The 2136th chapter is the prosperity of the whole people
For industries related to people's livelihood and the survival of the empire, the empire often takes these industries to more extremes. On the surface, these industries are companies, but in fact they are administrative agencies, such as the Datang Railway Corporation and the Datang Grain Corporation.
Major key enterprises.
No one ever regards them as a business...
Well, the general managers of these two companies are second-grade senior officials, at the same level as the governors of various provinces and highways and the ministers of various ministries in the capital.
Many people think that these two major companies are administrative enterprises.
However, except for a few special industries, in other industries, even in important industries such as steel machinery, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises will not create a single company, but will often create two or even three or four very large enterprises to compete with each other.
As for illegal competition, when it was established in the early days, it was more about restricting these large enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. After all, these enterprises have too much energy. If they are not put under a tight spell, they can squeeze out the entire private economy, and this will have a negative impact on the private sector.
The overall development of Datang's economy was unfavorable.
Even the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises of the Empire does not believe that the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises should control most industries, which can easily lead to a stagnant situation.
Therefore, monopolizing some, restricting some, and liberalizing some are the goals pursued by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
If it were not for the self-restriction of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, it would be impossible for typical large private enterprises such as Feng Shipping Company, Qixiang Automobile Company, Hangzhou Power Machinery Company, and Zhili Textile Bank to emerge.
These large private enterprises have further stimulated the development of private enterprises, especially the development of a large number of small, medium and micro private enterprises, thereby creating a large number of employment opportunities.
Regardless of the large number of large enterprises controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, which seem to occupy a large part of the national economy, in fact, even if all of the many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises were added together, they would still provide only a small number of jobs for the huge population of the empire.
It is limited, and the tax revenue it provides is also very limited.
According to data from the Ministry of Taxation, the tax revenue contributed by enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises only accounts for 56% of the tax revenue of the industrial and commercial industry.
The tax data are pretty good, but the employment data is even more surprising!
Data provided by the Employment Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development show that the jobs provided by enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises only account for about 20% of the jobs related to industry and commerce, while various private enterprises and merchants provide 80% of the jobs.
Jobs!
And among the new jobs added every year, this figure will rise to more than 90%!
If there are one hundred new industrial and commercial-related jobs created every year, ninety-five of them are provided by the private economy. This is a surprising and astonishing figure that cannot be ignored!
This is also an important reason why the empire has continued to relax some restrictions and encourage the development of the private economy over the years. The purpose is simple: to create more jobs!
Over the years, the industrialization of the Tang Empire has continued to develop. Especially forty years after Xuanping, the empire began to implement a global economic development plan, focusing on increasing the per capita income of the people, especially the people at the bottom. To this end, the government actively encouraged the surplus labor in rural areas to come out
Working, even during slack times, can increase extra income.
However, after so many surplus laborers are released, how to solve their employment problem?
You can’t just go to big cities to beg for food!
Therefore, the empire's local economic development in recent years has been centered around the four words "jobs". Only with jobs can everything else come into play.
When measuring the performance of county officials, prefects, prefects and other local officials, the employment index will also be included as one of the most important references.
It will not be the same as before, only focusing on GDP, fiscal revenue, economic growth and the like.
Although these data are important now, the upper echelons of the empire no longer regard these data as the most important.
Now the empire's top officials pay more attention to practical things, such as employment rate, people's disposable income, food index, etc.
This is also related to the political environment of the empire in recent years. The Holy Emperor has shouted the slogan of universal prosperity, and wants to reduce the food index to less than 40% in the next many years. He also advocates an oval population income structure.
.
The ministers of the empire will naturally adapt to the development of the situation and adjust their policy strategies.
In this environment, the Tang Empire's global economic development plan began!
The focus of the plan is to increase the income of the people at the bottom, so the empire has spent huge resources on supporting the economic development of poor areas in recent years.
A large number of companies have settled in poor areas and provided jobs. With factories, there will be business jobs, income, and consumption.
This then led to the development of various local supporting economies, such as catering, retail, vegetable and meat supply, etc., and these developed incidentally, seemingly inconspicuous small and medium-sized enterprises, and even self-employed individuals, who were the mainstay of contemporary Datang society.
Job provider.
Therefore, if many local government agencies want to develop the economy, they want to find companies to open factories, so that they can rely on factories to drive the development of a series of industries and ultimately create a large number of jobs.
This economic development model began to reap fruits five years after the implementation of the imperial economic development plan.
With the end of the forty-five years of Xuanping, five years after the implementation of the global economic development plan, many departments of the empire successively announced the development results of the past five years through the Tang Dynasty newspaper.
The gross national product has further increased, especially the gross industrial and commercial production has increased significantly, and this is not the key point.
The key point is that people's income levels have generally increased, especially the income of low-income groups has increased significantly, further increasing the proportion of middle-income families in the empire.
Together with the mainland and overseas territories, the total population of the empire has reached 430 million people, of which families with middle-income levels account for about 23% of the total population.
When the economic development plan was first implemented, this figure was only 18%.
It seems that it has only increased by five percentage points in the past six years, but this is an increase in the proportion of the entire population. Behind every percentage point is a huge effort made by the empire in this regard, and the long-term implementation of the existing
The economic development strategy will eventually increase the proportion of middle-income families to 30% or even 40%, and there is a great chance that the empire's demographic structure will eventually evolve into an oval structure.
At the same time, the income of low-income groups has also increased significantly, and this increase in income is mainly due to the jobs provided by industry and commerce, especially the increase in industrial and commercial jobs in remote and poor areas.
