Beiyang reactionaries

Between the ruler and the ruled, the ruler always considers how to stabilize his rule.In order to maintain their rule, the ruler may show kindness to the ruled, but he will also oppress the ruled anytime, anywhere.Just like this time when black market gold transactions were checked, in fact, most of them were the gold of many rich people themselves.They have accumulated wealth for several lifetimes, and taking advantage of the current black market trading is very good, they took out the gold in their hands to obtain income.

But it was seized by the government.

The government directly confiscated all the gold on the grounds that these gold transactions were illegal.After the registration is completed, the gold will be kept in the vault of the Bank of China.The gold has since become the property of the government.

13 tons.

Even if the price of gold in the world has dropped sharply now, according to the international price, it is more than ten million U.S. dollars, and it is nearly 4000 million if it is converted into the current domestic legal currency.This is not a small amount.

"Gold and silver are subject to a monopoly system. Prime Minister, we cannot adopt strong measures to collect private gold and silver, which may affect the credit of our currency. Moreover, the proper circulation of gold and silver among the people is good for the economy and is also a way to increase private wealth. Moreover, there is a lot of profit in gold trading. As long as there is enough profit, no matter how we ban it, it is impossible to completely cut off the black market. Therefore, we should tighten and loosen. After the black market is eliminated, this door The business should be taken back by the government.”

"Gold and silver monopoly?"

Why is it said that under China's political system, the government will always be the most powerful party.It is because the government can turn the most profitable business into a monopoly system.

What is the most profitable business in China now?

Salt, tea, wine, tobacco, as well as grain, tung oil, and bristles are the most profitable businesses.However, the more profitable businesses are all monopolized by the government.

Like salt, the annual salt tax and the annual salt monopoly alone bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the state's finances.The same is true for tea and tobacco. The monopoly system provides the finance with income in units of [-] million each year.

Now Wang Yongjiang wants to turn gold and silver trading into a monopoly system.

"Yes."

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said: "Prime Minister, think about it. As we remove gold and silver from daily currencies and severely crack down on gold and silver transactions, no company is allowed to use gold and silver in currency transactions. At that time, don't worry about international How does the gold price change in the market? Anyway, gold and silver will completely lose their role as currency in China. However, after all, the people still have demand for gold jewelry and the like. If the price remains high, black market transactions will become more and more rampant. Therefore, we opened jewelry stores generously and released the supply. At that time, the price of gold and silver, which has no currency function, will naturally drop. Once the domestic gold price drops, hoarding gold and silver at that time The function will be greatly lost. The purpose of many people hoarding gold and silver is to preserve value, because they only believe in gold and silver, not banknotes. But as gold and silver lose their role as currency in the country, the gold needed for daily life is enough, so they only It can be to exchange the hoarded gold and silver for currency. In this way, we can exchange enough gold and silver from the country. Besides, the additional profits of gold and silver jewelry shops are very high. We can buy gold from the private sector at a low price, and then sell it at a high price Jewelry. There will be amazing benefits in the middle, and it will also greatly reduce the cost of the government's exchange for gold."

All Wang Yongjiang thinks about is how to make money.

If it were placed in ancient times, it would inevitably be criticized as "competing with the people for profit".But Duan Xun nodded, agreeing with Wang Yongjiang.Now is a world of great contention, and what the global powers pay attention to is comprehensive national strength.But where does the current comprehensive national strength come from?

Industrial data, the strength of the government, the mobilization ability of the government.

Therefore, what China has to do now is to constantly search for the wealth of the whole country and transfer that wealth to the industrial field.

"That's a good idea. What about inflation?"

"Prime Minister, I have also thought about this. There is only one best way for the extra funds to be spent on industrial products, so that more funds will flow into consumer industrial products. Let them buy more industrial products , This will not only increase the price of industrial products, promote industrial development, but also continue to suppress the price of rural land. It will make more rural landlords give up their land and go to the city, including their funds.”

Rural policy is really careful.

Duan Xun wants to keep rural land prices falling without affecting food production.In fact, Duan Xun mainly attacked the landlords and self-cultivating peasants in the countryside.

It might be bad, but it's something that can't be helped.

Those poor farmers, as long as they have something to eat, as long as they can satisfy their food and clothing, then they will be grateful to the government and they will work hard on the land.But landlords and self-cultivators have their own land, which will affect the government's rural policy.Therefore, what Duan Xun has to do is to continue to suppress the prices of agricultural products, and then increase the prices of industrial products.Use this model to fight off all the additional profits in the countryside.There is no benefit at all in letting the landowners and self-cultivators in the countryside cultivate the land.On the contrary, for many landlords, farming is already a money-losing business.Forcing landlords to spit out their land, forcing them to transfer funds to the cities.

Rural land prices plummeted.

At that time, there will be only one result, those poor people who only want food and clothing, they will continue to be attached to the land leased by the government, continue to be the government's "farmers", and obey the government's command.But those landlords and self-cultivating farmers obviously own their own land, but because of the drop in land prices and the drop in agricultural product prices, they will be the first to go bankrupt.

Rural land prices will continue to fall as they go bankrupt.

At that time, the government will have many ways to take back these lands.Duan Xun's policy of suppressing agricultural products will last at least 20 years.Landlords who can withstand bankruptcy within 20 years can only be said to be very powerful.

Duan Xun's goals for agriculture are simple.

Use 20 years to increase the amount of cultivated land in the country to more than 25 billion mu.For this goal, actively develop the land in the border areas, and then increase the proportion of the national arable land controlled by the government to more than 90.00%.At that time, it will be easier for the government to implement various policies in the countryside.

"continue."

"Crack down on the housing leasing industry, and impose heavy taxes on those who own a lot of properties and live by renting them out. Then reduce the procedures for buying and selling houses, reduce the handling fees for buying and selling houses, and activate the housing buying and selling in cities. Let the big cities now use house leasing as a The Lord’s situation has completely changed. Let more funds flow into urban housing in addition to the industrial product consumption market.”

"What if housing prices in big cities continue to rise?"

"There is no way for house prices to rise in big cities. If you look at Shanghai, you can see that the population is increasing so fast that it has more than doubled within a few years. There is such a shortage of houses that it is impossible for house prices not to rise. The only The best way is to increase housing supply and rapidly promote urban expansion to suppress housing prices.”

"Increasing housing supply? Urban expansion?"

"Yes. Prime Minister, what I mean is to set up a department to manage urban development and be responsible for urban expansion. This includes issuing qualification certificates to urban development companies. Companies without such certificates are not allowed to participate in urban development or urban construction. In this way The money that's pouring into the housing market, we'll be able to contain it."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

As industrialization proceeds, urban development is necessary, as is urban expansion.But who should eat this piece of cake is a big question.

The current situation is that rich people across the country are willing to flood into big cities, and their funds are also pouring into cities.The result is that the housing prices in the city are rising, and the result is that the city must be expanded.As long as the city expands, the profits inside will not be a little bit.

What Wang Yongjiang meant was that the government should eat this piece of cake.Establishing a special management department, especially the issuance of so-called qualification certificates, can make the current privately owned real estate companies withdraw from this industry at once.

"But the government has no money."

Duan Xun said the biggest problem.

To form some large real estate companies, especially if they want to undertake government expansion projects, they need to invest funds in the early stage.But the biggest problem for the government is that it has no money.

Why did the Shanghai Municipal Government propose to sell land to raise funds.It is because the Shanghai Municipal Government does not have much money to expand the city.

How to develop without money.

Wang Yongjiang smiled and said: "Prime Minister, there are many housing development companies and construction companies in big cities in China. Many of them have strong financial strength. But as long as we are the cardholders, none of them will be able to get the qualification certificate. When the time comes Don't say that they can't participate in urban construction, and they don't want to participate in other businesses related to housing construction."

"You want a government-business partnership?"

Duan Xun guessed what Wang Yongjiang meant at once.

"Yes. Prime Minister, the government has no money, but the government has land. Those developers have money, but it is impossible to obtain the land needed for urban expansion, and it is also difficult to obtain qualification certificates."

"Co-organized by government and business, co-organized by government and business."

The government is short of money.

But if the people have money, the best way is to introduce private funds.Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Tell me specifically."

498

"Be specific."

"Prime Minister, let me give you the example of Shanghai."

"kindness."

Shanghai is the economic center and financial center of China. Many economic reforms in Shanghai directly affect the reforms in other cities across the country.In particular, Shanghai has the most developed light industry and the most active economy.

Therefore, Shanghai's reforms have attracted the most attention.

"Prime Minister, there are now more than 7000 large and small housing development companies and construction companies in Shanghai. Of course, many of them are small companies with average strength. They undertake small buildings, or they are just intermediaries for house sales. They have no strength. We can completely ignore them, and they don't have much capital in their hands. But those development companies and construction companies that rank high in Shanghai are all powerful, and some companies have total assets of more than ten million. The main ones in Shanghai They are responsible for the buildings. We can gather them together, as long as we concentrate a few of them, then the financial strength will be very strong. If you add the land to be expanded in Shanghai, the total assets will be combined. It is an amazing development company with total assets of more than [-] million yuan. With their funds, plus the support of the bank and the land they control, the Shanghai expansion plan can go smoothly. If the Shanghai Municipal Government's Shanghai expansion plan goes smoothly , then the current surge in population in Shanghai has led to a serious shortage of housing, which must be a huge relief. Not only can it greatly alleviate the situation of rising housing prices, but also the Shanghai urban expansion plan can bring huge income to the Shanghai Municipal Government, and also Bring huge income to these companies. Not to mention that this is still an attempt to see how the cooperation between government land and private capital works. If this model in Shanghai works well, other big cities can follow suit. "
