Chapter 172 Municipal Administration (2) (7th today)
Vladimir, Ivan and his uncle and nephew walked into Dingjun town while chatting.●⌒,.
This city has been established for eight years. It is neither young nor old in the East Coast Republic of China. However, due to its location, its developed commerce, and years of wars have greatly promoted the city's new handicraft industry. Therefore, with many aspects, Dingjunbao, the hub city, has developed rapidly. Now its total population has reached 6,000, of which 2,000 urban residents live in the narrow and crowded Dingjun Town, breathing dirty air, eating greasy and unhealthy food, drinking the strongest white wine, sweating and working, and then transforming the fruits of their labor into the sword of the country's external conquest.
Due to the innate shortcomings in the early days of the city's construction, Dingjun Town, a hub city that communicates with the Brazilian Plateau and the Beiyazi Lake Industrial Zone, is now becoming more and more crowded. There is no way, the number of new handicraftsmen and their families need to settle down, and the imperfect management of the town-level government makes the city now appear a messy feeling, just like some industrial areas in other places in China, such as the garbage everywhere and the odorous Luoqia County Marine Industry Supporting Industrial Zone. Of course, the urban transformation action of Luoqia County, the marine industrial zone of Luoqia County is almost completed. The local hygiene situation has been greatly improved, and the production efficiency has also been improved to a certain extent, which is also surprising. Could it be that a comfortable and beautiful environment is really beneficial to the handicraftsmen maintaining a good mood and continue to produce more and higher quality products in an excellent state?
However, if Dingjun Town wants to be renovated now, it may not be allowed by the superior government. What? There are so many old cities on the East Coast grassland that have a history of 20 or 30 years need to be renovated. Your city that has only been established for eight years also wants to be renovated. Are you kidding? Mobilize your own residents to renovate!
"Dingjun Town is too cramped now. I have been building railways and highways here for a few years. Almost every month I can see many people relocate to the city to find opportunities. Some people succeeded, stayed in the city to get married and buy land and houses; others failed, and then rolled up their luggage in shame, boarded the nearest train, and went to the Brazilian plateau to reclaim wasteland. This is also their last way to support themselves, and they have no choice." Vladimir pulled Ivan into a familiar restaurant and ordered some food casually.
Later, he continued: "The people who successfully settled have occupied the last little space in the city, and there is no doubt about this. Because the city uses limited land, almost as long as there is a corner left, people will rush to the town government to buy it, and then recruit workers to build their own houses; wherever there is an extra gap, people will build houses there to block it. Our laborers sometimes take on such small jobs. Although they don't make much money, they are also a small supplement during the project break period..."
While listening to Vladimir's words, Ivan looked up at the buildings in the city. I saw that the closest place was a residential house. The residential house was divided into three rows, with the bottom row adjacent to a somewhat dry stream (now also used as a discharge channel for domestic sewage). The two rows of houses at the back were built on slightly higher ground. How to build roads in this architectural pattern to take care of all aspects?
"Actually, it's okay now, the weather is cold. But when the weather is dry in summer, stench and bubbles will often rise from the dirty river opposite you, polluting the environment and air, and greatly affecting people's mood. Did you see that wooden bridge? It's the wooden bridge that spans this sewage river. I was lucky enough to pass by the bridge in the midsummer when the heat was hard to subside. The stench emitted on the river under the bridge made me feel upset and bad." Seeing Ivan turning his eyes to the river that has been criticized by the two thousand residents of Dingjun Town for a long time, Vladimir introduced this, and listening to his tone, the man who had lived in Dingjun Town for several years had a very bad impression of this river.
"So why not fill it out? Or transform it into an underground burrow to cover up the stench?" asked the young Ivan.
"Of course, there is a lack of sufficient funds. The tax system on the east bank now is that the central government occupies most of the tax quota. The local government is almost poor except for a few places. How can they have the financial resources to carry out such a huge project?" Vladimir said for granted, "This small river is a natural river. It is estimated that in the early stages of Dingjun Town construction, it was once used as the first source of drinking water for the first batch of residents. But who should dare to drink the water in this river now? But with the increasing number of urban residents, many people throw domestic sewage and garbage into convenience for convenience.
After entering the river, some handicraft workshops dumped a large amount of wastewater into the river, and the river was ruined. Later, the government was too lazy to take care of it, so it simply let it go and let this small river become a natural sewage pipeline for Dingjun Town. But the idea is good, but in fact, haha, who can bear such a smelly river for a long time? Even the officials of the health system strongly called on the Dingjun Town government to carry out large-scale transformation of this sewage river to avoid large-scale epidemics that should not have occurred in the city and cause serious consequences."
"And it won't work now." Vladimir continued, "Look, there are many silt places in this river now, and it is partitioned by the dam almost every short distance. Next to the dam, the stinking silt and garbage accumulated into a thick layer and is constantly rotting. If this continues, the river will sooner or later be filled with garbage and dirt, and everyone will suffer great harm. Therefore, the Dingjun Town Government has begun to transform the river into an underground burial to prevent the residents from throwing garbage into it. They have obtained some funds, and the remaining insufficient part will be mobilized to mobilize nearby residents to work hard to solve the problem. Unfortunately, this burial renovation project with a target of 35,000 yuan was stolen by the group of dogs and bastards from Valentino. Humph, their people seem to be only worthy of dealing with sewage and stinky silt."
Speaking of the East Coast Republic of China, the East Coast Republic has comprehensively revised the relevant contents of the National Labor Service Law since the previous year. In the old legal terms, each of the East Coast residents has the obligation to serve and serve the military. Not to mention labor service, each person will pay for money for more than the service of the government, which is considered employment. As for military service, except for those who formally join the army, everyone else has to receive militia training of varying lengths within three months of winter. This is an old tradition passed down since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. No one dares to violate it, so it has been implemented over the years.
However, the government later discovered that in winter, all employees' training not only affects production, but also consumes money. Especially today, with the increasing population of the East Coast, militia training once became an important financial burden for the government, so reforms later had to be carried out, that is, a county only retains militias organized by one security regiment for winter training. The size of the security regiment is determined by each county, with only about 300 people at a minimum and a maximum of 2,000 people at a maximum of 2,000 people. Therefore, this reserve and national mobilization system were finally maintained.
However, setting up a county security team to avoid the trouble of running around in winter training, but it is also easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people who were elected as militias because they paid more than others for free. Therefore, in order to balance their dissatisfaction, the new National Labor Service Law stated that while militias conduct military training for 45-60 days (the time is mastered by each place) in winter, these people who have not been selected into the county security team will also serve more than 30 days and start to carry out infrastructure work in the county, such as dredging, widening rivers, digging ditches and reservoirs, building roads and warehouses, etc. In short, it will not leave you idle.
Of course, if you are unwilling to serve labor, you actually need to solve the problem. You can spend money to find someone to serve. Anyway, the government wants someone to work, and the same is true if you invite others to come. Therefore, paying for labor is more popular among urban residents. Many Russian or Italian labor workers have experienced serving on behalf of others. The money is not much, but it is also a little income, so they just treat it as a odd job.
This time, the underground culvert renovation plan launched by the Dingjun Town Government is to use part of the funds to recruit construction teams and labor workers to work, and then exercise the government's corvee collection power and mobilize a large number of people to dig ditches to greatly reduce the consumption of the entire project. After all, the funds they applied for were limited and the budget was tight, so they could only use this method. This undoubtedly created a boom in the entire labor market, which made the demand for foreign labor workers in the East Coast have been in a gap in the demand for foreign labor workers.
In one step, the three major labor gangs of Valentino, Mendes and Goshkin were in chaos and sent effective personnel to return to the old continent. Then, they used their respective connections to deceive people, recruited people with a worrying economic situation, and asked them to work on the east coast. Sometimes these people would even openly kidnap beggars on the street, and then sent them to the cabin to lock them up, waiting to be shipped to the east coast, and local officials would even turn a blind eye to this.
However, it is not a big deal for those who always harm their country. I heard that Mendes has increasingly shifted its business focus to Ireland, where there are a large number of cheap labor that cannot survive; and Valentino began to extend his claws to Naples, Sicily and other places, which are also seriously overpopulated. As for Goshkin, this guy began to work hard on provinces such as Astrakhan in the southern part of the Russian Empire, intending to fool more Ross animals to work on the east coast. In short, these people are like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, showing their magical powers. Of course, this is also what the East Coast authorities are willing to see, because in this way, the team of foreign workers from the east coast will become larger and larger, and many domestic construction projects can be launched in advance, which is definitely a great thing.
"And after the renovation is completed, the town will also promulgate new and stricter sanitation regulations, such as garbage must be thrown into designated locations, such as sewage must not be dumped at will (the existing streets in Dingjun Town are neither paved nor drained ditches), such as pigs that are not allowed to be raised in residents' yards (pork is very expensive on the east coast), etc. "Vladimir grabbed a roasted lamb leg bone and said while tearing it to eat: "Look at the place where garbage is piled up in front, the debris, the place where the garbage is piled up in front, the debris, etc.."
, rotten fish, rotten meat, waste, etc. everywhere, and the smell was stink, almost becoming the largest source of pollution in the entire city. There is also the famous manure pile in the southeast corner of the city. The boss has a deep background and many connections, so he has accumulated at least fifty cubic meters of manure. Well, okay, let's call it the inventory of a great manure merchant. This manure is mainly sold to suburban farmers, and is sold by cars, and to cater to the employer's preferences,
He always keeps a core because the more the feces are, the higher the price. All of this has led to the smoky and chaotic environment. Fortunately, all of this is finally over. The government wants to transform urban drainage facilities, formulate new sanitation management regulations, take back the work of the garbage contractor and manage it themselves. These are all progress. Although the grassroots government is not rich, some money cannot be saved. Otherwise, the garbage in the house, the soap residue in the soap workshop, the feces in the toilet, the wastewater from the leather workshop, and so on will not be handled, and the ultimate harm will be the interests of everyone. You must know that the stinking rotten garbage piles and the stench that keeps emanating from the stagnant ponds are often the easiest to cause large-scale plague transmission. This is not a joke. There have been many such lessons in the old continent. Besides, there have been a collective cholera epidemic in Dingjun Town before, and many people died that time."
After hearing this, Ivan was speechless, and at the same time, he thought that if he was admitted to Qingdao Luqiao School (a secondary school), he would definitely design a clean, beautiful, modern and great city after graduation. In short, it would no longer be as messy as Dingjun Town.
After the two finished their meal, they were about to take the train to Shengyun Township in the north. They still had a railway project completion award there. At two o'clock in the afternoon, a La Plata Star train from Ping'an County drove into the Dingjun Town Railway Station in a roar. In addition to the usual materials being moved and unloaded, a large number of immigrants also got off the train and immigrated to the platform to rest.
