Chapter 162 The Dispute over Gold

Hearing the clamor outside to look at the list, "Aren't you going to see if your name is on the list?" Huang Zongxi said with a smile. "Brother, don't entertain the three of us. If you, the Minister of Education, don't count, then you won't count on the gold list!" Huang Zongyan said with a smile, changing the topic just now.

After the announcement of the list, the people on the list are busy celebrating, while the unnamed people are frustrated and depressed, and their lives are full of different states.

Different from the common people's various guesses about the amount of gold obtained by the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Huahan asked Wang Xiaolong to summarize the three pieces of information and forward them to the officials of various departments. Abacus, this is not just a windfall, this golden river can also mine gold worth at least more than 100 million silver coins every year.

According to the provisions of the Exploitation Law, all profits including within ten years belong to the pioneering group. The Golden Dragon Pioneering Group can get a total of 5000 to [-] million silver coins from this operation. This money can almost repair two roads from Beijing to Jiangnan. Whether it is for the country, the people, or for their own purposes, the vast majority of officials who do not know the background of the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group do not want all this wealth to fall into the hands of the three joint pioneering groups.

At this time, Zhou Manwen jumped out, and he contacted dozens of officials to jointly request a meeting in order to solve the problem about the Golden Dragon Pioneering Team.

For Zhou Manwen's proposal, Zhang Huahan and Huang Ziya naturally agreed. In this way, the ministers, the secretary-general and the two big bosses Zhang Huahan and Huang Ziya held the national meeting in person.

"My lords, Zhou Manwen first congratulates the court and the country." Hearing Zhou Manwen's words, Zhang Huahan felt depressed, knowing that this guy didn't want him to get money.

"My lords, what Zhou Manwen wants to congratulate is still the fact that the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group has obtained a large amount of gold in the north. The two chairmen have a far-sighted vision and set up the Northern Xinjiang Pioneering Group. The amount of gold obtained by the Pioneering Group far exceeds the general trade income, so I would like to congratulate the country for obtaining this large amount of wealth to fill the national use."

Hearing that Zhou Manwen congratulated He Xi and brought up the gold matter, all the hundred officials present whispered.Zhang Huahan had already made up his mind before he came, he didn't even say a word, Huang Ziya coughed a few times, and everyone fell silent.

"Is the gold obtained by the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group that Secretary-General Zhou mentioned? It was a surprise, and congratulations are also fine. Having gold is beneficial to people's development of Siberia, but I want to remind you that adults must not Pin your hope on rediscovering gold." Wang Xiaolong didn't take Zhou Manwen's words at all, and directly avoided the fact that gold is a matter of the country, but insisted that it was the work of the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group.

"Although there are many gold mines in Siberia, most of them are underground mines. It can be said that it is impossible to obtain a gold river with high reserves and easy mining like the Jinlong Pioneering Group. Of course, the country can use this as an excuse Attract people to migrate to Siberia, but we should not hope to find the second and third golden river in Siberia like the common people.” Although Siberia has many resources, the Soviet Union and modern Russians have modern technology It was very difficult to mine all kinds of mines in the Western Lia wasteland. In order to avoid policy mistakes and people's misunderstandings, Zhang Huahan had to warn everyone in advance.

Zhou Manwen said: "I think the members of the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group have found a large amount of gold for the country, and they have worked hard. I think that the court should reward them heavily. I want to reward everyone in the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group. I ask Chairman Huang for permission. "Zhou Manwen directly ignored Zhang Huahan, causing many people to frown.

Before Huang Ziya spoke, Liu Xiaoliu said, "Come on, the gold found by the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group is their own, so how did they find it for the court and the country? As for this golden river, it will be ten years later." Belonging to the country, it is not known whether there will be gold left at that time?"

Zhou Manwen gestured to Tian Wenchuan, head of the Population and Household Registration Department, and Tian Wenchuan said: "I think what Secretary-General Zhou said is reasonable. The gold mine is a national treasure, and there is absolutely no reason to attribute it to a private person. The Golden Dragon Pioneering Group has penetrated thousands of miles into Siberia. If you find a large amount of gold and the Golden River, you must reward it, but this gold is of great importance, and the state must take it back."

Huang Zongxi, the Minister of Education, saw that what the two said was all for the court and the country, but he was blinded by money. He said: "Trust is still the foundation of the country. The country has clearly stipulated in the development law that the territory expanded by the pioneer group , within ten years, all property will be owned by the Pioneering Group. We cannot overturn our previous decision just because the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group has obtained a large amount of gold. If so, the court we established will be discredited. Can make up for it, this matter must not let the country lose its trust in the people! Lost its trust in the world!"

Zhou Manwen and Tian Wenchuan glanced at each other, Tian Wenchuan remained silent, but Zhou Manwen's eyes flashed a flash of determination, and said: "This is not mere gold, I heard that the gold that the Golden Dragon Pioneering Team won this time is worth a lot. Tens of millions of silver dollars, the annual income of the Chinese court, is only 7000 million silver coins, which seems to be a lot, but if a series of huge expenses for officials, the army, scientific research and development, etc. are deducted, and the building is under construction The Beijing-Hangzhou railway, plus the west line, the northeast and the south are being surveyed and prepared to build railways. Now the finances are tight, and the silver dollars that can really be used for emergencies are only four to five million. My lords, the money that the court can use is only four to five million. Well, I invite the two chairmen to decide with you adults."

Everyone was looking at Huang Ziya and Zhang Huahan eagerly, hoping that they would say something. Zhang Huahan was funny and annoyed at Zhou Manwen's words. There is still about five or six billion silver dollars and tens of millions of gold coins in the national stockpile. There is no need to pay attention to the gold from the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group, but because 500% of the gold will fall into his pocket, Zhou Manwen is jealous and jumps up and down came to demand that the gold be taken back to the treasury.

In fact, the five or six billion silver dollars and tens of millions of gold coins are said to be able to improve the economy if they are placed on the market. In fact, it is not the case. The economy is under control, and a large amount of money flooding the market at once will cause price fluctuations. It causes inflation, and if there is too much silver in the treasury, the silver on the market will inevitably decrease, which is not conducive to economic development and causes the economy to shrink. The regulation of the market economy is a university question, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause economic turmoil. country instability.

What the country is doing now is to balance the budget as much as possible, and on this basis, do several major projects, and slowly spend the silver deposits in the treasury to cast silver coins. However, it is still difficult for this group of officials to understand this kind of economic control, who only think that the more abundant the national bank, the better. Fortunately, a large number of financial officials under the Minister of Finance Liu Guotao understand these reasons. Based on Zhang Huahan's rough market economic regulation and some materials on capital theory, they compiled more detailed and complete study materials on the economy and market. This made Zhang Huahan very gratified, at least someone in the financial department is checking , There will be no blind command.

In fact, if the Golden Dragon Pioneering Group transports the money back to the Central Plains, it will definitely have an impact on the national economy. The impact on the people and the people's livelihood economy is not big, but it will stimulate economic growth and benefit many ordinary people.If it is collected from the state, it will not be of much use except to increase the silver in the national treasury. It is impossible for the state to buy luxury goods. In order to avoid a major impact on the economy, the state cannot spend the money as it pleases.

Market regulation and economic matters are hard to explain for most of these economically illiterate officials. Moreover, Zhang Huahan also knows that Zhou Manwen is not for the gold coins, but mainly for himself. It is useless to explain, so in Under his signal, the officials of the Ministry of Finance did not explain or refute.

Shen Jinlong, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, said: "Everyone, no one can stand without trust. What's more, the national court must not go against the laws established by our country and the court. How can it be changed from day to night? What's more, the national inventory is abundant. You don't have to worry about finances."

Everyone remembered that there were hundreds of millions of silver coins in the treasury, so they stopped talking, but Zhou Manwen couldn't figure out why Huang Ziya didn't talk for a long time. Could it be that he was indifferent to such a large sum of money?

This time, Zhang Huahan was really unwilling to let Zhang Huahan lose Zhou Manwen once, so he said eloquently: "The reason why the former Ming Dynasty perished was still because Marquis Si De was eager to seek justice, and he killed and poked ministers when they moved, and there were frequent natural disasters, and the court raised his salary every year. , the people had no way out, so they rebelled one after another. The world of the Ming Dynasty was overthrown for hundreds of years, but why did the court increase the salary every year? The deposit of a thousand taels of silver coins, I dare not say that the Ming Dynasty will not perish, but at least it can be delayed for a few years. As the saying goes, remembering the past is the teacher of the future. If something happens in the future and the treasury has no money, it will be too late to regret.”

As far as the Chinese Empire is concerned, the current Siberian country has no intention of reaching out directly at all, and it cannot gather a large number of troops due to the campaigns and reorganization of troops. A lot of money, so you must use the pioneer group to occupy Western Lia.But if there is no huge profit, who would risk his life to conquer Siberia? For a country that wants to be strong, it should not be gold, but this large piece of land. The gold in the resources of this land is only insignificant For one part, although the state has given each pioneering group a ten-year free development period, within ten years, the income of the pioneering group is limited. After ten years, [-]% of the land within the pioneering group's stronghold will be owned by the state, and even more It all belongs to the state, so why should the state compete with the Pioneering Group for the ownership of mere gold.

Huang Zongxi said: "What you said is all about the previous dynasty, which is different from our country's constitution. The former dynasty's collapse was due to the monarch's stupidity. People don't have faith, and they don't know what to do. If people don't have faith, they will not stand. If the country has no trust, it will decline. The country's reputation represents the prosperity of the country. If the country has no trust, the country will naturally decline. I think that if the order has been issued, the policy will not be changed for the sake of gold."

"Are you going to be like the treacherous villain of the previous dynasty? What should you do if you have something to do in the future and the treasury has no money? Don't you want to watch the country collapse at that time?" Zhou Manwen shouted in frustration.

"Zhou Manwen, don't be rude to Minister Huang." Huang Ziya couldn't stand it, and finally said a word.Hearing Huang Ziya's words, Zhou Manwen shut up.

"I think what Minister Huang said is right. People can't stand without trust, and a country can't stand without trust." Zhang Huahan hadn't said a few words before he was interrupted by Zhou Manwen yelling: "You, Chairman Zhang, naturally want to swallow that sum of gold." No, you don't distinguish between public and private! You" "You are the first to be strict and then spray dung and I will kill you!" Liu Shijie, the deputy minister of the military, saw Zhou Manwen calling Zhang Huahan and interrupting Zhang Huahan. He immediately stood up. When he got up, he drew his gun and pointed it at Zhou Manwen.

"Shut up!" Huang Ziya slapped the table and stood up. "At this time, the national meeting, not the vegetable market, is not allowed to attack people. Zhou Manwen, if you interrupt people or attack people with your mouth, you will be deprived of future participation." The right to a major meeting!" "Liu Shijie, put down the gun, is the gun for your own people? Sit down!" Zhang Huahan said to Liu Shijie while sitting there, and Liu Shijie gave Zhou Manwen a hard look, put the gun away and sat down.

"I propose that everyone is not allowed to carry guns when participating in all important meetings in the future, and it will be troublesome if they accidentally fire." Zhang Huahan was not right about the matter, and he immediately realized that it was very dangerous for people to carry guns in such meetings. So it was suggested immediately. "I also agree." Huang Ziya, who realized that carrying a gun is indeed dangerous, echoed, and the rest of the officials also passed the resolution.

"Chairman Zhang, please continue. Don't interrupt Chairman Zhang. Anyone who interrupts Chairman Zhang will be deprived of his post." Huang Ziya said.

Zhang Huahan nodded to Huang Ziya, and said: "Minister Huang said, 'If people don't have faith, they won't stand, and if there is no faith, the country will decline'. I think it is correct. For the pioneering team, they are our pioneers, and they have no interests. It is impossible for them to expand the land for our country. We want to build a powerful country with vast land. Land is the foundation of survival. Therefore, it is inappropriate to violate our laws and regulations for some interests, that is, for the development of It is not good for the group to expand the land, and it is not good for the reputation of the country, but the Golden Dragon Development Group was established by a private enterprise group under my name, and [-]% of the income of the Golden Dragon Development Group is in my name, so I am willing to share my Forty percent of the income is donated to the country as compensation, but the income of the members of the pioneering group and the merchants Lu’s family must not be touched, because this is the country’s commitment, and we cannot use money to measure the country’s commitment and reputation.”

At this time, Liu Guotao, the Minister of Finance, couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "This is not allowed. This is your money and the government will make up for it. You still owe hundreds of millions of taels of foreign debt! Only this money can be repaid to you." Do you still donate a few tenths of it? Do you still have a conscience? Chairman Zhang has used all his abilities for our Chinese Empire. Our military industry department, central bank, economic and political system, and state-owned factories, enterprises and businesses Which one was not created by Chairman Zhang? To put it bluntly, without Chairman Zhang, would there be our initial guards? Is there a Chinese Revolutionary Army? Is there a Chinese Empire? There are more than 2 million people a year in our country Is it silver coin income? Besides, the economic chain was broken for a period of time when Mongolia was attacked. Wasn’t it the economic problem that Chairman Zhang sent the navy to solve? They all patted their consciences and said, the current treasury is so abundant, why? Who depends on you? Didn’t Chairman Zhang get the money? Chairman Zhang is burdened with an astronomical amount of debt that can overwhelm a country’s finances. Why did he owe the debt? Why? For education! For the future of our country! It’s a good time now, look When Chairman Zhang was able to reduce the burden of debt a little bit, he jumped out and shouted, okay! The surname is Zhou! Don’t you just want the Golden Dragon Development Team to spit out the money! Okay! This time Chairman Zhang will give his share of gold If you donate it, how about Zhou Manwen bearing the huge debt for Chairman Zhang? You and your descendants will bear the huge debt, when will the debt be cleared, and when will it be over, come on, let's sign the contract after it's over."

Liu Guotao's words made Zhou Manwen wince, how foolish to bear so many debts!That is to say, Zhang Huahan was able to get money to repay the astronomical debts. Moreover, the establishment of the Education City also created millions of technicians, officials, businessmen, workers and soldiers of various industries who were loyal to Zhang Huahan's future. There is no disadvantage in buying people's hearts!Of course, Zhou Manwen could only think about it, if he really said these words, Huang Ziya would be the first one who couldn't tolerate him.

"Okay, stop arguing. My opinion is that national laws and regulations cannot be changed. Chairman Zhang's money is used to repay debts. If anyone is jealous, he will pay for Chairman Zhang. Chairman Zhang must If you bear the interest of tens of millions of silver coins, then there is no need to argue about the ownership of the gold!" Huang Ziya finally said, all the officials nodded and agreed to stop arguing about the ownership of the gold, and even Zhou Manwen didn't dare to say anything more.

"Okay, there are two more things. This year we sent a large army into countries such as Burma, Laos, Eluo and Annam. They all sent envoys to seek peace, especially the envoys from Burma have arrived in the capital. The second thing is that Japan A few big names from China came to beg for our firearms." Huang Ziya said.
