"What? Chang Ruiqing wants me to go to the United States with Minister Chen, Minister Zeng and Dean Zhou to study agriculture? Mao ZD stared at Wang Jingwei with wide eyes and a surprised expression, while Zhou Elai looked at him thoughtfully.

The two of them came to the Prime Minister's Office together to continue to discuss agricultural issues in depth with Zhang Junmai and Wang Jingwei, Chang Ruiqing's spokespersons, but they didn't expect that as soon as they met, Wang Jingwei told them the news.

"It's good to go to the United States to inspect and see how the Americans farm," Wang Jingwei smiled faintly and explained: "President Mao and President Zhou don't think that the United States is industrially strong, in fact, their agriculture and industry are the world's first, since the end of the last century, the United States has always been the world's number one grain producer and grain exporter, and the United States has the largest arable land area in the world, with more than 1.9 million square kilometers, almost 3 billion mu, but they have very few farmers, that is, more than 10 million, The workforce actually engaged in agriculture may be only a few million. ”

"Millions of people planting 3 billion acres of land? That's impossible! Mao Zd immediately questioned, he has also planted the land, but how hard and tiring this work is, a farmer planting dozens of acres of land is already the limit, if hundreds of people plant 3 billion acres, wouldn't a person have to plant hundreds of acres? How do you do this job? Is it so hard that all American farmers are superhuman?

"I've heard that they all use machinery to plow." Wang Jingwei said: "It's a tractor or something, we can also manufacture this, and factories that produce tanks and armored vehicles can switch to agricultural tractors, and we can now have the ability to produce seven or eight thousand armored combat vehicles per year." After the end of the war, I changed my career to the production of agricultural machinery. ”

Mao ZD was speechless for a while, he looked at Zhou Elai, and then at Zhang Junmao. Zhang Junmai looked a little dull, as if he had something on his mind.

"President, I think I can go to the United States to have a look," Zhou said with a smile: "If you don't investigate and research, you won't have the right to speak!" Even if we want to establish a state farm, it is necessary to engage in mechanized agriculture, and we can't set up a state farm that collects rent, right? ”

"That's right." Mao Zd nodded: "You should go to the United States to see, if possible." I also wanted to go to Germany to meet Hitler. ”

"President," Zhang Junmai suddenly interjected, "Is the state-owned farm you are talking about referring to the state-owned agricultural company?" ”

Mao Zd thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right." It is the state-owned agricultural company, and I and I both believe that only the state-owned agricultural company plus the form of the agricultural mutual aid group is the most suitable for rural China. ”

Zhang Junmai was silent and asked, "President." Dean Zhou. Can private companies engage in agriculture? ”

Mao ZD was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, if a private company can engage in agriculture, wouldn't it be a big landlord in disguise, this is going back......" Speaking of this, he stopped again, because he remembered that there is no law in the current Great China Federation that prohibits private companies from engaging in agriculture! In fact, there are at least several thousand private companies engaged in agriculture in the Greater China Federation, employing hundreds of thousands of employees! On the contrary, there are very few state-run agricultural companies, and they are not doing very well. And it doesn't seem realistic to introduce a law to prohibit non-state agricultural companies from continuing to operate.

Wang Jingwei was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene. He hurriedly said: "President, the capitalist farm is not the same thing as the feudal tenant system. As early as the 14th century, the germ of capitalist farms appeared in England, and by the 16th century, an agricultural capitalist class had formed in England. In modern times, with the development of large-scale industry and the widespread application of machinery and science and technology in agriculture, the class differentiation in the countryside has been accelerated, and the capitalist farm has developed more rapidly in some first-mover capitalist countries, and has now occupied a dominant position. In fact, the state-run farm is also a form of existence of the capitalist farm, except that the shareholder is not a private person but the state, and I think that the private capitalist farm and the state-run capitalist farm can coexist. ”

Mao ZD already understood that Chang Ruiqing's purpose in inviting himself and Zhou E to come to the United States to inspect agriculture was to tell himself that land concentration and capitalist farms were the trend of the times, and that the first-mover capitalist countries had already come to that point, and now it was the turn of the agriculture of the Great China Federation to develop in this direction!

Or in other words, what is today in the United States and Germany is our tomorrow! Well, it seems that Chang Ruiqing is ready to throw away the mask of socialism and follow the evil path of capitalism and democratic constitutionalism. However, Mao ZD also knew very well that if we use Marxist theory to analyze, the current Great China Federation is already an imperialist country, what is imperialism? It is the advanced stage of capitalism, so the capitalist farms in China's agriculture that follow the model of virtue are completely in line with the basic laws of social development, and can also be said to be an irresistible historical trend.

After sending Mao ZD and Zhou Elai away, Zhang Junmai and Wang Jingwei did not immediately return to their respective offices, but spread out in the garden of the Prime Minister's Office. The Tangshan Prime Minister's Office was built in the 20s, covering an area of less than 10,000 square meters, but there is an elegant and quiet garden, many trees were planted at that time, and now they have grown into towering trees, although it is early summer, but walking under the shade does not feel hot at all.

"Brother Junmai, don't you have something on your mind?"

Zhang Junmai snorted, and only said after a while: "Brother Zhaoming, don't you see that the current country is standing at a critical crossroads?" ”

"Crossroads?" Wang Jingwei stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Junmao, and asked with some surprise: "Brother Junmai refers to the land issue?" ”

"It's not just the land, it's the whole development route." Zhang Junmai looked up at the sky and smiled: "In the past ten years, the skin of Zuo Minism is socialism, but in the bones it is state socialism, China can develop and grow to the point where it is now, in fact, it is all the credit of national socialism, but now the prime minister believes that the road of national socialism has come to an end!" ”

Zhang Junmai is the chairman of the National Socialist Party, the fourth largest party in China's political arena, and although he is only a puppet chairman, he also has his own beliefs, that is, National Socialism. However, unlike Chang Ruiqing, he wants to take the road of national socialism to the end. In his mind, the astonishing achievements of the government-guided capital investment and the support of consortia for expansion over the past decade or so show that this economic development line, which looks a bit like collusion between the government and business, is very much in line with the actual situation of Chinese society. There is no need to turn to American-style liberal capitalism at all, and liberal capitalism also has a weakness, that is, the state has no way to invest the financial, material, and human resources of the entire society in the military in the shortest possible time, because liberal capitalism does not have a strong big government, and the government is constrained by the parliament too much in governance. The United States and Britain fought so ugly in this world war because of liberal capitalism.

"The prime minister's foresight, how can my generation be compared? If he thinks that the road of state socialism needs to be changed, there must be a reason for it. Wang Jingwei looked at Zhang Junmai thoughtfully: "Brother Junmai, there are some things you also hold in your heart, and you can talk to him in person when the prime minister returns to Nanjing." ”

"I know the prime minister must have a point." Zhang Junmai nodded very willingly: "By the way, Zhaoming, you have a lot of research on capitalist farms." ”

"Where, where." Wang Jingwei looked at Zhang Junmai seriously, paused, and said: "Brother Junmai, let me tell you the truth, it's not that I have research, but someone has already set their sights on this big deal." ”

"Someone? Oh, it's someone from the Nanyang Foundation, right? Zhang Junmai asked with a smile.

Wang Jingwei nodded. Although the Great China Federation is currently hanging the signboard of leftist nationalism, national socialism and democratic socialism, and it looks like a socialist country, the actual economic foundation is still capitalism, so the democratic constitutionalism promoted by Chang Ruiqing is also a capitalist money democracy! Well, it's a very evil thing, politics is actually revolving around economic interests, and behind every political party or even every politician, there are relevant consortia supporting it. And the relationship between politicians and voters, in the vast majority of cases, is also a naked exchange of interests! Politicians seek benefits for the voters who support them, and voters reciprocate their votes.

And Wang Jingwei is of course behind the consortium, his father-in-law Lao Taishan is the Nanyang billionaire Chen Gengji, in the early years with Sun Yat-sen to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and in Singapore to set up the Nanyang branch of the Alliance, and the Nanyang consortium has a great relationship. The four major consortia of the Great China Federation also have their own focus in business, among which the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium focuses on finance and heavy industry, the Beiyang consortium has its foundation in coal mines and railways, the Hezu consortium is mainly based on the pornography, light industry and precision manufacturing industries, and the Nanyang consortium is based on the shipping industry and agriculture.

Moreover, unlike the situation of the Republic of China and the Republic of the Far East, the Kingdom of Siam, the Republic of Indochina, the Republic of Malay, and the Republic of Myanmar in the South Seas have not carried out land reform under the "permanent tenant and permanent rest" system, let alone redistributed land, so there are no restrictions on land sales. Naturally, there are a large number of capitalist farms and large agricultural companies. Now that even the Mitsui Foundation, which is mainly engaged in the sex industry, sees the opportunity to develop capitalist farms in Central Asia and Siberia, how can these Nanyang bigwigs, who started from agriculture, not see it?
