Chapter 1961 Immigration

The north wind is sluggish, the temperature is dropping, and as far as the eye can see, it seems that even the white clouds on the horizon have become soot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the streets of Nanjing, the osmanthus flowers transplanted in the first two years have fallen overnight, but the golden chrysanthemums in the street garden are in full bloom, indicating that the cold winter is coming.

Xilu Study, Zhejiang. Province. Chairman Huang Shaohong sat opposite Chairman Jiang and Chairman Jiang, and in the fragrance of the wisps of fragrance wafting in from the window open to the garden, Huang Shaohong introduced Zhejiang. Provincial industrial and agricultural development.

As of June this year, Zhejiang has 28 cotton mills, 136 silk reeling mills, 64 flour mills, 22 match factories, 64 paper mills, seven cigarette factories, 15 cement factories, 35 oil mills, and 16 sugar factories. It shows a situation of prosperity in industry and commerce.

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's satisfied look, Huang Shaohong, who first reported good news and then bad news, began to complain of bitterness:

"Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, although Zhejiang's industry and commerce have developed greatly, and the taxes paid to the central government are increasing every year, the problems of agriculture and rural areas are becoming more and more prominent. In the past two years, even if we have provincial. The government has done its best, but it is still unable to absorb the steady stream of agricultural bankrupt people from all over the rural areas of Zhejiang, and we have tried every means, such as cash-for-work, building farmland and water conservancy projects, increasing urban infrastructure projects, etc., but now Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and other cities are still filled with a large number of landless farmers who have gone to the city to find jobs, if we do not find a way to solve it as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be used by people with intentions, and there will be large-scale civil unrest! ”

Chiang Kai-shek's smile froze suddenly.

At first, he was quite happy, after all, Huang Shaohong's achievements in governing Zhejiang are obvious to all, and every time he goes back to Fenghua in Zhejiang to worship his ancestors, he will feel the new changes in Zhejiang, and he recognizes Huang Shaohong's ability. However, he never thought that behind the glamorous appearance, there would be such a sensational hidden danger.

Seeing Huang Shaohong's serious expression, Chiang Kai-shek asked with some surprise: "Ji Kuan, what caused a large number of peasants in the countryside to go bankrupt?" ”

"The chairman doesn't know about this?"

Huang Shaohong asked in shock, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's right, it is the disposition of many people to report good news and not bad news, and they are afraid that they will be held accountable if something goes wrong, so they simply cover up the problem, but can such a big thing be covered up?"

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was a little impatient, Huang Shaohong explained in detail:

"Originally, the landlord in the countryside and the tenant farmer who rented the land were inseparable from each other, and no one could do without whom, the land belonged to the landlord, and he hoped that the land would produce more, and the tenant farmer would pay more rent and earn more, while the farmer rented the land and hoped to pay less rent, and it was best to leave enough food to maintain the family's food and clothing and other expenses.

"It is human nature to pursue profits, landlords always want to maximize their own interests, and although the tenant farmers pay a high proportion of rent, they have to keep part of the grain for their own use every year, and it is also a large amount over the years. It just so happened that Nanhua's machinery factory produced seeders and harvesters that could save a lot of manpower, and the landlord's family operated hundreds of acres of land, sowing and autumn harvest could be easily done in a week, and it was enough to ask a few long-term workers to take care of the fields on weekdays, so that the tenant farmers who rented the landlord's land lost the foundation of survival and were ruthlessly abandoned by the landlord.

"With the input of pesticides and fertilizers that can increase production in large quantities into agricultural production, coupled with the use of farmland and water conservancy projects built by the government, the income of agricultural products has increased year by year, and large-scale planting has reduced production costs, resulting in a sharp drop in grain prices. In Zhejiang this year alone, more than 500 people have lost the land on which their ancestors have relied for their survival, and the harm caused to them in society is unimaginable! ”

Chiang Kai-shek digested these news in his heart for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, Jianfeng came to see me, saying that the prices of grain, oil, soybeans, corn, cotton and other materials on the market have fallen sharply, and I thought that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, with the easing of supply and demand, inflation has been effectively controlled, and the economy and people's livelihood will improve significantly, who would have thought that there is such a crisis behind this......

Speaking of this, the more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more frightened he became, and immediately summoned Tang Zong and asked Zhang Qun, vice president of the State Council, Kong Xiangxi, minister of finance, Chen Guofu, director of the Third Division of the Military Commission, Chen Lifu, minister of education, Weng Wenhao, minister of economy, Shen Honglie, minister of agriculture and forestry, Gu Zhenggang, minister of social affairs, and Xu Kan, minister of food, to hold a meeting in Xilu to discuss how to resolve the matter.

An hour later, rest in the conference room.

Weng Wenhao, who graduated from the University of Louvain in Belgium and has taught at Peking University, Qinghua and other famous universities for a long time, and has served in Beiyang and the National Government, is familiar with the situation of agriculture at home and abroad.

"Land annexation has existed since ancient times, and it has not been effectively resolved, unless we do a one-size-fits-all approach like the Communist Party, confiscate the landlords' land and redistribute it, but is this possible? Now it is the twentieth century, with the popularization of machinery, the merger of land will become inevitable, in fact, from another angle, such a merger is beneficial to the development of large-scale agricultural production, can make a large number of agricultural population liberated, devote themselves to industrial production, and promote the industrialization of the country!

"In addition, big agriculture has an overwhelming advantage over small agriculture! Why from the early thirties to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have gone bankrupt, is that European and American countries generally use mechanical farming, due to the lack of labor input, rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, etc. are cheaper than us in the production process, even if the circulation link is added, their selling price is far lower than our agricultural products, resulting in its competition has an innate advantage!

"This is still a foreign example, in the domestic market, between the landlords who own big agriculture and the farmers who have small agriculture, who will survive in the end, it is obvious! In the long run, this should be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, at the beginning of the British sheep and man-eating enclosure movement, the short-term sacrifice is worth it! ”

Brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu glanced at each other and frowned. Gu Zhenggang, a cadre of the CC department, understood and immediately spoke: "It's completely pedantic!" We must pay close attention to this matter, and I even suspect that this is a conspiracy of the Anyi Group...... Think about it, if there were millions of landless peasants in each of our provinces every year, what kind of situation would it be if there were people who were willing to encourage them behind their backs?

"Over the years, we have been paying attention to the frontline war, and we don't know much about what is happening behind our backs, such as how this planter and harvester were spread in the countryside...... Just now I called the party headquarters in various localities to inquire, and now most of the landlords in the two lakes and the plains have begun to adopt mechanized operations, and the scope is getting wider and wider, and countless peasants have gone bankrupt and flowed into society! However, Anyi Group has made a lot of money from the sales of machinery, pesticides, fertilizers and fine seeds.

"Well, now that Anyi Group has made a fortune, but let's carry the black pot, its intentions are so poisonous!"

Gu Zhenggang's words made Kong Xiangxi, who had been smiling and groaning, look ugly.

None of the people present knew that in fact, the sales of these products were all in charge of the Qianghua Company and Hengyisheng Trading Company founded by Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing, and the Jiangnan Group and the South Sichuan Group were not involved, and most of the profits went into the pockets of the Kong family, so Gu Zhenggang's words were undoubtedly slapping him Kong Xiangxi in the face.

Kong Xiangxi pouted to Xu Kan, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, Xu Kan, who had always been the vanguard of Kong Xiangxi's subordinates, was a little unclear, but when he saw Kong Xiangxi glaring at Gu Zhenggang, he immediately woke up, and after a little organization of language, he said sarcastically: "Brother Keting, we can't stop eating because we might break our stomachs when we eat, right?" If the Americans, the British, can do so by relying on a small agricultural population to feed the majority, why can't we follow suit?

"Agricultural mechanization is an unstoppable trend and an important symbol of the country's progress and civilization! In the past few years, under the leadership of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, we have not only won a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also made rapid progress in industry and agriculture. As for the extra agricultural population, it is completely possible to learn from foreigners and tilt towards other industries! ”

Shen Honglie, a former famous general of the Northeast Army and former mayor of Qingdao, said:

"The problem is that Brother Ji Kuan said that other industries can't accommodate so many people for the time being, after all, we are still a backward agricultural country, and we don't have so many factories and construction projects to meet the sudden wave of landless farmers...... I think if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't digest it, Brother Ji Kuan wouldn't have brought this question up! ”

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek still did not express his position, the Chen brothers did not express their opinions, and for a while, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone felt helpless.

At this time, Chen Bui, who was on duty in the Military Commission, walked in with a telegram, and was a little surprised to see everyone's sad faces, strode to Chiang Kai-shek's side, and handed him the telegram.

Chiang Kai-shek motioned for Chen Bui to find a sofa to sit down, picked up the telegram and glanced at it, his spirits perked up, he read it quickly, pondered for a moment, simply stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the study, and carefully considered it.

After about five or six minutes, Chiang Kai-shek returned to his seat and handed the telegram to Kong Xiangxi, who was looking forward to it: "Yongzhi, look at it, this is a telegram from your godson-in-law - now that there is a serious shortage of people in the Far East and the Korean Peninsula, he wants the central government to help him immigrate at least 10 million to solve the problem of population shortage there!" ”

Kong Xiangxi took the telegram, glanced at it slightly, and did not forget to joke in his words:

"It's not my godson-in-law alone, isn't An Yi also your godson-in-law, Chairman of the Committee? Judging from the situation of you and Xiaomei going to Kulun to negotiate this time, An Yi still respects you, otherwise how could he give up Zhangjiakou and Datong? Also, I heard that Ye Cheng's department also evacuated Shanhaiguan a few days ago, and our pressure in North China has been greatly reduced! ”

Chiang Kai-shek sighed slightly:

"It's a pity, An Yi and I are not of the same mind, he was unwilling to fight a civil war when he encircled and suppressed the Soviet area of the Red Army, and he repeatedly shirked it, and now he has become the leader of a country! Alas, if he had been a little tougher on the Communists, perhaps I would have handed over the party-state to him. If he is as indecisive as he is now, he will destroy the party and the country! ”

Huang Shaohong nodded again and again, pretending to be deeply appreciative, but he was full of slander in his heart, saying that if An Yi is not such a character, I am afraid you will not be able to sleep, saying that it is not necessary not to exterminate the Communist Party, but to take your good students first to eliminate hidden dangers.

After reading the telegram, Kong Xiangxi handed it over to Chen Lifu, who was sitting beside him, with a smile on his face: "This is called drowsiness, someone sent a pillow, isn't Ji Kuan afraid that there will be too much chaos among the landless peasants?" Now, all of them will be sent to the Far East and the Korean Peninsula. Not to mention the vast and sparsely populated Far East, just that place in Korea, since the Tang Dynasty has been included in the Chinese territory, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a Chinese vassal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we did not participate in the war to recover the Korean Peninsula, but the migration of the Chinese for immigration and colonization, the merit in the present is beneficial in the future, and today's Asia has formed a pattern in which the Chinese nation is one family, and if our national government can contribute to it, the history will surely leave a strong and colorful stroke!

"Let me first make a statement, I support immigration, and it is best for the central government to send special personnel to organize it, and send away the landless peasants in Lianghu, Jiangnan and other places in one go, unload their burdens, and go into battle lightly!"

Chen Lifu saw that Kong Xiangxi had spoken, and among the people present, there was no one of equal weight who could refute it, so he had to go into battle in person:

"I have a different view, although immigration can solve the problem for a while, but in the long run, it is inevitably suspicious of being an enemy! This time, An Yi used Lu Yixuan's rebel army to suppress the border, and he was aggressive, if it weren't for the chairman and his wife to come to Kulun to persuade him, I don't know what things would turn out in the end...... In a sense, at this time, An Yi, Nanhua and An Jiajun have become extremely threatening opponents of the party-state.

"Recently, my brother and I talked about the rise of An Yi Group, and we came to a consensus that although the establishment of South China and its sweep in Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and other places are inseparable from An Yi's own efforts and progress, but behind it is the result of our repeated connivance. If we hadn't helped the immigrants again and again, doubling the number of Chinese people in the land they occupy, and providing a proper solution to their labor force and soldiers, how could their national and military strength increase? If it weren't for our continuous supply of strategic materials such as coal, iron, tungsten, antimony, and tin, how would we have high-quality steel and alloys for the South China Army?

"If we don't learn our lesson and blindly organize immigration, I'm afraid that the catastrophe is not far off!"

"Catastrophe!? What catastrophe? ”

Chiang Kai-shek said unhappily: "Zu Yan, An Yi is my student, what is his character, wouldn't I be unclear?" At the beginning, he gave up the low-hanging wealth and took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Annam to expand the living space for the Chinese, which has already shown that he is not willing to go against me, although there have been repeated frictions between our central government and the South China government over the years, but on the whole, it is still a happy cooperation, and basically achieved the goal of win-win!

"Over the years, in addition to supporting front-line operations, so many large projects and large factories have sprung up, and more than a dozen large and medium-sized military enterprises have complete production capacity, how did these come about? Isn't it all about cooperation? If this is a capital enemy, then the responsibility can only be borne by my wife and me...... Zu Yan, do you want me to send a self-critical telegram? ”

Speaking of the latter, Chiang Kai-shek's tone was very stern and his voice was very loud.

Chen Lifu didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to react so much, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up: "Yes...... I'm sorry, uncle, nephew is wrong! ”

Chiang Kai-shek did not ask him to sit down, but looked at Chen Guofu angrily: "Zu Tao, you are the elder brother, tell me your opinion!" ”

Chen Guofu was embarrassed, and saw Kong Xiangxi's gloating eyes in a blink of an eye, so he had to justify: "Zu Yan is also thinking about the interests of the party and the state, if the principal thinks that it is better to send out the potential safety hazards as soon as possible, then organize immigration, no matter what, it is better than leaving it to the Communist Party to incite and riot!" ”

"Yes!"

Chiang Kai-shek's face softened, nodded and said, "Zu Tao, what you said is to the point!" We and Nanhua are not competitors! After the annexation of the Far East and the Korean Peninsula, the territory under the jurisdiction of the South China government is more than 25 million square kilometers, even excluding the southwest and northeast. The farmland in the anointed lands such as Jiangnan and Lianghu adds up to four or five times more!

"Do you know what that means? Now that An Yi occupies the territory, it is enough for him to develop and build, there is no need to get involved in the country again, this time I went to Kulun, An Yi repeatedly showed me that he did not want to get involved in domestic affairs, and I loved me during this time I was thinking about it repeatedly, recalling all the beginnings, I can finally be sure - I, a student, will not betray me as a principal!

"Do you know what I was hesitating about? What I hesitate about is not whether to send it or not, but how much to send and how to choose the delivery line! Now, although the Japanese have driven away, North China and Shandong are dyed with red, and the various communist base areas are intertwined, not only the local natives are confused, but even those Lanyin people who have migrated from Southeast Asia have also accepted the red idea, if it is not contained, the red tide will ravage China!

"By sending out the extra people in the Jiangnan and Lianghu areas, we will prevent these people from defecting to the Communist Party and harassing the localities, so that the influence of the Communist Party will never be able to penetrate into the south...... That's the real one-and-done! ”

Huang Shaohong exclaimed: "Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee is wise, if the disaster can be sent away as soon as possible, then the place will be quiet, and it will truly achieve long-term peace and prosperity and prosperity...... In a few years, the areas under our control will enter the gate of industrialization, catch up with Europe and the Americas, which have been devastated by war, and become modern powers...... All of this is under the leadership of the chairman! ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very useful, and said with a smile: "Ji Kuan praised it, you still have to work for the local government affairs!" ”

Kong Xiangxi had a bright smile on his face, but he thought about the million-dollar check sent by An Yi yesterday, and said in his heart that I had also helped, and the chairman decided to do this is exactly what I want, but I don't know if this Huang Shaohong also received An Yi's gift, otherwise where would there be such a coincidence.
