Article 521 Life Money
At the same time, in the Zhongshan Jiang Jshi Mansion, Lao Jiang Zheng was holding a draft campaign program that had just been drafted with a smile on his face, looking at it over and over, and sneering left and right: "Talking empty words, singing high-profile, finding faults, and secretly dragging its feet, it seems that our opposition party can still do something." ”
"What Gong J said is very true." Chen Guofu said with a smile: "If our party is still nostalgic for a nominal coalition ruling position, dare not say anything, cannot do anything, and sooner or later become a vassal of GCD, it is best in the interests of our party to choose to be in the opposition." ”
"J Shi, Meiling believes that our party should vote for the voters, and put forward two major goals: tax reduction and people's livelihood." Although Sister Song Yujie, who was a guest at Jiang Jshi's house, has a sister who is a member of the Central Political Affairs Bureau, she is still a loyal Kuomintang, and on the issue of the election campaign involving the fundamental interests of the Kuomintang, the first royal sister of the Republic of China still resolutely stands on the position of opposing the party and socialism, so the royal sister insidiously said to the old Jiang Jianyi: "On the issue of tax reduction, our party should not only be limited to reducing or reducing agricultural taxes, but should also further propose to reduce the rates of unified tax, commercial tax and income tax. On the issue of people's livelihood, we should put forward the slogan of establishing a welfare society and a society of great harmony, and set the implementation of the old-age insurance, medical insurance, and unemployment insurance systems as the party's goal of struggle. ”
"The method is good, Guofu and Lifu, you can draft the second draft of the campaign program according to the third lady's proposal."
Old Jiang smiled and instructed the two brothers of the Chen family, and the two brothers who were very famous in history are now Jiang Jshi's staff. This time, the Kuomintang's election program was drafted by the two of them, and Song Wen on the other side still had a little view of the overall situation, frowning and said: "Brother J Shi." At present, the government's annual revenue is only 1 billion yuan, and its expenditure is nearly 2 billion yuan, and it is in deficit every year. ”
"Second brother, Chang Yaoru won't listen to us. After next year's general election, the GCD will be the only ruling party, and our Kuomintang will only be an opposition party. Song Meiling said in a sour tone: "They are all high-ranking officials in the court, and they are in power. Are we still not allowed to sing high-pitched songs in the opposition party? ”
"The issues of the election campaign are complex, and voters are concerned about many issues, not only welfare and taxes, but also domestic affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, and many other aspects." Song Wen raised his face and taught his sister: "My country is also facing the threat of joint invasion by the Soviet Union and Japan. After the Persian Gulf War and the Quinta riots. Some people, especially the intellectuals and the propertied classes, have begun to worry about national security. A rich country and a strong army are what they want, and what kind of welfare society and Datong society mean little to them. Little sister, don't forget, next year's general election is not a universal suffrage for the whole people, but a voter qualification, and the intellectual and propertied classes are the backbone of the voters! Moreover, most of the party fees of our Kuomintang come from intellectual distribution and donations from the propertied class. If they all go to the side of the GCD, our party will win a few more seats. It will also be closed because the party fee is exhausted! ”
Song Meiling frowned and wanted to debate with her brother, but Lao Jiang spoke first: "The text is reasonable, the current international situation is very turbulent, after the Persian War, the Soviet Union has gained momentum, and Britain and the United States have compromised with the Soviet Union, China's security is indeed worrying...... Guofu and Lifu, let's not add the slogan of welfare society and Datong society to the election program. ”
Er Chen agreed again, Song Wen glanced at the puffed little sister, and said to the old Jiang Jianyi: "Brother J Shi, in fact, we should put the banner of national righteousness first. The purpose of our proposal to improve the peasants' living standards is to eliminate the risk of civil strife, not to engage in any kind of welfare society, which is completely unrealistic. Therefore, while proposing to reduce or exempt agricultural taxes, we should also shout the slogan of enriching the country and strengthening the army and resisting the Soviet Union! It put forward the national policy of focusing on strengthening the construction of national defense and heavy industry. ”
Although Jiang Jishi is not a reactionary enemy of the people, he still agrees with it from the bottom of his heart when he hears Song Wen put forward his opposition to the Soviet Union's construction, but thinking that this policy is likely to fall into Chang Ruiqing's hands, Lao Jiang frowned and said: "What Mr. Wen said is naturally reasonable, but Chang Yaoru is probably also playing the same idea......
"J Gong, Mr. Wen's proposal should be adopted." Chen Guofu, Lao Jiang's chief staff at the moment, suddenly interjected and helped Song Wen agitate: "We can be more anti-Soviet than Chang Yaoru!" You can also accuse Chang Yaoru of not being anti-Soviet enough, the Jinta riots are the Soviet Union's war behavior against me, we should declare war on the Soviet Union and unite with Germany to flank the Soviet Union! Even if the Soviet Union is strong and there is no certainty of victory in the war, it is necessary to start preparing for war and gradually transfer the country to a wartime system! ”
"Transition to a wartime system now?"
Jiang Jshi, who was already a little anti-Soviet, finally made up his mind, nodded heavily, and said: "Guofu is reasonable, at this time we can shout the anti-Soviet tone louder." On our campaign platform, we must shout the slogan of preparing for war against the Soviet Union and put forward the strengthening of national defense and heavy industry construction...... But where will the funds come from to prepare for war and speed up the construction of heavy industry? ”
Song Wen pondered and said, "We can't propose a tax increase. However, it could be proposed to raise funds through the sale of public enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Armaments, as well as an increase in the issuance of government bonds. ”
……
As the current dictator of China, Chang Ruiqing has now fully realized what it means to be in charge of every day, and after worrying about the election issue for a while, the dictator Chang Da handled government affairs and military affairs for several hours, and even asked Gao Xiaowen to send dinner to his study to solve it hastily. It wasn't until almost 10 o'clock in the evening that he stretched his waist, finished the main work of the day physically and mentally exhausted, and then went straight to Sun Yuexun's "cell" not far from his study......
Not to mention, when it comes to being well-behaved and pleasing to men. Sun Yuexun, a little beauty, is definitely very skilled, although it is already more than ten o'clock, and Chang Ruiqing has not let people say hello in advance. However, the little beauty still wore a white kimono as thin as a cicada's wings and waited in her "cell", and when she saw Chang Ruiqing coming in, she immediately bowed to the ground and said coquettishly: "Mr. has worked hard, please let Xun'er serve Mr. to rest." ”
Chang Ruiqing yawned and said to Sun Yuexun: "It's still early, let's talk to me first." ”
"Hay." Sun Yuexun smiled. bowed to Chang Ruiqing again, and then stood up obediently and came over to personally dress him. Chang Ruiqing seems to have gotten used to this little beauty, standing there like a big puppet and not moving. Let a pair of jade hands flip up and down, and in a short time, a dictator in a straight military uniform will become a dictator in a nightgown.
After changing his clothes, Chang Ruiqing leaned back on the sofa, and the little beauty brought him hot tea again. Chang Ruiqing held the hot tea. He took a sip. While enjoying Sun Xiaomei's touch, the fatigue of the body gradually eased after a while.
"Sir, now the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association is also preparing for next year's general election." Sun Yuexun seemed to know the question Chang Ruiqing wanted to ask, so he answered it without waiting for him to speak. "The focus of the Co-Prosperity Association in this round of elections is the Far Eastern Republic, and they are ready to win forty percent of the seats in the Parliament of the Far Eastern Republic of China, and they also want Xun'er to represent the Co-Prosperity Association to help in the election."
Speaking of this, the little beauty's eyebrows frowned, and she looked unwilling. Because it is inevitable that she will leave Chang Ruiqing when she goes to the Far East to help in the election, which is something she is absolutely unwilling. Chang Ruiqing understood her thoughts. He held her in his arms. He put it on Sun Yuexun's ear and whispered: "If you don't want to go, you won't go, just stay in Nanjing and let me punish you every day." ”
Sun Yuexun's jade cheeks flushed, and after a while, she replied shyly, "Mr. wants to punish today."
Kaoru? ”
Sun Yuexun's shy appearance made Chang Ruiqing couldn't help but kiss the corner of her lips, and winked at her with a smile: "Whether you want to punish or not depends on Xun'er's appearance, now let's talk about how the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association is going to run." ”
"I can't say anything about preparation." Sun Yuexun chuckled: "The rules of the election in the Far Eastern Republic are different, and the clansmen all have the right to vote, thirty percent of the seats can be securely held, forty percent can be fought for, and no more will be wanted." As for the election platform, it is the Japanese-Chinese alliance and the Han and the family. However, it is not ......"
"But what?"
However, some people put forward the slogan of reconciliation between Japan and China, hoping to promote the future rebellious peace talks between the Federation of Great China and Japan in order to avoid war...... I don't know what these people are thinking? Sun Yuexun said worriedly.
"Who is this slogan?" Chang Ruiqing asked.
"There's Kita Kazuki and Tokuda Koichi."
"What about Okamura Ninji? Did he say anything? ”
"Nope." Sun Yuexun shook her head, frowned and said: "Okamura Ningji's city government is extremely deep, and he doesn't say anything every time he has a meeting, Xun'er can't see what he is thinking?" ”
"It's normal to not be able to see through it, so it seems that the secret funds of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association that I asked you to check don't seem to have any eyebrows?"
"I'm sorry, Kaoru is useless." The little beauty turned her head and looked at Chang Ruiqing with blinking, and said in an inaudible voice: "Please punish ...... sir."
"Well, that's what you said." Chang Ruiqing smiled treacherously, revealing the true face of a pervert, touching her **, pinching her fingers hard, the little beauty suddenly moaned, her breathing became short, and there was a look of fear in her eyes......
……
After enjoying the fragrance of the night, by the morning of the next day, Chang Ruiqing appeared in front of a member of the Political Affairs Bureau full of energy. They are still here to discuss the election platform. At the beginning of the meeting, Chang Ruiqing announced the results of his thinking yesterday afternoon, he decided to start the implementation of socialized old-age security in China, as for the implementation of medical security, the implementation is suspended, because the number of modern hospitals in China is too small, and the majority of people are still the main way to seek medical treatment by taking traditional Chinese medicine, and the current charging standards of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine are too chaotic, and there is really no way to include them in the medical insurance system.
Hearing Chang Ruiqing's decision, Premier Pan Yucheng, who was sitting at the meeting, naturally had a solemn face, Chen Duxiu and Wang Yaqiao, who were in charge of the work of the peasants and workers, were overjoyed, Comrade Li Dazhao just nodded noncommittally, and Song Qingling and Shao Piaoping, who were in charge of the election, nodded again and again, agreeing that Chang Ruiqing used the welfare policy to buy people's hearts. Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, the dictator of Chang Da said: "Since we want to engage in socialized old-age security. So after the new government is formed, the Ministry of Social Security should be established, and who of you is interested in serving as the Minister of Social Security? ”
This time, no one said anything, including Chen Duxiu, who proposed this proposal, did not say anything, and the errand of giving the people of the whole country money for life support is not easy to do. And except for Pan Yucheng, no one in charge of money is the material for money, and everyone is looking at Premier Pan. Pan Yucheng didn't want to be the minister, his goal was the vice premier, so he shirked and said: "Yaoru, the annual funds of the Ministry of Social Security are estimated to be as high as more than one billion yuan, and they must be managed by financial experts with both ability and political integrity." There are only two such talents in the national government, Yan Baichuan and Zhang Junmao, and Zhang Gongquan, the governor of the Bank of China, can also take on this important role. ”
"Pan Gong is right." The Chang Da dictator nodded. However, he did not say who to give this errand to, but pondered for a moment, and then continued: "The issue of socialized pension." I thought about it yesterday. After all, our country is a poor country, and the government does not have the financial resources to pay pensions to retirees who have not paid pension insurance in the past. In order to receive a pension, you must have paid a pension for at least 15 years and be at least 60 years old. Female retirees who have reached the age of 55. This system was planned to be introduced from 1925 or 1926. All Chinese citizens working in public and private enterprises, government agencies, military or public undertakings with a capital of more than 10,000 yuan, men under the age of 45 and women under the age of 40 must be compulsorily insured and pay pension insurance according to their salary, and in the future, their pension will be determined according to the amount of pension insurance paid. Anyone over this age can voluntarily enroll, but must pay a lump sum premium...... For those who are covered by this range, we require the employer and the individual to share the amount of pension insurance contributions. Outside the scope of compulsory insurance, no Chinese citizen can choose to voluntarily participate in insurance. The government will provide a certain amount of subsidies for this category of insured persons......"
Of course, the memories of the dictator of Chang Da also have content about the social security system, so they can roughly piece together an old-age insurance system suitable for China's national conditions in the twenties. After he finished talking about it in a rambling manner. Pan Yucheng seemed to hear something mysterious, and suddenly said with a sigh: "If this method is implemented, doesn't it mean that in the next fifteen years, the Ministry of Social Security will become a money-collecting yamen?" If 30 million people can pay endowment insurance every year, even if the average person pays 100 yuan per year, then the annual income will be 300 million yuan? ”
Chang Ruiqing applauded and laughed: "More than that, more than that, the annual income of 300 million yuan is only the level of the next two years, and now China's economic growth is very fast, the annual growth rate of industrial and commercial production is 20 or 30 percent, and there are more and more industrial and commercial employees, and the income is also increasing rapidly." In the conceivable years, the number of people who pay pension insurance is likely to exceed 50 million, and the average annual payment amount may exceed 200 yuan, so it is conceivable to earn one billion yuan a year! Even after 15 years, the Ministry of Social Security's income will certainly exceed its expenditure, and this situation will continue for many years. Therefore, the pension insurance system can be implemented in China, and it must be implemented! ”
Speaking of this, his tone was already solemn, and he frowned and said, "However, how much money is collected in, we must manage it well and use it well!" It can't be put in the bank to earn interest, it must be invested, and the investment is in the industry with stable income and a very obvious role in promoting the development of China's heavy industry, which I think is the power industry. ”
It turns out that what we Changda dictators mean is to use the money of the Chinese people to build thermal power plants, hydropower stations, power grids, etc., and maybe invest in a few large coal mines. These projects are still the kind of investment that is very large and the results are very slow, but the returns are indeed very stable, and they are also very important for industrial construction.
"Pan Gong," Chang Ruiqing smiled again and looked at his father-in-law, "It is not an easy task to manage such a large amount of money, open so many hydropower stations, thermal power plants, and build power grids. In addition to your old man's personal departure, how many people in our national government can do a good job? It is better for you to be the minister of social security. ”
Not to mention, Chang Ruiqing's old man is indeed a little tempted now, this is a large-scale investment project of hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion yuan every year! Needless to say, how big are the benefits and how big the responsibilities are, right? If it is really given to outsiders, Premier Pan is neither willing nor at ease. So he agreed immediately, and took the opportunity to Chang Ruiqingjian and said: "Yaoru, since you have decided to use the pension insurance paid by the people to build a power plant and a power grid, and let the old man take care of this matter, then you have to give me full authority, all public power enterprises must be under the name of the Ministry of Social Security, and since 1926, we can no longer issue power plant construction licenses to others, and our Ministry of Social Security has to monopolize this matter." However, I can assure you that in the future, the price of electricity in China will not be more expensive than the average electricity price in the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany, and the profits of the electric power companies under the Ministry of Social Security will be satisfactory, and I will be able to get the world's most advanced power generation equipment production technology! ”
Chang Ruiqing knew that his father-in-law had a way, so he nodded immediately and said with a smile: "A word is a certainty, Pan Gong, this matter is decided!" (To be continued.) )
