Xu Jichao first introduced that the US flooding team had arrived in Tianjin eight days ago. There were 73 people in their group and two labor ships, both of which were engineering ships of more than 2,000 tons. After a day of rest, the flooding team immediately conducted on-site surveys and started working. After five days of work, the first one was salvaged from the water was the British Armored Cruiser Arora. The top point was ◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓

In addition, the Tianjin Shipyard project has also begun. The first batch of surveying and design personnel from the United States and a batch of engineering equipment have also arrived in Tianjin with the salvage team. They negotiated with the engineering and technical personnel of the crosser to discuss the location layout of the shipyard, and also began on-site surveys. However, some in the executive committee believe that even if there is a shipyard built by the Germans in Qingdao, the Tianjin Shipyard seems to be duplicated and it is recommended to cancel the Tianjin Shipyard project.

Some people also believe that Tianjin will be the Time Travel Group and China's important commercial terminal in the future. It is entirely necessary to have certain ship repair and construction capabilities. Therefore, the functions of Tianjin Shipyard and Qingdao Shipyard are not repeated. However, there is still a certain gap in the United States' industrial technical capabilities compared with Germany. From the perspective of future maintenance and development, the two shipyards are better to adopt the technology of the same country, so they advocate that the Tianjin Shipyard project be handed over to Germany for construction.

However, both suggestions face the problem of breaking the contract, after all, the deposit has been paid.

In other engineering projects, the Jingu Highway has been completed, and the construction team that built this highway is now building a road from Tianjin to Kaiping Coal Mine. However, there was originally a railway between Tianjin and Kaiping, so this highway is just a supplement. The Biaohuai Road is lower than the Jingu Highway. The Ministry of Construction plans to only build a two-lane road at present, and the road quality is as long as the fourth-class highway in the old time and space, the standards of low-level roads are enough.

At this time, the total population in Tianjin had reached 735,873, of which the agricultural population was 514,362. Although it was still quite far from the normal level in Tianjin, it was quite difficult to recover to more than 70% of the population in a short period of time after the robbery of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Tianjin's new rural construction has also made significant progress. Currently, 24 new rural areas have been built, and there are 3 new rural areas under construction, with a total of 2,852 residential buildings and 358 residential buildings under construction.

More than 20,000 farmers have moved into new homes. Although this proportion is not high in the agricultural population in Tianjin, it can play a considerable demonstration role. Other farmers returning to Tianjin have also been properly resettled. After all, a large number of old houses are left in the rural areas of Tianjin. They can move in with a little food, which is enough for farmers returning to Tianjin to have houses and allocate to considerable land. Of course, time travelers also took the opportunity to disrupt the previous layout of the rural areas with blood clans as the link.

Li Songchen, who is in charge of rural work, suggested to the Executive Committee that the construction of the new countryside has achieved phased success, but the subsequent projects can be slowed down. After all, the construction of the new countryside is a long-term project and cannot be completed within one or two years. Now the farmers who have returned have been resettled, and the Travel Group has other projects, so there is no need to invest limited resources in the countryside again.

The next step in rural work is to build grassroots administrative organizations in rural areas. The 24 completed and three new rural areas under construction have been built, which are the key demonstration projects for the time travelers to Tianjin's agricultural transformation and construction. We strive to select village cadres from the villagers and train them to form village committees. The time travelers will gradually escape from the grassroots and move to higher-level management work.

In the old city of Tianjin, the social order in the new district has completely returned to normal. At the same time, the time traveler has also controlled a number of industries in the Tianjin area. The two largest industries are Kaiping Coal Mine and Lishunde Hotel, as well as four real estate and three foreign-funded enterprises. These are all transferred by Decuilin to the time traveler. The time traveler also operates 8 small-scale factories in Tianjin, including clothing factories, cement factories, glass factories, brick factories, wood processing and manufacturing factories, printing factories, machinery processing factories, agricultural fertilizer factories, etc., with about 1,800 industrial workers.

The first batch of 100 machines ordered by the Traveler has arrived in Tianjin, including 40 looms, 25 spinning machines, 10 machine tools, 320 horsepower steam engines, and 5 500 horsepower steam engines. It is planned to establish a weaving factory and upgrade the machining factory, expand the production scale of other factories, and expand the number of industrial workers to 3,000.

At the same time, Tianjin Customs and the tax system of the time traveler have been initially built, and the current tax collection has exceeded 200,000 taels of silver. Moreover, the autumn harvest work has been completed. Since the time traveler canceled this year's agricultural tax, the harvest in rural Tianjin this year is generally acceptable. The time traveler has also harvested about 6,000 tons of various grains from the uninhabited fields, which has initially solved the grain problem.

After listening to Xu Jichao's summary introduction, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng were also quite excited. After all, it was only more than four months, so it was quite good to achieve such results.

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that Tianjin's development form is very good."

Xia Bohai didn't smile and said, "What I just said was the achievements, but there were many problems. Let's continue listening."

Xu Jichao continued: "As the order in Tianjin is restored, most factories, enterprises, and foreign companies have started construction. We have lifted the original restrictions on Chinese people in the concession. In addition, it is the slack season, which has caused a large number of old towns and rural people to flock to the new district to find jobs, which has caused a series of social problems. First of all, there is a random setting of stalls. There are too many people, and there is a demand for consumption. Relatively speaking, the residents and industrial workers in the new district have higher incomes, which has formed a strong consumption capacity, attracting many rural and small vendors to pick them up.

The stall truck sets up stalls and sets up stalls in the new district to do business, but this has brought great difficulties to our urban management, environment, public security, etc., and even fights have occurred due to price and pound problems. Now we have designated a street to set up stalls to facilitate centralized management. However, this is not a long-term solution. The Executive Committee has made a resolution that after the New Year, a farmers' market and several commercial streets will be built in the new district for professional management, and the market management rules are being formulated."

"The second problem is the accommodation problem of migrant workers entering the new district. People living in the old city can still go out day and go back and forth at night, but it is difficult for people in the surrounding rural areas to travel between cities and rural areas every day. Their accommodation is a serious problem. Although there are several hotels in the new district, the prices are too high, and migrant workers can not afford to live in at all, and the housing that hotels can provide is limited. Now the new district urgently needs a large number of simple and cheap rental houses. In the new district, someone has built rental houses privately, but we found it and stopped them. The Ministry of Construction has been in the new district. A large number of simple sheds have been built in the district to temporarily accommodate these migrant workers, but this is just a temporary solution. In the next step, we plan to choose a location to build low-rent housing for migrant workers and strengthen management. In addition, in the factory that belongs to our time-travel group, we will also build workers' dormitories to set a demonstration and encourage other factories and enterprises to build workers' dormitories. At the same time, the Ministry of Construction also plans to build a batch of commercial housing in the new district and sell it to industrial workers with certain economic conditions. What is the factory and enterprise operators, of course, can pay in installments."

Xiao Jianjun said: "Isn't this planning to engage in real estate development?"

Xu Jichao nodded and said, "Real estate development is an inevitable trend in urban development and construction. Tianjin is one of the highest urbanized cities in China in this era, and there is absolutely no need to carry out certain real estate development."

Qin Zheng said: "I am not against real estate development, but have you ever thought about how to resettle our people? Although our focus will be shifted to Qingdao, a considerable number of people must be left in Tianjin. So can they buy these houses, do they have preferential conditions, and if they buy these houses, how can safety issues be guaranteed?"

Xu Jichao said: "At present, we believe that time travelers should be prohibited from purchasing commercial housing, but instead of building residential areas in a unified manner to facilitate management. Housing can be distributed to travelers for free, but the property rights belong to the travel group. After the conditions allow, the travelers will be opened to purchase commercial housing. Of course, real estate development is only a proposal from the Ministry of Construction. Whether to implement and how to implement it needs to be discussed at the Executive Committee, and everyone can also go back and think about it carefully."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Well, this matter should be discussed seriously. Are there any other social issues?"

Xu Jichao said: "There is another more important issue, which is the prostitute issue."

Xiao Jianjun was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this a problem?"

Xia Bohai looked serious and said, "This is of course a major social problem. With the development of the economy and the increase in flow of people, the flesh and blood business will naturally develop. Moreover, most of the people who work in the city are men. They also need to solve their physiological problems. If there is demand, there will be supply. There is no need to make a fuss. We must also face this problem with a normal attitude."

Xu Jichao said: "According to our understanding, there are many people working in prostitutes in the Tianjin New District and the old city, some are individuals and some are industrialized. However, industrialized prostitutes are basically in the old city. It turns out that there are many brothels in the old city in Tianjin, and the prostitutes in the Tianjin New District are basically individuals. Of course, prostitutes from the old city come to attract customers. In the consumer group, there are not only locals, but also time travelers."

Xiao Jianjun interrupted again and said, "There are still time travelers?"
