"Mr. Tiegong, did you stay up all night again yesterday?"
"Well, the data in Liaoyang are exciting and must be sorted out as soon as possible. We have resettled a total of 80,000 disaster victims. Based on five acres of land per person, we have allocated a total of 400,000 acres. As a result, the people have opened nearly 200,000 acres more land.
, the average yield per mu is about 200 kilograms, and if each person keeps about 30% of the ration, they can provide more than 70 million kilograms of commercial grain, which is not a small amount!"
Since we are running a farm, we still need to ensure the supply of food. The agricultural leg must be strong. Based on the current output, the farm is more than 30% higher than the renting model, and the farm will not be like those landlords.
Instead of hiding all the land rent collected, the grain should be put on the market and turned into commodities, so that the supply of grain on the market would greatly increase.
This is the advantage of farms over landlords. Landowners have put themselves in opposition to farmers, so they must hoard large amounts of surplus grain to feed their thugs and rely on force to maintain their position. The grain they can sell is actually
It's very limited. They prefer to store the grain in the granary and pile it up like a hill so that they can feel at ease. What's more, they even bury their money in the ground and are reluctant to take it out.
"Mr. Tiegong, I also asked. The weather this year is not very good. There was a period of drought. As a result, the farm relied on the construction of water conservancy projects to survive the difficult period. However, the landlords did not care about agricultural production, and the tenant farmers did not have this
ability, as a result, everyone suffered from drought, and production was reduced a lot, and the gap between the two sides widened!"
"With real examples in front of us, we can judge the difference between the two. I think next year a large number of tenant farmers will abandon their landlords and switch to the farm model. We must do a good job in guiding them!"
Wang Yongjiang originally needed three to five years to show results, but the results were achieved within one year. He couldn't help but sigh at the power of the advanced production model. Especially this year, tenant farmers suffered from drought. Next year, some people will definitely not be able to survive. A large number of
Farmers on the verge of bankruptcy will definitely look forward to setting up farms. This is almost an inevitable trend, and it is also a result that the Fengtian government hopes to see.
"Mr. Tiegong, seeing the situation in front of me, I can't help but think of Wang Anshi's young money in the Northern Song Dynasty!"
Wang Yongjiang studied the gains and losses of the past dynasties and was no stranger to the Qingmiao Law, so he said: "Qingmiao money was originally lent to the people for emergency relief during the lean years. It was a virtue policy that allowed them to avoid bankruptcy. Wang Anshi also initially obtained it at the local level.
He achieved quite a lot of achievements. As a result, after he took power, he was eager to promote it across the country, which resulted in widespread complaints. In the end, a loan originally targeted at farmers was forcibly apportioned even to citizens. It is ridiculous to the extreme."
Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang laughed and said: "I mentioned Wang Anshi at this time, there must be a profound meaning!"
"It's not really a profound meaning. The situation in different places is very different. The implementation of farms in the three northeastern provinces has achieved results. If it were placed in the customs, I'm afraid the world would have been in chaos. And even in the three northeastern provinces, the internal situation is not exactly the same. If you want a policy to truly benefit
To put it into practice, the first thing is to study the characteristics of each place and prescribe the right medicine, and the second thing is to have suitable executors. Take Wang Anshi's reform as an example, it relies on a decaying bureaucracy and a few speculators who are eager for quick success. No matter
If any law is implemented, it will become a law harmful to the people."
"That's right, a bunch of crooked monks can't recite good sutras! Do you mean to select suitable officials?"
"With this idea, we must have a large number of suitable talents to run a farm. Otherwise, I worry that problems will arise when it is promoted on a large scale!"
Wang Yongjiang nodded in agreement. This is the great thing about Zhang Tinglan. When others have no way, he can find a way. When everyone is rejoicing, he can give a warning in time. He is better than everyone else in everything.
Being one step ahead is what is called foresight.
"Mr. Tiegong, I also know that there is a general shortage of suitable grassroots officials in Fengtian, so I suggest that farmers with management experience and flexible minds be given certain training from existing farms, and then conduct special examinations. If they pass, they will
Enter the civil service system and be evaluated for promotion like other officials!"
Zhang Tinglan raised the key issue of official selection at this time, and Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but think carefully. Since the Republic of China, they have followed the example of the great powers and implemented the civil service examination system. Currently, there are two major forces in the officialdom. One is to enter the officialdom through examination.
Newcomers, these people generally have a high level of knowledge and even have experience studying abroad. The second force is the old officials left behind by the former Qing Dynasty. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, this group of people not only were not laid off, but lived more comfortably.
Already.
The old bureaucracy had many problems of its own, which I don’t need to go into detail, and a group of new people who came through the examination could not stand up to scrutiny. In fact, this was also a tragedy of the Republic of China. The old-school people were not good enough, and the same was true for the new-school people.
Because education is not universal enough, most of the people who can read have very wealthy families, and their circles are relatively small and intertwined. They do everything from the standpoint of their own class, and they only care about fighting for their own interests.
This is why the old and new bureaucracies are the same thing.
Zhang Tinglan now proposes to select officials from farms. In other words, officials with peasant backgrounds will enter the officialdom in large numbers to add fresh blood. These officials with peasant backgrounds will speak from the standpoint of the majority of peasants, thus breaking the
Original layout.
Wang Yongjiang was so shrewd that he immediately saw through Zhang Tinglan's mind. He thought for a while and then asked: "I would like to ask, are these farmers qualified for the duties of officials? I'm afraid their cultural level is not good enough!"
"Culture and ability are not completely equivalent. Some people don't read many books, but they have great talents, such as our commander. On the contrary, the more books some people read, the worse their brains become. They don't understand the ways of the world at all, and they don't have any ability to do things.
Ability. In addition, I think we can use other methods to make up for it. For example, from now on, we will promote literacy campaigns in every farm and even in Fengtian, so that everyone can read and read!"
Zhang Tinglan has implemented a literacy campaign in the army to enable soldiers to read and write. The results have been very satisfactory. It is urgent to expand this campaign to the entire three northeastern provinces.
In later generations, Zhang Tinglan also paid attention to the industrial countries that developed after World War II. When the industries of these countries started rapidly, they all had an important indicator, that is, the literacy rate should reach more than 70%, and the illiteracy rate should be less than 30%. This is
Entering the industrial age, there are minimum population quality requirements.
Obviously, not even 30% of the people in the three northeastern provinces are literate. If we point to the slow development of education, it would be too slow. Large-scale literacy has become an inevitable choice.
Wang Yongjiang carefully considered Zhang Tinglan's words. He knew very well that large-scale literacy is actually changing the social structure and has an unparalleled impact. There is a legend in ancient times that after Cangjie created the Chinese character, millet rained from the sky and ghosts cried at night! This is
This explains the importance of knowledge.
In the past dynasties of China, limited by economic level, the power of reading and literacy fell into the hands of a few people. These people controlled the bureaucracy and the right to speak, and became the upper class of society. The entire society inevitably showed a polarized pattern.
, The poor have no place to stand, and the rich have endless fields. Moreover, a few at the top, in order to protect their own interests, will ignore the interests of the country and become moths.
Once a large-scale literacy campaign is launched, knowledge enters the homes of ordinary people, and the people at the bottom can also have access to knowledge. Their conditions may not be as good as those of the rich, but they are superior in number, and they will still completely destroy the original upper class of society.
break in.
"I would like to say that whether it is literacy eradication or the selection of officials among farmers, these are matters of huge impact and will inevitably attract strong backlash from all parties. I am afraid that the opposition will not be small!"
"That cannot be tolerated. If we want the three eastern provinces to develop, it is imperative to improve the quality of the people. No one can stop it. God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha!"
Wang Yongjiang smiled bitterly: "I'd like to say that the murderous intention is still so strong. We don't have that many talents at the moment, so we must let those scholars do things for us. If you do this, it will be equivalent to directly declaring war, which is not good. So.
I think this kind of thing can be done first. Fengtian is also constantly increasing investment in education and rolling out the entire work. By the time we are aware of it, we will have it done!"
"Mr. Tiegong, anyway, it's up to you how to plan, but I think within ten years, we must reduce the illiteracy rate to less than half, otherwise the industry will not be able to develop, and we can't let a bunch of illiterate people control the machines!
"
"Well, I will think of a way to formulate specific regulations. You can't just hide away, you have to help me make suggestions!"
After discussing with Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan returned to his residence. It was already evening. In the small courtyard next to him, which was Zhou Xinyao's residence, the lights in the house were flickering. It was obvious that Zhou Xinyao had not rested yet. The little girl followed him for a few days, and she also
Very hard work.
Zhang Tinglan quietly found a wooden basin, filled it with hot water, found a few moxa leaves, put it in, and came to the door of Zhou Xinyao's house. At this time, Zhou Xinyao's door suddenly opened, and she saw that she was also holding
Holding a wooden basin, the two of them almost collided with each other in the steaming heat. Zhou Xinyao was so startled that she almost threw the basin on the ground.
"Don't shout, you don't want everyone to see us like this!" Zhang Tinglan was holding a basin in both hands and could only remind her in a low voice.
Zhou Xinyao managed to calm herself down and frowned: "Zhu Yan, what are you doing? You scared me!"
Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but smile: "Dr. Zhou, what are you doing?"
"I..." Zhou Xinyao also suddenly understood. It turned out that the two of them thought of going together. Her little face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head. She was filled with shyness and a hint of sweetness, which she couldn't explain.
"Stop being stunned and go inside quickly, otherwise the water will get cold!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
