() Now that Xu Jie has played all his cards, all that’s left is to slowly wait for the Russians’ reply. The bet in this game is that the Russians will surrender like Beiyang for the military port in the Far East and a large piece of land. If the Russians If he still refuses to agree, Xu Jie will consider Beiyang sending troops to occupy Hokkaido! Xu Jie thinks very clearly that Japan must not regain Hokkaido! This is a matter of principle!

Now Xu Jie has more important things to do, which is how to build a complete industrial system for China! A country without strong industry is a weak country. Even if you have a vast territory and a large population, but industry Weak countries will still be regarded as sick men! What's more, in the next five years or so, the new China will still need to go through another war!...

"Northeast China and North China will serve as the core industrial areas for heavy industry and arms industry in the next five years. These two areas have a large amount of coal and iron ore, which is convenient for factories to obtain local materials. Moreover, they are areas where Beiyang has been controlled for a long time and the industrial system is relatively complete. , here, at least a little adjustment and expansion will be enough. Anshan, Shenyang and other places will serve as important industrial bases and material transfer centers, while the Heilongjiang area will serve as an important material reserve and supply base for front-line troops."

Since the northern waters are already safe, even if the Russians still maintain part of their naval power in Muroran Port, they will not be able to pose a serious threat to the more powerful Chinese Navy. Therefore, Xu Jie decided to convert some northern military ports into dual-use military and civilian ports to facilitate the transportation of supplies from the north and the south. Communicate to increase the material handling capacity of ports around the Bohai Bay and create good opportunities for the next step of industrial development.

..

For the south, the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan regions and Jiangsu will be China's second important industrial base. Among them, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan have been run by Liu Mingchuan for 5 years. Zhang Zhidong also has some assets in Hubei, although the efficiency of the latter Very low, but it can be integrated. The industry here will be mainly shipbuilding and light industry.

Needless to say, shipbuilding. The largest shipyard in the Republic of China in later generations was the Jiangnan Shipyard on Changxing Island in Shanghai! Since the Changxing Island Shipyard in later generations has the ability to build aircraft carriers, Xu Jie naturally does not mind building the largest shipyard in China in Shanghai. Although Dalian is good, its production capacity is limited. Xu Jie needs not only warships, but also a large number of civilian ships. For a long time, China did not have the financial resources to build a transportation network across the country, so Xu Jie Shipping must be placed in a very important position!

If heavy industry is a symbol of a country's strength and the basis for a country to resist foreign enemies, then light industry is a country's money bag. If people want to improve their living standards and enjoy better material life, then light industry must be developed. Good Various textile industries in the south are relatively developed. If industrialization is introduced on this basis, good results will inevitably be achieved. Therefore, Fujian, Zhejiang, Taiwan and Jiangsu and Shanghai will become the money bag and important shipbuilding base for China's future development!

The Guangdong and Guangxi regions, as the earliest regions in China to open up, have relatively good basic conditions. The first special economic zones of the later republics also started in Guangdong and Guangxi. People in Guangdong and Guangxi generally like to go out to explore, and overseas Chinese also invest in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Therefore, Guangdong and Guangxi will develop as an important area for China's international trade in the future. Finance and foreign trade will become the main body. And the industry will also take this as the core. Of course, the shipbuilding industry must also be developed. Without the industry that connects the north and the south, Before the system was formed, shipping was necessary.

In addition to the above three major regions, Xu Jie must also develop industries in Lanzhou and Sichuan. As a central region, although they do not have sea routes to communicate like the eastern region, physical distance and complex terrain hinder them from communicating with other regions.

exchanges, but the radiating and leading role of these two regions is not small. Xu Jie's requirements for these regions are very simple. Self-sufficiency is the most basic requirement. The industry should be mainly light industry, and heavy industry should be developed appropriately.

As for the Xinjiang area, the environment here is relatively complex, and the ethnic issues are serious. Zuo Zongtang’s efforts to pacify Xinjiang were actually not thorough. After the Russians failed in the Northeast, it is very likely that they will start to make plans for Xinjiang. But Xinjiang

The distance is long, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, so if you want to stabilize the situation in Xinjiang, then the Xinjiang area must have a certain hematopoietic ability. It is not necessary to make everything docile, but to stabilize the situation.

.so xin

Jiang's industry is also mainly military industry, but it focuses on weight rather than quality. At the same time, special light industries such as wool textiles are also developed to improve people's living standards and stabilize people's hearts.

The plan is a good idea, but it requires a lot of funds to be implemented. The civilian light industry can still be guided and supported by the government's policies, and private capital can be used to set up light industry. However, the funds required for heavy industry, arms manufacturing, and heavy chemical industry are only

If the government can raise it by itself, what should we do if we don’t have money? Then we can only borrow money. Directly seeking foreign loans is a good idea, but no matter which country the loan comes from, it is essentially a sugar-coated cannonball.

Therefore, Xu Jie tried his best not to seek help from foreign countries.

Fu borrows money, but puts the main direction of financing into the private sector. In fact, the private sector in the Qing Dynasty still has strong financial resources. This does not mean that the people in the Qing Dynasty are very lucky, but that the Chinese like to save money for emergencies. This kind of

Prudent financial management has allowed the public to have a large amount of liquidity, so how to use this fund has become a top priority. What is the most attractive thing to the public at present? That is of course land! When you travel to Guandong, to a large extent

It is because of the lack of land resources in the Zhili area of ​​Shandong.

And the Northeastern Armed Guards happened to have acquired a large amount of land from Russia. If these lands were sold, they would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of funds. On the other hand, ordinary people are concerned about security. If the government can establish a pension insurance similar to that for future generations.

, then some funds from the private sector can also be pooled for operation, and considerable funds can be obtained from these two tasks alone.

What to do if there is not enough left? Xu Jie has also thought about it. Issue bonds in the financial markets of London, Paris and the United States. And they are linked to huge orders. China's national power is poor and weak. If you want to rely on your own strength, you can quickly do it in a short time.

It is really difficult to develop. Therefore, it is necessary to import a large amount of foreign equipment and technology. Do you want to come in? Of course you can, but in addition to having excellent quality, you also need to "show your goodwill." And this goodwill is to buy Huaxia Zhengfu.

bonds.

In this way, the basic industrial plan has been basically finalized, and what is left is to be implemented. Before implementation, it is necessary to communicate with old people like Li Hongzhang. In order to start work as soon as possible, Xu Jie urgently hopes to communicate with the Russians

negotiations can be resolved as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
