Chapter 574 Hongze Settlement

There is a helipad on the top of the building. In the corridor outside the helipad, Wei Qiuyue, who had received the news, had been waiting.

She was wearing a white business suit and waiting alone in the corridor outside the helipad.

When she saw a white special plane appear from the southern sky, her eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on her face.

As Wei Qiuyue watched, the white special plane approached the government building and landed slowly on the helipad.

"My lord!"

When Li Meng walked out of the cabin with Chen Nannan, Wei Qiuyue hurried to meet him.

Standing on the metal floor, looking at Wei Qiuyue who came up, Li Meng smiled faintly and said, "Qiuyue, long time no see."

She was not called Minister Wei, but Qiuyue. Such an intimate name made Wei Qiuyue blush slightly, and she smiled and said, "My lord, long time no see."

Slightly sideways, Wei Qiuyue made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them walked along the corridor to the inside of the government building.

Following Wei Qiuyue, Li Meng entered the government building.

As a government building for a settlement, its scale is naturally not small, with hundreds of people working here.

Under the leadership of Wei Qiuyue, Li Meng and his party of three entered the district chief's office.

On the sofa, the three sat opposite each other. After nodding to Chen Nannan, Wei Qiuyue asked Li Meng with curiosity: "Why did you suddenly think of coming to Hongze Settlement?"

With a faint smile, Li Meng said: "Now the population of Black Flag City is increasing, and agricultural development cannot be left behind. I came to see it when I was free. How about it, are you used to it here?"

With a slight smile, Wei Qiuyue said: "Although there are many things to do, I have a collective under me. It is very easy for me to be the district chief. However, compared with the district chief, I prefer the identity of the Minister of Agriculture. It makes my life very fulfilling. Watching the endless farmland outside changing every day is the best reward for me."

Wei Qiuyue is not a workaholic. She just likes to watch the crops grow day by day, bloom and bear fruit, and finally welcome the harvest moment.

There is no doubt that Wei Qiuyue likes her current job, which shows that Li Meng's decision is right. It is a very accurate approach to hand over these three agricultural settlements to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Speaking of this, Wei Qiuyue said happily like a child: "Sir, do you know that because we can control the temperature, the crops we grow can be harvested at least four times a year? We have done experiments. Take wheat as an example. The fastest maturity cycle is 59 days, nearly two months, and at least five times a year. Other crops with shorter growth cycles are not mentioned. The highest record is nine times a year. Hongze settlement has been put into use for only more than four months, and a large number of grains of all kinds have been harvested. If the problem of fertilization can be solved, these three settlements are enough to provide food for tens of millions of people."

Why did Li Meng establish these three agricultural settlements? The purpose was to solve the demand for food. With such a result, Li Meng was naturally happy.

Li Meng stood up and said, "Take me for a walk outside. This clear and green scenery can't be seen in Black Flag City."

Quickly stood up, Wei Qiuyue smiled and said, "I knew that you would not be able to resist going to the farm. I have arranged a car."

With a slight smile, Li Meng said, "You are thoughtful."

With a slightly red face, Wei Qiuyue hurriedly said, "Sir, please come this way."

It was still early, and in the following time, Li Meng took Chen Nannan and followed Wei Qiuyue to stroll around Wei Qiuyue's Hongze settlement.

A silver sightseeing car was moving slowly on the metal road among the green fields.

The sightseeing car was not big, semi-open, and could seat six people. Because it was easy to drive, anyone could get started quickly.

Wei Qiuyue acted as the driver, and the three of them took the sightseeing car and toured along the road.

"Sir, look, on the right is the sugarcane plantation, which is the raw material for making sugar. Since the demand for sugar is not too large, there are only more than 400 acres, and it should be able to increase to 1,000 acres next year."

The more than 400 acres of sugarcane plantation is not big, but not small. However, for the current Black Flag City, the output of 400 acres of sugarcane is definitely not enough.

The sightseeing car continued to move forward. When the dense sugarcane forest could no longer be seen on the right, a vineyard appeared in Li Meng's eyes.

"This is black grapes, which are the best tasting grapes in the New World. They taste refreshing, are rich in water and moist, and are very suitable for making beverages. Now is the time to harvest."

Yes, it is the time to harvest. When seeing the vineyard, Li Meng also heard a pleasant female voice.

In the vineyard, some women in light yellow long skirts and uniforms were picking grapes. While working, they could also hear light laughter.

Seeing that the adults' eyes were on the pickers in the vineyard, Wei Qiuyue smiled and said, "It could have been mechanized, but in order to increase some jobs, a more primitive picking method was adopted. Although it is not efficient enough, it is more beneficial than harmful to Black Flag City. Once these women have jobs, they can also reduce the pressure on their husbands, which can improve the happiness of the citizens of Black Flag City."

In order to increase jobs and give everyone something to do, Black Flag City also deliberately eliminated mechanization during its rapid development.

Where manpower can be used, machinery will never be used. There is only one reason, that is, to increase jobs.

Li Meng does not want to raise the citizens of Black Flag City like pigs, living a life of having food and clothes provided for them.

"It seems to be District Chief Wei Qiuyue, is it her?"

"I have seen Minister Wei Qiuyue, it should be her."

On the road in the vineyard, Wei Qiuyue deliberately slowed down, which made the three of them discovered by the female workers in the vineyard.

"Who is the person behind Minister Wei Qiuyue?"

"Why does he look familiar? Wait, isn't that the Governor?"

"No way, how could the Governor come here?"

"It is the Governor. I am from the Qing'an Shelter. I have seen him. He is the Governor?"

Is it really the Governor?

When the female workers in the vineyard learned that the man sitting with Wei Qiuyue was the legendary Governor, they were excited.

They came to the roadside with curiosity on their faces, secretly looking at the sightseeing cars on the road, with only admiration and curiosity in their eyes.

In their cognition, it was the Governor who built the Black Flag City and the settlement, keeping them away from the cold current and hunger, and away from the threat of strange beasts.

Not only that, the Governor is also an artist, and his paintings are so fascinating that people can never get enough of them.

Everyone is curious about such a legendary man.

How could Li Meng not see such a large group of female workers crowded in the vineyard by the roadside?

Facing those pairs of admiring and curious eyes, Li Meng smiled slightly and waved to them.

The governor waved and greeted them?

The response from Li Meng made the female workers blush slightly, a little at a loss, and shyly looked at the man on the sightseeing bus.

If only one person and a few people had such a reaction, it would be fine, but almost all the female workers had the same reaction, which was enough to show what kind of existence Li Meng, the governor, was in the eyes of the citizens of Black Flag City.
