Both Sima Ping and Wei Xiushan chose to leave Wei Ze's inspection team on the grounds of work, and Wei Ze did not think it was strange. Both of them seemed to understand something, and although this epiphany usually brought about a not very happy ending, Weezer agreed that both of them would go back to work.

There were no two big leaders, and local officials in Shanxi were more active. During his visit to Shanxi, Wei Ze found that the situation in Shanxi was actually much better than he had imagined, and the local population, especially the rural population, was far less than he imagined. The local official's explanation was, "Many of them went north and northeast of Datong. ”

Although Shanxi claims to be conservative, the people are not at all standing. In the past, there was a westerly exit, but now the situation of going to the west is even more than history. Shanxi and Shaanxi are both going to Mongolia, and compared with Shaanxi, Shanxi still has the option of going to the northeast. In recent years, agriculture in the Northeast has been really good. The Northeast and the Far East are vast and sparsely populated, and under the new agricultural model planned by the state, one household can divide 200 acres of land. Farming and animal husbandry can make the people of Shanxi live a good life, and those enterprising young people leave the mountainous Shanxi and go straight to the vast world. In particular, young people in rural areas are willing to go to the endless plains to earn a living.

After the contradiction between man and land is resolved, it is almost certain that with the industriousness of Chinese peasants, the living standards will be greatly improved. Therefore, the barren Shanxi in Wei Ze's imagination did not appear at all, which had to make Wei Ze have some self-reflection. In Weeser's imagination, China's problems are difficult to solve. As long as the state can provide vast land and as long as the state adheres to the land nationalization system, the people's spontaneity is far stronger than Wei Ze imagined.

Before the trip, Wei Ze also listened to the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee talk about the recent explosion of urban population in Fujian and the news that real estate sales are booming. The current governor of Fujian Province is the former foreign minister Zuo Zhidan, so Zuo Zhidan is still willing to tell the truth to Wei Ze.

Beginning in 1868, marked by China's defeat of Spain and the recovery of Luzon, a large number of Fujianese left their barren homeland to explore the South China Sea. Twenty years have passed, and those people have made a lot of money. People in their twenties, thirties, and even forties felt the urge to go home. So there was a craze to return to his hometown in Fujian.

After 20 years of working and living in Luzon and other places, these people can no longer stand living in their hometown in the barren mountainous area. So after these people returned to their hometowns for a short time, they went to various rapidly expanding cities in Fujian to buy houses and become city people. So much money entered the housing market, detonating the frenzied expansion of Fujian cities. Urban construction itself can drive the economy to skyrocket, and Fujian suddenly finds that urban expansion, which was previously barely carried out by relying on state financial allocation, has suddenly become a lucrative business.

Not only Fujian, but also Guangdong, Guangxi and other large provinces that initially went to the South China Sea have seen a similar situation. Returning home with a lot of money and money are flocking to cities where life is more convenient, and they naturally want their children to no longer have to dig in the dirt to eat, but to step on their shoulders and move towards a higher class of society. The southern provinces thought that this would lead to a surge in urban population and unemployment. Unexpectedly, the urban expansion itself will create more jobs, the need for people on the construction site, the design of water and electricity, hospitals, schools, postal services, retail, these sectors are open to those who have gone to school, and these need to absorb a large number of labor in the "technical sector" of the educated population. Even the poorly educated rural population was able to join the manual labor force, triggering a large number of rural people to migrate to the cities for employment.

There are fewer traffic cops at various intersections, and elderly people wearing yellow hats and government-provided striped vests are responsible for maintaining traffic. For three or four hours per shift, government agencies pay these elderly people some surplus in addition to buying enough food for themselves. There are these people on the streets, and the elderly people in the community are also hired to clean up and prune the green plants. Whether it's the production sector or the service sector, the city is suddenly full of workers.

Since the people will not go hungry except for the lazy, the market will naturally flourish. When the market is prosperous, the economy is active. The southern provinces have begun to seriously study the institutional question of "who will send the money." The result of the discussion is of course gratifying, as long as the money can really fall into the hands of the grassroots working people through the payment of labor remuneration, the people whose income is not high will still use the money for basic living expenses. After the basic living expenses are stabilized, everyone will have food to eat and money to earn.

These ideas were one of the ideas that the Governor had instilled in the Restoration Party for decades, so the position of the Governor of Weze also rose with the great success of the policy. Although Wei Ze felt that these guys would definitely come up with the problem of moths because of their ingenuity, he could only wait for the problem to come out. A society with a relatively simple structure is relatively easy to predict, while an industrially advanced country is actually difficult to predict. At this stage, it is not necessary to rely on the predictions of some "visionary individuals", but to adhere to scientific theories to solve the problems that arise. There's a good joke, "I'll tell you a joke, economics is a science".

Shanxi lacks industry, so it does not see the modern industrial society of the southern provinces. However, from the perspective of agricultural model, Shanxi has really entered a new era. In the absence of land scarcity, Wei Ze has always been full of confidence in China.

After inspecting the circle, Wei Ze was very optimistic about the situation in Shanxi. No matter what Wei Xiushan thinks of Sima Ping, Sima Ping is quite serious in implementing the policy. There are schools in every village, and both boys and girls go to school. Every household can see something related to words, and there is no shortage of books. Spring couplets on the door, maps and calendars on the wall. In particular, the family solemnly pasted the children's various awards on the wall, which was even second only to the ancestral tablet.

In a rural cave in Jinzhong, Wei Ze eats pickles, steamed buns, noodles, and some unrefined meals mixed with meat. Wei Ze had to admit that the level of use of spices by the people in the north was relatively low, and the taste was too strong. But these are not problems, and it is the young guys from the agricultural technology workstation who are eating at the same table as Weizer.

Watch His Majesty the Great Emperor hold steamed buns, suck noodles, and drink noodle soup just like them. The lads were a little at a loss. But His Majesty asked everyone to eat quickly, and everyone could only eat together unceremoniously.

After eating, everyone poured a bowl of noodle soup. The hostess put away the dishes and chopsticks tremblingly, and Wei Ze sat cross-legged on the clay kang in the cave, and said to these grassroots comrades: "If you think you want to do something, let's listen to it." ”

If Weser asked everyone what they wanted, everyone would naturally have all kinds of ideas. But now His Majesty the Emperor has a pair of jeans and an ordinary shirt, and he asks everyone if there is anything they want to do. This is beyond everyone's imagination. What do you want to do? In fact, everyone has never thought about this question on weekdays.

"Your Majesty, can you give us some land?" A young man in his early twenties asked with a wince.

As soon as he said this, the cadres of Jinzhong stared at the young man. The young man was scared enough, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"What do you want to do with the land?" Weeser encouraged the lad. For those who are willing to work, Weeser has always been very supportive. Just like when he was in Beijing, Wei Ze said to Li Yifang, "I am very familiar with model workers. ”

Although the leader's gaze was very stern, the young man felt that the emperor's status was much higher than that of the big cadres in Jinzhong. His Majesty wants him to speak, and he has to speak. And he has asked this question many times, but there has been no response from above.

"Your Majesty, I like farming. This has been very difficult to promote good varieties in the local area, this ...... We are always looking for good land to cultivate. It will take several years for this good seed to reach the local area through the promotion link. Some of the good seeds have not been planted for a few years, and new good seeds are coming out. That one...... Fellows either call us a liar, or they say we are a pit. If we are given land and let us plant, the villagers will see that we are all planting, and they will definitely see the difference. The speed of promotion can also be improved a lot. "Although the young man didn't speak this and that fluently, the general meaning was quite clear.

Wei Ze looked at the nervous expressions of the cadres in Jinzhong, and then at the nervous expressions of the young man, and he smiled: "Let me ask a question." If you were given land, to whom do you think the grain that grows on the land should go? ”

Listening to such a direct question, the young man's face suddenly changed. "This ...... The ......" the young man was speechless.

Not only the guys who spoke, but also the faces of the other boys also changed a lot. The face of the cadre in Jinzhong was even more ugly, and just when he couldn't help but want to scold the young man, Wei Ze waved his hand at him. So the cadres in Jinzhong could only keep their mouths shut for the time being.

"Uh...... Well......" The young man held back for a while, and finally said in a low voice, "I want half of it, okay?" ”

"You planted the land, why did you only give you half of it?" Weser laughed.

“…… Isn't that why I also get a salary from my employer? The young man's voice was lowered, almost so that Wei Ze didn't understand.

This is indeed a problem, taking the wages of the state, planting their own land, and taking the proceeds from the harvest of the land. This kind of request seems excessive. Even if Wei Ze could understand, he didn't dare to agree or not agree immediately. There has been a long discussion about going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and the scar literature of those scum occupies most of the initial content. In the 21st century, however, there is more serious discussion. Weser was very impressed by one of them, that group of young intellectuals did not have their own land when they were in the countryside. In that discussion, one point was raised, "If these young intellectuals were able to get their own land, they would probably have a greater leading role in the countryside than in history." ”

At that time, there were many people and little land, and the good land had long been divided, so it was of course difficult for a group of foreign intellectuals to obtain land use rights in the local area. The current situation is very different, and the land contradiction between the Republic and the DPRK is very small. Each village and town has a surplus of land allocated to these young people. There is no land issue, and the young man's proposal involves a systemic issue. Weeser is well aware that if the system is not in order, no matter how good this approach is, it will lead to fierce debate. There is no way to sustain something that is not rightly named for a long time.

Wei Ze said: "I will consider this matter very seriously, and I will discuss it with Shanxi and even the Ministry of Agriculture." But now I can't give you an answer. Because I can't give you a single person to give instructions. I don't know if you can understand that. Because this matter is not just you, nor is it just Jinzhong or Shanxi. If I promise you land, then I have to promise thousands of agricultural technicians throughout the Republic of China. Do you understand what I say? ”

Judging by the young man's somewhat confused expression, he probably didn't understand. Weeser is also not prepared to do any profound ideological education. He said to the young man solemnly: "It doesn't matter if this thing is done or not. I'll write you a letter explaining the results. Do you understand this? ”

"I can! I can! The young man said excitedly. At this time, it doesn't matter whether he can get the land or not, and he doesn't care if he is even trained or criticized for it. Making a request to the Emperor, and being able to have the Emperor write a letter explaining the outcome of the matter, made the young man feel extremely satisfied. He, a small agricultural technician in the countryside, could be treated so seriously by His Majesty the Emperor, and he felt that it was worth dying at this time.

When driving to the next inspection site, the cadres of Jinzhong said nervously: "Your Majesty, do you really want to discuss this matter?" ”

"Do you think they're taking too much?" Weser laughed.

The cadres of Jinzhong immediately said: "It's not how much you take. If they farm for themselves, who are they? Is it the government or the locals. If that's the case, I think it's better to let the locals do it. Governor, he's not the only one who asks this question. There are a lot of people who want to do this. We've thought about this kind of thing, and we don't think we can let them take the state's money and do it for themselves. ”

"I understand what you're saying. But I don't think the same way. If they are given land to grow themselves, will they be able to use the most advanced technology for farming? Whether they can play a leading role. Weese replied.

"Huh?" The cadres of Jinzhong didn't expect Wei Ze to think about such a problem, and he vaguely remembered that someone in Jinzhong had also put forward such an idea when discussing this matter. But only one person said that, and he didn't insist on it. Years later, he had long since forgotten who had said it.

"Is it active use of science, or passive use of science? Even if we take the initiative to use science, it is not easy to determine whether it can really surpass traditional experience in the process of practice. If it fails, will it make the villagers feel that this agricultural science is useless. It's all very likely to happen. Weeser spoke his thoughts.

The cadres in Jinzhong felt a little uneasy, Wei Ze did tell about the bad situation that might happen now, and if it was the cadres in Jinzhong who said this, they would probably deny it. From the perspective of officialdom, since Wei Ze is so concerned about this matter, it shows that Wei Ze's heart is in favor of this approach.

Feeling this possibility, the cadres of Jinzhong who opposed this practice felt very embarrassed. It's very difficult. The problem that Governor Wezedu could see, of course, could not be ignored by them. Therefore, once Governor Wei Zedu decides to do this, if something happens, they will have very little chance of even shirking it.
