"Young master, there is no problem when these five roads are built, and the funds have been solved, but ......!"

Although Huo Xuan didn't finish speaking, Huo Shan also understood what he meant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't worry, within five years, I will allocate one million laborers to the Ministry of Communications, but they are different from the indigenous laborers of Nanyang, you can squeeze them, but you can't kill them, and the food and other living materials that should be given cannot be lacking!"

"Yes, I understand, young master!" Huo Xuan immediately said happily.

Some people have money, and it is not difficult to build a 30,000-kilometer highway in five years! In addition, the construction of highways and railways is not as completely dependent on manpower as before, and although the trucks are still in Huo Jiajun's laboratory, the tractors have matured a lot, and although they do not pull much, they have also saved a lot of manpower.

"Huo Tian, I have no objection to the expansion of the six major heavy industry groups by your Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but the construction plans of other large steel plants such as the OCT shipyard and the Los Angeles large steel plant have all been cancelled!"

As soon as Huo Shan's words fell, Huo Tian immediately became anxious, although the expansion of the six major heavy industry groups is important, the formation of other heavy industry groups must not be slack!

"Young master, this ......!"

Waving his hand to interrupt what Huo Tian was about to say, "The country's industrial development cannot rely solely on state-owned enterprises, in that case, the national economy is no different from a pool of stagnant water." The responsibility of your Ministry of Commerce and Industry for the next five years is not to build as many new factories as possible, but to guide the national capitalists who have become increasingly wealthy to participate in the investment of heavy industry. And in the early stages. Solve all aspects of talent, technology and policy guidance for them!"

"In the future, the proportion of state-owned heavy industry in the country's heavy industry will be 30% of the benefit, and the state-owned capital of light industry will not be involved, and all will be handed over to private capital. It's the same with the service sector, where the state doesn't get involved. It is only responsible for the supervision and regulation of prices and quality!"

"Yes, young master!" Although he agreed, Huo Tian's face showed a bitter expression. The other ministers around him also had different expressions. But no one spoke out against it.

"I have read the five-year plan of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications! In general, I have no opinions, but I have cut most of the hydropower construction projects you submitted! Of course, you can make up for it by building thermal power plants!"

Hearing this, Rong Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Of course, the reason why Huoshan does not agree to build a hydropower station that consumes less energy and pollutes less. The key is that the current power generation quota of hydropower generators does not meet his requirements.

You must know that hydropower stations are not like thermal power stations, after they are built. It is very difficult to rebuild and can easily affect the water quality of the lower reaches of the river. Therefore, Huo Shan prefers that after Huo Jiajun accumulates more mature experience through the construction of small hydropower, he will build a large power station that generates millions of kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

"Oh. That's right. Huo Tian: There is another thing: In the future, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce must be strict in approving heavy industry factories, and will not approve any investment amount of less than 5 million silver dollars!"

This is also from the point of view of environmental protection, compared with the pollution capacity of large heavy industry factories, heavy industry factories with high energy consumption and small output, the damage to the environment is deeper!

Huo Shan resolutely did not take that kind of 'destruction first'. The old road of post-governance must be prevented and eradicated at the source.

"Young Master. In this case, I'm afraid few people can invest, five million is too much!" Huo Tian said.

Although there are many families in Nanyang who can come up with five million silver dollars, everyone will hesitate to invest so much money in heavy industry that they have not set foot in before.

"If one person can't do it, you can organize many people together, and divide the shares according to their investment amount, isn't it over?"

"Yes, I understand, young master!"

After nodding, Huo Shan looked at Huang Sheng, "Teacher, now after six years of development, although the Huaxia Republic has just been established, the financial system is relatively perfect. So in the next five years, we will also set up a stock trading center and a futures market!"

Actually, even if Huo Shan doesn't mention it this time, Huang Sheng will say it.

In recent years, with the rapid development of Huo Jiajun's internal economy, stock trading and futures trading have appeared in private, but due to the lack of state supervision, it has caused a lot of chaos.

"Then the hills, where are they located?" Huang Sheng asked.

Hearing this, Huo Shan pondered slightly, "Because our land is now roughly divided into two parts, Nanyang and the Americas, the stock exchange and futures are also divided into two parts, one of which is in Pontianak, and the other is located in the municipality of Overseas Chinese Town in the Americas!"

Pontianak is the economic center of the Nanyang provinces, with a radiating force throughout the Far East. The Overseas Chinese Town, formerly San Francisco, has now become the economic center of the Americas, and it is most appropriate to place the stock exchange and futures market in these two places.

"In addition, Jiaguang, your central bank, must strengthen the supervision of listed companies to ensure the normal operation of the stock market!"

"I see, young master!"

After nodding, Huo Shan glanced at everyone and said slowly: "There is one more thing, you have to be prepared!"

Looking at the eyes of everyone who moved over, Huo Shan continued: "After six years of development, the rule of our Chinese People's Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now the Chinese Republic has been officially established. So, the era of the silver dollar as currency will come to an end, and in the next five years, we will issue paper money to replace the silver dollar as the currency in circulation. ”

"Xiaoshan, are we using the gold standard?" Huang Sheng hurriedly asked.

At present, in the second five-year plan of the Republic of China, in addition to the investment of the main departments of the central government and the military expenditure needed by the military, there are also investment applications from various provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and colonies under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, especially the provinces and cities in the Americas.

Although the annual financial revenue of the Huaxia Republic has now reached 400 million silver dollars, plus the harvest of the Sino-US war, as well as the auction of various national assets, plus the bank loan from the Huo family, it can solve the investment amount of about 4.2 billion, but there is still a funding gap of 1.15 billion.

Originally, Huang Sheng planned to issue a part of the treasury bonds, and then turn the edge from Huoshan, and then approve the investment plans in various places and cut a little.

But now that Huo Shan intends to issue paper money and implement the gold standard, then Huo Jiajun has looted the entire Nanyang in six years, most of the Qing Dynasty, the countries of the Indochina Peninsula, half of the United States, and their economic center New York, and the accumulated gold, in addition to using up part of it in international settlements, a total of 3,580 tons have been accumulated in the treasury of the central bank in these years.

According to the current international rules, one pound of gold is equal to 16 taels. With the outbreak of the economic crisis, the proportion of one tael of gold exchanged for silver rose slightly, reaching 12 taels of silver, and a Chinese silver dollar was equivalent to 0.72 taels of silver.

In this way, 3,580 tons of gold can be provided, 1.76 billion silver dollars of development funds, so that with silver as auxiliary currency, the investment amount of the second five-year plan is completely sufficient!

"Yes, now the pattern of the Huaxia Republic has basically stabilized, so it is time to integrate with international standards and implement the gold standard, otherwise with the rapid development of our economy and the closer and closer trade relations with other countries in the world, it will be too much of a loss to use the silver standard!"

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Jiajun had banned the exchange of silver for gold in recent years, I am afraid that the silver flowing into Nanyang from Europe would have collapsed the financial system within Huo Jiajun.

With the addition of this batch of gold, the funds for our second five-year economic development plan have finally been gathered!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Sheng couldn't help laughing, this matter had been pressed in his heart for almost three months, and now that it was finally resolved satisfactorily, he was naturally happy in his heart.

Hearing his words, the ministers of the other Huaxia Republic were naturally happy in their hearts, which also meant that the five-year construction funds they had applied for were finally settled.

......................................................

The port of Marseille, the largest seaport on the Mediterranean coast of France, is also the largest and most prosperous port in the entire Mediterranean.

Today, Marseille is not as old as the old port and the new port, but the port of Marseille, with its fifteen deep-water berths, still has hundreds of ocean-going passenger and cargo ships calling every day, and red wines from Bordeaux in France, perfumes from Grasse, brandy from Cornec, and industrial products from Paris and Lyon are sold all over the world from here.

Ceramics and tea from the Qing Dynasty, coffee, sugar, and rubber from the Chinese Republic, as well as new automobiles, generators, and electric motors, fine carpets from Turkey, and grain and other supplies from the major colonies also entered French society from here.

Although the economic crisis has affected the prosperity of Marseille, the French economy, which has begun to gradually come out of the bottom, is gradually recovering, and the port of Marseille is gradually regaining its previous prosperity.

Watching the huge ocean liner with Pacific shipping printed in the distance slowly entering the port, two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes on the dock in the distance, about thirty years old, stepped out of the car one after another.

"It's still convenient, it's fast and smooth, it's much stronger than a horse-drawn carriage!" Huo Yu couldn't help but say after getting out of the car.

"Hehe, yes, I heard that the 1,000 cars sold to France by our Huojia Benma Automobile Company were all sold short in less than two days, and the orders were all auctioned until the year after next. It's really unthinkable! It's only been six years, and now China can actually develop and produce this kind of industrial product that is popular in Europe!" Huo Zhou said with a hint of sigh in his words. (To be continued.) )
