Chapter 630： Food import subsidies

Wu Changqing is not particularly concerned about the current pilot immigration.

Let’s try it out first.

The current development focus is not on immigration, but on accelerating the development of industrialization.

How to accelerate the development of industrialization?

The cabinet, Wu Changqing and several other bigwigs once again gathered together to study how to promote accelerated industrialization.

Although Wu Changqing rarely went to the early court, he actually held a lot of cabinet meetings.

In many cases, even if Wu Changqing has a good idea in his mind, he still needs to take a form and listen to the opinions of the audience.

Moreover, sometimes it can be rewarded.

"The biggest problem at present is the lack of workers. Moreover, this is still a relatively unsolvable problem, because too many farmers cannot be recruited to become workers, and there will be a shortage of food."

Qian Taoli said.

The people regard food as the heaven, and the country regards the people as the foundation. All dynasties and dynasties have attached great importance to the people.

If there are fewer people farming, there will be less food, and there will be no support for so many people, and the world will be in chaos.

All dynasties and dynasties have liked to emphasize agriculture and restrain commerce, and this also has a certain truth.

Compared with other dynasties, Dahua is already the dynasty that doesn't care about the number of peasants the least. A large number of people have transformed into workers.

Changing to another emperor, facing this situation, I am afraid that he has already panicked.

Once there is not enough food, that is the beginning of chaos in the world.

At the moment, Dahua's "agricultural conversion" is not bad. If there is more, there may be a situation where there is no land for farming.

"Why don't you go overseas to buy food if you don't have food, otherwise, what do you keep the money for?"

Hong Chengchou said.

"It's not easy to buy, and merchants may be reluctant to import food."

Ruan Dacheng said.

In the current ocean trade, food imports are relatively small, almost none. Because Dahua is not short of food now, the price of food is not high, and it is not worthwhile to import food.

The profit from the return of grain is far inferior to the return of other materials.

Although it is good for Dahua to ship more grains, capital is all profit-seeking and unprofitable things. How can those businessmen do it?

If the government is allowed to do it, the government does not have that much budget.

When it comes to money-related issues, everyone starts to have a headache.

In this world, everything is easy to do, but it is hard to do without money.

After all, everyone can think of tax increases.

After all, this is a common practice in all dynasties.

Wu Changqing doesn't like to add taxes to the people, so let's add more to the merchants.

The current business tax of Dahua is actually quite heavy, but businessmen can still earn a lot because of the high profits of business and trade. If you insist on adding a little more tax, those businessmen will be fine.

However, Wu Changqing was not satisfied with their approach.

He doesn't like to raise taxes rashly when he is not a last resort.

A tax increase is likely to have an impact on all walks of life.

Originally, an industry had only 10% profits, so it could only be managed.

The imperial court increased taxes, their profits fell by five percent, and they were about to go bankrupt.

From the perspective of encouraging industry and commerce, tax increases are not advisable.

"It seems that the government can only use a portion of the money to subsidize it."

Wu Changqing thought for a while and said.

This is something that countries in later generations often do. For a commodity that requires a large amount of reserves but is not cost-effective, only the government can provide subsidies to allow merchants to earn money.

One advantage of this is that the court doesn't need to spend too much money, mostly merchants pay, and the court only subsidizes a small portion.

As long as it has enough grain reserves, Dahua can turn more farmers into workers.

At the same time, we also have the confidence to let more workers learn professional and advanced production skills.

Only the number of skilled workers can increase the speed of industrialization.

Otherwise, capital alone will not work.

Such subsidies require continuous consumption of the court's money, but Wu Changqing is not worried at all.

As long as industrialization is accelerated and the production capacity of industrial products is increased, these are not problems.

When the production capacity of industrial products comes up, additional taxes can be added, and the money will come back.

Government subsidies have increased the enthusiasm of businessmen to import grain, increased grain, increased workers, increased industrial products, and increased taxes.

This is a perfect virtuous circle.

The end result is that everyone in Dahua can still eat, but industrial production capacity has increased, and the process of industrialization has also been improved.

Merchants dumped industrial products overseas and exchanged industrial products for food.

In a steel plant with a population of 1,000, the steel produced is shipped overseas and converted into grain, which can at least be exchanged for rations of 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people.

This is a very cost-effective trade, far more cost-effective than growing your own food.

Of course, this kind of trade will definitely harm the interests of overseas countries, bankrupt the handicraft industries in other places, and block the process of industrialization.

However, this is exactly what Wu Changqing wanted.

Of course, in other countries, there are certainly talents with more unique vision, who will find this kind of problem, and then it is possible to adopt policies such as prohibiting food exports.

By that time, Dahua's warships can play a role again.

Wu Changqing made a speech, and everyone thought about it and thought that this method was better than their own. Naturally, they passed quickly.

When it passed, you were somewhat regretful in your heart. After all, this method was invented by the emperor, and it has little to do with them.

There are too many such things, it seems that they are very useless, and the experience of being an official is extremely poor.

Many people are studying in secret, wanting to improve themselves.

But no matter how hard they tried, they found that they still often couldn't beat Wu Changqing.

The plan passed.

The next step is to study how to subsidize and how much to subsidize.

The amount of subsidy will not affect domestic food prices, but also allow businessmen to earn money and mobilize their enthusiasm.

This is a very detailed work.

At this time, other ministers were finally able to play their role, because Wu Changqing has never participated in this specific numerical setting.

In addition to promulgating the food import bill, Wu Changqing also asked the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Etiquette to cooperate to establish a professional and technical school for adults in society.

The general knowledge in the classroom is not taught, and it is specifically used to cultivate the vocational skills of ordinary people.

For example, car repair, machine tool processing, decoration and even chefs, etc., as long as it is an industry that requires skills, relevant training courses can be set up.

Although the later generations of New Oriental and Lan Xiang were often ridiculed by people, it has to be said that these two schools have cultivated a large number of people who can rely on technology to feed themselves.

Without this technology, those people may have to go to electronics factories to work as assemblers, and there is no future.

A technology may not make people rich, but it is enough to make one person better than many people.

The talents cultivated by these vocational schools are destined to be flawed, but Dahua does need them.
