It is an exaggeration to say that Li Guang is good at doing the economy. However, Li Guang still has a long-term understanding of the direction of the economy. It is impossible not to be long-term, and if the traveler does not have this knowledge, he will live in vain.

However, when it comes to how to spend money, and it can also take into account the immediate and long-term, the input-output ratio is the highest. With Li Guang's level, it is really not good to make a decision immediately. This is the design of an economic system.

Some people are willing to be immortals and plan everything for the people. That kind of harm Li Guang has seen and heard a lot in the 21 st century.

However, when it comes to the situation of Haitang Kingdom, so much money can be regarded as earned by the military and the government. How to spend it, the government and the military are in the driver's seat, but there is no doubt.

"Concentrate on big things"?

It seems to be an important part of embodying the superiority of so-and-so.

Moreover, as far as the situation of Haitang is concerned, the government can really concentrate on a few major events, start a few major projects, and build a few large factories. As a result, a pattern has been formed that after the reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises are the leaders and private enterprises are supplemented. While there are inevitable drawbacks, it's barely a proven path to success.

However, the situation in the Haitang Kingdom is really not as good as the situation in the early days of China's reform and opening up in the 80s. Not to mention that the current international environment is in a state of war, just one human resource makes the Haitang State shackled.

In the 80s, although there was almost no private capital in China, there were endless human resources. The private economy has grown from scratch and has continuously found the cracks in the market, so as to develop and grow.

Now the Haitang Kingdom can be poured, the market is not a gap, but a complete blank (except for military industry and agriculture). It is a pity that the private sector is not only short of funds, but also of human resources.

Li Guang can find dozens of projects at will, and easily exhaust these funds. However, after these funds have been exhausted, it is still difficult for private funds to fill the gaps in the market. It is difficult to translate these investments into economic strength in a timely manner. In other words, government investment is likely to be wasted and idle.

After thinking about it on the warship for more than ten days, as the depth of his thinking increased, he felt that this topic did not seem to be as simple as he imagined, so he racked his brains and pondered for a long time.

Li Guang's thinking suddenly became clear one day, and after finding the core problem of the development dilemma of Haitang Kingdom, everything was easily solved.

What is lacking in the Haitang Kingdom? Not resources, not land, not even money, but people. Talent. Agriculture needs people, industry needs people, and the military needs people. All the ideas of a prosperous country and a strong people cannot be played without people.

For example, all of Little Japan died without a problem. Go see Amaterasu. Leaving a complete Japan, the Haitang Kingdom has no way to run it now.

Agricultural population. It's also relatively easy to solve. There are more landless peasants in the country. Only the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are enough to fill the current capacity of Haitang Kingdom.

Workers, lacking. It may be possible to dig some more in China, but it is far from enough.

High-quality workers, almost do not want to recruit from the country.

High-tech talents, Haitang has already poached people everywhere, but it is difficult to meet the needs of only a few existing military enterprises.

As for more high-level researchers. If you want to dig people, it's not a matter of difficulty, it's too little.

Cultivation, this is the only way out for Haitang Kingdom. Whether it's looking at the present. Or is it the post-war period, or the future.

Following this line of thought, Li Guang's economic construction plan gradually became clear - the investment plan, which was called "one core and two aspects", has since been released.

One core - people, talents.

Two aspects, 1,000 schools (majors) and 1,000 factories (engineering).

The so-called 1,000 schools are to vigorously develop education.

Haitang already has a school of political science and law, the Americans pay for it, the United Kingdom and the United States contribute faculty, and Haitang Guo recruits students from China. To enhance the university's appeal, Dr. Hu Shi has stepped down from his post as Minister to the United States and assumed the position of Dean of the School of Political Science and Law. The envoy of the Haitang State to the United States was served by Wang Shi, who wrote "The First Blood".

What Li Guang wants to run now is basic education, plus a complete education system for all practical subjects, from junior workers to high-skilled personnel. Moreover, all of them are compulsory.

To put it simply, those who graduated from primary school and could not be admitted to junior high school can go to a junior technical school. As for those whose academic performance was so poor that it was difficult to even graduate, they had to go home to farm.

Those who graduate from junior high school and cannot be admitted to high school can go to intermediate technical schools.

If you graduate from high school but can't be admitted to university, there are colleges and universities to attend.

After graduating from high school, Haitang can be admitted to university, Haitang State is temporarily unable to prepare for a real science and engineering college, so it can only build a hardware of Haitang National University of Technology first, but students will be sent to the United States or Uruguay to go to university at the government's expense.

Li Guang is well aware of the harm of a lifelong examination, but under the current conditions, it is simply impossible to develop such a very ideal education system.

In the long run, this kind of compulsory education will put a lot of pressure on the country's economy. Therefore, there are restrictions on the proportion of students who go on to higher education at all four levels of education.

Looking at the proportion of students going on to higher education set by the government, Li Guang thinks about his childhood and can't look back.

The proportion of primary school graduates is 80 percent, 40 percent of primary school graduates, and 40 percent of technical studies.

Thinking about a primary school student, he has to endure such a cruel percentage of elimination, Li Guang clicked his lips and did not object.

If you start from elementary school, the percentage of college students going on to higher education is only about 1 percent.

To be honest, Li Guang is a little resistant to these policies. But even with such a terrifying percentage of going on to higher education, Hai Tang Kingdom would have to spend four billion Tang Yuan in three years. That's the equivalent of 100 million dollars.

That's a staggering number. According to the price of gold, the dollar in this year is almost 50 times that of 2012. In other words, the investment in education is equivalent to 5 billion US dollars in 2012, more than 30 billion yuan.

Such a big deal, don't say China. Even in the United States, it's oversized. Therefore, as soon as this policy came out, the whole country was shaken, and even everyone in Chinese mainland was amazed.

Although there is water, this policy is to some extent equivalent to compulsory education from primary school to university. In this era, neither the United States nor other European countries can do one thing. What's more, the education target of Haitang Kingdom is not only existing citizens, but its coverage includes Chinese mainland.

It's a bit modest to say that it's big. It's insane.

I hope that my son will become a dragon, and I hope that my daughter will become a phoenix. Whether it's in this age or seventy years later, all parents are the same.

With such a large-scale investment in education, there is a particularly important question about where the students come from.

You must know that at the beginning of the fourth or third year, the population of the Haitang Kingdom was only 1.23 million. There are not many school-age pupils and middle school students at all.

Therefore, the source of students can only be Chinese mainland.

In order to attract immigrants, the policies of Haitang are very preferential. All students from China, whether they are elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, or higher majors. Regardless of the previous year, tuition, fees and basic living expenses are free of charge. The condition is only one and a half times the time spent working and going to school in Haitang after graduation, and it is a salary.

Family members are welcome to accompany students during the school day. If the student, the whole family immigrated to Haitang Kingdom, they still enjoy the treatment of "one cow on thirty acres of land" in Haitang Kingdom. ”

As for whether these students can be kept. For these students to immigrate to Haitang with their families, it depends on the government's ability. As for some students, they will return to China after completing their studies. Li Guang said: I have made contributions to the motherland.

Prime Minister and government departments. Confidence in that. Li Rulin, the minister of immigration, and the old bureaucrat are now also arrogant, patting his chest and guaranteeing that within three years, if such conditions cannot attract millions of students, he, the minister of immigration, will step down immediately.

It can enroll a million students, if all stay. That means five million people. It means a lot.

On the other hand, thousands of factories (engineering).

In fact, the investment in the construction of 1,000 factories is still to attract talent training. At its core, it still boils down to one word - people.

These plants vary in size. Some only invest three to five thousand dollars, others are tens of thousands, and the largest investment is in the millions of dollars.

These companies are micro and small enterprises. However, it can form a nearly complete industrial system.

On the one hand, these enterprises were established for the economic development of Haitang Kingdom, and more importantly, for the placement of all skilled workers.

In China, which is in another time and space, there are countless disadvantages of education. However, one of the biggest quality defects of engineering students like Li Guang is that they emphasize theory over practice.

It is not only a realistic requirement, but also Li Guang's idea. Therefore, these thousands of enterprises are assuming the role of student internship factories to varying degrees.

Li Guang has a vision beyond the times, but there are thousands of factories and a wide range of categories, and it is difficult to say which enterprises can really survive and develop.

Whether an enterprise can succeed or not, although the vision is important, but the right time, place and people can determine success or failure.

For example, a project in Haitang Kingdom, anti-aircraft artillery proximity fuse. This thing cannot be said that Li Guang's vision is incorrect, nor can it be said that Li Guang is too ambitious, after all, the United States has already created it. However, due to the constraints of various conditions, a product with great development potential is difficult to create benefits at present. If it can't create benefits, an enterprise will naturally not survive. Even if it can be manufactured after a few years, it will still be difficult to recover the investment cost after the time period of World War II.

Therefore, in terms of these small and micro enterprise sectors, the approach taken by the government is that the government invests and the businessmen lease. Or businessmen set up projects, and the government pays for them. The approach can be flexible.

If the business is successful, then the government can sell the company's shares at a high price. If the company is not successful, then the government should pay the tuition.

As for how to pay less tuition, that's a matter for the government. It depends on how the policy is formulated and the level of decision-making. This kind of trivial matter should be left to the government officials to consider.

As a matter of fact, what Li Guang believes most in the economy is to hand over enterprises to the market.

However, because the government is too powerful, it is not enough to hand over enterprises to the market. For small and micro enterprises, the government does not attach too much importance to it, and is willing to let it go. However, there are several large projects wholly invested by the government, and several of them have faintly formed the form of state-owned enterprises, and they also have substance.

First, transportation. The Haitang Kingdom of Datang Island focuses on the development of only four surrounding seaport cities and one capital, Chang'an. With the current level of productivity in Haitang Kingdom, the original semi-primitive port of Datang Island is sufficient. However, Chang'an, as the capital, is extremely inconvenient because it is inland. Therefore, after some arguments, it was decided to build a main road that runs from east to west.

This is a 600-kilometer-long road. It is not only a requirement of economic development, but also plays an extremely important role in national defense construction. When this road is completed, the transfer of troops between the east and west coasts of the Haitang Kingdom will be extremely convenient. Datang Island's Native Defense Level will be increased by one level.

With the construction of this highway, there are corresponding majors such as bridge construction in the higher education system of Haitang Kingdom.

Second, hydropower. The water resources of Datang Island are incomparably rich. Because there is a north-south plateau in the middle of Datang Island, the east and west coasts, and it is located in the tropical and subtropical oceans, hundreds of rivers are formed on this large island from the central plateau to the coastal areas on both sides. The five largest rivers all originate in the Central Highlands and flow into the Mozambique Channel on the west coast.

Because of this topography, it is decided whether Datang Island is a big river or a small river. The water flow difference is quite large, so there are excellent conditions for the development of hydropower.

Datang Island is not short of coal, but looking at the wolf smoke billowing chimneys, Li Guang is very worried that this beautiful island will not be full of haze by him.

Moreover, from an economic point of view. Hydropower is the most economical. The only downside is that the investment cycle is a bit long. However, in order to develop the economy in the long run, it is very necessary to lay the foundation of energy conservation and environmental protection now. Therefore. At Li Guang's insistence. After much argumentation, this investment plan was gradually accepted by government officials. However, the conditions for building hydropower stations on five major rivers were not yet in place for the time being, so Li Guang decided to use a few small rivers to train his hands and train some talents.

Thereupon. The hydropower major became the second junior college major in Haitang Kingdom. As for teachers, they can only be recruited from the United States at the moment.

Third, mineral metallurgy.

The first is steel. At this stage of development, steel has become a bottleneck in industrial development. Originally, it was the demand of the Haitang Kingdom. Relying on the import of some iron from Australia, some scrap steel scrap from various places is almost enough to produce some munitions.

However, after the introduction of the education industry and the transportation and hydropower industries, there was a serious shortage of steel. Not to mention alloy steel with higher quality requirements, it is more difficult to buy steel bars for construction. The government invested US$4 million to build a steel mill with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons.

In this year's steel mills, ordinary steel is still made from open-hearth furnaces, and oxygen top-blowing converters have not yet appeared. Although Li Guang can't look down on it, he can only make do with it first, anyway, it is mainly to produce steel for construction. In short, learn to walk before you run.

In terms of education, several technical specialties related to smelting and processing were established, and top blowing converter steelmaking was included in the key scientific research projects. Iron and steel smelting and processing has become another key major in colleges and universities.

For the smelting and processing of non-ferrous metals, Haitang has built more than a dozen enterprises in one go. After more than half a year of exploration, the mining engineers hired by Haitang discovered one mineral after another.

Moreover, some minerals are almost bare on the surface, with excellent quality and extremely convenient development conditions.

For example, less than 100 kilometers from Vladivostok, a huge copper mine has been discovered in an area of the adjacent coast. This copper mine does not need to be mined at all, it is dug directly from the ground, and the grade is quite high, and the reserves are extremely rich. There are many similar minerals, and they are treasures almost everywhere. For example, nickel ore, zinc ore, lead ore, iron ore, etc.

Li Guang couldn't believe why the French didn't exploit these minerals on such a rich island, and why it was still the poorest country in the 21st century.

The reason is not complicated, the French have more resources at hand, and there is no need to exploit the minerals here. Such a colonial country, even if it is independent, lacks technology, funds, and most importantly, the natives here are all semi-primitive "blacks".

Where there are resources, there are many advantageous industries. For example, copper mines, copper smelters, wire factories, copper processing plants, these factories quickly began to plan.

It is worth mentioning that near the west coast of Datang Island, a titanium mine was discovered. The engineers did not care, because the mine had not yet been put into practical use during World War II.

But Li Guang is different, this kid was a scholar to speculate in stocks, so he bought a certain stock about the titanium industry X titanium dioxide, XX titanium industry. Moreover, I pretended to study the so-called fundamentals, and even the processing process.

In the end, the gods and horses were useless, and the losses were miserable.

The unforgettable lesson made Li Guang have a deep understanding of the metal of titanium, money, that's all money.

Who would have thought that after a few years, Li Guang encountered this thing again. Needless to say, it is necessary and absolute to recover the losses of the "21 st century stock market" from this piece.

So, Li Guang paid out of his own pocket, and an experimental factory began to be established.

In terms of mineral metallurgy, the government spends a lot of money, but in fact, except for steel mills, the scale is not large. It is still mainly demonstrative.

With the implementation of the Double Thousand Project, education and industry, and an annual investment of 4 billion Tang Yuan (equivalent to 100 million US dollars), the government immediately got busy.

Four or three years, four or four years is okay, it is almost possible on the books. However, how to raise funds in four or five years, Premier Yuan found a way after Li Guang's "currency invasion". At one time, Premier Yuan set aside 50 million US dollars as the reserve fund of Haitang Guobank, and issued 4 billion Tang Yuan to the outside world. Target: Ceylon, Africa, India, Myanmar.

It's only one to two, Li Guang smiled, be too careful. You have to issue a one-to-four, one-to-five to be aggressive enough.

In short, the thousand factories plan that in three or five years, Haitang Kingdom will have an almost complete industry. (To be continued......)
