Datang achieved the ultimate unification of the country, and the most important work after that was to build the country, which was not only concentrated in China, but also in North America. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info of course, there is inevitably a problem of re-emphasis, before Datang was ******** to continue to expand the colonization in the North American states, of course, the colonization is also being carried out at this stage, the number and scale are still huge, but the action of constantly expanding new cities with great fanfare has slowed down, Datang began to pay more attention to setting up more satellite towns around the completed central city, and to support and improve the regional development model.

As for the construction of the Huaxia region, it can be described in four words, vigorous.

Rural and agrarian reforms in various localities were a foundation for the Tang Dynasty's construction of the Huaxia region, from the dismantling of the clan system to the establishment of rural cooperatives, although the resistance was greater than in North America, but the implementation of policies was ensured by a strong political regime.

But fundamentally, Datang's goal is to turn a backward agricultural country into an advanced industrial country, and the development of industrial production is necessary. In the first batch of Datang's industrial construction catalogue, there are a total of 100 large-scale Datang state-owned enterprise construction projects, and this project is also known as the "100 major factory construction".

The construction of 100 major factories is concentrated in the field of heavy industry, specifically 12 iron and steel joint groups have been built, with an average annual output of 2 million tons of steel per enterprise; 8 non-ferrous metal metallurgical enterprises, with an annual output of 30,000 tons of tin, 60,000 tons of tungsten, 50,000 tons of aluminum, 20,000 tons of molybdenum concentrate and 200,000 tons of barium and titanium concentrate; 6 coal enterprises with an annual output of 20 million tons of coal mines; 3 petrochemical enterprises, with an annual processing capacity of 10 million tons of crude oil; 16 power machine and power machine production plants, providing power generation equipment for the whole country; 14 new large-scale power plants; 15 large chemical complexes producing various types of chemical products, including fertilizers; 42 heavy machinery factories producing products including large heavy industrial equipment, industrial machine tools, automobile tractors, railway equipment, shipbuilding and aviation aircraft.

If the construction of 100 factories is successfully completed, it will make the Chinese region have a basic industrial strength on a par with North America, which is equivalent to more than doubling the industrial strength of Datang. A doubling of industrial growth would more than double the contribution of the economy. A huge market of 300 million people has completely become an internal economic market, coupled with the development needs of all categories from infrastructure construction to industry and commerce, Datang's manufacturing industry needs to produce a large amount of steel, building materials, chemicals, and machinery to meet this huge demand. Just in terms of infrastructure construction in various places, it is already possible to create crazy orders. According to the calculations of the economic department, even the completion of the construction of the top 100 factories, coupled with the industrial capacity of North America, will not be enough to meet the horror of this upward trend.

President Paik Nam also continued to inspect the progress of industrial projects in various places, to understand the progress in real time, mainly to listen to the opinions of all parties, and to solve difficulties in various places and implement the plan smoothly.

Bai Nan was inspecting the Tangshan Iron and Steel Group at this time, and in fact, Tangshan Iron and Steel had already been established before the Tang Dynasty overthrew the Qing court. It is a steel enterprise funded by the Qing court under the guidance of Datang engineers, and it has been established for more than ten years and has also developed to a certain extent, but obviously due to many problems, the production capacity of this steel enterprise is still insufficient.

Tangshan Iron & Steel Group is not in the construction of the top 100 plants, it belongs to the receiving enterprise. Datang's engineers and dispatch workers have already entered the company and are preparing for a new expansion.

Hua Xiangwei, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said with great ambition: "After the completion of Tangsteel, it will be able to provide a large amount of steel for the entire North China region and become the skeleton of the rise of North China's industry." ”

Rows of newly built factories are being built, and new blast furnaces and other machinery shipped from Datang are being assembled in the new buildings. Tangsteel originally had some workers, but apparently it was not enough after the expansion. The factory has carried out large-scale recruitment, but the knowledge level of workers at this stage is relatively low, and they basically need to be trained. Under the turn of the state apparatus, many local farmers came to sign up with excitement. Many people have calculated that the income of a worker is more than that of farming, and the worker does not spend money to eat in the factory, which is equivalent to earning wages for nothing. Not so conservative and timid, all willing to give it a try. The recruitment situation is basically similar in various places, and Datang has no restrictions at this stage, and the demand for labor is huge. There is a system of maximum working hours and minimum wage, and although the workload of workers is large, the salary and social status are still relatively high. Many tenant farmers who did not have land became workers, and some of the farmers who had land were willing to choose to work. After all, a few acres of thin land at home can be managed by some women, and if men can earn more money, it is obvious that their lives will be greatly improved.

Taking this opportunity, Datang is actually promoting a round of urbanization in various places. The peasants left the countryside and came to the factories, which were largely built in specially established industrial zones around the cities, which led to an increase in the urban population.

Bai Nan looked at the hot scene here, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "This time I finally feel the benefits of sufficient manpower, a company like Tangsteel, there was an influx of people at the beginning of recruitment, even if the proportion of these people in the local area is actually very low, but because of the large base, there are still a lot of them." ”

In fact, quite a lot of enterprises recruit workers at one time and find that the number of people recruited is excessive, and the factory will not send out the extra workers, and each enterprise will ask the superior for instructions to continue to allocate funds, some cases are to continue to expand the factory, and some cases are that the factories will gather the surplus workers to other factories.

In addition to the establishment of large state-owned enterprises, the Datang government also paid special attention to the use of private capital to develop industry and commerce. Private capital is more likely to choose light industrial and civilian products with low technical difficulty, fast returns and huge markets. Many Datang entrepreneurs have come to Huaxia to invest and set up factories, and a wave of local businessmen have also seized the opportunity to build factories to make money. Their general practice is to ask someone to introduce them, and then recruit a few engineers who understand technology, and then build a factory.

In this process, the Datang government also pays special attention to another problem, that is, the problem of counterfeiting and shoddy. The great development of industry and commerce is the demand of the country, but it is absolutely not allowed to allow anyone to break through the bottom line and produce poor quality products in this process. Datang is promoting complaint channels everywhere, and once someone finds out, it must make it impossible for such enterprises to gain a foothold, and those involved are severely punished by law.

In short, it is basic for a gentleman to love money and take it in a proper way, and encouragement and control are the correct means for the government to deal with it. (To be continued.) )
