I want to ruin the country

Some people say that people had no motivation during the planned economy era, but you are totally wrong.

You can find out by watching old movies from that time.

Look at this family played by Liu Xiaoqing and Chen Peisi, are they carrying out reform and innovation?

Xiao Ge in "The Little Generation" bakes sesame cakes in a food store. Are they thinking about inventions and innovations every day?

Isn’t Zhong Xinghuo’s “I’m Resting Today” full of positive energy? Look at the mental outlook of people at that time. Which country can compare with it?

Now that there are more institutions, who benefits from it?

Let’s take China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom as examples. The company headquarters that was once one building has become the company headquarters of three buildings.

One person in charge became three.

It was three second-in-commands that became nine second-in-commands.

Or five second-in-commands became fifteen.

Or the original fifteen branch managers became forty-five.

Moreover, China Mobile is not allowed to use China Unicom's base station towers, China Unicom is not allowed to use China Telecom's base station towers, and of course China Telecom is not allowed to use China Mobile's base station towers and lines!

You build yours, I build mine, you make yours, I make mine.

Isn’t it a waste to have a base station here and a transmission tower there? Is it the social value created by the people that is wasted?

Ultimately, these costs are passed on to consumers.

The topic has gone off track, let’s get back to Yining.

Yining also announced an important decision that gold is a war reserve material and private storage is prohibited.

Anyone who has gold at home must deposit it in the Royal Bank. If you want to collect it, you must also go to the Royal Bank to buy official gold ingots.

Moreover, the maximum amount of gold collected at home cannot exceed fifty taels, otherwise it will be considered illegal.

In this way, more than 1.5 million taels of gold were confiscated in the initial stage.

This is too little, Yining was not satisfied. If converted to later generations, it would only be 70 or 80 tons.

For such a large country, such gold reserves are far from enough.

He knew that there was still a lot of gold among the people, but people just couldn't figure it out and were unwilling to give it away.

Don't worry, it will get better slowly!

Moreover, Qian Kang has already produced gold, and now he can produce more than one hundred taels of gold a day.

He said that the output could be increased to 300 taels per day in a month.

No, three hundred taels is still too little. There are only more than 100,000 taels a year. How can this be enough?

The first group of people sent by the Ministry of Industry to North Korea for mining have also set off.

Those who come here are all the mining elites of this era.

I believe that with the detailed information provided by Yining, they will soon be on the right track!

Yining went to the Ministry of Industry to hold a meeting with Peng Yunzhang and others to explore new ideas.

The main point is to set off a mining boom across the country.

No matter what kind of mines they wanted to mine, they were specially approved to set up a new Metallurgical Bureau.

It also stipulates that minerals will always be state-owned, but individual capital participation is allowed.

Of course, you can only participate in the shares and receive dividends, but you do not have the right to manage or make decisions.

Moreover, these shares are also time-limited. After a certain period of time, the shares will be unconditionally nationalized.

If you don't agree, don't participate. He also provided the Ministry of Industry with a distribution map of most of the various mines in the country.

This can save a lot of time, manpower and material resources.

Yining asked him to increase the mining volume in Zhaoyuan and Laizhou to at least 600,000 to 1 million taels per year.

Gold and silver are not only currencies, but are also indispensable to future manufacturing.

Of course, we cannot rely solely on internal mining, we also need to find a way to bring all the gold and silver in the world to China.

In later generations, Britain and the United States made a fortune all over the world, and this time it’s my turn!

The biggest achievement during this period was of course the complete resolution of the financial problem.

There is no need to worry about money now. Yining alone has nearly 2 billion silver in his hands, which he can never spend.

The spring panic has passed. Starting from the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the summer harvest began in Anhui, and then in Henan, Shandong, Zhili and part of Liaodong.

The summer grain has been stored in the warehouse, and people don’t have to pay royal grain or national taxes this year, so their pockets are starting to get fatter.

There is one thing that needs to be explained here, that is, the tax exemption does not include landowners with more than 100 acres of land.

In this way, ordinary people who "donated" their land to the landlords would suffer.

("Contribution" is equivalent to finding a company to affiliate with in the future. Of course, you have to pay fees to affiliate with someone else's company)

The emperor no longer collects taxes, but the landlords still have to collect them. No matter how much they collect, it is the blood and sweat of the people!

Therefore, many common people immediately went to the landlords to cancel their affiliation, because the emperor had issued an edict to exempt them from taxes in the autumn.

The emperor doesn’t want taxes anymore, so wouldn’t it be unfair to pay taxes to the landlords?

Of course, the landlord must unconditionally agree to the people's termination of their affiliation.

Because the emperor also said that anyone who tries to stop the people from returning to their territory will be killed without mercy!

The landlords were all wondering why the new emperor was so violent and beheaded people at will.

You can say he has a bad temper, but why is he so kind to the poor people?!

Not only that, this year the policy of "officials and gentry serve as one and pay taxes as one" was officially implemented.

This policy was implemented without any warning and came suddenly, catching the landlords and gentry off guard!

Of course they don’t want to!

However, this time the local government is surprisingly tough. If you don't pay taxes according to regulations, the government will arrest you immediately.

If you dare to conceal the truth, the county magistrate will personally bring people to measure your land.

If any underreporting or concealment is discovered, the offender will be punished lightly with a beating or severely with a prison sentence!

Moreover, the landlords not only had to pay grain taxes, but also had to perform corvee labor!

That is, they need to go to the construction site to work for free!

This was not the case in the past, as corvee labor had always been the responsibility of ordinary people.

Landlords and gentry are people of status, how can they work together with those peasants?

They don't go, they don't want to go, they can't go!

But, but, but, the emperor said that it doesn’t matter if you don’t go, you can just hire someone to take your place at your own expense.

The emperor also set a price, and the daily price for hiring someone to do the work could not be less than fifty copper coins.

The emperor said that river work is too tiring and the pay is too low!

If the price is too low, the people can file a complaint, and the government will arrest people as long as it is implemented.

The landlords were also wondering why the current emperor always had problems with the rich.

Moreover, these newly appointed county magistrates are also extremely biased towards the common people!

They don't even show any politeness when they see landlords and gentry, but they treat ordinary people like their relatives when they see them. What's wrong with this world?

There is also the eunuch living in the county. They ride horses around the fields, teahouses and taverns every day.

I don’t know what they were asking about, but the county magistrate seemed to be quite scared when he looked at them!

In this way, the people's food problem is basically solved.

Even those who have no land and no ability to make a living will not starve, as the government continues to provide relief.
