Gengjuan Chapter 44 Crazy robbery
Yang Rui didn't know that in fact, the movie subtitles were actually typed, and he was always thinking about how the film industry should develop when the movie was screened.
He was thinking about some film industry development plans, but he didn't want the mournful music in the screening hall to sound, and the story had come to an end: on the battlefield after the tragic battle, Sun Chuanting's corpse lay ambush among many corpses, and his body was full of arrow feathers; On the river, Wu Youke returned to Suzhou with women and children, and wrote about the plague by the sunny lake; Finally, there are two subtitles: one is that Sun Chuanting died on the battlefield, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide in the coal mountain; In addition, Wu Youke returned to Suzhou in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and completed the immortal masterpiece on plague in the following year, leading the world for nearly 200 years to pioneer virology and virus transmission methods.
When I remembered the song at the end, the women's cries also rang out, there were two by Yang Rui's side, there seemed to be four or five by Zhang Taiyan, and one from Qiu Jin's side, fortunately, they all knew that this was not home, and the crying stopped when the music was about to end. At this time, Yang Rui took the lead in applauding, and under the light that had just turned on, he stood up and looked at the crew in the back seat applauding, and Zhang Taiyan, Qiu Jin and others also stood up and applauded.
"Excellent! Very good! Yang Rui pretended to have never seen this movie and praised the crew, which made the director and actors embarrassed. Although the movie cost 200,000 taels, it is worth it, and the 200,000 will be recovered soon, so don't forget to ask for a bonus when the time comes. β
Yang Rui said kindly, and everyone laughed, but Qiu Jin said: "Why can't the ending be ......?"
Qiu Jin's eyes were red under the light. It seems that it was not his daughter who was crying just now, but she was crying herself. I will cry because of commitment, and I hope that the ending will be better is also because of commitment. But normal everyone knows that the death of the Ming Dynasty has become history and cannot be changed.
Qiu Jin stopped before he finished speaking, and Yang Rui said, "Good shooting." The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and the descendants mourn it, and the descendants mourn it without learning from it, and it also makes the descendants mourn the future generations, and the meaning of this movie is here. β
"Your Excellency Prime Minister! Your Excellency, Prime Minister! The directors didn't know that this film was what Yang Rui was going to shoot, and they were very moved by his praise.
Yang Rui said. Zhang Taiyan glanced at Yang Rui meaningfully, and only said: "The rise and fall of the dynasty is the only way of medicine that lasts." This is probably the biggest lesson that this movie gives us. β
Zhang Taiyan is smart after all, this is the theme of the movie, but few people pay attention to it. He was so broken, Yang Rui glanced at him and only told Wang Xiaolin about the ideas just now: "Since the movie has subtitles, then change it to English, and then contact the CIA to see if it can be screened in the United States." β
"Understood. Mr. Wang Xiaolin's face was full of sternness, he actually had another arduous task, that is, to copy it quickly, and then organize the tax police, patrol police, and revival army across the country to read it. This was the ideological mobilization before the land reform. No matter what the final land reform plan is, the pen and gun must be firmly grasped.
After Yang Rui explained to Wang Xiaolin, the women were already chattering together. The crew also retreated, and Zhang Taiyan suddenly asked at this time: "It's done." To borrow a phrase from the movie: the prime minister's heart is full of murder, which makes people shudder. β
In addition to the addition of the film's brutal attack on the Tatars outside the gates. It is mainly believed that the biggest reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was natural disasters and man-made disasters, of which man-made disasters - land annexation are the most important. The scene of killing the gentry in the movie makes people's blood boil, but Zhang Taiyan saw the political intentions of the film from it, so he said this.
"If you are not full of murderous spirit, how can you sweep away the filthy old evils and return the people to a bright future." Yang Rui said bluntly: "Uncle Mei, this time, no matter whether it is reasonable or reasonable, you have to stand on my side." β
"I'm in favor of equalizing the land, but the gentry are also people, and it's better not to kill if they can." Zhang Taiyan said. He walked with Yang Rui as he spoke, and the two walked until they reached the birch tree in the courtyard of the Film Bureau.
"Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, tens of thousands of people have died in rent reduction, and I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will die in Jundi." Yang Rui sighed, "How can a country not be destroyed? My understanding is that policies should not only serve a few, but should benefit the vast majority. Of course, there is no equalization of benefits in order to please those at the bottom, which is why the constitution says that if you don't pay taxes, you don't have the right to vote. Although everyone now agrees with this policy, when our generation dies, future generations will always make a fuss about universal suffrage, and if we want to not disrupt the country in the future, then we must press the rich and pull the poor now, so that everyone can get rich together and the gap between the rich and the poor will not be too large. β
"And what do you want to do?" Under the street lamp, Zhang Taiyan's white paper fan suddenly opened, and it was unusually white.
"How? Hey, I used to think about redeeming it at parity, but now that I watched the movie, and then I think that it costs money everywhere, I feel that it is better not to use silver, but to redeem it with stocks and grain. Yang Rui lit a cigarette and said with some hesitation. Land reform, World War I profits, and the war against the Soviet Union, these three land reforms were the first, and he couldn't predict how much money he could earn in World War I, so the plan could only be strict, otherwise the First World War would end after two years, and the government's credit would go bankrupt.
"I remember when I was in Hong Kong......" Zhang Taiyan stopped his fan, and suddenly remembered the Hong Kong conference a few years ago.
"That's because our foundation is not stable, but now if we want to make the country rich and strong, the treatment of low-level tenant farmers must be improved, otherwise if someone fights local tyrants and divides the land like we do in Yanzhou, the world will be chaotic." Yang Rui said. "Education needs 300 million taels a year; The construction of the transportation network needs 3.8 billion taels; And how much does it cost to make agricultural technology? Tao Huanqing hasn't given me a budget yet, pesticides and fertilizers are profitable, this is easy to solve, as long as there is a year's investment, it can be recycled, but what about farmland water conservancy? Although it is possible to mobilize farmers to repair it by themselves like Yizhou, it still needs money. β
The investment in education comes from the annual tax, but the construction of the transportation network of 3.8 billion can only count on the profits of the European war, Zhang Taiyan, who has never cared about the blockage, couldn't help asking: "How much money can Europe make?" β
"I don't know yet." Yang Rui smiled, "The key is to look at shipbuilding and shipping. It would be great to be able to earn 1.5 billion or 6 billion yuan by selling weapons and military supplies, and shipping is the main source of money. The war really had to be fought for four or five years, and at the same time Germany resorted to unrestricted submarine warfare. That might make more than 3 billion, or even 4 billion. But there will be no less people who will die. But if the war ends soon......"
Speaking of this, Yang Rui was a little silent, and he muttered: "Actually, there is another key problem. In addition to the US dollar, the money we received was all non-convertible banknotes, and these money could only be used to buy goods from abroad, and in the second year of Shenwu before the start of the war, for example, the total price of the goods we purchased from foreign countries was more than 500 million taels ......."
The annual payment of imported goods in pounds and dollars was 500 million in the past, but after the war, it was feared that it would rise to 890 million, and even if the tariffs were to be autonomous, the import value would not be less than 500 million taels. That's enough, three billion foreign currencies will be digested in six years, and four billion in eight years, and the risk of not converting huΓ n banknotes will not exist. Yang Rui figured out this section and said: "As long as you collect pounds or dollars, money is not a problem, and now I am worried that the European war will not last long, and I am worried that it will not be miserable." The longer the war in Europe is fought, the more money we make, and the worse the war, the less power we will have to interfere after the war. Just as Europe's prosperity benefited from the gold and silver of the Americas, so our revival is to be built on the flesh and blood of Europe. β
Zhang Taiyan is a humble gentleman. Listening to Yang Rui's direct description of the mystery of revival, he sighed at the moment, and then looked at the moon with his hand in his hand and said: "If you don't evolve, you will die; Evolve. Murder is life. Is this the advanced civilization of the West? β
"It is better to die than to die to an outsider." Yang Rui also looked at Yue Dao, "The European war is such a good opportunity. We have taken this opportunity not only to earn billions to govern the country, but also to completely wipe out the internal situation. The land is equalized, so that the country can be truly stable. After the war, if we abolish the unequal treaties and regain the lost territory, the task of our people will be completed. β
"What about the doctor?" Zhang Taiyan finally asked, "Do you really want to implement this?" β
"Let's just let the people make trouble." Yang Rui was indifferent to this, "But I think if you don't promote any ideas, then this position will be occupied by other things sooner or later, this is either British and American utilitarianism, or German and Russian absolute rationality, anyway, there is no good thing." Uncle Mei, your idea is good, but the problem is that people don't eat this set now, after the popularization of education, what they believe is extremely important, and we can't lose the right to speak. β
"Patriotism is not enough?" After the last quarrel, in retrospect, Zhang Taiyan also understood Yang Rui's hard work, and there were no believers at all.
"It's not enough." Yang Rui subconsciously shook his head. The west wind is gradually falling in the east, and once the gap between the rich and the poor is strict, he cannot know how many people love the country. Standing in his current position and combined with history, he has completed the process of being able to see clearly the evolution of modern Chinese thought - he began to study the West after the First Sino-Japanese War, and this kind of thinking reached its peak after the establishment of the Republic of China by the Xinhai Revolution, but this path was wrong. The catastrophe of World War I European civilization and the disappointment with the Paris Peace Conference made the Chinese people turn their attention to the Soviet Union, but they did not want to think that this was actually Western civilization, but it was just another branch. With China's current state of affairs, when disappointed with the merchant thinking represented by Britain and the United States, what will the reader believe?
"Are you worried about the revolutionary parties in Russia?" Zhang Taiyan suddenly guessed Yang Rui's mind and got to the point.
"Well, that's true." Yang Rui said. "The power of ideas cannot be underestimated, especially in Russia."
"Even if they can succeed, I'm afraid it will take several years before they can stabilize the country." Zhang Taiyan thought about the Russians he met when he founded the country, especially the bald man among them.
"They don't recognize any country or nation in the first place, and what they will recognize is a fake." Yang Rui said, "And things will not be so simple, democratic republic and Marxism are actually the same thing." The people who preach these two things are mixed together, and in the beginning, everyone preaches democracy, and when the time comes, then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong, after all, the ideology of both is the same, both are rationalism. It's just that those who preach democracy are more philistine, and they will count human lives and costs when doing things; But those who preach Max will obey the leader and be difficult to deal with. β
"So you have to divide the land first?" Zhang Taiyan heard Yang Rui say more than once that the two ideas are of the same origin, and the monitoring of the Ministry of Rites has never favored one over the other.
"That's what it means." Yang Rui nodded again, and then stopped talking. And the women saw the man talking, and immediately took a short turn in the courtyard of the film bureau, and it took a while to turn back.
Qiu Jin is not Zhang Taiyan after all, she was immersed in the movie, and she didn't realize that this was a harbinger of land reform. Although she already knows the rough scheme of land reform. She held Cheng Ying on the one hand, and Tang Guoli on the other. When he saw Zhang Taiyan, he said: "Uncle Mei, watching the movie only makes people cry." I'm afraid I won't be able to laugh for months, your Ministry of Rites is afraid of this kind of movie, is this going to cry Emperor Chongzhen all over the world? β
Qiu Jin's words were crisp and bright, Zhang Taiyan didn't know why he just snorted, but fortunately, Yang Rui smiled: "It's not easy to laugh, the Film Bureau also filmed a Journey to the West, although it is only one episode, but it is quite interesting to see the monkey jumping out of the stone." β
"Journey to the West?" A group of people exclaimed in unison. Yang Wuming also hurriedly rushed over from his mother's side.
"Yes, Journey to the West. Twenty-five episodes are scheduled now, and maybe a few more episodes will be filmed in the future. Yang Rui smiled: "By the way, I also made a Bao Qingtian series, which are all money-saving movies, and ...... I can't remember anything else. β
"Can you see it at the end of the year?" The woman was very pleasantly surprised, and the sadness of the previous movie had been dispelled at this time.
"Don't ask me about this, everyone will be able to see it then." After Yang Rui finished speaking, he greeted everyone again. Then he took Cheng Ying and his son to the carriage and went home. He thought he could go to bed early, but he didn't want Yang Wuming to only watch the Journey to the West TV series in his notebook, but he had never heard of Bao Qingtian, so he told half a loud story. Then I went to sleep.
The next day was already August 11, and he was going to leave for Shanghai today to participate in the expo the day after tomorrow, thinking that there was nothing to do. But Tao Chengzhang didn't know why he found it. When he sat down, Yang Rui hadn't asked yet. Tao Chengzhang stretched out a slap and shouted: "Brother Chengcheng, I want 500 million!" 500 million taels of silver! β
Early in the morning came a guy asking for money. Yang Rui, who had always been polite to Tao Chengzhang, smiled and said, "What do you want 500 million taels for, do you want to marry a wife?" β
Seeing that Yang Rui was deliberately laughing, Tao Chengzhang took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "Although the draft of agricultural science has not been made, the budget has still come out......
When he said this, Yang Rui smiled even more, and he said: "You don't have a plan, how can you budget?" Are you afraid that the draft of the Ministry of Agriculture will be late in the end, and you are worried that the money will be taken away by other parts? β
In Yang Rui's words, Tao Chengzhang confessed: "The school department took 300 million taels, and it was 300 million per year; The Ministry of Transport said before that it would build roads, and there were railways and shipping before, so I am afraid that there will be nothing on the side of the Ministry of Agriculture. β
"If you don't, you'll issue bonds." Yang Rui said. "In fact, the Ministry of Agriculture needs the least amount of money, pesticides and fertilizers are good projects to make money, why do you need so much money?"
"But what about agricultural improvement? What about the promotion of new species? In addition, whether it is irrigation or ploughing, there must always be a diesel engine on the ground. Tao Chengzhang said stubbornly. Now the walk-behind tractor is only 200 taels, I heard that if it is made more, it can be much cheaper, what if the Ministry of Agriculture orders 2 million units? What do you think? β
"Ahem... cough ...... "As soon as he opened his mouth, it was two million units, and Yang Rui squirted out a mouthful of tea, but Tao Chengzhang was not affected, and only continued: "Although two hundred taels is expensive, it is a four-horse machine, and I usually don't want feed. Last year in the United States, I saw that their four-wheeled cars cost only 600 taels, so I went to talk to someone from Ford, and they said that if Ford accepted an order for 2 million Model T, the price of the car could be reduced by 30 percent, and it would only cost 400 taels per car. β
"Huanqing, the Ministry of Industry is studying how to reduce the cost of walk-behind tractors, but it cannot be completed in a short period of time." Yang Rui said. "And a car is a car, it's not the same as a tractor."
"But the Ford car has four wheels, and the engine is four cylinders and twenty horsepower; What about walk-behind tractors? There are only three wheels, and the horsepower is still only four horses, and it is still a single cylinder. People sell it for 600 taels, and it only costs 400 taels for large-scale manufacturing, and our stuff is always okay for 100 taels. Tao Chengzhang seems to have studied the Ford Model T in detail in the United States, so he is now using Ford to reduce the price.
"But we're diesel." Yang Rui emphasized: "Two wheels are enough to be exact, and the small one in the back can be removed." But even so, it would cost one hundred and fifty taels. β
As soon as Yang Rui said one hundred and fifty taels, Tao Chengzhang silently calculated in his heart, a big ploughing cow sixty to seventy taels, a big cattle thirty to forty taels, the tractor is more than twice as expensive, but the tractor usually does not serve, save feed, and the life is not short, according to the technicians, the maintenance is good, and only plough the land, with 20 years is no problem......
When Yang Rui saw him, he felt that the matter was very nonsensical, and immediately said: "You better come up with the draft of agricultural science first." I promise I'll raise money. And your two million walk-behind tractors, don't you think about it. In many places where there are no roads, how can this diesel be transported in? β
"Diesel safety. Even the back can be carried in. Tao Chengzhang secretly calculated, but still did not give up on the tractor, and said: "It is done, as long as the government sticks 90 taels per unit, a total subsidy of 180 million taels, this thing will be done." Two million tractors, an average of 1,500 tractors per county, which is equivalent to four or five thousand ploughing cattle.
There is also a plan for the scientific development of agriculture, which I have already thought in my head, and agriculture should be revitalized. In the first five years, it is necessary to build dams, plant trees, build water conservancy, and build reservoirs in order to reduce and avoid disasters. In another ten years, many agricultural students will graduate from the school, and the improved seeds, fertilizer factories, and pesticide factories in the experimental field should also be built, and agricultural chemistry can begin; In the next decade, the peasants will also be rich, and the effect of education popularization will also come out, so that agriculture will be scientific, and everyone will have the money to buy machines. The ability to learn knowledge is the only way to truly implement science.
At present, the biggest problems in agriculture are floods, droughts, and locust plagues -- just now, the whole province of Anhui is suffering from locust plagues -- so the most important thing is to build dams, plant trees, build water conservancy, and build reservoirs. According to the report of the Ministry of Land, the planting of trees does not count, and the embankments in various places will be completely overhauled soon. And the sooner the better; Then there is the diesel engine pump, and the Ministry of Agriculture had better order 100,000 sets. In the future, where the drought is severe, the water will be pumped there; The locust plague is really helpless. Only prevention.
Another problem is that farmers do not have enough cattle, more than 6 and a half of the farmers not only do not plough cattle, but many do not even have donkeys; There are also farm tools, such as ploughshares, I know that it is good, but farmers just can't afford it, and they are worried about whether it is worth buying. β
"Huanqing, you have to get it too, you have to get it too, let's come up with a number first, otherwise how to plan." Yang Rui felt that the morning was all delayed by Tao Chengzhang, and he was so excited, if it weren't for the tragic fate of his later life, he would have been driven out a long time ago.
"There are numbers." After talking for a long time, Tao Chengzhang only remembered that he still had a piece of paper in his hand, and said: "The embankment is the most important, after we and the Ministry of Soil combined, we think that in the next three years, at least 100 million taels will be invested in disaster prevention and risk resistance, and then the popularization of walk-behind tractors and new farm tools, I count 1821 tractors, here are 360 million, and the remaining 40 million is the promotion of new farm tools and improved seeds, as well as the construction of fertilizer and pesticide factories, adding up to 500 million." β
Tao Chengzhang finished reading the numbers on the paper, and was afraid that this thin piece of paper would not be convincing: he continued: "Everything is in my head, I just haven't sorted them out and written them on paper for the time being." If you don't understand something, just ask. β
Originally, it was agricultural chemicalization, and he didn't want Tao Chengzhang's budget to be smashed on the tractor, Yang Rui asked the question he was most concerned about: "I won't ask anything else, just ask about fertilizer." At present, the synthetic ammonia plant of the Ministry of Industry has an output of only 500,000 tons, what is the plan of your Ministry of Agriculture, and how many fertilizer plants will be built in the country? β
"500,000 tons of synthetic ammonia can produce 2 million tons of ammonium sulfate." Tao Chengzhang said: "According to the Ministry of Agriculture, among the three types of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in fertilizer, only nitrogen fertilizer has the best effect on increasing yield, and the number jΓΉ taken out by the horticultural farm is 1:3.13......" [Note:]
"What do you mean?" Yang Rui is very interested in this number.
"It's just that one pound of ammonium sulfate can be exchanged for more than three pounds of grain." Tao Chengzhang said, "Ammonium fertilizer has the best effect on cereals, and if it is combined with phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, and organic fertilizer, the yield increase effect can reach 80%." β
"Then how much do you sell for a pound of ammonium sulfate?" Hearing the one-to-three fat effect, Yang Rui was still a little disappointed.
"It's about 521 tons, and one stone is 225 yuan, and the price is only one-third or even one-quarter of the imported fertilizer flour. The foreigners have calculated that the price of grain is about two taels, so they set the price of fertilizer so high, and they also know that farmers buy chemical fertilizer and mix it with organic fertilizer, and the effect of increasing production is better. Tao Chengzhang said: "Actually, this is already very cheap, and now the price of soybean cake is also rising, one stone will be sold for two taels of silver, and the fertilizer effect is not as good as ammonium sulfate." I can guarantee that if the ammonium sulfate at this price is sold, it will be robbed all over the world. (To be continued......)
