The argument about the poor population in northern Jiangsu may have originated from the fact that many Su Beiren people went to Shanghai to make a living in the early days of reform and opening up. Please note that everyone was poor at that time, and Shanghai was relatively rich. As far as I know, the number of people from Yancheng to Shanghai at that time was the largest in northern Jiangsu. Therefore, Yancheng people in Shanghai are representatives of northern Jiangsu. Later, it turned out that smart and diligent Yancheng people penetrated into various industries in Shanghai. This is Shanghai cheese. Besides, they were poor at first. People in Shanghai must have many unaccustomed customs. This gave Shanghainese a first impression of northern Jiangsu. The arrival of reform and opening up first stimulated the great development of coastal areas, and Jiangsu also focused on southern Jiangsu along the river. Southern Jiangsu said that due to historical reasons, northern Jiangsu may be relatively poor, but in recent ten years, the policy has gradually begun to tilt towards northern Jiangsu.

In recent years, Lianyungang has invested a lot of money to develop and improve infrastructure. Lianyungang will open at least three high-speed trains, which shows that the province attaches great importance to the development of northern Jiangsu. Talk about the economic level of Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu. As we all know, Jiangsu's economic level is the second in the country, and all the 13 prefecture-level cities in the province are in the front 100 (333 prefecture-level cities in the country), and Suqian's economic aggregate is the weakest. In 20 16 years, it will reach more than 220 billion. What is this concept? Suqian ranks in the top four among the three provinces of Henan, Anhui and Jiangxi 18 prefecture-level cities, second only to the provincial capital cities. For another example, Xuzhou's brother Xuzhou's economic aggregate exceeds 580 billion yuan, ranking 30 th in the country, killing nearly 90% of the prefecture-level cities in the country. Xuzhou's economic aggregate ranks 15 among 27 provincial capital cities, killing nearly half of the provincial capital cities in a few seconds.

In terms of transportation, Subei has made great efforts to develop high-speed rail in recent years, but expressway will not mention it. The roads in Jiangsu Province rank in the top three in the country, and the quality of roads in Jiangsu Province is well-known throughout the country. Of course, the bridges in Shandong are also very strong. The most touching thing is that there are obvious feelings from Anhui toll station to Jiangsu. The slogan of Jiangsu Expressway is to let the most remote people get on the expressway within half an hour. Now it seems that this goal has been achieved. Realize. Jiangsu's high-speed rail is now the largest in the country and is still under construction. In 2020, at least five new high-speed trains will be opened, connecting southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Qingdao and Yantai, expanding the radiation area and promoting local economic development. In terms of ground transportation, there are BRT buses in Yancheng and Lianyungang in northern Jiangsu. Four subway lines in Xuzhou are under construction. Yancheng subway is under review, and Yancheng indoor viaduct has been completed.
