The matter of education was decided, and Zhang Yi then asked Tang Shaoyi: "Shaochuan, how was our development last year?" ”

Tang Shaoyi sighed and said: "Jianzhi, originally last year would be our most rapid development year, but unfortunately a big war destroyed all our hard work, and the investment in various undertakings all stagnated. Because of the influx of a large amount of funds, the development of the three places has been rapid, and our financial revenue has risen by more than 120 percent again, and this is why we have reluctantly supported this war, which is very dangerous, and if we continue to fight, within half a year, our finances will only be completely dried up, and when the time comes, there will be no money, let alone a war, even if we can maintain social stability, it will be a big problem. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]-”

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Okay, the matter has passed, if we don't fight, let the great powers wantonly plunder in our territory, the damage caused to us will be even greater, you think that once the Tsarist Russian troops enter Mukden and destroy our Anshan and Liaohe oil fields, I am afraid that our hard work for several years will be completely ruined, it will be a devastating 'sex' blow!" ”

Tang Shaoyi replied: "This, of course I know, so in this war, your order has been issued, we will fully support it, this time it is to gather the strength of the whole country to carry out the war of resistance." [I love to read]"

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Okay, Shaochuan, don't worry about money, this time we defeated the coalition forces of various countries, and the huge wealth they robbed everywhere, especially the palace, was basically robbed back by us, not to mention anything else, the family property of this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is really not to be underestimated, just silver has collected more than 20 million taels, two million taels of gold, this wealth, tsk, even if it is used in that aspect, it is a huge amount of money, and the money is reluctant to 'spend', ******, just put it in its own warehouse and keep it for foreigners, This is a special indirect enemy, fortunately, he has not escaped from our palms, hahaha! ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, this time the great powers really stole the 'chicken' and couldn't eat the rice, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and also lost face, the worst thing was Tsarist Russia, 85 million pounds, plus the compensation for Germany and the United States, and the military expenditure spent on launching a large army, together, it has exceeded 130 million pounds, which is a huge amount of money, even with the national strength of Tsarist Russia, it will hurt the muscles and bones.

However, the most proud is the Republic of China, 90 million pounds of war reparations, converted into silver, that will be 200 million taels of silver, even with the current financial income of the Republic of China, it will take a year and a half to accumulate, undoubtedly this will become the most powerful driving force for the Republic of China to take off again!

Tang Shaoyi continued: "Now, the Daqing Oilfield in Heilongjiang and the coal and steel industry in Baotou have entered a critical time, the United States and Germany have invested a lot of money here, so that the two industrial zones have developed rapidly, and in another year, they are the second coal and steel complex and Liaohe Oilfield!" In other words, within three years, the amount of money we can use will quadruple again! ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Shaochuan, although these four industrial zones make our future development focus, but most of them are remote, the economic radiation of the Guannai is limited, what we have to do now is to finalize as soon as possible the project that can drive the social and economic development of our Guannai provinces, especially the national industry, this is our top priority, and our foundation in the future is still in the three eastern provinces and Shandong and other provinces!" ”

Cai Shaoji also said on the side: "Yes, now that several provinces in the Guannai have been included in our jurisdiction, how can we make the people live a good life, is what we should consider first, these provinces are less and more people, once there is a flood or drought, it is a big deal, before, we have the grain of Jiangnan, and we can quickly go north for adjustment, and now the entire Jiangnan is under the control of the Qing court, not to mention that there is a disaster year, even if there is no disaster year, I am afraid that our food supply will also be tense!" ”

Zhang Yi sighed and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but, Shaoji, this matter is not so easy to coordinate, fortunately, the development of our northeast has entered a critical period, my plan is to move 10 million people from Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces, and then to the three eastern provinces, and disperse to Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, where the land is Fertile, can become our extra-large granary, the construction of the grain base there, will greatly ease our food pressure, since ancient times the people to food as the sky, if our people, even the stomach can not be fed, then our political fu will be too much failure! ”

Cai Shaoji shook his head and said: "Even if the three eastern provinces can accommodate the excess population, it is only twenty or thirty million people, no matter how large the number is, I am afraid that the three eastern provinces will be difficult to support, but the growth rate of our country's population is only afraid that it can increase by 10 million people a year, Shanghai can support it in ten years, and in twenty or thirty years, when the time comes, our population may have broken through to 50,000 or even 60,000,000, where is there any excess land?" ”

After listening to Cai Shaoji's words, everyone here looked at each other one by one, and no one thought that Cai Shaoji would throw out such a question, damn it, according to what Cai Shaoji said, after 50 or 80 years, won't China even be able to eat?

Zhang Yi really couldn't help but laugh a little, this problem has begun to be recognized in this era, it is really laughable, but what Cai Shaoji said does have some truth, and we need to find a way to stabilize everyone's minds, this problem still seems to be a bit unfounded.

Zhang Yi replied: "Shaoji, although this problem is serious, but it is not without the truth that cannot be solved, a science and technology is developing rapidly, within 30 years, the grain planting technology will be developed by leaps and bounds, although our land is limited, but our grain output will have a big rise, there will be no problems in a short period of time, and then, it is the problem of population, we really can't let the natural disorderly growth of the population, if it has been growing like this, Once our population exceeds 100,000, the food pressure we are facing will bring disaster to the world, so orderly control of population growth, this is the topic we need to study in the future, but this topic is not a problem we have to solve now, let's do it first, you can organize a part of the research first, and then we will continue to discuss our development problems! ”
