I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 816, Competing for the budget

15 years of working hard, October [-]th!

The annual autumn council was held again in Jidu, hundreds of councilors and local officials from all over Dagan gathered together.

Wang Guojun made a summary of last year's work in front of hundreds of high-level executives and congressmen.

Dagan is still in the midst of prosperity at this time, and the annual economic increment has been greatly improved. For example, the output of grain has increased by 1000 million shi, the output of soybeans has increased by 100 million shi, the output of steel has increased by 3 tons, and the railway has been built for 1500 miles. , 2000 miles of track, 2000 miles of cement roads, 5000 miles of canals were built, and 300 million mu of irrigated land was added.

Last year, all kinds of industrial and agricultural data were increasing, and the financial revenue reached 843 billion yuan for an unprecedented time. In short, the situation of the big work last year was not a small one, but a great one!

The high-ranking cadres present were all smiling when they saw these data. They were in a prosperous age and saw that their country was getting better every year, so they were naturally happy.

Then Wang Guojun took out his prepared financial budget for the next year, which recorded how many railways, tracks, roads and canals he planned to build next year, how much he planned to increase the output of steel, coal, cement, and mines!
As soon as next year's budget came out, the scene suddenly became lively.

Even though it has been built for decades, there are still too many places that need infrastructure. Just like the railway, it is only more than 1 miles, and it barely connects the railway network of the three northern states.

But the Central Plains does not need railways?Jiangnan doesn't need railways?The Southwest doesn't need a railroad?
Of course, it is necessary, but the construction speed of the railway is so fast. It is very rare to have 1500 miles per year. The imperial court came to make overall arrangements.

There are also track construction, road construction, canal construction, and even steel plant construction. These are the interests that local state and county councilors want to fight for!

"The imperial court can't ignore our life and death in Jiangnan!" A voice shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look, it was Jingzhou Councilor Zhu Ya!
Not to be outdone, Zhu Ya stood up and said, "More than half of the land in the south of the Yangtze River is in a wild state!"

After speaking, he took out an extremely huge picture to the center of the field, and then found the blackboard to attract the picture with a magnet. Everyone carefully discovered that it was actually a map of Dagan's territory!

Pointing to the location of Jiangnan, Zhu Ya said: "Look at such a huge land, there are several cities, and there is not a single city in a hundred miles to the south. Then look at the cities in the Central Plains and Hebei, densely packed with The drawings, smaller cities are not worthy of appearing on the drawings, and from the drawings, we can know that that place needs infrastructure even more."

Even after many years of development, the population of Jiangnan has doubled, but because of the great development of the navigation industry, most of the population is concentrated in the coastal areas and along the Yangtze River. Too much improvement, the place that should be barren is still barren, this is difficult to change in a short time!

Another Yangzhou councilor also said: "Our Jiangnan is a good place. As long as the reclaimed land is high-quality, it can easily produce three stones per mu, and two seasons a year. This kind of land is only in Liaodong. Comparable, but they can't grow two seasons."

Then he said heartbrokenly: "Such a rich and precious land, but because of the lack of capital investment, it is left there like this, don't you feel heartbroken! If my Jiangnan can be built as well as the Central Plains, the wealth will definitely be more than the Central Plains many!"

The members of Yanzhou are dissatisfied. You ask for funds and ask for funds. Why use their Central Plains as a stepping stone!

He immediately got up and said: "Railways, tracks, cement roads, and steel plants should be built in our Central Plains. Only when we build them can we connect the four directions. What's the use of building the Jiangnan Railway now? It can't connect the Central Plains and the Central Plains." Hebei, let the people in the south of the Yangtze River enclose themselves!"

This made everyone laugh out loud!
Yuzhou councilor also said loudly: "You Jiangnan is not rich enough, silk, tea, sugar, and even find a way to get into the porcelain industry during this period. Is there any place in the whole Daqian that has more specialties than theirs! You have made so much With so much money, even the railway can be built by itself, but you are still fighting with us poor haha ​​for the imperial court's financial budget, how dare you!"

Although Jiangnan has not been fully developed, it has become rich by taking advantage of the east wind of sea trade.There is no way for God to reward food. Silk, tea, sugar, and porcelain are all specialty products that have been verified in the age of great exploration, and all of these can be produced in Jiangnan.Overseas precious wood, spices, and even expensive minerals such as copper ingots have to pass through the south of the Yangtze River and enter the Dagan inland.

The generation of Wu County and Danyang County has both the power of sea transportation and the power of the Yangtze River. It can be said that this generation has become the fastest-growing place in the entire Dagan. Lou County has now become one of the most populous cities in the entire south. It has a population of more than 50, and it is still increasing rapidly. It is estimated that in less than 10 years, the Oriental Pearl Tower will appear on this land in later generations.

So the people here are very dissatisfied with the representatives of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, who took advantage of the overseas trade, and even got the cheap and bought the good ones, it is not human!
Wang Guojun also had to come out and said: "You Jiangnan is rich. If you have the conditions, you can use local funds to build infrastructure. The court will help you emigrate at most to fill Jiangnan!"

Even though Wang Guojun tried his best to keep a bowl of water flat, he still couldn't help but give some preferential treatment to such a good student as Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is now the fastest-growing place in Daqian, and even if the funds invested in Jiangnan are 3-5 This is much better than this group of poor students in the Northwest. Even compared with Hebei, it only takes a short time to develop, and it is not inferior to Hebei in terms of potential!

Then he continued: "This year's budget is mainly invested in Xiliang, especially the track construction to connect the entire Western Region, in preparation for the convenience of the court to transport materials to the Western Region!"

He looked at everyone and explained: "Liu Bei in Tianzhu is getting more and more powerful. If he annexes the Guishuang Empire, he will border us in the Western Regions. The imperial court wants to increase the strength of the Western Regions and prevent Liu Bei from attacking the Western Regions and even Spy on Xiliang and Chang'an!"

After saying all this, he felt relieved for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the senior officials in power had retired, he would have been unable to hold back the scene!When Niu Gui was the prime minister, even Niu Gui couldn't persuade him to compete for the budget every year. He had to wait until the ruling party came forward to listen to these veterans!
