Although the imperial Prime Minister Gu Weijun also came to welcome the imperial guards together, Emperor Song did not have much conversation with the prime minister on the way back to the Central Palace.

As the 30th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Empire is approaching, with the leading support rate of the Restoration Party and personal reputation, Gu Weijun will easily complete his third Prime Minister's re-election campaign.

This gave Gu Weijun plenty of time and energy to formulate more of the seventh five-year plan of the empire. In the first half of the year, he had held dozens of seminars for this, roughly formulating the overall seventh five-year plan.

planning.

According to Premier Gu Weijun's vision, the new Seventh Five-Year Plan will continue to focus on education and science and technology. On the basis of the Sixth Five-Year Plan, it may be appropriately reduced infrastructural construction, and at the same time, the proportion of state-owned assets should be reduced, because military expenditures

It is inevitable that it will continue to increase and maintain. The central government's expenditure is in a deficit for two consecutive years. In order to ensure the continued promotion of imperial education and scientific research, reduce fixed public infrastructure, and sell part of government assets to maintain the government.

Financial balance is the only option.

After the emperor returned to the Central Palace, Prime Minister Gu Weijun had half an hour to explain his decision and future plans and policies to the emperor.

Back in the General Office of the Central Palace, Emperor Song received the draft of the 75th Plan from Premier Gu Weijun after sitting down. It took him ten minutes to read it roughly without much doubt.

Song Biao generally recognizes and supports Premier Gu Weijun's efforts to maintain the balance of fiscal expenditure of the central government. After all, in the next few years, the empire may continue to go to war with Germany, which will be a larger military expenditure.

If the financial situation of the central government cannot be maintained at this stage, it may only be more difficult in the future.

After reading the draft of the 7th Five-Year Plan, Song Biao put the draft together, lit a cigar for himself, sucked it lightly and calmly for a moment, thinking about some more important details in his mind.

Gu Weijun's 75th Plan is very clear and simple overall, and is consistent, that is, to continue to emphasize the importance of higher education and popular education, and to emphasize the importance of scientific research, to combine metallurgy, machinery, electrical, electronics, automobiles,

The nine industries of aviation, ships, chemicals and military industry are maintained and developed as long-term pillars of the imperial economy.

The difference from the Sixth Five-Year Plan is that the national basic engineering investment is reduced, which increases the importance of the electronics industry before the aviation and shipbuilding industries, and also increases the importance of the automobile industry.

The empire is the world's largest metallurgical, mechanical and electrical power. This is beyond doubt and is also a long-term national policy. This... determines the foundation of the empire, and the newly added electronics is also one of the foundations for the empire to continue to maintain strong development.

After thinking for a while, Song Biao used a red fountain pen to sort the nine industries, adjusting chemicals to electronics, and re-adjusting the car back to ships.

Regarding the sorting of Gu Weijun's policy of "continue to strengthen the vocational education of the Imperial secondary and higher junior colleges, strengthen the education and popular education of the Imperial University", Song Biao adjusted the popular education to the "middle school" after a brief trade-off and weighed the trade-offs period according to the order of the 55th Plan period.

Before the higher vocational education, the name was changed to "National Basic Education".

In this national-level plan, the order of each word is a true portrayal of the overall policy.

For a world power like the Empire that emphasizes the status of an industrial power, secondary and higher vocational education is the core pillar of imperial education. However, national basic education is the foundation of the entire country and nation, and the foundation of imperial education. This was in the past.

There was a dispute in the Sixth Five-Year Plan.

This is wrong.

Song Biao felt it was necessary to readjust this mistake in the Sixth Five-Year Plan that emphasized too much in junior college education. He would dismiss the draft of the draft that he corrected first, and let Gu Weijun read his opinions again, and continue to use a red pen to follow the plan.

Some new revisions were made in the manuscript.

If Gu Weijun insisted, he could ignore the emperor's opinions, because this was his job and his power as the prime minister of the empire, but he could not be so stupid.

Gu Weijun thought carefully about the emperor's adjustment opinions. He did not want to make any refutation, but he was still surprised by the status adjustment of the automobile industry.

There is a blowout demand for the development of the automobile industry in China. An important factor here is the general expectation of Chinese people to become the world's number one automobile industry country, and the huge economy that can be driven by this industry. People are enthusiastic.

He discussed all this and was particularly looking forward to it becoming the pillar of imperial industry and a marker of imperial as the world's largest industrial power.

Gu Weijun's ability to improve the status of the automobile industry so high in the 75th Five-Year Plan is largely just a reflection of the domestic people's sentiment.

Song Biao did not consider the problem like this. In his opinion, the empire had a large population. If it was to develop into a car kingdom like the United States, the consumption of fuel and the occupation of road resources would be very terrible, which would mean the empire.

Cities above 70 will be overthrown and rebuilt.

He didn't want to see such a scene.

Gu Weijun did not rush to raise objections, but quietly waited for the emperor to finish reading the rest.

Song Biao also patiently looked at the 75th Plan carefully and made a lot of modifications and notes in dozens of places, especially a special bill considered by this cabinet - the Population Balance Act.

More than a hundred words of annotation were made.

The Empire introduced the theory of population balance from the Fourth Five-Year Plan and made inferences on the current overall territory resources of the country. It believed that the total population of the Empire should be around 500 million, and the maximum is not suitable for more than 800 million. Through public opinion propaganda, we hope that the people will ensure normalcy.

fertility planning for each family of a pair of children.

During the 55th Five-Year Plan, the Imperial Central Cabinet has officially launched a series of population balance plans, restricting the indicators of national compulsory education and social medical care, imposing certain restrictions on families with more than one pair of children, and imposing women undergoing birth control surgery.

Special medical assistance provides more medical and educational support for families with only one child.

During the June 5th Five-Year Plan, with the further development of birth control technology and new investment in related medical research, the Imperial Central Cabinet began to strictly control the population overbirth. In the 7th Five-Year Plan, Gu Weijun intends to promote the new Population Balance Act.

》, additional public tax is imposed on families with more than 2 children, and partial tax is exempted for families with only one child. The guiding principle is that the more children the family must bear the national compulsory education and public medical care.

Responsibility.

During the period when this bill was brewing, it was already severely criticized by opposition parties. It is generally believed that the more children the family becomes poorer, and most families with multiple children are concentrated in rural areas. Song Jiaoren's Democratic Party believes that rural education is strengthened.

It is the main way to reduce the excess rural population, and imposing more taxes on these already impoverished families is an inhuman and anti-social option.

In response, Song Biao chose to continue to support the ruling party's plan.

Song Biao has always maintained a tough attitude towards the population issue of the empire, but the royal family itself seriously violated the concept of public opinion. The number of children of the royal family is a typical hyperbalance within the empire.

Even so, Song Biao still supports the new policy.

In some aspects, the increase in the number of royal children was basically before 45 years. It can be understood that the royal family and the emperor had never considered this before, but now they have realized this. This is the General Administration of the Inner Court and the Royalist Media.

Explanation.

Due to the special status of the emperor and the royal family in the empire, there are currently no political forces who dare to use the royal family as the negative example to criticize the population policy of the ruling party. However, in the case where the ruling party is basically unable to refute the economic and war policies, the population problem is indeed

It is the focus of opposition parties' concentrated attacks and refutation of the Restoration Party.

Song Biao has not seen the draft of the Population Balance Act that the cabinet is about to submit, but he still supports the principles advocated by Gu Weijun's cabinet. Regardless of whether the national family is poor or not, the increase in children will inevitably increase the government's financial burden, and rob the wealth.

Helping the poor is not the government’s job. If the country’s financial burden increases, it should bear more responsibilities.

Without adhering to this seemingly inhuman principle of fairness, the population problem of the empire cannot be truly effectively restricted. For a democratic country, it is impossible to implement a mandatory population planning work like TG. Mandatory tax policies

It is the only means of a democratic country.

It is undeniable that with the improvement of national education level and economic development, the empire's population birth rate will gradually decline naturally, but that will happen at least twenty years later. As for now, most citizens have not received a complete education.

Among the citizens under the age of 40 in the Empire, only 42 people have received nine-year compulsory education, and among the citizens under the age of 25 in the Empire, 87 have received twelve-year compulsory education.

From the data analysis, it will take at least fifteen years to reach a natural equilibrium in the imperial population. However, considering the influence of the concept of multi-child and blessings in traditional Chinese culture, this process is actually very slow.

It's definitely more than twenty years.

If stricter national policies are not introduced during the 75th period to restrict them, the empire's new population may reach as much as 400 million in these 20 years, and it will exceed 900 million in 1970. The empire's long-term goal is hope

It reached the upper limit of 800 million people in 1970 and continued to stabilize at this scale for the next 30 years.

With the empire's current territory of nearly 20 million square kilometers, if the total population can be maintained at 800 million for a long time, it will be a long-term positive news for the central government.

After reviewing the 75 plan submitted by Gu Weijun's cabinet, Song Biao was most concerned about population policy. He returned the reviewed draft to Gu Weijun, emphasizing: "The cabinet should not have any disputes over population policy.

Hesitate, even to complete this plan at all costs. Instead of colliding with public opinion and fighting with the opposition party on this issue, it is better to set up a special population policy committee, actively hold press conferences regularly, and conduct active communication with the media.

, guide the support of the media and public opinion, the imperial population should not be expanded without restrictions. As we emphasized by the theory of balance, the responsibility that the government should fulfill is very simple. When the national population birth rate is too high, the growth of birth must be curbed.

When the population birth rate is too low, it is necessary to stimulate birth growth. Only in this way can the country be guaranteed to have a long-term stability."

Gu Weijun nodded silently to agree, agreeing: "Your Majesty is wise."

Song Biao thought for a moment, put the half-smoked cigar next to him, and asked Gu Weijun: "Do you have any other questions?"

Gu Weijun thought for a while and said, "Does Your Majesty have any other considerations regarding the development of the automobile industry?"

Song Biao uttered and replied: "The automobile industry is of course a very important pillar of the national economy, but for the empire, we have a large population. If everyone has a car, almost all the national infrastructure of the empire will be facing reconstruction.

Necessity, in the long run, our demand for oil will also become a factor of national security risks. The empire has a vast territory and a large population, which determines that the empire should focus more on the development of railways, shipping, aviation, and electrified bus systems rather than

Of course, we still need to invest a lot of support for the automobile industry, but in terms of importance, we should focus more on the development of railways, subways and urban rail railways in the railway system. Objectively speaking, we

The nationals should also be encouraged to take more railways. The state will provide more subsidies to railway companies, reduce the expenses of citizens taking railways, provide more favorable conditions for railway construction, and support the development of urban rail and intercity rail transit. Metallurgy, machinery, and electricity.

Electronics and chemical industries are basic industries, which determine the overall level of imperial industries. For the automobile industry, we support it, and we also need to adopt certain restrictions. We can consider imposing fuel tax and use this part of the tax to maintain the construction of the imperial highway system.

”

Gu Weijun thought for a moment and felt that he might encounter greater national pressure on this issue because the people were eager to become the most powerful automobile power in the world. In fact, he also had such enthusiasm.

Of course, no matter how high his political prestige in the empire was, he did not challenge the emperor's authority.

Gu Weijun was very clear that he did not have the necessity of arguing with the emperor on this issue, nor did he have such a basis. He could only abide by the emperor's reply and replied: "The emperor is wise and has a very long-lasting thoughts, and it is not something that can be achieved by the ministers."

Song Biao didn't care about Gu Weijun's attitude. He continued to think for a moment and continued to propose with Gu Weijun: "I think it is appropriate to the government reduce investment in infrastructure construction, but this does not mean that the country needs to reduce this aspect.

Investment can be adopted to a certain extent policy preferentially to encourage commercial institutions to invest in roads, electricity and water conservancy systems. Some assets of the central government in China can be continuously sold at appropriate prices to ensure the stability of the government's finances and avoid government fiscal expenditures.

There are new expansion possibilities in the future. No matter what, the current international environment is still very complex."

Gu Weijun understands this reminder, which means that the Sino-Japanese War will not only continue, but the empire may also go to war with the Soviet Union. Judging from the current situation, Gu Weijun does support the empire to rob and take the opportunity to occupy the Kazakh region.

As the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Vice Chairman of the Central Defense Commission, Gu Weijun actually failed to penetrate into the core areas of the imperial affairs field. He did not know that the Empire's real possibility of sending troops to attack was Nazi Germany, even though he was very

It is clear that the countries that pose the greatest threat to the empire in the long run were the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

After a brief period of consideration, Gu Weijun suddenly mentioned a proposal that was not involved in the 75th Plan and asked Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, what do you think about the issue of prostitutes?"

"Oh, this question?"

Song Biao was a little surprised, but he had not seriously considered this issue.
