It also created huge financial revenue and operating profits.

Because the population in Hong Kong is so dense, it can be said that every inch of land is precious. The British Hong Kong government can harvest a huge amount of money just by selling the land obtained from reclamation. It makes more than a million dollars.

Of course, large-scale reclamation will also have many negative effects. For example, reclamation in places such as Kowloon has reduced the water area of ​​Victoria Harbor, narrowed the channel, and weakened tidal power, thus threatening the safety of ships traveling back and forth.

Reclamation will also cause environmental problems such as deterioration of water quality and loss of habitats for marine animals and plants. This problem was mentioned in the movie "Mermaid" by Star Ye. Because of human reclamation, mermaids have no place to live.

But there is one thing to say!

In real time and space, a big reason why Hong Kong's economic development slowed down a lot after its return was because after 1997, there were too many critical voices, which led to the cessation of Hong Kong's reclamation operations.

Urban development requires land. Green land and mountainous areas are difficult to develop because they are private lands, and large-scale reclamation has been stopped.

Millions of people in Xiangjiang can only squeeze into a small space. If they want to expand, they have no place to go. They can only involute crazily, causing the gap between the rich and the poor to continue to widen, and citizens complain.

"I know that the northern metropolitan area will be in a lot of difficulties due to land issues, so we have to cut the knot quickly and use the rare period of martial law to clean up Yuen Long, Fanling and other places and get the land use rights in our hands."

Lei Weidong clenched his fists and smashed the North Road, "This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. Mr. Huo, Mr. Dong, if you miss this rare opportunity now, then you will want to develop the north and turn it into a northern metropolitan area. Within twenty years,

There’s no need to think about it.”

"In this way, Mr. Lei, you will bear all the infamy." Seeing the firm look flashing in Lei Weidong's eyes, it was obvious that his mind had been made up, Mr. Dong reminded.

"No one is perfect. My reputation in Xiangjiang is too high. If I don't do something to benefit others and lower my reputation, everyone will not trust me. And I don't need to attack everyone. I only need to deal with dozens of people."

Rich locals and a few wealthy families.

I just need to be polite first and then attack, holding a knife in one hand and a banknote in the other, and it should be easy to handle."

"If you can't handle it, some people don't even give up their lives for the land, so why would they ask for money?" Mr. Dong reminded.

"If you risk your life for the sake of the land, it's easy to deal with it." Lei Weidong shrugged, "These people are local snakes, and they are the bosses in the countryside.

All enlightened landlords are landlords, and I don't believe they made any mistakes in the past.

In the past, they were allowed to escape because they could not be arrested without evidence.

Now it is under military control, and people can be arrested without evidence. If that doesn't work, they can mobilize the masses to fight against the landlords. Just like in the mainland, it is easy to get rid of the landlords.
