Chapter 544: Qin Songwang's Plan
Xu Lang felt that he was thinking too much about it, and Yulin Bay should not encounter such a situation. If Yulin Bay really expands its army to 50,000 this time, it will even have the capital to turn against the Ming Dynasty.
Forcing Chongzhen to carry out land reform, or forcing Chongzhen to implement a constitutional monarchy, Xu Lang had more and more ideas.
The matter of occupying the city was resolved smoothly, and the following garrisons, conscriptions, and negotiations with Zheng Jie were all handed over to Li Fuqiang to deal with, and Han Wantao and others returned to Yulin Bay with two divisions of the New First Army, leaving He Chaoyong's third division stationed in Vietnam.
Qin Songwang came to Luan Xu's Land Planning Bureau alone. It is already mid-May, and in two months, Qin Songwang will step down as chairman, so Qin Songwang really wants to come up with a development plan for Yulin Bay before leaving office, so that he can leave something for his committee.
Qin Songwang thought about it for almost a month but didn't come up with any good way, and at present, the development of Yulin Bay is still on schedule, engaging in construction and trade on the one hand, and recruiting population on the other. Qin Songwang decided to discuss with Luan Xu first how Yulin Bay should develop next.
Luan Xu listened carefully to Qin Songwang's thoughts, but he didn't have any ideas, he just wanted Yulin Bay to develop faster.
Luan Xu smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing this, this chairman really didn't have any good ideas, and he said a lot of things that were not marginal, and he didn't come up with a specific idea.
Luan Xu brought Qin Songwang to the map of the entire Hainan Island, pointed to the map and said, "Chairman of the Committee, our next plan is to develop Yazhou and Wanzhou. Now the roads in Yulin Bay and the two places have been renovated, and all of them are cement roads. Liu Guannan and Sun Tianhao have discussed with me that they should open a public carriage from Yulin Bay to the two places to get both passenger and freight transport. ”
"Isn't this something already happening?" Qin Songwang asked, "I remember that it was decided when Xia Yang was the chairman. ”
"It's been there for a long time." Luan Xu said, "But that's our own transportation company, and we have a monopoly on it." Now there are more and more people and goods coming and going between the three places, and our own cars are not enough, so we want to open this route and introduce private capital. ”
"It's a good thing to have a lot of people." Qin Songwang said, "If you don't have a car, you can get more cars." If you let private people do this, then you will let others earn all the money. ”
Luan Xu was a little speechless: "Chairman of the Committee, do you know that the people are rich in Tibet?" We can't make all the money ourselves, we have to let everyone make money, and only when the economic development of Yulin Bay goes up can we have taxes. Besides, a few transport lines can earn a few bucks, which is not enough to buy a few guns. But if it is released, it will be different, and it can boost our employment rate. ”
Qin Songwang suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Luan Xu, what do you say will happen if we let go of all the industries in our Yulin Bay?" ”
Luan Xu didn't understand: "What all the industries, what we can open up now has basically been released, what else do you want to let go, you can't let go of our military scientific research institute." ”
"Why not." After Qin Songwang asked rhetorically, he didn't talk to Luan Xu anymore, and went back to the committee directly, leaving Luan Xu to look at Qin Songwang's back dumbfoundedly.
Qin Songwang returned to the committee and thought about it for a few days, came up with a plan, and held an enlarged meeting of the two committees, which was attended by all the members at home and the directors and directors of various bureaus.
Qin Songwang's plan is quite amazing, opening up all industries in Yulin Bay. It is not only a private industry, but also a military industry. All people can set up companies and factories to develop and produce any products, and in the future, the army in Yulin Bay will only choose to procure, and Shen Daxing's military research institute will only be responsible for research and development, not production.
This suggestion caused a sensation, and Shen Daxing was the first to disagree: "If we develop new machines and guns for others to produce, then there is a serious possibility of leakage." Which country have you ever seen whose top information is public, even for future generations. ”
Dong Fei also expressed his opposition: Now that some munitions industries have been liberalized, any arms production cannot be liberalized, and Yulinwan can only do it by itself.
However, some people expressed their understanding and support, and Sun Dalei and Sun Tianhao were representatives. The liberalization of the military industry will greatly increase the employment rate in Yulin Bay, and there are many drawbacks in the military industrial enterprises under the planned economic system. Especially in terms of recruitment, because the background of workers is also strictly examined, many outsiders cannot enter the military industrial enterprises to work. On the one hand, the employment rate has declined, and on the other hand, the number of workers in these enterprises has been seriously insufficient.
In addition to this, there is a problem. It is precisely because of the technical secrecy in the military industry that some theories about mechanics, physics, and chemistry have also been restricted to a certain extent in the teaching of the Yulinwan School. At present, although invention and innovation are encouraged in Yulin Bay, the vast majority of private inventions are technological improvements, and there is no theoretical innovation or brand new things. All cutting-edge technologies and cutting-edge industries still have to rely on the military research institutes and industrial bureaus to solve the problem, which also causes the slow development of the industrialization of the entire Yulin Bay and Hainan Island.
After arguing for a long time on this issue, Qin Songwang put away his plan: "Everyone, we will have a crossing conference soon, and I will step down." But I would like to say hello to you in advance, this plan will be submitted to the General Assembly as a proposal for a vote, and what to do will be left to the General Assembly to decide. ”
This enlarged meeting was supposed to end like this, but Liu Guannan also took advantage of this meeting to put forward a suggestion, asking for a large number of Westerners to be recruited into the civil service system, hoping that each department could allocate a certain number of places for Westerners.
Liu Guannan's suggestion has also been considered for a long time. The civil service system in Yulin Bay is modeled after the civil service system of later generations, and the regulations are more detailed. But perhaps it is precisely because the regulations are so detailed that many Ming Dynasty and Vietnamese who entered the civil service system did not understand what was going on, and they still did things according to the original mode of thinking. This is particularly serious in the patrol room, many patrols can't even memorize the regulations, or take the Ming Dynasty yamen to act, from time to time there will be patrols that violate the regulations and people sue the Federation and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
There are also some Ming Dynasty people, especially the new Ming Dynasty people, who dare not complain, but the impact on the entire Yulin Bay is great. Not long ago, there was a case in which a new patrol led to a Ming Dynasty revenge and beat the patrol in the middle of the night. Although the murderer has been caught and the patrol has been dealt with, this has also caused some people to be dissatisfied. Therefore, Liu Guannan means that he hopes that a certain number of Westerners can take on some work, because their understanding of the legal system and rules is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Guannan's suggestion hit the minds of most people, and the distance of this era is now becoming more and more prominent in Yulin Bay. Sometimes a good suggestion or regulation is not implemented, and even the United General Assembly vetoes it, which makes many travelers also have some thoughts of dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty. However, this matter cannot be solved all at once, and the distance of 400 years cannot be shortened by taking a few classes or memorizing a few regulations, which requires a long period of edification and education.
However, most of the Westerners in Yulin Bay have been recruited by the army, and the Westerners who have come recently have also come to do business, and there are very few who can live in Yulin Bay permanently, and even fewer can serve as civilian officials.
Liu Guannan put forward the suggestion that Xu Lang had put forward at the beginning, and recruited a large number of Puritans to Yulin Bay. After a deal with the British last year, Yulin Bay was fully opened to the Puritans, the first Protestant church was built in Yulin Bay, and the first 20 children sent to England to study had already left a few months earlier. However, there are very few British people who come to Yulin Bay, perhaps because of the long distance, or because the British do not know the reason for Yulin Bay at all, and there are less than 20 British people living in Yulin Bay, which is far from enough.
At present, Liu Jun, the head of the International Liaison Office, is in Singapore to contact the British, hoping to send a few boatloads of Puritans over. It's just that this matter is not so simple, the answer of the British is to do their best and return home to do a good job of publicity, as for whether anyone will come, and how much can come, only God knows.
