As soon as Hua Guoqiang left, Zhang Wei was about to return to the backyard to see the queen, concubines and children, but he didn't expect Premier Zheng Daoyou to come in a hurry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hearing the report of the service staff, Zhang Wei was very reluctant to let Premier Zheng come to his office.

"Premier Zheng, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The waiter served coffee and left Zhang Wei's office.

"Premier Zheng is in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, right?"

"Your Majesty, it's not urgent, it's more important, and I ask Your Majesty to decide."

"Since Premier Zheng said that it is more important, it is definitely not a trivial matter, let's talk about it and see if I can solve it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the rate of immigration in the empire is very fast now, but the speed of expansion of the empire's territory is even faster, so far, only Java Province has no shortage of population, and other places are trying to immigrate."

Zhang Wei said: "This is a good thing. Nearly 10 million people emigrate from the Chinese Empire every year, which not only solves the needs of the empire for population, but also relieves the population pressure of the Chinese Empire. “

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, but now the price of grain and other agricultural and animal husbandry products in the empire has skyrocketed, coupled with the imperial preferential tax policies for the countryside, compulsory education and half-price medical care, which have greatly increased the income of the peasants, and the expenditure is relatively small; New immigrants are also reluctant to live in the city, preferring to go to the countryside, where they have houses and land, low taxes, and no excessive taxes. Relatively speaking, the income of urban residents is not low, but the expenditure on housing, travel, food and other expenses is greater; These two factors have led to a large number of urban workers quitting their jobs and returning to their farms, and there is a severe shortage of labor in the cities. ”

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "Now that the development momentum of the imperial industry is strong and the sales situation is very good, why don't industrial enterprises increase the wages and benefits of workers?" In this way, more workers will be retained, and people's choice is a natural choice under the conditions of a market economy, and it is difficult for the government to intervene. ”

Zheng Daoyou knew that what Zhang Wei said was reasonable, but now was not the time to be reasonable, so he said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, what we are implementing is a free market economic policy, but the development of the market economy is inseparable from the government's macroeconomic regulation and control, otherwise it will become a flock of free and loose sheep, how can the empire develop?" Moreover, His Majesty has been implementing different macroeconomic controls, such as preferential tax treatment, government procurement, price control, and aid to the United States, all of which fall within the scope of the government's macroeconomic control. ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "You are right, the government has been regulating and controlling, and the purpose of regulation and control is to make the market more orderly and develop in a good way. ”

"Your Majesty, why does the Empire have a dictatorship? The aim is to concentrate the strength of the whole country and focus on solving and developing major issues, and the primary goal of the empire at present is to rapidly develop industry, which can only adopt the strategy of supporting the cities from the countryside, and relying on the reinvestment of the cities alone has already encountered a bottleneck. ”

Zhang Wei understood that Zheng Daoyou meant to make sacrifices for the countryside and peasants to ensure the rapid development of the cities, so he asked, "Will this affect the immigration policy of the empire?" “

Zheng Daoyou replied: "Your Majesty, the conditions within the promise cannot be changed, and stability must be maintained for a period of time, and the conditions outside the promise can be adjusted so that it will not affect the immigrants." “

"Tell me about your specific plan."

"Your Majesty, to put it simply, it is to lower the purchase price of agricultural and animal husbandry products, raise the sales price of industrial products, and strictly control the export price."

Seeing Zhang Wei looking at him and motioning him to continue, Zheng Daoyou began to explain in detail: "Your Majesty, for example, the price of grain, from last year to now, the price of grain has quadrupled, making farmers reluctant to sell, and the market price is even higher, rural people eat the grain and vegetables they grow, the chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs they breed, and even the cloth is woven by themselves, and the clothes and shoes are made by themselves, and the only thing that must be bought from the market is salt, but the price of salt in the empire is very cheap, and the tax, education and medical expenditures are not large, The houses they lived in were also allocated by the empire or built by themselves, so they did not have much expenditure of their own; But food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city have to be spent, and this is a huge disparity. The people who emigrated from the Chinese Empire were all people who couldn't even eat at home, and after they came, it was simply a paradise, even so, as long as they didn't starve to death in the Chinese Empire, they would not immigrate to the Empire, so suppressing the price of food in the Empire to the original price would not affect the life in the countryside and the number of immigrants, but more peasants would go to the cities to do odd jobs instead of being bored in the countryside, which would increase the productivity of the whole society, and the empire could expand its exports. “

Zheng Daoyou's words reminded Zhang Wei of his previous life, when the country concentrated on industry, implemented the difference between workers and peasants, and relied on the efforts of hundreds of millions of farmers to establish a certain economic foundation; When it developed again, the state proposed to let some people get rich first, and hundreds of millions of peasants were reduced to migrant laborers, making outstanding contributions to the rapid development of the country, and the country relied on the huge demographic dividend and scissors to develop rapidly, but their children could not afford to go to school, they were born and old, sick and died without care, there was no pension and medical care, there was no place to stand in the city, they did not enjoy any benefits of the country's prosperity, and only returned to the countryside with a body of pain, and hundreds of millions of peasants were not rich.

And those who become rich spend their days drinking and extravagant, and their moral character begins to deteriorate; The whole society, following the example, has no lowest moral character, only lower; All people look to money, and the amount of money is a sign of a person's success; All people want to get short-term and quick benefits, all kinds of frauds emerge in an endless stream, no one wants to invest in industries with long cycles and slow results, technology investment is seriously insufficient, and the whole country has become a foundry without any development potential; The state has also failed to deliver on its promise that the rich will lead the poor to prosperity.

The second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and the second generation of red are endless.

People who do not have good social relations in their families are unemployed after graduating from college, and education becomes a cash cow.

Artificially create all kinds of barriers to block the rational operation of market laws, and even hospitals have become cornucopias.

All kinds of fake and inferior products flood the market, even melon seeds, pistachios and other small foods dare not eat, even steamed buns, flour, milk do not dare to buy, this has a certain relationship with the implementation of the law, but also reflects the decline of people's morality, there is no bottom line.

He Zhang Wei, in his previous life, was a small person, he couldn't transform society, he was educated by experts, he couldn't change society, he could only change himself.

In this world, if he has certain resources and abilities to change this situation, then he has the responsibility and obligation to work for the welfare of all legitimate citizens, rather than letting some people get rich first.

Human beings are not created equal, however, he must try to provide them with equal living conditions and conditions for ascension.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei said to Zheng Daoyou: "Premier Zheng, all the citizens of the empire are my people, I can't sacrifice the interests of some people to meet the interests of others, for me, they are equally important; I must do my best to be equal, fair, just and reasonable to all lawful citizens; I must introduce policies that treat all legal citizens as equally as possible, or to spur them to be motivated; I will not approve the practice of poor scissors between workers and peasants, so you should talk about other methods. “
