Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

The industry in the Western Regions was not well developed at that time.

In the entire industrial system, there are two major industries.

The first is the raw ore, and the second is limestone.

There isn't even a decent processing plant.

But even so, it still supports tens of thousands of workers.

After all, in this era, everything is lacking.

Whether it is lime or various mineral raw materials.

As long as it exists, there is a place to collect it.

However, the transportation distance is too long, and both transportation cost and time have become huge problems.

This also leads to the situation that something that originally earned one dollar only ends up being worth two or three cents.

Because of this, the economy of the Western Regions has been in a state of only progressing but not advancing.

The workers' wages have not increased by a penny in ten years and have been hovering around ten yuan.

Zhao Liming knew that in order to objectively solve these problems, he had to start from three aspects.

The first is transportation.

The Western Regions are too vast, and the climate and environment are harsh.

If you want to ship out a truckload of goods, it will take at least half a month.

Therefore, transportation must be developed to solve the most basic problems.

Next, you need to have your own processing plant.

Let’s put it this way!

You might only make ten dollars by transporting a truckload of raw materials.

What if it is a processed mine?

At least hundreds or thousands.

This is the gap.

And then there is the market.

The current Western Region market is too single.

cattle and sheep livestock, as well as limestone and ore raw materials.

The rest basically have no market.

But what does the country need now?

That’s right, it’s diverse commercialization.

As a huge province with vast territory and abundant resources, how can it not produce a variety of goods?

No.

it can.

Not only that.

Moreover, it can lead the country and even the world.

Therefore, Zhao Liming’s first step is to build the Western Region into a diversified super province.

After all, this place is not like Yuncheng, where everything has to be imported or supplied by other cities.

It is not like Nanzhou, where resources are so single.

Here, you can be self-sufficient in anything you can think of in the country.

Under this unique condition.

If it cannot become a major economic province, it only means that Zhao Liming is too useless.

Of course, as I said before, if you want to develop the economy, you must first build roads.

Building roads is definitely the first step.

The next step is to determine the next industrial system.

The lime plant and the ore raw material plant must no longer be used.

Not to mention the low cost, this kind of factory will one day be eliminated by the times.

If this is the expectation, it is better to eliminate it yourself.

So, next, Zhao Liming identified five major industrial systems.

First, the ore processing plant has high profits and low costs, which is very suitable for the current Western Region.

The second is oil extraction. In the previous life, oil extraction in the Western Region would not be possible until decades later, but by that time, oil was no longer popular.

Therefore, Zhao Liming had to lead the people of the Western Regions to enjoy some benefits in advance.

The third is the military-industrial system. It is also transporting a large amount of raw materials. Why can't they just keep them and make a batch of finished products to be shipped out?

The fourth is a textile processing factory. You should know that 90% of the cotton in the country in later generations came from the Western Regions.

One can imagine how high the cotton production in the Western Regions is.

So, again, with such high cotton production, why can't we make our own textiles?

The fifth is food processing.

Whether in later generations or in this era, the cuisine of the Western Regions is actually very diverse.

But there are really too few people coming to the Western Regions.

I have never tasted Western food.

If we open up the market for Western cuisine ahead of time at this time, we will definitely be able to occupy the national market.

Zhao Liming's five industrial system suggestions caused the whole audience to boil with excitement.

It’s not that they haven’t thought about these issues.

But it is too difficult to implement.

Also, how much money would it cost for such a big move?

However, after Zhao Liming mentioned the money that was found in the house of Zhang Jun and his wife, everyone shut up.

That's right.

When Zhao Liming took over Mingyue City, he also looted the treasury in Zhang Jun and Hong Tianbao's homes.

An entire vault of cash plus various jewellery.

It was as high as over 200 million yuan.

You know, this was still the early 1980s!

People still lived in an era when meat cost only a few cents per pound.

But what about Zhang Jun?

Her personal property reached hundreds of millions.

One can imagine how much of the people's wealth her Zhang family has extorted over the years.

Now that we have a plan and money, it’s time to take action.

But soon, Zhao Liming discovered the biggest problem.

That's manpower.

At this time, it is true that a big move is taking place in the Western Regions.

But what about people?

Where do you go to find someone?

Even if we have the people, what about the technical personnel?

Where are you looking for it?

So, every aspect becomes a problem.

If one person can hold multiple positions within the system.

However, when it comes to development, one person cannot hold multiple positions.

Instead, hire a professional.

Fortunately, Ni Ni reminded Zhao Liming with just one word.

Don’t they have a large number of volunteers to aid the Western Regions?

This sentence undoubtedly reminded Zhao Liming.

Zhao Liming not only mobilized a large number of volunteers to assist the Western Regions.

The document was immediately issued to everyone, and the Western Region welcomed a large number of volunteers to come and make contributions.

Perhaps this document will be insignificant in future generations?

But in this glorious era, it feels like a national call to action.

It is said that in just three days, the number of volunteers who signed up across the country to assist the Western Regions exceeded one million.

Especially after hearing that he followed the mayor of Yuncheng City and former secretary of the Nanzhou Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Liming, to build the Western Region.

Talents from all over the country are pouring in like mushrooms after rain.

After all, Yuncheng is the best proof. Now that such a good opportunity is right in front of us, who would be willing to let it go?

With the participation of volunteers from all over the country, Zhao Liming's work pressure became greater and he had more things to do.

Because next, we not only have to deal with the issue of the entire Western Region construction, but also have to worry about the food and accommodation problems of millions of volunteers.

He needs to handle all of these step by step.

As I said, there are too few people who can do things.

Although Zhang Jun left him a lot of important personnel.

But the problem is that these people are basically good-for-nothings.

It's okay to brag and flatter.

But when it comes to actually doing it, I don't know anything.

Even...most of them are not even recognizable.

Zhao Liming really didn't understand how such a person could get into such a circle.

However, it is precisely because of this that Zhao Liming's desire for talent has reached its extreme.

He still followed the example of Nanzhou, opened a party school and served as its principal.

Cultivate young cadres.

After all, most of these volunteers are intellectuals.

It is also much easier to cultivate from among them.
