"No more... Zhang Zizhong said.

"Just you can understand." Xia Jun nodded and smiled: "The Beiyang government does not need to pay much attention to. We should focus on Japan. In the near future, we will inevitably have a war with Japan, and you have to work hard!"

"Son"

After talking to Zhang Zizhong, Xia Jun received a call.

It was You Zhengbin who called, and he heard him on the phone, "The chairman is not good, there is a flood in the southern part of Xijiang."

"It's flooding! What's going on? Didn't you let the flood control dam be built?" Xia Jun was shocked. Why did he invest so much money in water conservancy and still flood?

"It has been repaired, but it has been raining heavily in the southern part of Xijiang for four days. The villages along the river are flooded three feet deep. If it is not repaired, the water will be deeper." You Zhengbin said.

"Let the Wulong police force go and evacuate the people immediately, and urgently dispatch disaster relief supplies." Xia Jun quickly ordered.

"I'll do it right now." You Zhengbin responded and hung up the phone.

The heavy rainstorm in southern Xijiang lasted for nearly six days, and it was also because of the previous water conservancy construction that greatly alleviated the disaster. It was not until four days later that the flood rose.

As soon as the flood occurred, the flood had not spread due to timely reporting. The East China Autonomous Government immediately dispatched the Wulong police force to evacuate the people. On July 19, all the people in the affected areas were transferred and a large amount of property was rescued. At the same time, the disaster relief materials dispatched by the autonomous government arrived later, solving the living problems for the affected people.

The flood began to spread after the crowd was transferred. The nearby Fifth Production Corps rushed to the township and launched a flood control and disaster relief operation with the local military police.

After the heavy rain fell for six days, I finally stayed.

This flood is commonly known as the "Renzi Year of the River" in Xinan.

This flood was repaired in advance, so the impact was not large, and the economic losses were also experienced by the flood due to disaster relief. Xia Jun once again allocated 10,000 yuan from the finance department to the Ministry of Water Resources to strengthen flood control projects.

In August, the trade gap between China and the United States has expanded again, and the trade gap has risen to three or five million US dollars.

The US government began to realize that the zero-tariff policy with the three East China Autonomous Provinces was wrong, but they still blamed the tolls collected by the three East China Autonomous Provinces.

The US government believes that the fundamental purpose of the zero-tariff policy with the three East China Autonomous Provinces is to the entire Chinese market. When the East China Autonomous Government collects tolls, it limits the United States to the three East China Autonomous Provinces.

For this reason, the US Embassy in Hangzhou protested to the East China Autonomous Government, demanding that the three East China Autonomous Provinces stop collecting tolls, otherwise the zero-tariff policy will be difficult to renew.

In order to respond to the American protests, Xia Jun solicited opinions from many parties.

It is internally believed that lifting the collection of tolls will allow American goods to enter China's provinces, but as long as it is strong for a period of time, the profits of the three autonomous provinces in East China will be greater.

All manufacturers also believe that they can afford to stop collecting tolls, and the US market has become an important market for these manufacturers at this time.

As long as there are some industries in the three autonomous provinces of East China, they will enter a period of explosion. For example, weaving industry. As long as the cotton is harvested in autumn, weaving industry can defeat any country's weaving industry with an advantageous price. The United States and the three autonomous provinces of East China will implement zero tariff policies, and then China's weaving products will be able to move forward.

In addition to cotton, Xia Jun's breeding industry is also expanding rapidly, which can continuously impact the United States.

So Xia Jun informed the US government that he was willing to cancel the collection of tolls.

A policy that was difficult to win was temporarily allowed to win because Xia Jun's concession was temporarily allowed to win. The US government achieved its goal and was a little complacent.

Although there is a trade gap in their trade with the three East China Autonomous Provinces, if the huge Chinese market is opened, the trade gap between the United States and the East China Autonomous Government will be reversed.

This is really naive. The US government is destined to do a loss-making business.

Mobil is the big winner in this zero-tax policy. Their kerosene is sold well in all the three autonomous provinces of East China. When the three autonomous provinces of East China canceled the toll, Mobil's profits began to rise sharply.

Mobil's kerosene itself occupies the main market in China. At this time, the tariffs are gone, and the profits will naturally increase.

However, the good times did not last long. East China Petroleum began to sell large quantities of kerosene in mid-August, as well as gasoline, diesel, and various plastics and asphalt.

The price of kerosene from East China Petroleum Company is lower than that of kerosene sold by Mobil Company. At the same time, because it is national capital, it quickly occupied the market in the three autonomous provinces of East China.

The market share of the three East China Autonomous Provinces is not too large, at least not as large as before. Many places in the three East China Autonomous Provinces have lit electric lights, and kerosene cannot be used at all. The main market of kerosene is still in other provinces in China, as well as other countries that do not produce oil and do not have electric lights.

Mobil responded quickly to the sudden emergence of competitors and also lowered oil prices, competing equally with East China Petroleum Corporation.

At such a price, Mobil has no profit.

However, East China Petroleum Corporation has a high level of 的合彩, because they exploit the world's largest oil field and the cost of 的 is very low.

Moreover, the transportation cost is also very low because it is light oil. Moreover, because it is light oil, the oil refining is low.

What's more, the oil extraction site is in Rashid Arabia, and there is no export tax on transporting the oil out, while Mobil's oil must be paid when transporting it out of the United States.

At the same price, the kerosene sold by East China Petroleum Company still has a profit of about macadamia. At the same time, East China Petroleum Company has obtained a large number of by-products due to oil refining, which immediately led to the birth of various products.

Recording magnetic zy Wangye provides a large number of products such as tape, laundry detergent, soap, toothpaste, plastic, asphalt and other products... making East China Petroleum Company profitable.

East China Petroleum started selling kerosene to other countries and soon started a comprehensive battle with Mobil.

The Baku Kerosene Manufacturers Alliance has also been impacted in the international market. In order to maintain their respective markets, both Mobil and Baku Kerosene Manufacturers Alliance are reducing prices.

The competition between the three parties is still not high or low, but the competitive advantages of East China Petroleum Corporation are unsuccessful and still make profits in price competition. However, Mobil and the Baku kerosene plant owner alliance are losing money in kerosene.

The third enrollment of East China Military University has reached its end. This year, nearly 500 students have been recruited to the school, and 500 low-level officers have been selected from the army to study.

The training of the third class of students has also begun. For this reason, Xia Jun began to frequently go to and from East China Military University, and went to teach students every now and then.

From January to August, Xia Jun finally had points in his hand..." The number reached 300 million points, which was not enough, and he had overdrawn more than 10,000 yuan.

This is mainly due to the imitation of the t34 Tank, but the current Tank Manufacturer obviously did not create the t34 because the engine technology still does not meet the requirements.

However, many of the designs on the t34 Tank were absorbed by Tank Manufacturing.

After getting these points, Xia Jun did not continue to squander, but continued to accumulate points. He has confirmed the next technology to buy, that is engine technology.

To build better Tanks, aircraft and warships, you must have advanced engine technology.

The Yangtze River Surveyor, or the Yangtze River Governor, was seated by Xia Jun. Xia Jun formed the water police inspector of the five provinces of the Yangtze River two months ago.

The five provinces of the Yangtze River are Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Hunan. This is the most densely populated area and the largest market in China.

The Yangtze River Water Police, established by the East China Autonomous Government, took office, was to crack down on the Yangtze River bandits. At the same time, two 800-ton destroyers in Mawei were officially launched and were immediately dispatched to the Yangtze River to perform missions. These two destroyers were named "Zhendong Class Destroyers..." These two destroyers were numbered 01.02.

There are eight Zhendong ships in Mawei Shipyard, and the type destroyer is under construction, and an 8,000-ton cruiser is under construction.

The East China Navy appeared on the Yangtze River waterway, which brought great shock to other provinces.

It has three provinces with heavy troops, plus the position of governor of the Yangtze River, which has surpassed the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan and Hubei for a time.

Xia Jun not only sent the warships to the Yangtze River waterway, but also sent the Independent Corps to these provinces to suppress bandits. The Independent Corps' strong combat capabilities made the governors not dare to do anything.

Now even if the East China Autonomous Government farts, it can still shock these four provinces.

Needless to say, Jiangsu and Anhui are the territory of the revolutionaries, and Jiangsu Cheng Quande is the most obedient. Li Yuanhong from Hubei and Tan Yanrun from Hunan dare not provoke the East China Autonomous Government.

The jurisdiction of the five provinces' water police has allowed the goods from the three autonomous provinces of East China to successfully enter the Yangtze River waterway. The East China offshore transportation company has gained a competitive advantage over Swire and Jardine Mahjong in the fierce competition for several months.

Although the price cuts have made the East China offshore transportation company profitable, after the sales of goods from the three East China Autonomous provinces in the Yangtze River Basin expanded, industrialists from the three East China Autonomous provinces all joined the East China offshore transportation company to export goods to the Yangtze River Basin at a transportation price that does not cut prices.

Because the sales of foreign goods in the Yangtze River Basin are getting smaller and smaller, most of the goods they receive are from the three autonomous provinces of East China.

At the same time, because the industrialists of the three East China Autonomous Provinces are supported by the East China offshore transportation companies, the price cuts are still supported in the competition for price cuts, so the price cuts are reduced to 50 cents per ton.

Those goods that did not gain obvious competitive advantages in the three East China Autonomous Provinces specifically look for Swire Foreign Company. Jardinet Foreign Company's transportation cost of 500 cents per ton made them lose a lot.

Swire and Jardine Co., Ltd. could not hold on anymore and wanted to sign an agreement with the East China near-shore transportation company to restore normal transportation prices.

However, the East China offshore Transportation Company rejected this proposal and instead proposed acquisition conditions to Swire and Jardine Mathematics.

Only then did Swire Foreign Company and Jardine Co., Ltd. realize that the Chinese wanted to kill their transportation industry and then annex them.

This caused the resistance of Pacific Foreign Company to negotiate peace with foreign companies, but their resistance was pale. East China offshore companies are not afraid of price cuts at all, but they are afraid of price cuts.

However, the East China offshore transportation company has not generated profits for a long time, which has attracted Xia Jun to call and ask what happened to Zheng Guanying.

Zheng Guanying replied: "The Chairman let S. S., and S.A. and Jardine Mahjong will not last long. We can endure them in at most three months."

"In addition, as long as we annex the peacekeeping and peacekeeping foreign companies in Swire, our East China offshore transportation company will dominate the Yangtze River waterway. At that time, we can treat the goods transported at different prices. For example, if foreigners want to transport cotton, we charge them a ton of ten yuan for freight for our own cotton. Foreigners have no ships and can only appoint them. When they transfer the ship, we can continue to lower the price and squeeze them out." Zheng Guanying said to Xia Jun excitedly.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, you have the full responsibility for your decision." Xia Jun felt relieved after hearing Zheng Guanying's tricks. It doesn't matter whether the East China offshore transportation company makes money or not. If it can use shipping to squeeze out foreign goods, it is the best thing, but it is much more important than the profit of the East China offshore company.

Conserving the local market is one of Xia Jun’s economic strategies.

Since the East China Central Bank issued the 100 million banknotes, it is surprising that it did not cause inflation because the market is full of goods.

Furthermore, due to the trade difference with the United States, East China Bank has already exchanged 30,000 US dollars of silver from Bank of America through foreign exchange, and has also earned nearly 100 million yuan of silver from the profits of the international market.

The silver in this year can be exchanged. Although these silvers have long issued Fuxing coins, the bank reserves are relatively sufficient, and the imported goods have not exceeded the export goods, and the silver has not flowed out.

In terms of farm products, the output this year is very large, so no one can buy farm products and the price of farm products does not rise, which means that the prices of other commodities will not rise.

This makes Xia Jun feel much more relieved.

The crops in the second season have already been sown, and Xia Jun is now waiting for the big harvest of autumn harvest.

This year, the cotton planting area has reached 8.5 million mu, of which 10,000 mu are in Jiangsu, and the other 8.5 million mu are within the three East China Autonomous Provinces.

In addition, the soybean production this year is relatively high, with 10 million mu of about 1.8 million tons of soybeans produced. Many of these soybeans have been sent to press oil, and soybeans have also been sown in the second season (I wrote it wrong before, soybeans are produced in autumn in the Jiangnan region, and they can be ripened twice, and Yunnan, Guangdong and other regions can be ripened more).

After the two feeds of soybean cakes and corn cakes were in place, the breeding industry began to expand the development of chicken raising and pig farming. As long as the eggs were cultivated, a sow can give birth to more than a dozen piglets, and its breeding ability was also very strong. The production of canned pork and canned chicken has increased significantly.

At this time, the agricultural output value of the three East China Autonomous Provinces has become very high, as far as farmers' living standards are concerned, they have surpassed Japan.

Japanese farmers live a hard life at this time. In addition to working hard in the fields during busy farming, they also have to work in the city during slack farming, but their income is still very tight throughout the year.

The three provinces in East China are different. Once the summer harvest arrives, farmers' lives have been initially improved and they have some extra money in their hands. At least they are not a problem to eat a full meal.

If the three East China Autonomous Prefectures learn from Japan's registration system, the finances will be very rich, especially after reducing the investment in education and medical care.

In terms of industry, the industrial output value of the three autonomous provinces in East China can be said to have been rising rapidly, and both light and heavy industries have developed.

This is also the main reason why Xia Jun issued banknotes but did not cause inflation. However, Xia Jun, who had just issued 100 million yuan of banknotes, did not dare to issue more banknotes. Instead, he collected more gold and silver from outside and sent out as much banknotes.
