Chapter 322 Mining Development
For Yu Wanling, this job is not only to continue to be active in the top of the political circles, but also to maintain a realistic need to make a living.
Leaving those few boring people, Yu Wanling looked around for a while, and then saw Fang Ruolian in front of her talking to a few female dependents, she was Lianbu and walked over, when she was about to arrive, she took a deep breath, and then squeezed out a faint smile and stepped forward: "Madam!" ”
Fang Ruolian turned her head to look, and when she saw Fang Ruolian coming, she stretched out her hand and pulled her: "You can come here, we were talking about forming a song and dance troupe just now, Wanling, you are a person who has studied dance, come and tell us, is it better to choreograph ballet, or to choreograph modern dance!" ”
Fang Ruolian listened while looking at the female dependents of these officials, these female dependents are relatively young, and several of them also know Fang Ruolian, one is the wife of Major General Shi Yanglin, director of the Operations Division, the other is the wife of Lu Weixiang, the other is the wife of Lu Weixiang, the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the other is the eldest daughter of Zhao E, the chief of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
Looking at the many military and political dignitaries present and the female dependents they brought, they are actually relatively young, mainly because the Soviet military and political dignitaries present today are relatively young.
As a sub-faction of the Beiyang system, the military and political dignitaries in it, like the officials in the entire Beiyang system, are actually very young, not only Zhao Dongyun himself is less than thirty years old, but most of the other military and political dignitaries are also between thirty and forty years old, and there are relatively few people in their forties and fifties.
Fortunately for the military, some of the senior generals are still relatively old, many of them are over 40 years old, but the senior officials in the civilian system are even younger.
When it comes to military, political and civilian officials, it is generally a military person who makes people feel more youthful, but in today's Soviet system, in fact, the military class is a relatively older group of people, and the general senior generals are over 40 years old, and even the school officer class is mostly in their thirties and forties.
However, in the civil service system, those grassroots officials who follow the pre-Qing era are older, but the high-level officials, especially the senior officials in the cabinet, are younger than the other.
For example, Xiong Xiling, the premier of the cabinet, although he is older than Zhao Dongyun, is only 37 years old this year; Wang Zhixin, chief of the Ministry of Police, is 39 years old; Xiang Rui, vice minister of industry and commerce, is only 35 years old; Chen Zhenxian, chief minister of agriculture and forestry, is 31 years old; and Shi Zhaoji, chief minister of communications, is only 30 years old.
Looking at the age of these people, we can know that there are young people in charge of the contemporary Soviet civil officials, and there are very few old officials in their sixties and seventies, and among the senior officials, there are quite a few officials who studied abroad, and two of the people mentioned above are from international students, such as Chen Zhenxian was born in the United States, and Xiang Rui was born in Japan.
These officials themselves are young, and their wives are naturally not old women, so the wives of these high-ranking officials seen today are still mainly young ladies.
Although these young ladies said that their status was different from the past, but to be honest, they were much more foolish than those diplomatic ministers, Yu Wanling continued to smile, and then said: "This ballet has the benefits of ballet, modern dance has the benefits of modern dance, I rehearsed a few dance dramas with my sister the year before last, if everyone is interested, I will call my sister to come with me when the time comes, and then I will rehearse and see!" ”
When Yu Wanling was talking, the corner of her eye happened to see Zhao Dongyun not far away gathering with several cabinet officials, muttering in her heart, I don't know what they are talking about? I shouldn't talk about parental shortcomings and singing and dancing dramas like my own people!
When Yu Wanling and Fang Ruolian talked about how to choreograph the dance troupe, Zhao Dongyun on the other side also got together with Zhao E, Fang Biyong, Chen Zhenxian, and Yang Debiao, which made several big men get together to discuss Naturally, it was not a short family that they were in this position, even if they were chatting, it was also a military affair.
"Duoshi, I heard that your Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has been making a big move recently, and you plan to immigrate millions of people from Shandong and Henan to the northeast to reclaim fields, and this kind of trick is not easy!" When Zhao E spoke, his tone was a little relaxed, and today's occasion didn't have to be so strict, so even if Zhao Dongyun was in front of him, Zhao E was a little relaxed.
When Chen Zhenxian heard Zhao E say this, he immediately smiled: "This difficulty is naturally not small, but it is also due to the cooperation of the local governments in the three eastern provinces, and many prefectures and counties there have been trying to develop local areas from immigration in the past two years, which has also made a lot of efforts from it!" ”
Although the three eastern provinces are rich in various resources, especially land resources, it has always been difficult to develop due to the limited population, while at the same time, Shandong, Henan and other inland provinces have many people and little land, and many farmers dream of owning their own land, which is why the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has been committed to the resettlement and reclamation of land in the three eastern provinces.
Since the military took control of these provinces, the government that followed the army could not wait to carry out large-scale recruitment of immigrants, recruiting a large number of landless peasants in the three provinces of Guannai to open up the wasteland.
Although today is a private occasion, Zhao Dongyun still said: "The recent work of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is still worthy of recognition, and the resettlement and reclamation of land have been done well, but the provinces in the Guannai have just gone through the war, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry must also vigorously do a good job to ensure that the autumn harvest work is carried out smoothly!" ”
Chen Zhenxian said: "As the Ministry knows, in September, we have sent a number of working groups to various provinces to guide local governments and counties to help farmers carry out autumn harvest work!" ”
Contemporary China is still a veritable agricultural country, agriculture can be said to be the foundation of the country, this autumn harvest is not only related to the livelihood of farmers in the coming year, but also related to the collection of national agricultural tax. After the autumn harvest, a new round of autumn agricultural taxes will have to be collected at the same time, and these agricultural taxes will be able to greatly alleviate the current financial predicament.
However, today is a private occasion, and it is not suitable to continue to talk about these issues in depth, so Zhao Dongyun only asked a few casual questions, and then turned the topic to other aspects, but even if Zhao Dongyun was restrained, the topic still inevitably continued to talk about many affairs of work, even if Zhao E and others looked relaxed, but in fact, they were carefully considered.
When Zhao Dongyun left, and then walked to the others to talk, these people all relaxed in unison, and the expressions on their faces looked much more natural.
Zhao E said: "Brother Duoshi, your immigration work and autumn harvest work are going on steadily, unlike my side where there is a lot of trouble!" ”
However, Yang Debiao on the side laughed: "Look at what you said, Brother Zhao, others don't know, don't I know, don't I know, the development plan for the development of Chahar iron ore mine submitted by you earlier has been greatly appreciated by the president, and it has just been approved!" ”
Zhao E said: "Although the plan for the development of this iron ore mine has been approved, the specific development difficulty is not small, Secretary Yang, you also know that now we are financially tight, which may not be able to be developed by relying on official shares, and it is not easy to attract investment and development!" ”
"What's so difficult about this, I heard that Tangshan Iron and Steel Company is not interested?" Although Yang Debiao is not a member of the cabinet, he is the first secretary of the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace, and his political status in the Soviet civil service system is not lighter than that of the chief ministers of these internal ministries, so he has a lot of contact with affairs, not only in the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, but also in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
In fact, the Chahar iron ore development plan submitted by Zhao E's Ministry of Industry and Commerce was still drafted by him personally!
"Not to mention the Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, although they also submitted a bidding document, the promised investment amount is only 300,000 yuan, and this 300,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for the development of iron ore!"
Yang Debiao was puzzled: "There is no shortage of money in this Tangshan iron mine, how can you take a mere 300,000 yuan for investment?" ”
Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, its predecessor was the attached steel plant of Fuyuanji Factory, but with the increasing scale of Fuyuanji Factory, it also needs to concentrate on the military industry, so it has become independent of many affiliated manufacturers before, and this affiliated steel plant has become independent Tangshan Iron and Steel Company.
The iron and steel company relies on Tangshan's coal and iron resources, coupled with the capital and technical resources behind the Fuyuanji plant, and soon it is rising, and the steel output is rising, and its steel output is not only used to meet the steel needs of military enterprises such as Fuyuanji Qì factory, but also relies on the private steel market, especially the steel required for the construction of railways and large-scale infrastructure projects, Fushun branch railway, Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway and even the railroad orders required for the Jinghan Railway before.
Even the construction projects such as the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and the Longhai Railway planned by the Ministry of Communications require the introduction of foreign investment, but they are also prepared to use domestic steel rails in the contract.
A large number of steel demand from the people has made Tangshan Iron and Steel Company live very moist, making a lot of profits every year, such a company with huge assets and high profits to invest in iron ore development, it is impossible to come up with tens of millions, but one or two million is still not a big problem, and now there are only 300,000, which is obviously abnormal.
Zhao E said: "Don't mention it, this Tangshan Iron and Steel Company's appetite is too big, they not only bid for the development plan of Chahar Iron Mine, but also bid for the development of Anshan Iron Mine, this shot is a huge two million yuan, there is still money left to invest in Chahar Iron Mine!" ”
"In this way, it seems that their appetite is really not small, but the development plan of Anshan Iron Mine is huge, and it is difficult for them to eat it alone, right?" Yang Debiao frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that the capital chain will be broken?" ”
Zhao E said: "The scale of the iron ore discovered in Anshan is huge, and they will definitely not be able to swallow it if they want to fully develop it, but now it is only the first phase of development, and we have also tendered for the development rights of a few mining areas, and I heard that they are in contact with several foreign companies to raise funds!" ”
"This mining business is related to the interests of the nation, and I am afraid that this joint venture with foreign capital will cause a lot of trouble in the future!" Yang Debiao sighed after hearing this, the Chinese people of this era are extremely wary of attracting foreign capital investment, and they will be scolded as traitors if they are not careful.
