Chapter 1315: The barefooted are not afraid of wearing shoes
Even though these people work in the Second Industrial Zone, the people living in Huating Development Zone can also bring some consumption to Huating Development Zone, thereby providing part of the commercial output value and tax revenue.
Relying on these, Huating Development Zone is quite decent. In fact, compared with other county-level development zones, the taxes collected can be considered to be at a medium level. However, this is still not what Huating officials want to see.
Because the Huating Development Zone was originally developed as an industrial zone, local officials hope to attract a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and provide employment, tax revenue, etc. by supporting major enterprises in Shanghai.
This will transform Huating County from a purely agricultural area to an industrial city!
But now, the Huating Development Zone, which had high hopes, has turned into an area mainly for living and residence. It seems to be prosperous with many people, but it is difficult to bring much economic growth momentum to Huating County.
What's more important is that the taxes can't be collected much.
Although there are many people living here, they do not pay taxes to Huating County because they work in the Second Industrial Zone, and the taxes contributed by their work are given to the Second Industrial Zone.
This also makes a group of officials in Huating County extremely depressed!
After working hard for several years, I finally made a wedding dress for the Second Industrial Zone next door. A nice industrial zone finally turned into a supporting living and residential area for the Second Industrial Zone!
They were all a little unconvinced!
Last year, I had the courage to redevelop the Huating Development Zone, but in the end it didn't take shape.
There is no way, there is no money in my pocket!
Those businessmen are not willing to come. In the eyes of these businessmen, Huating Development Zone is a large living area suitable for living. As for setting up companies and factories here, don't joke!
Moreover, there is not even a government-level financial subsidy policy. When there is Shanghai next door, they don't have to go to Huating to bother.
In the end, it became the Huating Development Zone that Chen Lifu saw now: the streets are very spacious, and you can tell that this was a road that Huating County spent a lot of effort to repair, but the roads on both sides are not factories, but a stretch of land.
There are many residential buildings, and occasionally there are large open spaces that are abandoned and overgrown with weeds.
Large areas of factory land overgrown with weeds awaiting development form a strong contrast to the large residential buildings next to them where people have died.
All the land in Huating Development Zone actually belongs to the government, and these residential buildings also belong to the government!
At the beginning, the development zone was prepared to introduce investment to build factories, but there were no factories. Instead, many real estate companies proposed, hoping to obtain some land for the construction of residential buildings.
However, this place is an industrial zone after all. Naturally, the land cannot be sold directly, but it will not work if the land continues to be abandoned. Therefore, the local government cooperates with real estate companies to build residential buildings in some areas. At this stage, it can accommodate ordinary people.
People can live there, and in the future they can also live there as employees of major factories in the development zone.
After this started, it became more and more intense. In the end, more than half of the land in the small development zone was developed into residential buildings. As for the factory land, it was still abandoned.
When Chen Lifu and a group of officials visited the development zone in a four-wheeled carriage, he was also thinking about this development zone.
It is impossible to develop industry. Without the support of national policies and Taoist policies, even financial support from Songjiang Prefecture is useless. Shanghai's advantages are too great, and Huating County cannot compete at all.
If the distance is further away, the competition can be misaligned, but it is just on the edge and there is no way to hide!
After Chen Lifu completed his inspection, he held a meeting on Huating's issues and listened to some opinions from the county magistrate and other major officials of Huating County. However, these people just repeated the same old talk and only talked about the need for financial subsidies and the like...
Chen Lifu was too lazy to pay attention to these words!
Huating County has always received a lot of financial subsidies in recent years. Shanghai next door has contributed so much fiscal revenue. Although they have used most of the fiscal revenue, the small amount of extra money is enough to
The three surrounding counties have received some benefits.
Funds for the construction of water conservancy facilities in the three counties are basically subsidized by Shanghai. Last year, a large amount of funds were provided to Huating County to improve local traffic conditions.
Of course, Shanghai requires that most of this subsidy be used for road transportation in Huating Development Zone, mainly for the conversion of original dirt roads on several main roads connecting the Second Industrial Zone.
It is a cinder road and a gravel road.
This kind of assistance is also for Shanghai's own consideration, and it assists water conservancy construction because Shanghai needs the surrounding water network to maintain smooth flow and import and export a large amount of materials.
Aiding transportation construction also has such considerations. As for the Huating Development Zone, it is actually just to allow local residents to go to work in the industrial zone conveniently and smoothly.
In order to ensure that residents living in the Huating area can go to work in the Second Industrial Zone smoothly and conveniently, the Shanghai Bus and Carriage Company has specially opened a number of bus and carriage lines here to travel to and from fixed points. It also plans to connect the rail carriages in Shanghai city to
After entering the Huating Development Zone, we are still arguing with Huating.
Why the fuss?
Huating wants to get a piece of the pie and wants to set up a bus and carriage company controlled by local finance and jointly operate these lines with the Shanghai Public Carriage Company.
Is the Shanghai Public Carriage Company willing?
They provide technology, capital, and management. You, Huating, don’t contribute anything, they just provide land, and the new company needs money to buy these lands. In this way, you want to get half of the shares in the new company.
Don’t even think about it!
However, Huating is also barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes!
If the benefits are not shared equally, then don't expect to drive a rail carriage. Anyway, these workers are not contributing industrial output and taxes to Huating. Whether they can go to work on time is none of their business.
Recently, in order to force Shanghai to compromise, they even deliberately delayed the maintenance of those cinder roads!
The current situation is that Shanghai needs land in Huating County, or to be more precise, land in the Huating Development Zone, as a living and residential supporting area, thereby alleviating the huge land pressure in the Second Industrial Zone.
However, Huating is not willing to get only a residential area. They want to get an industrial area. No matter what, it should be a large consumer and commercial area. However, Shanghai does not even plan to build a large commercial center in Huating.
The Second Industrial Zone will be built in a small area between Huating County.
This made Huating officials quite dissatisfied!
Although it is possible to make a lot of money by developing residential areas and the like, this is basically useless and cannot bring any political achievements to the officials.
There is a real estate industry in the empire, but the real estate industry in the empire is very different from the real estate industry in later generations!
First of all, the land system of the empire adopts a private land system. Seventy percent of the country's arable land is in private hands and has permanent property rights.
In terms of urban land, except for newly developed special cities like Shanghai, most of the land and buildings in most other cities, even Jinling City, are privately owned.
I want to acquire land and sell it to earn the difference as financial income.
Okay, bring the money!
There is no such thing as forced expropriation these days. Even if you use various means, you will have to buy the land at market price in the end, because in fact, the main owners of many land are not ordinary people, but gentry, and they will not play with the price with you.
A sharp increase is considered good.
Then the government provides various supporting facilities and the like, prepares to develop and increase the land value, and then sells the land at a high price. But when the real estate developers see it, the value has increased, and they quickly go to hoard the land. Do you think these real estate developers will buy the land from the government or go to the government?
What about buying land from private hands?
When prices are too high, do you think real estate developers will sell them to raise funds?
When land resources are no longer a monopoly resource, land finance can no longer be played. The government in Shanghai has purchased so much land that it has almost completely developed the business zone, the first and second industrial zones, and the north bank.
The land in the district is purchased, but the surrounding land is still private land. The government does not have the right to decide the price of the land, but follows the market.
Finally, another very important point is that local governments have no power to sell these lands directly...
Regardless of whether these lands were originally owned by the government or purchased later, they all belonged to the government, and since the founding of the Tang Empire, there had never been any examples of direct sales of these official lands.
There are currently only three ways to distribute the country's land, namely direct distribution through leasing and purchasing, military merit allocation, and reclamation orders!
Even in Shanghai, the only way to achieve financial recovery is to rent out the property with a one-time payment for fifty years or even one hundred years. For this reason, it was even targeted by the Inspectorate.
This is a long-term lease. Although it can be rented for a hundred years, it does not have permanent property rights after all. Most people are still worried. For the same money, they would rather buy private land with permanent property rights.
This is actually the reason why Shanghai has set up ad hoc county offices that do not directly sell land or even houses, but only rent out land and houses for a long time, thus becoming super landlords.
The private ownership of land in the Tang Empire was basically guaranteed, and it was difficult for local governments to play around with land finance. Therefore, they had no interest in setting up construction communities and pushing up land prices and housing prices in their jurisdictions. Instead, they would suppress them because of the excessive
High housing and land prices will affect investment promotion.
They are only interested in industries that can increase taxes and create jobs, so they prefer various factories to ordinary industries.
Naturally, their officials personally have no special feelings about the factory, but when it comes to evaluations, although the Ministry of Personnel will consider comprehensively from many aspects, many times, everyone does the same thing and is not outstanding enough, so it is left to local officials.
There are not many ways to achieve political achievements.
The development of agriculture, industry and commerce has become a top priority.
Among them, the development of agriculture is relatively fixed. If the development is not good enough, it will definitely not work. But if the development is good, it will not be outstanding enough. The remaining industries have become the battlefield where many local officials focus on fighting, because if this is done well, it is easy to achieve results.
, and it is more intuitive in comparison.
As a result, industrial output value has become an important basis for evaluating the performance of local officials. How much industrial output value, how many jobs are provided, and how many taxes are collected will directly affect the performance of a local official.
After all, this is also related to Li Xuan's personal preferences. Whether he can be promoted these days depends on his political performance and the staff, but in the final analysis, it still depends on Li Xuan.
And Li Xuan likes to see industrial development!
Therefore, officials worked hard to develop industry——
