Chapter VIII Rural Work

This is the first time I heard the trip to Separate the Three Powers and Separation Minutes. He laughed and said, "You just don't keep it aside. What you said sounds very reasonable, but every time you say these ideas, I feel very uneasy, but I don't know why I'm uneasy. You should talk about your specific approach."

Yang Rui knew that Zhong Guanguang was not a person with great talent in politics. His talent was mainly in professional research, and Ningbo people's natural business acumen. This was also the fundamental reason why Yang Rui asked Wang Jitong to be the chief steward, while Zhong Guanguang was only responsible for business. Yang Rui said: "It should be said that there are three things. First, establish a bank and agricultural supplies company to gain an advantage in capital and scale within the scope of our control, and then lend to the outside world, especially to farmers. This kind of lending is not necessarily silver, which can make seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural tools. When repaying loans, it does not necessarily require silver, which can make beans, wheat, etc. Let farmers come to us to borrow, and we can purchase agricultural products with stable sales channels. Through economic relations, we are with farmers, and this is the first step."

This first step is not complicated. Zhong Guangui nodded and said, "This is not too difficult. The key is to have people, especially those who are familiar with the countryside."

Yang Rui nodded. Manpower is not only the key to the first step, but also to the next few steps. "The second step is to organize farmers to establish village groups and village meetings. We can pay in the early stage, but we will have to pay for the local village houses to produce grain and people in the later stage." This step is not difficult, but manpower is still the key, otherwise we will not be able to convince everyone to do this. Seeing the tour at the beginning said that there was no doubt. Yang Rui continued to say the third step, "The third step is to organize farmers and landlords to negotiate based on the local rent situation and reduce the rent. We mainly mediate in the center, but our position is more inclined to farmers."

Zhong Guanguang asked: "Reduce land rent? Negotiation? Is this feasible? Those farmers will not negotiate except farming."

Yang Rui said: "No, but we can teach you. Brother Jimin always says that education saves the country? There are more than 40 million farmers in China. If these people are still very ignorant, we scholars cannot save the country. Even if we save it, it is only a country with more than 10 million people, not a country with 450 million people." In order to strengthen the understanding of the importance of Zhong Guanguang to farmers, Yang Rui said, "The Hongyang Rebellion is actually Hongyang mobilized the power of the farmers." Speaking of this, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of it.

In the "Hunan Peasant Movement Inspection Report" said Taizu - in a very short time, tens of millions of farmers will rise from central, southern and northern provinces in China, with a storm and extremely rapid force, and no matter what great force is, they will not be able to suppress it. They will break through all the nets that bound them and run towards the road to liberation. All imperialists, warlords, corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry will be buried in the grave by them - imagined the grand and exciting scene, and his heart was stirred up for a moment.

When talking about the Hong Yang Rebellion, Zhong Guangui had thoroughly experienced the power of farmers. In fact, the various sects nowadays are also a small part of this power. Thinking of those long-haired bandits who are fearless, Zhong Guangui could not sit still. He lowered his head in the room, turned around, and thought about the things Yang Rui said.

When Yang Rui saw Zhong Guanguang like this, he knew that he really listened to his words. He smiled and said, "What are you doing? Tell you the important things. Also, has the delegation to the United States set off now?" Yang Rui said that the delegation to the United States to attend the St. Louisiana World Expo was the focus of the Qing court, and this time it was a collective group.

Zhong Guanguang knew about this, but after coming to Northeast China, all these things were left to Wang Jitong. "It should be so soon, you actually want to go?"

Yang Rui smiled bitterly, took out a list and said, "I don't go there, I just stay in this mountain valley. Whether I go or not, I have to buy some things. I have summarized a list here, and you can find a way to send them out so that those who go there will pay attention to these things. The most difficult thing here is paper-making and money printing equipment and military equipment. Although I have asked others to buy military equipment, I cannot hang myself on a tree."

Everyone discussed this issue earlier. Zhong Guanguang said: "This is difficult. Is the printing press better? Is it military equipment? When people look at our skin color and our braids, they will know that we are from the Qing Dynasty. Don't say whether to sell it or not, it is expensive and scammed even if we sell it."

Speaking of China, Yang Rui was speechless. In this era, the idea of ​​white supremacy was popular, especially in Europe. Although Rutt was very kind to his group of people, it was nothing more than a manifestation of his self-gentlemanship. Rather than respecting himself, it was better to say that he respected himself by respecting himself and others. However, Americans with full material desires and spirits do not care so much about the difference in skin color, and their eyes only have "green". Yang Rui said: "Then let McNeill take action. He is his own person, and he lets him come forward for important things. As for those who go to work in the countryside, when will the people in Shanghai come?" Yang Rui asked about the teacher arranged by the Education Association in Tonghua and other places, and these people will be responsible for building schools in Tonghua.

"They arrived with the military academy. The day should be out of customs and it will be coming soon." Zhong Guanguang said. He and Chen Qubing were also looking forward to these people coming. This is the first time that Tonghua is running a school. The gentry in the county praised it very much. The county magistrate Qiu was even more happy. This is a real political achievement. He was afraid that he would not be able to pay taxes and was thinking about how to get promoted.

"This is the way of working for farmers. You can first read it and then teach the scholars of the Education Association, and then ask them to teach those who want to go to the countryside." Yang Rui took out a booklet and said. Although the booklet was thin, it took him a lot of effort. The content contained two, one was excerpted from the outline of the textbook of a freshman, and the other was sales skills, especially those health care products sales skills that target old ladies. The combination of the two is the content of this booklet called the farmer's work guidance. However, Yang Rui was also worried that the scholars could teach these contents well. "When they taught them well, I will bring these people here and I will teach them myself." He finally emphasized.

It seems that Yang Rui really put this peasant work in a very important position. After reading the booklet of Zhong Tourism Results, he has been getting along for more than a year and has become very accustomed to Yang Rui's simplified Chinese and vernacular Chinese. Yang Rui did not speak, but was thinking about the construction of the railway. In his consideration, he must repair the two most difficult railways in the future while the Japanese had not yet won completely. One is the railway that extends from the port of Andong to the mainland, and the other is the Fengtian linking Fushun in Xinmintun.

The railway. The front section does not need to be too long. It mainly leaves Jiuliancheng from Andong Port, which is only 30 kilometers long. It is easy to build. Just transport the road construction materials to the port by sea. The latter section will be troublesome. It is not considered to be the section from Xinmintun to Fengtian. There are fifty kilometers between Fengtian and Fushun alone. Moreover, all road construction materials can only be transported to Xinmintun through railways inside and outside the pass, so I have to use native methods to transport more than 50 kilometers to Fengtian. It is best to build the railway section of Xinmintun.

Yang Rui knew nothing about whom the ownership of the railways inside and outside the pass were. He was about to ask Zhong Guanguang, but who knew that he had shot the booklet and said, "It turned out to be, you are so poisonous!"

He said it inexplicably, and Yang Rui said in surprise: "Where am I poisoned?"

Zhong Guanguang pointed to the booklet and said, "You are not poisonous? First, through the bank, the gentry's right to lend, and then through some agricultural supplies company, the grain stations and cart shops were eliminated, and finally the Lianzhuanghui was directly controlled. Then, not only could this gentry not make money, but even the power was useless. In the end, the farmer... farmer, what you said was that the farmers only borrowed your money, bought your seeds, and sold them to you. Just listen to you, and you still said that you were not poisonous?"

Yang Rui laughed when he heard him say this. He was poisonous. Haha, then some people were about to laugh. He asked, "What do you think of me? I listen to our Revival Society? And, even if it is really the poison you said, it is good or bad for farmers, that is, the people? Besides, I just want to lower the interest rate of rural lending through banks, not to completely monopolize rural lending; at the same time, increase the price of grain collection through agricultural input companies, not to collect all the grain. Those landlords and gentry can be shareholders of banks and agricultural input companies, but we are the leaders and controls of interest rates, grain prices and the troops of Lianzhuang Club. They are just involved in management and do not force them to death."

He was afraid that Zhong Guanguang would not understand the original intention of doing this, and explained: "According to the rural situation survey conducted in Shanghai, there are three things that affect farmers' livelihoods. One is land rent. Many in Shanghai, including the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, have 50% of land rent, and 40% of the less. Second, the grain price. When grain is collected every year, the grain price is deliberately suppressed by large households and grain merchants. The landlords collect rent at this time and do not only need to be silver, which forces farmers to sell grain at a low price; third, it is usury. If a natural disaster or man-made disaster, farmers will have to borrow money, but this debt is profitable. Once it is involved, it will be difficult to get out. At the least, it will be lost in the bank, and at the worst, it will be sold for children and daughters. We will not mention the land issue. We will first stabilize the grain price and interest in borrowing. The ultimate goal is to attract farmers to us through economic means."

Zhong Guanguang just sighed just now how this method came up from Yang Rui's head. The so-called poison was just an excuse. Yang Rui's final explanation was indeed that he remembered the current situation in the countryside. Although he rarely lived in the countryside since he entered school, he still knew the suffering of the people at the bottom of the countryside. As soon as he got involved, his family would be destroyed. The grain price was low every year when he was paid. The creditors and the bosses forced farmers to sell grain. But although he knew, he didn't know why.

It would be like this, and he thought it was common sense in the world. At the same time, he was attracted by the national crisis and national humiliation. He only wanted to be prosperous and strong in the motherland and not bullied. He forgot about the sufferings of the people. Today, after listening to Yang Rui's analysis, he really felt that it was necessary to do so, but he was a little worried, "What if the landlords and gentry do not compromise, that is, they don't invest?" Zhong Guanguang knew the nature of those men, and Yang Rui's approach was equivalent to cutting off the financial path of these people, so he had this question.

"What else can it do?" Yang Rui sneered, "If they are the right way, then we will deal with it with it in a legitimate way. It's just that everyone has more money than anyone. Although we don't have much money, we are still not a lot of money. It's almost certain to deal with them. Besides, the railway is in our hands, even if they collect grain, we will have to force them to death. Of course, if they want to make any wrong ideas, then the gun in our hands is not a fire stick." Yang Rui said with murderous intent, as if he was another Hong Xiuquan.

Zhong Guanguang was stunned for a moment when he heard Yang Rui's murderous words. In his impression of Yang Rui, he had never been so tyrannical. Maybe it was the trauma left by his parents' traveling far away when he was a child. In the lie made up by Yang Rui, he fled with his parents when he was six or seven years old, and his whole family was sold to the United States by piglets. After growing up, he went around abroad before returning to China. The hardships in this way made him so hate the landlords and gentry today. Zhong Guanguang's guess of Yang Rui

It was completely wrong to think that Yang Rui was not a farmer, but his experience as a fruit seller made him very familiar with some things in the countryside. His resentment towards the landlords and gentry came from decades of education in our party. After coming to this era, through continuous collection of information and observation, Yang Rui found that the farmers were still in trouble. For the revival association to establish a regime, this force must be taken for himself. Yang Rui would never be ruthless for those local tyrants who dared to destroy it.

The house became quiet for a moment. Zhong Guanguang was thinking about the impact of Yang Rui's actions on the countryside and how to implement it. He understood that Yang Rui's approach was right. Although this harmed the interests of the landlords and gentry, for more and more people, these were good policies. "It is better to cry all the way than to cry for a family." He couldn't help but think of this old saying, of course, it was not to cry for a family, it was just to worry about the family. Yang Rui was thinking about the construction of two crucial sections of railways. If these two sections of railways were not well built, then the whole railway would not have much value.

"Xian Qian, who is the railway inside and outside the pass?" Yang Rui asked after thinking about it.

Zhong Guanguang knew the whole country well because of the railway management, and replied: "The Qing court's. It was taken back by Yuan Shikai the year before last."

"Yuan Shikai? He is so capable?" Yang Rui was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard people around him talk about this name, a hero of the world.

"Yes, this person is indeed capable. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he was the governor of North Korea and was deeply taboo by the Japanese." Zhong Guanguang thought that Yang Rui did not know Yuan Shikai, so he explained: "Then Xiaozhan started his military training and is now the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang. He holds the military power of the three towns of Beiyang. He is not only a favorite minister, but also a capable minister."
