Two Maybach-imitation China Dragon brand bulletproof cars drove out of Tangshan one after another. Chang Ruiqing and Guan Gao were speeding on the road leading to Nanjing City. The owners of these two luxury cars were Chang Ruiqing, the current Prime Minister of the Federation of Greater China, and However, the back seat of Zhou Elai's car that was driving behind him was empty. It turned out that when Dean Zhou left the Tangshan official residence after today's enlarged meeting of the Politburo, he was Premier Chang Da got into his car
Today's enlarged meeting of the Politburo has a certain meaning of a tea party discussion. In the end, no resolution was formed. The content that was not discussed was extremely rich, involving almost every aspect of China's economic development after the war. However, there is only one core, which is Urbanization! And the core of urbanization is metropolitanization! Chang Ruiqing seems to have pinned China's future modernization on the construction of the eight metropolitan areas. Regarding this, all the big bosses in China G are doubtful, and even hold opposite opinions. So after finally reaching a consensus on the issue of "rural land concentration" , there were certain differences among the top leaders of China G on the issue of "metropolitanization". Chang Ruiqing was on his way to Nanjing with Zhou Elai to visit the Chairman of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek, on the issue of "metropolitanization". , and further exchange of views
Outside the car window, there is a series of busy construction scenes, with construction sites that have just started everywhere. Nanjing now has three major centers. One is the old city with the old city of Nanjing as the core, which actually also includes the large new area outside the city wall of Nanjing; The new city is centered on Tangshan Administrative District; one is the industrial zone north of the Yangtze River. Before the war, these three areas were basically disconnected from each other, just like three cities. However, after the war started, Tangshan New City and Nanjing Old City The large tracts of land between them were acquired by the federal government in the name of war preparation construction, but they have been abandoned there and no one cares about them. It is only in recent months that companies have purchased the land on both sides of the "Tangnan Highway" to build houses. Needless to say, it must be It is because some consortiums with good noses have already smelled the great urban development of Nanjing after the war.
Chang Ruiqing withdrew his gaze from a construction site where foundations were being dug next to the highway, smiled and said to Zhou Elai beside him: "It seems that the construction of Nanjing City has begun, not only on the wasteland between Tang and Nanjing Some people are building bungalows, and some people are also interested in the wasteland around the industrial zone in Jiangbei. I wonder if they plan to build apartments that will be sold to the working class This is a good thing, for the workers and workers' families in Jiangbei Industrial Zone There are millions of people, and the housing problem really needs to be solved Xiangyu, do you think it will be possible to turn the area around Nanjing into an urban agglomeration with tens of millions of people in the future?"
Zhou Elai beside him kept frowning and seemed to be thinking hard: "Prime Minister, if you have this determination, I believe you can achieve your goal. However, if the eight metropolitan urban agglomerations include the entire country's urban population, If 70% of them are attracted, I¡¯m afraid other cities in the federation will become very depressed, which may cause uneven regional development, right?¡±
Chang Ruiqing smiled and said: "Isn't this the result I want? Concentrating the human, financial and material resources of the entire federation into eight city clusters in mainland China is, in my opinion, a necessary means to maintain the long-term unity of the federation. The truth is I have said it many times, brother Xiangyu must have understood it."
"Then other parts of the federation will not develop?" Zhou Elai asked with a frown.
Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said: "Of course other places also need to develop, but they cannot get federal financial support." He paused and said: "The eight major cities used federal financial resources to build cities and used the second land reform to discover land exchange coupons. Opportunities accelerate the gathering of people, property and materials, which is counterproductive. If it is to be spread across the entire federation, the money in the government's pockets will not be enough to spend, and there will definitely be a lot of waste of investment. Therefore, the development of other cities in the federation can only rely on industry. The road of gradual development cannot be like the leap forward development of the eight metropolises. In fact, the construction of the eight metropolises is also gradual. The first phase of the plan is only 35,000 square kilometers. Should we start the second phase, which is the urban agglomeration? Development also depends on the situation
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT TO Develop Super Metropolises, Medium-sized Cities, or Small Towns? It mainly depends on market demand and where citizens are willing to live. Rather than where do we, the politicians, want them to live? In fact, politicians often think based on political interests and follow their butts. They often prevent the towns they are in charge of from gaining opportunities for great development and do not want people and property to drain away from the areas they are in charge of. This is understandable. But how to retain people, property, and develop their places is their own business. The federal government cannot help, but it will not set up any obstacles to prevent localities from developing their own cities. The federal government only uses its own financial resources to develop the eight metropolitan areas, because we The Prime Minister of the Federal Cabinet believes that the eight major cities are the dreams of most young people in the Federation, and I will try my best to give them a chance to realize their dreams."Chang Ruiqing knew that his words must be disagreed with by many people in the Chinese Communist Party. In the minds of some people, the dream of the youth of the Greater China Federation was to accept the poverty-stricken people in rural areas, a vast place where they could make a big difference. Chang Ruiqing, a lower-middle peasant, has been a young man for at least several decades and has come into contact with countless young people. However, he has never seen a master who wants to go to the mountains and countryside to fight in heaven and earth. Instead, he has seen many people who have sharpened their heads and thought. A young man who squeezed into a big city and stayed in a big city, but his dreams were shattered by the sky-high housing prices in the big cities and the household registration system that was even more difficult to overcome than the housing prices. At the same time, he had also witnessed the spectacular sight of empty cities popping up everywhere in China. On the one hand, he was in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The suburbs of the five major cities are still quite empty, and there are still many lands under red line protection that are not allowed to be built and sold to citizens who want to squeeze into the big cities or who have lived in the big cities for n years; on the one hand, there are places where no one wants to go. The expansion of remote cities and the construction of new cities have turned countless farmlands into empty cities.
Of course, it is difficult for such urbanization to occur in the current Federation of Greater China. After all, local governments have limited financial resources, and fiscal expenditures are restricted by local councils. It is difficult to make big undertakings, and the large areas in the eastern region of the Federation are Part of the land is privately owned. The main connection between land and finance is real estate tax (industrial, commercial and residential land) and land tax. Therefore, relying on the financial resources of local governments, even if they want to carry out urban construction, they will not be able to achieve it unless they really do. Only with industrial support can we drive urban development
Zhou Elai was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally nodded and said: "Prime Minister the party will support you no matter what. The 'second land reform bill' and the 'eight metropolitan construction bills' will definitely be supported by all party members." support"
Chang Ruiqing also nodded with satisfaction. Since the Federation of Greater China has taken the wrong path of democratic constitutionalism, he, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, must always communicate with the members of the Senate and the Senate to gain their support before he can implement his own policies. There will be some political games and transactions. The same is true for the implementation of the "second land reform" this time. On the one hand, it threatened to dissolve parliament and hold a new election; on the other hand, it used various methods to persuade and persuade Mao, Chen Duxiu and Zeng Qi and others went to the United States to inspect agriculture; they finally agreed to support the Moshav-style collective farm pilot proposed by Mao D, and expressed to Zhou Elai that they would not set up any obstacles to urban development outside the eight major cities. Finally, they finally achieved success within China As for the Kuomintang, although Chiang Kai-shek has expressed his support for the second land reform, he still has to go to the Kuomintang in person to listen to the Kuomintang¡¯s opinions on the specific implementation details of the second land reform bill and the eight major metropolitan construction projects to show his support for the opposition party. respect (to be continued
