I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 757, Investment Promotion

The development of Jiangnan is one of the focuses of economic work in the past ten years. Because Xu Wei knows the potential of Jiangnan, he has invested a lot in the development of Jiangnan, investing tens of billions of money every year. However, Jiangnan at this time is not yet a future generation. In that wealthy place, the famous six counties of Jiangdong occupied the territory of three or four provinces in later generations, with a population of only three or four million. It can be said that most of Yangzhou has no trace of civilization.

If Daqian wants to develop Jiangnan, he can only drive the development of Jiangnan with the development of shipping. This is the most convenient way to develop. Among them, Yangzhou occupies a geographical position. It is also necessary to build up the piers along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River.

But this aroused the dissatisfaction of Jingzhou officials. After all, Jingzhou has always been the center of Jiangnan's economy, and Jingzhou has the highest level of development. As a result, Yangzhou has now moved ahead of their Jingzhou.

Xu Lun continued to complain: "We didn't eat the meat developed in the south of the Yangtze River. We gnawed at the bones. You don't know how difficult Jingzhou's government affairs are. Those people who are full of Vietnamese people don't trust us. In their hearts, Liu Bei The prestige is higher, and we are the ones who beat Liu Bei away, which makes it difficult for us to gain their trust when doing things in Jingzhou.

However, there are quite a few of them in Jingzhou. If there is a turmoil, the whole Jingzhou and even the south of the Yangtze River will be in chaos. The Han people feel that we are bullying them, and they are not convinced, and something will always make us embarrassed, but if all the fertile land is given to the Han people, these hundreds of Vietnamese people will not be convinced, and think that we bullying him. "

"Fortunately, the ruling has driven out all the powerful clans in Jingzhou, and vacated a lot of fertile land, which is enough for them to share. Otherwise, I dare not imagine how deep the conflict between the Han people will be. "

Shen Jianxin said in disbelief: "A place as big as Jingzhou, with a population of only a few million, and the nobles and nobles were driven away by the ruling party, how could there not be enough land?"

Xu Lun smiled wryly: "Although Jingzhou looks larger than the three states in the Central Plains, most of the land is either hills or mountains or lakes and swamps! During the Han Dynasty, the population of Jingzhou was simply not comparable to that of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Sili. , so we can’t just look at the size of the land, but also the degree of development of the land, and Jingzhou is a place with an extremely low degree of development.”

"Jingzhou does not lack land, but what is lacking is fertile fields. Everyone wants fertile fields. Of course, swamps and hills and swamps that require a lot of effort to transform are not wanted. After all, fertile land is limited in quantity. Even if the imperial court confiscated the land of the powerful and noble families, it was still not enough. If you want good land, you can only find a way to transform the swamp, but transforming the swamp is a matter that consumes a lot of energy and money. Naturally, few people are willing to do it easily. It’s hard work, so those people are staring at the reclaimed land, if the governor Jing measured a bowl of water that was very flat, there would be more turmoil in Jingzhou.”

Zhen Xing also couldn't believe it: "Our Dagan's ruling philosophy is the best for the people, no matter what, it's better than that of the Han Dynasty, how could they be dissatisfied with the court? If there is land distribution, I will complain. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it!”

Xu Lun smiled wryly and said: "Actually, Liu Bei did not do badly in Jingzhou. Liu Bei has been doing land reclamation in the south of the Yangtze River for 10 years. Now, Liu Bei is also doing what we are doing in Jingzhou. Of course, the local people can't be as good as the people in the Central Plains." I am also grateful to the imperial court! They still miss what Liu Bei did in Jingzhou back then! Especially the Baiyue people in Jingzhou, they miss Liu Bei very much. Liu Bei can be said to be the first person who gave these Baiyue people respect. .”

Shen Jianxin said: "It seems that the situation in Jiangnan is very complicated!"

Xu Lun said: "Inspector Yang believes that economic development is the key. As long as the lives of the people in Jiangnan are better than before, everyone will gradually forget about Liu Bei!"

Speaking of this, Xu Lun looked at Zhen Xing and said, "Old classmate, do you have any plans to build a factory in Jingzhou? Now Jingzhou is attracting investment. As long as you invest enough, Jingzhou can reduce half of the tax within five years!"

Zhen Xing smiled and said: "If Jingzhou can make money, I can persuade adults to invest in Jingzhou, but Jingzhou's infrastructure is too poor. I want to build a machinery factory. Jingzhou does not have enough steel and various machine tools. I want to build a shipyard , Jingzhou has enough hemp rope, canvas, tung oil and other materials for shipbuilding? If not, it would be very difficult to build this shipyard. Even if I want to go to Jingzhou to build a cement factory, but there is no steam crusher Otherwise, the cost of building a cement factory in Jingzhou will be several times higher than that of Jidu!"

Xu Lun said: "It is not necessary to build a factory. Agriculture is Jingzhou's strong point. Your family didn't sell silk before. You can go to Jingzhou to build a silk factory or a tea factory. Now silk and tea are selling very well in Dagan. You don't have to worry about making money. No money!"

Zhen Xing said with a smile: "This is not the most profitable industry among your factories in Jingzhou County. Can you use it to make us money?"

There are not many industries in Jingzhou, the strongest may be the silk factory left by Liu Bei. The world is peaceful, the income of the people has increased, and with the opening of the Silk Road by sea and land, the market demand for silk has expanded rapidly, and the advanced textile machines In recent years, the production of silk has continued to increase, and the price has continued to fall. These years, it has entered thousands of households. Therefore, the silk industry is extremely prosperous now, and it can even be said that the supply is in short supply.

It can be said that the current silk industry is the pillar industry of the entire three states in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, Jingzhou's silk industry is the strongest, with an annual output value of more than [-] billion yuan, which can provide Jingzhou with billions of dollars in profits and taxes!
As for the tea industry, although Yuzhou first developed the tea industry, the best places for tea are the hills in the south of the Yangtze River. In recent years, the production capacity of tea in the south of the Yangtze River has continued to expand, and the herdsmen in the north are all wealthy. There is no shortage of money, and the demand for tea is increasing every year, especially the high-quality tea is sold at extremely high prices by these nouveau riche, so now the tea industry is one of the most profitable industries in Daqian.

So Zhen Xing couldn't believe that the Jingzhou government would open such a profitable industry to them!
Xu Lun said helplessly: "We don't lack land, and we don't lack tea gardens where tea grows, but we lack capital investment. There are too many places in the south of the Yangtze River that are suitable for planting mulberry and tea gardens, but there are not many rich people. !"
