Wu Liaowei and a group of high-ranking officers were sent to the military academy, and the army found a standard for reorganization. More than four months had passed, and in November 1883, a considerable number of officers were investigated. In addition, the transfer of personnel in the military farms was frozen, and the disarmament officially began.
The army was a combat organization, not a capital group. Therefore, the problems in the military farms were basically the same. The best technology, good organization, these advantages made the military farms very profitable. Similarly, a large amount of output, the model of supplying supplies to the army for free, and the relatively low wages, exposed the characteristics of the farms with unclear property rights and unclear responsibilities. It was inevitable that everyone wanted to get something out of the middle.
The border could also use the model of the construction corps to solve the problem. The construction corps belonged to an operating organization, and everyone worked for wages, and finally had the concept of capital. It would not be like before, where a sentence from the top could determine the distribution of the products produced after the capital operation.
Vézé completely publicly described these contents, so most of the people in the center were not too afraid of being overly implicated. When the three meetings were held, the leaders of the administrative department only said that they "supported the commander-in-chief's opinion", but in fact, they were very happy in their hearts. The local administration did not like other people to forcefully interfere, especially when the army directly extended its hands into the local areas.
The army was not to be trifled with, and everyone was very clear. Not only were most of the founding generals still alive, but the army's backing was strong enough. More importantly, the army had the concept of a military restricted area. They surrounded a piece of land, and really no one could break in. The local party and government leaders had more than once received complaints from the public security department, saying that some soldiers had conflicts with people in the city, and after beating people up, they ran to the military camp. This made it very difficult for the local comrades.
If it was the field army, it was fine. After all, the field army had strict military discipline. If there were crimes, the field army would resolutely deal with them. Maybe there was some field army in the city? These were all people from those military regions and military sub-regions. The main leaders of the government had also been soldiers. Even if they could not really suppress the army, they were very clear that those troublemakers did not have any serious business, and were just messing around in the army. Now that the Military Governor Of Vaize wanted to start to reorganize the army, the comrades in the government naturally raised both hands in support.
The reorganization of the army could not be completed in a few months, it was a relatively long-term work. As for the administrative work, it was a long-term, tireless job. The results of the Three-No Plan's universal education were quite good. In addition to strengthening education, the Four-Five Plan also increased public health. Of course, Vézé finally brought up the issue of nationwide industrial construction.
During the government meeting, Vézé put forward his proposal. "If the provinces want to establish their own enterprises, they can set up a joint-stock limited company."
With the development of China's industrialization, there were more and more training. The government was no stranger to a shareholding company. Naturally, there were many sources of investors in a shareholding system. "Limited" meant that he had limited responsibilities. When the company lost money and went bankrupt, this responsibility would come to an end. In an agricultural society, the children had to pay their father's debts. China's culture exhibition was more advanced. Although it could not be achieved, at least there was a saying that the debt would be settled after the death of the person. As for a shareholding company, it was even more different. The people did not have to die, and the debt could be written off.
The government was no stranger to joint-stock companies, and it was even more common among the people. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a very similar production model in Jiangnan. Jiangnan had a high demand for cows, and often adopted a method of "mutual willingness, mutual benefit, and shared risk". That was, the investor would buy the cow and "contract" it to be raised by others. The farmer would get the cow's strength and dung, and the owner would get the calf, and then sell it when it grew up. If there was an accident, and the cow died, then the two families would share the loss equally.
Some provincial governors and party secretaries were ecstatic about this, but some provincial leaders were not so unconditionally optimistic. They hoped that the state would invest in the establishment of state-owned enterprises, and the provinces would be responsible for the management of these enterprises. If anything happened, the state would bear the responsibility, and they could only rely on the state-owned enterprises to gain political achievements.
Vézé made it clear. "Whoever sets up the project will be responsible. Even if they leave the area, the responsibility will not be written off. The industries that are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood will still be monopolized by the state. Water, electricity, gas, transportation, education, medical, tobacco, salt, and other industries will not be subject to joint-stock management. "
Water, electricity, gas, transportation, education, medical, tobacco, salt, and other industries were closely related to the basic necessities of life, and were also industries that were guaranteed to make money. If the state did not let go of these industries, it would be very risky to operate other industries.
In addition to this explosive new policy, the more sensational personnel change in the five-year plan was that Shen Xin was no longer the director of the political department of the military commission, but the deputy premier. After Li Yuchang stepped down as premier, he officially retired, and the former minister of finance, former secretary of the Hunan provincial party committee, and current deputy premier, Levis Levis took over as premier.
In the warm applause, Li Yuchang formally bowed and stepped down. Some of the older members of the government and the army also retired. The retirement system that Vézé had prepared for a long time was finally officially put into operation. The impact of this matter on the central government was no less than allowing the provinces to set up joint-stock enterprises.
The secretary of the central bank, Wang Mingshan, and the secretary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Pang Congcong, discussed the establishment of joint-stock enterprises with Vézé. Seeing that the matter was approved by the central government, the two were not particularly optimistic.
During the break of the meeting, Wang Mingshan, Shen Xin, and Pang Congcong discussed the matter together. From the looks of it, the qualifications for promotion in the government were gradually becoming clear. They had experience working at all levels of local government, experience in leading ministerial work, and experience working in large national enterprises. These three people basically met the hard requirements, and they were also considered comrades that Vézé recognized very much. The possibility of them becoming premier one after another was not small. At this time, instead of having a big internal strife, it was better to cooperate. Not to mention that they were comrades, and their personal relationship was also incomparable to others.
"Commander-in-chief Shen Xin, the commander-in-chief is determined to implement a competitive mechanism." Wang Mingshan sighed.
"Competition …" In fact, Shen Xin was not opposed to competition. In the army this time, the old, middle-aged, and young comrades who did not have the ability to carry out the construction of the army did not feel the same way. On the contrary, everyone felt that their opportunity had finally come. Competition between each other could be very effective in improving internal vitality. Moreover, there was no reason to let those comrades who were discouraged or even gave up after one or two competition failures to get a higher position and have more opportunities.
Shen Xin did not say much. He had been in charge of four provinces in the north and knew very well the hardships of local work. However, now it seemed that Vézé had arranged for Shen Xin to be in that position at that time to be premeditated.
Wang Mingshan somewhat misunderstood Shen Xin's attitude. He explained, "Now it is not possible to not introduce competition. Just like the military farms, some of the models that were good in the past are no longer suitable in the new situation. Let me give you an example. In the past, our needle manufacturing enterprise had contributed a lot to the country. Now, many enterprises are not completely rotten, but they are still lifeless. A product does not change for many years. Not to mention improving efficiency, those who have connections still desperately want to squeeze people into the factory. What technical content can a needle manufacturing factory have? What future can it have? What kind of people can squeeze their heads to get in? Factories with high technical content are better. After all, the state has invested, and they have undertaken the corresponding scientific research projects. Those factories whose technical development has temporarily stopped can only rely on changing the management system to solve the problem. If there is no competition, it would be harder than the sun rising from the west to get them to move on their own. "
"Is it that exaggerated?" Shen Xin did not quite agree with what Wang Mingshan said.
Wang Mingshan sighed and said, "It is more exaggerated than you think. I used to think that everyone should always pursue progress. Even if they do not pursue progress, they should at least pursue some money. But now I think that this is not necessarily the case. If you go to the northeast to farm, you can earn a lot in a few years if you work hard. But even if many people know this, they would rather work in the city for a dead salary. I think the commander-in-chief is right. Now we have to make the whole society active in the current situation of industrialization! "
Shen Xin did not intend to argue with Wang Mingshan. It was Pang Congcong who said, "When the society is active, there will be accidents. On the whole, we can learn from those tragedies. But the protagonists of those tragedies will not think so. This time, with the implementation of the shareholding enterprise, there will definitely be people who will be very unlucky. "
"Oh? How unlucky can they be? "Shen Xin was a little interested in this.
Pang Congcong said in a mocking tone, "There will definitely be no more official positions. Of course, if they were really just doing things, they probably would not be so miserable. But I think that many people are going for political achievements. If that's the case, they will be doomed. What's worse is that some people not only want political achievements, but they also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune … Hehe, it is not that the commander-in-chief is not prepared for this. "
This was a very understandable thing. Shen Xin had just participated in the handling of the military farm matter. Many people wanted to make themselves look good and let everyone admit that they were good. If it was to desperately pay everyone's salary, it would be fine. But everyone who did this, without exception, was stuffing money into their own pockets. The military commission was very strict with such people.
Wang Mingshan felt that Pang Congcong's words were a little emotional. He quickly explained to Shen Xin, "It is written in the book that capital operations rely on funds and credit. Now, there is not enough local funds. We have the credit accumulated by the country. No matter what the commander-in-chief says, there will definitely be people who will abuse the country's credit. I was against it at first. But the commander-in-chief is also right. There is always a limit to the protection period. If we protect everything, we will only protect a group of useless people. If we want to grow, we will have to encounter setbacks. "
Seeing that Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong had spoken to this point, Shen Xin could only express his opinion. "Yes, I can only wait and see what will happen in the future. But since the commander-in-chief has made such a decision, I will definitely follow him. "
