I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Nanchang must occupy a place. After all, Nanchang is the most important city in central China, which can radiate and affect a large area around it. Moreover, Nanchang has a large population and a large number of talents, and has sufficient development potential.

As long as we give some policy, technology, and financial support, Nanchang will soon develop..."

Liu Shijin belonged to the Gan Party, but he did not avoid suspicion and directly recommended Nanchang.

After all, Nanchang is exactly what he said.

If Nanchang is listed as one of them, everyone has no opinion.

The problem is that Liu Shijin is not only fighting for Nanchang, he is also fighting for Jiujiang.

This made it impossible for other people to agree. There are only ten places in total, and Jiangxi province wants to occupy two, which is too much.

"Master Liu, why don't you support Ji'an and Ganzhou?"

Zhao Mingchong complained.

"Don't think about it, Mr. Liu, Jiangxi has only one place. Nanchang or Jiujiang, you choose one."

Other cabinet ministers expressed their opinions and suppressed Liu Shijin together.

"Everyone, can you be less selfish when discussing, otherwise the results of our discussions will definitely be criticized by His Majesty. No matter what, Wuhan will definitely occupy a place."

Hong Chengchou reminded.

Right now, Liu Shijin is off to a bad start, desperate to fight for his hometown or the interest groups behind him.

If everyone is like this, the result of the fight will definitely not be able to satisfy Wu Changqing.

Because there is no minister representing Wuhan's interests in the current cabinet, Wuhan will definitely lose the election.

The importance of Wuhan is self-evident. It must not be left behind. It must not make outrageous decisions because of party disputes and make the emperor angry.

"Yes, on a case-by-case basis, Zhengzhou must also occupy a place. Zhengzhou is located in the center of the Central Plains, and next to Kaifeng, Luoyang. It has a large population and is also very rich in coal and other mines."

"Tianjin must also occupy a place. It has canals, ports, and convenient transportation. There are also minerals in the surrounding area, and it is close to Beijing. It has a certain historical and cultural heritage. The most important thing is that the north needs a city that can drive the surrounding area."

......

Because of Hong Chengchou's reminder, the discussion that followed was much more rational.

Everyone knows that Wu Changqing doesn't like party disputes, or that he doesn't like delaying things because of party disputes, so he doesn't dare to fight too hard, and he almost has to compromise.

Qian Taoli and the crowd are the only ones who are fighting fiercely. Qian Taoli is from the Zhejiang Party. He said that he wants two places, namely Hangzhou and Ningbo.

The crowd did not agree, but Qian Taoli was arguing against the Confucian scholars, expounding the necessity of key development in these two places.

Needless to say, Hangzhou is an ancient city with a profound heritage. In terms of transportation, there is already a direct railway to Shanghai, and water transportation is also developed.

The place where everyone is controversial is Ningbo. Ningbo's heritage is actually very rich. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was the landing port designated by the envoys of overseas vassal states.

The business atmosphere here is very strong and the conditions are also very good.

In addition to the huge advantages of the port city now, it is not too much to be proposed by Qian Taoli here.

But the reality is that, no matter whether what Qian Taoli said makes sense, anyway, Zhejiang will occupy two places at once, and others will not agree.

Zhejiang wants to take all the benefits, but there is no door.

In the end, after a multi-party game, the first batch of supported cities were released.

They are Wuhan, Nanchang, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Jinan, Tianjin, Changsha, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Xi'an.

Save one by one, this is the most fair.

Qian Taoli played a clever trick and left the only place to Ningbo instead of Hangzhou, which has greater potential for development.

The reason is that the development of Hangzhou is already good. It is close to Shanghai, even if there is no support, it can still develop.

Therefore, Qian Taoli gave Ningbo the quota, and wanted Zhejiang to cultivate two economic centers of gravity.

These selected cities all have great potential for development, and those without development potential cannot be supported. Dahua is not yet rich to that level.

The list was presented to Wu Changqing. Wu Changqing read it and approved it without too many problems.

These cities, in the next few years, can receive two million yuan of financial allocation each year, and enjoy some preferential policies at the same time.

For example, a factory in an industrial zone in a supported city can enjoy a certain amount of tax relief.

Industry in those cities failed to develop, mainly because it was not cost-effective to build factories there.

With the tax cut policy, it will naturally attract some people to set up factories in those places.

As long as the industrial zone has a certain scale, the benefits of the industrial chain can be formed and production costs can be reduced.

Compared with Nanjing, these places also have their own advantages.

For example, for the minerals in Pingxiang, the freight required to transport them to a factory in Nanjing is much higher than that of Nanchang.

For another example, when recruiting workers in Nanchang, the wages of workers will be much lower than those in Nanjing.

After all, there are many factories in Nanjing, and workers have more choices. Some factories have to improve the treatment of workers in order to compete.

And in the wild industrial wasteland of Nanchang, it is very difficult for people to make some money.

As long as there are factories, no matter how low the wages are, there will be people working there, as long as it is more profitable than farming.

In addition to financial support, another important support is technology.

in those cities that are supported

Enterprises that set up factories can report directly to the court what technology they need, and the court will help solve it.

What kind of technical talents are needed, the court will also find a way to make unified scheduling.

Centralization is good for this. Students in technical schools can be uniformly arranged for a reasonable distribution.

If those people were allowed to choose freely, they would definitely only be willing to stay in Nanjing and Shanghai.

At that time, there will be a surplus of skilled workers in Nanjing and Shanghai, and a shortage of talent elsewhere.

Now the imperial court makes semi-mandatory arrangements for these people, which can solve this problem very well.
