Chapter 267 - Introducing New Policies
"I want to fight Guangzhou?"
"This source is absolutely reliable!" Meng Xiang nodded and said, this is the credit of the 101 placed in the country.
Since the clone spy can play very few roles at the beginning, it can only start with some small people at the bottom. So give them every choice they take, be very cautious. Each spy spends 100,000 yuan, and Meng Xiang has invested more than 10 million yuan so far.
The just-ended room 110 to room 101 are all called this spy. After layers of screening, 101, who had some relationship with Konoe Fumiro, became one of the drivers beside him.
Meng Xiang originally planned to sow the seeds and wait for the harvest later, but he didn't expect 101 to get this information first, and it was passed back through the vanguard army's intelligence organization in Yueben.
Fan Chong looked at the map for a while before he said: "Guangzhou has been sealed, and the seaport passage to the outside of China has almost been blocked. ”
A few days ago, Xiamen and other places also fell.
Guangzhou became the only large-scale port in China at this time, as the starting point of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, domestic raw silk, tung oil, pig bristles, tea and other materials were transported out from here, in exchange for a large number of war materials.
"Once Guangzhou falls, Guangzhou Bay can still be navigable, and the highway from there to Liuzhou has just been built, and I am afraid that Kou will even block it, and there will really be no place at that time." Zhou Bai sighed, "Myanmar and Vietnam can still transport a little, and the central government now has plans to pass there." Railways and roads are being built in that direction. It's just that the capacity is limited, and it's hard to quench your thirst with a glass of water! ”
"When the time comes, once Guangzhou falls and loses the support of tariffs, it will be even more difficult for the central government!" Li Shuchun said. He knew that if there was no channel for external import and export, Lao Jiang's finances would lose half of the country. Most of the customs duties and salt taxes were lost, and most of the rich coastal lands were also taken by the devils. The taxes can't be collected, and so many people who open their mouths to ask for money are enough for Lao Jiang's headache.
"I said that I want to fight Guangzhou, and the war in the north is not over yet?" Pharmacist Tang frowned.
"Soviet Russia and Yue Ben are very tense on the border, and the war in North China will not make much movement for the time being, so I will concentrate my forces on dealing with Soviet Russia." Meng Xiang also sighed a little in his heart, two little spies actually provoked such a big incident.
Originally, this border conflict had been tense for a while, and it was almost stopped. General Ryushikov, who was in charge of the Internal Affairs Committee of Soviet Russia in the Far East, defected to the puppet Manchurians. He brought with him the arrangement of Soviet Russia's power in the Far East. The hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops and more than 1,000 military planes made Yue himself panic.
At this time, he said that the army he had deployed in the Korean and puppet Manchurian areas had only nine divisions and regiments. If the Soviet Russian army goes south, he will definitely not be able to stop it. For this reason, the divisions that were supposed to be transferred to North China also went back, and the two divisions that were planned to be transferred to North China in China also began to support the puppet Manchurians.
At the same time, the troops of the North China Front also began to prepare for the defense of the north, and the focus began to move closer to the north, which was also one of the reasons why Zhengzhou was not breached.
The 22nd Division in Linyi also began to be transferred back to Tianjin. Rather than acquiring more land, the base camp is more inclined to keep the existing land and resources.
"As soon as the war in Guangzhou starts, then my injuries will also be healed!" Meng Xiang said with a smile, there were clone guards, and several people didn't know how dangerous he was at that time, they just thought that he wasn't seriously injured.
"Before that, I think it's time for us to clean up those beam-jumping clowns."
On the night of June 21, there were voices of arrests everywhere, and the clones were almost mobilized en masse, and the three prisons for special care were overcrowded.
"Through the trial of the SAR courts, in accordance with the relevant laws of the central government, the sentence shall be imposed on those who should be sentenced in criminal cases that endanger society. As for the political prisoners, as long as they are not Han Zhan who colluded with him, they can be expelled. Corresponding property confiscation. Meng Xiang specially said a little more in the latter sentence, this time to clean the interior, it is impossible to mow the grass like Stalin, it is normal to have opposing opinions, these people are not guilty of death, and they are involved in a lot of relationships that give Meng Xiang a headache, just pull them out and expel them, and confiscate the property. Only those who have violated the laws of the country can be investigated in depth, otherwise some trends will be expanded, and it will be difficult to stop them.
Some of the clean-up of the local tyrants and bandits was fired, but it quickly collapsed under the attack of the prepared vanguard army.
Every arrest in the army is carried out by the gendarmerie, not a violation of the current military discipline and military law, and Meng Xiang will not pursue it too much. For those who were instigated internally, a few people who had committed particularly serious military laws, such as embezzlement, were arrested and shot directly after being tried by a military court, and the rest were sent to the forward death camp to wait for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to those crimes.
On the 22nd, good news came from the hospital, Meng Xiang woke up and was recovering.
The cleanup is still continuing, but Meng Xiang controls that every step is based on the law, so as not to have restrictions and accidents and leave hidden dangers in the future. If Meng Xiang puts aside the new clothes of the law, then everyone will follow suit in the future.
At the same time, the clean-up process is carried out in accordance with national law and military law, which also avoids gossip from outsiders.
Every step of the process, everyone, and the vanguard army have made it public, and the attitude of the people showing fairness has made many media who follow the report not have too many complaints.
The cleanup was only carried out for three days, and Meng Xiang, who did not want to expand, stopped the car and only executed 21 people. Blindly slaughtering people against the countrymen, especially those with different political views, will not do much to help. As long as the people's will is obedient, the roots will be directly broken, and others will have no chance.
But the expulsion of thousands of people at once also gave a sense of the scale of the Vanguard operation.
"The law must continue to be sound, some acts need to be heavily punished, and some provisions are not suitable and need to be amended." In this action, Meng Xiang realized that if he wanted to use the banner of the law, he had to hold it in his hands. The warlord's set of doing his own thing, Lao Tzu's biggest style is the most stupid, and there is a law for the people to imagine at will, this is the least flawed approach. The banner of the law can be resisted even against the banner of righteousness.
"Notify the committee, expand the scale of the law compilation group, and seize the time to improve the SAR bill." Meng Xiang touched his slippery chin and said, and the rat next to him quickly recorded it.
There is a major in politics and law in the Jixia Academy, and Meng Xiang has already sent someone to revise the bill of the Special Administrative Region.
For this reason, some legal experts were specially invited to revise the bill, such as Qian Duansheng, Wu Jingxiong, Xu Daolin, Mei Rujiao, Shi Shangkuan, Hu Changqing, Cai Shuheng, Jiang Yong, and others were all looted, and of course some did not come, such as Wang Chonghui, who all had positions in the central government and did not come easily.
The law needs to be revised by professional personnel to avoid loopholes as much as possible, but in order to pass, it needs the voice of the public. This voice needs to be implemented through the citizens' assembly, and before that, the administrative system needs to be established, along with the most fundamental economic system.
"The subsistence allowance policy can start to be promoted! Prepare for the Census Registration! "With the involvement of the Russians, in the next month or two, the devils will not make much moves, and it is just right for the internal reform of the SAR to begin.
The subsistence allowance policy proposed by Meng Xiang has changed a lot after some discussion by Pharmacist Tang and others. The policy of 10 acres of land per household has not changed, but the subsistence allowance standard for the landless population has been lowered, and the first-level has been changed to 60 catties, the second-level is 100 catties, the third-level ordinary grade is 150 catties, the fourth-level is 250 catties, and the fifth-level is 400 catties.
According to Tang Yaoshi, Shengmien, Doumiqiu, such a standard is very good according to domestic standards, 60 catties of wheat a year are exchanged for coarse grains, and no one will starve to death. There is also the encouragement of high welfare above, and the people are motivated. Encouraging everyone to have a job also makes the 150-pound ordinary type become the mainstream.
With such a change, the quality of the surname has changed a lot, but for now, it is the most suitable. It can also alleviate the pressure in the event of a large influx of people from the surrounding area and related policies in other similar areas.
"People under ten acres of land don't have to pay taxes in the future!" A young soldier at the entrance of Zhangwa Village was shouting loudly.
"Dog, aren't you a soldier in the Vanguard Army? How did you get back? An old man in the melon field at the entrance of the village shouted.
"I came with the task force of the SAR to promote the new policy. Meng Dashuai said, all the ten acres of land we farm are exempt from tax, and we don't have to pay any imperial grain and national taxes! Li Guohao said excitedly. He heard the news shortly after he finished his recruit training. The battalion commander specially said at the meeting that the local soldiers who joined the army took turns to go home to help the team publicize the survey and do the work, and to protect the safety of the team.
It was his turn to be the first to rotate.
"What? Don't pay taxes to the government? That tax resistance is going to kill the head! The old man obviously thought that he had heard it wrong, and comforted Li Guohao and said that there were several tax resists in Shandong back then, and the heads of the people who were killed were all rolled all over the ground.
"It's not tax resistance! It was our current Meng Dashuai who said it himself, and those with less than ten acres of land no longer need to pay taxes to the government. He said it. He's the biggest official here. Li Guohao explained.
"Really?" The old man's eyes stained with yellow feces widened, and the red blood was exposed.
"Really!"
"Then do I still have to pay for these two acres of melon fields?" The old man grabbed the corner of Li Guohao's clothes.
"You don't have to pay for grain on ten acres of land, and other crops within three acres are also exempt from tax." Before leaving, the student soldiers of the task force had already answered their questions. After the pondering and research of hundreds of people such as Pharmacist Tang, these loopholes have been reduced a lot.
"By the way, second uncle, there are only two people in your family, so you can only be tax-exempt according to one person and three acres of land, and you still have to pay taxes if you have more." Li Guohao suddenly thought of this old man, there were only two people in the family: him and his son.
"No, there are only four acres of land in the family. It's not our turn to pay our taxes yet. The old man smiled and said, "Dog, is what you said true?" Don't fool me? ”
"It's all true, you go to the entrance of the village in a while, and there will be a notice there! stamped with the big red seal of the handsome. ”
At this time, there was also a large group of onlookers at the entrance of another Zhaijia Village, and the discussion was so noisy that no one listened to Lin Donglai's words. The decision to reduce or reduce the national tax on imperial grain is so amazing that most of the people still don't believe it for a while. When I saw the big red seal, I read it twice by the private school teacher in the village, and the people began to believe it.
"This is Meng Dashuai's benevolence!" An old man shouted loudly, in the past, only when there was a famine, the national tax on imperial grain was exempted, but at this time, as soon as Meng Dashuai's big seal was stamped, he directly exempted all future taxes. Although it is only ten acres of land, there are several families in a village with more than ten acres of land.
"I don't have land, what should I do?" Someone from the side looked at the hot eyes and couldn't help shouting.
"Those who don't have land can go to work, and in addition to wages, the government will give 150 catties of grain a year. Get it once a quarter to ensure that you don't have to worry about eating. Lin Donglai shouted loudly.
"It's useless to tell him, he's a lazy man, he can't do a few days of work, and he only thinks about the pie falling from the sky all day long." Someone laughed.
"That, there are also 60 catties of relief grain a year, and if you exchange some miscellaneous grains, you can't starve to death with wild vegetables." Lin Dong said. He can't think of this rule that if you don't work, you will have food, isn't this feeding these people for nothing? In fact, what he didn't know was that these people were a minority after all, and many of them became weak people in society for various reasons.
"I'm lame, not lazy!" The man argued.
"If you are disabled, you can receive 100 catties of food a year. Those over the age of 60 can also come directly to receive 100 catties of grain, and those who are 70 years old can receive 150 catties of fine grain. Lin Donglai shouted again.
"Wow!" The people below coaxed in unison, this is the government to directly support the elderly.
"This is the Living Bodhisattva who has come down to help us poor!" An old lady clasped her hands together and kept bowing to the sky, "Go back and build a tablet for Meng Dashuai, and we will offer it every day in the future!" ”
"Dad, shall we split up?" Jiao Chongli timidly leaned over to the old man Jiao who was squatting there smoking and said silently.
"I beat you rabbit cub, and after only a few days of marrying a daughter-in-law, I want to break up!" Jiao Laohan was upset when he heard this, took off his shoes and threw them towards Jiao Chongli, who was already two children.
Jiao Chongli jumped away suddenly, and argued: "Thirty acres of land at home, our brothers will divide it, as long as there are enough three people, it will not be tax-free." ”
Jiao Chongxin teased beside him: "Second brother, you have a sister-in-law and my nephew and niece, are there four of them?" ”
Jiao Chongli, who had already fled far away, looked at the old man Jiao who was jumping to pick up his shoes, and said confidently: "With my kind of land technology, I don't have to pay taxes on ten acres of land, and I have no problem supporting eight people." ”
