Tragedy calls! Yesterday, I wanted to revise the book from beginning to end to improve my reading fluency, but the background was directly locked, the chapters could not be uploaded, and the editor was on holiday again.

I just got through the phone call of the editor-in-chief, and it was done.

The belated first update!

――――

At the same time as building the artillery regiment, Xia Jun asked the General Staff to delineate on the map the possible landing sites when he landed in Fujian, and to survey the terrain in these areas, so that the map had to be drawn carefully.

Although Xia Jun's artillery regiment was established in a hurry, as long as it was trained for a period of time, coupled with the advanced battlefield communication system and Fujian's terrain and superior rate of fire, it was completely capable of confronting the artillery of Yueben.

This is his greatest advantage, as long as the infantry has artillery support, then it is not a problem to dig the fortifications carefully and drive Xiao Yuben into the sea.

The training of the 1st Fujian Division was also turned into the excavation of fortifications by Xia Jun, and in this era when the artillery surname can be continuously strengthened, the infantry without the protection of fortifications is basically a dead end.

It is not enough to dig the fortifications casually, but they must be carefully built, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the pouring of shells.

The first division was quickly put into the training of fortifications, and there was not much training in this area, and it was just casual training in the past, because Xia Jun felt that the enemies he had to face in the near future were only the Manchus and local warlords, and the possibility of a conflict with Xiao Yueben was not large, so the demand for this aspect was not great, and it was not too late to train in the future.

However, now that the situation has changed, the plan cannot catch up with the changes, and the first division has an urgent need for fortifications, otherwise it will suffer a big loss once it fights with the army.

The first division began to hold sapper shovels and build fortifications under the command of officers, and the cement used to build fortifications was the special cement that Xia Jun exchanged from the exchange platform, which was specially used to resist artillery shells, and the defensive strength was five times that of ordinary cement.

The fortification construction exercise began, and the 1st Division was to repair the fortifications in three days before withdrawing from its positions.

Subsequently, the fortifications built by the battalions began to be inspected, and the methods of inspection included direct fire from rapid-fire guns and howitzers.

This will be followed by a second exercise, which will reduce the fortification construction time to two days for the second exercise and one day for the third exercise.

There is still time to practice, but there is no time to practice on the battlefield, and once you don't repair well, you will get the price of blood.

When Xia Jun was busy preparing for the war, Fujian's summer harvest also entered the final stage, and with the summer harvest passing, the people's sentiment continued to rise.

This year's summer harvest in Fujian can be described as a bumper harvest, the crops in the fields are like crazy growth, in this scorching summer, the hearts of the people are as hot as this weather, whether it is the landlord or the tenant farmer, in this summer are happy.

However, in contrast, the landlords are still disappointed that the "Provisional Regulations on Agricultural Production" suddenly issued by the autonomous government axe a month ago.

The regulations stipulate that the landlord's tenant rent shall not exceed 50 catties of rice per mu, and this rent is similar to before.

In this era, there was a great contradiction between landlords and tenant farmers, most of the means of production were in the hands of landlords, there were not too many yeoman farmers, and most of the peasants were tenant farmers who rented land.

Xia Jun naturally could not come to a policy of evenly dividing the acres of land, once the acres of land were evenly divided, it would inevitably cause poor people, Xia Jun first pursued the personal output value in agriculture, and only when the personal output value went up, the peasants would really become rich.

The increase in personal output is first limited by the size of the land, so the land must be annexed to a certain extent, and those who have lost their land can be converted into an industrial population, and the industrial population must also pursue personal output and welfare, so that the workers will be rich.

But these are still floating clouds for the time being, and the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time.

What Xia Jun could not tolerate in dealing with these landlords was that they were parasitic on tenant farmers, so he issued the "Interim Regulations on Agricultural Production" to restrain the landlords.

The reason why the maximum land rent was set at 50 catties of rice was to take into account that the Xinhai Revolution had not yet begun, and once the interests of the landlord class were moved, it would not be conducive to stabilizing people's minds.

Xia Jun had already planned that once the Xinhai Revolution broke out, new agricultural production regulations would be introduced to limit the landlord's rent to 10 catties of rice.

In this way, the landlord could not make a profit by renting the land, and there was no problem of parasitic on the tenants.

In this case, although the landlord still has the means of production, he cannot squeeze others, and the only means of getting rich is to hire long-term laborers, that is, it is equivalent to hiring workers to carry out production, which is equivalent to running his own business, rather than leaving nothing to the tenants to plant, and then waiting for the grain to be harvested with his feet crossed.

At this stage, the minimum wage regulations must be introduced, and the wages of long-term workers must be comparable to those of workers, and at the same time, Xia Jun can also tax these landlords, and the tax can be set higher.

The wages of long-term workers are regulated, and as the wages in industry rise, the cost of production increases, so that farmers must invest in advanced production machinery for production, otherwise they will not be able to survive under higher taxes. And those landlords who could not keep up with the pace of the times, in addition to selling their land, could only be taxed to bankruptcy.

In this way, the land regulation and control of the whole country will be completed, and after the completion of the regulation and control, agriculture will be merged to a relatively high degree to form farms, and these farms will use advanced production technology, and the personal output value will reach a relatively high level.

In this process of regulation and control, most of the landlords will be eliminated, because not all landlords can keep up with the pace of development in this era.

Instead, it is highly likely that a professional production team that has mastered advanced production technology and emerged in the form of a company will carry out 'intensive' professional management of the land, and Xia Jun also tends to replace the original landlords with agricultural companies.

The reason why China in later generations could not develop in this way was because there were too many people, and the land was simply not enough, so it could only sacrifice personal output value and use intensive cultivation for production.

However, the Chinese population in this era is only 400 million, and Xia Jun has agricultural productivity that is even stronger than that of later generations, and he can fully pursue personal output value.

There is a long way to go in agricultural regulation and control, and it is not possible to complete it in two or three years, at least but slowly, step by step, and it may take more than 10 years to complete such regulation and control.

This kind of regulation and control should also take into account the level of industrial development, if industrial development cannot keep up, and the indiscriminate regulation and control will lead to the peasants being unable to turn into industrial population, which will lead to the peasants becoming unemployed.

Therefore, this kind of regulation depends to a large extent on the demand for labor in the industrial and service industries.

The urbanization of later China was relatively deformed, and later China has always neglected rural construction and invested in urban construction.

This has led to a serious problem of not being able to retain people in the countryside, while the cities do not need so many people, resulting in a false and deformed urbanization.

True urbanization should be to put the rural areas and cities on the same level to build, so that the rural areas can retain people, and the rural population will not be flocked to the cities.

In the cities, because of the need for labor due to the development of industry, they have to improve the treatment of workers in order to attract the agricultural population to the industrial population.

If the countryside can't keep people, and people are flocking to the cities, then why should factories improve workers' salaries? Anyway, if you don't do it, someone else will do it!

If the factories raise their salaries, the population will naturally move to the cities, and if the profits of the factories are not enough to support them in raising their salaries, then further urbanization will stop.

But if the factory can survive, then the pace of urbanization will inevitably increase, and this urbanization is the real urbanization.

Of course, China in later generations had no scientific and technological advantages, and the development of industry could only survive by squeezing the value of workers, and once it left the demographic dividend, the factories could not compete with the factories of developed countries.

At this time, the situation faced by Xia Jun was somewhat different from that of China in later generations, and although the science and technology of Western countries were much more advanced in China, it was not impossible to catch up.

Even if Xia Jun doesn't have to use this exchange platform to develop industry, there is still a century before the next generation, and he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up for such a long time?

And Xia Jun's plan is to surpass European and American countries within ten years!
