Chapter 604: The Fourth Five-Year Plan (Part II)

Regarding the "draft" drafted by the cabinet this time, Lu Junna, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was full of opinions.

The task is too difficult.

"The main river trunk lines in the country, stretching for thousands of miles, are just a round of inspection, it takes a year, five years, a comprehensive inspection, renovation and reinforcement, and the amount of work is not even inferior to the reopening of a Grand Canal, five years, too tight.

What's more, in addition, the Ministry of Industry also has to supervise the construction of highways and railway lines, so many and huge projects, even if the treasury can keep up with the money, the manpower can't be scraped together. ”

In the audience, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting next to Xu Buji, nodded, and whispered to Xu Buji: "Ge Lao, what the Ministry of Industry said is not unreasonable, can you slow it down and take ten years to complete it, and the priority is to complete the two main transportation arteries of high-speed and railway." ”

Xu Buji shook his head slowly, looked at Lu Jun, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The content of the "Draft" can be discussed with the cabinet by any department or locality, but not by your Ministry of Industry.

Last year, the Yellow River estuary burst its banks, flooding countless fertile fields, displacing hundreds of thousands of people, and killing and injuring more than 1,000 people.

You said that the project is difficult to do, and it is precisely because it is difficult to do it that it is your turn to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and it is the turn of so many officials in the Ministry of Industry to be qualified to dress like beasts, if everyone can do it well, then it will not be your turn to be officials.

Water conservancy and flood prevention are the first line of concern that is most directly concerned about the livelihood of the common people, and we must do a good job in this work, and we must always put the safety of the people's lives and property in the first place. ”

Lu Jun's forehead oozed sweat, Xu Buji's tone was not heavy, but it was very firm, letting Lu Jun know that if he continued to bargain now, then he might not be able to wait for the end of this conference, and his hat as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry would have to fly!

Because Xu Buji did this thing, he didn't do it more than once or twice!

"Ministry of Industry, no problem."

Gritting his teeth, Lu Jun responded in one bite, what a big deal, it's amazing that he, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, personally ran to the embankment to move bricks, and if he didn't force himself, who knows how much power he could burst out.

"This is the next task for the Ministry of Labor, but I need to add at least two million workers next year."

"That's right."

Xu Buji didn't raise his eyelids: "Except for India and Japan, the Golden Horde and Siberia are mostly strong men, and selling coolies can be regarded as a top trick, and the number can make up for you." ”

After saying that, Xu Buji looked at Kuang Yihe again: "Kuang Ge is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, this matter is up to you." ”

"Okay."

As the cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Kuang Yi and the first responsible person are duty-bound and simply responded neatly.

Lu Jun, who was on the stage, let out a long breath, walked off the podium with heavy steps, and ran up with a blonde and blue-eyed foreign devil.

Everyone smiled.

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ge An.

Not to mention, the official uniform of Zheng Erpin is worn on Ge An, a foreign devil, although it is a little nondescript, but after looking at it for a long time, it is not too ugly.

And this Ge An can be recognized at a glance in appearance, if he just listens to the voice, who can hear the authentic official language.

"Several elders, I don't have too many doubts about the fact that the draft states should increase the economic proportion of state-owned capital, but it is not appropriate to greatly reduce overseas trade and give profits to other allies in the Ming Union.

At present, I am in the Ming Dynasty, relying precisely on the massive and inexhaustible wealth resources accumulated by overseas dumping to increase the speed of construction and development. ”

Who can engage in colonization and development?

The first ten years of hard work in the first ten years of colonization are all basic common sense, and the common people often say that people are not rich without foreign wealth, and they don't grab anything quickly.

"The Cabinet has taken this into account."

The one who took over the explanation was Wang Yusen, who became the current cabinet deputy assistant by virtue of his relationship with Xu Buji's fellow villagers.

"Doing business also pays attention to the long-term flow of water, knowing that the windfall profits cannot last, our overseas dumping has lasted for more than ten years, these years we have made a lot of money, but the development of the allies is still standing still or even regressing.

For the Ming Union, according to the spirit of His Majesty, we are mainly based on subtle assimilation, and in the future, we will work hard to absorb our Ming Dynasty, which is obvious in several countries in South Asia.

Among the first few countries to sign and join the "Kunming Seven-Power Agreement", the new generation of South Burma and Siam has been basically sinicized, and teenagers can only speak our Chinese but are not proficient in the native language, and their way of life and civilization habits are highly suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

So in the future, do we plan to build a province that is poor and backward and needs to be rebuilt and developed, or do we want a province that can directly develop and provide assistance?

The two main points needed to engage in national construction are nothing more than resources and manpower, we are not short of resources, manpower, there are many countries of labor, the number of huge is also inexhaustible, since our domestic construction demand can completely digest the supply, then there is no need to increase the foreign trade surplus.

After all, most of the money earned in the past few years is also put in the warehouse moldy and rusty, and it can't be used up at all, but it is better to use good steel on the blade, moderately rich neighboring countries, they progress at the same time, will naturally improve productivity.

And their productivity has increased, and when the domestic demand of our Ming Dynasty increases in the future, they will be able to provide more resources and their efficiency will be accelerated, and it is based on long-term considerations from outside the country that the "Draft" decided to reduce the proportion of overseas trade, reduce the dependence on trade and plunder the economy, and instead focus on domestic prosperity. ”

No policy that can last for 100 years is good governance, and the policy itself must be adjusted in accordance with the changes in society.

After all, there is no best, only the most suitable.

Twenty years ago, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, and what was set was desperate plunder, so it cannot be said that it had to remain unchanged for a hundred years when it was set at that time.

It turns out that all policies are good when they are formulated, but if they are inherited as an ancestral system, it will be a waste of government for the future country.

Be vigilant, because the Ming Dynasty is pure and pure, and it is to let a lot of ancestral systems harm the country.

Ge An touched his nose, and he also expressed his views on his position on this matter, as for whether the cabinet adopted it or not, it was because the cabinet was based on the overall situation and the consideration of the overall development of the future, and the position and level were naturally higher than him, so there was no way to argue.

After all, the basic principle of policy formulation is to obey the overall situation and serve the big development in small areas.

The disadvantages of reducing overseas trade are actually nothing more than a reduction in a large wealth dividend, which may affect the reserves of the central bank, reduce the overall lending business and financial support for other industries, so what does it have to do with him?

Ge An is really a good official who is not greedy or corrupt, plus he was born as a foreign devil, and he doesn't understand the traditional Chinese feelings, and if there is less money, the total amount of loans will decline in the future, and he will go in accordance with the policy requirements wherever he uses it.

As for whether there will be a large part of the country who will not be able to get the state's money to earn wealth for themselves because of this, it deserves it.

Anyway, if he pleaded to find Ge An, Ge An would never agree.

Bowing down, Ge An agreed and stepped down.

The conference is still going on, but every time you come to power, there are basically some small details of the problem, and the detailed rules for specific implementation are clarified, and the general direction has not been corrected.

"Since there is no big problem with all the public colleagues, then the overall plan of the "Draft" has been decided, and we now discuss the last point, that is, how to increase the income of workers and peasants, because at present, the latest guidance price of the central grain depot is still falling, and many of the people in the meeting are capable ministers engaged in the economy, so let's discuss it together."

At the end of the conference, Xu Buji raised this question.

A problem that needs to be solved urgently.
