With Songjiang Prefecture developing so well, it is natural that its fiscal revenue will be high, and the more money it receives, the more attention it will receive!
Over the years, a considerable part of Songjiang Prefecture's money has been used as infrastructure construction funds. Dredging rivers, building bridges and paving roads are the most basic.
He spent a lot of money to build a lot of buildings and rent them to poor families at low prices.
There are also part of the administrative funds to maintain the administrative agencies of Songjiang Prefecture, part of them are used for tax incentives or subsidies, and part of them are education funds, part of them are maintenance funds for orphanages, nursing homes, etc., and some are used to support remote areas.
For example, Xingquan Prefecture, the land of Longxing in the empire, although it is the land of Longxing, it still cannot conceal the nature of a remote and rural area. Every year, Songjiang Prefecture will support part of the funds of Xingquan Prefecture.
There are many similar supports.
But even so, Songjiang Prefecture has to worry about how to spend so much money every year.
We must not only avoid being criticized for spending money indiscriminately, we must spend money in real terms and not spend it indiscriminately. At the same time, we must spend money without being caught by others in the process of spending, avoid corruption, and avoid being censored.
If you catch him, he will be sent to the execution ground in the end, so all the governors of Songjiang Prefecture are very careful.
Some other small projects don't cost much money, so from a long time ago, Songjiang Prefecture mainly invested money in various infrastructure construction.
The most important thing is to build bridges and pave roads. The highway along the river is a typical example. A high-grade cement highway with more than 100 kilometers will be considered a big project even in later generations. But in today's Datang Empire, cement and steel
It is relatively expensive, and when there is no large-scale construction equipment, it will naturally cost a lot to carry out such a large project.
Songjiang Prefecture has built more than just one road along the river. This road is large in scale and relatively famous. In fact, Songjiang Prefecture has also built many highways and rail transit.
Today, the central urban area of Songjiang Prefecture, that is, the trade area, several major industries, and Xicheng District, have completed the road hardening project. Roads in the urban area are generally paved with cement. Even some of the more important suburban roads are also paved with cement pavement. As for cinder
On the road, there are roads everywhere.
These dense road networks not only carry ordinary carriages, but also a large number of rail-based public carriages, forming a Giti network throughout the city.
The construction of these roads requires a large investment, but they are of great use after construction. For example, the highway along the river has become the main artery of Songjiang Prefecture, and countless freight carriages pass by this highway along the river.
However, after so many years of paving roads and building bridges, the transportation network in the central urban area of Songjiang Prefecture is actually very complete. From the beginning, it was designed to be lenient to the enemy, so that the pavement width of many roads is very wide, let alone now.
Even if the automobile age comes in the future, the transportation network in the central city of Songjiang Prefecture will be able to meet travel needs for a long time. At most, it will just be a patchwork.
Now that the road has been built and the bridge is almost built, Songjiang Prefecture is looking for new money-making projects.
Since last year, Songjiang Prefecture has launched a sewer expansion plan in the central city!
We are preparing to carry out a very large sewer project and dig a complex sewer system in the central city.
This sewer system is actually a huge underground tunnel system. Some of the main sewers can reach several meters in height and width, allowing carriages to enter directly.
This sewer system is naturally expensive!
But compared to the huge fiscal revenue of Songjiang Prefecture, a mere sewer system still cannot spend so much money.
Songjiang Prefecture estimates that this sewer project will only last a few years at most, so they are busy preparing for an even larger urban construction project, which is the urban subway system.
Because when we were constructing the sewer project, we thought it was a bit difficult to dig tunnels, but overall the technology was no longer a problem, it just cost a little more.
At the same time, considering that the land price on the ground is getting more and more expensive, if we continue to expand ground transportation on a large scale, although the construction cost will be low, the ground price is too high, and the current steam trains are still relatively noisy when running. In the suburbs, some people do not have
Light rail systems can also be built in very dense areas.
However, in some prosperous core areas, especially in trade areas, there is basically no possibility of building light rail.
The ground didn't work, so they aimed underground!
Dig a tunnel to run short-distance passenger trains in the city!
Although the cost is expected to be huge, Songjiang Prefecture has plenty of money, and they can do it themselves without any central financial allocation or financial support from Jiangnan Province.
Since last year, they have been conducting route surveys and at the same time carrying out the preliminary construction of the suburban light rail system. By next year, they will simultaneously build the subway in the central city.
When Li Xuan learned that Songjiang Prefecture was building a subway system, Li Xuan was in a state of despair.
The power of this industrial revolution is so great. Strictly speaking, the Tang Empire has not completely completed industrialization, and the proportion of urbanization is still very low. But even so, the industrial and commercial development in some areas is still far beyond it.
imagination.
In the era of industrialization, industry and commerce developed so rapidly and changed so quickly that even Li Xuan himself was amazed.
If we talk about the Tang Dynasty before the industrial revolution, even though it was the world's most powerful country, the world's most powerful country was still supported by agriculture and traditional handicrafts. Its gold content was very low, and there was no essential gap between it and other countries.
But comparing the Tang Empire after the Industrial Revolution with other countries on the planet, such as the Golden Kingdom of Tartar, Spain and other European countries, there are already fundamental differences.
This huge gap has made the need for comparison between the two lost.
Because there is no comparison at all!
When you talk about steel output, don't even talk about the national output of the Tang Empire, let alone large steel plants such as Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, just take a small and medium-sized steel plant in an inland province, and the steel output of this steel plant,
In particular, steel production can exceed the total output of the entire contemporary Europe!
One uses a lot of machinery and equipment to produce steel on an industrial scale, while the other can only rely on manual hammering and hammering to make steel. There is no comparison at all.
Today's Datang Empire produces more than 6 million tons of iron annually, more than 2 million tons of crude steel annually, and more than 200 million tons of coal, and can build more than 500,000 tons of ships every year.
Such horrific figures are currently unimaginable by other countries on the planet.
