Chapter 875 If I can't go to Liaodong, you won't have an easy time either!
The guards carrying Hu Weiyong stopped in their tracks.
Hu Weiyong stared intently at Yang Shaofeng, sobbing and crying, "The people of Liaodong are suffering!"
"Those huge puddles and those towering peaks are really a nightmare!"
"I tried to have people clean up the puddles and the tops of the plants. Not to mention how difficult those things are to clean up, the key problem is that as soon as they are cleaned up, a heavy rain comes down and the puddles are filled with water again, and the tops of the plants grow back."
"No matter how fertile the land is, if it cannot be cultivated, then the people can only suffer from hunger."
"Not to mention that Liaodong is a truly desolate and cold place."
"Right now, people in Dengzhou are only wearing thin cotton-padded jackets, but in Liaodong it's already so cold that dogs can freeze to death."
"I heard that the snow can be three feet deep in a single snowfall, enough to bury an entire house."
"Even Umaru's legs don't always go above her knees."
"The soil was frozen solid."
"To clean up the puddles and burrs in winter, the whole family has to pitch in, and they still can't clear even a small patch of land in a day."
"Your Highness, you must think of a solution for the people of Liaodong!"
Yang Shaofeng was completely numb.
I need to find a solution?
What the hell can I do?!
We need a tractor, but we don't have one.
We don't have rotary tillers.
We have nothing, so what can I do but rely on people to force it?
Even after the advent of tractors and various agricultural machinery, it still took several generations and decades to gradually develop the Great Northern Wilderness into the Great Northern Granary.
Speaking of the Great Northern Wilderness, Yang Shaofeng suddenly thought of Nanniwan.
During the mid-Jian period, the Jianyi people instigated conflict between the Hui and Han peoples. The two groups slaughtered each other in Nanniwan. The once densely populated, water-rich, and fertile Nanniwan was transformed into a desolate place overgrown with weeds and thorns, sparsely populated, and frequented by wild animals.
In March 1941, the 359th Brigade, led by Brigade Commander Wang Zhen, launched the famous Great Production Movement in Nanniwan.
Without a house, they dug their own cave dwellings; without vegetables, they foraged for wild vegetables; without tools, they made their own hoes and shovels.
The 359th Brigade carried forward the spirit of "self-reliance and hard work" and planted crops on barren mountains and wilderness with amazing perseverance.
In just three years, the 359th Brigade transformed the thorny and desolate Nanniwan into a beautiful Jiangnan-like landscape in northern Shaanxi, where "everywhere is farmland and cattle and sheep roam freely."
Yang Shaofeng paced back and forth.
Dry?
A person has to do something in their lifetime.
It's not a good idea to stay in Dengzhou Prefecture all the time.
What if I go to Liaodong and accidentally kill Hu Yuan completely?
The question is, if I were to request a transfer to Liaodong, would Old Deng agree?
Even if Deng Xiaoping agrees, what will Hu Jintao say?
Wang Guangyang is one of those nice guys; he can accept being managed by his superiors. Can Lao Hu accept that?
Otherwise, we should try to get Hu Weiyong out of here first.
Just as Yang Shaofeng was pondering this, Zhu Biao's heart skipped a beat, and he said first, "Brother-in-law, if you have any good ideas, just write them down, or just tell Hu Weiyong to handle it. Don't even think about going to Liaodong yourself."
Yang Shaofeng's face darkened, and he said, "Why can't I think about going to Liaodong?"
Li Shanchang immediately became anxious.
Do you want to go to Liaodong?
Damn it, it's amazing that you, Yang the Madman, dare to think of such a thing!
You went to Liaodong, to the border market in Dengzhou, the university in Dengzhou, and the steam engine in Ningyang County. Who do you plan to let take over all these big things?
The Dengzhou border market and Dengzhou University were somewhat easier to manage, since the border market could be modeled after the trading system of the market and the university after the system of the Imperial College.
What about the steam engine?
Who would dare to take over that thing?
No matter who it is, if they figure things out after taking over, they can barely be considered to have done a good job. But if they mess it up, your father-in-law will probably tear you apart.
Li Shanchang was internally ranting, while Hu Weiyong was completely dumbfounded.
Knowing that you, Yang the Madman, are going to Liaodong, do you think I'll offend anyone?
It's not about taking over.
Offending your superiors doesn't really matter.
Even after ascending to the throne, he is still an emperor, and before his bottom line is crossed, he will still consider the pros and cons of everything.
If you, Yang the Madman, go to Liaodong, you'll make me offend the Empress!
You son of a bitch, Yang the Madman!
Princess Funing and Princess Fuyang grew up by the Empress's side. Apart from serving the Empress as female officials, their treatment was no different from that of a proper princess.
Besides, does Yang the Madman even know that you get beaten up in the palace just like His Highness the Crown Prince?
Not only are you the husband of Princess Funing and Princess Fuyang, but you also enjoy the same treatment as their own son from the Empress and the Emperor.
As a result, just because I wanted to take advantage of you, I ended up sending the husbands of Princess Funing and Princess Fuyang to Liaodong.
Laugh to death.
What merit or ability have I, an old man, possessed?
Those fifty lashes were too lenient.
If I had known that you, Yang the Madman, wanted to go to Liaodong, I should have angered His Highness the Crown Prince and made him send someone to kill me!
"Well, Your Highness, what are your thoughts on Liaodong? Write them down, or tell me."
"I will do as you say."
"You shouldn't go to Liaodong."
"The Dengzhou border market and Dengzhou University also cannot do without you."
Hu Weiyong looked at Yang Shaofeng pitifully, trying to dissuade Yang Shaofeng from his desire to go to Liaodong.
Li Shanchang also chimed in, "Your Highness, Hu Weiyong is right. The affairs of the Dengzhou market and Dengzhou University cannot be separated from you."
"Especially steam engines, no one dared to take them on lightly."
"Besides, even if you go to Liaodong, you can't make the ponds in Liaodong disappear overnight."
"Why not tell Hu Weiyong your idea and let him handle it step by step in Liaodong?"
Hu Weiyong looked at Li Shanchang with deep gratitude, and then continued, "Prime Minister Li is right. I believe I still have some ability and will definitely not delay the development plan of Liaodong."
Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong played the good cop, while Zhu Biao played the bad cop: "Brother-in-law, you really can't go to Liaodong. Not to mention whether I want to or not, my parents would never let you go to Liaodong. Just give up on that idea."
Yang Shaofeng snorted.
If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go.
However, if I fail to go to Liaodong, none of you will have an easy time!
Yang Shaofeng's eyes darted around, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness is overthinking it. I wasn't thinking about going to Liaodong just now, but rather about how to deal with the waterlogged areas and towers in Liaodong in the fastest way possible."
Hu Weiyong's eyes lit up, and he asked repeatedly, "Is there a way?"
Yang Shaofeng raised his voice and said, "I have some ideas, but whether they will work or not, we'll have to wait until we get back to Ningyang County to decide."
After a slight pause, Yang Shaofeng added, "Even if this method is feasible, it will require a large amount of coal and steel."
"In other words, a large number of people are still needed in Liaodong. We should start with coal and iron mines, and then proceed step by step."
"With the addition of relocating the people, it will take at least ten or twenty years before we see any initial results."
As Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, Zhu Biao almost burst out laughing.
