It is said that Fengxian, Peixian and Gaochun counties will be included in Anhui during NPC and CPPCC meetings. Is it true?/You don't say.

It is estimated that it is unlikely. This is a typical dictatorship. No one can represent the 300 million++million people in the three counties of Fengpeichun, and the people in the three counties will not agree!

Look what a bunch of lunatics have done. If Jiangsu does not want us, we would rather be autonomous, and the people of our three counties will not compromise. I hope the people of the whole country will support the people's democratic dictatorship! ! ! Oppose dictatorship! ! !

There have been some rumors about the zoning system in Xuzhou recently, as follows.

Rumor 1: Pei county in Fengxian county is classified as Anhui province.

Distribute Fengxian, Peixian and Gaochun counties in Jiangsu to An Wei, and Anhui Tianchang to Jiangsu.

Jiangsu Province is divided into 24 administrative units, namely:

Sub-provincial cities (under the jurisdiction of several districts and counties [cities] as the deputy department level):

1. Nanjing-(including: former Nanjing urban area and Lishui)

2. Suzhou (including Suzhou, Changshu, Taicang, Kunshan and Wujiang)

3. Wuxi (including Wuxi, Jiangyin, Zhangjiagang and Jingjiang)

4. Xuzhou City (including the former Xuzhou City and Tongshan) is a department-level city (several districts are under its jurisdiction, and [city] is a county-level city).

5. Changzhou (including Changzhou, Yixing, Jintan and liyang city)

6 Zhenjiang City (including Zhenjiang City, Yangzhong City, jurong city City and Danyang City)

7. Nantong (including Nantong, Tongzhou, Haimen, Qidong and Rugao)

8. Yangzhou City (including former Yangzhou City, Jiangdu City and Yizheng City)

9 Taizhou City (including former Taizhou City, Taixing City and Jiangyan City)

10. Yancheng (including former Yancheng, Du Yan, Jianhu, Funing and Sheyang)

1 1. Huai 'an City (including former Huai 'an City and Lianshui City)

12. Lianyungang city (including former Lianyungang city, Guanyun county and guannan county city)

Sub-county-level cities (under the jurisdiction of several sub-county-level towns and department-level towns)

13. Dongtai City (including former Dongtai City, Rudong, Hai 'an and Dafeng)

14. xinghua city (including former xinghua city)

15. Gaobao (including former Gaoyou City and Baoying City)

16. Suqian City (including former Suqian City and Suilin)

17. Tianchang City (including the former Tianchang City of Anhui Province)

18. Xuyi County (including the original Xuyi County, Jinhu and Hongze)

19. xinyi city (including xinyi city and Pizhou)

20. Shuyang County (including the former Shuyang)

2 1. Sizhou County (including Sihong County and Siyang County)

22. Binhai County (including former Binhai County and Xiangshui County)

24 Donghai County (including Donghai County of Jiangxi Province and Chongqing City)

The province is divided into three regions:

Five cities in southern Jiangsu: Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang.

Six cities (counties) in Central Jiangsu: Nantong, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Dongtai, xinghua city and Gaobao.

*** 12 cities (counties) in northern Jiangsu: Xuzhou, Yancheng, Huai 'an, Lianyungang, Suqian, Tianchang, Xuyi, Sizhou, Shuyang, Binhai, Xinyi and Donghai.

In order to achieve the goal of regional coordinated development, southern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu are divided into six groups, and the assessment indicators of each group are tied together. City leaders in southern Jiangsu are the first responsible persons of each group, and are endowed with greater cross-regional coordination rights:

Group A: Nanjing (South)-Yangzhou (Middle)-Tianchang (North)-Xuyi (North)

Group B: Suzhou (South)-Gaobao (Middle)-Suqian (North)-Shuyang (North)

Group C: Wuxi (South)-Taizhou (Middle)-Binhai (North) Sizhou (North)

Group D: Changzhou (South)-Rugao (Middle)-Xuzhou (North)-Xinyi (North)

Group E: Zhenjiang (South)-Dongtai (Middle)-Huai 'an (North)-Donghai (North)

Group F: Nantong (South)-Xinghua (Middle)-Yancheng (North)-Lianyungang (North)

Myth 2: Xuzhou is a municipality directly under the central government or a province built in Huaihai.

Confusion and dream of "Xu Huai"

"Embarrassed Xuzhou"

Just like the situation of "cooperation on the table and black legs flying under the table" in the Yangtze River Delta region, the "dark war" in the border areas of northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong, eastern Henan and northwestern Anhui is also continuous. Xuzhou is the geographical center of this battlefield.

Looking at the location of Xuzhou on the map, we can feel some embarrassment: it is located on a "corner" protruding from the northwest of Jiangsu Province, with Xuzhou as the center, but more than 30 kilometers north, which is Shandong; The same distance in the southwest is Anhui; 50 kilometers to the west is Henan.

Many people in Xuzhou may not know that Xuzhou also has a "Huaihai Economic Zone Liaison Office". Cai Yalin, director of this liaison office, said that Huaihai Economic Zone was established in March 1986 and should be the earliest regional economic cooperation organization in China. Its members are all "bitter children" cities located in northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong, eastern Henan and northeastern Anhui (with relatively backward economic development and less right to speak in the province). Now, it has developed into an economic cooperation organization spanning 4 provinces, 20 cities and 147 counties (cities, districts). The population of the area is 65.438+0.2 billion, and the area is 65.438+0.79 million square kilometers.

However, Cai admits that "cooperation is relative and competition is absolute".

The biggest headache for Xuzhou people is Shandong (southern Shandong) in the north. First, among many competitors, Shandong has the strongest economic strength; Secondly, it is said that Jiangsu's policy is far less flexible than Shandong's.

This kind of competition is reflected in all levels of market economy elements: raw materials, capital, market, talents, policies (such as taxes) and so on.

Shen Zhengping, deputy dean of the School of Urban and Environmental Studies of Xuzhou Normal University, recently made a survey and did not get very exact data-because "many things are reflected in actions, but they are not written on paper". But the survey has yielded many facts, which can basically cover all links in an economic chain:

The electricity price in southern Shandong is nearly 0. 1 yuan cheaper than that in northern Jiangsu. This is because Shandong is an independent Shandong power grid (while Jiangsu belongs to a unified East China power grid), and Shandong Province has the right to control it. We can cooperate with Qixin to support the development of southern Shandong and reduce electricity prices.

Shandong cement, which is originally low in cost, can also enjoy the preferential policies of the local government similar to "export tax rebate" (including reduction, subsidy and tax rebate, ranging from tens of yuan/ton to hundreds of yuan/ton). Small cement in northern Jiangsu is shutting down and going bankrupt, while small cement in southern Shandong is rapidly moving south to seize the Jiangsu market at low cost.

The rapid development of small cement, small paper making and small chemical industry in Shandong often causes pollution, and northern Jiangsu often bears the consequences. Because the north is high and the south is low, the sewage discharged along the yi river and Shuhe rivers in Shandong Province finally reaches Jiangsu through the Pi (Zhou) Cang (Shan) flood diversion canal. It is said that in 2003, this "foreign" pollution caused Xuzhou's water supply dilemma for more than a month.

Also, many enterprises in southern Shandong (especially consumer enterprises such as beer) prefer to hire "consultants" in northern Jiangsu when they are doing market development, because Su Beiren knows the market in northern Jiangsu better and is more familiar with the "routines" in northern Jiangsu. ...

Therefore, when Rizhao City, Shandong Province claimed to be the "bridgehead at the eastern end of the Eurasian Continental Bridge", Lianyungang, which claimed to be the "bridgehead at the eastern end of the Eurasian Continental Bridge" more than a decade ago, had no choice but to argue and smile. Of course, foreign friends and even most people in China don't know which is the real "bridgehead".

Rizhao and Lianyungang are "enemies", which is just a small topic. It is said that as a "brother city" located in Huaihai Economic Zone, Lunan pursues a "one-on-one" strategy, and the "enemies" of "seizing power" are Jining and Zaozhuang against Xuzhou, Linyi against Xinyi (a county-level city with relatively developed economy under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou), and Linyi and Rizhao against Lianyungang. Of course, the strategy is to fight for products and investment (projects). Of course, the specific strategies are all operated in practice, and not a word falls on paper.

The front line is very long, that is, along the irregular and relatively flat V-shaped provincial boundary between the two provinces.

Xuzhou (including the whole northern Jiangsu) certainly has a similar strategy. For example, it is more expensive for Jiangsu coal to be transported to Shandong, Henan and Anhui than in the province, but they often feel overwhelmed. Because, when Qi Xin, a Shandong native, worked together to develop southern Shandong, northern Jiangsu was still the "daughter area" of Jiangsu. The policy is "far less flexible than Shandong", and the support given by the Jiangsu provincial government seems to be much smaller.

Xuzhou is Jiangsu's "daughter area" and "colony". During the interview, these two words appeared in the mouths of local officials and scholars in Xuzhou many times. Ordinary people do not have such a conclusion, but they have the most intuitive feeling: Xuzhou's development is too slow.

The road in Xuzhou is very narrow. One of the best roads was left by Yu Guangzhou, the current Vice Minister of Commerce, when he was the mayor of Xuzhou in the late 1990s. Become a "popular project" in Xuzhou.

Before 1953, Xuzhou was under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province (the prototype of "Flying Tigers" was the "Lunan Railway Team" which was active in this area in history), but it was assigned to Jiangsu in that year because there was no coal-producing area in Jiangsu Province, and Xuzhou was the nearest coal-producing area.

This determines the historical position of Xuzhou in Jiangsu. A local official in Xuzhou still remembers what the governor of Jiangsu Province said during his inspection in Xuzhou in the 1980s. "He said that as long as you provide enough coal and food in Xuzhou, you don't have to worry about the rest."

This state is now "changing, but it has not been fundamentally changed." As a result, raw materials such as grain, cotton and coal produced in Xuzhou are continuously transported to southern Jiangsu: "Northern Jiangsu has contributed, while southern Jiangsu has benefited".

The visible data is that 1984, the ratio of gross national product (GDP) of southern Jiangsu and Su Beiren was 2.23: 1, and in 2002, this figure became 3.74: 1. In the same period, the ratio between the east and the west of China was 2.58: 1. "Subei is the west of Jiangsu, more western than the west."

The idea of promoting the development of northern Jiangsu is to cooperate with the implementation of the national strategy of "western development" In 200 1 year, the Jiangsu provincial government held the "Symposium on Regional Development in Northern Jiangsu" and issued the "Opinions on Further Accelerating the Development of Northern Jiangsu", but "the strategy of developing along the Yangtze River has not been fully implemented."

In fact, the strategy to promote the development of northern Jiangsu has come to an abrupt end because the whole of southern Jiangsu is superior to northern Jiangsu's "tradition": when the Yangtze River Delta undertook the transfer of manufacturing industries around the world and became a huge workshop of the world's factories, northern Jiangsu could hardly see the same input and output due to the lack of location, history and development stage.

"Xuzhou metropolitan area"

A senior official in Jiangsu province told a joke during an inspection in Xuzhou. He said that in accelerating local economic development, southern Jiangsu is "crazy", central Jiangsu is "anxious" and northern Jiangsu is "in a daze".

There is also a "historical tradition": as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, the first seedling of China's market economy had sprouted in southern Jiangsu; Northern Jiangsu is the place where China's traditional culture (agricultural civilization) has accumulated the most. Xuzhou is famous because it is the hometown of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.

However, Su Beiren still feels aggrieved: few people may believe that Xuzhou is one of the three cities in Jiangsu Province that have not been opened to the outside world so far (the other two are Huai 'an and Suqian). Therefore, when the strategic planning of "Xuzhou Metropolitan Area", which had been rumored for some time, came to an abrupt end and was replaced by "Development Strategy along the Yangtze River", Xuzhou people felt a great sense of loneliness.

The strategic planning of "three metropolitan areas" was put forward immediately after 200 1 Jiangsu decided to promote the development of northern Jiangsu. The blueprint of this strategy is to build three metropolitan areas centered on Suzhou, Nanjing and Xuzhou (including Lianyungang at first) in southern Jiangsu, southwestern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, thus forming a pattern in which metropolitan areas drive the common development of surrounding areas.

However, when Shanghai officially implemented the "173 Plan" in April 2003, and Suzhou and Kunshan in southern Jiangsu were taken as clear competition targets, in June, Jiangsu immediately put forward the "development strategy along the Yangtze River", and the plan to promote the development and construction of three metropolitan areas in northern Jiangsu vanished.

In line with the strategy of "developing along the Yangtze River", northern Jiangsu has implemented the development strategy of "East Longhai Industrial Belt", that is, taking Xuzhou and Lianyungang as the center, regional industrial communities such as resource industry and marine industry will be formed in the east of Longhai Railway in Jiangsu Province.

In the eyes of Xuzhou people, this is obviously another comforting arrangement for northern Jiangsu after giving southern Jiangsu an opportunity. When the planned industrial belt is formed, its radiation range to Jiangsu Province (north) can only be limited to this short 20-50 kilometers. Is the provincial capital of Jiangsu willing to regard this place as the strategic center of economic development?

In Zhu Chuangeng's report, there is an analysis of the influence of the "strategy along the Yangtze River" on the economic development of northern Jiangsu. "In the long run, the positive effects outweigh the negative effects, but in the short term, the negative effects outweigh the positive effects."

Most of the positive effects he saw were "virtual effects", including stimulating the development vitality of northern Jiangsu, enhancing the sense of competition, activating the ability of innovation, and absorbing the economic spillover and industrial transfer along the Yangtze River; The negative effects seem to be in front of Su Beiren: it may lead to the loss of development opportunities in northern Jiangsu, the unreasonable flow and aggregation of production factors, unemployment in northern Jiangsu, the ripple effect of social instability factors, the strengthening of local protectionism, and irrational investment attraction.

A set of figures may explain the plight of northern Jiangsu: from now on, even if the development of southern Jiangsu stops and northern Jiangsu catches up with the development speed of 10%, it will take 14 years for the economic level of the two places to be flat; If the development speed of southern Jiangsu is 8% and northern Jiangsu is still 10%, it will take 72 years for northern Jiangsu to catch up with southern Jiangsu. Even if northern Jiangsu develops at a high speed of 15%, it still needs 2 1 year.

"Xu Huai Province" and "Xu Lian Municipality"

Perhaps breaking the existing zoning restrictions is the only rational choice.

Zhu Chuangeng used four "consistences" to describe the characteristics of Huaihai Economic Zone: the consistence of resources (which are the main producing areas of coal and grain), the consistence of industrial structure, the consistence of development stages and the consistence of regional conditions in Huaihai District (which are all along the eastern coast, including Lianyungang and Rizhao seaports). Shen Zhengping added another item: the consistency of humanistic accumulation (culture and customs).

In the opinion of experts, the five "consistences" in this area actually bind Huaihai District into a complete social plate. However, realistic conditions, especially the existence of provincial boundaries, have separated these consistency, and the final result is that it is difficult for production factors to flow normally and vicious competition emerges one after another. As Xuzhou people say, in Xuzhou, it has always been "only the city without a circle".

As a result, in a relatively superior area, the economic development in the eastern coastal areas of China has fallen into a low ebb. At the same time, northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong, eastern Henan and northeastern Anhui are just the low points on the GDP wave line of their provinces, which is what experts call "marginal effect".

Therefore, when there are multiple versions of the scheme with the reasonable setting of "50 provinces" on the network, "Xuhuai Province (Huaihai Province)" is among them in each scheme. Rumors about the establishment of Xuhuai Province have been in Xuzhou for at least three or four years. People who are more careful can find that no matter which version of "Xuhuai Province", it is generally consistent with the Huaihai Economic Zone that has existed for 18 years.

One of the schemes is designed as follows: "Huaihai Province consists of Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Binhai, Xiangshui, Guannan, Suqian, Huaibei, Bengbu, Suzhou, Bozhou, Shangqiu, Rizhao, Linyi, Jining and Heze, Shandong, with Xuzhou as the capital."

Another plan emphasizes that "the establishment of the new Huaihai Province will greatly promote the development of this region, and will activate Lianyungang as the leading role of the bridgehead of the new Eurasian continental bridge, which will greatly promote the development of the Huanghuaihai region."

However, most experts and officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs emphasize that provincial administrative divisions cannot be rashly promoted, so the recent reform may need to be carried out locally, and the reasonable arrangement is to increase municipalities directly under the central government. Suzhou in southern Jiangsu is a "hot spot" in the list of additional municipalities mentioned by the media before. But in the idea of Du Gangjian, a professor at China Administration College, "Xuzhou-Lianyungang" located in northern Jiangsu should also be included in this list.

In his vision, Xuzhou and Lianyungang in the future can be compared with Beijing and Tianjin now. One is a regional center and the other is a gateway to the outside world, which can benefit each other. The difference is that Beijing and Tianjin are two municipalities directly under the central government, while Xuzhou and Lianyungang will be classified as one municipality. The establishment of two municipalities directly under the Central Government and the tendency to emphasize Beijing and neglect Tianjin in more cases are important reasons for Tianjin's relatively backward development. However, Xuzhou and Lianyungang under the framework of municipalities directly under the Central Government have no such worries.

"It is not necessary to have a center, but the key is to cross-regional and promote the development of surrounding areas," Du Gangjian said. "We must also consider regional balance, not necessarily the developed areas in the east."

Officials and scholars interviewed in Du Gangjian and Xuzhou all believe that there is the possibility of integration in this respect. Undoubtedly, its most significant role is to break down the serious administrative barriers in this region, and to re-integrate its administrative resources and market resources, thus providing conditions for activating the economy of the ugliest "underdeveloped eastern region" in the eastern coastal economic map of China. "Unify the consistency of natural economy and regional planning, that is, the consistency of administrative resources, and form a joint force."

Compared with the more popular Suzhou and Qingdao, this choice seems to have more practical significance, because the areas it involves are undoubtedly relatively backward areas in the province. "The impact and shock will not be so great, nor will it involve more and more complicated conflicts of interest." Zhu Chuangeng emphasized that "the risk is much smaller." Moreover, setting up a municipality directly under the central government first is relatively less risky.

In his view, the future economic map of China should be a π-shape, with the upper "horizontal" being the coastal area, the lower "hook" on the right being along the Yangtze River valley, and the left "left" being exactly along the Longhai River with southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu as the eastern end. Only in this way can the strategy of promoting the west from the east and the east from the west be complete. Now, this key "skimming" has just become the line with the shortest "π" and the lowest radiation ability.

Proverbs 3: Xiaoxian and Dangshan belong to Xuzhou.

The abundant small party has been a family since ancient times, and it is the northern four counties of Xuzhou. Xiaoxian and Dangshan are much closer to Xuzhou than Huaibei. As a mining city, Huaibei has little economic contact with the two counties, especially Dangshan, which is far from Huaibei and has inconvenient transportation.

In fact, the coal resources in Huaibei city have been exhausted, and the industry is single, the location is remote, and the development prospect is not great. Suzhou is far superior to Huaibei in location and transportation, and has a greater development prospect.

Now, Xiaoxian and Dangshan are more willing to be re-assigned to Xuzhou. If Huaihai Province is established in the future, this problem will be better solved.

Proverbs 4: Jiangsu province's county management plan was introduced.

Cities directly under the provincial government 16: Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nantong, Taizhou, Yangzhou, Yancheng, Huai 'an, Lianyungang, Xuzhou, Suqian, Jiangyin, Changshu and Xinyi. County-level cities and counties are Yixing, Danyang, Jintan, liyang city, jurong city, Haimen, Qidong, Rugao, Taixing, Jiangyan, Yizheng, Gaoyou, xinghua city, Pizhou, Dongtai, Peixian, Fengxian, Suining, Donghai, Ganyu, Guanyun, Lianshui, Shuyang and Sihong. Gaochun and Lishui counties are still under the jurisdiction of Nanjing.

Attachment: Fengxian Han culture:

Fengxian, known as Fengyi in ancient times, was founded in the late Qin and early Han dynasties with a long history and many famous artists.

Wen Tianxiang wrote in "Looking Back on the Past": "Qin lost its deer, rich and beautiful, and princes will not be rich."

Celebrities Xiao He, Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty, writers Liu An and Liang Taizu, famous ministers Zhu Wen in the Qing Dynasty, champions Li Wei and Li Pan in Kangxi, and Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Taoism, were all in Fengxian County. Fengxian is the birthplace of Liu Bang, the first peasant emperor in the history of China, and is known as "the hometown of dragonflies and the hometown of emperors". The civilizations of the Han Dynasty come down in one continuous line and have a long history.

Cang Kejia said: "Feng Xiaoyi has been a hero since ancient times!"

I feel that only the fourth statement is somewhat reliable, and the others are impossible now. Now that the economy is in recession and the unemployment rate is falling, administrative divisions can't solve the problem of economic development quickly, and it takes a long time to coordinate and integrate. Otherwise, things will go wrong. At this time, it is better to make steady progress, just like stock index futures and growth enterprise market, just hearsay. As the chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission said, when the fruits are ripe, everything will come naturally.
