Chapter 268: They Just Empty Promises

"Is it a savior or a great warlord?"

"The door to the world of utopia has been opened! Shandong will usher in an idealized era! ”

"The biggest lie! Is the Vanguard still rich? ”

"Everyone has food, everyone has clothes to wear, the few are taught, and the old are supported. Is this the world of cosmopolitan or the world of public property? ”

"Deformed communitarianism! Meng Xiang has never escaped the essence of a warlord. ”

"The red flag is floating in the sky over Qidu, and the vanguard army is the lackey of Soviet Russia?"

One stone startles a thousand waves.

The news of the sinking of the Izumo was drowned out in a day by overwhelming reports of the Vanguard's reform policy.

As for the surprising policy of eliminating the imperial grain and national tax for most people, the minimum guarantee of doing nothing and still having a grain share has provoked people's minds.

"What is he doing here?" Old Jiang shouted angrily. The vanguard army's move made everyone unable to take it.

After the people know this method, will they still honestly pay grain and taxes?

This is a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo, and it is also a typical self-destructive person. The vanguard threw out such an idea that made the people crazy, how could he have the money to maintain such a huge welfare system? Even Europe and the United States do not dare to pack tickets like this. Even if the vanguard army stops doing anything, and the mouths of the common people have been raised, how will future generations take over? If you can't pick the fruit, you have to carry a big burden.

It was not only he who was troubled by these policies, but other parties were also worried, and after hearing about the policies of the vanguard army, many of the members who had been developing well withdrew from the organization and engaged in activities, and no one came to actively participate in them. A large number of intellectuals began to flock to the base areas of the vanguard army, not for the subsistence allowance, but just to feel and explore this new model at close range, and to seek another development path to save the country and the people.

There are also some civilians who are also flocking to the vanguard base areas, although the newspapers have already published that the people they serve are temporarily only experimental surnames for the population of the Special Administrative Region. But the people still went there with a glimmer of hope, hoping to catch the last train. At this time, the vanguard army was surrounded by devils, blocking most of the passages, but still could not stop people's hope.

For those intellectuals and young students, the vanguard army has already published in the newspapers and has set up offices in Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan, Chongqing, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Kunming, and other major cities, through which they can come to the SEZ for "visits."

As for the common people, the vanguard army also specially emphasized that this time it is only aimed at the people of the SAR. This has caused a lot of complaints, but this is their own political axe measure, and others have no choice but to hope that one day their hometown can implement similar measures.

But more people are waiting to see the implementation of this policy, and no one knows how far this policy can go, which puts too much pressure on the finances.

"They're killing themselves! The young general didn't hurt his brain, did he? ”

"He is gathering people's hearts, and in a month or two, he can accumulate a lot of people's hearts. After a month or two of implementation, as long as he raised his arms, the common people on their territory could quickly gather together and form a huge army of even more than a million. In order to protect the treatment in their hearts, they will fight bravely against the enemy, and this army will be difficult to resist. ”

"And what about two months later? Didn't they just quickly break up across the stage? ”

"As long as they keep fighting and maintain that policy with the spoils of war, they won't be able to cross it for the time being. But it won't be too long, there won't be so much wealth to support their growing army needs. They are bound to fall! ”

"It's a pity that this policy is still good, but now Huaxia does not have this ability to support it. I hope that before they fall, they will make Yue himself suffer a great loss. ”

"If the Vanguard can carry out this new policy this time, they will be the Empire's worst enemies. It would be terrible if all the people of China were gathered! ”

"You're worrying too much! Even if the vanguard army pushes forward this policy and can't cross it, their finances will have to be drained first, where is the remaining money to support the army's consumption? If this policy was a weapon in peacetime, but now that it is being introduced, they are just committing suicide. What we have to do is to beware of them calling on the common people before committing suicide, and finally madly storming the armies of our empire. More than 20 million people, calling for 1 million or even 2 million, it is possible! ”

"Then do we need to shift our focus now and deal with the vanguard first? Nip this danger in the bud? ”

"It's too late, and now they can call for at least a million young people from China to fight to protect the benefits that may befall their families, and they will fight to the death for their families. Attacking the vanguard at this time will only make us fall into this quagmire, and with the weapons of the vanguard army, we will lose a lot of soldiers, and then we will not be able to resist the threat of Soviet Russia. Recruits to the empire also need time. ”

"Then we can only watch them like this?"

"It is the most foolish thing to use the means of war against the vanguard army at this time, to disintegrate them from within. As long as their finances collapse, they are finished with everything. Except for those young and strong, expel more Chinese people to the territory of the vanguard army, and see how they are raised? Since the vanguard army treats outsiders and locals distinctly, sooner or later there will be problems. Put more people inside, take the opportunity to agitate, and they will soon have civil strife. If you want to be appeased, how can you do it without money? We must always pay attention to their dynamics, and if they recruit troops on a large scale, we must notify them in advance and be prepared, and now we will deal with the pressure from the Soviet and Russian sides first. ”

Meng Xiang will not stupidly gather more than a million people to go crazy in the end, the reason why he launched these policies is to stabilize the interior of the special zone and build an iron bucket, and the second is to take the lead in the national layout. With the comparison of the vanguard army's subsistence allowance, there is no better policy than this, and the practical people will not support you at all.

"I can't do it, those ordinary people are too unconscious. When I went to the development organization, they first asked us if we had a subsistence allowance, and they were all lazy people and opportunists. ”

"Be patient, people need to do enlightenment work slowly."

"Why don't we also implement subsistence allowance like the Vanguard? At the very least, the people's land tax should be exempted, and their minds will be easy to do! ”

"The vanguard army is just a team of warlords, they have obtained wealth by squeezing the people, and now they are only making empty promises, and they will not be able to pay this fee in the end." Not many people who know the actual situation in China believe that this subsistence allowance figure is too huge, and it will also face huge military spending, and I heard that there is also compulsory education, which will only make people suspect that this is just a big talk of the vanguard army.

"However, I also think this subsistence allowance policy is good. It's just that there is one question I don't understand, do even the evil capitalists have to eat subsistence? They have sucked the blood of the workers, and they have come to suck the blood of the people. If it is only for the poor, isn't it possible to reduce the burden or increase the benefits of the poor people? ”

"Who divides the poor into the rich? Once there is a leak in it, those who need it will not be able to win it, and those who are powerful will continue to receive the subsistence. Their greed will not miss the slightest opportunity to plunder wealth, so we will bring down that evil class. ”

Meng Xiang had already prepared for this money. Even if all the people are on subsistence allowance, he can easily support himself for three months. The attraction of not paying taxes on ten acres of land makes most people choose land. This piece didn't have much to lose to him, and he didn't expect Tian Fu in the first place. It made it easier for him.

Population registration and land surveying have been initiated.

Many families choose to have separate hukou, and they can live together with separate hukou. But with the passage of time and the economic readiness, the original family system is slowly collapsing.

The land was also redemarcated. In areas with less land and more people, there are more people who eat subsistence, and the vanguard army took the opportunity to release some of the land in the area under their own hands to relieve the pressure. In areas with few people and more land, in order to evade the tax of more than 10 acres of land, land transactions were booming, and the vanguard army took the opportunity to absorb and set up military reclamation farms to absorb idle laborers and the resettlement of disabled soldiers.

In order to crack down on usury in the process of land transactions, Taiping Bank took the lead in issuing low-interest loans for small land. According to the information of the population registration, those who have less than 10 acres of land can buy land with low-interest loans to make up the amount of 10 acres. Although this raises the price of land, it guarantees the number of land sales, and under the big policy, the smooth implementation of the policy is essential.

Faced with lucrative land deals and rising land taxes, landlords in many places began to sell off some of their land. In particular, the SAR government has stipulated that the seller will need to pay a high land transaction tax for the land transaction after the land registration, and this provision immediately caused many landlords who were reluctant to sell their land to sell out in advance.

In exchange for gold and silver, they invested in the mines, factories, and railways thrown by the vanguard. After so many years of social change, there are very few people who just cling to the land, and most of them know that the factory makes money. At this time, the vanguard army held hundreds of factories in their hands, except for some that involved the people's livelihood and needed to be controlled by the plan, only some stocks were sold, and the others that could be thrown were thrown out, so as to absorb the funds in the hands of the landlords and tyrants.

Whether it is subsistence allowance or land measurement, this requires a scale foundation.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, the unification of weights and measures was the basis for stabilizing his rule. In later generations, Meng Xiang is an important surname that knows the standard.

Fortunately, at this time, the central political axe had already begun to be unified, and the weights and measures that Meng Xiang was familiar with in later generations had already been formulated at this time. When Meng Xiang unified the pinyin script, the unified promotion of weights and measures was included in one of the basic political axe work.

The basis of the central government's standards of weights and measures is the international standard system of units such as meters and kilograms, which is much stronger than standards such as the imperial system.

With the increase of weapons and equipment, standardization was noticed by Meng Xiang early. If mechanized troops are not established without a standard system, then the consequences will be very fatal. Although with the support of the base, the pressure of logistics support is much easier, but with the establishment of its own industrial system, the standard needs to penetrate into every screw in advance.

"Promote the metric system, follow the municipal system, restrict the imperial system, and abolish the miscellaneous system" This is the result of the discussion between Meng Xiang and Zhou Bai and others, even if it is to be changed, the long-term customs are impossible to change all at once.

The meter became the main unit of length, and the ruler followed the system of 33.33 centimeters after the reform. The land area is still mainly mu, which is convenient for the people to identify and recognize.

The public and industrial production and trading of political axes are mainly based on kilograms and tons, while the private market catties are still the mainstream, but 16 taels are changed to 10 taels, and the system is unified into 10 digits. The conversion sum of the 2 carry is convenient, too.

The measuring tool is used as the unit of measurement for production, but the stone of private trading follows the central one and is transformed into a hundred catties.

Such a change has brought some inconvenience to the people, but Lao Jiang Zhengax has also been implemented for ** years, and Lao Han has implemented it very thoroughly, so it has not caused great trouble.

In order to promote weights and measures, Meng Xiang specially rushed to produce some standard instruments of weights and measures in advance, and took advantage of this registration and measurement to push them out at once.

One of the most conspicuous is the village monument erected at the head of each village. On each stele, the name of the village is recorded. On both sides of the stele are depicted the standard units of meters and the scale of decimeters, as well as the scale of rulers and inches. There is a standard groove of one bucket on the base of each tablet, and two one-liter grooves on the periphery of each side. In addition, each village has added a large and a small balance next to the village monument, which can be weighed from a hundred kilograms of weight to a new one or two.

Land registration and the weighing of subsistence grain have made the common people much more savvy. With this, ordinary people can't afford to fool around.

The implementation of the standard is most affected by the factory, because the factory is implementing the metric system. Not only are weights and measures unified, but many standards are being harmonized, from screws and bolts to the dimensions of many parts. Most of the weapons of the Vanguard Army do not need to be supplied by the private sector, but some of the attached equipment needs to be supported by the civilian sector. The needs of the vanguard army are the best standard.

At this time, the demand of the vanguard army is still small, and some standards cannot be unified quickly because they involve machines purchased abroad, and can only be solved slowly, but the steps of the standards have been determined, and they are walking in that direction step by step.
