Chapter 83: The Economic Frontier (XVIII)
Seeing the director politely send Wei Changshou out of the office, Xiao Biyu's face changed several times.
Regarding what Wei Changshou said, Xiao Biyu didn't dare to believe it. Now I saw that the nephew of the governor of Wezedu had swaggered to visit the director of the customs. Xiao Biyu couldn't help but believe it.
It's just that smuggling is a matter of importance, Xiao Biyu still mustered up the courage to go to the director on the grounds of talking about work. After finishing the work first, Xiao Biyu asked, "Director, that person just now is the nephew of the governor, right?" ”
"You've seen him too?" The Director asked, somewhat surprised.
"I've heard it." Xiao Biyu replied, "What is he doing here?" ”
"Questions about liberating shoes." The Commissioner replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Biyu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? Did you promise him, Director? ”
The director replied: "If you don't agree, don't you just deal with the matter, and you can pass it." Let's not provoke this person. ”
In fact, the ostensible reason for Wei Changshou's visit was that the processed goods could be cheaper for the customs. But the customs is the administrative department, where there is a need for what to process. Moreover, customs will not think of buying processed goods when buying shoes for relatives. So the Registrar didn't want to talk about such frivolous questions.
But to Xiao Biyu's ears, this is a completely different meaning. He didn't dare to say anything more and quickly left the conference room.
That night, Hu Zhengyang brought a paper bag over. Xiao Biyu couldn't help but gasp after opening it. Inside the paper bag were thick stacks of money. It probably looks like the amount is as much as two or three thousand yuan. With a nervous expression, Hu Zhengyang lowered his business and said, "Section Chief Xiao, this is what Wei Changshou asked me to pass on to you." Do you want to take it? ”
Xiao Biyu's attention at this time was completely attracted by this thick stack of money, and the customs salary was not low. After a recent salary increase, he can get about 400 yuan a month. The stack of money in front of him can almost cover half a year's salary. Although he knew that if he took the money, he would get on Wei Changshou's thief ship, but Xiao Biyu held the money tightly and refused to let go.
Theoretically, Xiao Biyu has a pension of 200,000 yuan. He had also imagined many times how thick these pensions would have to be stacked. But that was decades later, and Xiao Biyu could only think about it. Xiao Biyu has to give money to his parents every month, and with his consumption pattern of eating and drinking, he has no chance to save so much money.
If Xiao Biyu was still worried about the risks of smuggling at the beginning, now Xiao Biyu is completely attracted by the profits brought by smuggling. "No wonder Victor would let his nephew do this kind of business." Xiao Biyu thought to himself.
Seeing Xiao Biyu staring at the stacks of money like a demon, Hu Zhengyang had to raise his voice and said, "Section Chief Xiao, do you want to accept it?" ”
Xiao Biyu finally heard Hu Zhengyang's words, and he looked at Hu Zhengyang next to him with a vigilant and repulsive gaze. Hu Zhengyang was a little frightened by this fierce look, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he took a few steps back.
Watching Hu Zhengyang retreat, Xiao Biyu felt a lot better in his heart. Someone was within a distance of being able to get these stacks of money at any time, which made Xiao Biyu feel that his money was under great threat. When the sense of threat subsided, reason was still reminding Xiao Biyu that this money should not be taken.
Xiao Biyu opened his mouth, and he wanted to say, "You return this money to Wei Changshou." But after opening and closing his mouth a dozen times, he couldn't make a sound.
Hu Zhengyang waited for a while, and saw that Xiao Biyu had been silent. He said: "Then I'll go to Wei Changshou and say, you take the money!" ”
Watching Hu Zhengyang turn to leave, Xiao Biyu only felt as if the strength in his body had been drained, but there seemed to be something blocking his chest, making his chest uncomfortable. It wasn't until the old wound on his right chest sent out bursts of stinging pain that Xiao Biyu realized that he was too excited at this time. His gaze turned back to the stacks of money, which seemed to have some indescribable magic, so that Xiao Biyu couldn't even feel the stinging pain of the old wound. He stroked the money with his trembling hand, his eyes fixed on it.
There is demand, there is supply, and rubber shoes sell quickly. The first few times, Xiao Biyu still felt frightened. After a few times, he slowly got used to the process. And Hu Zhengyang's words also made Xiao Biyu deeply convinced, Xiao Biyu was born and died for Wei Zedu to lay down the world, what was sold was not stolen goods, and the money that the new government should earn was not less, what's wrong with this? Besides, Wei Dudu himself connived at his nephew, so there was no reason to treat Xiao Biyu, the hero of the revolution.
Soon, the time entered October. As temperatures begin to drop and the harvest season has passed, the number of workers on the site has increased. A large number of houses gradually became large. Buying a home is also on the agenda. The whole of Guangzhou, and even the whole of Guangdong, began to bustle around buying property in the city.
Wang Mingshan of the Budget Committee was listening to the introduction of the construction of the new Guangzhou City, saying that China's urban construction has a long history, and functional urban construction is not new. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the capital city of Chang'an had a very rigorous design.
The difference between the plan and the previous one is that Wei Ze has water and electricity, and the gas pipelines that have not yet appeared are considered. In addition, the overall planning of living quarters, public transportation, urban green space, etc. is added. Those so-called "ten-lane two-way arterial roads" are an absolute luxury from the perspective of urban design.
Weeser declared that urban construction is a century-old project, so it must be designed from the perspective of a century-old unit. So ten lanes on the main road, six lanes or even eight lanes on the ordinary street. Less important roads have to be four-lane in both directions. Of course, there are also bike lanes and green belts on both sides of these lanes.
No one argued with Weeser because no one knew what Weeser was about the concept of "100 years of design". The only thing that everyone understands is that the wider the road, the better. Moreover, with the supreme legislative power of the emperor, Governor Wei Zedu asked the Political and Legal Committee to formulate a draft of the "Law on Land for Capital Construction" and a draft "Road Law". The draft stipulates that all governments, as well as private individuals, shall not encroach on road land for any reason. If someone encroaches, in addition to demolishing the illegal building, they will also be subject to administrative penalties such as fines.
These contents are Wei Zedudu's attempt to build a new China in his heart, and before the new city is built, everyone can only follow Wei Zedudu. Wang Mingshan's task is to lead the comrades of a kind of budget department to budget for the construction of these cities. It's not just a matter of money, new units that have never been built before have to be factored into the budget now.
For example, urban greening requires a large number of trees, and these trees must be planted new. Therefore, the urban garden management office, as well as the nursery cultivation base, these need to be built.
Wang Mingshan was very impressed by Wei Ze's proper handling of affairs, and the military academy had an agricultural department early on. At this time, the Ministry of Agriculture happened to build the Agricultural College. In the beginning, the main focus of the agricultural college was mulberry planting, and the staff was expanded, and then some funds were sown. Of course, the entire liberated area is also looking for experts in planting trees, inviting them to give lectures at agricultural colleges and leading the students to practice.
What makes Wang Mingshan even happier is that although his work tortures him to death, as Shen Xin said before, the Ministry of Finance is indeed a very promising department. The comrades of the Personnel Department had already talked to Wang Mingshan Yue and asked Wang Mingshan to be prepared, and he would go to the Political Science and Law Institute to become a further researcher, that is, to give lectures and attend classes at the same time. After the completion of the training, Wang Mingshan can go to a region to be the head of the administration. Initially, of course, it started with the mayor.
As Wang Mingshan's friend, Shen Xin emphasized when Wang Mingshan came to visit that he must lay a solid foundation. Don't look at the mayor of the town, he doesn't look high, but the Guangfu Army has a lesson from the past. The current group of high-ranking generals of the Liberation Army, without exception, have all started from grassroots work. The only one who lacks grassroots experience is Zhang Yingchen, who is now in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Only with rich grassroots experience can there be a large number of contacts. Networking means a lot of decisive factors.
But this is all for the future, and the construction budget alone is dizzying. Wang Mingshan probably understood something he didn't have a concept of, and then he was ready to go on a field trip. Those living quarters do seem fascinating. There are kindergartens and green spaces in each community. Just looking at it, it's amazing. Can it really cram millions of people into the city of Guangzhou? That sounds like a terrifying number.
At the door, Wang Mingshan saw Wu Qilu, the current secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance, hurriedly walking, and after seeing Wang Mingshan, he said: "Mingshan, you had problems with the implementation of your previous budget, and I want to see your information." ”
It's normal for a budget to go wrong, and in fact there is no time when the budget doesn't go wrong. The budget is either too much or too little, so the work of the budget committee twice a year is extremely hard. This is also the reason why the personnel of the Ministry of Finance are able to go to various places. They understand the central plan, but they do not understand the issue of actual implementation, and only after they have done it themselves can they integrate theory with practice.
"What departments are going wrong?" Wang Mingshan asked casually. If it was before, Wang Mingshan thought that this was a big thing, but if there were too many big things, it would not be a big deal.
But Wu Qilu, who had been the editor of the party newspaper, did not have such calmness, he looked left and right, and pulled Wang Mingshan into the office. After closing the door, Wu Qilu said: "Mingshan, in the new report, the profit of several units is much worse than the budget!" ”
"Is it much worse, or much more?" Wang Mingshan tried to confirm the matter. In recent years, the profits of the industrial sector have been very high, so he has only seen the profits of the industrial sector explode, and Wang Mingshan thinks that Wu Qilu, who has been here for less than two years, may have been frightened by the gap between the budget and the actual income.
"Not much, but a lot worse!" Wu Qilu gave a clear answer.
Wang Mingshan was stunned at this time, it was not normal to be much worse. Wei Ze talked about the economic cycle, even if you don't use such a high-end and high-grade term, everyone can understand, for example, needles, can be used for many years, and no one will buy new needles before the old needle is used and broken. But steel mills are not producing steel needles for the time being, and they can also produce steel rails. There is no need to worry about this kind of product at all. The railway from Guangzhou to Wuchang requires an astonishing amount of steel and various steel accessories. How can you make a lot of business trips?
Regardless of anything else, Wang Mingshan immediately followed Wu Qilu to the data room to retrieve the data for comparative research. R1058
