"Junzu, we have also considered the issue of land reform, but we always feel that this matter is a mess and there is no way to start. There will be a lot of noise in the local area. Even the tenant farmers may not necessarily support us, and it will even cause local riots. I really don't have the courage to deal with it!" Jiang Yonggui was also full of bitterness at this time, and there was no good idea.

Regarding land reform, Qiao Yu and his senior officials had been brewing as early as the Sichuan period, but they did not really dare to solve it. The main thing was to consider continuing the stubbornness of thousands of land production relations. This was not only the problem of landlords and tenant farmers, but also the cultural traditions, clan forces, regional differences, etc. were intertwined.

Some big landlords are often patriarchs of a region. They have noble prestige and extensive networking base. They have to deal with any marriage, funeral, big and small matters. They are simply a small local emperor. They rely on the land to maintain their own interests. If they want to attack them, they will face the danger of a strong backlash.

The industrial development in the southwest has had a considerable impact on this stubborn system, but it will take a long time to completely replace it. However, Qiao Yu is obviously unwilling to wait anymore. Rural problems must be solved and farmers must join the wave of industrialization. Only in this way can China have enough domestic demand and achieve a national and civilian banquet.

"Minister Jiang, the land problem is indeed difficult, but it will only become more and more difficult if it is not solved. There are only five provinces and regions in our control now. If we do not have the courage to reform now, the opposition will definitely be even more intense after the country is unified. Do you still have the courage to reform?"

Jiang Yonggui, Qian Moyin and Wei Ruolan all lowered their heads. Obviously, they also knew that avoidance was not a good way, so they could only face the difficulties.

"Our government still has a lot of funds, so we have enough opium medicine to conquer the most solid fortress. Russia's revolution has already broken out. If we do not take action, we will probably not escape the fate of Russia. It is easy to develop the country, but it is difficult to allocate interests rationally. If farmers are excluded for a long time, sooner or later, it will threaten the security of our regime. Land reform is imperative.

I plan to implement it in Sichuan first, with the government funded the capital to redeem all the land from the landlords. After the government takes over the land, it will divide the land equally according to the population. However, the land is not directly handed over to farmers for processing, but instead set up a collective farm. The management of the farm is selected by the farmers themselves. The farmers' land rights are converted into shares and profits are distributed by shares! If farmers do not want to continue engaging in agricultural production, they can not accept land shares. The government provides corresponding funds to help them carry out other operations, or enter cities to work, or operate small businesses!

For landlords, they can also choose to accept funds redeemed by the government and then invest in industry and commerce. The government will provide help. If they are unwilling, they can convert this part of the funds into part of the shares. In this way, they can become the major shareholders of the farm and continue to operate agriculture. However, the distribution method needs to be changed. What they get is not fixed land rent, but the profits shared by the shares!"

Qiao Yu explained his reform methods to Jiang Yonggui and the other three. This was also the result of his long-term thinking. Under the relationship between renting, the landlords received fixed land rent, which was the same no matter what the year was. They did not have the motivation to improve production technology, and the tenant farmers did not have the financial resources. If the year was not good and the output decreased, the landlords would usually reduce some land rent, but this could not change the fundamental problem. The tenant farmers still needed to borrow money from the landlords to live, and the landlords would use the debt relationship to let the tenant farmers bear a greater burden. If this continued, the tenant farmers would never have a chance to make a comeback.

In fact, if the year is better, it is not necessarily a good thing for farmers. The situation of low grains hurting farmers often occurs. Tenants cannot repay their debts with a bumper harvest. As for the bad year, don’t even think about it. Landlords are much stronger than farmers who have nothing with their own, relying on the advantages of land and capital. In short, every child in the farmers’ pockets will be taken away. Although after Qiao Yu took office, he vigorously reduced rent and interest rates and increased farmers’ income, tenants can only fill their stomachs at most, and there is nothing to do if they are stabbed.

The purpose of Qiao Yu's reform was to turn the farmers and landlords in the tenancy relationship into a kind of shareholding relationship, and the interests of the two changed from opposite to consistency. They both hoped to produce more agricultural products at a lower cost, and only in this way can they obtain greater benefits.

This will not only greatly increase farmers' income, but also have the motivation to improve agricultural production technology. Grain production can also increase significantly accordingly, and it will also liberate more labor force and provide sufficient impetus for industrialization.

Qian Moyin carefully digested Qiao Yu's overall reform plan, and his eyes lit up: "Junzu, such reform can indeed reduce the opposition of landlords and benefit the people. More importantly, it can increase grain production, which is a good thing that can kill multiple birds with one stone, but there are two huge difficulties in front of you. The first is that it takes a huge amount of money to redeem these lands. Although the government has accumulated a lot now, it is definitely not enough. Without enough funds, it cannot be carried out. In addition, after changing the business system, will farmers operate, understand the market, and without professional talent guidance, whether the farm can maintain it is also a question!"

"Junzu, Minister Qian is right. In addition to these two issues, if the production efficiency is improved after being changed to a farm, there will definitely be a large amount of surplus labor. The whereabouts of these people must also be considered. Since it has become a shareholding, there is a possibility of transfer. In the end, the land will be concentrated in the hands of a few people again!"

Jiang Yonggui also raised a sharp question, and Wei Ruolan was the same on the side, saying: "Junzuo, in addition, can farmers accept real land and shareholding? They may not be able to turn this corner. In addition, how can there be a large number of self-cultivated farmers deal with it?"

Qiao Yu nodded. The questions raised by these three people were real and were also problems that he had been thinking about. "These difficulties really need to be solved by us. I think the problem of funds can be solved through financial reform. We have now hoarded more than 200 tons of gold. With this gold support, it is time for the issuance of paper money to be natural. As long as the currency reform is carried out, the government's money can increase a lot, so there is no need to worry about this problem. President Wei, you have always been responsible for this matter. I don't know how the plan is."

Wei Ruolan hurriedly replied: "Junzu, the plan has been almost done. I have asked the media to make some noise. The people are not too big. Instead, they think that trading is becoming more and more frequent now. Real money and silver are not only inconvenient and safe, and foreign currencies are also relatively chaotic. It is also a good thing if they can be unified into their own currency. The original plan was to issue Southwest Notes this month and replace various foreign currencies on the market in half a year. Gold and silver can be withdrawn from the circulation field. If all of them are exchanged into paper money, the government's revenue will invisibly double. If all redemption is adopted in this time, it will be a good thing for the promotion of Southwest Notes!"

The money problem has been solved, and the problem of stabbing is also very serious. Qiao Yu gently tapped the table, "Farmers may not be able to operate and do not know how to manage it. This is the time to test the ability of the unified NPC. Party members should go to the countryside to help farmers carry out reforms. This is also an important test of the unified NPC. Since we want to establish a government governed by a party, this party must prove that it can lead the country and reassure the people. Now is the best opportunity. If we cannot do this, we are not worthy of being called the ruling party.

In addition, many remote mountainous areas are indeed very poor, and even if reforms are carried out, it will be difficult to become rich, and the amount of land is far from enough. Therefore, I am planning to adopt the strategy of immigrating to the border. The water and heat conditions in the border areas of Yunnan are very good, especially in the Jiangxinpo area, where the water source is sufficient and the land is fertile. As long as it can be developed, it will be a huge granary. In addition, "the border areas also need to immigrate appropriately to change the local population structure.

As for the issue of land concentration again, there is no need to worry about it. After all, it will take decades. During this period, we have been able to complete industrialization, and a large amount of labor has entered industry. It is still a good thing to concentrate rural land.

Our land reform this time is actually a link in some reforms, including currency reform, abolishing slavery reform, border defense reform, political system reform, large-scale abolition of slavery, abolishing chieftains, the government directly controls the border areas, immigrates to the border, establish solid border defense, carry out land reform, release rural purchasing power, incorporate farmers into the industrial system, and at the same time, we must break the local clan power, deepen the government's administrative agencies into the countryside, and replace the rural landlords' control over the countryside!"

Qiao Yu explained the overall situation of planning. Each reform is not easy, and it is even more difficult to intertwin. But now that we have reached this threshold, we can only maintain China's industrialization process smoothly, otherwise we will fall into internal and external difficulties, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen, the countryside and the city will be disconnected, and there are various hostile forces such as the great powers and the Soviet Union and Russia. Therefore, large-scale reforms must be carried out in any case, and it must be completed before Britain, France and other countries recover from the war. Otherwise, the resistance will be even greater. Abolition of slavery and immigration are all actions to infringe on their colonial power, and it can be completed completely when they have no energy to interfere.

Jiang Yonggui, Qian Moyin and others were also frightened by Qiao Yu's big move, but after careful consideration, it was indeed a juncture and had to change it. The industrial system originally developed by the southwest with the help of the World War has now disappeared. The Russian Revolutionary Death has occurred, and the shock to China is naturally huge. China's situation is even worse than Russia. If it is not changed, the Revolutionary Death will inevitably sweep across China.

The southwest itself has also developed to a bottleneck, and the market must be exaggerated. Jiang Yonggui and others also agreed with Qiao Yu's view from the bottom of their hearts. Their task is to refine Qiao Yu's reform plan, and his plan becomes more reasonable and more conducive to the public's acceptance. They also have to select enough officials to implement the huge plan, so that the entire set of plans can be carried out one by one, and thoroughly implemented, providing impetus for the further development of the southwest.

In addition to the reform, there is another thing that has attracted everyone's attention, that is, the trial of Sun Yat-sen. Since Sun Yat-sen and others were arrested, the case has attracted the attention of all parties for more than a year. Hundreds of academic celebrities have formed a huge team of lawyers to defend the text. The confrontation on the newspaper has already begun. The trial should have started half a year ago, but it has been delayed until now because of the interruption of the flu problem. However, it is time to deal with it! dd
