The sensation caused by the Bohai Tunnel will continue for a while, and the Chinese media have been reporting on various construction workers, reporting the story of Mao Yisheng, the story of digging deep into the construction, and even the story of the dragon that Mao Yisheng has always refused to admit have been dug out of the mouths of the workers, which is very popular with the people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But foreign newspapers generally do not accept this kind of thing, where is there a dragon, even if there is a dragon bone in Yingkou as proof, Westerners believe that it is just some rare sea creature, and the story of the dragon repaying the favor of the Chinese people at the bottom is pushed to the ignorance and superstition of the Chinese.

As for why the construction speed is so fast, Westerners also have their own explanations, some say that five years of construction is actually not fast, but everyone's previous estimate of the difficulty is too great, maybe the construction of tunnels on the bottom of the sea, there is not so much difficulty at all, and some find the reason from the tide, thinking that maybe the special tide in the Bohai Sea region of China has helped a lot.

This craze will not weaken for a while and a half, Yang Chao didn't have the heart to care about this, he met with Jin Jiu again.

He discussed the economic issues of the DPRK with Jin Jiu and encouraged him to continue to seize the opportunity of the transfer of the forest industry and the textile industry, vigorously develop the DPRK economy, and strive to raise the economic level of the DPRK to the same level as Japan in 10 years.

Then Yang Chao quietly left the northeast and returned to Nanjing.

Then he immediately communicated with some members of the Northwest Congress, exchanged views on the economy of the Northwest, and expressed his attitude of supporting the economic development of the Northwest, which made them feel happy.

At the same time, dignitaries from the northwest provinces were invited to Nanjing for discussions.

It is impossible to give policies to the northwest, and it is impossible to make direct investment, because the state's investment can only be concentrated in large projects and infrastructure at most, and it is impossible for the state to come forward and build factories in the northwest.

After frequent communication with the governors of Shaanxi, Xinjiang and Gansu (including Qinghai at this time) in the northwest, Yang Chao determined that enterprises in the eastern region will be encouraged to invest in the northwest, and the central government can give them financial support, that is, tax exemption, not a little bit of exemption, but all exemptions, but the central government's share of tax revenue is half, that is, they can only reduce or exempt half of their taxes at most. No taxes will be levied for the next three years.

As far as the central government is concerned, the tax revenues of the industrial enterprises in these three provinces cannot be collected much in a year, and there are basically no large enterprises except for a small number of food processing industries and light textile industries.

Qinghai and Xinjiang, which are important sources of wool, still have a good chance to attract some wool textile industries.

Xinjiang also has the potential to develop cotton planting and processing industries, in fact, a large number of agricultural reclamation companies have gone to Xinjiang to contract hundreds of thousands, millions of pieces of saline-alkali land to grow cotton after improvement, and they solve the problem of water shortage by digging wells, whether it will cause geological subsidence, for the deserted places, at least 100 years do not need to be considered.

However, Xinjiang's cotton textile industry has never developed, before the crisis was suppressed by the light textile industry in Shandong and Shanghai, and the advantage of cotton prices was also offset by Dongying's chemical fiber products, so the journey of thousands of kilometers became the dead end of Xinjiang's textile industry.

After the economic crisis, the national statutory wage was raised, and even Shandong's textile industry was moving out, and Xinjiang's textile industry had no chance.

Transportation is the biggest difficulty, and the distance of thousands of kilometers is the biggest obstacle between them and the developed areas in the east. Moreover, the mountains and mountains are steep, and they have to cross many mountain passes to Shaanxi, they have to go through the Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang, and Gansu has a Qinghai Plateau directly, which not only restricts their communication with the east, but also the internal communication in the northwest region is very problematic. It is nearly 1,000 kilometers from Golmud to Xining, and in the eastern region, 1,000 kilometers is boasting of two provinces, and Qinghai has not yet run out of the plateau.

To develop the traffic here, shipping, river transport is not to consider, the Yellow River is not a good navigable river, the water volume is not as abundant as the Pearl River, nine bends and eighteen bends, only in Shaanxi and Shanxi a section of navigable conditions, but still affected by Hukou Waterfall, the Ming and Qing dynasties across the waterfall is to drag the boat to the land to drag over, now has basically given up the river transport here.

Therefore, the northwest traffic problem, can only choose the road and railway, this generation is vast and sparsely populated, even the most populous Shaanxi, is only more than 10 million, the entire northwest combined is less than 20 million people, but the land area has reached more than 300 square kilometers.

But don't think that there are fewer people and more land, people here should live well, on the contrary, although the area here is huge, but more than ninety percent of the land is inhabitable by humans, cut away the Gobi Desert, the dry land with no grass, the most suitable place to live, in fact, is the Guanzhong Plain and other small places.

The reason why so many vast places can not survive, the only reason is the lack of water, it is self-evident how important water is, the ecology of the northwest place in the pre-Qin era is still very good, you can go straight to Lingnan by boat from Xianyang, it is the capital of Qin Shi Huang to dominate the world, thousands of years of development, patches of forests have been cut down, soil erosion is very serious, originally on the Loess Plateau, which was the birthplace of civilization in the Central Plains, only ditches and ravines remain, like a terrible scar, there is no greenery, when it rains, the mudslide will roll down, Sediment is swept into the Yellow River, intensifying the color of the Yellow River.

On the rocky mountains in the south, there are plants that grow tenaciously from the cracks in the stones, and the rocky mountains in the south cannot be more fertile than the loess in the northwest, but they have water.

Yang Chao can't solve the water problem, so he can't solve many problems in arid areas.

And the people there still have to live, like their ancestors, continue to live in the natural world, and if it doesn't rain, they have to dig wells, and the loss of groundwater further exacerbates the deterioration of natural conditions, and the land is desertified, and eventually a desert is formed. People in many places are already on the edge of the desert, hard and tenacious survival, although the battle is very courageous, but why bother, if there is no way, the ghost is willing to fight the sky and the earth, who does not want to live in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Trees are dead, people are alive, Yang Chao can't bring water to people in arid areas, but he can emigrate, water doesn't go to people, people go to water, and living people can still suffocate urine.

As for the culture of heavy land and relocation, the common people are reluctant to move, so there is no way, first adopt the principle of voluntariness, help the people with the worst conditions, those who live in the ravines, poor mountains and bad waters, relocate, move to the northeast and south regions with better conditions, help them move, and help them break the roots of poverty.

There will always be people who are willing to be flexible, and when they really feel that life is better, more people will look like this, and eventually everyone will move out, even if there are a few who are really unwilling to move, that will greatly reduce the pressure on nature. When the time comes, the government hires them to plant trees and improve the ecological environment in the northwest, and the final problem will be solved.

Therefore, the final plan discussed with the Northwest government is a two-pronged approach of tax cuts and immigration. (To be continued.) )
