I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

There are so-called local rumors about the disturbances in the imperial court.

However, being an official at the local level has such an advantage, and some matters in the court do not need to be mixed.

As long as the local governance is good, you can get promotion.

Songjiang Road, Shanghai Prefecture.

Today's Songjiang Road, the jurisdiction and the Shanghai municipality in later generations almost overlap, including Jiading County, Qingpu County, Jinshan County and other places, which belong to the central government, and the administrative agency is equivalent to the province.

The original Shanghai County has also been upgraded to a government, and it has jurisdiction over Shanghai, Huating County, and Qingpu County.

The prefect of Shanghai is of the fourth grade, the capital of Shanghai is of the fifth grade, and the magistrate of Huating County is of the seventh grade.

Ouyang Shiqi is currently the capital of Shanghai, and he has been promoted very quickly.

However, the official rank has been upgraded, but the things and sites in charge have not changed. It is still the place in Shanghai.

He couldn't even control Huating County, which was next to him.

This made Ouyang Shiqi very depressed, because the land by the Huangpu River was becoming less and less.

As a result, a large number of workers can only live in Huating County, where the rent is cheaper. Those factory owners and company owners like to build staff dormitories in Huating County.

Building dormitories for employees in Shanghai is too extravagant, and not many companies can afford to build them.

However, although Huating County is close to Shanghai, it is still some distance away.

In order to make it easier for employees to commute to get off work, Ouyang Shiqi discussed with Wang Zhangwu, the magistrate of Huating County, to build a public carriage route from the workers' residential area in Huating County to Shanghai.

What Ouyang Shiqi meant was that the construction of this route would be beneficial to both parties, so the money, of course, would be shared by everyone.

Moreover, Shanghai is more affluent, and Ouyang Shiqi is still willing to make a big contribution, and only needs Huating County to share a small part.

It is a pity that Wang Zhangwu is a thief. He knows that Ouyang Shiqi really wants to build this line, so as to reduce the commuting time of employees and improve efficiency.

Therefore, he did not agree to pay.

Not only did he not agree, but he also had to give him some subsidies from Shanghai County, otherwise he would drive all those workers out of Huating County.

This rogue appearance made Ouyang Shiqi angry, so he directly read a book, saying that Wang Zhangwu hindered the development of Dahua for his own selfish interests.

However, Ouyang Shiqi also knew that this kind of impeachment was useless.

Because Wang Zhangwu often impeached him, saying that he only cared about the development of Shanghai and refused to help the poor surrounding areas, resulting in a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the two places, and the people's resentment was huge.

Faced with this kind of thing, it is often just a verbal criticism and will not interfere.

After all, this kind of thing is not easy to manage, the father said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable. No matter who is in favor, the other side has an opinion.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Shiqi also took advantage of the surrounding counties.

Take advantage of the geographical location to make a lot of money from manufacturing industrial products, and then buy cheap farm products in the surrounding counties.

The surrounding counties were jealous of Shanghai's ability to make money, and wanted to increase the price of agricultural products, Ouyang Shiqi dared to directly import it from other places, and included the magistrates of Huating County and Qingpu County in his several books.

Of course, Ouyang Shiqi also has his reasons for doing this. In his words, it is to concentrate resources to develop advantageous areas, let some people get rich first, and then those who get rich first will drive the surrounding areas.

Concentrate resources to develop faster.

But the problem is that Wang Zhangwu and the others have been waiting for a year or two, and they feel that Shanghai should be very rich and can start driving the surrounding areas, but Ouyang Shiqi feels that Shanghai is not rich enough and wants to suck the blood of the surrounding areas.

This inevitably led to a bad relationship between him and his neighbors, and it was also due to the fact that he was an official in the same dynasty, and it was two different countries.

Wang Zhangwu could not be expected to do good deeds, and in desperation, Ouyang Shiqi had to find another way.

He once again set his sights on the large area on the north bank of the Wusong River.

Thanks to the rapid development of Dahua's current construction level, they already have the ability to build such a 100-meter-long bridge.

The current problem is that there is no money.

Shanghai is very rich, but there are many places where you need to spend money.

Ouyang Shiqi is a more radical person. If he has money, he immediately invests in development. Basically, he does not leave any money to deal with special circumstances.

To build a steel bridge with the highest technology content and the largest scale, the money required is astronomical, at least one million yuan.

Because there is no relevant experience, it is impossible to predict how many difficulties will be encountered in the construction.

The engineer can't guarantee how much it will cost, but he just said that it would be better to prepare two million yuan to start the construction.

Two million, this is not a small amount for the entire Dahua.

For a Shanghai city, it is even more so.

That is, Shanghai is relatively wealthy, so it dares to think like this.

In other big cities such as Xuzhou and Zhengzhou, if you say that it will cost 2 million to build infrastructure, the local prefect will simply ignore it.

Two million, I'm afraid I haven't woken up.

Two million, Ouyang Shiqi didn't care much. After all, he spent tens of millions of yuan on infrastructure construction in Shanghai in the past few years.

At the same time, he also knows that this kind of money is absolutely worth it, and it has great benefits for long-term economic benefits.

But the question is, where to get this money?

Although Shanghai is rich, its taxes are also high. Last year, the tax revenue reached 2,000.

five million yuan.

However, a large part of this money has to be turned over to the central government to support construction across the country.

A small part will be sent to Songjiang Province to support the construction of other places in Songjiang Province.

The real amount of local finance left to Shanghai is less than 10 million.

The annual budget is 10 million yuan. If this is done elsewhere, those officials will wake up with a smile from their dreams.

In a poor place like Guizhou, the fiscal revenue of a province is less than one million a year.

But for Shanghai, which is developing rapidly every day, this 10 million is really not much.

This 10 million yuan has long been determined by Ouyang Shiqi to be used, and now there is no way to embezzle it.

"We have to find a way to raise money again."

Ouyang Shiqi patted his forehead. This is the most he has done in Shanghai in the past three years.

Sometimes he felt less like an official and more like a businessman.
