Chapter 609: Peasant Problems and Fertilizers
readx; During his stay in Shanghai for a few days, Chen Jingyun once again openly declared that in the past 10 years or so of China's reunification and rise, the interests of the peasants have not been given sufficient attention, and that the focus of the work of the Kuomintang and the political axe will continue to be on the peasants in the future.

"China's land reform has been carried out for more than ten years, and it took us more than ten years to build an equal and free rural society, so that the vast number of peasants can stay away from exploitation and oppression! However, this is not enough, and there are still many peasant families in the vast rural areas who are suffering from hunger and poverty, and this is the responsibility that the party and the state have not fulfilled their due responsibility. It's also that I, Chen Jingyun, have not fulfilled enough responsibilities.
Now many people may say that China has completed its rise and completed the rejuvenation of China, but what I want to tell you is that our rejuvenation of China is far from complete, and only when every Chinese is well fed, warmly dressed, and comfortably lived, can we truly say that the initial rejuvenation of China has been achieved at that time!
It is true that we still have a long way to go before the true rejuvenation of China, but I will spend my life leading the people to the great goal of Chinese rejuvenation! ”
Unlike previous speeches, in which he talked a lot about the superiority of the Chinese nation, China's right to exist in the world, and the necessary surnames for China's industrialization, Chen Jingyun talked a lot about the peasant issue in his speech at the Shanghai City Hall before he left Shanghai, and the speech repeatedly emphasized the importance of peasants' surnames and that guaranteeing and improving the peasants' interests is the foundation of China's rejuvenation.
"Although the land reform has been carried out for 10 years and has achieved certain results, this is far from enough, and we must also step up the reform of rural land, and truly achieve the great goal of having land for the tillers." Chen Jingyun did not hide his dissatisfaction with today's rural problems.
Although the results achieved in China's land reform over the past few years are not small, they have not changed the root of the problem, that is, the peasants still do not have enough to eat!
In order to minimize the resistance to the land reform carried out in those years, the government adopted the policy of leasing land to the landlords, and then the government axe subleased the land to the peasants at the original price. The biggest role of the public rent is to avoid direct contact between the peasants and the landlords, and in the lease relationship formed between the landlords and the political axe, the landlords have become the weaker party, so naturally they cannot raise the land rent at will.
In the first few years of the implementation of the public land lease law, China promulgated the '35 Rent Restriction Order', which stipulates that the land rent shall not exceed 35% of the annual output. In the event of a disaster year, the government can verify that the government can reduce or reduce the rent. Taken together, these have given the landless peasants in the country a respite.
In 1918, after the unification of China by the Kuomintang Socialist Party, the 'public rent repurchase order', which had been implemented only in Fujian, Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, and southern Anhui, was implemented nationwide.
Considering that the peasants could not come up with so much money for a while to pay the expenses at one time, it was stipulated that the form of long-term payment could be used. And this payment can be paid for with the crops produced.
In the past, peasants paid five or ten years of land rent, but now they also pay five or ten years of land rent, but after a few years, the land will be their own.
It is true that there was great resistance to the implementation of this public rent repurchase order, and even several rebellions broke out in China, but after Chen Jingyun forcibly implemented it with the support of the army with one hand and the peasants with the other, great results have been achieved over the years.
However, after these works were done, although the peasants had been able to own the land, it was still not enough for all the people to eat. If the peasants do not have enough to eat, then there is no way to solve the peasant problem. The root of the peasants' problem is not whether they have land or not, but whether they have enough to eat, and land is only a way to ensure that they have enough to eat.
"Now there are still many peasant brothers in the country who have worked hard for a year but can't get enough to eat, is this the problem on themselves? Absolutely not, where is the problem? In some places, there are few people in the land, and in some places, natural disasters have been occurring for many years, and can we blame God for these? No, to solve these problems, in addition to increasing investment in water conservancy infrastructure, we can also carry out migration to a certain extent, such as the three northeastern provinces of China, where there is rich land, but the population is relatively small, where the problem of feeding 50 million people can be solved! ”
Chen Jingyun glanced at the crowd below, there was not a single peasant in the group below, either military and political officials or people from the business community, but it did not affect Chen Jingyun to say the peasant problem to them: "If you want to really solve the peasant problem, in addition to increasing investment in infrastructure and immigration, there is a more important point: that is, to increase grain production!" ”
"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry last year, our total grain output last year was 137 million tons, and according to the first national census conducted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs last year, China's population was 465.2 million people. There are only two hundred and ninety-five kilograms, and even three hundred kilograms cannot be reached. Far less than the per capita food level of 400 to 500 kilograms in European and American countries. Although China's population has increased a lot in recent years, the total amount of cultivated land has not increased much, and more importantly, the grain yield has not increased. Last year, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the yield of rice per mu in southern China was only 390 catties, and the yield of wheat was less than 160 catties. So how do we solve this problem, the solution is very simple, one is to improve the grain species, and the other is to expand the application of chemical fertilizers! ”
Chen Jingyun said to these military and political dignitaries and to the business people that the peasant issue is not a casual remark, and the peasant issue is not just a problem of the peasants themselves, but a big problem with the surname of the whole country, and it has a huge relationship with the military and government and the industrial and commercial circles.
"We are already doing the improvement of grain varieties now, and the research department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the People's Republic of China has carried out research on the improvement of rice grain varieties in southern provinces such as Hainan, but although this research has begun, it will take time to accumulate, maybe ten or even twenty years to produce results, and before that, what do we need to rely on to increase grain production?"
Speaking of which, Chen Jingyun can be regarded as talking about today's focus: "That is chemical fertilizer!" Chemical fertilizers have a huge and obvious effect on increasing grain production, and the grain output in the areas where chemical fertilizers have been applied on a large scale in recent years is significantly higher than that in other regions! But this is far from enough, we have more than one billion mu of arable land in China, if we can use chemical fertilizers, it will be enough to solve our problem of food shortage, and if there is enough food, then the problem of peasant land will be solved. In order to allow domestic enterprises to invest in fertilizers, the political axe has prepared a series of relevant preferential measures, not only to give tax incentives, but also to help the political axe to sell to farmers! ”
Letting the broad masses of capitalists invest in chemical fertilizer factories and other related enterprises is the most important purpose of Chen Jingyun's speech today, otherwise he would not care about the peasant issue of a group of military and political dignitaries and entrepreneurs. Now what he wants to say is: The political axe attaches importance to the problems of the peasants, and in order to improve the lives of the peasants, the political axe can give all the convenience to the fertilizer and other related enterprises.
China's fertilizer industry has been doing before the reunification, but the scale of development has not been fast, mainly in the past few years the political axe has put the main energy on the national defense enterprises, although there are preferential treatment for the fertilizer industry, but the investment is not much, and most of the other private capital is invested in the textile industry and other light industries that come quickly, the fertilizer industry involves the chemical industry is not small, and the domestic farmers have not yet formed the concept of using chemical fertilizer, it is not easy for farmers to accept the use of chemical fertilizer.
This back and forth has dragged on, so most of the other domestic industries have been on the system, and the environment at home and abroad is also better, so Chen Jingyun also has the time and energy to pay attention to the problems of farmers and the fertilizer industry.
For Chen Jingyun, the easiest way to express his concern about farmers' issues and the fertilizer industry is to give a speech directly, and according to his current influence, others cannot ignore what he says, which is enough for domestic entrepreneurs to see the profits of the fertilizer industry.
As soon as Chen Jingyun's speech ended, the political axe in Nanjing was very cooperative in promulgating relevant regulations to encourage agricultural development, and the most sensational thing was that the political axe will give certain subsidies to peasant families who use chemical fertilizers.
Although the money is not taken out by the political axe itself, but the tax collected by the political axe from the fertilizer company, and the money of the fertilizer company is earned from the farmers, in the final analysis, the farmers themselves pay for it. But this level of relationship is really incomprehensible to ordinary people, in short, it looks like a political axe directly sent money to farmers to use chemical fertilizer.
What did the unprecedented move of the political axe bring? That is the massive fertilizer market, almost Chen Jingyun just left Shanghai, Shanghai's capital market has raised a lot of capital to invest in the fertilizer industry, even Huaxia Bank and Southeast Bank these large bank consortium also see the vast money of the entire Chinese fertilizer industry, intend to invest heavily in this industry.
The large-scale use of chemical fertilizers in China's agriculture has to start this year.
After leaving this sensation, Chen Jingyun's special train set off again, and returned to Nanjing after a circle, but this time his special train did not stop, but along the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge that was completed last year and continued north to Chuzhou, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was built by the Ministry of Communications directly invested heavily in order to connect the Jinpu Railway and the Yangtze River Delta railway network, the bridge was designed by the famous American designer Glitter, it is a double-decker road and railway dual-purpose bridge, the lower layer passes the train, and the upper layer is the highway. Construction began in 1919 and took four years to complete at the end of 1923, making it the first bridge across the Yangtze River in China, and once completed, it became the world's largest and longest road and rail bridge. Even the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which is under construction, is not as long as the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.
After crossing the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Chen Jingyun's special train continued to go north, and then stopped in Chuzhou, the reason why it stopped in Chuzhou is very simple, because there is Chuzhou Aircraft Company here, and Chuzhou Aircraft Company is also the design and manufacturer of China's F1 and F2 fighters and B4 bombers, although there are three or four other aircraft design and manufacturing companies in China, but the Chuzhou Aircraft Company, which was transformed from the Fuzhou Aircraft Factory, is undoubtedly the largest aircraft design and manufacturer in China at present. Passing by Chuzhou, how could Chen Jingyun not come here to take a look.
