Chapter 109: The Unfolding of the First Five-Year Plan
As soon as the First Five-Year Plan reached the country, all provinces began to get busy, and many government personnel were sent to investigate, and to carry out these plans, they had to go to the field to examine the situation, and the people in China also began to pay attention to the actions of the First Five-Year Plan.
The construction of the empire will provide a large number of employment opportunities, many peasants who did not get land during the land reform period will have the opportunity to work, and these are several years of projects, one work is a few years, this will give China the opportunity to strive for development, it is estimated that after the completion of these projects, there will be enough jobs for these people.
As soon as China's First Five-Year Plan was reported in Europe and the United States, it attracted a large number of businessmen from all over the world, especially Britain, Germany, France, and the United States.
In order to be able to enter the Chinese market ahead of schedule and seize the opportunity, the United States has always asked its ambassador to China, Willy, to deal with officials in China, and entering the Chinese market ahead of schedule can also increase China's favor, and then the benefits will roll in. After the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, the guests of the United States praised China vigorously, saying that China would be an important partner of the United States, and that China would be an important partner of the United States to restrain Japan, so that the interests of the United States in the Pacific would not be threatened by the Japanese.
Germany was even more moved to see this, the previous cooperation with Huaxia had already made them taste the sweetness, and now such a big cake was impossible to give up there, so the Kaiser sent a telegram to Moltke Jr. to ask him to speed up the negotiations with Huaxia to avoid long nights.
Britain and France also sent telegrams to envoys in China, asking them to negotiate business with the Chinese government, and they were able to obtain the right to build several railways, and it is estimated that the businessmen of these two countries will wake up laughing when they fall asleep, not to mention that there are so many projects.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had just calmed down, began to be lively again, and diplomatic envoys from European and American countries in China all ran to have tea with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, some of them so that businessmen from their own countries could enter China, and some of them came by order of the state.
It was a headache for Wu Yanfang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, because he was not from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Empire, so he didn't know much about these business issues, so he had no choice but to report to the Prime Minister.
Chen Fu was not surprised to receive Wu Yanfang's report, as the prime minister, when he was still the vice chairman of the East China Government, he began to make up all kinds of knowledge about politics and economics, and he also knew a little about economics. But he is also a little confused about so many countries, there are the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, France, the United States and other European and American countries, and even the Japanese want to enter the Chinese market, which makes it difficult for him to deal with, especially Japan, the group of old people who followed Qin Yu are very disgusted with Japan under the influence of Qin Yu, and he never thought about letting Japan enter the Chinese market.
Instinctively, he wanted to ask Qin Yu how to solve this problem, but when he thought that he was also the prime minister now, one person was above ten thousand people, and he couldn't go to His Majesty as soon as he had a problem, he should learn to analyze and be independent, and share a little more responsibility for His Majesty.
After thinking about it for an hour, he finally understood where the funds and resources that His Majesty had said came from, and that it was not possible to let these countries enter the imperial market so quickly, and then wait to see what the conditions offered by the countries were. As for the Japanese, he thought about letting them enter the market of the empire, because Qin Yu said that the empire and Japan would definitely break out into war within two years, and once the war broke out, all the Japanese capital in the empire would be confiscated, which was a harmless thing, as long as Japan was not allowed to participate in the domestic resource industry.
Chen Fu thought about it, so he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Affairs to accompany the ambassadors or businessmen of various countries to have tea and wine, delay as much time as possible, and wait for the domestic economy to be almost sorted out before letting them in.
Less than half a month after the announcement of the First Five-Year Plan, it began with a vigorous start, and a large number of workers were being recruited in all parts of the country, and many unemployed or unemployed peasants instantly saw hope.
When the people in the government were almost ready, the empire directly called on the people of the whole country to participate in the First Five-Year Plan and contribute to the revival of the empire, and the empire promised not to default on the wages of the workers.
The influx of peasants and workers was too much for the government personnel to handle, and the government urgently transferred the newly recruited civil servants to various localities to deal with it. Now the appeal of the empire is very strong, and the people also trust the empire, and will not engage in oppression as the Qing government used to, and some people rush to the country under the temptation of high salaries.
Now the early start is the construction of highways, the construction of highways needs a large amount of cement and sand and gravel, most of them still rely on manpower and animal power, workers are in full swing, cement and sand and gravel are out of stock in various places, and a large number of people began to invest in these industries to engage in production.
Basically, the implementation of each plan will promote the birth of a large number of factories in all walks of life, of course, there will be many problems, such as malicious competition, the production of inferior products, wanton destruction of the environment, etc., at first the government did not pay too much attention, and it took a while to find out these problems, fortunately, it is not very strict.
The implementation of nine-year compulsory education must first of all establish a large number of schools and gather enough teachers, the population base of the empire is large, and there are relatively many students in the school range, which requires a very large amount of funds, which already occupy more than 30% of the budget in the five-year plan.
A large number of workers were gathered in the provinces to be circled by Qin Yu to mine minerals, including the very famous Panzhihua Iron and Steel Production Area and Daqing Oilfield and other large mineral deposits, which were carried out under the attention of the army, in order to prevent these large deposits from being discovered by foreign spies, these workers will not be allowed to return home for three years, and communications are also monitored. Because Qin Yu still doesn't want European and American countries to know the actual situation in China, of course, Germany is an exception, after all, the development of these mineral deposits requires a large number of machines, and only Germany can keep these machines secret and provide them, as for the United States, Qin Yu has never thought about it, and the Americans can't keep the bottle mouth in front of interests.
The construction of the new railway did not begin in the Huaxia Empire, after all, there are too many things to be reached by the railway, and Huaxia is very lacking in technical talents in this area, and the amount of work is very large, which is not something that Huaxia can complete by itself, so Qin Yu They want foreign consortiums or countries to contract, looking at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy, which are very lively these days, they know that foreign people have begun to be nervous.
The First Five-Year Plan is divided into the early stage and the later stage, the early stage is mainly the development of transportation and education, etc., and the later stage is to focus on heavy industry and agriculture, so it is not very urgent at present. Originally, Qin Yu wanted to have a more comprehensive cooperation with Germany, so that Huaxia could easily get what he wanted from Germany, but as soon as he thought that the First World War was about to start, Huaxia could not be too dependent on Germany, and it was not conducive to the later plans.
The investment of Japanese enterprises in China can be confiscated when the war breaks out, but Germany cannot confiscate the German investment in China in the First World War, and can only be acquired slowly through peaceful means, after all, Germany is different from Japan, and his wife is also German, which may make the relationship between the two countries fall directly to the freezing point, not to mention that he also wants to absorb a large number of German talents during the First World War to strengthen the strength of China.
Huaxing and Qin's two commercial houses are making every effort to give full play to their strength to promote the development of the First Five-Year Plan, all the industries of the two commercial houses are constantly expanding, a large group of businessmen in East China have begun to act in the whole country, they have undertaken a lot of projects, and some have even joined forces to engage in railway industries, and many landlords have gradually joined the wave of building factories and making a fortune under the drive of this atmosphere.
In some of the places where the project was built, there were many local landlords and tycoons who joined forces to build factories based on the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the local government also gave special support to guide the development of these industries. Although it is very protective, it is better to put the money of these landlords and tycoons into the market than to let them keep their money in the moldy land of their homes.
The whole country is vigorously contributing their part under the wave of construction, and you can see the busy situation everywhere, and the enthusiasm of the migrant workers is very enthusiastic, and they are sweating to their heart's content.
In this atmosphere, a large number of peasants who were still working in the fields also began to join the wave of construction, usually with surplus labor at home, or ready to participate in the slack time.
"You see that the dog next door is helping the empire build roads, and they all pay a month's salary in advance after signing, which is three taels of silver, enough for us to eat for a long time, the child and his father, you can also go, I can get the land at home and the children." A woman in the countryside is thinking about her husband.
"If you do these fields alone, you must not be able to finish them, and there are not many children who can help you, who will take care of you when I am not at home, I still think about it." The husband took the cigarette stick and tapped it on the table, then said.
"It's okay, the child's father, I and the daughter-in-law of the dog next door should be able to help each other, if it doesn't work, let my sister help, although the child's school tuition is free, but it can't let them eat and dress badly, the child's future is important, it doesn't matter if it's hard."
The husband said hesitantly: "I'd better think about it and see how many people in the village still go to talk about it." After speaking, he looked at the children who were asleep on the bed, and he was very melancholy.
The next day, the husband and several people from the village set out to build a road, a scene that was played out all over the country, and a large number of peasants once again poured into the construction tide, either for money or for their own ambitions.
The vigorous development of the First Five-Year Plan has made Western European countries even more nervous, looking at this posture, China's investment is even much greater than they predicted, and some countries have begun to worry about these moves of China, especially Japan and Russia, but Germany and the United States and other countries are indeed very happy, and China's potential is greater than they imagined.
