Chapter 768 Department of Industry

After seeing off Xiahou Dun and his party, Ouyang Shuo ushered in the last batch of officials today, including Director of Administration Xiao He, Director of Finance Fan Li, Director of Industry and Development Planning Cui Yingyou, and head of No. 7 Research Institute Liu Mo.

There was also a fashionable old man among the group of people.

This was the most important meeting for Ouyang Shuo today, and it was purposely put in the finale.

Ouyang Shuo took a sip of herbal tea to relieve his mental fatigue a little. In just one day, he approved the coal-for-equipment plan with Xichu, arranged for the three Violet sisters and Lu Bu, and set up three major organizations: the External Propaganda Department, the Operations Training Department, and the Equipment R&D Center.

Taking advantage of the gap, he also dealt with important information and [Liangshan Mercenary Group] related matters.

Ouyang Shuo had never encountered such an intensive discussion before. One is that the time of going out this time is too long, one is waiting for him to make a decision; the other is that the Yunnan battle is imminent, Ouyang Shuo must take advantage of this time to finish the urgent affairs of the territory as soon as possible, so that he can rush to Lingxi City to sit in command.

This discussion still involves the industrialization of the territory.

A few days ago, No. 7 Research Institute lived up to expectations and manufactured all steam engines and looms, completing the perfect transition from technical manuals to real products.

Next, it is necessary to invest in the construction of factories, carry out streamlined production, and transform products into commodities.

In addition, No. 7 Research Institute has also made significant progress in the research of Atlantis mimic aircraft. If there is no accident, the first localized mimetic aircraft will be manufactured before March next year.

Coupled with the P1 artillery, the No. 7 Research Institute has been fruitful recently. In view of this, Ouyang Shuo did not break his promise, and the 500,000 promised to Liu Mo had already been transferred.

Territory industry is at a critical point, and it is about to usher in a big explosion.

When Ouyang Shuo was still inspecting the three Lingnan counties, he ordered the General Administration and the General Finance to study the separation of all industry-related functions of the two general administrations and form a special industrial management organization.

The name of the organization is set to be the Industry Department.

The newly established Industrial Administration will be placed under the direct management of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Office, and will not be included in the four general administrations.

…………

At the beginning of the discussion, Xiao He gave a detailed report on the structure of the Industry Department.

The territory's current department in charge of industry is the Industry and Development Planning Department under the General Administration of Finance, which will also be the focus of this divestiture. In addition, the Science and Technology Department of the Science, Education, Culture and Health Administration under the General Administration, which involves industry-related functions, will also be included in the newly established Industry Administration.

Therefore, the key officials of the Industry Administration will be drawn from these two departments.

The No. 7 Research Institute will also arrange a group of relevant experts to enter the Industrial Agency to serve as technical consultants, and some will also take up administrative positions to participate in the operation of the Industrial Agency.

Not all experts in the institute are dedicated to learning. Some of them are officials of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology or heads of related agencies in reality, and they also have rich experience in government affairs.

These talents are the real backbone and brain of the Industry Department.

The candidate for the director of the Industry Department was selected from the No. 7 Research Institute, and it was the old man—Old Chen, who was actually a senior official of the Federal Commission of Science and Technology.

The planned Industrial Administration temporarily has three major agencies, including the Science and Technology Division in charge of territorial industry-related technologies, the Industry Division in charge of industrial planning and factory construction, and the Firearms Division in charge of firearms R&D and manufacturing.

Research related to warships in the shipbuilding industry will also be merged into the Industrial Bureau, which will be directly managed by the Industrial Bureau.

It can be foreseen that the newly established Industrial Administration will be one of the most core departments in the territory, controlling the industrial lifeline of the territory, and playing the role of the leader of the industrialization of the territory.

Ouyang Shuo signed the organizational adjustment plan handed over by Xiao He and stamped it with his seal. The Industry Department was officially established and began to operate immediately. Ouyang Shuo didn't look polite, and asked directly: "Old Chen, what is the plan of the Industry Department for the construction of loom and steam engine factories? Has the site been selected?"

Chen Lao also didn't expect to be able to participate in core government affairs in the game, and his interest was extremely high. As a senior executive of the federation, Mr. Chen has a more thorough understanding of the game's operating mechanism.

It can already be concluded that the young man in front of him will play an important role on the future Hope Planet. Thinking about it this way, the current job has an extraordinary meaning.

Therefore, although the current industrialization of the territory is compared with the real world, it is simply a primitive society, but Chen Lao has no intention of neglecting it.

Before coming here, Mr. Chen had already thought deeply about this question, and replied: "The Industrial Administration recommends that all relevant factories be built in Zhenhai City."

"Oh? Tell me the reason."

Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Industry Department would build the factory in Shanhai City. After all, with the abolition of Lianzhou County and its conversion to Zhili, the available land in the basin is still relatively abundant.

Mr. Chen smiled and explained: "First, Zhenhai City has a large natural port like Jiaozhou Port. This is incomparable to Shanhai City. Not to mention that Shanhai City itself is inland, it is the North Sea Port outside, because it still bears The role of the military port, the port is already somewhat congested. Coupled with the impact of ocean-going trade, there are countless merchant ships coming and going, and the congestion is even more congested. The future Beihai Port has hidden worries."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, approving Mr. Chen's judgment.

Unknowingly, the increasingly prosperous Shanhai City has challenged Beihai Port. In the past, Ouyang Shuo subconsciously set all the best places in Shanhai City.

Now that I think about it, something is wrong.

With the development of the territory, new centers should also be cultivated, and too many functions should not be added to Shanhai City. As the future capital city, Shanhai City should be built into a political, cultural and military center.

As for the industrial center, economic center, and commercial center, you can choose other suitable cities within the territory to play this role.

Zhenhai City in Lingnan Province is a very good choice. The Zhenhai City area in reality is the famous Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration and the well-known economic belt of the alliance.

"From this point of view, increasing the development of Zhenhai City should also be put on the agenda." Ouyang Shuo thought.

Mr. Chen went on to say: "Compared to Beihai Port, Jiaozhou Port is closer to Jiaodong Port in Shandong Province and Beihai Port in the north of Kyoto. It can also save coal transportation time, which is extremely beneficial to the development of industry."

"Another point is that Zhenhai City is located at the end of the Pearl River system. Through the Pearl River system, it is very convenient to radiate the achievements of industrialization to Lingnan Province, South Sichuan Province, and Yunnan Province."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you have convinced me, so I will follow your advice."

"Okay." Seeing this, Mr. Chen felt a little relieved.

At this time, Fan Li suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs attention. The sea route from Jiaozhou Port to Jiaodong Port needs to pass through the Yizhou Strait, and the Penghu Fleet of Bawang City has already carried out regular inspections in this sea area. I am worried about the future. Large-scale transportation of coal will be intercepted by the Penghu fleet."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "This is indeed a problem. But Fan Qing doesn't have to worry too much. According to the military plan formulated by the General Administration of Military Affairs, if the war in Yunnan goes well, this problem will be solved."

The problem Fan Li mentioned strengthened Ouyang Shuo's determination to take the opportunity to solve Yizhou Island.

"Since the emperor has considered everything, I don't have to worry about it." Fan Li said.

Having said that, Fan Li still has some doubts in his heart, he is not only a business sage, but also quite proficient in military affairs. Fan Li couldn't imagine how the result of the Yunnan War would affect the Yizhou Strait.

It's just that military secrets are involved, and Fan Li, as the director of finance, is not easy to ask.

Seeing that Fan Li had finished speaking, Mr. Chen went on to say, "Your Majesty, there is one more matter that the Industry Department needs to submit to Your Majesty for a personal decision. It is about the authorization of loom and steam engine manufacturing technology. Is it necessary to authorize the technology to relevant allies? When? Authorization? How to define the scope of authorization?"

Old Chen asked three questions in a row.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo was well prepared and said, "Since the loom and the steam engine have been manufactured, Shanhai City is already one step ahead, so let's not be filthy, and authorize what should be authorized. It's just one thing, we can't authorize blindly. Gu’s opinion is to authorize steam engine manufacturing technology to Luofeng City and Obstinate Stone City in the north. They are all large coal-producing areas, and with the assistance of steam engines, the efficiency of coal mining will be greatly accelerated.”

"As for Xichu, we can't authorize technology, but we can sell finished steam engines to them to help Xichu upgrade its coal industry. For Black Lion City and Xunlong City in the south, we will authorize loom technology. Silkworm breeding is mainly in the south Region-based, they have steam engines, which can also promote the industrial upgrading of their respective territories."

Ouyang Shuo's strategy is to authorize items separately. In this way, the limit of five territories will not be exceeded, the two technologies will be popularized in China, and the strength of allies will be enhanced.

"The specific licensing contract is up to your industrial department to draw up." Ouyang Shuo ordered.

Old Chen nodded, "Understood."

At this moment, someone stood up to object, and it was Yingyou, "Your Majesty, I have no objection to authorizing the loom technology to Black Lion City. But Xunlong City, should you think about it again?"

When Yingyou said this, the atmosphere in the study room was a bit subtle.

Xunlong City and Shanhai City are having an unhappy fight, and none of the important officials present knows it. Fan Li and the others also couldn't understand Jun Shang Cai's decision, but it was hard to say it out.

It was Yingyou who boldly uncovered the scar.

When Ouyang Shuo heard this, instead of being angry, he smiled, how could he not consider Yingyou's question. Such a decision makes sense.

Xunlong City is alienated from Shanhai City, and may even betray the alliance. But before Xunlongdiandian made any substantive actions, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to treat them differently.

In particular, Lingnan has just been pacified, and the war in the west is about to start. Maintaining a relatively calm east is obviously more in line with the strategic layout of Shanhai City.

If Xunlong City is treated differently now, with the character of Xunlong tapping acupoints to make a fool of himself, I don't know what troubles will arise.
