Beiyang reactionaries

"Premier Wang, you have also read Das Kapital. Apart from other things, Marx's analysis of the capitalist economy is still very good. Especially the analysis of the capitalist economic crisis is unique. The current situation of the US economy is a big crisis The prosperity before, the madness before the great economic crisis. Look at what I wrote, that is my analysis of the current American economy.”

Wang Yongjiang carefully read what Duan Xun wrote.

Duan Xun made a lot of his own opinions on the US economy, and the final conclusion is that the current rapid development of the US economy, combined with the current downturn in the world economy, will definitely lead to an economic crisis.

Wang Yongjiang was silent.

I looked at what Duan Xun wrote again.

The United States, at the time of the Paris Peace Conference, was squeezed out by Britain and France, which actually lost a lot of face.But the strength of American industry can be felt by the whole world.

If it weren't for this, Britain would not gather a group of its own colonies and younger brothers to create a form similar to a "free trade zone" to exclude the United States.It is really because Britain is no longer the opponent of the United States in terms of industrial competition.The industrial products of the United States swept the country, and the industrial products of the United Kingdom could not resist them at all.

The economies of the world powers are not doing well right now.

Britain, France, Germany, and Japan are all like this. Only the US economy is thriving.But Duan Xun analyzed that the US economy was before the crisis broke out.

"What the prime minister means is that I hope to start hoarding gold and silver now. If there is an economic crisis in the world, we will go and buy something?"

"Correct."

Wang Yongjiang's reaction was still very fast.

I immediately understood what Duan Xun meant.Duan Xun nodded and said: "Our current industrial construction is actually laying the foundation and training our own technical personnel. When the world's economic crisis occurs, we can import a large number of machinery and equipment from European and American countries according to our domestic industrial conditions. A large amount of industrial technology will allow China's industry to make great strides. In a short period of time, the industrial gap between China and European and American countries will be greatly reduced. And once the economic crisis occurs, many experts and professors will live in hardship. If If they are willing, we can also introduce them to teach in our universities and serve as technicians in our factories. But to complete these needs money, a lot of money. Our country does not have enough foreign exchange reserves, and now the annual foreign trade deficit still needs our money. Silver subsidy. So we have to hoard enough gold. Five hundred tons of gold, I still think it’s a bit small. If we can have a thousand tons of gold in our hands, then it will be more calm.”

"Prime Minister, but there is also a big problem."

"what?"

"If there is a worldwide economic crisis in a few years, then our economy will also be hit hard. If we provide more currency now, it will not only cause inflation, but also greatly prosper all walks of life in our country .Once the world economy is not good, a large number of these industries will fall down. How will we solve this problem then. "

Wang Yongjiang immediately thought of the problem.

Although the current international trade cannot be compared with 100 years later.However, the scale of China's foreign trade is not small at present, and the annual import and export volume is still very large.

If there is a problem in the world economy, China will also be hit.China currently exports hundreds of millions of French currency every year, and how many industries are involved behind it.

"I've thought about this too. At that time, our country will definitely be affected. But our country is different from the European and American powers. We mainly export raw materials. So when the time comes, we will mainly see how to digest those raw materials. At that time, we need to reduce some The best output, of course, is our domestic industry, which can digest most of it.”

"If this doesn't work, and there will be too many unemployed workers, use the purchased machinery and equipment to start large-scale industrial projects and carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, and transfer these unemployed workers here. If it doesn't work, let them go to the countryside to plant land. As long as agriculture is stable and the fundamentals of the economy remain intact, our country will not be greatly affected.”

With the advent of the Great Depression, China will definitely be affected.

But how to deal with him, Duan Xun also has some ways of his own.In fact, the best way is to expand domestic demand and let China's booming industry consume those raw materials.

It is a pity that no matter how fast China's industrial development is, it is impossible to consume all the resources.So what Duan Xun thought of was that China would be able to start large industrial projects by then.

When exports are hit, investment is used to stimulate the economy.And if it doesn't work, people will be sent to the countryside to farm.As long as people don't starve to death by then, there will be no major problems in China.

And when the time comes, use the economic crisis to reap the economic fruits of these years of development.Although such an approach is unfair to those private capitals, in a world of great controversy, what Duan Xun wants is to make China an industrial country as soon as possible.For this, Duan Xun didn't care about some means.From 1920 to 1930, China's economy developed within ten years, and the people still accumulated a lot of funds.These funds can be transferred to industrial construction.

As long as China's industry has a sufficient foundation, everything behind it will be easy to handle.

"What I'm worried about now is what you said. In the past few years, you have to stabilize the development of China's economy."

"call--"

Wang Yongjiang scratched his head.

This is not a small matter, he has to think about it carefully.Let's see how to make those landlords spit out the gold in their hands, and prevent the issuance of too many banknotes, which will affect the domestic economy.

"Prime Minister, I will carefully consider it."

"My lord, something big has happened."

1925 9 Month 9 Day.

Taiwan Governor's Office.

The staff rushed into the Governor's Mansion and reported to the Governor of Taiwan, Izawa Takio.

"what happened."

Izawa Takio is 56 years old. Unlike other North Korean governors and Taiwan governors, Izawa Takio is a relatively rare Taiwan governor who was born as a civil servant.However, his position in the past two years has not been very comfortable.

Same as the Korean peninsula.

In order to supplement Japan's financial problems, Taiwan is also constantly searching for Taiwan's assets.Taiwan also has a lot of resources, such as better-selling camphor, sugar, and tobacco, all of which are exported from Taiwan.

Not only these, in order to collect more money, taxes are constantly being raised.

Taxes are very sensitive.

Because it's something you can see and touch.A wise man won't let you see it before taking it from your pocket.That way, if you lose money, you won't be angry.Because you don't know that your money is being taken away.But at present, many taxes are blatantly obvious, and they are directly used to collect money.This situation is most infuriating.Obviously it was his own money, but it went into the hands of others.

Why in history, when it comes to peasant uprisings and stupid emperors, the first thing to say is basically "exorbitant taxes".It is because "exorbitant taxes" are the easiest to feel.

The squeeze is severe, and anyone will resist.

The same is true for Taiwan.

At present, there are about 400 million people in Taiwan, and the population is not too small.Originally, Taiwan was not part of Japan.In modern times, in order to defend itself, Taiwan has fought many battles with the French and Japanese.These people have not completely surrendered, and now there are often resistance forces.Coupled with China's constant instigation behind the scenes, Taiwan has not been stable at all during this period.

"Anti-Japanese" slogans appeared in those schools at every turn.

This gave Izawa Takio a headache.

"The Suzuki shop is dead."

"The Suzuki store is dead? What are you talking about?"

"My lord, I was wrong. Oh, no, I... I...."

The staff of Taiwan's Governor's Office stuttered.However, he stabilized and said: "Four days ago, Suzuki Store's flour mill in China was acquired by Baoxing Group, and a contract was signed."

"Baoxing Group? What are you doing?"

"My lord, the Baoxing Group is a very powerful company in China. It is the largest flour production company in Asia, and it is also one of the largest textile companies in Asia. I heard that half of the gauze used by the Chinese army is provided by this Baoxing Group .Suzuki Store sold all their flour mills in China to Baoxing Group four days ago."

"What's this."

Izawa Takio was very puzzled.

Due to political reasons, anti-Japanese sentiment in China has been very serious since the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.And this anti-Japanese sentiment is directly reflected in Japanese companies and Japanese goods.Japanese companies are struggling in Japan in China, and the sales of Japanese goods in the Chinese market have plummeted.Therefore, Japanese companies have been losing ground in China in recent years.Japanese banks were incorporated by the Chinese government last year, and most of those textile companies, refined salt companies, and sulfuric acid companies have withdrawn from the Chinese market.

The flour mill of the Suzuki store has been able to persist until now, which is already very powerful.
