African Nationhood

"In business, we should pay attention to 'small capital and big profit'. Only by earning more profits can we become stronger and stronger.

There are many places in Nanhua where there is unreasonable distribution and waste, which not only violates the rules of business, but also goes against the instinct of human nature to pursue profit..."

Listening to Mr. Tielan's long speech, basically it did not escape Chairman Shi's cognitive scope. He knew the shortcomings of the administrative plan better than anyone else, so it was useless to talk about it.

The historical stage that Nanhua is in determines that it is reasonable to implement this system.

Without this system, the Kariba Reservoir would not have been built, and the heavy industrial cluster in Nanhua would not have been put into operation smoothly.

Not to mention that there will be red geese later. This country has directly made the administrative planning system a national policy.

Roosevelt's New Deal partly borrowed from Red Goose's economic system and helped the United States get out of the quagmire of the economic crisis.

……

“In my opinion, the disadvantages you mentioned, Mr. Tie, can all be overcome.

Waste of resources can be avoided as long as grassroots and local officials are more flexible. Our system has never emphasized that it cannot be changed or questioned.

Moreover, it was because the channels of speech were blocked that problems arose, and I have already proposed the solution to Ouyang Geng.

As for the corruption of grassroots officials in Nanhua, strengthening supervision is more effective than changing the system. I'm sorry, Mr. Tie, but your rhetoric cannot convince me. "

"Chairman, you are familiar with the historical allusions of the East. You should know that in the early Han Dynasty, the Liu family followed Laozi's 'rule of inaction' and relied on a hundred years of accumulation. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national power exploded and destroyed the Xiongnu, shining in the annals of history.

The rule of inaction in the early Han Dynasty was very similar to the American free market system.

The government allows the private sector to develop freely, lets the market serve as a regulatory tool, and relies on economic benefits to distribute and allocate materials..."

"Pfft~"

Shi Jintang spit out the tea he just drank.

"Tie Lao, Iron Lao, why are you so naive?

What was the situation in the early Han Dynasty?
At that time, Han was the only country in the east, and there were no powerful countries watching around.

After the Xiongnu received the annual tribute from the Han people, they returned to their own territory to live happily.

Let’s talk about the United States, which is isolated on two oceans and surrounded by two neighboring countries, Canada and Mexico.

Canada's national strength and population are not as good as those of the United States, and there is no way it can compete with the United States.

Mexico, on the other hand, has been continuously ceded territory by the United States, and it is impossible to fight with the United States.

……

At that time, the environment around both countries was stable and peaceful.

What about us?
We are surrounded by colonies of European powers, and there are also a large number of black indigenous people within our borders.

If we do nothing to govern, what should we do when the black people react and come to us for land and money?

At that time, if you wanted to pick up guns and annihilate them, it would not be as easy as today.

The French are coming with warships and want us to return their colonies. Do we want to fight?

The British came over in a warship and asked us to give them all the gold from the Rand Gold Mine. Do we want to fight?

Now in this world, the weak and the strong are the strongest, and tragedies of "people cannibalizing people" are happening everywhere.

If we don’t work hard, we will end up being eaten by others.

……

As for the 'free market system' you favor, haven't there been too few economic crises in recent years?
Didn't you come to Southwestern Africa just because of the economic crisis in the United States? In order to compete for jobs, white people continued to squeeze out Chinese people. The situation was critical and you came to Southwest Africa.

Your own personal experience is enough to prove that the free market system is not perfect.

"I know that the free market system is not perfect, but this system is more suitable than the administrative approval system we have used for more than 30 years. It is in line with human nature. The free market encourages individuals to freely choose and pursue interests, and stimulates people's potential and creativity , promote social progress and development.

The free market transmits information and regulates resource allocation through the price mechanism and supply and demand relationships, which can efficiently flow resources to areas with the most urgent needs and improve economic efficiency.

Moreover, the free market system has existed for hundreds of years. "

Shi Jintang shook his head. Once this person's mind gets stuck, it will be difficult to turn around.

"Tie Lao, you must not have paid attention to the economic conditions of Britain, Germany, France and other countries, but I have been paying attention to their economic conditions. These three countries are currently stuck on the edge of economic crisis and cannot climb out.

In my opinion, these European countries, in order to relieve domestic pressure, will inevitably use war to transfer domestic pressure and conflicts.

Why don't we just wait and see for a few more years, and then you will understand whether I am right or not.

In addition, the superiority of our system cannot be fully understood in just over thirty years. We might as well wait a few more years. "

Tie Lan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Chairman Shi's expression of indifference.

"Mr. Shi, good advice may displease ears but help practice.

It is undeniable that you have made a series of achievements since you started the company, but the current domestic system does have many shortcomings..."

This old man's words are getting more and more unpleasant, and he actually learned to use words.

If I don't listen to you, am I a fool?

You have set up a solitary and loyal persona for yourself, how can I criticize you?
……

"Tie Lao, I really listened to your advice, but now these advice are really inappropriate.

Didn’t I say, let’s wait and see in a few years, and then we’ll decide what to do? "

Tielan's face turned gloomy when he heard this, "Mr. Shi, I'm old and I won't live for a few more years. I just hope that I can see our Nanlu grow up smoothly before I die. Politics is not what I'm good at, but I want Nanhua to A good heart never changes.

Mr. Shi, please think about it carefully. My old man is going to die soon. People say that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. I……"

Shi Jintang was speechless, you are going to die, why are you kidnapping me morally?

"Okay, I will consider your words carefully. If I think about it well, I will discuss it with you."

Hearing this, Tie Lan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "That's good, then I'll go back and wait for your letter."

"Okay, okay, okay, someone, come and help me see Tie Lao off."

……

In December 1913, three major events occurred in Nanhua officialdom.

The first was that Minister of Culture and Education Liu Jiazhao was replaced by the cabinet, and Director Li Enfu became Minister of Culture and Education.

The second thing is that the Central Parliament quickly promulgated a "Corruption and Bribery Law". The penalties for corruption and bribery in this law are very serious, and many family members are involved.

The third incident was that the Nanhua High Court sentenced Li Yongxiang, the urban construction director of the Tete City Hall in the North Zambian Region, to death and executed immediately.

In addition, he was also sentenced to confiscate all his property. His wife Huang Jia was sentenced to 20 years of forced labor, and the three children of the Li family were banned from politics or business for life.

……

Such severe punishment shocked the officialdom of Nanhua.

The cabinet issued a notice: Officials at all levels are required to express their opinions on the "elegant bribery" case, and the best ones will be published in the "South China Newsletter".

At the same time, the Ministry of Justice of the Cabinet established the "Anti-Corruption and Bribery Bureau" to investigate official corruption in the South China Autonomous Territory.

Most of the agents of the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Bureau came from the Judicial Committee, and later some people who knew accounting were recruited to serve as auxiliary personnel.

Since the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Bureau was established, it immediately launched investigations across the country. Everyone in the officialdom of Nanhua was in danger and fearful. (End of chapter)
