Li Xuan likes industry and talks about becoming an industrial power every now and then. Naturally, the people below him also value industry and make the development of industry a priority.
For the development of a country, it is actually a kind of investment from the top to the bottom.
If Li Xuan didn't have a good impression of industry, local officials would naturally not bother with any factories.
When the number of factories and the value of industrial and commercial output in the jurisdiction become a measure of the performance of local top officials, it is not surprising why the officials of Huating County are not willing to turn the development zone into a living community, but instead put all their efforts into
Everyone wants to turn the development zone into a real industrial zone, or even if it doesn't work, it will be turned into a commercial zone.
Because the political achievements brought by these three are completely different.
Chen Lifu understood what they were thinking and why they thought so.
Because he himself thought so too. When he was the county magistrate of Shanghai, why he wanted to build the North Bank Development Zone was not to develop industry and gain political achievements.
Now that he is in charge of the entire Songjiang Prefecture, he also wants to bring the industry and commerce of the entire Songjiang Prefecture to a higher level. Unlike his predecessors who all focused on Shanghai, he is ready to find another way.
Today's Shanghai is already too crowded. According to incomplete statistics, the number of residents in Shanghai's five major urban areas, jointly calculated by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Patrol Police Department, has exceeded half a million.
And the reason why it is said that the statistics are incomplete is because for such a huge city with very frequent movement of people, it is impossible to count all the people. They only count the permanent population. As for the temporary floating population,
Who knows how many!
Even Chen Lifu, the former magistrate of Shanghai's special county and the current magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, doesn't know how many people there are in Shanghai today, let alone other outsiders.
If there are too many people, the urban area will not be enough.
Because a considerable part of Shanghai's urban area is actually used as an industrial zone, and many factories in the industrial zone occupy a large area.
In addition, the area required for people to live today is also very large.
Later generations can build dozens of residential buildings at will, but in Shanghai today, even two-story buildings are rare. Only some relatively good single-family buildings or office buildings use cement and steel bars.
Or simply use wood and other materials to build a two- or three-story building.
But most of the houses where ordinary people live are bungalows!
At most, it's just a cheap wooden double-story building.
The height of this building is low, so the number of residents that can be accommodated per unit area will naturally be smaller.
When factories occupy large areas of land and residential buildings are generally bungalows, the living environment in Shanghai is actually very bad today.
Especially in places where ordinary workers live, families of four or five often live in small cubicles of thirty to forty square meters. These cubicles are often densely packed. In order to earn more rent, the landlords simply
They don't care about dangers such as fire, but they want to use every inch of land.
This also leads to the fact that the more people live in a place, the worse the living environment is.
For example, Song Wanzi lives in Congyuan, northwest of the Second Industrial Zone. She is a single woman, but she lives in an apartment of tens of square meters. The entire community has a beautiful environment and is surrounded by high walls with barbed wire.
It is guarded by armed guards, let alone petty theft. The number is small, and the armed men with less firepower will not be able to capture it for a while.
There are workers in Congyuan who regularly tidy up the garden and clean up. The living environment is quite good. It can be considered a high-class living standard in Shanghai. However, Congyuan has such a huge area and only has dozens of small buildings.
, the residential population is less than a thousand people.
However, a residential area built specifically for ordinary workers, only a few hundred meters away from Congyuan and with only half the area, is home to more than 5,000 people. It is expected that there will be some lawn and green space in the residential area.
And such residential areas are everywhere in the gaps between major industrial areas.
This does not mean that there is no other land in Shanghai. In fact, there is a lot of land farther away from the city. However, these people need to work in the five major districts. It also takes time to commute to and from get off work. If you live too far away Some, then it would be very inconvenient.
The Huating Development Zone is only a few kilometers away from the Second Industrial Zone. Although it is located in Huating, it still attracts many people to live here because of this reason.
According to Chen Lifu, the only way to continue to improve the overall industry and commerce of Songjiang Prefecture is to continue to expand the urban area of Shanghai, but if you want to expand, you cannot stay away from the Huangpu River.
Because the Huangpu River is a major artery and bears the heavy responsibility of Shanghai's external transportation. If we go far inland from the Huangpu River, transportation costs will increase significantly, which will be a very big burden for many companies.
Therefore, Chen Lifu's initial policy goal is still to develop along the Huangpu River. At the same time, due to the traffic problems in the east bank of the Huangpu River, his initial goal is still the Huangpu Jiangxi case.
The idea is the same as the original development of the Second Industrial Zone and the North Bank Industrial Zone, except that the west bank area along the Huangpu River in Shanghai has basically been developed, so it will naturally need to expand to Jiading and Huating counties.
However, due to the division of administrative regions, Shanghai Convenience has created great conflicts with the above two counties.
From the perspective of Shanghai's special counties, they are unwilling to invest a lot of resources in Linxian County to help Linxian develop. They would rather develop inland areas and solve traffic problems by building high-grade highways than help Linxian County.
Linxian County develops the area along the Huangpu River.
Well, that’s what Chen Lifu thought and did at that time!
However, now that Chen Lifu has become the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he naturally needs to look at the problem from the perspective of the entire Songjiang Prefecture.
Jiading is actually developing gradually, but the area near the Huangpu River in Jiading County, that is, the Baoshan area, has actually been divided, and a large area there is occupied by the navy!
Then there are several large shipyards such as Jiangnan Shipyard and Wusong Shipyard. These shipyards occupy a large area. Large and small shipyards and related factories almost occupy a large area from Wusong Naval Base to the North Bank Development Zone.
.
It is basically difficult to plan a large and neat area along the river.
The only feasible option is in the southwest of the Second Industrial Zone, that is, the area along the Huangpu River in Huating County, well, that is, the Huating Development Zone and nearby areas.
Chen Lifu set his sights on this area, but after investigating, he found that although this poor place was spacious, it was no less troublesome than the Jiading mountain area.
Because a large area here is privately owned, the only official land is a piece of Huating Development Zone, but this place is called a development zone, but the actual area is very small, while other places are private land.
It is almost impossible to acquire these private lands without spending a lot of money.
Because everyone is not stupid, the government wants to acquire these lands for development, which means that these lands are very important, and anyone who is not stupid will offer a high price.
Or simply don’t sell it!
If private land is not sold, the government has nothing to do and cannot force it.
Even if you want to force them, most of the owners of these lands are gentry, but few are simple ordinary people. It is impossible for ordinary people to occupy these geographically important lands in advance.
Behind these gentry, basically every household has a clan member who is an official. If the local government wanted to expropriate land at a fair price, even Chen Lifu would have to be impeached and removed from office.
Besides, even if the land is requisitioned at market price, the price of the land is too expensive. Unless Shanghai pays for the purchase, it would be impossible to raise so much money by selling the entire Huating County Government Office.
In this case, how to solve the land problem?
And how to solve the coordination with Shanghai? Make Shanghai willing to assist Huating's industrial construction?
This problem is actually bigger, because Chen Lifu has already had a private conversation with Zhao Xu, the new magistrate of Shanghai's ad hoc county who just took office. This man, who was Chen Lifu's deputy a few days ago and the magistrate of Shanghai's ad hoc county, sat on the
After taking the throne of county magistrate, for the sake of the overall development of Shanghai and his own future, he directly declined Chen Lifu's proposal to set up a special county in Shanghai to assist the development of Huating County.
It is said that Shanghai is also in financial difficulty. Only one-tenth of the road surface hardening project in the urban area has been completed, which requires huge investment of funds every year. It is also said that it is preparing to build three inland main roads and prepare to shorten the traffic in the lecture zone and inland areas.
time.
After all, in one sentence, Shanghai has no money!
Chen Lifu didn't know whether Shanghai had money, and he didn't dare to say if it was more. But it would be simple and easy to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to help Huating build a development zone. But Shanghai was unwilling, and his boss couldn't force him.
With.
In order to encourage local economic development, Li Xuan specifically formulated a tax-sharing system. Part of the tax revenue collected goes to the central government, part to the provincial finance, part to the government and state finance, part to the county finance, and part to the town/district finance. The specific proportion is first
I won’t say it, but one thing is very clear, that is, the central government and superiors must not interfere with local financial expenditures.
Shanghai's fiscal revenue belongs to Shanghai and can be spent however they wish. Not to mention Chen Lifu, even the Central Finance Department has no control over it.
In the end, Chen Lifu had no choice but to use government finances to support the construction of Huating Development Zone. By the way, he asked Jiangnan Road to see if he could get some support, but now there is no new Taoist priest in Jiangnan Road.
Once it was confirmed, no one else dared to make any promises to Chen Lifu.
All this going on made Chen Lifu a little bored.
Being the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture is much more frustrating than being the magistrate of a special county in Shanghai!
This also gave Chen Lifu another idea!
The special counties in Shanghai have money but no land. Huating and Jiading have land but no money!
If the above three places could be merged, wouldn't it mean that we would have both money and land?
As soon as such an idea came up, Chen Lifu felt that there was much to be done, but he didn't know what the boss meant!
As a result, a tentative note was written by Chen Lifu and sent to Jinling City!
