When the war in the Republic of China was still going on, the current Lanfang was also fighting hard, but the development of the country did not stop for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On Taohua Island and Jinzhou Island, six fertilizer factories are working day and night to produce fertilizer as soon as possible to provide enough support for Lanfang's agriculture.

With so many projects in one go, the amount of money required must be astronomical.

Prime Minister Huang Bohan has done his best to maintain the capital chain in order not to break.

Qin Zhiyuan has a lot of industries in his hands, among which the United Oil Company has begun to make a profit, the penicillin factory has been profitable, and the profits of LLL Company are also increasing, and the total income of these items is about 10 million US dollars per month.

This money seems to be a lot, but in fact, it can just make up for Lan Fang's military expenses.

Lan Fang's army is quite a lot now, although the 100,000-strong army in Europe does not need Qin Zhiyuan to pay, but Lan Fang's military expenses have to be paid by Qin Zhiyuan.

Lan Fang's current standing army is about 200,000 people, plus the 100,000 people who are preparing for the northern expedition, the number of troops has reached 300,000.

Since it is the army of its own country, it is no longer a "mercenary" nature, and the salary naturally has to adapt to reality, so the salary of the soldier is about five francs per day, which is about one dollar.

Don't feel like a dollar is less, but now at the beginning of the 20th century, a dollar a day was higher than the middle-class salary in the United States.

So calculated in this way, Qin Zhiyuan earns 10 million US dollars every month, which is probably just enough to pay the salaries of Lan Fang's army, and he can't even take care of government workers.

The salaries of government workers are Huang Bohan's business.

For this reason, Huang Bohan was almost heartbroken, Lan Fang's current government staff is not much, in fact, the total number of people is less than 10,000, and the salary of 10,000 people, in fact, Huang Bohan can take it out of his own pocket.

But this is not the way the work is done, even if Huang Bohan has money, he can't directly use it to pay government workers, otherwise the notoriety of "inviting people to buy people's hearts" is indispensable, and he still has to think of other ways.

There is not much to think about, except to borrow money from abroad, that is, to issue bonds inward.

There are generally strings attached to borrowing from abroad, and now the richest people in the world, and the ones who can come up with it, are Americans.

But the Americans are not good people, if they ask the Americans to borrow, the Americans will directly ask Lan Fang to withdraw from Zheng He Island, will Lan Fang return it or not?

Therefore, the most convenient way is to issue bonds internally.

Since January, Lanfang has issued four consecutive bonds, totaling about $100 million.

These bonds were all digested internally by Huang Bohan, Huang Jinsheng, Guo Shenglong and **** Mao, of which Huang Bohan himself subscribed for more than $50 million. It is with this 100 million US dollars that Lanfang can now carry out so many constructions at the same time.

The rich people in Lanfang are still very rich, just like in the process of issuing bonds this time, the rich people in the Lion City (Singapore) also intended to bear a part, but Huang Bohan didn't give them a chance at all, and before he left the office, he digested all these bonds internally.

Before the founding of Lanfang, if you look at the proportion of population, there were actually more Chinese in the Lion City, and of course, there were more rich Chinese in the Lion City than in the Dutch East Indies at that time.

In the process of Lanfang's founding of the country, the Chinese billionaires in the Lion City gave Lanfang a lot of help.

Lan Fang did not forget them, after the founding of the country, Lan Fang gave the rich people of the Lion City a promise, no matter at any time, as long as the Lion City needs Lan Fang, Lan Fang will go all out.

That's enough.

The reason why the rich people of the Lion City will help Lan Fang is because of the righteousness of the same clan on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to find a backer.

The Lion City is now under the control of the British, and perhaps at some point, the Lion City needs Lan Fang's protection, and when that time comes, that is, Lan Fang will return the favor to the Lion City.

Therefore, in Lanfang now, the military and national defense are borne by Qin Zhiyuan, and the economy is borne by the Lanfang government.

In the future, if Lanfang's economy starts to get on the right track, military spending will definitely be borne by the government, but at this stage, it can only be maintained in this way for the time being.

In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things.

Lan Fang has not yet determined a monetary system, following the habit of Corsica, the currency currently in circulation in Lan Fang is actually the franc.

Huang Bohan has realized that something is wrong, and is currently preparing to issue Lan Fang's own currency, the face value of the currency has been determined, and the style and pattern have basically been determined.

Lanfang's currency, paper money, the basic unit of currency is "yuan", and the value of the currency refers to francs, about one yuan to one franc.

The maximum face value of Lanfang's currency is "100 Yuan Coins", the front of the 100 Yuan Coin is the head of Qin Zhiyuan, and the back is Wanghaizhou, the largest island in Lanfang.

The next currency value is "50 yuan", the front pattern is Huang Bohan's head, and the back pattern is Jinzhou Island.

The next denominations are "20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao, 5 cents, 1 cent", where "yuan" above is paper money, and "yuan" below is coinage.

In order to ensure the smooth issuance of currency, Lan Fang established a state-owned bank called the "National Bank", which will be responsible for currency issuance, as well as other functions such as savings, credit, and exchange.

The establishment of the bank marked the gradual stabilization of the financial order, and with the gradual stabilization of finance, Lanfang's finances also began to improve.

In fact, in Lanfang, while industrialization and large-scale infrastructure construction are underway, the original economic pillar industries are also constantly generating profits.

For example, the oil fields in Daqing City.

The oil fields in Daqing City have been under development, because the supporting refineries have not yet been built, so now the exports are all crude oil, and the Americans are the largest buyers.

Lanfang sells crude oil to the United States, and does not want the dollars printed by the Americans, but adopts the method of bartering.

There are many northerners in Lanfang, and northerners are actually more accustomed to eating wheat and soybeans than rice, but Lanfang does not produce wheat and soybeans locally, so the United States has become the largest importer of agricultural products in Lanfang.

To put it simply, Lanfang sells crude oil to the Americans, who exchange the equivalent of wheat for soybeans.

In this exchange process, Lan Fang is actually in a position of transcendence.

For the difference in the exchange, Lanfang asked the Americans to make up for it with other industrial products, such as cloth, scrap steel, and so on.

"Scrap steel" has been sold to the Japanese by the Americans before, and the Japanese, who lack resources, rely on scrap steel imported from the United States to continuously support the expansion of Japanese militarism.

Lan Fang is now importing scrap steel from the United States, which is tantamount to cutting off the lifeblood of the Japanese.

At the very least, if not to cut off completely, but also to make it impossible for the Japanese to get as much as they want.

Japan is a country, because they rely on imports for almost all of their raw materials, in fact, the domestic foundation is very weak, if you break the neck of the Japanese and cut off their sea transportation lines, there is no need to attack it at all, and in three months at most, Japan will fall into chaos.

In another time and space, the reason why Japan was able to do whatever it wanted in the Republic of China was, on the one hand, because the Republic of China itself was not competitive and its internal friction was too serious to develop its economy, and on the other hand, it was because the United States was acting as Japan's logistics minister.

As long as it is the materials that the Japanese need, whether it is aviation fuel, cooking oil, or even steel or food, as long as the Japanese need it, the Americans will vigorously supply it, and even if the Japanese have no money, the Americans will sell it to him if they provide loans.

Even so, the Japanese were overwhelmed by the long war, and in order to obtain cheaper raw materials, the Japanese launched wars against the raw material producing areas in Southeast Asia.

The Americans were in control of the Philippines at that time and had their own interests in Southeast Asia itself.

In addition, if the Japanese obtain the origin of raw materials, they will also reduce the amount of imports from the United States, which will affect the interests of the Americans, so the United States will directly intervene.

Look, is it very similar to the First World War, as long as you can still make money, it has nothing to do with the Americans if all the people outside the United States die, once you can't make money, then the Americans will have to roll up their arms and sleeves and go down in person.

Therefore, don't say that the Americans are participating in the world war for what Rausch "justice", they are purely for their own interests, and have nothing to do with "justice".

In other words, the so-called "justice" of the Americans refers to the interests of the United States.

In fact, for Qin Zhiyuan, "interests first" itself does not matter whether it is good or bad, Qin Zhiyuan himself is also "interests first".

But the most disgusting thing about Americans is that they "want to be a and want to build a torii", completely ignoring whether others will be disgusting.

Lanfang's economy is not only based on oil, but also on rubber, palm oil, edible sugar, etc., which are also being exported, and are producing more and making more profits than during the Dutch colonial period.

It's just that compared to the huge expenditure, the Lanfang government's current income still has a big gap, so it seems that it can't make ends meet.

However, this situation will not last long, at most two or three years, when the current factory starts to put into operation, the financial situation of the Lanfang government will improve, and it will gradually turn to profitability, and there will be more and more.

It looks like everything is on the bright side.

Not all news is good news.

In a corner of Wanghaizhou, five or six people gathered in the dim light, as if plotting something.

"Davarich, we can no longer endure the oppression of the bourgeoisie, we must stand up and fight those vampires resolutely!" A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked magnificent, his hands clenched tightly into fists across his chest, facing the north impassionedly, his eyes radiating an unwavering gaze.

"yes, we can't take it anymore......"

"We want to follow Russia's example and create a Russian Bolshevik-style government!"

"I heard that the Lanfang government wants to attack the Russian Bolshevik Davarich, we should do something to cooperate with the Russian Bolshevik Davarich."

A few people next to him echoed the voice, and some smoked cigarettes and didn't speak.

"Regardless of whether the Lanfang government will attack Russia or not, we should make our own voices heard, what kind of Rausch 'union', now refusing us to join, this is really unreasonable, we must establish our own 'union', and never accept the control of those vampires." The thick eyebrows and big eyes continue to be impassioned.

Trade union!

That's right, Lan Fang really has a union at the moment.
