The second day of the second month of the first year of Daxia.
The first high-level economic forum summit in the history of Daxia was officially held at noon in the Xuande Hall of Daxia.
The participants included eighteen prefects and four governors, one of whom was Tuoba Kang, the governor of Chi Lechuan.
As well as Dong Kangping, the Minister of Revenue, and Li Cai, the Minister of Commerce in the secondary capital Nanjing.
The participants from the Daxia Central Committee included Yun Xiyan, Minister of Commerce of Guanyun City, Nangong Yiyu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Meng Changping, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue You Xianzhi, and two secretaries, Wen Canghai and Liu Jin.
The Great Xia Emperor Fu Xiaoguan personally presided over this conference.
"... Focusing on economic development is Daxia's current basic policy. Remember, the economic base determines the superstructure. Only through economic revitalization can the nation be revitalized, and Daxia can truly stand tall on this vast continent."
"As a Daotai, my first priority is to liberate your minds and look at economic issues from a developmental perspective."
"...The forum is a place where people can speak freely. I've called you here to hear your opinions and suggestions on the economy, as well as your development plans for your administration."
"Please speak up and don't be afraid of saying something wrong. I don't believe in punishing people for their speech. Who's going first?"
Fu Xiaoguan stood in the audience, looking up at his high-ranking officials.
Qin Mowen stood up first. He bowed to Fu Xiaoguan and said:
"I am in charge of the Northwest Province of Beijing. By the end of last year, the infrastructure of the Northwest Province of Beijing was basically completed. This year, my plan is to stabilize agriculture, introduce rice seeds and sweet potatoes, and develop the livestock industry in the countryside."
"At the same time, I will rely on the construction of Chang'an to open up the Changling Mountains and build a major economic channel between the northwest of Beijing and Chi Lechuan..."
Qin Mowen spoke eloquently for a whole incense stick's time, elaborating in detail on the important things that the government of Northwest Beijing would have to do in the next two years... that is, in the last two years of Daxia's first five-year plan.
This involves industry, agriculture, education and so on.
His words immediately opened the minds of some officials, and they realized that their focus was still too low - it was not their fault. In the past, as long as people did not starve to death and no one rebelled under their rule, it was the greatest achievement.
But times have changed!
What Your Majesty wants is development!
What is important is to look at economic issues from a developmental perspective.
Your Majesty has already set the tone of focusing on economic development, so Daxia’s national policy will not change for a long time to come.
Economics is a big topic that covers a wide range of areas.
There are many things that can be done here, but they just haven't thought about it before.
Qin Mowen's speech was undoubtedly a success. He received warm applause from the crowd and was praised by Fu Xiaoguan.
"An official should be like Qin Mowen!"
“Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, and governing a country is the same.”
"To make a delicious dish, you need to choose the right ingredients and season them well. Then, you need to control the heat. If the fire is too strong, a delicious dish might get burnt. If the fire is too low, the dish will be lukewarm, and by the time it's ready, the people might be starving."
Fu Xiaoguan's words caused everyone to think deeply, especially the young officials, who were eager to achieve success and had to resort to some means.
After hearing these words, they finally understood that revitalizing the economy was not as simple as using drastic measures to treat a serious illness.
It needs to proceed step by step and develop steadily. As a Taoist priest, you are the one who is in charge of the cooking.
The quality of a dish depends entirely on your own hands.
The atmosphere became much more lively afterwards.
With Qin Mowen's blueprint, they organized the planning ideas that had been in their minds and expressed them at this conference.
It is obviously unrealistic to say how much innovation there is here, but the key is stability.
This was within Fu Xiaoguan's expectations. In fact, the development of Daxia now really needs stability.
But Fujiwara Aki's subsequent speech surprised Fu Xiaoguan, especially the two plans proposed by Fujiwara Aki, which made Fu Xiaoguan take them seriously.
General aviation, scheduled flights.
In this way, a connection will be formed between the inland and the Far East. People in the inland and the Far East can plan their travel based on flights, and thus communication between the two places will gradually be formed.
As long as the population is moving, it will drive the prosperity of business - mainland merchants will become interested in the Far East market and invest in the Far East.
Merchants from the Far East will also become interested in the mainland and come to do business there.
This is very good. Fu Xiaoguan himself almost forgot about the Far East Road.
Fujiwara Aki's other plan was to develop the tourism industry... No one had ever mentioned tourism before.
Because everyone was poor in the past, traveling was an activity for the rich.
But now with the recovery of Daxia's economy, it is hard to say that there are ordinary people who don't want to go to the sea to take a look. After all, it was once a foreign country, and it would be nice to see the exotic scenery.
After this tourism idea was put forward, it also attracted the attention of Tuoba Kang. Once the lavender all over the mountains in Ziqizhou blooms, it is simply beautiful.
Chi Lechuan has vast grasslands, beautiful lavender, and herds of cattle and sheep. Tourism can also be developed to boost the economy.
Despite all these factors, this view has attracted the attention of all the provincial governors. However, no one has a clear idea of the tourism market.
In Fu Xiaoguan's view, this already involves the tertiary service industry. If it wants to flourish, it will probably have to wait until the second five-year plan.
The service industry should be included in the formulation of the second five-year plan.
The economic forum lasted for two days.
On the first day, everyone, including the three prime ministers, expressed their opinions.
The second day is for summary and induction.
Fu Xiaoguan affirmed everyone's plan, but analyzed it one by one, pointing out the problems that existed in some plans at present, but it would be an extremely brilliant move to slow down and wait until the time was right.
At the end of the meeting, Fu Xiaoguan established a policy of holding an economic forum summit every two years. At the next summit, all the prefects would review their gains and losses and make new local economic plans again.
"Why do I attach so much importance to the economy? Because the development of science and technology cannot be separated from the support of the economy. Conversely, every step forward in science and technology, and the development of new equipment, can promote the progress of social productivity, thereby accelerating economic development."
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they require strong economic strength to support them. The first five-year plan still has two years left, and during these two years, we must consolidate Daxia's economic foundation."
"In the next five-year plan, Daxia will fully enter the industrial revolution, and even leap into the second industrial revolution."
"You will see trains running very fast on the road, capable of carrying thousands of people at a time, and you will also see passenger ships that can travel from Jiangcheng to Jinling in two days, and so on."
"That will be the era when Daxia truly takes off. Everyone, don't be surprised. Let's wait and see!"
