The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

The second spn arrives!This chapter is a [-]-word chapter, and the [-]-word chapter will be finished today!The third thing is that I didn't check my status. I really didn't sleep well yesterday.I went to bed at three o'clock and woke up by the heat at six o'clock. I didn't have energy all morning, and I might go to bed early at night.

Shanghai, this is the only remaining front for foreign banks.

Since the Chinese government began to rectify the financial market, the days of foreign banks have been difficult. First of all, banks in ports such as Wuhan, Xiamen, Guangdong, and Tianjin have been forcibly acquired by the Chinese government.

At the same time, the banknotes issued by these foreign banks in China were also ordered to be recycled. [

What a loss!

But at this time, the countries obviously no longer cared about the small interests of these banks. While China maintained a good relationship with Germany, it also hooked up with the Allied Powers.

On the other hand, the United States has hidden hostility towards China, but it has not fully expressed it.

No one cares about them, and foreign banks have collapsed across the board in China, and the only remaining Shanghai branch has also been restricted in its business scope.

First of all, these foreign-funded banks can only engage in the savings business of foreigners in China, and Chinese citizens must first file a report if they want to deposit money in foreign-funded banks.

If it is due to foreign investment, you can deposit the money in a foreign bank, but if you want to immigrate and withdraw capital, then sorry, let's settle it first!

As a capitalist and manager of national wealth, it is illegal in itself to flee with money, so most of it must be withheld first.

The remaining part can still be taken away.

As for fleeing through underground banks, there are no sufficient conditions. In order to prevent this, the "Commercial Bureau" in charge of commercial intelligence collection will strictly prevent and control, and the "Military Intelligence Bureau" in charge of military intelligence will cooperate with the "Commerce Bureau". 'Communication of intelligence and flags of the Three Kingdoms.

If you want to open an underground bank, you have to have a backer, but whose backer is as big as Jiang Yuda?

Jiang Yu himself is the biggest backer, daring to harm the interests of the nation is completely unacceptable in his eyes.

No access to foreign banks.There is also no channel for underground banks. If you want to flee capital, you can only bring cash, but how much can you bring?

Once caught by customs, it's no joke.

After the formation of this system, China will become a tight bucket, and wealth will not overflow outward.

A system like this also existed in the United States in later generations. It is undeniable that the United States was able to develop into the world's leader in the future. Its development system is very advanced and its economic development efficiency is extremely high.

But no country in later generations dares to imitate the United States.Because as soon as you learn from the United States, capital circulation will be hindered, and it will become a country opposed to Uncle Sam.

This is also the essential reason why Sam's Empire is incompatible with nationalist countries, that is, it hinders the capital circulation of others.

So at this time, the United States is hostile to China.But the current American consortium is only the watchdog of the Rothschild consortium, and it is not yet the world's leader, so it can't control China across the Pacific Ocean.

It's like Germany seized the opportunity of the Rothschild family to deal with the American consortium to defeat France and quickly formed the German Junker consortium. [

At this time, China seized the opportunity of Europeans choking each other and quickly turned China into an airtight iron barrel.

If you wait until the end of World War I to start reforming finance.It will definitely be opposed by the powerful collectively. Unless the time comes, the face will be torn apart by force, otherwise it will not be possible.

The Congress in Beijing is very busy at this time, because Jiang Yu has proposed too many reform proposals, and many things need to be passed on the agenda of the Congress before being voted on.

But none of Jiang Yu's proposed reforms was rejected.Because it has complete control over Congress.

With the congressional vote completed, the following is the implementation of the executive.

At the same time, the central government of the Republic of China is also increasing expenditures, mainly administrative expenditures are increasing.Because at this time China is undergoing tremendous changes in the administrative model.The traditional administrative mode of sheep herding is about to be abandoned.

As far as the public security system is concerned, there will be police patrolling the streets of every city in the future.

Of course, the number of administrative personnel has increased, and the problem of how to regulate administration must be resolved. Therefore, administrative personnel must go to specialized schools to study before taking up their posts.Those who fail the exam will not be employed.

Administration also needs to be professional.

How can unprofessional people manage a country?

In addition, soldiers should not participate in administration, and retire and go home when they are old!The management of the country is still left to educated young people.

Young people have enthusiasm.He has ideals and drive, and he is not so extravagant.

At the same time, the supervision of public opinion is also continuously strengthened. The primary responsibility of the major newspapers at this time is to supervise the administrative officials and officials in various places.

And Congress recently passed a reward for reporting violations, but anyone who reports violations and proves that they are true will be rewarded.Moreover, the reward amount is not low, and the money is paid by criminals.

At the same time, whistleblowers can apply for police protection. If they are not at ease, the government can help them move to other cities.

And the "Criminal Law" has also undergone a new round of revisions, and the sentencing of crimes is stricter. As the so-called troubled times use the focus, it is to make people fear the best geniuses.The light punishment in the prosperous age is to make the common people more simple.

At this time, China can be said to be in a relatively chaotic stage, because various fields are not yet standardized, and the level of education of the people is relatively low.

If the law is not strictly enforced at this time, who will abide by the law in the future?

Of course, the laws of the Beiyang period still attached great importance to the spirit of humanitarianism. Among the legal principles, if the principles can be taken into account, the sentencing will be lighter.From this aspect, it is admitted that "reason" has a certain degree of height above the law, so as to achieve the purpose of educating the common people.

In addition, the revised law also throws the unspoken rule of "the people don't raise officials and don't investigate" that has existed since ancient times into the trash can. A crime is a crime and must be punished.

For example, if a husband rapes his wife, the wife does not pursue the case, but according to the current Chinese law, the husband will still be arrested and locked up for several months.

Abandoning the judicial and public security system of sheep-herding administration, even trivial matters are taken care of. Facts have proved that many conflicts are caused by such trivial matters. [

For example, in order to take advantage of B and be unreasonable, B was very angry, but the government didn't care about this trivial matter, so he had to use violence to solve it by himself, and he hacked the person to death with a knife.

If the government will take care of such trivial matters first, then it will not dare to take advantage of B in the first place.

In addition, Chinese officials at this time rarely get the opportunity to accept bribes when facing businessmen.They dare not use their privileges indiscriminately.

Because Jiangyu's 'warlord oligarch consortium' is spread all over the country first, and the businessmen of its East China Chamber of Commerce don't need to curry favor with officials.

Officials who want to use privileges to block people are courting death.

In addition, the consortium has monopolized many profitable industries. First of all, small and medium-sized capitalists who are not from the East China Chamber of Commerce cannot squeeze in many industries, and those industries that can squeeze in generally do not need to bribe officials.

If those small and medium-sized capitalists try to squeeze into some industries by bribing officials, it will inevitably touch the interests of the consortium, and the consortium will immediately notice the abnormality and conduct an investigation.

For example, what kind of real estate land acquisition, originally this kind of land acquisition procedure is extremely cumbersome, only the consortium of Jiangyu has great convenience.

When the consortium entered a certain place, it turned out that the land had been expropriated.Naturally, there is a problem with it.

In countries where the consortium controls the country, the country is just a company equivalent to the consortium, and the national government is working for the consortium.What privileges do officials have?

He is a public servant of the people!

If you want to be an official, don't even think about being an uncle.

Under the secret control of Jiang Yu, the entire country is developing towards an extremely clean and honest administrative atmosphere, and the system is also moving towards a high-speed development model.

That is, industrial development has encountered difficulties, and steel production is seriously insufficient.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu ordered a large number of rails from various countries in advance.The development of the railway was not affected, and as the Japanese nationals were sent to China one after another, those young Japanese men were dragged to build railways and roads.

The first batch of North Korean laborers also entered China in December. These North Korean laborers are usually employed in places with high labor intensity such as construction sites, mines, quarries, and logging camps.

The increase in the labor force will not affect employment, and the economic situation can be manipulated.A country like China is not very easy to manipulate right now, but when the current institutional reforms are in place, it will be very easy to manipulate the economy.Just engage in false prosperity.

The reason why the United States excludes Chinese is because the Chinese have killed American jobs.In fact, this is after the American consortium harvested, because of the economic downturn, the Chinese were blamed.

Just like Song Jiaoren was blamed for the last Chinese stock market crash.

Now during the First World War, all industries are thriving and the world is full of insults.There is also no question of competing for jobs. Why bother to fight for jobs that are highly labor-intensive and have certain risks?

Of course, there are also many Chinese laborers.But at this time, all kinds of industries are booming, and those small and medium-sized capitalists also take the opportunity to invest heavily. The common people also pour money into the stock market because of the booming of the stock market and the monthly dividends. The investment has become very large, and the construction sites of private enterprises are everywhere.

Moreover, the railway that caused the stock market crash before was also opened to traffic one after another and investment boomed, resulting in too many goods to be transported. After the price increase, it remained the same, and profits soared.

Some of the small and medium-sized capitalists who saw the huge benefits stopped buying railway stocks and raised funds to build railways by themselves.

In the Republic of China at this time, land was privatized.

Moreover, it is easy to approve the construction of railways, which means that people can build railways however they want.

Naturally, these private railway companies also have to consider the issue of profitability, and they all build railways in places with high profitability. Some railway companies see that those main lines cannot transport freight, so they simply build another main line next to the main line.

At this time, the main line of the Chinese railway is in the hands of Jiang Yu, and someone is repairing the railway next to his railway, which is openly grabbing business.

But Jiang Yu is overjoyed, you can build the railways as you like, and I wish you could build more railways.

In today's era, there are no highways, no developed air transport, and no Panama-class freighters. Railways are still the main mode of transportation. Such repeated construction of main railway lines will still be used during wartime.

The more railroads, the greater the war potential.

Zhou Ziyue, Chen Guangfu, and Jiang Yu's father, Jiang Yuanchuan, were all too busy to keep their feet on the ground due to the rapid economic development.

Jiang Yuanchuan is currently in charge of the national agricultural mechanization construction project, and a large number of laborers have been absorbed in this construction project.

Because the agricultural reform is less dangerous, all Chinese laborers are used, and the wages are paid at five silver dollars per month.

Agriculture is the foundation of industrial development, so resources are tilted in this direction. When steel is in short supply, agricultural machinery production is guaranteed first.

With a lot of money invested, it is estimated that within a year, the grain-producing areas in the plains can be built into mechanized agricultural production bases.

Jiang Yuanchuan also has to manage the layout and production of cash crops such as cotton, raw silk, tea, and tung tree.

At this time, Japan was beaten to the ground by Jiang Yu, and Japan's raw silk export share was completely lost.Naturally, China has taken over the raw silk market as a matter of course.

After years of cultivation, a standardized and unified production model has appeared in China's raw silk industry at this time, and the quality and output of raw silk have been greatly improved.

The tea has been scientifically managed and beautifully packaged. Over the past few years, the international sales have continued to increase, and the reputation of Chinese tea has gradually grown.

At this time, China's packaging industry is the most developed. Doesn't the product only pay attention to one packaging?It is the packaging that other people think it is a high-end product.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the world is becoming more and more flashy and superficial. When people are faced with many choices, they often only choose products that look good.

Rather than the traditional business model in the Middle Ages.Buying goods is all about benefits, and merchants are all about credit.

"Release a large number of rural labor forces through the mechanization of food production, and at the same time increase a large number of jobs by increasing the planting area of ​​cash crops. It is the basic agricultural strategy currently adopted. Because food production can be mechanized, and the production of cash crops can be done in the harvest process except cotton. Apart from mechanization, most of the other commercial crops rely on manual labor, and at the same time assist with various small agricultural machinery."

In administrative schools, local officials must learn this agricultural strategy before taking office.After arriving at the place, we have to vigorously develop the economic crops that can be planted.

Of course, in order to completely stabilize the income of farmers who grow cash crops, so that they can produce cash crops with peace of mind, the planting area of ​​each cash crop has a limit.

After taking office, local officials want to mobilize the masses to plant cash crops. They must first find agricultural experts to inspect the local climate and environment, and then select the remaining cash crops for planting.

The Chinese peasants of later generations are because there is no official plan.Seeing what to grow to make money, they rushed to plant everything, but when they waited for the output, they found that it was not easy to sell, and they might even lose money.Then you can only cut it off and plant it again, and then the price has been maintained at a situation where there is profit but not much profit.

Therefore, planned agriculture is the kingly way. At the same time, in order to reduce the risks of farmers, a futures market was established in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which specializes in futures trading of bulk cash crops.Of course, there are futures transactions on other bulk commodities at the same time.

Futures can be said to be another tool for the consortium to make money, because the consortium controls the pricing power of bulk commodities.After the layout is completed, you can immediately release the news of what xxx area is affected by the disaster, the crop production is reduced, or the xxx crop output is expected to increase this year, etc., and the investors will be played and applauded immediately.

And in those small economic crop production areas, there are also futures trading markets.These futures markets are purely agricultural in nature. For example, the local area is the place where commercialized oranges are produced, and how much is the purchase price of oranges this year per catty. All of these can be used for futures.

Such futures are also seasonal and can be bought and sold by local investors, which can guarantee the stable income of local farmers who grow cash crops.

Farmers can calculate the cost before production, and then apply for physical futures trading in the market.

Of course, in order to avoid being taken advantage of by the international consortium and the Rothschild consortium, the Chinese futures at this time are required to be real products, not purely for gambling.

It is not a physical transaction, which is no different in nature from gambling. China does control the pricing power of some bulk commodities at this time, but not all of them. It is easy to be played by European and American consortiums.

For example, after the development of Northeast China, China can control the pricing power of soybeans. In this era, soybean production in various countries was very low. Historically, Northeast China during the Republic of China was the region with the largest soybean export in the world.

After getting the real goods, the situation is different.

Once this system is popularized and agricultural regulation can be done well, China's agricultural production will become very stable, and there will be no roller-coaster market conditions. What farmers fear most is the roller-coaster market conditions.

After agriculture is stabilized, the market demand will expand, and the planting area can also be adjusted accordingly.

Zhou Ziyue was busy managing all aspects of the expansion of the consortium, especially the employment issue. The expansion of economic crop planting area did absorb a lot of jobs, but it was far from enough.

While developing large mineral resources in various provinces, and increasing employment opportunities by building a large number of railways.And the workers recruited by each factory after expanding its scale.

Zhou Ziyue continued to suggest to Jiang Yu: "The government should continue to increase expenditures. The current scale of road repairs is not large enough, and the investment in water conservancy is not enough. You might as well invest more money in education. In this way, the current [-] million yuan in China will The left and right workers are guaranteed."

"What about next year? We have taken such a big step, and with so much money pouring into the people, wouldn't the prices have skyrocketed?" Jiang Yu was a little bit pained, the step was indeed too big!It made him a little terrified.

"It doesn't matter if the price rises, so our consortium will make more money? And after all, this is because of the lack of internal supply due to the need to take into account exports. As long as the Europeans finish fighting, it will return to normal levels. As long as we do a good job of food supply That's enough, the food price can be stabilized, and other problems are not big." Zhou Ziyue looked like a profiteer.He continued: "We can continue to call on the common people to invest their money, so that internal demand will be reduced. When the common people have enough money in their hands, we can continue to prosper after the European War ends."

Jiang Yu was still afraid of trouble, so he decided: "Okay, airborne anti-Japanese assault battalion! That's fine, but the food supply has to be controlled. The supply is based on the head."

Stabilizing the price of food will prevent troubles. This is indeed the truth, but Jiang Yu is still afraid that the common people will rush to buy food after other prices rise. There is definitely not enough food to eat.

Therefore, it is safer to distribute food temporarily.

by contrast.Chen Guangfu's task is even heavier. First of all, he must spread the bank to all parts of the country, and at the same time, he must straighten out the problem of funds.

How much money to leave.How much money can be borrowed must be calculated clearly, and at this time the strides are relatively large, and the whole of China is in a state of frenzied construction, and issues such as how much funds to release to the private sector must be considered.

……

In order to cooperate with the development, Jiang Yu had no choice but to continue to communicate with Yuan Shikai.Let Yuan Shikai continue to increase government spending, and implement temporary food distribution across the country according to needs.

Yuan Shikai felt very reasonable after hearing this.They all agreed.

Jiang Yu then began to guide the public through public opinion, so he wrote an article and sent it to the newspaper.

"At present, China has just completed national reunification, and it can be said that all industries are waiting to be developed. In addition, the European war has led to a surge in export demand, so the country has entered a comprehensive construction stage. Although there is no shortage of workers in China, the infrastructure is weak. Due to too many projects to be constructed, There are too many goods to be transported, resulting in a serious backlog of goods transported by railways. In this golden period of national development, everything should be focused on development. Now there are more jobs, and the pockets of the majority of compatriots are gradually bulging. They are busy building infrastructure, so prices will inevitably rise, so I implore the majority of compatriots to refrain from consumption **, the current vigorous consumption will only cause more traffic congestion, and it is not worthwhile under the high prices. Just wait for the Europeans to finish the war, The demand for exports will drop. At that time, the majority of compatriots who want to build a house build a house, and those who want to buy a car buy a car. Not only is the price affordable, but the country can continue to prosper. At this time, if the consumption is not spent on production and construction, you can receive dividends , can also contribute to the country's construction. For example, the transportation capacity is insufficient at this time, and funds can be invested in railway construction. Although the railway crashed in Jiayin, it was all due to the lack of national funds to support it. Now the national funds are sufficient , the worry of losing stocks... Although the people's livelihood has been greatly developed, the agricultural foundation is still relatively weak. Although food is enough to eat, it may be panic-buyed under the influence of other rising prices. For rationing, it only takes two years to do more, and the grain output can be comparable to abundance. Yudang should set an example and never consume indiscriminately during the comprehensive construction period.”

After Jiang Yu's article was polished, it was published in major newspapers, and immediately aroused enthusiastic responses.

First of all, this article is moved with emotion and reason. As the consciousness of nationalism gradually penetrated into the minds of every common people, everyone began to be proud of being the Chinese nation. The victories of the two foreign wars also made everyone Chinese people have regained their sense of national pride and deeply felt the benefits of a strong country.

No generation has ever had such a deep feeling as it does today. China, which was backward in the past, was bullied. Now that China is strong, the oppression of foreigners has been overturned, and life is easier.

If you want not to be oppressed, you have to make your country stronger.

During the period of comprehensive construction, export and construction have overwhelmed the railway transportation. In addition, the common people have money in their pockets, and there are no sufficient conditions to expand the production of consumer goods. The rise in the price of consumer goods is reasonable.

Use the remaining money in your pocket to build national infrastructure and production materials. This will not only enable ordinary people to receive dividends, but also contribute to national construction.

When the Europeans finish the war and China builds enough infrastructure, it will be able to meet domestic demand at that time, and the common people will be able to build houses and buy cars if they want.

Therefore, after the common people understood this truth, they responded to Marshal Jiang's call one after another.

As for the issue of investing in railways, it has caused some controversy. It has only been a few months since the stock market disaster!The common people call the railway an 'iron tiger', and they are really frightened.
