Chapter 63 Guarantee
Revitalizing agriculture is not about not developing industries, but about developing military industry, but only developing advantageous industries. Mechanical and electrical products represented by permanent magnet motors are one of them, including chemical products, soda ash, and synthesis of ammonia. Organic chemical products are the key points. The five books on high school chemistry are all about organic chemistry, and polymer chemistry introduces two methods of synthesizing polymer compounds.
One is the addition polymerization reaction, and the other is the condensation polymerization reaction. The former examples mentioned in the book are polyethylene, and the latter is polyamide fiber, that is, nylon 66, which Americans call nylon that is "fineer than spider silk and harder than steel". In addition to polyethylene and nylon, the book also has the reaction equations and reaction introductions of phenolic resins, polyester, butyl rubber, and sodium polyacrylate (diaper).
Although there are many things, there are few catalysts introduced, which is an extremely serious problem. Someone has long known the principle of synthesis of ammonia, but the reaction conditions and catalysts required for the reaction are the key to the synthesis of ammonia industry. The same is true for polymer materials. Taking polyethylene as an example, although it was invented in the 1930s and put into practical use before World War II, it was necessary to achieve low-cost production in the late 1960s before the emergence of medium pressure and high-efficiency catalysts at the time of the 1960s. Even then, the output was only 7 million tons.
The details of technological development are not what Yang Rui knew. He only knew that these things would be very popular in the future. Even if industrial production cannot be achieved, they still have to continue to invest. The nylon stockings brought by the polymer laboratory today are one of them.
Without considering the woman who was snuggling beside him, he was playing with the stockings that had been taken off the woman's thighs and thought about things: he didn't believe that this thing could make billions of dollars to kill. Now the price of raw stockings is between thirty cents and forty cents. Even if nylon stockings can be five times more, they can only be sold for two dollars a pair. The world's population is 1.7 billion, and only European and American women can afford raw stockings. And nylon stockings that are five times more expensive than raw stockings, based on the population of less than 500 million in Europe and the United States, the world's potential customers will not exceed 120 million. How many potential customers will buy nylon stockings? How many pairs of stockings can buy those who can buy them?
Yang Rui estimated that nylon stockings will have annual sales of less than US$100 million. If there is no innovation in ten years, not to mention that sales of Russia will decline after the outbreak, and the technology is likely to be cracked by European and American companies. If that is the case, the high profit will disappear immediately, and nylon will eventually become a raw material that is higher-end than rayon.
Nylon is like this. Polyethylene is even more unbearable, because it needs to react in an environment of 100,300mpa or 300 degrees. The high cost makes the output extremely low. The planned annual output proposed by the Ministry of Industry is only a pitiful 100 tons; the same is true for polyester, and the limitation of catalysts makes its cost too high; the Germans have made and put into use; and synthetic rubber is even more deceptive, and the cost is several times that of natural rubber. Even if the output is expanded, it is still more expensive than natural rubber. The project leader believes that in addition to ensuring the supply of strategic military materials, synthetic rubber is meaningless; in the end, it is diapers. This thing may be sold to families with extremely high incomes, but it can be sold in the end.
The man's eyes were chaotic and chaotic. Cheng Feng stroked his face with his hand and said softly: "Is there something I can't think about it again?"
"Hmm? Well." The man responded. After a long time, he said, "How do you think of these socks? If you sell them for one dollar, how many pairs would you buy?"
"One dollar a pair?" Cheng Xu said in surprise. She took the socks and said, "This price is too expensive. I'm afraid that few people can afford it. Also, this..... These socks are so thin, who dares to wear them? At most, they only wear them at home."
"Well." Yang Rui thought about the entire polymer chemical industry. He had no intention of talking at all. Compared with the women who showed their thighs in later generations and wanted to wear them, women of this era are extremely conservative, not to mention Asia, but Europe and the United States. Can these socks be made into erotic ** and use them to seduce men?
There was something thoughtful above and something moved below. The woman's thigh that was pressed against him suddenly felt the 'anticipated', and her tender white face turned red again. Just when she thought she was going to fight for another 300 rounds, the man lifted the quilt and got up, and said seriously: "I'm very busy, very busy, and I haven't read many reports yet."
The door of the study room was closed for an hour and opened again. Yang Wuming, who had been looking for his mother for a long time, came to Cheng Wu and asked her where she had just been. The couple was amused and had to make up a lie and deceive the child. After the mother and son left, Yang Rui lit a cigarette and opened the documents handed over to the front of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Guanya, and read the report on the new village construction.
This is a report written by several international students from the Ministry of Agriculture after surveys in Liaodong counties. Unlike other counties in the country, the literacy rate of Tonghua, Huairen, Kuandian and other counties is as high as 60%. The roads, schools, health, literature and art, agriculture, forestry, organization and economy in rural areas are unexpectedly good. It seems that this place is not China, but Japan or Western European countries.
After two years of research, the Ministry of Agriculture hopes to promote the Liaodong rural model to the whole country. That is, through education, eliminate young and strong illiterate people, morally educate farmers, and get rid of the old nature of "foolish, poor, weak, and private" and create a healthy and good new farmer; while educating farmers and changing the old habits of farmers, they will also promote through reasonable economic planning and effective science and technology, and cooperate with good farmers to build a prosperous new countryside together.
In this report, Yang Rui can see the things implemented by the Chinese Education Club before the founding of the country, and also the content of regional economics he taught before, as well as the organizational methods of the farmers' association, science and technology for increasing production and income. This report basically organically integrates the work of the previous China Education Club, the Kanto Bank Liaodong Economic Planning Working Group, the Northeast Rural Credit Cooperative, and the farmers' association. It proposes a new rural construction plan that "based on land reform and education, and through cooperation and science and technology as a means to enrich rural culture, prosper rural economy, improve rural health, and stabilize rural politics."
The report is very comprehensive, and has made a pertinent and positive evaluation of the work of agricultural reclamation companies, agricultural trade companies, farmers' associations, rural credit cooperatives, and rural cooperatives before the founding of Liaodong. On this basis, the future plan of the countryside proposed is very similar to the agricultural cooperatives of Japan and South Korea in later generations. Especially considering the shortcomings of China's small rural plots and high cost of small area planting, the report proposes to use rural professional cooperatives in rural Liaodong as a template. It is promoted in various provinces within the customs to truly achieve agricultural scientificization; and because there are oil presses in various counties in Liaodong. The report also believes that it can support the construction of township industries and prosper rural economy.
Yang Rui smiled when he saw the township industry. He picked up his pen and changed the township industry into a rural enterprise, and then thought carefully about what these rural enterprises contained. It is obvious that rural enterprises can only invest in all citrus growers like the citrus cooperative in Wenzhou, and they are also run by all citrus growers. Each household will keep a certain amount of funds in the cooperative according to the output to ensure the operation of the cooperative. This American Newcastle model is only suitable for agricultural product processing and sales, which does not mean that all industrial products can be implemented in this way.
Some foreign industrial products, such as agricultural supplies, agricultural tools, agricultural machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, etc., can only be produced near mineral resources or in a comprehensive industrial park; while daily necessities, soap, shoes, socks, clothing, and daily necessities should be produced in places with more convenient transportation and a more prosperous economy.
What the countryside can really do is primary agricultural product processing, providing raw materials for industrial areas across the country. Only those rural areas that are already at transportation nodes and are close to cities can truly develop into industrial parks. Otherwise, in the end, like Zhang Jian’s construction of Nantong, no matter how much construction is, it is just textile and salt making, and other industries cannot be built. After all, the other side of the river is the center of China’s economy. With Shanghai in it, how can Nantong stand out?
Later township enterprises started in townships, but after they became developed, they would all leave the countryside and enter a higher-level economic circle. The reason why they were called township enterprises was just because they started as townships.
Rural enterprises are the first step in the development of rural professional cooperatives. The second step depends on luck. If they have resources and regional advantages, and managers can seize the opportunity, they may become township enterprises in later generations and eventually become bigger, but the probability is too small.
Compared with urban industries, the real advantage of rural industries is the nearby resources and cheap labor costs. However, resource advantages are not absolute. Now Zhang Jian’s Dasheng Shingle Mill can feel that the cotton in the northwest is more than that in Tongzhou, and there are great advantages in quantity and quality. When the cotton production in the northwest exceeds that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even the entire China no longer imports cotton, the Dasheng Shingle Mill only has transportation advantages; and when the national railway network is completed, the advantage of Dasheng Shingle Mill is only skilled workers and the industry and market management experience in the cotton spinning industry for many years, and there is nothing else.
Rural industry is not the focus of Yang Rui's attention. Rural professional cooperatives are what he really cares about. Once a cooperative is established, the operating model of small households will be changed. Several households can afford to buy tractors together, but the population must be controlled and social wealth cannot be shared due to population growth.
After the tax on population is imposed, the fertility rate will definitely be greatly reduced. In this era, controlling fertility does not necessarily require condoms. For thousands of years, dynasties have imposed tax on population tax. The population control of hidden households that were tax-free due to the tax exemption of gentry and gentry in the Ming Dynasty began to lose control. In the Qing Dynasty, the tax on population was completely collapsed due to the accumulation of acres, and the tax on population was re-engaged because of the tax payment. Abortion of abortion, medication, contraception, and even drowning of infants will reappear. Draining of infants is illegal, but the people do not sue the officials and do not investigate. In order to control the population, this is also a matter of turning a blind eye.
As for the population dividend, only after the population receives education can it become a dividend. Otherwise, the population in Africa will be lifted out of poverty and become rich in the future. After the national yield is increased, if farmers really take all the increased part of the grain to raise their children, then not to mention the increase in education costs, how will these people arrange it when they grow up? If the foreign trade model is not implemented, what is the significance of the increase in population? Besides, even now the population is overpopulated. When most farmers in the country join professional cooperatives and use mechanical farming, the saved labor force cities cannot be digested at all, so birth control is a must.
Yang Rui recalled the population tax bill formulated by the representative of the Scripture Academy. The target was the population tax born after August 15, 2018, 2018. Like personal income tax, it also implements a progressive tax rate: if two couples have less than two children, each 2 qian per 2 qian according to the old rules; if more than two do not exceed four, each 4 qian per 2 qian; if more than four, then double the calculation. The fifth qian is eight qian, the sixth qian per 1 liang and six qian, and the seventh qian per 3 liang and two qian... As for the eighth qian, the poor families cannot afford to pay. Their final outcome is immigration, immigration to the Western Regions, Heilongjiang, and the newly occupied Northeast. These places do not collect silver, so they can live without a stomachache.
For the young people, only the Western Regions, Mongolia, Tibet and Yunnan are special. Mongolian and Tibetan people are actually expropriated by local governments, and the central government only supervises them, and cannot exceed the expropriation standards; while Yunnan and Western Regions, after the former control, they will implement the same standards as other provinces. The latter is not as simple as controlling the population. The 1.7 million white people there are, leaving behind is a hidden danger. Yang Rui’s previous plan was to immigrate him to Lake Balkash, which is now the Qihe Province in Russia. The land is fertile, but there are many Kazakhs. It is also a way to let them restrain each other, even if it is not the Western Regions, it will be cleared.
Yang Rui's idea was to put hidden dangers in one place instead of spreading them all. The Balkhash Lake area is not where he cares. His goal is to border Persian territory at the lowest point, and to obtain the Caspian coast at the highest point. However, this plan is ridiculous now, which is really wishful thinking.
China and Persia border. That means the Soviet Union lost its way to the south. Britain was happy that after he lost control of the Afghan barrier, the Soviet Union and Bukhara and Shiva would not agree. It would be better to say whether the Soviet Union would be satisfied with the right to lease the Siberian Railway and Vladivostok. The two Khanates of Bukhara and Shiva (now Uzbekistan) had a population of more than 4 million, all of which were devout white people. If China's railways want to connect Persia, it would have to pass through the Bukhara Khanate. Instead of leaving the Bukhara Khanate, it would have to cross the Pamir Plateau from the southern Kyrgyzstan and Tajik in later generations.
Before Yang Rui could tell the Ministry of Transportation, he was shocked to death when he was discussing with Yang Zengxin. He believed that the road was high and steep and snowy, and even if the railway was over, it would still be possible to cross the Bukhara Khanate. The Bukhara Khanate and Afghanistan bordered. According to Yang Rui's idea, he did not want the two Khanate Bukhara and Shiva to become China's territory to avoid greening. At the same time, he also required the territory to border Persia and even the Caspian Sea, so he could only forcefully occupy land, take over Termez, the important southern city of the Bukhara Khanate, and then take over Mare to the south of the Turkmen tribe, or a little south to the border close to Afghanistan, to realize this idea.
Don't think about the Caspian Sea first, just say that it is bordering Persia. If Persia will re-accept Turkmen as its territory, then the matter will be simple. Just solve Termez. But if Persia is the same as before, fearing the Turkmen tribe and preferring to lose land to Russia, it will involve territorial issues with Turkmen. Turkmen is the last and most difficult nation for Russia to conquer in Central Asia. It took several years to occupy the territory of Kuman Russia and massacre countless
The Turkmen tribes have just annexed this place. China is too far away from there. Yang Zengxin suggested that if it was just to seek a passage, it should not be in conflict with the Turkmen tribes, nor should it be in conflict with the Bukhara Khanate. The solution can be done is to exchange land or buy land. A part of the fertile land of the Fergana Basin exchanges Termez with the Bukhara Khanate; at the same time, it helps the Turkmen tribes establish the country at the cost of selling the useless 5,000 square kilometers of land in the south to China.
Turkmen has only one million people, and each person only has ten million taels of silver. This money is far less than the military expenditure for the war. In the future, military expenditure will be less for the future. Moreover, since it is a transaction, there will be no disputes in the future. However, this is just a single-to-one imagination. Yang Zengxin believes that Russia, Britain, and even Afghanistan will have opinions on this. When Afghanistan was demarcating the boundaries, many tribes were placed in the Russian territory. Now that the Chinese great charity liberates the people of Central Asia, they will inevitably demand the return of the previously occupied territory, such as the Tajik and southern Turkmen.
The report on building a new countryside was thrown aside, and the map of Central Asia that had almost been turned on again. Yang Rui pondered solemnly. Central Asia and the Northeast were difficult to have the best of both worlds. Even if he took advantage of the collapse of the Russian Tsarist government, he could only send a small number of troops. At this time, the United States should declare war on Germany. China launched an attack again and occupied Russian territory. Britain, France and the United States would definitely be furious. But this is another critical period of war business. In order not to anger the Allies, the countermeasures that Yang Rui could think of were to hand over the 200,000 Russian troops captured in the Northeast to the Allies, and he also had to clarify his position on Germany, or even declare war on Germany.
If this does not satisfy the Allies, it doesn't matter. Once the Bolsheviks seize power and terminate the war with Germany, then the diplomacy with the Allies will change again. While the Tsarist Russian power has subsided and the Bolsheviks are still in a civil war, can they stabilize the borders of Central Asia be stabilized?
When Yang Rui thought of this, the scene of the Fuxing Army and the local Central Asian troops being beaten by the Soviet Red Army suddenly flashed in his mind. He couldn't help but shake his head. It was too far away. The Western Regions Railway should connect to the Russian Central Asian Railway according to the progress. It would take at least the end of the twelve years of Shenwu. Even so, the limited army and the only railway may not be able to defend the flat grassland from Lake Balkash to the northern coast of the Caspian Sea under the tide-like attack of the Soviet Red Army.
If they can't beat it, they can only negotiate, but why does the Soviet Union lose Central Asia again after losing the Far East? According to the research results of Russian Science and Technology of the Intelligence Agency, Russia does not expect to go south from Central Asia to India. What they cannot bear most after losing Central Asia is the loss of cotton from Central Asia, which is a crucial material for Russia. And after losing the weakness of the Far East, Russia no longer needs to take care of Central Asia. If the railway is built too late, the Russian army may still occupy the Tianshan area in the Western Regions after the war.
Railway! Railway! After somehow transferring to the Central Asia issue, Yang Rui talked about the longest railway again. He stood up and called the secretariat. He initially wanted to find Zhan Tianyou, the head of the Western Regions Railway, but the secretariat replied that Zhan Tianyou was still in Lanzhou and had not come back. The phone number was finally transferred to Sheng Xuanhuai's house. The old man came in a while.
"How is the Western Regions Railway?" Yang Rui asked the Western Regions Railway one after another, which was what he cared about the most.
"Prime Minister, the railway has passed Baoji. It is almost built to Tianshui. As long as it passes Tianshui, you can reach Lanzhou soon." Sheng Xuanhuai thought it was an urgent matter, but it was the Western Regions Railway, so he felt relieved. "The road construction is always done by machines. The progress is faster than before. The real difficulty is that this section of the terrain is dangerous and there are many tunnels."
The railway could be built on the plain for five or six hundred kilometers. After the Shanxi Railway was built to Xi'an, the project to the west has never stopped, but after more than a year, the railway was still spinning in the mountains. Yang Rui sighed: "The stability in the northwest and even the national destiny of China are closely related to when the Western Regions Railway will be repaired. If we don't take advantage of Russia's weakness, we will bite a piece of meat from him. Then we, hey..."
The longer Yang Rui was in the position of the Prime Minister, the more powerful he gained. He sighed so much, Sheng Xuanhuai also began to worry. He said: "Prime Minister, although the railway is blocked in Tianshui, in summer, some road construction machines and workers have been transferred to Lanzhou. This is not the construction of Tianshui section, and the road bridges are also being built in Lanzhou. The standard of this road is higher than that of all railways, including the Tianshui section of Baoji, the Wushaoling Tunnel in Lanzhou, the Xingxing Gorge in Xinjiang, the Bailifeng District after entering Xinjiang, and many sections along the way are short of water and people. These are the keys to slowing down the progress. After all, it is a railway of more than 3,000 kilometers. It is probably difficult to build without ten years."
"The Russian Siberian Railway is more than 7,000 kilometers, and the ice and snow plateau along the way is uninhabited. It took only 11 years to complete and open to traffic. Even with the subsequent finishing work, it took only 15 years. Our road is more than 3,000 kilometers long, can't it be completed earlier? The section with water and people is slow, but from Lanzhou to Zhangye, this section is not a lack of people." Yang Rui said, "The speed of the construction of this railway is related to the national destiny, and it is not a question of whether the territory or not. The transportation department must come up with a solution, two years in advance, and it will be opened in the tenth year of Shenwu, or even the ninth year of Shenwu."
The great leader made a decision. Sheng Xuan was in tears and had no tears, so he had to go back to his house to find a way. More than 30 years ago, Zuo Zongtang, who was inconsistent with Li Zhongtang, led his troops into Xinjiang to recover the lost territory. More than 30 years later, he, who did not agree with Zuo Zongtang's entry into Xinjiang, was indescribable irony. In his opinion, taking back the Far East was a great good thing, but now he has to recover the lost territory in the northwest again, and how much value can there be there?
Sheng Xuanhuai was born in the country of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. His impression of northwest Xinjiang was only yellow sand. However, since he was in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Transport, he had to fulfill his responsibilities. He did not rest when he returned to the mansion. He immediately called Yan Deqing and Hu Dongchao and said straight to the point: "The Prime Minister asked the Western Regions Railway again. The Lord was not satisfied with the speed of road construction and urged us to think of a way to see if it could be opened to traffic in the tenth year of Shenwu. Tell me, what are the solutions?"
Chapter completed!
