Chapter 3123

The agricultural issues mentioned in this article are of course only an entry point for publishing political opinions. The views Yuan Qiuye wants to express through this can naturally be understood by an expert at a glance.

At the historical juncture of turning inwards or outwards, Yuan Qiuye undoubtedly chose the former. And the reasons he cited seemed to be based entirely on national interests rather than selfish motives.

However, his article used the current development situation of Sing Tao as a counterexample, which inevitably aroused the concern of the Sing Tao office. The current publicity campaign with great fanfare is based on agriculture, but the Times published such a direct article. Articles pointing out the shortcomings of Star Island will inevitably affect people's confidence in going to Star Island to engage in agriculture.

Of course, the Sing Tao Office cannot turn a blind eye to this, but the person who published this article is a senior official from Haihan. If you want to refute the other party's point of view, you have to be careful in your methods.

The only way Tan Tianming could think of was to ask someone to write an article, listing the various measures taken by Xingdao to promote agricultural development, and then touting the bright development prospects of the local area.

Although Yuan Qiuye's article tells the truth, the description is not comprehensive. The scale of food crop planting in Xingdao's jurisdiction has indeed not reached the national average, but the operating conditions of cash crops are actually pretty good. The local rubber and spices are already local specialty industries, and they can create a lot for Xingdao every year. financial revenue.

Tan Tianming believes that if the advantageous projects of Xingdao Agriculture can be fully demonstrated, there is still a chance to restore the negative impact caused by Yuan Qiuye's article.

But the question is whether it will annoy the other party if they immediately jump out and sing the opposite, which will affect the agricultural resources that Xingdao can obtain in the future. If there is a lack of seed industry, agricultural tools and agricultural technology support from Sanya, it will inevitably make Xingdao's already unsatisfactory agriculture worse.

While Tan Tianming and the Xingdao Office were still hesitant, someone had already stepped forward to fight for them.

To be precise, it is to oppose Yuan Qiuye's statement that "the country's future development direction should take agricultural development and food security as the main considerations."

The article published in the new issue of the Times is Qiao Zhiya, another official who is running for the new executive committee.

As a former member of the North American Gang and one of the earliest backbones of the military and police department, Qiao Zhiya's subsequent development path was completely different from that of his companions. He did not stay in the army, lead troops to conquer all directions and become a world-famous general. He chose to join the industrial sector as a technical officer and personally created the Changhua-Shilu steel heavy industry center.

To this day, almost all of Haihan's heavy industrial projects are inseparable from Qiao Zhiya's participation. Although he is not as famous as a military general, his influence within Haihan is not bad at all.

Because all senior officials know that Haihan's future must develop in the direction of industrialization, and professionals like Qiao Zhiya cannot be trained quickly in batches like soldiers.

Therefore, Qiao Zhiya's opinions on industry are often highly valued by the Executive Committee. When he publishes an article in the Times, it will naturally attract the attention of all parties.

"Agriculture is the foundation of a country and provides stable living security for its citizens, but industry is the fundamental reason why our country's development speed and national strength are stronger than other countries of the same era."

“Our country’s strong military force, prosperous culture and education, prosperous trade, convenient transportation, and abundant agricultural products are all due to the achievements of industrial development.”

"Developing industry requires a large amount of cheap labor, a stable supply of various natural resources, safe transportation channels, and a huge consumer market. For these conditions, traditional Han areas alone are not enough. We must go Go out and obtain the resources needed for industrial development from all over the world." After reading this, Tan Tianming couldn't help but stop and express his opinion: "What Mr. Qiao said is reasonable. If you want to grow more food, you can do it! If we stick to our old ways and remain content with our ancestors, what is the difference between our Haihan Dynasty and the dynasties of the past thousands of years? ”

When Lao Wang heard him discussing government affairs, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He quickly reminded him: "Second Young Master, this is the capital. If the walls have ears, and someone accuses someone of making irresponsible remarks about government affairs, it may cause trouble!"

Tan Tianming waved his hand and said: "No problem, government affairs are discussed every day in the School of Administration, and the teacher will also ask us specifically for our views on various policies."

Lao Wang didn't say anything after hearing this, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, it's because you have a special background. If an ordinary person like me talks nonsense, I'm afraid the security department will come to your door at any time.

Tan Tianming continued: "Our Xingdao develops mining. According to Mr. Qiao, it is also part of the industry. We send troops overseas to occupy a larger territory and mine more mineral deposits. This is also an effort to expand national strength. The contribution is even more significant than farming and growing grain.”

Qiao Zhiya's position is very clear, that is, the country's development direction should focus on industry rather than traditional agriculture. In order to obtain as much industrial resources as possible, Haihan should let go of his hands and take quick action around the world to seize important natural resource locations.

If we move slowly and let our foreign counterparts get ahead, it may be a lot more troublesome to seize these places again in the future.

As for the traditional Han-dominated areas, they can't escape there anyway and can be slowly digested in the next few years. Haihan has advantages in all aspects, and there is no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty having a chance to come back.

After Yuan Qiuye and Qiao Zhiya's articles appeared in newspapers, discussions on related topics began to become heated.

Although Haihan cannot yet be called an industrialized country, there are already a large number of people directly or indirectly engaged in industrial production.

In Hainan Island alone, the number of people engaged in industrial design, chemical industry, mining, smelting, manufacturing and other industries has exceeded 100,000. The value created by these industries far exceeds traditional agriculture.

In the Danzhou area, which is famous for its culture and education, the teaching direction of many academies has long since shifted from the traditional Four Books and Five Classics to the practical direction of science and engineering. The various technicians and engineers trained every year are in short supply.

The scale of the fleet dedicated to transporting various mineral resources to Hainan Island is also expanding year by year, and there is always a capacity gap that cannot be filled.

This not only promoted shipping, but also promoted the development of the shipbuilding industry. For example, various shipyards in Hainan Island have been building Yugong-class heavy-duty sailing ships for transporting bulk dry and bulk cargo all year round. The tonnage of cargo ships launched every year is far more than that of military ships.

As long as industry needs something, it will drive changes and development in related industries, and its positive impact on enriching national strength has exceeded that of traditional agriculture. This is not only the view of Haihan executives, but also gradually becoming the consensus of ordinary people.
