Two Chinese Dragon bulletproof sedans imitating Maybach drove out of Tangshan one after the other, and Chang Ruiqing, Guan Gao, was speeding on the road leading to Nanjing, and the owners of these two luxury cars were Chang Ruiqing, the current premier of the Great Chinese Federation, and Zhou Elai, the president of the political council and chairman of the Central G Party, but the back seat of the Zhou Elai sedan that drove behind was empty, and it turned out that President Zhou was invited by Premier Chang Da to get into his car when he left the Tangshan official residence after today's enlarged meeting of the Political Affairs Bureau

Today's enlarged meeting of the political bureau has a certain meaning of a tea party and discussion, and in the end it did not form any resolution, but the content that will not be discussed is super rich, involving almost all aspects of China's economic development after the war, but there is only one core, that is, urbanization! And the core of urbanization is metropolisization! Chang Ruiqing seems to have pinned the future modernization of China on the construction of the eight metropolises, and in this regard, the bigwigs of China and G are all skeptical, or even hold opposing opinions, so after the issue of "rural land concentration" finally reached a consensus, there were certain differences between the top leaders of China and G on the issue of "metropolisization", and Chang Ruiqing and Zhou Elai went to Nanjing City to visit Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Jshi on the way to further exchange views on the issue of "metropolis".

Outside the car window, there is a series of hot engineering construction scenes, everywhere is just started construction sites, now Nanjing has three major centers, one is the old city of Nanjing as the core, in fact, also includes a large area of new areas outside the city wall of Nanjing; One is a new urban area centered on Tangshan Administrative District; One is the industrial zone north of the Yangtze River, before the war, these three areas were basically not connected to each other, as if they were three cities, but after the war began, a large area of land between Tangshan New Town and the old city of Nanjing was requisitioned by the federal government in the name of war readiness construction, but it has been abandoned there and no one cares about it, until in recent months, companies have successively purchased land on both sides of the "Tangnan Highway" to build houses, needless to say, it must be some consortiums with very bright noses have smelled the smell of Nanjing's great urban development after the war

Chang Ruiqing took his eyes back from a construction site next to the highway that was digging the foundation, and said to Zhou E beside him with a smile: "The construction of Nanjing City seems to have begun, not only the wasteland between Tangnan and some people are building western-style houses, but also the wasteland around the industrial zone in Jiangbei There are also people who have taken a fancy to it, I don't know if they plan to build the kind of apartment houses sold to the working class...... This is a good thing, there are millions of workers and their families in the Jiangbei Industrial Zone, and the housing problem needs to be solved...... Xiangyu: Do you think it will be possible to turn the area around Nanjing into a metropolitan agglomeration with tens of millions of people in the future?"

Zhou Elai's brows beside him kept frowning, as if he was thinking hard: "Prime Minister, if you have this determination, I believe you can achieve your goal, but if the eight metropolitan urban agglomerations attract 70% of the country's urban population, I'm afraid that other cities in the federation will become very depressed, which may cause regional development imbalance, right?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Isn't this the result I want?" Concentrating the human, financial, and material resources of the entire federation into eight urban agglomerations located in China seems to me to be a necessary means to maintain the long-term unity of the federation, and I have said the truth many times, and Brother Xiangyu must have already understood it."

"Then the rest of the Federation will not develop?" Zhou Elai asked rhetorically with a frown

Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said: "Of course, other places also need to develop, but they can't get the support of the federal finance" He paused and said: "The eight metropolises are using the financial resources of the federation to build a city and use the opportunity of the second land reform to find that the land is exchanged for huàn coupons to accelerate the gathering of people and property, which belongs to pulling out seedlings and fueling it, if it is to be fully spread out in the whole federation, the money in the government's pocket will not be enough to spend, and there will definitely be a lot of investment waste, so the development of other cities in the federation can only rely on the industry to take the road of gradual development, It is not possible to carry out leapfrog development like the eight metropolises, and the construction of the eight metropolises is actually gradual, the first phase of the planning is only 35,000 square kilometers, whether to start the second phase, that is, the development of the metropolitan urban agglomeration, also depends on the situation

In addition, how to develop our urbanization road, whether to develop super metropolises, medium-sized cities or small towns, mainly depends on the needs of the market, and depends on where the people are willing to live. And not where do we, the politicians, want them to live? In fact, the idea of politicians is that Changcheng starts from the interests of politics, and his head follows his ass, and he often eliminates the opportunity for the great development of the town he is in power, and does not eliminate the flow of people and property from the area where they are in power, which is understandable, but how to retain people and property, how to develop their place, that is their own business, the federal government can not help, but it will not set up any obstacles to prevent the local development of its own city, the federal government just uses its own financial resources to develop the eight metropolises, Because I, the Federal Prime Minister, believe that the eight metropolises are the dreams of the vast majority of young people in the Federation, and I will give them as much as possible a chance to realize their dreams."

Chang Ruiqing knew that there must be many people in the Chinese Communist Party who did not agree with his words, in the minds of some people, the dream of the youth of the Great China Federation was at that time in the countryside, such a vast world where they could make great achievements, to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants, but Chang Ruiqing has been a young man for at least decades, and has also come into contact with countless young people, but he has never seen the master who wants to go to the mountains and the countryside to fight the heavens and the earth, but he has seen many people who have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze into the big city and stay in the big city. At the same time, he has also seen the spectacular scene of empty cities everywhere in China: on the one hand, the suburbs of the five metropolises of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are still quite empty, and there are still many lands protected by the red line, which are not allowed to build houses and sell them to nationals who want to squeeze into the metropolis or have lived in the metropolis for n years; On the one hand, they are expanding and building new cities in remote cities where no one wants to go, and I don't know how much farmland has turned into empty cities

Of course, such urbanization may be difficult to appear in the current Greater China Federation, after all, the financial resources of local governments are limited, and the financial expenditure is constrained by the local council, it is difficult to make too much of a career, and most of the land in the eastern part of the federation is private, and the connection between land and finance is mainly real estate tax (industrial, commercial and residential land) and land endowment, so relying on the financial resources of local governments, even if they want to engage in urban construction, it is impossible to achieve, unless there is really industrial support to drive urban development

Zhou Elai was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally nodded and said, "Prime Minister...... The Party will support you no matter what, and the 'Second Land Reform Bill' and the 'Eight Metropolitan Development Bills' will definitely be supported by all Party members."

Chang Ruiqing also nodded with satisfaction, since the Great China Federation has taken the evil path of democratic constitutionalism, then he, the prime minister, must always communicate with the members of the Senate and the two houses to obtain their support, and then he can implement his own policies. On the one hand, they used various methods to persuade them, and also asked Mao, Chen, Duxiu, Zeng Qi and others to go to the United States to inspect agriculture; As for the Kuomintang, although Jiang Jshi has expressed his support for the second land reform, he still has to personally go to the door to listen to the opinions of the Kuomintang on the specific implementation rules of the second land reform proposal and the eight metropolitan construction projects, so as to show respect for the opposition parties (to be continued......
