Chapter 1136 The Shanghai Wharf Company that was served by a pot
The ship that Chen Lifu was riding was a new-style schooner, and its speed was naturally much faster than those traditional ships, and it didn't take long to leave Jinling City behind and head towards Shanghai.
When Chen Lifu was already the first to leave, the Chen Mansion also continued to prepare, his concubine and eldest son, accompanied by dozens of servants and maids, took their Chen family's own ship to Shanghai to meet Chen Lifu!
However, Chen Lifu is too lazy to take care of these, and there will naturally be a housekeeper to deal with these affairs, even if the housekeeper is not good, his eldest son is still there.
Don't look at his eldest son is only in his teens, but most of the people in this year are precocious, women can get married at the age of fourteen, and men, teenagers are generally strong laborers in the family.
If you are a scholar, you can usually go out hundreds of miles to study alone at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Men who are thirteen or fourteen years old in this year, especially when he is still a scholar, are basically more mature, and can even be the masters of the house.
With a housekeeper and eldest son, Chen Lifu is not worried about the follow-up family's itinerary, he has more important things to do.
As far as he knows, at present, the county magistrate of Shanghai ad hoc county and the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture have not yet been officially selected, and the controversy on the cabinet side of these two important positions is still relatively large, even the Son of Heaven has not made a decision easily, before leaving Beijing, Chen Lifu heard that the Son of Heaven is going to meet several candidates again, and then it is possible to make a decision.
In this case, it is estimated that it will not be possible to make a decision for half a month!
Therefore, when Chen Lifu arrives in Shanghai, theoretically speaking, he will be the highest-ranking person in charge of the entire Songjiang Mansion, of course, even if he is the highest theoretical person in charge of Songjiang Mansion, but in fact, it is impossible for him to actually act as an agent for the affairs of Songjiang Mansion.
Because now the Taoist of Jiangnan Province is personally seated in Shanghai!
However, even so, Chen Lifu hopes to take advantage of this time difference to lay some foundations, and then create some convenience for his subsequent tenure in Shanghai.
Therefore, when he was on the ship, he had been studying the situation in this Songjiang Mansion!
Songjiang Mansion, because of the existence of Shanghai, this is also doomed, the affairs of the entire Songjiang Mansion, in fact, are carried out around Shanghai, there is no way, who let the economic volume of a single Shanghai county occupy more than 90% of the entire Songjiang Mansion.
If it weren't for this, Shanghai County would not have become an ad hoc county, and a county order would not have been a positive four products.
After the Zhou Lide case, most of the officials in not only Shanghai County, but also the entire Songjiang Prefecture were purged, and those who had problems were either beheaded, imprisoned, exiled, or dismissed from their posts, or devalued, and even some officials who had no problems were transferred.
The officials who stayed behind did not stay in their original positions because of the promotion of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County.
After all, after the reform of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County, the grade of the chief official has been greatly improved, and correspondingly, the grade of the subordinate officials will also be improved.
In the past, a section chief in Shanghai County had a grade of only seven grades, but now, a section chief of a special county in Shanghai has a grade of five grades.
Naturally, it was impossible for a large number of low-level officials to be promoted several levels at once, so the vast majority of officials were transferred from other places.
The Ministry of Officials has been busy for more than a month for the affairs of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai, except for a few important positions, such as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, Tongzhi, and the county order set up by Shanghai Special County, most of the other positions have been determined.
In other words, after Chen Lifu arrived in Shanghai, he would not face a situation where no one was available, because the Ministry of Officials had basically restructured the Yamen of the Prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and the county Yamen of Shanghai's ad hoc counties.
This kind of transfer involving hundreds of officials, if it were placed in other dynasties, may be very difficult, and it is also easy to cause confusion.
But for the Tang Dynasty, it's not a big problem!!
After all, the current Tang Empire has only been established for more than ten years, and it has only been more than two years since the real unification of China.
This kind of thing has been experienced not once or twice, but hundreds or thousands of times, and the Datang officials have already had a complete set of mature plans for this.
Therefore, after the reform of Songjiang Mansion was determined, a large number of officials arrived in Songjiang Mansion one after another like Chen Lifu.
Chen Lifu can be regarded as a relatively late official, and after him, only the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and the county magistrate of Shanghai Special County are left.
The transport ship of the postal department was really fast, and it didn't take long for their ship to arrive in Zhenjiang, where people and transported documents and materials were moved off the ship, and at the same time, people, materials and documents were moved onto the ship.
However, the stay was not long, and after just an hour, the transport ship set sail again, and then continued down the river.
Then they arrived in Yangzhou, Changzhou, Tongzhou, and Suzhou one after another, during which some people boarded and some disembarked.
In the end, the ship arrived at Wusongkou and then headed for Shanghai along the Huangpu River!
This is a regular official flight between Jinling City and Shanghai, passing through Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang and Shanghai.
It's not the first time Chen Lifu has come to Songjiang Mansion, he has been to this place many times before he joins the office, even after joining the office, he has been to this place many times because of official business.
So he thinks he is quite familiar with Songjiang Mansion and Shanghai.
But this sense of familiarity is a little strange after actually arriving in Shanghai, because the Shanghai you see is a little different from the Shanghai you remember.
Looking out on the north side of the business district on the north shore of the ship, Chen Lifu remembers very well that the last time he came to Shanghai, the place was still desolate, but now, there are a lot of unfinished houses and many facilities, but there are only lonely construction sites, but there are no workers busy.
Although Chen Lifu doesn't know anything about engineering or anything like that, he can see at a glance that this should be building a wharf.
In the face of this change, even Chen Lifu couldn't help but exclaim: "This change is really fast enough, how long has it been, and a new port will be built again!" ”
At this time, there is also a humane next to it: "But isn't it, when the empire established a treaty port here, the wharf in Shanghai was just a small wharf, but now you see, there are two large ports alone, the port of the trade zone and the port of the industrial zone, no matter which one, it is quite huge, and now there is a third port, I heard that this port is the third phase of the project developed by the Shanghai Wharf Company, and the basic investment alone has reached more than 200,000 taels of silver. It's just that some time ago, the Zhou Lide case, the Shanghai wharf company was very involved, and I heard that many of the company's projects are now all suspended! ”
Hearing the key words of Shanghai Terminal Company and the shutdown, Chen Lifu frowned slightly!
As a member of the officialdom, and he is also the new governor of Songjiang Mansion, he naturally knows that this time the Zhou Lide case was detonated from this company!
Shanghai Wharf Company, which is a local state-owned enterprise, nominally belongs to the management of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, but in fact it is dominated by the local government of Songjiang Prefecture, this company is also different from many other state-owned enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises of Datang, and most of the other state-owned enterprises are mainly in the manufacturing industry, such as the three major weapons companies, Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, and so on.
However, the Shanghai terminal company is a port service and real estate development enterprise, and its biggest asset is the land management rights on both sides of the Huangpu River.
When it was decided to open the port to trade in Shanghai, in order to better build a business zone and carry out all kinds of development, the government expropriated the entire land along the Huangpu River at market price in advance, most of which were all kinds of tidal flat wasteland, and some were farmland.
Not to mention a large amount of monetary compensation, several large new villages have been specially built, and a large number of houses in them are used to supplement the resettlement of displaced people.
However, at that time, the finances of Shanghai County and even the entire Songjiang Prefecture could not come up with so much money, not to mention, there were various infrastructure construction and development in the later period.
At that time, the central finances of the empire were also relatively difficult, and the domestic unification war was in full swing.
At that time, the officials of Songjiang Prefecture just slapped their heads, damn, why should the treasury pay for it, can't it be enough to directly set up a port company for development.
As a result, the Shanghai Wharf Company was established here, and the official took the management rights of the 34 square kilometers of land on both sides of the Huangpu River as the company's assets, while the Shanghai County Finance Holding held 60 percent of the shares, and the Songjiang Prefecture Finance held the remaining 40 percent of the shares.
At the same time, it is clearly stipulated that there shall be no change in the company's shares.
The land acquired by the company is not the ownership of these lands, the ownership of these lands still belongs to the empire, and the terminal company only has the right to manage, free authorization, and it is a free authorization without a clear period, because the authorization of this management right can be withdrawn at any time!
That day, the authorities took back the management of the land, and the Shanghai terminal company was actually worthless!
After all, no one had ever tried to use the state's land to set up a business, and what if the company was acquired by someone else in commercial activities? Wouldn't that be the case, even the state-owned land would be acquired, which would definitely not work.
In order to avoid policy risks and obtain approval, the officials of Songjiang Prefecture simply restricted the share transaction and could withdraw the authorization of land management rights at any time.
However, even so, the establishment of this company still caused a great discussion among the central government, and after the final approval, it also caused a wave of government-run enterprises in various places.
And now, the company is caught in the wave of corruption!
The corruption incident not only wiped out the company's management, but more importantly, it also shook the company's business development.
The construction of the third phase of the pier is suspended, which is a rather bad sign!
