Chapter 81: The economy is in charge
Li Yu doesn't care what others think, the number one priority at this stage is to absorb the results of the war as soon as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The census and population statistics have become the biggest problem, after all, there is no way to shoot and produce ID cards one after another, as before. Immediately shooting and the corresponding photo paper is still a black technology, at least Lin Ming can't invent it.
Or rather, he didn't even know how it worked. As for Li Yu, it is even more needless to say.
There are not too many Han people in the south, there will always be nearly 10 million, plus there are millions of people in Baiyue, this is nearly 20 million people, plus the population increasing every year, if all of them are registered, I don't know how long it will take.
Li Yu had no choice but to summon Yuan Lian, Xun Yan and Cheng Yu and other ministers over and ask them how to deal with this matter. Knowing that the number of photos and the amount of photographic paper may not be able to meet the supply, everyone couldn't help but ponder.
"How many of those machines called 'Stand-Up' can be provided in the future?" Cheng Yu was the first to ask.
"Three units a month, but in the end we may only be able to provide more than 5,000 units!" Li Yu replied seriously, 5,000 units is already the limit, and this is the result of the recent progress in scientific research achievements, otherwise the monthly space maintenance fee is a huge amount of money.
"This simply does not meet the needs of the present stage, even in the future. For now, we can only use the ID card and the road guide together, but fortunately, we have better paper to make the road guide or household registration book.
However, it is better not to open secret factories, laboratories or military camps in areas that have just been liberated. Even if it is set up, workers with ID cards should be recruited, and those who do not have ID cards should not be allowed to approach. Cheng Yu gave a compromise solution, and Yuan Jian and Xun Yan also said that this method was feasible.
It should be said that there is no better way to do it at this stage.
Just some time ago, in order to cooperate with the Licco and reduce the import of paper, the paper research laboratory has worked overtime to study the production process of coated paper. The output is not high, but there is always a way to increase it, and even the price has to be cut by more than 30%.
However, with the advent of this thing, even if the resident ID card does not have a photo, as long as it is stamped with the seal of the local government and stipulates that the alteration is invalid or something, then many problems can always be avoided. In addition, with the use of the household registration book, it is stipulated that the use of ID cards by others will be severely punished, which can somewhat block many problems.
As for the places that can't be blocked, we can only find other ways to deal with them, for example, as Cheng Yu said, high-level research institutes and factories, and even military camps, don't let irrelevant people approach, and at the same time only recruit people with ID cards to work.
Recently, three more construction companies have been opened in the Huaxia Republic, all of which are state-controlled enterprises. Together with the original one, it was named 'One Building', 'Two Construction', 'Three Construction' and 'Four Construction'. The construction workers were partly from the captured local garrison and partly recruited workers.
During the war, in order to resist the captured enemy, they had to serve three years of hard labor for ideological reform, which was called 'labor reform'. During this period, meals are naturally provided, and even a meager salary is paid every month. Rao is like this, after knowing his treatment and type of work, those labor prisoners can actually shout Li Yu's 'benevolence', which makes him a little unable to laugh......
According to the plan, two railways will be started, and a cross-city national highway will be planned and constructed. From Yuzhang County through Danyang County, through Wu County and Huiji County, and finally back to Yuzhang County in a circle, forming a ring road, and communicating the connection of the four counties at the same time.
At the same time, two passages should be built on the Wuyi Mountain, leading to Yuzhang County and Huiji County respectively.
"Can you still get in touch with Yang or Li at the moment?" Li Yu looked at Lin Ming, this time he was listening as before.
"It's not a problem to get in touch, but the two of them have been severely suppressed by Dong Zhuo, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to help us. Not to mention that there are Liu Wei and the Republic of Dahan in the middle. Lin Ming shook his head.
Earlier, under the impetus of Yang Lang, the two began to develop towards a monopoly economy. The Yang family mainly developed cotton cultivation and textile processing industries, while the Li family developed animal husbandry.
After the establishment of the republic, the two families quickly monopolized the cotton and animal husbandry in other provinces by virtue of their original heritage, and suppressed those retail households, and in one month, they monopolized the cotton spinning and animal husbandry in the Central Plains.
It can be said that almost all the cotton cloth currently bought by the Central Plains people is produced by Yang; The mutton and pork, even beef or chicken, duck and goose meat, almost all come from the Li family in Longxi.
"It's good that they still have industry in the Central Plains, but if they can't do it on the surface, let them help privately and help us build a smuggling channel." It's not just good for them, it's good for us. Not to mention that everyone is compatriots, maybe there are disputes about different positions, and business contacts should not be turned away because of hostility! Li Yu proposed.
"I'll send someone to contact them, but I don't know how effective it will be." Lin Ming nodded and replied.
"They will agree, as long as they are qualified capitalists, they will not refuse the benefits sent to the door! In the past, the so-called farming heirloom was, in the final analysis, a product of the grain-based era. Food prices remain high, which allows them to reap sufficient profits only by relying on the output of their land. But now that the price of grain is too low, it is not worth much to continue farming, and they have to tear off that layer of camouflage and obediently go to business to make money. In this new era of economic leadership, that group of capitalists is still in the most primitive state, basically as long as they can make money, they have to jump over and take a bite! Li Yu said with a smile.
This was a bit rude, but there was nothing anyone present could refute. In fact, just as Li Yu said, their income here in the Special Economic Zone is definitely not contracted land. Perhaps, there are mainly cash crops to obtain profits, but mainly rely on various workshops and laboratories.
Especially in the research laboratory, Li Yu attaches great importance to copyright and patents, and his determination to fight piracy and maintain patents is also very great. Therefore, as long as a new technology is researched and can be patented, then the family can earn at least ten or twenty years. Even some things that can be used as unique technology, it is said that Li Yu has them, and he has never applied for patents, and he is not afraid that others will imitate them, such as the artifact of Li Kepai.
As Li Yu said, it is now the era of being in charge, and he despised businessmen in the past, but now he can't say that. On the one hand, he despises businessmen, and on the other hand, he also has people who are in business, so if he spreads it, won't he lose face?
As for the big landlords who keep their traditions and just farm the land and do not open shops, they will at most be reduced to suppliers of raw materials, and they will inevitably be suppressed by the capitalists who will unite and suppress them. In other words, in this day and age, if you don't change your thinking, you are doomed to be eliminated by this era.
"Well, I'll use this as a prerequisite and send someone to communicate with them. To be honest, we do lack enough raw materials, and a lot of things have to be imported. But now I am more worried about how to deal with the monopoly of the cotton spinning industry by the Yang family, and then fight a price war with us? How do they deal with expanding production, driving down the price of cotton cloth, and then dumping it all at us? Of course, other industries may have this problem! Lin Ming asked.
This is not unfounded, but it is now beginning to be a harbinger.
"The south is not very suitable for growing cotton, and it would be nice to be able to import cotton cloth from them. The cotton produced in the north is better than the south in terms of yield and quality, and there are some things that we can't force.
If you want to protect the local cotton spinning industry, you can only start from two aspects: give certain tax and policy preferences to local cotton spinning enterprises to reduce their textile costs in this regard; On the one hand, let them take the Seiko route, abandon the cheap cotton market, and turn to the boutique route, the brand route. To put it simply, it is to raise the price and sell it to the rich. This requires the cotton cloth to feel more delicate and soft, and the technical requirements are also very high.
Fortunately, we have completed this part of the technical accumulation, but we just took it out in advance! Li Yu said with a smile, he had expected that day would come, so he had made preparations early.
Cotton spinning began four years ago, but the in-depth study of cotton spinning is also being carried out at the same time. At that time, Lin Ming was actually suspicious of this part of the research, mainly because he felt that it was too urgent and unnecessary, and it seemed that there was no difference if the cotton cloth was made so well.
It wasn't until Li Yu put forward the concept of high-end routes and brands that he realized that Li Yu had already started the layout four years ago, and obviously expected the arrival of this day.
The point is, as he said, that the South is not suitable for growing cotton. He compared the yield of cotton fields on both sides, the main thing in the north is that the planting technology is not good, and the fertility cannot keep up, so the yield is average, but it is also very close to the south.
The south has improved the planting technology and fertilization technology, but it is limited by the serious insect pests, and there are many wild beasts infesting and destroying the cotton fields, coupled with the problem of water and soil, the innate yield is limited, which makes the cotton yield in the south no different from the north. But if the north improves its technology, then the quality and yield of cotton surpass that of the south, and it will not be a problem!
As for animal husbandry or other industries, not to mention, the South has the advantages of the South, and the North also has the advantages of the North. The mountainous and forested nature of the south is the biggest congenital defect, and some things are indeed undemanding.
"The same is true for the import of meat?" Lin Ming asked.
"There are many wild beasts in the south, and there are many pests that need to be eliminated every year, which is enough to provide a supply of meat. This part of the import can be reduced, the key is to ensure the quality, sick or dead meat must not come to our south. After controlling the quality problem, then how much can be consumed in the southern market, let the people decide, we only need to monitor and grasp it on the side, and do not need to intervene too much. Li Yu said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Lin Ming nodded and got up to leave.
"The Führer is very knowledgeable, I admire him!" Yuan Jian and the others didn't know what to say, so they could only flatter, in fact, they didn't tell the helplessness in their hearts.
When it comes to governing the locality, or legislating, or even farming, they know it, and they are even good at it. But when it comes to economics or something, I haven't been exposed to it before, or I haven't had much contact with it, so I don't know what to do at all.
"Everyone has their own areas of expertise, if a person can do everything, if he has to do everything, then he is not tired to death? Economic information will be provided to you later. Without affecting your own work, you know a little that your position is also very important, please worry about it in the future! Li Yu bowed solemnly.
"The Führer doesn't need to be like this, it's my duty!" Everyone also replied one after another. In the end, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were really worried that because they didn't understand the economy, they would gradually be eliminated in the future. However, this is also a wake-up call for them, and after getting the information, it's time to study hard. (To be continued.) )
