Twenty-five, the invisible hand makes money, and the visible hand rolls up

The Department of Culture's research on the regularization of unified secondary education was disputed for more than two months without a conclusion, and finally Fu Ning issued a document, "Divide secondary education into two parts: junior high school education and high school education, and first unify the proposal of formalizing junior high school education; Three years in junior high school and three years in high school, and the textbooks are changed once a year; Outstanding students enter university in advance, middle students enter university after six years, and poor students enter technical schools for one year of training after six years and then enter factories or society! ā€ć€‚ Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the end, the Department of Culture accepted Fu Ning's suggestion, and junior high school education was formalized first, but high school education was set at two years; The enrollment conditions of the university department are that as long as you graduate from junior high school with excellent grades, you can go directly to university, but if you have bad grades but have been in middle school for five years, you can also go directly to university.

The education system of the Department of Culture is still gradually improving and developing, but it is not a matter of overnight, but one basic principle is inconvenient -- we must popularize education and make every effort to develop education and scientific research!

Almost monopolistic industry and commerce provided a large amount of materials and money to the officials of the East China Sea State, and then spread it to all parties in society, and the policies guided by Fu Ning often made all those in the know extremely shocked! -- A telephone set costing 35 silver dollars can be sold to the people at a price of 1 or 200 silver dollars, and it is still in short supply! Washing machines that cost twenty or thirty silver dollars and are bulky will often be sold to the private sector for four or five hundred silver dollars, and the price will be reduced when they are unsalable, and the price will increase when the supply exceeds demand! The intelligence department's civil tax report was changed and changed, and finally it was only a briefing and handed it to Fu Ning, because the annual tax report could not be done at all, and the price fluctuations of new products in the civilian industry caused the intelligence department to not be able to count how much consumers paid because of this!

Lao Yue of the Finance Department has an even more headache than the Intelligence Department, and the total value of the production and consumption of the Industrial Department cannot be counted at all, because many industrial products are exchanged and distributed among the departments and departments at a valuation, and second, because the fiscal deficit exceeds the tax revenue several times, and the deficit part is often offset by industrial profits and the printing of paper money! What makes Lao Yue even more frightened and strange is that the prices of grain and basic materials often do not fluctuate, and the price of grain is actually decreasing! All these facts are beyond Lao Yue's understanding, but Fu Ning's explanation to Lao Yue Lao Yue can't be understood, so Lao Yue can only let Fu Ning implement economic manipulation and adjustment!

Lao Yue and the entire financial secretary could not understand the fiscal policy and deficit figures of the East China Sea State, so they could only report various statistical statements to Fu Ning on a regular basis; But Fu Ning knows very well, because Fu Ning is not looking at the financial figures at all, but at the various production and consumption figures of industry and agriculture!

The scale of the planned economy of the East China Sea is much larger than that of the market economy, so the economic statistical statements often lose their meaning and can only be used as a reference. The stability of resettlement in the Kanto Prefecture and the large-scale development of agriculture have spurred up the quantity of agricultural products, so it is natural that the price of agricultural products will be reduced. New industrial products always fall to the evaluation at extremely high prices, so they lose the price reference value, but the purchasing power of the silver dollar is real, so the price of grain and the purchasing power of the silver dollar are the main reference values of paper money; Rather than using the uncountable economic aggregate, it is better to use the purchasing power of the silver dollar as a reference data for the issuance of banknotes, which is Fu Ning's way of thinking, and the facts have proved that Fu Ning has taken the right step. As for taxation, the profits of monopoly industry are the main source of fiscal revenue, and if relying on agricultural taxes and commercial taxes will only let the people directly see that their money has been taken away by the government, that is something that Fu Ning is unwilling to do, so the East China Sea State implements no tax on agriculture and low taxes on commerce! Where does the official money come from? Profits from monopoly industry!

Mining is official, and the resources are equivalent to free access; The Department of Industry and the Department of Transportation have successively used millions of young and strong laborers of different races, which is equivalent to free, so the East China Sea State actually pays mainly military and administrative costs; The products of monopoly industry are often sold to the society at several times or even dozens of times the price, so the financial revenue of the East China Sea State essentially comes from land and minerals, free foreign labor, and people's consumption. But the people did not directly see that they were paying taxes, and the official rewards and in-kind distributions were recurring, so the people only saw the official benefits.

The "invisible hand" obtains resources from land and mines, obtains free labor from foreign races, obtains profits from consumers, and then "sees the hand" to implement agricultural tax exemption and low commercial tax, and at the same time reward the people, develop scientific research and education, this is the means by which Fu Ning guides the economy of the East China Sea, and the purpose of this is the development of industrialization and the rapid development of science and education!

It's very simple to say, but it's hard to do, one is to develop down-to-earth, and the other is that the control of details and rhythm is very important, and the promotion of internal combustion engines is an example!

As early as when Fu Ning occupied Jilong Port and did not set up a scientific research department, Fu Ning put forward the theory of diesel engine, but due to the backwardness of machinery manufacturing technology, a prototype of a diesel engine with five to twelve horsepower appeared a few years later; However, after the appearance of the prototype, it was limited by the shortage of fuel and could not be promoted, so that it could only be used to smelt diesel from the thermal oil purchased from Arab merchants, and the diesel engine prototype could only be an item in the laboratory, and it was not until the discovery of the small oil mine in Cebu and the mining of the Bo oil mine in Borneo that the promotion of the internal combustion engine was possible; However, because the synthetic rubber technology has not been able to break through, the internal combustion engine can only be promoted as a fixed power after the petroleum smelting industry is launched; When Fu Ning thought of the chain roller tractor and started industrial production, he did not expect that it was just synthetic rubber that broke through, so the wheeled machinery and vehicle industry began to be established again; But now after the wheeled machinery and vehicle industry is rolled out, I find that the petroleum smelting industry at this time can't keep up!

Now the layout of wheeled mechanical vehicles has been carried out on a large scale, but the layout of oil exploitation and industrial production of synthetic rubber in Bo Ni Hall is obviously not matched, fortunately, time is still in time!

In fact, in the past two years, the development of the oil exploitation and smelting industry in Bo Ni Hall has been extremely rapid, but the development of the internal combustion engine manufacturing industry has been too fast, so that it seems that the supporting industries such as oil exploitation and related processing and synthesis cannot keep up. Diesel and gasoline-powered internal combustion engines have great applicability in fixed power, because they are easy to move, flexible to use, powerful, and relatively small in size, which has better applicability than steam engines; Now as a vehicle and ship power after the internal combustion engine is more widely applicable, so Fu Ning led the layout of the machinery industry far beyond the imagination of everyone, more than 10 major cities in the East China Sea have planned machinery manufacturing plants, large internal combustion engine power is mainly deployed in the chicken cage, Nagasaki, Lushun and Shenyang four halls and cities, small internal combustion engine power almost to every large hall city, even the northeast of Australia initially built Australia New Port has received a telegram from the Department of Industry, was required to immediately plan the machinery manufacturing industrial zone, Prepare to receive the industrial technical data and personnel sent by Lushun at any time to build a large machine factory!

If the plan formulated by Fu Ning and the General Staff Department is well implemented, it can be expected that the East China Sea will achieve the goal of producing 300,000 internal combustion engines per year in two years, but it can also be expected that the relevant supporting machinery and fuel supply will definitely be far from keeping up, so the Industrial Department has great doubts about Fu Ning's plan goal!

Fu Ning wants to "eat a fat man in one bite", which is inconceivable to anyone, fortunately, the officials of the East China Sea have long been accustomed to Fu Ning's various "crazy plans", so the departments can only pick up the gaps and try to fill the gaps in the plan, so the oil exploitation and smelting and processing of Borneo Bo Ni Hall have to formulate corresponding supporting plans, in order to achieve the crazy development of the oil industry, in order to keep up with the pace of development of the internal combustion engine industry!!

In order to keep up with Fu Ning's development ideas, the General Staff had to repeatedly formulate and improve the industrial development plan of the East China Sea State, so that the annual development plan of 1728 was not finalized until April, and it became a biennial development plan. At this time, the forward cavalry division of the War Department's westward expedition had reached Uriya Sutai, and the heavy diesel-powered assembly line in Shenyang had also been fully rolled out.

In April, the weather in the Kwantung Prefecture was still very cold, but the prisoners of the early stage of the Western Expedition had been sent back to the Horqin grassland, and then by light rail from Horqin to Siping, and then to all the places in the East China Sea that needed cattle, sheep, horses, and foreign young labor.

The desert in winter is very cold, and the westward expedition of the War Department of the East China Sea State has sufficient supplies and material support, so it is not very difficult to conquer and plunder on the grassland, but the border army under the jurisdiction of Changwu in the northern Xinjiang of the imperial court is not good! The border army of the imperial court could not adapt to the cold winter of Mobei and had to retreat to Monan in large numbers, and only about 20,000 elite imperial cavalry were stationed on the southern grassland of Kulun in Mobei. When the cavalry division of the East China Sea State swept through the desert, the first reaction of the imperial court was incredible, and the second reaction was to quickly recover the 20,000 elite cavalry near Kulun, so the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Divisions of the East China Sea State began to clean up the foreign races and the old and weak around the grassland near Kulen and captured the young and strong, cattle, sheep and horses.

The news transmitted back by the cavalry division of the East China Sea State was that it had confronted the elite cavalry of the imperial court for a time, but there was no armed conflict, and it was not until the cavalry of the imperial court withdrew from Mobei that the Third Cavalry Division of the War Department of the East China Sea State completely disengaged from it.

At the beginning of April, news came from Yanshantang of the Intelligence Department that Changwu, the "Northwest General" of the imperial court, once again led more than 100,000 iron cavalry to Mobei; Fu Ning was very worried after receiving the information, because the main task of the East China Sea West Expeditionary Army was to plunder, and more than 100,000 Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Court would inevitably interfere with the plundering operations of the East China Sea West Expeditionary Army, and the possibility of large-scale conflicts between the two sides existed, so Fu Ning immediately ordered the First Field Division and the Second Field Division of the War Department to press towards Shanhaiguan, the purpose was to contain the imperial court border army, and urge the cavalry under the jurisdiction of the imperial court Changwu to withdraw from Mobei and return to the Beijing Division, and at the same time, the Second Fleet of the East China Sea State pressed to Tanggu Port, giving the imperial court the false impression that it was going to land in Tanggu, accelerate the tension of the imperial court, and make sure that Changwu leads the troops to withdraw from Mobei and return to defend the Beijing Division.

For a time, the situation in Shanhaiguan and Tanggu was extremely tense, and the imperial court was really deceived; Emperor Shunhe issued three urgent orders to Changwu, ordering Changwu to immediately withdraw from Mobei and return to defend the Beijing Division!

The 1st and 2nd Field Divisions of the War Department placed a few artillery pieces near Shanhaiguan every three or five times, and the Second Fleet placed a few artillery pieces off the coast of Tanggu every three or five times. The tension between Shanhaiguan and Tanggu caused the trade volume of Tanggu Port to drop to zero in an instant, but the trade between the two countries in Yangzhou and Guangzhou and other places was not affected, so Emperor Shunhe felt very strange while being nervous, and couldn't figure out what the East China Sea wanted to do!

There were sporadic clashes between scouts and scouts between the imperial court and the Donghai Kingdom outside the Shanhai Pass, but the Donghai Kingdom did not attack the Shanhai Pass, and the imperial court did not go out of the Shanhaiguan, so the two sides did not fight. The confrontation between the two sides lasted for more than two months, Changwu led troops to urgently withdraw from Mobei, and brought tens of thousands of elites to Beijing to protect Gyeonggi.

In June, there was still no attack from the Donghai Kingdom, and the court spies in the northwest sent a message to the Beijing Division saying that "the cavalry of the Donghai State advanced to the southwest of Uriya Sutai and rolled up to the grasslands near Altai, capturing countless people, cattle and sheep", at this time Changwu understood that the actions of the Donghai State in Shanhaiguan were to contain the cavalry of the northern frontier under his jurisdiction; But the situation was not as good as the people, so Changwu did not dare to leave Gyeonggi with his troops. The envoys sent by Emperor Shunhe to the East China Sea Kingdom were placed under house arrest in the Lushun Hall by the East China Sea State, and the situation in Shanhaiguan and Tanggu Port continued to be tense, and the cavalry of the East China Sea State rolled towards Altai, so Emperor Shunhe judged that the East China Sea State did not want to attack Gyeonggi or Monan, but what the East China Sea Kingdom was going to do, Emperor Shunhe and Changwu could not judge.

Although he knew that the target of the Donghai State was not Gyeonggi or Monan, Emperor Shunhe still found it difficult to accept the behavior of the Donghai State to control Mobei and Moxi, because once the Donghai State fully controlled Mobei and Moxi, it meant that all the northern parts of the imperial court were within the scope of the Donghai State's attack; Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Monan, Gyeonggi, including Xinjiang controlled by the remnants of the Junggar Army, have all entered the attack range of the East China Sea State, if you count the sea area controlled by the East China Sea State and Annam in the south, then it can be said that the other directions of the imperial court except for the southwest are all controlled by the East China Sea State, which is extremely unbearable for Emperor Shunhe and the court officials!

Changwu and the elite cavalry under his command did not dare to leave Gyeonggi, so the imperial court had to mobilize the battalions of southwest Sichuan into Shaanxi, and the northwest battalions of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu began to assemble in large numbers to Monan, intending to attack Mobei and the East China Sea Western Expeditionary Army to regain control of Mobei; At the beginning, the Ningyuan Mountain Customs defeated not only the Guanning army of the imperial court, but the spirit of the imperial court, because in that war, the 8,000 field soldiers of the Eastern Sea Kingdom defeated the most elite 110,000 Guanning troops of the imperial court, which made the imperial court lose the belief in defeating the Eastern Sea Kingdom, and that was the most terrible thing! Although Changwu now suggested that the cavalry take the initiative to attack Shanhaiguan, Emperor Shunhe did not dare to agree at all, because he was already subconsciously afraid of the East China Sea, although he himself was not aware of it.

The military confrontation at Shanhaiguan was tense and sometimes loose, and it took the imperial court several months to gather two or three hundred thousand troops to press Monan; But when Emperor Shunhe plucked up the courage to prepare to attack Mobei, news came from Monan that the Western Expeditionary Army of the East China Sea Kingdom had retreated! Emperor Shunhe once again felt incredible, strange about the way the army of the East China Sea was marching west! After the imperial cavalry of Monan sent troops to Mobei, they could only watch as the Western Expeditionary Army of the East China Sea Kingdom slowly retreated to Kulun with prisoners, cattle, sheep, horses, and supplies, and then withdrew from Mobei and retreated to Horqin and Hulunbuir!
