"This year's fiscal revenue of Dashang Group is about 3.2 billion Dashangyuan, equivalent to 6.4 billion US dollars, which is about ten times the revenue of the Qing court's treasury." Tong Qianjia sat affectionately beside Wang Yi, Kim Yoon-er, Lin Tae-hee, Han Xiu-jing, and Jiang Jiaren stood behind them. The chief financial officer of Dashang and the wife of Li Yuzhen, currently the dean of Dashang Institute of Finance and Economics, was reading the report.

"It seems that the income this year is pretty good." Wang nodded.[]

"Although the income is good, our various expenses are quite large. The annual fiscal investment of the five Southeast Asian provinces is about 400 million yuan. Mozambique also has 200 million yuan each year, plus the annual scientific research funding of the Dashang Industrial Laboratory. Together, these have almost reached half of the net profit. Thanks to the cost of the war with the Tsarist Russians in the north and the autonomous region's government since last year, the wars in other regions have gradually subsided, otherwise our pressure will be heavier."

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the functions of the Northeast Autonomous Region Government, the war costs in the Northeast have gradually been borne by the Autonomous Region Government. However, the insurance team is still under the command of Wang Yi, while the police, tax inspection, and coastal patrol teams are managed by the Autonomous Region Government.

Wang Yi pondered for a moment, and then said: "The fiscal revenue of the United States is about $10 billion in a year. We cannot compare with them now, but our momentum is better than them! In the field of science and technology, we have begun to gradually occupy a world leader. In terms of population, we have also begun to surpass them. As the education level of people gradually improves, there will be more demographic dividends in the future. Encourage birth, develop education, strengthen infrastructure construction, increase scientific research funding investment, and create a unified national market are the cornerstones of our Northeast Autonomous Region."

Miss Qiu Er didn't say anything, thinking about Wang Yi's words. Of course, the targets that Northeast China is catching up now are Britain, the United States, France, and the Qing Dynasty... If the treasury income is less than 90 million taels of silver, it is only one-fifth of that of Britain. This is not the most tragic thing. If the industrial output value is calculated, it may not even be one percent of the other. Who said that the Qing Dynasty is an agricultural country? As for the later generations, the Qing Dynasty accounts for 20 to 30% of the world's GDP and is the world's number one, I don't know where I saw the conclusion.

"So the investment above cannot be reduced, but on the contrary, it will gradually increase. With a spare money scale of about 10 billion yuan, coupled with the accumulated gold reserves, it is enough for us now."

Miss Qiu Er did not give any more comments and continued: "A variety of material reserve warehouses will also be established this year, and the emergency mechanism for disasters is also being studied. Our biggest problem now is the lack of talents, especially high-end talents, which has seriously restricted our development in all aspects."

Wang Yi has no good idea about this. A truly usable high-end talent will have to be unremittingly trained for at least nearly twenty years or even longer before it can stand alone. Even if Wang Yi has the ability, he will not be able to shorten this process.

Qian Jia grabbed Wang Yi's hand and said, "The talent problem is not something you are anxious to solve. In recent years, our investment in education is second only to our investment in science and technology. I believe that in a few years, the situation will improve."

Miss Qiu Er obviously did not intend to let Wang Yi go today. One problem after another. No matter how nervous Wang Yi was, he felt the cold wind whirring on his back.

There are many problems with Northeast China and Da Shang!

Wang Yi was upset, but there were many people in the world who were upset than him, one of them was Yuan Shikai.

The Qing court ordered the formation of a new army. Although the order of the Lord Buddha, there was no one under his command and there was no money in his hands. According to the court's intention, it was necessary to prepare to clean up the redundant soldiers from all over the country before the silver and grain could be in place. However, at the speed of the Qing court's handling of the problem, I'm afraid that Lao Yuan himself was in his seventies and eighties, and this problem could not be solved.

The new army is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yuan Shikai. Otherwise, given his lack of education and background, if he cannot seize this opportunity in his life, he probably won’t be able to make a name for himself. Fortunately, his hardcore brother Xu Shichang gave him an idea to go to Northeast China to raise funds.

This matter is ridiculous, but there are many old and young people in the Qing Dynasty in Northeast China, but now they have all changed into Anshan people in Northeast China, at least on the surface. As for the strength of the Northeast government and the strength of the insurance team, they are obvious to all. Although some people are inevitably willing to go to the Qing court, they have let them sacrifice their lives and shed their blood to restore the Qing rule. Needless to others, they also know that this is a delusion.

Of course, not many people really have such ideas now. Those who really don’t want to be in the Northeast Autonomous Region have already returned to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, Northeast China is much better than those in the pass, so I dare not say that everyone can get rich, but with a lot of effort, it is no problem to eat a full meal. People who have suffered from famine understand the feeling of being empty and want to eat people, and no one wants to live a hungry life anymore.

However, the Qing Dynasty still had a certain appeal among the people in the Northeast. Last time, Prince Qing and Li Hongzhang came to the Northeast and raised more than 500,000 taels of silver. Now Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang also had the idea of ​​the people in the Northeast, which made them glad that the Northeast Autonomous Region government did not intervene. After all, the Northeast Autonomous Region did not leave the Qing Dynasty. Another point is that the money belongs to the people themselves, and they spend whatever they like. It was just that there was a storm, that was, some companies started by Manchus, forced employees to donate, and later sued the labor arbitration department of the autonomous region government by some dissatisfied employees. It was just that the situation later developed in a direction that everyone expected.

Shengjing, the capital of Fengtian Province, is now the administrative center of the entire Northeast Autonomous Region. The Prime Minister's Office of the Autonomous Region is established on the banks of the Hunhe River. Because there are huge glass greenhouses around it and flowers and plants from all over the country are planted, it is called the Four Seasons Palace by the Northeast. At this time, a countermeasure meeting is being held in the meeting room of the Prime Minister's Office, discussing the current situation in the Northeast.

"How do you think this matter should be handled?" The person who spoke was Wang Kaiyun, Minister of Justice. Everyone knows that forced fundraising can be big or small, but once it is not handled well, it may be used by those who are interested, causing conflicts between Manchus and Han within the Northeast.

Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing sat in the first seat, next to several ministers and several government advisers.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have allowed those bastards from the Qing court to raise funds in our Northeast!" a minister complained.

"In the hearts of some people, the Qing Dynasty is orthodox. Even if we prohibit them from donating, they will not give up. We can't stop it. OK, it's useless to say that these are now." Yang Qiuxing interrupted the minister's complaint.

The rest of the people don’t speak now, and no one has a good idea.

Finally, Yang Qiuxing made a decision: "We must control the direction of public opinion in this matter. First, we insist that private property is sacred and inviolable. Second, forced donations are individual cases and cannot be extended to the two ethnic groups of Han and Manchu. This is not a national conflict..."

Yang Qiuxing's words were interrupted by a secretary who rushed into the conference room, and everyone's hearts followed his footsteps and tightened. The secretary came to Yang Qiuxing, lowered his body, and whispered a few words, and then Yang Qiuxing's face turned ashen.

There are many iron ore in Gongchangling. Although the Northeast Autonomous Region strictly prohibits private mining and thieves, it provides private mining licenses. Langqiao is a Manchu, runs a mine and employs more than 300 people. He is considered a dead mine owner with a relatively large scale. Among his miners are Han and Manchu, and his business mainly provides various ores for Dashang Steel Company and non-ferrous metals companies. As a mine owner, he is a good person and is very generous to miners. Therefore, although it is a very dangerous profession to go to mine, the miners under him work very hard.

However, there was a problem with such a mine two days ago. Lang Qiao's family was slaughtered at night, and even his granddaughter, who had just been born a few days ago, was not spared. The cruel and cruel method was outrageous. The murderer committed the crime very concealed and seemed to be a habitual offender, so the public security personnel have not found many useful clues so far.

Originally this was a case, but now the situation is special, but unexpectedly it fermented. Just yesterday, a news without source spread throughout the Gongchangling area. The reason why Lang Qiao was killed was because he forced his miners to donate money to the Qing court to build a new army. The miners under him conspired to kill Lang Qiao's family at night because they were dissatisfied with his actions. No one knows the truth or fault of this matter, but the consequences are very serious.

Now most of the mining areas in Gongchangling are paralyzed. Several gangs of gangs that emerged from somewhere have begun to plunder everywhere and spread rumors. Later, the hidden gang forces in the local area also came out to cause trouble, and social order was in chaos for a while. Because the incident was rushed, the Gongchangling District Government had no time to react, so the murderers united to break through the defense of the government building. The officials who were working were seriously injured, and the attacked were also local representative committees, banks, hospitals, schools, factories, power plants, water plants, and even kindergartens and nurseries. Now the riots are expanding to surrounding towns. Thanks to the surrounding cities receiving advance warnings, the police cooperated with the insurance team to make a large move, which stabilized the situation, but it was not optimistic.

In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Office of Northeast Autonomous Region, it was a moment of silence. This was the first time that this happened after the establishment of the Northeast Autonomous Region Government. No one had any experience, so the officials were at a loss. Later, Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly stood up and said, "Immediately activate the crisis emergency mechanism, and order the insurance team to immediately enter the Gongchangling area to clear up the rebellion and maintain social security and stability. At the same time, he ordered hospitals in various places to organize rescue teams to gather in Liaoyang City, and the insurance team escorted into the disaster area to rescue the injured, do a good job in sanitation and epidemic prevention, and allocate materials to resettle victims."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the secretary turned around and left.

"Call the Air Force and send Air Force No. 1, I'm going to Gongchangling."
Chapter completed!
