    February 1929, Beijing.

    Although the capital relocation started last year after the constitutional amendment bill was passed, it will actually take some time for all government agencies to move here.  With the arrival of the first few batches of government agencies, the city of Beijing, which had been dormant for 14 years, gradually regained its vitality.  Family members of officials, merchants traveling from north to south, institutions of various countries stationed in China, branches of domestic enterprises, newspapers, radio stations, etc., have greatly promoted the development of the city.

    At the same time, in order to preserve the authenticity of this ancient capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is also the most complete royal capital in the country, the Republic of China Congress imitated the Washington D.C. law in the United States and not only passed a resolution to designate Beijing as a special central area, but also introduced a bill to prohibit all activities that damage the ancient city's style.  construction, and closed all factories and mines that could easily damage the city's appearance, including the Shijingshan Iron Works.

    Although many industrial and mining enterprises have been relocated, urban construction is changing with each passing day.  The Shijingshan Iron Smelting Plant has been transformed into a power plant. Telephone poles have been extended to the streets and alleys in an orderly manner. Asphalt roads have covered the city's main arterial roads. On the dedicated tram lanes beside the roads, the ringing of bells is endless.  In addition to Beijing, the three provinces of Hebei, Rehe and Chahar, which are close to the capital, are also carrying out river dredging and vegetation restoration work.

    To manage these matters, the parliament passed Yang Qiu¡¯s proposal to establish a national soil and water environment protection department under the Ministry of Agriculture.  Of course, there are only a handful of people who understand the responsibilities of this department. Everyone only knows that this department is full of noisy and unconventional young people. They think this is Yang Qiu's way of deliberately trapping them in order to keep his ears clean. Otherwise, how could it be possible?  Three planes are allocated to these young people.

    "Look" Inside the bulletproof car.  Beijing Mayor Shi Yixuan and National Guard Colonel Wang Geng of the Beijing-Tianjin District were briefing Yang Qiu on the progress of urban construction when he went to Beijing to inspect the situation of relocating the capital.

    Shi Yixuan is a native of Shandong. He was one of the students who went to the United States in the Gengzi year and was also a classmate of Wang Geng.  He majored in finance and business management at the University of Michigan. After returning to China, he joined the National Socialist Party and successfully ran for mayor of Qingdao the following year, making great contributions to the recovery and development of Qingdao after the Sino-Japanese War.

    As soon as the scholar-type mayor talked about urban construction, he immediately burst into excitement and gushed: "Look. This is the newly built Presidential Palace. Opposite is the Capitol Building, and beyond that is the Prime Minister's Palace" Since we want to  Preserve the ancient city authentically.  Yang Qiu never thought about entering Zhongnanhai, so he re-selected the location and built a group of central government office buildings.  In order not to spoil the whole, all office buildings are in traditional style.  For example, the Presidential Palace looks like an exquisite ** garden villa, divided into three parts.  In the middle is the L-shaped conjoined two-story main office building, on the right are the Guards, security and other living facilities, and at the end is the president's private living area. Of course, the underground area is also not spared. There are specially designed passages to ensure rapid transfer in emergencies.

    In order to save money, all central buildings were renovated from the mansions left by the Manchu princes. Only the Capitol Building is a new building.  Adopting the traditional shape of a round sky and a square place, the four-story structure not only conforms to the urban style but also has a large space.

    "Recently we are debating whether to build a subway. Some people think that building a subway will damage the underground structure and affect the protection of ancient buildings. It is recommended to use ground light rail. But my opinion is that since underground tunnels can be built under cement and steel buildings like those in Europe and the United States, as long as they are avoided  When opening major protected buildings such as the Forbidden City, it should still be based on the subway, which can save ground space and make living more comfortable"

    Yang Qiu listened to his chatter with a smile.  After returning from Turkey, in addition to his daily work, he spent most of his time visiting cities and schools across the country to deliver speeches to build momentum for his presidential campaign.  Many people think it is not necessary, because it is already a sure thing that he will become president, but he still wants to experience this feeling and conduct a thorough survey of the country.

    "The subway is still under construction." Yang Qiu smiled: "There is no reason to exclude advanced technologies from Europe and the United States after formulating its own national standards. Besides, the subway is also an attempt to promote electrification in the future. However, the quality of the project must be strictly controlled and must comply with national standards.

    Everyone knows that in the past year or so, apart from traveling around the country, Yang Qiu's most important job was to promote "national industrial standards" with the National Standards Committee for Industry and Commerce!  To this end, he personally took action and eliminated a large number of companies and spare parts that did not meet national standards. Even the companies under his own name closed many non-standard production lines, finally making the standards committee no longer a decoration.  However, this harsh measure has also caused a big shock to the industrial development in the past year. Industrial growth has been reduced by a full percentage, but he believes that it is worth it, because only in this way can industrial development be smoother and China's industrial development be established.  This step must be taken even if it offends all business people.

    Hearing that he mentioned national standards again, Shi Yixuan nodded repeatedly and said that he would definitely follow the standards.

    The car drove all the way towards the Ministry of National Defense, but as soon as it turned through the central construction area, it saw a long queue in front of it, and there were many police officers maintaining order.  ThereforeThere were not many guards with him when he came out, so Lei Meng, who was sitting in the front seat, nervously took out his submachine gun.

    "Don't move around. Let's see what's going on before talking about it." Yang Qiu quickly stopped his behavior and asked the driver to ask about the situation.

    The driver got out of the car and squeezed into the crowd, then came back and reported: "Reporting to the deputy commander, today is the day when the Shenyang Tractor Factory arrives. These are all here to buy tractors."

    Shi Yixuan was so busy with urban construction and development that he forgot about this matter. He quickly spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Look at me, I have forgotten that today is agricultural input subsidy day. Why don't the driver change the route."

    "There's no rush. Xiao He, drive to the front and have a look, and don't get out of the car for the time being."

    Although there was an explanation, the guards in the car behind did not dare to neglect, and several people came down to protect Yang Qiu's car.  The driver, Xiao He, did not dare to turn off the engine and was always ready to evacuate in case of emergencies.

    The guards had their own duties, so Yang Qiu would not interfere with them. Instead, he chatted with Shi Yixuan about agricultural subsidies.  Agricultural material subsidies are the worker-peasant subsidy plan that he discussed with Hu Weide the year before last. Since no one expected it to be so popular after it was launched, the production capacity of many commodities cannot even meet the demand, so we can only hold two subsidy days every month to focus on selling tractors.  and other agricultural tools.

    "Don't crowd."

    "Hey! I'm No. 19. I'm No. 19."

    "What? One number is only allowed to buy 2 units? How can that work? I came all the way from Cangzhou, and hundreds of people in the village, old and young, are all counting on this time. Sir, if you do a good job, you can sell it to me.  5, just 5 tractors.¡±

    The sales hall of Shenyang Tractor Factory in Beijing was packed with people, and the counter was almost overcrowded with young and old men coming from all over to buy walking tractors!  If the police hadn't tried their best to maintain the situation, I don't know what would have happened.  This scene made Yang Qiu secretly scratch his head. He still underestimated the effectiveness of this round of industrial and commercial subsidies.  Especially for walking tractors, although they have adopted nationally unified standard parts from the beginning, they have also introduced automated engine block production lines. There are more than a dozen factories across the country that have been issued licenses. Recently, several large factories have even launched semi-automatic production lines.  However, the annual output is still far from meeting the demand that was suddenly stimulated after the introduction of the subsidy policy.

    "Do you know where I went wrong?" Yang Qiu suddenly looked at Shi Yixuan and asked with a smile.

    Shi Yixuan already knew that the worker-peasant subsidy plan was a decision made by Yang Qiu, but he did not expect that he would now say that he was wrong.  After looking at the surging crowd, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "I didn't take the margin into consideration."

    Yang Qiu nodded: "I forgot two things when making the plan. The first is that the production and ownership of automobiles in our country are far inferior to those of foreign countries. I forgot that many people buy tractors and use them as cars when they are busy farming. The second thing  The thing is that I underestimated private purchasing power. At first I thought that there were about 2 million households in the country that could afford tractors, because I calculated based on agricultural needs, but I forgot about the national transportation needs! Half of the tractors sold now are  For freight I lost a lot of money on that deal.¡±

    "Haha" Shi Yixuan and Wang Geng both laughed.  Yang Qiu is right. After this industrial and commercial subsidy, everything else is normal, but walking tractors are the most popular.  It is capable of cultivating land, plowing fields, pumping water, generating electricity and hauling goods. It can run on roads and dirt roads. With the annual subsidy of 3 barrels of diesel, it is cheaper than raising a horse. Many coachmen have sold their horses.  They pooled their money to buy a tractor specifically to make money, which eventually led to an increase of millions of buyers for no reason, leading to the current spectacular scene of "tractor grabbing".

    Of course, except that the supply of diesel will be tight, there will be no loss.  The profits from selling tractors alone are enough to kill many factories, and agriculture, transportation, transportation, etc. will benefit a lot from this.

    "This is a lesson, telling us that no matter what we do, we must leave a certain amount of room." Yang Qiu patted the carriage: "Let's go."

    The convoy turned a corner and left the busy tractor sales site, heading straight towards the Ministry of National Defense building.  The Ministry of National Defense is the only building located in the central government office area. It is located at the foot of Xishan Mountain. There is a highway directly leading to Beijing and not far from Nanyuan Airport.  The main building is a huge all-reinforced concrete building with four floors above ground and two floors underground. It has hundreds of offices and conference rooms of different sizes. There are also several auxiliary buildings with their own characteristics next to it, which together form the Ministry of National Defense.  district.

    Because the construction budget at that time was as high as 70 million yuan, the Congress believed that such a large office space was not needed and was reluctant to allocate funds. In the end, Yang Qiu and a group of national social and industrial and business people raised 20 million yuan in the name of donations before convincing the Congress to allocate funds.  The remaining construction funds were spent on the entire construction cycle for a full 3 years.

    The new building has not yet been officially opened, and many military officers and civilian personnel have already come here to take care of it.  After the convoy entered the work area, Song Ziqing and three commanders came out to greet them with a large number of military generals. Even after the Afghan troops withdrew, theyLong Yun, who was resting and summarizing experiences and lessons, also appeared in the crowd.  In addition to the military, Song Ziqing, Xu Xiujun and others also came from all over the country for the meeting.

    "Let's take a look at the building first and then talk about business. Let's go." Yang Qiu smiled, looked up at the national flag on the top of the building, and walked inside first
