Chapter 117 Industrial Layout

The reorganization and awarding plan of the Tiance Army has not been announced to the public, but according to the reorganization plan of the General Staff Department, all units began to move one after another in the following time, and went to the garrison to adjust the establishment, but Yang Fugong, Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong, and others, who had been making every move in Guanzhong Guanzhong, were puzzled and nervous. Even Li Cunxiao, who was in Hezhong Province, received an order from Li Keyong from the front line of Daizhou in the north, asking him to find out the purpose of the frequent movements of the Tiance army and whether it was hostile to Hedong.

This half-month internal transfer and training also allowed the units to start a different kind of training, and the long-distance march was accompanied by the continuous running-in between the main forces, which virtually enhanced their combat effectiveness. It's just that this transfer within the Tiance Army made Zhu Quanzhong in the Kwantung nervous for a long time, originally he and Li Keyong reached an agreement and let go south, and had besieged Qin Zongquan's regiment in Caizhou, but the Tiance Army made him suddenly feel that he was under the enemy's back, and the garrisons of Huazhou and Shaanzhou bordering Chang'an were on alert day and night, and even Zhang Quanyi in the Bianliang and Luoyang areas was also urgently mobilized, and rushed to aid Huazhou when necessary, so as to buy time for the main force to return to help. As a result, it was only after the transfer subsided at the end of the month that all parties were dumbfounded, but this farce also accelerated the determination of Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong to sweep away the internal U-turn and compete with the Tiance Army. In this secret confrontation in the corner, Xuan Yingwei led by Hu Xiaosi did not let go of such a good opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that all parties focused on the garrison, and began to cooperate with the businessmen under the Department of Industry and Commerce to enter various places in Guanzhong and start the plan.

However, these have nothing to do with Li Xuanqing for the time being, after the meeting of the military department, Li Xuanqing once again shifted his attention and energy to civil affairs, in addition to the spring ploughing plan that the Department of Agriculture has begun, the seventeen business families that have been filed in the Department of Industry and Commerce began to receive orders from Murong Hanhai one after another, and briefly notified the industrial development plan that the Department of Industry and Commerce is ready to start, which involves a total of 29 projects in seven industries. Later generations referred to this industrial development plan as the first industrial development movement.

At this time, at the end of April 889, when the spring ploughing plan of the Department of Agriculture was coming to an end, Li Xuanqing convened Cen Tianshi, Murong Hanhai, Qi Hong, Yin Honglin and several others to hold a closed-door meeting to discuss the industrial development plan he had prepared during this time.

Li Xuanqing's industrial development plan is based on the process of industrial development of the Republic in later generations, but some specific contents have been modified, and its main purpose is to initially establish a complete set of industrial system, and strengthen the training system for industrial development personnel, through the early establishment of market needs, change the loopholes in the parallel world that have always paid little attention to scientific and technological talents, and complete the most critical step of the industrial revolution.

"Lord, the content of your industrial development plan is incredible, and many of them are not prepared at all now, how should we proceed?" It took a few days to read Li Xuanqing's plan of more than a dozen pages, and Cen Tianshi smiled bitterly: "We are now more clear about salt making and iron smelting, but behind this papermaking, printing and chemical industry, we either only have a little foundation, or we don't even have a shadow, not to mention these mechanical manufacturing things that seem to be sideways." ”

Li Xuanqing shook his head, expressing dissatisfaction with Cen Tianshi's words, but he also knew that in this era, equipment manufacturing was basically regarded as a learning of machine kits, so he patiently explained: "Sir, don't look at the back, industry is divided into light industry and heavy industry. Light industry is the papermaking, porcelain, salt making, textile, sewing, leather manufacturing, and medicinal material manufacturing that Mr. just mentioned, and all of these industries are classified as light industry, which is an industry that the Department of Industry and Commerce needs to take the lead in organizing businesses to develop independently. ”

"Light industry has the characteristics of less capital, investment time period, and fast returns, which is suitable for the investment and development of small and medium-sized businesses, so that it can quickly activate the market, increase industrial output value, and also increase employment opportunities and separate the purpose of agricultural population. By the way, the agricultural product processing industry also belongs to the category of light industry. Li Xuanqing pointed to the first half of his plan and explained.

Basically everyone present in the light industry has no opinion, Murong Hanhai said: "We have no opinion on this part of the lord's plan, but it is a little strange for the division of restaurants, shops, etc. that are not considered industries, if according to the lord's meaning, what kind of industry do these industries belong to." ”

"I plan all the service industries to be the tertiary industry, so that our entire social industry is divided into agriculture, that is, the primary industry, industry, that is, the secondary industry, and the service industry and intermediaries who do not directly participate in social production are the tertiary industry. After Li Xuanqing explained, he continued: "The development of light industry is easy, but it is not something that the government should worry about, and the industry led by Tiance Mansion should be an industry related to the national economy, people's livelihood and national security. For example, steel smelting, steel is not only the raw material for the current weapons and other production equipment, but the foundation of the entire heavy industry system, and the chemical industry is the two legs that support the development of the entire industry. ”

Li Xuanqing's words puzzled everyone, but Li Xuanqing also knew that his words contained too much experience from later generations, so he continued: "Heavy industry is divided into three categories, mining, raw materials, and processing industries. The mining industry is the mining of all kinds of minerals and the logging of non-minerals, which you can basically understand when you think about it, so I won't explain it. The raw material industry provides raw materials to other industries, including metal smelting, such as steel smelting, copper smelting, etc., as well as chemical raw materials, secondary processing of coal, etc., and the finished product is used as a raw material for downstream industries. As for the processing industry, it is the use of various raw materials for deep processing. For example, machinery manufacturing, industrial mother bed, machinery and equipment manufacturing needed by other industries, etc. ”

Li Xuanqing's words made everyone fall into deep thought, and they each thought about what Li Xuanqing had just said in their hearts. The scene became quiet for a while, and the key to this plan was not this new type of industrial division and layout, but the method proposed by Li Xuanqing to be led by Tiance Mansion and support the long-term industrial development of all participating businesses. Although Tiance Mansion, a new type of government established by Li Xuanqing, has a little shadow of the government of later generations, after all, it is different from later generations, and if Li Xuanqing does not put forward many ideas, they will basically appear or sprout after hundreds of years. Therefore, Li Xuanqing became very calm after the initial dissatisfaction was dissipated, if the overall plan did not work, then he would unite with some businesses, establish the most important part in advance, and then drive them one by one, and finally realize the establishment of a fully classified industrial system to complete the last step.

"My lord, I think we can split into two steps? The first step is for Murong to start promoting the light industry development plan, and we can see the prospects in it, and I believe that those wealthy families can also see it. There should be no problem with the development of this part, and it can develop on its own by relying on the power of the private sector. Cen Tianshi glanced at Li Xuanqing, saw the latter nod and continued: "At the same time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Logistics have carried out pilot projects, and now there are already industries such as steel smelting. If the situation is more optimistic, how do we continue? Cen Tianshi didn't have much confidence in the development of this industry, so he didn't dare to rashly put all his strength on this, and came up with a compromise solution, which was not much different from Li Xuanqing's alternative.

"The heavy industry mentioned by the lord can also loosen the restrictions on mining and raw material processing, as for the rest, I think our current situation is often not big enough, and many things are afraid that no one will buy them." Qi Hong said what Murong Hanhai had always wanted to say, it is true that in this era of agriculture, the market for industrial products is not as big as the legend, and it is now a period of war, the population at the end of the Tang Dynasty has decreased too much compared with the Kaiyuan period, there is not enough purchasing power without enough manpower, and even if these goods are made, no one will consume them. Goods without a market are of no use.

Li Xuanqing glanced at Murong Hanhai, and his face became so bad, could it be that he was in a hurry? Or is there something wrong with this? In my previous life, I didn't know much about industrial development, and some time ago, fiddling with finance was just bullying people in this era who didn't have this concept, but this time the real guns were caught off guard by the group of elites of the era in front of me. Cen Tianshi and the others saw that Li Xuanqing's face was constantly changing, and after looking at each other a few times, they quietly waited for Li Xuanqing to react.

"No, you're not right, the scale of industry can be reduced, but these categories must be complete, so as to support our subsequent development." After a while, Li Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes, saw the eyes of everyone, and explained carefully: "You think about it, these industrial products actually need to flow into the ordinary people very little, most of them are still concentrated in the hands of businesses in all walks of life, and become the raw materials or machinery and equipment for their production of other products, so that although the terminal market is very narrow due to various reasons, but this is only temporary, with the acceleration of the pace of the unification of the Tiance Army, first of all, the geography will gradually expand, and the rear because of the implementation of our policy, The people have gradually settled down, and their incomes will increase year by year, so that the double favorable situation will inevitably be able to support a small-scale heavy industry system. In the future, with the expansion of the market, the industry will replicate the model by itself under the stimulation of the market, so as to achieve our vision. ”

"So where do you plan to start?" When a few people saw Li Xuanqing's expression, they also knew that they couldn't dispel his thoughts, so Cen Tianshi thought about it and felt that if the scale was smaller, he could still try it with the strength of Tiance Mansion, and Li Xuanqing's vision for such a long time was also incomparable to everyone, so he decided to give it a try.

Speaking of this, Li Xuanqing opened the map behind him, and there were countless inexplicable symbols marked on it by himself, but others couldn't understand it, but he explained it little by little, and asked everyone to compare his plan while explaining.

And with his slow explanation, everyone gradually understood that all of these densely packed maps were the bits and pieces of industrial development planned by Li Xuanqing. And on this day, a few people didn't even go out of the gate of Changqing Palace, and even Qiaoxi walked in with a meal several times, and several people didn't notice it, all of them were thinking while listening to Li Xuanqing's story, or they began to discuss the details carefully. Except for Li Xuanqing, although the others did not see the industrial model of later generations, it did not prevent them from using their wisdom to tinker with Li Xuanqing's plan.

The meeting was held directly until the evening of the next day, and several people present were finally persuaded by Li Xuanqing in the two days and one night of sleepless meetings, and began to embark on the track of industrial development. After the end, Li Xuanqing looked at Qiaoxi who was worried next to him, smiled slightly, and said inexplicably: "Maybe I can get on the car that I can move again in this life." A few people who were about to leave next to him were stunned and didn't understand what it meant, but Qiaoxi laughed, and his mind drifted far away in an instant, and he returned to his dream in a trance, back to the original era.
