Chapter 1023.

In order to control the people above this wasteland, the consortium had long been accustomed to keeping all production resources firmly in their hands, water resources, land resources, it could be said that everything that the people depended on for their survival had been controlled.

When Zhang Jinglin was at Barrier 113, he had said to Ren Xiaosu in a meaningful way: this is a world that has been carefully designed by the consortium.

Earlier, even Zhang Jinglin didn’t have the vigor to break everything.178 The fortress couldn’t even go and accept all the stragglers, simply because if you were the breaker of this rule, then everyone would turn on you in droves.

For example, L.A.C. wanted to open up the barriers completely, so that there would be no distinction between exiles and barriers, but they were warned by the Kongs, Wangs, and Zhous just before they started the change.

In the end, they came up with something like “visa”, and there was still a huge gap between the displaced people and the barriers.

Now, Ren Xiaosu not only wants to implement land reform, but also wants to completely tear down the wall between the barriers and the stragglers in the northwest.

In fact, Barrier 144 had already done so, after all, it was impossible to keep people out of the city when you were trading through commerce.

Ren Xiaosu said, ”I’ve read a lot of books, but it’s all on paper, so I need all of you to make a group effort. I’m simply just speaking my mind right now, Barrier 144 as the largest barriers to commerce in the Northwest, this place should have been a bit more open than the rest, and the speed of innovation should have been a bit faster than the rest. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, I’ll carry the load if there are any.”

The big lug silently looked at Ren Xiaosu, regarding Zhang Jinglin’s attitude of not caring about Barrier 144, he knew it best.

He knew very well that Commander Zhang did this originally because he wanted to see how Ren Xiaosu was going to lead this city and play out a new world.

I am afraid that Ren Xiaosu himself did not realize that he just wanted to solve the problem of food shortage, but in fact, what he is doing now has already involved the “line policy” this height.

At this time, Wang Yun thought for a moment and said: “But in fact, regarding the pros and cons of the contracting system, we still need to discuss it. As you all know, when this system is implemented, there will be many people who are willing to own their own land, even if it is only for a few decades. But in terms of farming efficiency, this is instead not conducive to large-scale mechanized production.”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and replied, “I think it’s the right time to open up the land, there’s too much land in the Northwest that needs to be reclaimed, we can divide the development process into phases, it’s still too early to mention large-scale mechanized production in the current phase, and we don’t have the conditions for it. We have to bring up the farmers’ motivation first, so that the wilderness can be turned into farmland first.”

“I’m in favor of it,” Wang Yun said with a nod.

“With this privatization process, we still have to pay attention to the annexation of land by large households, so it’s best to put restrictions on contracting contracts,” Wang Yuezhi said thoughtfully, “And I think it’s not only possible to contract the land, but also to let them contract the brick factories, contract the workshops, contract many, many things. But the premise is that the economic lifeline should always be in the hands of Fortress 178, this is the foundation that cannot be shaken.”

Ren Xiaosu’s eyes lit up, “Wang Yuexiu has hit the nail on the head, nowadays our productivity in the Northwest is still a few notches behind compared to the Central Plains, but if we mobilize everyone’s motivation and take advantage of everyone’s profit-seeking nature, perhaps the Northwest will have a sudden and drastic change. However, everyone should be aware that when something like a brick factory is contracted by a private party, it’s likely that there will be extremely nasty incidents of exploitation, so the supporting labor bill should also be followed up.”

On the side, Yang Xiaoguan always sat silently as she propped her chin up to look at Ren Xiaosu’s side face.

In the past, Ren Xiaosu always held a book and read whenever she had free time, even in the wilderness.

Some people think that reading is useless, but Yang Xiaoguan saw the charm of books from Ren Xiaosu at this time, this stray teenager never stopped charging himself, and now the time has finally come to blossom.

Now if she asked Wang Yuexiu: Do you believe that Xiaosu used to be an ordinary migrant, and couldn’t even afford to go to school?

I’m afraid Wang Yuexiu is determined not to believe.

If Ren Xiaosu did not consistently read books and understand the world, then even if Ren Xiaosu is outstanding in the world by force, it is impossible to become the real master of the Northwest, Zhang Jinglin is also impossible to value a reckless person who can only solve problems by force.

Earlier everyone did not understand why Zhang Jinglin chose Ren Xiaosu, only he himself knows, he saw infinite possibilities in this young man.

When this young man was still a refugee, he was willing to squat on the fence to listen to the class, that attitude of knowledge once even Zhang Jinglin also want to feel ashamed of themselves.

Ren Xiaosu never stopped on the path of enriching himself.

In other people’s eyes, Qing Zhen is a innate demon with great wisdom and close to a demon, and such a character deserves to shine brightly in this era.

But in Yang Xiaoguan’s eyes, Ren Xiaosu, a pragmatic young man who believed that diligence could make up for clumsiness, was even more valuable.

Ren Xiaosu explained to Wang Yuexiu, “The entire Barrier Administrative Center is going to be busy, publicity has to keep up, it’s your business to do ideological work for everyone.”

Wang Yuexii nodded his head and wrote things down in his book, “But there is another problem, opening up the land requires seeds, the seed reserves in the Northwest are not enough to support such a large-scale opening up of the land.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “This is when you can see the importance of friends, the seeds we need will be delivered by Qing’s people in a few days.”

Wang Yuexii froze for a moment, he had heard that the Young Marshal had a close relationship with the Qing Clan, but he did not expect it to be true.

Ren Xiaosu continued to explain to Wang Yuexiu, “The labor bill, the contracting system, all need to be improved by you as soon as possible.178 The Fortress Bank side also needs to be communicated with, we need to open up small loans to support the residents’ willingness to contract. They need money to buy seeds, and they need money to buy raw materials after contracting factories, we need to take all aspects into consideration.”

At this time Wang Fugui cheerfully laughed: “This Northwest Chamber of Commerce can do it, we have money, why don’t we set up a bank ourselves ……”

The result of Ren Xiaosu resolutely shook his head: “This kind of thing must not let Yunsu participate in it, you can contract something yourselves, but things involving the economic lifelines of the Northwest you don’t intervene, the matter is about the entire plan of the Great Hing Northwest, the economy can’t be hijacked by the merchants in the hands. Maybe the Northwest Chamber of Commerce won’t make any trouble while I’m still around, but you and I will leave this world one day, and I can’t watch a new consortium be born in my hands.”

There could be a great rich merchant in the land of the Northwest, this rich merchant could even be rich in the world, but he must not have the ability to shake the foundation of the Northwest, this was Ren Xiaosu’s principle and bottom line.

Wang Yue breath took a deep look at Ren Xiaosu, he knew that Yunsu was actually Ren Xiaosu’s private property, to be able to restrain this temptation at this time was enough to make him Wang Yue breath look several times higher.
