Chapter 392, Economic Reform and Development Plan
The alliance system has always been ignored by the outside world, but it is actually a killer move of Gu Hang.
It is very suitable for the rapid development from a poor and white situation. Welfare benefits meet the needs of the people at the bottom to improve their living standards and provide a way to promotion. The centralized system can quickly carry out planned and large-scale rapid development according to the needs of the rulers and in certain key areas.
And at the heart of it, the fruits of these rapid developments do not need to be shared with the public. Although the people will also be promoted under the rank system, but after a year of promotion, or even after reaching the D level, it is generally a few years before they can be promoted to a level, which brings about an increase in the cost of benefits and allowances, which is very different from the benefits of the rapid development of the entire social productive forces.
The fruits of development in the middle were eaten by the owners of collectivized production, that is, by the Union government.
This system has many advantages, but also disadvantages. For example, it doesn't matter if the coalition government eats it, after all, in addition to paying imperial taxes and army building, most of this wealth will still be reinvested in social development and construction. Construction of infrastructure, more factories, expansion of production capacity......
The resulting infrastructure renewal, urban expansion, more and larger living space, more jobs, and more opportunities for promotion will in turn improve people's quality of life.
But if there is institutional rigidity, the fruits of development that have been eaten up end in the hands of the bureaucracy, or they are horribly wasted by bad decisions and systemic corruption. If the people can't eat it and the government has no money for development, then it's a big egg.
This question is also something that Gu Hang has always been vigilant about. The assessment department of the Administration Department will supervise, and the General Administration of Integrity under the Alliance's Legal Affairs Center, the Demon Hunter Organization, the Alliance's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the triple structure all have relevant supervision authority, and even supervise each other.
At present, the entire system of the alliance is running quite well, and it has basically reached what Gu Hang expected to want.
This is reflected in the Angry Owl Star, the Black Arrow Star, and the Koroga Star.
Needless to say, what the first two look like, in Koroga, the reform of the alliance is going quite smoothly.
In the past year or so, Gu Hang's attention has certainly been on the Facher family, but in fact, Koroga's reform has never been relaxed, and it has been moving forward at a fairly rapid pace.
When he arrived in any reform area, relying on the tens of thousands of loyal officials trained by Gu Hang from the Loyal Heir Academy at the cost of gift points as the core backbone, many new officials who graduated urgently from the academy, as well as officials drawn from the Angry Owl Star and the Black Arrow Star, and officials from the former Koroga Planetary Government, they were able to quickly implement the alliance reform.
As soon as the materials are in place and the rank is certain, many problems will be solved directly, and there will be no need to fight the public security war, and the troops can be transferred.
The alliance was not in a hurry about Koroga's reform, it was gnawed down from nest to nest and block by block. Administrative officials brought supplies to open the way, provide jobs, carry out politicized reforms, and develop industries, and the means were tried and tested.
Where there is no time to promote reform, it can also be publicized. With the good life and treatment enjoyed by people in other regions, just tell the truth, and many places can be regarded as looking forward to this. When the policy is actually implemented, there is little resistance.
After receiving the support of the people at the bottom and the relevant propaganda in place, the alliance has absolute force, and the remaining people, forces, and inherent interest groups that may hinder the promotion of reform are all local chickens and dogs, and they will be wiped out at will.
But just because it goes well in Koroga doesn't mean it goes well in Fastes. The situation in the two places is completely different, and Fastes is relatively developed, and it is not possible to copy it rigidly.
But if you can't bring the alliance system to the three stars of Fastces, it will be very bad, and it will directly affect the alliance's control over these three stars, and you can't fully integrate these three worlds into the alliance.
It's not impossible for an empire to rule over most of the world, but it's fucked up.
From the old coalition government, the coalition government has got their decades-old production reports. In the past 20 years, there has been little economic growth, maintaining an annual gross industrial and agricultural output of about 26 billion yuan.
From this point of view, the development degree of Fasters Samsung is actually not 3, at most 2.6.
It's no wonder that the Faches family has a great reaction to the development of the three planets under their command being adjusted to level 3. Although at first glance, it does not seem as terrifying as a fine of 100 billion, but this incident has been a disaster for thousands of years.
For the empire, although it is reasonable to judge the development of a planet, the strategy of dynamic equilibrium should be adopted, and the development of people is high, and it is no problem to overtax; When people encounter difficulties, they should collect a little less, and the degree of development should be lowered.
However, although this mechanism exists, it is not in practice. Adjust the development degree higher, and after the star district government checks it, the report will soon be able to go through the process, which is basically the final say in the star district; However, if you want to go down, it's too hard. After the star sector is settled, the report will go straight to the center of the empire, and every layer in the middle may be knocked down for you.
Lowering the level by one level means that there are countless benefits, and the tax will be reduced, and no one at all levels of government wants to bear such responsibility.
Basically, it can't be approved, unless the situation is really special.
The 0.4 development degree lost by the three stars of Fastes will have to be carried on the back for eternity in the future - unless the real development comes up.
The Faches family was originally on Samsung, and the annual tax they could receive was actually around 2.8 billion. In addition to the 2 billion in taxes, there are more than 800 million yuan left every year, and life is also enjoyable.
But if it rises to three billion, it won't be able to survive.
If Gu Hang doesn't copy the alliance system and continue to use the system of the old coalition government, it will be a hammer.
After calculation, after Gu Hang got the three stars of Fastces, he would have to put another 200 million yuan into it every year?
This is unacceptable.
Posted to the local development, Gu Hang has no regrets. Well, it's for greater returns in the future.
But this money is purely an overpayment of taxes, so it will definitely not be done.
It is not impossible to raise taxes and harvest viciously, but it will definitely have a great negative impact on local social production.
Only by copying the alliance system can we break the original shackles and better collect surplus value.
At the same time, only by implementing the alliance system can we give full play to the role of those black technologies in Gu Hang's hands.
To this end, he has been studying it for more than a month with the local data of Falchers, together with his political officials.
By now, the officials of the coalition government led by Osena who came to take over the three stars of Fastes have already had a preliminary strategy.
It was Osena herself who reported this strategy to him.
The first is to reform the financial sector by abolishing the currency issued by the former Ficher regime and circulating only in the three stars of Ficher and replacing it with a currency issued by the Federation.
In the next two years, the original currency of Fastes can still be used, but the subsequent distribution will be mainly based on the alliance currency, a dual-track system; The Faczes can also exchange their old currency holdings for new currency at an exchange rate within two years.
On this basis, the second step is to invest in the construction of state-owned factories. On the one hand, new factories are being built to provide more jobs; On the other hand, the property held under the concept of the "Faches family" was nationalized.
The old government of Falchers did not directly control the business. However, the direct and collateral lines of the Falchers family have a lot of property and wealth. Gu Hang will definitely not be polite to these.
With these two foundations in place, it comes to direct reform of people's livelihood.
Workers working in state-owned factories, technical specialists, clerks, and government employees are given a rank and a stipend is paid according to the corresponding rank. The benefits originally attributable to the rank will be partially cancelled and converted into currency at the local price of the planet Falces, which will be included in the allowance. Most of the benefits in kind have been cancelled, including food supplies, necessities, and entertainment; However, such as medical benefits, education benefits, and housing security benefits, they are retained.
Hospitals and educational institutions that have been nationalized will be open to all people of rank free of charge. They will enjoy different levels of medical education benefits according to their different ranks. People of different ranks will also have different basic housing conditions, which will also be guaranteed by the government.
The people who worked in these newly invested Union factories, as well as the government employees who had pledged allegiance to the Union government, would have been set relatively high ranks at the beginning, in order to ensure that their standard of living was not lower than in the past; But in order to avoid taking on too much financial pressure, the number of people is limited. Only high-level technicians in factories, important management positions, and important employees in the government will have clear ranks.
Normal workers and employees will maintain the salary level of the past and pay according to the salary, but without rank, the corresponding housing, medical care, and education benefits will be gone.
Next, raise the cost of education, health care, and housing, and make the ranks more affordable.
Subsequently, it will be opened to normal private enterprises to nationalize. The original managers will remain in their posts and become state-owned factory managers with the rank of alliance, and the specific rank will be determined according to the scale and income of the original enterprise; After being nationalized, the corresponding workers and employees will also be given ranks.
And all state-owned enterprises will be supported by the coalition government. Mainly from the technology, from the product procurement. As long as the requirements are met under the inspection of the relevant quality supervision department, then all the products are handed over to the state for the payment of imperial taxes, for the distribution of benefits, for market sales, and for interstellar trade exports......
For non-state-owned enterprises, government procurement is not completely absent, but in the case of giving priority to state-owned, I am afraid that it will be affected.
But in terms of market sales, it will not be affected - if the price and quality cannot beat the state-owned factories, it will be their own problem.
Osena's whole set of strategies is actually essentially a dual-track system, adding state-owned industries on the basis of Fachers's original economy. By binding welfare, we ensure that the 'establishment' personnel such as state-owned factories and government employees have the same or even better treatment than in the past in an environment of high welfare and high stability.
At the same time, it restricts the upward path of people and enterprises in the non-institutional system.
This is to drive the private sector into the system.
But the core difference is that the alliance system is open to people and businesses. Especially for the public, almost everyone who comes. Those who have the ability to join the state-owned enterprises, government system, medical and public education and other industries, the alliance welcomes them; I don't have any ability, but as long as I am willing to do things, I now have a salary income that is not worse than that of private enterprises; In the future, the alliance has a clear plan to expand the institutional structure, and will eventually include all people in the rank system.
For business owners, though, the conditions are much harsher. Originally, he was the boss, and all the surplus value of the employees was in his hands, and he made a fortune when he did it big according to his own ability; If you do poorly, you go bankrupt. But now, if you choose to change to a state-owned enterprise, although the rank of the owner of the enterprise will be set relatively high, there is still a big gap compared with the previous income of all the income to yourself.
And, although it is said to be retained, only if you do a good job can you keep it and be promoted; If you don't do a good job, you can't improve your output, efficiency, or sell well, you may be demoted and transferred to other companies as low-level personnel; If you are corrupt or have a major fault, you will have to go to jail or even eat a gun.
But not to turn nationalized?
That is waiting to be squeezed to death by state-owned enterprises, and then there is nothing, and you can't even get a rank.
Unless there is something really awesome, there are taxes, marketing, lack of government procurement, and the need to hedge the welfare advantages of state-owned industries with high wages in order to retain talents, which will lead to rising costs...... Under this series of problems, you can also ensure good benefits, then you are awesome and deserve to make money.
The ultimate goal is to hope that under these reforms, the three companies will make a gentle transition to a normal and ideal alliance system, which is largely dominated by the state-owned economy and supplemented by the private economy.
Of course, these series of reforms are not small.
But in terms of implementation, there are steps.
All policies will not be rolled out all at once, but will be reformed gradually. Nationalize the important ones first, such as energy, mining, smelting, military industry, heavy industry, etc., and take the rest slowly.
“…… We estimate that our public spending will increase significantly after the corresponding policies are introduced. After the start of the reform, the total tax revenue of the three stars of Fastes will continue to decrease, but with the profits of state-owned enterprises after income minus expenditures, it is expected to provide no less than 2.5 billion in revenue in the first year, and increase by 5% year by year, after five years Fastchers can be self-sufficient, no longer need the Union government subsidies, complete the imperial tax, and start to generate surpluses. ”
Osena earnestly recounted their estimates and summaries, and gave her five-year economic reform and development plan in accordance with Gu Hang's requirements.
Gu Hang listened very carefully.
This is essentially to take the money first, on the premise of ensuring the people's livelihood and ensuring the existing productive forces, bear more losses, moderately implement the alliance system, and finally achieve the effect he wants.
