Chapter 600

Factory!

Factory means wealth!

In the first year of Kaihong, for the Chinese people who had just experienced the change of dynasty, the vast majority of people did not know what a factory was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But even so, they went through a lot of changes in the following years.

The first change was not even a change in the official system of the government, after all, it did not have a big impact on ordinary people. Rather, it was transportation, and many official roads that had fallen into disrepair began on a large scale, and although the new dynasty exempted many areas from land taxes, in return, the people had to serve up to a month and a half of military service every year during the winter leisure period. The renovation of roads is the most important labor in addition to water conservancy.

From the official road that fell into disrepair to the renovated official road, and then to the gravel road, the road condition has improved at the same time. The construction of railways is also in full swing, with the construction of railways, railways and official roads, plus river transportation structures in China to form a transportation network that has never been seen before, and this modern transportation network has immediately brought changes to people's lives.

When the local famine disappeared invisibly because of the advent of the railway, the small-scale peasant economy of men and women weaving for thousands of years was also hit by an unprecedented impact -- cheap woven cloth and yarn poured into the market, and cheap consumer industrial products were transported into the interior by rail, and the market was quickly occupied.

People's lives have changed because of the advent of railways, which have stimulated the development of the steel industry, as well as the development of retail and consumer industries. Because of this, the unprecedentedly broad market has made the factory the most fashionable industry and the most profitable industry after the first year of Kaihong, even in the five years of Kaihong, the same is true!

Set up a factory, run a machine factory! It's a good deal with no money!

"Hey! The price of land has fallen by a full three cents this month......"

In the Lin family's mansion, Lin Xinyu, who had just returned from the Land Office, couldn't help but sigh. Father's words made Lin Yuanshan suddenly excited, and he hurriedly said.

"Three cents? If the people in the public office don't think of a way, they won't be afraid that the drop is worthless! ā€

According to the land law promulgated by the empire, all land transactions must be carried out in the "land exchange office", and the land tax now collected is levied according to the land price. Although they were very resistant to such a designated public transaction, they had no choice but to accept it, because the land law clearly stipulates that the government will not recognize the transfer of land through non-public transactions. Because of this, if you want to sell it, you will list the land for transfer to the public office.

"What can the public do?"

mentioned the three cents that fell, Lin Xinyu complained for a while.

"It's not old Li's family, his surname Li is hanging 8,000 mu today, hanging 110,000, one mu is less than 14 yuan, he rushes like this, the public office can only lower the average price by three cents, or sell other land to whom? This ...... surnamed Li"

Complaining like this, Lin Xinyu lit his cigarette pouch, and his face was full of sadness.

"One acre of land is less than three cents, and it is estimated that we will have to sell more land......"

"Dad, he sold so much land at once, wouldn't this surnamed Li also want to set up a factory......"

His son's words made Lin Xinyu's heart suddenly tighten, the Li family sold so much land, definitely not just to exchange the land for bills and deposit them in the bank!

Compared with the boom of setting up factories, this land is getting cheaper and cheaper! frowned, if you regret it now, Lin Xinyu's last thing is that this land was sold too late! It would be better if it was sold two years earlier!

For those wealthy people who have several thousand acres of land, they have been in a hurry to sell their land in the past two years, for no other reason, and now the land is getting cheaper and cheaper year by year -- as a large number of landless and landless people have moved to the frontiers or to the colonies, the migration of millions of people has caused the government to sell tens of millions of mu of land to the middle peasants at a low price, which has directly impacted the land price and caused the land price to fall.

And this is not the most deadly, the most fatal thing is that many landlords slowly found that in the busy agricultural season, it is becoming more and more difficult to hire short-term workers, because a large number of landless and landless poor people have been relocated, resulting in a shortage of labor, and these people are the main source of short-term labor.

The shortage of short-term workers led to an increase in wages, and the increase in wages led to a decline in land revenues. And now the wages are getting higher and higher, because people are moving to other places every day, and the labor force is naturally getting less and less. At a time when the income from farming is getting lower and lower, two years ago, the land price tax implemented by the new land tax and the progressive taxation of land for households of more than 50 mu per capita have made land not only no longer wealth, but a burden. Even though that progressive tax has only doubled!

For the first time in thousands of years, land has become a burden. Seeing that farming is no longer profitable, many people have chosen to sell part of their land, and at this time, the move of some far-sighted landlords in Caidong to sell land to invest in industry has further led to a drop in land prices.

The land is becoming less and less valuable! The less valuable it is, the more it is sold, because it is more profitable to set up a factory, but it takes money to set up a factory, and the money can only be raised by selling land. The more you sell, the less valuable it is! It fell three cents on this day, and if it continued like this, it would not be cold for a few more years, and this land would be really worthless......

Thinking so in his heart, Lin Xinyu immediately instructed his son.

"Yuanshan, you hurry up and set down the people to recruit in the past two days, the factory must be done as soon as possible, and you must not let the Li family take the lead!"

Commanding his son, Lin Xinyu had already secretly made up his mind in his heart, this land must be sold, and the remaining more than 1,000 acres of land in the family can no longer be held in his hands, and he must sell it as soon as he is still worth a few dollars.

"There is one more thing, which is our ...... land"

Just when the father and son of the Lin family were discussing how to dispose of the land, in the land office, Ah Yue looked at his father when he was drawing the charge, and the flush on his dark face was revealed because he was too excited.

A red fingerprint was pressed up, which means that the contract has been signed, which is a loan land purchase contract. If the per capita land of a household is less than 10 mu, and the people who buy and sell cultivated land in the public office may apply for a mortgage loan from the peasant bank without paying cash, and use the purchased land as collateral. The loan is then repaid in installments over a period of 20 years.

Two years ago, when this loan model was implemented, many ordinary farmers could not accept it, they did not believe that there would be such a good thing in the world, and they could buy land without even taking a penny. But now, two years later, when one family after another buys a plot of farmland through loans, people are slowly embracing this method.

But even so, not everyone can accept it.

"Ah Yue, these thirty acres of land are ours now?"

The father looked at Ah Yue nervously, and there was some uncertainty in his tone.

"That's right, it's ours!"

"What if we can't pay it back?"

"You don't have to pay back, just pay 50% of the grain every year......

Within 20 years, the peasant households will provide fifty percent of the rent of the positive products for one year, and of course the land tax will also be borne by the peasant households. And in this way, for the next twenty years, the bank will be another "landlord".

By charging "fifty percent of the land rent", the banks obtained a large amount of grain, which could be supplied to more and more urban residents. In the process, the small farmers get the land, the landlords get the money, the banks get the real profits, and the government gets the ...... Well, a good tax was obtained, and of course there was the dismantling of the land wealth and the circulation of it, and of course the government needed to print a large amount of paper money, hundreds of millions of yuan in the process.

Of course, this money is not deposited in the bank, but continues to flow, turning into machinery, plants, ...... Tens of billions of dollars of wealth that were once imprisoned in the private sector will flow and become the fuel for the rise of the country. Of course, in the process, the government gets more and more taxes, and more importantly, the country is changing from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

For all this, Ah Yue didn't think so much, and only seventeen years old he couldn't think that the reason why he said that he would lobby his father to buy the land was because the conditions offered by the bank were really very favorable, although after selling the land, he needed to bear the land tax and fifty percent of the rent, which seemed to be a heavy burden, and almost had to take nearly eighty percent of the harvest to pay taxes and repay, which was more than the rent paid by the tenant farmers who were rich people, but the problem was that after twenty years, this land would become his own, which was the most important thing, the rich man's land, even if it was rented for a lifetime, it was also the rich man's land.

Moreover, this is only 50% of the positive product of the year. In Yingzhou, as long as fertilizer is supplied, you can plant two crops a year, and if you plant wheat, beans and sweet potatoes, you can even harvest three crops, and maybe you can pay off the loan in a few years.

"Daddy forgot, Daddy forgot...... Pay the rent for 20 years, and this land will belong to us, which is a great thing, hey, that is, the emperor and his old man always have us poor people in their hearts......"

As he spoke, the old man looked at the portrait of the emperor hanging on the wall of the office. The joints of his legs suddenly weakened, and he knelt down to the portrait, then kowtowed, and muttered the emperor's good in his mouth.

For this scene, the people in the public office have long been surprised, many people who bought land, will be grateful to His Majesty in their hearts, because this "Encouraging Land Purchase Law" is a decree issued by His Majesty, and even the largest shareholder of the Farmers Bank is the royal family, of course, only a very small number of economists know that through loans to support small farmers to buy land, the Farmers Bank can obtain hundreds of millions of rich profits in the next few decades, as the largest shareholder, the royal family, will naturally get rich returns.

Ordinary people did not know this, they only knew that without the emperor, they would never have been able to become "middle peasants" without food and clothing. That's why they are grateful to the emperor.

After signing the land purchase contract at the land office, Ah Yue came to the recruitment office set up by the Lin family, and lined up at the recruitment office, there were not many people here, but when he was queuing, there was a sudden news from there.

"The Li family wants to run a machinery factory in our Yingzhou Mansion, and Mrs. Li said, as long as it is a junior high school graduate who can pass the exam, as long as the exam passes, the Li family will pay to send it to the technical school in Nanjing to study for one year, and the top five will study for two years! After working for three years, if you still want to further your studies, the factory pays for three years of study at an engineering school in Hanyang! ā€

What the!

Listening to the words of the people next to him, he had already made up his mind to be a worker in the Lin family's yarn factory, but he was suddenly stunned by the conditions offered by the Li family.

This almost means that they were admitted to the engineering school - Hanyang's engineering school is famous all over the country, and the school does not train any workers, but all the engineers are trained, until now, Ah Yue still remembers that when Yingzhou Mansion repaired the railway station, the engineer who built the railway station, even the prefect in front of him, also looked very respectful, people are engineers, today's most noble profession - among the dukes awarded every year, thirty percent are engineers.

"If you go to the academy for a year, although they pay for tuition and food, it's not a good thing to not earn money for a year......

When others were still a little hesitant, Ah Yue left the Lin family without the slightest hesitation, and walked towards the Li family in Xicheng, he walked very fast, even running, the reason why he ran so fast was because he was afraid, afraid that he would be late, and the quota would be full.

However, this is obviously a bit unfounded, until Ah Yue arrived at the Li family, he found that there were not many people in the place in front of the Li family to sign up, not because the conditions they offered were not generous enough, but because their requirements were a little too high - those who signed up needed to show their graduation transcripts. For the exam, Ah Yue is naturally very confident, after all, when he took the normal exam, he fell on the list by one point, and the engineering hall in the provincial capital was thirty points lower than Shi Xiaofan.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine points!"

Li Cunliang looked at the exam report card in his hand, he simply couldn't believe his eyes. So much so that he deliberately raised his head to look at the person in front of him.

"It's no problem for you to get high school!"

"My family is poor and can't afford to go to ......"

For this answer, Li Cunliang does not feel unusual, after all, the vast majority of ordinary people's children cannot afford to go to high school.

"It's a pity that you get into the factory......"

Li Cunliang, who is a scholar, couldn't help but feel sorry for Ah Yue, looking at the teenager in front of him, and looking at the report card, the full score of mathematics, and the Chinese language that only scored 60 points...... Feeling pity in his heart, Li Cunliang said suddenly.

"I think it'...... so"
