Chapter 1272: The Locomotive Project
got Zhang Yi's idea, Liang Qichao left happily, since the big idea is determined, then the rest of the matter is the Ministry of Education, now Liang Qichao has a lot of talents, how to formulate an effective implementation plan, this is not Zhang Yi and Tang Shaoyi's turn to worry about. .v d . m
The problem of education is solved, and what remains is the real highlight, the national economic development plan!
It is not a simple matter to make the social economy of the Republic of China take off rapidly, and it turns out that half of China's country in the war situation can be developed with ease, but now it is not easy to expand to the whole country.
Tang Shaoyi invited Zhang Jian, Zhan Tianyou, Liang Dunyan and other dignitaries in the economic field to discuss in one go.
However, everyone was accustomed to Zhang Yi giving orders, and before Zhang Yi spoke, they were all silent, waiting for Zhang Yi's speech.
Zhang Yi was a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "I said everyone, this economic development is not my business, you don't always expect me to take the lead or open up the situation for you, I am not a god, if one day I suddenly burp and catch a cold, won't this country turn around?" ”
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Jianzhi, this, we are all used to it, if a thing, without your opinion come out, we have no bottom in our hearts, not to mention that this is the development plan for the next few years or even ten years, it is the top priority, China is too big, the economic development of the Northeast, North China, Southeast and Southwest and Northwest is not on the same level at all, how easy is it to comprehensively promote it?" ”
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "I have an idea, I named him the locomotive plan, the long train, two or three hundred meters, all dragged by the locomotive, can move forward, our economy is the same, we must find a locomotive with a big driving role for him!" ”
Tang Shaoyi's eyes lit up and asked, "Jianzhi." Tell us about your specific plans! ”
Zhang Yilai opened the curtain on the wall, revealing a map of China, pointed to the map with his hand and said: "Now China's economy is the most developed at that time, the three eastern provinces, followed by Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, these three places are our original foundation, especially the three eastern provinces have the industrial strength to compete with the industrial power. But just one of the three eastern provinces is far from enough for us in China. In fact. Our future development focus should be on the southeast coast and the east as a whole. It has a large number of excellent seaports, as well as well-developed inland waterways. At the same time, industry, commerce and agriculture also have a good foundation, and the people are intelligently enlightened, so as long as we develop the entire eastern economy, then we no longer have to worry about the pressure of the great powers! Now the entire eastern part of the country is home to 300 million people! If all of them are raised to the level of the middle countries of Europe, hehe, can you imagine, which European country can be compared with us? ”
Everyone nodded, and Zhang Yi was right. Even if it can't beat the level of Britain, France and Germany, but only reach the average level of medium-sized industrial countries such as Belgium and Italy, with a huge population base, the total economic output is absolutely immeasurable!
Zhang Yi continued: "Using the entire eastern region to drive the development of the central and western regions is our most ambitious locomotive plan, and it is also a long-term plan, but this plan cannot be implemented now. Because the eastern region is not strong enough, we need to have a small locomotive plan! Aside from the entire three eastern provinces, we look at other places, in the Fujian and Guangdong regions, we focus on the Pearl River estuary and Guangzhou as the center. Taking advantage of Guangzhou's geographical advantages, we will make every effort to develop industry and commerce, promote international trade overseas, and then drive the Pearl River Delta with Guangzhou, and Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou with the Pearl River Delta, which will be a huge economic belt; Looking north, in the Yangtze River basin. Shanghai has become one of the top cities in the Far East, but now in the country, except for Shenyang, no city can be compared with Shanghai, although the foreigner concession has damaged our dignity, but also brought enough impetus to Shanghai's economic prosperity, my opinion, is to establish a financial center in Shanghai that is enough to affect the whole country and even the whole Asia, not only the financial center, but also the trade center and light industry center! Because Shanghai has a strong foundation, Shanghai and Nanjing in the east, Wuhan in the middle, Chongqing in the west, the three major cities are enough to support the rise of our Yangtze River Economic Belt, of course, the most important thing is the rise of Shanghai, our primary goal is to build Shanghai! Further north, over Jiangsu, is Shandong and Hebei, Shandong to Qingdao as the leader, Hebei to Tianjin as the leader, relying on the advantages of international trade ports, inward radiation, you can clearly see, our four trains, have found their respective locomotives, our plan, is to build a locomotive, with the locomotive to drive the train rolling forward! ”
Why are there no three eastern provinces?
Because the three eastern provinces are no longer included in the plan, the economy of the three eastern provinces has completely entered the fast track, driving on the right path, now the economic aggregate of the three eastern provinces plus Inner Mongolia has surpassed Italy and other powers, approaching a more powerful France, as long as this momentum of development is maintained, beyond the economic aggregate of Britain and France, it will not be far away!
As for Shanxi and Baotou in Inner Mongolia, it is because of geographical problems, which makes the development potential of these two regions destined to be limited, and they can only maintain a normal development rate first.
The people present looked at each other, what a grand plan, so a clear idea!
Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "Jianzhi, can you still let us not treat you as an immortal?" Your speech has already stated all the backbone of our future economic development, which is absolutely strategic! The backbone has been established, and the rest is for a few of us to add to you! ”
Zhang Yi smiled wryly, and said embarrassedly: "Of course, I also hope that you can come up with better ideas, I am just talking on paper, how to implement it, it depends on your means......"
Implement? Now the Republic of China is not the past, a year's financial revenue has tens of millions of pounds converted into silver, has approached 500 million taels, not to mention this, look at Zhang Yi's trip to Europe, tossed back, nearly 100 million pounds, first Japan's 45 million pounds indemnity, followed by the aircraft orders of various countries, the total has approached 50 million pounds, moreover, Zhang Yi relied on his unique seller's market position, requiring countries to pay 80% of the money in advance at the beginning of signing the contract!
To put it bluntly, the income of 70 or 80 million pounds has exceeded the financial income of the Republic of China in a year! This will undoubtedly give the take-off of the Republic of China a real pair of wings! (To be continued.)
