Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

The next day, according to Yin Xinjun's suggestion,

The heads of the headquarters inspected the civilian economic situation in Mulan City.

According to the convenience of distance,

They first came to the Food Industrial Park in Tonghe County.

There are eight factories in the entire park, but currently only one state-owned biscuit factory and one state-owned canning factory are in production!

Yin Xinjun first led everyone to the cannery.

In the workshop, machines roared and workers were busy shuttling between production lines. Raw materials were continuously sent in, and after a series of processes such as processing, cooking, canning and sealing, they were finally turned into boxes of military canned food.

On the production line, every worker is focused on his or her job, and their movements are skillful and quick. Some are responsible for cutting ingredients, some are responsible for mixing seasonings, some are responsible for canning, and some are responsible for sealing. Everyone knows the importance of their work to the entire production line, so they all work with full concentration and dare not slack off.

Yin Xinjun introduced,

"After our steel mill was put into operation, we were able to produce tin-plated steel sheets, which ensured the raw materials for canned food. This cannery has just opened!

Our current daily output can reach 2000 cans. Of course, our equipment is limited and our staff has just been trained, so the output is still growing.

Therefore, you can see that of the eight factories in this food industrial park, we only use two ourselves, and the other six are given to private enterprises. These six factories are currently all rented out, and it is estimated that production will be able to resume soon after the new year! "

“Oh, why should we let private enterprises do it?”

The speaker was a man with a dignified appearance, a gentle face, and bright and spirited eyes.

He is Director Chen, one of the leaders of the headquarters and in charge of financial affairs!

"Director Chen, according to my understanding, the United States relied on private enterprises to unleash powerful productivity during World War II. For example, the Spam Canning Factory produced two million boxes of luncheon meat every day! Our daily output is only two thousand boxes. I built this canning factory so that the soldiers can eat canned food when they are fighting. However, it is unrealistic to let every soldier eat canned food by relying on our own strength!

Because we need to invest limited resources in major projects, such as steelmaking, military industry, power generation, mining, etc., and other projects should mobilize the participation of private enterprises. We only need to provide relevant services. Only in this way can we ensure the comprehensive, healthy and orderly development of our economy! "

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Comrade Yin Xinjun, it seems that the main starting point of your report on the special economic zone is to vigorously develop the private economy in Mulan!" Director Chen continued with interest!

"To be precise, the state-owned and private sectors are developing together, complementing each other, and developing in an all-round way, including land reform. Some big landlords support us and have always performed well. We will guide them to collective farms, mechanized and scientific farming, or let them withdraw from agriculture and invest in industry!"

Director Chen praised and said,

"That's right, the private economy is also an important part of the national economy! We often can't make a one-size-fits-all approach, we must look at this issue from the perspective of a united front!"

Yin Xinjun said with emotion,

"Leaders, you may not know this. I learned from chatting with many business owners that in 1909, we in China were able to make airplanes, in 1915 we were able to make diesel engines, in 1923 we were able to make light bulbs, and in 1931 we were able to make cars. The IQ of the Chinese is very high, and the people are still very smart! Under the corrupt Qing Dynasty, the rule of the Republic of China, and the invasion of Japanese imperialism, our technology became increasingly backward. While others were making progress, we were regressing!

Therefore, in terms of technological innovation, mechanical design and manufacturing, we must attract a large number of private talents and capital participation. Everyone has different talents and interests. The government does not need to take on too much. We should let everyone play freely! Only with full competition can the economy and technology be more dynamic!"

Yin Xinjun himself felt that he had no talent for innovation and was only able to plagiarize and copy. That was why he came up with the idea of ​​supporting the private economy and allowing talented people to engage in careers they liked. This was one of his most important ideas for governing!

Everyone seemed to understand what he said, but Director Chen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and smiled,

"Interesting! Your point of view is very novel. The government really shouldn't take on too much responsibility and think it can do everything!"

"That's right. We Chinese used to be the world leaders, but why did we fall behind during the Qing Dynasty? It's because our talents and innovations were stifled by the government!"

Director Chen nodded and said,

"Well said. The wisdom of us Chinese is second to none. I understand your idea. The special economic zones are not only for serving the military industry, but also for the construction of a new China in the future!"

"Well, I personally think that it won't take long to defeat the corrupt Kuomintang. Now it's time for us to work hard to build a new China!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

You know, the Kuomintang now has a total of five million troops, occupying major cities and economically developed areas across the country, and with some assistance from the Americans, it seems to be still very powerful!

"If your arsenal cannons can be put into production this year, I estimate that at least in the Northeast, the Kuomintang army wants to eat us up, but it won't be so easy!"

This year is 1947, a year of great turning point!

Throughout the day, the heads of the headquarters visited Tonghe County Food Industrial Park, Fangzheng County Textile Industrial Park, Bin County Steel Plant, Mulan County Building Materials Factory and other enterprises!

At dinner time,

Director Chen took Yin Xinjun to his side again.

"I didn't expect that you have quietly established a kingdom in Mulan City! The headquarters has preliminarily agreed to the Special Economic Zone. Once we report it to Yan'an and get the approval, we can officially implement it!"

Director Chen is in charge of financial affairs, and the approval of the special economic zone is mainly based on his opinion!

Yin Xinjun was overjoyed and said hurriedly,

"Director Chen, please tell me what you want. I will do my best!" He is also a person who knows how to repay a favor!

Director Chen smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"We do have a few difficulties now. The liberated areas have a bumper soybean harvest this year, but we have nowhere to sell them. In the past, the Japanese used to export soybeans, but now we have no channels to export them. I'm afraid the people will suffer a lot of losses! This is the first one!"

"No problem, Director Chen. We plan to vigorously develop animal husbandry after the new year. Soybeans can be used as feed. I'll take as many as you can get. I can exchange them for other things!"

Director Chen said happily,

"There is another problem. Although the people in our liberated areas support the Northeast currency, the things that can be bought with the Northeast currency are too few. It is mainly food!"

This Northeast currency was issued by the Northeast Bank of the Eighth Route Army after the Eighth Route Army entered the Northeast, two months later than the Mulan shopping vouchers!

Yin Xinjun patted his chest and said,

"Director Chen, our Mulan shopping vouchers and Northeastern currency are both issued by the same government, so they should be abolished. I will notify them right now and ask them to use Northeastern currency to redeem Mulan shopping vouchers starting tomorrow! This way, Northeastern currency can be used to buy everything in the factory at Mulan!"

Director Chen said excitedly,

"Thank you for your support of our work. This will greatly enhance the purchasing power of Northeastern currency!"

"I would also like to make a suggestion. We should not only strengthen domestic trade, but also foreign trade. For example, the Soviet Union has oil and advanced equipment. We can also sell them some of the things they need in exchange!"

"Yes, that's what I meant. I used to think it was a bit difficult, but now seeing the good momentum of Mulan City, I am full of confidence in developing foreign trade!"
