Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

156

There is a lot of money as a backing, plus the support of the entire security division.In less than two days, under Li Guosheng's personal guidance, the intelligence department's airs were set up.At the same time, the investigation of the intelligence systems of the Japanese army and the Northern Expedition Army in the four counties in eastern Shandong was also carried out rapidly.

Perhaps it is because at this time, the infiltration of Japanese spies into China has not yet reached the serious situation before the all-out war of resistance.In addition, the spies sent by Lao Jiang were also novices who had not received formal training.In less than a few days of unannounced visits and investigations, the secret agents who sneaked into the four counties in eastern Shandong to investigate the military situation and sabotage slowly surfaced.

The work of the intelligence department was on the right track, and when Li Guosheng, the division commander, set his sights on the army again.A question that has nothing to do with the military was put in front of him by Li Guanghua, the deputy division commander.

"Master, according to the time calculation, within two months at the latest, the entire four counties in eastern Shandong will begin to sow winter wheat on a large scale. After a plunder, most of the fields in the entire territory became unowned wasteland because the owner was killed.”[

"If we can't find owners for these fertile fields in time, these fertile fields will definitely be abandoned this winter. At that time, the entire four counties in eastern Shandong will suffer from famine due to a large reduction in food production. Therefore, I suggest that we must deal with them as soon as possible The millions of acres of fertile land in hand, so as not to cause turmoil in the entire four counties of eastern Shandong...>

After listening to Li Guanghua's introduction, Li Guosheng remembered one thing.I am not only the Ludong Security Division, but also the chief executive of the four counties in Ludong.The livelihood of more than 100 million ordinary people in the four counties in eastern Shandong is also within their own jurisdiction.However, if one's own security division wants to develop and grow, it is absolutely impossible without the foundation and foundation of the four counties in eastern Shandong.Therefore, the four counties in eastern Shandong are stable.Wealth directly means that the security division in one's hands is stable, and only then will there be the possibility of continuous development and growth...

Think here.Li Guosheng's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

To be clear, even in Hereafter.I am just a pure soldier, and I have no contact with political affairs and people's livelihood at all.But now, let him manage the entire four counties in eastern Shandong, with a population of almost 150 million, which has to make Li Guosheng feel embarrassed.

However, when I think of the "importance" of the four counties in eastern Shandong to myself and the "importance" to my security division.What's more, the four counties in eastern Shandong may directly be the foundation of his future rise.Without hesitation.He directly took the report from Li Guanghua's hand and began to read it seriously.

"A total of 350 million acres of fertile land...>

"Yes. Master seat, this is the result of the latest statistics...>

"The entire four counties in eastern Shandong. For two days with a total of about 580 million mu, except for one-fifth of the land, it is still in the hands of the remaining landlords, and one-fifth of the land is in the hands of ordinary people. The remaining five Three-thirds of the land has become ownerless fertile land, and is controlled by my security division...>

Three-fifths of the land is just around 350 million mu.After listening to the introduction, Li Guosheng, who was still shocked just now, immediately became relieved.

Now that he had already accepted this matter with courage, facing the gaze of the deputy division commander Li Guanghua, Li Guosheng's mind immediately began to think about specific solutions.

If one's own garrison division wants to develop and grow, apart from the continuous financial resources provided by the four eastern Shandong counties to support troops and a steady stream of new recruits to expand the troops, the most important thing left is food.

Especially in this chaotic world, in many cases, food is even more precious than oceans.

The 350 million mu of fertile land directly means that in May and June next year, at least [-] million catties of grain will be harvested.Not to mention too much, even if [-]% of it is left to the local people, I can still have at least [-] million catties of grain left.

What kind of concept is [-] billion catties of grain? Putting it in the current security division, it is enough for the current [-] troops to eat for at least five years.

As the saying goes, there is food in hand, and there is no panic in troubled times.With enough food reserves, I can attract more people to the four counties in eastern Shandong in this troubled world.And the more common people he controls, it directly means that he can recruit more qualified soldiers, and the strength of his security division will become stronger and stronger because of this.

Of course, there is another very crucial factor. If the 300 million jin of grain is replaced by the current market price of wheat, it will be more than 200 million.Coupled with the harvest of other [-] meters of land, at that time, I can rely on one of the four counties in eastern Shandong to ensure the self-sufficiency of the security division in my hand.

However, at present, it seems that all of these are to be blamed. There is only one problem, and the millions of acres of fertile land in the four counties in eastern Shandong must not be allowed to go to waste like this.Otherwise, not only will I not have any harvest in the coming year, but it will also cause the four counties in eastern Shandong to fall into famine in the coming year.

Thinking of the pros and cons, Li Guosheng directly turned his attention to Li Guanghua, who knew the world better, and asked, "Old Li, what do you think of these millions of acres of unclaimed land?"

"Master, according to my idea, directly auction these lands. This will not only return a batch of funds in a short period of time. More importantly, it will allow these fertile fields to be planted with food as soon as possible." Li Guanghua directly said the current situation The "governments" of various parts of China have specific plans to deal with this kind of thing. [

"Auction..." Li Guosheng said with a dignified look on his face.

"If the auction is carried out, if there is no accident, these fertile land will be concentrated in the hands of a small number of landlords. At that time, most of the people in the four counties in eastern Shandong will continue to be their farm laborers and have no property or land of their own. ?” Li Guosheng did not answer right away, but asked in a deep voice.

Regarding Li Guosheng's words, Li Guanghua nodded directly, and said helplessly: "Master, this is the current social reality. There is no way to concentrate all these fertile fields in the hands of landlords..."

"You know, the people below are really poor. Even if they are given land, Temon doesn't have enough financial resources to buy seeds and cattle. In the end, these good fields will be abandoned due to various factors."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to openly sell to those landowners who have enough capital. At least in this way, it can ensure that those farm laborers will not starve to death, and that my security division can receive enough taxes in the coming year. Of course, more importantly, it can guarantee these fertile fields. Don't continue to be desolate." Speaking of this, Li Guanghua, who also had sympathy for the people at the bottom, showed a strong sense of powerlessness on his face.

As for the teacher Li Guosheng.After some explanations by Li Guanghua, one fact became clear: how difficult it is for the current society to divide these fertile fields equally.Why was China liberated throughout the country and distributed all the land equally to the common people?What kind of cooperative should we do?There is only one reason for this, and that is that the common people are so poor that every household does not have a complete set of production tools and can only borrow from each other.

However, even though there are many difficulties, Li Guosheng doesn't want to let these millions of acres of fertile land.Return to the hands of those landlords and bullies.Because he knows that as these fertile fields become more and more concentrated in the hands of a few people, the contradictions among the various classes of the people will become bigger and bigger, and eventually reach the point of irreconcilability.

Li Guosheng, who came from later generations, did not want to have a logistics base for his own security division. Therefore, after a few years of this foreseeable reason, the members of the Red Party who will spring up in China like mushrooms after rain do not want to see their own base. Other forces other than oneself, even appear unstable factors.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng has already made a secret decision in his heart, no matter how difficult the difficulties in front of him are, these millions of acres of fertile land must be distributed to the people at the bottom.Of course, even in this process, I may encounter certain rebounds, and I don't hesitate to do so.

Otherwise, wait until you want to accomplish this goal in the future, and redeem the land from the landlord to divide the days.At that time, the price I have to pay will definitely be very huge.After all, the millions of acres of fertile land in my hands are all unclaimed land, and no one else has any say in how I want to divide them.As for the difficulties I need to overcome, it is to help and support the local people to complete the first year of farming...

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng didn't say it right away.According to my own thoughts, I continued to ask my old partner Li Guanghua in front of me: "Old Li, if you follow your plan and auction all these millions of acres of fertile land, in the second year, that is, next year's grain harvest At that time, how much tax can the "government" collect from these landlords."

"Master, according to the current land tax rate of the "government" of the Republic of China, after subtracting the amount of concealment that may occur by various landlords, the 350 million mu of fertile land can collect 4000 million catties of grain, which is almost enough." Li Guanghua replied .

"4000 million catties, why is it so little? Then let me ask you, what is the proportion of grain collected by the landlord from the tenant. How much grain can the farmer leave for himself in the end for each acre of land?" It is estimated that the figure is more than three times less.Surprised, Li Guosheng asked directly.

"For every mu of land harvested by the farm laborers, in addition to paying the "government" tax, a part of the grain no less than the "government" tax should be handed over to their employer, who is the owner of the land. As for The grain seeds and various production tools they rented from the landlord in advance. After the grain is produced, they will also be charged a high interest rate. When the grain is harvested, all of it will be converted into grain and handed over to the landlord. inside."

"So, calculated in this way, the harvest of one acre of land is finally left in the hands of the farm laborers, and it is already very good to have four achievements. More importantly, those vicious employers don't care about disaster years and harvest years: good harvest In the year of disaster, all the taxes are paid according to the proportion of the total output. As for the disaster year, the tax is paid according to the minimum payment standard set by the local landlords themselves. "

"If you are really unlucky and encounter a disaster year, the food left in the hands of the farm laborers may not even be as much as in an ordinary year. What's more, a year's hard work will not only result in no harvest, but instead I will also owe some food to the landlord." Speaking of the current difficult world, Li Guanghua directly showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Even in a good year, less than [-]% of the grain left in the hands of the farm laborer is less than [-]% of the grain. According to the current yield of wheat per mu, [-]% of the grain is about [-] catties. And a young and middle-aged man can rely on cattle, and With the help of my family, I can only cultivate ten acres of land at most.”

"The harvest of ten acres of land directly means that an ordinary farmhand has worked hard for a year. In the end, the grain that falls into the hands is only [-] catties. If all [-] catties of wheat are ground into flour, they can fall Four hundred catties is already pretty good... >

"The teacher is right. Four hundred catties of flour is indeed not enough for a family. Therefore, many people sell the flour and replace it with relatively cheaper coarse grains. Of course. Even so, many farm laborers In a year, there are always one or two months when we have to use wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger. As for the flour and rice that are classified as refined grains, they are only grains that landlords can eat...>

Hear here.Li Guosheng's face immediately showed a thoughtful expression.After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "Lao Li, since this is the case, what do you think the people under our rule want most now?"

"Of course it's a full stomach and a piece of land that belongs to me..." Li Guanghua subconsciously said without thinking.

"Then if my security division allocates fields for them and gives them food so that they can eat. What do you think the people under our rule will think of our security division?" Li Guosheng continued to ask with a smile on his face. [

"It goes without saying that they must be grateful to my security division and regard my security division as their reborn parents. I can even be sure that there will be many people in the four counties in eastern Shandong who will directly set up division seats at home. Yours The tablet of longevity, I enshrine you every day, the benefactor who saved their lives and gave them a new life... >

Then, he seemed to realize something, and asked directly: "Master, you don't really plan to divide the 350 million acres of land evenly... >

Concerned about Li Guanghua's confusion, Li Guosheng, who has the concept of early consumption for later generations, showed a strange and incomprehensible smile on his face, and said: "Old Li, you worry too much...>

Seeing Li Guanghua with an incredible face in front of him, Li Guosheng continued: "Of course, I understand your worries...>

"In this way, I will perform a simple calculation for you later... >

"After all the 350 million acres of land are divided equally, we let the common people rent and plant them for three years. After three years, all the land can be owned by themselves...>

"In the first three years of renting and planting, in order to offset the sale price of the land and the various grain seeds and production tools we provided in the first year, our tax will be directly raised to [-]% of the total income. As for the three Years later, the agricultural tax will be reduced to [-]% of the usual rate... >

"Of course, there is one more important thing. The agricultural tax ratio I am talking about is not calculated on the basis of each year's harvest. It is a unified calculation based on the harvest in an ordinary year. That is to say, regardless of the farmer's annual How much will be harvested in the end, and the tax paid on one mu of land is 75 catties of grain, so it will always be 75 catties of grain. Unless there is a disaster year or a major change, it can be adjusted accordingly... >

"Of course I would agree...>

"More importantly, after three years, these fields will directly belong to their private property, and the agricultural tax will be directly reduced to [-]%. No ordinary people would be unwilling to such a good thing. I believe that as long as the entire four counties in eastern Shandong are not A young and middle-aged man who is too lazy can definitely guarantee the food and clothing of the family after a year of busy work. If he can be more diligent, there will be a lot of surplus after a year's delivery. This is compared with the original land renting and farming , there is simply a world of difference...>
