I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 658, The Gap

These long histories argued for a long time, but Xu Wei did not agree with their ideas, but waited until the time was almost up, and adjourned the meeting directly!

"Government, have you seen it now? The governors of the states are really a golden mountain in the imperial court. The plans are so big that even the prime minister is surprised. The imperial court can't afford it! How can such a budget be passed!"

Xu Wei can understand the thoughts of the people below very well, after all, he has seen a lot of officials scrambling for projects in the Celestial Dynasty.

"Everyone has a good heart, and they all want to develop Daqian well. It's just that they can only see one area, and they can't coordinate the development like the imperial court. We must affirm everyone's ideas on this point. We must take this initiative and enthusiasm into consideration. Protect.

But as the prime minister of Dagan, you must have your own persistence, and you can't let the officials below mess around. Like they said, a project will cost more than one billion yuan. If it fails, it will be extremely bad for the entire Dagan and the people. Irresponsible things, the court will be held accountable, so we must stop our officials from making these unnecessary mistakes in advance, because the tuition is too expensive! "

Paying tuition should be what Xu Wei hears the most. Over the past few decades, Xu Wei has no idea how much tuition he has paid, but Xu Wei knows that every time the tuition is extremely painful, what TV buys hundreds of production lines? They were soon eliminated. They purchased refrigerator production lines but had to import them because they couldn’t produce compressors. What else invented VCD but couldn’t produce laser heads? The profits were all taken away by foreign countries, while the country left a lot of feathers.Xu Wei has heard too much about this kind of thing, he doesn't want the world to pay tuition fees, even if he wants to pay, he should pay less!
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "The development of industry, especially the construction of such a factory worth more than one billion yuan, should not be allowed to mess around with the officials below, but you, the prime minister, should take care of everything and arrange the financial and industrial layout of my big work. Build!"

Niu Guiwei: "Actually, my subordinates don't know much about the factory, especially for such a large factory, my subordinates don't even know how they operate, how should they be laid out?"

The industry in this era has just begun to sprout, and many factories can even be called handicraft industries. Now let’s talk to Niu Gui about the industrial layout. Niu Gui himself doesn’t have much experience. Now Niu Gui is worried, and he will have to pay the tuition fees just mentioned!
Xu Weidao: "You can gather some master-level craftsmen of Daqian to form an engineering department, which is the same as our staff department of Daqian, which is dedicated to providing advice for the industrial development of Daqian. These people are front-line producers and Managers, they are professionals, they understand factories and machinery better than our big officials, and their opinions are closer to reality than us laymen!"

Niu Gui nodded and said: "Government, after this meeting is over, I will go to form the Engineering Department"

But Niu Gui still asked: "But what about this budget meeting?"

Xu Wei said calmly: "All the projects they reported were rejected. Now we have gone through two years of war, especially this time we occupied three states, which can be said to be the largest annexation of land, and it is still a big man It is not an exaggeration to say that the three largest states occupy half of the Han Dynasty, and now we have worked hard to support ourselves."

"Our main task in the next few years is to find a way to relocate the wealthy and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River, complete the task of equalizing the land in the three states, build water conservancy facilities in the three states, and build infrastructure such as primary schools and hospitals. These tasks will make us do it all. All the fiscal revenue for the past few years has been squeezed out, and the industrial development can only start after the imperial court has fully digested the three states of the Han Dynasty, and the small amount of funds can only be arranged by the imperial court as a whole."

Niu Gui said in distress: "I'm afraid these people won't be reconciled!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Then let me notify them!"

The conversation was divided into two parts. Although the state representatives had a fierce quarrel just now, after the meeting, they got together in twos and threes, and Chen Deng, Tian Feng and Zhen Yan came to a teahouse not far from the street!
Then Chen Deng sighed: "I didn't expect to see Brother Yuanhao in Dagan's meeting!"

Does he know how badly Daqian has hit the elite clan? The friends he knew before and relatives related to his family are basically not seen at the top of Dagan, and Chen Deng also knows that even the middle-level There are not many former nobles and clansmen. It can be said that Dagan cleaned up the previous dynasty very cleanly. In other words, this is simply the end of the Dharma era.

A fish that slipped through the net like him is considered a miracle!He had never seen any officials of the former big Han or people from the noble families in Dagan.But this time he saw Tian Feng's figure at the meeting, and he was very surprised at that time.

Did he know that Tian Feng was Yuan Shao's important adviser and had already been exiled overseas by the generals, so he was so surprised to see Tian Feng!
Tian Feng said indifferently: "I am still wearing a sinful body, but Governor Bao Xin happens to value me, so I have the opportunity to return to Da~Central Plains."

Tian Feng wanted to talk about a big man, but he immediately realized that this is now the world of big cadres, so he changed his mind!
Zhen Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Tian's time has come and gone. With Mr. Tian's ability, he will definitely be able to make great achievements in the imperial court in the future!"

Zhen Yan is the luckiest person among these people. His younger sister married the governor of Jizhou Wang Guojun, and then under the operation of Wang Guojun, he became a small official in the Jizhou government, and then became Cao Jun. This time he followed the Jizhou governor. They are all knowledgeable, but they didn't expect that he would see Tian Feng and Chen Deng in Jidu. The three of them were originally from the aristocratic side, so they naturally came together!

But Tian Feng said indifferently: "I haven't done many things that are beneficial to the world in half my life. Now I just want to do some facts. Although the people who go to the court are not very knowledgeable, they can do things down-to-earth. Things that can’t be done at all, but here even a magistrate can do it, let go of the burden of a big man, and the old man feels that doing things here in Dagan is fun!”

This is Tian Feng's real thought. He was an official in Jizhou at the beginning, and he was famous among scholars, and he wanted to change the situation of refugees everywhere in Jizhou. It can be said that the big man has not changed at all. At the beginning when he took refuge in Yuan Shao, he also wanted to rely on Yuan Shao to change the big man, but in the end he was defeated by the big army and became a prisoner himself. Do something that you want to do.

Dagan is a brand new world. Although the scene today is noisy, it is not for the big man to see. The officials of the big man will not care about the development of the local area. They don't care about the life and death of the people. But Zhang Jiao shattered such deception in the end, and the big man stepped into the end step by step.

Today he saw that the entire Dagan gathered together to discuss any local development. Not only could this not be seen in Jizhou, but it could not even be seen in Luoyang City. The matter is ten times stronger. With such a strong contrast, Tian Feng knew that the demise of the big man was inevitable, and even his sadness eased.

Chen Deng agreed and said: "Officials with big cadres can indeed do things. When I was in Xuzhou and wanted to recruit refugees and stabilize the place, the officials in Xuzhou, the local tyrants and even the aristocrats tried their best to hold me back. As for me, I have been useless for several years."

Now that Dagan has occupied Xuzhou for less than 5 years, he has built hundreds of miles of canals, adding millions of acres of irrigated land to Xuzhou, and with the steam engine, it has broken through tens of millions. The land tax is higher than that of Dahan in one year, such a thing is unimaginable in Dahan!
Zhen Yan was surprised and said: "A person in Xuzhou has billions of dollars in income, Brother Yuanlong, why do you still come here and ask for a project!"

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Xuzhou has a lot of financial revenue, but it also spends a lot. Not to mention the support of 20 troops on the front line, most of this is borne by the imperial court, but it doesn't cost money to build hundreds of miles of canals, and now Xuzhou is in The wharves along the coast are being built extensively, and every wharf swallows gold beasts, plus the cost of repairing roads, expanding the city, etc., and the imperial court has to support Xuzhou with 10 billion yuan every year, so as to maintain the current situation of Xuzhou's development!"

Although Chen Deng is a long history, but because Wang Lei is on the front line, Chen Deng is basically doing the norms of Xuzhou's development. It can be said that his original ideas for Xuzhou's development have been realized one by one in the past few years, and there are even many He is also doing things that he didn't think of before. It is precisely because he has served as an official in Dahan and Dagan that he knows how lucky it is to be an official in Dagan.

There are no powerful families and other officials to hold back, and the money is extremely abundant. He can show all his inner ambitions and talents, and see it realized a little bit. The inner satisfaction is not comparable to that of the Han Dynasty. He is now I am very fortunate that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao made his family ruined, otherwise he would not have been so easy to enter the Daqian court to display his ambitions!
Then Chen Deng said with a smile: "Your Jizhou is one of the top three richest states. Xuzhou's finances are probably not even comparable to Jizhou's glass factory. Your Jizhou is better. With such a big financial source, even without the support of the imperial court, Also have enough financial resources to build a new factory!"

Zhen Yan shook his head and said: "Jizhou also has troubles in Jizhou. The governor planned to build a canal running through Jizhou to solve the problem of cargo transportation. Originally, this plan had been rejected by the court, and he thought it was not the right time, but the governor was worried. That's it. Give up and plan to use Jizhou's finances to develop this project. Now Jizhou is not as rich as it was at the beginning, otherwise I would not come here. The governor thinks that steam engines will be the focus of future economic development, and the profits earned even It may exceed the glass factory, so I want to build a steam engine factory to Jizhou!"

Tian Feng said: "Wang Cishi has a good vision, so I won't talk about it in the future. The widespread use of steam pumps has already increased Dagan's irrigated land by 1 million mu, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 200 acres worth of land every year." billions of food, this is not the only use of the steam engine, it can also be transported, the goods pulled are not much worse than a small boat, but the speed is dozens of times faster, and it can also weave cloth. Bring hundreds of billions of wealth, which is much more important than any glass factory!"

Neither Chen Deng nor Zhen Yan thought that the steam engine would have such a great effect, but now they thought about it and found that the steam engine was far more important than they thought.

So Chen Deng asked: "Mr. Tian also wants to bring a steam engine factory to Yizhou?"

But Tian Feng smiled wryly and said: "Yizhou does not have such conditions. I came here just to let the imperial court ask for more immigrants to Yizhou. It would be best if I could recruit some craftsmen! I dare not ask for it in a barren land. too much!"

But Chen Deng said: "Yizhou is still called a barren land. One brown sugar is enough to feed the whole Yizhou. Your brown sugar can earn more than one billion yuan from Xuzhou every year. If the climate is not suitable, I would like it." A sugar cane garden is being built in Xuzhou!"

Xuzhou can only grow some wheat and soybeans. Even the most profitable cotton is several times less profitable than brown sugar. Chen Deng estimates that the income from brown sugar alone can make Yizhou rank among the top ten richest counties. The financial revenue of Xuzhou as a whole is not as good as that of Yizhou.

Tian Feng said: "But it is impossible to develop Yizhou with a brown sugar industry alone. Now the price of brown sugar has dropped by three times, not to mention that now that the big Han has occupied the south of the Yangtze River, sugar cane can also be grown in these places. We If you don’t want to find a way to develop other industries, I’m afraid that other places will soon catch up!”

It was only then that Chen Deng and the others suddenly realized that Yizhou, which seemed to be the wealthiest, was actually the most dangerous, and if it developed carelessly, it would completely stagnate!It seems that everyone has their own difficulties!
The next day, everyone gathered together again.

Xu Wei said to the state representatives: "Let me first talk about the imperial court's conclusion on your plans! That is, the imperial court disagrees with the industrial development plans submitted by the states!"

With a buzzing sound, the representatives below couldn't help but make their own voices. They knew that the imperial court would definitely reject some plans. After all, the factories they wanted to build added up to tens of billions, which was simply not what the imperial court could afford.But they did not expect that none of the courts agreed.

Xu Wei continued: "I know everyone is surprised, but the reason is very simple, that is, the development of industry has not been the focus of the imperial court for the past two years, and the imperial court's financial expenditure has to be invested in the newly occupied three states of the Han Dynasty. Everyone knows this The three states have a vast area, almost equal to the area of ​​the imperial court's Kyushu. The imperial court's financial balance must be allocated to immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River, and the construction of water conservancy facilities and roads and other infrastructure. This investment will be extremely huge, so within 2-3 years, the imperial court will not Maybe build a big factory!"

Hearing Xu Wei's words, these state representatives were weak and a little helpless. They fought for half a month, but they ended up feeling lonely.

Xu Wei continued: "In the future, the development of Daqian industry depends on the overall planning of the imperial court. The imperial court will notify you in advance of where the factory will be located. Everyone has the same opportunity, and it is useless to grab it!"
