Beiyang reactionaries

Said: "Prime Minister Liang, in the year of 300, except for those families with hundreds of years and thousands of years of inheritance, the millionaires in Shanghai were all top rich. After the European war ended, the number of millionaires in Shanghai increased. More than ten times. In Shanghai, there are many millionaires with millions of millions. Later, as China took back customs, canceled the privileges of foreign goods, unified the domestic market, canceled many miscellaneous taxes, and lowered the commercial tax rate. The rapid development of domestic enterprises has made them bigger and bigger. Like Liu Hongsheng, when the European War ended, his net worth was only 1928 to 2000 million. But ten years later, in 5000, he was already a rich man with a net worth of more than [-] million And since the start of the Second Five-Year Plan, domestic enterprises have developed at a rapid pace, and millionaires are born every day in the country. A rich man like Liu Hongsheng, not to mention other assets, is the Shanghai Cement Plant that he jointly established with the Shanghai Municipal Government , the current asset value exceeds [-] million.”

"And Liu Hongsheng is not an exception. There are too many rich people who have risen in Shanghai over the years, and not one or two are worth more than Liu Hongsheng. During the First Five-Year Plan, there were countless people who got rich after Shanghai's large-scale expansion. The current Shanghai , Those with a net worth of millions can only be regarded as ordinary rich. This is not only the case in Shanghai, but also in Fengtian Province. Although it is not as rich as Shanghai, there have been a large number of factories and a large number of rich people in recent years. Private capital Expansion, the wealth of private tycoons far exceeds our imagination."

Duan Xun listened quietly to Dan Maoxin's words.

The gap between rich and poor.

In China, not only the gap between urban and rural areas is astonishing, but also the gap between rich and poor.The current economic policy has created a large number of rich people in China.

This was not Duan Xun's original intention.

Duan Xun does not want the gap between rich and poor in China to be too alarming.But the situation is like this, and it does not develop according to Duan Xun's will.Duan Xun liberalized the market and encouraged the private economy, resulting in the emergence of a large number of national capitalists.During the Second Five-Year Plan, the government released water on a large scale, and the money supply increased greatly.This makes these national capitalists powerful rapidly.Many top rich people took advantage of this opportunity to double their assets several times.

"Prime Minister, many people's assets are inflated, but their investment goals are getting less and less."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's talk about Shenyang. In recent years, prices have risen a lot, but salary increases are limited. Although the market is constantly expanding with the increase in Shenyang's population, the growth rate of the market is far behind the increase in factory production. .Many aspects are already saturated.”

purchasing power issue.

The market for daily necessities in China has begun to saturate.

The biggest driving force of China's economy is definitely not consumption, because China's consumption potential has not yet been released.To put it bluntly, the Chinese are still very poor and cannot afford more things.Of course, as the urban population increases, the market is of course also increasing rapidly.But this market does not grow as fast as the production of manufactured goods.There are only industries related to government investment. With the government's large investment and construction, business in these areas is easy to do.

"So many people have funds in their hands and are looking for investment targets. For Fengtian alone, there are many businessmen with excess funds in their hands. The amount of funds in their hands is not a small amount."

"Do you hope that the Ministry of Electricity can relax the restrictions on civilian investment?"

"Yes."

But Mao Xin nodded.

Dao: "Prime Minister, in big cities, power plants are very profitable factories, and their income and profits are very stable. The higher the installed capacity of a power plant, the higher its income and profits. Therefore, for many people , are very willing to invest in power plant projects. And the larger the power plant project, the more interested they are. However, due to the restrictions of the Ministry of Electric Power, many private funds that want to enter the power industry cannot enter. This seriously affects my country's electric power industrial development."

Power plants are very profitable.

In the process of industrialization, because electricity is in short supply, power plants are profitable projects.I don't know how much private capital is willing to enter this industry.

It's just that the Ministry of Electric Power currently has a lot of restrictions on private capital.

"If the Ministry of Electricity releases this restriction, can you, Fengtian, have the means to independently build large-scale power plants?"

"Have."

But Mao Xin answered in the affirmative.

He said to Duan Xun: "Prime Minister, as long as the Ministry of Electric Power releases this restriction and gives us enough power in Fengtian Province, then I guarantee that our provincial government can build a power plant by itself without a penny of investment from the Economic and Development Commission."

Duan Xun did not speak immediately.

Instead, after thinking for a while, he turned his head and said to Liang Huankui: "Prime Minister Liang, you send a telegram to Beijing with Governor Dan's meaning and your thoughts. Let Premier Wang (Wang Yongjiang), Premier Yan (Yan Huiqing) and the others Discuss it and take the opinion of the Ministry of Electricity as well."

"Yes."

Liang Huankui nodded.

Although Duan Xun didn't say it, Liang Huankui already understood what Duan Xun meant.Because if Duan Xun disagreed, Liang Huankui would not be allowed to send a telegram to Beijing, and Wang Yongjiang and Yan Huiqing would not be allowed to discuss it.

"But Governor, don't just boast. If the Development Commission approves private capital to enter the construction of large-scale power plants, but you cannot complete the power plant project, then you will be held accountable."

"Prime Minister, don't worry."

But Mao Xin is also a smart person.

He already understood that Duan Xun supported his opinion, so he was determined.As long as the above policies are relaxed, Maoxin will have a way to raise funds.Fengtian people are not short of money.

Moreover, there are so many large coal mines and large steel factories in Fengtian, and these large factories have funds in their hands.It is also for their sake that Fengtian wants to build a large power plant.

Everyone should pay.

But Mao Xin is a person who makes decisions before acting, and has already made several plans.

"Let's go to the car factory in the afternoon."

"Yes."

"Prime Minister, this is the situation in the first quarter of the Northeast Construction Corps."

This time in the Northeast, Duan Xun inspected many cities.

The first stop is Shenyang, the second stop is Changchun, the third stop is Harbin, and the fourth stop is Qiqihar.Except for Dalian and Anshan, Duan Xun visited all the important cities in the Northeast.

The industrial zone centered on Shenyang includes the cities of Shenyang, Benxi, Fushun and Anshan.It has become China's largest steel base and coal base. There are three steel plants with an annual output of more than one million tons, and two steel plants with an annual output of more than 50 tons.The steel output of the Shenyang Industrial Zone alone is 500 million tons.And the Fushun Coal Mine Plant, the largest coal mine in Northeast China, currently produces more than 4000 million tons a year.

When inspecting Shenyang, Duan Xun mainly inspected the factories settled in the Second Five-Year Plan.But at the same time, I also briefly inspected the situation of the steel industry and the coal industry, and listened to their reports.

To the north, Changchun served as an intermediate city after the Russo-Japanese War.From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the establishment of the Soviet Union, Changchun has always functioned as a transit city for Northeast trade.

The development of Harbin is the best in Northeast China.

Because the cabinet defines Harbin as the Northeast trade center city and the Northeast financial center city, Harbin's development speed is astonishing, and it is also the wealthiest city in the Northeast.Harbin gathers domestic and foreign financial institutions, various trading companies, various processing enterprises, and various transportation companies.

And because of the support of the cabinet, a large number of colleges and universities appear here.The universities under the Construction Corps are all in Harbin.Let Harbin quickly become the city with the best education in Northeast China.

Then there is Qiqihar.

Qiqihar used to be used as a military role, but now Qiqihar is developing very fast.Because Qiqihar is the capital of Heilongjiang Province.Heilongjiang has always been a place with few people.

However, the population of Heilongjiang has increased in recent years, and the current population of Heilongjiang has reached about 1400 million.In addition, Heilongjiang is also the seat of the headquarters of the Northeast Construction Corps and the headquarters of the Petroleum Corps. Their existence is promoting the development of Qiqihar.

Duan Xun came to Qiqihar this time to see the development of Qiqihar.After arriving in Qiqihar, Duan Xun first talked with people from the Heilongjiang provincial government, and then met with Deng Yanda, commander of the Northeast Construction Corps.

"Just now Governor Tang (Tang Shizun) filed a complaint against me, saying that your Construction Corps is too domineering."

Duan Xun flipped through the report of the Northeast Construction Corps, and talked to Deng Yanda with a smile.Deng Yanda immediately complained: "Prime Minister, according to the law, our Construction Corps has handed in more than 30 billion catties of grain and hundreds of millions of taxes every year in the past few years. The Heilongjiang Provincial Government alone can get 5000 to [-] million. Taxes. At present, half of the provincial government's fiscal revenue is handed over by our Construction Corps. There is no reason to say that we are overbearing."

"Do you know what Governor Tang said?"

There are serious conflicts of interest between local governments, between local governments and factories directly under the central government, and between local governments and departments directly under the cabinet such as the Construction Corps.

Everyone wants to get more benefits.

Less than a day after Duan Xun came to Qiqihar, Tang Shizun and Duan Xun sued the Construction Corps for being domineering, and Deng Yanda and Duan Xun took credit for their grievances.Duan Xun said: "Governor Tang said that your Construction Corps is domineering, taking all the projects that can make money in Heilongjiang into your arms, not giving the provincial government or the people of Heilongjiang a way of life. And monopolizing the cultivated land in Heilongjiang."

"Prime Minister, this is really unjust."

Deng Yanda continued to complain.
