The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spnps: The second update arrives!

Then the government conducted a thorough investigation of the remaining 23 private mines, and then found many mines with substandard production equipment and safety. For this reason, the state directly closed down these mines.

After a lot of tossing, those private mines were almost wiped out, and there were not many left.

At this time, China no longer needs those small minerals. With the continuous expansion of the territory and the gradual commissioning of overseas mine investment, those small minerals with low production efficiency, unsafety, and damage to groundwater are completely unnecessary.

In China, many minerals can be dug as little as possible. [

But it is not safe to rely entirely on imports. Once imports are cut off, not having enough raw materials will only cause the industry of the entire country to collapse.

……

Acting President Song Jiaoren said in a speech that he was extremely shocked by the fact that government officials accepted bribes from mine owners.

"When I learned that the situation was so serious, my first feeling was that I didn't believe it. Since the establishment of the legal system by Marshal Jiang, the legal system in the Republic of China has been perfected, and such a large-scale transaction of power and money will happen. , It’s unbelievable. However, in the face of conclusive evidence, I have to feel sad. At present, the bureaucracy left over from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties has not been completely wiped out. It will quickly corrupt, and even form a bureaucratic group that crazily squeezes the interests of the people, so that the entire nation will decline rapidly. If the Chinese nation continues to decline, it will inevitably repeat the outcome of the invasion of the great powers..."

In Song Jiaoren's speeches, he constantly emphasized 'bureaucracy', 'the rise and fall of nations', and 'the invasion of great powers'.Immediately aroused strong support from the people of the whole country.

People all over the country strongly demand that the government severely punish corrupt officials and good businessmen who bribe officials.

After Song Jiaoren delivered his speech on the radio, he picked up the forms of those corrupt officials and looked at them carefully, only to see a bunch of corrupt officials listed on the form.The approximate amount and time of embezzlement are also indicated at the back.

"Is this raising pigs? They are really fat enough. These pigs are so fat that they can be shot a hundred times." Song Jiaoren couldn't help but sighed, touching his forehead.

Many of the corrupt officials on this list were actually discovered a few years ago, but not only did they not get rid of them at that time, but they were transferred to manage the mining approval of Shanxi merchants.

Because the corruption has not been discovered after many times, the courage of those corrupt officials has also grown.The frequency of accepting bribes is also increasing.

The mastermind behind all this is Jiang Yu.

Similarly, those Shanxi merchants were raised as pigs, and now that they were fattened up, it was time to kill them.

But the biggest beneficiary is the government.Confiscation of assets can bring in a lot of money. Song Jiaoren estimates that the Ministry of Finance can at least make more than one billion extra money this time.

Song Jiaoren then conveyed the will to severely punish those good businessmen and officials who took bribes. This will came from the generalissimo in Huai'an.

Then Song Jiaoren non-stop began to prepare the 'forestry nationalization' policy.This policy stipulates that the forest land of the main economic tree species will be state-owned.The state will give the owners education fees and land reclamation fees.

As the common resource of the entire nation, the land is given to you because your management can make the land play its due productive significance.

But the forest land is different. The forest land basically does not need to be managed. If the economic tree species are planted, as long as they are managed casually for the first two years, they can be left there afterwards.

For example, invest in a 30-acre woodland and plant trees. After [-] years, you can get rich overnight.If you have more money, you can invest tens of thousands of acres.

This is not fair to ordinary people.It will increase the gap between rich and poor. [

Therefore, this situation can be avoided by bringing forest land under the banner of the state or a consortium, because the current investment in forest land is not very hot.

It is now nationalized, and there will be no phenomenon of people getting rich by owning a large amount of forest land in the future.

At the same time, this nationalization policy nationalizes all primary forests and prohibits people from cutting down primary forests.At this time, China has no shortage of timber producing areas.

Even most of the wood can be imported.

If you want to trade with those small countries for a long time, you must let those small countries make money.Then let them make money by exporting resources, while China trades high-end goods for those precious resources.

If the Russian Far East and Siberia are conquered in the future, then there is no need to worry about lack of wood, and those forests in the country may not even be felled.

If it was before the First World War, China at that time did not do that. At that time, China was very poor, and it used its own resources if it could be exploited by itself.

Now that China has money, it also has technology.

At this time, China can take the route of exchanging technology for resources.

Of course, the concentration of raw material origin will increase the pressure on railways.

Later generations of China only had more than [-] kilometers of railways, which was almost enough. That was because at that time, many resources needed by various provinces in China could be produced locally, so there was no need for long-distance transportation. More than [-] kilometers The railway is naturally enough.

At this time, China has embarked on a completely different path. 20 kilometers of railways may not be enough, so it is necessary to repair railways frantically.

Railways will be the main mode of transportation for grain, minerals, timber, coal, steel, cement and other bulk goods.

When the central government is aggressively carrying out the "crackdown on collusion between government and businessmen" and "nationalization of forest land", Jiang Yu is celebrating the arrival of the harvest season at the Shanghai Hotel and the top executives of the consortium.

"Squeeze out those light industry private enterprises, destroy those private mines, and we are already in a monopoly in light industry and raw material production." Zhou Ziyue said happily, "Now many private enterprises cannot continue to operate, and they can't find anything for a while. Appropriate investment projects, coupled with the fact that the stock market has been booming, a large amount of private funds have poured into the stock market."

"That's good." Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel relieved. Many of the small and medium-sized capitalists just used their surplus money to invest in stocks, which caused some problems in the harvesting preparation process.

Now this problem has been solved a lot, of course in China, where the Han nationality has a clear distinction between the basics and the poor.Many times it is still not easy to cheat all the money into the stock market,

"What do we want to monopolize next?" Zhou Ziyue asked.

"In the next step, we will monopolize real estate and construction materials." Jiang Yu said with a smile. "After the war, the demand for real estate was very high. We first monopolized the commercial housing market, but in addition to commercial housing, ordinary people can also build their own houses, so we want to monopolize the manufacturing of building materials."

Jiang Yu plans to divide the commercial housing into two parts. The commercial housing for ordinary people can take the route of small profits but quick turnover, while those high-end commercial housing can take the route of huge profits.

Jiang Yu continued: "In addition, we now have a monopoly on civilian products, houses, cars, and electrical appliances. If we want to develop these industries, we have to take a lower price route."

The common people only have so much money in their pockets, so let them buy electrical appliances and cars after buying a house.You really can't take the profiteering route. [

Just as it was said in the Ming Dynasty's "Regulations and Mirrors of Customers and Merchants": Even if the lender is profitable, he will be empty for a long time.Although the current author suffers a loss, he is very careful.If there is a market, you can do it conveniently.

You can play financial games, but you can't hurt the fundamentals.

That is to say, the consumption power of ordinary people cannot be hurt, unless there is no large-scale manufacturing of goods related to war potential.

When fighting.Banknotes are just a pile of waste paper!

Look at the potential for war.As long as there are more resources, more industries, stronger military technology, and more troops, those consortiums that look awesome, such as the Rothschild consortium, will eventually fail without the support of these things. Is not enough to see the grandchildren.

Jiang Yu's consortium has always insisted on the premise of developing war potential, rather than monopolizing for the sake of monopoly.

Also like the current situation.People have money in their pockets.

At this time, the common people cannot be harvested, and the common people must be allowed to consume first.Not only improved the people's livelihood, but also developed war-related industries.

When the consumption points of the common people have been satisfied and the war industry cannot be boosted by relying on market demand, it is time for large-scale harvesting.

After the harvest, the focus of construction will be placed on nation-building, and the war potential will continue to be improved through nation-building.At this stage, it is enough to maintain the income of the common people so that they can live a prosperous life. It is not necessary for the common people to become rich in a small way like in the current period.

After a war, coupled with the development of science and technology, the consumption needs of ordinary people have appeared in large numbers, and an economic bubble has been created to meet the consumption needs of ordinary people.

After these few steps, a superpower is basically formed.

Economic development is actually very simple, not that complicated at all.After Jiang Yu figured out the way of development, China's development at this time did not take detours at all.

At this time, no matter how much the Westerners fooled around, they couldn't fool the Republic of China, which had gained an insight into the essence. Now it is the stage of China's foreign fooling.

……

The large-scale government-business collusion cases that shocked the whole country are being tried one after another.

And it's a public trial!

In each public trial, the evidence is clearly presented to prove that this is not a false accusation, so that those who oppose it can have something to say.

This time, the scope of the attack is relatively large, and there are many entanglements, so there are many opponents.

Many opponents shouted that the state's crackdown was too strong.

Among them, Li Yuanhong was the one who shouted the most. The Shanxi merchants themselves were his money bag. This time, the "Supreme Emperor" in Huai'an suddenly wanted to beat the Shanxi merchants, which meant that he was going to cut off his fortune!

Just when Li Yuanhong was shouting happily, Li Yuanhong received a letter, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

In that letter, there was a piece of evidence that Shanxi merchants bribed him.And the one who wrote to him was none other than Jiang Yu, who Li Yuanhong had always fantasized about pulling that guy down.

According to the Criminal Law of the Republic of China, anyone who accepts bribes exceeding 1000 yuan will be shot.The bribes Li Yuanhong accepted were enough to shoot him a thousand times.

The meaning of this letter is obvious, if you call again, even you will be cleaned up.

Only then did Li Yuanhong realize that Jiang Yu, who was far away in Huai'an, had seen all his activities at the beginning, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling all over his body.

So Li Yuanhong immediately pretended to be his grandson, and at the same time turned his guns, instead he supported the central government in a high-profile way to crack down on collusion between officials and businessmen. (To be continued.)
