"Teacher, I'm afraid you will also go to the Three Treasures Hall today, right?" Huo Shan turned his head and asked with a smile as he looked at the old man who was squinting and enjoying the mellow and sweet tea fragrance of Wuyi Mountain's big red robe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing this, Huang Sheng drank the remaining tea in the cup, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Of course, you think everyone is like you, be a shopkeeper, throw a big mess for us, and then travel everywhere yourself!"
After listening to his teacher's words, Huo Shan couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face, compared to the government affairs and military departments that have become more and more busy after the expansion of the territory, he is indeed a little relaxed. However, after a few years of training, Master Li's face was really thicker, and his expression soon calmed down.
"Xiaoshan, when are you going to fight this war?" asked Huang Sheng.
"Why, teacher, is it possible that the war in the Americas has made it difficult for the government council to support its finances?"
"That's not it!" Huang Sheng shook his head, the 500 million taels of silver dollars that Huo Shan had lent to the Government Council were enough to support all the war expenses of the Huo family army now, including the American War and the Egyptian Secret War, not to mention the American War, although it cost a lot, but it gained more, not to mention the human resources that could not be measured by money, such as high-level technicians and university professors, just the value of a large number of machinery and equipment looted from the United States and gold, silver, jewelry and various works of art. It reached a fortune of nearly 2.5 billion silver dollars. Silver alone can be used for the internal circulation of the People's Army 360 million taels, more than 400 million silver dollars. So. With the current financial support of the Huo Family Military Council, there is no pressure at all.
"Although we now have a very good budget, even if we fight with the Americans for another year, our finances will be enough to bear it, but now we can no longer get any other income from the United States, and the military expenditure of the war in the Americas has reached six million silver dollars per month, and it will continue to rise, so the government must know how long this war will be fought. Because our second five-year economic development plan has already begun to be formulated!" said Huang Sheng from the briefcase he was carrying. took out a thick document and placed it on the stone platform in front of Huo Shan.
"Four billion silver dollars?" After Huo Shan opened the document, he saw the bold and black at first glance. marked in a conspicuous position at the beginning, it represents a huge figure of the total investment of the KPA's Second Five-Year Plan.
"Teacher, how can there be so many? The first five-year plan, even if it is added with additional investment in the later stage. It's only about two billion silver dollars. Why did it increase so much this time?" Although Huo Shan had realized that Huo Jiajun's investment in the second five-year plan would become higher, Huo Jiajun had obtained a large amount of machinery and equipment and industrial materials by taking advantage of the economic crisis and the American War. It stands to reason that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which has always been the largest financial investment in the Government Council, will definitely be reduced this time, but contrary to Huoshan's prediction, the financial investment of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the second five-year plan has greatly increased.
320 million. It is the total amount of investment required by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for the development of the next five years. That's a quadruple increase from the first five-year plan.
Moreover, the investment of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is not the most exaggerated. The most exaggerated is the Ministry of Education, which has 600 million yuan in five years! This is a fivefold increase from the first five-year plan. Immediately followed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the immigration application fee of 250 million yuan has also increased almost fivefold. Although the five-year investment of the Ministry of Railways is 500 million, and the five-year investment of the Ministry of Communications is 300 million, the number is also very huge, but relatively speaking, it is not as exaggerated as the Ministry of Education. In comparison, the total expenditure of 250 million silver dollars in the second five-year military construction plan proposed by Huo Long on behalf of the military department is not a big number!
"Hehe!" Huang Sheng smiled bitterly, "You have also seen that thanks to the war between us and the Americans and the worldwide economic crisis, the most important machinery and equipment and talents that restricted our development of industry in the past, as well as the most scarce teacher resources for the development of education, have been alleviated to the greatest extent, Da Meng (Rong Hongzi) and Huo Tian will certainly not let go of this opportunity, so the total investment in the second five-year plan of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Education has increased by four or five times compared with the past. ”
Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded calmly, although it has been five years since Huo Jiajun was established, not to mention that compared with those countries in Europe that have completed the industrial revolution, Japan, which is close at hand, is far stronger than Huo Jiajun in terms of industrial foundation and talents.
Therefore, in the past five years, although Huo Jiajun has formulated a grand first five-year economic development plan, the development of industry and talents need time to precipitate before they can be finally accumulated, and the lack of high-end educational talents has also made Huo Jiajun's senior education development slow. With the support of teachers from countries such as Portugal and the Netherlands, as well as their own training, Huo Jiajun established eight universities in Nanyang, but except for the earlier Taiwan University, the others were too small to afford the foundation of cultivating talents for Huo Jiajun.
The talents and machinery and equipment obtained from the United States and Europe this time are undoubtedly the biggest tonic in the five years since the establishment of the Huojia Military Administration Yuan, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Education.
"Although, over the years, the situation in Nanyang and our surrounding countries has been stable, allowing our economy and industry to develop considerably. As a result, our annual surplus has reached 250 million silver dollars. Moreover, according to our current average annual development rate of 8.5 percent, in five years, the fiscal surplus can guarantee us 2 billion yuan of capital investment, but there is still a gap of 2.2 billion yuan in this. ”
"We have obtained nearly 400 million taels of silver from the war in the Americas, and in addition to the 100 million that we have to set aside as special funds for the war, the remaining 300 million can be used as investment in the second five-year plan, and the war in Egypt, which has now brought us a wealth of 150 million silver dollars. And the central bank still has the remaining 900 million silver dollars from the past. In addition, we are now able to obtain an average of 50 million taels of silver per year from the expansion of base areas within the Qing Dynasty, the Indochina Peninsula, Korea and other places. Moreover, the silver mines of the South Seas and the Americas can give us a wealth of two hundred and fifty tons, about twenty million silver dollars, every year. But in this way, we still have a shortfall of nearly half a billion silver dollars. Huang Sheng said.
"Teacher, didn't I give the government council a loan of 500 million silver dollars? Why didn't I count it?" Huo Shan looked up and asked.
"The loan you gave to the Government Council is almost gone. ”
"So fast, it's only been two years?" Huo Shan asked with some surprise.
Hearing this, Huang Sheng showed a wry smile on his face, "This is also something that can't be helped, compared to when the first five-year plan was just formulated, the land area under our control has more than doubled, in order to do a good job in the economic development and regional construction of these areas, the total investment in the first five-year plan has doubled again and again, so your 500 million silver dollars have already been invested!"
"Is there a solution to the gap of 500 million silver dollars?" asked Huo Shan.
Hearing his words, Huang Sheng's face couldn't help but show a look of hesitation, "Whew!" After a heavy sigh, he said slowly: "The Government Council and the Ministry of Finance have also thought of two solutions to this, one is to recover the silver and use our abundant gold reserves to issue paper money. ”
In five years, Huo Jiajun looted most of the Qing government, all the countries and indigenous tribes of Korea and Nanyang, as well as most of the United States, and looted nearly 60 million tons of gold.
"No, it's not time yet!" Hearing this, Huo Shan couldn't help but shake his head and said.
Huo Shan knew in his heart that if he wanted to issue banknotes, the first prerequisite was national credit, and without the backing of the state, there was no difference between banknotes and the Maokeng paper in the toilet except that they were more exquisite. But now Huo Jiajun just lacks national credit. After all, it was established for too short a time, although most of the Huo family army were Han people of the same culture, but in the deep-rooted Chinese thinking of imperial power, Huo Jiajun was still a force of anti-thieves occupying Nanyang, although this anti-thief seemed to be very strong, and even defeated the Americans who even the Qing government did not dare to take its edge lightly. Therefore, if Huo Jiajun issues banknotes at this time, I am afraid that there will be no good results except for mandatory enforcement. In addition, these golden Huo Mountains have other uses, and now is not the time to take them out.
"If not, I'm afraid we will have to cut the amount of investment in the second five-year economic plan!" Huang Sheng said with a sigh.
Looking up at the tired look in the teacher's eyes, Huo Shan knew in his heart that the teacher must have thought of many ways to meet the total investment in the second five-year economic plan before coming to him this time, otherwise he would never easily say the word about cutting funds.
Because whether it is Huo Shan, or Huang Sheng, or even every high-level person within the Huo Jiajun Political Affairs Yuan, they all understand that the Huo Jiajun started from scratch, and although more than five years have passed, the foundation is still weak. At this time, every silver dollar invested in industry, infrastructure construction, education and medicine is of extraordinary significance to Huo Jiajun's future development. Therefore, the second five-year economic development plan can only invest more and not reduce it in the slightest.
Thinking of this, Huo Shan's heart also made up his mind to pay attention. (To be continued.) )
