Qingfeng pushed, and added another shout for his new book "Red Flag" to attract a little more popularity.

…… Compared with Hu Chuyuan's peak holding nearly half of the fields in Shandong, the total amount of land held by Shanxi landlords is not scary at all, and as for Qiao Changqu and Hou Kang, the total amount of land in their hands will not exceed 300,000 mu.

Hu Chuyuan is forcing them now, so that the entire Shanxi Province can see that there is no one who cannot be moved.

There are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom...... Those small methods will not end well in confronting the political axe.

Since Hu Chuyuan is here this time, he has to beat it hard, take Shanxi Province as an example, and make a specimen for Huguang, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.

He is a capitalist and follows the capitalist road, and he has no control over such a thing as "everyone has land to plant".

The market has a market mechanism, and it will farm...... Families who do not spare no effort in farming can own 30 acres of land, and those who do not know how to farm can still spare their efforts in farming...... There is no one, and that is his own business.

The political axe only grasps one basic principle -- households with less than 45 mu of land per household and less than 7.5 mu per capita enjoy a preferential treatment of 20 percent tax reduction.

45 acres to 120 acres is the standard tax, according to the standard of the field divided into six classes to collect a land tax, between 120 acres and 330 acres of 20%, 330 acres of 30% of the income.

The agricultural tax of the political axe is actually not low, if you increase it by 30%, unless you are very good at farming, and the crops are all high cash crops, you will not make money.

The landlords in Shanxi immediately borrowed from the joint venture system to invent the law of land pledge, the land is owned by the peasant family, the land deed is mortgaged in the hands of the landlord, the peasant household still has to pay the land rent every year, and at the same time, the peasant household bears all the land taxes.

The problem is that Hu Chuyuan has set a very rigid goal for his current administration, and he is now very anxious to demand that China's agriculture enter the large-scale agricultural economy and lay a solid foundation for the further development of industry and commerce.

Therefore, he first had to take Shanxi.

He is not engaged in a pure agrarian revolution, the landlord has nothing to do with it, and if you are a landlord and want to reap the benefits of the kulak policy, then there is a problem. Second, there are basically no opium fields in the whole country now, at least there are no opium fields, only Shanxi, and there are still a lot of them.

Seeing that these people were silent, Hu Chuyuan was not polite, and said bluntly: "Elder Qiao also said that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world. My family also has more than 200 acres of fields in Shanghai, and the grain grown is eaten by themselves, but my family pays taxes in real time, what about you? ”

Qiao Jingyan hurriedly said: "Lord Shoufu, if I and the others sell all the land, it won't be difficult, but...... The law of holding fields is not uncommon in all parts of Shanxi, and if the imperial court has to investigate and deal with them one by one, I am afraid that it will endanger the foundation of Shanxi. ”

Hu Chuyuan snorted and said: "Let me tell you about it, the agricultural economy of Shanxi Province is nothing more than growing sorghum, opium, spring wheat and corn, and each of your families has a rice store, but where there are hundreds of acres, thousands of acres of squires are all in the rice industry grain cooperative, the so-called Shanxi Rural Credit Cooperatives are just a trick played between thousands of big landlords." Why, are you blind when you are in power? ”

After a pause, he added: "From the perspective of the country's current constitutional system, the Oshida Law is a very beautiful countermeasure, and there is nothing that violates the provisions of the law. But don't think I'm not going to be able to deal with this. Before I came to Shanxi, I had signed a new mandatory supplementary clause to deal with the law that you had created. My approach is simple: agricultural land must not be mortgaged in private hands, but must be mortgaged at banks and credit cooperatives designated by the government, and local banks and credit cooperatives will issue loans based on the mortgage applications of farmers. Ladies and gentlemen...... Fight with me, you're really looking for the wrong person! ”

Hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Hu Chuyuan's method was very absolute, and he broke all the foundations of the Oshida Law at one time.

If the Shanxi landlords and gentry want to pass the mortgage qualification of the Shanxi Rural Credit Cooperative, the political axe can immediately cancel the mortgage qualification of the Shanxi Rural Credit Cooperative.

This article is common to all parts of the country.

In fact, Hu Chuyuan didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But he really had no choice, with the expansion of China's entire commercial capital, land transactions became public, and there were large-scale land annexations in all provinces.

If the land annexation of Shandong, Hebei, and Jiangnan provinces was supported by the CITIC Agency, and small farmers merged small farmers, divided up excess land, and turned into a large number of rich peasant classes, in Shanxi, it was the first naked local gentry to merge small landlords, rich peasants, and poor peasants.

In Sichuan, Henan, Huguang, Liangguang, and Shaanxi, this situation is also obvious, and the situation in Shanxi is only the most serious, because the strength of the wealthy gentry class in Shanxi is indeed the greatest.

The strength of the Cantonese merchants, the Fujian merchants, and the Hui merchants was also very strong, but their capital mainly flowed to industry and commerce, or to the South Seas.

Hu Chuyuan said it very clearly, he didn't talk about it anymore, waved his hand and asked everyone to stand down.

In short, there is no room for negotiation with him.

Everyone panicked, but they could only retreat out of the flower hall.

A group of people came out nervously and gathered again in the gazebo to discuss countermeasures.

Qiao Zhiyong was still sitting in the flower hall, he felt a little unaware of the world, and got up to pour tea for Hu Chuyuan.

He is indeed older, in Shanxi Province...... He also has a prominent position and prestige in the business community throughout China, and Hu Mingyuan got up to help him and Hu Chuyuan pour tea.

There were only four people left in the room, Hu Chuyuan, Hu Xuanyuan, Qiao Zhiyong and Yang Shipai.

At this time, Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Chuyuan sighed: "Shoufu, it has been twenty years in a flash, and now you have entered the prime of life, but you are a person who is about to die." ”

Hu Chuyuan also sighed: "Time urges people to grow old, and this cannot be violated." ”

There is a marriage between Hu Qiao's two families, and Hu Weiyuan's eldest son is married to Qiao Zhiyong's eldest granddaughter, so Hu Chuyuan is Qiao Zhiyong's younger generation, and he is also very polite and respectful to Qiao Zhiyong.

Qiao Zhiyong said: "Shanxi people like to manage fields...... This is also a thousand-year-old tradition, and if you want to break it for a while, I'm afraid it will not be easy, and if you don't do it, there will be chaos. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, but he didn't hide it, and said: "I am very well prepared, but I really can't do it, so I will send troops into Shanxi to maintain local order." Since I am here this time, I must adjust Shanxi's economic foundation. Shanxi has a large-scale industrial base, but without the purchasing power and basic market of the province, it is very difficult for Shanxi's economy to develop better. For the sake of long-term consideration, it is acceptable to mess around for a short period of time. ”

Qiao Zhiyong thought for a while, and said: "Lord Shoufu is really for the people and the country, thinking far, for the future of Shanxi, the old man is also willing to contribute to Lord Shoufu." However, as Shoufu said, the merchants in Shanxi are generally connected to the land, and what is produced in the land is what we sell. If the gentry and the fields were divided, everyone would cut off the profitable business, which was a big problem. ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "There are different business models in different periods, and this business is broken, so we have to think about new transactions, and the interests of the local rich gentry are not as important as the interests of the entire Shanxi Province and the whole country." What's more, their interests are far less important than the interests of the people of Shanxi. If there is another great famine in Shanxi, I will not be merciless in forcibly buying all the fields in Shanxi, and redistributing it again under the leadership of the political axe. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, and I don't want to see it in Shanxi again. ”

Qiao Zhiyong nodded silently, and became more silent.

He knew that what Hu Chuyuan wanted to do was a great thing, but it was really difficult to do, fortunately, Hu Chuyuan wanted to do it, and if someone else changed, no one could tell the situation.

After drinking this cup of tea, Qiao Zhiyong also got up to say goodbye and went to discuss countermeasures with other Jin merchants.

When he left, Hu Yuanyuan said to Hu Chuyuan: "Big brother, I think this matter is a bit mysterious. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said: "These people are easy to say, they won't be able to get along for a little money and political axes, the problem is that below, there will definitely be a petition in the letter, and there are not a few people who propose to oppose it with the power of officials." However, none of this matters, Shanxi's agricultural reform is imperative, and we will take down whoever stands in the way. ”

Immediately, he and Yang Shipai instructed: "You popularize and publicize the new policy in place, and without waiting for them to find a way to solve it internally, directly let the local magistrates and counties investigate and handle this matter full-time, and first let the CITIC Press, the CITIC Bank, and the China Commerce Bank obtain the mortgage rights of the land, mainly through the CITIC Press." ”

Yang Shipai nodded slightly, and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, the lower officials are ready, and all the prefectures have greeted them in advance, even if it is forced, this matter will be handled." ”

Hu Chuyuan snorted, and then continued to instruct Hu Xuanyuan: "The CITIC Service here should also pay attention to proportion, earnestly set prices according to the level of the fields, organize personnel, fully intervene in Shanxi's agriculture, and engage in a large-scale joint operation system. Supporting local smallholder farmers and organizing them into joint ventures. I'll give you a special preferential treatment, the CITIC in Shanxi can first pilot the establishment of small- and medium-sized mines. ”

Hu Yuanyuan smiled: "That's a bigger good thing." ”

Hu Chuyuan also smiled and said, "It's a matter of time, it's just a pilot in Shanxi first." How's the preparation from the CITIC Agency? ”

Hu Yuanyuan said: "The CITIC has been operating in Shanxi for seven or eight years, and the results have been good, but the problem is that the local gentry control the land is too strict, and there are small-scale agricultural cooperatives in various places, but the business status of these agricultural cooperatives is not as good as ours. This time, I am going to work against Shanxi Rural Credit Cooperative, talent and capital are not a problem, I have been ready for a long time. As soon as the issue of land deed mortgage was clear, I immediately opened branches of the CITIC Cooperatives in all counties and towns, and compared them with the Rural Credit Cooperatives. ”

Hu Chuyuan hummed with satisfaction.

CITIC operates in a very unique way, each province has a separate financial system, and the head office is located in Shanghai, but it has a certain shareholding in the branches.

Basically, the lowest branch unit of the CITIC is the CITIC branch at the county level, and the branch invests in the joint venture in each town, and each town sets up a grain cooperative and cooperative.

Generally speaking, when CITIC first started to take shares, the shares held by CITIC were always very high, but gradually with the level of land development and the improvement of infrastructure, the capital would gradually be withdrawn and left, and the grain cooperatives in each town only retained about 10% of the joint venture shares, or even 10% of them.

After a few years of development, the CITIC Society will re-raise funds, and the grain cooperatives in each town will set up local grain processing factories, rice and flour factories, and oil mills together on the basis of the joint ventures of the grain cooperatives in various towns.

The basic logic is that everyone invests, CITIC is responsible for the operation, and the year-end dividends are uniformly distributed.

Some people in all provinces of the country are copying the model of the CITIC Society, but in practice they are completely different things, especially on the issue of setting up factories, many businessmen basically borrow money from peasant households to set up factories, buy raw materials cheaply, and are unwilling to give up their shares to peasant households.

Although the Shanxi Rural Credit Cooperative, founded by the Jin merchants themselves, was large, it was actually more backward, and it was entirely the landlords and squires themselves who combined to compete with the CITIC and other small grain cooperatives.

In the final analysis, the CITIC is ...... for the Hu family This is just a tool to make the people of the whole country rich, and the places where they really make money are the financial industry and industry and commerce.

This makes it difficult for others to fight against CITIC.

Since Hu Chuyuan came to Shanxi, he would not leave easily, and he stayed in the yamen of the governor of Shanxi.

He said that he had come to guide the development of Shanxi's heavy industry, and that Shanxi's rich gentry were originally quite excited, but now they realized that in Hu Chuyuan's mind, if he wanted to develop heavy industry, he must first implement the policy of the rich peasant economy in place.

In short, it's a big trouble.

Yang Shiji's wrist became extremely tough during this time, first starting from Taiyuan Mansion, within a month of the deadline, if the original title deed mortgage is not settled...... All are void.

This forced the wealthy landlords and gentry of all sizes in Taiyuan to "sell" their land to the peasants who originally held the title deeds, otherwise, once they took it back, they would have to pay a heavy tax, which was even less cost-effective.

If the farmer cannot afford to buy it, he mortgages the title deed to the CITIC Agency, China CITIC Bank and China International Commercial Bank in exchange for a loan to "buy" the land.

The curtain of bankruptcy of the Oshida Law was officially opened, and the middle peasant economy, rich peasant economy, and large agricultural economy that Hu Chuyuan wanted to establish finally cleared the last obstacles.

With this foundation, Hu Chuyuan had the heart to engage in industry.

His thinking is very simple: Asia's rich countries are no longer considering setting up new large groups, and the four major groups of Fuguo, Great Wall, China Iron and Steel Union, and China Metallurgical Corporation have invested in Shanxi, and have established Shenhua Company in the form of Jin businessmen raising funds to develop local coal mines, iron mines, and power plants.

Hyundai and Jiangnan groups and Shanghai Yinghua Electric Company can also intervene in the development of Shanxi according to their own investment plans and needs.

All the political axe needs to do is to guide the policy, limit the scale of investment, keep the economy on the track of steady development, and at the same time support modern education on a larger scale in Shanxi, so as to cultivate the talents needed for Shanxi's long-term development.

What is more special in this is the China Iron and Steel Union, that is, the China Iron and Steel United Production Corporation, which is China's largest steel supplier, in addition to Hubei Daye Iron and Steel Company, it does not completely belong to its own Reading Power Iron and Steel Company, including Ma'anshan, Shanghai Baosong, Fuzhou Iron and Steel, Laiwu Iron and Steel General Plant...... It is a joint venture with the four major heavy industry groups.

The large-scale development of Shanxi just provides an excellent opportunity for China Iron and Steel Federation to find a place of its own outside the four major groups.

Hu Chuyuan said that he would not treat the rich country group badly.

Shanxi's development space is a compensation he has provided to the Wells Fargo Group.

For Jin merchants, he also left some space for them to raise funds to establish Shenhua Company, because it does not belong to the rich Asian countries, and the rich Asian countries will definitely not give technical support, so these technical support work can only be undertaken by the China Trust Financing Company and the Ministry of Industry.
