Chapter 157: The First Five-Year Plan (6)

January 2o, Republic 2752 (1911), Wuhan, State Council.

The current State Council is located in Wuchang District, adjacent to East Lake, and most of the central government agencies are now located in the area from East Lake to Shahu Lake, especially East Lake, which is surrounded by central agencies.

Since Wuhan is only a temporary capital, these government buildings are not too exaggerated and luxurious. And in a hurry, the office buildings of the vast majority of departments can even be said to be crude. Of course, this is only from the perspective of the afterlife. Because most of them are built in the simplest office building of later generations, there are hardly any beautiful decorations on the exterior.

Especially in order to improve the degree of construction, the drawings of these properties are almost identical, at most the details are a little modified. Viewed from the sky, the ten-story framed buildings look like a flock of gray matchboxes scattered among the lakes. However, this kind of "cement forest", which seems to be boring in the eyes of later generations, is quite tall and tall in this era, needless to say, the elevator and central air conditioning in the building alone are quite bullish.

Among the piles of buildings with identical appearances, only a few are distinctive, and the State Council Headquarters is one of them. This is an antique building covering an area of 2 hectares, which is an architectural style that combines the classical attic and the water pavilion platform, and the main body is a 12-storey antique building, because the cross-section of this building is an equal octagonal shape, so it is also called the "octagonal building".

Today is the year-end summary meeting of the State Council, and representatives of various ministries and commissions have gathered in a small conference room on the top floor for a meeting. Wen Desi and representatives of the Military Commission and other institutions were also present at the meeting, and they were not the protagonists, they basically listened with their ears.

The presiding officer of the meeting was Premier Zhang Lizheng, who first gave a brief introduction to last year's domestic situation: "...... Judging from last year's statistics, the growth rate of China's industrial scale is relatively understandable, and the most obvious is industry. Compared with the previous year (19o9), the raw material industry such as mining increased by 412%, the heavy industry such as machinery and metallurgy increased by 57o, the light industry such as hardware and textiles increased by 256%, and the chemical industry increased by 377%...... Secondly, the growth rate of agriculture is also more understandable, with agriculture increasing by 432 percent...... Forestry increases ...... Fisheries increased ....... Again the tertiary sector......"

β€œ...... Of course, the above number jΓΉ looks large, and that is because the industrial base of the former Qing Dynasty was weak, so once we started construction, the number jΓΉ was very obvious. The situation of agriculture is similar, the small peasant economic model of the former Qing Dynasty is very backward, after our integration, now China's agriculture has been to [industrial agriculture] excessive, coupled with water conservancy irrigation, transportation and hydropower and other infrastructure investment, as well as the promotion of improved seeds, mechanization, animal power, so the growth rate is also very obvious...... I would now like to ask the representatives of the ministries and commissions to summarize the matters for which they are responsible, in a predetermined order......"

Zhang Lizheng sat down after speaking. Xiao Tu, the deputy prime minister and minister of finance, who was the former chief financial officer of the Star Science Group, naturally became the chief accountant of the political power of the Science and Technology Socialist Party after the uprising.

He began: "Comrades, gentlemen, ladies, here is the summary of our Ministry of Finance...... Last year, the total revenue of our government was 18. 5.8 billion yuan, of which the tax is 9. 8.8 billion yuan, of which tariffs 3. $8.5 billion, income tax 1. $5.5 billion, direct tax on enterprises1. 8.7 billion yuan, agricultural tax 1. $1.5 billion, transaction tax and turnover tax 2. $4.5 billion...... The profit income of state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises and overseas investment is 7. $7.3 billion in ...... In addition to the above items, there are some other items that are not included in the total fiscal revenue, because this part of the income is not all currency, according to expert estimates, a total of about 162. $5.5 billion ......"

"Oh......" As soon as he heard this, everyone in the audience suddenly gasped.

If it is said, 27. The total financial income of 5.8 billion yuan made everyone full of confidence, and the "other income" that was not included in the total income was too scary. Some even suspect that Xiao Tu was wrong.

"Excuse me, Vice Premier Xiao, is there no problem with this other income statistics? Is it really more than 16.2 billion?" Education Minister Xu Xilin couldn't help but stand up and asked.

"That's right, Minister Xu, it's indeed 162. 5.5 billion. I'm not wrong, and the comrades from the Bureau of Statistics are not wrong, this number has been checked repeatedly......" Xiao Tu explained with a smile: "This income mainly includes the seizure, seizure, and confiscation of the family property of the former Qing royal family, powerful officials, and inferior gentry and bullies, as well as some materials and funds we have obtained from various channels overseas, so many of them are not cash, but in kind." In addition, according to the regulations, confiscated land, real estate and other immovable property, as well as ancient cultural relics, are directly become state property and are not included in this part of the income. This part of the income only includes cash, non-cultural antiques, various tangible materials and negotiable securities. Because this part of the income is basically a one-shot deal, it is not good to include it in the total fiscal revenue......"

"Oh, I see......" The crowd reacted.

The royal magnates of the Qing Dynasty have been searching in China for more than 200 years, and they can imagine as much as they want, and after they were lucky in the original time and space, most of them fled with money, but they just wrapped dumplings and didn't run away. The officials of the Qing Dynasty are not bad at scraping money, and the saying "three years of Qing prefects, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" is not just talking. As for those inferior gentry, bullies, and reactionary forces, they are basically all rich in oil and water.

In fact, at that time, China was said to be poor, but in fact, it was only the vast number of people and the state finances that were poor, and the royal family and powerful men were not poor. No, as long as you ignore their hard scraping, more than 10 billion will be in hand. Of course, the only one who can do this, or dare to do so, completely ignoring the influence of these people, is an unprecedented organization like the CSD. Even the poor and crazy Yuan Datou only dared to attack the magnates of the Eight Banners and his political enemies, and he did not dare to touch the magnates and gentry outside. Because these people have always been the basis of China's rule, and if they are moved, the rule will be unstable.

But the Science and Technology Socialist Party is not worried, their power base is from the black technology of Xingke, from the vast number of people at the bottom, not these old elites, so they naturally dare to make a big move against these guys. Moreover, for the CSD, these old elites are their own stumbling blocks, and of course they will not be polite to them. All the family property was confiscated, and everyone was arrested, either on the guillotine, or sent to labor camp to death.

Xiao Tu continued: "Last year, China's total fiscal expenditure was 22. $6.1 billion, of which domestic administrative expenditure2. 2.3 billion yuan, infrastructure 7. 2.8 billion yuan, military spending4. 200 million yuan, education funding...... Social Welfare Fee ...... Finally, the deficit is 5. o 300 million yuan. ”

"In other words, if it wasn't for that extra income, our finances would have gone bankrupt last year......" Xiao Tu said with a grin at the end. His expression didn't look like he was going bankrupt.

In fact, it is obvious that China has invested a lot in infrastructure, education, social welfare and military spending in recent years, and there are too many things that were lacking before. But this level of investment cannot be supported by the Chinese government's own fiscal revenues alone.

Those windfalls that don't rely on the outside can't support this kind of high-intensity and huge investment. You must know that China's fiscal expenditure last year has surpassed that of all the major powers, and it has already ranked on the world list. Last year, the UK's fiscal spending was only 1. 700 million pounds, equivalent to 16 Chinese silver yuan. 300 million.

Of course, Xiao Tu still has some income and expenses that he didn't say here, these are top secrets, such as the various profits of the vest company, the sale of illegal drugs, and the gray and black income obtained from "archaeology" in foreign countries, which is not easy for too many people to know. There are also things that use the "Xingke version of the banknote" and the materials bought with it, which are also difficult to explain. In addition, there is also a large amount of confidential expenditures, such as investment in black technology and overseas operations...... and so on gray and black spending.

If you take these into account, China's total income and total expenditure last year were already more than those of the UK.

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

Next, there was the words of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Heavy Industry, Ban Chuan, who said with a red face: "...... Last year, China's crude steel output reached 1.35 million tons, ranking seventh in the world, and the output of special steel was 110,000 tons...... The output of raw coal was 1.35o million tons...... Automobile production 17. 30,000 units, accounting for 55% of the world's total, ranking first in the world!"

"Papapa......" everyone applauded. In recent years, China's cars have indeed sold like crazy, Chengdu FAW, Guangzhou Second Automobile, Chongqing Hongyan, Jinan Dongfeng, Nanjing Jinling, Wuhan Yangtze River and other eight major automobile manufacturing bases have started in full swing. Today's world auto market is basically divided between China and the United States, which account for 96% of the world's total car production, followed by Germany, accounting for 2%.

Last year, the country's heavy industry was the craziest growth, and Vice Premier Ban naturally achieved a lot of results.

Next is the summary report of the Ministry of Agriculture: "...... Last year, China's total grain output was 2. 32.3 billion tons, basically meeting the national demand, this year will no longer import grain. With the increase in the production of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the further promotion of improved crops, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this quantity. ”

β€œ...... Last year, China built and renovated a total of 873o kilometers of railways, the current total mileage of the national railway is 18,541 kilometers, of which 5,432 kilometers are the specifications of the outer gauge, we plan to use this year and next two years, these rails to replace the standard 2 in our country. 5 m gauge ...... At present, the number of railway locomotives in China is 2,255 units, of which more than 14oo units do not meet the standard gauge, and these locomotives are difficult to transform, we plan to sell them to foreign countries, or scrap them. In this way, if we want to meet the railway transportation in our country, there is still a shortage of at least 16oo standard gauge locomotives...... "This is the statement of the Ministry of Communications, mainly the problem of insufficient railway locomotives and wagons.

Halfway through, everyone had dinner and continued to open, and the year-end summary report meeting was held until 9 o'clock in the evening, and the last ministry representative finished speaking.

As soon as Wen Desi walked out of the gate of the State Council, Liu Yang came over and said: "Mr. Wen, my country's currency reform plan is almost formulated, and there will be a meeting on currency reform tomorrow, I hope you will attend." ”

"Oh, Xiaolu, what do I have for tomorrow?" Wen Deji asked, turning around.

Gu Xiaolu flipped through the memo and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will meet with the American business delegation, and you will have free ...... after 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll come over after 2 p.m., no problem......" Wen Deji nodded.

Liu Yang said: "Okay, I'll schedule the meeting after 2 o'clock......"
