Chapter 98 Inspection (3)
The last stop of Qin Zheng's inspection was Jinzhou, because Jinzhou was not along the Middle East Railway and could only be used as the last stop.
Jinzhou is the gateway to the Northeast, and its strategic position is very important. Now East China is at the southernmost frontier of the Northeast region. In fact, the frontier positions of the People's Army have been pushed to Suizhong, which is only less than 60 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan. The Jinchen Railway, which is under construction, is based on Suizhong County, which is also to prepare for the future railway connection within the pass. At the same time, after the East China ** has started war against the Qing court, it is also convenient for the Northeast Military Region to transport troops to the pass.
In addition, Jinzhou is connected to Chifeng, which penetrates deep into Mongolia, which is the rear of the East China ** deep into Mongolia. Therefore, for East China **, Jinzhou's strategic position is very important. After the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, Jinzhou was stationed with a division of troops.
Moreover, Gao Jin, who is now the mayor of Jinzhou, is also a young cadre focused on training in East China, so he is also valued by Qin Zheng.
After Qin Zheng arrived in Jinzhou, he first listened to Gao Jin's report on his work. In fact, there were documents and reports on the situation in Jinzhou every day. Therefore, Qin Zheng knew the general situation. Listening to Gao Jin's report mainly wanted to understand the operating conditions of the Mongolian region occupied by East China.
It should be said that Gao Jin does have considerable local governance capabilities. Although he is only a mayor for 5 or 6 months, the first two months were during the war, he is still very successful in the Jinzhou area. Now the social stability and commerce are prosperous and developed in the entire Jinzhou area. In addition, the construction of several industrial projects has shown a prosperous scene.
Of course, before Gao Jin took office, the Jinzhou area had restored order and social production, and it was on a key road to transportation, with a good foundation, but within a few months, the new changes in Jinzhou were also inseparable from Gao Jin's governance.
Jinzhou is located at the key point of the Liaoxi Corridor, connecting the inside and outside the pass, and has always been prosperous in business. After Gao Jin took office, he focused on simplifying commercial procedures, improving the service level of **, and creating convenient conditions for commercial circulation. Of course, Gao Jin also knew that the economic potential of the land circulation on land was not great, because the East China ** and the Qing court are in hostile relations. Although the economic exchanges inside and outside the pass have not been cut off, it is basically impossible to expand further.
However, Jinzhou's geographical advantage is not only the land dismantling and rushing roads, but also the convenience of maritime transportation. Although it is only the Neiwan port, it also has great prospects for development. In the early stage of the Far East War, East China ** built the Huludao Port, which can now be parked with a 5,000-ton cargo ship and built a road from Huludao Port to Jinzhou area.
Therefore, Gao Jin also made full use of Huludao Port to vigorously develop maritime trade, and successively opened the Jinzhou-Tianjin; Jinzhou-Yantai; Jinzhou-Lushun and other maritime trade routes, and also cylindrical port inspections, approval procedures, etc., which led to a rapid increase in Jinzhou's maritime trade.
At the same time, the construction of Jinchen Railway, as well as the construction of Jinzhou local power plants, cement plants and other projects has also stimulated the demand of a considerable number of local areas. Gao Jin also actively provided grain, cloth, some building materials and daily necessities to these projects, which can not only meet the needs of each project, but also increase income for the people of villages and towns, and further stimulate the development of the consumer economy.
Finally, another point is that after the People's Army captured Chifeng, Jinzhou purchased cattle, sheep, fur and other products from the Mongolian grasslands, and transferred them from Huludao Port and sold them to Tianjin, Yantai, Lushun and other places, which not only increased Jinzhou's fiscal revenue, but also increased the income of grassland herders, and increased their recognition and sense of belonging to East China **.
These measures have indeed greatly stimulated the economic development of Jinzhou area, increased the income of the local people, and increased the tax revenue of the **. Although the positive effects of these measures have just begun and some are not obvious, we can foresee that in this year, the local economy and industrialization level of Jinzhou will show a significant increase in the next few years. This also makes those who questioned Gao Jin's ability, as the official left over from the Qing court in the original Jinzhou area, have to admire that this woman is indeed not simple, no wonder she can take the important task of being the prefect of a local prefect.
Jinzhou area has always been mainly commerce, with relatively small proportion of agriculture, and not much land reform work, and it is not difficult. The real difficulty is how to deal with the herdsmen on the grassland, because the herdsmen make a living by grazing and have no land, but they are still strongly dependent on the Mongolian nobles. Therefore, the approach taken by East China is to directly suppress the Mongolian nobles with poor reputation and crimes, and distribute their pastures, houses, property, livestock, etc. to the herdsmen under their rule. For some Mongolian nobles with good reputation, few evil deeds, or no evil deeds, they are allowed to retain their houses and property. The pastures and livestock are subsidized and purchased, and they are also distributed to the herdsmen. Then they choose active members from the herdsmen to form grassroots administrative organizations based on production teams, and try their best to allocate pastors to the herdsmen evenly.
At the same time, Jinzhou City has organized merchants to purchase cattle, sheep, animal, fur, bone products, etc. from herders, and transport daily necessities needed by herders to the grassland and trade with herders. Whether it is the purchase price or the sale price, it is very fair. Moreover, due to the lack of the inter-hand relationship between Mongolian aristocrats, the herders' income has increased significantly, and they have their own cattle and sheep property, and their social status has also improved, and they are basically no longer bullied. Therefore, they are full of gratitude to the East China ** and their sense of belonging has also been greatly enhanced. At the same time, they have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with Mongolian issues in the past.
After listening to Gao Jin's report, Qin Zheng was also very satisfied and said, "Xiao Gao, you have worked hard these days to summarize the gains and losses of work in Mongolia, write it into a report, and send it back to Qingdao. After I go back, I will focus on the discussion in the Executive Yuan."
Gao Jin said: "Political Commissar, Mongolia's work has just begun now, and we are also exploring many of the work. Even if it has been done, it will take time to test the quality of these practices. This is a little too early to summarize. I think it will take at least one year to thoroughly test the success or failure of our work in Mongolia and then summarize. I have almost completed the phased work report. If you want to discuss it, you can discuss the phased work report first."
Qin Zheng nodded and smiled and said, "No, Xiao Gao, you can think like this, which means that your mind is still clear and you are not satisfied with the achievements you have achieved now. It's great!"
Gao Jin said: "We only occupy a large part of China now, I'm afraid there is not even 1/3, so what can I satisfy."
Qin Zheng said: "Okay, but since I'm here, I always have to go to the county below to see it. You said that it's best to go to that county."
Gao Jin smiled and said, "I dare not say that you can choose the county you want to go to. The six counties under Jinzhou City can choose that county, so as not to say that I am cheating and hide the bad places, so that you can only see the bright side."
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "You girl, fight me with this sloppy."
Gao Jin said: "That's right, is there still little in the old time and space? Since our group of people have come to this era and can start a new career, of course, the essence of the old time and space needs to be learned, but this set can only be considered a bad thing, so I'd better throw it away. Anyway, I don't like to do this set."
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, since you said that, I will choose one." As he said, he looked at the map and said, "Let's choose Chaoyang. This time I don't have time to go to Chifeng, so I will meet Ouyang Longxing in Chaoyang so that he will not run to Jinzhou again."
Gao Jin said: "Okay, but Chaoyang is not close. There is no railway connection, so the journey takes one day. I can only set off tomorrow morning. But don't worry, I promise not to say hello to Chaoyang County ** in advance, so that you will definitely see the normal state of Chaoyang County."
Qin Zheng thought about it, shook his head, and said, "Tomorrow I want to go and see the Jinshen Railway project. It is a project of the Second Five-Year Plan. By the way, Zhan Tianyou is still here now. I haven't seen him for almost 3 years."
Gao Jin said: "Yes, I am here to preside over the Jinshen Railway project. He has been here for almost a month, but except for the first day when he lived in the guesthouse we arranged for him in Jinzhou, he has been living at the construction site. I went to the construction site to see him a few times and advised him to come back to Jinzhou City. He didn't listen. He could only try to arrange for him to live better at the construction site. He is really a practical person. No wonder his deeds were included in our primary school textbooks in the old time and space. If you want to see him, you can only go to the construction site."
Qin Zheng said: "Yes, he is just such a person. When he was building the Shandong Railway in Shandong, it was the same. I always met him at the construction site. Unfortunately, in this era, there were too few people like Zhan Tianyou who could do practical things, and the stage provided by old China to Zhan Tianyou was indeed too small. In fact, with Zhan Tianyou's talent, if he was in a country with developed industrial conditions, he could achieve greater achievements."
Gao Jin said: "But now we can provide him with a big stage so that he can fully play, right?"
Qin Zheng nodded again and said, "Yes, I should go to the construction site to see him, and follow the way to see how the five small industrial projects in several places in Jinzhou are doing."
