Beiyang reactionaries

When Duan Qirui stepped down, Dong Kang followed suit.

Later, Dong Kang followed Wang Yitang and defected to Duan Xun, and served as the president of the court in Duan Xun's border supervision office.Those people in the judiciary circle of the Beijing government are all descendants of Dong Kang. They still worked under Dong Kang in the early years, and some were even Dong Kang's assistants.If it hadn't been for Dong Kang's late failure, serving as a puppet government official in his later years and becoming a traitor that everyone despises, he should have become a generation of bigwigs in the judicial circle.

So Duan Xun suggested Dong Kang, and Wang Chonghui couldn't say anything.

"It would be great if Mr. Sutra is willing to take over the position of interim attorney general."

Wang Chonghui could only accept it.

Although Wang Chonghui knew that Dong Kang belonged to Duan Xun, he still nodded.If Dong Kang, a big figure in the judiciary, is willing to take up the post of interim chief justice, there is nothing to say.If Duan Xun recommended Dong Kang, but Wang Chonghui refused, then Wang Chonghui would be scolded instead.

"Prime Minister, is that the deal?"

"it is good."

Duan Xun is in a good mood.

Duan Xun, Xu Qian's chief justice, had long wanted to win, but there was no excuse.But this time the stupefied young man Jingtang wanted to issue an arrest warrant even though Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi had left the field, but Xu Qian stopped him.

It gave Yang Yongtai a handle and Duan Xun an excuse.In fact, as long as Weng Jingtang does not continue to pursue and fight this matter, Duan Xun will not be able to continue to issue arrest warrants.Unexpectedly, Weng Jingtang is really a stupefied young man, completely disregarding the unspoken rules of the current political circle, he must issue a wanted warrant.

Weng Jingtang was wrong politically, but Xu Qian was wrong legally.That's why Duan Xun was given an excuse. Yang Yongtai hit Xu Qian in a panic, and finally he had to resign himself.

Ministry of Justice.

This is a very powerful department.

Look at the Attorney General's Office.

With one case, how big a storm can be caused.

"Continue with the meeting."

"Premier, Premier Duan, Premier Dai, our Ministry of Finance has a proposal."

"President Wang, please tell me."

Wang Yongjiang shared the information in his hands with everyone, and then said: "I have given you a copy of the investigation by our Ministry of Finance. According to the investigation by our Ministry of Finance, at present, small and medium-sized enterprises in our country, starting from textile factories, flour Whether it is a factory, an oil mill, or a paper company, their current situation is very dangerous. I have written the specific reasons above, but I will briefly introduce it.”

"Currently foreign textiles, flour, oil extraction and other things, because of the low tariff rate and the inability to collect taxes in China, the prices of their commodities are lower than our own small and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, my country's small and medium-sized enterprises cannot develop. The market is very dull, which is not conducive to economic development. Therefore, our Ministry of Finance believes that we should activate the market. Only when the market is active can the economy develop.”

Duan Xun put down the materials in his hand and said to Wang Yongjiang: "President Wang, just tell me. How can we activate the market."

Everyone is looking at Wang Yongjiang.

Who doesn't know the Beijing government now, the biggest problem of the Beijing government is the lack of money.Counting from Yuan Shikai's time, Duan Xun is currently the government that is least short of money.But even so, there is too much money for disaster relief at present, and the only way is to issue disaster relief bonds.

Anyone who can help the Beijing government earn money is a great contributor.

So everyone looks at Wang Yongjiang.I want to see how the God of Wealth behind Duan Xun can help the government make money.

"I think what our government can do is give them a level playing field. The same treatment as foreign goods in terms of taxation."

"President Wang, what do you mean, no taxes are collected?"

"of course not."

Wang Yongjiang shook his head and said: "What I mean is to reduce taxes for our small and medium-sized enterprises. Set their tax rates according to the tariff rates, so that they will have sufficient competitiveness with imported goods."

"Will this affect the government's fiscal revenue?"

Duan Xun asked Wang Yongjiang.

Wang Yongjiang shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Duan, I have already compiled a financial income statement in my report. At present, because these small and medium-sized enterprises are not active and the number is small, the tax revenue from them is not much, and it is even almost enough. The degree of neglect. At present, China's fiscal revenue mainly comes from agricultural tax, income from various exports, customs surplus income, and income from some government industries. The tax revenue of these small and medium-sized enterprises is very low. During the European War a few years ago , the taxation of these small and medium-sized enterprises has been active for a while, but now it is in a downturn. Especially when foreign goods are dumped in, most of the small and medium-sized enterprises that developed during the European War went bankrupt. We cannot collect taxes on imported products, which leads us to The fiscal revenue in this area has dropped a lot. We can only increase our tax revenue if we let our enterprises develop."

Duan Xun carefully looked at Wang Yongjiang's report.

In fact, Duan Xun and Wang Yongjiang discussed this matter.Duan Xun has carefully considered the current situation in China, and wants to invest a large amount of funds in heavy industry, but Duan Xun does not have the strength.

The Beijing government does not have that strength either.

It is completely impossible.

Like New China, like the Soviet Union, Duan Xun did not have that kind of organizational ability.Therefore, Duan Xun can only learn from some developments of the Soviet Union and New China, not copy them.

Duan Xun is now developing heavy industry, at most he can develop mining industry, develop some power plants and the like.It is impossible to develop such large-scale machinery and equipment as the equipment manufacturing industry.Because there is no market at all.

Therefore, Duan Xun can only adopt another method.

Develop other industries first, such as simple light industry, which can defeat foreign commodity light industry.To develop those light industries, first develop some markets.Then follow their development to drive the development of simple equipment manufacturing industry.

This is currently the method Duan Xun has chosen out of desperation.

Active private capital.

So let Wang Yongjiang think about how to activate private capital and how to activate the market.After these days of discussion, Wang Yongjiang finally came up with his plan.Reduce taxes for China's domestic industries, and adopt a tax rate similar to that of imported goods, so as to mobilize the vitality of domestic enterprises.

After all, even with tax cuts, national enterprises can still collect taxes.But for those imported goods, except for customs, the government cannot directly collect taxes.How to look at the development of one's own national economy is more beneficial to finances.

Of course, the more important thing is to let those rural landlords use their money to do business.

"anything else?"

"In terms of government procurement, lean towards our enterprise."

"for example."

"Prime Minister Duan, let me give you the simplest example. At present, the textbooks used in schools in China, and the paper used in the textbooks are either British or Japanese. Our own paper mills have basically gone bankrupt because they can't find a market. Even the paper mill invested by a wealthy family in Nanxun has gone bankrupt. Because the quality of the paper we produce is inferior to that of imported paper, and more importantly, the price is higher than that of imported goods. That is Because there are too many taxation items for them in the country, their cost is too high, and they have no money for technical transformation. Now they are bankrupt and the tax is gone. In the end, it is our finances that are unlucky. Therefore, I think our government procurement On the one hand, we should take care of them. In the early stage of their development, the government should use this method to give them preferential treatment and help them. At present, 90.00% of China's paper industry is imported goods. Except for tariffs, our government can't get a silver dollar. If so many shares are our own enterprises, then our government can have millions of taxes every year. This is just one industry. At present, except for a small part of the industry, other industries are flooded by imported goods , our finances are unable to receive money. If these industries become our factories, then they will bring hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of taxes to the finances every year. This is just the simplest calculation.”

"In addition to direct financial support, the factory will drive a large number of workers and drive a large number of surrounding industries to develop together. The indirect benefits to our finances are amazing."

Wang Yongjiang introduced the benefits of doing so.

tax cuts.

This is not a large-scale tax cut, but just to give small and medium-sized enterprises a chance to directly compete with imported goods and to cultivate large-scale own small and medium-sized enterprises.Let them develop and then collect taxes from them.

Belonging is a choice of desperation.

In fact, as long as China can make independent economic decisions, there is no need for tax cuts at all.As long as the tariff rate is increased and the tax on imported goods is levied, the imported goods will not have many advantages except for the quality advantage.But the current situation is that the Chinese government still depends on the face of the big powers in this regard.Don't look at Duan Xun looking strong, but in fact he doesn't dare to make a move in this regard.

Don't dare to levy taxes on imported goods at will.

Because once this happens, it is not one or two businessmen who offend, but those big powers.Therefore, under such circumstances, what the Beijing government can do is to make some changes to its own enterprises.

Although it was a cabinet meeting, there were not many people who really had a solution to the economy, and many people actually couldn't understand what Wang Yongjiang meant.At most, I can understand some.

Duan Xun nodded frequently.
