May 2, 1920.

On the day when Yang Qiu formally proposed the first five-year plan at the National Social Congress, Li Yuanhong arrived in Chongqing. The arrival of the President also announced the countdown to the country's second five-year plan.

Kuang Xukun got up very early and led the staff to put statistical data on the tables of the ministers and deputies attending the meeting, and Lei Meng also led the Central Guard Corps to strictly protect the venue. No wonder everyone is nervous, this meeting is so important, not only for the five-year summary and future outlook, but also for the monetary reform that even the European and American powers must be careful about.

"Sincerely, haha, our Minister of Railways can be regarded as appearing."

"Pei (Shen Shukai), I heard that you went to inspect Shanghai Nanyang Machinery Factory. What do you think? Is it worth the support? ”

"Zihong, have you said hello from Shanxi Bank?"

From eight o'clock, the corridor of the conference room sounded the chatting of ministers one after another, Zhan Tianyou and Shen Shukai, who are usually rarely seen, came, and Liang Shiyi, the minister of transportation who usually did not dare to meet Yang Qiu, also came to the venue.

Although the economic meeting has little to do with the military, as a big spender of the military, Yang Qiu also wants them to know the overall situation of the country at present, but the Ministry of Defense has been discussing for a long time on the issue of who to send. Zhang Xiaozhun and Shi Xiaolou took the officer corps to the United States for further study, Su Xiaohu also took many officers to study in France for three years, Cai Jimin quit the military and became the minister of civil affairs, Yue Peng originally agreed, but after Yakutsk, he couldn't help but go to the northeast to see Wang Geng. Feng Guozhang is already semi-retired and asks to stay as a janitor, Old Man Sa only cares about naval appropriations and is not interested in economic conferences, Xue Muhua is still engaged in the formation of the Air Force, and Ye Zugui will go to France to inspect and buy semi-finished Normandy products when he goes to the meeting and receives the battleships. Qin Zhangshu and Zhang Tingfu guarded the northeast, Wu Peifu and Xie Ruyi were in the northwest, Xu Shuzheng went to Russia, Yin Changheng and He Xifan were in charge of the southwest, and North China was handed over to Chen Eun Jiang Tai, who came back, and Xiao Anguo needed to supervise the suppression of bandits in the northeast and the garrison in Taiwan. In the end, Cai Ye could only be allowed to take Jiang Zuobin and Qiu Baoren, who were in charge of equipment procurement and training, to attend.

Even the second-level Liu Mingzhao, Long Yun, Bai Chongxi, and others have been appointed to various countries to serve as military attachés and continue their studies by the way, and this situation of the military casting a net on all sides also shows that there has been a huge adjustment in the national strategic policy, and the probability of a major war breaking out in a short period of time is very low.

"Teacher, is Nanjing okay?"

Yang Qiu and Li Yuanhong walked side by side. He used this title when he put the latter on the vice president. Li Yuanhong was also used to it, and said: "Everything else is good, but there is one thing." The Swiss ambassador came to me half a month ago and brought a message from Moscow that Lenin had sent a man named Garrahand, and that he should have arrived in the next few days. ”

Garrahan was familiar with Lenin's first manifesto on China. It seems that Lenin was really deceived by Stalin's tricks, and really thought that he was capable of sweeping the Urals to Moscow. But this is a good thing, and it is time to establish a channel of dialogue with Soviet Russia.

Li Yuanhong continued: "Chenhua, you are not in Nanjing these days, and the British and American representatives come to bother the old man every day, hoping to reveal the economic reform to them. ”

Yang Qiu smiled: "Can they not care." China's foreign-funded banks have a large amount of gold and silver in their hands, and they have lost a lot of money when we scrap the gold and silver this time. Not to mention the need to open the first savings reserve and foreign exchange management system. This is their blood. ”

"I don't understand this, Chenhua just let it go. No one dares to hit us now, does it? ”

Yang Qiu deliberately nodded very seriously: "There must be no more." ”

"Haha." The two walked into the venue chatting for a day. The meeting officially began upon the arrival of the President and Vice President. Since it is an economic conference, Zhang Wenjing, the Minister of Finance of the Republic of China, is naturally one of the protagonists. After everyone arrived, he immediately nodded to Bei Zuyi next to him.

Pei Zuyi is a native of Wuxian County, Jiangsu, 11 years admitted to Southwest University, 15 years was selected to study in the United States, 19 years after returning to China in the central bank of foreign exchange management department, because of outstanding ability by Xu Xiujun recommended to the Ministry of Finance, Zhang Wenjing when he visited the whole process to help take care of various matters, especially with the United States Wall Street in the negotiation of the issuance of treasury bonds outstanding performance, after returning immediately was promoted to secretary general. This young man was a little nervous when he saw so many big names for the first time, and he almost stumbled and fell when he came on stage, which made Zhang Wenjing scratch his eyebrows. But it also made everyone remember him.

"First of all, the statistics of the European war." After entering the topic, the youthfulness on Pei Zuyi's body disappeared completely, and he talked eloquently in a suit, and a series of economic data were recorded under his explanation.

After the start of the European War, Yang Qiu did not ask for immediate statistics of gains and losses, and even did not inform everyone of the end of the Paris Peace Conference. Because he knew that the European war economy was long-term, and from the perspective of economic laws, the entire European war economy had to extend to the end of 1920, so today everyone has a clear concept of the gains and losses in the European war.

Pei Zuyi's face rose with pride, and he said: "The total revenue from the European war is divided into three aspects, light and heavy industry exports, resource exports and external income. In the export of light and heavy industry, light industry exports occupy the main, in 1914 China's total exports of tea, silk, tung oil and other exports of 500 million yuan (yuan units), at that time because the tariffs have not been taken back, so the income is very low, but from 15 years, especially after the 16 years of tariffs are all recovered, exports have increased significantly, of which tea, silk, tung oil, tobacco and drugs (sulfonamides) have grown the fastest, and the cumulative total amount of 6 years has reached 9 billion. Heavy industry exports are mainly concentrated in weapons and ships, and a total of 17 ships of various types, 1.57 million weapons, and 200 million rounds of ammunition (including bullets) have been sold to Europe and the United States in six years, with a total value of 3 billion. In terms of resource exports, the fastest increase was in rare metal ores and coal, totaling 600 million yuan. Finally, there is external income, which is mainly divided into obtaining loans, troop expenses and war revenues, which are 5 billion, 500 million and 3.9 billion respectively. ”

"Buzz."

Like a bombshell falling into the conference room, all the ministers who usually did not care much about economic development widened their eyes and exchanged ears, especially Cai Yi and other military representatives. They all know about the 5 billion loan and the 500 million cost of sending troops, but they never thought that there would be so much war income! Although everyone knows that the seizure of the Western Front and the robbery of Russia are huge profits, they never expected that they would be so profitable!

Even though he had already gotten the statistics, Yang Qiu was still a little excited, this 3.9 billion was not just a number, it included thousands of large and small factories and equipment, as well as a lot of gold and silver wealth. The most important thing is that the economic input does not mean that you can move in. Instead, they will be converted into proportional auctions or issued currency offsets, so that after the conversion of these things alone, about 2 billion yuan can be withdrawn and issued, and these funds can be invested in other fields to further promote development.

So by this time, everyone finally knew how wise it was for Yang Qiu to send troops to Europe, in the simplest words. It is to get back about 7 billion investment, according to the multiplier effect, when all this money is invested in domestic construction, it will be magnified several times!

The more excited everyone was, the more steady Bei Zuyi became, and continued: "In the past six years, China's various economic indicators have increased several times, and the number of light industry factories in the country has increased from 5,800 before the war to 16,102 at present. The number of large-scale manufacturing companies such as iron and steel metal processing increased from 113 to 347 (each of the Group's factories is split). Among them, the number of private cotton mills increased to 167, 26 state-owned cotton mills, the number of spindles increased from 70,014 to 4301020 0,000, looms increased from 2,954 to 35,623, silk reeling developed rapidly, the national silk reeling factory has a total of 487, 383213 silk cars, because of the United States Cleveland Group and the later development of new products such as parachutes. It has also monopolized the international price of silk. Raw coal production increased from 1.5 million tons in 1913 to 11 million tons; Steel production increased from 400,000 tons to 2.5 million tons in 1913; flour increased from 2.7 million quintals to 8.3 million quintals; 1.2 million tons of cement increased to 9.7 million tons, and 50,000 tons of chemical fertilizer increased to 1.02 million tons; Petroleum increased from 12,000 tons to 370,000 tons; rubber from 2,000 tons to 150,000 tons (including labor); tobacco from 6 million mu to 19 million mu; oil extraction, sugar production, matchmaking, and paper making all increased by more than four times.

The country's power generation increased from 46 million kWh in 12 years to 3.2 billion kWh (58 billion in the United States), and the number of shipbuilders increased from 21 to 113 in 12 years (including foreign shipyards); The number of cars and tractors increased from zero to 12,000 per year. The length of the railway has increased from less than 10,000 kilometers in 11 years to 40,000 kilometers (including the Trans-Siberian Railway), and the number of workers (excluding handicrafts) has increased from less than 420,000 in 12 years to 4.2 million at present! The only decline in the share of digital foreign investment, from 80% in 1913, has fallen to less than 30%, and state and national capital has increased from 20% to 69%! ”

When a series of dazzling economic figures appeared in front of them, everyone finally understood the great power of Yang Qiu's crazy investment in industry and commerce! But this is actually still superficial, and the social development and economic promotion driven by it cannot be reflected in numbers. The most important thing is that with the average increase of industry by three to four times, the state finances of agriculture-based have finally been gradually leveraged!

"We haven't counted the GDP and the proportion of industry before, so there may be a gap in the following set of economic figures." Pei Zuyi cleared his throat and exploded the last big explosive: "According to the statistics of the average purchasing power and grain production used by Wall Street in the United States, we finally came to the conclusion that in 1912 the national GDP was about 24 billion US dollars!" (If you can't find the information.) Wikidata is quoted here), heavy industry accounts for 0.5% of the world! From 1913 to 14, due to internal turmoil, China's growth was mainly in the southwest, but it also drove the national annual growth rate to 3%, in 1915 the growth rate was 5%, and in 16 years due to the entry into the European war stimulus and loan stimulus, the growth rate reached 10%. 15% from '17 to '19, with a decline of 11% starting last year. According to this growth rate and the proportion of industrial investment, China's current heavy industry already accounts for between 5% and 6% of the world, with a total amount of about 6 billion US dollars! The GDP is $49 billion! Second only to the United States at $88 billion and the United Kingdom at $57 billion, our country is now the third largest economy in the world! ”

"Flutter." Yang Qiu took a sip of tea and sprayed it on the table...... (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
