Chapter 279: Hoarding

Jiang Baili immediately said: "Judging from the current situation, the grain supply in the counties and cities of the three northeastern provinces is in short supply, and the price of grain is soaring. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, it cannot be ruled out that some businessmen have made trouble in this process, hoarded and made a fortune in the country, and these people must have a lot of grain in their hands.

In addition, 99 percent of the land in the three northeastern provinces of our country is in the hands of the landlords and gentry, but it is tens of thousands of tenants who really pay taxes and grain.

There is not much grain left in the hands of the common people, but the absolute amount of grain hoarded in the homes of these large and small landlords and squires is amazing. ”

Before Jiang Baili finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan looked at him in surprise and said: "Chief of Staff, = pig = pig = island = novel, do you mean to fight local tyrants and divide the land?" What is the policy of GCD in the Northeast? ”

GCD had already carried out an agrarian revolution in Jiangxi, and it was not surprising that he Jiang Baili could put forward such an idea.

It's just that Jiang Baili's beliefs and ideas are neither Three People's Doctrine nor Communism in history? How could such an idea come up with so suddenly?

In this way, it means that the Northeast Frontier Army will become independent from the Nationalist Government, which is definitely not a good thing for China at present.

As for carrying out the agrarian revolution in the northeast, Zhang Xinghan did not want to distribute the land to the broad masses of the people as evenly as possible, so that the people could truly be self-reliant for a long time.

This is an extremely correct policy, as history has long proven.

If you want to make the country strong, you must first hide the wealth from the people, and the people can't eat enough, so what else can we talk about the rejuvenation of a strong country? Pure.

As a traverser, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Xinghan not to know such a simple truth.

But the time is not yet ripe for forced land reform to violate the real interests of the middle and upper classes in the northeast.

Not to mention anything else, his Zhang family has fertile land in Shenyang, and if he wants to carry out an agrarian revolution, he must first change the life of his son Zhang Yuxi.

Although the work of his father is easy to do, the other large and small landlords in the entire Northeast region are not so simple.

Once it is not handled well, it will greatly damage the vitality of the entire three northeastern provinces.

In Zhang Xinghan's vision. It is intended to maintain the current situation first, develop slowly, and promote agriculture with the rapid development of commercial industry.

When the time comes, land reform can be carried out through certain policies and economic compensation.

For example, when these large and small landlords and tyrants want to do business and participate in all walks of life in the three northeastern provinces, they must give up their land at the price.

In Zhang Xinghan's blueprint, the three eastern provinces will be built into the most prosperous regions in the whole of Northeast Asia and even in Asia.

Industry, commerce will be extremely developed, especially the military industry and related light and heavy industries.

Of course, it is necessary to make the landlords and old wealth give up the land on which they have depended for their livelihood. The price paid for the conditions offered will certainly not be small.

But no one understands better than Zhang Xinghan that in the long run, land is the most valuable, and it is worth it to solve the problem of food and clothing for 30 million people, even if it costs a lot.

And when the time comes, Zhang Xinghan can promise huge profits, similar to loans, to tie the landlords and tyrants to the chariot of the army.

Make up for their lost interests through foreign wars. Somewhat similar to the colonial policies of previous centuries.

I saw Jiang Baili shake his head and said, "The commander misunderstood." Fighting local tyrants, dividing land, and carrying out an agrarian revolution are GCD's policies. Baili has vowed to serve the country and the nation in the future since the year of the weak crown, and never asks about political matters.

He is only concerned about national defense construction. How can you instigate the commander-in-chief to do things to split the country?

In the future, if we don't care about it, at least for now, the Chinese nation needs a unified and complete government that is united with the outside world. ”

There was a pause. Jiang Baili said: "So Baili means to buy grain from these landlords and tyrants who hold a lot of grain to alleviate the shortage of food supply."

Meantime. The military police forces in all localities were strictly ordered to make every effort to investigate whether the merchants in various localities had committed suspicious hoarding behaviors, and once discovered, they were sentenced to serious crimes and confiscated all the food and money found. ”

"But what if the people refuse to sell their grain?" Zhang Xinghan said.

"As long as our price is right, the people will sell it to us, and the commander-in-chief doesn't know that our Northeast New Army now has a very good reputation among the people. Moreover, no one wants to go against the government. Jiang Baili said firmly.

"Are we financially well-off?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

"I have to ask Minister Zang about this, even if it is not enough, can you still pay on credit, as long as there is an IOU from the commander-in-chief, the people will not have any worries." Jiang Baili said with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan also smiled, nodded and said: "Brother Baili, this is to make me the one who owes the debt, so I can say that everything is important in the overall situation, so I will do it." ”

"By the way, regarding the official reorganization of the entire army of our Northeast New Army into the Northeast Frontier Army and many other matters, Chief of Staff, you have to bother more.

The number of troops, personnel, logistics equipment, etc., I will let Minister Zang Shiyi Zang fully assist and cooperate with you.

Once it has been drafted, it can be reported to me in the form of a document. Zhang Xinghan said.

"Okay, please rest assured, Commander, I'll do it." Jiang Baili happily accepted the order.

Sinuiju, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

After listening to the adjutant's report, Inukai Ichiro suddenly became furious: "Yagaya Road, it must have been done by the people of China pretending to be the imperial army." ”

The adjutant bowed his head tremblingly and said, "Sir, what should we do now?" The Korean people's hatred of the Imperial Army has increased, and the most important thing is that the large and small villages in Sinuiju are facing food shortages, and if they are not resolved in time, unexpected things may happen. ”

Inuyoichiro's angry face was pale, his whole body trembled, his fists clenched his muscles violently, and finally he held back his anger and said: "The Imperial Army of the Goryeo people is not responsible, and the garrisons are ordered everywhere, if there are Goryeo people who dare to make trouble, they will all be killed!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant didn't dare to refute, so he had to bow his head and answer.

……………………

Harbin is the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties in history, and in 1115 A.D. Jin built the capital in Acheng District, Harbin.

By the end of the 19th century, Harbin had dozens of villages and about 30,000 residents, and economic factors such as transportation, trade, and population began to expand, laying the foundation for the formation and development of the city.

Today, Harbin is known as the Moscow of the East, and is the economic center of the entire North Manchurian region.

Because it was the birthplace of the Manchu Dynasty, Harbin also had the most Manchu landlords.

100 percent of the land in the entire Harbin area was basically controlled by the old and young of the Manchu Qing dynasty and later the new warlord landlords.

Due to Harbin's special location and prosperous economy, there are many businessmen here, and it is also the most serious area for hoarding.

After getting Zhang Xinghan's approval, Jiang Baili immediately found Zang Shiyi, the current logistics minister of the Northeast New Army, and started from Harbin, instructing the Harbin police and gendarmes to start investigating and negotiating with the landlords and tyrants about the purchase of grain.

Wu Qingzhong is a well-known landowner in Acheng District, Harbin, and his family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land on the banks of the Songhua River, and he has stored grain for several lifetimes.

At the same time, there is also a large industry in Harbin, and he is a celebrity of the upper class of Harbin society.

Secretly, Wu Qingzhong was a die-hard loyalist of the Manchu Dynasty and a remnant of the Zongshe Party.

Coupled with the encouragement and support of the Japanese, Wu Qingzhong is now the underground leader of the Manchu remnants in Harbin.

After Pu Yi was executed for treason, the remnants of the Zongshe Party led by Wu Qingzhong have been secretly contacting other comrades in the northeast and Guannai.

Intending to find an opportunity, he rebelled.

This time, the food supply in the North Manchurian region was in short supply, and the war consumption was certainly one thing, but to a large extent, it was Wu Qingzhong's gang of Manchu remnants who secretly fueled the troubles and instigated fellow businessmen to buy grain in advance with them.

Hoarding Juqi in order to achieve their goal of creating chaos and bringing down the Northeast New Army.

Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi began to investigate, and it was naturally impossible for Wu Qingzhong not to know.

In a secret room in Wu's mansion, Wu Qingzhong and several representatives of landlords and businessmen in Harbin were plotting together.

"Colleagues, according to the information I have received, Zhang Xinghan has sent people to investigate whether the merchants in various places have hoarded Juqi, and if they are discovered, they will be punished as felonies and confiscated all food and money.

And Harbin was taken as the first target by them. Wu Qingzhong's words came out.

The representatives of the businessmen and landlords present all broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and they were anxiously discussing: "What can I do about this?" ”

"Looks like we need to hurry up and get rid of the food in our hands, so as not to get into trouble."

"Everyone, please be calm." Wu Qingzhong saw it in his eyes and raised his hand to stop the people who were a little flustered.

He said to them: "As I just said, according to the secret report I have received, Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army, has already issued a strict order to the people below. ”

"Brother Wu, what should we do then? You can't just sit back and wait for you to find out, right? A fat-headed and big-eared landlord said with a hurried face.

"Hey, Brother Wu, before I came, I heard that the Northeast New Military Government was planning to purchase grain from the major squires and landlords at a high price. Shall we resell the grain to them?

In this way, guilt is avoided and a lot of money can be made. Another fat landowner with a pair of rat eyes said suddenly.

"Brother Jiansheng, are you telling the truth?" Other merchants and landlords were immediately curious and asked one after another.

Wu Qingzhong looked at the landlord named Zhu Jiansheng, nodded slightly and said, "This is indeed the case, but as you are, if you suddenly take out so much grain to sell?" How can it not arouse suspicion? ”

"yes, yes, we should think of the best of both worlds." Representatives of merchants and landlords nodded their heads.

"In my opinion, if you want to avoid the suspicion of the Northeast New Army, you can only hide the eyes and ears of the people by handing over the grain to the people who have the grain in store to sell on their behalf." Zhu Jiansheng looked at Wu Qingzhong and said.
