After the flash, Zhao Dong Cloud slightly bowed his head and approached, "Duan Shuai, what you and I saw today is really a national fortune and a national comfort!"
Duan Qirui smiled bitterly in his heart after listening to it. He naturally met Zhao Dongyun today, which affected the whole situation in China. It was also a national and national happiness, but he was never happy because this kind of happiness was a failure to build himself.
Of course, he is also a politician who has been in China for many years like Zhao Dongyun. This self-restraint kung fu or facial kung fu is still very home. He also smiled like Zhao Dongyun.
"I’ve long wanted to come to the capital, but it’s always difficult to leave because of the customs!" Duan Qirui then turned to face all the people, including the officials from North Anhui who followed him to meet the Soviet officials. "This time Duan came to the capital with a determination that China’s reunification would strive to dedicate all its strength."
And I also believe that it is not far away for the president to lead the country and the nation to bring a new birthday! "
Zhao Dong Yunhe and Duan Qirui Train published the evening papers of Jingshi and Shanghai on the night of this small-scale public speech to the public.
It’s wet and cold in the sea street, and the newsboy walks barefoot and quickly in the dark street, waving his newspaper and shouting "extra extra!"
"Zhao Shuai and Duan Shuai met successfully in the capital this morning!"
Although the surrender of Anhui and Duan Qirui was announced by those three letters a few days ago, people were more surprised when they really heard that Duan Qirui was studying in Beijing. Duan Qirui North represents the end of an era and the complete demise of China and Anhui, which once ruled more than half of the south.
Many people gathered around the newsboy and took out coins and said, "Give me one!"
After reading the newspaper, a young man with a shaved head and foreign clothes whispered to his companion, "I didn’t expect Duan Hefei to lose. It seems that Zhao Suqian is expected to be completely unified in a year or two!"
On the other side, another young man with the same inch and foreign clothes snorted. "Whether Duan Hefei or Zhao Guangtou are feudal remnants, they are warlords under the banner of the Republic!"
"In the past two years, it was because these Beiyang dictatorial warlords fought in the country and the people were miserable. If these dictatorial warlords did not overthrow him, there would be absolutely no hope of achieving a complete Republic!"
"That’s right, but now Zhao Dongyun is too powerful, even it is quite unfavorable for our follow-up!" Another person put a newspaper and said with a sad face.
"I’m afraid that one day, Mr. Komura has promised to help us train a group of colleagues. When Mr. Zhongshan Qiao returns to China, we will set off a big storm for him, and this country will bring a real people’s Republic!"
When he said this, his face was full of expectation, as if he saw the people’s Republic of China in his heart!
"Yes, the situation in our country has been very unfavorable to us. I didn’t expect Duan Hefei to lose faster than we thought. Now we are running out of time. We must act as soon as possible, preferably in the middle of the year, or we will have no chance when the southern Federation is completely defeated!"
Just as the two young people were talking in a low voice, several others were holding newspapers and looking forward to someone’s face, expecting Zhao Dongyun to defeat warlords as soon as possible, bring true reunification to this country and end this war that has lasted for more than two years.
Some people think that Guangdong has been taken by the Soviet Union, and now the Soviet Union has controlled more than half of China. With the Soviet Union controlling most of the country and reforming the tax system in these newly occupied areas, the private establishment of Likin cards by local governments and warlords has been revoked, which is of great benefit to the circulation of Chinese businessmen, especially to the circulation of eastern coastal provinces.
This situation is extremely good news for the Chinese business community.
Why did the Chinese industrial and commercial circles support Zhao Dongyun so hard to support the Soviet Union in launching the war of national reunification? The important reason is that the Soviet Union’s policy of supporting industry and commerce and integrating taxation is very attractive to these businessmen, especially those who run industries.
The merchants behind the Soviet Union brought all kinds of businesses into various provinces and markets, especially those light industrial products, such as textiles, matches and soaps, which were needed for daily life, gradually occupied the southern provinces and markets with the pace of military service.
As the transportation of card information merchants in various places has been reduced, the selling price has been reduced accordingly, which gives them a greater price advantage. Compared with those imported foreign goods, the quality advantage of domestic goods is naturally not much. If you want to compete with foreign goods for the market, you have to pay back the price advantage.
However, the smooth flow of trade routes and the reduction of transportation have great strategic advantages for the reduction of domestic products
Zhao Dongyun decided to support the industrial and commercial integration tax system two years ago, which can be said to be the key policy of the rapid rise of the Soviet Union supported by the industrial and commercial circles in the past two years
Without these two policies, those businessmen who issued patriotic bonds by Zhao Dongyun would not buy them, which would make the Soviet Union lack enough war experience, especially in 1997, when businessmen enthusiastically bought patriotic bonds, which brought favorable support to the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of financial collapse at that time. Without the support of tens of millions of patriotic bonds in 1997, the Soviet Union’s finance could not last until the beginning of 19 th century, when it got the after-care loan.
And if the Soviet Union’s finance collapsed in 197, then it would be impossible to serve the South, because it would cost money to expand the army and fight.
It is inseparable that the contemporary Soviet Union can rise and it implements two key policies: supporting industry and commerce and integrating taxation.
With such a large group, Zhao Dongyun hopes that the economic policy of the Soviet Union will continue to go, and businessmen will support the Soviet Union. This is the key to the rapid expansion of the army and Lien Chan.
Although many people say that the contradiction in China is mainly the contradiction between farmers and land, whoever can get the support of farmers can get the sky, but this situation is a bit one-sided for China at present.
Zhao Dongyun’s main supporters are not farmers but business circles.
Of course, if the former Soviet Union and Anhui failed to compete for hegemony, Zhao Dong Yunjun was completely defeated and made a comeback. Zhao Dongyun did not rule out playing the so-called class enemy trick to kill landlords and divide land to regain hegemony advantage until the last step. Zhao Dongyun was unwilling to take this means that might make him suffer eternal infamy.
You know, no matter whether you are in charge of public opinion now or in the future, it is so-called knowledge points, but points are very hypocritical. No matter now or in the future, few knowledge points agree with or praise the radical agrarian revolution. Maybe now you can force them to do it with a knife, a gun and a bullet, but as soon as you turn around, people still pick up the pen and scold you. After decades, there will be several criticisms on your membership in the store, and gradually you will change from a’ great man’ to a’ zongzi’
Chapter four hundred and fifty Finance in 1999
Although Zhao Dongyun prides himself on being ruthless and thick-skinned, it doesn’t matter what future generations think of him, but since he can unify the country more peacefully and easily, why does he have to do such a thing that makes him bear the eternal blame?
Zhao Dongyun has to continue to support the industry and commerce in order to win over the industry and commerce, which can not only win over the loyalty of the industry and commerce, but also bring rich financial income to the Soviet Union.
Collecting industrial and commercial tax is much more than collecting an agricultural tax. At present, although agricultural tax is also important in Soviet fiscal revenue, it is different from relying on agricultural tax in feudal times. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the actual industrial and commercial tax has occupied the bulk of agricultural tax and dropped to the second largest tax source.
In the budget of the Soviet Union in 1999, the central national tax revenue is expected to reach 300 million yuan. However, the Chinese agricultural tax accounts for about 25%, and the business tax and value-added tax of the industrial and commercial sectors together account for about 55%, the salt tax accounts for about 15%, and other miscellaneous taxes account for the remaining 5%.
It can be seen that industrial and commercial tax has become the most important tax in contemporary China.
According to the local division of the estimated 300 million tax revenue, Fengtian province has contributed more than 60 million tax revenue, surpassing the largest tax province in Jiangsu. In just a few years, Fengtian’s fiscal revenue has increased from 10 million to 60 million, which is different from Zhao Dongyun’s vigorous development of Fengtian. The increase in agricultural tax for planting rice and soybeans in wasteland has also stimulated the development of soybean processing industry in Fengtian, and the textile industry has brought a lot of tax revenue to Fengtian.
Fengtian came to Jiangsu, a strong province with unified economy. Although Jiangsu has experienced two years of war damage, both Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun will try their best to avoid damaging the local economy when they fight in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the situation in Jiangsu has not been very good in the past two years, the Ministry of Finance predicts that Jiangsu’s fiscal revenue will return to the previous year’s level and is expected to reach 50 million yuan this year.
In addition, the situation in Guangdong is similar to that in Jiangsu, and it has also been affected by the war, which has brought economic development to a standstill. The Ministry of Finance predicts that after the Soviet Union takes over Guangdong, it will carry out a series of fiscal consolidation, which is expected to collect nearly 50 million yuan in tax revenue from Guangdong.
Then there are Tangshan Administrative Office, Zhili and Zhejiang. Tangshan Administrative Office has developed into the largest heavy industry base in China because of Tangshan Industrial Zone. Although the area contributes little salt tax and agricultural tax, the population in the jurisdiction is not large, but it can’t stand the development of other people’s industries. The Ministry of Finance predicts that Tangshan Administrative Office is expected to receive 30 million yuan of national tax revenue from the central government in 1999, and Luanzhou, a county-level city alone, will receive the first five million yuan of national tax revenue.
In recent years, Zhili has also developed a certain degree of industry and commerce, especially textiles and other light industries. In addition, Zhili is also driven by big cities such as Tianjin and Jingshi, and the Tangshan industrial zone is also more powerful in stimulating the economy of nearby Zhili areas. Although Zhili does not have many industries that can be scaled up, its contribution tax level is not bad. The Ministry of Finance predicts that it will receive 30 million less national tax revenue from the province in 1999.
In Zhejiang, because the Jiafeng army took northern Zhejiang earlier, after half a year’s recovery, the whole Zhejiang province can also earn about 20 million yuan in national tax revenue
Fujian, Jiangxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui and China are all economically backward provinces, and each province can collect about 10 million to 20 million taxes.
The above taxes add up, and the forecast given by the Ministry of Finance is 300 million!
And it is worth noting that the statistics of the Soviet Ministry of Finance are national taxes and do not include local taxes!
After the reorganization of the financial system in the Soviet Union, although the Ministry of Finance said that it was a unified collection of taxes, it was impossible to enrich all the money into the state treasury. You still have to leave a certain proportion of taxes for local governments at all levels. These local taxes are referred to as local taxes. Although you can also count these money into the overall national fiscal revenue, it has no practical significance for the Soviet Union’s finance, because those local taxes are not managed by the Ministry of Finance and belong to local governments at all levels.
It is still the most typical example of Luanzhou city. The city predicts that in 1999, it will pay 15 million national taxes to the state treasury, and there will be about 5 million local taxes. This is 5 million. If it is in the eyes of other warlords, it must be used to expand the army and buy arms. However, according to the Soviet tax system, most of the 5 million won will be kept by the local government of Luanzhou County except for part of the provincial finance.
How to spend this money is a matter for the Luanzhou county government and the central government, but how do Luanzhou counties and cities spend such a huge portion of local income? At present, it is mainly to carry out urban reconstruction, planning and construction, traffic reconstruction and other educational administrative personnel welfare
In 19 years, Luanzhou county and city officially allocated funds to set up education, and three new high schools were built in one breath, namely Luanzhou county high school, which was officially run 3; Tangshan Industrial Middle School, which is jointly organized by the government and Tangshan Industrial Company, is a supplement to Tangshan Industrial University. In addition, there is Yongping High School.
It’s not so easy to run a high school these days. It’s very simple for you to run a primary school, but it’s also feasible to run a junior high school, and it’s not too difficult to run a normal school. But it’s not much easier for you to run a high school than to run a university or a normal school.
Another term for high school is that the ultimate goal of preparatory school students attending high school is to apply for universities or simply study abroad.
Luanzhou county has set up three high schools with deep pockets, all of which recruit students for the country. In addition, Luanzhou county has also officially allocated funds to set up more than 20 primary schools and junior high schools. The continuous investment of official deep pockets has made Luanzhou the country with the largest number of government-run schools, and at the same time, the densest cities of high schools, even the metropolitan cities such as Jingshi, Tianjin and Shanghai are not as good as it.
Luanzhou spends more money on education, even if Zhao Dongyun is jealous, he can’t take it out directly, because it will shake the most fundamental tax system currently implemented in the Soviet Union.
In the Soviet financial system, the Ministry of Finance uniformly collects taxes, which are divided into national taxes and local taxes.
In this body, the better the local economy develops, the more local taxes will be retained, and the more local money there will be, and the more local officials can move money and have more money in their hands, so it is easier for them to achieve political achievements, whether they are running education or developing industry.
Of course, if there is more local money, local government officials and ordinary employees will get more salary.
Zhao Dongyun pays high salaries to officials, but these salaries are paid directly by the state treasury. If the economy develops well, local governments will naturally pay more benefits to government employees.
The Soviet government’s support for the industrial and commercial circles to develop industry is not only a central policy, but also a matter that local governments strive for.
After Duan Qirui arrived in the capital, he first talked with Zhao Dongyun privately for several times about what was naturally unknown to outsiders.
Later, Duan Qirui was the deputy marshal of the official high command, and he also retained the position of chief of the war department and the rank of general of the army
After Duan Qirui arrived in the capital, his actions in the southern part of the country did not stop. On the one hand, he sent troops into Guangdong to completely accept the reorganization of the Anhui army. On the other hand, the strategic arrangement of serving the army in the war department also launched a large-scale offensive in the new year
The direction of attack is Hunan’s main Hubei and Guangxi’s auxiliary.
In the direction of Guangxi, Jiang Guiti frowned and looked at Wuzhou in the distance. The emissary he had sent to Wuzhou had been driven back by Wang Zhanyuan.
Jiang Guiti changed his allegiance to the central government, but it didn’t really change much for him. He is still the fourth lieutenant general of the Sixth Huncheng Brigade.
After Fengjun entered Guangdong, his sixth Huncheng Brigade was under the jurisdiction of Xu Bangjie’s second army, and at the same time it was under the jurisdiction of the second army. After the reorganization of the 24 th Division, the fourth division will be incorporated into the fourth army.
Of course, the 20th Division and the 4th Division are under the jurisdiction of two armies respectively, so as to avoid that these old Anhui troops will be huddled together and affect the follow-up reorganization of Fengjun.
At present, the 4th Division and 24th Division are still regrouping in Guangdong, and it is impossible to fight in the battlefield for a short time. However, the 6th HunChengLv in Jiang Guiti is not like this. The 6th HunChengLv has always maintained a complete establishment and Zhao Dongyun promised to give preferential treatment to Jiang Guiti, which made the 6th HunChengLv change little.
After being incorporated into the second army, Jiang Guiti Sixth Huncheng Brigade was ordered to enter the strategic deployment of Guangxi due to the war. Xu Bangjie’s second army will be stationed in Guangdong and will also undertake the directional war against Guangxi.
The Sixth Hunchenglv in Jiang Guiti soon left Guangdong and then went straight to Guangxi.
Before coming to Guangxi, Jiang Guiti not only met Xu Bangjie, but also had a prejudice with Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Yong. The so-called thing is to find out what he will do when he arrives in Guangxi.
At the beginning, Xu Bangjie politely told him, "You should do whatever I give you, and you won’t care if you do it!"
Although Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Yongcheng speak differently, they express the same meaning, that is, "Keep your tail tight and be positive!"
So Jiang Guiti, a veteran of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, knew in his heart that he didn’t worry about anything when he arrived in Guangxi, even if Wuzhou met Wang Zhanyuan. After reporting directly to the Second Military Department, Xu Bangjie gave him an order: "Take back Wang Zhanyuan, Guangxi, and fight if you block the front!"
Jiang Guiti looked back at Wuzhou City and then turned to ask the adjutant around him, "Where is the tenth division?"
"The handsome troops are 30 kilometers away from us, and it is expected that the forward troops will be able to reach us!" Next to the adjutant replied.
