Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the meeting, Yang Qiu got the news that Jinnah had returned to China. Even if he was willing to cooperate, it would take time to plan, so Yang Qiu took this opportunity to put all his thoughts back into the country.  After several months of deliberation and careful study, I came to the Prime Minister's Office early with a draft plan.  This positive work attitude made Hu Weide joke: "If all officials across the country are like you, why worry about the country not being strong?"

    "Okay Xinwu, please stop flattering me. What I want most now is to resign and go home to sleep." Yang Qiu joked while scooping out the agricultural support plan from his bag.  This is the agricultural stimulus plan that he, Zhang Wenjing and others spent two months discussing and developing after the last meeting.

    Hu Weide smiled. Although it was a joke, everyone knows that once Congress completes the constitutional amendment to the presidential system, the position of vice president will completely become a symbol in the political circle, so it is not surprising that Yang Qiu resigned from this position.

    ¡°In fact, the Prime Minister¡¯s Office is also the institution that has benefited the most from the constitutional amendment, so whether it is for his own sake or out of repayment for Yang Qiu¡¯s kindness, Hu Weide is a senior government official who supports the constitutional amendment.  But he also knew that with the return of young people such as Wang Zhengting and Gu Weijun who had trained abroad, the transfer of Murong Han and Dong Yongwei, and the new generation of National Socialist Party members such as Kuang Xukun and Zeng Qi as ambassadors abroad, it was the second major transfer of power since the founding of the Republic of China.  already started.

    Hu Weide was surprised by the thick plan. He liked Yang Qiu's European and American working methods. He would write a detailed plan before doing anything, not only giving clear goals but also listing how to deal with problems when they encountered them.  , so that the people working below can see it at a glance.  But when he saw it, his expression changed, because Yang Qiu actually wanted to imitate the United States and subsidize agriculture and special industries on a large scale.

    The Republic of China has always implemented a policy of stabilizing food prices, curbing inflation, and ensuring a scissor gap between industry and commerce. Under this policy, food prices have basically remained unchanged except during large-scale disasters.  Originally this was extremely abnormal because the population was increasing and the number of non-staple foods was increasing.  Livestock feed is also increasing, which consumes grain. However, in order to ensure the stability of industry and commerce, the government simply imports grain from the United States and Southeast Asia to ensure stability.

    But now they actually propose to subsidize agriculture and gradually increase the purchase price of grain.  Isn¡¯t this a 180-degree turn?  So he immediately put away his thoughts and looked at it carefully.

    According to the plan, the first step is to raise the price of grain. From this year¡¯s autumn grain harvest to the end of 1929, the price of grain purchased by the government will be gradually increased by 20%, which is equivalent to giving money to farmers.  The second is the first large-scale national financial subsidy in the history of the Republic of China, which covers six categories: tractors, fertilizers and feeds, shipping, radio, aviation manufacturing and petrochemicals.  And it will subsidize it continuously for five years!

    Taking walking tractors, radios and ship transportation as examples, according to this plan, every individual or farm purchasing a tractor can receive a subsidy of 3 barrels of diesel per year.  If you buy a 2,000-ton bulk ship, you can get a subsidy of 100,000 yuan.  If you buy a radio, you can directly earn 50 yuan!

    What is the concept?  Others don't know it, but he, the prime minister, knows it very well.

    The ex-factory price of a harvest-type walking tractor is 160 yuan, which means that as long as you buy one, the state will give you 360 kilograms of diesel for free.  Based on the fuel consumption of each tractor for 8 hours of operation, each 120 kilograms can be used for 50 days.  3 barrels is 150 days!  It is exactly equivalent to the total time spent in two seasons of sowing and harvesting.

    The domestic cost of a 2,000-ton bulk ship is about RMB 800,000, one-eighth of which is directly borne by the state!  As for the domestic price of a single radio set, which is about 150 yuan, according to this subsidy, it will be cut off by one-third!  You must know that radio was still a hugely profitable industry at this time.  For the world's largest radio manufacturer, the United States, the cost is about US$45, and shipping to China by sea will increase the cost by 20%. Therefore, this subsidy will completely squeeze the world's largest American radio manufacturer out of the domestic market!

    The aviation manufacturing industry is the simplest. For every successful sale/export of an aircraft (excluding military use), the state directly throws in a subsidy of 20,000 yuan.

    This is scary!

    A walking tractor is not a crawler tractor. The cheapest of the latter is 5,000 yuan, but the former only costs 160 yuan.  Not to mention simple manufacturing, after the adoption of standardized and semi-automatic engine production lines, the national annual output has exceeded 50,000 since 1925.  It is expected to increase to 150,000 by the end of the third five-year plan!  According to this plan, if there are at least 500,000 walking tractors in the country in 30 years, it will mean that 1.5 million barrels of diesel will be scooped out and given away for free every year.

    But that¡¯s not the most scary thing. What¡¯s even more scary is the support for chemical fertilizers and livestock feed.  According to the plan, as long as a businessman invests in a fertilizer or feed factory, the central and local finances will provide the necessary construction land for free and directly provide construction funds of 200,000 to 1 million yuan according to the scale.  God.  The total cost of a fertilizer plant with an annual output of more than 10,000 tons is only a million, right?

    Yes, China¡¯s rapidly growing population and gradually developing agriculture and animal husbandry require these things, even on the current basisEven a tenfold increase may not be enough, but the problem is As the Prime Minister, I have a lot of IOUs. If I continue to implement this subsidy plan, it is estimated that the Prime Minister's Office will be flooded with outstanding IOUs.

    Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly: "Vice President, aren't you afraid that tens of thousands of fertilizer and feed factories will appear across the country overnight?"

    Yang Qiu pretended not to see it and said: "Aren't Europe and the United States subsidizing agriculture? Beizu said in a telegram that the US government's agricultural subsidies last year were US$300 million, which is equivalent to the purchase of 300,000 crawler tractors or 4

    Tens of millions of barrels of diesel.  "

    "The United States does subsidize 300 million US dollars, but look at their tax structure!" Hu Weide felt guilty and shook his head and said: "The United States is different from our country. Industry and commerce account for most of the national tax, and farmers have little land and are concentrated. Besides, you  It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t know how much spending the Third Five-Year Plan will cost! From 1926 to 1930, 5 billion was invested in industry, commerce and infrastructure every year, 2 billion was invested in agriculture, forestry and water conservancy (hydroelectric power plants are considered water conservancy), 1 billion was invested in government operations, and 20 billion was invested in education.  1 billion, and the army has 1 billion. However, the total fiscal revenue of the country last year was only 7.5 billion, of which 3 billion was from local finance. I just borrowed it first to cover the hole. If it happens again"

    "No, no money."

    In the end, Hu Weide spread his hands to express that he had no money.

    Yang Qiu chuckled and simply showed his cards: "I'll give you an idea. First of all, the subsidies don't have to start immediately. We can first discuss how to implement them, so that we can wait until the beginning of 28. There is still half a year to deal with. You can first ask the Ministry of Finance to increase  Regarding the amount of national debt, the overseas Chinese in the Nanyang turmoil will definitely need value-preserving products, so they will be issued at a rate of 1 billion per year. Secondly, you can sell off all state-owned light industries. As long as part of the shares are held to ensure the interests of workers."

    ¡°Sell all the light industry?!¡±

    Hu Weide's hands shook, his chin almost fell to the ground, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his mouth trembled.  It's not like it's a joke!  Alas for my ancestors, although the country's main investment was in heavy industry and infrastructure construction, state-owned capital was too weak in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the country also invested a lot in light industry. After more than ten years of development, the total amount is about 2 billion.  Even if you can continue to hold 10% of the shares for supervision and ensuring the interests of workers, who wouldn't feel sad if you sell off the wealth you have finally saved?

    Yang Qiudang didn't see it and continued to calculate: "In this way, 7.8 billion can be collected in five years. It is equivalent to an extra year of total income. Finally, let the central bank over-issue currency and increase the quota by 1 billion every year. This way  There are 12.8 billion. Also, look at the beneficiaries of this plan. There are many manufacturing companies. As long as it is implemented, they will definitely expand their production scale, and part of the money subsidized through tax adjustment can be recovered. Calculate it this way. An additional 500 million will be added every year  The expense is not outrageous.¡±

    "Yes, of course you are not outrageous. The total assets of Haiwan, Huachen, Jiangnan, Chongqing and Hanyang are in the billions." Hu Weide looked at the plan and scratched his head secretly.  He did not dare to say these words, but he had to admit that what Yang Qiu said made sense. If the over-issued currency could be used to maintain subsidies, it would not be outrageous. As long as the Republic of China government and the economy continued to grow, the over-issued currency would have credit value.  What's more, after the silver crisis, the Republic of China was the only two countries in the world that established a foreign exchange management system. Silver and gold were banned from trading, and the yuan was determined to be the only settlement unit.  Even if the international capitalists know that the over-issuance is over, they cannot reserve "ammunition" to run on the currency. The most they can do is to collect money in the futures and stock markets.

    But he didn¡¯t know that Yang Qiu concealed something that would cause problems in a few years, not to mention that this subsidy plan was actually a combination of the later Republic¡¯s agricultural machinery going to the countryside and a miniature version of Roosevelt¡¯s plan.  This time, in addition to stimulating agricultural growth, increasing farmers' income, and stimulating industry with orders.  There is also the intention of experimenting with whether the New Deal will adapt to the local environment.

    The main reason for doing this is that he does not understand economics. For a novice who does not even know where the securities company is in the future, there are two things that are the most distressing and difficult after reincarnation.  The first is to grasp the national economy, and the second is the navy, which can only grasp the direction of development but does not know any tactics.

    You can¡¯t be blind if you don¡¯t understand. Practice is the only way to get the truth.

    "Okay, I'll convene a meeting with the ministers in a few days to ask their opinions first." In addition to having doubts about selling the light industry, Hu Weide also agreed, but after putting away the plan, he felt a little guilty: "You also want to  Come to the meeting.¡±

    "I, what am I here for?" Yang Qiu wondered, and said cheerfully: "I'm going to resign."

    Your Excellency the Prime Minister's face turned dark: "You made the plan, you have to give me some advice on how to implement it, right? Besides, that year, the Congress didn't break the budget for the budget? The ministers were even more ferocious than wolves, and they all thought they were crazy.  You are so shameless and proud. Every year there is an additional 500 million yuan in expenses. If you don¡¯t hold back, the Prime Minister¡¯s Office will be demolished by them! Besides, you are also in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Minister of National Defense, and you are also a minister.¡±

    ¡°I have forgotten that I am a cabinet minister when I patronize a subsidy plan.  See himAnxious, Yang Qiu was also happy, stood up and laughed: "Okay, I will support you when the time comes." But after walking out of the Prime Minister's Office and getting in the car, he immediately put away his relaxed demeanor.

    To be honest, even if the overpayment is used to make up for this, the annual fiscal deficit of 3 billion will make him, an economic novice, even paler.  I even regretted setting foot in Natuna, regretting adding two Peking-class battleships, and regretting not asking Jinnah for any favors.  How about transferring the profits from selling weapons to Sukarno first?  But millions of dollars are of no use. I wonder how much money Lei Meng can get back from that piece of meat.

    It will be worth hundreds of billions in future generations, should it be worth 500 million now, right?
