Chapter 550: A New Problem
Leng Tianbing smiled bitterly: "I can't help this matter, the Military Commission has decided so, just let Dong Fei discuss with Li Lin." ”
Xu Lang asked again: "What about the people, the army has been expanded to 30,000, how can the people solve it?" There is also the question of money, can we afford so much military spending? ”
"It's good to say, didn't you bring back a group of people from Vietnam this time, the population of our Yulin Bay is almost 1890,000 now. The Vietnamese army can let Li Fuqiang recruit troops in Vietnam, and we can recruit troops in Hainan, so there should be no problem. As for the money, the committee has to settle it, and there is nothing I can do. ”
Xu Lang heard Leng Tianbing say that he was bringing people back from Vietnam, and suddenly remembered something, got up and said: "I have something to go to the committee, I only have a little opinion on this plan of yours, there is no need to keep four mobile brigades in Yulin Bay, two are enough, and the rest can all be transferred to reserves." ”
Leng Tianbing wanted to ask something more, but Xu Lang had already pushed the door and went out.
Xu Lang came to the office of Qin Songwang of the committee: "Old Qin, I'm busy." ”
"Chief of General Staff Xu, what kind of wind blew you here?" Qin Songwang has always felt a little indebted to Xu Lang since he was the head of the independent investigation team last time, but he has never told Xu Lang.
"I'm looking for something for you." Xu Lang didn't need to let go, he sat down first, "Wan Tao and I brought back more than 10,000 people from Vietnam this time, and there may be more in the future, you also know this matter very well, I won't say more." But I want to ask your committee how you want to accommodate this group of people, and I mean how they work and where they live. ”
"This committee has a plan." Qin Songwang didn't know what Xu Lang meant by asking, "All the conscripts who can enlist in the army, and those who can't enlist will first be arranged to be in charge of building roads in Di Chong's construction company, or go to Shen Daxing to produce munitions." As for the residence, the work will be arranged wherever they go, and if there is no work, they will be arranged in the original settlement of displaced people. ”
Xu Lang also knew that this was the best way, but he still asked: "Old Qin, don't you think that our hardware facilities in Yulin Bay are very imperfect now due to the population explosion. In other words, the gap between rich and poor is getting wider. ”
Qin Songwang arrived at two glasses of water and handed Xu Lang a glass: "The committee has studied this issue, and there is indeed the situation you mentioned. We are now like Hong Kong in the fifties and sixties, when the population of Hong Kong exploded, and between the end of 1949 and the mid-1950s alone, 750,000 people poured into Hong Kong from the mainland. The large population has brought prosperity to Hong Kong, but at the same time, the lag of various social welfare resources and public resources has led to serious corruption problems in Hong Kong, especially in the police force. ”
Qin Songwang was halfway through speaking, and when he saw that Xu Lang had been looking at himself and laughing, he unconsciously stopped talking: "What's the matter, what are you laughing at, am I not right?" ”
"I didn't say you were wrong." Xu Lang smiled, "I came to you today just to ask this question." Personally, I feel that we are now following the old path of Hong Kong, where the gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse and worse, and the soaring housing prices have left the vast majority of people without a fixed place to live. Ye Sunquan is now going to buy land and build a house, but at least two-thirds of us don't have their own houses. Xiayang's land reform was only dividing land for the aborigines, and the new immigrants had nothing. After I came back, I asked Qian Shansu that now that the Independent Commission Against Corruption is getting busier and busier, and the number of cases of corruption and bribery is increasing. Last time, more than a dozen people were summoned from the patrol room and customs at once, which made Liu Guannan and Li Lin very faceless. ”
Qin Songwang smacked a sip of water: "We all know what you said, but if there is any good way, our infrastructure construction can't keep up at all." Now most of the focus is on expanding the army, and I have a statistic at hand. ”
Qin Songwang got up and rummaged through the filing cabinet: "Look at this, our current military spending accounts for more than 35% of our entire Yulin Bay GDP. We don't have the money to do anything else, I personally think this proportion is too high, the original old Maozi's military spending accounted for 11% of their economy to bring down their economy, and we are now more than three times as much as theirs. ”
"We have to talk about this in two ways, we are now in a time of war, not peace." Xu Lang glanced at the data handed over by Qin Songwang, "But it's indeed a bit high, can you find a way to reduce this ratio." ”
"How?" Qin Songwang was laughed at by Xu Lang, "You are the chief of the General Staff, can you agree to reduce military spending?" ”
"I didn't say that." Xu Lang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't take me to the ditch." Lao Qin, let's not talk about military spending, I have an idea, can Di Chong build some low-rent houses to arrange new immigrants? In addition, now that we control the entire Hainan Island, can we consider arranging for new immigrants to other states and counties, and don't always crowd in Yulin Bay. ”
"The committee has been letting Di Chong do it, but it's progressing very slowly." Qin Songwang hesitated, "If you settle new immigrants in other states and counties, I'm afraid there will be new problems." Not to mention anything else, the number of these new immigrants is very large, but they all have clan power, and we can still watch it in Yulin Bay, and we can also arrange a job temporarily. If you go to another state or county, there will be problems with no jobs and no more land. ”
Xu Lang and Qin Songwang discussed for a while and didn't discuss any good way, and seeing that it was not early, Xu Lang said goodbye and went home.
After dinner, Xu Lang returned to the bedroom, found a pen and paper, and prepared to write a proposal on this issue for the upcoming crossing conference. But I didn't know how to write after scratching my ears and cheeks for a long time with the pen, so I put the pen down helplessly.
The two newborn babies have already eaten and slept, and Cheng Yiyi has now found someone to make two cribs and put them in the bedroom. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yong sneaked in, lying on the side of the bed of their younger brothers and sisters, and kept looking at the two little ones.
"You two don't be naughty, your younger siblings just fell asleep, don't wake them up." Cheng Yiyi warned with a smile on the side.
"Auntie." Xiaoyan walked up to Cheng Yiyi's side and asked, "When will the little brother and little sister get out of bed to play with us?" ”
Cheng Yiyi caressed Xiaoyan in her arms: "When they grow up to be as tall as you, they can play with you, do you like little brother or little sister?" ”
"I like them all." Xiaoyan broke free from Cheng Yiyi's arms and climbed into bed, "Auntie, Erniang, I'll sleep with you today, I want to watch my younger brothers and sisters at night." ”
"Auntie, Er Niang, I want to sleep here too." Hyo-yong also climbed into bed with his brother.
