It would be a big mistake to think that the landlords have more land and live comfortably on rent, because the landlords actually have much more than that, they are the mediators of local disputes, the biggest money lenders in the region, and at the same time they will help the government collect all kinds of taxes, and they rely on the wealth in their hands to raise thugs, build up armies, and even deal in opium.

Some bad landlords openly rob men and women, and even some landlords in mountainous areas also have the right to women's first night, they are not only local administrators, but also law enforcers, and at the same time the landlord's family can support their children's learning, they have mastered knowledge, have the right to speak culturally, it can be said that they are the emperors of the soil.

The existence of a large number of landlords is a cancer that seriously restricts rural development and is also an obstacle to building a modern society. For this kind of stratum, it must be destroyed, and of course direct violent destruction is very difficult, and it can only be done piecemeal first.

When Zhang Tinglan implemented the militia system, he began to do a job, that is, to confiscate the guns in the hands of the landlords, who originally owned a large number of weapons under the banner of self-defense. Generally, small landlords also have more than a dozen guns of various kinds in their homes, and there are hundreds of them.

Now that local security is taken over by the militia, their weapons must be surrendered and then handed over to the militia for use. Whether you want it or not, the powerful force of the Feng army is behind, and if you don't listen, you can clean them up at any time.

The land allocated this time was mainly to the victims of the disaster and tenants in various localities, and the land they had rented was now their own as long as they could work hard for five years, so their enthusiasm was extremely high.

According to the regulations, each person could be allocated five acres of land, and the first to get the land were the more than 3,000 hungry people, to whom Bishun's land was allocated. Although it is the middle of winter, these people still can't help but look around every day. After the land is divided, lots are drawn to determine the ownership.

After a lot of intense work, they all had their own land, along with farm tools and ploughing cattle. Zhang Tinglan also auctioned the confiscated manor to the public, and distributed thirty percent of the income to the peasants, which was used as their settling-in allowance, and everyone could get three or five pieces of ocean, although it was not much, but it was also a windfall, and a little more was accumulated. You can have money to build a house, and you will have a place to live.

For these people, this is already the greatest luck, and their gratitude to Zhang Tinglan has reached an overwhelming level, and they ignore the cold winter. Almost every day, I ran to the head of the field to clean the ridges. Plan the direction of the canal. Arrange a suitable wellhead location.

In addition to this, the biggest thing is to form a militia team, more than 3,000 people, a total of 100 militiamen, all the strongest young men, they have to train every day. He is then responsible for security patrols in the vicinity.

After their patrols began, it also marked the end of the landlords' armed forces, all the guns and ammunition were handed over, and the thugs who had been raised were also disbanded. If you harbor Jiangyang thieves, bandits and bandits, you will be severely punished.

These landlords also want to resist, but their strength is very limited, originally the most powerful is the Eight Banners nobles, but they are all stained with treason, no one dares to come out to find death, without a leader, these small and medium-sized landlords have no backbone, can only be disposed of by the Feng army.

What's more, there are even more terrible things, the tenant farmers under them have also moved their minds, the land is about the same rent, people work for five years, and the land is their own, but they can't get a piece of land in their own life, what a gap.

Therefore, some flexible tenant farmers took the initiative to pretend to be disaster victims, and also asked for the distribution of land, Zhang Tinglan was also happy to do so, anyway, there is surplus land in his hands, if he can take advantage of this opportunity to shake the control of the landlord class, it would be better, fight for one more peasant, the shili in his hands will be stronger, and the traditional shili will be weaker.

All affairs are spreading rapidly, although it is still winter, but the people of southern Liaoning have felt the breath of spring in advance, more and more people have their own land, and they are full of hope for the future.

"Clumsy words, everyone is busy over there, you can't hide alone, you must know that the idea is all yours."

"Neighbor, you have to be reasonable, I came up with an idea, so I want you to implement it, I can't do everything alone, then you, and County Magistrate Deng, aren't they all unemployed!"

"Sharp teeth, I won't fight with you." Yang Yuting said with a smile again: "Humble words, I heard that you have borrowed money from the bank again, and the amount is not small, I am afraid that there will be a big move." ”

"It's not a big deal, I'm going to build a coal-iron joint venture factory."

When Yang Yuting heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he grabbed Zhang Tinglan: "Humble words, you're not kidding, the steel plant is a big thing, with steel, there is a military industry, this is the foundation of everything." ”

War is the collision of steel, to measure a country's war potential, the output of steel is the most important part, the so-called ship is strong, artillery is nothing more than the accumulation of steel.

Since the Opium War, China has been repeatedly bullied by the West, and the most fundamental thing is the backwardness of industry, which is clear to many people. But to be clear, it's not that easy to actually build a factory.

First of all, there is the issue of investment, heavy industry is not better than light industry, it requires a large amount of investment for a long time, and the early products are not as good as foreign countries in terms of cost and quality, so the government must provide protection. However, the Chinese government is divided again, and does not even have the most basic tariff autonomy, so how can Western goods develop heavy industry if they can drive straight in.

Now most of the factories owned by China are left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there are almost no new factories, and now Zhang Tinglan suddenly said that he wants to build a steel plant, how can Yang Yuting be excited, it is really going to be built, and the development of Fengjun is bright.

"Neighbor Ge, we will distribute the land to the people this time, in the next five years, the people will have to hand over half of the harvest, I use this part of the harvest as collateral, to borrow from Fengtian Bank, at least a few million, and then let the industrial group invest a part, the government will take out some more, and the problem of funds will be solved." The machine is purchased from the United States, and the Jishu workers are abducted and deceived in Russia, which is really not good, and a few Japanese can be hired, and the location is chosen in Benxi, what do you think? ”

Zhang Tinglan said very generally, but Yang Yuting could also hear that Zhang Tinglan had already planned in all aspects, and he had to admire this young man's ability to use the topic.

"To put it mildly, it is naturally best to establish a steel plant, but without our own talents, it is all dependent on foreigners, and we are not at ease."

"How can it all depend on foreigners, have you forgotten Mr. Kwong Rongguang, he inspected the coal mine in Benxi ten years ago, and now he is familiar with the road, and there is no problem."

Yang Yuting nodded, and then said: "Most of the mining area in Benxi has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company has been established. ”

"What else can we do if we don't do this, if we want to be independent, if we want to develop and grow, we have to work hard, this is no way."

"Well, if Japan is allowed to develop, the three eastern provinces will be theirs sooner or later, so it's better to sit back and wait for a fight."

Zhang Tinglan also thought about building a factory in other places, but considering the traffic and safety, Zuihou still chose Benxi, although there is a Japanese shili, but it is just in the hinterland of Mukden, if the Japanese dare to use force, the Feng army will cut off the South Manchurian railway, as long as the Feng army is strong enough, who will die, it is not yet known.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan is also ready to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain real evidence of the Japanese support for the revolutionary party, so that they will be disgraced in the international community, suppress their arrogance, and provide the possibility for Fengjun to build factories.

Of course, the investigation still needs time, and the temporary task is to stabilize southern Liaoning, and Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed the issue of Zhuanghe again.

"To put it mildly, the intelligence officers we sent to Zhuanghe have already sent news that the revolutionary parties from all over southern Liaoning are gathering in Zhuanghe, and the number has exceeded two or three thousand, and they have also seen many Japanese hauntings, most of them are helping to formulate combat plans, train troops, and may even participate in the battle after putting on makeup."

When Yang Yuting said this, he was also worried, and Zhang Tinglan was also frowning.

"Neighbor, you say that I am idle, in fact, I have been thinking about countermeasures, the revolutionary party and the Zongsha party are the two cards in the hands of the Japanese, we abolish the Zongsha party, the Japanese will definitely pay more attention to the revolutionary party, and hold it more rigidly, we must work out a perfect method to be able to eradicate them in one fell swoop, and we must also cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to leave future troubles."

"In a humble way, I suggest that we should first conduct an inventory of the neighboring Haicheng and Yingkou areas, and push the militia system away. In this way, those revolutionary parties will have no room for survival, and they will gather in Zhuanghe, and the more this rabble gathers, the less effective it will be, on the contrary, they will scatter to various places, like flies, and the ghosts will not disperse, which is the most troublesome. ”

Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed countermeasures, but the military adviser sent by Japan, Honjo Shigeru, was furious, and in a few days, the corners of his mouth grew a big bubble, and his temper was extremely irritable.

As soon as this guy left Longtou Mountain, the Feng army was killed, and Pu Wei's armed force was completely finished, not only was it finished, but Pu Wei, who had no bones, also supplied the Japanese, and as a result, it attracted international pressure, and the Japanese government's situation was extremely difficult, and the pressure on Honzhuang can be imagined.

"Mr. Advisor, the Shili of the Feng army in southern Liaoning is getting bigger and bigger, do you think our uprising is delayed?" He Tianjiong was worried.

"No, absolutely not, the Jihua of the Great Japanese Empire cannot be changed, you must act immediately, I want to let the bastard who dares to be big with the Empire taste the iron fist of the Empire." Honjo Shigeru barked like a mad dog. (To be continued......)
