Upon hearing Shi Zehong's light exclamation, Zhang Guanghua couldn't help but smile.
The other's reaction was within his expectations.
As the acting director stationed in Chixian City.
Instead of being a manager, Shi Zehong was more like a chef — whatever ingredients the boss gave him, he had to use them to cook up the corresponding delicacies.
After all, he was only responsible for the allocation of resources, so his degree of freedom was relatively small.
However, as a professional within the system, Shi Zehong certainly had the awareness and preparation for this, and wouldn't lose himself because of it.
So after being slightly surprised, he quickly adjusted his mindset:
"Comrade Guanghua, how does the base camp plan to arrange things?"
Zhang Guanghua picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then walked cautiously to the window, looking out through it.
Returning to his seat, he apologetically said to Shi Zehong:
"Director Shi, the issues we are about to discuss have far-reaching implications, possibly causing a certain impact on the layout of Chixian City, so we have to be a bit cautious."
Shi Zehong waved it off nonchalantly:
"It's only right, only right. It's not the first time I've worked with comrades from the forces, I know your habits, being cautious in these matters is a good thing."
Zhang Guanghua nodded and continued:
"Director Shi, this time we have delivered several production lines.
We plan to build small-scale textile, agricultural machinery, bicycle, and fertilizer factories in Chixian.
Once these production lines are landed and debugged, we will officially recruit workers from the public.
Apart from the agricultural machinery factory, the other three should start recruiting workers within a week and begin production within half a month."
According to the agreement previously signed with Chixian City.
The rabbits will do their best to assist Chixian City in building a suitable industrial system, providing a large number of job positions to recruit from the public, thereby significantly improving the city's fundamental productivity.
After all, with a high baseline productivity.
Not only will the living conditions of the public improve, but various city incomes will also increase accordingly.
Don't forget, in the Damo Realm, copper coins can be directly exchanged for Spirit Stones at a ratio of one to three thousand.
Perhaps compared to the dividends from Spirit Stone mines, the amount from administrative taxation isn't a lot.
But it represents the health level of a city, which essentially reflects the public sentiment most directly, and with high public sentiment, everything gets easier.
According to the rabbits' analysis.
Setting aside the upper cultivator class and external threats from monsters.
The current underlying form of Chixian City somewhat resembles some of our country's impoverished western counties in the 1970s.
In that era, to enable the western regions to form a relatively benign self-circulation and fill the gaps.
The core at the time, using counties as a foundation.
Formulated the standard city set of six small industrial buildings each county should have, excluding hydroelectric plants, including distilleries, small steel mills, small fertilizer plants, small cement plants, small cotton mills, and small agricultural machinery factories.
After operating for more than a decade.
Some agricultural machinery factories were gradually merged into collective machinery factories, while some were acquired by private companies.
At the same time, due to supply and demand reasons, many places also saw the emergence of bicycle factories and other single-function factories.
For many, these factories are childhood memories...
This time, the rabbits plan to support Chixian City with textile, agricultural machinery, bicycle, and fertilizer factories.
The reason for supporting a textile factory is simple:
Currently, there is a large number of females lingering in Chixian City, such as Zhao Qianju's wife, sisters-in-law, etc., totaling over two thousand women.
And with the expansion of refugees in the future, this number could likely exceed five figures.
So to activate Chixian City's labor force, these women comrades are an indispensable part.
Though there's no cotton plant in the Damo Realm, it does have a fiber material similar to cotton.
Not to mention, Modu's Mofang ranks 290th in the country's top 500, consuming up to 47 tons of raw materials daily at its Pudong factory; squeezing out a little is more than enough for Chixian City's needs.
Also considering the textile factory mainly aims to place female labor.
This time, the rabbits intentionally brought a batch of old equipment, only with a few automated modules, primarily focusing on manual operations.
This approach not only provides numerous job positions but also ensures that production capacity does not suddenly overflow.
As for the sales of these cotton and linen finished products..... they're almost too numerous to mention.
Because even clothes produced from semi-industrial processes are much cheaper than those from manual workshops.
These clothes can be sold within Chixian City, provided as uniforms for workers after their shifts at construction sites, or even sold to other cities through Wei Qiangsheng's caravans.
Such as Ziqiong City, two thousand miles away, which has a population of millions.
The more barren the economic ground, the more emphasis is placed on cost-effectiveness.
The cost-effectiveness of the rabbits' clothing is no bluff.
Forget about the Damo Realm, even domestically, few could compare.
In contrast to the placement function of the textile factory.
The bicycle factory, cement factory, and agricultural machinery factory are slightly more complex.
While providing ample jobs, their products also serve specific purposes.
Take the bicycle factory, for example.
Chixian City is not very large, but it's not exactly small either.
It covers an area of sixteen square kilometers, about four kilometers both horizontally and vertically.
For an adult on foot,
unless you regularly participate in outdoor activities, walking four kilometers would take about 30-45 minutes.
Not to mention there's a whole bunch of streets and alleys in the city.
This layout is almost identical to some county towns of the seventies and eighties.
During that era, the importance of bicycles to the people of Huaxia was self-evident.
In sociology books published by Yan University, bicycles were even defined as an 'important tool for accelerating the development of social productivity.'
After all, when distances between people decrease and communication becomes more frequent,
the 'pheromones' secreted by society increase, thus acting as a catalyst for promotion.
Some might ask,
who are these bicycles being produced for?
The answer is similar to that of clothes: either for self-sale or export to other towns.
Perhaps the price of bicycles would be higher than that of clothes, but it's far from exorbitant.
Of course, this also involves an economic stimulation plan by the rabbits.
According to the rabbits' plan,
since the current situation in Chixian is like stagnant water, Happiness Supermarket will initially become the main force to fill the gap in daily necessities.
But this is only a temporary phenomenon.
As Huaxia currency begins to circulate and common people gradually have disposable income, all sorts of small businesses will spring up like mushrooms after rain.
For example, menders of clothes, repairers of shoes...
Or if someone in the family has money to build a new house, they might need a bricklayer or carpenter?
Or if both people in your family are busy working, I could offer laundry services for fifty cents each, washed and sun-dried.
Some might notice the large flow of people outside the factory gate every day and simply set up a stall nearby, slowly developing into a food street over time.....
This is almost retracing the path of the seventies era of Huaxia—let alone five or six thousand people, isn't this how those large factories with tens of thousands of people in Huaxia transitioned during de-industrialization?
As for the remaining agricultural machinery factory and fertilizer factory, they are primarily for producing basic agricultural tools.
Such as hoes, blades, animal-driven plows, and so on.
Now that the beast tide has passed, according to Patriarch Wei's initial statement,
Chixian City will quickly allocate village land for the migrants so that they can resume production.
Although some land has lost fertility due to the passage of two-headed oxen,
the laboratory discovered through fluorescence protein experiments that the 'fertility' absorbed by these two-headed oxen was actually nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, these trace elements.
And nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are precisely the important substances that plants require in large amounts and are heavily taken away during harvest.
Once they are deficient, the soil naturally loses its fertility.
Again, the point is,
cultivation is not mystical; many things can, in fact, be explained scientifically.
For example, the ghost lights seen by ancient ancestors were actually just burning white phosphorus, but without the subject of 'chemistry' in ancient times, they could only conceptualize and materialize it.
The concept of fertility is similar—the components of soil are just that; when it becomes unfertile for growing vegetables, it's either due to pH imbalance or loss of organic nutrients.
So upon learning that the land of Damo Realm couldn't be cultivated due to the loss of elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium,
the rabbits promptly sent a fertilizer production line with that shipment of supplies.
The location where Chixian City is situated is right at the conjuncture of an alluvial plain and a basin, a terrain extremely suitable for development into farmland.
Farming is in the rabbits' nature.
In the rabbits' plan,
the initial funds for the migrants will be accumulated through the construction sites and textile factory, with males working and females laboring in the factory.
The remaining labor force will be allocated across the three factories, including the bicycle factory.
Meanwhile, with Happiness Supermarket at the core, using Huaxia currency as the circulating currency, and the original small and micro businesses in the city as the fundamental base, a self-sustaining and externally surplus industrial system will be gradually established, thereby fully revitalizing this city.
This entire process might take one to two months (i.e., four to eight salary payments), and by the end of this period, the village lands should be more or less ready for allocation.
At that time, the first batch of agricultural tools and fertilizers will just be hitting the market.
This is the rabbits' productivity enhancement plan, codenamed.....
Leisi!
