The discussion of land policy in terms of agricultural productivity and industrialization has rarely been considered in the past, and it can be said that it has not been considered at all. But the questions raised by An Xiangui and Lu Hong are not unreasonable. In order to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, intensive farm-style management is indeed a direction of development, and in the old time and space, China has already developed in this direction, and to develop industrialization, it is indeed necessary to need a large number of industrial workers, and China in this era has not yet formed an independent working class, so it needs industrial workers, and only the peasants are transformed.

Lu Hong said again: " To put it simply, the enclosure movement is to drive the peasants out of the land on the one hand, concentrate the scattered land in the hands of the peasants, and carry out intensive farm-style management to improve the production efficiency of agriculture, on the other hand, after the peasants lose their land, they can only rely on working in the factories run by the capitalists, so as to transform into industrial workers, so as to promote the development of capitalist economy and industry, and the industrial exhibition, the products are enriched, and the production furniture is improved, which in turn can cooperate with the development of agricultural intensification and farm-style management, forming a virtuous circle。 Of course, it is impossible for us to carry out a land encirclement movement now, but it is really debatable whether or not to distribute land to the peasants. On the other hand, if we concentrate the confiscated landlords' land and engage in intensive farm-style management, and through some administrative means, turn the landless peasants into industrial workers, will we not enter a virtuous circle? ”

Zhang Zichen said: "But in the old time and space, didn't we exhibit industry and agriculture together?

Lu Hong obviously had already considered this, and immediately said: " The experience of the old time and space can only be used as a reference, and cannot be copied, because the situation of these two eras is different, in the old time and space, we founded the country after 5o years, although in the past 5o years, China has been in a state of instability, but some local time periods, or obtained some stable time, including the golden decade of the Beiyang government, the golden decade of the national government, although these two golden decades are not as great as the fans of the Republic of China boasted, and did not make China truly rich and strong, but it is not completely without positive significance, at least through these two golden decadesIt has indeed allowed China's national industry to be exhibited to a certain extent, and an independent working class has been formed. ”

"Although the number of the working class is still very low in the proportion of the national population after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the large population of China, the absolute number is still a very considerable number, and this group of working class is the basis for the completion of the initial industrialization exhibition in the old time and space, and there is no need to transform industrial workers from the peasants, even if industrialization cannot absorb the agricultural population, then the intensive farm management in the countryside will not be possible, which will cause a large number of peasants to lose their jobs and cause huge social turmoil, which is the background of the land policy in the old time and space, and this era has not formed an independent working classThis is the biggest difference of the times, so I think our exhibition path should be changed. ”

Although the questions raised by An Xiangui and Lu Hong are indeed quite reasonable, after all, Li Songchen and Zeng Dong have a deep study of the agricultural situation in this era, so the two thought for a while, and briefly exchanged two sentences, and the loopholes in the questions raised by An Xiangui and Lu Hong appeared. In fact, similar to intensive farm management has always existed in ancient China, although most of the landlords in ancient China relied on leasing land to income, but there were also some business landlords who hired their own workers to manage farming, although this is not the mainstream, but it is not an isolated case; and we also opened two farms in Tianjin and Qingdao, that is, the intensive farm type management used. ”

"However, although intensive farm-style management represents the direction of the agricultural exhibition, if we want to truly improve agricultural production efficiency, it is still based on agricultural mechanization and the popularization of chemical fertilizers. Under the condition of agricultural technology level, the implementation of intensive farm management, although it can improve agricultural production efficiency, but the improvement is limited, and the ability of farmers to resist risks is not large, in addition to intensive farm management needs to have a large amount of capital investment in the early stage, and at the same time, the operator must have a strong ability to organize and manage, these are not the farmers of this era can do it, but only the landlord can do it, which is contrary to our original intention, so we believe that under the current conditions, it is not appropriate to promote intensive farm management, but should still be based on the family small peasant economy, but can be led by the government, open a small number of farms, one is to accumulate experienceIn addition, it is also possible to open up a small number of open-minded landlords of the management type, and when the subjective and objective conditions are ripe, they can gradually promote intensive farm-style management with the village as a unit. ”

After An Xiangui and Lu Hong heard this, they were silent for a while, and then Lu Hong said: "Then how to solve the labor gap of industrialization? At most, in one month, German machinery and equipment will arrive in Qingdao, and at that time Qingdao will have a labor gap of at least 10,000 people, and next year, with the full operation of various factories, even the expansion of scale, and the opening of new factories, the labor gap will expand to attract 30,000 to 50,000 people, and this problem must be solved." ”

Li Songchen smiled: " This is not contradictory to the rural division of land, according to our understanding, the peasants of this era are not excluded from work, after the autumn harvest every year, before the New Year, there will be a large number of peasants into the city to do odd jobs, subsidize the family, and some businessmen will also go to the countryside at this time to recruit short-term workers, so we can completely through policy guidance, to attract peasant workers, such as allowing the peasants to work in a certain period of time to retain the rural household registration and land, in this era, the income of workers is much higher than farming, and the peasants are hoping to settle in the city, become urban people This mentality is the same as in the old time and space, when they have been workers for several yearsAfter broadening their horizons, it is estimated that most people will choose to give up their rural household registration and land, and completely transform into industrial workers, even if some people return to the countryside, but through their own experience, they can attract more farmers to the city and become industrial workers. ”

Qin Zheng listened to it and said with a smile: "Isn't this just a migrant worker?"

Li Songchen said: "Almost, after all, industrialization is not achieved overnight, but a gradual process, so the transformation of farmers into industrial workers is also a gradual process, if there is a real shortage of people, we can also go to other provinces to recruit people, Henan, Hebei has a large number of impoverished people, which is enough to meet our current needs for industrialization, and the sudden expulsion of a large number of peasants from the land is simply indigestible with our current industrial scale, and it is easy to cause social unrest, because in the case of the Qing court and imperialism from the outside, the slightest difference will shake the foundation of our rule, and from the political level, we now need to get the support of the vast majority of the peasants as soon as possible, then the division of land is the fastest and most effective way. ”

At this time, Xia Bohai said: "I just said that there is actually some digression, we are discussing the issue of whether the land is public or private, and the discussion just now is the business model of the land, which is a deeper issue, of course, the appropriate discussion is deeper, and it is also conducive to us to make a final decision, but it is stopped here, and now the topic still has to return to our original topic." ”

Lu Hong said: "Okay, as long as the problem of the shortage of workers can be solved, I have no objection to dividing the fields." ”

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "Then do the others have anything to say?" After a while, seeing that no one had any more requests, Xia Bohai said, "Okay, then let's start voting." ”

The final result of the vote was 14 votes in favor, 6 votes against, and 3 abstentions, and the resolution to implement public ownership of land was adopted. Although the result of the vote was not as overwhelming as the previous resolution, the advantage was quite obvious.

In fact, the controversy over the land system mainly exists among some of the younger middle and lower class traversers within the crossing group, but they have little influence on the executive committee, and most of the members of the executive committee are middle-aged people, and a considerable number of them are still state cadres in the old time and space, and their ideological concepts are biased towards pragmatism, there are no literary and artistic young people who advocate idyll, and there are no so-called democrats who pursue universal values, and after being a leader for nearly half a year in this era, they will weigh the gains and losses from the perspective of practical interestsIt is advantageous to divide the fields into households, because this will not only win the support of a large number of peasants in a short period of time, but will also increase the financial income of the crossing group and strengthen the ruling foundation of the crossing group.

Xia Bohai said: "Okay, the result of the vote has been decided, then the next step is to formulate the regulations of the land system of the club, and this task will be handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture to complete, I hope you can come up with a detailed outline as soon as possible." ”

Zeng Dongdao: "Yes, we will complete it as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Qin Zheng said: " Although our original intention was to reduce the burden on the peasants and promote the development of agriculture, in the process of implementing the club, if it is not handled well, it is very easy to deviate from our original intention and cause new social problems。 Therefore, when formulating the regulations of the land system, we must consider them as meticulously as possible. ”
