Chapter 299: The Revolutionaries (4)

In the evening of the same day, the revolutionaries discussed all night, because the visit to the military camp let the revolutionaries understand the military strength of the East China government, and many revolutionaries could not understand why the East China government could not afford to raise troops and overthrow the Chun Ting, but there was only one last day left for the visit, so the revolutionaries were also waiting for the end of the visit and asking questions when the talks were held.

The third day of the visit is not in Qingdao, but in the suburbs of Qingdao Wangjiazhai Farm, now China is still a big agricultural country, the number of rural population accounts for more than 9 percent, so the rural work is also the focus of the East China government, the role of land reform is not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to keep the countryside stable, so that the East China government can free up its hands to engage in industrialization. Naturally, it was also necessary for the revolutionaries to look at the rural construction of the East China government. In fact, the East China government wanted the revolutionaries to see the real countryside, but the area around Qingdao was not suitable for the development of agriculture, and there was no decent countryside, so it had to lead them to Wangjiazhai Farm.

In fact, Wangjiazhai Farm is not mainly planted food crops, but the agricultural and sideline industries are very good, melons, fruits and vegetables, greenhouses, ground and everything, as well as aquaculture, and now a small food processing plant has been built to process and make some non-staple food, so it can also be handled.

Although many of these revolutionaries were from rural areas and were no strangers to farming, and some of them were sympathetic to the peasants, they saw individual agricultural production in the family unit, and even if there were local families with a large amount of land, they still rented them to tenants for their own production, and the farms were not only used for agricultural research, but also on a large-scale business planting, which these revolutionaries had never seen before.

Of course, there are many advantages of large-scale operation, which can not only improve labor productivity and save manpower, but also concentrate on purchasing agricultural auxiliary facilities, such as digging ditches to divert water, concentrating on composting, raising livestock, and allocating agricultural tools. At present, the East China government has built 10 farms in Tianjin, Shandong and other places. However, on the whole, the East China government's agriculture is still a small-scale peasant production model based on family production, which is no different from this era, except that the land is under public ownership, so that the peasants have reduced the link of landlord exploitation. Farm-style intensive management is only twice as small.

Now Wangjiazhai Farm has a total of more than 3,200 acres of cultivated land, and the staff even plus the food processing factory, there are only more than 150 people, if only counting the personnel of the cultivation work, there are less than 50 people, the average person cultivates 60-70 acres of land, and in this era, an adult labor force can only cultivate 10-15 acres of land without livestock and large-scale agricultural tools, and if there are livestock and tools, it can reach 30- 40 acres, so the labor efficiency of the farm is at least 2 times more than that of an individual. And the more land you cultivate, the more productive you are. In Longshan Farm, the largest farm in the East China government, there are more than 5,200 acres of cultivated land, and there are less than 60 cultivators, and the per capita cultivation reaches nearly 100 acres.

In fact, in the East China government, there has always been a call for the development of farm-based management, but the problem of farm-based management is that the labor required has been greatly reduced, of course, to a certain extent, this feature is not only not a shortcoming, because it is in the early stage of industrialization, this tube is really a major advantage, can liberate a large number of rural labor, put into industrial production. However, at the present level of the East China government, it is an insurmountable defect, because the current level of industrial excellence of the East China government is not enough to absorb the remaining rural labor force for the large-scale promotion of farm management.

After all, the East China government's industrialization has only been carried out for less than three years, less than 100 factories and enterprises have been built, and the current industrial population is only a little over 100,000. Therefore, the lazy camp is only a pilot project of the East China government, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale until the industrialization of the East China government has developed to a certain scale.

However, the revolutionaries did not understand these advanced concepts of social development, and the East China government did not give them a detailed explanation, so after listening to the introduction of these "farms are more productive than individuals", they also admired the overseas Chinese, although the revolutionaries did not attach much importance to the power of the peasants in preaching the revolution, but they also knew the important role of agricultural production in the country, and they could not imagine that the overseas Chinese could not only train the army, set up factories, and run schools and education, but also were very good at agriculture, and they simply had what kind of talents.

In fact, the East China government is also very concerned about the behavior of revolutionaries, although in the old time and space, the official history of these revolutionaries basically has a positive and positive attitude, but Qin Zheng is also half a historian, knowing that these revolutionaries actually have many shortcomings, although the revolutionaries do have a strong patriotic heart, hoping that China can become rich and strong, but in concrete actions they are often too anxious, eager to achieve overnight, or complete the work in one battle, and lack patience and down-to-earth attitude; and although revolutionaries are full of passion and energy, they are also prone to embark on an emotional, even extreme road, because revolutionaries are too youngIn addition, although revolutionaries have a certain world vision, due to the limited materials they can obtain and their own knowledge and opinions, there are also big misunderstandings in their interpretation of other countries' experiences in revolutionary struggles, and they are unable to correctly absorb the useful experiences of other countries' revolutionary struggles.

Of course, the existence of these shortcomings does not negate the progressive nature of revolutionaries, and these shortcomings are not insurmountable, after all, everyone moves from immaturity to maturity, and great revolutionaries are not born in a day, but in the cooperation with revolutionaries, the East China government must try its best to avoid them, and at the same time, it must also try its best to help revolutionaries correct these shortcomings.

However, now it is only the first contact between the two sides, and there is a process of getting acquainted with each other, although the traverser is very familiar with these revolutionaries, but the understanding is basically the revolutionaries who have become famous in the later period, and now these revolutionaries are still young, and the degree of knowledge of fate is not high, so the traverser also has a process of re-understanding them.

In this way, things are simple, and there is no need to discuss anything in the executive meeting on how to deal with the revolutionaries, so the arrangement of the revolutionaries is basically up to the Big Five.

At the end of the three-day visit, the Big Five also got together to discuss how to deal with the talks with the revolutionaries.

Xiao Jianjun first said: "What are the roles of these two Japanese, how can they be mixed into our revolutionary ranks. ”

In fact, Gong Qi and Pingshan Zhou were very low-key in Qingdao, and they rarely spoke during the visit, and when the revolutionaries were discussing, there was basically no evaluation of the East China government, so the records about them were the least. However, the two Japanese are sandwiched among a large number of Chinese, which still seems very eye-catching, not to mention that the relationship between the East China government and Japan is very delicate now, and it is naturally regarded as a key prevention figure, and when it is discussed, it is also the first to be picked out.

Qin Zheng said: "In fact, these two Japanese are really not bad people, in our previous diplomatic orders, they can be regarded as 'old friends of the Chinese people', in the old time and space, these two people did a lot of efforts to the Chinese revolution, because they were revolutionary activities before the Xinhai Revolution, so they maintained a good personal friendship with many Xinhai veterans, including Sun Yat-sen." In July 1900, Sun Yat-sen launched the Huizhou Uprising, and Pingshan Zhou participated in some of the planning Translated into Japanese and published, Sun Yat-sen increased his popularity among Japanese revolutionaries, and also participated in the activities of the Huizhou Uprising, and in the old time and space, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing's acquaintance was also introduced by Gong Qi, and later mediated the contradictions between the two many times, which created the combination of Sun Huang. ”

Wang Yunpeng said: "This is strange, why do you say that these two Japanese support the Chinese revolution? Could it be that they are full of food and support?"

Xia Bohai said: "Isn't this easy to understand? Isn't it just a bet on both sides, and it won't cost a lot of money anyway, what if it happens? The return on investment can be large." ”

Qin Zheng said: " Lao Xia said yes, in fact, these two Japanese are not only friends with revolutionaries, but also have a good relationship with the reformers, after the failure of the Wuxu Reform, it was Miyazaki who helped Kang Youwei escape to Japan for refuge, and the two also planned to let Sun Yat-sen and Kang Youwei meet, but Kang Shengren was dedicated to protecting the emperor and did not look down on Sun Yat-sen, so he only let Liang Qichao meet Sun Yat-sen in person, but in recent years, these two people have basically stood on the side of the revolutionaries, probably estimated that the reform faction will not become a big deal, but only on one side, in fact, there are more complicated reasons for this。 ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "What is the reason?"

Qin Zheng said: "In the old time and space, until Inuyangyi was assassinated, there were two attitudes in Japan towards how to deal with China, one was direct aggression, whether it was swallowing or encroaching, in short, it was simple, rude and direct possession; Although the latter attitude has never been able to become the mainstream, this attitude does exist, and the teacher of these two people, Dog Yangyi, is a representative of this attitude. However, after Inukai Yi was assassinated by a young officer in 1932, this attitude was basically extinct in Japan. Of course, advocating friendship with China is fundamentally for the sake of Japan's interests, and the view of the Japanese who hold this attitude is that China is too big, has too many people, and is contained by the United States and European countries, and it is basically impossible for Japan to annex China, so instead of consuming Japan's strength in the process of conquering China, it is better to make friends with China and pull China into Japan's chariot, so that Japan can also make full use of China's resources and save its strength to deal with the United States and European countries. However, being friendly with China means that Japan's power must be stronger than China's, and it will dominate Sino-Japanese relations. ”
