Yang Yuanzhao was also a little crying and laughing when he received this, but he also had to deal with it, you know, the current support for the northwest, is the national sales, although the local market in the northwest is larger, but the area controlled by Beiyang and the Kuomintang respectively occupies 17.4 and 21.6 of the total industrial sales volume of the northwest, almost half of the northwest foreign sales, just 3 days of friction, at least let the northwest lose 6 million.

For these ordinary rich businessmen and factory owners, Yang Yuanzhao does not care, the current northwest, the foundation has been formed, what is needed is not these icing on the cake small factories, the great improvement of the northwest all comes from the investment and development of international trade and heavy industry, a series of hammers, the economy of the entire northwest has doubled several times, this is no problem at all, some production capacity is backward, most of the factories that rely on intensive labor to make profits, in the face of the huge base, some inconspicuous.

From the outbreak of the First World War, it may be less than two years, and even because of the butterfly fanning in the northwest, the first war may break out in advance at any time, 2 years, not long, not short, we must take into account Beiyang and the ** party, can not let them mess up, although the northwest is not afraid, but may miss the opportunity, now is not a good opportunity to unify the whole of China, take back other regions, 2 years at most two years, when the time, you can be under the leadership of the northwest, abolish a series of inequalities, and really stand up.

People are coming, you can't drive people away, this is for the northwest, more or less, is a difficult thing to decide, word of mouth still wants, after thinking for a long time, Yang Yuanzhao decided to further implement the previous construction plan, there was a plan before, to build a city along the railway, but because he was busy with the construction of the northwest and the railway network, he did not put it into action, and now, along with this, all over China, 30 small cities were first approved, they are all on the nodes of the railway network, and the city promotes development.

For Beiyang and the ** party, it is also a fixed annual rent, as the right to operate the city in the northwest, which Beiyang and the ** party like, 17 in the north, 13 in the south, and the tax in each city is as high as 3.7 million per year, that is to say, just this income is worth 1.25 times the income of Beiyang and 87 of the ** party, and the rest, more or less, can be collected, when the time comes, no matter if he is a rich businessman, it is still in the city, as long as he can collect money.

The concept of operating the city, this era, in foreign countries are just proposed, there is no complete concept, but in the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao naturally did it, the development of the city, inseparable from the overall management, not the same people, the same, but their own characteristics, the national conditions are so, 30 cities are industrial cities, each is not big, about 25-30 square kilometers, can generally accommodate between 100,000-200,000, but the management is good, the annual income, may be 3.7 million times 10 times, Even more than 20 times, many cities in the northwest are like this, business is developed, industry is prosperous, and even real estate has begun to flourish, the city is not just a group of people concentrated in the city, it can be formed, he needs to work for everyone, every worker and citizen is a part of the entire city chain, and jointly promote the development of the city to a higher and stronger, which is the real city.

After a simple consultation, especially the start of the construction of the first batch of cities, from the day the city was built, you can pay rent to Beiyang and the party, this time, Beiyang and the party are satisfied, the previous friction ended quietly, no one will get along with the money, and the loss of the northwest because of trade friction has also been made up for in the rising sales.

The 30 cities are almost distributed in most provinces in the Central Plains and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the first city to start construction is the city of Zhengzhou in Henan.

Zhengzhou in 1912 was an emerging city, because of the Pinghan Railway, the railway bridge was built here, and slowly developed, the double line and reconstruction of the Pinghan Railway, but also a major event in 1912, is the middle line of three vertical and three horizontal, but also the core position of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway. In the north of the original railway bridge, a larger, more reliable railway bridge was rebuilt, relying on the special steel provided by the northwest, and the two-way highway and railway dual-purpose bridge, so that the future traffic speed will be the same as the ordinary railway, and under the new bridge, a new Zhengzhou was rebuilt.

Zhengzhou can be said to be among the 30 new cities, is second to none, as the future of the Beijing-Guangzhou and Longhai railway intersection, Zhengzhou is a natural railway hub, especially the latter, the Longhai railway was originally only to Xi'an, for the northwest hinterland, to obtain an outlet to the sea, but in the hands of Yang Yuanzhao, but in the hands of Yang Yuanzhao, it has become a big deal, directly connected to the northwest railway network, along Xi'an, link to the important provinces in the west, and finally to Xinjiang exit, as a future, part of the Eurasian railway.

Of course, after this point was put forward in the northwest, it was recognized by the German side, but there are many countries to pass through, the most important of which are some countries in Central Asia, these countries are not greatly influenced by Germany, and are greatly influenced by Russia, and the bad relations between the northwest and Russia are really not suitable for the time being. Yang Yuanzhao didn't force it, this is just a plan in itself, whether it can be enough depends on the opportunity, if there is a chance in the future, take enough land.

The new Zhengzhou area, will have 37 square kilometers, is the largest of all the cities under construction, the two railways will be crossed, in his center through guò, and the whole city is around the railway, the double line of the Pinghan Railway and the Longhai Railway, are already under construction, and Zhengzhou's positioning is the national hub, but also the future marshalling station, so the railway line is reserved quite a lot, in order to ensure the influence, but also at the same time to start the construction of a large-scale logistics center and the Central Plains Mall, In order to exhibit and sell the large-scale machine shopping mall, motor vehicle shopping mall, and small commodity shopping mall of other small factories in the northwest machine, only the construction of 4 huge shopping malls can ensure the employment of more than 12,000 people, and the basic personnel have, plus Henan has always been a province with a large population, Beiyang sent a certain number of personnel to be stationed and the business attraction of the northwest, and finally ate the original population of Zhengzhou, forming a new city with a population of about 200,000.

Other cities, although not as important as Zhengzhou, but also one of the important cities on the railway, each place has its own characteristics, or minerals, or resources, or river ports, the northwest construction corps, local recruitment, at least 35 large construction corps, recruited more than 1.5 million workers, sent a large number of machinery and drivers in the northwest, integrated together, the construction of 30 new cities, almost at the same time.

The move of the northwest has allowed the whole country to see the strong strength of the northwest, 30 new cities, even if an investment of 20 million, is 600 million, as well as three vertical and three horizontal railways, the Yangtze River Bridge, in just over a month, the investment of real money is almost 1 billion, which is a huge stimulus for all aspects of the entire industrial chain.

The vigorous big plans are one after another, without any publicity, but the northwest is promoting, and a larger-scale industry that is valued by Yang Yuanzhao has also begun to take shape.

Shipbuilding industry, because of Brusinov's sudden transfer, let Yang Yuanzhao's eyes pay attention to the war situation with the north, now that the battle is over, the northwest has also won, he has the effort to put his mind here, through guò several screening, as far as possible to find out more than 40,000 people, this group of people, unified into the Northwest shipyard, the Northwest shipyard has not yet been selected, but the initial training and learning, has begun to carry out.

Workers, in a sense, is just a necessary foundation, the shipbuilding industry, is definitely technology and capital intensive, unlike the railway, you can tens of thousands of people together, here the designers and shining ideas, is the most important thing, the current China, everything is lacking, that is, there is no shortage of the most basic workers, select a part of the qualified workers, directly sent to Shanghai, it can be regarded as a supplement to Shanghai's shortcomings, so that Jiangnan Shipyard can produce at full capacity, to complete the orders that have been set, After the Northwest took control of the Jiangnan Shipyard for a period of time, it began to make some adjustments to establish the main direction of attack in the future.

If it is said that a few decades ago, before the Sino-French War, the strongest shipyard was the Mawei Shipyard, which could build more than 3,000 tons of ironclad ships, at that time, it was also a relatively strong one, but after the Sino-French War, Mawei was hit by a devastating blow, a large number of personnel and mechanical losses, Beiyang began to lay out in Shanghai and establish the Jiangnan Shipyard, which also became the only commendable place in old China, the real industrial production.

However, after so many years, Jiangnan Shipyard still stays on the standard of ordinary civilian ships, and the military fleet, because the technology in all aspects is not up to par, has not been produced, in fact, in the Republic of China, the level of China's shipbuilding industry is okay, otherwise in the First World War, it will not also build 20,000 tons of giant ships.

In the previous Nie Yuntai plan, after getting a loan from the Northwest Bank, a batch of 5,000-ton docks was built, and a 5,000-6,000-ton ocean-going freighter was built.

Yang Yuanzhao has a certain idea about shipbuilding, but Baotou does not have an outlet to the sea, so this idea is only pressed in the bottom of his heart, and how to maximize the role of Jiangnan Shipyard is the most important thing now. R1152
