The fifty-seventh chapter Jinan state (six)
After hearing this passage, everyone suddenly felt silent again, and Yuan Shikai and others were also thinking. In fact, there were many knowledgeable people in China all dynasties pointing out that once the land annexation is serious, it means that the dynasty has entered a dangerous period. It is often a few people who dare to say such words, and only overseas Chinese dare to say such words "The Pill of the Qing Dynasty".
Everyone who was sitting in this truth could understand that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom might be a little farther away, but the Boxer Rebellion happened before the sight. Once the peasants who lost their land became crazy, the energy emitted was extremely terrifying. They just understood that they had to harm their own interests to avoid these dangers from happening again. No one wanted to do so. Everyone thought in their hearts that everyone did this, but why did they have to conquer my land?
At this time, someone also reacted and said, "Although the grass-roots people have no land, they can rent land to cultivate. Haven't we rented all our land to them? I have more than 60 tenants in my family. How can I say that they have no land to plant and cannot survive?"
Wang Sheng glanced at the man, sneered, and said, "The land at home is indeed rented to farmers for farming, but it is too damn to say that they can survive by renting land. According to our investigation, the rent of farmers generally accounts for at least 50% of the harvest, and even 70% of the harvest. Moreover, even in the year of a major disaster, it cannot be reduced or exempted. Moreover, the land tax, money and grain of the government should be paid by the tenants. In this way, the tenants have little left every year. If it is in a normal year, it may be exempted from forced traversing days. Once in a disaster year and a famine year, it will be too difficult to make ends meet. All families have great business and surplus grain in the warehouse, so they can naturally be fearless. But how can ordinary farmers survive and can only survive and take risks. Last year's Boxer Rebellion was initiated by Shandong. Wasn't it caused by the severe drought in Shandong? You have not learned the lessons from it."
As he said that, Wang Sheng looked around everyone, and whenever he saw him, everyone bowed their heads and looked down, not daring to look at Wang Sheng's eyes. After all, everyone still knows how much land rent they charge at home. What Wang Sheng said is indeed the truth. Of course, they will not care whether farmers can survive. Anyway, some people come to rent land, and if they starve to death, they can change to another tenant. But this is not something that can be said in this occasion.
After a long time of silence in the restaurant, someone said angrily: "Our land is not caused by a big wave. It has been accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. Why should we be distributed to those unruly people? Moreover, if the unruly people want to rebel, what is the matter with us, the government should send troops to suppress us. Why should we expropriate our land? The rebels are reasonable, and we kind-hearted people suffer losses. That's why."
For a moment, the crowd became angry, and many gentry said that it was unreasonable to expropriate their own land. Some people made a very tough statement and would never hand over their own land.
Wang Sheng also raised his voice and said, "I think everyone knows how the land comes from. I just want to give a few examples of our land survey in Jiaozhou, Gaomi and Jimo."
In fact, most of the landlords who purchase farmers' land are unfair transactions, because compared with landlords, farmers are basically at an absolute disadvantage. Landlords can use various means to lower the price of land acquisition, so it is easy to occupy. How can landlords not occupy it?
Generally speaking, there are four methods for landlords to use. First, take advantage of the mentality of farmers' eagerness to sell land to cash out, so farmers are not forced to sell land, so once they sell land, they are eager to exchange for money, while landlords can lower the price calmly and calmly; second, they use the land in a deserted year to annex the land. However, for landlords, they are of course a disaster for farmers, but for landlords, they are a great opportunity for landlords to merge land. Since large landlords generally have rich family backgrounds, sufficient surplus grain, and strong disaster resistance, they can purchase land at extremely low prices, and even some small landlords' land can be merged; third, they lend them to farmers with usury, and when farmers can't afford it, they use land to compensate. If there are still some tricks in the first three sections, then the fourth type is to directly rob.
There are examples of these methods when travelers conduct land surveys, so Wang Sheng also found a few to read them, which immediately made everyone speechless again. After all, these methods are indeed what they used to. It seems that overseas Chinese have really done a lot of effort and can't hide anything from them. However, some people are a little puzzled in their hearts, why are overseas Chinese trying to force their land, but now they are making themselves losers.
Seeing that no one was answering, Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel energetic. In fact, when he was in Qingdao, the time traveler had considered designing a set of reasons for the rationality of the land reform system, because although land reform and eliminating the landlord class is in line with history, society, and economic development, these principles can only be used as academic views. The general public does not understand these profound reasons. It is only from the reality that the time travel group has forcibly expropriated the landlords' land. This is an unacceptable behavior for the Chinese landlord class, industry and businessmen, and national bourgeoisie. Therefore, after the time travel group, they will definitely encounter many criticisms of land reform. To convince these people, at least to be able to have an open debate with them, a simple and easy-to-understand theories must be drawn up.
However, debate is not something that anyone can win if he is right, but who can tell stories. It means infinitely magnifying the conditions that are beneficial to him. It avoids talking about the conditions that are not conducive to him. Simply put, it is a common routine used in online fights: if you talk to him, he talks about morality; if you talk to him, he talks about feelings; if you talk to him, he talks about fairness; if you talk to him, he talks about humanity; in short, it is like a tide, making trouble, avoiding the important and being less important. Grasp the other party's weakness and attacking desperately.
Wang Sheng first proposed that the expropriation of land by the travel group is to distribute it to the farmers, not to occupy it himself, which makes the travel group occupy a moral high point, showing the selflessness of the traveler, and whether the expropriation of landlords' land is taken over easily; then he used history as a lesson to illustrate the harm of land annexation, and putting a payment of land that I will take you for your own good, so as not to take your life for the peasant uprising; then listed the exploitation and oppression of the peasants by the landlords, and directly tied the landlords to the moral cross, so that the landlords themselves felt that they had done something wrong and did not do well, so naturally there was no reason to oppose land reform.
Poor, these landlords could withstand such deception, but in just a few strokes, they were dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. Although some people felt something was wrong in their hearts, they couldn't tell what was wrong.
After calming for a while, an older man stood up and said, "Even if you make such a decision, we have nothing to say. We are willing to give up part of the land and leave half of the land for each of our families. Each of us has a family to support. You have taken away all our land, but how can we live? It should be enough for the family to give up half of the land."
Wang Sheng vaguely remembered that the old man was named Zeng Fuxiang, who was 66 years old this year. He had three business deals in Jinan City, one pawn shop, a silk shop and a jewelry store. When he was young, he passed the imperial examination and became a juren. He served as two teachers. All three of them were admitted to the scholar. One of them had passed the imperial examination. Because he was old, rich, and had fame, he spoke in Jinan City.
It is precisely because Zeng Fuxiang has these experiences that his vision is higher than others. Overseas Chinese obviously use land reform as a means to win the hearts of the people, so land acquisition is inevitable and can also be drawn up. It is just that they can't say that, and they can't twist them. It's better to take the initiative to hand over the land, so that they can bargain with overseas Chinese. Since overseas Chinese want to use land to win the hearts of the people, then hand over some, but at least leave some for the gentry, so that both sides can leave room for the people, so that they can meet in the future. His opening voice aroused the response of some people, but some people showed disdain, feeling that they were unwilling to hand over half of the land, and they were thinking whether to ask for more, and it would be best to only pay 30% of the land.
Na Zhi Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "The standards for land acquisition are included in the [Outline of Land Reform System], and everything is done according to this regulation. There is no room for integration. Our land reform only collects land and does not move other property. Everyone has their own industries in Jinan. Even if there is no land, they can live a prosperous life. After the land is divided, farmers have their own land, so they will naturally not rent them again. Even if you leave half of the land, there will be no one to cultivate them at that time, and you will have to bear land taxes. Therefore, it is better to hand over all the land. Moreover, we have always attached importance to the development of industry and commerce. Therefore, if you can devote all your energy to the operation of industries in the future, you will definitely have a great future for development. Why bother with these lands?"
Many people almost vomited blood after hearing this. Overseas Chinese wanted to take away all their land, but they even said that they were petty. That is why, but Wang Sheng's attitude has been very clear. It is not possible for overseas Chinese to collect land without any deductions, so it is impossible to keep half of the land. Therefore, many people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Zeng Fuxiang also sighed and sat down again.
