Chapter 361 Lecture on Land Issues

The commercial real estate planned by the Ministry of Construction in Sanya New Town is actually far more than just "Sanya Garden". The reason why it has attracted widespread public attention is mainly because the sale price of "Sanya Garden" is sky-high for ordinary people. Even if

It is the cheapest garden house. One unit is equivalent to the price of a house for eight naturalized residents. Although ordinary people cannot afford it, they will inevitably discuss it. Fortunately, local naturalized residents can enjoy a certain standard of living.

Guarantee has not been exploited to the point where it is difficult to survive, so the public does not have any hatred against the rich because of this.

In addition to high-end commercial and residential communities such as "Sanya Garden", the Ministry of Construction has certainly not forgotten the large number of ordinary migrant workers, as well as some wealthy households who have taken the initiative to move to the Sanya area. Most of the migrant workers are from various maritime trades

Subordinate personnel need to be permanently stationed in the Sanya area. According to statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, there are currently more than 200 shopkeepers, managers, etc. dispatched by foreign merchants to the local area. From the counties under Yazhou

, even in Danzhou and other places in the north, there are many wealthy households who plan to move to Sanya for various reasons. These people have a certain economic foundation and have certain requirements for the living environment. After all, they live in Shangzhan Inn.

Farming a place is not a long-term solution. You will eventually have to buy a house.

The Ministry of Construction has launched commercial apartments priced at 500 to 800 yuan per unit for this consumer group who will not take the initiative to join the naturalized residents in the short term. However, the quality of this kind of house is actually no better than that purchased by naturalized residents.

The Anju housing is much better, it’s just a tube building with a slightly larger floor area. But for outsiders who are eager to find a fixed residence in the local area, there is no choice, so they have to buy this business apartment which is not very cost-effective.

, or else just continue to stay in hotels and business stations.

In addition to economic considerations, there are also political reasons for this type of residential area planned for outsiders. This is a system established by the executive committee early on to group the residences of outsiders together to facilitate the relevant departments.

Registration and regulation.

As early as last year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs had begun to launch a household registration system for naturalized residents, registering people, and gradually improving the government affairs system. As the Sanya area becomes more prosperous, the number of foreigners has gradually increased, and the local government has launched a household registration system for naturalized residents.

The laws and regulations enacted do not fully apply to outsiders, which requires relevant departments to increase the supervision of outsiders. To achieve this effect, the most efficient way is to restrict the activities of outsiders.

scope, especially where they live and work.

After the Military and Police Ministry was split, the Police Department was incorporated into the newly established Ministry of Justice, but its establishment did not increase much. The Executive Committee allocated most of its resources to the military, so that the police were often stretched.

, it is often necessary to second people from militia or vigilante groups in certain public places to help maintain public security. The plan launched by the Ministry of Construction to concentrate the foreign population has simply helped the police department a lot.

While Sanya New City is gradually becoming more lively due to the rise of real estate, large-scale farm development organized by the Ministry of Agriculture is also in full swing in the coastal plain area in the upper reaches of the Liangjiang River area, about ten miles away from the coast.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Agriculture, this area with very rich water conservancy resources will continue to be developed in the next two to three years, and the planting of food and cash crops will be promoted on a large scale in units of 1,000 acres. In the face of this kind of collective farm

The local small and medium-sized landowners are the ones who have been most affected by this traditional business model.

Because the Haihan people offered higher remuneration and better treatment, many long-term workers and even tenants who had previously worked for landlords quit their jobs and joined Haihan. Some farmers who only had a small amount of land also chose to sell their land to Haihan and then enter

Naturalized people work in the system, and the remuneration they can get far exceeds what they can earn from cultivating the fields themselves. This has led to labor shortages in many landowners' families and large areas of land abandoned. The Haihan people transported large quantities of high-quality rice from Annan.

, and greatly lowered the price of rice in the local market, making it almost unprofitable for large local grain growers. The Yazhou government is also putting pressure on the landowners through various methods, hoping that they can "actively"

The land in his name was sold to the wealthy Haihan people.

However, in this land-based society, there are still many people who are unwilling to sell the land assets accumulated by their ancestors for generations. The Executive Committee has already anticipated this situation and has not implemented compulsory acquisitions for these people.

Instead, they adopted a laissez-faire attitude—if you don’t want to sell the land, then just hold on to it and wait to die.

Whether it is cultivating fields or building water conservancy projects, collective farms under the Ministry of Agriculture have advantages that are far beyond the reach of ordinary landowners. Thousands of people are often mobilized to work, and the Ministry of Agriculture uses a large number of human and mechanical tools in the process, making

The work efficiency is far better than the scattered work of farmers at the same time. If the landowners plan to grow some food for themselves, it is probably enough, but if they want to sell it out, they will definitely not be able to sell it to collective farms with extremely low production costs. Besides food,

In addition, most of the daily necessities on the ground in Yazhou are now directly or indirectly supplied by the Chuanchuan Group. People who do not cooperate with the Chuanchuan Group can find it difficult to buy even salt. Therefore, although there are still

There are many landowners, but their lives are not easy at all now, and they are literally trapped on their own land.

In fact, there are still quite a few people among the people who don't quite understand the policies of the Executive Committee. Although most of these people went bankrupt because they suffered various oppressions from the landlord class and finally defected to the Crossing Group, but

They do not quite agree with the land system implemented by the Chuanchuan Group and its attitude towards landlords - after all, every poor person in this era has or has had a dream of being a landlord.

This kind of backward ideological understanding is not limited to individual individuals. When the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture were promoting land policies, they found that grassroots staff were resistant to their work because many people did not understand why privately owned land must be transferred

The land was reverted to public ownership, and in the future it will be impossible to purchase privately owned land from the collective.

In response to this situation, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Propaganda jointly organized a workshop, intending to train some grassroots cadres to help them understand and implement the current land policy. As the chief lecturer of the Chuanchuan Group, Ning Qi frequently

I will also go to workshops to teach students, brainwash them, and answer all kinds of weird questions from them.

"Mr. Ning, I have a question."

After Ning Qi finished his lecture, he saw someone raising his hand, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

The practitioner then said, "I recently went to the landlord's house to do some work. The landlord said, we cultivate our own land and have never provoked the Haihan Executive Committee. Why do we have to try our best to take over our land? I don't know how to answer them.

That's great, please teach me Mr. Ning."

"I'm afraid you are not the only one who has encountered this situation. I think most of the people here have encountered similar problems at work, right?" Ning Qi saw that most of the students below were nodding lightly, and he knew something in his mind.

, and then said: "This sounds like a question of justice. If what we do lacks legitimate reasons and is not moral, then you seem to be unable to do it with confidence, or even persuade yourself to carry out the orders of your superiors.

Order, is that it?”

"Then we might as well spend some time today to talk about the issue of land ownership." Ning Qi turned back and wrote the word "land" on the blackboard: "Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the previous dynasties, no matter what

Over time, only the upper strata of society, those who are qualified to decide land ownership, will change. The people at the lower strata, including the landlords who question your work, actually do not have any interference in the land ownership system. They are just like this.

They are just vested interests in this system, so they must safeguard this land system that is beneficial to them and oppose all policies that may deprive them of their rights and interests.”

"Let's first take a look at the role played by the landlord class in society." Ning Qi wrote the word "official" on the blackboard, and then wrote "peasant" below it, pointing to the blank space in the middle.

Said: "Between the government and the peasants, there are the landlords and gentry. In this social system, they serve as the middle class between the government and the peasants, controlling the stability of society. They rely on the land to collect rent and lend money to accumulate personal wealth.

They use wealth to gain social status, monopolize rural handicrafts and commerce, manage clan affairs and religious organizations, and constantly grow their own power. What about farmers? I think you all have personal experience. After a year of hard work, in the end, only enough is enough.

If something happens to the family, they can only borrow money from the landlords in the same village. If there is a famine, they often have to mortgage their fields to the landlords in exchange for food. When the debts are not repaid,

He lost his family property and became a refugee. Many of you must have come to Victory Port this way, right?"

Many of the students in the audience nodded silently. If they hadn't lost their family property, how could they have ended up in such a remote place as Victory Port to work? Of course, judging from the current living conditions, it would be a good idea to settle down in this place.

It's not a bad thing, it can even be said to be a great blessing in my life.

"What did these landlords do after they exploited you?" Ning Qi unknowingly pitted the students against the landlords subtly: "Because the knowledge in their minds is limited and they cannot be like us.

In this way, various commodities are produced to make money, so the way they can think of to make money is to continue to exploit and squeeze you. They dare not squander it, and they are unwilling to turn their money into capital and invest it in industry and commerce, so they can only use it to buy

More land, and then squeeze more farmers through land annexation.”

"Take the farm we are currently cultivating near Fenghuang Town as an example. You also know that we have organized and built a large number of water diversion and irrigation projects in the local area, covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres. From your perspective, these projects can

Can it be achieved by relying on a certain landowner or a certain village?"

Seeing the students in the audience shaking their heads, Ning Qi continued: "According to convention, such a large project can only be organized and implemented by the local government, but can the Yacheng government manage it? Will it? Obviously the officials have not.

Such interest and motivation have not existed before and are unlikely to exist in the future. Why? Because these lands do not belong to them at all, and the benefits obtained have nothing to do with them. After a good harvest, maybe he can add something to the memorial and give himself

Even if a good leader has a good political performance, if there is a bad harvest or disaster, it will not affect the official position under his butt. So this is a dead end. People with land do not have the ability to increase productivity, and those who have the ability do not have enough benefits.

Push, the root of this contradiction still lies in the land system!"

"Many of you think there are problems with the current land policy of the Executive Committee. They are just thinking that you may one day become landlords. Well, I can tell you now that being a landlord will not solve the fundamental problem. Landlords

The social wealth occupied is not as much as you think."

Ning Qi looked at the doubtful expressions of the students and continued: "Let me take Fenghuang Town as an example to explain. According to the land information provided to us by the Yacheng government, Fenghuang Town has 50% of the existing cultivated land.

They belong to self-cultivating farmers, who account for less than one-third of the local residents. The other half of the land belongs to local landlords, and their proportion of the population is even lower, less than one-tenth. If the farmers in Fenghuang Town divide the local area equally

Will farmers become rich if they own all the cultivated land? No. A few more acres of land will not be enough to change the economic situation of farmers, because under the private land ownership system, productivity cannot be significantly improved.

Students who have questions about this issue can compare the grain output of this summer's harvest in Fenghuang Town and Shengli Port area, and the facts will tell you how powerful the collective farms are."

"I have three questions. I hope the students can think carefully and find out the root of the problem. First, under the land system of the Ming Dynasty, between landlords and farmers who rent land, who is supporting whom? Second

Second, why do the poor become poor, and why do the rich become rich? Third, should farmers pay land rent to landlords?"

Ning Qi wrote down these three questions on the blackboard, and then said to the students: "Many people, including you, believe that if there is no land of their own, or no landlord is willing to rent out the land, then farmers must

Starving to death, so in order to survive, you must find ways to purchase land or maintain the current land system. But is this really the case? You have been here for a while, you do not have your own land, and you have not been engaged in farming, but you

You are not living well now, and I believe you will live more like a human being than before you came to Victory Port, rather than a slave to the land! Will people starve to death if they are separated from the land? Maybe under the Ming Dynasty, but under the Ming Dynasty,

Under the rule of the Haihan Executive Committee, this situation will never happen! Because we have a better and more mature social system that can feed more people through social division of labor."

"Some people may ask, since Haihan's system can allow people to live off the land, why do we need to acquire more land?" Ning Qi drank some water to moisten his throat and looked at the students below, whose eyes gradually brightened.

They continued: "The advantage of the Haihan system is that it can effectively utilize labor and produce output in an efficient production method. Whether it is food or other products, our production costs are much lower than those of the Ming Dynasty. We

It is precisely because of this that our products sell well, and in exchange for more wealth, we can provide a better living environment for you here. Have you ever had the living treatment you enjoy in Victory Port in the past?"

The students in the audience shook their heads collectively. Indeed, everything they enjoyed after coming here was unmatched before. The comprehensive guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by the executive committee made it impossible for these people who could not even keep their own property to be picky anymore.

What. This is the biggest reason why they are willing to stay here and continue to work with the executive committee even if they cannot own their own land.

"But those who can enjoy the treatment of naturalized citizens are only a very small number of people under the Ming Dynasty. The ideal of the Executive Committee is to let as many Chinese people as possible live the same life as you now, so that everyone can have clothing.

It will be difficult to realize this ideal of clothing, a house to live in, food to eat, and books to read, because it requires a lot of wealth, so much that you may not be able to understand it. To get such a lot of wealth, you can only rely on victory.

The current manpower in Hong Kong is far from enough, so we will continue to introduce immigrants to expand our production capacity."

"When there are more people, there is always something to eat. There are already tens of thousands of people here. With so many mouths to eat, we cannot rely entirely on buying food from outside the island. We must cultivate it ourselves. And the meaning of the existence of the Ministry of Agriculture is,

It means to use the most efficient farming method to grow as much food as possible with the least manpower and input. To achieve this, we must rely on collective farms. We need a large number of collective farms to feed the growing population.

, and the existence of the landlord class is a stumbling block to our great cause. On the land they own, we can obviously grow more food with fewer hands, but we still have to endure their existence. This is really a problem.

A very funny thing.”

Ning Qi pointed to the students in the audience: "And you are the biggest force to change this ridiculous status quo! For every acre of land you expropriate from the landlords, you can produce hundreds of kilograms more grain every year and feed more people.

Naturalized citizens, create more wealth to change your own living conditions! If you want to live a better life, then first complete your current work and expropriate all the land in the Phoenix Town area as quickly as possible
