Beiyang reactionaries

Everyone listened carefully.

In my heart, I thought that Dai Kan was making a fuss.In the 30th year of the Republic of China, Manchu Qing made some statistics.But not long after that, Cixi died, Guangxu died, and then the Revolution of [-].After the Revolution of [-], China became even more chaotic. If you beat me today, I will beat you tomorrow. How can the government have time to do some surveys and statistics.

And the Beijing government has no money.

How much will it cost to do some national survey reports?

"We are all decision-makers. And we make decisions based on these statistics. But can we make the right decisions with these outdated data? So I think a national survey is necessary."

"I think we can start with farmland. We should have a detailed grasp of how many fields there are in the country at present, how many fields are controlled by the government, how many are the lands, how many are the schools, how many are the lands without owners, how many are the people who own the land, how many are not There should be a detailed survey of how many farm laborers there are in the fields. Including a census should be conducted to see how many people there are in our country. These are very necessary for us to formulate policies.”

After Dai Kan finished speaking, the venue was very quiet.

Because everyone didn't think that Dai Kan was the first to talk about this problem, so they didn't know how to say it.So he turned to Zhang Lan, the head of agriculture and commerce.Zhang Lan immediately said: "I agree with Premier Dai's statement. my country is an agricultural country, and agriculture is the most important thing. We need to know how much cultivated land we have before we can collect taxes. And only by knowing the conditions of cultivated land can we know how to use it. ways to develop agriculture.”

"I support."

Duan Xun also spoke.

Then he said: "Since ancient times, agriculture has been dependent on the heavens. If the sky is beautiful, the grain can be harvested abundantly. If the sky is not beautiful, the grain will fail, and even lead to famine. But our ancestors never gave up their efforts. Like Chengdu Dujiangyan in the plain, Zhengqu and Baiqu in the Guanzhong plain are all efforts made by our ancestors for agriculture. In order to develop agriculture, there will be more and more water conservancy facilities like this in the future. However, water conservancy facilities cannot be built blindly. First of all, it is necessary to know the situation of rural cultivated land before making a decision. Therefore, it is very necessary to know the detailed situation of rural cultivated land and the situation of rural labor force.”

In fact, Duan Xun wants to conduct a census of land conditions across the country in order to reduce rent and interest in the future.

Duan Xun has already started a campaign to reduce rent and interest rates in his hometown of Sichuan.At present, it cannot be said that it is very smooth, but it is not too bad, and it can still be implemented.Of course, Sichuan did not fully promote rent reduction and interest rate reduction, but it also gave Duan Xun a model.However, to implement it nationwide, Duan Xun must first grasp the country's land situation and the country's rural situation before he can promote the movement of reducing rent and interest.

It's just that Duan Xun's ass has not yet settled down, so he doesn't dare to shout about rent reduction and interest rate reduction.

So just start from another angle.

"can."

Wang Chonghui expressed his attitude with a very simple word.

Because Wang Chonghui also thought that Dai Kan's proposal was good.Accurately grasping the current situation of China's cultivated land is good for obtaining tax revenue accurately.It is also good for the development of agriculture.

"After the meeting, I immediately started planning in this area. At the next meeting, I will come up with a plan."

Zhang Lan accepted the order.

Another issue passed.

"Then let me talk about border security."

305 Cabinet meeting 2

"Then let me talk about border security."

After Dai Kan finished speaking, Duan Xun answered.

Wang Chonghui also looked at Duan Xun with more interest.Wang Chonghui was very interested in Duan Xun, a general who came to Beijing from a local warlord.As a warlord, Duan Xun's reputation in China is so good that even a literati like Wang Chonghui finds it unbelievable.How could a general from Qiu Ba have such a good reputation.

Speaking of which, Duan Xun's only criticism is that he is too close to Japan.But it was only criticized, and there were no more accusations.Even Shi Liangcai, who has always dared to speak and scold, mostly praised Duan Xun in the newspapers.

Apart from this, Duan Xun has almost nothing to be attacked.Duan Xun's troops have good military discipline, and the places under Duan Xun's control will quickly settle down.Moreover, Duan Xun himself has no scandals in his private life, and he has never heard of Duan Xun being greedy for money or sex.Moreover, he also did a few head-on confrontations with the big powers, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese people.He has a very good reputation among the people, and he is even more like an idol among those young people.

Such a person made Wang Chonghui very interested.

Really as rumored?Is it the national hero mentioned in the newspaper?

Or the reincarnation of "Cao Cao".

After Duan Xun takes over Beijing, what will he do?

This is what Wang Chonghui is very interested in.

"Everyone knows that I am a border supervisor. Before I served as a border supervisor, I was also a southwest border supervisor. I have dealt with Tibet issues, Mongolia issues, and Hulunbuir issues. I feel that when dealing with these border issues There is only one deepest one. The reason why they have independent forces is not only the instigation of foreign forces, but also because they are too far away from us. When I sent troops from Yulin to Kulun to solve the issue of autonomy in Outer Mongolia, It took more than 40 days for my vanguard to arrive at Kulun. The inconvenient transportation leads to limited communication between everyone, and limited communication will naturally cause a gap between each other. Moreover, the border area is too far away. Once there is something, we can't react at all. In the future, it is impossible for the army to arrive quickly. So I think one way to solve the frontier problem is to increase exchanges. From any point of view, these frontier areas should increase transportation construction.”

"General Duan, I don't know how to strengthen the traffic construction."

This is a frontier issue.

Wang Chonghui will not stop it, on the contrary, he will be very supportive.So he immediately asked Duan Xun how to strengthen traffic construction.Duan Xun also knew a lot about Wang Chonghui after being in contact during this period of time.

Although this person is a jurist who has returned from studying abroad, he still has a very traditional literati background in his bones.

Hard tempered.

He will not compromise on what he thinks is wrong.But again, Wang Chonghui doesn't have much ambition, whether it's power ambitions or political ambitions.No matter in any aspect, he does not seem to have the characteristics that a politician should have. Wang Chonghui is definitely not a qualified politician, Duan Xun can be sure of this.As a literati and a political figure who supports the ridiculous "good man politics", Wang Chonghui can really be called a gentleman.

As long as he thinks it is good for the country, he is very supportive.

"I think at present, the most dangerous place is Mongolia. Therefore, I propose to extend the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway (the railway from Beijing to Zhangjiakou) and build the railway to Kulun in Outer Mongolia. This has two advantages. First, it can increase the number of people in the mainland. Economic exchanges, political exchanges, and cultural exchanges with Outer Mongolia can effectively eliminate the barriers between each other. The second point is to increase military convenience. Once anything happens in Outer Mongolia, we can use it The railway quickly mobilizes troops. With the railway, it can increase military deterrence and completely guarantee the stability of Outer Mongolia. Therefore, I think that in the national railway plan, this kind of railway that is related to frontier security and national defense security can be laid first.”

"The second is Xinjiang. The west section of the Longhai Railway has been built to Baoji. I hope to start laying the railway from Baoji to Xinjiang. I know that whether it is the Jinglun Railway (Beijing to Kulun) or the railway to Xinjiang, It is not cost-effective economically. It is not as economically beneficial as laying the Guangdong-Han Railway and the Sichuan-Han Railway. But our government departments should not only consider economic benefits, but also consider border security issues.”

"Prime Minister (Wang Chonghui), everyone, I hope that the laying of these two railways will be completed within the next ten years. In this way, after ten years, our country's frontiers will be stable. I propose that the cabinet approve the plan to build these two border safety railways, and then Make this plan public. Let the people of the country know how much our new government attaches great importance to frontier security."

Wang Chonghui didn't answer immediately.

After thinking for a while, he said, "General Duan, although I don't know exactly how much the two railways will cost. But whether it's in Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, or Gansu, the construction of the railways shouldn't be easy. few."

"Of course. According to the distance and difficulty, I think the two railways need at least nearly [-] million funds."

"General Duan, the financial pressure is very high."

Wang Chonghui sighed.

Wang Chonghui did not object to the construction of these railways.Even if he has money, Wang Chonghui is willing to build railways in all major cities across the country.But building a railway is not so easy, how much does it cost.

The financial situation of the Beijing government is very poor.

Even if Duan Xun merged the tax revenue of those provinces under his control to the Beijing government, the [-] million railway construction funds would definitely be a difficult matter to solve.The biggest problem in building railways is money.

"Prime Minister, frontier security is as big as the sky. For those railways that make money, we can raise private funds and let them participate in the shares. In this way, we can save the funds for railway construction and build these railways."

"General Duan, as long as the finances allow, I will not object."

Wang Chonghui looked at Duan Xun, then at Wang Yongjiang, and finally nodded.

This is a good thing.

Nothing to think about, is a really good thing.Anyway, Wang Chonghui knew that the finances of the Beijing government would be in the hands of Duan Xun.As long as Duan Xun is willing to build this railway and has the ability to build this railway, then Wang Chonghui will not object.

"Thank you Prime Minister. I will work with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Communications to come up with a detailed railway development plan and submit it to the Prime Minister for approval."

Duan Xun paid great attention to such details.

Because a scholar like Wang Chonghui usually seems to be very talkative, but he cares about this attitude very much.In any case, Wang Chonghui is now the prime minister of the cabinet, and the legitimate head of the cabinet.
