Chapter 207 Economic Planning
Just as Li Puyu and Lisa were chatting, at this time, Li Puyu's secretary general walked in and saluted Li Puyu and said, "Report to the chairman, Prime Minister Ampdulleni is at the door, saying that there is something important looking for you." ”
"Okay, let him in. I happened to have some economic and political things to talk to him about. Let's talk to him when I come. Li Puyu said:
Ampdullerni walked in and said straight to the point: "My chairman, you are really busy, you have to trouble seeing you this month." ”
After hearing this, Li Puyu said with a smile: "I'm not busy, I just like to run around, but Ampdulleni is the busy person." Say, you Ampdulleni belong to the kind of lord who does nothing but ascend to the Three Jewels. ”
"My big chairman, you are doing a good job of shaking off the big showcase, I am now in the treasury of the African People's Republic, ****** will soon run out of money, and in less than a week, we can announce to the world that the newly established people's government of the African People's Republic has declared bankruptcy due to financial and economic shortages." Ampdullerni said to Li Puyu with a joking expression at this time:
Li Puyu frowned after hearing Ampdullerni's words and said: "I said that before Ampdullerni, didn't I give nearly 500 million non-yuan as government activity funds?" How can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone? ”
"Okay, Chairman, I'll tell you how to calculate the economic accounts of the African people's government, our country has just been formed, and the whole country can be said to be in a blank state. So last year, we invested 100 million yuan in education, 50 million yuan in medical care, and 120 million yuan in roads and urban construction. 140 million yuan was invested in the construction of the two major industrial zones. In addition, 30 million was spent on the resettlement of refugees from all over the country. It also cost more than 20 million yuan to pay salaries to officials at all levels. Now there are less than 40 million non-yuan left. Ampdulleni said:
"We've built a lot of industrial construction before. But the chairman has a big mouth and a national enterprise is exempt from tax for three years. You will be exempt from tax exemption for five years on land cultivated by farmers. Our government is also promoting free medical care and free education. Literacy for all, HIV/AIDS prevention for all. Can you tell me what this AIDS thing is? Ampdulleni said as he slapped the papers in his hand, and the more he spoke, the louder he became.
When Li Puyu heard that AIDS had occurred, her head suddenly became big, and her head was directly hung with a black line. I secretly cursed myself for making such a mistake, the world's first AIDS case was discovered in 1981, and the patient was a gay American man.
Li Puyu knew that the matter was big, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Okay, okay, maybe my negligence was wrong, if you don't come to me today, I will also go to you." It has been four or five months since the founding of our country, and we must seize the time to convene the first National People's Congress. You immediately arranged for all localities to proceed with the election of deputies to the people's congress. In addition, this congress must draw up the first set of constitutions of our country. In addition, the first five-year economic construction plan should also be brought out. Money is not a problem, we still have a lot of gold reserves in our hands, and it will definitely cost us money to occupy such a place. ”
After listening to Li Puyu's words, Ampdullerni returned to the topic and said: "Chairman, I take the liberty of saying that you can't just print money. You know that this fiscal deficit is very harmful, and it is not a solution for us to just go out, and I support you for exempting those peasants from land taxes, but those commercial taxes and industrial taxes are a bit too arbitrary. ”
"Don't worry, we can't get taxes on agriculture, commerce and industry for the time being, but we can collect personal interest income tax and tobacco and salt tax. Don't underestimate this, we have operated well in this regard, and the financial pressure has been greatly relieved. This aspect of taxation is not collected directly from the hands of the common people. Instead, they collect it directly when they pay their salary. As for the salt tax and tobacco tax, it is collected by the enterprise, and when the enterprise sells it out, it is the price after the tax is added. Salt is a necessity, no one can run, as for cigarettes, it belongs to the luxury sequence and is not a necessity, you can smoke it or not, the choice is in the hands of the people, they can't say let's grab it. Li Puyu said:
After hearing this, Ampdulleni secretly scolded in his heart, Chairman, you are blacker than us blacks, but then I thought that salt is not food, and tobacco is not as important as salt. Income tax on personal remuneration and interest is also a way to average out the gap between the rich and the poor and say, "Well, chairman, this is also a helpless way." How many percentages of personal interest income tax is charged, and what is the method of collecting salt tax and salt tax? ”
After hearing this, Li Puyu said: "Personal interest income tax, I plan to do this, if our annual national income reaches 70 yuan and the monthly income reaches 6 yuan, personal interest income tax will be levied at a rate of 20%, salt tax will be levied at 2 yuan per 100 kilograms, and tobacco tax will be levied at 25% per box of 20 cigarettes. ”
After hearing this, Ampdulleni said: "Chairman, what you mean is that you and I have a salary of 20 yuan a month and 240 yuan a year. According to the ratio you set, we have to pay 48 yuan in taxes to the state every year. ”
"Yes." Li Puyu replied:
Then Li Puyu turned around, picked up a cigarette, put it in his mouth and said, "In this way, the financial problems of you and me will be solved." In addition, I plan to build three heavy industrial zones and seven light industrial zones in the newly liberated areas to get the country on the right track as soon as possible. There is another thing that I must explain to you, I am a Chinese, and China in Asia is also my roots, he is being invaded by the Japanese invaders, and I must do everything in my power to help him hope that you can understand. ”
Ampdullerni naturally knew Li Puyu's feelings for that ancient oriental country, so he said: "The African People's Republic was created by you and belongs to you, if you want to help him, I have no opinion and will not have an opinion." It's your right, and it's up to you how to play it, and there's a lot of mess here to clean up. ”
Li Puyu is naturally waiting for this sentence, if Ampdullerni raises an objection, then in Li Puyu's eyes, he has already been kicked out of the game. Replacing him with a loyal man to take over as prime minister is clearly putting Mr. Ampdulleri in his right place. So this made Li Puyu feel a lot more at ease with him. So Li Puyu said: "By the way, you will inform the central bank to speed up the printing of one billion non-yuan later." If it is not enough, the first tranche of government bonds will be issued. More of it will cause inflation. It's not good. ”
