For example, the permanent brand bicycles produced in Shanghai are 200 per county in the Ministry of Commerce's plan, and they originally thought that this thing might not be easy to sell. But what I didn't expect was that the fluctuations in society also caused the exchange of personnel, bicycles have been known by many people, coupled with the vigorous publicity of domestic products in the newspapers, not only the residents of the county are very enthusiastic about buying, but also those towns and villages have people who come to the city to buy.

Bicycles are not too expensive, more than 10 oceans one, this thing can not only travel but also pull goods, Chinese people have a good income during this period of time, and most families can afford to buy it. Trust the relationship, find someone, you can only buy it if you have acquaintances in the department store, and the relationship must be hard enough.

Department stores opened nationwide on September 20, and by September 21, all the stores had sold out of bicycles. The Ministry of Commerce immediately sent a telegram to the car in Shanghai, and the production began in a hurry day and night.

Some foreign goods are also in short supply, and the Ministry of Commerce imported a batch of American-made hot water bottles from the Philippines, and at the beginning ordered more than two million water bottles, which were gone when they opened. Hurry up and tell the Americans that we will send a few million to the emergency, and there may be more in the future. The American businessman was suddenly a little stunned, this amount is a bit huge for him, the time given by the Chinese is obviously a little insufficient, and he is still thinking about discussing whether he can have a grace period of a few days, and the French and Italians immediately came to the door.

Department stores are a bridge that connects the entire Chinese buyer's market with sellers, and Western economic experts have immediately noticed this phenomenon, recognizing that China's commodity shortage can alleviate the West's "commodity surplus" to the greatest extent. It is quite beneficial for the recovery of the domestic economy, and they suggest that the government immediately start negotiations with China to allow more domestic goods to enter China's department stores to purchase bills.

When the Chinese delegation visited Britain, the British were supposed to have their prime minister come forward to negotiate with Li Yuanhong, and the trip was only three days, which was in line with the international practice of reciprocal reception.

However, after Li Yuanhong arrived in London, not only the British Prime Minister came, but even their queen came to welcome him, and the British side temporarily informed China that his itinerary in London might be changed to a week. Because some British businessmen are proposing to the government to have in-depth exchanges with China.

Even small countries like Luxembourg have extended invitations to the Chinese mission.

In addition, in terms of domestic economic development, department stores also solved another problem for Yang Xiaolin. It is to quickly stabilize the price fluctuations throughout the country.

After the war, prices in many parts of China were unbalanced, and coupled with geographical differences, the same commodity was sold in Beijing for one ocean, and it may cost two oceans when it arrived in Sichuan. It's still a price today, and it may change again tomorrow morning. This chaos has brought serious obstacles to China's economic development. Yuan Datou has only been circulating for less than a year. At this time, the authority of the currency must be ensured.

The Department of Commerce has proposed two solutions. One is to deal with this kind of problem in the same way that previous Chinese dynasties have approached, which is to impose regulations, which is the means that our current government occasionally uses to land hard. The results are sure to be immediate. But no one knows how much damage they will take.

There is also the use of Western countries' methods, soft landing. The damage to China's economy is relatively small, but the effect is not so obvious, so we should take it slowly.

Just when the central government could not decide which method to take, after the establishment of the department store, this problem was immediately solved, and most of the goods were sold here, and the prices of the whole country were basically not much different, and the price fluctuations in various places were immediately stabilized.

Of course, the shortcomings are not without it, after the opening of department stores, it has caused a devastating blow to some retail stores, and this contradiction is very intensified. It is important to know that the biggest advantage of the chain sales is the smooth channel, and because the purchase volume is very huge, it can lower the price of the supplier, which makes the small traders and vendors who rely on mule and horse transportation unbearable, and the selling price of goods in department stores is cheaper than their purchase price, and their business can not continue.

The Chinese do not dare to argue with the government, but they will still secretly sow some resentment. In many places, department stores have door locks blocked, and in one county town in Guizhou, the door is even smeared with feces.

The local government has taken this kind of matter seriously, and there are people who have been arrested and are ready to be sentenced. However, the central authorities quickly issued instructions that these people should be lenient and that education and education should be forgotten. To understand people's feelings, even if your policy satisfies businesses and people, but are you really ruining people's jobs?

As with any policy, you can't make everyone happy, you can only say try to improve it. For those whose interests have been harmed by the policy, it does not mean that there will be no contradictions if you arrest people. Thinking about how to make up for the losses of these people, or finding other ways for them is what the government should do.

Sheng Huaixuan's opinion is to wait a minute, when the road is repaired and the freight can be slightly lower, those small traders who have registered with the government can let them come to the department store to buy goods, and the price can be discounted a little more.

In fact, Yang Xiaolin really hopes that there will be a large chain enterprise to replace the department store, or that there can be more such a model of the retail industry to rise, breaking the current state-owned store monopoly model, although at this stage this department store has been unanimously recognized by merchants and the people, but the monopoly model is really not suitable for long-term development.

On the whole, their policy implementation is still good, not very perfect, but the infrastructure construction is very smooth, the development of industry and commerce has also taken off, and the people find themselves suddenly busy, as if it is from the formation of Yang Xiaolin's team, they are not worried about life all day long, but worry about work. When I wake up every morning, the first thing that comes to mind is no longer what to eat today, but so much work in my hands, can I finish it at night?

The Chinese train is finally moving along the track designed by Yang Xiaolin.

The people have become busy, and Yang Xiaolin is also busy. The rhythm of the whole of China unconsciously slowed down, and no one noticed that the leaves on the roadside slowly turned yellow, first falling in pieces, and then flying like snowflakes, until the trunks of the trees were bare by the wind, and many people realized that autumn was coming.

For Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, this autumn was really annoying.

The defeat in the war with China dealt a fatal blow to Russia's military power in the Far East and called into question the Tsar's authority at home. If it weren't for the fact that General Brushinov fought a beautiful battle against Turkey later, what kind of storm the crumbling regime was going to blow really no one could say.

The victory in the battle against Turkey really only slightly relieved the pressure on Nicholas II, as can be seen from the soldiers and weapons he gave to General Brushinov during the war. The once majestic gendarmes of Europe. It's old now.

Britain and France were clearly well aware of the plight faced by the Russians, and in mediating the Russo-Turkish war, the attitude of Britain and France was clearly biased in favor of Russia, allowing Russia to obtain 200,000 square kilometers of land from Turkey. At the same time, a large amount of material support was given to the Russians. They hoped that Nicholas II would hold out. As long as this polar bear is alive. There would be no stability in the rear of the Germans, and several countries in the Balkans would not all fall into the arms of the Allies.

Nicholas II apparently also knew what Britain and France were helping Russia for, so even now the situation at home was already bad. Russia also began to recruit troops on a large scale, and transferred its military strength to the border areas between Russia and Austria-Hungary as much as possible.

On August 10, two months earlier, Stessel's 3,000-strong troops, who had escaped from a Chinese prisoner camp, entered the Russian region of Siberia and sought refuge from the Russian government.

Lao Maozi really intended to protect these people at first, and the first order issued by Nicholas II to the governor of the Siberian region was to properly settle these people. But then the Chinese side lodged a solemn protest against Russia.

The Chinese side said that the moment they escaped from the camp, they were destined to no longer be treated as prisoners of war, that they had lost their status as combatants, and that if the Russian side offered them asylum, China would see it as a provocation.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Du made it clear that he hoped that both China and Russia would abide by the peace agreement they had just signed and would not support each other's hostile forces. If Russia breaks the treaty without authorization, then China will think that the Russians have torn up the agreement.

Britain and France really didn't want Lao Maozi to fight with China again at this time, they wanted China to slowly get closer to them and use China to contain Japan. It would be more desirable that Nicholas II would focus all his attention on Europe.

The French government immediately issued a statement expressing its support for China's attitude, and at the same time hoped that the Russians would not act irrationally, and that if a conflict broke out between China and Russia again because of this incident, Russia would be responsible for all the consequences, and France would strictly maintain neutrality.

Under pressure from Britain and France, Nicholas II finally made a decision, declaring that the Russian side would not give any help to the Stessels and asking the Siberian side to "send them out of the country as a gift". At the same time, Nicholas II also said that he hoped that these people would return to the Chinese side and surrender themselves, and that as long as they reappeared in the Chinese prisoner of war camps, Russia would use legitimate means to ensure their interests, and promised to take them back to China in the near future.

After the Tsar's decision was made, Stessel did not go back to China to surrender as the Tsar said, but he actually chose to shoot at those Russian soldiers when he was treated as a "courtesy" by the Russian troops!

An armed conflict broke out in Novosibirsk between their troops and Russian units. Although they were absolutely inferior in numbers and weapons, the Russian soldiers were reluctant to shoot at the Stessels, and they felt in their hearts that these comrades who had escaped from the Chinese prisoner of war camps were real warriors, and they had been treated unfairly.

The turmoil intensified, and in two months Stessel's troops occupied most of Siberia, and the number of soldiers grew from more than 3,000 to more than 20,000, and they also openly established a new government, the Great Siberian Republic, and they openly shouted the slogans of "Down with the Tsar" and "Siberian independence", and most of the Mongols and Russians in Siberia became their supporters. It was only at this time that Nicholas II hastily mobilized troops to come to encircle and suppress. (To be continued......)
