I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Not only the development of Guangzhou and Shanghai is different, in fact, the development of different places in Dahua is very different.

Some places have already started modernization and industrialization, and some places are still purely agricultural societies.

Wuhu, because it was recovered early, is close to Nanjing, has minerals, and enjoys geographical dividends.

When Dahua was first established, it was the most affluent area in the country.

However, with the rise of Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, the development here has also slowed down.

Even, except for the steel manufacturing industry, and several industries related to steel manufacturing, the development of other aspects has been stagnant.

No way, people who want to make money have long gone to Nanjing, who would invest in Wuhu.

To open a steam engine factory in Wuhu, all parts have to be purchased in Nanjing, which is very inefficient.

In today's Wuhu, five out of ten workers are steel workers, which is very single.

There is a similar development in Huainan, which has become synonymous with coal mines.

Nowadays, when people in Nanjing talk about Huainan, they think of coal.

Then, and then no more.

They don't know and don't know what Huainan has other than coal.

Of course, this is also normal, Huainan has nothing but coal.

The coal mining industry here is very developed, and all kinds of large-scale mining machinery and equipment are currently the most advanced in Dahua.

However, even the simplest coal truck could not be built here, and it was all purchased from Nanjing.

Those coal traders who have made a fortune rarely stay in their hometowns, and most of them move to Nanjing to live a good life.

It is foreseeable that when the coal here is exhausted, it will decline rapidly.

Compared with Huainan, Nanchang is even worse.

The development conditions here are much worse than those in coastal cities.

Not to mention expecting others to come here to invest in industry, even some porcelain workshops in Nanchang have closed down one after another, and then they chose to go to Shanghai.

After all, Dahua's porcelain is mainly used for export, and producing it in Shanghai can save a lot of transportation costs and make the product more profitable.

Today, Nanchang has become Dahua's largest cotton-producing area, a source of raw materials, and specialized in agriculture.

Industry, this temporarily cannot develop, unless the central government will give support.

But this has to wait. There are too many cities of the same level in Dahuali and Nanchang, where can they support them?

However, Nanchang is still lucky, at least water transportation is more convenient, and the area around Poyang Lake is suitable for the development of large-scale agriculture. By growing cotton, the income of the people here has also risen a lot.

A place like Ganzhou is basically no different from the Ming Dynasty. It is still a typical traditional society where men ploughing and women weaving.

The impact of Dahua's rapid development has not yet radiated to such remote areas.

The gap in regional development has always been clear to Wu Changqing.

Moreover, he has also started to plan in this regard.

Some important places must be given some financial support to support their development.

In the past, it only focused on the head areas such as Nanjing and Shanghai, but now the development of Dahua has been on the right track, and it is almost time for the national layout.

Only by utilizing the resources from all over the country can we speed up the overall development of Dahua.

For example, Wuhan, Nanchang, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Jinan, and Tianjin all contain potential for development. …

The benefits of supporting the development of a Wuhan are not only to develop a city in Wuhan, but also to drive the surrounding areas through Wuhan.

Just as Nanjing can drive the development of its surrounding areas, Wuhan's development can also drive its surrounding areas and radiate large areas.

A city can radiate a limited range, no matter how well Nanjing develops, its impact on the Hubei area is extremely limited.

But as long as Wuhan's industry is established, then Wuhan can drive the entire Hubei.

However, the amount of central finance is limited, so it is impossible to support all places at the same time. It needs to be carefully considered where to support first.

Wu Changqing and the central cabinet ministers need to weigh the pros and cons, consider the selection of the first batch of supported places from multiple perspectives, and strive to spend the money on the edge.

For local officials, there is no need to think about it so much, and they support 100% of their place to be supported.

Even the prefect of Guiyang, which is far away in Guizhou, gave a brief to the cabinet, explaining the importance of Guiyang's development.

Whether it is reasonable or not, this is not important, what matters is attitude.

The prefect of Guiyang knew in his heart that this kind of request would definitely not be approved, and it would never be the case of a provincial government office like Guiyang that no one knew about.

However, the last paper, to fight for Guiyang, can at least show his thirst for development and his positive working attitude.

When the news that Wu Changqing wanted to support local development leaked out, local officials from all over the country began to ask for a place to be supported.

After all, the most important indicator of their political achievements for promotion is the local economic development.

Some places are purely for fun, such as the prefect of Guiyang, the prefect of Wuzhou and others.

In some promising places, local officials have made this the most important task at the moment.

For example, officials in Wuhan, Nanchang, Ningbo and other places are bound to get this support.

for

Expounding the local development advantages and convincing the emperor, these officials are also desperately researching related knowledge.

If you can't even tell a little advantage, how dare the court give money casually?

At present, most of the local officials in various places are traditional officials left over from the past, and they are not very good at economics.

And now they also know that if they want to get financial and policy support, they have to prove that they can do economic work and can convert the support of the court into income.

Supporting development and poverty alleviation are two different things. The former has profit requirements, while the latter does not.

Incompetent or unconfident officials may not dare to apply for a support quota.

If the place is obtained and the place is not developed, the court will definitely be held accountable at that time.

Of course, most of the people who can achieve the position of prefect are capable and ambitious. Even if they are not good at economics themselves, they can ask others for advice.

Winning the spot first is the key.

A copy of the memorial was successively sent to the cabinet and to Wu Changqing's desk.

However, most Wu Changqing would not read it.

He probably had a range in mind for the first cities to be supported.

If it is not within this range, the officials below will be useless no matter how good they are.

Wu Changqing identified a group of cities, and then handed it over to the cabinet for discussion, and asked them to pick ten cities from this group.
