278 Capacity readjustment
As for the situation in Europe, Datang has always been in control. A growing intelligence network has been established on the European continent and www.biquge.info British Isles, and Gibraltar is no small thing, and Los Angeles knows all about it.
Cabinet meetings are still held regularly, and compared to previous years, Luodu seems to be less energetic during this time, and people are getting used to constantly paying attention to outside news. The results of the Datang Expeditionary Force in East Asia were due to the rebound in the profits of domestic export enterprises due to the market development in Europe and the United States, and even the residents of Los Angeles could even pay attention to the development and construction of other cities, and even an animal protectionist and explorer named Chen Beifeng went deep into the interior of the Tang Dynasty to take photos of the wilderness and tell about his own adventures, all of which made Los Angeles people obsessed.
This explorer named Chen Beifeng, with a handsome face and a tall and strong physique, a smart mind and flexible skills, enables him to survive in the wild and harsh natural environment, of course, compared with Bei Ye, who dares to eat anything in another time and space and is a crunchy chicken flavor, Chen Beifeng is still very literary and fresh, the photos he took are full of awe of nature, and the guerrilla he writes is also in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, with gratitude to nature, discussion of life, love for life, in short, full of positive energy.
The popularity of his photographic travelogues was that employees of specialized publishing houses would trek inland to contact Chen Beifeng, who was on an expedition, to take photographs and texts from him, and then replenish him with supplies such as film and food. His guerrilla campaign has already acquired a full-page column in the Datang Daily, which is regularly serialized. In order to get the serialization rights of Chen Beifeng's travels in the next year, the Express News even offered a price of up to 20,000 Tang yuan. The first edition of his travelogue is ready for publication in a book. Readers keep calling the publisher to ask when it will be officially on the shelves.
Arguably. Chen Beifeng has become the first real best-selling author of Datang to some extent. It's not that no one has published a work in five years. Except for some pseudo-writers who imitate works from another time and space with memory, Chen Beifeng is a writer who is truly recognized by the public with his own strength. No one would have expected that such a category would be loved by the Tang people.
A literary critic said in a radio program that Chen Beifeng's works seem far away, but they are close to the actual needs of the Tang people, and many works cannot find resonance in the local area, but Chen Beifeng's works let the Tang people know their own world. And I felt the hardships and excitement of surviving in a strange world.
Even the bigwigs in the cabinet have people reading his works, and before the cabinet meeting begins, several bigwigs are holding newspapers and reading the part that serializes Chen Beifeng's travels.
President Zhao Daling walked into the conference room, and the bigwigs put away the newspaper, and stood up in greeting according to etiquette.
"Okay, all the comrades are here. We will now begin the meeting. There are three main topics on the agenda for today's meeting, the first of which is the domestic economic situation. This was followed by the progress of the expeditionary forces, and finally the discussion of the situation in Europe. Okay, let's discuss the first question first, Secretary Cui, you first read the report jointly submitted by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce, and everyone should pay attention to the record. ”
Presidential Secretary Choi Jeong-yi got up and read a report that had been largely condensed, and the bigwigs were busy and could not finish listening to a report of tens of thousands of words. The report jointly made by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce is mainly a central idea, that is, the development of the European and American markets is much smoother than imagined, after all, the commodity economy in Europe is more mature than that in East Asia, and the sales performance of Datang commodities in the United States and France and other places is very good, especially in the United States, because of the express train to help the United States independence, coupled with the huge demand generated by the reconstruction and industrialization of the United States, so Datang commodities in the United States can almost be said to be sweeping. This was already evident in the middle of the year, and although the impact of the disruption of trade between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing trade was already being felt, due to the adjustment of the domestic economy and the expansion of the European and American markets, there was no severe winter for companies that had been predicted by the previous cabinet.
On the contrary, due to the certain reduction of civilian consumer goods, it is difficult to meet some needs in the U.S. market, such as watches, lighters, flashlights and other small commodities, due to the lack of supply of Datang, so they will soon be sold out after landing in the United States, and in some more remote states, the price will even increase exponentially. Sales of more expensive luxury goods, such as high-end leather goods and jewelry, are also bullish across the board in France. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce jointly proposed whether to liberate part of the production capacity to resume the production and manufacturing of civilian goods for export.
After Secretary Cui's introduction, Wang Jinghong continued on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce: "In addition to the needs of the European and American markets, I also need to add that General Bai Nan has already controlled the Beizhili region, and in fact, our influence has completely penetrated into the Qing Dynasty, and it is already something that cannot be easily erased. It is true that the market in North China alone is not very qualified compared to the American market, and we have just completely cleaned up the group with the most spending power, the stubborn owners of the Eight Banners, but this does not mean that we can ignore the revival of the homeland market. According to the statistics of Datang East Asia Yuan, we have a batch of goods shipped to the capital as a tentative basis, and the sales situation is relatively good, although there is no very large shipment, but the growth is very stable. According to the analysis of the Ministry of Commerce, a series of products related to people's livelihood, such as grain, non-staple food, matches, textiles, sugar and other condiments, are optimistic. What cannot be ignored is that in our expedition plan, occupying the Yangtze River Delta and radiating economic power to the south of the Yangtze River are also an important part, so these need to be laid out in advance. Here, the Ministry of Commerce calls for corresponding adjustments in domestic production capacity. ”
Zhao Daling said: "We can see the logic of this analysis, but we are also in a war with a high intensity, everything is to ensure our victory in the war, if the industrial capacity is transferred, can we ensure that the military supply is not affected?" ”
Liang Zhenhai said: "Judging from the supply consumption of Yuanzong now, our ammunition consumption is lower than expected, and the loss of equipment is not obvious, but the consumption of food, clothing and other items is twice as much as our previous estimate. We have continued to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, and by the end of last month, our stocks of weapons and ammunition were sufficient to sustain the current intensity of war for more than two years. Even though we are now adjusting our strategy and resuming the production of some civilian goods, we still have a continuous and stable military production plan. In my opinion, only the S1 automatic rifle has now been manufactured in our country with more than 100,000 units, which is enough to arm the Tang Army and even the Armed Guards that we will arm later. As for the Army's Type 77 combat vehicles, we are also close to completing the production of 1,000 units. If we continue to produce this equipment in large quantities, it may lead to a waste of resources, because we simply don't need so many things. I believe that in order to ensure China's military supply, on the one hand, we should reduce the production of equipment and instead increase the research and development of next-generation weapons, such as the S10 semi-automatic rifle and the 'fierce fire' self-propelled artillery, which are listed as key projects; on the other hand, our military supply should enhance the military and civilian functions, such as clothing and non-staple food. The production of these supplies is inseparable from civilian goods, and we can use our production capacity to continue to produce civilian products for domestic and foreign countries while giving priority to ensuring the supply of the military, so as to achieve the maximum efficiency of our production capacity. ”
On this issue, the Cabinet is basically the same. Now anyone can see that there will be a new round of foreign trade expansion in Datang, and the Datang system requires the cabinet to take the first step to anticipate the form, be a good leader, and take Datang to turn around in advance. Even if the adjustment of the production capacity structure is carried out again, it is an obvious situation of overnight change, because only a round of transformation was carried out at the beginning of the year, and now it has to be changed back to a part, but it has to be done.
Of course, in the previous transformation, some enterprises have carried out structural reform and streamlining, and have also achieved some results. At the same time, the explosion of military production capacity has also provided the army with quite sufficient reserves, which cannot be denied.
Minister of Civil Affairs Liu Tian said: "But the problem now is that we can foresee that external demand is expanding dramatically, and limited by our labor force, the supply of goods that we can expand at this time will basically reach its limit by 1782." And our market demand will continue to grow, but we can't keep up with it on our own. So, now it's back to the original intention of our previous design of the Cuckoo program, we need a large labor population! Now that Beizhili is already in hand, we have thrown hundreds of thousands of eight flags to Nanguwei Island to open up mines and farm, so now we must return our eyes to China, I think we should order Yuan Zongzhi to strengthen the recruitment of immigrants, our current shipping capacity has grown to a very considerable extent, from Tianjin Port to Long Beach Port, we can transport at least 20,000 to 30,000 immigrants a month, even if only 30% of them can eventually grow into industrial workers, the contribution to the industrialization of our country can not be ignored. ”
Zhao Daling said: "The contradiction between people and land in North China is relatively weaker than that in the South, and this time we directly siphoned off the economic interests of the Eight Banners, and a large area of land was vacated in the Gyeonggi region alone, so relatively speaking, it may be difficult to recruit immigrants." ”
Liu Tiandao: "I think the expeditionary force can think of a way in Shandong, Shandong is the source of the late Qing Dynasty to break into the eastern part of the country, here at least we can take a million people." ”
Regardless of whether Liu Tian's idea is too optimistic, the worsening of the labor shortage in Datang is imminent, so the policy of requiring Bai Nan to send at least 200,000 new immigrants to the country within a year has also been unanimously approved. (To be continued.) )
