Fengxian Jiangshan

"Mr. Tie Kan, you stayed up all night yesterday?"

"Well, the data in Liaoyang is exciting, and we must sort it out quickly. We resettled a total of 40 disaster victims. Based on the calculation of five acres of land per person, we allocated a total of 20 acres of land. As a result, the people opened up nearly 7000 acres of land , the average yield per mu is about [-] catties, and if each person keeps about [-] percent of the rations, it can provide more than [-] million catties of commercial grain, which is not a small amount!"

Since it is a farm, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to ensure the supply of food. The leg of agriculture must be strengthened. According to the current production calculation, the farm is more than [-]% higher than the lease model, and the farm will not be like those landowners. Instead of hiding all the land rent collected, the grain should be put on the market and turned into commodities, so that the grain supply on the market will greatly increase.

This is where farms have an advantage over landlords. Landlords have put themselves in opposition to farmers. Therefore, they must hoard a large amount of surplus grain, feed their thugs, and maintain their status by force. The grain that can be sold in their hands is actually Very limited, they prefer to store the grain in the granary, piled up like small hills, so that they can rest assured, what's more, even the silver is buried in the ground, and they are reluctant to take it out.

"Mr. Tiekan, I also asked. The weather this year is not good. There was a period of drought. As a result, the farm survived the difficult period by building water conservancy. Landlords don't care about agricultural production, and tenant farmers don't have this. As a result, droughts have generally occurred, and production has been reduced a lot, and the gap between the two sides has been widened!"

"There are real examples in front of us, and the two will be judged. I think that 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 result was within one year.He couldn't help but lament the power of the advanced production model.In particular, tenant farmers suffered from drought this year, and next year some people will definitely be unable 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. Tie Kan, seeing the situation in front of me, I can't help thinking of Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Qian in the Northern Song Dynasty!"

Wang Yongjiang carefully studied the gains and losses of the past dynasties, and he is no stranger to the Qingmiao Law, so he said: "The Qingmiao money was originally loaned to the common people when it was in short supply. Wang Anshi also obtained a virtuous policy to prevent them from going bankrupt at the local level at first. After he took power, he was eager to promote it across the country, which resulted in complaints. It was originally a loan for farmers. In the end, even citizens had to be forcibly apportioned, which is extremely absurd.”

Speaking of which.Wang Yongjiang smiled and said: "Zhuoyan mentioned Wang Anshi at this time. There must be a deep meaning!"

"It doesn't really mean much. The situation in different places is very different. The promotion of farms in the three eastern provinces has achieved results. If it is put in the customs, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, and even the three eastern provinces. The interior is not exactly the same. If you want a policy to really benefit To put it into practice, the first thing is to study the characteristics of each place and prescribe the right medicine. The second thing is to have suitable executives. Take Wang Anshi’s reform as an example, relying on a decaying bureaucratic system and a few opportunists who are eager for quick success. It is the implementation of any law that will become a law that harms the people."

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

"With this idea, you must have 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 approvingly. This is Zhang Tinglan's strength. He can find a way when others have no other way. To go one step ahead is what is called visionary.

"Mr. Tiekan, I also know that Fengtian generally lacks suitable grassroots officials. Therefore, I suggest that farmers with management experience and flexible minds be given certain training and then take a special examination. Enter the system of civil servants, and be evaluated and promoted like other officials!"

At this time, Zhang Tinglan raised the key issue of selecting officials, and Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but think carefully. Since the Republic of China, he has followed the example of the great powers and implemented the civil service examination system. At present, there are two main forces in the officialdom. One is to pass the examination to enter the officialdom. These newcomers generally have a high level of knowledge and even have experience studying abroad.The second force is the old officials left by the former Qing Dynasty. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was subjugated, this group of people not only did not get laid off, but lived a more comfortable life.

The old bureaucrats had a lot of problems, so I don’t need to go into details, and the newcomers who passed the exams couldn’t stand up to scrutiny. In fact, this is also a tragedy of the Republic of China.

Because education is not popular enough, most of those who can study are from very wealthy families, and their circles are relatively small and intertwined with each other. Whatever these people do, they stand on the standpoint of their own class and only care about fighting for their own interests. This is why old and new bureaucrats are the same.

Zhang Tinglan now proposes to select officials from farms. In other words, let officials with peasant backgrounds enter the officialdom in large numbers to add fresh blood. These officials from peasant backgrounds will speak from the standpoint of the majority of peasants. The original pattern.

How shrewd Wang Yongjiang is, he immediately saw through Zhang Tinglan's mind. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Zhuoyan, are these peasants qualified for the duties of officials? I'm afraid their education level is not good!"

"Culture and ability are not completely equal. Some people don't have many books, but they have great talents, such as our commander-in-chief. On the contrary, the more people read, the worse their brains are. In addition, I think other methods can be used to make up for it. For example, from now on, we will promote literacy campaigns in various farms, and even Fengtian, so that everyone can read and write!"

Zhang Tinglan has already carried out a literacy campaign in the army, allowing soldiers to read and write, and the effect has been very satisfactory. It is imminent to expand this campaign to the entire three northeastern provinces.

In later generations, Zhang Tinglan also paid attention to the industrial countries developed after World War II. When the industries of these countries started rapidly, there was an important indicator, that is, the literacy rate should reach more than 70.00%, and the illiteracy rate should be less than [-]%. This means entering the industrial age , the minimum population quality requirement.

Obviously, there are not even [-]% literate people in the three eastern provinces. If you refer to the slow development of education, it will be too slow, and large-scale literacy has become an inevitable choice.

Wang Yongjiang thought carefully about Zhang Tinglan's words. He knew very well that large-scale literacy was actually changing the social structure and had an unparalleled impact.There is a legend in ancient times that after Cangjie created characters, it rained millet in the sky and ghosts cried at night!This explains the importance of knowledge.

Over the past dynasties in China, limited by the economic level, the power to read and write has fallen into the hands of a few people. These people have mastered the bureaucratic system, mastered the right to speak, and become the upper class of society. The whole society inevitably presents a pattern of polarization. , the poor have no place to stand, and the rich have fields.Moreover, in order to protect their own interests, a small number of top people will ignore the interests of the country and become moths.

And once the large-scale literacy campaign is pushed away, knowledge enters the homes of ordinary people, and the people at the bottom can also get access to knowledge. They may not be as good as those rich people, but they are worse than the large number, and they will completely destroy the original upper class. break in.

"Humble words, whether it is literacy or the election of officials among peasants, it is a matter of great influence, and it will inevitably attract strong backlash from all parties. I am afraid that the voice of opposition will definitely not be small!"

"That can't be tolerated. If you want to develop the three eastern provinces, it is imperative to improve the quality of the people. No one can stop it. God blocks and kills gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!"

Wang Yongjiang smiled wryly: "Zhuoyan, the murderous intent is still so heavy. We don't have so many talents for the time being. We have to let those scholars do things for us. If you do what you do, it will be tantamount to declaring war directly, which is not good. So I think this kind of thing can be done first, Fengtian is also constantly increasing investment in education, spreading the whole work, and when we realize it, we have already done it!"

"Mr. Tie Kan, anyway, how to plan is your business, 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 must not allow a bunch of illiterate people to control the machine!"

"Well, I will find a way to formulate the specific regulations. You can't hide away, but also 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. Very hard.

Zhang Tinglan quietly found a wooden basin, filled it with hot water, found a few mugwort leaves and put it in, and came outside Zhou Xinyao's house.At this moment, Zhou Xinyao's room door also opened suddenly, and she was also holding a wooden basin, braving the curling heat, the two of them almost collided, 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 a water basin in both hands, and could only remind her in a low voice.

Zhou Xinyao managed to stabilize her mind, her eyebrows frowned: "Zhuoyan, what are you doing, you scared me!"

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

"I..." Zhou Xinyao also suddenly understood, it turned out that the two of them wanted to go together, their little faces turned red all of a sudden, and they lowered their heads, full of shyness and a hint of sweetness, which was indescribable.

"Don't be dazed, hurry up to the house, or the water will be cold!" (To be continued...)
