Early May 1919. The climate in the Mongolian steppes is already very pleasant, and as far as the eye can see, you can see the endless green steppes and herds of nomadic cattle and sheep. It was at such a time that Kolchak and his followers arrived in the Mongolian province (which had just been upgraded to a province) belonging to China, when the White Russian army still had more than 400,000 troops and nearly 800,000 refugees! Among them were about 250,000 Orthodox clergy, more than 200,000 women and children (mainly women of the White Russian aristocracy), and the rest were intellectuals, businessmen, and officials of the former Russian government who had been evacuated from the western regions of Russia. In this way, the long march stretched for dozens of kilometers on the road from Irkutsk to Kulen, slowly advancing.

The reason why it is the 257th founding outline and admirers still have a monthly pass? The slow advance was mainly due to the fact that the more than one million people had barely had enough to eat, and because the "confused" Nationalist Government of the "Chinese" country forgot to transport enough salt to Mongolia, and the grain brought in was only enough to maintain a minimum supply, so these Belarusian refugees and soldiers were a little dizzy and weak, and for this reason, Lieutenant General Zhao Zhen, the chief of the Mongolian provincial government and security commander of the "Chinese" country who came to the Sino-Russian border to meet Kolchak, apologized for a long time and promised to do his best to transport the necessary materials to himHowever, these assurances seem to have all been drained, and the supply situation has not improved at all.

But Kolchak and the officials of the Provisional White Russian government did not reproach the young "Chinese" general too much, they did have a little more people, and Mongolia was too poor to provide for these refugees. All the supplies were transported from Zhangjiakou to Mongolia by horses, and considering the long distance and the consumption on the road, the Chinese people were able to do their best.

In addition, the hunger along the way also made the top brass of this white Russian wandering army realize that it seemed unrealistic to want to occupy Mongolia as a base for counterattacking Russia. Is there still a monthly pass to expel this 257th founding outline and worshippers? The Mongols on the land and the government army of the Chinese country did not have much difficulty, but it was too difficult to let these more than a million people survive in Mongolia, and it was estimated that they could not wait for the Bolshevik Red Army to fight: "Everyone is already starving to death!"

It seems that the big guy can only obediently go to the country to seek refuge in China according to the agreement, and as for the counteroffensive, he can only slowly think of a way.

At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Forces were being transported from the south by train in Chahar. Chang Ruiqing, vice chairman of the Military Commission, who had just finished participating in the "Second National Congress" of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also personally went north to Zhangjiakou to take up the town. In order to guard against the defeat of Kolchak's more than 400,000 remnants, the Military Council mobilized six armies of national defense forces and deployed them along the Great Wall in the Zhangjiakou area. Even the 72 1918 155mm heavy howitzers that had just arrived from the United States and were equipped with the troops were all brought to Zhangjiakou.

After arranging preparedness and counterattack preparations in case of emergency. Chang Ruiqing came to Beijing again, ready to discuss with Sun Yat-sen, who still had not finished his northern tour, how to use "Kolchak gold"

things up.

Although these 500 tons of gold are a windfall, Chang Ruiqing does not plan to give them out indiscriminately. In his previous life, our Chang Da revolutionist was also quite interested in the economic history of the Republic of China. He knew where the main problems of the Chinese economy were at that time" and why the Nationalist government did not build up the necessary heavy industry during their so-called "golden decade", so that it suffered enough in the later War of Resistance Against Japan.

As a person who studies history and understands history, Chang Ruiqing will not simply summarize the problem as the Kuomintang ** or Jiang Jshi is too bad, uh, in his opinion, the Kuomintang was not too ** before the Anti-Japanese War, and the reason why Jiang Jshi failed was probably because it was not bad enough, right?

The reason why the Nationalist Government was unable to build a lifting industry at that time was "not that it didn't want to, but that it couldn't do anything about it." Due to the shackles of unequal treaties, the lack of financial resources, the chaos of the financial system, and the successive years of civil war, "especially the blows dealt to the Kuomintang reactionaries by the ten-year war of land revolution, their finances were very tight, and they did not have a slight surplus until 1936, after the Red Army's Long March went to northern Shaanxi." In fact, in the early days of the Nationalist Government's unification of the whole country, they drew up a plan for the construction of heavy industry, but they were unable to implement it. And the person who made this plan is now sitting in the living room of Zhongnanhai Jurentang with Chang Ruiqing, waiting for Sun Yat-sen's arrival, this person is Kong Xiangxi.

Before Sun Yat-sen's arrival, Chang Ruiqing and Kong Xiangxi exchanged their views on the revival of China's economy in a low voice. Although Kong Xiangxi served as the economic steward of the Chiang J-shi regime for a long time in history, although he himself could do business, he was not proficient in economics. In fact, he has a master's degree in physics and chemistry, "I studied mineralogy at Yale University in the United States, and I should be competent as the Minister of Energy and the Minister of Coal Industry.

And this time, the purpose of Kong Xiangxi's visit to Beijing is actually related to the country's economic construction!

It turned out that Sun Yat-sen was drumming up a "Founding Outline" during this time, and I wonder if it was intended to be used to confront Chang Ruiqing's leftist "peopleism"? Kong Xiangxi as an "economic expert" (can do business and understand the economy?) It was to help Sun Yat-sen formulate the "Outline for the Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Of course, "the "Outline of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in this time and space is completely different from the one in history. The historical "Outline for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a very principled thing, and in this time and space, Sun Yat-sen seems to want to come up with a very comprehensive and "more practical statecraft" strategy.

In the conversation between Tong Guò and Kong Xiangxi, Chang Ruiqing also found that this new version of the "Outline for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" incorporates many elements of national socialism. In the interpretation of the people's livelihood, it is particularly emphasized that the government's intervention in the economy on behalf of the state, the management of the economy, and the direction of economic development are the key to ensuring people's livelihood! It is further proposed that in order to ensure national security, national independence, and the victory of the national revolution, the national government should first develop heavy chemical industries such as iron and steel, military industry, chemical industry, mining, and shipbuilding, and the government should try by all means to raise funds and strive to build heavy chemical industry enterprises with the help of friendly countries......

It seems that Sun Yat-sen planned to use all the gold of Kolchak to build heavy industry! This is a good idea, of course. However, in Chang Ruiqing's view, the matter of economic construction is not so simple, and it is not blindly invested in funds, and the construction of factories can make the country rich and strong.

Therefore, after the national government gets the gold, the first thing to do is not to invest and open factories immediately, but to use this gold to rectify the investment environment of China and firmly grasp the lifeblood of the national economy!

When the two talked quietly, "Sun Yat-sen walked in with Song Qingling and his "adopted daughter" Sun Yuexun (Miyagawa Fumiko) Xiao Luo with a smile.

Chang Ruiqing and Kong Xiangxi hurriedly got up and saluted. Sun Yat-sen smiled and beckoned the two to sit down, and after the guests and hosts sat down, he pointed to Chang Ruiqing and introduced to Xiao Luo next to him: "Xun'er, this is General Chang Ruiqing, that is, Zuo Min!" He said to Chang Ruiqing again: "Yaoru, this is my adopted daughter Sun Yuexun...... She is your admirer, the head of the Leftist People's Research Association in the Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School. ”

"Comrade Zuo Min, I am your admirer Sun Yuexun, please take care of me." Xiao Luo stood up with reverence on her face and gave Chang Ruiqing a respectful bow.

Of course, Chang Ruiqing knew that he had such an admirer, but his spy was still closely monitoring Xiao Luo! She has several classmates in the Chinese and Western Girls' School, and the teacher is an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau! In the Huā Garden of the Song Family, where Xiao Luo Lì lived, there were also spies placed by the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the spies monitored them for several months, and the only conclusion they came to was that Xiao Luo Lì was really the most fervent admirer of Chang Da's Revolution! Maybe not!

Not only did she quarrel with Sister Song because she said anything bad about Chang Ruiqing, but she also positioned her life goal on Chang Ruiqing's personal secretary early! To this end, she also tried her best to collect all the articles or speeches published by Chang Ruiqing, and found many books on national socialism and democratic socialism, and drummed up a book of "Research on Leftist Nationalism"! Although the above points are still relatively naïve, "I don't really understand the essence of leftist populism (if there is such a thing), but considering that she is only a teenage girl, it is really not easy.

In addition, Xiao Luo would write a letter to Chang Ruiqing every week, confiding in him about her admiration for him, and some of her own experiences with leftist peopleism...... However, Chang Ruiqing did not reply to her letters, and these letters were also stored in a secret file specially established for her in the archives of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

However, now that he has met Xiao Luo's face, Chang Ruiqing is not good at rejecting people thousands of miles away with a suspicious face, and of course it is not good to be overly enthusiastic, so as not to let Sun Yat-sen suspect that he has any bad motives. He just smiled faintly and nodded at Xiao Luo: "Hello, Miss Sun." ”

After Xiao Luo said hello to her idol, she flashed behind Sun Yat-sen with a red face, and a pair of big eyes that could talk but never left Chang Ruiqing's body, but Xiao Luo's mind was not what the three big men in this room should care about.

Sun Yat-sen probably already knew that Chang Ruiqing and Kong Xiangxi had talked about the "Outline of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and he asked with a smile: "Kolchak's gold will soon be in hand...... Yongzhi made some plans for me, preparing to build a large coal mine in Datong, Shanxi, and then develop the iron ore in Shijingshan, and set up a large-scale steel plant with an annual output of one million tons! Shanghai will also build shipyards and chemical plants, Daye will also open steel mills, Jiangxi will open copper factories, and the national arsenals will also have a plan to expand.... Yaoru, what do you think? ”

Chang Ruiqing shook his head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sir, my subordinates feel that the matter of building the country must be done step by step...... Large-scale investment cannot be made without considering economic benefits, and such development is not sustainable if hundreds of millions of dollars are built with a lot of loss-making factories. Although subordinates also believe that the power of the government and the state should be used to intervene in the economy, guide the economy, and even directly invest in the opening of factories. But this must be based on careful scientific planning...

On the basis of this, it is not yet time to formulate a plan for the overall economic development and investment in heavy industry, after all, we have not yet completely taken over the whole of China"...

Chang Ruiqing knew that the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union in history was formulated at the end of 1928, and it had been eight years since the end of the civil war in Soviet Russia!

Sun Yat-sen sighed, turned his head to look at Kong Xiangxi: "Yongzhi, what do you think?" ”

Kong Xiangxi had already exchanged views with Chang Ruiqing just now, and he also had a new idea: "Sir, my subordinates have discussed this issue with General Chang Yaoru just now. General Yaoru's idea is not to be busy setting up factories first, but to straighten out things in the system.

First of all, we should take advantage of the opportunity of this batch of gold to carry out a comprehensive monetary reform, take back the right to issue notes from Chinese and foreign banks, and establish a central bank. On the basis of the note-issuing business of the Bank of China, a gold-standard Chinese dollar was issued, and the silver dollar was gradually withdrawn from the market in two to three years...... The value of the newly issued Chinese dollar should be referenced to the current silver dollar, which can be determined at one-third of the US dollar. If Huayuan can fully replace the silver dollars and silver currently on the market, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for 15 to 2 billion silver dollars and 200 million taels of silver! These are worth about $700 million to $800 million, and with the gold in our hands, the country's gold, foreign exchange, and silver reserves are equivalent to 12

100 million to 1.3 billion dollars! It is enough to meet all the foreign exchange needs of the country's industrialization.

At the same time, we must also rectify various types of financial exchanges throughout the country and establish a unified joint exchange in Shanghai to be responsible for the buying, selling, and trading of stocks, bonds, and commodities. and the formulation of relevant legal rules and the establishment of the Financial Supervision Commission.

Second, it is necessary to rebuild China's fiscal and taxation system, take back the autonomy of tariffs, and implement protective tariffs that are beneficial to domestic industrial investment: abolish the cents that hinder the circulation of commodities, introduce a unified value-added tax, levy consumption tax on some luxury goods, and levy a reasonable resource tax on all kinds of mineral products; At the same time, it is also necessary to establish an open and transparent financial expenditure management system, and fiscal expenditure must not be a confused account, and it must not only be subject to the examination of the accounting department of the national government, but also make the expenditure budget and accounts open to the entire population for supervision.

Third, we should take two to three years to complete the social reform nationwide and extend the perpetual tenant system to the whole country. In order to achieve the cultivator's eternal field, the greatest degree of dù elimination of the risk of social revolution. While promoting land reform, we must also push forward the building of political power to the township level. At the same time, it is also necessary to rely on the township and town governments to establish a national mobilization system, strengthen the management of the people, and study and implement the identity card management system.

Fourth, we should establish a system of compulsory, vocational education, and secondary and higher education that covers all people. Among them, compulsory education should refer to the system of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and establish the most basic four-year compulsory education. In addition to the four-year compulsory education, national higher primary and secondary schools should be established in all prefectures, and national universities should be established in all provincial and large cities. All of these national primary and secondary schools and universities will provide free education! And there is only one criterion for admission, that is, the exam, and everyone is equal in front of the score. At the same time, it is also necessary to encourage the non-governmental sector, including foreign churches, to start primary, secondary and university schools with a higher level of education, and the government should not ask whether these schools charge fees and how to recruit students. At the same time, we should also establish a system of vocational education to train qualified workers for our industry and business. In addition, when we build an education system, we must also rely on national and private universities across the country to establish our own scientific research system.........

Fifth, the country's laws and legislative system should also be established in a timely manner, including the central and local public opinion representative system. What we are now practicing is the legislative, executive,

The judiciary is concentrated in the government. There is no problem with such a system being implemented in some areas for a short period of time. However, it is impossible to implement it in a huge "China" country for a long time, so an independent judicial and legislative system must be gradually established. Of course, for a long time to come, the election of representatives of the people will not be able to be elected by popular vote. Because most of the people in our country are uneducated, they do not know how to exercise their "democratic" rights...... In addition, there is the system of law, and we should refer to the laws of the Second German Reich (a country with a state of state socialism) to formulate the laws of the period of discipline. Because the laws of the Second German Reich were more conducive to the establishment of a strong state than the laws of Britain and the United States, they were suitable for the current national conditions of our country.

Sixthly, we should create a special commission to develop a plan for the construction of heavy industry and the defense industry.

These plans... It must be formulated by experts after taking into account our national conditions and conducting a comprehensive investigation of our country's resources, communications, and national defense, and it must not be arbitrarily decided by us laymen,........., and this special committee can be called the State Planning Commission, which should be jointly managed by the Government Council and the Military Commission.

Seventh, since in the future, we will definitely be directly involved in the construction and management of the country's heavy industry, so we should establish some new ministries, such as the Ministry of Energy, which is responsible for coal, oil extraction, power plant construction, refinery construction, and oil reserves, the Ministry of Metallurgy, which is responsible for the mining and processing of iron and steel and non-ferrous metals, and the Ministry of Heavy Industry, which is responsible for the manufacturing and production of machinery, shipbuilding, automobiles, aircraft, etc. ”

When Kong Xiangxi finished talking about Chang Ruiqing's complete set of "founding methods", Sun Yat-sen also began to admire Chang Ruiqing in his heart. This guy really has a way, not only is the conspiracy and doctrine a set, but also in terms of actual governance strategy, he is definitely the first in China! I definitely can't compare to others, let alone the Northeast King Jiang Jshi!!
