“…… American inventor McCormick designed and built the first combine harvester pulled by two horses, which has a harvesting efficiency of more than 30 people, and since then, McCormick has been committed to the improvement and manufacture of combine harvesters, and now can harvest 100 acres of farmland in a day......"

Putting down the newspaper in her hand, Rong Minghui looked at Zhu Yifeng, who looked smug over there, and suddenly said in an extremely serious tone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"You're shaking them!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Yifeng, who was holding her son, looked at Rong Minghui with a smile, and Xu Lingyun on the side also looked at this sister with surprised eyes, although she hoped that the princess would take a concubine, but after Rong Minghui entered the door, she could always feel that this woman was threatening to herself, she was too smart, and she could help Xianggong in many things, but in contrast, she couldn't help anything.

"Before, you said that you used factories to absorb rural idle labor, and then you said that all rural laborers were outflowing, and the land would be uncultivated at that time, and then you mentioned that this horse-drawn harvester was simply a gentry in the shaking place!"

Feeling that her sister was resistant to herself, Rong Minghui regretted it a little, regretting why she had to mention this matter here.

"That's right!"

If Zhu Yifeng was in front of outsiders, he would definitely not admit it, but in front of his family, he didn't want to hide his true thoughts.

"It's just shaking them!"

Zhu Yifeng, who was holding his son, laughed while teasing his son.

"If they weren't so shaken, how would they take the initiative to sell the land? If they don't sell their land, how can they concentrate the private capital on industry and commerce? ”

Compared with the goal of "the cultivator has his land", Zhu Yifeng attaches more importance to the transfer of private capital to industry and commerce. A normal country follows the path of industrial upgrading of agriculture, light industry, and heavy industry. This path of development had a spark at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but was later blocked by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now, 200 years after that opportunity was missed, it is necessary to use certain means to induce the gentry to turn their attention from the land to industry and commerce, and to invest capital in industry and commerce, so as to solve the problem of surplus labor at all.

"But not everyone will believe your words, and besides, everyone knows that what you said in the Tobe Academy may take decades to appear."

Rong Minghui's brows were tightly locked, she naturally knew that Xianggong's words were not alarmist, or even exaggerated. But what he said will happen decades from now, and not everyone will have that vision.

"It does take decades!"

Handing his son to his wife beside him, Zhu Yifeng looked at Rong Minghui and said seriously.

"The development of industry and commerce and the implementation of urbanization cannot be completed in ten or eight years. Without thirty or forty years, or even fifty or sixty years, it will be difficult to achieve this goal, and it will also be necessary to adjust policies according to changes in the environment. ”

"Adjust the policy?"

"That's right! The government must guide this process so that it can promote the development of industry and commerce without affecting the agricultural ......."

The insight through time and space allows Zhu Yifeng to have too much experience to learn from.

"Especially now, there are millions of surplus laborers in the three provinces, and tens of millions in the whole country, what should we do with these people? How can factories attract so many laborers,"

Rong Minghui looked at Zhu Yifeng with some concern, now these people are the problem of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the future, these people will be his problem, and it will also be the problem of her and her children.

"If the time comes, they will incite rebellion."

Xu Lingyun, who was coaxing her son on the side, listened to Rong Minghui's words, her heart suddenly tightened, and she looked at Xianggong a little nervously, but her nervousness was only for a moment, and in her opinion, there was no problem that could stump Xianggong.

"Hmmm......"

Looking at the worry revealed in Rong Minghui's pretty face, Zhu Yifeng smiled.

"What's wrong with that? Isn't Guangzhou doing it now? ”

What is Guangzhou doing?

Rong Minghui looked at Zhu Yifeng puzzled, did she leave Guangdong for too long, what was she doing over there?

"North Borneo!"

Slowly spit out these four words, looked at Rong Minghui and Zhu Yifeng with a smile and said.

"Huihui, why have you forgotten our own property. Don't forget that our plantation now employs hundreds of long-term workers. ”

The moment she opened her eyes wide, Rong Minghui immediately said!

"What do you mean by immigration?"

"That's right, it's immigrants!" The idea of "the cultivator has his land" is really good, there are many ways to achieve it, immigration is the best way, like now Guangdong can be like North Borneo, to the South Seas, where the land is so big that it can accept millions of poor people, of course, even if there is no Borneo, we have other places, such as the Northeast. ”

Noticing that Rong Minghui didn't seem to know where the Northeast was, Zhu Yifeng explained.

"The northeast is Kanto, the Manchus said that it was their land of Longxing, so it was banned for two hundred years, and the population was even less than one million, in fact, the place in Liaodong was the land of our Han people in Kyushu, and the reason why Emperor Yang of Sui and Taizong of Tang wanted to conquer Goryeo was to recover the land of Kyushu in Liaodong."

Zhu Yifeng, who felt a little off topic, returned to the original topic.

"There are hundreds of millions of acres of uncultivated wasteland in the Northeast, and at least 300 million acres of land that can be cultivated, but now there are only one billion acres of cultivated land in the Guannai, and according to the calculation of three acres per capita, 100 million immigrants can be resettled in the Northeast, of course, the actual resettlement may only be tens of millions, but the immigration of tens of millions of people to the Northeast fundamentally solves the problem of surplus labor."

Of course, the problem of land is solved, and even if industry and commerce cannot absorb all the surplus labor, it is enough to solve the problem of people and land by immigrating to Northeast China, Xinjiang, Hetao, Mongolia, Binhai, Ezo, Kuye Island and other places. Not to mention the South Seas and Africa to absorb immigrants. Of course, overseas immigration is not as convenient as Kannai immigration.

"So these people really aren't a problem?"

For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was a problem, but for himself, Zhu Yifeng said a little lazily.

"What's the big question now? We need to build railways, build ships, and build docks, and only by improving transportation will it be possible to get as much surplus labor as possible to where they are needed. ”

"If ......"

Xu Lingyun, who had been listening to Xianggong and Rong Minghui talking to her, said a little timidly.

"What if they don't want to go? After all, they are all uprooted from their homeland. ”

In fact, even Xu Lingyun herself, who came to Wuchang with her husband from Shanghai, has a feeling of leaving her hometown. Not to mention those ordinary people.

"How dare they not go!"

Without waiting for the public to answer, Rong Minghui's brows raised slightly.

"If Canton can prohibit begging and exile beggars to North Borneo, how dare they refuse to send the landless to the outside of the Guan, give them arable land, and give them cattle and sheep! It is up to them whether they will go or not when the time comes. ”

Looking at Rong Minghui's pretty eyebrows and cold erection of her words, listening to her merciless words, Zhu Yifeng even had the idea of giving her a thumbs up.

It's really up to them whether they go or not. Just like land reform, the landlord can not be allowed to change it or not. People are more desperate for profit.

"The means must be hard!"

Nodding, Zhu Yifeng looked at his wife and said.

"But it can't be completely forced, it has to be done step by step, for example, in the future, you can first move those destitute peasant households, which is what Guangdong is doing now,"

When it came to what was being done in Guangdong, Zhu Yifeng's heart suddenly felt a burst of relief, he just needed to wake up, he Li Ziyuan, knew what to do! After banning begging and banishing young beggars, in order to solve the labor problem in North Borneo, he set his eyes on the destitute people in the city and the countryside, many of whom were ruffians, gamblers, aggressive, in short, all kinds of problems in one. Although they are extremely poor, they are not necessarily the "disadvantaged group" in the village, but most of these people are fierce and fierce, and because of this, they can be said to be the most suitable group of people to emigrate overseas, because they are not afraid of death, because they are fierce and fierce.

In other words, they dare to fight and have combat effectiveness. When such a person goes to Nanyang and overseas colonies, he will not suffer a loss when facing the local natives, and he will be able to gain a foothold in the local area. The immigration path of countries around the world is not pioneered by this kind of people, and if ordinary people are used as soon as they come up, they may be bullied by the local natives.

"Send these people away first, of course, you can use collective reform and other similar excuses to move out, so that ordinary people will welcome it, just like Guangdong has no resistance now, in the eyes of the local people, it is equivalent to the government helping them get rid of these scourges, such a good thing, how can the people not like it......"

It's like "Finally they finally came at me, but no one spoke for me anymore." In the same way, the mentality of mankind has always been like this, and now it is the people who are being relocated to the most destitute people, many of whom are ruffians, so the people are happy, they will get used to it, they will accept it. In the future, when the ordinary poor are moved, they will also get used to it and accept it, and the middle peasants will rejoice that they are not middle peasants, just as the poor people today will rejoice that they are not destitute people or beggars.

"Every man sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others, until it is their turn......"

Shaking her head and sighing, Rong Minghui looked at her husband in front of her, and sighed again at the sinking of his scheming, she just saw it, they couldn't go away, but what he thought of was "doing good things" and letting the people be willing to drive it.

"Actually, it's a good thing, but they can't see it." Instead of barely making ends meet in your hometown, why not just go outside and have a good time? This mentality ......."

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Yifeng said in a rather helpless but serious tone.

"Their mentality remains the same, so I have to do everything possible to help them change, after all, this is not the same!" (To be continued.) )
