Chapter 437: Differences in Time and Space
Zhu Yasugaki's plan was piloted in Edo, and some of the data has been relatively realistic.
With the gradual unfolding of the second industrial revolution and the continuous development of the Ming economy, the middle class of the Ming Dynasty is rapidly expanding.
In recent years, groups that originally relied on rental housing have been turning to buying their own houses on a large scale.
Against this backdrop, the housing market in Edo continues to be sluggish.
At the same time, government-owned manufacturers across Daming are opening and expanding on a large scale, and many people involved have seen the huge potential of the housing market.
Therefore, yamen officials and heads of government-owned manufacturers in other regions do not want to implement ticket and purchase restriction policies in their own jurisdictions.
This will affect their test scores and performance.
However, the status of Zhu Jingyuan's policy of presiding over the pilot project in the hearts of the Ming Emperor and himself is also a big issue.
If it is just a pure test, then officials and government-run manufacturers in other regions can ignore these things for the time being.
If the corresponding policies are not implemented in their own localities, then they can spend more time on real estate and other industries.
But if these policies are the true intentions of the Ming Emperor and Zhu Jingyuan, and they are the policies that the Ming Dynasty will generally implement in the future, then the situation is completely different.
Even in other regions, where similar policies have not been piloted, officials in other regions are afraid to deliberately make choices that run counter to these policies.
Don't dare to get stuck in the time before the implementation of the policy, and deliberately make a lot of money in these industries.
That might put a number in the minds of Emperor Daming and Prince Dashi.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty and the official evaluation and promotion system are already very perfect in this world.
But the authority of the Ming Emperor is still unprecedented.
At present, the Ming Dynasty still does not have a constitution in the sense of later generations, and the power of the emperor still has no clear boundary.
If the Ming Emperor found that the officials in some places deliberately acted against him, then the key officials in these places may have no future in their future careers.
Therefore, the problem of Liu Haidong and other yamen officials in Shaanxi is not only their own problem, but also a common problem of a large number of local officials, and they all want to know Zhu Jingyuan's attitude.
The end result shocked them.
This is not only the meaning of the emperor, but also the meaning of Zhu Jingyuan, which is recognized by both the Ming Emperor and the Prince of Great Food.
And the attitude is very resolute.
So in the next few years, more than ten years, or even decades, there is no need to make up your mind in this regard.
The officials of the various yamen in Shaanxi headed by Liu Haidong bowed down together in a very complicated mood after Zhu Jingyuan finished the warning after speaking.
With the answer to this question, today's meeting is finally over.
The officials led by Liu Haidong retired, and Zhu Jingyuan began to look through the data and archives of the various yamen in Shaanxi in the past few years to understand the general situation in the area, as he had done when he first arrived in the Lion City and Edo.
After looking at the local data, Zhu Jingyuan was a little surprised.
Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously thought that after the start of the second industrial revolution and the power system shifted to internal combustion engines and electricity, the original industrial cities based on coal fuel and steam machinery might decline rapidly in the process.
However, the local industrial and commercial development in Shaanxi is not only good, but also the growth momentum is as strong as in other regions.
However, Zhu Jingyuan soon realized that he had been misled by his memory again.
I just remember that many important early industrial cities in the previous life had old industrial areas in difficult situations.
There are also very famous "Rust Belts" in Europe and the United States, and Detroit, which has changed from a "car city" to a "crime capital".
The memory of the previous life is subconsciously aligned with the replacement of the two industrial revolutions in this world.
But the Third Industrial Revolution is known as the Technological Revolution.
The first two industrial revolutions were still industrial revolutions, in a sense, but the scale was different.
The pillar industries of Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places in Daming have three major categories: coal resources, steam machinery, and iron and steel industry.
These three categories of industries are indeed all industries formed in the era of the first industrial revolution, but in the era of the second industrial revolution, they are not completely "outdated".
There is no important but impoverished situation that has left traditional industrial areas as in the era of the technological revolution.
These industries ushered in a new round of growth in the era of the Second Industrial Revolution.
Although the power system of military and civilian ships is rapidly shifting to fuel power, the amount of coal consumed on the power system of ships does not account for the majority in the entire industry.
In the process of switching from coal to oil on warships, Zhu Jingyuan made a special suggestion at the central court of the Ming Dynasty to transfer the corresponding industries and personnel to coal-fired power stations as much as possible.
Electricity and internal combustion engines are the "two legs" of the second industrial revolution, and coal-fired power stations are the most reasonable and convenient power supply solutions in the northern region of Daming.
After the Second Industrial Revolution, the size of factories expanded rapidly, the household appliance industry grew rapidly, and the demand for electricity in industry and households expanded rapidly.
Much of this demand translates into demand for coal.
Therefore, the demand for coal in the era of the Second Industrial Revolution was higher than in the era of the First Industrial Revolution.
Although the fuel of the new battleship has been replaced with fuel oil, the energy conversion method still relies on steam, but from a piston steam engine to a steam turbine.
Although the correlation between these two technologies is not very high, with the industrial base for the development and production of steam engines, the research and production of steam turbines is still one step ahead of the layman.
New coal-fired power stations will also use steam turbines on a large scale.
Finally, the demand for steel in the new round of industrial revolution has skyrocketed, and the demand for coal in the steel industry is also expanding simultaneously.
Therefore, the current state of the resource cities and traditional heavy industry cities in the interior of the Ming Dynasty is not bad.
In later generations, the plight of the "Rust Belt" and "old industrial areas" around the world was caused by the traditional heavy industry areas after the scientific and technological revolution, and more of them were caused by de-industrialization.
The sunset industry of later generations is still a new sunrise industry in this era.
However, in inland areas, including Shaanxi, the problems are also obvious.
It's what you've already discovered on the road.
That is, a few important cities such as Xi'an and Lanzhou, as well as some of their own industrial industries, and other places are good if there are mines, and nothing is good if there are no mines.
The current farming in Guanzhong is not as good as that in North China and Jianghuai.
In addition, after the land has been completely annexed and the large farms have begun to shift to mechanization, the countryside is completely deserted.
Neither the elderly nor the children.
There is no plain where there are no mines, and now there is really nothing.
There is even an order of magnitude gap in financial data between different prefectures and counties.
After all, there are some places where there are neither minerals nor basic industries, and there are basically no agricultural taxes, and the exodus of people continues.
The situation in these places, as well as the gaps in different places, really shocked Zhu Jingyuan.
Zhu Jingyuan even thought of the big food country before the discovery of oil.
"These places ...... How should it develop? Or how to save ......
"How to deal with the problem of regional development balance......
Zhu Jingyuan sat in the office, looking at the data and slowly began to be in a daze.
"Didn't the imperial court care about these issues?
"Grandpa was the emperor when he was the emperor, and now the emperor's father, they can't know these things, right?"
Zhu Jingyuan thought about it alone for a long time, and finally decided to call and ask.
In the past few years, Daming's telephone system has also taken shape rapidly.
The important cities in the native provinces of the Ming Dynasty have assumed public and commercial telephone lines.
Zhu Jingyuan's identity, of course, is qualified to be used directly, and he can also directly enter the Forbidden City.
Zhu Jingyuan picked up the phone, told the operator his identity, and directly asked to find his father's office.
Without any hesitation, the other side immediately tried to answer the phone.
After the phone was connected, Zhu Jingyuan casually said hello, and then said the problem he found.
Finally, I asked my father if he knew about these situations and whether he had any plans accordingly.
The other side was silent for several seconds, and when Zhu Jingyuan was about to ask, he heard his father's voice.
Emperor Zhu Jianyan of the Ming Dynasty asked Zhu Jingyuan with obvious doubts:
"Jingyuan...... Why do you have such doubts?
"The current policy of the Ming Dynasty in terms of regional balance should coincide with your choice in the Great Food Country, right?
"The current Ming Dynasty is not what Chongzhen used to be, we don't need to care too much about the regional balance, it should be said that we don't need to forcibly maintain the regional balance.
"The land that the Ming Dynasty now controls is vast enough, and many places with superior natural conditions have not yet been developed.
"There's no need to spend too much energy in places where the land is barren, the environment is harsh, and it's not a key strategic location, and there's no need to force the population to stay in those places.
"We should allow the locals to move to better conditions......
"Isn't that what you did in the Big Food Country, putting the population in a place suitable for survival and development......
Zhu Jingyuan suddenly realized before he finished listening, and then there was a sense of time and space confusion again.
Realize again that you are once again affected by the memories of your past life.
He refused to immigrate to the country and refused to engage in agriculture and industrial construction in the country.
Because the local environment of the Great Food Country is too poor, most of the area is not suitable for human life.
Therefore, he has positioned the local area of the big food country as a supplier of oil resources.
The industrial industry of the Great Food Country and the immigrants from the local area were placed in the eastern part of Mozhou, where the natural environment was better, as much as possible.
I did this in the big food country because I didn't have deep feelings for the big food country, and psychologically I didn't regard it as my "mother country", so the rotten land was directly barren and used well.
Now that he is in the Ming Dynasty, facing the inland of the Ming Dynasty, he instinctively regards them as his home country.
Under the influence of the memories of his past life, he instinctively wanted to take care of and develop backward areas.
Instinctively, I want to make the whole country as balanced as possible.
However, as soon as his father spoke, he quickly reacted that the situation in the mother countries of the two worlds was completely different.
The area is ten times larger, but the population is less than half, and the key is that there is a large amount of undeveloped land.
Like the mother country in the previous life, if you work hard to develop remote and backward and difficult areas, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty in this world, it is like leaving a large piece of good land not to plant, you have to go to the mountains to develop terraces, and you have to reclaim the sea.
But in the mother country of the previous life, there was no large piece of good land to plant, so I could only find a way to plant food in the corners and corners of the whole family.
The current Ming Dynasty is still barren with large pieces of good fields, so there is no need to toss the horns.
As for the uneven development of the region......
Wang Ya said at the time, how can such a large country be balanced.
And more importantly, the good places are not filled with people, so why fill the bad places?
Dragging the population in places that are not suitable for development and forcibly carrying out construction is a waste of manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty.
As for a certain county and a certain prefecture, there is almost no one, and there is no one to lose......
If there is only a small population left in a poorer place, the standard of living may improve.
So after Zhu Jianyan finished speaking, Zhu Jingyuan's side was also silent.
Then Zhu Jianyan took care of his own "understanding":
"You should have your mind not turned, you should understand it if you think about it yourself.
"However, this kind of thinking problem just shows that the importance of the native provinces of the Ming Dynasty in your mind is far greater than that of the Great Food Country, and I am very happy to ......."
Zhu Jingyuan's side finally came to his senses:
"Father, I really didn't react at once.
"But the problem now is that if I don't think about the regional balance, I don't seem to have much to do here in Shaanxi.
"The vast majority of the population here are pure Ming people, and the certificate is basically issued directly.
"There are no major problems with the construction of government-owned manufacturers here, and the local industrial development is relatively smooth.
"At most, we will continue to implement the ticket system and the purchase restriction system for basic industries, which have been experimented with in Edo......
"My main task is to oversee the regions that I should oversee, the provinces further west and north, and the few vassal states in the northwest."
Zhu Jianyan also responded directly when he heard this:
"Indeed, that is your main task, I was going to directly arrange for you to go to Ili and let you participate in politics in the Western Regions.
"But your mother is reluctant to let you go, and my father and I are also worried about your safety, so I changed you to Xi'an.
"But you can directly recruit the heads of those provinces, as well as the kings of those feudal states.
"You can ask them to arrange someone to stay with you and convey your orders and the local situation."
Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while:
"If nothing else, they should take the initiative to visit me, right?"
Zhu Jianyan also said casually:
"That's right, then you can watch and deal with it."
Zhu Jingyuan chatted with his father for a while, discussing some strategies in the affairs of the northwestern provinces and vassal states.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jing continued to look through the local information.
Another strategy to start thinking about is to simply move the locals out of places where there are no resources, no key transportation and no strategic nodes, and return the local land to wildlife.
Zhu Jingyuan's prediction was not wrong, and the next morning, Niu Jian, the staff member in charge of Zhu Jingyuan's general affairs, sent Zhu Jingyuan a message that the king of the vassal country wanted to meet.
Xianbei Guogong Luo Yashan hoped to go to Xi'an to meet Zhu Jingyuan.
Luo Yashan himself was still in Xianbei City, including them, the feudal monarchs and the provincial magistrates of the Ming Dynasty, and they could not leave their posts without the permission of their superiors.
Therefore, you must write a report application first and get permission before you can come over.
Luoya Mountain is the most special situation among all the feudal states of the Ming Dynasty.
Royashan's original surname was Romanov, and he was the half-brother of Emperor Nicholas of Lucia.
At the same time, his daughter Luo Feiya is also one of Zhu Jingyuan's concubines and life secretaries.
The Principality of Xianbei was a country forcibly separated by a peace treaty at the end of the World War.
It is not the original country of Kazakhstan, Khiva, Persia.
Luo Yashan's attitude towards Daming is the most sensitive.
In addition, I definitely wanted to come and see my daughter, so I came the most actively.
Zhu Jingyuan also did not hesitate to directly return the welcome.
