Chapter 395: New Town

"Gambling is poisonous. The topic of discussion today is how to deal with the poisoning of one's own people by the social climate. ”

Ji Aojian was in the city hall, looking around at everyone, "Now that we are on the territory of San Francisco, whether it is the underworld or the white way, or the official road and the business road, we have already dominated the world, if we can't solve this problem, then we really have no shame to face our compatriots." ”

"These days, fines don't help. Shi Jieliu immediately said, "Actually, cutting off your hands is a good punishment, but it's a pity that you didn't stick to it." ”

"Nowadays, there is a shortage of labor in the Americas, how can we arbitrarily deprive a person of his ability to work?" Ji Aojian waved his hand, "The consequence of this is to cause a waste of a large amount of human resources, and it is completely uneconomical in terms of economic cost." ”

Quan Xiaohui said, "Then should we strengthen education?"

"Preaching or something, for people with gambling addiction, it is only the left ear in and the right ear out, and it can only be an indicator but not a cure. "It's not even as reliable as a fine." ”

Hu Zhongzi coughed, "Poor Dao thinks that it is necessary to educate the people a lot and make them realize that anyone who commits gambling will go to ......hell after death."

"There are Buddhist temples and Taoist temples everywhere in China, where have you ever seen where gambling is banned?" Shi Xuanliu looked at him with a sarcastic expression, "Wake up, Dao Chief, the name of going to hell has long been used up, and the world doesn't care about one more gambling crime." ”

"Stopping gambling is a big problem. There was a sigh in the room.

Ji Qingsu spoke, "I think my brother has already had a complete plan. Everyone just needs to listen to his arrangement. ”

As soon as the governor said this, everyone immediately stopped speaking, and only looked at Ji Aojian.

Ji Aojian pointed at the map. "If you want to break the gambling style, you should take the policy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Someone asked, "What's the bottom of the kettle?"

"The plan now is to move all the Chinese people, as well as the Indians, to the other side and live and work there. ”

Let's look at the map again. The topography of San Francisco, located on a lonely peninsula, is almost isolated from the American continent by San Francisco Bay. And Ji Aojian's hand. It is pointing to an area across the bay that is completely connected to the interior.

Shi Jieliu was the first to wake up, "Ji Gongzi, you mean to build a new city on the other side?"

"Exactly. Ji Aojian nodded. "The original San Francisco. As a dedicated place for drunken money, it only develops entertainment and consumption activities, and is open to the whole of the Americas and the world. ”

Ling Tan had been to Mexico City and had a deep feeling for the developed underground gambling city, "If this continues, the city will be full of gambling halls, and the old San Francisco will not become a gambling city?"

"Yes, this will be the first casino in the world. ”

The words "Las Vegas". As soon as it fell into the ears of everyone, I couldn't help but feel that it was a city of sin and a place of extreme evil.

As mayor of San Francisco. Quan Xiaohui said worriedly, "If this city becomes a gambling city, wouldn't its image be very corrupt in the eyes of the world?"

"You're thinking too much. Ji Aojian said casually, "The gambling industry can stimulate the local economy, improve the quality of life of residents, and also increase the proportion of the tertiary industry, and it is a smoke-free economy and a green economy, representing the civilized development direction of environmental protection and ecology." In the future, there will soon be a trend of legalizing gambling, and one gambling city after another will rise from the ground. ”

"If the casino is so eco-friendly, why do you want to move our compatriots?"

Ji Aojian rolled his eyes, "Dao Chief, why don't you have any professionalism at all, this is fooling others, do you need to believe it?"

Quan Xiaohui exclaimed, "Young Master, you are really a liar!"

"How can this be a lie?" Ji Aojian said, "As long as it takes a few years, when the compatriots are familiar with and accustomed to having a gambling city around them, they can be allowed to come in and engage in positions in the gambling industry and related industries." You have to keep in mind that in all the stable and long-lasting casinos, the locals do not gamble, and all the tourists from outside the city send money. ”

"But now, with an eco-friendly casino here, how do we convince everyone to move to the other side?"

"It doesn't need to be convincing at all. Ji Aojian pointed to the map, "What do Chinese do when they leave their homeland and come to the Americas, they come to work and earn money." Now there are jobs on the other side, and there is a shortage of manpower, so all the people on this side have to be pulled to work. ”

"What's the job?"

"First of all, we have to build a new city, and at the same time we have to build a new port. After the construction of living quarters in the new town, the next step was the construction of factory areas including steel mills and shipyards. When these are finished, we will need not only a large number of workers, but also a large number of sailors for the fleet, and a large number of laborers to build the railroad that extends to the outside world. Ji Aojian spread his hands, "In the next many years, the work will never be finished, and if you have a stable job and work every day, will you have the time and energy to cross the bay and gamble?"

"A bay that separates two worlds. Ji Qingsu nodded, "Xincheng is an industrial area, and it is full of hot energy of production, so naturally there is no atmosphere of gambling." ”

"On the other side is the leisure place of the rich, and on the other side is the factory of the toiling masses, and there is no need for communication between the two sides, and there is no language and ethnic barrier. Ji Aojian said with confidence, "Coupled with the management of the Three Emperors Guild and the supervision of the police station, it is difficult for people with heavy gambling habits to abscond over." ”

Shen Xiaolei swallowed and said, "Childe, what if someone really has no intention of working and absconds to gamble?"

"Then exile him from here. ”

"What kind of exile?"

"Join the fleet, let him sail for many years, and see where he finds to gamble. Ji Aojian pointed to the shoreline on the map, "San Francisco is now the largest port on the west coast of North America, in fact, the coastline resources on the other side are more abundant, and the potential for building a port is even greater. The maritime trade here will definitely become a world-class port in the future, and we need a lot of ships to transport goods. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pile of papers and placed them in front of Ling Tan.

"Childe, what is this?"

"They are all owners of small and medium-sized vessels, mortgaging the certificates of the vessels. Ji Ao Kendao, "You can put all these ships together and set up a maritime trade transportation company first." ”

"Where did you get all this?"

"Isn't gambling prevalent in San Francisco now? Many shipowners who come here with their ships can't help but gamble for money, and after losing the gamble, they want to get their money, and if they want to get money, they have to borrow usury, and if they want to borrow usury, they have to have a mortgage, so they take their own boats over. ”

Since ancient times, there must have been a monopoly on usury around casinos. It is still a good ending to leave after losing, once you borrow high-interest black money, it is to completely jump into the fire pit and not overrise.

"Gambling ruins a lifetime, borrowing from the poor for three generations. Ji Aojian said lightly, "Actually, I also opened a few pawnshops near the casino, and it seems that the interest rate is not so high. ”

Ling Tan asked uneasily, "Are you sure that none of these shipowners will be able to ransom the ship?"

Naturally, they have already lost all the money they borrowed, and now they are all panning for gold one by one. ”

Ling Tan smiled, "That's good, we won't have to worry about transportation anymore." ”

The rest of the people also nodded one by one, no longer worrying about the future development.

Move all the compatriots to the other side, build houses in full swing, build factories in full swing, produce in full swing, and transport in full swing.

"This new city will be the hub of California, where maritime and rail hubs meet. So this is the new capital of California, and we're going to build a magnificent governor's palace to declare our rule over California. ”

The original San Francisco development destination was a gambling city, and it was a bit ugly to be the capital of California, and it was obviously more appropriate for a new city to be the capital.

"The current goal is to have the construction of the new city by the end of the first half of this year. Ji Aojian paused, "All projects must go all out, work ten hours a day, and rest at most one day a month." ”

Everyone was taken aback, "Is this a little longer working time?"

"In the early stage of industrial construction, we must not slow down, and building an industrial foundation is more important than anything else. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "The working hours I have set are much better than the sweatshops in Britain, and much better than building railways for the Americans." In the future, the work treatment in this new city will definitely attract foreign immigrants to come, and you will know that this is the most generous place in the world. ”

Quan Xiaohui asked, "What is the name of such a kind new city?"

Historically, this place was originally called Auckland City, but since it was built by its own people, Ji Aojian naturally would not use this name again.

"This is the dream land of immigrants, where all hopes, all achievements, and all glory will become reality through hard work. Ji Ao Kendo, "This city is called Dream City." (To be continued......)
