Chapter 1314

No one in Wuhu County does not understand its influence in the entire empire. Although there are only six prefectures, the land area of ​​Wuhu County is the largest in the empire, which is much larger than Jiangnan County, which has seven prefectures. It is one thing that the vast territory of the six prefectures is all fertile grain fields, rice and rapeseed production far exceeds any county, and even wheat production also occupies an important position in the empire. Based on grain output alone, Wuhu County can account for more than a quarter of the total grain output of the Tanghe Empire. If we calculate surplus grain, more than 70% of the reserved grain of the entire empire comes from Wuhu.

However, this situation has changed after joining the Northern Luzon, Myanmar County and Peninsula. The central area of ​​Northern Luzon, northern Myanmar County, northern Zhongnan County, and eastern Nanhai Autonomous Territory have gradually developed into important rice-producing areas, which has caused the proportion of grain production in the Wuhu area to slightly decrease, but this is not enough to shake the Wuhu County's status in the new empire. Because the Wuhu area has unique geographical advantages, in addition to the passing of a large river, more importantly, there are a large number of freshwater lakes in almost every prefecture in the Wuhu area.

Most lakes are connected to the water system of the river and its tributaries, and become natural valves for regulating the water volume of rivers. They can be used as flood discharge reservoirs in floods, and in droughts, they play the role of reservoirs. Therefore, Wufeng has always hoped to build the Five Lakes into a stable granary that is not affected by the climate. Of course, this requires large-scale investment in water conservancy basic construction, but considering that if such a granary that can meet the needs of the entire empire can be obtained so that the empire will no longer be affected by the flood, drought and locust plague, Wufeng feels that even the investment is large, it is worth it.

It was Wufeng's intention that made Su Minshun burn two fires as soon as he took office. One fire naturally encouraged the development of industry and commerce. Without developed industry and commerce, the economy of Wuhu County could only stay in the agricultural economy and could only wander among second-rate counties and provinces. This was something that Su Minshun, a top student in economics at Imperial University, could not accept.

With the strong agricultural foundation in the Wuhu area, the development of agricultural product processing and industry and commerce related to cash crops should have the advantage of being close to the water. Su Minshun did not expect that the Wuhu industry and commerce could surpass the Jiangnan East China Sea at once. However, relying on abundant products and good waterway transportation, Su Minshun believed that the industry and commerce in the Wuhu area could take a big step forward.

Another fire naturally means that the grain and oil production in the Wuhu area should not only surpass the glory of the Tanghe Empire period, but also build each of the Wuhu and six prefectures into a distinctive agricultural prefecture, which can ensure the harvest of drought and flood in the face of any natural disaster. At this point, not only does the governments in the Wuhu area need to invest large amounts in water conservancy basic construction, but also huge investment from the central government. The Xijiang Government Affairs Office has unprecedented consensus on this point. Whether it is Xiao Tang, Su Qin, or James, he will never be stingy about the investment in vigorously building farmland water conservancy basic construction in the Wuhu area, and he will almost allocate as much as he wants. He will build Wuhu into a veritable imperial granary within two to three years.

Since the November winter idle period began, the entire Wuhu County set off a climax of basic construction of farmland water conservancy. The entire Wuhu County almost became a boiling construction site. From Huanggang to Baling, from Jiujiang to Wenning, almost every prefecture has one or two large-scale water conservancy construction projects determined by the Government Affairs Bureau have started construction. As for the construction of basic water conservancy facilities at the government level, there are many people in the Wuhu area. Even officials in the government have gone to the front-line construction sites under the strict supervision of the new governor, and supervised the quality and progress of the project in the cold wind. You must know that although the funds allocated from the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Bureau are refreshing, the supervisors of the Western Xinjiang Supervision Bureau are even more eye-catching. If there is any corruption, they will immediately be caught by them. If you don’t peel off a layer of skin, you will never give up.

Su Minshun of the Five Lakes was swearing to chase Jiangnan. Isn’t this the case in the East China Sea? He was originally the governor of the East China Sea one step slower than Wang Su and the other two. When he saw Wang Zongxi in Jiangnan, Su Minshun was working on the two-pronged approach of the Five Lakes. Lu Man’s yellow hair was so anxious that he was about to turn white. It turned out that among the top ten counties of the Tanghe Empire, Donghai was always the second child, with Jiangnan squeezed above and Wuhu pressed down step by step below, but the second child was not so easy to sit.

The poison suffered by the East China Sea is more serious than that of Jiangnan. In addition, Liang Chongxin launched an innocence movement in the East China Sea. Although it did not reach the point where everyone was in danger, it inevitably had a certain negative impact on the industrial and commercial community in the East China Sea. No one would have the heart to operate and develop when their lives and property were not guaranteed to be safeguarded by the security of their lives and property. Lu Man almost announced that he would remove military control and restore normal management order as soon as he took office.

Luman even visited several industrial and commercial families with considerable influence in the East China Sea as soon as possible. While announcing his goals after taking office, he also introduced a series of economic development policies. The central government did not give the Governor's specific service office at the level, but gave the Governor's Office a considerable power to determine the development direction of the whole county, formulate development plans in all aspects of the county, and guide the economic development of the county and the government. This is the Governor's responsibility.

Compared with the macroscopic development plan of Jiangnan and Wuhu, Luman took the initiative to invite the Donghai Five Prefectures City and the industrial and commercial gentry celebrities from various prefectures to conduct a detailed and detailed discussion meeting to discuss how to formulate a practical development plan so that the Donghai can get rid of the shadow of Situ Tai's reign as soon as possible, get rid of the impact of war on the East China Sea, and regain the vitality of the East China Sea economy. It should be said that Luman's method has achieved quite good results, not only effectively eliminating the bad influence of Situ Tai's reign and the impact of the Innocence Movement, but also greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the Donghai industrial and commercial gentry class.

As we all know, the new Governor of the East China Sea is an old subordinate of His Highness Qin. He was once a capable subordinate of His Highness Qin when he was in the city guard. Later, under the arrangement of His Highness Qin, he also left the army and entered politics. From guarding Shuangdui City to Governor of Myanmar County, he became Governor of the East China Sea. Not only did he have great achievements, but more importantly, he was able to represent His Highness Qin's attitude to a large extent. Being able to have this Governor of the Shangtongtian Court sit in the East China Sea is undoubtedly a great emphasis on the East China Sea and a lucky luck to the East China Sea. With this mind in it, why would the East China Sea industry and commercial gentry not do their best to make suggestions and wave the flag and shout with all their heart?

Luman quickly determined a series of development strategies. Jinling focused on financial industry, handicraft manufacturing, jewelry industry and salt manufacturing industry, Dengzhou focused on shipbuilding, shipping, and ocean trade, Pengcheng, Luyang and Jeju focused on iron smelting, cotton textiles and agriculture, and coastal areas mainly developed fishing and pearl farming industry, taking into account their respective characteristics, striving to use Jinling to drive the economies of the other four governments, develop the inland shipping industry along the Fanjiang River and the canal, and create an economic circle belonging to the East China Sea.

If Wang Zongxi sounded a gong in Jiangnan, then Su Minshun burned two fires in the five lakes, while Lu Man sowed sparks everywhere in the five prefectures of the East China Sea. Once the time is ripe, it will be a prairie fire. Who can make his territory the best among the new empires? It will only be clear after a few years. Now it is still far from the harvest season.

Of course, the entire empire's domestic industry is not just competition among these three counties. No one who can ascend to the position of governor of a county is a mediocre talent. Even if a city guard is a guard, they are all the dragons among the people. Zhong Wenjing of the South China Sea, He Jing of Heshuo, Mu Haoran of Sanjiang, and Zhou Tinggui of Dongtengri, each of them is committed to using this period of peace to show their talents in their territory. In peace, if you want to witness the ability of parents and officials in a place, the only criterion is the living standards of the people and the economic development status in the territory. Both complement each other and are indispensable. This is the classic statement made by Wufeng when he listened to the report of the work of the Government Affairs Bureau. It is also the only criterion for evaluating the governors and city guards in various places.

It should be said that after the overall situation of the empire was settled and Wufeng entered the capital to ascend the throne, it was the time when local officials in various places worked hardest. A new empire was about to be established. What kind of political achievements should local officials in various places prove themselves to His Majesty the Emperor? In the words of His Highness the King of Qin, this is the best gift to congratulate him. As for this, who can still understand the thoughts of His Highness the King of Qin? His Highness the King of Qin wants to judge heroes based on political achievements.

"Birth?" Wu Feng rubbed his hands quickly and paced around the room. When he saw the maid coming out of the room, he asked quickly with a smile on his face.

"Report to Your Highness, Miss Daiyue gave birth to a princess, and the mother and daughter were safe." The maid's answer made Wufeng feel a little disappointed and relaxed. Finally, she gave birth to a child. Regardless of the man and woman, at least she also responded to the ministers who had been worried about her childbirth. As for when she could sow seeds on several concubines who had already identified their identities, it depends on the opportunity.
