Section 39 How to dispose of land

At this time, the independent regiment had been completely stationed in Yifeng County, and the station in Chenjia Village had not been withdrawn, and Shi planned to use it as a training base for recruits. It is more convenient for recruits to be stationed outside the city, and it is very close to the county seat, once something happens, it can also be dealt with in a timely manner, and the most important thing is that it is stationed outside the city without disturbing the people, which will be very conducive to the stability of Yifeng.

Just as Xue Yue, acting commander of the 9th Theater Theater, temporarily acted as chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, the military and political affairs in Hunan, Jiangxi, and other places at this time were all under the responsibility of the commander of the unit. The situation here in Yifeng is even more special, the local officials were almost killed by stones, so everything was attributed to the independent regimental headquarters.

For local affairs, Shi Shi doesn't understand, Liu Wenfeng and they don't understand even more, although Wu Zihuai knows a little bit about it, but he is not very proficient, but Lin Xiufeng has shown strong political ability in this regard, and he handles all affairs in an orderly manner, which surprises everyone, but after thinking about it carefully, they are immediately relieved. After all, Lin Xiufeng was born in a wealthy family, and the children of these families have to accept political and business studies since they were young, and they are naturally no strangers to them. Although he is not as familiar with the road as those officials and old officials, at least he will not be blinded.

The so-called civil affairs, one is taxation, two is relief, and three is to arrest thieves, and if these three major matters are handled well, there will be no major mistakes. After thinking about it again, he made some personnel appointments and adjustments, and after Lin Xiufeng was attached to the regiment, he was in charge of Yifeng's civil affairs, and he was responsible for all local government affairs. In terms of taxation, it was responsible for the original field grain section chief Hu Linglong, this time the stone was killed, Hu Linglong made a lot of efforts, which also made him completely offended the local Haoqiang, he can only follow the stone headlines now, otherwise, one day the corpse on the street does not know, more importantly, although Hu Linglong is timid and afraid, but he is unusually familiar with the tax, everyone's tax situation, he can actually remember all in his mind, this alone, is not ordinary people can do. Gong Suchang is in charge of the anti-theft part, and the militia group in Yifeng County will be managed by him in the future, so that he is really black and white, but Gong Suchang's situation is the same as Hu Linglong, except for following the stone, there is no other way out.

After the personnel are arranged, the next issue to be discussed is the large area of land, so many fertile land, it must not be wasted, but how to use it is also a difficult problem.

Shi wanted to give this part of the land to the brothers in the regiment, after all, the brothers sacrificed their lives to fight for more than two years, and finally settled down, and it was also good to have a piece of land to live on. But as soon as his proposal came out, it was opposed by everyone, including Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang and Gao Da Hammer and others, who opposed it in unison, which immediately made Shishi's eyes widen, and it was the first time in more than two years that such a situation had happened.

Wu Zihuai and others then also objected, not that the idea of the stone was bad, but his approach was obviously for the sake of the brothers in the regiment, with the field and the roots, the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the regiment to defend the family and the land will be even higher, and they will be more and more willing to sacrifice themselves and forget death in the future! But people always need to plant the fields, right? The soldiers have all gone to farming, where will the energy come from for training, and how can the combat effectiveness of the troops be guaranteed? There is another point, after the devil takes Nanchang, it is equivalent to opening up the passage to Changsha, and the battle to defend Changsha may start at any time. Is the grain still harvested?

It is true that these problems are really difficult to deal with, and with the current situation of the independent regiment, it really does not have the energy to take care of them, but these fields must not be empty, right?

After everyone was silent for a while, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Hu Zi, put forward his own opinions, Hu Zi was ordered to take the brothers of the cavalry battalion to take over the defense of Yifeng towns a few days ago, and now the situation has stabilized, he also returned to Yifeng with the cavalry battalion, they are not suitable for long-term dispatch because of the war horse, with the current situation in all parts of the country, people can not support the situation, let alone the war horse. Now that he has caught up with this meeting, Beard also took the opportunity to put forward his own opinions. He, Zhao Yidao and other brothers are all from civilian backgrounds, and they only went up to the mountains to become horse bandits when they had no way to live, and their desire for land and survival is far stronger than others.

He felt that it was right for the stone to distribute the land to the brothers of the independent regiment, but there was also some attention to the division of land, not to cultivate it by himself after dividing it, which would not only delay the training of the soldiers, but also delay the cultivation of the land.

After saying this, everyone on the side immediately made a commotion, and after the land was divided, did they not plant it themselves? What's going on here? Even the stone was quite curious, and he didn't know what strange ideas were in the beard's head.

Hu Zi looked at everyone, then at Zhao Yidao, and at the encouraging eyes cast by his brother, he said eloquently, the land is divided, but the use and management must be carried out in a unified manner, that is to say, the land is nominally the soldiers of the independent regiment, but he has no right to use it, and the right to use the land is still controlled by the regiment headquarters and allocated by the whole regiment.

This is even more strange, your own land can't be used by yourself, so can you still call it your own? Isn't this, fooling people!

Hu Zi didn't care about everyone's words, and continued, all the land was arranged and leased out by the regiment headquarters, using the method of fifteen taxes and one [note], half of which was handed over as a field tax, half as the harvest of the owner of the field, and the rest as the income of the cultivated people, so that they could support their families, especially in the case of the people in Nanchang, Gao'an, Xiushui and other places constantly fleeing south, a large area of land was enough to feed a large number of people, especially in this way, the officers and men in the army no longer had to worry about military salaries, and they could fight with peace of mind.

When everyone heard what Beard said, their eyes couldn't help but light up, if it was really as Beard said, it was indeed a good way! These fields do not need to be cultivated by the soldiers of the regiment, do not occupy their training time, and do not even need them to worry about it, so that they can have a good harvest, which is enough to solve their worries and let them fight with peace of mind. On the other hand, the common people who have become displaced people because of the war can also have a foothold, although the land is not theirs, but it is better to work for the army than to work for those landlords, right? After all, the army is full of heroes who defend the country and kill devils, and in any respect, they are much better than the landlord.

Stone is thinking more, all the time, he has been a headache for the rewards of the veterans in the regiment, take this time, although the expansion of the independent regiment, a large number of veterans have been promoted to squad platoon commanders, but there are too many veterans in the regiment, especially the first battalion and three companies, many of them are from Luodian began to follow him to fight, they have no culture, they don't know a big word, when a squad platoon commander has reached the sky, as for the company commander and above, illiterate, can not recognize the combat map, it is still more troublesome, but a battle is down, It is always these veterans who have made the most military exploits, and the stone already has a feeling that there is no reward. And now with land is different, you can use land as a reward according to the military merits of the soldiers, the Chinese have always had a deep-rooted concept of land, most of the feelings are often pinned on these lands, carrying their heads and desperately killing devils, in the end there can be a piece of land to live as a reward, this is what countless soldiers dream of.

Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai has experienced a lot of things and is very experienced, and while everyone is excited, he can't help but ask, is the tax method of fifteen taxes and one too heavy? After all, the local land tax is only 30 taxes and 1, and the people are willing to pay such a high tax on their land?

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, the stone's gaze swept over Hu Linglong, who seemed to want to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but encourage: "Section Chief Hu has something to say, please speak up, when we have a meeting, there has always been one thing to say, two to say, there is no need to have the slightest concern." ”

Hu Linglong was obviously not used to this kind of meeting, but seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he gritted his teeth and got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, the tax of fifteen taxes and one is already a very light tax for the local government. Since the 25th year of the Republic of China, the government ordered the abolition of miscellaneous taxes 31, the people need to pay about 15 taxes, generally speaking, a family works hard, after paying the taxes, enough to stay to survive, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to complete the central government's additional distribution, local governments set up private taxes in various places, collect taxes and grain, and it is good to have 30% of the income of an acre of land for themselves. Local levels at all levels are already anxious to complete the additional tasks, where can they have money and food to help the people? In the end, you can only sell women and children, and change children to eat! Although the 15-tax method is quite a lot, as long as it ensures that there are no other additional taxes and can provide timely relief in case of disasters, it is enough to ensure local stability. ”

Although Shi knew the hard work of the local people, he didn't expect them to be miserable to such a situation, ten percent of the income is only two to three layers of his own, and the hard work of the year is over, and his family can't even fill his stomach, in such a situation, who still has the heart to work? No wonder there are so many bandits in various places, no wonder there are constantly rebellions in various places, the roots are rotten, what can be solved by relying on the troops to quell the rebellion?

And Hu Zi and the others clenched their fists through gritted teeth, and there was nowhere to vent their sad tears, why did they want to be horse bandits? It's not that this world forces people to live anymore, so they are playing with their heads! I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, who doesn't want to live a peaceful and stable life?

[Note: The so-called "15th tax one" means that after the landlord collects 5/10 of the land output, that is, half of the land rent, from the tenant farmers, the landlord then pays the state one-tenth of the land output. That is, the output of the land is 10 shares, and after the landlord and the tenant farmer open the five-fifty shares, the landlord pays another tax to the state. It's not that the yield is divided into fifteen portions and one of them is handed in! 】
