Chapter 244: 244 Economic recovery
Zhao Lingxin was determined to take advantage of the country during the war with the Demon Realm as much as possible. It has an important tool such as the War Economy Decree that fully empowers Zhao Lingxin, who alone rules the highest power of command right now.
The country has a population of over one hundred and fifty million people. The problems that the Empire had long solved, such as financial inequality, were even more widespread 10 times in four years during the Kai Yuan Era reign.
Compared to local people in the protectorate, people living in the central capital of the country have an inferior quality of life.
Lack of access to all amenities, ot to mention the average low salary of one yuan a month only.
During the time, the Empire was continually fighting against invading demons. Zhao Ling Xin summoned a person into the writing room.
"Your Majesty." This person is not far from anyone else. Major Fang Hanjing, former Minister of Internal Affairs, has been demoted to temporary service in the Secretariat. This was due to a mistake in the investigation and lack of security, allowing thousands of Martial Artists to settle in the Empire.
Now, the problem of Martial Artists has begun to dissolve. Since the beginning of the new year, the government has decided to tell the truth about many things about Martial Artists to change the mindset of the people. Therefore, Zhao Lingxin agreed to bring the punished Major Fang Hanjing to work again.
"I decided to give you one more chance to make things right," said Zhao Lingxin.
Major Fang Han Jing, who had listened to it, flashed in his eyes.
"Is it true, Your Majesty?" Major Fang Hanjing said in a trembling tone. In the past, he had to feel guilty and make up for it by coming to work that was not very good at the Secretariat. He always wanted to return to work as the Minister of Internal Affairs. Major Fang Han Jing were just a few people who were punished by Zhao Lingxin like this.
"Of course, this is true. I want the Ministry of Internal Affairs to accelerate with the Ministry of Industry. Establish an urgent policy under such war conditions." Zhao Lingxin was assigned Major Fang Hanjing.
Major Fang Hanjing's return will help the burden of General Guo Ling, who is now holding a position in the Security Council, so that he is unable to conduct thorough government supervision in an efficient way.
"Of course, I will hurry and settle all those matters. I'm ready to come back to work, Your Majesty," Major Fang Hanjing said with delight.
Zhao Lingxin, who had heard this, signed a document and handed it to Major Fang Hanjing.
"I, Emperor Zhao Lingxin. Countermanded the previous order. Returning the ruling power of Major Fang Hanjing to return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs position and this became effective from here on now .
"I will Your Majesty,My thanks for your kindness." Major Fang Hanjing received the charter papers from Zhao Lingxin and quickly walked out of the palace to do his own job.
With over one hundred and fifty million people, the distribution of wealth to such large numbers of people poses many challenges. Major Fang Hanjing specializes in internal affairs and decided to set up a centralized labor force once again.
"Announced, I want to recruit ten million construction workers." Major Fang Hanjing, who returned to work, quickly issued an order.
He wanted to recruit many workers for the government, a policy like before, but on a much larger scale.
Tens of millions of people have evacuated from the red zone to the safe zone. Entering a state of unemployment Although the government allocates supplies and everyone joins volunteers in the back of the military, these are not enough. It is highly urgent to find jobs for immigrants and people across the country.
Major Fang Hanjing brought back the National Strategic Plan and dusted it all over again. Firmly announced that this year the Ministry of Internal Affairs is ready to do what matters.
To build the confidence of civilians across the country, Major Fang Hanjing invites journalists from many offices. He opens a press conference to announce the public.
This is the first time that a minister will announce such an important matter to the public.
"Within a year, there will be over a million kilometers of roads across the country. Fifty thousand kilometers of railway line With over ten million people , they all will be employed, Major Fang Hanjing announced the government's mega-project.
In the past, the Empire had a total road of five hundred thousand kilometers across the country. Major Fang Hanjing wanted to double the distance of the road. Including a train route with a length of ten thousand kilometers He also wanted to increase five times to fifty thousand kilometers.
This is a massive project hiring over ten million people into the economy system. There is an imperial standard wage rate with benefits. In addition, the war economy decree is fully empowered. Help Major Fang Hanjing combine all resources into the cost of infrastructure construction.
If it were at regular intervals, these were absolutely impossible. The government does not want to gobble these megaprojects alone.
"Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allow the private sector to participate in these projects as well," Major Fang Hanjing's announcement has made a broader impact among businessmen.
Ever since the demonic waves hit the Empire's economy, it has been in severe stagnation. Not only that, everyone's factory All resources are drawn to the government. They had to produce weapons and supplies and deliver them to the military with the return of war bonds.
When calculating it, it found no loss. Still, it was not profitable either. The return on the production of war weapons for the country is so tiny that investors are not interested.
This time, according to Major Fang Han Jing's announcement, it may be able to help the economy turn around again. Because this time, the government did not intervene directly. It shows that various construction projects have opportunities for investors to generate profits.
Investors began to look for businesses that could generate new income. Unfortunately, the wartime economy was controlled entirely by Zhao Lingxin. Not leaving even a bit of a trading route.
A long-starved investor, when they saw the government deliver a big cake, quickly jumped at it to gain the profit that they would make in the future.
"I am starting to get interested in these projects." Businessmen gazed at the construction projects with saliva.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get caught in the construction business before," some have complained because running a construction business is very difficult, and there are many laws.
"Are you stupid? Why do we have to open our own business? Invest your money in a construction company on the stock market and let your money work for you." One investor's statement reminded everyone about market mechanisms.
During that time, many investors and businessmen quickly dumped their money on the stock exchange. As a result, the stock market that has been stagnating for a long time has increased as stimulants were injected.
The construction company received the most attention from this government policy. Investors all smiled at the number of companies soaring green on the stock board.
The announcement of construction projects throughout the country inevitably increases the price of construction materials. The Empire's economy started to become active again. It was a signal that Zhao Lingxin wanted to convey that the demonic crisis this time, the government could definitely cope with.
The people saw the ability of the government to prevent demons from invading the imperial territory. The confidence of everyone within the country began to return. The atmosphere in the capital was more refreshing than in the past New Years'.
"Cheers, drink it for our profits," many investors started to celebrate. From the fact that they did not profit from trading, months would be somewhat depressed. These government projects were available as an investment option during this period.
Capitalist parliamentarians have lost their jobs since Emergency Order 44 was enacted. The Imperial Parliament has been dissolved. Causing some capitalists to turn to do their best again, that is, doing business.
"How boring since the emperor seized our power," the capitalists who were former members of the parliament had gathered together. Vent their feelings over these months. When the council is not discussed, everyone has nothing to do.
"The emperor has gone insane," the capitalist said in displeasure.
"Don't you see how much His law makes us lose our income? Government war bonds can only be exchanged for a small amount." Capitalist parliamentarians have many of their own factories.
They have long been upset about the war economy decree. In addition, Zhao Lingxin also enacted law without parliamentary support. It is the intrusion of their power face to face. At least send them the law to support it as a ceremony is still good.
"That's right. I think he has done too much. Do you see how well the Imperial Army copes with the demons?" Everyone started gossiping about Zhao Lingxin with joy.
The capitalists did not understand how difficult the background of this war was. Without ammunition and continuous weapons from industrial basics, the Empire may have died by now.
The hundreds of capitalists who had gathered together continuously exchanged views, focusing on attacking Zhao Lingxin in particular.
While everyone was having fun chatting and frantic gossiping, someone reported them.
"His Majesty has commanded calling all members of Parliament to an urgent meeting at the Parliament building."
"Clank" some entrepreneurs even broke the glass on the floor. Their mouth and legs uncontrollable shaking.
