Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 53 Economic Conference

The main leaders of Northwest First Army Corps, Northwest Second Army Corps (Northern Luzon Army Corps), South Jeloc Corps, and Tengri Corps also officially announced their appointments. Liang Chongxin, He Lianbo, Kang Jianguo, and Cui Wenxiu respectively Served as the commander of the four major armies, and made relatively large adjustments in the defense area. The main troops of the Northwest First Army were mobilized to the Bonan-Longdong-Tianshui line, including Yinchuan, Taixuan The northern defense area, including Mollington, was handed over to the newly established Nanjie Locke Corps, and the Second Guards Division was also assigned to this area to strengthen the defense of the north, especially the Kamans.

After Cui Wenxiu obtained Wufeng's approval, he set up the headquarters of the Tengger Army in Loulan City. The entire Western Regions, and She Nei also completed the clean-up mission in Xikang Mansion, leaving only the newly formed garrison unit mainly composed of local Gaoyue people to garrison Xikang Mansion City. According to regulations, each prefecture can only form one regiment of guard troops, but since most of the militia troops in Xikang Prefecture come from the Gaoyue people in the mountainous area, and they participated in the battle against the Lang family at night, and have certain combat experience, so As an exception, he agreed to form two garrison units, and Xikang Mansion no longer has regular army garrisons. The second division of the Tengger Legion in Shenei was ordered to move westward to the heartland of the Mott people - the spark collection on the shore of the Poyue Lake, and together with the Mott Autonomous Defense Army, they took on the defense responsibility of the Mott Dominion.

The largest adjustment should be the Northwest Second Army. Except for the Second Division led by Yan Tong who continued to garrison Shuangdui, the other four divisions, led by Army Chief He Lianbo, marched eastward and entered the Northwest. Qingyang, together with the First Guards Division in Qingyang, was stationed in the barracks outside Qingyang City. This is also the general reserve team that Wufeng is going to put into the Eastern Front. Once the situation in the Central Plains on the Eastern Front changes, the Northwest First Army will naturally be the vanguard and main force, and the four divisions of the Northwest Second Army and the First Guards Division The regiment will also be put into the battlefield as a follow-up force and a reserve force. These more than 200,000 troops are also Wufeng's biggest capital in fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains. With the backing of these ten divisions, Wufeng has the confidence to fight against any force. Just wait until the conditions are ripe.

At the end of April, the first financial and economic conference in the Northwest region was held in Qingyang, not only the six prefectures in the Northwest, but also the two prefectures of Northern Luzon, the Western Region Alliance, the Dominion of Mott, and the cities of Lulong, Xikang, and Longdong. The guards and officials in charge of the economy all attended the meeting. Xiao Tang, Su Qin, James, Yang Zhengbin, and Su Minshun all attended the meeting. The meeting was presided over by James, the new Northwest Finance Director. Consultations and discussions were conducted on many issues related to the economy, such as road traffic construction, farmland water conservancy facilities construction, etc. The problems existing in various regions were also analyzed and studied, and a package of solutions was proposed. For example, the issue of the internal goods circulation tax of the countries in the Western Region Alliance, the issue of the goods circulation tax issue between the South Jieluk area and the northwest regions, the issue of the Indian Kingdom and the Northwest tariff issue, the development of the border area between the southern part of Northern Luzon and the Grand Duchy of Luzon, A series of issues involving various aspects such as promoting and accelerating the development of the Green Sea Marsh area, increasing the development of the Hengduan Mountains, the development of gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, and coal mines, and the construction of the Northwest Highway Network, etc. It was brought up by many officials.

Financial issues were brought up as an important topic, and the role of the Northwest Bank was also concerned by many officials. He raised the hope that the financial market could be opened as soon as possible, especially the officials of the Western Regions Alliance headed by Saibo strongly urged the Northwest Administrative Bureau to open the financial market and introduce foreign financial departments to establish branches in the Western Regions to promote the economic development of the Western Regions as soon as possible. In order to recover, he even asked the Northwest Finance Bureau to independently provide interest-free loans to the alliance's infrastructure, so as to improve the conditions of the countries in the Western Regions, so as to relieve the pressure of ordinary people on the newly appointed alliance institutions. And Luman and Mu Haoran also jointly proposed the same request to re-issue the charter, agreeing to several other banks and money houses to enter the two provinces of Northern Luzon to meet the growing demand for funds for the development of the southern region.

James, Director of Finance, devoted half a day to give a special lecture on tariffs, finance and financial issues, and gave a lecture on the current tax system, financial revenue and expenditure items, the purpose and purpose of the establishment of the Northwest Bank by the chief administrators of various regions. The operation method was introduced. In response to the doubts of the Western Regions Alliance, James naturally couldn't say that it was for better control of the economies of the Western Regions. He could only follow the negotiated order to prevent possible financial risks and review the external financial sector. The opening of the financial markets of the countries of the Western Regions and the Dominion of Mott will be placed in the last batch, but at the latest no later than one and a half years after the establishment of the Bank of the Northwest in the countries of the Western Regions, and it is guaranteed that the Bank of the Northwest will give priority to satisfying the needs of the countries of the Western Regions. After receiving these replies, the Western Regions Alliance reluctantly accepted this statement. Afterwards, Sai Bo still found Xiao Tang and James and asked to shorten the opening hours of the Western Regions financial market. However, after Xiao Tang and James Patiently persuaded, and finally reached a consensus.

The issue of transportation construction has also been listed as an important issue, especially in the two provinces of Northern Luzon. The big business road from Bauhinia Pass to Qingyang, which runs from east to west, especially with the continuous development of the southern areas of the two prefectures, road traffic has become a bottleneck restricting the economic development of the two prefectures. The tobacco plantations in Shuangdui, southern Weito, The scale of coffee plantations and sugar cane plantations continued to expand, but the plantation owners and businessmen were deeply troubled by the poor road conditions, and they continued to make suggestions to the autonomous government in the name of the chamber of commerce of the two provinces, requesting repairs from Vito to the Grand Duchy of Luzon. Two roads from Manlong City and Shuangdui to Jaipurdu City of the Punjarians, and a new road from Shuangdui to Dapine Forest City in the Grand Duchy of Luzon to promote the economic take-off and market expansion in the south.

Especially after Luman, the city guard of Shuangdui, took advantage of the news that the Northwest had obtained a large amount of funds from the Punjabs, he not only took the opportunity to delay the mine auction money that should have been handed over to the Northwest Finance Bureau, but also continued to pass various This kind of method made a big article about the Green Sea Swamp, asking the Northwest Administrative Department to allocate funds to develop the surrounding areas of the Green Sea Swamp to strengthen border preparations, fulfill the promise made by Wufeng when he inspected the Green Sea Swamp, and preemptively carry out through the "Northern Luzon Express" Propaganda and incitement, praising the Northwest Military and Political Envoy and the Governor of Northern Luzon Li Wufeng, who cares about the border areas and pays attention to the development of the ethnic minorities in the Green Sea Swamp. Joining the Northwest Construction Bureau is a general task.

During this meeting, he repeated his old trick, bribed the editor-in-chief of "Northwest Star", and highly praised Jiedu Envoy on the front page of "Northwest Star" for attaching great importance to Northern Luzon and the countries of the Western Regions They are planning to build a road from Shuangdui to Wusun City, and generously expressed that the Shuangdui Autonomous Government is willing to bear the road construction funds in Shuangdui Prefecture, but this time Lu Man's good idea seems to be lifting a stone to smash On his own feet, Xiao Tang, on behalf of the Northwest Administrative Bureau, made it clear that the Northwest firmly supports the construction of the strategic road from Shuangdui to Wusun. Since the road from Shuangdui to the border of Wusun has been completed due to the development of the northern iron mines, he will The road from the border to Wusun City was funded by the Northwest Finance Bureau, but the Shuangdui Autonomous Government used the mine auction money that should have been turned over to the Northwest Administration Bureau to build this road, and made a mandatory completion time requirement~ IndoMTL.com~ This stuffy stick beat Lu Man almost insanely, stealing a chicken would cost him a lot of rice. In addition to repeatedly pestering Xiao Tang, Lu Man even did not hesitate to stay in Wufeng's mansion, demanding justice from Wufeng However, Wufeng happened to visit Tianshui, which made Lu Man feel depressed.

The two provinces of Northern Luzon also put forward a bill on tobacco monopoly. In view of the rapid expansion and increase of the scale and number of tobacco plantations in the southern part of the two provinces of Vito, the tobacco planting and processing industry has an important role in the economy of the two provinces of North Luzon. The status is becoming more and more important, having surpassed the traditional rice planting and wood processing industries, and coffee planting and processing, sugar cane planting and sugar production have become the three pillar industries with the most distinctive characteristics in Northern Luzon. In order to increase taxation and protect tobacco planting and processing The investment enthusiasm of large households, the Shuangdui Chamber of Commerce and the Vito Chamber of Commerce made this request to the North Luzon Governor's Office, but this proposal has sparked debate among the Northwest high-level.

The faction headed by James supports this motion, believing that the implementation of tobacco monopoly can not only stabilize fiscal revenue, but also effectively regulate the market, prevent excessive investment from pouring into this industry, cause overheating of the industry, and eventually lead to vicious competition in this industry. It is not conducive to the development of this industry; the faction headed by Yang Zhengbin resolutely opposes this motion, thinking that this motion is very unfavorable to the tobacco industry, which is still booming. The wasteland is not suitable for growing sugar cane and coffee because of water and heat conditions, but tobacco planting is a high-quality land. This bill will hinder the development of the tobacco industry and gradually form an industry monopoly, which is not conducive to the free development of the economy, especially in the Northwest. When the momentum of economic development is strong, this precedent will greatly dampen the investment enthusiasm of small and medium-sized businesses. The two sides have launched a heated debate on this, but it is difficult for anyone to convince the other.
