Beiyang reactionaries

On the contrary, the country's agriculture has been smooth in recent years, and it has always been smooth.Therefore, there has not been any food problem in our country in recent years.In the past few years, the weather has been smooth and the food has been guaranteed, so it stands to reason that food prices should not rise.It's just because China's inflation has been relatively strong in recent years, so the price of urban food will rise.

And as more and more arable land is opened up, the total grain output has been rising. In 1928, China's grain output had increased to 3300 billion catties.

The grain output in 1928 was 1927 billion catties higher than that in 100.The reason for this is that apart from the continuous increase in the area of ​​cultivated land for land reclamation, the main reason is that the Ministry of Agriculture has begun to persuade the people in the north to plant high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.But after all, corn and sweet potatoes are not the rations of Chinese people, and they are not in line with Chinese traditions.Therefore, the scale of planting is still not very large.

At present, the area of ​​arable land planted with corn and sweet potatoes in the northern region is just over 10%, or about 13%.But just by improving this point, the increase in food production is really a lot.

If about 30% of the arable land in the north can be planted with crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, then there will be no problem in increasing it by another 300 billion catties on the current basis.

So this cabinet meeting is a unity meeting and a successful meeting.

Anyway, it can be said that all walks of life are very good, and all departments of the central government are announcing the good news.Not only the various departments of the central government, but also the various provinces and cities below are also full of good news.

But it was precisely because of the rapid development that the cabinet decided to stabilize in 1929.Consolidate the achievements of the past five years.After the cabinet meeting, a cabinet committee meeting was held soon.

For the 1929 work a new deployment was made.

The first is the field of agriculture, which continues to open up wasteland in the northern region.Under the circumstances that the yield per mu cannot be increased on a large scale, the most effective way is still to increase the area of ​​cultivated land.The plan of the Ministry of Agriculture is that in 1929, the amount of arable land in the country will reach about 21 billion mu.And continue to persuade the people in the north to increase the acreage of corn and sweet potatoes.The Ministry of Agriculture hoped that in 1929, more people in the north could be persuaded to allow more than 15% of the planting area of ​​corn and sweet potatoes, so that the total grain output of the country would reach 3500 billion catties.

This also includes water conservancy facilities.

After the Ministry of Agriculture took over the command of the corvee in 1927, it began to invest in the construction of vigorous water conservancy facilities.This includes cooperation with the Ministry of Electric Power to build hydropower plants, as well as build reservoirs and canals.

More people are more powerful, this sentence is really not a joke.Leaving aside what will happen to an industrial society, in a country like China, which is in the initial stage of industry, more people means more power, and more people means more benefits.At present, there are nearly 20 million people who participate in corvee every year. They participate in corvee for [-] days to one month every year, and there are many things they can do.And it's all free, so it's even more fun to use.

Then there is the Construction Corps.

The Construction Corps already has five major construction corps, including the Northeast Construction Corps, the Mongolian Construction Corps, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Construction Corps, the Xinjiang Construction Corps, and the Petroleum Corps.Among them, the Northeast Construction Corps is the largest and the current main force of the Construction Corps.The size of the Heilongjiang Agricultural Construction Corps has reached 35 divisions and a scale of 50 people.The Northeast Construction Corps also has jurisdiction over the Northeast Infrastructure Corps, which currently has five divisions.In addition, the families of the troops, as well as the Northeast Agricultural University and Northeast University of Chemical Technology under the Northeast Construction Corps, as well as the Northeast Chemical Factory, a fertilizer factory affiliated to the Northeast Construction Corps.

On the whole, the Northeast Construction Corps already has nearly one million people.The Northeast Construction Corps is so large because they not only have officers and soldiers, but also canteens, schools, and factories below.

The Mongolian Construction Corps has five divisions and is stationed in Outer Mongolia.Because of the special situation in Outer Mongolia, the land reclamation area is not large, only about 80 mu in total, and then the development of animal husbandry.

On the contrary, the later-developed Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Construction Corps is not small, and currently has the size of fifteen divisions.The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Construction Corps also has a lot of cultivated land, because there is a lot of abandoned cultivated land in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia area.After the establishment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Construction Corps, it began to reorganize these cultivated lands, and currently owns about 500 million mu of cultivated land.

Then there is the Xinjiang Construction Corps.

This is the latest to be established, but Duan Xun attaches great importance to it.In order to establish the Xinjiang Construction Corps, ten divisions of recruits were recruited from Sichuan and Hunan to enter Xinjiang.Not only the newly formed troops, including Sun Zhen's troops stationed in Xinjiang, have all been transferred to the Xinjiang Construction Corps.Sun Zhen personally served as the commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps.As Sun Zhen's troops and the former Xinjiang troops were all transferred to the Xinjiang Construction Corps, the Xinjiang Construction Corps now has [-] divisions.

The large-scale farming model of the Construction Corps is for the development of agricultural mechanization.Develop the advantages of mechanization, develop agricultural modernization, and build some large granaries for the country.You can know it from the Northeast Construction Corps.

It is precisely because of this model that the Northeast Construction Corps is able to purchase tractors and fertilizers, and it is also capable of establishing its own university to train agricultural talents.

But in addition to these roles, one of the biggest roles of the Construction Corps is to cultivate and guard the border.

The Construction Corps is half army, half civilian.

They are to defend the frontier like soldiers, but they are also to farm like farmers.Since the establishment of the Construction Corps, the Construction Corps has owned 3000 million mu of arable land.Moreover, these construction corps are all in the border areas, farming the land while also undertaking the task of defending the border.

With the Construction Corps, the security of the frontier can be effectively guaranteed.

The Construction Corps is different from other departments.

He wants to continue to develop.The future goal of the Construction Corps is to have at least 150 divisions, control about 1929 million mu of cultivated land, and continue to strengthen its deterrence in border areas.Therefore, in [-], the Construction Corps still needed to increase the establishment of ten divisions.Then continue to open up wasteland and build arable land to enrich the frontier population.

The situation of the Ministry of Agriculture is similar to that of the Construction Corps. The most important thing at this stage is still agricultural production.

Compared with the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry stopped its previous barbaric development and wanted to stabilize in 1929.After shrinking the front line, make key breakthroughs.The plans proposed by the Ministry of Industry were successively reviewed and approved by Wang Yongjiang, Dai Kan agreed, and finally Duan Xun also signed to support them.

Therefore, in 1929, the Ministry of Industry focused on three things.

One is the steel industry.Although China is already the world's sixth largest steel producer, it cannot compete with European and American powers, or even Japan, in terms of steel technology.Because, needless to say, the European and American powers, even Japan has the ability to develop its own steel industry, which means that Japan has mastered the technology of the steel industry.But China has no steel plants built by itself so far.

Because China's steel production can rise sharply, it is because of the advantage that China is a big country.Because China has coal and iron ore, it can produce pig iron and crude steel as long as it builds steel plants.So there is the current output.

Just like when Zhang Zhidong built Hanyeping Company.At that time, China didn't know anything, and the steel mills didn't know much.But as long as you have money, you can buy machinery and equipment, you can find people to be technicians, and you can build the so-called No. [-] steel plant in Asia.In fact, China's iron and steel industry is now in the same form as Zhang Zhidong's founding of Hanyeping Company, although it has developed somewhat.

Now China's steel factories are completely factories of the genes of the great powers.

The machinery and equipment in the iron and steel plant are imported, and the management and maintenance of the equipment are performed by technicians from foreign powers.The subsequent steel rolling technology also requires the equipment and technology of the great powers.It can be said that without the technical support of the great powers, China's steel industry would not have achieved the current results.

At the beginning, China can ignore it.

After all, China's goal is to rapidly increase China's steel production.However, when China's steel production has reached a certain scale, the Ministry of Heavy Industry is not satisfied with the current steel industry model.Ren Hongjun, Minister of Heavy Industry, is an ambitious person. He hopes that China's steel industry can move towards independence.

Therefore, the Ministry of Heavy Industry took the lead in preparing to build a completely independent steel plant in China.And it is no longer a steel plant with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons, but a steel plant with an annual output of 30 tons.If it can be successful, it means that China has begun to truly master the technology in this area, and China will be able to independently develop its own steel industry in the future.

This also became the top priority of the Ministry of Heavy Industry in 1929.

This is true of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, and so is the Ministry of Chemical Industry.In fact, the Ministry of Chemical Industry has already started. From the second half of 1928, the Ministry of Chemical Industry took the lead, and the Ministry of Agriculture, the Construction Corps, the military, and even chemical companies across the country also participated.

Because the Ministry of Chemical Industry wants to build an ammonium sulfate plant with an annual output of 40 tons.This plan had been approved by Duan Xun as early as 1928.

Chen Tiaofu and Hou Debang have made a construction plan.

In order to establish an ammonium sulfate plant with an annual output of 40 tons, they cooperated with the Ministry of Industry and negotiated with machinery processing enterprises across the country.See if they can make the machinery and equipment needed for the ammonium sulphate plant.Li Zhuchen has already gone to the United States to see the situation of the synthetic ammonia factory in the United States.

Because Chen Tiaofu has determined that the ammonia synthesis plant is mainly imported, but you can try to build a small-scale ammonia synthesis machine in the country.As for the sulfuric acid plant, it is completely assembled and used domestically.

Subsequent production of ammonium sulfate depends on the previous situation.

In addition to the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Chemical Industry, another major project of the Ministry of Industry in 1929 was the Great War of Petroleum.Concentrate about 5 people in the Songliao Basin for the oil battle.

For this oil battle, not only the oil corps was dispatched.The technicians from the Ministry of Industry, the technicians and oil workers sent by Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield, and the technicians sent by Li Siguang and his Institute of Geology.It is really not to find oil and never give up.

This is how 1929 began.

"Hu Hanmin, no."

527

"Hu Hanmin, no."

The congressional elections in 1928 were over, and Congress was finally born after a six-year absence.After the birth of the National Congress, the Speaker of the National Assembly and two Deputy Speakers were elected.

Yang Wei, President of the Provisional Senate, was elected Speaker of the National Assembly.

Although they are both Speakers, the situation is completely different.The so-called provisional Senate is only an alternative to Congress, a temporary body, and does not have many powers.But the Congress is truly China's highest legislative body.

Yang Wei was at most acting as an agent before, but this time he became the speaker of the National Assembly with justification.Wang Jingwei and Wu Jinglian were elected as the two deputy speakers of the National Assembly.

Congress also selected 120 three permanent members of Congress.

Usually, the affairs of the Congress are handled by their members. Other members of the Congress do what they normally do except they participate in the Congress and have the right to propose, review, and vote.

Congressional elections are over.

The next thing is the big presidential election.
