Chapter 1281: Propaganda Activities
Liu Shang has always admired Haihan's ability in business operations, and he knows that these people will always have a way to sell tofu for meat prices, and the salt business is probably just another area that embodies this extraordinary ability.
Luo Shengdong picked up the samples and showed them to Yu Xiaobao, and at the same time explained the production and sales status of these products. Liu Shang stood not far away and pricked up his ears to listen, but he could basically hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but be surprised again by the scale of Haihan's salt trade.
At present, the amount of salt sold from here to foreign countries every day alone is as much as 10,000 catties. In the previous year, Yinggehai County ranked third in the ranking of administrative cities and counties paying finance and taxes to the Ministry of Finance, second only to Sanya City and Haikou City, and even surpassed Danzhou City, which shows the strong profitability of this place.
Ironically, most of the residents of Yinggehai County are salt households who have migrated from various places along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty. As Haihan Salt has gradually occupied the salt market in these areas in recent years, the local salt farms have closed down one after another because they are unprofitable, and these salt farmers have been making salt for generations, and it is not easy to change to other businesses. Haihan carried out immigration recruitment activities in these salt farms in a timely manner, recruiting unemployed salt farmers to Hainan Island in batches to resume their old business, and these skilled workers can be qualified to operate the improved seawater salt production process of Haihan with a little training, which is one of the main reasons why Yingge Haihai Salt Farm can develop to its current scale in just a few years.
Liu Shang also felt a little speechless after listening to Luo Shengdong's introduction, Haihan relied on the cheap salt produced on a large scale to defeat the government-run salt farms in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and then recruited unemployed salt farmers to his side to further expand the scale of production, in the long run, the lifeline of the salt industry in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty will also be gradually controlled by them, and there is not even a chance to turn over.
If Liu Shang's perspective can be a little higher, he will find that the similar situation is not only in the salt industry, but also in many other types of skilled work, a large number of skilled craftsmen and craftsmen have been recruited to Hainan Island by Haihan through various means, and the corresponding production field of the Ming Dynasty is also being weakened without the vast majority of people noticing.
The main purpose of Luo Shengdong's introduction is to highlight the local industrial development status after he took office, and he also listed a large number of figures to highlight his political achievements - he knows very well that the most important thing for Haihan's senior management is all kinds of data, and he has been prepared for this.
After reading the quality inspection link, Luo Shengdong took everyone out to visit the production site, and by the way, he also popularized the local salt production process to everyone. Liu Shang was not very interested in the production process of how to make brine, crystallization, and purification in the salt factory, and he was more concerned about the errands he would be arranged at this station. Because before leaving in the morning, Yu Xiaobao had already told him that he might arrange a propaganda activity in Yinggehai County today, and now he is also taking advantage of the visit to recall the manuscript he had memorized before while walking.
The visit to the salt works lasted until noon, and after visiting the three salt works, Luo Shengdong took everyone back to the county seat. However, Yinggehai County is different from Yacheng in that there is no traditional Chinese-style city outline on the periphery, and it is completely an open town. Moreover, there are almost no military facilities in the local area, and in Liu Shang's view, it is an undefended city. But this arrangement seems to be reasonable, the channel in and out of Yingge Sea is extremely narrow, and the coastline in the harbor is almost entirely salt pans, except for a small section of the pier.
With the exception of a few forts built a few years ago next to the passage into and out of the port, there were basically no other military installations in the area, and the garrison had only one company, and the local law and order was mainly maintained by the police and militia. However, the local life is affluent, and Haihan has cleared the nearby waters in recent years, so there is not much hidden danger in terms of safety.
Needless to say, the richness of the luncheon was needless to say, but because there was still business to be done in the afternoon, Luo Shengdong did not invite everyone to drink. After lunch, Luo Shengdong took everyone to a pre-built venue outside the county, which was specially prepared for the inspection team to preach the event.
Liu Shang was arranged to preach on stage in the second priority, just behind Xiaobao, Rao is he has been performing in the teahouse for the past month, but when he encounters such a formal official occasion, he can't help but be a little nervous. Before the opening began, I hurried up to go through the draft again.
In a short time, the audience came one after another, at least half of them were salt merchants, and the other half were made up of local ship operators, salt farm officials and representatives of the masses. The total number is only sixty or seventy people, all of whom Luo Shengdong has prepared a list in advance, and Liu Shang saw that there were not too many people, so he calmed down a little.
Seeing that the audience was basically seated, Yu Xiaobao and Luo Shengdong walked to the front together, and Luo Shengdong introduced the identity of Yu Xiaobao and his party and the purpose of preaching here to the audience. Some people who have heard too much of Xiaobao's name immediately took the lead in applauding, hoping to leave a good impression on this rising star in Haihan officialdom. If you don't know this person, hurry up and ask each other about his background.
In fact, the status of Yu Xiaobao is very simple, as long as the position of the head of the Youth League is enough. Not only Haihan nationals, but also foreign businessmen who often come to Hainan Island also know that the nature of the Haihan Youth League is almost equivalent to that of a reserve army of young officials, and the officials who manage this reserve force have a high status and great influence. It is usually difficult for such a big man to have the opportunity to come into contact with him, so everyone naturally cheered up and listened to the next preaching.
Yu Xiaobao's speech was not too specific, but mainly to convey to the audience some of the recent major policies of the Executive Committee, such as further increasing the development of agricultural projects on Hainan Island and in the South China Sea colonies, increasing maritime transport capacity, and strengthening maritime security cooperation with neighboring countries. These issues do not have much practical significance for people who are not so politically sensitive, but if people with more active minds can experience some of the latest political trends in Haihan, whether they contain business opportunities that can be exploited, it is a matter of opinion and wisdom.
After Yu Xiaobao finished speaking, it was finally Liu Shang's turn to perform. At the end of the day, Liu Shang was not so nervous, and the audience present now seemed to be not much different from the tea guests in Xinlong Teahouse.
