Chapter 345
After Qiu Niang's reminder, Li Wenyuan remembered that when he faced the civil and military ministers in the council hall in the morning, he seemed to have said such things in order to cover up his embarrassment. When even if you slap your head and secretly scold yourself for being confused, how can you forget such an important thing. Thinking that if he really released the pigeons of these civil and military ministers, then how would he face the anger of the Manchu civil and military forces in the early days of tomorrow? Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a chill, and helplessly, as Qiu Niang said, obediently gave up his lunch break and returned to his office. After a little thought, he referred to the amendment next to him and began to issue orders to his ministers. It is necessary to adjust the values of some things in your own territory to the requirements of the amendment, so that the entire amendment can be implemented smoothly.
But some things are easier said than done. In the book, it can be simply brushed aside, but in fact, Li Wenyuan really spent some effort to adjust these values, after all, some things are not as simple as imagined. For example, in order to cope with the losses and losses brought about by a possible war, the arsenal began to work overtime to produce as many muskets, weapons and other military materials as possible, which required an adequate supply of steel. But after all, the Western Regions is so big, and there are only a few iron mines, and the number of output each month is fixed, even if there will be some ups and downs, it is just a drop in the bucket and does not affect the overall situation. But now that the arsenal is in the service of the war, it is natural that it will have to embezzle more steel output. Correspondingly, the amount of steel supplied to the private sector will be greatly reduced, and according to the general law of the market, when the supply of a commodity decreases, its price will slowly rise due to changes in supply and demand.
This matter is only a very normal market self-regulation, but once someone with a heart is aware of this matter, and then secretly hoards goods, then the price rise is no longer a healthy self-regulation of the market itself, but has become a profit tool for some people to enrich their own pockets. What Li Wenyuan has to do is to use the power of the government and through various means to keep the magnitude and pace of price increases within a normal level. The democratic government of the Western Regions Army will carry out the necessary guidance and maintenance of the market, after all, it is a matter of people's livelihood, and Li Wenyuan does not dare to decide on his own. For such things, Li Wenyuan needed to gather those relevant officials in the imperial palace of Dunhuang County separately for a discussion on the scope. After all, Li Wenyuan is not an immortal, he can't be omniscient, and he still needs to consult those professionals for some specific details.
In fact, many of these ministers can be called Li Wenyuan's disciples and grandchildren, and they are all graduates of the political and industrial university that Li Wenyuan originally founded in Wuwei County. After all these years of hard work in the officialdom, they have finally survived to the position they are in today, and when Li Wenyuan asks them to open up their views for discussion and debate, they will not dare to speak out because they are afraid of Li Wenyuan's ideas, and they will spare no effort to publicize their own ideas, and at the same time, they will also analyze the shortcomings in other people's ideas. In debate, it is inevitable that sometimes they will be emotional and out-of-line, which is normal, but these people maintain unconditional trust in Li Wenyuan's decision-making and will not refute it.
But when Li Wenyuan pointed out a future direction for them, they would all give up their original ideas in their hearts, choose unconditional trust and obedience to Li Wenyuan, and do their best to improve the loopholes and deficiencies in Li Wenyuan's ideas. After all, Li Wenyuan has proved to them with facts that he is farsighted and correct in the past countless days, and no one dares to guarantee that his ideas will be more effective than Li Wenyuan's, and all they can do is refine them in the direction pointed out by Li Wenyuan.
Therefore, after experiencing the debate above the court, Li Wenyuan set the general direction of the development of the Western Regions in the future, and then successively held hundreds of meetings to discuss the scope of this kind before discussing the final handling of relevant matters, and then transformed it into a written implementation method and issued it, and then sent it to these people in the form of an order. All of a sudden, with the cooperation of officials at all levels and the people under Li Wenyuan's rule, the entire Spanish-speaking county and the land under Li Wenyuan's rule were like a sophisticated machine, running efficiently. In a word, everything is prepared for war.
In order to curb the soaring prices of steel products after the start of the war, Li Wenyuan decided to make a linear steel transition plan to avoid the hidden danger of a sharp reduction in the total supply of iron for civilian use after the sudden transfer of large quantities of steel to military factories. In this plan, Li Wenyuan planned a one-month buffer period, during which each factory had to work overtime to stock up on raw materials and finished products and include them in inventory. At the same time, in order to make up for the sudden excess of these enterprises' warehousing expenses, Li Wenyuan, after consulting with the ministers, decided to exempt these workers and factories from taxes for the next year, which can be regarded as a token of gratitude for these enterprises' support for the army.
Naturally, Li Wenyuan didn't need to worry about grain, thanks to the good foundation laid by the two emperors Yang Jian and Yang Guang over the years, Li Wenyuan's grain reserves were very sufficient when he took over the Sui Dynasty, and he did not squander excessively after taking over, so he did not worry about the problem of grain since the day he started the army. Later, with the bumper harvest of the land under his rule year after year, neither military nor civilian food has ever sucked blood, not to mention the problem of soaring food prices. This is also the reason why when those forces in the Central Plains were still fighting with each other for one or two grain-producing areas or provinces with large populations, Li Wenyuan had already taken the lead in completing the process of industrialization in his territory and the construction of firearms in the army. At the same time, the abundance of food also eliminated the need for Li Wenyuan to target his expansion on land that was useless except to produce food. On the contrary, he can raise troops for various mineral deposits or places such as military strongholds. This allowed him to expand in the same amount of time far more freely than in the Central Plains, and allowed him to win at the starting line.
This kind of expansion allows Li Wenyuan, who has no food to worry about, to incorporate more mineral resources into his rule, and can accumulate strength more quickly.
