Fang Nanzheng, the central government of the People's Army of Guangzhou, was discussing with a group of students the post-war reconstruction plan of Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Huguang provinces.

When the People's Army occupied Guangdong a few years ago, it had a large number of Ming prisoners in its hands, and some of them reduced the number of bandits and bandits, ruffians and hooligans, and wealthy gentry and merchants to coolies, with a total number of more than 100,000.

Now after the People's Army occupied Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang Province, the number of coolies has greatly increased, as many as hundreds of thousands, of which in the battle of Nanchang City alone, the People's Army has harvested 80,000 Ming prisoners, the Ming Army has invested more than 900,000 troops in the four battlefields, the People's Army has killed some of them, and some of them have fled to other places, and the rest of the Ming Army has either been captured or joined the People's Army in advance.

There are hundreds of thousands of coolies, and as the People's Army clears out bandits and bandits in various places, the number will continue to increase, and new major projects can be started, and similarly, mining, road construction, and water conservancy facilities are the focus.

"A few years later, we will destroy the Ming court and establish a new country on this land, and I have decided to set the capital of the new country here, Wuchang City."

At the meeting, Fang Nan also said about the future national capital of Wuchang City, and everyone in the conference room looked at the map and thought about it briefly to understand the teacher's intention of setting the capital in Wuchang City.

At present, the first city in the People's Army's ruling area to develop towards a modern city is mainly Guangzhou City, followed by Foshan, the most important industrial base of the People's Army.

When the People's Army destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the entire land of China was under the rule of the People's Army, if you continue to take Guangzhou City as the capital, it is too far from Guangzhou City to the northernmost city, and the capital city is placed in Wuchang City, the geographical center of the Chinese land, to the north, to the south, to the west, to the east are all moderately distanced, Wuchang City is adjacent to the Yangtze River, and the water transportation is very convenient.

Look at Beiping, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is so close to the border pass, it is necessary to mobilize heavy troops to guard the border pass, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in Beiping City, and the materials produced around it cannot meet the needs of the residents of Beiping City, and must be transported from the south through the canal.

What's more, there are a large number of dignitaries living in Beiping City, and the demand for materials is more, and Beiping has almost become a burden for the Ming Dynasty, so it is better to continue to put the capital in Jinling City.

Since Fang Nan decided to make Wuchang the capital of the future state, it was necessary to rebuild it like the city of Guangzhou, and as in the case of Guangzhou City, the reconstruction of Wuchang City would create a new city next to the old city, rather than improving the old city with great fanfare.

Now there are still more than 100,000 residents living in Wuchang City, and it is very troublesome to rebuild the old city, so it is better to build a new city next to it, directly establish a modern city, transfer the population of the old city to the new city, and then slowly rebuild the old city.

Of course, the city of Guangzhou, which has been rebuilt, is still very important to the people's army, and will not abandon the construction of Guangzhou City after the capital is designated as Wuchang City, after the establishment of a new country, the capital city will be Wuchang City, and there will be four accompanying capitals, Guangzhou City is one of them.

Zhou Lei, Zhao Hong, Wang Mu and others listened to the plan formulated by the teacher, and they did not stop sighing to the teacher in their hearts, this is their teacher, taking them out of the mountains and leading them to defeat the landlords and officials who are high above, so that the poor people can live a good life and will no longer worry about food.

"It's such a blessing to be your student." The idea popped into the head of more than one person.

During the meeting, Fang Nan handed over a task to Xu Yongning, president of the People's Chamber of Commerce, that a large amount of cement would be needed to build roads, water conservancy facilities and even rebuild Wuchang City in the newly occupied areas, and the cement produced by the cement factories in Guangdong would certainly not be enough, and long-distance transportation would be more troublesome, so the best choice was to build more cement plants in the newly occupied areas.

The KPA also has cement plants, but there are only three factories so far, the main purpose of which is to develop better cement and to supply cement to secret units.

In the past, the KPA provided cement technology to businessmen, who set up cement factories in various places to provide cement to the KPA because the KPA did not have enough manpower to manage the cement plants, and on the other hand, the returns of the cement factories were relatively low.

Regardless of the price of glass in the KPA-ruled areas, the income of a KPA glass factory is higher than that of all cement factories in the country.

This time, to carry out a major project in the newly occupied area, it is necessary to build more cement factories in various places, and Fang Nan is ready to let more merchants in Guangdong join in, increase the competition among merchants, and reduce the increase in the wealth of big businessmen mainly Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin, etc.

From ancient times to the present, the status of merchants in society is relatively poor, and various feudal dynasties have taken the initiative to suppress merchants.

"Money can make ghosts grind", just this sentence can understand the power of money, merchants have a lot of wealth in their hands, once the merchants obtain a high enough social status, and then buy people's hearts through money, it will have a huge impact on the rule of the feudal dynasty.

The development of the People's Army-ruled area needs the strength of some businessmen, but Fang Nan doesn't want to see the businessmen gain too much wealth, the People's Army-ruled area has its own laws and regulations, if it violates the laws and regulations formulated by itself to attack the businessmen, hidden dangers will arise, so Fang Nan needs to use other methods to suppress the big businessmen.

Fang Nan had several plans in mind to suppress the big businessmen, the first of which was to let more businessmen participate in it, so that the small businessmen could get out of their own circles and enter more circles to do business, so that the small businessmen could share a part of the wealth that the big businessmen could have obtained and reduce the growth rate of the big businessmen.

The second is to cultivate new big businessmen, big businessmen who are completely loyal to the People's Army, among which the students of Fang Nan and the students of the students are the best choice, they are the middle and high-level of the People's Army, and they have a teacher-student relationship to maintain, and their loyalty is high enough to train their families to do business.

Maybe their family is still small, and there are few talents who can do business, so it is completely possible for multiple families to form a chamber of commerce.

Fang Nan's Fang family also has to do business, as the governor of the capital, theoretically the wealth of the People's Army belongs to Fang Nan, in fact, it should belong to the large collective of the People's Army, and then take out a small part of it for the Fang family to use, this situation needs to be changed, public is public and private can not be mixed.

Fang Nan also thought of the third method, that is, to start with the commercial tax, the current commercial tax is a fixed value, the percentage of revenue is charged commercial tax, and the commercial tax can be modified in the future, the more business income, the higher the tax rate, but this method will be carried out later, at least until the People's Army is established and stable for a period of time.
