When the Duo Eaters who were on a hostage mission were killed, the people living at the border of various places also began to migrate long distances.
They had to give up their original places of residence and move to the east. At the same time, they had to join the Great Tang.
Once the border was no longer dangerous, they could come back if they wanted to. If they didn't want to, they could go anywhere in the Great Tang. They could even settle down in Sanshui County as long as they could find a suitable job and buy a house in Sanshui County.
For a period of time, only the Great Tang soldiers would be left at the border. There would be no other people. This was a loss for the Great Tang, but it was also a gain.
The loss was the local products, while the gain was a group of people who had no concept of country. The domestic construction required a large number of people. When the children were still young and their productivity was low, the handicraft industry was the best supplement and could be developed in a more labor-intensive way.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about this. It seemed that the local products were missing, but that location could be left as a backup plan. For the time being, they had to solve the problem of population flow.
"The population of the cities with convenient water, land, road, and railway transportation is clearly increasing. This puts a certain amount of pressure on the lives of the locals. We have to find a way to adjust."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the report sent today and said to Wang Juan, who had just finished studying the military map.
Wang Juan rubbed her temples. When she was looking at the map just now, she had to analyze it while looking at it. It was tiring. Not only did she have to formulate strategic goals that could change at any time according to the situation on the battlefield, she also had to summarize history and find suitable battle tactics.
As the army on the three fronts slowly advanced, the problem of adapting to the environment was placed in front of them. There was also the various terrains, where in history, who won with a small number of people, how they fought, and what were the relevant factors. She had to put them into the current Great Tang army.
Otherwise, it would be easy to be schemed against by the enemy. The death of a large number of soldiers would make their families very sad. The purpose of war was to gain benefits, not sacrifice.
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. It looked like a small scale battle tactic, but when countless tactical objectives were completed, the commander would discover that there were actually new strategic objectives that could be achieved. This was not something that could be changed by one's will. Even the most outstanding strategist would not be able to predict the final outcome from the beginning.
Thus, Wang Juan had several marching routes in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the path ahead was foggy.
Zhang Xiaobao's voice pulled her out of the fog.
Wang Juan sighed softly and asked, "Don't tell me you want to have different household registers in different places? When we arrive in other cities, we are not allowed to buy a house, and we are also deprived of benefits. At the same time, even the schools that our children attend are restricted. "
Zhang Xiaobao saw that Wang Juan was no longer worried about strategy and tactics. He smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. We can't lose the people's hearts that we worked so hard to gather so easily. What happened before was the result of internal strife between factions.
At the same time, there was also the problem of the population demand for the overall economic development plan of the country. In fact, there were many cases in history where a large number of people migrated, especially when there was a disaster. The people who fled to other places caused a lot of trouble for the local people.
I've thought about it carefully, and I don't think we can solve this problem by force. As for houses, as long as the outsiders have the money and are willing to buy them, they can buy them. There is no need to stop them, because we don't have any internal conflicts, and the imperial power is supreme. "
"So …" Wang Juan cooperated and led the way.
"So, what we need to do the most now is to increase the research and production of luxury goods sold at home, and to convert the machinery of Datang Heavy Industry to civilian use," Zhang Xiaobao said very straightforwardly.
"Ha, Datang Heavy Industry, can you stop criticizing the term 'heavy industry'? Steel production uses indigenous methods, at most with some advanced technological thinking; oil refining uses indigenous methods. Of course, for the current Datang people, it is very advanced. Look at our collection of liquefied petroleum gas. They collect thousands of tons at one time, and we can't even reach one ten-thousandth of their collection."
When Wang Juan thought of the term "heavy industry", she found it funny. After laughing, a hopeful look appeared on her face. She was arguing with Zhang Xiaobao not because she felt that the current Tang Industry should not continue to research. One day, it would achieve its goal. At least for now, it was at the forefront of the world.
After arguing, Wang Juan realized that to solve the problem of population flow and concentration, why did he mention luxury goods and the machinery of the Ministry of Works?
She then asked, "Hubby, do you think that with luxury goods and machinery, the pressure on the populated areas will be reduced?"
Zhang Xiaobao pretended to be scared and then said with certainty, "Of course, if this is done well, the problem of population flow and concentration will also be solved."
"I am willing to listen to your opinion." Wang Juan stood up from her seat and sat beside Zhang Xiaobao, gently leaning her head on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder. She had already realized that Xiao Baao suddenly mentioned this information not because there was no way to solve the problem, but because he deliberately said it to her so that she would be able to escape from the troubles of the previous strategic arrangements.
With a man like this accompanying her, she would be happy for the rest of her life.
Zhang Xiaobao adjusted his sitting position to make Wang Juan more comfortable and said, "Actually, the main reason for a large number of people to gather in places with convenient transportation is that there can be more profits from the circulation of goods and port processing. With more profits, the wages will also be higher.
So what should we do to make the wages in other places higher? The simplest way is to use policies to reduce taxes and other expenses in other places, and at the same time, to build infrastructure.
It involves the word 'money'. Right now, we have free medical care, free education, infant support benefits, employment training benefits, elderly protection benefits, and direct state compensation benefits in disaster areas. In addition to the previous large number of low-interest and interest-free loan benefits, we don't have much money to do other things. "
"You mean to rely on luxury goods to make money, and then use it to implement policies and infrastructure in other places?" Wang Juan asked cooperatively.
"Yes ~ head! There is a very important problem in the process of the floating population gathering in key cities, and that is the concentration of capital. The concentration of capital in one area is an empty statement, but the real concentration is in the hands of businessmen.
Businessmen who make a lot of money will have a high tax rate, but they still have too much money that they can't use. Money is just a number, and behind it represents the support of money. Unless I cause a large amount of inflation, they won't be able to use the corresponding resources if they don't spend money.
When they have money, I give them three choices. One is to deposit it in a bank, and they will earn interest. Then, I will use the bank to lend money, and at the same time, maintain the growth rate of inflation at the deposit interest rate, right? "
Zhang Xiaobao asked Wang Juan.
Wang Juan had a smile on her face. "Yes, the deposit in the bank is actually not the appreciation of money, but the preservation of value. Many people don't understand, and they always feel that they have too much money in their hands. In the end, when they buy things, the price of things will also increase. If the bank is really used to increase the value of depositors, then when the bank lends out, it will require more interest. In the end, the original interest of the deposit currency will actually depreciate.
Money doesn't appear out of thin air, and the amount of money that appears is related to productivity. The only advantage is that this part of the money from the bank can be used to support production technology, and it can increase the basic raw materials of goods.
The people who deposit their money in the bank get a higher level of enjoyment, and not an absolute increase in money. The higher level of enjoyment includes the lowering of the price of new products and certain low-end goods in certain aspects.
For example, there will be a radio in the future. Another example is that the yield of cabbage per mu will increase, and the price will be lower. But when the people measure the money in their hands, they don't think about it like that. They think about whether the goods that are in the middle of society are cheaper.
Is it cheaper? No. If it is really cheaper, it means that this kind of goods is no longer in the middle of society. It has been reduced to the status of cabbage. Unfortunately, there are too few people who can understand this.
What are the remaining two paths you arranged for them? "
Wang Juan temporarily stopped thinking about the war and helped Zhang Xiaobao think about the rich people.
Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his arm and hugged Wang Juan's waist. He didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he sighed about what Wang Juan said just now.
Just as Wang Juan said, the country's protection of capital is not the protection of the currency itself, but the protection of the quality of life of the people in the process of national strength.
Luxury goods are still luxury goods, and what can't be bought is still not affordable. But in the process of currency flow and depreciation, the investment in production technology is the most important part. Many people say that things are expensive. In the past, a piece of fermented bean curd was two cents, but now it was three cents. In fact, in the past, he earned 50 yuan a month, but now he earned 2,500 yuan a month.
Then the price ratio of the fermented bean curd back then to the current one was 1: 15, and the income ratio was 1: 50. Moreover, the fermented bean curd now is more delicious.
But why does it feel expensive? Because with the development of technology, people's needs are also increasing. They spend too much on other aspects, and it doesn't feel like the price has dropped. Overall, it means that things are expensive.
In the past, they don't need too many goods. Having a bungalow to live in and a radio is a good pursuit, and they can save a lot of money to buy fermented bean curd.
After that, there are cars, televisions, and phones, more gold and diamond jewelry, and there are electricity and gas in the house. Unknowingly, there are more ways to spend money in life, and it feels expensive to buy a triangle of fermented bean curd.
What is the root of this problem? It's not the depreciation of the currency, nor is it how much the price has dropped. It's because the proportion of people who own the currency is in the minority in society, which is also called polarization.
The better a country could control polarization, the more stable the political and economic system of that country would be.
Zhang Xiaobao feels that there is still a long way to go. Because of polarization, in addition to the corruption of officials and economic loopholes, there is also the existence of individuals in society.
People are smart. If they can make money, they will naturally have money. If they make more money, it is unreasonable to collect more taxes from others. Why? But there is no other way. After all, you live in a group. Your income comes from the group, and your safety comes from the group.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaobao can only control polarization through other means, and not eliminate it. If polarization is really eliminated, then the whole society will lose the motivation to move forward. Everyone will not work hard. No matter how hard they work, in the end, they will get the same result as others. Who is stupid?
Zhang Xiaobao now wants to discuss this problem with Wang Juan. "There are two other ways. One way is to enjoy. We can make more luxury goods and sell them. The profit of luxury goods has always been much higher than the proportion of goods that people enjoy. It is almost hundreds or thousands of times higher.
Among a hundred people, if you enjoy a radio and others don't, then you will definitely pay more than a hundred times the cost of the radio. You may have to pay a thousand times or ten thousand times the cost.
If they enjoy it, we will have money. We will use this money to do what we said before. The third way is to guide the rich to underdeveloped areas, which are inconvenient and have low production capacity.
We will provide them with preferential policies. They can build their own roads, or we can build the roads. It is the same. If we build the roads, they will have to pay in other aspects. If they build the roads, they will get more policies.
I hope that they will choose to build their own infrastructure. We will turn the money used to build the roads into loans to them. At the same time, we will increase their policy benefits. The gains and losses are the same. There is not much difference.
The difference is that this kind of company has a social responsibility and confidence in self-development. I will pay attention to it and look for them if there is something good in the future.
Of course, there are policy benefits and policy requirements. That is, when their investment and output ratio is the same as the ratio of the same industry and the same strength of businessmen in prosperous cities, they must pay the same wages as the prosperous cities. In this way, everyone will not have to go to the key cities to carry out a one-way labor flow. "
"I should have killed all the people in your city's civil affairs department back then. They lost a talent." Wang Juan said with a smile.
"I have never regretted the path I have taken. If I had to choose again, I would still want to do that. Because that way, I will still meet you."
"Disgusting. You have a clever mouth." Wang Juan lightly punched Zhang Xiaobao. "What if they don't follow your train of thought and deliberately oppose you? I am saying what if. The truth is that they will listen to you. Especially after the news of you traveling thousands of miles to rescue them is exposed in the newspapers. Everyone will be more patriotic. "
"If I have to say what if, it is that if they don't agree, I will use my own money to build non-key cities. In the end, I will use cheap products to attack their profits. Our business is expanding very slowly now because we want to give them more space to develop. It is not because I don't have the ability to expand.
I have not made any plans to attack the domestic economy because I promised you. At the same time, it is because I love this nation. It does not mean that I am afraid of them. If they force me into a corner, I will teach them a lesson. You must know that the technology and the banking system are in my hands.
Why did we withdraw from the shares of Great Tang Bank? We held the shares, and Li Longji did not dare to trust us. There would be other shareholders who would come in and criticize us. I withdrew, but I am in control. Whoever controls the banking system controls the entire society. "
Zhang Xiaobao's tone was very calm when he said this, but Wang Juan could hear a sense of absolute arrogance. She admitted that Zhang Xiaobao had this ability. Otherwise, the order back then would not have been just to capture and not kill.
Wang Juan was very happy when she thought about how she had captured such a person. She said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Don't be anxious. When you invade, let them take over the domestic economy. They are very obedient. If someone really dares to disobey, I will directly publish an article in the newspaper, saying that a certain corporation has hurt me and Xiaobao too much. In the future, when they are in danger outside, I will no longer help them and let the imperial court send troops.
That way, their corporation will not need to face any danger outside. The other businessmen in the country will kill them. When the Meteor Battle Squad returns successfully, our prestige will be even higher. Rescue, revenge, regardless of the distance, regardless of the cost. I believe that this is what every citizen in every country wants to see the most. "
"That's right. If the country could treat me like this back then, I … Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go meet Huang Yao Ben. Previously, I gave him some ideas as a deity. Why did he not look for a deity and insist on looking for us? Would a deity lie to him?"
Seeing that Wang Juan was happy, Zhang Xiaobao remembered that Huang Yao Ben had come to meet him and Wang Juan today.
Previously, when they were eating the barbecue, he gave Huang Yao Ben an idea at the last moment. He told them how to earn money and also help the country develop.
However, after Huang Yao Ben returned, he first looked for someone to discuss and formulate a plan. When the preliminary plan was out, he came to the Blue Sea Silver Sands to look for him and Wang Juan.
"Seriously, why did he have to come looking for us? I still wanted to have some tenderness with my husband." Wang Juan retracted her head and stood up.
"Then … Why don't we ignore him first and have some tenderness in bed?" Zhang Xiaobao stood up as well.
"Hooligan." Wang Juan led the way and walked out.
Zhang Xiaobao scratched his head and walked behind Wang Juan. He muttered to himself, "The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is the woman you love deeply. If you don't think of a way to coax her, you won't be able to live with your conscience. Why don't you coax such a good woman? If you use a strategy to coax her, you won't be able to live with your conscience. Why do you want to scheme against such a good woman? If you don't use any tricks and just coax her from the bottom of your heart, you won't be able to live with your conscience. Why do you have to be so straightforward with such a good woman? Can't you know how to be romantic? "
"You are using schemes to coax me now. If you want to mutter, stay away from me. Don't let me hear you." Wang Juan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobao and pursed her lips into a smile.
When the two arrived at the meeting place, Huang Yao Ben had already drunk two cups of tea and eaten half a kilogram of snacks. He was holding a ripe watermelon and gnawing on it.
When he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, Huang Yao Ben hurriedly stood up and took out a stack of papers. He said to the two of them, "You are finally here. I'm mainly looking for Xiao Bao. A deity gave me an idea. I think it's pretty good, but I'm worried about him. Xiao Bao, help me take a look and see if he's lying to me. I nearly got someone to follow the plan, but I thought it wasn't right. I need to discuss it with you. Who said that deities can't lie? I'll only be at ease if you take a look. "
