Considering that rash changes in the administrative system are easy to cause trouble, for example, there are similar problems with Shanghai, in fact, there is Guangzhou, Guangzhou is a prefecture, and the capital city and even the provincial capital is actually Panyu County.

The contradictions and conflicts between Panyu County and several surrounding counties are also very large.

If there is a merger on the Shanghai side, will there also be a merger on the Guangzhou side?

More crucially, this merger is only a nominal merger and is of no use to settle the matter.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan directly instructed "Songjiang Prefecture to increase coordination with various counties, and postpone the merger!" ”

This is basically agreeing with the opinion of the cabinet!

However, after such a review, he felt that he should say a few more words, and then rattled the bell, called the secretary who was waiting outside, and then said: "Proposed purpose, Chen Lifu let go of his hand to coordinate the four counties of Songjiang, and if necessary, the counties can be adjusted to a certain extent, and the industry and commerce of Songjiang Mansion must be brought to a higher level!" ”

In fact, direct instructions are okay, but Li Xuan still made a special decree, which reflects the importance of Songjiang Mansion and Shanghai, so that Chen Lifu knows that since he has sat in the position of the prefect of Songjiang Mansion, he must do things with his heart.

In addition, Chen Lifu was also given a certain amount of authority to make minor adjustments to better develop industry and commerce.

Therefore, Chen Lifu's excerpt did not cause any waves in the upper echelons of the empire, but after Chen Lifu received Li Xuan's holy decree, he still knew that although he could not directly merge the three counties, he would adjust it to a certain extent, and this adjustment was enough.

How to adjust? The Son of Heaven did not say it explicitly!

Is it an adjustment to the jurisdiction of each county? Or is it about making adjustments to officials? Or is it an adjustment of economic policy?

The Son of Heaven didn't say it explicitly, so Chen Lifu could only figure it out by himself, and then figure out a way.

Anyway, whether it is the Son of Heaven or his own goal, it is just to develop the industry and commerce of Songjiang Mansion!

Under this premise, it is also feasible to make some necessary adjustments.

It is impossible to directly adjust the jurisdiction, because the adjustment of the jurisdiction still has to be reported to the central government in the end, and there is a high probability that it will be returned, but he still has a certain authority for official adjustment and policy adjustment.

Immediately, he directly convened an economic meeting with the Yamen of the Governor of Songjiang Prefecture, and then quickly determined the extension plan of Yanjiang Avenue and other main roads!

Nowadays, the Yanjiang Avenue in Shanghai is only limited to the North Shore Industrial Zone, the Business District, the Old City and the First and Second Industrial Zones in Shanghai.

In the north, it stretches all the way to Jiading, and in the south, it extends to Huating, of course, not all the area, but only a distance.

On the Huating side, Yanjiang Avenue will be extended to the Huating Development Zone, starting from the Second Industrial Zone and then to the southernmost part of the Huating Development Zone, a total of about seven kilometers.

The construction standard of this seven-kilometer extension section will be the same as the unified standard of Yanjiang Avenue in Shanghai, with the same width and the same hardened pavement!

As for the issue of funds, the section in Shanghai is solely borne by the Shanghai finance, while the section in Huating County is a small part of the financial contribution of Huating County, and the majority is financed by Songjiang Prefecture.

The same is true for those in Jiading.

To put it bluntly, the funds of the prefectural-level treasury were used to assist the infrastructure construction of Huating and Jiading.

At the same time, on the issue of public transportation, Chen Lifu personally came forward to meet with the Shanghai Public Carriage Company, and then interviewed the officials of Jiading and Huating counties, asking them to come up with a cooperation plan no matter what.

The Shanghai Public Carriage Company is also a state-owned enterprise, although it is an independent commercial operation, but at this time, it is inevitable to undertake some political tasks, and finally pinch its nose and give up part of its interests.

Under the leadership of Chen Lifu, the Songjiang Public Carriage Company was established with the financial contribution of the Songjiang Prefecture to operate the public carriage business in the four counties of the prefecture in a unified manner, but the Shanghai Public Carriage Company is still operating independently, but it is limited to the business in the county, and at the same time, three branches of Huating, Jiading and Qingpu were established to operate the business in their respective jurisdictions.

The inter-county public carriage service is coordinated and operated by the Songjiang Public Carriage Company.

However, as compensation, the Shanghai Public Carriage Company took the vast majority of the shares in the new company.

After the establishment of the Songjiang Public Carriage Company for unified coordination and management, the public transportation problem that has been plaguing the three counties has been quickly solved, and a number of public carriage routes have been quickly opened.

More importantly, the rail-drawn carriages will also extend from the second industrial zone to the Huating development zone.

In this way, it will greatly solve the transportation problem of tens of thousands of people currently living in Huating Development Zone to go to work in the second industrial zone.

Although there is only a few kilometers apart, there are no public carriages, and it is too far to walk, and if there are no railroad carriages, only ordinary carriages are too high for ordinary workers to afford.

If there is a rail-drawn carriage, relying on the transportation volume to rise sharply, the transportation cost will be greatly reduced, and at that time, the price of this rail-drawn carriage will be able to afford even ordinary workers.

At present, the rail carriage in Shanghai has begun to operate on a large scale!

Although the initial investment cost is huge, but the carrying capacity is not to say, only two horses are needed, can drag a carriage carrying dozens of passengers, and the speed is also faster, and the ride is more comfortable.

Nowadays, this kind of rail carriage transportation system has begun to assume the main capacity of Shanghai's urban transportation!

It's just that this kind of rail carriage has a huge investment, and at present, there is only Shanghai that can have this financial resources for large-scale development, even in Jinling City, it is only an experimental rail carriage route, and it is not for passenger service, but for cargo service, to put it bluntly, the original port freight line has been extended by a few kilometers.

Similarly, there is Guangzhou, which has also begun to engage in small-scale activities.

It's just that there is still no way to directly engage in large-scale rail carriages like Shanghai, or even cover the whole city.

So far, Shanghai has completed about 50 kilometers of track routes, and it is worth noting that half of these track routes started construction last year, which shows the speed of development.

Originally, in the seventeenth year of Xuanping, Shanghai had planned a track route of about 40 kilometers, ready to completely cover all the major urban areas, but now it has added a line connecting Huating and Jiading, and an additional route of about 15 kilometers.

After all the above routes are completed, by the time of the 18th year of Xuanping, the length of rail public transportation lines in Shanghai and the surrounding areas will reach more than 100 kilometers, and it will take on the main task of carrying passengers and freight in the urban area.

This development is much faster than a simple railway!

This is because urban rail transit, only directly laid along the major highways, has a solid land base, only needs to be simply leveled, compacted road surface, and then paved with rails, and the design carrying capacity is not large, the requirements for roadbed and rails are not high.

But the real railway construction is much more difficult, the real railway construction, are in the wilderness, need to open mountains, dig tunnels, build bridges, and the design standards are also very high, because this is not simply for the existing horse-drawn rail car to prepare, but for the real steam-powered train preparation, so the design standard is very high.

Now the construction of the Jingzhen railway has been several years, but it is still not completed, and it is optimistically estimated that it will be completely completed and opened to traffic in the autumn of the eighteenth year of Xuanping.

However, Li Xuan is not in a hurry about this, anyway, the high-pressure steam engine has not been made, if the high-pressure steam engine does not come out, the train will not come out, but if the carriage is used, although the effect is also good, but in the end it is still not as good as the real train.

Chen Lifu opened up the land transportation from Shanghai to Huating and Jiading, which is the initial integration of the resources of the three places.

Subsequently, he used the government finance to support the construction of the wharf in the Huating Development Zone!

This series of measures can be regarded as Chen Lifu's policy in Songjiang Prefecture, which is no longer to continue to use the strength of the whole government to support the development of Shanghai, but to support the development of Huating and Jiading.

However, this kind of support, in turn, also supports the development of Shanghai!

Because Chen Lifu's policy is still based on Shanghai, let Jiading, Huating, and Qingpu carry out supporting development for Shanghai.

For example, let Jiading develop shipbuilding, Jiading's Huangpu River coastal area is actually larger, and the conditions are better, the development of shipbuilding industry and some heavy industry here can allow Shanghai to retain valuable land resources, but at the same time can also get a variety of supporting resources of heavy industry.

In Huating, it is engaged in some auxiliary supporting industries such as spare parts, and by accepting the settlement of small and medium-sized enterprises, it will support a large number of enterprises in the first industrial zone and the second industrial zone.

In order to attract enterprises to settle in the Huating Development Zone, Chen Lifu made a decision, canceled part of the financial subsidies to Shanghai, and then transferred to the Huating Development Zone, of course, these financial subsidies are only limited to the financial subsidies of Songjiang Prefecture itself, the financial subsidies of Jiangnan Province and the financial subsidies of the central government, Chen Lifu has no right to move.

As for Qingpu, this is not very easy to do, for the time being, it can only do some agricultural facilities for Shanghai, engage in grain processing, trade and the like, Shanghai is a huge city, and a large number of agricultural products need to be consumed every day, Qingpu provides all kinds of agricultural products nearby, and there is still a future for agriculture.

Through a series of policies, Chen Lifu is to let enterprises bloom everywhere from gathering in Shanghai to surrounding Shanghai!

As soon as this policy was implemented, it received part of the effect, and more than 20 small and medium-sized enterprises began to settle in Huating Development Zone, but the overall number is still not enough, and the scale of these enterprises is relatively small.

Nowadays, major enterprises still have relatively large concerns about Huating and Jiading!

In Jiading, in addition to typical heavy industries such as shipyards, steel, chemicals, and machinery that require a large area of land, there are basically no other enterprises to invest and settle down, and there are only a small number of small and medium-sized enterprises that have no strength and feel pressured in Shanghai to consider moving to Huating.

And it is only limited to the factory, as for the company headquarters or something, it is needless to say, all of them stay in Shanghai.

For large enterprises such as Jiangnan Shipyard, its main shipbuilding base is actually built in Jiading, but its company headquarters is in the business area, and there are actually more enterprises like Jiangnan Shipyard.

No way, everyone is gathered in Shanghai, if you set up the company's headquarters in other places, people are too lazy to talk about business, how can it be convenient in Shanghai, walk around the Yanjiang Avenue in the business district, basically you can find all types of large enterprise headquarters or branches.

Within a radius of one thousand meters, there is no business that cannot be done, even if it is a big business of hundreds of thousands and millions, it can be done.

However, it is better to say that it finally connects Shanghai with the three surrounding counties, and the effect achieved is actually similar to the large Shanghai county envisioned by Chen Lifu before.

The only difference is the name!
