Finance is a vital part of any period of government. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe old saying that money is easy to do things, there is still some truth to it. Even if the army is expanded to appease the people's livelihood, in fact, financial support is indispensable.

It is undoubtedly very unsafe to obtain funds solely on the basis of seizures and external assistance. Even if the arsenal is already printing some counterfeit banknotes on the market, it will not be able to meet the growing capital needs of the central government.

After the meeting, He Zhengdao also recalled some information about the gold and silver mines in the base area. The best way to solve the problem is to increase the hard currency reserve and reduce expenditure. And the production of gold and silver mines can also help a lot.

Compared with the Nationalist government, which is now living in Chongqing, it still has a lot of financial reserves. Yan'an, it can be said that it started from scratch to the present. Most of the funds seized in the past were also how much money was used to do how much.

But nowadays, with the expansion of base areas, there are also more and more democratic governments at the county level. The need for finance is also more urgent and urgent than before. Although the troops are not paid, they still need to spend money on food and clothing.

Even if He Zhengdao proposed the formation of the Northeast Coalition Army last time, the central government and the headquarters agreed, but they still couldn't come up with too much money. In a sense, the current financial shortage also restricts the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Thinking that in later generations, there would be an armed police gold unit specializing in finding gold veins, He Zhengdao felt that at this stage, in fact, such a group of personnel familiar with geology could be organized to search for gold and silver veins in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Once there is a harvest, the central government only needs to invest a certain amount of mining funds, and it can have a steady stream of income. Nowadays, the fiat currency issued by the government has depreciated, but the hard currency of gold and silver is still very useful.

Moreover, in order to stabilize the central government's finances and stabilize the currency issued by the central government in the base areas, it is very important to maintain the value of gold reserves. If there is enough gold and silver, more money will be printed.

As the person in charge of the central finance, Lin Lao naturally knew that there was not much gold in the headquarters now. If the reserves of precious metals are not increased, there is a risk that the banknotes printed by the local banks will depreciate.

After the meeting, He Zhengdao also wrote a special report on financial issues. The proposal to increase the number of geological exploration teams was included in the report. In addition to that, it is to find new sources of revenue.

At present, the central government has a large amount of funds, which have been invested in the research and development and production of the arsenal. In fact, however, the central government's source of revenue also benefits from the arsenals and the large and small factories in the base areas.

Thinking about the development of penicillin, it is entering the clinical stage. He Zhengdao thinks that perhaps the central government should be advised to start putting this drug on the market for investment. This kind of medicine can be described as soft gold during World War II!

According to what He Zhengdao has learned, the development of penicillin is actually being carried out abroad. It's just that from R&D to putting it into the market, foreign scientists who study this drug have actually encountered the embarrassment of difficult sales.

Nowadays, when doctors use antimicrobial drugs, they still prefer to use sulfonamides. Sulfonamides are also the largest source of profits for the central government's export sales. It's just that He Zhengdao feels that he doesn't make much money.

In contrast, if penicillin can be introduced to some foreigners. Then the money earned may be more cost-effective than selling sulfonamides. Most importantly, the pricing of penicillin in the future will also be controlled by Huaxia.

Back then, penicillin imported during the Anti-Japanese War was more expensive than gold. But even so, during the Anti-Japanese War, penicillin was still a high-end imported drug that both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were very urgently needed.

Looking at He Zhengdao, who went into the study after the meeting and began to write the report, Chen Siya, who also knew that she was at the recent military and political conference, did not ask what was said at the relevant military and political meeting.

Sometimes, knowing less about things is actually safer for her.

It's just that it didn't take long to look at Mr. He and the others who came over together, Chen Siya also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. He, Master Luo, you are here." Jeongdo is still writing a report in the study, so I'll call him! ”

Regarding He Zhengdao's good popularity in the army, when she got married this time, Chen Siya could be regarded as a real insight. As He Zhengdao's wife, Chen Siya also knows very well that she needs to be a good helper for He Zhengdao.

'Xiao Chen, we're here to disturb again. Writing a report? As soon as this meeting is over, what report is he going to write? ’

Mr. He, who asked curiously, soon heard Chen Siya say a little embarrassed: "I don't know much about this!" It's just that when he came back, his expression was quite serious, and he thought it should be a headache! ”

'Oh, and the thing that gives him a headache, it's not a small thing! ’

At this time, He Zhengdao came out of the cave and said, "Mr. He, Brother Luo, I'm sorry!" I just buried myself in writing a report, and I forgot that I had an appointment tonight! Siya, go take out the tea leaves I brought last time and make two cups of tea! ”

'Okay, let's talk first!' ’

After talking and turned around and walked into the cave to make tea with the guests, He Zhengdao called the guard over again and asked him to prepare the ingredients for tonight's barbecue. As for the charcoal, I kept a lot of it at home last time, so I didn't have to buy it.

After welcoming the two of them to their seats, Mr. He asked the previous things again. He Zhengdao did not hide anything, and talked about some of the ideas he had thought of about improving the central government's finances and wrote a report to submit to the central authorities.

After listening to He Zhengdao's suggestion, Mr. He also nodded with satisfaction: "It's still easy for you young people's brains to use, and it is indeed a drop in the bucket to hope that the vacancy in the central government will be filled through seizure."

In fact, we are now on the battlefield and there is not much money to be captured. In these years, the common people are living hard, so there is still money! As for the little devils, they are still trying to steal money on our side!

With its hope for the capture of the troops, it is really better to think more about it from the inside. I think the prospecting team you mentioned is still very necessary. Speaking of which, although there are not many gold and silver mines in our country, there are certainly such veins in the base areas.

If a large ore vein can be found, as long as some manpower and material resources are invested in mining, the central government will have a stable source of funds in the future. This is more practical and reliable than relying on us to capture it on the front line! ”

Luo Shanhui, who came with Mr. He, said with some curiosity: "Righteous way, is the penicillin you said better than the sulfonamide we are using now?" But why didn't our troops see this kind of medicine? ”

With the construction of the Eighth Route Army, it is much better than in history. Yan'an and Yulin have also opened special medical colleges. A large number of interns and nurses were also added to work in the rear hospitals of the divisions.

With the rear hospital, wounded soldiers on the front line can also receive the most timely and proper treatment. This is also the change that He Zhengdao has brought to the Eighth Route Army in the independent column, which has always focused on the construction of logistics support.

In the face of Luo Shanhui's inquiry, He Zhengdao did not hide anything and said directly: "Penicillin has a better antibacterial effect than sulfonamides, and it can also treat some diseases that cannot be solved by sulfonamides." It's just that it takes a process to get into clinical use.

In addition, this drug will also have sensitive people, and some people are not suitable for this antibacterial drug. Moreover, at present, the actual number of finished drugs developed by our medical research institute is not large, and it is naturally not suitable for large-scale use.

It's just that according to the effect of clinical experiments in the rear medicine, this penicillin has a better effect than sulfonamides. It can effectively inhibit scarlet fever, purulent laryngitis, various tuberculosis, sepsis, pneumonia, typhoid fever and other diseases.

In the future, in addition to ensuring the use of these medicines by our troops, they should be a new source of revenue for the central government if they are sold to the outside world. However, this matter will have to be discussed with the people of the Medical Research Institute after I return to Yulin.

At least I hope that when the time comes, Vice Chairman Zhou will organize some intelligence personnel to temporarily act as drug dealers. These drugs are sold to foreigners, and the price of each penicillin is settled in gold. ”

'Golden settlement? Is this medicine so expensive? ’

Looking at Mr. He's surprised expression, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This medicine can also cure some special diseases." For those who are infected with this disease, if there is no such special medicine, they can only sit and wait for death.

In this case, not to mention the price compared to gold, even if they ask for half of their property, it is estimated that they will be ecstatic, right? Therefore, I plan to ask people from the intelligence department to collect some information on foreign consuls and military attachés in China.

Whoever suffers from a disease for which there is no cure at this stage should give him a trial of this medicine. If you want to buy medicine after it has an effect, then wait for real money to exchange it for real money, and first hype up the fame of this medicine.

In this way, the profits brought by future sales can not only allow our soldiers to use this relatively cheap medicine, but also use this medicine to solve the financial shortage through export sales. ”

'You guy, it seems that if you go into business, you must be a profiteer! ’

'Mr. He, look at what you said! No treachery, no business! What's more, to make money from foreign devils, I am still happy to be a profiteer. With money, the democratic political council and the Eighth Route Army we formed can develop more steadily! ’

For those foreigners who are still staying in China, He Zhengdao actually doesn't have much affection. Even now, especially those concessions that foreigners still retain, in He Zhengdao's view, it is also a shame for China.

In the future, if there is an opportunity to liberate those cities with concessions, He Zhengdao will also revoke the special treatment and extrajudicial rights of these foreigners in China. They will even find ways to make these aggressors pay the price they deserve.

As long as we can get the little devils out of the country before the end of World War II, a new democratic government will be formed. So He Zhengdao believes that the European and American countries that have become a mess of porridge do not dare to easily provoke a new China that has already risen! (To be continued.) )
