"Mr. Iron Niche, did you stay up all night yesterday?"

"Well, Liaoyang's data is exciting, and we must sort it out quickly. We have resettled a total of 80,000 victims, according to the calculation of five acres of land per person, we have allocated a total of 400,000 acres, and as a result, the common people have opened up nearly 200,000 acres of land, with an average yield of about 200 catties per mu, and each person can provide more than 70 million catties of commercial grain if they leave about 30 percent of their rations, which is not a small amount! ”

Since it is a farm, in the final analysis, it is necessary to ensure the supply of grain, and the leg of agriculture must be strengthened; according to the current output, the farm is more than 30 percent higher than the tenant model, and the farm will not hide all the rent collected by the landlords, as those landlords do, but will put grain into the market and turn it into a commodity, so that the grain supplied in the market will increase greatly.

This is also the advantage of the farm over the landlord, the landlord put himself in the opposite position with the peasants, so they must hoard a large amount of surplus grain, feed the thugs, rely on the strength to maintain their position, the grain that can be sold in their hands is actually very limited, they prefer to store the grain in the granary, piled up into a small mountain bag, they can rest assured, even the silver is buried in the ground, reluctant to take out.

"Mr. Iron Shrine, I also asked, this year's climate is not good, there was a period of drought, as a result, the farm relied on the construction of water conservancy, survived the difficult period, and the landlords they do not care about agricultural production, tenant farmers do not have this ability, the result is generally drought, the yield is reduced a lot, the gap between the two sides has been widened!"

"I think there will be a large number of tenant farmers who will abandon the landlords and switch to the farm model next year, so we must do a good job of guiding them!"

Wang Yongjiang originally needed three to five years to show results, but the results were achieved within a year. He couldn't help but sigh at the power of the advanced production model. In particular, this year's tenant farmers have suffered from drought, and next year there will certainly be people who will not be able to survive, and a large number of farmers on the verge of bankruptcy will certainly look forward to setting up farms, which is almost an inevitable trend and a result that the Mukden government is looking forward to seeing.

"Mr. Iron Shrine, seeing the situation in front of me, I can't help but think of the Qingmiao money of Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

Wang Yongjiang studied the gains and losses of the past dynasties, and was naturally no stranger to the Qingmiao Law, so he said: "Qingmiao money was originally lent to the people for emergency relief when the green and yellow were not accepted. A virtuous policy that allowed them to avoid bankruptcy, Wang Anshi initially made great achievements at the local level. As a result, after he took power, he was eager to promote it throughout the country, and as a result, there was a lot of complaints, and it was supposed to be a loan for the peasants. Zuihou and even the citizens have to be forcibly apportioned, which is ridiculous to the extreme. ”

Speaking of which. Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Humble Yan mentioned Wang Anshi at this time. There must be a deep meaning! ”

"It's not a deep meaning, the situation in various places is very different, the three eastern provinces have achieved results in the implementation of farms, if they are put in the customs, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos long ago, and even if the three eastern provinces are in turmoil. The interior isn't exactly the same either. In order to make a policy truly benefit the people and be implemented, we must first study the characteristics of various localities and prescribe the right medicine. The second is to have the right executives. Take Wang Anshi's reform of the law as an example, relying on a decaying bureaucratic system and a few speculators who are eager for quick success, no matter what laws and regulations are implemented, they will become a law that harms the people. ”

"That's right, a bunch of crooked-mouthed monks can't recite good scriptures! What does it mean to select the right officials? ”

"With this idea, there must be a large number of suitable talents to run a farm, otherwise I am worried that there will be problems when it is promoted on a large scale!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded thoughtfully, this is Zhang Tinglan's power, when others have no choice, he can find a way, when everyone is happy, he can put forward a warning in time, everything is one step ahead of everyone, this is the so-called foresight.

"Mr. Iron Shrine, I also know that there is a general shortage of suitable grassroots officials in Mukden, so I suggest that farmers with management experience and flexible minds be transferred from existing farms, and then given a special examination, and if they pass, they will enter the system of civil servants and be promoted like other officials!"

Zhang Tinglan raised the key issue of selecting officials at this time, Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but think carefully, since the Republic of China, has imitated the great powers, the implementation of the civil service examination system, the current officialdom is mainly two major liliang, one is through the examination into the officialdom of newcomers, this part of the general knowledge level is very high, and even have the experience of studying abroad. The second shili is the old officials left by the former Qing Dynasty, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty died in the country, but this group of people not only did not lay off, but lived more comfortably.

There are many problems of the old bureaucracy itself, so there is no need to go into detail, and a group of newcomers who have passed the examination and come in, they can't stand scrutiny, in fact, this is also a sadness in the Republic of China era, the old school characters are not good, and the new school characters are the same.

Because education is not widespread enough, most of the families of those who are able to read are very wealthy, and their circles are relatively small and intertwined with each other, and these people stand on the standpoint of their own class in everything they do, and only care about fighting for their own interests, which is why the old and new bureaucrats are in the same place.

Zhang Tinglan now proposed that officials be selected from the farms, in other words, let officials with peasant backgrounds enter the officialdom in large numbers and add fresh blood, and these officials from peasant backgrounds will speak from the standpoint of the broadest masses of peasants, thus breaking the original pattern.

Wang Yongjiang was so shrewd, he immediately saw through Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, he thought about it, and then asked: "Humble words, can these peasants be competent for the duties of officials?" I'm afraid their level of education is not good! ”

"Culture and ability are not completely equal, some people don't read much, but they have eloquence, such as our handsome, on the contrary, some people read more, but the worse their brains are, they don't understand the world at all, and they don't have any ability to do things. In addition, I think we can make up for it by other means, such as promoting literacy in various farms and even in the whole of Mukden from now on, so that everyone can read and write! ”

Zhang Tinglan has already carried out a literacy campaign in the army, allowing the soldiers to read and write, and the results are very satisfactory, and it is also urgent to extend this operation to the entire three eastern provinces.

Zhang Tinglan also paid attention to the industrial countries developed after World War II in later generations, and when the industry of these countries started rapidly, there was an important indicator, that is, the literacy rate should reach more than 70 percent, and the illiteracy rate should be less than 30 percent, which is the minimum population quality requirement for entering the industrial age.

Obviously, in the entire three eastern provinces, there are not even 30% of the literate people, and if you want to point to the slow development of education, it will be too slow, and large-scale literacy has become an inevitable choice.

Wang Yongjiang pondered Zhang Tinglan's words carefully, and he knew very well that large-scale literacy eradication was actually changing the social pattern, and the impact was incomparable. There is a legend in ancient times that after Cangjie made words, the sky rained, and the ghosts cried at night! This illustrates the importance of knowledge.

In the past dynasties of China, limited by the economic level, the power of reading and literacy fell into the hands of a small number of people, these people grasped the bureaucratic system, grasped the right to speak, and became the upper strata of society, and the whole society inevitably presented a polarized pattern, the poor have no place to stand, and the rich have no place to stand. Moreover, a small number of top layers, in order to protect their own interests, will ignore the interests of the country and become moths.

And once the large-scale literacy campaign is launched, knowledge enters the homes of ordinary people, and the people at the bottom can also access knowledge, they may not be as good as those who are wealthy, but they are better than the number of them, and the original upper strata of society will be completely broken.

"To put it mildly, whether it is the eradication of illiteracy or the election of officials among the peasants, it is a matter of great influence, and it will inevitably attract a strong backlash from all sides, and I am afraid that the opposition will definitely not be small!"

"That can't be tolerated and nurtured, if you want to let the three eastern provinces develop, it is imperative to improve the quality of the people, no one can stop it, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!"

Wang Yongjiang smiled bitterly: "Humble words, the murderous spirit is still so heavy, for the time being, we don't have so many talents in our hands, we must let those scholars do things for us, if you do this, it will be tantamount to directly declaring war, but it is not good." So I think this kind of thing can be done first, not to mention, Fengtian is also constantly increasing investment in education, spreading the whole work, and when we realize it, we have already done it! ”

"Mr. Iron Niche, it's your business anyway, but I think within ten years, we must reduce the illiteracy rate to less than half, otherwise industry will not be able to develop, and we will not be able to let a group of illiterate people control the machine!"

"Well, I'll find a way to make a specific charter, and you can't hide from it, but you also have to help me make suggestions!"

After discussing with Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan returned to her residence, it was already evening, in the small courtyard next to her, which was Zhou Xinyao's residence, the lights in the house were shaking, obviously Zhou Xinyao had not rested, and the little girl had been running with her for a few days, and it was also very hard.

Zhang Tinglan quietly found a wooden basin, filled it with hot water, found a few mugwort leaves and put them in, and came to the door of Zhou Xinyao's house. At this time, Zhou Xinyao's door suddenly opened, and I saw that she was also holding a wooden basin, steaming hot, and the two of them almost collided together, Zhou Xinyao was startled and almost threw the basin on the ground.

"Don't shout, you don't want everyone to see us like this!" Zhang Tinglan held the basin of water in both hands, and could only remind her in a low voice.

Zhou Xinyao barely stabilized her mind, and her eyebrows furrowed: "Humble words, what are you doing here, scare me!" ”

Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but smile: "Doctor Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

"I ......" Zhou Xinyao also suddenly understood, it turned out that the two of them thought of going together, and their little faces became red and red in an instant, and they lowered their heads, full of shyness, and with a hint of sweetness, they couldn't explain it.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and go inside, or the water will be cold!" (To be continued......)
