Zhang Haipeng was still prepared, he mysteriously leaned into Feng Delin's ear, and said softly: "Handsome, Zhang Zuolin trusts his son and lets him mess around in Fengtian, many high-level officials in the Feng department can't get used to it." Moreover, his Fengtian reform and land reform have hurt the benefits of many people, especially the brigade commander Tang Yulin, who has already opposed it openly and secretly. As long as we are secretly wooing, we are not afraid that this kid will not turn back. When the time comes, there will be infighting in the 27th Division, and I will see how that Zhang Dashuai ends! ”

Feng Delin immediately said: "You can do this immediately, and talk to me if you lack money." Damn, I'm going to add some blockage to the surname Zhang! "He hates Lao Xiao Zhang to the extreme, as long as he has the opportunity, he will never let go of the possibility of hitting them.

Alas, Lao Zhang has the right time, place and people, why is Xiao Zhang's kid so capable and everything goes so smoothly?

At this time, a year before the "October Revolution" was launched in Soviet Russia, and when the socialist collective farm model that later influenced Eastern Europe and China was still only in the inspiration of some pioneers, Zhang Hanqing had already completed his first step in a creative way, and the land reform was fruitful, and it was time to start moving towards the second step, which was called "guaranteeing production to households".

This step is also the proper meaning: Zhang's father and son, especially Zhang Hanqing's land reform in Xinmin, allowed the poor people to share the land. However, whether or not the peasants can manage their land well requires not only the guidance of the government, but also the sense of responsibility of the peasants from the bottom of their hearts, and the wisdom of the peasants.

Since the feudal society, the phenomenon of land annexation has been carried out in every dynasty and every generation. Although society as a whole was able to achieve an "equal distribution" of land after each change of dynasty or peasant uprising, after a certain number of years, there was still a division between the landlords and the poor. Of course, there is no shortage of policy issues here, but it is an indisputable fact that the landlords have more "minds" than the poor to manage the land.

Since the beginning of the industrial era, the landless peasants have been a manifestation of social progress, as they have been able to move to the cities to work. Especially later, the urbanization ratio has become one of the indicators to measure whether a country is developed.

But not in China at the moment.

Not in the Northeast.

Not in Mukden.

Neither can Xinmin.

First, the degree of industrialization is very low, and there are not yet some factories that can accommodate a large number of workers, and agriculture is still the first choice for the vast majority of labor.

Second, historical experience has proved that it is still a rather arduous task to run rural areas, support agriculture, and stabilize peasants. As a pilot Xinmin County, it has only been broken, but it has not yet been established. It was relatively easy to divide the land administratively, but it was important for the upper echelons of Mukden to see the peasants' enthusiasm for farming. In this matter, "package production to households" is a method that has been proven effective in practice.

Fearing that the land-winning peasants who were hit by pie in the sky would not cherish this wealth and would end up selling their land to beg or become hired laborers in the future, Zhang Hanqing explicitly prohibited the sale of cultivated land in his decree and declared that all land belonged to the government and the collective. Peasants only have the right to use the land, but not ownership.

As an important think tank of Zhang's father and son, Liu Shangqing, Mo Dehui and others have a very strong concern about such reforms of the crown prince Zhang Hanqing, and also give a lot of suggestions. As for the situation of China's rural development after the "Xinmin Land Reform", many people only stay on paper and ideals. Even Liu Shangqing, who does not have communist ideas, and other people in the financial and financial circles, believe that when the financial resources of the private sector are insufficient, it is far more powerful for the state to guide the development of industry than for private individuals, and this is one of the reasons why he approves and appreciates Zhang Hanqing's establishment of the China Merchants Bureau and the use of this as a link to stimulate investment from all over the world.

In this order of development, and so on, their view was that since the landless peasants relied on the government to get their land, nationalization might be more conducive to the development of agriculture. So, is it time to do something similar to the collectivization of agriculture?

Zhang Hanqing said "no" in time.

At this stage, the quality of the peasants is far from being as enthusiastic as the people in the later "***" era, and the inferior nature of the peasants formed over the years is particularly obvious in China, and "eating in a big pot" has been proven to be unworkable. Zhang Hanqing's original intention was not entirely to feed the peasants, and charity could not change China's weak status quo. His aim was to earn a considerable remuneration from the land, which served as a basis for stimulating industry. Therefore, taking money from it, rather than sticking money, is the most important purpose at this stage.

Just one "Xinmin Land Reform" is enough to make Fengtian restless, and the people of Xinmin can eat enough for this, and reach the primary stage of people's livelihood in the simplest of the "Three Dishes of Cooking Righteousness" described by Sun Yat-sen.

It is necessary to know that according to the information of the Administrative Department of the Land Reform Commission, Xinmin County has about 1.05 million mu of cultivated land that can be cultivated, and simply according to the ratio of 1 out of 10 and the harvest of 200 catties per quarter per mu of land, the government alone can obtain 20 million catties of grain. What's more, there are some higher tax rates that are more than 1 out of 10.

Historically, before 1920, the average price of rice was 6 yuan per stone, calculated at 178 catties per stone, or 3.4 cents per catty. Converted into silver dollars, that's equivalent to 960,000 oceans! According to the estimated autumn grain harvest results in Xinmin County, if every county in Fengtian follows this approach, Zhang Zuolin is afraid that he can wake up with a smile in his sleep, right?

According to Marx's formulation in "Capital": At this stage, capitalism is far from reaching the time of decay and even extinction as declared in "Capital"; not only that, but socialist China in post-history will have to re-realize the drawbacks of this after many years of agricultural collectivization, and then return to the policy suited to China's national conditions. In that case, why take a detour? Why not take out the more advanced "package production to households" that has been proven to stimulate the enthusiasm of the peasants in farming?

The policy of "guaranteeing production to households" is the only way known to Zhang Hanqing, who mobilized the enthusiasm of the peasants: Imagine that at the beginning of reform and opening up, the peasants on the land of China supported this policy and generated great enthusiasm for the land, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the second liberation.

In fact, the advantages of this are enormous: on the one hand, the peasants' enthusiasm for production has been fully aroused, and the productive forces have been greatly liberated, which not only ensures that the state, but also private households have a large amount of surplus---- and the more they pay, the more they benefit; When the vast number of peasants have surplus grain in their hands, the government will give them appropriate commercial guidance, and the economy will be fully active and have the opportunity to promote the development of trade, which will be beneficial to both the country and the people.

In order to dispel the peasants' suspicions about the sudden change of the policy, the Xinmin District Government issued a land order to announce to the county that the land contract period of "contract production to households" is 20 years, and the original contractor has the priority to contract after the contract expires.

I really can't imagine how much unused creativity is contained in the vast countryside of China!

The peasants' pent-up passions for 2,000 years were completely vented in the Xinmin area. A year later in September 1917, after repaying the interest on land acquisition in the first year, the government revenue increased by 30 percent over the same period of the previous year, and grain output increased by more than 50 percent. This is partly because the peasants responded to the need for more work and more for their land, and invested great enthusiasm in their land; The other half is also due to the clearing of a lot of hidden land, which leads to an increase in tax revenue and production.

After the bumper harvest, the peasants who could finally take a breath for their support for this policy and their gratitude to the government, as well as the experience of the land reform of the new people, gave a huge shock to the high-level leaders of the Fengjun who were skeptical, especially Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Guo Songling and others. The peasants wholeheartedly support the land reform system, so they have an indescribable worship psychology for our Xiaozhang County Magistrate---- this is an immortal hero and a young hero descended from heaven!

It was he who saved the people from fire and water and let the people live a good life.

It was he who gave this good day a chance to continue.

Even when Zhang Hanqing left Xinmin and took a higher position, the people of Xinmin invariably gave him the gift of "taking off his boots", which was the best praise of the ancient people for the Qing officials who benefited one party for one term. In addition, there is also the "Wanmin Umbrella", which has received countless people, which is a later story.

What is even more rare is that the banditry that has plagued governments at all levels in western Liaoning and has been unable to eliminate it for many years has basically disappeared in the local area!

Because even the bandits know that the people of Xinmin love the government, and they have no place to live here; Xinmin's garrison is a well-known guard brigade, and they are very good at suppressing bandits. Not long ago, the Babu Zabu bandit army, which was still showing its teeth and claws, could not please even with the support of the Japanese, and the remaining more than 1,000 surviving bandit troops were under the supervision of the Guards Brigade to carry out the construction of water conservancy bridges and roads. In this case, as long as the head is not pumped, no bandit does not want to stay away.

After listening to the experience of the new people, enlightened officials from all over the country also asked the Fengtian Provincial Government to promote this method to all localities. Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing proposed to implement the experience of "new land reform" and "guaranteed production to households" in Fengtian, it was unanimously approved by the high-level of Fengtian, and the new policy in Northeast China, with agricultural progress as the forerunner, was first launched in Fengtian Province.

As a support for the pioneer and helmsman Zhang Hanqing, with the support of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing became the chairman of the "Fengtian Provincial Land Reform Committee"; The rising tide lifts all boats, and Guo Songling and Wang Yizhe, who have great assistance to Zhang Hanqing, have been promoted to vice chairmen; Han Shuxiu, director of the women's movement, became the concurrent secretary-general. With this as a sign, the people of the young marshal department began to ascend to the central center of the political arena of the Feng department.
