Chapter 171
The change in the situation in Southeast Asia has become a foregone conclusion. There is no problem for the Ares Group to take over the Malay Peninsula.
This matter will definitely cause an uproar in the international community.
However, countries such as Britain and France can only watch the loss of Southeast Asia.
Because now they are no longer able to send more troops to Southeast Asia.
Unless they don't want Europe.
You must know that Germany has become more and more dishonest recently.
Although England, France and the United States all want to support Germany to stop the eastward expansion of the bear. They even want to see them both lose, so that they can reap the benefits.
But they must also maintain a certain military force in Europe.
So it is destined that it is impossible to make a big move in the Far East.
They can only bite their teeth and swallow the situation in Southeast Asia.
Taking over the Malay Peninsula is equivalent to controlling the strategic shipping route of the Strait of Malacca.
It also removes the last obstacle for China to extend its tentacles to the Middle East.
But this is only the first step against the Western powers.
Next, Jiang Fan will have a series of actions to gradually cut off the influence of Western powers in Asia.
This includes the United States.
He does not allow the tentacles of Western powers to reach any country in Asia.
At home, Jiang Fan is also planning a big event.
And this big event is directly related to currency.
At present, the main currency in China is the ocean.
Because China has been in a period of war before, warlords in various places have been separatist, and even issued currency indiscriminately.
It also makes the people full of distrust of paper money.
Therefore, hard currency such as the ocean can be popular in China.
Even until the issuance of legal currency later, it cannot replace the position of the ocean in the hearts of the people.
Now that China has completed its unification, the speed of industrial development is getting faster and faster, and the proportion is getting heavier.
The ocean has become an obstacle to economic and industrial development.
So currency reform has become inevitable.
In fact, Jiang Fan has been planning this matter since June.
Currency reform is not a trivial matter, but a major event related to 400 million people across the country.
So let the Minister of Finance Jia Shiyi personally take charge and plan this matter in conjunction with major relevant departments and institutions.
After several months of planning, this matter finally has a tone.
Minister of Finance Jia Shiyi is indeed a talent.
He is also known as the first person in finance in the Republic of China.
He was born in 1887 and is 47 years old this year.
This age is considered very high in the Republic of China.
Jia Shiyi made his mark in his youth.
He went to study at Meiji University in the East, and obtained a bachelor's degree in politics during this period.
During this period, he was also awarded the title of forensic imperial examination by the Qing Dynasty.
After returning to China, he has been keen on education and wants to promote the development of finance in the Republic of China.
Later, he wrote the history of finance in the Republic of China, national debt and finance, tariffs and national power, etc., which are even more praised as the pioneering work of studying the finance of the Republic of China.
For the many problems of finance and taxation in the Republic of China, Jia Shiyi has been seeking opportunities to reform the financial system.
He was highly valued during the Beiyang period and played an important role in the field of finance and economy.
His financial thinking is also more inclined to be people-oriented and practical.
This is exactly the talent that Jiang Fan needs.
So he recruited Jia Shiyi under his command.
He has been polishing in the Ministry of Finance.
On August 1, after the new government was established, Jia Shiyi was promoted from the position of Deputy Minister of Finance to the position of Minister of Finance as he wished.
The new currency reform was one of the most important things he did after taking office.
Then there were tax reforms, financial reforms, etc.
"Chairman, these are the two versions of currency we have currently formulated.
It is called Huayuan, and is divided into paper money and coins.
The largest denomination of paper money is 50 yuan, followed by 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 2 jiao, 1 jiao, 5 fen, and 1 fen. The largest denomination of coins is 1 yuan, followed by 5 jiao, 1 jiao, 5 fen, and 1 fen.
We will use 6 silver, 2 copper, and 2 taels to cast the one-yuan coin, and the remaining denominations will be made of copper and iron, gradually replacing silver and copper yuan.
This will also make it easier to gain the trust of the people.
For paper money, we use a lot of special materials and unique printing technology.
Now the printing factory has started to manufacture new coins and can be issued at any time~."
Jiang Fan picked up the two versions of currency on the table and looked at them carefully.
The paper money is very beautifully made, not the kind of crudely made currency.
As for the coins, the weight is also very sufficient, and it can also be called a smaller version of the silver dollar.
Because silver accounts for 60% of the weight of these coins.
No matter from which aspect, Jiang Fan can't find any faults.
"Then we should issue the two versions of the currency, and we must not let the industrial and economic development suffer too much impact."
Jiang Fan then asked another question.
"How is the new fiscal reform going?"
Jia Shiyi took out a document from his file bag and placed it on Jiang Fan's desk.
"Chairman, according to your idea, a preliminary plan has been formulated."
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows and picked up the new fiscal reform system to read it.
In this new fiscal reform system, finance is divided into court finance and local finance.
And local finance is divided into provincial finance, municipal finance, county finance and township finance.
The subtlety of this new fiscal reform system lies in the hierarchical system. (To read the novel of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The hierarchical system is very complicated.
But the overall meaning is that Zhongyang finance is the core of the entire national fiscal system and occupies a dominant position in finance.
Form a hierarchical finance under the unified leadership and unified plan of the national finance. The biggest advantage of this is to prevent the situation where local governments become too big and government orders cannot be issued outside Beijing.
Of course, if you want the horse to run, you can't not feed the horse grass.[]
If local governments want to develop, they need money, and a lot of money.
So they are given a certain degree of autonomy.
There is a degree in this, which must be measured.
It is this degree that is the most difficult to grasp.
So this is only a preliminary plan, and it needs to be implemented through pilot projects.
These things are not Jiang Fan's expertise, but he also knows how to grasp this degree.
However, there is one thing that Jiang Fan is trying to avoid, that is, land finance.
Land finance will indeed speed up the pace of local development, but the bad consequences will also appear in a few decades.
Although China has just started industrial development, it is at the forefront of countries around the world in terms of technological development, and it is still very advanced.
Therefore, science and technology, industrial finance is a healthy and sustainable development route.
However, its disadvantage is that it is very dependent on a huge market.
Once the market is saturated or there is a problem, development will fall into stagnation.
But there is no perfect system.
This is already the most suitable fiscal route for development at present.
So next, Jiang Fan will continue to increase investment in local industry and technology.
I believe that it will not be long before China's industry will be able to flourish.
Then there is the reform of finance. Finance can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages, but vigorously developing finance is definitely not a good thing for the development of a country's industry.
���Jian has taught Jiang Fan a lesson.
Jiang Fan's attitude towards finance is cautious.
It is absolutely impossible to open it up to the outside world completely.
Restrictions must be imposed, and a lenient entry and strict exit approach must be adopted.
Do it behind closed doors.
After all, if you want to play with finance, China cannot be a match for the West.
Especially that group of Jews.
If it is completely liberalized, China's industrial development will become a place for the other side to reap leeks.
Both finance and finance are very complicated matters.
Jiang Fan only needs to set a tone, and these professionals will handle it properly.
This is also a kind of decentralization, and Jiang Fan is very good at it.
It is precisely because of this that he can run around everywhere.
In Jiang Fan's view, he only needs to grasp the general direction.
Just formulate a route and develop along this route.
There is no need to intervene in everything.
But I don't know if it's because Jiang Fan is too idle, or if there are troubles coming.
Master Lin smiled at Jiang Fan who stopped him from going out.
"Chairman, what do you think about what I told you last time?"
Jiang Fan's face changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he said,"I'll think about it again."
Listening to Jiang Fan's perfunctory tone, Master Lin was also quite helpless.
He didn't know why the chairman (Zhao Zhao) was so resistant to introducing him to a date.
Master Lin came to Jiang Fan, and Jiang Fan called it a troublesome thing, nothing else but a blind date.
Jiang Fan was terrified at the word.
He had suffered a lot from this before he crossed over.
He didn't expect that he couldn't get rid of it even after becoming the boss.
Of course, Jiang Fan's main concern was not here.
It was because of the Red Alert Base.
The Red Alert Base could be said to be his biggest secret.
As his bedside person, it was inevitable that he would find some clues.
However, with the existence of the mind controller, it was not particularly important.
But now Jiang Fan is not very willing to have a partner.
Now the country is in a state of disrepair, and his energy is focused on this.
Most of the time he is either in the office or on the way to inspect.
It is inevitable that he will neglect his family.
In short, Jiang Fan's mentality is a bit complicated now.
So he found a topic to divert.
"My Chief of Staff Lin, you came just in time. The battleship in Dalian has been launched. Come with me to take a look?"
Sure enough, Master Lin's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Battleships are an obsession for any Chinese.
They all want to have their own main battleship.
Master Lin is no exception.
