"It's actually nothing new, it's nothing more than stabilizing finance, controlling imports, encouraging exports, increasing investment, and driving employment."

Li Weimin drank a small sip and patiently explained: "I won't say much about the importance of stabilizing finance. The government must have a plan to control currency depreciation. Controlling imports is to save foreign exchange, and to use the US dollar, franc and pound on the machinery and equipment that are more needed for imports, and to protect domestic enterprises; encouraging exports can not only increase foreign exchange, but also drive employment and promote the economy.

The importance of increasing investment is self-evident, and it can also play a role in labor-for-relief. If the action is fast and the intensity is strong enough, it may greatly alleviate the pressure of resettlement of refugees.

Specifically, how to implement it, import control is mainly reflected in customs. A strong anti-smuggling force should be formed to crack down on smuggling. At the same time, import and export trade policies should be formulated, high tariffs should be imposed on some luxury goods, and export goods such as rubber, minerals, and wood should be strictly supervised."

Chen Lichun was confused and asked in confusion: "Isn't it encouragement of exports? Why should we strictly supervise?"

When I was in Paris, I discussed the economy a lot. Ng Diem explained with a smile: "My brother and sister, this is not inconsistent with encouraging exports. It is not that people do not allow these goods to be exported, but that they do not want to export raw materials. If these resources can be processed into semi-finished products or products, it can drive employment and increase government taxes."

Wu Ting-jeong reacted and nodded repeatedly, "What the people say is very good. How much does a kilogram of natural rubber cost? If it is processed into rubber products, the profit will be several times or even dozens of times the raw materials directly exported. Why are the French unwilling to leave? They just want to plunder our resources and dump their products at the same time, and drive the French to find employment."

All the Wu brothers have received higher education and can be understood at one point.

Wu Tingjin learned from it and said: "The implementation of new import and export policies can guide and even force importers to invest in industries. Controlling imports, encouraging exports, increasing investment, and driving employment are actually complementary. The key is to be effective and controllable."

You have to eat rice one by one, and you have to do things one by one.

Wu Tinglian is not only negotiating with the Vietnam League, but also negotiating with France. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to sign a "independence and cooperation" treaty with France in at most half a month, and then the new government will have real autonomy.

First train cadres, and only after they have cadres can they take over the customs and form a strong anti-smuggling force.

Ng Diem pondered for a moment, picked up the napkin and said, "Compared to formulating and implementing new economic policies, increasing investment is the top priority. If there is no investment and not so many factories, it will only backfire. For the people, it depends on you next. Only you can guide overseas Chinese to invest their funds in the industrial village plan."

The Industrial Village Project has reached a consensus with him and Professor Fisher and others that there is no need to do any more work.

Li Weimin nodded slightly and said with a worried look: "Mr. Yan, I have been preparing for this after I came back, such as mobilizing overseas Chinese on the embankment to acquire the French factory in the north, and trying every means to force the French to allow more than 100 factories to move south. During this process, the Nong army provided great help. It can be said that without them, the dismantling operation could not be carried out at all."

The ongoing factory migration operation is a masterpiece. While weakening the future industrial development potential of Vietnam, it has attracted a large number of enterprises to the subsequent industrial village plans.

Lansdale was very surprised at the time, and Diem was even more surprised. He couldn't believe that he did it silently.

The Nong army will have to be rewarded if they help. How could Ng Dingm not hear what he meant? He asked quietly: "Does General Huang have any ideas?"

"Mr. Yan, General Huang is not ignorant of the situation in the south. He believes that the southern army is not short but too many. In addition, Nong District is surrounded by enemies and has been fighting for many years. Nong people's children suffer heavy casualties. He wants to help us dismantle and transport all factories and return to the fields. He begs the government to allow the people of Nong District to come to the south to have a few days of safe life."

The Nong people are different from the overseas Chinese on the embankment. They are all naturalized and are all Vietnamese.

Their request to retreat to the south is not an exaggeration. After all, they are mortal enemies with the Vietnam League, and staying there will only lead to a death sentence, not to mention that they have already submitted a letter of resignation.

Diem Ng weighed it and asked again: "How many Nong troops are there now?"

"There are only more than 5,000 troops in two divisions, and most of them are recruits. They are not equipped and have no combat power."

"Where is morale?"

"Everyone dies every day, no hope, and is betrayed by the French again, and has no morale."

The Vietnamese army had no morale, let alone their miscellaneous troops, Ng Diem was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, he agreed conditionally: "For the people, you can tell General Huang that there is no problem in terms of withdrawal from the people of Nong District to the south. The government will try every means to provide some land. But in terms of transportation and resettlement, the government is really powerless. They need to find ways to overcome difficulties by themselves."

He didn't even know how to transport and place the Northern Catholics, and it was expected that he could not help the Nong people.

Li Weimin didn't have much hope for him. He only needed land and his acquiescence. He said as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Yan, I think General Huang should be able to understand the difficulties of the government. Take one step at a time. There is always a way out."

Compared to the troubles in front of you, Nongren is nothing.

If they can retreat to the south, let them evacuate, give them a place to rest and give them a way to live. They will inevitably thank the government and will inevitably become the ruling foundation of the new government.

Ng Diem immediately returned to the original topic and asked with anticipation: "For the people, we will get back to the point and continue to talk about the industrial village plan."

"Yes, I almost forgot."

Lee Weimin smiled awkwardly and continued: "Construction requires a relatively stable environment, and we must consider priorities. I plan to develop five industrial villages, including Da Nang, Vung Tau, Boliao, Di Shi and Phu Quoc Island. This will not only avoid those warlords, but also relieve the pressure of resettlement of refugees. Otherwise, when everything is on track and then gets on the horse, I don't know when it will be."

Wu Ting-hwa couldn't help asking: "Dan Nang, Vung Tau, Boliao is not bad, are Di Shi and Phu Quoc Island a bit far away?"

"Mr. Huang Yasheng said that the southern army is not short but too many. Isn't the population of Saigon? I think economic development must be balanced and no longer polarized like now. Poor families are barely walled and rich people are rich. In addition, the focus on developing Di Shi and Phu Quoc Island can not only divert the population, but also avoid the harassment of the Viet Union. As long as we can persist for three years, we can have our own pillar industries such as steel, chemicals and cement."

Li Weimin paused and continued: "Industry is not agriculture. Factory is different from rural areas, especially large factories. At that time, we will have tens of thousands of workers, which are much easier to manage than a loose countryside. If Mr. Wang can guide him and send experienced officers to use his spare time to conduct military training, they will inevitably become the most powerful supporters of the government and become a quasi-military force that the government has secretly developed."

An industrial village is a military camp. We can conduct political education and military training quietly. After three years, we can indeed train a group of troops loyal to the government.

The more Wu Tingying thought about it, the more reasonable it made, and he slapped the table and said, "This idea is good. You can use several industrial villages as bases to plan, build, and develop, without consuming much government funds."

Overseas Chinese only know how to make money and are not interested in politics. In fact, there is never and cannot be a position of overseas Chinese on the political stage of Vietnam.

Ng Diem would not think about any intentions from the Chinese, but would directly think of the disputes about the ownership of Phu Quoc Island.

As early as 1939, the French Indochina Governor drew a dividing line, which stipulated that the line was under the jurisdiction of the Cambodian Protectorate to the north and the Jiaozhichina Colonial Government to the south.

Although Phu Quoc Island is located within the jurisdiction of the Cambodian protector, Cambodia does not have any real power to govern the island, and in fact it has been managed by the Colonial Government of Jiaozhichina. When the French evacuated Indochina, Cambodia would become independent, and they would definitely make territorial claims at that time.

The Parrot Beak area is deep in Vietnam, and is closest only 50 kilometers away from Saigon. Diem wants even the Parrot Beak area, which has already established a border, so how can it be that Phu Quoc Island can be handed over to Cambodia?

Move more refugees over, carry out construction with great fanfare, and turn the disputed territory into actual territory. The more he thinks, the more reasonable he makes, and agrees: "Although the French have not evacuated, it is still okay to ask for a few pieces of land first. For the people, since you are so confident, let go and focus on developing the Phu Quoc Island. I fully support it."

Chen Lichun was anxious and stared at him and asked, "Which is the clothing factory, where are you going to build a clothing factory?"

"First build a branch factory in Vung Tau Industrial Village, wait until the situation in Saigon stabilizes, and then build a general factory in Pingtung Industrial Zone. I believe that will be the largest factory with the largest number of workers in Asia."

This is almost the same. Chen Lichun thought about it and then said: "Women should organize themselves, and female workers should also participate in military training."

Li Weimin hugged his arms and smiled, "Of course it's okay, but it can't delay their work. If they don't train every day, the factory will be effective, and what can I get to pay them?"
