"Huanqingcheng Five-Year Development Plan".

When little Zhou Ming found a chance to privately hand over this plan, which was written in a children's exercise book, with pictures and texts, and about more than 2,000 words, into the hands of his grandfather Bai Ze.

The man in his sixties was stunned after reading only one or two pages.

"My dear grandson, did you really write this?

Bai Ze looked in disbelief, because this development plan not only had clear views and clear organization, but also made several suggestions that were extremely feasible, and each of them touched a touching point in his heart.

What's even more exaggerated is that he proposed three improvement plans and drew three design sketches for the improvement of the processing equipment of the Xuanqing fruit processing plant.

The first sketch is a psychic shelling machine, which can increase the shelling efficiency of the hard shell of Xuanqing fruit by 1,000 times. The disadvantage is that it requires hiring a monk, which is expensive.

The second sketch is a hydraulic shelling machine, which is driven by water. The efficiency is increased by more than 500 times and the cost is not high. The disadvantage is that the factory must be located close to the water source, and the efficiency will be reduced during the dry season.

The third sketch is a wind-powered shelling machine. Wind energy is everywhere, and it is windy all year round on higher mountains. Using a wind-powered shelling machine can achieve the best balance between efficiency and cost.

Of course, there are animal-powered and human-powered shelling machines that can be used, but they are not sustainable and easy to fatigue, so they are not recommended - the shell of Xuanqing fruit is said to be harder than stone.

The three sketches drawn by Zhou Ming look like graffiti, but they are actually simple and easy to understand. Even Bai Ze, who doesn't know much about mechanical principles, can see them clearly.

The most remarkable thing is this grandson’s financial acumen.

And the amazing ideas in his mind.

After calculation, this grandson found that it would cost about 8 million spiritual coins to build an 800-mile highway to the nearest Huanluan City. He proposed the idea of ​​using 5 million tons of Xuanqing fruit to build a "Xuanqing Highway" within three years. .

How is this achieved?

Divided into three steps.

The first step is to use the entire Bai family army to act as a caravan, constantly transporting the Xuanqing fruit (not shelled). If there is a road blockage, or a mud pit or ditch, they will directly dump the Xuanqing fruit on the ground and return immediately.

In the second step, after the Xuanqing fruit arrives at Huanluan City, it is directly exchanged for gravel and cement from the construction merchant without selling it for money. Construction starts from the other side of Huanluan City and leads to Huanqing City.

In addition, Hyunqing City is not idle. A large number of people in the city have to be mobilized to collect a large number of fallen Xuanqing fruits or processed and broken fruit shells, lay the foundation, and then wait for the cement to be poured.

The third step is to build roads with all the people. Soldiers and civilians must work together, and all monks must be mobilized. As long as the millions of people in Hyunqing City are fully mobilized, the cost of building roads can be greatly reduced.

If there is still a shortfall in funds, then we can issue road construction bonds with a higher annual interest rate, or even use the right to collect road tolls as collateral to raise private funds of about 2 million spiritual coins.

Finally, after the highway is successfully built, we will attract investment to attract discerning businessmen to invest. We will provide preferential policies in the early stage and collect a certain tax later. If Hyunqing City can export more than one million tons of Xuanqing fruit every year in the future, Hyunqing City will Qingcheng's annual fiscal revenue is definitely more than 10 million spiritual coins.

But when it comes to attracting investment, Bai Ze has different opinions. Although there are many Xuanqing fruits here in Hyunqing City, they are a rarity outside. Some big cities sell them for thousands of spirit coins per catty. If you engage in attracting investment, let outside businessmen To make this money, wouldn't Hyun Qingcheng suffer a big loss?

Xuan Qing Guo is the only trump card that can be played by Hyun Qingcheng, and no one else can be involved. This is Hyun Qingcheng's exclusive treat.

"If we don't bring in businessmen, it will be difficult for us to make money."

"Xuanqingcheng has not joined the Wancheng Kingdom. No matter which city our caravan passes through, the tax departments of these cities can levy heavy taxes at will. The regulations of the Hundred Cities Alliance that the road tax should not exceed 5% have long been invalidated. We Our caravan has now had half of its property confiscated by other cities, and no force will intervene or stand up to protect our interests."

"Who made us a free city-state?"

“The only solution is to attract investment.”

"We also need to create several distinctive tourist attractions to attract tourists, vigorously develop the tourism industry, and use tourism to drive economic growth."

The tourism industry in Wancheng Country has appeared very early, and has even become an important part of the economy of some cities. After all, the world is a big place, and with developed and convenient transportation, people with money and leisure want to go outside and see it.

In addition to tourism, Hyunqing City can actually take advantage of the freedom city that is not under the supervision of the Wancheng State government to engage in some gray industries that harbor dirt and evil. However, after thinking about it, Zhou Ming still excluded these industries. To attract Wan Chengguo's attention for nothing and to secretly poach Wan Chengguo's corner is to seek death.

The grandson in front of him spoke eloquently and logically, and Bai Ze was even more shocked.

This grandson is only three years old.

But he showed such amazing wisdom, this...

Bai Ze even suspected that his grandson was possessed by some evil spirit.

But then he thought about it, this grandson was precocious since he was a child, which surprised him far more than this time. He started talking at six months old, read and literate at one year old, could read articles at two years old, and even read a lot of books at three years old... In addition, as usual The image of being well-behaved, sensible, and smart aggravated his nerves time and time again.

This time, it was just a little exaggerated.

"My dear grandson, your plan is very good. Grandpa will refer to it carefully. If it is feasible, he will implement it according to your plan."

Putting his grandson on his lap, Bai Ze kissed his tender little face with a kind face and said.

He really loved his grandson to the core, and believed that if this precious grandson inherited Hyun Qing City in the future, he would definitely create greater glory in this city than his ancestors, including himself.

"Okay grandpa."

Zhou Ming nodded obediently and made a request: "Grandpa, if you accept this plan I gave you, don't tell others that I came up with it, just say it was Grandpa. You figured it out yourself.”

"Uh? Why?" Bai Ze asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because I'm too young. If other people knew I was so smart, they would be scared. That's not good."

"Pfft~"

Bai Ze almost squirted out, this grandson really became a sperm.

Asked him: "Didn't your parents tell you?"

"Well, Grandpa, you only need to know about this kind of thing. Grandpa must keep it a secret for me." Zhou Ming blinked his round eyes and said in a waxy voice. His soul of thousands of years looked cute. Come on, it's also a suffocating operation.

"My dear grandpa will keep it a secret for you right now."

Bai Ze squinted and leaned his face closer.

"Yeah~"

The computer is finally ready, I will update more tomorrow
