Chapter 228 The standard cannot be lowered

The minimum wage guarantee established by the Qin Empire seemed to be a non-existent after a few years. Because of the implementation of the minimum wage standard, the company cannot recruit workers, and can only increase the salary to recruit workers.

As productivity increases, people's living standards are also getting higher and higher, and it is imperative to increase wages. Of course, it is inevitable that the result of an increase in workers' wages will be an increase in prices.

Xiao He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord, increase the salary, the cabinet is under great pressure!" ”

Ye Tong was speechless for a while after hearing this, the salary increase was only 10%-20%, which was a matter of billions of yuan, which was nothing for the current financial revenue of the Qin Empire.

"Xiao He! General Ben once said that the Cabinet could consider adopting an appropriate fiscal deficit that would solve the problem. Don't be too conservative to think about how much money you have to do as much as you want. Be clear that an appropriate fiscal deficit is good for the economic development of the empire.

Imagine that large-scale investment will lead to the development of many industries and increase tax revenue. What your cabinet is worried about, as long as you grasp a certain degree and do not arbitrarily run a large-scale fiscal deficit, there is no problem with an appropriate fiscal deficit. ”

It is indeed beneficial for the state to implement an appropriate fiscal deficit, and if you think about it, the fiscal deficit of Eagle Sauce is as high as trillions, and there is no big problem with the economy.

Of course, if the fiscal deficit is too large, if it is not well controlled, and if it acts recklessly, the economy will surely collapse. It is directly related to the strength and credibility of the country.

"My lord, the fiscal deficit has also been engaged in over the years, but the amount is small, more than 1 billion yuan per year, and it can't solve too big a problem."

Shame!

With a fiscal deficit of more than 1 billion yuan every year, what is the problem, why not?

"Xiao He, the empire's annual fiscal revenue is as high as nearly 70 billion, and the cabinet has a deficit budget of 20 billion yuan, which can only promote economic development and will not cause any harm. With a bit of audacity, the cabinet could calculate what the annual rate of growth of the imperial treasury and tax revenues would be, so as to formulate a more reasonable deficit budget. ”

The empire's annual tax revenue growth reached more than 20%, and the fiscal deficit of 20 billion yuan could be filled by the following year, and there would be no price increase at all.

The investment of 20 billion yuan will drive hundreds of billions of capital investment, which is beneficial to the economic development of the Qin Empire.

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "My lord, this matter will be calculated by the cabinet, and if it is feasible, the implementation of a fiscal deficit budget of 20 billion yuan should be able to stimulate the development of some industries." But rising prices are inevitable. ”

Hehe!

"Xiao He, I don't want to increase my salary, there is another way, prices will definitely not rise."

"What's the solution?"

"If the subsidy policy is implemented in agriculture and animal husbandry, and the cabinet pays for it, grain prices will not rise, and prices will not be affected."

Xiao He immediately shook his head after hearing this, joking, that is a lot of money, and the problem of agricultural and animal husbandry subsidies cannot be solved without tens of billions.

Wage increases only need billions, and subsidies for agriculture and animal husbandry will cost tens of billions. For Xiao He, he is unwilling to die.

In fact, Ye Tong suggested that salaries should be appropriately increased and the purchase price of agricultural and animal husbandry products should be greatly increased, with the aim of narrowing the price difference between industrial and agricultural products. To put it simply, it is the redistribution of income, so that the originally unreasonable distribution will become reasonable; Let the production of agriculture and animal husbandry obtain greater benefits.

"Lord, the cabinet is under great financial pressure, and railway construction, highway construction, Yellow River control, and desert management projects all require large sums of money, and it is better to take appropriate measures to increase salaries."

Several major projects, Ye Tong knows, do require a lot of capital investment. The problem is that millions of students from civilized schools have thrown in, and the cabinet has only contributed some food, and the investment is already very small.

If several major projects are fully invested, it is estimated that they will not be completed in another ten years. Besides, the investment in railway construction is funded by Dingjunshan, and the cabinet does not seem to have contributed money, and the cabinet pressure is there, but it will not be as serious as Xiao He said.

"By the way, how is the Yellow River governed?" Ye Tong asked.

Xiao He said with a smile: "If there is really a fiscal deficit of 20 billion yuan, and there are more students in the civilized school, the new Yellow River can be completed in June next year, including three super hydropower stations." ”

So fast!

Xiao He's words surprised Ye Tong, the plan was to be completed in two to three years, and it was only how long. But if you think about it carefully, I think it's nothing, after all, the Northern Expedition was carried out, and the Qin army sent a large number of prisoners, plus the cabinet members, who were concerned about the governance of the Yellow River, and it was completely completed ahead of schedule.

"Xiao He, if the new Yellow River can be completed in June next year, the military department will send more than 5 million prisoners, and take advantage of the dry season, can the old Yellow River be dredged?" Ye Tong asked: "Of course, Dingjun Mountain will specialize in developing and producing a batch of heavy machinery for the treatment and dredging of the old Yellow River. ”

The governance of the Yellow River is a big event, and with the attention of the cabinet, Ye Tong feels that it is a little more difficult to improve the old Yellow River in advance, and it is definitely a good thing for the people along the Yellow River.

"My lord, if we can send 5 million captives to the civilized school after the beginning of spring, not only can the new Yellow River Road be completed ahead of schedule, but the construction of the highway can also be accelerated." Xiao He replied affirmatively.

Ye Tong estimated in his heart that the winter offensive should be able to capture more than 5 million Huns. The three corps of Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Jiang Song all launched a winter offensive.

After the Huns gathered in winter, they could not migrate because of the snow. Once the Qin army attacked, it would be able to capture more Huns, that is for sure.

As for the offensive of Han Shin and the navy, due to geographical factors, it was impossible to obtain more prisoners. In addition, the Xiongnu people posed the greatest threat to the empire, and they were the natural enemies and feuds of the Yanhuang people.

Hehe!

"5 million captives should be no problem, and if it is June, it should be able to take tens of millions. When the time comes, the Cabinet must accelerate investment in highways. The transportation problem has seriously affected the development of the empire's economy. ”

The background is not enough!

The new Qin Empire is only a few years old, and many projects cannot be followed. If it is given ten times, the road and railway transportation problems of the Qin Empire will be completely solved.

The development of the Qin Empire was very fast, but Ye Tong was anxious. Ye Tong didn't know if there was a golden finger in the western region. Once there is a golden finger, the Qin Empire has no advantage at all.

What's more, Ye Tong doesn't know when the golden finger of the West came and how far the technology of the West has developed, these are all mysteries, he can't figure it out, and he is not sure.

After hearing this, Xiao He immediately assured: "As long as more prisoners enter the civilized school, the investment cabinet in the control of the Yellow River, desert control, highways, and hydropower will definitely be increased, and it will be completed in the shortest possible time." ”

At present, the Qin Empire's railways have only been built about 30,000 kilometers (here refers to the double line, not the single-track railway), and in order to build the Qin Empire's railway network well, the railway mileage must reach more than 100,000 kilometers, which refers to the core area of the empire.

The railway is an investment in Dingjunshan, and there is no need to worry about investment. The highway is a cabinet investment, Ye Tong is very worried, for the large-scale construction of roads in the empire, the cabinet members have different opinions, feel that it is unnecessary.

"Xiao He, highway investment really needs to speed up, and there is nothing on both sides of the first-class highway, and trees should be planted on both sides of the highway, and it is best to plant trees within 500 meters on both sides of the first-class highway.

In that way, one is to beautify the environment, and the other is to prevent soil erosion.

Or is it a separation zone in the middle of a first-class highway, which is also nothing, and will not be planted with some plants? It is strictly forbidden to occupy within 500 meters on both sides of the highway, and the cabinet should make a regulation on this point.

There are also the two banks of the Yellow River, which must be planted with trees within 5,000 meters and must not be cut down. Within 5,000 meters, if there are people, mobilize and relocate.

Once the Yellow River is well managed, it must be the case whether it is the new Yellow River or the old Yellow River. The Yellow River needs to be protected, and if it is not protected, it will not take a few years for the Yellow River to have big problems. ”

Ye Tong sat in the airship and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the situation on the highway and the Yellow River. This cannot be blamed on the cabinet, after all, Xiao He cabinet members have no awareness of environmental protection, let alone the concept of greening.

In Xiao He's heart, as long as the Yellow River is well managed and the highway is built, it will benefit the people, and the problem of greening and beautification will be thought of there.

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Lord, the greening problem is easy to solve. It's just the standard of that highway, whether it can go down the point. There is no problem with the construction of primary roads on several main roads in the Empire. The problem is that the roads between counties should also be built into first-class roads, and there is no need for that. ”

The highways of the Qin Empire were of a very high grade, and under Ye Tong's strong suggestion, several main roads in the empire and the roads between counties must be built into first-class highways.

Secondary roads must be built from county to county and between counties. The roads between counties and townships and villages must be third-class roads. Such a standard makes the cabinet feel that the investment is too large.

Ye Tong knew in his heart that Dingjunshan had already developed a car, and once it was mass-produced, it would not take a few years for the car to be popularized in the empire, and then transportation would become a big problem.

Take advantage of the current time to build roads, in place at one time, and save repeated investment. Besides, there are so many students in the Imperial Civilization School, and the cabinet did not spend much money on projects such as building roads, controlling the Yellow River, and controlling deserts.

What's more, the development of those major projects has led to the development of many industries in the empire. Whether it is construction, building materials, steel, machinery manufacturing, etc., it has ushered in unprecedented development.

With the great development of all walks of life, the tax revenue of the empire also grew rapidly. To put it bluntly, it's a virtuous circle. Not only the income of the people has increased, but the enterprises have also gained opportunities for development.

Hehe!

"Xiao He, General Ben knows that you cabinet members feel that the standard of road construction is too high and it is a waste of money.

However, as long as it takes another two years, you will find that such a high standard of highway investment is really good, and General Ben does not want to say more, and will speak with facts in a few years. ”

Traffic jams and congestion will definitely occur, even by today's standards. Once cars reach every household, transportation becomes a big problem.

Xiao He thought about it and didn't object, after all, Ye Tong's several suggestions were verified in the end. Ye Tong's words were forward-looking.

Not to mention anything else, the construction of banks, railways, and industrial parks was firmly opposed by the cabinet at the beginning. After several developments, the cabinet members understood that several major industrial and technological parks had really driven the take-off of the empire's economy.
