Chapter 401 Continuing to reform the old and the new
Time has entered AD 215 in a blink of an eye.
Both countries have developed in competition with each other, and the people's lives are naturally getting better and better. The deadline for the first bond sales of the two countries is approaching, so residents of the two countries naturally return to the trading center with their respective debt certificates.
trade.
But at this time, what they received was not real money, but banknotes. This was a new currency released in 210. Five months after it was released in the north, the south also released it at the same time.
At this stage, this thing has basically been popularized, and even companions such as check books have appeared. Because the exchange capabilities and credibility of both parties are pretty good, it has basically been recognized by the people.
The only trouble is probably that the exchange rates of banknotes between the north and the south are different. Ten yuan in the south is equal to one yuan in the north, and this ratio is constantly increasing.
At that time, people who held banknotes naturally complained about this incident, and as a result, there almost started another uprising or demonstration in the south. As a result, Sima Yi decided that something was wrong and immediately stopped selling more banknotes and introduced some scapegoats.
, and even used part of the money to subsidize some people who suffered losses, and the situation calmed down.
As for the north, the Huaxia Academy of Science and Technology has begun to add a currency research institute, specializing in the study of currency and market, as well as the relationship between currency and the country and the people. Then based on the experimental results, they will issue more banknotes very carefully instead of blindly printing this stuff.
The monetary policies of the two sides are different, but the People's Bank of China, which was the first to issue banknotes and whose credit rating has always been strong, has gained the trust of the entire China. Branches have been opened all over the country, and depositors account for about 65% of the total depositors in China.
Ironically, after the people of the North and the South exchanged their respective bonds, most residents chose to deposit their cash in the Han People's Bank in the form of demand or fixed term; however, Hua Xia Bank did not
It’s not as if there are not many people there, there are still many people who deposit money there, after all, the interest there is higher.
These savings will be used as investment funds by both banks and invested in the two countries to seek benefits. The difference is that banks in the south invest in whatever factories in the north make money; while banks in the north invest the most polluting factories.
All the products are invested in the South. Top-grade and high-grade products are sold back to the North, while inferior products are sold to the South as qualified products.
Quality audit issue? Doesn't anyone know that almost all officials of the Chinese Republic have been infiltrated? Even people from the Security Bureau can't even think of finding out the bugs that have been infiltrated for several years.
And this batch of moths, on the basis of a win-win situation, which of course refers to the win-win situation between the factory and itself, casually declares these products as qualified products, even if the standards are still far from qualified products during internal testing.
It is possible to get passed and certified even with a little distance.
No matter what the product is, the People's Bank of China adheres to one principle: keep the good ones for itself, sell inferior products overseas, and sell defective and substandard products to the Republic. And because most of the polluting factories were directly transferred to the south
, so the natural environment in the north is still pretty good for now.
The Environmental Research Department is also a research department established in recent years. It specializes in studying the harmonious development of man and nature. It also studies the harm caused by various pollution to people and how to prevent and rectify these harms.
As the redemption of the bonds is completed, the sale of the second tranche of bonds also begins.
The Northern Han Empire has opened roads from Liangzhou to other countries in the Western Regions and even India. Although large-scale highways are still under construction and various greening efforts are still being made, this cannot stop the Han Army from expanding outwards.
The desire to plunder financial resources.
To put it simply, after the Han Empire completes the upcoming election, it will begin to sharpen its sword, and the sword will be pointed directly at the Western Regions.
As for the transformation to expand to the northeast, southwest, west, and east, it is also gradually carried out. No matter which one it is, it requires a lot of infrastructure construction, road construction, health and epidemic prevention institution construction and other projects, and the funds required are not
One point two points.
And in the south, they also need to advance vigorously. In recent years, local resources have been almost fully developed. Everyone knows that these things must be left to future generations and cannot be harvested in one go. Therefore, they develop outward and plunder from other countries.
Resources are an inevitable trend.
Therefore, the invasion and development of Indochina is naturally imperative.
The south was later humid, miasmatic, and full of poisons, so Sima Yike worked very hard to develop this area. From labor recruitment to infrastructure construction, he managed to develop the entire area from Jiaozhi to Hanoi in later generations, and began to carry out simple foundation work.
construction.
The prospecting team began to prospect here, and the captured savages were killed if they could be killed, and the ones they thought were valuable were kept as slaves. This thing about people being superior to people can actually be addictive. The previous Four People's System
, in fact, it is to let aristocratic families experience the feeling of being a master.
Since the abolition of the Four People's System, many aristocratic families who had enjoyed the treatment of superiors naturally stopped working, so Sima Yi simply restored slavery. Of course, the so-called slaves here can only be targeted at those foreign savages. This policy is actually
As early as more than ten years ago, the Political Department of the Huaxia Academy of Science and Technology proposed it, but it was naturally stolen by spies sent by Sima Yi.
It has to be said that these slaves were a little difficult to train in the early stages, but once they got used to it, they were still good at work. They were good choices for infrastructure construction and mining. This report also directly led Sima Yi to pay more attention to the slavery system.
deepen.
Both sides are building and both sides are competing, but there is one thing that they have to pay attention to.
That’s the change of leadership every five years!
During this period, whether in the south or the north, the focus of society will be concentrated in the Great Hall of the People, waiting for the new round of election to unfold.
Of course, the changes of leadership in the South and the North are completely different.
The South adopts a democratic system, so all members of the parliament are promoted internally. The so-called voting and the so-called speech can be done casually. Anyway, the list has been decided internally.
The north officially entered a constitutional monarchy. However, after an independent investigation by the citizens and unanimous approval by all parties, the Han Empire officially declared that only the three existing parties were legal parties, and the rest were illegal organizations.
In the early days, Xie Xin formulated a pseudo-constitutional monarchy in order to make a transition during a special period, which turned out to be the political system of the Han Empire in the true sense.
But it cannot be denied that because of the mutual constraints of the three parties, although it may be difficult to truly agree on opinions. However, the illegal crimes and corruption and bribery of each party are slightly lower than the crime rates in the Jianyuan and Jianwu years of the Han Dynasty.
It can almost be regarded as reaching the standard of absolute incorruptibility.
As for the gray income, the people all know about it, but it is the state that suffers this part, so the people do not go back to complain. The state adheres to the principle of not obliterating the personal thoughts of individual officials, so it can be regarded as turning a blind eye.
As long as he does not cross the line of corruption and bribery.
The children of officials can do business, but social supervision is very strong, and coupled with the principle of multi-party restraint, other parties are eager for the children of members of the opposing party to make mistakes in order to point the finger at the members of the opposing party.
Therefore, those children who are doing business can only operate within the allowed amount of aid. Abusing power for personal gain is really not something that can be done in the Han Empire. And the so-called 'allowed amount of aid' is mainly due to the Han Empire's favor.
This thing is a kind of tacit approval, just like gray income.
Because the efficiency of the Han Empire's cabinet was quite good, and the integrity of the officials made the people feel more at ease, everyone recognized this system in terms of government investigations. If it were based on the constitutional monarchy originally formulated by Xie Xin, everyone would not be too reassured
.
Generally speaking, the Chinese people have become accustomed to this model, and they recognized this model before a better model appeared that was worthy of their recognition.
No matter what, this mutation model has completely established itself in the Han Empire.
But this time around, the situation has changed.
The biggest change is that of Cao Cao and Gongsun Sheng. They are not too young to continue to serve as party leaders. They have been re-elected for several terms. According to the content of the newly revised election law, they have exceeded the last
There are many, many criteria for long-term tenure.
As for the apology, he stated that he would strictly follow the content of the election law, continue to serve as the party leader for one term, and then retire, giving up the position of party leader to give other party members a chance.
Therefore, at this cabinet campaign meeting, among the three parties, Cao Cao and Gongsun Sheng were directly dismissed from their positions as party leaders, leaving this position to other party members to run for election. And they retired and went home as members of the party.
.
Of course, because of their status, their pensions will naturally be large. And receiving their pensions on time every month has become one of their hobbies. Because for them, this is a symbol that the country has not forgotten them. And in person
After receiving it, I also feel that I am not marginalized yet.
Soon, the new leaders of the People's Livelihood Party and the Socialist Party were established.
The new leader of the People's Livelihood Party is appointed by Xun Yu. According to his intention, he will serve as the party leader for one term, and he casually gives this opportunity to the younger generations. After all, he is not young anymore.
The leader of the Socialist Party was eventually succeeded by Gongsun Lei. Although there was a feeling of family inheritance, it must be said that Gongsun Lei was indeed very strong. For a young man, he was not only flexible in mind, but also a stable person, so he was elected through voting.
After that, he still became the leader of the party without hesitation.
In this cabinet, many old faces have also retired, while some young and strong party members elected by local governments have become new cabinet members.
Wei Yan entered the cabinet and became Minister of Defense this term;
Jiang Wan entered the cabinet and became Minister of Government Affairs this term;
Xie Hua entered the cabinet and became the Minister of Finance this term;
Xie Xia entered the cabinet and became the Minister of Justice this time;
Zao Zhi entered the cabinet and became the Minister of Agriculture this term;
Chen Lin entered the cabinet and became the Minister of Foreign Affairs this term;
The above six people are the new cabinet members who entered the cabinet this time, coming directly from the three political parties. As for the original members, due to various reasons, they were either transferred to other places or retired.
However, this is also a good phenomenon. At least it can be seen from this that the political system of the Han Empire will always be controlled by the young and strong faction. An old minister will not retire before a new minister takes office; or the old minister will not take office.
After retirement, the situation arises where the deputy chief takes over directly.
It is a good phenomenon for both the country and the people.
