"Jiangsu wants to abolish the local currency and accept the renminbi as the only official currency in Jiangsu...... Yu Chen still said that Nanjing is not far from Hangzhou, and with the current traffic conditions, it does not take much time to go to Hangzhou at all.

Wu Xiangyu and Ji Ye listened quietly, and when they heard Yu Chen's old-fashioned rhetoric in the end, it probably meant that Jiangsu gave the central government face, and it was important to give Jiangsu benefits. Jiangsu's situation was somewhat unexpected by the central government, and the results of land reform have finally saved Jiangsu. Private industry and commerce collapsed, but Jiangsu did not. Although, in the long run, all it takes is a natural disaster to completely collapse Jiangsu's economy, which has completely destroyed its industry. For a country like China, which is prone to natural disasters, natural disasters are commonplace. As long as you wait, it is estimated that it will not be long before you wait. It would be inhumane to just do that.

However, as far as Yu Chen's attitude is concerned, it is more accurate to say that it is the attitude of the current ruling class in Jiangsu, and it is absolutely impossible for the central government to accept it. The Jiangsu Special Administrative Region is an administrative unit of China, not the central government. There is no reason for the central government to provide special treatment to Jiangsu.

Seeing that Yu Chen had finished speaking, Wu Xiangyu waited for a moment before replying, "The central government will think about it." ”

Hearing this, Yu Chen knew that the People's Party did not have any goodwill at all. He knew that it was absolutely useless to plead, so he began to add chips, "We in Jiangsu are willing to pay taxes to the central government. ”

"The central government will consider this matter." Wu Xiangyu's main job in Jiangsu is not to decide the fate of Jiangsu, but to record the fate of Jiangsu, and he still replied so calmly.

"We are willing to abandon the army in Jiangsu and garrison it by the central government. The people of Jiangsu will also be subject to military service. Yu Chen gritted his teeth and continued to increase his chips. Jiangsu's army is now just an existence, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army can do it at any time if it wants to solve Jiangsu with military force. However, this army itself is also a major pillar of Jiangsu's psychology, and if it weren't for the heavy military spending now, Yu Chen would not have made such a compromise.

Wu Xiangyu quickly made a judgment that even if Jiangsu paid taxes to the central government and gave up the army, it did not change its essence. The administrative, judicial, and other powers are still in the hands of the Jiangsu Parliament, and since the central government has no intention of settling Jiangsu militarily, these concessions are of little practical significance. So Wu Xiangyu changed his tone slightly, "I will report this matter to the central government." ”

Hearing this, Yu Chen knew that the central government had no intention of taking advantage of Jiangsu, which was more terrible than the central government taking advantage of Jiangsu. He calmed down his emotions and said loudly: "Governor Wu, Jiangsu is part of China!" No matter what disagreements there are in the current political opinion, the people of Jiangsu are also Chinese, and you can't see death like this. If the central government is dissatisfied with my Yu Chen, then they can arrest me, kill me, or take you with you. If you think that my Yu Chen has been disrespectful to the central government, then I can bow my head from Nanjing in three steps and go to Zhengzhou like this. But the central government can't just watch us Jiangsu die. ”

This is said to be above board, but it just seems to be above board. How the People's Party wants to deal with Jiangsu, Yu Chen has no ability to resist at all. Wu Xiangyu listened to this, but the secretary and guard next to him looked a little moved. Ji Ye is also from a reckless background, and she has heard too many such scenes since she was a child, and she finally couldn't help but let herself laugh out loud. However, the smile on his face that could not be completely suppressed still betrayed Ji Ye's emotions. At least Wu Xiangyu completely saw the taste of Ji Ye's ridicule.

Wu Xiangyu felt that he couldn't give Yu Chen any unrealistic illusions anymore, and it was not interesting to entangle him like this, he said: "Governor Yu Chen, if the central government wants to solve the problem of Jiangsu, then Jiangsu must be the same as other provinces, the same system, the same organizational model." And what you are asking for now is to ask for the lives of the people of Jiangsu, but in the final analysis, you want to maintain the interests of the current ruling class in Jiangsu. You put the people in front of you and put gold on your own face, I don't think it's necessary. It is impossible for the central government to specifically save you propertied people, and since Jiangsu is the world of the propertied people, then continue to follow the path of the propertied people's world. The propertied class could no longer solve the problem, so it came to beg the proletariat, hoping that the proletariat would pull the propertied class along. Don't you think this request is logically ridiculous? ”

Yu Chen didn't expect a young man like Wu Xiangyu to speak so sharply and explain the essence of the problem so thoroughly. Yu Chen himself had no intention of giving up power at all, let alone any idea of abandoning the current administrative system in Jiangsu, but he really had no choice but to come to beg. Listening to Wu Xiangyu's meaning, the attitude of the central government is very clear, and if the central government wants to intervene, it must be a comprehensive solution to Jiangsu. This is not even an alliance under the city, but a demand that the current ruling class in Jiangsu kneel down and commit suicide by the way. It is absolutely impossible for Yu Chen to accept it himself, and it is absolutely impossible for the Jiangsu Council to accept it.

At this point, Yu Chen could only say: "Then Jiangsu borrowed money from the central government, can this be discussed?" ”

"The central government doesn't have a budget for this, so it's impossible to think about such a thing." Wu Xiangyu simply refused.

"Then the central government is going to watch us die?!" Yu Chen's tone was extremely stern.

"If you are willing to die, it means that you really have backbone!" Ji Ye couldn't help but say, "It's easy to want to die, hang yourself, drink medicine, and throw yourself into the river, it's very easy to do this in Nanjing." If you don't have the courage to commit suicide and want to find someone to do it for you, you just need to send troops to attack our People's Party, and you can get your wish immediately. But in the past 20 years, not only have you not taken the initiative to do this, I think you are still trying to avoid it. So you won't die, as long as Lord Yama doesn't take you away personally, you will all try to live while there is still a breath. Trust me, I'm definitely not kidding. ”

Although Ji Ye emphasized that he was not joking, the secretaries and guards had already laughed lowly. Even if Wu Xiangyu was calm enough, it was not easy to hold back his smile.

And Yu Chen's face was already a little purple with anger, of course Yu Chen knew that Ji Ye knew that when the Restoration Society attacked Nanjing more than 20 years ago, Yu Chen was on the battlefield, and Ji Ye was also on the battlefield. Now the two sides are meeting again with completely different allegiances. This time, Yu Chen still failed to gain the upper hand.

Stabilizing his spirit, Yu Chen said in a slow tone: "The People's Party is not all against private ownership, and there are many private enterprises on your territory. Why do you have to be so desperate for us in Jiangsu. ”

Ji Ye also said in a calm tone: "Our People's Party has not done anything to you Jiangsu at all, I think Yu Chendu must be very clear to you." It is entirely your own choice that you have come this far. Are we going to kill you all? No. We just didn't do anything. If you want the socialist system to give private ownership a backdrop, I advise you not to think about such a thing anymore. Impossible. ”

was completely blocked by Ji Ye's words, Yu Chen only felt that he had come to the wrong place. His negotiators are young, but they are very clear-minded. Behind such an answer, the attitude of the Central Committee of the People's Party is reflected.

Yu Chen didn't give up there, he asked: "What does the People's Party think of us in Jiangsu?" ”

"The People's Party doesn't have any opinion about Jiangsu, we just want to see what kind of choice the people of Jiangsu will have in the end. The choice of the people of Jiangsu, which will determine the fate of Jiangsu, is nothing more. Ji Ye replied.

"Humph!" Yu Chen sneered, "Then can I understand it like this, the People's Party wants to eradicate our gentry and industry in Jiangsu, and before eradication, we will lose face and be scolded by tens of thousands of people." When we are mentioned in the future, the people will hate us to the core. From then on, I willingly followed your People's Party. Don't you think it's too much to kill people? ”

Ji Ye was not moved by Yu Chen's cruel words at all, she replied calmly: "The people of Jiangsu will make their own choice." ”

After Yu Chen left angrily, the comrades in the negotiation team couldn't help but say with some worry: "Will they do something like assassination and sabotage?" ”

Ji Ye smiled: "You think too highly of these people, they really have the backbone to do it a long time ago." If you let them die on their own, they will feel that their lives are precious! ”

"Then there will always be some outlaws, right?" Comrade is still a little worried.

Ji Ye said with a smile: "Only outlaws who are brave enough to do nothing will be discovered, so who is willing to give their lives to these people." Even if there are so many die-hard hardcores, they are all famous people. Even if they want to do this, the old men in Jiangsu are afraid that they will try their best to stop it. Those old men know very well that as long as we find out that someone is doing this, the time of death for these old men will come. The righteousness of the rivers and lakes is just a blow in the mouth. ”

Listening to Ji Ye talking about these things so plainly, the comrades of the working group felt that it made sense, but they couldn't believe it. If it is a BJP, no matter who the opponent is, as long as it is determined to be an enemy, it must be eliminated. However, Ji Ye regarded the enemies of the People's Party so lowly, which is really a bit unbelievable.

Ji Ye and Wu Xiangyu glanced at each other, although they didn't speak, both of them had already labeled this comrade as "unusable" in their hearts. It's normal to be afraid of death, but you don't have any confidence in the capabilities of your organization, which only shows that this person has no trust in the organization at all.

The facts are the same as what Ji Ye said, although Yu Chen had the anger to kill the people up and down, he didn't think about doing it at all. He understands that Jiangsu can only survive this difficulty on its own, although it is extremely difficult to get through this difficulty.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, Yu Chen returned to Jiangsu, and Li Rui, commander of the Jiangsu National Defense Force, came to tell Yu Chen in a hurry that the Jiangsu National Defense Army began to make trouble.

"Didn't the military pay be paid on time?" Yu Chen was shocked and angry when he heard the news. As a deterrent force in Jiangsu, the army's salaries have always been paid on time.

"Of course, the military salary is paid on time, but these people have to be paid!" Li Rui said angrily.

"Why?" Yu Chen asked.

"Those officers and soldiers who are making trouble with salaries say that they can't live at home, and if they don't raise their salaries, they can't live at home!" Li Rui replied angrily.

"Whoever makes trouble will be kicked out of the army!" Yu Chen gave an order at that time, "At this time, they remembered to increase their salary." How much effort has the government put into paying salaries on time! If you don't understand the government and only think about yourself, none of these people can stay! ”

As soon as Li Rui was sent to settle the matter of the troubled army, Wu Cai, the person in charge of the tax police, came to see Yu Chen, "Governor, the brothers of the tax police are clamoring to collect taxes from the People's Party ships passing through the canal. ”

Yu Chen's mind was buzzing, and an agreement was reached with Jiangsu when the People's Party widened the canal, and the People's Party's boats passed by without charging any fees for crossing the river. Now the people of the tax police force are actually collecting taxes from the BJP ships, what is this for? Self-destruction?

Wu Cai saw Yu Chen's face pale, and hurriedly explained: "The brothers of the tax police used to have some extra money to subsidize their families, but now the situation is like this, our merchant ships have no business and do not run ships. Passing through the canal were all BJP boats. The brothers said, it doesn't take much, a ship costs five hundred dollars, and it will have to be ...... this year."

Yu Chen shouted: "You go back and tell them that if you don't want to work in the tax police, get out of here!" When you encounter this kind of thing, you don't immediately suppress it, and you come to speak for them, are you in charge of the tax police, or are the tax police in charge of you? ”

The more Yu Chen spoke, the more angry he became, and his voice became a little hysterical. On the way back from Hangzhou to Nanjing, he was full of worries, and he was too excited, and he didn't eat anything for almost two days. After encountering so many things one after another, Yu Chen suddenly felt tightness in his chest and dizziness in his head. He only felt that as soon as it was dark, the ground beneath his feet began to spin.

The People's Party's intelligence agencies quickly gathered information on Jiangsu, and the corruption of the ruling class surprised the cadres of the People's Party. At this time, instead of saying that we will tide over the difficulties together, everyone wants to solve their own predicament first and escape from the disaster by stepping on the shoulders of others.

"It's an instinctive human attitude, but from a societal point of view, this approach won't solve the problem." At various meetings of the People's Party, Jiangsu was used as an example to vigorously criticize various backward methods. Not only Jiangsu, but also the news from all over the world has gradually spread back to China, and the situation of the whole world is also presented in front of China. In the aftermath of the economic crisis, the capitalist countries that had once looked like bulls and bs were in turmoil in an instant. These are stories that Chen Ke has heard well, and these are truly new to the members of the People's Party and to China's civil service.

Of course, it is far from the point where the cows are killed to burn the wheat and pour the milk, and when it comes to this point, Chen Ke has already ordered a big hype. Although after the founding of New China, the living standards of the Chinese people have really improved. Even if it is Chen Ke's original plane, pouring milk appeared in China more than 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

One of the real international events was the introduction of the Smoot-Hawley tariff law in the United States. Signed into law on June 17, 1930 by President Herbert 61 Hoover, the Act raised tariffs on more than 2,000 imported goods to the highest level in history. In the United States at the time, 1,028 economists signed a petition to boycott the bill; After the passage of the bill, many countries took retaliatory tariffs against the United States, causing both imports and exports to plummet by more than 50 percent.

China was also forced to reduce trade with the United States in favor of increasing trade with the Soviet Union.

China's three largest trading partners, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, have begun to engage in trade protectionism and implement high tariffs. Britain was originally known as the "night watchman of the world economy", but under the impact of the Great Depression, Britain gave up its status as a night watchman and began to discuss the issue of trade barriers.

The BJP's intelligence agencies have gotten some rumors that Britain is preparing to implement the "Imperial System of Preferences" after the United States has adopted a policy of higher import tariffs. In fact, the UK has already started to do just that.

After the First World War, Britain was shocked by the United States in the international market, so it gradually abandoned its free trade policy and paid more and more attention to the issue of imperial preferences. The Great Crisis of the Capitalist World Economy that began in 1929 forced Britain to abandon its free trade policy altogether, and on February 9, 1932, the "Import Regulations" were promulgated. According to the Ordinance, unless otherwise specified, goods imported into the UK are subject to an ad valorem import duty of 10% and an additional tax; At the Ottawa Imperial Economic Conference held in July of the same year, 11 bilateral agreements were signed between the United Kingdom and the Dominions and Dominions, based on the principle of "national producers first, imperial producers second, and foreign producers last". The main contents are: Britain gives preferential tariffs to imported goods from the Dominions and colonies; Britain restricted the import of agricultural products from countries outside the empire in order to ensure that the agricultural products of the empire's dominions and colonies could be sold in the United Kingdom; British industrial goods were treated with preferential treatment when they were exported to the Dominions and colonies; High tariffs are imposed on goods from countries other than the UK. From the formation of the Imperial Preferential System to World War II, Britain to a certain extent was able to retain the imperial market and resist the pressure of the United States and Germany. In 1938, British exports to the empire accounted for 40 per cent of total exports, while imports accounted for half of total imports.

Fortunately, the People's Party laid out the Soviet Union, and Sino-Soviet trade was doing very well. The abundance of raw materials in the USSR stimulated the economy of the north-western front. Even many comrades in the party are very skeptical, why should China import a large amount of raw material production from the outside world, so it has a lot of potential to be tapped?

Chen Ke can't explain this problem from a long-term perspective, which involves too much content. The protection of national resources, the protection of the national environment, and many subtle ideas about the country. For example, Chen Ke ordered that the phrase "the land is vast and the resources are abundant" should not appear in Chinese textbooks.

It's not all good news in this world, for example, in the face of the Great Depression, Japan's steel industry has developed somewhat. The United States exported a large amount of scrap steel to Japan, and Japanese steel production began to climb. It is estimated that it can reach 500,000 tons in 1930, which is as much as 1/40 of China.
