Chapter 514: Running to the Well-off (Part II)

It is no wonder that now China not only accounts for more than half of the world's grain production, but also more than half of the world's livestock slaughter (the proportion of feed grain in grain production has been greatly increased), chickens and ducks and other poultry account for a higher proportion, as for aquatic products, the entire Pacific Ocean is China's fishing grounds, and China's total tonnage of fishing boats has accounted for more than one-third of the world's, is there still not enough to eat?

The supply of animal food is so abundant, resulting in the inevitable horizontal development of the Chinese body size, fortunately, the national fitness movement has developed in depth, and the concept of reasonable diet has been increasingly accepted by the people of the country with the implementation of the "National Nutrition Regulations", so the speed is not as exaggerated as in the early 21st century.

However, even so, the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China has also begun to take precautions and introduced a series of guiding policies to increase the proportion of healthier beef, mutton and rabbit meat in the supply of "red meat" food, but the result is that "the dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not know the good people's hearts." It has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the people who are accustomed to eating pork in China......

In the first five-year plan, heavy industry is no longer the focus of development, but the growth rate of China's heavy industry is still higher than that of the Western powers, which has long been the world's first building materials industry is in the first place, further, in 1913 China's total cement output is likely to break through the 100 million tons mark for the first time, which almost reached three-quarters of the world!

It was precisely because of the extremely high production of cement that Li Hui had dared to limit the development of brick and tile factories in the previous years (except for bricks and refractories produced from industrial waste such as slag), intending to make a direct transition to reinforced concrete residential buildings in one step. This is to reduce the damage to the cultivated land, and secondly, after the successful test of the floor slab pouring technology, the construction speed of the steel-concrete building is not comparable to the brick house, which can greatly reduce the waste.

It's just that the demand for infrastructure was greater, and China's urban residents had to endure a few more years of living in a snail's house, but the purpose of the first five-year plan was to let the people enjoy the fruits of economic development, and naturally it was impossible to do that again, and in 1913 alone, it was expected that more than 1 million residential buildings would be built, which could accommodate nearly 9 million families, and they were basically large sets, and a family of five would not feel crowded to live in. And it's important to note that all of these homes are free!

Of course, such free housing can only be allocated to those who work in the public service sector or state-owned enterprises and institutions, and with other welfare policies such as free medical care, state-owned enterprises in this time and space have become the first choice for young people to find employment, as in later generations.

However, it is also a state-owned enterprise, Li Hui naturally learned the lessons of history, and strictly guarded against eating a big pot of rice in advance, even if it is a planned 6-hour work system a day, it is at least not lower than the previous work intensity as the premise, Datongism is not a white left, lazy people are absolutely not raised, coupled with the irregular review of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is enough for the vast majority of people to work honestly and seriously, although this is still not enough to completely eradicate the bureaucratic problem, But at least it can guarantee that the good momentum of rapid progress will continue on the whole.

In addition, the strong scale effect brought by the terrifying size of those super state-owned enterprises and their own technological advantages (one is the high starting point brought by system technology, the second is that Li Hui, a traverser, has guided the right direction, and the third is that China has attached great importance to science and education in recent years, not only the number of scientific research personnel has increased rapidly, but the enthusiasm of their work is also incomparable. Not to mention the private enterprises that have not yet formed the climate in China, even those leading Western enterprises that are well-known in the world, in the market of bulk materials, can only survive by relying on the trade protection of Western powers.

However, the problem of rigid and rigid operation of state-owned enterprises still cannot be solved, but Li Hui did not expect this problem to be solved, what is the purpose of allowing private enterprises to exist and develop? Isn't it just to make up for the inherent shortcomings of the state-run economy? Since the labor productivity of small enterprises is far less than that of large SOEs, and the laws of the Chinese Republic restrict excessive exploitation (so that there are more small bosses imprisoned and executed than corrupt officials), there is room for survival only in the market segments that large SOEs have neglected.

Speaking of which, the first batch of private enterprises in the Republic of China has almost all died, because at that time, most of the Chinese people did not even know what industry was, and it was strange that entrepreneurship could succeed; The second batch of private enterprises is also very little left, in the commodity market that does not require special vision, the competitiveness of super state-owned enterprises is unparalleled, private enterprises either quickly bankrupt or take risks to operate illegally, and then are banned by the law enforcement agencies that are still very efficient, even those with back-ends, and even they are ruined with their own back-ends......

After these two batches of brutal elimination, a number of private enterprises that met Li Hui's expectations finally emerged in China, and the founders of these enterprises were mostly young, so they were more imaginative and aggressive, and gradually made up for the innate lack of vitality of China's economy, which was dominated by state-owned enterprises. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese people's lives have not only been satisfied in terms of "quantity", but also in terms of "quality", and have begun to improve rapidly, and they are getting closer and closer to the goal of "being well-off".

In fact, because the income gap between Chinese is much smaller than that of Westerners, the living standards of ordinary wage earners in China are no less than those in Europe and the United States. Although there is still a large gap between the per capita national income, if we compare the "median income" that can better reflect the living standards of ordinary people, then the Chinese Republic has actually reached the middle level of the Western powers, if not as good as the old countries such as Britain and Germany, at least stronger than countries like Spain.

It's just that even so, there is still a distance from the standard of "well-off" in Li Hui's mind, well, the same is true in the West, 1913 is just the eve of World War I in history, and ordinary people in the West at this time are actually quite hard in their daily lives, at least Li Hui, a traverser, sees it this way......

However, even if it is not reached now, no one can deny that China is taking firm steps towards moderate prosperity, and as long as the first five-year plan can finally be successfully completed, the "median income" of the Chinese Republic will surpass that of almost all other countries in the world, and the goal of "initial moderate prosperity" will be almost achieved......
