Chapter 322 Ten-Year Development Plan

In order to consolidate the victorious results of the Argentine War and seize the historical opportunity of the second industrial revolution, Li Mingyuan personally led and formulated a detailed ten-year development plan with the cooperation of officials from the central government and departments.

The Second Industrial Revolution was an industrial revolution based on internal combustion engines and electricity, which began in the middle of the 19th century and ended in the middle of the 20th century, spanning a century.

The second industrial revolution is the most favorable period for late-developing countries to catch up with and surpass the British and French powers, in this short period of time, Germany and the United States have come from behind and become the representatives of industrial countries, while Japan and Russia have incomplete political systems and low degree of industrial revolution, and can only be in the second echelon of newly industrialized countries at first.

In order to catch up with the development speed of Germany, the United States, Britain and France, it is necessary to solve the problem of insufficient educational resources and lack of industrial population.

Education is the basis for the industrial revolution, a country with a perfect industrial system, inseparable from workers at all levels, technical personnel, according to the latest year's statistics, the primary education of the national only accounted for one-tenth of the total population, of which more than half of the educated population is over 20 years old, just because to enter the factory enterprise work, received a one-year night school education, these people's cultural level is limited to simple literacy and reading, as well as some basic physical and chemical knowledge related to work, Nationals, who account for more than 90 percent of the population, generally do not know a single handful of characters, and are engaged in only purely manual labor such as farming, mining, and fishing.

The difficulty of education has a lot to do with the age of the people, the first generation of Chinese immigrants missed the best age for education, so only a small part of their generation received zero-based knowledge education, compared with them, the second generation of native children and young children who immigrated to South America with their families, more than 80 percent received compulsory education from the government.

In the first three years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a scarcity of scholars and teachers, and in order to fulfill the compulsory education decree issued by the central government, the grassroots officials tried their best to find enough teachers in one settlement, so two or three settlements could not jointly set up a primary school, and there were too many students to attend the classes, and the teachers could not accommodate all the students, so they called on the people in the settlements to build simple thatched huts, and then let all the dolls gather around the teachers to listen to the lessons.

Three years later, the agriculture and animal husbandry and textile industry of the Han Kingdom ushered in an explosive development, with grain, meat, raw silk and cloth in exchange for funds invested in education, coupled with three years of immigrants from all over the country to supplement the basic education of the Han Dynasty step by step, to this day, the country has initially completed the layout of basic education, each settlement with a population of more than 2,000 people, there is a primary school, Each county town or cluster with a total population of more than 10,000 people has an intermediate school.

Although the audience of basic education is huge, as long as you insist on the annual capital investment, you can see the results in ten years, and higher education is not simply spending money to be able to do, several colleges and universities in the Han country, the teaching content is biased towards a single discipline such as machinery and textiles, and the discipline is not professional, every year in the graduation season, the Ministry of Education will unite with the colleges and universities to screen out a group of outstanding students to study in Europe and receive a higher level of education in depth.

During the implementation of the plan, the state will devote 20% of its fiscal revenue to the field of education every year, focusing on supporting institutions of higher learning to introduce foreign teachers and study abroad education.

Support institutions of higher learning to increase the number of practical subjects such as finance, economics, and law, increase the coverage rate of higher education, and allow more students to enter institutions of higher learning. …………

Industrial development and education complement each other, in the development of education at the same time, the use of existing knowledge and the introduction of foreign technical experts, increase the research in the field of internal combustion engines, electric power, reserve science and technology in related fields in advance, and then use the first-mover advantage accumulated by Han in emerging fields to lay the foundation for the second industrial revolution, and then wait for the time to mature, come up with the mastery of technology and Western countries for technology exchange, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the industrial system, the curve beyond the ranks of emerging industrial countries.

Therefore, in order to attract immigrants and lay out agricultural industrialization, in the next ten years, the government should not only develop integrated agriculture, but also prevent large-scale annexation of land by Haoqiang, and ensure that each family moving to the Han State has at least 30 mu of cultivated land, the maximum amount of arable land is not more than 500 mu, and the maximum limit of forest land and pasture is 10,000 mu, and the excess land is taxed according to the gradient.

Education, Immigration, Agriculture, Electricity, Internal Combustion Engine Industry, Political Construction and Internal Rectification, Transportation, Medical Care, Urban Construction, Foreign Affairs, Colonial Construction, Military Industry, Shipbuilding......

The ten-year development plan involves nearly 100 industries, large and small, compared with the development plan in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ten-year development plan covers more comprehensive and detailed categories, and each large industrial industry is carefully divided into multiple aspects, and then each aspect has set a specific development model and goals. …………

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Li Mingyuan handed over the perfection of the ten-year development plan to the officials below to sort out, and then put on the exclusive marshal's military uniform and came to the conference hall in the center of the palace.

"After the end of the Argentine war, in the future, the mainland will usher in a long-term period of peace, and the staff will also review and report your contributions in the war, and in a few days, I will order the staff to publish the list of meritorious personnel in this war."

The spacious conference hall was full of high-ranking officials and generals, Li Mingyuan paused for a while, and continued: "On the issue of the evaluation of military merits, if anyone has any doubts, you can go to the General Staff to find someone to ask, and the issue of awarding rewards for military merits will not be said for the time being. As for the field army, the whole army will be reorganized in peacetime, with each division restoring the standard of 12,000 men, and the four field divisions will have an extra 16,000 men at full strength, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh field divisions and the Gyeonggi Praetorian Guard Division will be formed on the basis of the three mixed brigades.

Sun Bin and Zhao Yan, the reorganization of the four new divisions and the dismissal of the garrison and militia are led by Liu Pu, and you must cooperate well with Liu Pu's work. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"After the reorganization of the field army and the dismissal of the garrison army are completed, the total number of the army and navy will be maintained at about 1.26 million, and the household departments must do a good job in the distribution of soldiers' salaries and land, and there must be no embezzlement of soldiers' salaries and land."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the supply of land under the name of the household department is abundant, and there are eighteen states in the country, and each state has specially designated military fields."

"Well, that's right, the soldiers of the Nanyang Legion are stationed overseas, and the environment they face is more dangerous than that of the mainland, so when dividing the land for military merit, consider the contributions made by the soldiers of the Nanyang Legion."

Li Mingyuan shifted his gaze from the mainland to Nanyang, and said seriously: "According to the armistice agreement we agreed with the British, the troops stationed in Songkhla must withdraw from the local area before 1880, but there are many separatist forces in Songkhla, and once our troops withdraw, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the Wu regime, so before withdrawing, our army needs to cooperate with the army under the lord of Wu to carry out a thorough blow to the local separatist forces and eliminate the military forces of the Thai and Malay indigenous chieftains in the local area." ”

"Britain and the Netherlands have lifted the siege of the Natuna Islands, and the troops stationed in the Natuna Islands can be transferred to Songkhla to complete the blow to the separatist forces inside Songkhla before the evacuation deadline."

"There are 1,200 garrisons in the Natuna Islands, 1,500 regular troops stationed in Songkhla, plus 2,000 Songkhla troops, a total of 4,700 people, which is enough to deal with the Thai and Malay armies." ……
