Zhu Zi'an said: "I would like to hear the details, and I also ask Brother Shi for advice."
Shi Chengwu said: "What is the most important thing in the East China Sea region at the moment? Zian, you have been in Hangzhou for so long, and you have come into contact with a lot of information. You should know it?"
Zhu Zi'an thought for a while and said, "Brother Shi is referring to the move of the capital, right?"
Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "That's right. Our country will move the capital from Sanya to Hangzhou. This is a major project that will take several years. In order to ensure the normal operation of the country and ensure the smooth progress of the capital relocation plan, the East China Sea Region must concentrate All the resources. But if we want to deal with the problem of the water transport system at this time, we will inevitably need to invest a lot of human resources outside the ruled area, and we may even need to mobilize the army to cooperate. The impact will be unpredictable. We’re not going to risk it either.”
How important the plan to move the capital is to Haihan, Zhu Zian actually doesn't need Shi Chengwu to make more explanations.During the time he came to the East China Sea region, he could get access to information related to the capital relocation plan almost all the time, and even followed Shi Chengwu and others to visit several construction sites of related projects.
The East China Sea Region invested countless resources for this purpose. Compared with it, the Caofu Yamen's embezzlement of the supplies from the water transportation task is indeed insignificant.Moreover, in the case of poor water transportation, the most affected area is actually the north, and the East China Sea region will not feel the same way. Naturally, the priority of dealing with the water transportation problem is not so high.
Shi Chengwu continued: "Zian, you haven't been here for too long, maybe you don't understand how many people in our country are busy with moving the capital, Hongfang and the others must have a clearer understanding."
Tao Hongfang responded: "I will transfer a few people from Sanya to Hangzhou. In fact, the most important task is to inspect the progress of the preparations for the relocation of the capital here. Many official departments and factories on Hainan Island are starting to do long-distance relocation. Preparations are underway. The Executive Committee will not allow any incidents that affect the plan to move the capital to occur, and if there is, it must be controlled outside our country's ruling area."
Tao Hongfang and others were transferred by the Executive Committee to Hangzhou on business, which to a certain extent represented the attitude of the Executive Committee.What he said was undoubtedly clearly telling Zhu Zian that even if the East China Sea Region wanted to intervene in water transport affairs, the executive committee would most likely not agree.At least at this juncture, the Executive Committee does not want the East China Sea Region to use limited resources to deal with these things that are easy to cause complications.
Zhu Zian said: "Then I don't know how to understand the second point Brother Shi said?"
Shi Chengwu said: "The various ills related to the water transportation system have been deeply rooted. It can be said that it is a century-old disease. It is extremely difficult to eradicate them. Even if we replace the officials in charge of water transportation affairs, it is difficult to change the operation of the water transportation system in a short time. Rules. To solve this problem, we have to try to start from the root cause and figure it out gradually.”
Shi Chengwu paused, and asked Zhu Zian: "Zi'an, tell me, why is water transportation so important?"
Zhu Zian knew a little about this, so he immediately responded: "This is a necessary means to maintain the rule of the Central Plains. In the past dynasties, the public grain, taxes, and tribute paid by the southern region have to be transported to the northern capital. Water transport is the safest method. The shipping cost is also the cheapest. During the Ming Dynasty, millions of grains were transported to the north via water transport alone every year, which can be called the lifeblood of the country.”
Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "But the transportation capacity of inland rivers is limited, especially those sections of artificial canals. The water depth is not enough to pass large ships, and the river channels are also extremely narrow. During peak transportation periods, congestion may even form on the canals. Can we find a better way of transportation and share a part of the volume from inland water transport?"
How could Zhu Zi'an not understand what he meant, and immediately responded: "Brother Shi is talking about shipping by sea, right? But the sea ban was implemented in the Ming Dynasty, and it was only gradually loosened in the Longqing period. At this time, the water transportation system has already been formed. The method is already very difficult. Only part of the military rations are transported to the north by sea from the navy, and most of the public rations are still transported by inland rivers."
Shi Chengwu asked: "Obviously the shipping efficiency is higher and the shipping cost is lower, why can't it be changed?"
Zhu Zi'an sighed: "I think it's because of profit. There are millions of water workers who need food and clothing. If the water grain is handed over to the sea, the livelihood of these tens of thousands of people will be worrying. Moreover, the state capitals along the water transport line are probably also I don’t want to give up this piece of fragrant steamed bun, so if I want to change water transportation to sea transportation, I will definitely encounter great resistance in the court.”
Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "Zian still sees it quite clearly. The fundamental problem of water transportation is also here. If we gradually change the mode of transportation to sea transportation, we can greatly reduce the voyages that were originally in charge of water transportation. Wait for the role of water transportation It is not so important, and the resistance to promote reform will be much smaller."
What Shi Chengwu said was not complicated, but it was very difficult for Daming to implement such a plan, especially after Hai Han appeared, it became even more impossible to do so.Because Haihan only took about ten years to control the strategic locations on the coastline of Daming, such as the Fujian Strait, the Yangtze River Estuary, and the Bohai Bay. Low inland water transport.
And if you want to change this situation, only Hai Han can do it.Haihan's current shipping capacity has surpassed any dynasty in history, and the shipping of bulk materials between the north and the south has long been familiar with the road. It is not only a theoretical possibility to move the transportation tasks of the water transportation system to the sea.
Shi Chengwu continued: "The speed of sea transportation is faster, the freight is lower, and the transportation capacity is larger. The routes and cargo ships are ready-made. Compared with inland water transportation, the advantages are very obvious."
Zhu Zian asked: "If we act like this, it will definitely cause a large number of jobless workers. How can we prevent these people from becoming refugees?"
Shi Chengwu said: "So as I said before, this matter can only be gradually planned, while promoting the operation of water transport to the sea, while absorbing unemployed water workers. Similar to inland water systems such as the Yangtze River, Pearl River, Qiantang River, Yellow River, and Liao River, in terms of navigation conditions They all have great potential for development and will still need a large number of boatmen and sailors in the future, which can just absorb the layoffs of the water transport system. But if we want to reduce the impact and make a smooth transition, it will not work in three to five years."
Zhu Zi'an sighed: "If this century-old disease can be solved in three to five years, it would be a good deal. Brother Shi's advice has really benefited me a lot!"
Shi Chengwu said: "As long as the root cause of the problem is found, it is not difficult to formulate a solution. However, before implementing this set of solutions, there is still a prerequisite that must be fulfilled."
