Chapter 61 Reform

During this month, Ji Qing did a lot of things. 26nbsp;

For example, coal, iron, electric power and other related industries were combined into the Northern Iron and Steel Coal Energy Group. Because Ji Qing attached great importance to steel and mineral deposits, he invested the most, and spent money to acquire many small mining companies. The scale immediately reached the leading steel and coal enterprises in China.Of course, this is just the beginning. With the expansion of Ji Qing's footsteps, this steel, coal and energy group will further expand and grow into a world-class super monopoly group.

In Ji Qing's time and space, after September [-], the Japanese invaders used the Northeast as a material supply base for expanding their war of aggression, and frantically plundered the Northeast's resources.In Anshan Iron Ore Mountain, they set up the Showa Steel Works and took Anshan Iron Mine as their own.In Fushun and Benxi, the invaders plundered a large amount of iron ore and coal mines, and shipped them to Japan from Dalian Port.

Guo Jinxiu, an old miner in Benxi Lake, Liaoning, was deceived by the Japanese from Shandong to Benxi Lake with his father when he was 9 years old, and witnessed the scandal of Japan's plundering of resources. "The Japanese mining of Chinese coal mines is destructive, just like some of us eat jujube cakes, only eating the jujube in the middle. I remember when we went down the well, we used the method of 'go forward and pick up two gangs, one poke and fall down'" and "killing chickens and taking eggs" coal mining methods, as well as large-area headspace operations. These coal mining methods are very dangerous for laborers and are prone to casualties. In addition, the Japanese only want the best coal in the middle, which is destructive mining , a lot of waste. From 1931 to 1945, 80% of the coal in Benxi was taken away by the Japanese. What they took away was the 'golden heart' - low phosphorus, low sulfur, low ash, the best coal .”

And now at this time, many minerals, coal and other resources are well preserved, and they have not experienced the crazy plundering of the Japanese, which is enough for the industrial development of the Northeast for many years.Seeing the statistics of mineral reserves, Ji Qing was very pleased. Although he could not change his time and space, he still saved his property for the people of this time and space.

The Bank of the Three Northeast Provinces was also reorganized into the Northern Bank, and a lot of reforms were carried out. Apart from not having so many advanced equipment, it can be said that it is no different from the banks in Ji Qing's era.In addition, the bank also issued its own banknotes with the reserves of gold, silver and other precious metals as guarantees.

Of course, Ji Qing’s hair-style banknotes are naturally different. They are actually not made of paper, but a composite of polymer materials, which cannot be ignited at temperatures below 500 degrees. There are many levels of advancement.In this world, there is even less possibility of being forged.

With its own banknotes, other currencies will naturally not be popular, and foreign banks must have a certain amount of precious metal collateral.These changes made many foreign banks dissatisfied, but Ji Qing's prestige in driving away the Japanese did not dare to offend them too much.

However, although banknotes from other banks are no longer in circulation in the Northeast, Ji Qing is still making banknotes from various countries.Of course, these were not spent in the country, but purchased various materials from overseas through the latent personnel and the business group established by Ji Qing.As for the problem of inflation, as long as it does not spread to the country, it will be fine.

After that, there is land policy.There were still a lot of big landlords in the three eastern provinces at this time, and many of them were nobles from the Qing Dynasty. Even when Marshal Zhang was alive, these problems were not resolved.

Ji Qing didn't want to use violence to spread the land equally, so he adopted a method, that is, the big landlords who seized the land by force within ten years must return the cultivated land, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be held accountable.Big landlords without these bad practices will adopt a cumulative land tax system in the future. The tax rate for land below 10 mu is very low, and the tax rate increases for every 10 mu more than 100 mu. Basically, after deducting taxes, the profit is not as much as [-] mu. The more land, the greater the loss.And the tax must be paid regardless of whether the land is cultivated or not.

Under such a policy, those large landlords with thousands of acres, tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres can only avoid greater losses by selling their land or giving up their land.However, even if ordinary people buy, they will never exceed a hundred acres. Therefore, a lot of land can only be sold to the government in the end, and the government will distribute the land to those who have little land to cultivate. The purchase cost only needs to be divided into ten years. Just pay it off.

In doing so, it has experienced a redistribution of land, allowing more people to obtain land.

Of course, doing so would have too much impact, but with Ji Qing's ferocity to drive away the Japanese, even if those landlords were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.Even through the influence of the gentry, it will not work.

The reason for this was that Ji Qing had already removed many unqualified officials within this month, which surprised everyone.Because officials are the foundation, even if they are dissatisfied, they will not go to war.However, Ji Qing had no intention of taking care of the old people at all. If it was impossible, he would tear it up, and if there were problems, new officials were quickly assigned to the vacant positions, which had no effect on the implementation of policies and the management of the people.

With the adjustment of the system for officials and the various types of manpower dispatched by Ji Qing, the officialdom in the Northeast is awe-inspiring and the atmosphere is good.Now don't talk about corruption and bribery, even a vegetarian meal in the corpse, after a while, if you fail the assessment, you will be taken down.Quit, okay, Ji Qing has plenty of substitutes here.

The people in the three northeastern provinces are the most happy about the various changes in the three northeastern provinces.First of all, the officials are clean and efficient, and the people are naturally the direct beneficiaries.Secondly, their taxes are much lower, especially for the farmers, which are less than when Xiao Zhang was there. In addition, a large number of landless farmers have enough land, so people are naturally very happy.

Ji Qing originally wanted to exempt the agricultural tax, but considering the reality, he decided to forget it for now.But even so, the farmers are very grateful to the current government. Compared with other provinces, the lives of ordinary people in the Northeast are much better.

Ji Qing was also emotional, he saved a group of people, his time and space from the Northeast after September [-]th must have lived a miserable life that couldn't be worse.

After September [-]th in Jiqing Time and Space, with the further expansion of the Japanese war of aggression against China, the Japanese invaders plundered the agricultural resources of the Northeast even more frantically, and fully implemented the so-called "grain out of the lotus" system, which means "sale" in Japanese and "sell" in Chinese. Grab food".

In order to plunder food to the maximum extent, officials of all levels of the ruling regime of the Puppet Manchukuo, large and small, as well as organizations such as the "Concord Association" and "Xingnong Cooperatives" were dispatched together.By 1945, farmers had to hand over 51% of the total output, which meant that there was not much grain left after the farmers had finished handing over the "grain".Many farmers don't even have rations and seeds.

However, in cities where the rationing system is implemented, the Chinese are only allocated a dozen catties of bean cakes or sorghum rice every month, and they have to queue up in the middle of the night. During the "Puppet Manchukuo" period, only the Japanese could eat rice, and the Chinese were "economic criminals" if they ate rice and white noodles.Liu Anfa, an 82-year-old man from Jili Village, Fangzheng County, Heilongjiang Province, said: "When the Japanese devils were in the Northeast, the lives of ordinary people were hard! We could only eat corn and sorghum rice. During the holidays, we would get something to eat at midnight. There is a person in our village who ate some "dry gold" at a relative's house, which is similar to rice. When he got sick on the train when he returned home, he vomited it out. The Japanese saw it and said it was eaten by the Chinese. After eating rice, I was arrested at that time. It seems that I was dragged to work as a laborer and never returned home.”

The people in this time and space don't know this, otherwise they wouldn't know how to thank Ji Qing. I'm afraid there will be statues offering incense and worshiping at that time.

What Ji Qing has done, especially the reform of the land system, has had a great impact and has been controversial throughout the country.Of course, those who are dissatisfied are naturally those with vested interests.

However, after Ji Qing embarked on the road of martial arts, once he made a decision, he would not change, as long as he had a clear conscience.Others, he doesn't care.As for threats, he was even less afraid.

For him, now is the time to farm and rest, and when enough rest is enough, it is the beginning of flat pushing.

ps, who will be the next flat pusher, let's talk about it! . .
