The long-term threat of the British could not replace the Executive Committee's realistic thirst for money. On December 4, the executive committee held a meeting to discuss and unanimously decided to make additional investment in the machine textile factory and work quickly. To this end, a group of craftsmen in the comprehensive workshop of the Dayuhe Arsenal took urgent action and took out the components that had been prepared long ago and began to assemble the machine.

At present, two spinning machines and two looms in the machine textile mill can weave 11-12 pieces of cloth per day, 350 horses a month, under the condition of sufficient personnel, timely supply of raw materials and good operation of the equipment without failure. It's a pity that most of the only 100 people in the machine textile factory are doing the primitive work of hand ginning, and the remaining few are workers who maintain equipment and spin and weave, and the equipment breaks down from time to time, which not only leads to an increase in the scrap rate, but also delays the production time, therefore, the machine textile factory actually produces cloth every month in the range of 280 horses - 320 horses.

The two existing looms were sufficient to meet the La Plata market alone, but in view of the fact that the demand for the products in other regions could increase significantly in the future, the mill added 6 spinning machines and 6 looms. As a result, the annual production capacity has exploded to more than 14,000 horses. This is an astonishing efficiency, you must know that Britain at this time only exported more than 100,000 woolen woolen horses and a small amount of self-produced cotton cloth every year, and the power of industrial large-scale production was vividly displayed, and the handicraftsmen were completely destroyed in all aspects.

Since there was no longer enough space for these huge machines within the walls of the port of Orient, the Executive Committee allocated an open area along the river outside the western city wall to the machine textile mill on the condition that it would take a 20% stake. At the same time, a fence was erected on both sides of the plant, and the Ministry of the Interior police were on 24-hour guard to ensure that no one could peek into the secrets of the technique.

On December 15, after the new equipment was installed in place, a total of 8 textile machines and 8 looms in the machine textile mill carried out trial production using the raw materials prepared in advance.

The successful commissioning of coal mines, the profitability of textile mills, the construction of new towns, and the nearing completion of Highway 1 were all exciting events that formed the main line of December. In addition to these, one of the most striking events in December was the establishment of the latest government agencies.

The plan for the formation of the new government agencies was voted on by the National People's Congress as early as August. The supreme authority of the East Coast Republic of China remains the National People's Congress, with the Central Executive Committee as its executive body. Under the leadership of the Executive Committee, the specific administrative organs include the Administrative Council, the Joint Staff Headquarters, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Procuratorate.

The Government Council implements the Prime Minister's responsibility system, and has ten departments under its jurisdiction: the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Materials, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. The Joint Staff Headquarters has the War Department, the Admiralty Department, and the Military Tribunal; The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Honor (which can be stripped of the status of a deputy to the National People's Congress and the shares of the East Coast Company); The Supreme Prosecutor's Office has under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Commission, the Ministry of the Interior and the State Intelligence Service.

The functions of the various departments can be seen from the name. In fact, many of these posts have basically been confirmed, such as the War Department and the Navy Department, Peng Zhicheng and Wang Qinian will basically continue to hold the post of minister, but the post of chief of the general staff of the National Armed Forces will be contested between the two. It is no surprise that the president of the Supreme Court and the minister of justice will continue to serve as Bai Siwen, this guy was very hard working on promoting the founding of the country some time ago, so he has gained a lot of prestige, and this time the position of president of the Supreme Court cannot be escaped. As for the positions of president of the Supreme Procuratorate and minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jiao Tang is still the most vocal at present. The Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have all decided on the candidates for ministers long ago, and they are waiting for the vote of the Supreme People's Congress.

In addition to these positions that have no suspense, there are still some positions that will face fierce competition, and some aspiring people are gearing up a month or two in advance, stringing together everywhere, preparing to fight fiercely at the National People's Congress.

On December 20, the first National People's Congress after the establishment of the East Coast Republic of China was officially convened. 565 deputies to the National People's Congress attended the meeting, and 550 people attended the meeting, and the meeting opened with the sound of the national anthem "Singing the Motherland" played by the Army Drum Band.

Liu Weimin, director of the National People's Congress, was not verbose and went directly to the topic. The first is the election of the members of the executive committee, which is not much to say, a total of 11 members, Liu Weimin announced that as of today, a total of 15 people have received applications, and then they will be voted on by the General Assembly.

To be honest, the previous members of the Executive Committee did a pretty good job. Whether it is the development of industry, or the march of war, or trade diplomacy, it is quite decent. Therefore, there is no suspense in the election of the members of the executive committee, the original team will continue to stay, and the four people who bravely stand up to compete can only return temporarily.

Since industrial construction is the main theme in the future, Ma Jia, at the suggestion of Ma Qianzu, chairman of the Executive Committee, was elected prime minister of the Government Council with a high vote, responsible for daily construction, and he still retained the important post of minister of industry and commerce. The post of chief of the general staff of the national armed forces was fiercely contested between Peng Zhicheng and Wang Qinian, and because the performance of the army in the previous war was more intuitive, most of the deputies voted for Peng Zhicheng, so that he overtook Wang Qinian as he wished. Of course, they also held the posts of Minister of War and Secretary of the Navy.

The elections to the next functions went on without incident, as mentioned earlier. The Minister of Civil Affairs is concurrently served by Xiao Mingli, a member of the Central Executive Committee, the Minister of Finance is concurrently served by Tang Yuan, a member of the Central Executive Committee, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is concurrently served by Gao Mo, a member of the Central Executive Committee, and Xu Xin, a vice minister of trade, is also in charge of Gao Mo, and the Minister of Materials is concurrently served by Shao Shude, a member of the Central Executive Committee, and the Minister of Transportation is concurrently served by Xiao Bailang, a member of the Central Executive Committee, and Xiao Bailang is nominated as a vice premier due to his merits some time ago, the Minister of Agriculture is concurrently served by Jin Kela, a member of the Central Executive Committee, and the Minister of Education is concurrently served by Du Wen, a member of the Central Executive Committee. The Minister of Health is Mo Xiaoxi, and she is also in charge of Du Wen.

The term of office of all these offices began on 1 January 1634 and ended on 31 December 1638. After the election of these positions, Liu Weimin announced an hour's adjournment of the meeting. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Finance Minister Tang Yuan took the next year's budget table and communicated with the committee members, and only pushed it out after making sure that there were no problems.

After the meeting resumed, Finance Minister Tang Yuan presented the 1634 budget report to the delegates. In this budget report with a total amount of 500,000 yuan, the highest share is immigration costs, which are 250,000 yuan, accounting for 50%; followed by material procurement costs of 75,000 yuan, accounting for 15%; repay the arrears of 50,000 yuan in installments of the East Coast Company, accounting for 10%; The special expenditure of the Navy for ship building is 50,000 yuan, accounting for 10%; military spending of 30,000 yuan, accounting for 6%; staff salaries and office expenses of 30,000 yuan, accounting for 6%; Industrial investment and construction expenditure was 15,000 yuan, accounting for 3%.

At the same time, Tangyuan gave a report on the estimated fiscal revenue for 1634, totaling less than 400,000 yuan. Among them, industrial and commercial taxes and dividends are 160,000 yuan; minting income of 40,000 yuan; 2-30,000 yuan of various trade income; It is estimated that 5,000 tons of various grain crops will be exported, with an income of 140,000 yuan; 10,000 yuan for various types of poll tax, consumption tax and customs duties; The farmland transfer fee is 20,000 yuan.

As soon as such dazzling data was released, the entire venue was in an uproar. There was a huge deficit of 100,000 yuan between fiscal revenue and expenditure, and this deficit was even enough to build a brand-new "10 August" class battleship. The deputies to the National People's Congress suddenly became calm, and asked Finance Minister Tang Yuan how to fill the shortfall.

In this regard, Tangyuan had to say that this was only a rough budget report, and the specific income and expenditure could not be calculated in detail because there was no reference for previous years, so it could only be gradually improved in the next period of time.

"First spend according to the budget expenditure of 500,000 yuan, and then find a way when the money is not enough, it is really not possible to find the East Coast Company to borrow a sum of money for temporary turnover." Tang Yuan explained.

However, these people's congress deputies, who are rarely seen throughout the year, are obviously not satisfied, and they repeatedly question every detailed rule in the financial expenditure, making the rice balls as big as a bucket.

"The cost of immigration accounts for half of the financial expenditure, and grandma is a bear, which is really fucking expensive. A Ming Dynasty refugee is 400 yuan, which is worth the price of 40 cows, alas, I really don't know if it's worth it. ”

"What? It costs nearly 50,000 yuan to buy cattle every year? 400 cows and 4,000 pieces will be eaten in a month! Eat 48,000 pieces a year! No, no! It's too extravagant! Chop chop, chop, chop! ”

"It's not okay to cut them all, Lao Tzu is meatless and unhappy. So be it, cut it in half! I buy 200 heads a month to eat, so that it only costs 20,000 a year. ”

"It's... Still want to buy sheep? Oh, it's the development of the textile industry, well, it should be bought. ”

"This... It costs 50,000 yuan to build a warship? It's not necessary, can the project be launched? What the? Have you invested more than 10,000 in advance? Forget it, when I didn't say it, let's go ahead and finish it. ”

Everyone, you say a word, and you spray the rice balls to the end. After the finale, Tangyuan revised the financial expenditure report on the spot, and reduced the material procurement cost to 50,000 yuan; At the same time, a group of people who are both deputies to the National People's Congress and shareholders of the East Coast Company have also "magnanimously" stated that the government's debt to the East Coast Company can be deferred. If it weren't for the objections of some people, some people who had no idea would have almost said that they would have forgiven the debt. In this way, the fiscal expenditure in 1634 fell to 425,000 yuan, which was not so ugly.

The meeting dragged on until five o'clock in the afternoon, when Liu Weimin's voice announced the closing of the meeting. At this time, although there were still about ten days before the end of 1633, the year was already in the past for the traversers, and a new year was coming.
