"Every time I look at it, I feel surprised. After a long time, the steel industry is the traditional leading industry in Guangzhou!" Liu Xiang had to sigh with emotion after rearranging it carefully.
In fact, this is not a secret, but Liu Xiang rarely pays attention to the historical data of these areas that have nothing to do with his jurisdiction. Now I'm surprised when I see it.
Judging from the results, Guangzhou Prefecture has formed a certain scale of iron-making, wood processing, and brewing industry clusters in the secondary industry due to the long-term intervention of the Senate Economic Circle. However, ironmaking is still the traditional leading industry among these three major clusters.
He opened the "Compilation of Guangzhou Economic, Industrial and Commercial Historical Materials" in the Big Library. It turned out that the iron in Guangdong in this time and space was already famous. The so-called Southern Railway and Guangzhou Railway refer to the pig iron produced by small workshops here. Foshan's smelting and casting industry is very famous in history.
Zhaoqing has high-grade iron ore, which is collected and scattered along the Xijiang River into various small workshops along the way. It is smelted into iron ingots by blacksmiths in the traditional sense, and finally concentrated in Fucheng, Guangzhou. The imperial court even set up iron affairs and iron classes in Guangfu to focus on this industry.
Because the pig iron here is all smelted with charcoal, it does not contain a large number of impurities like the pig iron smelted from coal in the north, especially does not contain sulfur, so the quality of the pig iron is very high. Therefore, the Ming court tried its best to arrange the casting of Hongyi cannons in Guangdong.
Lingao's huge industrial stomach has intensified the expansion of this traditional advantageous industry - before building its own blast furnace, the Senate's industrial system had always used pig iron imported from Guangdong for resmelting to supply steel. Even now that Ma Niao Steel Company exists, the Planning Institute still imports some high-quality pig iron from Guangdong for direct use in production.
Wood processing was directly driven by Hong Kong shipyards. The standardized production model not only brings convenience to Hong Kong shipyards, but also greatly improves the production capacity of various workshops that have undergone industrial transformation. In particular, the improvement of precision and the unification of weights and measures have enabled the realization of large-scale collaborative production, subcontracted production and other methods, in addition to the production of ship materials, which is the most profitable and the most "craft" can be learned. These old-style workshops also began to try to collaborate to produce some other products according to "Australian craftsmanship". However, they almost entirely rely on orders from the Planning Institute, and their technical level and processing capabilities are still very low. To further improve, relevant technology transfer and additional processing equipment must be carried out. The latter is difficult to achieve in industrial sectors with full production schedules. Therefore, Liu Xiang felt that there was little potential.
The biggest impact was on the brewing industry driven by the domestic and export sales of distilled liquors such as "Princess of the Tang Dynasty", "Guo Shi Wushuang" and "Lan Guiren". Due to the large-scale purchase of local brews and the focus on alcohol content without considering the taste at all, local brewing workshops have sprung up in the surrounding areas, even in the homes of farmers who have some surplus food at home - ever since sweet potatoes were put on the market in Guangzhou on a large scale. It seems that the number of families has increased a lot - they also make vats of local wine and put them under the quilt, waiting for the person who collects the local wine to burn it, so that they can exchange it for a few dollars.
With more people making wine, food seems to be more in demand. In the past two years, many people have switched to growing food, especially sweet potatoes. It can be said that to a certain extent, the agricultural land around Guangzhou has changed. Traditionally, the agricultural land around Guangzhou has been used for vegetables, breeding and indigo. An agricultural structure dominated by plant-based dyes and cash crops. This is a huge impact across a large category of industries!
"This is the power of industrialization! Even just the radiant heat energy of some industries can boil the water of the small-scale peasant economy and society!"
"Vietnam and Ryukyu can also use this idea!" Liu Xiang continued to deduce in his mind.
"Ryukyu..." Liu Xiang took out a map of East Asia. Use the pen body to mark the length.
"Looking at the straight-line distance, in fact, the distance from Jeju and Ryukyu to Japan's main trading ports is about the same. But the problem is that except for us who dare to go through the Blackwater Ocean, other maritime merchants dare not! We must go north along the island chain. So how many places in Ryukyu? This island should serve as a cargo distribution center as its main function.”
Liu Xiang struggled for a long time between the Miyama Islands and the Amami Islands, but he still drew a red circle at the location of Naha Port.
"I'm still deeply influenced by 'dai koukai'," Liu Xiang sighed again, "Sulfur... Oh, forget it, fine-grained crushing is not what this small broken archipelago can do. Just pack it up and ship it away." Liu Xiang recalled After reading the post on the comprehensive utilization of sulfur that had been heatedly discussed on BBS, I found that there is really no ability to support a sulfur chemical industry with such unreliable output as artificial collection from volcanic craters.
"If I want to do this, I'm afraid I will have to write about the advantages of the single-center star logistics system. I wonder if the logistics people will endorse my 'theory'." Liu Xiang looked at the logistics center in eastern China. Looking at the arc-shaped coastline, my confidence in my heart has increased a little: it has grown like this, if we don’t engage in star logistics, it will be a waste of transportation capacity!
"Vietnam. I feel like I have a high chance of going to this place! Coal and grain, isn't the situation the same as what I had in Qiongshan! It's just that the Jiazi Coal Mine has been replaced by the Hongji Coal Mine. This is very familiar. Feeling!" Liu Xiang paid the least attention to Vietnam because of the industrial analysis. If you go to Vietnam, in addition to increasing the military proportion. The others are just an enlarged version of Qiongshan County - and even more unscrupulous! After all, the Vietnamese are not the "same culture and race" as Liu Xiang thinks, and they can definitely act more fiercely.
"However, we must make it clear that we will never establish a governor-general system in Vietnam!" Liu Xiang thought to himself: "Many elders hold maps of the Han Dynasty and say that Beiqi and Zhongqi have been China's inherent territory 'forever'. It's Jiuzhen and Ninan counties. If we implement a governor-general system, will we also build a governor-general's palace when we expand the core territory of Kyushu in the future? This is simply a bad start and causing trouble for ourselves." Liu Xiang sighed.
"Three Liu came out of Beijing, stopped the governorship of the Ministry of History and established the prefectural shepherd. This was the beginning of the chaos of the Yan-Han Dynasty! The one who started the figurines has no descendants!" Suddenly, the thinking circuit in his mind jumped to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiang started to sigh again.
Looking at the map, recalling the endless cycle of attachment, surrender, rebellion, and independence in the history of Vietnam, a man who claimed that "Engineering is the best among the liberal arts, liberal arts is the best among the sciences, and science among the engineering is the best." I have already begun to conceive of the "Essay on Discussing the Countermeasures of South Vietnam".
"... Hundreds of Yue tribes in southern China were barbarians before the Qin Dynasty established Guilin and Xiangjun. They had no respect for their ancestors, no writing, and were not called a state. It was not until Zhao Tuo became independent that there was civilization... Now I am traveling to Australia in the Song Dynasty. The Senate has specially dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 ships to hunt in the land of South Vietnam, just to restore China and save the common people! You should obey the heavens and the people, and eat the pots of pulp to welcome the king... "Liu Xiang took a deep breath, pushed open the porthole, and shouted the last sentence loudly to the sea: "Don't say you didn't predict what you said!" After shouting out, Liu Xiang suddenly felt that he was being buffed by a hundred buffs. Various light and shadow effects are sprayed out with the purpose of blinding all krypton gold dogs.
"ba...baaaa..."
Liu Xiang was hit by the "cute sound of death" and his expression immediately softened.
"Miss! Are you the rescuer invited by the monkey?" Liu Xiang, who was unable to fight, took the little girl who woke up from her nap and teased her while tickling her.
Guo Ling'er looked at the father and daughter who were laughing loudly, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"What monkey?" As soon as he asked, Guo Ling'er saw the documents on the table, especially the map of Indochina that was unfamiliar but familiar to her after seeing it many times. She understood instantly - it turned out that her husband was thinking about it just now. It's a national matter.
"Ms. sir, the ship is coming soon. Do you want to change clothes?" Guo Ling'er asked while packing the things on the table.
"Well, let's raise my flag." Liu Xiang nodded.
Ever since Ming Lao raised his general flag on the Lichun, the vast majority of the people have expressed how could such an improvement in rank not be popular among all veterans? Coupled with the instigation of Hong Huangnan and other elders who had been sparing no effort to promote the establishment of the Heraldry Institute, the Executive Committee did what they wanted: allowing each elder to design their own coat of arms and flag. arts
As soon as the document was handed out, the five hundred people were like cold water thrown into a hot pan. In an instant, the thresholds of various art and design-related elders were passed through, and foreign craftsmen like Trini became even more popular. Delicious.
The pattern Liu Xiang designed for himself was not complicated. He originally planned to use only the character Liu in seal script. But Liu is considered a popular surname, and many elders among the elders have the same surname. To distinguish him, Liu Xiang made a circle with a red dragon and a white python on the outside, with red on top and white on the bottom - a metaphor for the great ancestor who killed the white snake and the red emperor and the white emperor. Allusions. This approach was firmly resisted by other elders surnamed Liu, and in the end they had to make a compromise, that is, elders surnamed Liu could use the red dragon and white python mark as long as they wanted.
Although the red dragon and white python are relatively complicated, compared with the complicated European heraldry of various flowers, grass, griffons, etc. designed by other elders, it is already very simple and lively - at least the embroidery of the red dragon and white python is good for people from the south of the Yangtze River. It is not a difficult task to become a refugee, and the embroidery girls over there are skilled workers at this.
First up is the Morning Star flag, and then Liu Xiang’s personal flag. Liu Xiang stood on the deck with his daughter in his arms, enduring the setting sun but still extremely dazzling as he looked at the pier dedicated to senior officials near Lingao.
"Back again!" Liu Xiang sighed in his heart. Although Liu Xiang returned to Lingao many times during his tenure in Qiongshan because of reporting work or "running the department to make money", he always felt like a rubber band was tied behind his back and was pulled back after a short stay. When I came to Lingao this time, I really felt like I was "at home". Although the new work will soon be overloaded, I will at least have a month to take a good rest in Lingao. (To be continued...)
