Beiyang reactionaries

Wang Yongjiang is the most anxious.This plan to lower food prices, control the countryside, and then develop industries was formulated by Wang Yongjiang.Because Wang Yongjiang has no money in his hands.

Duan Xun has so many demands, so many government tasks, and so many things to develop, but Wang Yongjiang can't make money.So Wang Yongjiang formulated this plan to squeeze agriculture.

Industrialization is no fun.

In particular, the result of industrialization is urbanization.However, as a result of urbanization, the urban population is increasing rapidly, and the industrial population is increasing rapidly, which means that the food that needs to be provided will greatly increase.

If 100 billion catties of grain are provided to cities now, then tens of billions of catties will be needed in a few years' time as the urban population increases.Because by then the urban population will be several times what it is now.

How can so much food be obtained casually.

It needs to be provided by the countryside.Moreover, the surplus food in the countryside must be controlled by the government, otherwise big things will happen.If grain merchants are allowed to do grain business with rural landlords like this, then who will abide by the grain purchase price set by the government.

All of them have done business directly with grain merchants.

Once the government's policy of unified purchase and monopoly is destroyed, the problems in the future will be out of control.Grain control is in the hands of those grain merchants, which is a hidden danger to the government.And if there is no profit on food, the finances will lose much money.

"Prime Minister, once we let it go this time, or punish it lightly. When the time comes, we will not be able to control the price of food."

Of course, Wang Yongjiang would not say that if the hole is opened, the profit of the food will be taken away by others.Moreover, there will be problems with the government's control of the countryside.

"I also think it should be severely punished."

Dai Kan spoke.

Dai Kan also understood the seriousness of this matter.As the first deputy prime minister, Dai Kan also understands why Duan Xun and Wang Yongjiang formulated such economic policies.

Dai Kan also supports it.

Although it is cruel, the reality is so cruel.For the current Chinese government, the only goal is to stop being bullied and to be on an equal footing with those great powers.And there is only one best way to stop being bullied, and that is to develop industry.As for the development of industry, there are only two ways.One is the same path as the great powers of the United Kingdom have traveled.

Vigorously support the development of light industry, and when there is demand for light industry, it will follow the development of light industry demand.If light industry needs electricity, develop electricity.Light industry needs transportation, so it needs to develop transportation.Light industry needs some small-scale machinery and equipment, so it develops machinery and equipment.After using light industry to accumulate some funds, start to develop heavy industry.Completely follow the needs.This is how the machinery and equipment industry developed.

First develop light industry and then heavy industry.

This is normal development.

In China's current machinery manufacturing industry, textile machinery, flour processing machinery, etc. are developing relatively rapidly.Moreover, these machinery manufacturing was developed by the national industry itself.

The reason is that China's textile industry and flour mills are developing rapidly, and there is a great demand for machines.In the past, everyone imported machinery and equipment, but importing was too expensive.Some people began to imitate these machines and equipment. At present, the performance of domestic machines and equipment is not good, but the price is cheap.So it's still very popular.This is the most normal industrial development.The development of light industry will drive the development of equipment manufacturing industry.

The other is the large government investment, using government investment to develop industries.

Reverse development.

Instead of developing normally according to demand, it creates demand by itself to drive industrial development.Just like the development of railways, shipping, and electric power, use these to drive the development of the coal industry and the development of the iron and steel industry.And use these demands to enhance the development of the equipment manufacturing industry.

However, the equipment manufacturing industry has been developed, but there is no market for those things that have been developed in a short period of time.Therefore, it can only be raised, and the government pays for it.

But where does the money come from?

At present, most of the funds come from rural areas.Therefore, the government must control the rural areas, and the control is very strict.

"There can be no chaos in the countryside. If grain merchants are allowed to disrupt the purchase of grain in the countryside, the order in the countryside will be disrupted. Without agriculture, the countryside must be stable, and agriculture must be stable."

All are smart people.

It is impossible to tell the true meaning, and it cannot be said too clearly.So it is said that the countryside must be stable, and agriculture must be stable.

"Then what do you think should be punished?"

"The main culprit was shot, the property was confiscated under threat, and he was sentenced."

As soon as Dai Kan's words fell, everyone present was taken aback.Not all cabinet members understand such an economic strategy.In the eyes of some people, this matter is very simple.

It was a "smuggling".

Confiscation of income, fines, and the heaviest is imprisonment.But what Dai Kan said was to be shot, sentenced, and confiscated.This is absolutely the worst crime.

Shooting is out, what crime is worthy of shooting.Although the government has shot many people to death over the years, they were charged with very serious crimes.Just reselling some grain, but also shot, it would be too serious.

"Prime Minister Dai, is it too serious?"

Yu Youren frowned.

Although it violates national policy, it is not necessary to be shot.Isn't it just reselling some grains, so there is no need to be so strict.

"I think what Premier Dai said makes sense."

Wang Yongjiang opened his mouth to support Dai Kan.

This surprised Yu Youren.What happened to Wang Yongjiang today? From the very beginning, he was full of murderous intent. Now that Dai Kan wants to deal with these people so seriously, Wang Yongjiang actually supports him.

Yu Youren really didn't understand.

Wang Yongjiang has always been very calm, but what happened today.Why did Duan Xun regard this small matter as a big matter and discuss it at the cabinet committee meeting.The two vice premiers, Dai Kan and Wang Yongjiang, were murderous.

Why is that?

"Commissioner Yu, in a big country like ours with such a large population, food security is very important. Without food security, the whole country will be in chaos. Therefore, the agricultural issue is the top priority, and there must be no chaos. We must make an example to everyone. Everyone knows that this is a high-tension line. Anyone who touches this problem must be dealt with severely."

Wang Yongjiang didn't give Yu Youren any chance, and said it suddenly.

"Where are the people who sell food?"

Before Yu Youren could speak, Duan Xun asked again.

"Sentencing, confiscation of property."

Dai Kan said it again.

Let many people take a deep breath together.Not only to judge those grain merchants who bought grain, but also to punish those landlords who sold grain.This is not a trivial matter, as so many grain merchants were involved this time, a large number of local landlords were also involved.

sentencing?Confiscation of property?

This is no small thing.

"I think it's too serious."

Yu Youren objected again, and said loudly: "Prime Minister, we are a republican government. How can we kill people at will like the Manchu Qing Dynasty? This is completely disregarding human life. We should deal with it according to the law. How can we follow the law? We do whatever we want."

"President Dong, what do you think?"

Yu Youren is very good.

He is kind, honest, and hardworking, and of course his ability is not bad.After being in charge of transportation issues in the past few years, he has achieved very good results in railway construction, road construction, and shipping construction.

It's a pity that he won't understand what Duan Xun wants and the purpose of Wang Yongjiang's economic policies.
