At the end of February in 1895, Vézé received a letter from Wang Shizhen. Thanks to the air express, and because Beijing was closer to the Western Province than Nanjing, the letter arrived in Beijing only three days later than the telegram.
Wang Shizhen had already told Vézé in a short telegram that the revolutionary situation in Hungary was not good. As an agricultural area, the people of Hungary did have a lot of dissatisfaction with the current regime, but Hungary was in the stage of industrialization at this time. The development of social productivity was still good, and the people's emotions only existed in the stage of dissatisfaction.
The introduction in the letter was more detailed. Wang Shizhen described his experience in the Hungarian capital in a thick stack of records. The industrial bourgeoisie of this country began to try to seize the dominant position in the government, but it was intertwined with the traditional aristocratic class, so it was inclined to improve the model. As for the guys who believed in Marxism, they all thought that they should belong to the aristocratic and upper class, but in fact, they could not mix into the ranks of the ruling class at all.
As for those 'progressive students', Wang Shizhen's evaluation was that they were 'cannon fodder sent to the battlefield. I really don't have the courage to entrust them with important tasks'. After reading it, Vézé wanted to laugh. This situation was a new experience for Wang Shizhen, but for Vézé, it was' yesterday again '. Europe covered an area of 10 million square kilometers, was rich in products, and had a population of only 300 million at its peak. Compared to Asia, it was definitely 'vast and sparsely populated'. Of course, there was social pressure, and it was even intense. But it was far from the level of China. After the Min dynasty swallowed up the North American grain export area, the international grain price was very stable. Hungary was a country like the granary of Europe, and it was normal for people to get by.
What Vézé cared about was the level of revolution in Europe. Although Marxism was born in Europe, the level of understanding of revolution in Europe was quite limited. Or it could be said that because of the relatively high level of Europe's economy, if you wanted Europe to have a revolution, you really had to have a kind of 'no profit, no change' meaning.
Could it be that Uncle En was feeling despair? Vézé couldn't help but speculate about Uncle En's intention in pointing out Hungary. But he didn't want to think too much about it. Vézé sent a telegram to Wang Shizhen, asking him to continue gathering intelligence and see if there were any revolutionary forces worth contacting. After dealing with this matter, Vézé asked the intelligence agencies, including the financial department, whether they had established a more systematic intelligence work.
"Commander-in-chief. Have you solved the problem of the storage device you mentioned last time? There's too much data right now, and the amount of data that needs to be updated is huge. Unless there's a greater investment in intelligence gathering, the current work efficiency has reached a level where it's difficult to improve, "Premier Wang Haiyang expressed his opinion.
Vézé could not help but sigh. He found that after returning to this era, all the things that he could not understand before were all explained. The popularity of computers and the internet was believed by many parents to have allowed the gaming industry to flourish and earn unscrupulous money. However, Vézé finally understood that this industry provided a huge help to the development of society. Although the explosion of the information industry could not be considered the third industrial revolution, it was worthy of the title of the information industry revolution. Just a database alone made the efficiency of information transmission countless times higher than before. This was because many of the functions that computers and the internet could achieve could not be achieved in 1895, no matter how much money was spent.
"Write a report, and we can discuss it," Vézé replied.
Seeing that Vézé agreed to this matter so easily, the other comrades also made similar requests. After listening to everyone's sincere questions, Vézé smiled and said, "The budget is only this much, and I can't make money out of thin air. These things need to be discussed. "
"Then can we get the people's congress to review the budget?" Wang Haiyang immediately suggested, "Every time the people's congress reviews the budget, it requires a lot of things. If we rely on administrative orders to carry it out, the efficiency will definitely increase a lot. "
"No." Vézé immediately shook his head. This wasn't a new idea. Ever since the establishment of the people's congress, this idea had become an inevitable one every year. And Vézé had always been firmly against it. "The people's congress doesn't even have the original decision-making power, they only have the power of supervision. If the supervision power is stripped away, then we might as well abolish the people's congress! "
After hearing this, no one dared to take advantage of the situation. Everyone knew that the Military Governor Vaize had no intention of abolishing the people's congress. In the past, there were people who made such a suggestion, but they were reprimanded by the military governor several times in meetings for 'making a fool of themselves'. As a result, they were not even elected to the central committee. After knowing the military governor's thoughts, no one dared to make such a suggestion again. The people didn't like the people's congress, but after losing their official positions, they didn't even have the right to dislike the people's congress.
"Without the propaganda and explanation of the people's congress, the people won't have the chance to come into contact with the central committee's policies. Abolish the people's congress, and we will advance by leaps and bounds along the path of destruction of the past dynasties! "Vézé's voice wasn't very strict, but the content of what he said was very serious. After hearing this, Wang Haiyang immediately shut his mouth and didn't say a word.
While everyone else was silent, the country's president, Shen Xin, opened his mouth and said, "Military governor, many provinces have raised the issue of population. There are no people in the countryside. Many provinces are very worried that if this is carried out, the food production of the provinces will become terrible. What do you think? "
Vézé didn't speak for a moment. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would reveal the joy that came from the bottom of his heart. Vézé had already seen the report on the substantial decrease in the rural population. Vézé had been secretly delighted at such a change at home several times. After confirming that the problem of land ownership had been solved at its root, Vézé was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
The people of China were hardworking and brave, and their productivity was the highest in the world. Therefore, China's population had always been the largest in the world. The contradiction between people and land had been a big problem for China for generations. State ownership of land could solve the huge contradiction brought about by private ownership, but it couldn't solve the big problem of population and land ratio. With a spirit of iron and blood, Vézé led the people of China in conquering the East and conquering the West. Eight hundred million people owned four million square kilometers of arable land. Urbanization had also greatly reduced the absolute proportion of the rural population in China. After seizing the rubber plantation in the south, contraceptives were popularized. Women also held up half of the sky and generally entered a state of employment. New Age families in their twenties rarely had more than four children. Vézé was so happy that he giggled foolishly after reading these statistics, but it didn't make him feel ashamed.
After the impulse to giggle foolishly passed, Vézé replied, "I think this kind of thing can be looked at from two perspectives. First, we can wait for the follow-up results. This world isn't imaginary. Second, we can make use of the comparative advantages of the local industries. This will take us more time to complete. "
"Governor, the oranges in Jiangxi are the result of our promotion over the years. Guangdong's lychees, Jiangxi's venison, and Lipu's taro. Most of us are still making use of the advantages we had in the past. " Shen Xin didn't quite agree with Vézé's view. "But after the people enter the city, I don't see many people return."
"This matter can wait and see. Moreover, those places that aren't suitable for human survival can be used for farming. Or we can simply move the people away and restore the forest with soil and water conservation. "Vézé had his own stubbornness in this regard.
Wang Haiyang couldn't help but say, "Governor … if we continue to move like this, the entire southwestern provinces will become forestry areas." In the early years, the government was very supportive of population migration. The people in the mountains and forests were also moved to live outside the mountains. Everything was wonderful. But in the past two decades, the population in the remote areas had declined like an avalanche. It had been reduced to the point that in some 'administrative areas,' except for a few officials, only the comrades of the Forestry Bureau were left. After the conquest of North America, a large number of people migrated to North America, causing these sparsely populated areas to suffer an even stronger impact.
"This kind of thing is good to get used to. Is it still a mistake to let people live a better life? "Vézé asked rhetorically. The urban population of the United States accounted for 8090% of the country's population, and the Min dynasty had at least achieved 70%. This was a long-term task.
In the end, everyone decided to first look at the trend of population flow. The next topic was the North American comprehensive agricultural pest control plan, as well as the plan to transport North American food and meat products to Asia.
The response of provincial officials to the population problem was not so intense. The people who migrated out could have a better life because there was more land. With a large urban population, everyone could live a far better life than in the mountains by working or farming. But North America imported a large number of cheap agricultural products to Asia, which directly made many provinces angry.
East Africa imported a large number of alfalfa to the Min dynasty, which had the effect of making up for the gap in the Min dynasty's alfalfa demand. The cattle bones originally imported from East Africa to Asia were replaced by cattle bone particles, which even made the bone porcelain production enterprises of the Min dynasty more satisfied. Because of the increase in space utilization, the shipping department was also very satisfied. Although cattle bone particles also caused some competition with domestic production units, this kind of competition was a small benefit of making full use of cattle, so the bone porcelain production enterprises quickly gained the upper hand.
But food was completely different. Originally, the food supply of the Min dynasty people encountered the problem of "cheap grain hurts farmers" because of the supply of oil, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, fruits, and so on. But that was still a problem of eating better. Now that the real cheap food had entered the already depressed food market, the agricultural provinces of the People's Republic of China were feeling extremely heavy pressure. This pressure was not only concentrated on Prime Minister Wang Haiyang, but also on the other members of the Standing Committee except Vézé. They passed the pressure on to Vézé.
After listening to everyone's complaints, Vézé wanted to treat it with a serious expression. But he couldn't help but chuckle. For Vézé, it was not particularly outrageous that cheap North American food flooded the Asian market. This change made Vézé feel very happy.
Vézé resisted the urge to let his comrades accept this reality and said in a voice as calm as possible, "For this kind of thing, we should try to let the people make use of the local advantages of the industry. If there are really no local advantages, working in the towns is also good. "
