Chapter 313 Economic Depression

The lively Guangzhou City is now crowded with people. Even because of the impact of summer typhoons, the agricultural harvest in Guangdong and Guangxi has been steadily increasing compared with previous years.

The rural commercial cooperative production model initiated by the rural credit cooperative has greatly helped the local agricultural production recovery and development. Faced with different customer groups, the rural credit cooperative actually has different strategies.

When dealing with landlords with abundant land, they first completed new land statistics under the supervision of the government, but because they did not collect agricultural taxes, the landlords were not too resistant to this matter. For these customers, the rural credit cooperatives mainly provided technical guidance and the supply of fertilizers and feed.

At this point, because Hualian has the economic pillar of industry and commerce as the main body of society, there is no need to expand its financial resources by confiscating the land and property of the landlords.

As for the rich peasants with a small amount of land, Li Jiansan and Cheng Desheng also took care of them, provided many small agricultural plans, and protected these self-employed agricultural producers.

As for the proletarian agricultural population, there are generally two directions.

First, after agricultural production technology appraisal, a tenant will be become a tenant, and the rural credit cooperative will provide them with work related to agricultural production, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the tenant, and will not allow uncontrollable exploitation and oppression.

The second is to carry out industrial guidance and direct these extra population to the field of industry and commerce. Don’t underestimate it. This actually involves the national policy of the fundamental development concept of Hualian. For thousands of years, due to the shackles of technology and ideological fields, Chinese rulers have not been able to resolve the conflict between people and land well.

As a result, the conflict between population and land was sharp, and more and more people exceeded the carrying limit of land, and ultimately the demise of the empire.

Zhong Yang sat upright in a newly opened tea room, and the Western simple style gradually became popular here. In fact, it is better to say it is a commercial simple style with oriental colors, abandoning the complex parts of the traditional architectural field.

Rows of velvet sofas are neatly arranged in the tea room, and there are also meals for entertainment. When you have nothing to do, it is also a good place to relax. Today, Zhong Yang wants to see in person how this huge emerging regime created by himself is.

When I opened the newspapers from the Republic of China period, I found that the streets at this time were much richer and more lively than I thought, including those who sold martial arts, fortune tellers, plasterers, etc.

There were also many beggars begging along the street, but after guidance from the community service center and simple employment training, many such people were reduced. And the government also did not encourage such alms, as this was not to save people, but to harm people.

The government will naturally be responsible for the welfare situation of social citizens. If it is not done well, it will be a dereliction of duty. But if the people give beggars money out of their own goodwill, it will be instigating them to get something for nothing. The final result will only lead to a large number of such vicious begging, allowing the evil people to take advantage of the loopholes.

Wearing a light casual suit, Zhong Yang's image is indeed ordinary. Sitting here quietly is not eye-catching at all. Just like a low-key businessman, drinking delicious tea on a casual afternoon, reading newspapers gracefully, and spending time.

After systematic governance and continuous infrastructure construction, Guangzhou City is now showing its former spirit. At this time, every time you go out, you will always encounter martial artists and sell some plasters. However, there are many fortune tellers. In less than 50 meters, you can set up a stall to see the appearance.

Some people also go around the streets all day long, and ask passers-by to tell fortunes. And those plasterers can often only see them in the morning. At this time, there are many "little people" on the streets, but they are peaceful and their shouts are mixed, so you can imagine the noisy scene.

With the improvement of the economy and the usual politics, the atmosphere of the entire society is very active, and the residents' faces are mostly rich and peaceful smiles. Such a scene already has the atmosphere of prosperity, and it is not easy to do this in this chaotic era.

Most of the martial artists selling martial arts on the streets in Guangzhou look for an open space, or at the Pearl River Delta, or at the entrance of the park, erect a large flag with the names "Shaolin Martial Arts Museum" written on it, and clasped their fists to say a few words to the onlookers, "I'm not talented, I'm the first time I arrive in the precious land, please enjoy the face", and then began to dance with swords, guns, and fists. After a while of excitement, they sold the plasters of slaughter pills to the masses.

All the people who sell Chinese medicine are sold, but they can't kill people. The worst is diarrhea. However, due to the improvement of the economy, people are willing to pay some money for fun when dealing with these people who are performing arts in the world. Ordinary residents lack entertainment, and going to the street to watch juggle is already a good pastime.

As long as the city does not occupy the main roads, the police will not care about this. In fact, it is not easy to control. Most people are still poor and lack means to make a living. This economic phenomenon is still common at the grassroots level of society. At this time, it will be unkind to strictly rectify urban management.

However, it is okay to sell arts or set up street stalls, and it is not allowed to be begged in busy roads and blocks. Begging is absolutely prohibited. Once discovered, they will be forcibly sent to a welfare shelter. If it is fake, they will be sentenced to volunteer for social welfare institutions according to the severity of the circumstances.

It is not that easy to manage a city, let alone governing the entire region and even a huge empire. Zhong Yang was not interested in such a busy life, and he didn't want to die of overwork.

His biggest hobby is to stand at the top and adjust the progress of society from the overall situation. Moreover, he has always done a good job, step by step, and move forward steadily.

The afternoon sun is a little warm in the autumn breeze, without the violent summer.

The door of the tea room was opened, and two men in suits and ties came in. The pleasant wind chime sounded at this moment. The very clever design will trigger this simple device when opening the door, and will not make the guests feel abrupt and bored.

The waiter could also react immediately and warmly greet him: "Welcome to watch, do you have a reservation?". He has a beautiful face and a beautiful figure. This is a beautiful girl full of youthful atmosphere, which makes people feel comfortable to watch.

"Look for someone, position 21."

"Please here." The waiter was polite and had a friendly smile on his face. This was a kind of sincerity from the bottom of his heart and could infect people. No wonder this tea room has such a good reputation that many people in gold-collar workers like to come here to spend.

Under the guidance of the female waiter, Gu Yuejun and Zhou Hua found Zhong Yang. The three of them gathered together, drank warm and delicious tea, and talked about things.

Although it is a public place, the environment here is actually very quiet. There are screens between the seats, and the distance is between them. As long as it is not loud and noisy, people will not eavesdrop on it.

But even so, the three of them carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no idle people, they relaxed and started chatting.

There are two main topics, the collapse of the US stock market and the infiltration of information against Hongmen in China. However, compared with the global economic crisis, the intelligence war between Hongmen seems insignificant, and its victory or defeat is irrelevant.

Wall Street, which was crowded on Black Thursday, became the real beginning of this tragic era, and a violent turmoil began here.

On October 24, 1929, the United States ushered in its "Black Thursday" (the sudden plunge in the stock market on Wall Street in the United States). On this day, the American financial world collapsed, and stocks fell from the top to the abyss overnight. The price fell so quickly that even the automatic display of the stock market could not keep up.

On October 29, 1929, it was Tuesday, and the New York stock market plummeted to its extreme, so some people used "Black Tuesday" to refer to this incident. In just two weeks from October 29 to November 13, 1929, a total of $30 billion in wealth disappeared, equivalent to the total spending of the United States in World War I.

But the collapse of the U.S. stock market is just a crater of a severe economic crisis.

The 1920s were called the "new era" by the Western world, and wealth and opportunities seemed to open their stingy doors to the Americans who had just won the First World War.

Especially with the United States as the representative, the entire society is flocking to new technologies and new lifestyles, and "conspicuous consumption" has become the trend of the times. President Hoover also believes that "we are on the eve of the decisive eve of the war against poverty, and the slums will disappear from the United States."

The impact of the Great Depression is far-reaching than any economic recession in history. This economic depression is based on the decline in agricultural product prices - Green￣#Xiao￥Shuo￥&Net--.

This first happened at the price of wood in 1928, mainly due to competition in the Soviet Union. But the greater disaster came in 1929, with the overproduction of Canadian wheat and the United States forcibly suppressing the prices of basic grains from all agricultural products.

Whether in Europe, America or Australia, the agricultural recession worsened further due to the financial collapse, especially in the United States, when a speculative fever caused a large amount of funds to be pulled back from Europe, followed by a panicking Wall Street stock market plunge in October 1929.

This disaster broke the system of many Central and Eastern European countries, which led to the delay in repaying foreign debts in order to protect themselves, and thus endangered the British bankers who had a large investment in Germany.

Capital shortages have brought about sharp declines in exports and domestic consumption in all industrialized countries. Without a market, factories will inevitably close, and the less goods will be transported, which will inevitably harm the shipping and shipbuilding industries.

Among all countries, the consequence of the recession is large-scale unemployment. The United States is 13.7 million, Germany is 5.6 million, and Britain is 2.8 million. The Great Depression also had a significant impact on Latin America, causing the loss of foreign capital and commodity exports in a region that is almost completely dominated by European and American bankers and businessmen entrepreneurs.

The key is the collapse of stocks and the sharp contraction of wealth. The vast majority of the population in the entire Western society have become sheeps in this planned economic disaster.

"Yuejun, what's the income from our investment?" Zhong Yang asked calmly with a graceful picking up the tea cup and tasting the tea like a gentleman.

Gu Yuejun also understood this sentence: "According to Zhong Yang, you have all cashed out. Now the asset acquisition is underway. Here is a list, you can confirm it."

After receiving the report handed over by Gu Yuejun, Zhong Yang randomly looked it up. Although he came from another plane of similar dimensions, he was not familiar with companies with historical development potential. So he just pointed out the key technical fields and asked the foundation's professional managers to be responsible for the evaluation and acquisition.

Zhong Yang still accumulated objective wealth after the economic collapse, after the collapse of the stock market, some valuable industries have now become cheap. Faced with such a huge discount on clearance, how could the ancient Chinese miss it?

Originally, Gu Yuejun had a lot of complaints about Zhong Yang's decision, but he was shocked and sweated when he saw the stock market crash a week ago. If it weren't for the timely retreat, the stocks and bonds in his hand would probably be left with only a pile of meaningless waste paper.

Yao Liang is the main person in charge of the North American Donald Industrial Group. He and Donald witnessed this historic economic disaster and recorded many valuable first-hand information.

From a personal perspective, they saw an incredible social decline. At this time, a children's song was popular in New York: "Mellon rings the whistle, Hoover rings the bell. Wall Street sends a signal, and the United States rushes to hell."

With the collapse of the stock market, the US economy was immediately in a devastating disaster, and a terrible chain reaction soon occurred. Crazy bank runs, bank bankruptcy, factories closed, workers unemployed, poverty comes, organized resistance, and the brink of civil war.

Agricultural capitalists and large farmers destroyed large quantities of "surplus" products, used wheat and corn to fuel coal, and poured milk into the Mississippi River, turning the river into a "galaxy".

The homeless people in the city built simple shelter with wooden boards, old iron sheets, tart cloths and even kraft paper. The villages where these huts gather are called "Hoover Village".

The homeless beggar bags are called "Hoover bags", and the cars that are pulled by animal power are called "Hoover cars" because they are unable to buy fuel. Even the newspapers covered by homeless people sleeping on street benches are called "Hoover blankets". The apple vendors on the street have become one of the most well-known symbols during the Great Depression. Among those who were forced to make a living by operating mobile fruit stalls, many were successful businessmen and bankers.

According to the Foundation's calculations, it is expected that this great collapse in the stock market will lead to a four-year economic depression, making the United States a gray economic zone, and the economic crisis will soon spread from the United States to other industrial countries. For millions of people, life becomes a struggle for food, clothing and housing.

As experienced people, Zhong Yang saw further than Gu Yuejun and others, which was the depravity of the entire world. Countless fears and uneasiness will make the earth a powder barrel, tearing apart the original form of civilization in a devastating explosion.

In order to safeguard their own interests, countries will definitely strengthen measures and means of trade protection, which will further aggravate and worsen the world economic situation, which is an important source of the outbreak of World War II.

The Great Depression caused serious social problems, during which about 2 million to 4 million middle school students dropped out of school. Many people could not bear physical and psychological pain and committed suicide. Social security was getting worse, the most important reason was unemployment.

In the United States, the total number of unemployed people has reached 8.3 million. In cities in the United States, the poor are queuing up to receive relief food for several blocks. In the United Kingdom, 5 to 7 million people are unemployed and have to line up longer to wait in the labor trading market.

Those who have experienced the Great Depression will inevitably undergo drastic changes in their thinking. Workers and other proletarians will no longer have low salary distributions, wake up from the numbness of the 1920s, and launch a more powerful wave of strikes. The so-called democratic followers will also be attracted by the deformed prosperity of the Soviet Union and become the red-cultivated disciples of Mak's deathism.

Another group of conservatives will increasingly turn to a militarized economic model because of fear of the ever-increasing Bolshevikism and arm themselves with war.

The world will be divided into two complex political and military groups, wielding the sword in its hands against its former human compatriots because of disputes of economic interests and the original sin of the liberal market.

After talking about asset acquisition, Zhong Yang deliberately gave a low-key purpose for a while. He did not want to cause displeasure among the Jewish chaebols because of his extraordinary nature. These poisonous snakes hidden after the World Cup are a group of difficult guys. At least Gu Wen will have no spare time to take care of them now.

On the other hand, Zhong Yang also talked about the intelligence department with Zhou Hua. Because of the subdivision of powers and the organizational structure is becoming more and more formal, the Hualian government has already owned intelligence agencies, rather than letting the underground palace be fully represented as in the past.

However, the Underground Palace is still a powerful private armed organization and has received the acquiescence of the government. Or rather, it is not acquiescence, but has to accept that in many things, government departments also need a violent organization that has nothing to do with them to do some dirty work.

"Zhong Yang, in recent days, the disciples of the Hongmen who had lurked up have started to move frequently again." Zhou Hua said coldly. Now his cold breath has been restrained a lot, but the terrible power that penetrates his bone marrow still makes people feel shocked.

"I think they are harassed by their hometowns, and I think they are also desperate." Zhong Yang has always been very disdainful of these people. It lacks positive power and can only play some conspiracy paths, which is simply sad and ridiculous.

Thinking of many spy war TV series and movies in later generations, Zhong Yang sneered, a group of idiots who thought they would save the people of the world. He had never heard of a big victory with spies and agents. If he lost the front, then it would be meaningless to win any victory underground.

Due to the special forces' actions, some disciples of the Hongmen lurking in Guangdong began to be unable to sit still and became active, intending to interfere with the rear of the Chinese army. Or they were just eager to investigate the situation and wanted to find out the internal details of this special operations.
