"Up to now, there is no problem with the local finances only disbursing in cash, but the finances are not balanced, and the entire economic structure is completely unbalanced." Qin Wu'an was rarely excited, and this time his voice was rare and loud, and his face was also a little red because of anxiety.

"Did you notice?" Chen Ke looked appreciative and gratified.

Qin Wu'an didn't understand where Chen Ke's self-confidence came from, "The base area is now completely eating grain, and if there is no import and export, the entire finance will collapse." We are now standing on the edge of the cliff, with one foot in the air, and once the foreign trade cannot keep up, we will immediately fall. ”

Breaking even is a very easy thing to understand, how much you earn, how much you spend. You don't even need to learn arithmetic to understand this idea. This is the view of people or groups who do not have the ability to issue money and must rely on the operation of other monetary systems to participate in society. For a political entity like the BJP, which is responsible for issuing money, the balance of payments is only a means by which they need to "create" the running state. Not only can we actually achieve "balance of payments", but we can even forge "imbalance" into balance.

Before becoming the Minister of Finance, Qin Wuan had only learned these knowledge in the party class and cadre training school, and at that time he still felt that these things were in the clouds, until he became the Minister of Finance himself, Qin Wuan really saw the imbalance of the People's Party's economy.

To take a simple example, the base has invested heavily in the steel industry, spending a lot of financial and material resources. If we look at the direct feeling of "balance of payments" of ordinary people, it should be normal for input to have output. Actually, it's not like that at all.

If you look at the report, since the establishment of the first iron-smelting furnace in the base area, the growth of steel output is not a smooth curve, but a step-by-step growth model. The output of the steel plant that has been built is designed, and the effort to achieve it from the first day of construction is to reach the designed output as soon as possible. After the design yield is really completed, what is needed is to maintain this output. If you want to increase steel production, you have to continue to build steel plants and increase blast furnaces and open hearths. Therefore, for steel mills, "not completing production tasks" is the norm, and as for increasing production, unless you get higher quality ore, it is not a completely wrong understanding to keep the number of blast furnaces in front of you the same.

The problem is that before seeing this fact with their own eyes, the vast majority of comrades in the People's Party, except for Chen Ke, had a wrong understanding. Even after listening to the lessons on this aspect in class, the comrades were not sloppy when it was time to make a mistake.

If you want to expand your production capacity, you can only rely on additional investment and equipment. If you want to maintain production capacity, you also need to invest more. Equipment is going to wear out, and later maintenance is also a gold-swallowing tiger. The investment in maintenance may be more expensive than buying new equipment outright.

This is not even a big deal, there will be many problems that have never been seen before in the operation of the equipment, and if you want to solve the problems, you need to invest a lot of money in scientific research. Qin Wuan finally understood why Chen Ke attached so much importance to compulsory education. From the country's point of view, rather than focusing on training, one radish and one pit, on the contrary, the large-scale implementation of compulsory education is more efficient and effective.

Compulsory education also requires money, and teachers are also human beings, so it is impossible to face the northwest three times in the morning, noon and evening, open their mouths wide, and maintain their lives by chanting the mantra "Blow, blow to your heart's content". Teachers' salaries, school construction, purchase of educational equipment. You have to pay for it. For example, under Qin Wu'an's hundreds of novices who were proficient in abacus, the Ministry of Finance selected those they were satisfied with from tens of thousands of junior high school graduates, and those who failed the abacus examination were not hired at all. The problem is that the Ministry of Finance has paid a huge amount of money for the addition of abacus to the schools in the base area. If you hire a killer, you can kill these hundreds of people dozens of times......

"Chairman Chen, the base is now completely dependent on cash flow to sustain operations. If there is a slight problem in foreign trade, and any impact on cash flow will be a big deal if we put it in our base. Investing in Guangdong requires a huge investment in the early stage, and we can't afford to pay this money. Qin Wuan explained his opinion.

Chen Ke didn't answer Qin Wu'an's question immediately, he was full of joy in his heart. If Qin Wuan is treated by the standard of a qualified finance minister, at least Qin Wuan is not qualified now. If we look at the comrades in front of us from a progressive perspective, Qin Wuan's understanding of society and the world is by no means comparable to ordinary people in terms of depth and breadth. To put it more coldly, Qin Wuan already has the qualities of the ruling class, he has been able to see part of the truth, and dare to look at these truths directly.

"Minister Qin, why aren't you scared at all?" Chen Ke asked a digression.

Qin Wuan was not frightened by this small trap, he replied seriously: "The precious metal reserves in our base area are okay, even if the financial imbalance, there will be no run on the current issuance of RMB and commodity supply." ”

Chen Ke nodded, "From an economic point of view, whether it is a socialist system or a capitalist system, as long as it is an industrialized political system, the economy is a credit economy and a confidence economy. The European and American powers have been robbing the world for hundreds of years, and they have accumulated this gold and silver as a pillar of confidence. Economically, we need more confidence and credibility than they do. In this regard, we can see very clearly from the development process of our base areas. The people believe in us, and if there is no trust from the people, if there is no support built on this trust, we are nothing. ”

Qin Wu listened quietly, Chen Ke generally had two faces, and the one he saw the longest was the face full of vitality and the face of the revolutionary leader. At that time, Chen Ke was full of enthusiasm and gave people a considerable charisma. It gives people the confidence that they can overcome all hardships and hardships. It was a strong feeling of equality and progress.

When it comes to fundamental issues at the executive level, this grim face that is now very calm, talking about facts and truth without personal emotion, will be revealed. At this time, Chen Ke looked down on the world from a condescending perspective and pointed out the truth under the surface of this world. Which face is Chen Ke's true face, Qin Wu'an doesn't know very well.

"Minister Qin, in your opinion, do you have confidence in a growing child, or in an old man who is dying and has no external power at all?"

"Definitely have faith in someone who has a future." Qin Wuan replied.

"So, we need a bigger layout. Even if these layouts bring a greater economic burden, as long as others are unable to attack this weakness in the base area, then this weakness does not exist. As long as everyone believes that there is no such problem in the base areas now, then this problem will not erupt for the time being. That's a fact. ”

"If this problem doesn't break out, it doesn't mean that this problem doesn't exist......" Qin Wu'an was very puzzled by Chen Ke's confidence.

"So we have to move forward and want to solve the problem, not just stop here and solve the problem. It is precisely because of this stage that such problems arise. If we had just arrived at the base area and there was a flood, it would not have been possible to have the current imbalance problem. But does that mean our economy is healthy? Not really. At that time, life could not go on. The current financial imbalance is that our industrial development is not enough, and everyone spends their hard-earned money on these infrastructures. It is not only the basic water conservancy of agriculture, but also the construction of industry, education, and the improvement of social organization. It's all this money invested, you see, oh! There's a problem on the books. If everyone stops here and doesn't move, then not only will this problem not be solved, but the problem will get bigger and bigger. To solve this problem, we have to move on. Moving forward, it is uncertain whether the current problems can be solved, but new problems will arise soon. This is true for economic development, and it is also true for social development. The problem is always there. There will never be such a thing as a one-and-done one. ”

To Qin Wu'an's ears, what Chen Ke said almost rose to the level of philosophy. It's not that he doesn't understand this, it's not that he can't accept this statement, but Qin Wuan found that he wasn't really mentally prepared to face problems forever. "Where do you go?" He seemed to be asking Chen Ke, and he was also asking himself.

"When we die, that's the end. So don't be afraid of death, it's so hard to live, and it's a hundred times when you die. Lay down on the ground, and the world went. In my opinion, it's actually quite comfortable to die, and I don't have to worry about how to live anymore. Chen Ke said with a smile.

After hearing this, Qin Wuan first smiled bitterly, and then couldn't help laughing, and finally stopped laughing, Qin Wuan touched the tears that came out of laughter, "Chairman Chen, looking at the situation in front of you, this is indeed the case." To live is to carry so many responsibilities, and to be afraid every day. I'm really dead, I don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Chen Ke was very satisfied with Qin Wu'an's performance, if he wasn't a sincere person, he would be afraid of death. In fact, looking at the world from the perspective of a person in charge, there are too many things that are "better than death". For these backbone people, death is not terrible. "Minister Qin, since we are carrying out the revolution with our heads, as members of the People's Party, we have an obligation to China as a country, and we have an obligation to the revolution. That's what I've always seen, so no matter how hard it is, we have to persevere. Don't be afraid, there's no hurdle you can't get over. ”

Qin Wuan nodded seriously, he was one of the first comrades to follow Chen Ke, the rise of the People's Party is simply a fantastic result, and the construction of this fantastic result is not to think, but to do. It was precisely because of his personal participation in this process that Qin Wuan knew better that the success of the People's Party was entirely the result of the comrades who had done every link of success. It has nothing to do with what you think.

"I'll compile this financial statement when I get back." Qin Wuan put away his smile and said very seriously.

"Okay." Chen Ke replied calmly.

"......, Chairman Chen, I am now throwing myself into the five bodies that you admire. I'd like to ask, new questions, not to mention, how long it will take us to solve the matter at hand, as far as you can see. ”

Chen Ke thought about it very seriously, "The new problem is definitely more tricky. Yours are mentally prepared. The problem at hand, as long as there is no major mistake in three years, it will take about five years. ”

Although I don't know how Chen Ke calculated this five-year period, and the five-year period really can't make Qin Wuan feel relaxed. It's just that being able to get Chen Ke's such a clear statement, Qin Wuan feels much better in his heart.
