Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The civil strife in Russia ended. The self-saving government and the army established by the aristocrats and landlords did not last for more than two months before they collapsed under the swords, spears, and sticks of the Russian people and completely disappeared in the people's war.
Along with them, the aristocrats and landowners who had existed for hundreds of years disappeared. The old system was broken, and a brand new Russian Empire officially appeared in the world after Catherine's coronation.
Empress Catherine didn't go back on her word. Together with the acting prime minister, Oravec, she implemented the land reform policy and formulated new labor laws, commercial laws, tax laws, the imperial constitution, the civil code, and so on. They almost overthrew the original system of Russia.
The new government was indeed sincere in thinking for the people. This was something that every Russian could feel.
Half a month ago, the first general election ended. The Peasants and Farmers Party established by the acting Prime Minister Oravec was elected as the Prime Minister with 86% support. The Queen authorized the formation of a cabinet and became the first Prime Minister of the New Russian Empire.
What was most unbelievable to the other countries was that Qin Jun changed his nationality from German to Russian. He was also awarded by Empress Catherine and became a count without any special privileges.
The reason why they awarded the honor to Qin Jun was that the Qin Group had made a decisive contribution to the civil strife in Russia. They had provided the weapons, equipment, medicine, and food that the Russian army urgently needed in the form of an interest-free loan.
Also, the Qin Group had helped the new government and attracted the attack of the self-saving government, causing heavy losses!
In order to thank Qin Jun for his help, the Queen's Cabinet decided to give Qin Jun a medal after discussion. They also decided to give a portion of the factory assets confiscated from the noble landowners to the Qin Group as compensation.
This explanation was reasonable, and the Russians did not object!
Everyone knew that the Qin Group had contributed greatly to the civil strife.
Just by providing a large number of medicines, they had saved countless soldiers and farmers who had participated in the suppression of the rebellion.
What the world did not expect was that after Qin Jun obtained Russian citizenship, he actually announced that he would join the workers and peasants party and even became the minister of industry and commerce with a high support rate.
？？？
A Qing citizen becoming the Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Russian Empire? The world was in an uproar.
However, the Russians did not think much of it. After all, the Qin Group founded by Qin Jun had already penetrated into every aspect of the lives of the Russians.
The tap water…was provided by the Qin Corporation!
Electric…Qin Corporation!
The railway and highway…belonged to the Qin Group!
The post office and telephone station…belonged to the Qin Corporation!
After the Qin Group took over two-thirds of the factories of the aristocratic family, the number of employees in the Qin Group exceeded an astonishing four million!
Four million, what kind of concept was that?
Although Russia was a capitalist country, its industrial base was still far behind that of the beautiful countries of Great Britain, France, and Germany. With a population of 120 million, it could only provide about 20 million jobs.
Just the Qin Group alone provided four million jobs, and it was still increasing year by year.
Most importantly, in Russia, the Qin Group's employees should be treated the best.
So, why did the Russians object to Qin Jun, who proposed the new labor law and was also a practitioner, becoming the Minister of Industry and Commerce?
……
A cabinet meeting convened by the Empress was in progress in the Palace.
Qin Jun, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, attended the meeting and sat in the second seat below Catherine. The first seat was Prime Minister Oravec.
"Your Majesty, the global economic depression is getting more and more serious. This year, the country's jobless rate has reached a record high of 16%. About 17 million people are unemployed, and the volume of import and export trade has shrunk by half.”
"Great Britain isn't any better. There are seven to eight million unemployed people!”
"France is a little better, but there are still four million people who are unemployed, and their import and export trade has been cut in half!”
"Germany... Germany's economy was heavily dependent on the beautiful country after the end of the European War, so it suffered the most in this economic crisis. Industrial production fell by 40.6%, second only to the beautiful country's 46.2%. Agricultural production fell by 30%, more than 6 million workers lost their jobs, banks closed down, the economy collapsed, and social unrest. Many people starved to death on the streets of Berlin.”
" However, after Hindeburg passed away and Hilat came to power, he implemented a series of economic recovery plans. One of them was to build a large number of infrastructure and create jobs!”
" The same is true for the beautiful countries like Great Britain and France. They are almost copying the economic recovery policies of Russia…"
Replicate?
Qin Jun almost burst out laughing when he heard the finance minister's report.
Many of the economic recovery policies implemented by Russia were basically copied from the beautiful Germanic countries! Among them, the Germanic ones were the most.
Catherine nodded." Very good. It proves that our Russian policy to deal with the economic crisis is very successful."”
"What I want to know now is how to completely recover the economy. Does anyone have any suggestions?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and finally fixed their eyes on Qin Jun.
That was because no one present knew economics better than Qin Jun.
Orawec had privately revealed that the reason why the Queen had proposed to Queen Elizabeth to build infrastructure projects to create jobs and reduce the rate of joblessness was also a suggestion given by Qin Jun.
The facts proved that Qin Jun was right.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Jun, who had been acting as an invisible person, rubbed his nose.
" I think we should adopt a proactive financial policy. The main thing is to carry out the policy of inflation-raising, vigorously issue government bonds, and increase taxes.”
"In layman's terms, it's to print more money, issue more bonds, and collect more taxes to ensure that the country has money.”
"Some people will definitely ask, won't this cause the ruble to depreciate sharply in international trade?”
" Yes, that will happen. But what if we give up the gold standard monetary base, stop the freedom of foreign exchange, and try our best to conduct import and export trade through direct barter in international trade?”
"At the same time, the government should also place orders to expand the military industry's production capacity and provide more jobs.”
"We also need to invest more in infrastructure projects. Of course, this is the Qin Group's mission!”
