Chapter 256: The Founding of a New Country
After a week of preparation, a new reform within 9997 began.
Early in the morning, standing under the wall, Xu Yuan summoned all the survivors to read out the reform bill that Chen Bei had been quietly brewing for a long time.
The first is the administrative system.
From now on, Huayuan Food Trading Co., Ltd. will be completely transformed into a military institution, and a unified military ** will be established to govern all territories, and the territory will be divided into two administrative regions.
One is the economic zone, which is open to any survivor and enforces the military ** to govern the army, and at the same time, the military ** will send an executive officer to supervise all aspects of the economic zone.
The other is a military zone, which is closed to non-military personnel, implements comprehensive militarized management, and implements a hierarchy from first-class citizens to fifth-class citizens.
All swore allegiance to the Supreme Leader and absolute obedience to his leadership, and all citizens, with the exception of slaves, had holidays of varying time at their disposal, during which they could choose to go to the economic zone and enjoy a free life.
But in a military base, there is no such thing as freedom, only command and obedience.
Although there is a division, the interaction between the two is inseparable.
The tax revenues and military resources of the economic zone feed the armed forces of the military zone, and the factories of the military zone also act as an independent company to export excess capacity to the market of the economic zone.
In this way, both economic capacity and combat effectiveness of the military zone were preserved.
In addition, in order to maintain the stable operation of this model, Xu Yuan, while announcing this decision, also threw out a welfare policy for survivors of the military zone, that is, a salary system.
Except for the lowest slaves, the rest of the citizens will receive a basic salary every month, 1,000 yuan for first-class citizens and 5,000 star yuan for fifth-class citizens, of course, it is certainly not fixed, depending on the specific position, this value will fluctuate upwards.
In the past, Xu Yuan gave most of these soldiers no salary and only food, but as the economy gradually developed, it was difficult to ensure that the soldiers at the bottom would not have some ideas, so he took this opportunity to promulgate this decision.
Although this means that he will increase his expenses by tens of thousands of dollars per month, compared to the grain business and taxes, he can still afford this Yuan Jing.
As long as it is someone who is loyal to him, Xu Yuan doesn't mind letting him live a good life.
Then there's the leadership.
The supreme leader of the military is the president, who is personally held by Xu Yuan.
The main responsibility of the Presidential Office is to supervise the operation of other departments, as well as to make adjustments to the work of the entire army, and to appoint and dismiss the governors of each administrative region.
The original redundant departments were broken up and reorganized, and the newly established Administration Department managed all administrative and construction affairs in the base.
The logistics department is responsible for managing the production and deployment of all materials in the base.
The head of the administration department is Fan Jianmin, the former minister of construction, and the head of the logistics department is still Wan Xiaowen, and the ministers of the two departments are directly responsible to the supreme president Xu Yuan.
As for the details of the construction of the legion, Chen Bei also meticulously perfected it for him, refining a top-down command system.
Xu Yuan also handed over to her to do it with an attitude of employing people without suspicion, and she did not live up to his expectations and completed these tasks very skillfully.
In this way, the soldiers will no longer encounter the embarrassing situation of not knowing who to command at critical moments.
On the other hand, the name Huayuan Food Trading Co., Ltd. cannot be used anymore.
This is already the founding of the country, Xu Yuan is naturally embarrassed to casually use the name of a company as the name of the army.
So, after referring to the opinions of other high-level leaders in the base and Chen Bei, he chose the new era as the name of the army, referred to as Xinguo.
That's all there is to the reform.
In the age of civilization, such an aggressive form of government was obviously impossible, but there was nothing wrong with this source planet, where there were no constraints such as human rights and morality.
There is a desire for a powerful voice to establish a rule in this wasteland that everyone will follow.
Even if it's flawed, at least it brings the stability that everyone dreams of.
But it is undeniable that most of the survivors are unfettered, and they may desire stability, but they are not necessarily willing to sacrifice their freedom for it.
As for how to balance the balance of freedom and order in the hearts of the survivors, it can only be left to time to grind.
"Now that the command system is perfect, then I can start preparing for the expansion of the troops," Zhao Wenlong, standing in front of Xu Yuan's office, said.
Now, Zhao Wenlong has become the first deputy general of the legion under Xu Yuan, but except for changing the title of his position, his authority has not changed, anyway, he still directly obeys Xu Yuan's orders.
"How many people do you think you'll be able to recruit?" Xu Yuan asked.
"It depends on what kind of price we can offer and how many people you need." Zhao Wenlong said.
"It is planned to recruit 5,000 recruits, the contract is 5 years, all recruits will automatically obtain first-class citizenship after enlistment, and after a six-month training period, the recruits who have passed the assessment will officially obtain the status of a new soldier, and at the same time be promoted to a second-class citizen, as far as possible before mid-June, can it be done?" Standing beside Xu Yuan, Chen Bei said simply and concisely.
Bowing his head and totaling in his heart, Zhao Wenlong nodded.
"Yes."
At this point, the administrative system and the constitution of the corps and the abutment structure of the new country were completely completed.
With the launch of Xingyuan, Xinguo's inventory can be regarded as a backlog of source crystals.
After some inventory, Wan Xiaowen put a statistical report on Xu Yuan's desk.
"Xingyuan issuance: 20 million, source crystal recovery: 40 million"
"It's no wonder that countries like to print money, which is much faster than collecting taxes." Looking at this document, Xu Yuan couldn't help but secretly speak.
The seven-day currency issuance alone filled the treasury with 40 million yuan crystals, which is almost more than a year's worth of food trade income.
"But we also issued 20 million credits, which we borrowed from the market rather than ours."
Out of concern that Xu Yuan was printing money on a large scale, Wan Xiaowen reminded that "if we can't come up with a matching product next spring, we may face bankruptcy." ”
However, her worries are obviously unnecessary, Xu Yuan understands the harm of inflation very well, as for why, he has a personal experience on the earth!
"Don't worry." Xu Yuan said with a smile, "The currency circulates in the market, and only a small part of it will be taken back and cashed into commodities, and more is still circulated in the market, we only need to prove that our food supply is sufficient, and we don't need to worry about the run." ”
Just as the precious metals of the earth are the guarantee of paper money, but few people will go to the bank with bundles of banknotes to exchange precious metals, people will be more inclined to hold their currency when they believe in the stability of the country.
The new country controls the market supply of grain products and the amount of money issued, and there is no need to worry about the currency getting out of control.
The issuance of Xingyuan is only part of the story, and Xu Yuan plans to issue loans totaling 10 million credits to merchants through banks to encourage factories to expand production capacity.
Now that the surrounding situation is unprecedentedly relaxed, it is a good time to expand outward!
After Wan Xiaowen left, Chen Bei stood up again, ready to say something.
As for what she wanted to say next, Xu Yuan could guess without asking, the time was mid-September, and the strategy plan for the surrounding area was about to begin.
Now that the state has been established, expanding the territory is the basic plan for the next step.
"The strategy plan is to mobilize part of the First Corps and the Third Corps, with a total of 5,000 combat personnel, 50 power armor and 500 mechanical exoskeletons, and this is the battle plan." As she spoke, Chen Bei neatly placed the tablet in her hand on Xu Yuan's table.
The holographic projection unfolds, outlining a panoramic map of the 9th arrondissement.
The 1st Corps set out from Xinguo, aiming straight at the 8th District, all the safe areas along the way, either choose to surrender or choose death!
Since he has chosen to establish a new country, Xu Yuan will not choose to release water, and there can only be one voice on this source star!
Without hesitation, Xu Yuan directly pressed his fingerprint on the screen.
"The battle begins!"
