Chapter 271: Chengtian Incident 5
The Revival Society can use direct methods to eliminate the landlords by directly destroying their entire families. Of course, the Revival Society can also use gentle methods and use roundabout means to bankrupt the landlord's family.
Under the rule of the Renaissance Society, and even in the vicinity of the Renaissance Society's sphere of influence, it was very difficult for the landlords to resist the Renaissance Society.
Landlords could have paid little or no national taxes by concealing and concealing them. But that was when the civil officials and county orders of the Ming Dynasty sat in the yamen. Now they are all in the re-education of the mines and road construction teams of the Revival Society. The people in charge of measuring and accounting for the land area were all members of the Revival Society, so they didn't work.
In the past, the landlords could bring their tenants to the yamen to make trouble and put pressure on the magistrates through their subordinates. But now is the time for the Revival to call the shots. Their own tenant farmers thought that revival would be much better than their own masters. Naturally, the tenant farmers wanted to support the revival association and not support their own masters.
In the past, even though the landlords could not sell grain at a high price in their locality, they could hoard grain and lend it to usury when there was a grain shortage, and they could sell grain to other places to make money. But now that the Renaissance Society controls the checkpoints and intersections in the surrounding areas, logistics companies that are not part of the Renaissance Society are not allowed to pass through, and they have not paid a large amount of taxes and fees at the Taxation Bureau of the Renaissance Society, and they don't want to ship anything to other places.
They were left with two means of disposing of their food. Either they will rot in their own homes, or they will sell them at a low price in a Fuxing grain store.
However, the landlord class, as the feudal ruling class, will not accept your revival society. Whether it was attacking the checkpoint, organizing people to smash the grain bank and bank, or filing a complaint against the children of their own officials outside, they all used it without hesitation.
However, all the landlords who took action against the Revival Society were also severely attacked by the Renaissance Society. It is still light to raid the house and exterminate the clan, even those domestic thugs who have been dogs and legs for the landlords, and the best is only the end of working in the concentration camp. This kind of reaction and confrontation of theirs has further promoted the work of the Revival Society to steadily expand its sphere of influence.
In fact, the Revival Association has not been very active in dealing with the landlords at present. At this stage, because the Fuxing Society has taken over the entire Hubei military guard and is carrying out large-scale transformation of these military fields and military households, the land reform policy specifically aimed at landlords has not yet been carried out on a large scale in the surrounding areas.
Of course, for the Revival Society, there is no reason not to eat the fat delivered to the door. If the landlords had consciously put their necks into the noose on the gallows, it would have been impossible for the Revival Society not to help them.
Although the Revival Society currently has little time and energy to pay attention to the local landlords and the eunuchs in the Chengtian Mansion. However, things do not develop and change just because the Revival Society ignores them.
The Fuxing Society was stationed in Jingmen Prefecture for a special reason. A large family surnamed Wang in Jingmen Prefecture has relatives with a merchant in the Wuchang business group. This gentleman saw that his relatives had made a fortune by opening a steam textile factory in Wuchang, and he also moved the idea of investing in the textile industry. After careful consideration, the landlord, who had more than 20,000 acres of land, used his land to exchange technical equipment and funds with the bank of the Fuxing Association, and began to start a business in Wuchang Province.
It is not for nothing that the Jingmen royal family is so open-minded. In recent years, because of the severe food policy of the revival society, the local owners have really worked very hard. The grain could not be sold at a high price, the money invested in the land could not be recovered, and many tenants fled with their families without a trace. In this case, the Jingmen royal family will break their arms to save themselves and choose to become industrial capitalists.
Of course, this is also directly related to the fact that the Jingmen royal family itself is also doing a lot of business. Unlike ordinary gentlemen's children, who mainly study, the Jingmen royal family has always had a tradition of doing business.
No matter what the Wang family chooses. Anyway, the Wang family's more than 20,000 acres of land in Jingmen are already the Fuxing Association's. The Renaissance Association immediately dispatched a working team, transported the corresponding professional equipment, and brought the professionals to Jingmen Prefecture, and immediately transformed the land and tenant farmers of the royal family in Jingmen Prefecture into farms.
The construction of the Reconstruction Society's farms has such a characteristic: whenever the Reconstruction Association carries out farm construction in a certain place, it is inevitable that even if the farm does not publicize the surrounding people, the surrounding people will defect to the farm in an endless stream.
Old man Mao said that "there is comparison to distinguish", which is not false at all.
In the past, ordinary people worked as tenant farmers as long-term workers and short-term workers, and lived a miserable life that was worse than death. It's like living in this village, it's still like living in that village. Anyway, no matter where you are, you won't have a good life. So everyone endured it honestly.
Wherever the Renaissance Society went, the technicians who built the land and the military personnel who were responsible for training the local tenant farmers in production and construction were certainly from outside the Renaissance Society. However, the main labor force for the construction of the farm is still the local tenant farmers.
The treatment of farm workers in the Revival Society is very simple. During the preparation of the farm, the farm workers not only paid their daily salaries, but also ate their three meals in the camp. Sanhe rice and multigrain steamed buns are enough, and each meal has either meat (chicken) or fish (anchovy). From top to bottom, inside and out, three new clothes and pants are two sets per person. Anyway, in addition to being strict, having nothing to do and being idle, and having to do literacy and other things that make people scratch their heads, other treatments, these people are a little apprehensive and grateful.
How far away can your village be. What happened here at the Fuxing Society Farm must have been known to several surrounding villages in less than three days. Anyway, everyone's relatives are either from the next village or the next village, and there are so many relatives in the family, not to mention how fast things spread.
The farm is productive and productive, which means that the farm is running smoothly after it is built. In the early days of the farm, a lot of labor was needed.
Farm construction is carried out to supplement the labor force, on the one hand, through the production and construction troops dispatched by the headquarters of the Reconstruction Association, and on the other hand, it is necessary to recruit locally.
Because everyone knows what it is like to work on a farm, it is only natural that many people from the surrounding area will come to work on the Renaissance Society's farms.
The more people who came to work on the Fuxing Society's farm, the more people knew about the treatment of the Fuxing Society's farm, and when they found out that the farm was also recruiting permanent workers (the farm side would sign a long-term contract with the workers), people who wanted to join the farm began to flock to the farm.
In fact, this kind of thing is not a big deal, and the revival will not be like the landlords who plundered the people as slaves. But the problem is that because the treatment of the Renaissance Society's farm is so good, many military families from the surrounding areas have also come to the farm to enlist.
The eunuch guarding the town of Chengtianfu used this reason to embarrass the Fuxing Society, and the Fuxing Society didn't think it was a big deal. But no one expected that because Mu Nan forbade military households to defect to the farm, and even sent people to arrest the military households who participated in the farm, this incident finally caused a big chaos.
