The British vision threat cannot replace the Executive Committee's real desire for money. On December 4, the Executive Committee held a meeting to discuss and unanimously decided to invest additional investment in the machine textile factory and work hard. To this end, a group of craftsmen in the comprehensive workshop of the Dayuhe Arsenal took emergency action and took out the components that had been prepared long ago to assemble the machine.

At present, the two spinning machines and two looms in the Machine Textile Factory can weave 11-12 pieces of cloth every day when there is sufficient staff, timely supply of raw materials, and good equipment operation, and no failures. Unfortunately, people are currently running tightly. Most of the 100 people in the Machine Textile Factory are doing the original work of hand-crunk ginning, and a small part of them are maintenance equipment. The spinning and weaving workers, and the equipment fails from time to time, not only leads to an increase in the waste rate, but also delays production time. Therefore, the cloth produced by the Machine Textile Factory actually floats in the range of 280-320 pieces per month.

If it is just to meet the La Plata market, the existing two looms are already sufficient, but considering that the products will be introduced into other regions in the future, the demand may increase greatly, so the factory has added 6 spinning machines and 6 looms. In this way, the annual production capacity will be more than 14,000 horses. This is an amazing efficiency. You must know that at this time, the UK only exports more than 100,000 wool and a small amount of self-produced cotton cloth every year. The power of industrial production is fully demonstrated, and it is a complete exponentialist in all aspects.

Since there is no longer enough place to accommodate these huge machines in the Dongfanggang wall, the Executive Committee allocated an open area along the river outside the West Wall to the Machine Textile Factory, and used this condition to invest 20%. At the same time, walls have begun to be built on both sides of the factory, and police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are on duty 24 hours a day to ensure that no one can see these technical secrets.

On December 15, after the new equipment was installed, a total of 8 textile machines and 8 looms were tested using pre-prepared raw materials. As a result, the trial run was successful and weaving began on the same day.

The coal mine was successfully put into production, the textile mill's profit prospects were promising, the construction of new towns and the near completion of Highway 1, these exciting events formed the main line of December. In addition to these, the most eye-catching thing in December is the establishment of the latest government agency.

The plan for the new government agencies was voted and approved by the National People's Congress as early as August. The supreme authority of the East Coast Republic of China is still the National People's Congress, with the Central Executive Committee as its executive body. The specific administrative agencies under the leadership of the Executive Committee include the Government Affairs Council, the Joint Staff Headquarters, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Procuratorate.

The Government Council implements the Premier's responsibility system, with ten departments under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Materials, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education; the Joint Staff Headquarters are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Army, the Ministry of Navy and the Military Court; the Supreme Court is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Honor (the identity of the National People's Congress representative and the shares of the East Coast Company can be deprived of); the Supreme Procuratorate is under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Commission, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Intelligence Administration.

The functions of each department can be seen from the name. In fact, many of the positions have basically been selected, such as the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Navy, Peng Zhicheng and Wang Qinian will basically continue to serve as ministers, but the position of Chief of Staff of the National Armed Forces, the position of Chief of Staff of the National Armed Forces, is probably a battle between the two. If nothing unexpected happens, Bai Siwen will continue to serve as the President of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice. This guy worked very hard to promote the founding of the country some time ago, so he has gained a lot of prestige. This time, the position of President of the Supreme Court cannot be considered as a loss. As for the positions of President of the Supreme Procuratorate and Minister of the Internal Affairs, Jiao Tang is currently the most popular. He has already confirmed the candidates for ministers, and is waiting for the Supreme People's Congress to vote.

In addition to these unsurprising positions, there are still some positions that will face fierce competition. Some travelers who are interested in this are ready to fight one or two months in advance, preparing to fight fiercely at the People's Congress.

On December 20, the First National People's Congress after the founding of the East Coast Republic of China was officially held. 565 National People's Congress deputies attended the event, and the meeting opened with the national anthem "Singing the Motherland" played by the Army Drum Band.

Liu Weimin, director of the People's Congress, did not talk much, and went directly to the topic. The first is the election of the executive committee members. There is nothing to say about this. There are 11 members in total. Liu Weimin announced that as of today, he has received a total of 15 applications for registration and then handed over to the conference for voting.

To be honest, the previous members of the Executive Committee did a good job. Whether it was developing industry, marching and fighting, or trade and diplomacy, they were all pretty well-behaved. Therefore, there was no suspense in the election of the Executive Committee members. The original team continued to stay in office, and the four time travelers who bravely stood up to compete could only return in a temporary defeat.

Since industrial construction is the main theme in the future, at the suggestion of Ma Qianzu, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Ma Vest was elected Premier of the State Council with a high vote and was responsible for daily construction. At the same time, he still retained the important position of Minister of Industry and Commerce. The position of Chief of Staff of the National Armed Forces launched a fierce competition between Peng Zhicheng and Wang Qinian. Since the performance of the army was more intuitive in the war a while ago, most NPC deputies voted for Peng Zhicheng, which made him win over Wang Qinian as he wished. Of course, they also served as Minister of the Army and Minister of the Navy.

The elections of some functional departments followed were calm, as mentioned above. The Minister of Civil Affairs was appointed by Xiao Mingli, the Minister of Finance was appointed by Tang Yuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was appointed by Gao Mo, the Deputy Minister of Trade, Xu Xin, the Deputy Minister of Trade, and he was also under the jurisdiction of Gao Mo. The Minister of Materials was appointed by Shao Shude, the Minister of Transportation was appointed by Xiao Bailang, and Xiao Bailang was nominated as Vice Premier for his achievements some time ago. The Minister of Agriculture was appointed by Jin Kela, the Minister of Education was appointed by Du Wen, the Minister of Health was appointed by Mo Xiaoxi, and she also accepted Du Wen's jurisdiction.

The term of office of all the above positions starts from January 1, 1634 to December 31, 1638. After the election of these positions was completed, Liu Weimin announced an hour of recess. Taking this opportunity, Minister of Finance Tang Yuan communicated with the members with the next year's fiscal budget table, and then turned it out after confirming that there was no problem.

After the meeting restarted, Minister of Finance Tang Yuan introduced the 1634 fiscal budget report to the delegates. In this fiscal budget report with a total of 500,000 yuan, the highest share was immigration expenses, which were 250,000 yuan, accounting for 50%; followed by material procurement expenses of 75,000 yuan, accounting for 15%; repayment of 50,000 yuan in installments of the East Coast Company, accounting for 10%; special expenditure on naval shipbuilding is 50,000 yuan, accounting for 10%; military expenses are 30,000 yuan, accounting for 6%; personnel salary and office expenses are 30,000 yuan, accounting for 6%; industrial investment and construction expenses are 15,000 yuan, accounting for 3%.

At the same time, Tangyuan gave a report on the estimated fiscal revenue for 1634, totaling less than 400,000 yuan. Among them, industrial and commercial taxes and dividends were 160,000 yuan; coin income was 40,000 yuan; various trade income was 20,000 tonnes of various grain crops were 140,000 yuan; various capita taxes, consumption taxes and customs duties were 10,000 yuan; farmland transfer fee was 20,000 yuan.

Such dazzling data caused an uproar in the entire venue as soon as it was released. There was a huge deficit of 100,000 yuan between fiscal revenue and expenditure. This deficit was even enough to build a brand new "August 10" class battleship. The deputies of the National People's Congress were immediately calm and asked the Minister of Finance Tang Yuan how to fill the deficit.

In this regard, Tangyuan has to say that this is just a rough fiscal budget report. Since the specific income and expenditure are not referenced in previous years, it is impossible to calculate in detail, so it can only be gradually improved in the next period of time.

"Fill it according to the budget of 500,000 yuan. If you don't have enough money, you will find a way to do it. If it really doesn't work, you can just borrow a small amount of money to turn around." Tangyuan explained so.

However, the following NPC deputies who are rare throughout the year are obviously not satisfied. They snatched every detail in fiscal expenditure and questioned it repeatedly, making the dumplings look as big as a fight.

"Immigration costs account for half of the fiscal expenditure. Grandma, it's so fucking expensive. A Ming Dynasty refugee is 400 yuan, which is worth 40 cows. Oh, I really don't know if it's worth it."

"What? It costs nearly 50,000 yuan to buy beef every year? You have to eat 400 cows in a month, 4,000 yuan! Eat 48,000 yuan a year! No, no! It's too extravagant! Cut it off!"

"It's not okay to cut it all off. I'm not happy with no meat. This way, cut it off half of it! Buy 200 heads a month to eat it, and it will only cost 24,000 yuan a year."

"This...is to buy sheep? Oh, it's the textile industry, well, I should buy it."

"This... it costs 50,000 yuan to build a warship? It's not necessary. Can the project be discontinued? What? More than 10,000 yuan has been invested in advance? Then forget it, when I didn't say it, then continue to build it."

Everyone said and said everything, and sprayed the dumplings with glutinous rice balls in a decent manner. In the end, the dumplings revised the financial expenditure report on site and reduced the material procurement fee to 50,000 yuan. At the same time, a group of travelers who were both representatives of the National People's Congress and shareholders of the East Coast Company also "generously" said that the government's debts owed to the East Coast Company could be repaid on a delay. If some people had not opposed it, some people who had no idea would almost say that they would exempt the debt. As a result, the fiscal expenditure in 1634 dropped to 425,000 yuan, which was not so ugly.
Chapter completed!
