"It's not going to grow several times in 20 years, is it?" Hearing this question, Li Hui couldn't help but smile slightly, and finally found an opportunity to say it, "Actually, the population growth on Xia Ke Island is not mainly due to fertility and reproduction, but a large number of orphans sent back to China for adoption. ”

"Ding Wu Qi Famine, it must be Ding Wu Qi Famine!" Immediately, a representative of the old base area in Jiaodong shouted, he had personally experienced the catastrophe, and he was extremely impressed by it, if Momen seized that opportunity, it would indeed be no difficult for the population to increase by hundreds of thousands.

In fact, Jiaodong is still relatively light in the Ding Wuqi famine, after all, three sides of the sea, even if there is a drought, it is generally not as serious as the inland, Shanxi is the hardest hit area, in addition to Zhili, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces from the sea a little far away from the county are also seriously affected, according to incomplete statistics, in this drought caused by the ****** there are more than 10 million people starved to death, and more than 20 million people fled from their hometowns, so the orphans are only afraid of several million

"Actually, I am also an adopted orphan, but it is not from the Ding Wuqi famine, the people under the Manchu Dynasty are not happy, even if it is not a catastrophe year, it is not difficult to find orphans." Li Hui said a lie, but the delegates easily listened to it, because most of his lies were true, although the life of the people in the late Qing Dynasty was not as miserable as in the Republic of China, but it was never uncommon for poor people to be forced to sell their children and even their families to die.

After everyone shushed for a while, someone curiously asked Li Hui where he was originally from, but he sold a pass, saying that he was too young when he went to Xia Ke Island, and he only began to have memories after the age of five

Children are gluttonous, everyone can't help but smile when they hear this, who doesn't have a time when they are young and ignorant? As for Li Hui's dialect, even the well-informed Yan Fu can only judge that it has something to do with Jianghuai's official dialect, but he can't accurately judge who he is.

An orphan can grow into such an outstanding talent, and now it has even shocked the whole world, which makes everyone admire Li Hui even more. After learning that many of the "people from the island" were actually born and raised on the mainland, those "local" representatives felt a lot closer, although it may take a long time for the mustard in their hearts to be completely eliminated, but it is still much better than before.

Seeing that this lie had some effect, Li Hui hit the railway while it was hot, "If we can repel the interference of the great powers, realize the reunification of the whole country, and be able to lead the rapid development of the country, so as to prove that the path of our Datong Party is correct, then Momen will join our party as a whole, and after that, the good deeds of adopting orphans will be completely transferred to the people's government." In fact, this can be done before, there is no need to wait until that day."

Considering that the country is far from being unified and the external environment is also very sinister, Li Hui's idea is that the date of the founding of the country will be postponed for the time being, but the basic systems should be drafted and tried out as soon as possible, and the most concerned by everyone is the wage system.

Due to the rapid progress of the revolution, the planned "yuan" as legal tender has not yet been widely accepted, and it is currently a war period, so from the army to the government, the rationing system is still used for the time being, and in principle, not a penny of wages can be received (of course, the actual implementation can be a little more flexible, and a little pocket money will be given). ）。

The rationing system is implemented in the short term, and everyone can tolerate it, but it will definitely not work after a long time, so Li Hui had to put the salary allowance and bonus system early on (of course, it is only applicable to those who eat public meals, and it is impossible for private enterprises to manage it so carefully. When it came to the agenda, only the troops continued to be rationed, and there was nowhere to spend the wages they received during the war anyway, and Li Hui also made a promise that the government would be responsible for arranging jobs or allocating land after retirement or reassignment.

Li Hui's basic idea was unanimously agreed by the delegates, that is, the salary is divided into two parts: basic salary and seniority salary, the basic salary is determined by the grade of the position, and the seniority salary only depends on the number of years of service; The allowance is mainly paid to those talents who are urgently needed in the country, and there are positions that few people are willing to do for special risks or other reasons; The bonus system is formulated by each unit on its own, but plans involving larger amounts must be submitted to the central government for approval.

All of this is fine, but there are two main points of contention, one is what is the basic salary of the lowest level, and the other is how big the gap between each level should be.

Considering that with the increase in rank, the salary will also increase, so Li Hui does not want to set the salary gap too wide, but those representatives who have been officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty are accustomed to high salaries, and they are inevitably a little dissatisfied with this.

"It seems that the brainwashing is not enough, after all, the time is too short, and everyone still attaches great importance to interests", Li Hui was a little depressed about this, but this is the price of pursuing speed, fortunately, there is still time to discuss slowly, and after a large number of grassroots cadres are also involved, the situation should be greatly improved.

If that doesn't work, Li Hui can only make a big move. The new government is a big government model, with a wide administration and a large number of cadres, and if the salaries are still as high as those of Qing officials, the finances will have to go bankrupt

After pushing the issue back to an enlarged meeting in a month's time, Li Hui talked about the current internal and external situation facing China, which is, in fact, one of the most important issues

"After the overthrow of the Manchu court, many Manchu remnants rebelled, and also colluded with the foreign powers, in a vain attempt to protect themselves by holding foreigners, and did not hesitate to treat foreigners as dogs, so as to fulfill their wolf ambition of separating one side and becoming the emperor of the soil, hmph, where is it so easy to succeed?" Li Hui sneered and opened the domestic map hanging on the wall, picked up the whip and pointed out one by one, "Xinjiang, Tibet, Outer Mongolia, Yunnan, and Guizhou are far away, so they can only be put back first. The first thing we need to do now is to establish a solid people's political power in the newly liberated land as soon as possible, and in particular, we must pay close attention to the two matters of public order and grain requisition.
