With the great success of several industrial zones in the Tang Dynasty, especially the Guangzhou Industrial Zone, the popularity of the Shanghai Industrial Zone has attracted the attention of countless people, and many officials who want to make political achievements want to build an industrial zone in their own jurisdiction.

However, except for a few special cities, it is very difficult for other places to open industrial zones, and the financial resources of the higher authorities are limited, so they will definitely give priority to supporting those places that have potential and are easy to produce results to run industrial zones, and it is quite difficult to rely on the localities themselves.

If it is so easy to run an industrial zone, other places have already done it, get a quick land, hang a sign and say that it is an industrial zone, and you can do it anywhere, but if the industrial zone is started, it is another thing to have enterprises stationed there.

If you don't have the advantages of resources, transportation, and convenience, can other businessmen come to you to invest and build factories? People have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it!

Spending precious financial money on the ground, but in the end there are no companies to settle in, then this is not a political achievement, but a scandal.

Feng Kailong thought about it for a long time, and he was very clear about the gains and losses of running an industrial zone, but he also knew that if he wanted to fight a turnaround, he had to do a big job!

He doesn't want to be a low-level official for the rest of his life, and the tax provided by the current Erjiu Fishery Company is an opportunity for him to be promoted to a knighthood, take advantage of this opportunity, and he must climb up!

So he gritted his teeth, and then said: "If the money is not enough, save some and make it smaller, if the businessmen from outside do not come to invest, we will mobilize the local gentry to invest, and we will build this industrial zone in Lingao!" ”

"We don't make the stall too big in the early stage, first small-scale and targeted, don't we have a 29 fishery company? It is completely possible to surround the Erjiu Fishery Company first, we will only do the fishery peripheral industries for the time being, and make our fishery bigger and stronger! ”

"The Son of Heaven said that all localities should make full use of their own advantages and expand their ideas to improve people's livelihood and let the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Feng Kailong thought very clearly, although there is a lot of risk, it is easy to lead to the investment of funds, thus becoming a joke of his colleagues, but he knows that this is his opportunity!

However, although he planned to build an industrial zone, he did not say that he would do it in a big way as soon as he came up, and he directly chased the current hot industries, such as textiles, raw silk, machinery, and steel.

Lingao small place, its own no special resources, and not a traffic artery, not much financial support from the superiors, why Lingao and those big city industrial areas to seize investment?

So he didn't think about these hot industries at all!

Does Lingao have an advantage? The others don't, but they have an Erjiu Fishery Company, which is their biggest and only advantage, using the Erjiu Fishery Company, they can become bigger and stronger in the fishing industry.

They are just a small county, as long as they become bigger and stronger in the fishing industry, then it is enough.

Feng Kailong made a decision, and the industrial zone in Lingao County was quickly determined, and in a few days, the Lingao Industrial Zone was officially established, just in the coastal area not far from the seaside wharf, well, it can also be said that it is just next door to the Erjiu Fishery Company.

Although the report requesting financial support from the higher level has already been handed over, Feng Kailong knows very well that at most, he can get a small amount of financial support from the Qiongzhou government, but don't count on the support at the provincial and central levels, and the bulk of it still has to rely on Lingao County itself.

The scale of the industrial zone is not large, and the investors it intends to attract are not outsiders, but the local gentry of Lingao County, or the gentry of Qiongzhou Island.

For people outside, the Erjiu Fishery Company may not be nothing, but in Lingao, in Qiongzhou Mansion, the Erjiu Fishery Company is very famous, Lingao Industrial Zone is playing a supporting service for the Erjiu Fishery Company, the development of fishery signboards, to attract those businessmen to invest, the effect is still some.

For the locals, the Erjiu Fishery Company is a typical representative of making money, and now there is an opportunity to have a relationship with the Erjiu Fishery Company and even cooperate, they also feel that there is a future, many local businessmen have promised to wait for the industrial zone to do a good job, they will go to the industrial zone to open a factory, the scale is not large, dozens of people, hundreds of people, but for Lingao Industrial Zone, this is not small.

Therefore, although the difficulties are great, Lingao Industrial Zone has entered the formal preparation stage.

The emergence and development of Lingao Industrial Zone can be regarded as a more typical example of the current Tang Dynasty, and now the southern provinces of the Tang Dynasty, because they are far away from the war, the focus has basically been on the three major aspects of stability, education, and people's livelihood, among which the development of local economy is a problem that the leaders of each local yamen need to consider.

It's just that each place may take a different path, the land is fertile, and the land is cultivated, and agriculture is engaged; mining with mineral resources; Those who have transportation resources to engage in trade, and all kinds of conditions are more superior, directly engage in industry!

Even Yangzhou, a city that prospered because of salt merchants, but declined rapidly because of the disappearance of salt merchants, is also looking for its own road to economic transformation, engaging in trade, inland river transportation and so on.

After the time entered the autumn of the sixth year of Xuanping, with the success of the Northern Expedition, although the southwest, Liaodong, and northwest regions have not yet been taken, and there are still a total of two or three hundred thousand Ming troops and Tang troops fighting in various places, but on the whole, war is no longer the main theme of the Tang hinterland, but development is the main theme.

The change in Li Xuan's own work status can profoundly reflect this, during this period of time, he was busy with various internal affairs, but military affairs were relatively few.

However, although there are few busy military affairs, it does not mean that there are no more!

In late September, Li Xuan officially convened the Yuqian Navy Strategic Development Conference, and the topic of this meeting was very clear, that is, to discuss and determine the development plan of the Datang Navy in the next three or even five years.

Now the Tang Dynasty has ruled most of the coastal areas, only the Liaodong Peninsula has not yet been controlled, but the strength of the Ming army and naval divisions in that place is basically zero, and the navy is absolutely free to come and go with its current strength.

Therefore, the future development of the Tang Navy is no longer out of consideration of the need for a unified war, but also for the subsequent need to maintain the empire's maritime frontiers and protect overseas interests.

Therefore, at the meeting, Li Xuan put forward a clear demand for the Datang Navy: "In the next three years, the main task of the Navy is to build a powerful ocean-going navy with sufficient capabilities to maintain the empire's maritime frontiers and safeguard overseas interests, and at the same time build a number of large-scale naval ports, supplement logistics ships, and strengthen the navy's sustained combat capability!" ”

At the same time, Li Xuan also stressed that in the process of development, the navy should not only pursue a certain quantity, but also pursue quality and performance.

It is necessary to develop and apply various new technologies, especially the role of the steam engine, Li Xuan talked a lot about the application direction of the steam engine in the future, and asked the navy to attach great importance to the development of steam engine technology and increase support for steam engine technology.

At the same time, it is also proposed that the navy's naval artillery technology is still following the old path, and it needs to innovate and apply new technologies!

Who said that naval guns must be front-loaded? After-sales are also possible

Who said that naval guns must fire at a distance of two or three hundred meters, and they can fire at a distance of five hundred meters or even more, what, long-range accuracy is not enough, then solve the problem of accuracy, design a new aiming method, and build a fire control system, think about it, there is always a way.

Even if it can't be realized for a while, but with a direction, only by increasing investment, I believe that technical personnel will give the navy a satisfactory return.

In the entire imperial meeting, Li Xuan rarely did not be silent, but spoke at length, from strategy to technology, Li Xuan was eager to teach them how to do the navy.

Moreover, they even taught and scolded, so that they should not always stare at the domestic coast, even the East Asian seas are definitely not the limitation of the Datang Navy, let them look farther, a little farther.

What is there to see in the South Sea, to the west, there is the Indian Ocean, across the Indian Ocean, over Africa, that is the Atlantic Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope to the north, that is Europe, and continue to the west, that is South America.

Then from the mainland to the east, the endless Pacific Ocean has already been proven by the Spaniards to be traversable, not to mention the richness of North America, just the Pacific Ocean is so big, there must be many islands in it, maybe you can find a natural treasure land.

When the navy goes out, the domestic merchant fleet will be able to go out with it, and the profit of maritime trade is not great? Fools know big!

But without the protection of the navy and the control of the transportation arteries in various sea areas, how can we develop maritime trade?

Now you have to sneak in even a trip to Europe and the Indian Ocean, and in this case, what should the Navy do?

At this time, a group of navy bigwigs had guessed how to answer, but they still shook their heads in unison like elementary school students, looking at Li Xuan with a look of admiration!

Li Xuan pointed directly to Malacca on the map: "Here, if the empire wants to go out and go further, the empire must control Malacca!" ”

When he said this, Li Xuan had actually formulated the next strategic direction for the navy!

That is to seize Malacca and lay the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to go out of the South Seas and march into the Indian Ocean!

And with this, we will expand and trade overseas on a larger scale!

At the end of the meeting, Li Xuan stood up directly, then walked to the huge world map on the wall, and pointed to Southeast Asia, India, Africa, North America and South America while saying: "Here, here, and here and here, those are the territories of the empire since ancient times, I want to take them back!" ”

As he spoke, Li Xuan paused slightly, then looked around at everyone present, and said word by word: I want the empire to never set! ”
