Chapter 402 Nanyang’s income doubled (second update, please subscribe)

The holidays went by quickly.

After the three-day holiday, everyone needs to get back to work.

Li Yian was no exception to this point. He returned to his official residence in Chang'an just after the vacation. There were reports from various ministries in the document basket on his desk. It would take half a day to just read through them. After all the affairs were handled, Li Yian He pressed the intercom on the table and gave instructions to his secretary.

"Let the Lin family come over."

Soon, Lin Jiachao entered the office with a document.

"gentlemen."

"How's the plan going?"

"Sir, we have drawn up the first draft of the National Income Doubling Plan. After careful calculation, taking into account the comprehensive development of the three eastern districts this year, in the next ten years, we will train talents, revitalize science and technology, and increase industrial investment. The average annual growth rate targets for gross national product and national income are 10.6% and 8.5% respectively. Once these indicators are achieved, it is still very realistic to double national income."

As Lin Jiachao spoke, he put the documents on the desk with both hands and continued to introduce them.

This is also the fundamental reason why Nanyang brings different perceptions to outsiders - awareness of discipline, legal awareness, hygiene and cleanliness are all habits they brought from military management.

How much labor does Nanyang need?

"Last year our per capita disposable income was 196.45 yuan, of which the average income of employees was 238 yuan, and the income of non-employees was 119.5 yuan. The latter's lower income is deliberate - first, the new immigrants work in the reclamation area, and their income It is lower, usually 10-12 yuan. The second is Japanese trainees. Their basic salary is only 2 yuan. Including piece wages, bonuses, etc., it does not exceed 8 yuan..."

Just thinking about it makes me a little dizzy!

Therefore, to maintain high value-added industrial production, large-scale reclamation operations must be stopped.

It takes fifteen days to develop a habit, and in one year... you can make the habit engraved in your bones.

In fact, where is two or three years!

The simplest example - during the implementation of the "First Five-Year Plan" in Tangshan, the number of employees nationwide increased from 800 million at the time of liberation to 56 million in 2417, and by 59, the number of employees increased to 5194 million!

Apart from anything else, just looking at this human resource makes people jealous!

In comparison, even if another 10 million immigrants are introduced this year, Nanyang will only have a labor force of 26 to 7 million people, and with the arrival of a large-scale baby boom, medical care and education will also require a large amount of manpower. It will further crowd out the industrial and agricultural labor force.

After this year, with the earth-shaking changes in Tangshan, it will also enter a period of large-scale construction. It is obviously impossible to attract people from there. Under the premise that cheap labor cannot be supplemented, manpower must be transferred to high value-added industries - industry!

Don't look at the fact that there are 85 million people in Nanyang now, and more than % of them are working people, but in fact these people are scattered in all walks of life, which is not enough to see. Just the industrial and mining enterprises and the construction field absorb half of the labor force. , coupled with the corresponding social service systems such as government, education, medical care, transportation, services, and reclamation operations, the working population of to million can only barely maintain economic development.

Li Yian looked at the report, nodded slightly and said.

It is under the promotion of this system that immigrants from Southeast Asia often go through the process from colonization workers to enterprise employees. The militarized management of the reclamation areas not only improved the immigrants' awareness of discipline and legal concepts, but the military camp-style life also subtly influenced and influenced their living habits.

"Our income gap is the income of employees and non-employees. This will definitely be eliminated in the next ten years, and large-scale reclamation will also stop in the next two or three years. By then, all reclamation workers can be fully employed in industry And on the plantation, well..."

While Lin Jiachao explained the salary structure in Nanyang one by one, Li Yian looked at the report. The low wages in the reclamation area were deliberately low. The wage gap will make people take the initiative to learn - complete literacy training and then undergo vocational training to become corporate employees. . This can not only reduce labor costs, but also promote active learning.

"Such an income gap can be narrowed to the greatest extent, and income growth can be maintained at about 6% every year. In ten years, income can almost double."

After a pause, Li Yian smiled.

"In other words, by then the per capita disposable income will be 400 yuan. 400 yuan... there is still a big gap compared to Europe. You know, most of Europe has been bombed into rubble." Europe is now undergoing a crisis. Gradually emerging from the shadow of war, if they are just satisfied with this 400 yuan, Nanyang will definitely be left behind them in ten years.

Looking at the per capita GDP of Nanyang listed in the report this year, Li Yian said.

"Our per capita GDP reached 1358 yuan last year. This number is very impressive. Of course, this is due to our population structure - basically all laborers, not many elderly people and children, but from this number, it can also be said that It can be seen that there is a big gap between us, which also means that we have made great progress!"

In fact, the current GDP of Nanyang is meaningless, because this per capita GDP is based on a very small non-working population, and is accompanied by the "baby boom" that has already appeared - last year, just the number of newborn babies has exceeded 200 million, this per capita GDP will be rapidly diluted in the future. In this case, counting GDP has no meaning at all. It is only used to calculate the level of national economic growth. In fact, if divided by three, the current per capita GDP of Nanyang is only 450 US dollars at most, which has not even reached German level – $494. And Germany is now in ruins!

He closed the report, picked up a cigar and lit it. Li Yian took a puff and leaned back in the chair and said.

"Less than US$200 billion! This was our GDP last year, but after this year's General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, industrial production is bound to experience a blowout. According to estimates from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, this year's exports to the United States will only be will increase by more than 600%. Therefore, we must seize this favorable period to establish an export trade with large imports and large exports, import raw materials, and export industrial finished products. At the same time, we must take advantage of the opportunity of large-scale construction in the three eastern districts to accelerate the country's own development. Construction, ten years...I think the per capita disposable income should be able to reach US dollars."

After raising this number, Li Yian continued.

"This number should be adjusted appropriately to take into account the current national economic development trend and the fact that in the next ten years, our country will enter a period of rapid economic growth, but we must allow everyone to enjoy the dividends of economic growth."

At the end of last year, Li Nian asked the Secretariat to formulate a "National Income Doubling Plan", the core of which is to use official regulation to enable everyone to have a corresponding increase in income amid the country's economic growth. rise.

In Li Yi'an's view, the next ten years are a very critical decade. If we seize this opportunity, Nanyang can stand on the same starting line as Germany and France and achieve leapfrog development of the country in the 60s, like Japan. , in the mid-to-late 60s, entering the first echelon of the world economy.

However, it is not enough to rely solely on the increase in industrial production. It also requires an increase in national income. Only when national income increases can the domestic consumption industry be stimulated, thereby achieving a balanced development of industry and consumption. If it is just industrial development, and the income of the people is After deducting inflation, there is almost no development, so what awaits Nanyang must be a South American-style middle-income trap. Why did the economies of South American countries develop rapidly from the 60s to the 80s, but then quickly became quiet after the 90s?

In the final analysis, economic development cannot match people's income. Economic development without local consumption industry is destined to be rootless.

Moreover, this local consumer industry must not be a house! Because houses will only squeeze people’s consumption capacity for goods.

"Enjoying the dividends of rapid economic growth is related to national consumption, and their consumption is related to the long-term development of the country. Therefore, we must work hard to allow everyone to benefit from it. This is what we..."

Casting his gaze into the distance, Li Yian pondered.

"We should talk about doing things, instead of just focusing on economic growth, we should focus on the growth of national income. Otherwise, after decades of glory, everything will eventually return to calm."

People in this era may not know about the "middle-income trap", but Li Yian is very aware of its dangers.

How can we avoid repeating the "mistakes" of South America and avoid the Latin Americanization of Nanyang?

To avoid all of this from happening, we do not have to wait until the future to solve the problem. Instead, we should commit ourselves to allowing everyone to benefit from economic growth from the very beginning. Only in this way can we avoid the Latin Americanization of Nanyang.

"Sir, I understand. I will readjust the plan."

"It doesn't matter, adjust slowly. After all, it won't be made public until May..."

May will be the implementation of Nanyang's first four-year plan. At the same time, Li Nian will also give the people a promise - a promise that the future will get better and better. Thinking of the upcoming great development, while looking forward to the future, Li Yian said to the young people behind him,

"Okay, let's do it."

After Lin Jiachao exited the office, Li Yian walked to the desk again. Then he picked up a mail bag that was delivered by someone. After tearing it open, he took out a document from the mail bag. On the cover, there is a skull badge of "Hydra".

This is a document sent by "Hydra". Looking through the document carefully, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said to himself.

"The South Asian subcontinent, this pool of spring water is going to be in chaos..."
