At the construction base of the Datang Special Zone in Hongkou, the marines are working with ordinary laborers. www.biquge.info Zhou Junbao and his comrades-in-arms spread the barbed wire fence on the periphery of the base, Yang Youguang was in a very bad mood, and said in a broken mouth: "It's just some, if you are instigated, you really think you are 2580,000, and the machine gun is open and swept down." ”

Wang Tao, the squad leader, reminded him solemnly: "These people you said you want to be swept down by machine guns are technically already considered to be our Tang people, and they will all be our citizens and labor force in the future." Moreover, there is no need for me to remind you, not a few years ago, you were the same pure people as them. ”

Yang Youguang didn't dare to make a mistake, and said: "I just complain and let people force people into the countryside, it's really not a happy thing." ”

Luo Teng's mood was very stable, and he said: "Originally, we planned to start a new business in these areas, and if those county towns were resettled, it would not be troublesome enough." At least for a year or two, we will not have plans to renovate the old city. ”

Zhou Junbao said: "But there is no reason, the land that belongs to our Datang Dynasty still has another set of administrative system, and we can't afford to lose this face." ”

Wang Tao dropped the last loop of barbed wire and said, "It is estimated that it will not be long before the governor will come to Shanghai." After all, our Commissioner Chen is still an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although his actions are not muddy and watery, but he still lacks courage, and Governor Bai is a soldier, I am afraid that it is completely different for him to do things. ”

Wang Tao immediately beckoned his comrades to change into riot control equipment, but they soon found that there seemed to be a Tang man among the villagers, who was Wei Chifeng, a public servant of the SAR government.

"Section Chief Wei Chi, why are you messing around with the locals?" Wang Tao asked puzzled. He looked at the group of villagers and saw that they had a unified fear and uneasiness on their faces, but they were still outside the construction site, but they were not armed with them, and they did not look like they had come to do something bad.

Yu Chifeng was a little proud, and said with a smile: "It's not Commissioner Chen who asked me to do the work of the nearby villagers." There is a shortage of labor on our construction site, and the population in the special zone is something that we can requisition. ”

Luo Teng's face was full of suspicion, and he said, "Requisition? I'm afraid it won't be that simple. ”

Yu Chifeng's face turned slightly red, and he said, "Naturally, you can't give nothing, we Tang people are not unreasonable." Now it happens to be spring ploughing, and the labor force in the village is also tight, and they are all ready to plow the fields for the landlords. I took people to their village and told them that now they have to listen to the rules of our Datang. According to the special economic construction law, the special economic zone will be exempted from agricultural taxes for five years, and those who serve our Datang government can receive two annual rations, and they can also get food and wages for their work, and I have advanced a part of it to them. ”

Wang Tao sighed: "Your price is not low, no wonder they came here even if they were suspicious." This is a man-made death for money, and a bird for food. ”

Yu Chifeng said: "How can this be counted, follow us." It's clear that you can live a better life! ”

Wang Tao asked again: "The Qing government is apportioned to the mu, although the agricultural tax is exempted, but the tax is paid by the landowners, that is, those landlords, they can take the greatest benefit from it, and ordinary farmers still can't make profits." ”

Yu Chifeng smiled: "So I went to the village to announce it." All the original land labor employment contracts are invalid, and they need to be in accordance with our new contracts in Datang. Of course, this is a bit redundant, because last night Governor Bai sent a telegram demanding that all land ownership relations in the SAR be abolished. The Tang Dynasty did not recognize land ownership relations in the Special Administrative Region during the reign of the Qing government. ”

Zhou Junbao commented: "Although this is a bit risky, it is more direct. The concentration of land in the SEZs is very serious, as in other places in the south of the Yangtze River, a small number of landlords control most of the land, and if we do not fundamentally change the ownership of the means of production and labor relations, we will not be able to completely control the population in the SEZs. ”

Wang Tao asked: "But it seems that such a forced seizure of their land is also a bit arbitrary, and there is no compensation such as redemption?" ”

With a bit of playfulness and admiration, Yu Chifeng said: "This is what I admire the most, do you know what method Governor Bai used?" After declaring all land ownership invalid, he promised the landowner that the original title deed that we had certified as true could be exchanged for land in other territories of our Datang. Moreover, he also stipulates that those whose land is owned less than 20 acres are recognized as ordinary homesteaders, and can replace the high-quality farmland in the three states on the west coast or the southeast of our homeland, and replace their original acres of land on the basis of the land granted to the original immigrants. And the amount of land owned is huge, obviously the landlord's, and we will exchange it for Alaskan land......"

Wang Tao's eyes widened, and a blade of grass in his mouth also spit out, and said: "I'm rubbing, it's so ruthless, the land of Alaska, what can this grow?" But isn't there still gold there, and if you really put your heart into panning for gold there, you might be able to make money. ”

Wei Chifeng shook his head, but his face was full of smiles, he said: "The land exchanged to Alaska only has a license to build houses and carry out industrial and agricultural production, and there is no property right and exploration right to minerals. ”

Luo Teng laughed and said, "Ruthless, or Governor Bai is ruthless." ”

Wei Chifeng said: "It is estimated that some people will resist, and you marines will be used to do it, if anyone resists by force, then if you don't say it, you will be sent directly to Alaska." ”

Wang Tao also smiled vigorously and said, "It's cool to do things like this." ”

Zhou Junbao asked again: "What about ordinary farmers?" ”

Wei Chifeng said: "It's still the old way, we open production cooperatives and contract land to them, but first of all, we still hope to convert them into industrial labor. We will not force them to be workers, but in the years since the establishment of the Special Administrative Zone, we will create a more obvious gap between industry and agriculture, and the income of the workers will be significantly stronger than that of the peasants, so that they will naturally give up farming and join factories and other businesses. ”

Zhou Junbao said: "It's better to make it clear to them, the grain prices from our country are very low, and they are individual small farmers, and it is difficult to compete, and they will lose money in the end." ”

Wei Chifeng said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Sergeant Zhou's theoretical level and thinking ability are very good, you only immigrated to China a few years ago, your learning ability is really good, it is better to join our SAR government after retiring." ”

Zhou Junbao shook his head and said, "I still prefer the atmosphere of the army." ”

Wang Tao put his arm around Zhou Junbao's shoulders and smiled at Yu Chifeng: "Junbao is my soldier, you dug the wrong place at the foot of the wall." ”

After talking for a while, Yu Chifeng had already led a group of locals into the construction site, and each of them was given a work uniform, some shovels and other tools, and was told that these things belonged to them. Even if it was a piece of clothing and a tool, it had already excited this group of locals, and they dared to come to the construction site to work, but it was nothing more than the food that Yu Chifeng sent in advance. With food in their hands, they don't panic, even if they farm for the landlord, there is nothing left all year round. And the amount of grain given by Yu Chifeng was very sufficient, enough for them to eat enough, which was already very important to the peasants at this time.

Being able to eat and being able to eat are two concepts, even in the prosperous era of Kangqian, most of the people in this country have difficulty in getting enough food and clothing, and they can only be regarded as starving to death.

Under the protection of the soldiers, Wei Chifeng and other SAR officials went to several local villages, announced new regulations and policies related to them, and then distributed money and grain. In three days, Wei Chifeng pulled up a local labor force of 300 people, defeated the three landlords and tyrants, and sent them to a passenger ship to Alaska.

Although Alaska is on the same west coast as Jiazhou, it is really remote. In recent years, the Datang Navy has consciously operated in the northern region and has also sunk some Russian exploration ships. The purpose of the Tang Dynasty was clear, that is, not to allow Russians to enter Alaska, whether fur traders or explorers. Therefore, once the Russians are found near Alaska, there is no second word, they must be killed.

But even so, the Russians will follow suit, so they still need to establish some strongholds of their own. The Tang built a small colony in Anchorage, half of which were prisoners, and it was difficult to guarantee supplies here, so it was necessary to transport some supplies from Jiazhou, but it was also a countermeasure to the Russians.

The actions of the Tang people in the Shanghai Special Economic Zone are like cities surrounding the countryside. They did not touch the county seat, but made a big fuss in the rural areas, relying on food and money to control a large number of peasants to follow them, so that their own administrative power was improved, and with the addition of local labor, the construction of the new urban area in Hongkou Zhabei District became smoother.

To the astonished gaze of outsiders, it took only a month for the simple dock capable of berthing six ships of several thousand tons to take shape. The military barracks, which are composed of prefabricated houses and brick houses, have also been built, and thousands of Datang officers and soldiers have been stationed in the military base. And Sazai, who can't compare to the Tang people's ability to act and communicate, still thinks he has a plan. (To be continued.) )
