Hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone inside and outside Guandi Temple was stunned.
Establish a special zone? Let outsiders go to the beach to build a new city?
Li Zhi nodded and said: "This special zone new city is built on uninhabited saline-alkali land. Everyone has moved in from other places, and there is no distinction between locals and outsiders. The slogan of this special zone is called 'Beizhen people come here'
'!"
Li Zhi's current plan to build a special zone new city actually came into being.
Through Li Zhi's catalysis, One Town and Nine Provinces have reached the early stage of the industrialization era. Under the protection of strict laws and patent systems, craftsmen are enthusiastic about technological innovation, and the entire society is on the eve of the industrial explosion. At this time, One Town
The nine provinces are very similar to China in the 1980s, facing an epic industrial development.
The development of industry is inevitably accompanied by the development of urbanization. The experience of later generations at home and abroad proves that in the next few decades, one town and nine provinces will rapidly enter the urban era, and most of the rural population will move from rural areas to cities and become citizens.
The problem between locals and outsiders in Jinghai County is actually a problem that arises in the process of urbanization. The tens of thousands of people who come to Jinghai County to work in Jinghai County from Shanxi and Beizhili appear to be outsiders, but in fact they move from agricultural areas to industrial areas.
new citizens.
However, in this unprecedented population flow process, various problems will inevitably arise. These problems have accumulated in various places and have turned into huge contradictions. In Jinghai, locals and outsiders have different opinions on the process of industrialization and urbanization.
Huge conflicts arose in the distribution of interests, which eventually intensified into armed fighting, and dozens of lives were lost in one fell swoop.
But Li Zhi knew that the large-scale industrial urbanization faced by one town and nine provinces in the future would be a hundred times more powerful than the small industry emerging in Jinghai now, and the contradictions arising from it would be a hundred times more intense. If Li Zhi could not properly handle the contradictions, the entire
Society may experience a huge upheaval.
Migrant workers in Jinghai County vented their hatred on Li Zhi's shrine because they were discriminated against, which shows the destructive power of this contradiction. If the number of migrant workers increases tenfold and the accumulated time of discrimination and contradiction increases by ten years, this trend will
How will hatred eventually break out?
The consequences will be very dire.
Therefore, Li Zhi must guide, pull out the source of the conflict, and solve the root cause of the conflict.
Building a new city to the north of Dagu Port is not only in line with the development of the industrial era and the wave of urbanization, but also can solve the contradiction between locals and outsiders.
It is unrealistic to build new cities in overseas colonies. The development of a city requires a large number of workers. Overseas colonies tens of thousands of miles away are sparsely populated and it is impossible to form large cities. Moreover, overseas colonies are far away from densely populated areas, and the transportation cost of goods is also higher than
Beizhen. It is uneconomical to transport raw materials overseas and then transport them back to Daming, the main place of consumption.
For example, the United States, a country with prosperous science and technology, has been an agricultural country for hundreds of years since its founding. Before its population reached a critical point, it was actually an agricultural country.
A successful new city must be located in Daming, a city with convenient transportation.
Li Zhi looked at the stunned people and said loudly: "We want to build a big city."
"There is a saying that goes well, a blank piece of paper is easy to draw on!"
"In the existing cities, although we have equalized land taxes and declared laws, those Confucian scholars with high social status, those officials and businessmen who used to rely on their relationship backgrounds to conduct business, and those clan groups that relied on private ethics to maintain still exist
.Although our culture of public morality is on the offensive, it is impossible to wipe out all these deep-rooted cultures and forces in one day."
"In existing cities, we have stepped into the industrial age, which is actually very difficult. Although industry is also developing, it will still be subject to various constraints."
"But in the new city of the special zone, we don't have these constraints. Everyone in the special zone is a newcomer. Those Confucian scholars who rely on their previous social status to influence the people will no longer be respected without the network of acquaintances. Those who rely on relationships to do business,
When profiteers who use conspiracy and tricks to operate their business arrive in a place full of strangers, their intrigues will not be able to come out at all. And those clan groups that rely on the protection of private morality will be completely disintegrated because the elderly are unable to move to the special zone."
"Because the new city is brand new, all the backward factors that restrict local development do not exist in the new city."
When the workers in Shanxi heard Li Zhi's words, they cheered up one by one.
The officials behind Li Zhi were also thoughtful.
Li Zhi pointed at the map and said loudly: "We will establish strict courts in Beizhen to ensure that Beizhen has a good legal environment. We will plan a port on the coast of Beizhen and connect the railway network between Beizhen and Tianjin.
, ensuring that Beizhen has complete infrastructure. We will also vigorously cultivate public ethics in Beizhen to ensure that we build a civilized new city and reduce the transaction costs of the entire city."
Hearing this sentence, the workers in Shanxi became happy.
The development of one town and nine provinces was most importantly catalyzed by the technology, legal system and public ethics ideas brought by Li Zhi. The people of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi and other places were also Han people, no worse than the locals in Jinghai County. Now Li Zhi has brought all the key elements
Bring them all to the New Town of the Special Economic Zone. Then there is no suspense about the development of Beizhen.
Li Zhi said, "When you come here, you are a Beizhen native." There is no difference between locals and outsiders. When outsiders go to Beizhen, they can feel proud and be the masters, and they are no longer just outsiders who rely on others.
The workers in Shanxi became more and more happy and excited every one of them.
Qiu Kedu said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise! As long as Beizhen City has its first road, I, Qiu Kedu, will buy him a patented production right from him! Go to Beizhen to set up a factory and start a business!"
The other Shanxi people all had tears in their eyes.
Some businessmen with small assets knelt on the ground, raised their heads and said, "Let's all go! Go to Beizhen to do business!"
"Let's raise funds to set up a factory in Beizhen! Build an industry!"
Those workers were even more excited. You must know that they were the most pitiful group of people living in Jinghai. At this time, Li Zhi said that they could build their own city with their own hands and become the masters. How could they not be excited? They had not read the book.
, not knowing how to express his gratitude, he kowtowed to the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The grateful shouts formed a torrent that kept ringing inside and outside the Guandi Temple.
Several local officials in Jinghai County had nothing to say about this.
In fact, the Chinese people have a very strong sense of local preservation. Facing the influx of outsiders, the locals in Jinghai have a sense of crisis that their hometown is occupied by outsiders. And if all the outsiders can be made to leave Jinghai and develop in the new city of the Special Economic Zone,
, the local people who have a strong sense of protecting their territory will also breathe a sigh of relief.
The officials in Tianjin looked at each other for a while. They really admired Li Zhi's method, and they all knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty is so wise! Create something out of nothing! I am so impressed that I am so impressed!"
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the world is very lucky!"
"Brother is really tall!"
Li Zhi secretly thought that this time traveler's knowledge in later generations was different, and he easily solved the unsolvable problems of this era.
Seeing a large number of local officials and foreigners kneeling inside and outside Guandi Temple, who were all happy, Li Zhi touched the beard on his chin and burst into laughter.
