When Zhou Chen helped Wang Guorui dig the corner of the Beiyang Naval Division, Wang Guorui was doing a job in Taiwan, and this work was the focus of his future. This work is also to reduce rents and interest rates, and we must start to implement the policy of reducing rents and interest rates to win over the people's hearts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's military-political joint meeting is to convene an order on rent and interest reduction. In the future, Taiwan will implement a new policy, that is, the policy of reducing rents and interest rates during the 375th Five-Year Plan. The core of this policy, that is, the annual distribution of grain between the landlord and the tenant, will not exceed 375/1000 of the annual harvest according to the landlord's possession, and in common parlance it is 30/75 per cent. The landowner's annual harvest does not exceed this, and when there is a famine, it must be reduced. This is also the first policy of benefiting the people launched by our Taiwan Governor's Office, and I hope that the Propaganda Department of the Governor's Office will carry out propaganda and not let the people be deceived by those landlords! Wang Guorui said.

Two days later, Wang Guorui's 375 rent and interest reduction began to be implemented in Tainan, because Tainan is mainly agricultural, so the 375 rent and interest reduction was first implemented in Tainan. And this 375 rent reduction and interest reduction is actually Wang Guorui's learning from Lao Jiang in later generations. After the defeat of Chiang Lao and his retreat to Taiwan, he began to order Chen Chengcheng to reduce rents and interest rates by 375, that is, the annual harvest of the landlords could not exceed 37.5 percent, and the original agreement that did not reach 37.5 percent could not continue to increase. This policy can be said to have caused a sensation in Taiwan in later generations, when many farmers also greatly reduced the pressure, and the income of the people was greatly increased. You must know that the original lease agreement between the landlord and the tenant was at least 55 cents, and the landlord was 6 or 70 percent, while the tenant could only get 3 or 40 percent, so many peasant households could barely make ends meet. So. If Wang Guorui wants to win the hearts of the people, it is necessary to reduce rent and interest, and since there is a ready-made method that can be used, it can be used.

"Did you hear that? The Yamen of the Governor's Mansion ordered that in the future, the grain share between us and the Tian Dong family must be reduced, and Tian Dong has changed from five or five cents to the current three percent and seven cents and five cents. In the future, we can get more than sixty percent. One of the farmers shouted excitedly.

And other farmers also asked, "Really? Is there such a good thing? ”

It's really nice to hear that I can get more than sixty percent. After all, they could only get a maximum of 50 percent, a minimum of 3 or 40 percent, and the landlords could get more. But all people are unwilling, why can they only get less grain harvest if they work by themselves, but the landlord can get more without working? This is unfair to everyone, but this era is like this, what can they do? And now the Taiwan Governor's Office has actually ordered to reduce the landlords' land share. Let ordinary workers get more income, this makes them really happy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did the Governor's Mansion Yamen give this order? The order issued from above is that the tenant side can get at least 307 cents and 5 cents, and it is not our landlord's side, you are mistaken! A landowner said.

And these landlords, who are usually landowners, and they hold the cultural rights, they are also the lower gentry class, and they have the right to interpret policies. In many cases, the government from above gave orders. It was up to these squires to carry out the order, and these squires helped the government to carry out the order. And they have the right to interpret policies, so they can get a lot of benefits from it. You must know that those ordinary peasant households are uneducated in this era, and the people in this era have not enjoyed any compulsory education, so naturally they cannot understand the propaganda of the government. And this qiē is all up to the landlord to explain, if the landlord deliberately distorts the policy of the imperial court, then I am afraid there is really no way.

And now this landlord is hoping to change his story. Replacing the original proportion of landlords with a maximum of 37.5 percent to a peasant household with a minimum of 37.5 percent is tantamount to turning Wang Guorui's decree of the Governor's Office into a dead letter. After all, if peasant households can receive a minimum of 37.5 percent, then this is no different from ordinary landlords and tenants, and many landlords also give 55 cents to peasant households, or even 40 percent to peasant households. That's 37.5 percent higher. After such a change in the landlord's explanation, a policy of benefiting the people has actually become this kind of meaningless policy. This is also the so-called policy at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom.

Sure enough, the peasants were also very disappointed when they heard the landlord's explanation. After all, if farmers can get a minimum of 37.5 percent, then this is not as good as usual! Perhaps quite a number of landlords even took the opportunity to reduce the amount to 37.5 percent for peasant households, and then rightfully said that this was an order from the Taiwan Governor-General's Office. And these landlords have absolutely no good people, they use the right to interpret policies to gain benefits, and then distort many good policies into policies that conform to their ideas. And now the landlord saw that the people were also disappointed, and he also smiled, because he knew that he still followed the past method and distorted the government's policy of benefiting the people to make profits, and such a method was tried and tested repeatedly. But he didn't know that the so-called cleverness of these landlords had already been known by Wang Guorui, and he had already had a solution to this problem.

"Dangdangdang......"

Just when everyone was disappointed, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and many people dressed in various clothes came to the village. And everyone was very surprised, they didn't know what these singers were doing. These people knew at a glance that they were singing people, but what were they doing in the village at this time?

"Folks, we are the second propaganda team under the Propaganda Department of the Governor-General's Office of Taiwan, and we are now responsible for publicizing the policies of the Governor-General's Office. And we will be going to put on a series of performances to promote the new policy of the Governor's Palace, and what kind of benefits the new policy can bring to everyone. Please also come and take a look and learn about the new deal together! The captain of the second propaganda team said.

Soon, the propaganda team began to perform in the village, and they passed some comedy sketches similar to those of later generations, and then began to perform the so-called new policy. They were able to effectively integrate those new policies into the sketches, and publicize them to the hearts of the people in a form that everyone likes.

"I see, it turns out that the order of the Taiwan Governor's Office is that the landowners can get 30% 7/5%, and we can get more than 60%, which is really good. The landlord just now was too unauthentic, and he actually said nonsense about what we, the tenants, could get at least 30% and 7.5 cents, which was really hateful. The good policies of the Governor's Mansion have been distorted so much by them, this is simply unreasonable! Someone immediately shouted angrily.

"Yes! The Governor's Mansion loves our people, but they have deliberately tampered with it, which is simply hateful. "Let the Governor punish them!" ……

Soon, the peasants saw the new policy in these performances, and understood its benefits, and expressed their disgust at the landlords who lied and distorted the orders of the Doge's Palace. And the landlords who distorted the policy just now also felt that they were not human beings inside and out, after all, they had just talked nonsense, but now they were exposed, which made them really feel that they had been slapped in the face. Moreover, they distorted the policy of the Governor's Palace, which had already caused their image to suffer a blow in the hearts of the people below, so they felt that their faces were hot.

"See? These are the images of those landlords, who do not think about how to reduce the burden of the people, nor how to implement the policies of our Governor's Palace, and actually distort the decrees of our Governor's Palace. They said it well, saying that our Governor's Office guarantees a minimum harvest of no less than 37.5 percent for the peasants. Hmph, is this kind of policy interesting? Wang Guorui snorted.

Wang Guorui has long known the virtues of these landlords from later generations, and they will definitely not give up their vested interests, and they will definitely use their own policy interpretation power to secretly change concepts. But they miscalculated, Wang Guorui came directly to a direct propaganda by the Governor's Palace. The Propaganda Department of the Governor's Office has begun to "co-opt" a number of civilian performance teams, and then let them enter the civil service of the Governor's Palace, and then go down as a propaganda team to publicize the new policies. In this way, the policies of the Governor's Office could be publicized to the hearts of ordinary people in a variety of popular forms.

In the future, Wang Guorui will inevitably master more propaganda means, and in this way, he will be able to grasp the right of public opinion propaganda. In ancient times, didn't those so-called scholars and scholars rely on the power of public opinion and propaganda to oppose the policies of the government? They are very good at inciting the people, and confusing the people, turning the court's policies for the benefit of the people into policies that harm the people. Therefore, Wang Guorui naturally wanted to prevent this kind of thing from happening, that is, he began to form a propaganda team. This method was learned from the government of later generations, and directly publicized the government's policies to the hearts of ordinary people, so that they would no longer be confused by the landlords. In this way, those landlords could not make profits by distorting the meaning of the policy, and the governor's palace was able to grasp the power of public opinion propaganda, so that they could twist the people into a rope in the future.
