Bi Qingshan told the truth: Recently, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Taxation Bureau, all of which are all hoping to start a war against the south. And their reason for going south is quite simple, the rice route between Vietnam and Siam opened by Weze has now become a very important pillar of stability in the south.

The Yangtze River basin has suffered the most severe damage from the Taiping Rebellion, and the destruction of the Central Plains and the northwest has greatly exceeded that of the Yangtze River basin. On the contrary, it is the two Guangzhous in the Lingnan region, Guangdong has been very stable since it was taken by Wei Ze, and when the Taiping army left Guangxi, they took away those people who had the courage to rise up, and Guangxi also became stable.

Stability means that the population will grow quickly, and with the new government system, it is first necessary to enable those who are willing to work to survive. This requires a large amount of grain to stabilize food prices.

After Wei Ze left Guangdong, he didn't care about Guangdong's affairs, but Bi Qingshan, as the premier of the State Council and the boss of the governors of various provinces, had to take care of this issue.

Since Wei Ze asked so, Bi Qingshan simply took out his grievances one by one, "Governor, the people who farm the land have now been allocated land, and they all want to make the price of grain high, and they can make more money when the price of grain is high." But the industrial sectors in the cities do not want the price of food to be high, and if the price of food is high, the life of the workers will be difficult. Now the army is desperately building water conservancy projects and roads, but the people have no income to participate in them. But if we hire a large number of people, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the project, and we don't have so much money and so much food. As soon as palm oil came out, the comrades in the south thought it was good. Grain used to be made, but now oil is issued. With oil and water, everyone's complexion is different! ”

Wei Ze listened to this comment and said in his heart that this is not nonsense. In the 21st century, China wants to lose weight, and the reason for losing weight is really not just that you eat too much meat, but that the oil and water in each dish are very sufficient.

Seeing that Wei Ze's expression had eased, Bi Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If you want to get more oil and more spices, you can only go south." Governor, you also know that the personnel in our government have been out of the army for a long time, but they are also from the army. So when they talk about going south to fight, they think it's easy. ”

This statement is very reasonable, and Weeser has begun to worry less about the fact that there are people in the army who want to fight. He asked, "Is the government really trying to go south now?" ”

"Would very much like to go south. In recent years, government departments have often held meetings to discuss, and everyone feels that now the amount of currency issuance is getting larger and larger, and the additional issuance is basically paper BI. The largest amount of issuance in the city, there is money in hand, and everyone buys things in addition to depositing in the bank. In addition to buying a house, all that's left is to buy what they feel they need right now. Our paper bi is not collateralized with gold and silver like the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. What we issue is paper, and the people feel that these papers have credit, because we really provide so much food and oil. This is also the concept you put forward! Bi Qingshan deserves to be the head of the civil government, and in the end, he beat Wei Ze upside down.

Wei Ze was perfectly able to accept this kind of complaint, and he asked, "Has the economic pressure reached this point?" ”

"Governor, you haven't been to Guangdong now, and the situation there is said to be not so good. Now the comrades in Guangdong, especially in the industrial sector, are very unhappy! Bi Qingshan continued to vomit bitterness, "Governor, we opened up the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and the steel sales in Guangdong will come down immediately." It turned out that they bought iron pots and other items to Hunan and Hubei, and now Hunan and Hubei don't want their things. How fast and how much money to walk on the Yangtze River from Ma'anshan. Originally, they thought they could sell things to Zhejiang and Jiangsu, but now Zhejiang and Jiangsu are also buying steel products from Ma'anshan. Zhejiang and Jiangsu craftsmen are very capable, and the things they make are no worse than those in Guangdong. If it weren't for the overhaul of the railway, the demand for rails would be very high, and the life of Guangdong Iron and Steel Group would be even more difficult. ”

Wei Ze thought that he was going to rectify the discipline problem, but he didn't expect that there would be economic problems. Industrial products need to be marketed, and they need to be sold and then recouped with funds. To withdraw the funds, the people need to pay for it, but the people buy daily necessities. They need to buy bikes, but they don't buy some steel bars to play at home.

Bi Qingshan made it clear that the most acceptable things for the people now are grain, oil, and rubber shoes. Guangdong's grain is imported from Vietnam and Siam, and the cheapest source of oil at this stage is Lan Phuong province. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and after the oil palm plantations have been developed, it is a very stable source of oil. The people in Guangdong and Guangxi are more accustomed to the tropical climate, and more than 500,000 people have gone to Lanfang Province to seek a living in the past few years. Except for sailors, most of them worked on plantations.

The ancients said that "there is land and wealth", and the most fundamental help for the economy is to open up the territory, especially to open up the land with huge output.

Wei Ze was no longer in the mood to be strict at this time. The desire of civilian governments to solve their domestic problems through war is indeed a common feature of modern states. Weeser didn't know whether to be relieved or funny. You must know that even six years ago, the government's financial department openly opposed the war proposal put forward by the Central Military Commission because the war budget was too large. Wang Mingshan, the current secretary of the Guangdong Provincial CPC Committee, has only become famous by daring to argue with the military.

But now, according to Bi Qingshan's words, the comrades in Guangdong who are enthusiastic about the expansion war can be said to be exemplary. It's really a bit of a trick.

Wei Ze's left arm was propped up on the table, his left hand subconsciously pinched his chin, the beard that hung up did not grow long, and the feeling of thorns slightly balanced the pressure in Wei Ze's heart, he asked: "That is to say, the comrades of the government want to fight!" ”

"Yes, we want to fight now. In this way, it will be possible to include the immigrants and the benefits of the South in the new budget. Iron and steel enterprises will be built all over the country, and we can't stop that. But oil, rubber, and spices must have come from the south. That's all gains. Governor, with this we can issue more money. We've got millions of mouths waiting to be fed on wages! Bi Qingshan said sincerely, and when he talked about millions of mouths, he even accentuated his tone.

Seeing that Wei Ze's expression was completely less stern, Bi Qingshan emphasized again, "Dudu, if you go to Guangdong now, you will know the situation over there." Stir-fried seafood, stir-fried greens, stir-fried rice noodles. Everyone needs at least two taels of oil a day! This thing is more useful than food, and oil is more hungry! ”

The purpose of Weize's development of palm oil is to solve the problem of eating. The best solution is to develop ammonia synthesis technology, but the basic research of steel is far from that level of technology, and in the absence of technological breakthroughs, opening up the South China Sea is undoubtedly the best way. Although a country's prime minister grabbing oil palm plantations seems a bit unorthodox. But Bi Qingshan actually grasped the key point, so that the people were fed, and everything was easy to discuss. Wei Ze's spiritual devotion to the revolution in the 21st century and his physical participation in the revolution in the 19th century were not because of the problem of food, but the vast majority of these people who followed Wei Ze to rebel were unable to survive because they did not have enough to eat. This is the people's response to hunger.

After this discussion, Wei Ze determined that if Bi Qingshan did not tell nonsense, the main representative who wanted to start a war in the near future would be from the government. Wei Ze said to Bi Qingshan, the top leader of the government: "I will think about this matter carefully, and I will give you an answer in a month at most." ”

After hearing this, Bi Qingshan's face was overjoyed. And Wei Ze then said: "But! No one is allowed to spread this opinion again until this is given to you, I still say the same thing, we are organized and disciplined! ”R1058
