Chapter 517 Huaxi wants a ticket
Yuqi laughed and said, "Look how anxious he is. Yuanzi, tell daddy slowly."
Ma Yuan told Zhao Yulin about how he led his team to secretly kill Li Shu, and reported to him that he would stay in the Central Plains for a while.
The young man then told Zhao Yulin in vivid detail: Mother Phoenix is so majestic, she is truly a heroine, and none of the Shenwei Army in Thang Long Prefecture is disrespectful to our Mother Phoenix.
Zhao Yulin smiled and said: His Phoenix mother was a single-handed rebel when she was young. The 3rd and 9th columns of our Shenwei Army were the main forces led by her personally, so of course they are very powerful.
Yuanzi nodded continuously and asked him for a mission, wanting to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
He smiled and said, "There are plenty of opportunities in war. Let's take the brothers to visit Kaifeng first. It's the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty. Let's rest for a few days before doing anything else."
At night, Yuqi asked him: How do you plan to arrange for Yuanzi?
Zhao Yulin said let's wait and see, and wait two days to make a decision. In the afternoon, he read the military report sent by Yuqi, and Yang Xingyun wrote a letter saying that the Shandong army had a large number of people and it might not be possible to send them all home.
Yuqi stuck her butt out to him twice to show her agreement.
He asked Yuqi to pass on the order: call Lai Chuanfang and Yang Xingyun back for discussion, and call Liu Qiangguang and Li Dagui as well.
Yuqi asked him what to do? Should he adjust the military strength in Henan and Shandong ?
He tightened his hands around the woman's chest and said that the battle line was so long and the troops were so numerous that appropriate adjustments should be made.
In Huaxi Village outside the west gate of Chengdu, Yangjin and Chen Chen moved into the Zhang family compound and were discussing with Hulan and others how to adjust the next strategy.
Yangjin and Hulan discussed that they would go all out to build the food, entertainment and recreation projects in Huaxi Village. They also invited Si Niang, who was still staying in Dujiangyan, to come over to play a big game in Huaxi.
The planning of Huaxi Village involved the participation of the Central Financial Foundation and was operated by Zhao Yulin. The planning concept was immediately elevated to a brand-new concept eight hundred years later.
She told Hulan: If you want the people of Huaxi to become rich, it is important to train the common people here, at least to make them literate. You should open night schools so that young people can read and learn to read.
She gave the simplest example. Some old people here don't recognize the new currency of our New Song Dynasty, and some ordinary people have not even seen the new currency with a face value of ten strings. When Qian gave wages to the working cloth workers, they refused to accept it.
Just imagine, if there are guests coming to eat and have fun in the future, how will they make a living and collect money?
Therefore, the first thing to do is to open night schools and literacy classes to make every commoner know the most commonly used characters.
The second is to run advanced training classes. In the past, they sent a group of young people to Yibin to learn cooking skills, which was to run advanced training classes, and they also organized people in the village who were willing to go out to learn various crafts.
For example, the cart workshop that Hulan is planning can recruit all the common people who are willing to do carpentry work, starting as apprentices and training them step by step.
She asked the deacons present, how much do we pay the common people a day for doing the most common manual labor for most of the past six months?
How much does the chef we hired from outside earn per day?
If the common people in Huaxi had been doing carpentry and bricklaying work in the past six months, how much should we pay them?
A Qian's eyes immediately lit up and she said: The salary must be increased by at least 30%.
Yangjin said with a smile: That’s right.
She continued to ask Hu Lan, let's ask people to go to Yibin to learn cooking, and after they come back they will start as apprentices. If they have savings and have learned how to make small businesses like Yibin yanmian and Dali rice noodles, we will help them open their own shops, and then they will become small shopkeepers.
As a shopkeeper, you will definitely earn more.
Everyone was smiling and nodding, even Chen Chen was listening to Yang Jin's speech seriously.
Next, she introduced the situation to Si Niang. She said: At present, the fields in Huaxi Village are mainly rapeseed, and all of them have been planted. Why did Brother Yulin do this?
Next year, Huaxi Village will be covered with golden rapeseed flowers, the air will be filled with the fragrance of rapeseed flowers, and the rapeseed flowers all over the ground will be a beautiful scenery. City people have seen rapeseed flowers in the countryside, but they are planted in small plots by each household. They have never seen such a large area of rapeseed flowers.
People in the city have heard of fire wells in Ziliujing, and there are also fire wells in Huojing County of Qiongzhou, but they have never seen a real fire well. Then, the underground fire produced by our biogas digester has become a novel attraction. We can show the waterwheel-pig farm-biogas digester-magic stove as a landscape for guests coming to Huaxi to enjoy.
Wu Jing was extremely smart. He immediately thought of the newly invented dry-growing seedlings broadcasting, which could also be used as a novel planting technique for visitors to enjoy.
After their minds were opened, everyone started to communicate, make suggestions and offer ideas, and soon the eco-tourism content of Huaxi was enriched.
Yangjin told them: Once these novel names are posted on the shared carriages in the city, or an advertisement is placed in the Chengdu Weekly, how many people will see it?
Everyone was immediately surprised.
Chen Liu said happily: In that case, people coming to our Huaxi Village will definitely fill the village’s main roads, small roads, and even the ridges of the fields.
Chen Chen immediately smiled and exclaimed, "That's great."
Yang Jin is very optimistic: Huaxi will definitely be packed with tourists during the cauliflower season next year. Therefore, we will also expand the shared carriage bureau.
Everyone knows that the Ministry of Industry has no support, and Huaxi Village is running it on its own. At present, there are only five carriages running back and forth, and there are indeed not many people riding them. The scale of the shared carriages is also being expanded, and the young deacons are beginning to worry, because they are really losing money.
Even though the compensation was paid by the Zhao family, everyone still sighed in their hearts.
Most of the people traveling from outside the city to the city were hard-working common people buying and selling small items such as vegetables and flowers. Who would be willing to spend money to ride in a horse-drawn carriage?
Yangjin said confidently that there was no need to worry. There were few people riding in carriages at the moment, so we could just hire coachmen for training and make preparations. Not only would we expand the shared carriages, but we would also set up a separate tourist carriage bureau in Huaxi Village. Tourists would have to take our carriages from the village entrance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the village.
We also need to make a bus ticket for Huaxi tourism, which is equivalent to an entrance ticket. Without a ticket, you cannot take the bus or enter the village. We will set the number of people we receive every day, and the maximum number will be 2,000.
Anyone who buys a ticket to enter the village can use the ticket to take our tourist carriage to the next scenic spot at any time until they leave the village. We will expand the station at the entrance of the village and build a large paid parking lot for the carriages of the wealthy families to park at the entrance of the village.
Si Niang thought this was a good idea. She used tickets to regulate the people who could enter the village to play, and parked all the carriages outside, thus preventing vehicles from being parked randomly and blocking the roads.
But she became worried again and asked Yangjin, if the charges were like that, would the patrons feel that they were paying too much and wouldn't come because there was nothing to see?
Do we still want to restrict guests from coming in to eat and play?
Yangjin said confidently: As long as we write about our biogas digesters and magic stoves in a slightly mysterious way in the newspapers, I guarantee that many young men and women will flock to us.
We can also recruit 100 children from all over Chengdu to watch the show for free before the opening, and treat them to a free meal of our beggar's chicken after the show. These live advertisements will be enough to promote it back home. We will also build rope bridges, swings, flooded stone bridges and zip lines on the slope to provide paths and toys for tourists and children to experience adventures, and we guarantee that those who come to play will be very happy.
Another trick is that guests who come to the village to eat our firewood chicken and beggar's chicken can use their bus tickets to offset their expenses.
We in Huaxi use our own chickens to sell as food, which can reduce costs. We also run a beggar's chicken restaurant in this remote village, so we should give discounts to customers. We can use the tickets for the bus as discount coupons to reduce the price, which will attract spectators to come and eat.
Chen Chen looked at Yang Jin in surprise and thought that her trick was really great. She lowered the price without making a fuss. When city people came, they had something to eat, something to play and something to see. It was definitely not a loss.
Everyone's eyes lit up again, thinking that Deputy Director Yang Jin really had a solution.
Haha, Yangjin and Zhao Yulin are both from the future eight hundred years ago. They have heard and seen countless marketing methods, not just these.
Zhu Fugui said with some embarrassment that doing these things would naturally attract a large number of spectators, but our roads are almost completed, and we are just about to pave them with sintered bricks. Transporting a large amount of construction materials in will definitely damage the road surface, which will cost a lot.
Yangjin walked to the front of the map, looked at it for a while and said: Let's open a door in the southwest of the slope at the back, so that horse-drawn carriages carrying heavy loads can come in through the small road outside the village. When our business is on track in the future, we can convert this small road into a big road and create more food and entertainment attractions.
Zhu Fugui understood immediately and knew what to do.
Wow, this discussion lasted until midnight. Everyone quickly worked out their own responsibilities and tasks and started working on them.
Three days later, Zhao Yulin convened a military meeting in Kaifeng to discuss the reorganization of the troops in Shandong and Henan.
The Yellow River front was too long, so Yang Xingyun and Lai Chuanfang both agreed with his proposal to adjust the military strength and establish two deputy military region-level command posts in Zhengzhou and Jeju.
Li Dagui was ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Jinan Prefecture and complete the training of the Shandong Army. Zhao Yulin reorganized the Shandong Army into two Shenwei Army columns and two garrison army columns, and the rest were reorganized into a reclamation column to go to Mizhou for farming. The Yi'an Lake there had shrunk a lot compared to before because of the diversion of the Yellow River and the widening of the downstream channel after Zhou Ping entered Banqiao Town, which was just convenient for the troops to farm around the lake.
However, he warned Da Kui not to release lake water to create farmland anymore, because nature is generally balanced. If Yi'an Lake is turned into fertile fields, Shandong will surely experience drought, and our Shenwei Army will be guilty of a great sin.
Zhao Yulin ordered Liu Qiangguang to guard Zhengzhou and transferred Cao Youliang's troops west to Luoyang to be under the command of Lai Chuanfang, asking them to coordinate the various military forces on the Xiaohan Road and plan to attack Hebei.
