Chapter 409: Gentle Land Reform
Social reform is an internal affair and the primary task of a country's government, but under the premise of foreign wars and the threat of external interference, it is easy to win the support of the overwhelming majority of the people.
It is said that more than 200,000 elements of the underworld forces and groups in the country have been captured, half of them have been executed, and extreme measures have been taken to mobilize the people, especially the victims, to tie up these evil fellows and beat them to death with sticks.
I just don't cut or stab, I have to knock you to death,
Luo Yang admitted that he had learned the early practice of New China, and he appreciated that practice very much, because it was precisely because of that practice that China had decades of social atmosphere and morality, except for certain political movements.
On the modern Internet, some forces are still attacking the three major movements in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, shouting and crying, thinking that the methods are cruel, etc., but there are also righteous materials showing that during the revolutionary period, the methods adopted by the white regime and forces against the people in the base areas were barbaric and terrifying, and the revolutionary red terror was not groundless.
Even the Zeng vassal clans also knew that they could brutally slaughter the Taiping army who "made rebellion", and it was not considered to be gentle and humble against Confucian culture.
Yes, Luo Yang used a few people, the organization that suppressed bandits and underworld forces was the State Administration of Public Security, the director was Qiu Yuancai, who was known as the fierce general of the Taiping Army, and the deputy director was Zeng Guoquan, this second Zeng shaved his head, and he was still very tough in his work style.
Anyone who is recognized as a wicked person by the majority of the people, who meets the policy standards, no matter who you are, will be brought to death immediately with a stick.
Therefore, many local tyrants and inferior gentry were killed, the underworld was eradicated, and the bloody revolutionary justice and terror swept away the underworld forces.
All this has won the hearts and minds of the people, and the people of the whole country have voted in favor of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, which has a tenacious, resolute, and conscientious style.
Naturally, not everyone, I want those suppressed guys and families to be completely praised, your head shows funny,
With regard to land policy,
The Luoyang government has taken a moderate approach, restricting,
For example, in the Jiangnan region, because the land is fertile and the grain yield is very high, it is stipulated that a family of five shall not occupy more than 50 acres of land, and all land exceeding 50 acres must be paid a special tax, which has also become a special tax for war contributions.
This is a restriction, in fact, it is very insidious, the state froze the sale of land, announced, anyone who dares to buy and sell land without permission on the date of the announcement of the decree, not to mention anything else, will not confiscate the land, not a penny will be left to you, secondly, the family property will not be collected,
It is the problem of the state's finances that it is fiercely confiscated and confiscated.
If you don't do it, you can, you can kill yourself, or, you can go abroad, such as immigrate to the United States, hehehe, don't blame the U.S. federal government for welcoming you with naval artillery, now, the two countries are at war,
The special tax on overtenure of land, the tax is surprisingly high, basically, your landlord will not make money because of the harvest year, on the contrary, most people will lose money,
Comparatively speaking, the amount of land tax under the special tax is ten times that of the normal.
In any case, in terms of reducing the Gini coefficient of society, the Luoyang government has made great efforts, anyway, he is a person from the bottom of the society, and he is naturally from the position of the common people.
An excess special tax on land property has almost brought back almost all the exemptions from the former harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
This, equivalent to the current vacant property tax, as long as a family of three more than one set of real estate, in the middle and lower cities where the real estate is worth 6,000 yuan per meter, you charge him 4,000 yuan a year for one square meter, does he dare to hoard Juqi?
Don't scold this strategy for being ruthless, the U.S. government is quite ruthless, the tax rate on houses is very high, and a house is equivalent to more than 20 years, even if you only have one set, it will be confiscated because of high taxes.
Luoyang resolutely does not expropriate land,
Expropriate the land and distribute it to the landless or landless people for free, no, Lao Tzu is not stupid,
Completely and directly confiscating the map land, giving the impression of unconditional deprivation, even if you succeed, decades later, the descendants of these guys will still be a little crooked for a good reason, because, property is arbitrarily deprived, how do you feel very,
In order not to intensify the contradiction and ensure the support of the landlords to the greatest extent, Luoyang adopted a restriction decree,
What is a special tax, war, you have money, you are rich, you have the largest social resources, let us protect your maximum share of security, pay more should not,
Because of this tax, it was immediately collected, so that the tax revenue of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom not only did not decrease because of the tax reform, but on the contrary, it actually overfulfilled the task.
After the special tax was collected, the Luoyang government announced that it would continue to collect it next year, and if there was opposition from the landowners, the land could be sold to the government, and the government would give the land to the people who had no land or little land.
Yes, the government is buying, there is no compulsion, if your family is rich, you can continue to pay taxes, but you are absolutely not allowed to give the land to others privately, once there is this behavior, it is judged to be illegal, then, you are unlucky,
The government also announced that anyone who is willing to sell his land to the state, according to the amount, will be rewarded by the government, a monetary reward, and the government will have no money, only honor, and you will be rewarded with a good citizen with a conscience, or a rich man of moral character, or something.
Many large landowners, after discovering the government's unscrupulous intentions, had no choice but to follow the trend and sell their surplus land to the government, but the price of the land sold was so low that it was almost given away for nothing.
Within two months, the government had taken almost most of the country's surplus land into its own hands, protected the basic interests of the landlords without leading to more extreme social measures, and then distributed the land to the landless or landless peasants.
Of course, at this time, for the unscrupulous elements in society, idle guys, also cracked down, there are indeed some landless and landless peasants, who are eating, drinking, and having fun and making a lot of money, then, the land given to you is not easy to manage, I rely on, you wait and see, every month by the people in the villages and towns to publicly evaluate, really scoundrels, sent to the government for labor reform, forced labor,
In the cities, too, there was a reorganization, and all those who did not have jobs were expelled back to their hometowns, or organized as future industrial workers for training, so isn't France getting a lot of factory machines?
For business administration in the cities, in the case of some tax increases, some taxes are also reduced, mainly to support industry and crack down on those parts of the economy that belong to the economic bubble.
This is a vigorous social movement, a mass movement, and the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom successfully completed this social change in the six months before and after the declaration of war against the United States, and won the support of the overwhelming majority of the people.
Of course, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom has also won a bumper harvest of fiscal revenues, so it can easily pay the funds for ordering naval ships abroad, and it can also subdue the expenses of the administrative and military systems, the huge social burden, and so on.
