When Pan Yucheng saw Chang Ruiqing, it was already completely dark. The place where Weng and his son-in-law met was the flower hall of Chang Ruiqing's Office of the Superintendent, and a banquet was placed there.

For his third aunt's father, Chang Ruiqing really doesn't trust him much. It's not because this person betrayed his friends and "betrayed" his daughter in order to take refuge with him...... But because of his ingredients! Well, although our Changda warlords are extremely disapproving of "talking about ingredients", thinking that it is something similar to Nazi racism! But now, when he thinks of the white-faced scholar in front of him, who looks polite and polite, is the number one big landlord in Shaxian County, Fujian, he can't help but think of the "ingredient theory".

Can a real landlord support his land improvement policy?

Not to mention that while he is carrying out land reform, he will not relax his looting of Fujian's rural areas! In other words, to put it more plainly, his policy is to ask the landlords to give profits to the peasants, and while reducing rents, they also have to bear the original land endowments and various apportionments linked to the land...... The landlords will be the biggest victims of their own rural policies! This is also the biggest reason why once he grasped the power of Fujian, he spared no effort to suppress the local gentry in Fujian! It is also the main reason why he always dare not trust Pan Yucheng, a big landowner.

As for the idea of letting the government make profits, exempting the rural land endowment and apportionment, in exchange for the landlords' support for the rent reduction policy. After Chang Ruiqing really understood the financial situation of Fujian Province, he completely dispelled it!

Although at that time, the proportion of land endowment in the entire fiscal revenue was only about 30%, far less than the customs duties, salt taxes, and industrial and commercial taxes. However, the customs and salt taxes belong to the central tax, and the Fujian Customs is now controlled by foreigners, and all the income is directly remitted to the books of the Ministry of Finance of the Beijing Government after deducting the Gengzi indemnity! As for the salt tax, there are no large salt pans here in Fujian at all, so there is no salt tax.

Therefore, Fujian's finances are now supported by land endowments, centigold, commercial taxes, and the Fujian Silver Dollar Bureau...... Moreover, when these four major incomes are added together, they can only barely cope with the expenditures of the military and political authorities in Fujian, and this can only be achieved under the condition that the land endowment and the centijin are not intercepted and misappropriated by the counties without authorization. If your head is hot. If the land endowment and apportionment are exempted, then Fujian's finances will have a deficit of at least a few million yuan a year!

If there is really such a big deficit, Chang Ruiqing may have to reduce his troops significantly. It's just in this troubled era of the Republic of China. If there is no strong enough army, let alone unify China, it is also wishful thinking to maintain Fujian's territory.

Therefore, Chang Ruiqing can only let the landlord class in Fujian bear all the costs of land reform, so that he can do it. Naturally, he and the landlords of Fujian were on opposite sides. Of course, this opposing Cheng dù cannot be compared with the agrarian revolution in history, after all, our Chang Da revolutionaries are still bourgeois revolutionaries!

But now, Chang Da Revolutionary and his big landlord are smiling at each other, pushing the glass with a wine glass. It's not affectionate.

In addition to their son-in-law and son-in-law, there is only Pan Xiaoqian in the flower hall. The little girl, a red revolutionary, is also ignorant, she has read some messy red books, and she has been fooled by the red organization in the school, but her brain is actually very confused. At this time, while helping Wen Huangjiu, he is eavesdropping on the conversation between the big warlord and the landlord's father with his little ears, probably because he wants to report to the organization in time, right?

But the two people at the table didn't care about her little girl. Pan Yucheng and Chang Ruiqing, you have a cup of wine, and I have a cup of wine, and there are always seven or eight glasses of wine. If you drink it any more, you should be drunk. before putting down the cup. looked at Chang Ruiqing with a smile: "Yaoru, in the past few days, the gate of my Fuzhou Mansion has been squeezed by the gentry of this province who have given gifts and left the door, these individuals now really know how powerful you are, and they don't dare to embarrass you anymore, this Fujian Province will be your world in the future." ”

Chang Ruiqing also put down the cup and looked at the old fox-like man in front of him. His expression was faint, and he just smiled: "This time has indeed suppressed them." There is no way to do this, and the territory of Fujian Province is so little. Material and financial resources are also limited, and my tens of thousands of troops have to eat and drink, so I can only compete with these gentry for profit. ”

Hearing that Chang Ruiqing seemed to be confiding in the truth, Pan Yucheng smiled again: "Yaoru's meaning, the old man understands, you have great ambitions, and Fujian Province is just the foundation for you to compete for the world, in fact, there are many gentry in Fujian who are willing to follow." ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded, but did not say a word. Pan Yucheng still had a smile on his face: "If the taxes in Fujian Province can be centralized and controlled, and then the income of the Silver Dollar Bureau is counted, and some more taxes and apportionments are appropriately added, there will be no problem in raising an army of four divisions." With such force, both the two Guangxi and the southeast can be swept away. Saying that, he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Yaoru, in fact, the local financial resources in Fujian can still be squeezed again, and the local gentry can understand and cooperate!" ”

What does this Pan Da Rich Man mean? Is it encouraging itself to loot places to start a warlord melee? What a Fujian gentleman! Chang Ruiqing's mind spun quickly, put down the wine glass and looked at Pan Yucheng with a smile. Now Fujian is the base area for launching its own revolutionary war and unifying the whole of China, and I want the poor middle peasants in Fujian to be willing to be cannon fodder for themselves, and the necessary sweetness must be given, at least let them see the hope of their future life!

But I don't have that much money in my pocket to buy people's hearts! The only way is to be generous to others, and use the power of the power to force the gentry and landlords to make concessions. But will the gentry and landlords be harmed by their rule?

I'm afraid this question is not so easy to answer! As Pan Yucheng said, among the so-called Fujian gentry, there are still many people who are willing to follow themselves to compete for the world! Who doesn't want to get such a skill from the dragon? Therefore, for those gentry who can follow themselves to fight the world, the losses brought to them by their own land reform policies cannot be compared with the gains after the victory of the revolution! Besides, his own land reform policy is only a moderate reform, not a radical agrarian revolution!

As for the landlords who are unwilling to follow them, these people are divided into two kinds. One is the "silent majority", these landlords are powerless and powerless, and they are simply engaged in production and management. They are bound to be dissatisfied with their land reform policy, but they will not really rebel because they have collected a few buckets of rent. So these people's ideas don't have to be considered at all. And those gentry who are against themselves, and who are more active, hehe, after the blows of this time. They have lost their local armed forces and local power, so why should they fight against themselves?

looked at Pan Yucheng with a flattering smile. Chang Ruiqing just nodded slowly: "Fujian Province is indeed the foundation for me to dominate the world!" However, I want to maximize Fujian's material and people's resources! Only then can we accomplish the mission of reunifying China in the shortest possible time! ”

"Supervise!" Pan Yucheng stood up suddenly, looking at Chang Ruiqing with an excited expression. Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly, and then said, "Old man." You are Xiaoqian's father, and I are not outsiders, so I won't hide some thoughts from you. Old man, what do you say I rely on to fight the world? ”

Pan Yucheng was stunned and replied, "Rely on the army!" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Who is the army composed of?" Not a farmer yet! China is an agricultural country. The peasants made up the vast majority of the population, so it was the peasants who formed the basis of the army! And if I want to accomplish the goal of reunifying China in the shortest possible time, I must mobilize the strength of the Fujian peasants! Old man, do you think there is any way I can do this? ”

Pan Yucheng just looked at Chang Ruiqing in a daze, groaning and not speaking.

“…… First of all, I want to control the countryside in my hands! Controlling the countryside is the premise of controlling the peasants. The second is to organize the peasants, in addition to the township government and Yaoru Primary School, I also want to establish a peasant association, so that all the peasant households in the province can participate! Finally, I want the peasants to get some benefit from my rule. This is especially true for the poor peasants who are at the lowest level in the countryside. for my soldiers are from among them. But how am I going to get them to benefit from me? ”

Pan Yucheng asked softly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly and spit out four words: "Rent reduction and interest reduction!" ”

Hearing these four words, Pan Yucheng was silent, he frowned: "The high land rent and heavy interest really make those poor people miserable. But if you force the landlord to reduce the rent and interest, I am afraid that they will refuse to pay the land tax! ”

Chang Ruiqing leaned back in the chair and looked directly into Pan Yucheng's eyes. sneered: "That's why I want to control the local government and disintegrate the local armed forces." If anyone dares to refuse to implement the rent reduction and interest reduction, or refuse to pay the land tax. That is, if you are embarrassed by someone who is often with me, it will not end well! ”

The two Weng and son-in-law, who were still amiable just now, are now looking at each other with stern expressions. Pan Xiaoqian, who was next to her, stared at the handsome warlord with a pair of big watery eyes, her face full of incredulity. Isn't that "rent and interest reduction" a rural policy that the red organizations in schools have been propagating? Why is this reactionary warlord going to do this? Could it be that this Chang Da warlord is actually not as reactionary as he seems on the outside? (Chang Ruiqing's handsomeness is a reactionary handsomeness)

I don't know how long it took, Pan Yucheng smiled and slapped his face: "I think it's feasible!" Yaoru, if you don't, let me plan for you. ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned: "You? ”

Pan Yucheng laughed and said: "If you want to talk about training troops to fight wars and opening factories and businesses, there are few people around you who are more capable than the old man." But when it comes to the countryside and farmers, it's not the old man who boasts, and there is no one around you who knows more than the old man. After all, the old man's family is a landlord, and he has been in contact with tenants since he was a child, and he has served as the county magistrate of Shaxian County for many years, but he has not encountered lawsuits between tenants and rents. ”

Saying that, he smiled heavily and looked at Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, how are you going to operate that 'rent reduction and interest reduction'?" How to subtract rent? How many percent of the paddy fields are? How much dry land? What is the algorithm for ploughing cattle? What if the landlord quits? How to reduce interest? What if the interest rate is reduced, and the rich refuse to lend? ”

"This ......" Hearing this series of questions, Chang Ruiqing couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows. He knew that that that kind of play would cause too much damage to the entire social production, and that once it was carried out, the only way to go down the road of proletarian revolution would be black. However, he did not know much about the "peaceful land reform" of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, and he had never lived in the countryside in his past or present life, and he knew nothing about the actual situation in the countryside.

Pan Yucheng just smiled faintly: "The old man has a little idea about these problems. For example, before the implementation of rent reduction and interest reduction, it is necessary to establish the 'perpetual tenant right', that is, the landlord is not allowed to propose to quit the tenant, in fact, in the countryside, because there are more contradictions caused by the quit of tenant than the level of land rent! At the same time as the establishment of the 'perpetual tenant right', it is also necessary to conduct a survey and registration of the land in the province to find out the specific situation, such as how much is paddy field. How much is dry land, how many are terraced fields in the mountains, and how many tea forests, mulberry forests, and orchards are there. It is also necessary to find out the specific situation of land rents in different areas and different types of fields, so that a reasonable rent reduction plan can be formulated, and there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to rent reduction, otherwise tenants who rent paddy fields will take advantage of it. Tenants who rent dry land may suffer a big loss...... This was followed by the establishment of the Fisheries and Farmers' Association. ”

"Fishermen's Association?" Chang Ruiqing gently repeated the somewhat familiar name.

Pan Yucheng nodded and said with a smile: "Fujian Linhai, the number of fishermen is also very large, we can't just ignore the farmers and ignore the fishermen, right?" And the responsibility of this fishery and farmers' association is not only to organize farmers and fishermen. ”

"Oh?" Chang Ruiqing responded, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "What is the responsibility of the Fishery and Farmers' Association?" ”

Pan Yucheng smiled: "Yaoru." Do you know what our farmers fear the most? ”

"Catastrophe **!" Chang Ruiqing blurted out.

"No, it's a loss for farming!" Pan Yucheng sighed softly: "It's okay to work hard, but after a year of hard work to survive, not only do you not make money, but you also have to post the book, that is the most miserable!" In fact, the risk of farming is very large, not only natural disasters, ** (referring to bandits, warlords), but also fluctuations in food prices. The harm of poor sales! Our fishery and farmers' associations are organizing farmers and fishermen at the same time. We should help farmers and fishermen make money...... I think the Fisheries and Farmers' Association should have a business function, which is to help farmers and fishermen sell their products, give them small low-interest loans, introduce high-quality and high-yield crops, and promote advanced production technology. They can even set up some factories to process fishery and agricultural products to help farmers and fishermen sell their products, and as far as I know, many overseas Chinese businessmen in Nanyang have made their fortunes in this business......

The more Weng and his son-in-law talked, the more in-depth they became. From the very beginning of the rural land reform, we talked about how to establish a complete set of rural management control systems. How to let Chang Ruiqing's regime really enter the Chinese countryside and really take root in the Chinese countryside. In the end, the two had a long talk all night.

In the early morning of the next day, a rural governance and reform plan that ruled the countryside with Yaoru Primary School and the grassroots government of townships and towns, used the fishermen's association to help the peasants (fishermen) organize the peasants (fishermen), united the poor peasants with rent and interest reduction, and alleviated the class contradictions in the countryside had basically taken shape in Chang Ruiqing's mind.

And the big landlord of Pan has also won the trust of the warlord Changda, and the future president of the Fujian Provincial Fishery and Farmers Association is none other than him!

……

Just when Chang Ruiqing ended his all-night long conversation with Pan Yucheng and was ready to start another day of warlord career. His representative, Jin Yongyan, was in the meeting room of the Generalissimo's Palace, waiting for Sun Yat-sen's reception.

The living room is a very spacious room, with mahogany floors, Western-style floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a circle of Western-style sofas, and a Western-style coffee table. Sun Yat-sen walked in with Song Qingling, first exchanged a few words with Jin Yongyan, and then sat on the sofa behind the coffee table. The attitude seems to be much colder than the last time I met Jin Yongyan, probably because of the assassination of Xu Zhuoran and Wang Rongguang, two revolutionaries, right?

"Xiaofeng, I heard Hu Zhantang say, you brought a plan to help me capture Liangguang this time?" Sun Yat-sen's tone was light, and he didn't seem to have much interest in capturing Liangguang.

Seeing Sun Yat-sen's attitude, Jin Yongyan felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said with sincerity: "Sir, I know that you are now bent on uniting with Lu Ganqing and Tang Beigeng (Tang Jiyao) to discuss Beiyang to maintain the legal system of the Republic of China." It's just that those two don't have much enthusiasm for protecting the Dharma now, especially after the resumption of the Civil War in September, they stepped up the process of negotiating peace with Feng Guozhang! Moreover, at the end of September, they also initiated a joint meeting of the provinces to protect the law, put forward the idea of reorganizing the military government, and some Kuomintang figures also came forward to put forward an "amendment to the outline of the organization of the ** government of the Republic of China," hoping to change the generalissimo system of the military government into a collegial system of the presidents of the military government.

Chang Yaoru's idea is to pay for guns from Fujian, support Jiang Jshi, Zang Zhiping, and Gao Yi to return to Guangdong, and eliminate the Gui warlords together with Chen Jingcun, Xu Ruwei's Guangdong army, and Li Xiehe's Yunnan army, and seize the territory of Liangguang! When the time comes, don't say that a generalissimo is the president, and Mr. Sun will not be able to do anything! ”

Sun Yat-sen raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Jin Yongyan, and said lightly: "Let Jiang Jishi, Zang Zhiping, and Gao Yi return to Guangdong, what about the territory of Zhangzhou and Xiamen?" Is it taken over by Chang Yaoru's troops? ”
