Chapter 2918

"If we can invest the required resources locally, we can replicate Changhua in Liaodong within three to five years, and there is no need to transport coal across the sea. The production cost can be lower than that of Changhua. The local steel production capacity is completely

It can meet the development needs of the northern region in the future, and the speed of industrialization will far exceed that of Fujian, Guangzhou and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. I don’t need to explain in detail what benefits this will bring to our country."

Bai Kesi pointed out the importance of the Liaodong industrial base, and then brought the topic back to the focus of everyone's attention: "But to realize the industrialization of the northern region, we must first solve the population problem. To be honest, I think the Ming Dynasty is indeed

The most appropriate goal at present, as for what means to use to achieve the goal, this is not a question that requires too much time to discuss."

Ning Qi said: "But we cannot completely ignore the risks of doing so, especially the possibility of another war."

Baikes said: "With all due respect, all of us here together may not be able to compare with the garrison headquarters of the Northern Region in terms of assessment of war risks."

Yan Chujie agreed: "It's true. In the past ten years or so, Chen Yixin has spent much more time dealing with the senior management of Ming Dynasty than we have. In terms of his understanding of the senior management of Da Ming Dynasty, he is indeed better than us.

People who stay in Sanya are much better and know how to deal with people in Beijing."

Tao Donglai asked: "Did Chen Yixin come up with a feasible plan?"

Bai Kesi talked for a long time, but still couldn't get around it, so he had to explain patiently: "Chen Yixin's plan is to introduce immigrants from Shandong. You should also know that he has close ties with King De of Jinan Prefecture. Through King De,

The channel opened up many upper-level connections. So he planned to use local government agencies to come forward and attract immigrants from all over Shandong in the name of recruiting labor."

After Bai Kesi's reminder, everyone remembered one thing. The two young princes of Shandong Dewang Palace successfully passed the imperial examinations held by Donghai Region and Northern Region last year. Now, one is in Hangzhou and the other is in Liaodong, and they have both entered.

Haihan served in the officialdom, and this matter is already known to everyone.

However, such a big thing happened in Prince De's palace, but he was never punished by the Ming court for it. It was probably because of the support of the Northern Region that the Ming court turned a blind eye to his acts that were tantamount to treason.

To say that these two young princes have any extraordinary abilities, it is not necessarily true. Everyone knows that this is not a selection of talents in the traditional sense, but a special road laid by the Northern Region for Prince De's Mansion to join the new dynasty.

Channel. Of course, this move may still have the purpose of showing off to other onlookers. With the generous treatment from Prince De's Palace, there will naturally be many imitators who will follow and join Haihan.

Prince De's reciprocation also contributed to Chen Yixin's efforts to open up upper-level connections. As for whether these connections can be used to recruit immigrants, it may depend on the specific operation methods of the Northern Region. But since Chen Yixin has already advised Bai Kesi on this

After explaining it, I must be somewhat confident.

"As long as the Ming court is not blind, it should be difficult to hide Shandong's operation, right?" Tao Donglai still had doubts about this.

Thousands of people moved out of their residences in a short period of time and crossed the sea to settle in territories controlled by foreign countries. No matter how well organized they were, it would be difficult to hide it from the Ming court and prevent it from being discovered. And if the Ming court issued an order to stop this matter,

, it may be difficult to say whether the Shandong government has the courage to follow up and confront them.

Bai Kesi said: "Old Tao, you underestimate the ability of local powerful people to cause trouble. During my inspection in Laizhou this time, I also met people from Prince De's Mansion. It is said that Ming Ting knew about the connection between Prince De's Mansion and our country, and has already

An edict was issued to punish the sins of Prince De's Mansion. As a result, the eunuch who went to Jinan Mansion to issue the edict died unexpectedly on the way, and the edict disappeared. In the end, the matter seemed to have been settled, and there was no further investigation in the capital."

Tao Donglai sighed: "This matter...couldn't it be Chen Yixin who intervened?"

Bai Kesi smiled and said: "Who knows? I didn't ask too much. If I asked him, he might not tell the truth. Ming Ting doesn't pursue the truth anymore, so why would I want to ask about the inside story? I said it before, the key is to be able to

To get things done, it doesn’t matter what means you use. It’s not Sanya. If everything has to follow rules and procedures, then nothing may be done.”

Some participants believed this, while others did not agree with Bai Kesi’s overly practical attitude. However, Bai Kesi did not want to defend this. After all, some people had been waiting to give orders in the Sanya environment for a long time and did not understand the difficulties of doing things locally.

.

Tao Donglai pondered: "Then what does Chen Yixin need the executive committee to do?"

Bai Kesi said: "Chen Yixin means that the population problem is left to the Northern Region to solve, but the executive committee should not interfere too much with the methods they use. If there is any trouble, the Northern Region will try to solve it on its own. But the local area

Developing industry requires more technical support from the Executive Committee. Chen Yixin made a list. If you are interested in listening to it, I will read it over."

The demand list issued by Chen Yixin includes a large number of mechanical equipment for mining, smelting, and transportation, as well as as many as a thousand engineering and technical personnel. Judging from the contents of this list, it is indeed equivalent to copying another

Changhua Industrial Base.

"Support is no problem, but we don't have that much ready-made equipment to deliver to the Northern Region, right?" After listening to the contents of the list, Tao Donglai asked subconsciously.

Bai Kesi said: "Part of it can be replaced with old equipment from other regions, and then we can only wait for it to be manufactured here in Sanya. What we can do is probably just give priority to manufacturing some equipment that Liaodong urgently needs.

Let orders from other places wait for a while."

"If we do this, there may be complaints from other places." Tao Donglai listened to what he said and could roughly think of the places that would be affected.

Bai Kesi said: "The problem is not big, and coordination should be able to solve it. The real trouble is the engineering and technical personnel. If so many people are deployed to support Liaodong, it is likely to affect the normal operation of the original unit."

Training technical personnel is much slower than manufacturing equipment. A qualified technical personnel must not only have a certain cultural knowledge base, but also often need to receive several years of professional training before they can be qualified. Even Haihan has been committed to training people in various fields.

Professional and technical personnel, but they are still far from keeping up with their own development needs. The Northern Region requested thousands of people as soon as it opened its mouth. This is not as simple as recruiting immigrants, and it is enough to give the Ministry of Industry a headache.
