"Junzuo, we have also considered the issue of land reform, but we always feel that this matter is a mess, there is no place to start, there will be a lot of noise in the local area, even those tenant farmers may not necessarily support us, and even cause local riots, I really don't have the courage to deal with it!" Jiang Yonggui was also bitter at this time, and there was no good way.

As for the land reform, Qiao Yu and his subordinates have been brewing as early as the period in Sichuan, but they did not really dare to solve it, the main thing is to consider the stubbornness of thousands of land production relations, which is not only the problem of landlords and tenant farmers, but also cultural traditions, clan forces, regional differences and so on are intertwined.

Some large landlords are often the patriarch of a region, with high prestige and a wide network base, any weddings and funerals, big and small affairs have to be dealt with by them, they are simply a small soil emperor, they rely on the land to maintain their own interests, if they want to attack them, they will face the danger of a strong backlash.

Nowadays, the industrial development of the southwest has had a considerable impact on this stubborn system, but it will take a long time to completely replace it, but Qiao Yu is obviously not willing to wait, the rural problem must be solved, and the farmers must join the wave of industrialization, only in this way can China have enough domestic demand and achieve a strong country and a rich people.

"Minister Jiang, the land issue is indeed very difficult, but if it is not solved, the difficulties will only get bigger and bigger, and there are only five provinces and autonomous regions under our control now, if we don't have the courage to reform now, after the reunification of the country, the opposition will definitely become more intense, do you still have the courage to reform?"

Jiang Yonggui, Qian Moyin, and Wei Ruolan all lowered their heads, obviously they also knew that avoiding it was not a good way, and they could only face the difficulties.

"We still have a lot of money for the political axe, and we have enough ammunition to conquer the strongest fortress, the revolution in Russia has broken out, if we do not take action, we will not be able to escape the fate of Russia, the development of the country is easy, it will be difficult to distribute the benefits reasonably, if the peasants are excluded for a long time, sooner or later it will threaten the security of our regime, and land reform is imperative.

I am going to implement it in Sichuan first, with the political axe funding, all the land will be redeemed from the landlords, and after the political axe will control the land, the land will be divided equally according to the population, but these lands will not be directly handed over to the peasants, but will be set up as a collective farm, the management of the farms will be elected by the peasants themselves, and the land rights of the peasants will be converted into shares, and profits will be distributed by shares! If the peasants do not want to continue to engage in agricultural production, they can not accept land shares, and the political axe will provide corresponding funds to help them carry out other businesses, or go to the city to work, or start a small business!

For the landlords, they can also choose to accept the funds for the redemption of the political axe, and then invest in industry and commerce, the political axe will help, if they do not want to, he can convert this part of the money into a part of the shares, so that they can become the majority shareholders of the farm, continue to run the farm, but the distribution method needs to be changed, they get not a fixed rent, but according to the share of profits! ”

Qiao Yu explained his reform methods to Jiang Yonggui and the other three, which is also the result of his thinking for a long time, under the relationship between tenants and tenants, the landlord takes a fixed rent, no matter what the year is the same, they have no motivation to improve production technology, and the tenant farmers do not have the financial resources, if the year is not good, the output is reduced, the landlord usually reduces some rent, but this can not change the fundamental problem, the tenant farmers still need to borrow from the landlord, and the landlord will use the debt relationship to make the tenant farmers bear a greater burden. If this continues, the tenant farmers will never come out.

In fact, a good year is not necessarily a good thing for the peasants, the situation of cheap grain hurting the peasants happens from time to time, tenant farmers can not rely on the harvest to repay their debts, as for the bad years, let alone think about it, the landlord is much stronger than the peasants who have nothing by virtue of the advantages of land and capital, in short, every son in the peasant pocket will be deprived of the past, although after Qiao Yu took power, vigorously reduce rent and interest, and increase peasant income, but the tenant farmers can only fill their stomachs at most, and there is no way to do the rest.

The purpose of Qiao Yu's reform was to turn the peasants and landlords in the tenant relationship into a shareholding relationship, and the interests of the two changed from opposing to identical, and they both hoped to produce more agricultural products at a lower cost, and only in this way could they obtain greater benefits.

In this way, not only will the peasants' incomes increase by a large margin, but they will also have the motive force to improve agricultural production technology, and grain output will also be able to increase by a large margin, and more labor force will be liberated at the beginning of the year, thus providing sufficient impetus for industrialization.

Qian Moyin carefully digested Qiao Yu's overall reform plan, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Junzuo, such a reform can indeed reduce the opposition of the landlords, and can also benefit the people, and more importantly, it can increase grain production, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, but there are also two huge difficulties in front of you, the first is that it takes a huge amount of money to redeem these lands, although there is some accumulation of political axes now, but it is certainly not enough, without enough funds, it cannot be carried out, and after changing the management system, will the farmers be able to operate? Do you understand the market, without the guidance of professional talents, whether the farm can be maintained is also a problem! ”

"Junzuo, Minister Qian is right, in addition to these two problems, if it is changed to a farm, the production efficiency will increase, there will definitely be a large number of surplus labor, and the whereabouts of these people should also be considered, and since it has become a share, there is a possibility of transfer, and in the end, will the land be concentrated in the hands of a few people!"

Jiang Yonggui also raised a sharp question, and Wei Ruolan on the side did the same, saying: "Junzuo, in addition, whether the peasants can accept the real land into shares is between the two, I am afraid they will not be able to turn this corner, and how to deal with the large number of homesteaders?" ”

Qiao Yu nodded, the questions raised by these three people are real, and they are also the questions that they have been thinking about, "These difficulties do need to be solved by us, the problem of funds, I think it can be solved through financial reform, we have now hoarded more than two hundred tons of gold, with the support of this gold, the issuance of paper money has also come to a natural time, as long as the currency reform is carried out, the money of the political axe can increase a lot, so there is no need to worry about this problem, President Wei, this matter has always been in your responsibility, I don't know how the planning is going? ”

Wei Ruolan hurriedly replied: "Junzuo, I have almost planned, I have asked the media to release some movements, the people do not have much to do, but think that now the transaction is becoming more and more frequent, real money is not only inconvenient, nor safe, and foreign currency is also relatively chaotic, if it can be unified into its own currency is also a good thing, the original plan is to issue a southwest ticket this month, within half a year to fully replace all kinds of foreign currencies on the market, gold and silver can be withdrawn from circulation, if all replaced by paper money, The income of the political axe will more than double invisibly, and if all the paper money is used for this redemption, it is also a good thing for the promotion of the southwest ticket! ”

The problem of money is solved, and the remaining problems are also very serious, Qiao Yu knocked lightly on the table, "Farmers are likely not to operate, and they don't know how to manage, this time is the time to test the ability of the unified Mingzhu Party, party members should go to the countryside to help farmers carry out reforms, this is also an important test of the unified Mingzhu Party, since we want to establish a one-party ruling political axe, then this political party must prove that it can lead the country and reassure the people, now is the best opportunity, if you can't do this." , it is not worthy of being called a ruling party.

In addition, many remote mountainous areas are indeed very poor, even if they carry out reforms, it is difficult to get rich, and the amount of land is far from enough, so I am ready to adopt the strategy of immigrating to the real border, the water and heat conditions in the border areas of Yunnan are very good, especially in the Jiangxinpo area, the water source is abundant, the land is also fertile, as long as it can be developed, it is a huge granary, and the Sichuan border area also needs appropriate migration to change the local population structure.

There is no need to worry about the re-concentration of land, after all, it will take decades, during which time we have been able to complete industrialization, a large number of labor force has entered industry, and the concentration of land in the countryside is still a good thing.

Our land reform this time is actually one of a series of reforms, including the currency reform, the abolition of slavery reform, the border reform, the reform of the political system, the large-scale abolition of slavery, the abolition of the Tusi, the direct control of the border areas by the political axe, the immigration of the real border, the establishment of a solid border defense, the land reform, the release of the purchasing power of the countryside, the integration of the peasants into the industrial system, and at the same time to break the local clan power, the administrative apparatus of the political axe into the countryside, and replace the control of the gentry and landlords over the countryside! ”

Qiao Yu said a big picture of the plan, each of which is not an easy thing to reform, and it is not easy for all things to be intertwined, but now it has reached this juncture, only by facing the difficulties can China's industrialization process be maintained smoothly, otherwise it will fall into internal and external difficulties, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, the rural and urban areas are out of touch, and there are all kinds of hostile forces such as foreign powers and Soviet Russia, so large-scale reforms must be carried out no matter what. Moreover, it must be completed before Britain and France and other countries recover from the war, otherwise the resistance will be even greater, and the abolition of slavery and immigration are all acts that infringe on their colonial power, and they can be completely completed while they have no energy to interfere.

Jiang Yonggui, Qian Moyin and others were also frightened by Qiao Yu's big move, but after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed a juncture now, and they have to change, the original industrial system developed in the southwest with the help of World War I, now this most favorable condition has disappeared, the Russian Revolution has happened, the shock to China is naturally huge, China's situation is even worse than that of Russia, if it is not changed, the revolution will inevitably sweep China.

Jiang Yonggui and others also agreed with Qiao Yu's views from the bottom of their hearts, their task is to refine Qiao Yu's reform plan, his plan has become more reasonable, more conducive to public acceptance, and enough officials have been selected to implement the huge plan, so that the whole set of plans can be implemented one by one, and it will be thoroughly implemented to provide impetus for the further development of the southwest.

In addition to the reform, there is another thing that has also attracted everyone's attention, that is, the trial of Sun Wen's family, since Sun Wen and others were arrested, for more than a year, this case has received attention from all sides, and hundreds of academic celebrities have formed a huge team of lawyers to defend Sun Wen, and the confrontation in the newspaper has already begun, and the trial should have started half a year ago, but due to the problem of the flu was interrupted, it was delayed until now, but it is time to deal with it!
