Chapter 130 Conclusion of Customs and Trade

Guo Jia was busy, Liu Feng walked in, Guo Jia was busy beckoning Liu Feng into the office.

Looking at the newly built office, Liu Feng sighed, it seems that the impact of this is very fast, and a small western-style building has been established here.

That's okay at this speed!

"Prime Minister, is there anything you are looking for?"

"This is my newly purchased equipment manual, the specific instruction manual is here, arrange for the training unit, distribute it, simulate the training, and then notify the quartermaster department to transport the equipment to the barracks, hand it over to these trainees participating in the training, and then integrate it into the three services!"

"My subordinates understand!"

"How many musketeers do we have now!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"Excellent! Those things, you wait to go to the quartermaster office to get them! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Liu Feng turned around and walked to the quartermaster office, handing over all the 400 rocket launchers and 500 light machine guns he had exchanged for to the quartermaster office, and handing over the light machine gun bullets and bazooka bullets to the quartermaster office.

In this way, he not only has a 50,000 musket army, but also a bazooka unit and a light machine gun unit, so that the trinity can be realized, and the combat mode suitable for the distance and distance can be realized.

After getting this done, Liu Feng went to the Han Imperial Assembly to convene a special meeting, which aimed to speed up the control of the economy by quickly developing his ideas and integrating into the vassal states as soon as possible.

Liu Feng wrote all his ideas into a report, and made hundreds of copies and distributed them.

The hall of the council is full of talents, all of them are old officials, they have been working hard for the Han Empire for several years, and they have no objections to Liu Feng's suggestions and ideas.

It's just that there is controversy about how exactly this should be done.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! This year, we issued nearly 15 trillion yuan of banknotes, the treasury balance of 3 trillion, next year there are still Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places of the landlord resettlement costs, it is estimated that next year's gap will continue to widen, the idea of opening a bank, I think it is feasible! ”

"Well, the officials of the finance minister mainly supervise the opening of banks, and when banks are established in various places, the interest rate will be set at 10% first!"

"My subordinates understand! Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Isn't this interest rate too high! ”

"It's not high, if you have a deposit of 20 trillion a year, it will be an interest rate of 2 trillion per year! Is this still high? ”

"In addition, inform the Minister of Propaganda to hand over the affairs of the bank to the vassal states as soon as possible, and discuss how to establish a banking system within the vassal states!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Liu Feng listened to the opinion of the Minister of Agriculture, and Liu Feng refused whether to change the land to grow grapes, cotton, rape and other cash crops.

This is not a change to a standard measured by the market, but a manifestation of self-destruction of the Great Wall, which is the basis for their own survival, and the annual exchange of Yuanzi electricity depends on these grains, and there are also cases where the exchange channels opened up by coal mines and other industries have not been fully realized, so they have to sort out the production of grain in advance.

Increase the protection of basic farmland, and promote seeders, harvesters, etc.

The research of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the vassal states has not yet been in the stage of large-scale production, and it is completely possible to take advantage of this gap to drive these guys out of the market, and then collect their talents for their own use, Liu Feng thought far ahead.

Foreign Minister Tang Ji asked: "Prime Minister, how to negotiate tariffs and other matters with the various vassal states!" These people are not easy to do! ”

"Money diplomacy offensive! Bought off the important members of the princes' parliaments in various places, and then sat back and waited for them to convene the parliament, and then it could be realized, this is a ghost scheme, I will give you a document for specific things, and send people to follow the above operation! ”

Liu Feng said a lot of the purpose is to use everything for me, if you don't agree, then hit, hit them, the capitalists will be anxious, and if they are in a hurry, they will put pressure on the congress where they are located, so as to effectively restrain these people and achieve their own goals.

Basically, three directions have been determined: First, the basic farmland will continue to plant the seeds and fertilizers provided by Liu Feng, and the work of seeders and harvesters will be promoted.

The second is to use diplomacy to force these people to submit and sign agreements to open up all joints in the world of capital and achieve the goal of making money.

The third is that the idea of the bank controlling everything is like a madweed in Liu Feng's mind.

After several months of unremitting efforts, the various vassal states were very interested in Liu Feng's proposal, even if it was a hostile force, because it was only a loose agreement on economic exchanges, but it was a good way to push their own products out.

Now the industries of various countries are intersecting, in various fields, except for the steam train, which can only be manufactured by the Li family of the Han Empire, that is, the Jasmine family, it is difficult for others to do it, and the Li family has recruited a large number of people to study this means of transportation after years of accumulation.

In this system upgrade, the Li family's train saved a little face for Liu Feng, although it was produced by the Li family, but after all, it belonged to the Han Empire.

The three important talents of the Li family, Liu En, Liu Wei, and Sun En, were all recruited by the Li family, and the other three were also the main honorary experts hired by the Han Empire to train talents in trains.

Liu Feng looked at the treasury budget and banged on the table, the annual budget in terms of official expenditure is 1 trillion Han yuan, and the income is mainly supermarkets, papermaking, light textiles, etc., which can earn nearly 2 trillion yuan a year, and it is completely possible to use these excess funds to repair the railways in various places.

As for the compensation of the paper money issued, it was settled by the Central Bank of the Han Empire, and it had nothing to do with the treasury, so it did not come out of the treasury.

The cost of one kilometer of these train tracks is 100 million Han dollars, and 1 trillion can be 10,000 kilometers of train routes, so that they can basically ensure their own internal transportation, and large supermarkets can also take a ride, so that there is no need to worry about transportation problems.

The next step is to build roads and bridges, so that the demand for transportation can be realized as soon as possible, as the industrial revolution unfolds, there will definitely be a large number of cars pouring into the streets, and it is difficult to support without suitable roads.

Liu Feng looked at the map and focused on drawing several train routes, the first of which was the Luoyang-Qiaocheng-Yangzhou train track.

The second line of Runan - Yingzhou - Qiaocheng - Xuzhou - Yuzhou Island in the East China Sea.

The third line, Luoyang - Chenliu - Beihai - Penglai.

The fourth road is Qiaocheng - Shanyang - Licheng - Beihai - East Penglai

In this way, it will be very good to reach the full fiefdom, as for the locomotive and freight boxes, wait for Li Yuanwai to continue processing, let's talk about it, and build the road first.

10,000 miles a year, waiting for all four lines to be completed, and then contacting the train lines of other cities, just like this year after year, it should not be slow!

The revision of the railway could be left to them, and the top priority was to establish a system of government with full responsibility, and Liu Feng decided to convene a parliament within a few days, and invited Emperor Xian to participate in the hearing, sign the bill and pass the reform of the government framework.

The Han Empire ushered in a new era, after a few days of discussion and research.

The Han Empire established a system of general leadership of the parliament, with Liu Feng serving as the speaker of the three-level parliament, and the main work was carried out by the deputy speaker in peacetime.

The upper aristocratic council is mainly responsible for the day-to-day work of Hu Ya and Jasmine.

The middle-level council is mainly responsible for the main work of Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu.

The lower councils were headed by a number of nouveau riche elected from all over the country, plus the heads of the army.

Then, the leading body of the country is the pattern of the general leadership of the general decision-making organ.

Liu Feng served as the first prime minister, with six subordinate ministries, the Ministry of Justice and Supervision, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance, and the Propaganda Department.

The selection of the first minister has also come to an end.

The Minister of Justice and Supervision is Zhuge Liang, and the Deputy Ministers are Chen Gong and Guo Jia.

The Minister of Education is Jia Xu, and the Vice Ministers are Cheng Yu, Xu Shu, and Hua Tuo.

The Minister of Agriculture is Hu Ya, and the Deputy Ministers are Diao Chan and Zou Shi.

The Minister of Industry is Li Yuanwai, and the Deputy Minister is the Zou family.

The Minister of Finance is Liu Feng, and Hu Ya, Jasmine, Shui Jianshan, Tang Ji, and Diao Chan are the vice ministers.

The Minister of the Propaganda Department is Xu Shao, and the Deputy Minister Xu Jing is thousands of miles away.

As for the other institutions, they are all included, and there is no need to decentralize and subdivide.

The general decision-making body is the military management bureau and is mainly responsible for military affairs.

Liu Feng served as the director of the Military Bureau, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Tariman served as deputy directors, and Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu served as the staff officers of the Bureau.

The lower part is the various units composed of the main general, which is at the department level.

In general, there has been a trend towards a general decision-making body leading the country, and the parliament is only a place to provide a legal basis.

Liu Feng's idea was to make his team completely master the entire Han Empire.

Emperor Xian's signature on the "General Program of the Constitution of the Han Empire" marked that the Han Empire had entered a fast lane.

After the country was basically complete, Liu Feng decided to open a bank and began to absorb the wealth accumulated by various grassroots units.

Through the efforts of the Propaganda Department, the Han Empire basically realized the novelty of the bank.

Liu Feng decided to comprehensively roll out the work of opening banks in Qiaocheng, Yingzhou, Luoyang, Chenliu, Xuzhou, Beihai, Penglai, Yangzhou, Runan, Guangling, Xiangshan, Taishan, and Yanzhou, and the newly appointed presidents were all appointed from within the government.

Among them, Cai Wenji served as the president of Qiaocheng Bank, and the others were subordinates of the Ministry of Finance who had worked for the Han Empire.

The establishment of the bank temporarily solved the problem of shortage of funds and absorbed a large number of deposits.

Almost absorbed nearly 20 trillion deposits, with an annual interest rate of 10%, the interest rate can still be solved, it is nothing more than the problem of printing more banknotes.

With this money, the construction of roads and railways can be carried out, and the next step is to buy raw materials and iron ore from the vassal states, with the aim of increasing the flow of paper money into the vassal states.

The previous cycle of private trade was too long, as Liu Feng decided to achieve this by purchasing large quantities of goods from vassal states through the purchase of paper money.

The establishment of the bank provided a large amount of funds for the purchase of things from the vassal states, and soon a large amount of iron ore was purchased from Xiliang, a large number of coal mines were purchased from the Republic of Montenegro, and a large amount of copper and iron ore were purchased from Huainan

It has made the Han Empire more closely connected with various vassal states, and at present, due to the upgrading of the system, almost everyone is developing themselves, which can be said to be a rare period of great development.
