The weather is hazy, thick clouds are all over the sky, the raindrops the size of beans are falling like a lot, and it is drizzling outside the window, and the cold raindrops burst in from the window from time to time, sticking to people's skin, and people can always feel a trace of early autumn coolness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's close to the pond in the Doge's Palace, but it's only a few steps away, and the sound of raindrops falling on the pond keeps coming through the house. ,

"All wasteland in the three provinces and regions will be reclaimed by the agricultural reclamation group, and after it is reclaimed as cooked land, it will be granted to immigrants!"

When the authentic Nanjing official dialect came out of the mouth of Gateng Jingyi, Tang Haoran, who was standing by the window, just silently looked at the pond with the rockery, and hundreds of years of sinicization made this Shengjing General's Mansion also look like a Jiangnan garden, this garden, this rockery is all built in imitation of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as he returned to Mukden, he received a "migration report" from Keiichi Kato, which was different from the "immigration report" proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, although it also recommended that "based on the land resources of the northeast, absorb agricultural migrants from Kannai". However, the biggest difference is the way of reclamation, compared with the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, as in the past, there are many hidden dangers of "free cultivation". Keiichi Katen, a Japanese, proposed a completely government-led resettlement plan.

"Granted to immigrants?"

Xu Zhilin, the minister of agriculture and commerce who returned to the United States three years ago with the sponsorship of his brother. Immediately asked rhetorically.

"At present, the cost of each acre of land cultivated by the agricultural reclamation group is 0.46 yuan. The government needs to spend 46 million yuan to reclaim 10,000 acres of cultivated land, and how can the government afford this fund? ”

The experience of studying in the United States makes Xu Zhilin more inclined to "listen to the people" than the government's "interference", and the only thing the government needs is encouragement and legal support, as for the private interests involved, it is just an unavoidable problem.

Perhaps for many government officials and company managers, investing in companies and company investment projects is a very safe investment. But after the governor of the three provinces, almost everyone realized that this was a favorable opportunity for them to "take charge of their own house", and that there were too many opportunities stored in this land, and the simplest and most secure thing was probably land reclamation, and they all had enough money to engage in large-scale reclamation - the dividends of the investment companies were enough to support their reclamation business.

In contrast to the control committee's control over all walks of life, the management of land is outside the control system, and soybeans from the Northeast are also an extremely important export commodity - and now in the Northeast

In this way, the market demand for soybeans is growing, and both trading companies and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce believe it. In the next five years, the market demand for soybeans in Northeast China will exceed one million tons. The surge in demand for soybeans will further stimulate the development of agricultural reclamation. It's just disappointing. So far, the Governor has not made any concessions on the question of reclamation.

At this point, Gatten's suggestion immediately alarmed Xu Zhilin, and he almost immediately refuted it, whether it was for personal interests or for the interests of the government.

"Now the Governor's Office already owes more than 15,000 yuan in foreign debt, and the debt will increase to more than 60,000 yuan in the next three years, my lord, under such a heavy debt, ......"

Without waiting for Xu Zhilin to finish speaking, Gaten said urgently.

"It is precisely because of the heavy pressure of debt that it must be reclaimed by the government, my lord!"

Turning his gaze to the adult, knowing that the adult had been attracted by his "Proposal", Gaten was afraid that the adult would dissuade him from Minister Xu, so he hurriedly emphasized his starting point again.

"The hundreds of millions of acres of land in the Northeast is undoubtedly the largest capital of the Governor's Palace, and it is also the greatest dependence, and how to reclaim and make full use of these lands is directly related to the future of the Northeast!"

After some clichés, Gatenkin Keichi unceremoniously said his thoughts.

"Your Excellency has previously indicated that the cost of cultivating one mu of cultivated land is 0.46 yuan, and the maximum is not more than 0.5 yuan, according to the previous plan of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, the registration fee for each sixty acres of wasteland is only ten yuan, which means that for every sixty acres, the government income is only ten yuan, and if the government sells 60 acres of cooked land, at the current land price of 10-15 yuan per mu, deducting the cost of reclamation of 0.5 yuan per mu, the government can obtain no less than hundreds of yuan of profits, and the profit per mu can be up to 30 times!"

"If someone can afford it!"

After a sneer, Xu Zhilin looked at the silent Governor and said.

"My lord, most of the immigrants in the customs are refugees who have no food and clothing, and these refugees have endured hunger and cold all the way to the northeast, and they have long been penniless, so how can they get the money to buy land? If they have the money to buy land, why do they need to go to Kanto? ”

What Xu Zhilin said was true, and even this was the reason why he supported the reclamation company -- the reclamation company would unify the reclamation and lease it to the immigrants, which would not only solve the problem of the survival of the immigrants, but also increase the government's tax revenue. Of course, this view of his has long been refuted by Tang Haoran as useless - human greed will make immigrants have no place to stand.

Unlike in history, whether it is the Governor's Mansion or the Beiyang Company, tens of thousands of employees will set up thousands of reclamation companies, once the Governor's Office agrees to free reclamation, these companies will "reclaim all the land that can be cultivated in the northeast", and Li Guangguang's initial concern was by no means unfounded.

Thinking of Li Guangguang's worry at the beginning, Tang Haoran asked casually.

"If the reclamation company can lease land to immigrants, why can't the government lease land to immigrants?"

When mentioning the lease of land to immigrants, Tang Haoran's mind immediately came to mind that the core idea of the "public land release" implemented by Baodao in later generations was not to sell the public land in the hands of the government to landless or landless peasants for cultivation in the form of loans, thus supporting a large number of homesteaders.

"What your lord says is very true!"

Without waiting for Xu Zhilin to object, Jia Teng Jingyi hurriedly complimented.

"Companies can lease land to immigrants for profit, and the government can also lend farmland to immigrants to make a profit by collecting land rent......

Keiichi Kato, a former local tax official, complimented him on the fact that he had the starting point for making this proposal -- to increase government revenue.

"In this way, the government can obtain additional land rent in addition to the land endowment, and the sum of the two means that more than 50% of the land will be fully invested in the government, and the reclamation of hundreds of millions of mu in the northeast will be counted, and in a few years, the government will receive land endowment and land rent as high as tens of thousands of yuan every year.

Increasing revenues is an irresistible temptation for any government, especially for the Governor's Office, which wants to do great things, and it is even the source of Kato's self-confidence. When mentioning tens of thousands of yuan of fiscal revenue, he can't help but be jealous in his heart, the experience of a local tax official makes him know that the financial difficulties have always been the bottleneck of Japan's development, and in contrast, as long as the implementation of the land tax reform, China can get hundreds of millions of huge taxes, how not to be enviable, even if the three eastern provinces are full of wilderness, can also rely on land to obtain huge taxes.

"And if the people are allowed to cultivate, not only will all the land be concentrated in the corporate landlords, but also a huge tax outflow!"

Garten, who introduced the phrase "huge tax loss", continued to increase his chips.

"My lord, and then there is the resettlement of immigrants, and the reclamation of the people will cause the immigrants to scatter and settle in all directions, and there is no plan for reclamation and settlement, so how can the government control the population and land endowment? How to plan and build? Because, from the perspective of subordinates, when the government carries out the reclamation of a certain place, it should take the retired servicemen as the core and establish resettlement points, with the township soldiers as the core reclamation points, which can be dozens of households or hundreds of households, and the township soldiers can serve as village heads, so that all the newly built villages in the three provinces and regions are controlled by the government, and at the same time, the township soldiers can also use the agricultural slack to train the immigrants, so that they can master military skills, and then make up for the lack of troops in the Northeast Army. ”

Isn't this the suggestion of armed immigrants stationed in the Northeast or a copy of the "Agricultural Reclamation Corps", which is a farmer in peacetime and a soldier in wartime, and even compared to the increase in taxes, this is what really attracts Tang Haoran, just as Tang Haoran praised it, he heard Xu Zhilin ask rhetorically on the side.

"Veterans? Section Chief Kato, the strength of the Northeast Army was originally insufficient, and now whether it is the police department, the railway, or the current agricultural reclamation regiment, all need retired officers and soldiers, so there are so many soldiers to send them to the reclamation point? Is it possible to ask the horse to release Nanshan? ”

Xu Zhilin's mention of practical problems made Garten stunned for a moment, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, the words of an adult came from his ears.

"The horse is not used in Nanshan, and it is still not the right time to cast a sword for a plow, but if there is a service, there must be retirement, and it is not a good way to grant land to retired officers and soldiers!"

It is indeed a good solution, which can solve not only the problem of the resettlement of officers and soldiers, but also the population problem.

"In this way, we can use several ways to recruit the population of the mainland, the company can continue to recruit workers, the government can also organize the reclamation of households, as for the army, we can also continue to recruit new soldiers in the inland provinces, tens of thousands of new troops every year, plus their families can be more than 100,000 people, and these people are all young and strong, and also organize reclamation in the countryside, as the core of the immigrants to reclaim households, this method is good!"

Not only is it good, but it even fundamentally solves the government's control over migrant households, after all, even if these people are retired, they will be reserves for a long time, and they can even train militia groups in the countryside, and ...... Suddenly, Tang Haoran realized another possibility, since he decided to grant land to the soldiers, wouldn't it mean that the soldiers could get more generous rewards after retiring, so why did they need to pay the soldiers well?

"I think ......"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"I think this can be used as an opportunity to recruit conscripts and establish a conscription system!" (To be continued.) )
