Section 326 Wind and rain in the sixth year of the Republic

Wu Chenxuan knew the impact of the First World War better than anyone else, but it was a pity that the Chinese warlords at that time were in a scuffle, and the people were not able to make a living, let alone help the European wars to share the floating wealth, and his own family did not pick up one acre and three points of land. However, China is very different now; although on the surface it seems that the north and the south are antagonistic, the warlords are divided, the political parties are strife, and there is no leader, but Wu Chenxuan, the general minister of national defense, who is not doing his job, holds in his hands the world's largest industrial and commercial trust, the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce of the twin stars, and more than a dozen other large and small commercial organizations, which almost control more than 90 percent of China's economy, and the industrial enterprises are developing rapidly, and the large-scale mechanized agriculture in the north has also achieved initial results. Although there is still some chaos in the Huguang area, Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, has realized the beginning of the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy to order-based agriculture.

The whole Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi farmers go out of their homes to work in the city, and the small fields at home are leased to various types of agricultural companies to unify planting, not only the field income is reduced limited, and the income of migrant workers is mostly times the original farming income, so the rich Jiangnan region is more rich in rural areas, and silk fabrics, flour, food and other agricultural products as raw materials enterprises have also obtained stable raw materials, production costs have to fall quickly into price advantages, The huge gap between the European market and the colonial market brought about by the spread of the European war was quickly squeezed by Chinese enterprises, and in addition to the monopoly of the United States in South America, the markets of Africa and Eurasia were almost collapsed by the impact of Chinese goods.

The statistics of the end of the six years of the Republic of China have made all the national dignitaries in the world have to marvel at the miracle of China's economy.

Balance of urban and rural savings deposits: 19.99 billion yuan, of which time deposits: 13.33 billion yuan, demand deposits: 6.66 billion yuan. State fiscal revenue: 24.927 billion yuan, including various taxes: 12.745 billion yuan, enterprise income: 11.194 billion yuan, other income: 988 million yuan. Among the tax revenues, industrial and commercial taxes: 8.726 billion yuan, customs duties: 466 million yuan, agricultural taxes: 3.072 billion yuan, salt taxes: 481 million yuan. Government expenditure: 23.273 billion yuan. Among them, military expenditure was 4.211 billion yuan, capital construction expenditure was 8.853 billion yuan, additional enterprise working capital was 3.081 billion yuan, education expenditure was 1.902 billion yuan, agricultural expenditure was 1.499 billion yuan, and bereavement pension and social welfare expenditure was 494 million yuan. Other: No official data. Gold reserves: 5 million ounces, foreign exchange reserves: $193 million. Total import and export trade: 1.28 billion US dollars. Among them, exports: 870 million US dollars, imports: 410 million US dollars.

In terms of the distribution of various industries in China: total industrial output value: 53.40 billion yuan, light industry: 59.2%, heavy industry: 40.8%. The total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is 57.5 billion yuan, grain output: 183.94 million tons, cotton output: 1.518 million tons, oil production: 4.827 million tons, pig inventory: 17.92 million sheep, 24.22 million sheep.

Railways: 11,600 km, roads: 97,300 km, civil aviation: 15,500 km, passenger traffic: 17.64 million passengers, freight traffic: 48.91 million tons.

Such data is not just a rapid improvement in one aspect, but an all-round improvement on the basis of maintaining a reasonable structure and comprehensive sectors, China has surpassed Japan, the first in the Far East, and easily become the sixth largest economy in the world (the top five are the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, and Russia). Moreover, except for the United States, the other powers in front of them have all fallen into the quagmire of the European war and cannot extricate themselves, and I believe that by the end of the seventh year of the republic, I am afraid that it will be a sure thing to be in the top five, and Japan is still struggling behind Austria-Hungary, and the gap with China is getting wider and wider.

When this unprecedented world war lasts for more than four years, his huge impact will make a greater change in the rankings, and it is a matter of course that China will surpass Germany and France at that time, except for the United States and Britain, there is no third country that dares to compete with China, and Britain, which has been rapidly weakened after World War I, still has the courage to contend with a powerful Far Eastern country like China in order to maintain a small colony, I am afraid that even if Brother Churchill comes to power, he will not dare to declare war on China at the risk of the world's condemnation, When the time comes, there will be no need to fight, and the war-weary British people alone will be able to turn him into a bull-headed dog with the soles of their shoes. When this European war really turns into a world war, it will bring great disasters to the people of the world, but it will also bring profound changes to world history, and the collapse of the old colonial system will be an inevitable end.

However, the several political parties in the south and the warlords who are about to move will not stop too much, and their roles in Wu Chenxuan's plan still have important chapters to play, so it is still too early for them to end. At the end of the year, the Civic Party caucus in the National Assembly put forward a bill to help the development of poor areas, but the simple financial allocation and support methods and the staggering amount of appropriations made Rong Zongjing, who was sitting in the parliament, vaguely feel a sense of conspiracy. Instead of putting the bill to a vote, he used the Speaker's power to adjourn the bill and set up a parliamentary debate three days later so that everyone could understand the purpose and content of the bill.

However, what was surprising was that the newspapers of the next morning were full of reports about Rong Zongjing and other Xinhua parties deliberately suppressing the southwestern provinces and artificially splitting the country. They deliberately did not mention the parliamentary debate on the bill, but portrayed Rong Zongjing's move to postpone the deliberations as a premeditated persecution of the poor southern provinces by the Xinhua Party in the north, so that by attracting the poor people of the southern provinces to provide cheap labor to the flesh and blood factories of the capitalists in the north, they were completely exploiting the citizens of their own country as colonial slaves.

"The Theory of Industrial Exploitation, well, there is some truth to it." Tieliu Zou Rong's eyes were not angry, but more appreciative, "Although the analysis is somewhat partial and comprehensive, but the words are sharp, the logic is thorough, the thinking is clear, and it is very inflammatory. Speaker Rong, do you know this Mr. Thunderstorm? ”

"An Anhui Huaining Xiucai, born in Guangxu 5 years, also went east to Japan to study, graduated from Waseda University, but also a student." Seeing that Zou Rong was eager to love talents, Rong Zongjing smiled and continued, "His name is Chen Shaoqiu, the word is Zhongyu, he has been in Shanghai since returning to China, and he has run a journal "Jiayin" with Zhang Madman, and this article was first published from his magazine, and the people of the Civic Party reprinted it. ”

"Well, why didn't you dig him up?"

"Dig it, you think it's just you love it." Rong Zongjing smiled bitterly and said, "I asked the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of my subordinate "Zhejiang Shanghai" to hire him with an annual salary of 500 yuan. ”

"Haha, too, who asked you to dig the corner of his crazy man, or use a blockade to disgust his old man. It would be strange if he didn't spray you with a bloody sprinkler. "Zou Rong and Zhang Taiyan used to be old acquaintances, and now they often fight back and forth in the newspaper, and he is very familiar with Zhang Maniac's style.

"Let's not talk about this showman, let's talk about how we deal with this offensive launched by the Civic Party." Rong Zongjing is not worried about his situation, after all, the Xinhua Party is already the largest party, and there are more than a dozen allies, even if the Revolutionary Party and the Civic Party join forces, they are not their opponents.

"You're an expert in parliamentary struggles, so I won't get an axe." Zou Rong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said slowly, "Actually, it's not difficult, they just want to make us fall into a situation where we are getting more and more black through public opinion propaganda." What should I do with the council, Brother Tianhua will come from Qingdao in the afternoon, he is an expert in organizational work, you can discuss with him a lot, there is always a way. On my side, I will launch a propaganda counterattack, but if I don't entangle with the other party, I will come up with evidence of the other party's embezzlement of public funds, as well as evidence of our donations and investments in Yunguichuan over the years, which is enough to keep the other party busy for a while. What's more, when malaria was raging at the beginning of the year, Tzu Chi, the mother's mother, sent 500 to 600 doctors and nurses to Yunnan-Guichuan to help the patients, prevent the epidemic, and donate tens of thousands of tons of food and bedding afterwards. There are countless living people in the southwest region, and they have long become the Buddha of ten thousand families. Believe it or not, as long as we spread the article to the southwest region, the first thing the people in the southwest will tear apart are these reporters from the Civic Party. ”

"When will Brother Tianhua arrive, I have to pick him up." After listening to Zou Rong's propaganda strategy, Rong Zongjing has completely put his mind at ease, in fact, he has never worried that the other party will turn the tables in the parliament, but if he forcibly uses the advantage of parliamentary seats to strangle the opponent, he will be publicized by the other party as evidence of the persecution of a few southern provinces by the northern forces, which may eventually lead to the separation of the north and the south.

During the casual conversation between the two, Zou Rong couldn't help but read Chen Shaoqiu's article, and Rong Zongjing also joked that he was really a money fan who loved his life, and he was a perfect match for himself, an exploitative capitalist. The arrival of Chen Tianhua also brought a class of graduating students from the Youth Cadre Academy. After a day of conversation and analysis, the young men and the big girls were automatically divided into several groups, drawing up plans, making plans, engaging in propaganda, and making plans, and quickly formulating a series of counterattack strategies.

At a glance, Rong Zongjing actually had the same effect as Zou Rong's propaganda war strategy of avoiding the truth and making up for the false, and there was also how to refute the other party's demands in the parliament, how to deal with the other party's instigation of confrontation between the north and the south, and also involved the court's intervention and the strategy of taking the opportunity to eliminate corruption and anti-corruption, and made a brief analysis of the behavior style of the other party's key parliamentarians, how to lure the other party to take the bait, use the other party's mouth to set off a storm of clean government, and take the opportunity to put his hand into the government agencies in the southwest region The damage plan is perfect. Let Rong Zongjing sigh greatly, he is really reluctant to be the speaker, if the other party is not his own team but the opponent, maybe under carelessness, the parliament under the control of the majority party will have a big reversal, where will he have the face to stay in the speaker's seat again?

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it's really terrifying." Shaking the pile of plans in his hand, Rong Zongjing said, if these children leave me a group of seven or eight people as assistants, I think I will be very idle, taking care of my own business, and I don't have to put all the pressure on Desheng's shoulders alone. “

Looking at Rong Zongjing, who sighed vigorously, Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong looked at each other and smiled, when they were substitute teachers in the Youth Cadre Academy, they were not less embarrassed by this group of open-minded, tricky and eccentric students, and now they are alone with three graduate students, but they are not less wits and courage with these children, of course, they know that the students of the Youth Cadre Academy are not mature and wise in age.

"Looking at this thunderstorm's political essay, Wang Yang is unbridled, sharp and sharp, and the style and penmanship are similar to those published last year, "To the Youth", could it be that it was written by the same person?" A young man in a long shirt with a dark face and a small head came over to ask his mentor Chen Tianhua for advice.

"Hehe, your kid's eyes are really poisonous. Yes, it was the same person who did it. Chen Tianhua took the article in his student's hand and read it, he and Zou Rong had already passed the anger, of course they knew who this Chen Shaoqiu was. Shouzheng, this Chen Shaoqiu is an international student at Waseda University, aren't you going to Waseda for exchange and study for a year in the second half of the year, this is also your fellow senior, how about having the confidence to surpass him? ”

"Teacher Chen, even if you don't have confidence in your students, you should have confidence in your own teaching skills, right?" Chen Tianhua was stunned for a moment, and laughed with Rong Zongjing and Zou Rong, this student is really a wonderful person, maybe when he comes back, he will really be no worse than that Chen Shaoqiu.

Chen Tianhua and the others continued to look at the plans of other students, and Li Weichang, who carefully folded the newspaper and put it in his schoolbag, smiled confidently, so that he would not think that he would lose to this senior.
