In Anyang City Lord’s Mansion, Li Xian and other senior officials were discussing.
Ye Yan Ze'an, who was more sensitive to politics, finally expressed his opinion: "Young Master, there is one thing I have never figured out. Why do you want to hold the Cultivation Conference in the still desolate old place of Luliang County? This is not consistent with your behavior all along."
Xu Ren and the others finally looked over; indeed, it was true. At first, it was nothing, especially since Anyang was currently carrying out the ideological liberation movement, which made Xu Ren and the others busy maintaining Anyang's stability; now that Yan Ze'an raised this question, everyone finally realized the strangeness of this question.
Li Xian stood up, stood in front of a new map, and pointed at the location of Anyang: "You see, although the location of Anyang Old City is very good, the area is a bit small. Today, Anyang's development has almost reached its limit. The current ideological emancipation movement has made me see the limit of Anyang's current location. Now Anyang is developing faster and faster, and we need to build a new city. From now on, all economic activities will be placed in the new city; the old city will only be responsible for political issues."
Yan Ze'an frowned slightly, "Anyang is now about 20 kilometers in radius, and the center of Anyang is only less than 5 kilometers away. There is a lot of room for development!"
Li Xian raised his head slightly, his mind began to drift: "No, have you ever thought about Anyang's current rapid development speed, what will happen next year? What about three years later? What about five years later? Anyang's future development will be faster and faster; the latest fleet is already exploring further south; and with the convening of the Cultivation Conference, Anyang will inevitably become the center of the eastern part of Yingzhou in the future. We need a wider location to build a city, a brand new city. This city must have a development space of 100 kilometers or even 200 kilometers, be able to accommodate more than 50 million people, and have a completely open foundation and space for free development. A brand new city that is completely different from the past. In five years at most, you will know what explosive development is. Anyang has accumulated enough, and this Cultivation Conference is the last opportunity. The location chosen for the Cultivation Conference is a mountainous area in a plain, which is a location I carefully selected."
Seeing Li Xian say this, Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an and others stopped talking; Li Xian's consistent "correctness" in the past made him an absolute authority when planning Anyang's development vision.
Later, Li Xian looked at Xia Qingqing and asked, "Have you calculated the wishes of the graduates?"
Xia Qingqing immediately took out the notebook and said, "There are 144 people this year. After repeated screening and assessment, it was finally determined that 65 people are ready to start their own businesses. The remaining 38 people are ready to join the Brilliant Star Group, 27 people are ready to join various government departments, and 14 people are ready to join the army."
"Okay!" Li Xian nodded. "In this way, those who join the group, the government and the army can directly participate in the assessment of each part, and the person in charge of each part will be responsible. As for those who want to start a business, tell them that they have one month to make a plan; one month later, that is, after the end of the Cultivation Conference, I will personally assess their respective plans; at that time, the bank will provide a total of 10 million taels of gold, three years of interest-free loans. The first place can get 1 million taels of gold, and the last place will get 30,000 taels of gold; and the amount in between will decrease in sequence. Also, tell them that after the Cultivation Conference, Anyang will build a futuristic city at the former location of Luliang County, and the Anyang government will only be responsible for guiding all the construction and development of this city, and the rest will be left to the Merchant Group; let them seize the opportunity and keep it confidential."
