Chapter 140: Blueprint

The news of Liu Wuguang's defeat soon spread throughout Sichuan, and the provincial government and the military headquarters of the 17th Army of the Revolutionary Army issued another telegram, urging Yang E, Deng Donghou, and the rest of Liu Wuguang in the Xikang area to surrender.

On December 15, the remnants of Liu Wuguang in Xichang and Kangding surrendered to Cai Hua in Yunnan, and the troops joined the battle sequence of the Yunnan Revolutionary Army.

On the 17th, Yang E and Deng Donghou, who had lost Chongqing, were sent to the field by telegram, and the troops were disbanded on the spot.

Xie Niancheng handed over all the matters of the transfer of troops to the General Staff, and the reorganization of the troops could not be carried out until the next batch of German weapons arrived, and Xie Niancheng was busy preparing for the reform of Sichuan.

The parliament, which was originally scheduled to be convened on the 20th, was postponed until the 30th because eastern and southern Sichuan were included in the sphere of influence of the revolutionary army, and there were many members of the parliament in those places.

Zhao Ke told the professors at the German university about Xie Niancheng's idea, and the professors were very interested in many of the concepts. The professors also put forward a lot of suggestions on how to implement Xie Niancheng's several plans, which really helped Xie Niancheng a lot.

Reform is always difficult, in Xie Niancheng's heart, the reform plan he proposed, except for the abolition of slavery, everyone will have no loss, but there are almost no people who believe in him.

From the Han Empire to the Republic, Sichuan's economic system has basically not changed, and it is difficult to convince the gentry with just one mouth.

Everyone thought that Xie Niancheng should be in a state of pride now, but Yang Yuwei and Ye Xiaoqiu, who were closest to him, knew that Xie Niancheng was in a hurry.

Xie Niancheng now hated himself for not caring much about history and politics in that time and space, and now he really didn't know what to do.

Sichuan's industrial base is too poor and too weak.

Heavy industry. Coal, steel, and machinery manufacturing are all absent. The infrastructure is very poor, even between Chengdu and Chongqing, there are no cement or asphalt roads. In terms of manpower, there are not many workers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blank slate.

Xie Niancheng has spent the past few days thinking.

He didn't have time, and Han didn't have time to slowly change from an agrarian country to an industrial country in about a hundred years, as Britain and the United States did, even if it took Japan thirty years. The Han Kingdom can't afford it.

How can Sichuan be industrialized in the shortest possible time?

The last thing Xie Niancheng could think of was to imitate the industrialization of the rabbit country, but Xie Niancheng was interested in how to achieve the initial industrialization of the rabbit country. There are only a few conceptual impressions: there are a large number of Soviet and Russian experts to guide technology, there are Soviet and Russian aid equipment, and there are almost infinite manpower.

How to solve these problems? Xie Niancheng couldn't find a clue for a while.

After a few days of thinking, Xie Niancheng's mind became more and more confused: carrying out land reform to release manpower, establishing a bank to issue paper money to obtain gold and silver, organizing troops to stabilize political power, how to arrange the power structure of the new government, and training cadres to take over local political power......

Countless questions were entangled together, like a mess, Xie Niancheng only felt that his head was getting more and more painful.

Yang Yuwei and Ye Xiaoqiu sorted out the work that Xie Niancheng did in the early stage. They all felt that the achievements were huge: the land consolidation of the 100,000-acre industrial park was basically completed, German experts had trained thousands of workers, and the exploration team had discovered iron ore and coal mines in the Chongqing area......

The two saw Xie Niancheng's sad face. It's all secretly heartache.

Yang Yuwei and Ye Xiaoqiu glanced at each other, and sat down next to Xie Niancheng.

"Nian Cheng, what are you thinking? Now a qiē is very smooth? Yang Yuwei asked softly.

"Yuwei, I have too many things on my mind, I don't know where to start now, how can I not be in a hurry."

Xie Niancheng's plan, it can be said that no one understands it except himself, but Ye Xiaoqiu understands. Xie Niancheng now has absolute authority in Sichuan, and he can do whatever he wants. But if everyone doesn't understand Xie Niancheng's intentions, this thing will not be done well.

"Nian Cheng, no matter how many things you do, you can do them one by one, don't be too anxious, your body is important." Ye Xiaoqiu comforted.

"Sister Xiaoqiu is right, don't think so much about it first, you tell me what you want to do in order, and Sister Xiaoqiu and I will help you come up with ideas?"

Xie Niancheng's plan is really a bit scattered and unsystematic, so it is normal for no one to understand it.

Yang Yuwei's words inspired Xie Niancheng.

"yes, I can't do everything well, but I can't do it, I think, what the hell should I do?"

Ye Xiaoqiu got up and took a notebook, preparing to record Xie Niancheng's words.

Xie Niancheng began to fully describe his thoughts: "To develop industry, we need labor, equipment, and technology. ”

"To have labor, we must first have enough food to ensure that we can transfer labor from the agricultural sector...... In the case of a decrease in the labor force, in order to ensure the output of agricultural products in Sichuan, it is necessary to increase productivity...... Increasing productivity can be accomplished by improving the enthusiasm of workers and improving labor technology, that is, by land reform and the promotion of agricultural technology! ”

Ye Xiaoqiu wrote in his notebook: The primary task - land reform.

"With the labor force, equipment and technology are not available for the time being, we will first engage in infrastructure construction...... Large-scale road construction, and strive to build roads in all cities in Sichuan...... At the same time, it is necessary to complete the preliminary construction of coal mines and iron mines. ”

-- After there is a labor force, they will build roads and open mines.

"With enough agricultural products as a guarantee, it is necessary to develop heavy industry...... Heavy industry requires a lot of equipment and technicians, and these require money...... Buying equipment and hiring personnel from Germany, the United States, you can only use hard currency, that is, precious metals! Therefore, all precious metals must be collected, but not free of charge, banks must be opened and paper money must be issued. ”

-- Opening banks and issuing banknotes.

"Heavy industry is run by the government, but there is no output in the short term, and the government, the army, need money...... To carry out land reform, it is necessary to abolish the agricultural tax so that the landlords and peasants can have sufficient enthusiasm to participate...... Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the development of light industry in order to exchange agricultural products from the rural areas and to obtain tax revenues from the light industry...... However, the government cannot control the development of light industry, so it can only let the landless landlords and existing businessmen engage in light industry. ”

-- Develop light industry, obtain tax revenue, and obtain agricultural products.

"The premise of doing these things is that there must be absolute execution, then we must ensure that the army and the police have control over the whole Sichuan, but it costs too much money to raise soldiers, and the scale of the military and police must be controlled at a reasonable scale."

-- Organizing and training military and police officers.

"If we want long-term development and cohesion, we must develop medical care and education...... Education should consider the implementation of nine-year compulsory education, increase the intensity of scientific education, and open hospitals for medical care, and at the same time open several medical schools in combination with hospitals. ”

-- Running education and opening medical schools.

"If you want to do these things, the people who do them must have the ability and cannot abandon the public for private reasons, so you must establish a reasonable power structure, a reasonable salary system, and a reasonable supervision system."

-- Personnel system.

"It seems like that's all there is to it." Xie Niancheng said.

Yang Yuwei took a large piece of paper and listed all these things.

"Nian Cheng, you prioritize these things, and then think about it, wouldn't it be nice to let someone do these things?"

Xie Niancheng rubbed his head and looked at the words written on the white paper, there were not many words on it, but none of them were easy to do.

"Well, the council will be in a few days, let's set the order of these things."

Yang Yuwei and Ye Xiaoqiu looked at this blank piece of paper, and a sense of pride welled up in their hearts.

This thin piece of paper may be able to decide the fate of 50 million people in Sichuan.

For Xie Niancheng, although the feelings of the two are complicated, they are still similar, they are all worship, admiration, and so on.

"In this world, how can there be such a good man?"

Thinking of this, the two exchanged glances, and then they both lowered their heads a little embarrassed, ready to help Xie Niancheng make a plan.

Xie Niancheng quickly started to use his brain:

"At the parliament held this month, we will strive to formulate policies for land reform and currency reform, and complete the construction of the political system."

"In January next year, I will lead people to preside over the land reform of Shuangyang and Hualiu, and strive to complete it in half a month, and promote it throughout the province after completion."

"At the same time as the land reform, the preliminary construction work of banks in various places will be started."

"In February next year, the whole province will begin to collect grain, land reform, currency reform, and army reorganization."

"In March next year, the land reform and currency reform must be completed, and all localities will arrange plans for industrial development according to resources."

"In April, I took people out of Sichuan to buy equipment and hire personnel, and Sichuan strengthened agricultural production, built roads, opened mines, and built schools and hospitals at the same time."

"From July, industrial construction will be carried out in full swing."

After reading this short schedule, Xie Niancheng asked, "Yuwei, do you have any problems over there?" ”

Yang Yuwei is in charge of finance, "In the first three months of work, the money on my side should be enough, if the currency reform can be successful, there will be no problem in the next qiē...... The biggest problem I may have on my side right now is the collection of precious metals. ”

"You can rest assured that there is a Huaxing Society and the Secret Service, and I believe that the collection of precious metals will not travel cuò."

Yang Yuwei nodded.

Xie Niancheng asked again, "Xiaoqiu, where are you?" ”

Ye Xiaoqiu's next workload is very large, and she will be responsible for the initial construction of the Sichuan highway network and the preliminary construction of the Chongqing coal mine and iron mine together with German experts.

"There is no problem in planning now, that is, after the official start of construction, there must be enough food."

Collecting enough food is the basis of Xie Niancheng's entire reform plan. The increase in grain production after the land reform will not be effective until the beginning of autumn. During the months of scarcity, food supplies must be sufficient.

On the one hand, there is enough food for millions of people who come out of the countryside to work. On the other hand, paper money is directly linked to grain, and although Xie Niancheng intends to control grain for a certain extent, in order to stabilize the price of grain and the value of the currency, it is necessary to have sufficient reserves.

"No problem, look at me."

"You don't plan to buy food!" Yang Yuwei said.

"Hehe, wait and see, I'll let you see what capital operation is!" (To be continued......)
