and Lao Xie have tried their best to expand grain purchasing channels.
But the effect is still not good, and food prices continue to rise.
As soon as the Planning Bureau was established.
Xiao Xiao asked Lao Xie to purchase 5,000 tons of frozen beef from other places and sell it at a price lower than the market price.
There is no one in Changshan County who can consume so much goods in one go. Even if there is, Xiao Xiao has hired agents to watch over them. Anyone who buys more than 100 kilograms can take it away directly.
The meat market in Changshan County fell sharply, and the owners of major barbecue stalls and restaurants were all smiling, buying more beef and reducing purchases of other products.
As a result, the entire grain market fell and quickly returned to a level close to normal prices.
But the prices of some foods, such as vegetables, remain high.
Moreover, Changshan County also suffered heavy losses due to this market crash, and Old Xie has come to Lin Wen to complain more than once.
Xiao Xiao lied to him that he could make money, so Lao Xie believed it and spent 800 million, but ended up losing nearly 100 million.
But the food problem has not been solved, and Changshan County still spends about 10 million on food every day.
And now, as long as the Democratic Party has a good harvest, according to the output mentioned by Chen Xingtai, Changshan County can not only save a lot of money, but also revitalize the entire market.
The vitality of the economy lies in transactions and circulation.
Changshan County only buys and does not sell, so its economy is distorted.
The joining of the Democratic Party allowed Changshan County to add vegetables to its own production products.
Only when there is buying and selling can the economy be healthy and vibrant.
This is not something that can be measured by money.
Lin Wen's mouth almost cracked with laughter, and he wanted to hug Chen Xingtai and kiss him a few times. When he took in the Kuomintang, he only wanted to earn good karma, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected harvest.
Seeing County Chief Lin so happy, Chen Xingtai also laughed.
"In short, it's a great harvest. We've now established ourselves and have the capital, so I want to save more people."
A soulmate!
Lin Wen immediately said, "That's right. Save as many as you can. As long as I'm still in this world, I won't allow anyone to suffer. Hurry up and call all your brothers back. Have them bring back all the farmers who are still suffering in other places."
Chen Xingtai was touched, but his reason told him not to be impatient.
"Chief Lin, don't worry. We still have a few problems to solve. The first one is that we don't have a house to live in."
Lin Wen waved his hand and said, "Build it. I'll tell Lord Zhao Ming to prioritize the construction of your new district immediately. Rescue the people first. We can't let them be bullied outside. We still have a lot of tents in stock that were used for disaster relief. We can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. We don't have to worry about having nowhere to live."
"But we don't have enough land. Reclamation of new land is not going smoothly. Outside the 100,000 hectares you have designated, the land outside is very poor and difficult to transform. It will not be done overnight."
Lin Wen waved his hand and said, "Let them eat the mountain first."
"But if so many people go logging and hunting, won't it be..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "The world is so big, I just want to eat a bite, what's wrong with that?"
Chen Xingtai was stunned for a moment, then he figured it out. He clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right. People are about to die, so why would they care if all the trees have been cut down? The Taixu Mountains are over a thousand kilometers long, and there are at least hundreds of millions of trees. Even if we cut down a thousand trees a day, it would take hundreds of years to finish cutting them all."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "You keep the saplings. By the time you finish cutting a circle, they will have grown into towering trees."
They both burst out laughing.
The two men gained a lot from their conversation that night, as they determined the main affairs and direction of the Democratic Party in the future.
Before long, it was daybreak. Although they wanted to continue talking, both of them were busy with work and had so many things to do that they had no luxury of rest.
Chen Xingtai went first. He had to organize the work of recalling Kuomintang members and relocating farmers from other places. He also had to formulate a new district plan for Shangxi Town, expand the logging camp and hunting lodge, formulate a plan to protect water sources, and so on.
Agricultural affairs were handed over to Yanshi Liu Henshi, while the affairs of assisting other fraternal parties in other places were handed over to Yun Qingshui.
Under the leadership of Chen Xingtai, the KMT cadres began to work rapidly.
Soon, they will bring a lot of good karma to Lin Wen.
Changshan County was rushing forward at an unimaginable speed.
Daily good karma: 460.
Soul growth: 1.1%
It's not enough.
Lin Wen thought to himself as he ran towards Huai Town in the 7 o'clock sunshine.
I want more.
