Chapter 299 Revolutionaries (4)
On that night, the revolutionaries discussed for another night. Because they visited the military camp, the revolutionaries understood the military strength of the East China government. Many revolutionaries could not understand why the East China government has not yet launched an army and overthrew the throne. However, the visit was only the last day left, so the revolutionaries were waiting for the end of the visit and asked carefully when the talks were held.
The third day of visit was not in Qingdao, but at Wangjiazhai Farm outside Qingdao. China is still a major agricultural country, with the rural population accounting for more than 90%. Therefore, rural work is also the focus of the East China government. The role of land reform is not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to keep rural areas stable, so that the East China government can free up its hands to carry out industrialization. Naturally, it is also necessary to let the revolutionaries see the rural construction of the East China government. In fact, the East China government wants the revolutionaries to see the real rural areas, but the area in Qingdao is not suitable for the development of agriculture, and there are no decent rural areas, so they have to take them to Wangjiazhai Farm.
In fact, Wangjiazhai Farm does not mainly grow food crops, but the agricultural and sideline industry is doing very well, including fruits, vegetables, greenhouses, land and other things, as well as breeding. It has also built a small food processing factory to process and make some sideline food, so it can also be used.
The revolutionaries took the train to Wangjiazhai Farm. Although many of these revolutionaries were from rural areas and were not unfamiliar with farming, there were also some people who had sympathy for farmers. However, they saw that they were all individual agricultural production based on families. Even if there were places and homes with a large amount of land, they were still rented to tenants for their own production. In addition to agricultural research, the farms were planted on a large scale. Such a production method was something these revolutionaries had never seen before.
Of course, there are many advantages of large-scale operation. It can not only improve labor productivity and save manpower, but also concentrate on purchasing agricultural auxiliary facilities, such as digging canals and diverting water, concentrating compost, raising livestock, and configuring agricultural tools. At present, the East China government has built 10 farms in Tianjin, Shandong and other places. However, overall, the East China government's agriculture is still a small-scale farm production model that focuses on family production, which is no different from this era. It is just that the land is publicly owned, which reduces the forced exploitation of landlords. Farm-style intensive operation is only a small double.
Now Wangjiazhai Farm has a total of more than 3,200 mu of cultivated land, and even if there are food processing plants, there are only more than 150 people. If the staff are only counted as farming workers, there are less than 50 people. On average, each person cultivates 60-70 mu of land. In this era, an adult labor force can only cultivate 10-15 mu of land without livestock and large-scale agricultural tools. However, if there are livestock and tools, it can reach 30-40 mu. Therefore, the labor efficiency of the farm is at least twice that of the individual. Moreover, the more land is cultivated, the higher the productivity. In Longshan Farm, the largest farm in the East China government, there are more than 5,200 mu of cultivated land, while there are less than 60 people, and the per capita cultivation reaches nearly 100 mu.
In fact, there have always been calls for farm-based management in the East China government, but the problem with farm-based management is that the labor required is greatly reduced. Of course, to a certain extent, this characteristic is not only not a disadvantage, but because in the early stages of industrialization, this tube is really a major advantage, which can liberate a large amount of rural labor and invest it in industrial production. However, in the current level of the East China government, it is an impossible defect, because the current level of industrial excellence of the East China government is not enough to absorb the remaining rural labor force in the large-scale promotion of farm-based excellence.
After all, the industrialization of the East China government has only been under three years, and there are less than 100 factories and enterprises built. The current industrial population is only more than 100,000. The rash promotion of farm-based operations will only cause a large number of farmers to be unemployed and become an instability factor in society. Therefore, lazy operation is only a pilot project of the East China government. It cannot be promoted on a large scale until the industrialization of the East China government develops to a certain scale.
However, the revolutionaries did not understand these profound social development concepts, and the East China government did not explain them in detail. Therefore, after listening to these introductions of "farm production efficiency is higher than individuals", they all admired overseas Chinese. Although the revolutionaries did not attach much importance to the power of farmers in promoting the revolution, they also knew the important role of agricultural production on the country. Unexpectedly, overseas Chinese could not only train the army, set up factories, build schools and teach, but also do agriculture very well. They had all kinds of talents.
In fact, the East China government is also very concerned about the behavior of revolutionaries. Although in the old time and space, the official official history basically held a positive attitude towards the behavior of these revolutionaries, Qin Zheng was also half a historian, knowing that these revolutionaries actually had many shortcomings. Although the revolutionaries do have a strong patriotism and hope that China can become prosperous and strong, they are often too anxious in specific actions, wishing they could achieve it overnight, or to achieve their contributions in one battle, and lack patience and down-to-earth attitude; and although the revolutionaries are full of excitement.
Emotion and motivation are also prone to emotional and even extreme paths; because revolutionaries are too young and do not have enough experience and experience in dealing with things, they are prone to childish mistakes when facing complex struggles, either too much compromise or wrong positioning of their own strength; in addition, although revolutionaries have a certain world perspective, due to the limited information they can obtain, their own knowledge and insights, there are also major misunderstandings in interpreting the experience of revolutionary struggles in other countries, and they cannot correctly absorb the useful experiences in the revolutionary struggles in other countries.
Of course, these shortcomings cannot be denied, and these shortcomings cannot be overcome. After all, anyone has gone from immature to maturity, and great revolutionaries are not born in a day. However, in cooperation with revolutionaries, the East China government must try its best to avoid them, and at the same time try its best to help revolutionaries correct these shortcomings.
However, it is only the first time between the two sides, and there is also a process of getting to know each other. Although time travelers have a good understanding of these revolutionaries, they are basically revolutionaries who have become famous in the later period. Now these revolutionaries are still young and have a high degree of understanding. Therefore, time travelers also have a process of re-understanding of them.
In this way, things will be simple. How to deal with revolutionaries does not have to discuss anything in the executive meeting. Therefore, the arrangements for revolutionaries are basically decided by the Big Five.
The revolutionaries' daily visit itinerary and their words and deeds were reported to the Big Five. After the three-day visit, the Big Five also gathered together to discuss how to deal with the talks with the revolutionaries.
Xiao Jianjun first said: "What are these two Japanese characters? Why did they get into our revolutionary team?"
In fact, Gong Qitaotian and Pingshan Zhou were very low-key in Qingdao. He rarely spoke during the visit. When the revolutionaries discussed, he basically did not comment on the East China government, so the records about them were the least. However, the two Japanese people were caught among a large Chinese, but they still seemed very eye-catching. Moreover, the relationship between the East China government and Japan is very delicate now, so they are naturally regarded as key guardians. When discussing, they are also first exposed.
Qin Zheng said: "In fact, these two Japanese are really not bad people. According to our previous diplomatic orders, they are also considered "old friends of the Chinese people." In the old time and space, these two people did a lot of efforts in the Chinese revolution, because they were revolutionary activities before the Xinhai Revolution, so they maintained a good personal relationship with many Xinhai veterans and Sun Yat-sen. As everyone knows, Sun Yat-sen is actually Sun Wen, whose courtesy name is Yixian, and the name "Zhongshan" was given to him by Pingshan Zhou. In July 1900,
Sun Yat-sen launched the Huizhou Uprising, and Pingshan Zhou participated in some of the planning. In recent years, Sun Yat-sen's activities in Japan were the Chinese teacher hired by Pingshan Zhou. Gong Qitaotian translated Sun Yat-sen's English book "London Misty" into Japanese publishing, which increased Sun Yat-sen's popularity among Japanese revolutionaries and also participated in the Huizhou Uprising. In the old time and space, the acquaintance between Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing was also introduced by Gong Qitaotian. Later, he mediated the conflicts between the two many times, which created the Sun-Huang combination."
Wang Yunpeng said: "This is strange. Why do you think these two Japanese support the Chinese revolution? Are you full and full?"
Xia Bohai said: "Is this not easy to understand? Isn't it just bets on both sides, and I can't spend a lot of money anyway. What if it's true? The return on investment can be high."
Qin Zheng said: "Old Xia is right. In fact, these two Japanese people not only make friends with revolutionaries, but also have good friendships with the Weixin faction. After the failure of the 1898 Reform Movement, Miyazaki helped Kang Youwei escape to Japan for refuge. Moreover, the two had planned to let Sun Yat-sen and Kang Youwei meet. However, the Saint Kang was determined to maintain the royal family and looked down on Sun Yat-sen, so they only let Liang Qichao meet with Sun Yat-sen. However, in recent years, these two people have basically come on the side of the revolutionaries. It is probably because the Reformers can't do anything big, but on the one hand, there are more complicated reasons in this."
Xiao Jianjun said: "What's the reason?"
Qin Zheng said: "In the old time and space, until Inayasu was assassinated, there were two attitudes in Japan about how to treat China. One was to directly invade, whether it was to swallow or eat, it was to simply and crudely possess it; but there was another attitude to make friends with China, even to help China develop, and then China and Japan joined hands to deal with European and American countries. Although the latter attitude has never become mainstream, this attitude has indeed existed. Inayasu's teacher, Inayasu, is a representative of this attitude. However, after Inayasu was assassinated by a young officer in 1932,
