Chapter 87 Basic Economic Construction

After upgrading the system to the provincial level, Zhang Wei has been thinking about whether to build a factory according to the current world model or directly skip the steam age and transition to the electricity age. In order to reduce duplicate construction, in order to surpass the industrial level of Europe and the United States as soon as possible, it is better to choose electricity. Pen? Interesting?

To generate electricity, you need to build power plants, and if you have a power plant, you need to use coal, so the first step is coal mining.

The first thing to do after stabilization was to establish Lanfang Coal Exploration and Design Institute, Lanfang Coal Institute and Lanfang Royal Coal Company; The second thing is the establishment of Lanfang Electric Power Planning and Design Institute, Lanfang Water Conservancy and Electric Power Institute and Lanfang Royal Power Company; The third thing is to set up Lanfang Ship Design Institute, Lanfang Navigation College, Lanfang Ship Design College, Lanfang Royal Shipyard and Lanfang Royal Shipping Company, select 200 ships of better quality from the captured British and Dutch merchant ships to form the Lanfang Royal Shipping Company, and the remaining ships are allocated to the provinces to set up a provincial shipping company, and the worse ones are directly sold to individuals to run transportation or changed to fishing boats, and the Lanfang Royal Port Company was established to be responsible for the construction and operation of the main ports of the kingdom; The fourth thing is to set up Lanfang Iron and Steel Research Institute, Lanfang Metallurgical Planning and Design Institute, Lanfang Metallurgical Institute, Lanfang Institute of Geology and Mining, Lanfang Royal Iron and Steel Plant and Lanfang Royal Nonferrous Metals Smelting Company; The sixth thing is to set up Lanfang Chemical Planning and Design Institute, Lanfang Chemical Industry College, Lanfang Royal Chemical Plant and Lanfang Royal Building Materials Company; The seventh thing is to establish Lanfang Machinery Industry Institute and Lanfang Royal Machinery Manufacturing Company; The eighth thing is to establish the Road Exploration Planning and Design Institute, Lanfang Transportation College, Lanfang Railway College and Lanfang Royal Railway Company; As for other industries such as aviation and electronics, they still do not have the basic conditions for the development of those industries; As for the food, textiles and other light industries, they are going to be handed over to private enterprises.

With so many companies, schools, and design institutes set up, it is impossible to get all of them up and running in a short period of time, so you can only put up the shelves first, and then slowly fill them in.

In order to strengthen the management of royal assets, a red triangle investment company was set up to manage these enterprises instead of Zhang Wei, the so-called triangle refers to the relationship between the royal family, the synthetic class and the enterprise represented by Zhang Wei, the triangle is a stable relationship, Zhang Wei hopes that the relationship between the three has been stable, as long as the relationship between the three is stable, There will be no chaos in the whole kingdom.

In order to develop each royal company into a world-class enterprise as soon as possible, the general manager of each royal company chooses an elite technical expert, with two special business talents as deputies.

First of all, an elite-level coal exploration personnel was synthesized, and he was appointed as the president of Lanfang Coal Exploration and Design Institute, the dean of Lanfang Coal Institute part-time, 4 super-grade coal exploration personnel, to assist the dean in his work, and 20 senior coal exploration personnel, who not only went out to inspect the coal mine, was responsible for design and planning, but also went to the coal college as a part-time teacher, which is a set of teams and two brands.

Zhang Wei's order to them was to produce the coal exploration reports of Patong City and East Kalimantan Province within one month, select a good site, and start coal mining. Fortunately, Zhang Wei has a systematic resource map, and the planners only go to the site to confirm it and designate the mining site, which reduces the workload a lot. Coal mining must have been done by hand in the early days, and it just so happened that there were so many British and Dutch captives that they would be allowed to mine coal as soon as the coal mines were identified.

After selecting the location of the coal mine, the power company should build a thermal power plant in each coal mine, that is, a pithead power plant, so that when mining coal in the future, it can choose mechanized production.

Other industries also refer to the coal industry, and the design institute and the college are one set of teams and two brands.

The power company wants to build or expand thermal power plants in every city where the provincial government is located and every city on the island of Java, and the first batch of power generation equipment needed must be purchased from the system, and the purchase of power generation equipment in the late 30s or early 40s is already very unnatural in this era, so these power plants must use system synthesis personnel, but the technology can not leak out.

For the Royal Shipyard, now it is only the first to put up the shelf, and there is no specific implementation, mainly because there are no production conditions yet, such as the steel plant has not been built, the high-tonnage hydraulic press has not yet been built, the electricity can not meet the needs of the shipyard for the time being, and the engine technology has also been researched, and it is not yet able to produce independently.

The kingdom of Lanfang is an island country, so it is necessary to strengthen the shipbuilding industry and shipping industry, for civilian ships, the quality requirements are not high, the technical difficulty is not large, and the production is relatively simple, Zhang Wei built a shipyard in each province, each shipyard has 4 3000-ton docks, 2 5000-ton docks, and 1 10,000-ton dock, and are ready to be auctioned to the Chinese family after the construction. For the boilers and steam engines used by these ships, it is very cheap to buy from the system, that is, to sell them to shipyards at the market price, Zhang Wei also has a large profit margin.

For the mining and smelting of non-ferrous metal minerals, only tin ore and bauxite on Belitung Island are currently selected, and the smelter is also ready to choose to build locally, and a large power plant must be built in the mining area and the smelter; Chose to mine copper in Manado and build an electrolytic copper plant and a thermal power plant there; The first steel plant in the southeast of Java Island will be built to produce 500,000 tons of steel per year, using local iron ore nearby; In this era, the output of steel is an important indicator to measure a country's war potential, and it is also the basic material that must be used to develop the economy, and it is necessary to intensify development and increase steel production as soon as possible, which is also an important means to enhance national self-confidence.

For the chemical engineering institute and chemical plant, the initial goal is to be able to produce three acids and two alkalis, which are the most basic chemical raw materials, for this reason, Zhang Wei has built an ammonia synthesis plant in Padang Port, mainly using electricity and coal nearby. Establish a salt drying field in Nusa Tenga Islands, and guide private capital to enter the modern salt drying industry, and strive to build the Kingdom of Lanfang into the largest salt production country in the world; The salt industry is one of the basic raw materials for the production of three acids and two alkalis.

The Royal Building Materials Company actively uses the abundant limestone resources in the kingdom to build a cement plant in every city in Sumatra Province, and the cities of Surabaya, Makassar and Manado are rich in limestone resources, and the building materials companies will gradually build cement plants in these places, and the cement plant selected by Zhang Wei has an annual output of only 300,000 tons, which is already very advanced in this era. In addition, it is planned to establish a float glass production plant, a light bulb factory and a thermos bottle factory in Surabaya City by using the local high-quality quartz sand resources.

In order to speed up the upgrading and development of the machinery industry, Zhang Wei not only exchanged a batch of lathes, milling machines, planers, grinding machines, boring machines, drilling machines, etc., but also purchased a 5,000-ton hydraulic press from the system at a high price. Let the existing technicians conduct research and hope to develop 8,000-ton, 10,000-ton and 3,000-ton hydraulic presses.

In order to meet the gas needs of steel mills, shipyards, hospitals, etc., Zhang Wei built an air separation plant and a pressure vessel factory in Padang, and now the technology used is still very advanced, in a state of secrecy, although there is no royal brand, it is also the assets of the Red Triangle Investment Company.

In order to accelerate the development of automation in the whole country, Zhang Wei set up an engine research institute and an electric motor research institute, and divided into many special research groups, such as diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors, steam turbines, etc. To this end, Zhang Wei built a tractor factory and a motorcycle factory. By the way, the bicycle factory has also been established, and when the conditions are ripe, the bicycle factory will also be auctioned off.

In order to promote the development of private enterprises, Zhang Wei first considered rubber planting, in Kalimantan, there is very little fertile land, but there are many places suitable for planting rubber trees, the next step rubber demand will definitely continue to increase, such as tractors, motorcycles, bicycles and private cars that will be developed, all need natural rubber, but also in the provinces to establish rubber factories; The same is true for sucrose, which can only be beneficial if it is scaled up. Zhang Wei also set up a cannery in each province, and planned to auction the factory to ethnic merchants after it was officially opened.

Due to the cancellation of the Chinese business tax this year, and the Chinese to build a factory to enjoy the preferential policy of halving the tax within 3 years, and there is no previous oppressed external environment, which has stimulated the investment enthusiasm of the Chinese family and a single Chinese, a large number of small factories, small workshops and small businesses around the country have been established, and now the procedures are simple, as long as there is a certain amount of funds, you can get a business license to register with the Commercial Finance Bureau, if the project is very good, very promising or technologically advanced, you can apply for a small loan, This makes it easier for artisans to set up their own home workshops, and Zhang Wei believes that many of the world's leading companies in the future may be a workshop that is not yet well known.

In order to take care of other cities and not overly concentrate higher education resources in Shangjing, Zhang Wei also requested the construction of Lanfang Institute of Architecture, Lanfang Institute of Technology, Lanfang College of Finance, Lanfang College of Political Science and Law, Lanfang College of Foreign Languages, and Lanfang College of Foreign Trade in Semarang, Surabaya and Bandung, so that two universities were added to each of these three cities. construction of the Lanfang Agricultural College in Pontianak; the establishment of the Lanfang Forestry College in Medan; Establishment of Laemfang Marine Academy in Makassar.

In each college, Zhang Wei has set up a royal scholarship, the scale of the scholarship is the same as that of a medical university, to ensure that poor children can support their families after receiving the scholarship, no worries for the principle, each college students, the royal family also provides a monthly subsidy of 1 tael of silver, although it is not much, but it represents a piece of the royal family's heart.

All schools are taught in Chinese, all schools do not charge tuition, and all schools only recruit students from Chinese.

Chinese of any nationality, as long as they are admitted to these colleges, enjoy the same treatment, but foreign students must work in the Kingdom of Lanfang for at least 5 years after graduation, which can be regarded as a kind of return for the free education provided by the Kingdom.
