Chapter 119 (Delivered by Rural Credit Cooperatives)
The discussion ended soon. Li Jiansan and Cheng Desheng participated in the agricultural reform plan and became the main person in charge of the plan and the chief and deputy president of the rural credit cooperative.
The reason why the rural credit cooperative was established and the initial implementation of this agricultural reform plan was mainly to keep a low profile when this chaos was about to start.
Agricultural reform has always been the top priority for China. Even when national capitalism began to flourish, it still attracted the attention of many people.
Don’t think that the landlord class is just greedy, lazy, feudal and ignorant. They have a more sensitive sense of smell than anyone else. Anything that involves the land already agriculture is their relish and extremely nervous focus. Although most of them are usually low-key and not strong in armed forces, they are still very capable at critical moments.
Most of the party members currently engaged in the *** class are basically from the landlord class. Good education and free energy give them a broader vision than the farmers and workers who work hard all day long, and are also a great leader in knowledge and knowledge. Of course, there are not no surprises among the people at the bottom, but chance is accidental and cannot change the overall strength gap.
For more than a hundred years, these landlords with wide connections and late Qing intellectual groups have long occupied the middle and upper classes of Guangzhou in a mixed manner, and have advantages and power that ordinary people cannot imagine. They serve as members of parliament, participate in politics and affairs, engage in bureaucratic positions in government departments, and place their own direct descendants in key positions. These have made these landlords firmly occupy an advantageous position.
Apart from the lack of necessary formal military power, there is nothing in comparison between social influence and political capital. So in the face of these so-called social elites, Zhong Yang did not intend to argue with the other party at all, but directly used force.
Even if it leads to separation and virtue, it doesn't care at all. Everyone is not a member of the same place. Since they can't get together, Zhong Yang will not have unrealistic fantasies. Compromise can only show significance based on the interests of everyone's cooperation.
Zhong Yang will not hesitate or have any mercy on the mantis arm that is not conscious of his appearance and insists on blocking his strength in front of him. Since he chooses to be an enemy, he will do everything. In this chaotic world, only strength is everything. The power at the social and political levels will only have enough power in peaceful times.
Holding the "Outline of the First Phase of the Agricultural Reform Plan" in his hand, Zhong Yang also felt a lot of emotion. The previous staff were mainly the indigenous people of Tangwei Town introduced by Li Wansheng, and it is inevitable that they will be the only one. Moreover, because these members' original agricultural professional skills were not good, they seemed rough in handling many problems, and the cost and effect were not controlled ideally.
That's why Zhong Yang found a group of graduates from the Agricultural Technology College of Agriculture and Technology to be responsible for this work. Not only did he need to gradually improve the structural system of the entire rural credit cooperative, but he also needed to eliminate Li Wansheng's influence on this department. Although he may not have bad thoughts, the rules of the system must be clear, otherwise it will be a major hidden danger.
As for these agricultural graduates who have received professional knowledge education, they are more efficient in dealing with agricultural issues. Moreover, people with higher education have higher average qualities and will be more organized when encountering problems. These are all very important factors. For Zhong Yang, efficiency can be gradually improved and experience can be continuously summarized, but a qualified system must have clear norms at the beginning of its establishment.
From the beginning, the entire plan took the most formal path and clarified the purpose and means of the organization. Therefore, there are also considerable requirements for the education level of the organization members. Before the rural credit cooperative was established, those tasks were mainly arranged by Li Wansheng because he was the mayor, and it was normal to care about the agriculture of the town.
But now the establishment of a rural credit cooperative must withdraw from the official internal affairs system. A rural credit cooperative must not become an official undertaking, but can only strictly adhere to neutrality and exist as a private commercial cooperation organization. Its main members are agricultural people scattered in various places and related practitioners. Official institutions can supervise the rural credit cooperative, but have no right to interfere in specific operations, let alone management.
Once linked to the government, the nature and interest demands of the bureaucratic group will inevitably defeat the unrealistic concept of "serving the people". In the end, it will definitely cause oppression and exploitation of farmers, which is something that will definitely happen. Even if agricultural tax is not imposed, can't the price of seeds, fertilizers, and feed be increased? Under the forced force of administrative orders, this is not an incredible thing, and this is also the fundamental reason why Zhong Yang wants to prevent the government from intervening.
However, it is not appropriate to leave the problems of agriculture to merchants to operate. Although the models of business and agriculture have a lot of intersections, their essence is two different industry development models. Business emphasizes profits and benefits, while agriculture is the foundation for human survival. There are essential differences between the two. Letting merchants operate will inevitably be monopoly and exploitation. This is determined by the essence of pursuing profits. Even if the law is used to restrict it, the results will not be too obvious.
To this end, the rural credit cooperative established by Zhong Yang now decided to adopt a membership system. Any agricultural practitioner who participates in the rural credit cooperative will be sorted into the cooperative. There will be special government functional departments responsible for supervision in terms of efficiency and rights. The most important thing is that although members do not have the right to participate in the actual operation of the rural credit cooperative, they have the right to question and file complaints to the legal department. After all, both parties will sign relevant commercial contracts from the beginning to clarify their respective rights and obligations.
It is difficult for the people to sue officials, but it is not difficult for the people to sue business. In addition, there is another one of the rural credit cooperatives - the main core members and key management department staff must be graduates of agronomy major. The ancient Chinese Association will also encourage and fund young people who are interested in agronomy research in wealthy farmers' families, so that they can study in relevant university majors.
The purpose of this is to cultivate a group of professional agronomy talents from the peasant group. Only in this way can the interests of farmers be truly protected. The distribution of interests of the entire system and the composition of members' backgrounds are in line with the interests of the peasant class. Only when farmers truly master their own strength and interests can they truly have independent power.
As for those who think that tax exemption or the division of local tyrants and bad gentry can solve the problem of survival and development of farmers, they are either ambitious or naive. Without their own technical strength, without their own interests, and without sufficient strength, how can they be considered to be mastering their future? Even if they get benefits in a short time, they will not spit it out again in the future? No matter how beautiful it is, the fake is always fake.
If farmers' attachment and dependence on land is used by ambitious people, they can indeed make a big fuss. But in the end, the land ownership that seems to be tightly grasped in the hands of farmers will definitely be taken back in the end. This is what a vicious centralized government will do.
What Zhong Yang has to do now is to adhere to the nature of private ownership of this land. He will also advocate the concept of sacredness and inviolability of private territory. Even the Han Dynasty had a progressive idea of "officials are forbidden to enter private houses at night, otherwise they will be innocent of killing them." Zhong Yang did not want to be in his own system, and he did not even have this enlightened style.
Of course, the above are the fundamental ideas of reform, mainly to let Li Jiansan and Cheng Desheng understand the organization's position and the organization's determination. In terms of more specific implementation steps, there are more detailed divisions, and those things cannot be explained overnight.
It must also be tested by specific practice before appropriate conclusions can be drawn.
The first step in the agricultural reform plan is to measure the land. This is an important reason why landlords try their best to resist. Because by concealing actual land data and carrying out a large amount of tax evasion, they can accumulate a large amount of wealth so quickly. This is a large piece of profit, of course they will not give in to others. For this reason, they even kill and set fire, and do everything they can. No landlord wants the actual amount of land they own to be exposed to the government.
Many minor officials also rely on the generations to master the fish scale book to monopolize this critical position that is inequality but rich in oil. If Zhong Yang wants to carry out agricultural reform, he must first face these traditional forces. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. But it is not necessary to use force. If it is not very necessary, Zhong Yang still likes the way of boiling frogs in warm water.
Now we can only register the amount of land in the hands of enlightened landlords and wealthy farmers who have moved closer, and formulate corresponding development plans first, and use them as examples to slowly promote this model to the surrounding areas. With new agricultural technology, the production efficiency of both sides will inevitably widen the gap. When the strength is reversed, we should slowly swallow the other party, so there is no need to rush for a moment.
And you can also judge who is the enemy and who is the friend based on the current situation. When dealing with different groups of people, you must adopt different attitudes and means. The difference in closeness and alienation is the only way to make a stable system. If you can’t take good care of your own people, who will come to surrender to you? Follow you?
The total amount of loans issued in the first phase was 200,000 Huayuan, which is a commercial bill of exchange with silver dollars and pounds as reserves, with the circulation nature of the currency. In all levels of commercial departments under Tianxing Group, there is sufficient purchasing power. Zhong Yang uses the credibility of the entire group organization as a guarantee to ensure that the circulation functions of these currencies will not have bad problems.
These funds are mainly used to help farmers in need improve their production and living conditions, such as purchasing fertilizers, feed and agricultural equipment, and hiring professional agriculture technicians for special planting and feeding guidance. Zhong Yang does not intend to conduct free consultations. All useful behaviors should be compensated accordingly, among which economic compensation is the most direct and effective. He will not engage in such unrealistic practices for some useless false reputations. For farmers, not collecting money may not be a good thing.
At least after collecting the money, the technician must provide corresponding value assistance, otherwise it will be illegal and will be held accountable. This will not easily lead to blind command and helping others. You must rely on your ability to eat mixed food instead of hitting the fortune.
Moreover, Zhong Yang's actions have a profound meaning. As the first batch of quasi-currencies to flow into the market, this Huayuan commercial bill is an important measure to open up the gap in the financial and currency industry. As long as it is actually circulated and proves the purchasing power of these banknotes, the people and merchants will slowly accept it. Over time, it will naturally become legal currency, which is a silent means to moisten things.
In fact, Zhong Yang did not lose anything. The money was spent as a loan, but it was just a transfer from the left hand to the right hand. After getting the money, farmers must purchase according to the requirements of the technician. As for the things purchased, they are naturally products produced by Tianxing Group themselves.
This not only promotes the circulation of goods, but also activates the already saturated market demand, opening up a new consumer group for related factories under Tianxing Group...
