Chapter 91 Cooperative construction of factories
At present, there are only 45 million mu of cultivated land in the four provinces, and the per capita cultivated land is less than one mu on a per capita basis. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What is even more problematic is that there are still nearly 10 million mu of land in Siqi Province that are in the hands of landlords who do not violate the law in a decent manner, so that there are still a lot of ordinary people in Siqi Province who need to rent land from landlords for farming.
The laws of the Han Kingdom clearly stipulate that the land under the name of an individual cannot exceed 100 acres, which means that the profession of landlord in Siqi Province will soon disappear, but the law also clearly stipulates that citizens' property is sacred and inviolable.
(The law does not apply to Yan Xueyi and the Yan family, but most of the land of the Yan family is directly given to the people, after all, the country belongs to the Yan family, and this land does not need to be cared about, but can make the people grateful to the Yan family)
Chinese have a kind of plot from ancient times to the present - land plot, people have money, they will use it to buy land, with land means that there is a guarantee of life, especially those big businessmen, who hold a lot of land in their hands and become big landowners.
The emergence of the big landlords means that the land in the hands of the ordinary people is reduced, or even there is no land, the big landlords can eat, drink and have fun every day, but the ordinary people are working hard to fill their stomachs, and it is good to say that the harvest year is good, at least the ordinary people do not starve to death, once there is a disaster year, the people who cannot eat can only gather to rebel, overthrow the landlord class, redistribute the land, and then the landlords continue to appear, and the cycle continues.
In China, where there is not much arable land per capita, a large number of landlords have caused bad consequences after they appear, and Yan Xueyi will not be unaware of such a thing, but the land plot has made landlords continue to appear on the land of China, and it is necessary to make people's land plots disappear in order to make the landlord's profession disappear.
But is it really that easy to solve?
In the end, Yan Xueyi decided to forcibly buy the excess land in the hands of the landlord at the market price, and then handed over the land to the landless people to cultivate, and the people need to pay 20% of the annual harvest, after three years of cultivation, the land will completely belong to the people, and there is no need to pay the 20% harvest every year.
But what about landlords who are forced to acquire land? What to do with the large amount of silver they have acquired from the acquired land, once this silver enters the market, it will be a huge blow to the economy of the four provinces.
In this regard, Yan Xueyi still has a solution, if there is no solution, he will not be forced to buy the landlord's land.
It is also very simple to solve the large amount of money held by the landlord - to cooperate in building factories.
The construction of factories in cooperation with landlords belongs to the industrial chapter of the five-year development plan of Siqi Province.
In the industrial chapter of the Five-Year Development Plan of Siqi Province, Yan Xueyi decided to vigorously develop the industry of Siqi Province, so that the industry, agriculture and commerce of Siqi Province are equally important.
In modern and modern times, the industrial level of a country can represent its specific strength, because Yuanhe City has established an industrial base, so Yan is not afraid of the Manchu Qing at all, but occupies the entire Siqi Province in a short period of time, if the Yan family develops basic industries in the entire Siqi Province, then Yan Xueyi overthrows the Manchu Qing Dynasty to unify the whole country and proclaim the emperor The time will come soon, even if the time comes to face the siege of the great powers, Yan Xueyi can also face it calmly.
However, if you want to develop industry in an all-round way in Siqi Province, you can't just talk about it.
It took Yan Xueyi a full decade to develop basic industries in Yuanhe City, and there is not much trouble to talk about.
And now it is to develop industry in the whole four provinces, there are too many things that need to be done, first of all, qualified workers, no, there are a large number of qualified workers in Yuanhe City, but they all work in factories in Yuanhe City, how can they easily change places, unless they are paid high salaries to poach people, but it is not worth it.
Therefore, it takes time to train a large number of workers to build a factory in other parts of the province, otherwise it will not work if there is no one to control the machine.
In addition to training qualified workers, there are many other things that need to be solved, such as the materials needed to build the factory, the machines needed by the factory, and the management personnel of the factory.
For Yan Xueyi, the above problems are relatively easy to solve, and in the end, only two most important problems remain, one is funding, and the other is manpower.
Fund?
Yan's wealth is a lot, he has hundreds of millions of taels of silver in his hands, and he can also print banknotes "casually", but in the face of the huge four provinces, Yan's is a little powerless, and he needs money everywhere, and of course he needs money to develop industry, so there is a problem of insufficient funds.
(The financial problems of the Yan family and the Han kingdom will be mentioned in the later chapters, and can be temporarily regarded as the wealth of the Yan family is the wealth of the Han kingdom, or that the Yan family and the Han kingdom are one)
Manpower?
Everyone knows that there is a shortage of manpower everywhere in the Han Kingdom, so that the town government is understaffed.
However, the landlords who are forced to acquire the land, who have both the capital and the manpower in their hands, are obviously a very good partner.
Yan's machinery and equipment are out of technology, and the landlord is out of the money, so won't the factory be built?
In this province where everything is in ruins, doesn't building a factory mean that you can make a lot of money? Aren't the landlords still impressed?
At the beginning, the Yan clan and other forces set up all kinds of factories throughout the country to earn a lot of silver, and as the rumors that the Yan clan was rich and rivaled the country spread throughout the country, those rumors and landlords also knew that setting up a factory meant waiting to make money.
The landlord who only had a lot of silver left in his hand would not choose to sit on the empty side, but cooperate with the Yan family to build a factory, so that he could make money and not buy land after making money, so he could expand the scale of the factory, or build a new factory to earn more money, so that the landlord could turn the land plot into a "factory plot".
Gan's cooperation with the landlord to build the factory was the best of all plans.
The landlords can make money, the industry of Siqi Province has been developed, the Yan family can also make money, the factory workers can feed the family, the people of Siqi Province can buy more cheap goods, the landlords, the cabinet, the Yan family, the workers, and the common people can all get huge benefits, and in the end what they get is a Han Kingdom with strong industrial strength, not only do they not need to worry about the Manchu Qing, even if it is the major powers, it is not good in the hands of the Han Kingdom.
These plans are still on paper for the time being, before the Han army occupied Siqi Province and killed so many landlords, so that the remaining landlords were noisy, and if you want the landlords to cooperate with the Yan family, you still need to do a good job of the landlords.
Another advantage is that the Yan family does not need to spend too much money to buy the land in the hands of the landlord, and instead turns into exchanging machinery and equipment for land.
