Except for Liang Shuming, no one else noticed this guy's last sentence, and everyone was still thinking deeply, among which Deng Hanxiang thought the most and deepest. He was the first to realize the complexity of the matter, to control all the necessities of life, to buy, transport, sell, just this sales is a big problem, if the state comes forward to sell, it is necessary to establish state-run grain stores, so what about the current private grain stores? Various industries that rely on food, such as winemaking and food processing, are about to face a major reshuffle.

In addition, the issuance of various tickets requires a comprehensive registration of members of society, which also restricts the movement of members of society, and anyone without status cannot survive in this society, which can be said to be difficult to move an inch.

Liu Hangchen played with the cigar in his hand, squinting at Zhuang Jihua, this is the purpose he brought them here, he wants to carry out not only financial control, but social regulation, restricting everyone's life, which will cause big trouble, those dignitaries and influential social elites from Xiajiang in Yucheng will resolutely oppose it, which will make them lose a lot of speculative opportunities; In addition, the landlords and generals in Sichuan Province will also resolutely oppose it, and the income from their land will drop significantly. Liu Hangchen felt that this was a bigger trouble than reducing rent and interest, and if he really had to go to this minefield, he would probably be blown to pieces.

Ma Yinchu, however, was stumped by the viability of this plan, and he was well versed in all kinds of economic theories in the world today, except for the planned economy; Now Zhuang Jihua wants to rashly implement the planned economy, he instinctively realizes that this is a huge challenge, and it is needless to say that if he succeeds, it is very likely to lead to another economic disaster, because once the economy is running, it will continue to run according to its own laws, and its trajectory is difficult to be broken by administrative means, and if the administrative means want to be broken, the retaliation will be more violent.

The establishment of an economic order takes a long time, and some problems will be exposed in its operation, so it is necessary to continue to ensure the policy of surname, and it is unthinkable without the cooperation of the central government.

"Cultural Revolution, your idea is good, but have you thought about it, this policy needs a lot of measures, not only the social part, but also in the economic field alone, and these measures must be supported by the central government." Ma Yinchu frowned deeply and looked at Zhuang Jihua solemnly.

"I understand, so to develop a package that is feasible from all sides, where is the interference back from, where is the difficulty? What are the precautions for problems? Wait, wait. Zhuang Jihua stood in front of the coffee table, as if he saw countless things rushing over, he waved his hand to drive them away from his eyes: "I know there will definitely be a lot of trouble, but the fact is that we don't have a wartime economic policy at present, Kong Xiangxi I can't speak, and for various purposes, some people don't want to have such a policy, so let's make such a plan ourselves." ”

"Cultural Revolution, do you really want to do this, or do you just want to force Kong Xiangxi to put forward his wartime economic plan?" Liu Hangchen's reaction was quick, but apparently he was wrong.

"Of course not," Zhuang Jihua said calmly and resolutely: "The current situation is that if measures are not taken, prices are likely to get out of control, and there are only two ways to control prices, increase supply, or compress consumption, and it is impossible to increase supply for the time being, so we can only compress consumption." ”

Zhuang Jihua stood up as he spoke, and said as he walked around the room, this was his habit, and whenever he was mature in thinking, he walked back and forth in the room like this, giving speeches.

"At present, it is impossible to control prices by completely adopting a market economy, and only by controlling them can we start with the necessities of life."

Liu Hangchen looked at Zhuang Jihua, who was talking endlessly, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "The Cultural Revolution, only our three southwestern provinces will not work, if you want to implement supervision, you must be in the whole country, otherwise smugglers will transport grain to Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi, this is the same." ”

"Since the monopoly is practiced, it is forbidden to buy grain privately, and local political axes at all levels, party departments, the Three Youth Leagues, and reserve officers and men all have the responsibility of supervision, and once discovered, they will be severely punished." Zhuang Jihua did not hesitate.

"But have you ever thought about it, if the big farmers with grain refuse to sell their grain, they have the ability to send grain out of the three southwestern provinces." Liu Hangchen is very familiar with the situation in Sichuan; most of the generals in Sichuan are landlords, and Liu Xiang's family alone covers an area of several thousand hectares; Yang Sen, Deng Xi, Hou Tian, and Songyao are all local big landlords, and most of the officers in their units are also landlords; the reduction of rents and interest rates has already harmed their interests, and if grain is purchased at low prices, their reaction will probably be even stronger than that of rents and interest reductions.

"Brother Hangchen, these are not problems," Zhuang Jihua shook his head indifferently: "This loophole can be plugged through supervision." ”

Liu Hangchen shook his head and sighed: "Things won't be so simple, the Cultural Revolution is probably much more complicated than you think." ”

Zhuang Jihua paused, he looked at Liu Hangchen thoughtfully, and was silent for a while before asking, "Are you referring to the general of the Sichuan Army?" ”

Liu Hangchen and Deng Hanxiang nodded almost at the same time, and Zhuang Jihua sighed: "I can't take care of them this time, besides, most of them are on the front line, they should know the difficulties of the front line and support my decision." The problem now is that you are far from supporting me. ”

Deng Hanxiang and Liu Hangchen looked at Ma Yinchu almost at the same time, hoping that he would persuade Zhuang Jihua not to take this measure.

Ma Yinchu understood that these two people had pinned their hopes on him, and he had been thinking about the feasibility of this strategy, and he still felt inappropriate to weigh it for a long time.

"During the Cultural Revolution, a country's economy was a whole and inseparable, and you wanted to replace the overall economy with a local economy, which is unimaginable, and there is no precedent in economic history." Ma Yinchu's words are very important, and he is obviously concerned about his identity, so his argument only stays at the economic level.

"Mr. Ma, I have also considered this issue," Zhuang Jihua turned to face Ma Yinchu: "Mr. refers to the mature economies of the West, and there may be accidents in China." ”

Ma Yin was about to oppose at the beginning, but Zhuang Jihua stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking: "Please listen to me, after the fall of Shanghai, China will not have an economic center, the local economy has its own reading power, in fact, even if Shanghai has not fallen, China's economy is not a whole, now Yucheng is China's industrial center, the rear, has an important influence, if we succeed here, it is possible to push him to all parts of the country." Mr. Ma, the Western economy is not suitable for China for the time being. ”

Zhuang Jihua seemed very confident, but Ma Yinchu disagreed: "Cultural Revolution, this is not right, you said that China's economy is not as closely connected as the West, I agree with this, but it is by no means unconnected, the Western economy is also suitable for China." ”

Zhuang Jihua turned around in the same place, thought about it, and said: "Mr. Ma, look at the map, if it is implemented in the three southwestern provinces, how much of the area will it occupy in the national control region, and I am confident that he will be pushed to the whole country." ”

Ma Yinchu couldn't help but send out his sharpest sword: "How long will it take to implement this policy?" Can you always be the chairman of Sichuan Province and the director of the Southwest Pacification Office? If you were transferred, would you be dead in name? Have you considered these? ”

This really hit Zhuang Jihua's sore spot, from the bottom of his heart he wanted to go to the front, Chiang Kai-shek transferred him back, although there were many reasons, but none of them were fatal, so his chance to return to the front line is still there, once he leaves, will anyone go to politics, these are fatal.

Zhuang Jihua hesitated, and looked at Liu Hangchen and Deng Hanxiang with complicated eyes: "So I need your support, if there is any accident, you can continue to work." ”

"Cultural Revolution, you overestimate us in New Zealand and Australia," Liu Hangchen said frankly: "I have no interest in the local lord at all, but even if I and Brother Mingjie combined, we can't." ”

Deng Hanxiang saw Zhuang Jihua's eyes turned to him, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Hangchen's words are right, even if the two of us add up, we can't catch up with half of you, Cultural Revolution, you are now supported by the principal, supported by the generals of the Sichuan Army, and you control the two major banks and development companies, and the Sichuan people have many supporters, and even the cousin makes no secret of his support for you, we can't." ”

Deng Hanxiang didn't speak just now, he has been measuring the truth of Zhuang Jihua's words, he has been in the officialdom of the Republic of China for many years, and he has seen all kinds of things, and he has seen a lot of things that are just talking, and after observing for a long time, he came to the conclusion that Zhuang Jihua really wants to do it. However, Deng Hanxiang also knows very well that if Zhuang Jihua really succeeds, it will be very beneficial to improve the current situation of soaring prices, and it can also alleviate the current economic pressure in one fell swoop, so he supports this policy from the bottom of his heart, but his worries are also as Ma Yinchu said, if the thing is done halfway, he can pat his ass and leave, but he Deng Hanxiang still has to live here.

Zhuang Jihua was silent, but at this time, Liang Shuming unexpectedly stood up in support: "Brother Yinchu, everything is man-made, how do you know if you don't do it?" ”

Ma Yinchu looked at the thin Liang Shuming and said, brother, this is not rural construction, you can do it again if you make a mistake, this is not good, and if you are wrong, it will cause chaos.

"I don't understand the economy," Liang Shuming's demeanor was sincere: "But I have heard so much, I know a fact, the current national economy is in trouble, this problem is caused by too much currency issuance, the reason why so many currencies are issued is because the war has led to a sharp increase in military spending, and now there is no way to reduce military spending, and there is no other way to alleviate the current economic predicament, so why not try Chairman Zhuang's method?" ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect to get support from Liang Shuming, he turned around and smiled at Liang Shuming in a friendly manner; Ma Yinchu had to explain: "Brother Liang, things are not so simple, this is a major adjustment involving all levels of the national economy, we must be cautious, once it is implemented, there is no possibility of restarting, even if it is wrong, it must be implemented for a period of time to be corrected, otherwise it will be a major blow to the credibility of the political axe." ”

"So does Chairman Zhuang have any specific measures? If you have one, take it out and let everyone see if it's feasible. Liang Shuming shook the soot on his robe for a long time, cocked Erlang's legs, and a scar on the upper of his shoe was particularly conspicuous.

Ma Yin nodded after thinking about it, and Zhuang Jihua continued: "Okay, I'll just talk about my thoughts." First of all, it was announced that the control of grain cloth and edible oil should be implemented, and the provincial grain bureau should be established, and the following cities and counties should also set up grain bureaus, and each township should set up grain purchasing stations to purchase grain at a unified national price, which is the first step; ”

"Secondly, set up a grain collection team, hire villagers to buy grain from all over the country, and transport all the grain to the designated grain station."

"At the same time, in cities, including townships, grain stores were established to sell grain at a uniform price from the state."

"Third, issue food stamps, oil stamps, and cloth stamps to everyone with a household registration in the province, and stipulate the monthly amount of grain."

"In order to prevent the grain trade from being carried out privately, an anti-smuggling team should be set up throughout the province to check and prohibit the illegal grain trade, and anti-smuggling points should be set up on all major transportation routes, especially those leading to Sichuan, which should be carried out in cooperation with the local garrison and party headquarters. A law is needed to severely punish all those involved in food smuggling, including local officials and military generals. ”

"Cultural Revolution, what if I want to go to a small noodle stall outside to eat a bowl of noodles?" Liu Hangchen's question looks funny, but it is very practical.

"Give the boss as many food stamps and money as you eat." Zhuang Jihua was unequivocal.

"And I'm from the provinces?" Liu Hangchen immediately pressed up.

Zhuang Jihua was speechless for a while, which he didn't expect, Liu Hangchen said again: "Also, the families of some party elders and senior generals, they need to hire people, what about the living expenses of these servants?" How are food stamps issued? ”

"Well, that's really a problem," Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, these measures were originally thought up by him alone, and it is reasonable that there are loopholes.

"This can be solved," Ma Yinchu didn't think it was a big difficulty: "You can provide special supplies to senior officials, such as how much food can be replenished every month for officers at the rank of general and above, and in addition, it can also be like this, in addition to the planned grain, that is, you can buy grain without food stamps, and you must pay three times the price, and the unplanned grain purchase per person per month shall not exceed the amount that the person should buy that month, that is to say, the quota is 40 catties, then the unplanned grain you buy must not exceed 40 catties." ”

"How do you know how much unplanned food this man buys in a month?" Deng Hanxiang asked.

"In this way, in addition to food stamps, each resident is also issued a grain purchase book, which records the amount of unplanned food purchased each month." Zhuang Jihua immediately thought of a way, he had heard from his grandparents about buying grain, but he didn't know what his role was.

Even Liu Hangchen didn't say anything anymore, but he and Deng Hanxiang were still worried, they were completely unsure about the implementation of this policy, and Ma Yinchu's eyes were also full of worry, and it could be seen that their confidence was seriously insufficient.

This is not the Southwest Development Team, in the Southwest Development Team, as long as Zhuang Jihua decides, everyone will work together and follow him to do things well. But now Zhuang Jihua must first convince them before he can pursue his policies.

Looking at their appearance, Zhuang Jihua decided to cheer them up: "There are many factors that determine the victory or defeat of the war, among which economic factors occupy a very important position; We still have a long way to go before we win the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. All our work now revolves around how to win the war. ”

Seeing that their interest was still not high, Zhuang Jihua decided to take another step: "In this way, the control of the economy will start with grain, and the materials such as edible oil, salt, and cloth will be left alone for the time being, and lessons will be learned from grain control." ”

"I hope you support me."

"What do you want us to do?" Deng Hanxiang raised his head and asked.

"I hope you can draw up a detailed plan, including the steps in the preparation and execution phase, as detailed as possible, and have an emergency filing of how to deal with accidents in the event of an accident. Tomorrow Mei Yuntian will come from Yucheng, and I hope that the four of you will put aside the influence of all external factors during this time and spend half a month to a month to formulate a grain policy. ”

Deng Hanxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded, Ma Yinchu also nodded in agreement, but Liu Hangchen said: "Cultural Revolution, it's not that I don't agree, I am also the president of the Bank of Sichuan, and I have a lot of things to deal with." ”

Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly, and said lukewarmly: "Brother Hangchen, if there is anything, let them send someone to report it, besides, Shaoqing, Mingjie, and Mr. Ma are also in trouble." ”

Liu Hangchen knew that if he refused again, Zhuang Jihua might have to look at him differently in the future, so he also agreed. At this time, Liang Shuming raised a question.

"During the Cultural Revolution, when I was in Dingxian, I found that farmers were very concerned about the harvest, if they found that the harvest of grain was not high, would this affect their active surname of growing grain, and the grain was cheap and hurt the peasants, this kind of thing has happened in all dynasties." Liang Shuming pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked solemnly.

Zhuang Jihua's expression was stunned, he thought for a while and said: "Then force to grow grain, no grain is unstable, there is only this way." After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, and smiled slyly at Ma Yinchu: "As for how to force it, this question will be left to you." ”

"Half a month later, give me the draft plan." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, as if he remembered something, he turned to Ma Yinchu and said: "Mr. Ma, I want to ask you to serve as the economic adviser of Sichuan Provincial Political Axe, with 400 yuan per month, what do you think?" ”

"Forget about the fiat currency, the salary of the national political axe is not low." Ma Yinchu said lightly, there is no lack of irony in it, this political officer is actually a decoration, Chiang Kai-shek with a high salary to raise the window display.

"Cultural Revolution, don't hurry up yet, I still have an idea," Ma Yinchu stopped Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua stopped and looked back at him.

"Let's see if we can build a stock exchange in Chengdu to build a platform for corporate financing." Ma Yinchu looked at Zhuang Jihua expectantly.

This is what Zhuang Jihua didn't expect at all, he hesitated, the function of the stock exchange is very powerful, but the danger is also powerful, don't you want to say, those listed companies, just say that the listing conditions are a big problem, how did China go public in the previous life? How the global financial crisis was created is a real double-edged sword, and at this stage, once it goes wrong, it will be doomed.
