The Government was formed, the name of the army was decided, and the Provisional Executive Council began to announce other resolutions. The first is to improve the treatment of engineering personnel, who previously received 15% subsidy points for their work points, and after that, they will receive 30% subsidy points for their work points.

At the same time, a "village-township" grass-roots administrative system was established in the rural areas of Tianjin, and according to Li Songchen's proposal, a land distribution and taxation system was implemented in the rural areas. Moreover, in the future, in the promotion and appointment of officials within the group, in addition to more technical positions, priority will be given to the appointment of personnel with grass-roots work level.

These resolutions are all from Li Songchen's proposal, which has aroused great attention from the Provisional Executive Committee, and made the five permanent members realize that in the current time-traveling group, a considerable number of people are greatly affected by the time-traveling novels of the old time and space, thinking that time-traveling is a very easy thing, and they just want to sit back and enjoy their achievements, greedy for pleasure, but they are unwilling to work hard, and they are unwilling to work in a difficult environment at the grassroots level.

This phenomenon must be stopped, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the development of the entire crossing group, and it is necessary to vigorously promote the spirit of hardship and hard work among the traversers, but hard work, it is natural to improve the treatment, and the vast majority of the traversers lack administrative management experience, so working at the grassroots level, not only can cultivate the spirit of hardships and hard work of the traversers, but also accumulate administrative management experience, killing two birds with one stone, so the experience of working at the grassroots level is very important.

The Interim Executive Committee then decided to establish a central bank controlled by the Crossing Group, establish its own financial system, and issue paper currency.

This is the Treasury Department's proposal, because as a modern sovereign state, it must have a banking and financial system controlled by its own government, and it must have the right to issue its own currency.

At this time, the world's major countries are paper money as the main currency in circulation, and in China, silver is still the main currency, copper money as the auxiliary currency, that is, bulk commodities, the government level uses silver, and in the people, small commodity transactions are the use of copper money. Although silver coins also appeared in China at this time, they were not widely available.

But the monetary value of Chinese silver is not measured in the prescribed amount, but in its own weight. Due to the different contents of different types of silver, in the process of circulation, there were flat silver, pure silver, broken silver, distiller's lees silver, etc., and even silver utensils could be used as currency, which caused great monetary confusion. The situation of copper coins is slightly better, but copper coins are only used as auxiliary currency, and the value is small, can not balance the role of stabilizing the value of money, in addition, whether it is silver or copper, itself is an important industrial metal, as a currency in circulation, it is obviously a huge waste. The only way to make a decision is to issue banknotes.

And the travelers are accustomed to the use of paper money, and they are very much in favor of the issuance of paper money. However, the issuance of currency, since it is paper money, is not printed out to the people can be used, which must not only have national credit as a guarantee, but also have enough metal currency as a principal guarantee, in this era, the world has entered the gold standard era, there are a few countries still implement the silver standard, or gold and silver double standard, so the paper money issued by each country is based on their own gold or silver reserves as the principal.

Fortunately, through the previous battles, the crossing group now has more than 600,000 taels of silver and more than 10,000 taels of gold, and has a certain reserve of metal currency, so the conditions for issuing paper money are initially prepared.

However, the time for the crossing group to go ashore is too short, and it does not yet have the guarantee of national credit, and the area controlled by the crossing group is limited, so after the issuance of paper money, only the internal circulation of the crossing is currently used, and after the capture of Shandong, the use of paper money is gradually implemented in the occupied area, and slowly replaces silver and becomes the currency in circulation.

In addition to the establishment of banks, the Interim Executive Committee also decided to set up three administrative bodies under the Ministry of Finance: the Department of Industry and Commerce, the Department of Taxation, and the Department of Customs. Responsible for the management of commercial operations, customs, commercial taxation and so on in Tianjin.

Now that Tianjin's military threat has been greatly reduced, it is time to begin to restore Tianjin's economy. Although all the Chinese and foreign shops in the Tianjin Concession were opened at this time, Tianjin's external circulation had not yet recovered, and it was still to no avail, and both Chinese and foreign merchants suffered a lot of losses during this period. After a long time, they saw that this group of overseas Chinese seemed to be easy to talk to, and they were not as unreasonable as the Boxers, and they would oppose every foreign thing, so Chinese and foreign businessmen continued to petition the traversers, hoping to lift the blockade of Tianjin and restore maritime circulation.

For the traversers, there is an urgent need for a stable source of income, and although a rural tax system has been established, agricultural taxes are only seasonal and cannot be collected until the autumn harvest of the following year. Moreover, Tianjin itself is an area with developed foreign trade economy and prosperous commerce, so since Tianjin's economy is to be restored, it is natural to collect customs duties and commercial taxes.

In addition, at this time, China's customs were all controlled by foreigners, of course, foreigners managed China's customs, not completely nothing, first, foreign countries have rich experience in the management of modern customs, which is indeed much stronger than the Qing court; second, because the status of foreigners in China is transcendent, so the customs has not been affected by the corrupt and bad habits of the Qing court officialdom, and the efficiency is much higher than that of other institutions of the Qing court, so after the foreigners manage the Chinese customs, they can bring about 30 million taels of silver to the Qing court every year of customs revenue, accounting for about one-third of the Qing court's fiscal revenue, and become an important part of the Qing court's fiscal revenue。

However, the consequences of foreigners managing China's customs are equally serious, resulting in the inability of China's customs to set its own tax rates, the collection of taxes on foreign goods is extremely low, with an average tariff of only 5%, and foreign goods enter the Chinese mainland after paying customs duties, without paying any other taxes. This has not only greatly reduced the government's fiscal revenue, but has also caused a large number of foreign commodities to rush into China's market with price advantages, which is not conducive to protecting the development of national industry and commerce. Therefore, the travelers also had to reformulate the customs and tax rates.

Of course, the higher the tax rate, the better, because most of Tianjin's economy is supported by foreign businessmen and enterprises, and if the tax rate is set too high, it is easy to trigger a large number of foreign assets to withdraw from Tianjin, which is a considerable blow to Tianjin's economy, so what kind of tax rate is reasonable, this scale should be grasped well, and it needs to be carefully studied.

The Interim Executive Committee also asked the Ministry of Finance not only to set up the structure of this department as soon as possible, but also to come up with an implementation plan for discussion as soon as possible.

The last resolution is the planned establishment of a physical industry belonging to the Crossing Group.

The current crossing group is not completely a state or government organization in the standard sense, but more like a combination of half government and half business. Just like the only physical industrial garment factory established by the current crossing group, it is completely a planned supply system, rather than a commercial operation model. That is to say, the group issued a task plan to the garment factory, and the necessary funds were withdrawn, and the garment factory was only responsible for organizing production, and then handed over the products to the group on time, without considering income and profits, and in addition to the purchase of raw materials, furniture, wages to employees, and maintenance of operating costs, there was no commodity transaction.

This mode of operation is not even a planned economy, because there is only planning, and there is no economic behavior at all. Of course, in the current situation of the crossing group, this highly planned operation system is still feasible, first, the garment factory itself is for the crossing group, and second, the current production capacity of the garment factory can only supply the needs of the crossing group, and there is no spare power to produce more products for commodity circulation.

However, in the long run, the current crossing group not only has a large number of various material needs, but also needs more physical industries, only a garment factory is far from enough, and it is impossible to use the planned supply system all the time, at least to use the planned economic system, and ultimately to return to the market-oriented business operation model.

After the five Standing Committee members synthesized the opinions of various quarters, it was decided that the first batch of real industries to be established would be printing factories, glass factories, carpentry factories, cement factories, brick and tile factories, iron works, and ship repair plants. Some high-profile real industries, such as metallurgical plants, iron and steel plants, chemical plants, shipyards, etc., have been vetoed.

Tianjin lacks sufficient mineral resources, and is not suitable for the establishment and development of large-scale heavy industry projects, and printing plants, glass factories, carpentry factories, cement factories, brick and tile factories are either the production of civilian products, or infrastructure supporting factories, in fact, these factories are now in Tianjin, but the first is that the output is too small, not enough to meet the needs of the group; second, the products produced by these factories are the materials needed by Tianjin, the technical level is not high, the scale can be large or small, and the investment in the early stage is not high. It can be started on a small scale and then slowly expanded, which is very suitable for the current situation of crossing the group.

The ironworks are the most high-tech of these industries, but the main function of the ironworks is to manufacture iron products for daily use, such as iron pots, shovels, kitchen knives, scissors, and various agricultural supplies. The resource requirements are a bit higher, as a lot of iron is required to make these items.

In the previous battle, the crossing group captured a large number of weapons, including a large number of waste guns and cannons, of course, all of which are now scrap metal, adding up to more than 1,000 tons. And even if these scrap iron are recycled into another furnace, they can no longer be used to make guns and weapons, but it is still good to make ordinary iron daily necessities. A lot of resources can be saved.
