Mi Qing and Li Fuan were elected at the same time, and they saw the opportunity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Pan Xun was able to be re-elected last time was because of the sudden Sino-US conflict, which allowed him to get the support of the majority of national elements, but after four years of consumption, this national passion has been worn out.

Although education is a cause that benefits the whole people, it is a water mill work, the cultivation and accumulation of patience is needed, and the centennial tree may be exaggerated, but the centennial tree school is not exaggerated, to build a world-famous school, without a hundred years of accumulation, it is difficult to achieve.

Therefore, China has popularized basic education, but there are only 50 universities, and there are less than 150,000 students enrolled in universities, and among them, the world-renowned universities are really impossible to find, and the best universities are still a few universities established by the Germans in Qingdao, and the best university professors are still university professors hired from Germany, after all, we can't expect a young doctor like Mao Yisheng in his 30s to have the level of a master like Plante, they will have to immerse themselves for at least a few decades, and when they reach their 50s, It is possible to become a master, and it is possible for a number of world-famous universities to emerge in China at that time.

Therefore, this is Pan Xun's weakest time, but the economic prosperity during the ruling period still makes him have a large number of supporters, for example, many economic circles believe that the prosperity of these years is inseparable from Pan Xun's consistent implementation of the policy of reducing expenditures, Pan Xun through disarmament, in the four years of his second term, the number of China's national defense forces was reduced to 1 million, and military spending was reduced to one-third of the peak, and at the same time, through the sale of government assets and land, etc., tens of billions of government debts were repaid. The level of government debt has been reduced to 3 billion taels, which is already on par with the annual fiscal revenue.

The financial revenue of the republic is not much, compared to such a huge country, 3 billion is indeed less, but this is only the central fiscal revenue, and the local government can still receive almost 5 billion taxes every year.

You must know that at the beginning of his tenure, the central government accounted for only one-fifth of the total revenue compared with the local finances, and the central and local governments were basically divided between 28 percent at that time.

Pan Xun through more than a dozen fierce battles in Congress, only to pass a number of fiscal measures, the fiscal distribution ratio increased to the current 3 to 5, the most important thing for a government can only be to collect taxes, can collect taxes is also an important symbol to prove the benign operation of a government, the Ming Dynasty fell because of local delay in taxation, the world's richest country, tax revenue and the same period of the United Kingdom, and Britain at that time was only a silk country, far from the sun never set empire.

At the same time, he can improve his financial strength, which is also a manifestation of the ability of a politician, and Pan Xun is very qualified in this regard.

However, even with Pan Xun's ability, it is not easy to do this, because the current Congress is still the representative of local forces, and it is not surprising that the US Congress is also the representative of local interests, but since it is the representative of local forces, it naturally rejects the policy of reducing local financial strength.

Pan Xun is done in three ways.

The first is to reform the tax system, and through several rounds of voting, a bill was passed to hand over the tax revenue of national enterprises to the central government and leave the tax revenue of local enterprises to the local government.

Pan Xun's reasoning for the members of Congress was that various localities were fighting over taxation, and each country had introduced many competing policies, such as raising the consumption tax on salt, a necessity, and showing a trend of mutual resistance, with Sichuan, which produces salt, tending to pay less taxes, while neighboring Hunan and Hubei tended to collect more salt taxes.

The coal-producing North is unhappy with the heavy taxes imposed by the South on northern coal; The south has complained about the tax rate on tea sales in the northern provinces. Shandong and Northeast China, as well as Shanghai and Guangdong, which also produce steel, are very unfriendly to each other's steel products entering the local area, and have introduced many small measures to restrict them. In order to sell its lychees to the north, Guangdong imposed restrictions on similar products from Nanyang and collected special taxes from Guangdong's transportation companies that specialized in transporting Nanyang lychees.

And so on, there are many lawsuits in various places, and there are endless battles in Congress.

Pan Xun took advantage of this contradiction to pass the bill that all inter-provincial enterprises are under the direct management of the central government.

The passage of this bill has allowed the tax revenues of large enterprises to basically go to the state treasury, thus greatly strengthening the financial resources of the central government.

Of course, the local councillors are not stupid, and it is clear that Shandong, a large enterprise like this, has suffered the most, so it is a resolute opposition, uniting forces in Shanghai, Guangdong, and Northeast China to resist.

However, Pan Xun lobbied a large number of provinces in the west and inland to confront each other.

Contrary to popular impressions, in a unified country, the richer the regions tend to be more supportive, and the poorer the regions, the more supportive the central government.

For example, 80% of Guizhou's basic education funds are basically subsidized by the central government, while Shandong, Shanhai, and Shanhai are all responsible for their own basic education funds.

The second is to increase the proportion of tariffs allocated.

Previously, the tariff distribution ratio had always been 28 cents, which was established by Kang Baohuang in the Qing Dynasty in exchange for local support against Zhang Zhidong.

Pan Xun demanded that the proportion of central distribution be increased to 440%, reaching the level of Cixi's time, and naturally it would still be resisted by Shandong and other major import and export trade provinces, and even Hunan and Hubei stood on the opposite side of him. However, Pan Xun received the support of Shaanxi, Gansu and other northwestern provinces, especially Sichuan, a province with a large population, which was particularly important.

After more fierce quarrels, the tariff distribution ratio was reluctantly raised to 37 kai.

The third step is to add a national compulsory education tax.

After all, in a country with thousands of years of tradition of running education, even if not everyone agrees with the concept that running education is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and if the parliamentarian opposes it, I am afraid that he will be scolded for the eight generations of his ancestors, so the education tax is easily passed.

The mere improvement of government finances is enough to prove that Pan Xun has mastered the Chinese-style political model, and he is indeed the most capable politician at present.

Looking at his competitors.

In recent years, Mi Qing has gone deep into the grassroots in a down-to-earth manner, and has been active among the vast number of workers, she has been in and out of various factory workshops, directly communicating with a large number of workers, listening to their opinions, of course, not really wanting to know what they think, but doing it for the outside world to see, every time she travels, she must let the newspaper follow up and report, after the inspection, say two words of sympathy for the workers, it is easy to cause a praise.

In four years, Mi Qing has covered 60 percent of the factories in the country and controlled 7 percent of the workers, but 3 percent of the workers are still influenced by other organizations, the largest is the organization formed by Mr. Dazhao in Beijing, which is consistent with the Soviet Russian consciousness and believes in the power of the horse religion.

Mi Qing has completely labeled herself as the eldest sister of the workers through the rich and strong trade union, and she is indeed an eldest sister, she has reached the age of 50, and when she goes to the activities among the workers, she deliberately does not wear makeup or dress up, and always shows her gray hair.

Li Fu'an is a completely different way, he has always flaunted the banner of being the orthodox heir of Yang Chao, dressed up his various views as Yang Chao's governing methods back then, and looked for various evidences from history.

Li Fuan's ruling ideology is to continue to promote industrial development, and in contrast to Mi Qing's campaign slogan calling for better workers' salaries, Li Fu'an is ******** in line with the capitalists, even if it is to increase votes, he also proposes to reduce the burden on enterprises to return to workers.

Although Mi Qing received the support of many workers, his campaign funds were always insufficient, while Li Fuan's campaign funds were very amazing, and a large number of capitalists enthusiastically donated to him, and the funds he held in his hands exceeded 10 million.

Therefore, the two also chose different campaign strategies, and Mi Qing worked tirelessly to go to roadshows all over the country to directly convey her ideas to the people. Li Fu'an is less grassroots-oriented, and even if he does roadshows, he mostly goes to some star companies, and his main way of campaigning is through a large number of newspaper advertisements.

Looking at the opponent Pan Xun who the two are bent on defeating, it is no different from before, most of them go to colleges and middle schools, and the students in universities have reached the age of election, they are legitimate voters, and their willingness to vote is also high, even in primary and secondary schools, there are a large number of teachers who are hardcore supporters of Pan Xun.

However, as with the previous election for parliamentarians, Pan Xun likes to be a moth and never takes the usual path.

This time he played a new trick, and he knew better than anyone that he could not be put on the presidency by relying on young people and old masters, and he had to open up a new vote base.

This time, Pan Xun set his sights on the countryside and agriculture, which were squeezed by the cities and industry, and he chose to target the vast number of peasants.

I have to say that Pan Xun once again walked ahead of Mi Qing and Li Fu'an, and saw that the peasant class was the one who benefited the least, suffered the most, and complained the most in recent years, so it was easy to win over and buy the disadvantaged group with the lowest cost.

In the face of these three people, Yang Chao also had some difficulties, Pan Xun was the most mature and capable person, Li Fuan was the most supported by the capitalists of the new school, theoretically speaking, in fact, Li Fuan's concept was the most in line with social development, and Mi Qing enveloped the workers, which was of great significance to the stability of the country.

So who should Yang Chao support, this is a difficult question. (To be continued.) )
