Chapter 247: Capital and Power (7)

Offering gifts to the governor and reporting to the Military Commission, the gift of the Shenyang battle is really big enough. Prince Gong Yixin and the Manchu Qing Eight Iron Hat Kings, Prince Rui was beheaded by the order of the Eastern Empress Dowager Ci'an, and two Iron Hat Kings were shot dead before they had time to surrender after their palace was broken. The others were captured alive.

The troops entered the palace, and only one of the Eastern Empress Dowager Ci'an, who was dying after taking poison, was left on the throne of the Golden Palace. There was still a problem with the quality of the poison, and after the military doctors of the Liberation Army carried out emergency gastric lavage, Ci'an survived. Cixi and her son Tongzhi changed into civilian clothes in the palace kitchen, and tried to fool themselves by smearing their faces with charcoal. This effort was fruitless, and the two were still arrested after being identified.

Before being identified, Cixi also tried to say that she was a palace maid and that Tongzhi was a little eunuch. Whether it's a eunuch or not, you can recognize it when you take off your pants. This became a laughing point in the report.

Wei Ze habitually looks at the problem from the perspective of productivity, and in the industrial society, if you really want to commit suicide, you can buy potassium, and you can finish it in a few seconds, and it will not be Ci'an's turn to be saved by gastric lavage after taking poison. Another theory, of course, is that the Manchus fled from Beijing in a hurry, bringing only precious medicines, and poisons were not considered at all. It is even more impossible for the pharmaceutical market outside the customs to have such stocking, so that the poison prepared is actually ineffective.

These are all jokes and slots, and Wei Ze didn't think too much about them. He thought that the fall of the Manchu Qing might be even more tragic, and hundreds of high-ranking officials committed suicide and martyrdom, but the group of people who were arrested continued to live with shy faces. On the contrary, it is said that there are mountains of corpses in Shenyang City. The upper strata of the Manchu Qing Dynasty encouraged the lower strata to fight desperately, and the lower strata also believed that they could not be spared in the long-term propaganda, and the resistance was quite fierce. The Liberation Army was given the order that the resisters would be killed, and the fierce urban warfare caused huge casualties among the people in the city.

At the end of the report, Nguyen Hi Ho said that he was getting the captured Manchu upper echelons to order the Heilongjiang generals to surrender in Shenyang. After the liberation of Shenyang outside the Guan, the last armed force of the Manchu Qing was the Heilongjiang general in Qiqihar. As long as this armed force surrendered, the theoretical remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be left with the Mongol princes and the Hunan army in Goryeo. Ruan Xihao promised that regardless of whether the Heilongjiang general surrendered or not, as long as he got a definite result, he would send those princes and nobles to Nanjing.

Wei Ze put this matter down after reading the report, the fall of the small court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a good thing, but it was not an important thing in the Liberation Army. At most, Wei Ze could officially announce one thing, based on the official fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a month later, 1869, became the first year of the Min Dynasty.

At present, the central authorities are arguing endlessly about the issue of the fiscal budget and financial allocation, there are too many projects to be done in the First Five-Year Plan, and there is a strong problem of uneven development in the entire liberated areas. Immediately after the Guangdong delegates arrived in Nanjing, they were "besieged" by the provincial deputies.

"You even have a bus, what do you want? Don't worry about budgeting. "This is the common opinion of the representatives of almost all provinces.

"It's because we even have buses that we have to work harder to develop. The gap between us and foreign countries is so big, what do you mean by holding us back? Pang Congcong defended Guangdong without concessions.

In addition to the simple defense, Pang Congcong also tried his best to divert the contradictions, "Everyone has been in Guangdong, and the comrades know what Guangdong's taxes are." Now Shanghai is only a few years old, and the level of development is no less than that of Guangzhou. ”

Pang Congcong's words were simply a word that woke up the people in their dreams, and the representatives of other provinces all had a feeling of sudden realization. Shanghai is a key investment city ordered by Wei Ze personally, and with the state-level policy tilt, Shanghai's development can really be described as a thousand miles in a day. There are gas buses in Guangzhou, and there are gas buses in Shanghai. Not only that, but Shanghai even has a tram-bus system in the city.

This is only part of the city's public services, shipyards, steel mills, machinery factories, textile factories, rubber factories, these industrial sectors are put in Shanghai, and the whole city immediately flourishes. A large number of workers created a large number of consumer markets, which in turn allowed the surrounding agricultural areas and raw materials and primary processing enterprises to find a place to sell. This is the form of industrial development that was originally known as the "Guangzhou model". The core cities drive the commodity economy in the surrounding areas. The surrounding grain and raw materials are ultimately sold in the core cities. What followed was the rise of the logistics system, and the industry of material transportation that Ken worked hard to do was developed.

"It's not fair! Governor, this is not fair! "Representatives of all provinces are protesting to Wese. For a while, Wei Ze became the target of public criticism, and in the eyes of everyone, Wei Ze was the source of the unfairness that created and was creating Zào.

"Whew!" "Huh!" "Hey, hey!" "Haha!" In the past few days, there have been all kinds of laughter from Weser in his office. After listening for a few days, the guards and secretaries began to be very worried about Weese's mental state. In their minds, the calm and calm Du Ke never showed such a state.

Wei Ze actually didn't want to be so gaffe, but looking at the almost cookie-cutter application reports in various provinces, Wei Ze couldn't help but feel emotional. In the initial report, everyone only put forward a general budget report that required the construction of key cities. That's pretty good. Things started to get out of hand when Hunan Province made a request to establish a "50,000-factory plan" within five years that would cover all of the current industrial sectors. Perhaps Hunan Province did not do a good enough job of secrecy work, or it was out of the way that it showed its report to old comrades-in-arms in other provinces. Reports such as "60,000 Factory" and "70,000 Factory" appeared on Weeser's desk one by one. Wei Ze thought that Jiangxi's "100,000 factories" plan could be regarded as the limit of satellites. The Sichuan Provincial Party Committee's "200,000 Factory Plan" broke the limits of Wei Ze's imagination. It also made Wei Ze laugh heartily for five minutes.

"Governor, have you seen the reports from the provinces?" As soon as Premier Bi Qingshan found Wei Ze and said a word, he saw Wei Ze covering his face and began to laugh.

Bi Qingshan didn't expect Wei Ze to react like this at all, and he was also stunned. Numbers from 50,000 to 200,000 flew in Wesser's mind, and these several times strongly stimulated his laughing nerves and made him laugh out loud. After a few minutes, Wei Ze barely stopped laughing, and he asked a little breathlessly, "I've seen it, you said what you want to say." ”

Bi Qingshan didn't know why Wei Ze was so happy, but Wei Ze was such a cousin, and Bi Qingshan could only pick up a more cautious statement, "Governor, the provinces are too much!" Where do we have so much money to invest! ”

Wei Ze couldn't hold back his laughter with great difficulty, and after listening to Premier Bi Qingshan's words, he couldn't help it, so he simply pounded the table and laughed again.

Although he probably knew the reason, but being ridiculed so publicly, Bi Qingshan's face became quite ugly. When Wei Ze finished laughing, Bi Qingshan asked angrily, "Why is the governor laughing?" ”

"I think the comrades are inexperienced, and they look so cute. Tens of thousands of factories, do they have so many educated people? Weezer said with a smile.

Hearing that Wei Ze was not laughing at himself, Bi Qingshan's face was finally saved. He also didn't want to confront Wei Ze for the sake of the gang's big budget requests, and from Wei Ze's words, it could be judged that these applications would never be able to pass Guò. Being able to push these responsibilities to Wei Ze is definitely a good thing for Bi Qingshan. Although Bi Qingshan is an old revolutionary, he does not have the overwhelming appeal of Wei Ze, and the status of the local bigwigs is not necessarily weaker than Bi Qingshan.

"What are the governors going to do?" Bi Qingshan asked.

Wei Ze finally put away his smile and said as calmly as possible: "The land reform must be completed, and the construction of water conservancy facilities will begin in the areas where the land reform has been completed." These projects themselves are enough to keep the localities busy, and the central government will make development arrangements according to the situation of each province. ”

"Then ask the Governor to arrange it himself, the threshold of the government and the Ministry of Finance has been broken recently. All provinces rushed to invest, and we couldn't stand it. Bi Qingshan decided to throw all the responsibility to Wei Ze.

So at the national meeting of the Liberation Party, Weeser spoke generously in front of the delegates: "Let me first say the results, I do not agree with the industrial development plan submitted by the provinces. That's the result! ”

With a buzz, the delegates below couldn't help but make their own voices. Wei Ze didn't care, he continued: "After talking about the results, I will say the reason. The products produced by the factory are eventually sold. It's like rubber shoes, rubber is grown, factories are built, and workers are paid wages. If the rubber shoes can't be sold, these investments are all loss-making. As the saying goes, someone does the head-killing business, but no one does the loss-making business. That's what happened. The factories of 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 100,000, 200,000 proposed by various provinces. Not to mention whether you have the ability to build so many factories, I am actually very strange, after reading your reports, I have not seen any province say what the cost of the products produced by these factories is, and who they sell to. ”

After saying this, Wei Ze couldn't help but laugh a few more times. The report without any economic ideas is too funny in the eyes of Weeser, who has some economic ideas, and its comical nature completely overwhelms the ignorance behind it. Wei Ze couldn't even be genuinely angry.

But Wei Ze's absolute authority is not something that the representatives in the audience can confront it, even if they don't agree with Wei Ze's idea at all, they don't dare to jump out and openly challenge Wei Ze's authority at this time. Because Wei Ze's implicit line is "denying the idea of asking for money from the provinces". And the purpose of the provincial deputies was to ask for money, and all the industrial plans were just an excuse for them to ask for money.
