"Runzhi, Wu Yushuai is still an experienced man, I think this method can work." Zhou Elai, who had not spoken beside him, took over the topic at this time and said eloquently: "Now there is no one in Xinjiang, and no one can do anything, so let's first find a way to attract poor middle peasants from the mainland to Xinjiang, and what method should we use to attract them?" It's just land.

After they come to Xinjiang in large numbers, we can also find ways to guide them onto the road of socialist agricultural cooperation -- for Xinjiang's agricultural work, my idea is to add cooperative farms to state farms. Among them, cooperation is the mainstream, and state-owned farms are the direction of development, which can be carried out in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps first, and then extended to the whole of Xinjiang when conditions permit. ”

Mao ZD also seemed to be a little tempted, he pondered for a while and then asked: "Come, how much time are you going to spend on agricultural cooperation in Xinjiang during the comprehensive construction period?" ”

"Eight years! The first five years were mainly used to attract immigrants, but in the next three years, cooperation was gradually promoted to complete the socialist transformation of Xinjiang's agriculture and animal husbandry. ”

"It's been too long, it's been too long, it's taken eight years to get a cooperative ...... Chang Ruiqing's first five-year plan can be completed! There are two or three million tons of steel, right? How should the superiority of our socialism be manifested? ”

"When the transformation of Xinjiang's agriculture and animal husbandry (referring to the socialist transformation) is fully completed and the railroad is almost repaired, the superiority of our socialist system should be brought into play."

Mao Zd thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Yushuai, e." After all, you will be in charge of Xinjiang in the future, and I, the chairman of the party, can only mention a little bit of advice. I have no problem with the use of land to attract immigrants, and as long as our party still maintains its vigorous fighting capacity, it will not be much difficult to transform Xinjiang with a small peasant economy into a socialist Xinjiang...... Because the party is the real core of our cause! And our Northwest Bureau, which turned out to be the purest and most combat-effective branch in the entire Chinese GCD, is a fortress of GCISM tempered by a real revolutionary war! Why can't we maintain the fine style of the Northwest Bureau? Why should we learn the bureaucratic style of the Nationalist Government and the National Defense Forces? I think that the Northwest Bureau should become a beacon of GCISM that points out the direction for the whole party and the people of the whole country, and that the whole party should learn from the Northwest Bureau, not from the National Defense Force of the Nationalist Government. That's ...... backwards."

Speaking of which, Mao Zd had already found a trace of impatience on the faces of the two Xinjiang kings in front of him. He sighed helplessly and said no more.

He knew that the current Chinese GCD had achieved its ruling position in an ancient country that had been feudal for thousands of years -- and that it had been in coalition with the bourgeois Kuomintang after a very incomplete revolution. Now, the political and military revolution is halfway complete, overthrowing the feudal warlords, but not the bourgeois army! The ideological revolution has just begun, and it began here in the Northwest Bureau of the Central G. But that's just the beginning. The thinking of the vast number of party members, revolutionary cadres and revolutionary soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Bureau has not really jumped out of the influence of thousands of years of feudalism. They have not served the people wholeheartedly, and there is still a strong bureaucratic and privileged plot. Once we relax our ideological transformation, we are very likely to embark on the old road of fighting the country -- sitting on the country, overthrowing the emperor and becoming the emperor ourselves! And Comrade Zuomin, who was once the standard-bearer of the Chinese proletarian revolution, is now corrupt and degenerated into a ** dictator, which is probably the best negative teaching material! ……

Chang Da's negative textbook was talking to Chen Duxiu and Pan Yucheng at this time. Chang Ruiqing, who has been corrupted and degenerated into a ** dictator, of course will not abide by the terms of reference of the chairman of the military committee and honestly be responsible for the military, but will meddle in the management of the overall situation of the Republic of China. In addition to advancing the industrialization of the country step by step. Outside of his established plan to prepare for a future world war. He also did not forget about the social transformation of China. The authoritarian rule of the state may not last long, and after the end of the six-year discipline, he may need the people to support his regime with votes - or rather, to put a democratic veneer on his dictatorship.

Of course, if the democratic constitutionalism does not ensure that he can continue to control the government, he will not hesitate to tear off the mask and impose a military dictatorship, as he did in Fujian.

But now. He still has to lay out for the election victory in six years' time. He was not worried about the votes of the citizens and the working class, and he would certainly be packaged as a great leader under the overwhelming public opinion offensive of the Left People's Youth League, the Iron and Blood Comrades Association, and the propaganda departments of the Nationalist Government. He had no doubt about that. And the Kuomintang and the factions within the GCD that they support. It will inevitably include the majority of the votes of city dwellers. However, China is a society with a majority of peasants, and the votes in the rural areas are the most crucial, and in order to win the support of the rural areas, it is not enough to rely on the offensive of public opinion. Even his line of land reform may not necessarily win him the support of the countryside. He vaguely remembered that the Kuomintang, which had carried out land reform in Taiwan, did not win the support of the peasants in the central and southern parts of the country.

So on this issue, it must not be taken for granted. You can't go wrong with thoughtful consideration.

"Mr. Pan, how much has the rural land reform been completed now? In the provinces that have completed land reform, how powerful are the traditional forces in the rural areas? Chang Ruiqing looked at Pan Yucheng, the Minister of Agriculture in charge of rural work and the chairman of the Fisheries and Farmers Association, and asked in a low voice.

As of the first quarter of this year, five provinces, including Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Shanxi, have completed land reform. By the end of this year, six provinces, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, and Hebei (Zhili), will complete land reform. In addition, there are eight provinces, including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Mongolia, and Shaanxi, where the land concentration process is very low, and the resistance to land reform is also very small. The land reform in the remaining five provinces, including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan, and Shandong, may take a little effort. There are also Gansu provinces, Xinjiang provinces and Tibet provinces that do not have a timetable for land reform......"

Chang Ruiqing whispered to himself: "The progress is not slow, you have done a good job...... Pan Yucheng smiled, and then continued: "The situation of traditional forces in China's rural areas is very complicated. Generally speaking, the gentry were the core of the traditional power, and the core of the gentry was the traditional scholarly class with great fame - at least in the southern regions and Shanxi provinces. At present, most of these scholars left over from the former Qing Dynasty are old and have gradually lost their influence after the land reform. They are now replaced by village primary school principals, township mayors and village policemen, as well as IDF officers in the townships, cadres of the Fisheries and Peasants' Unions, and ...... The emerging class of gentry represented by gang figures. Most of them are supportive of us. ”

"This is just the situation in Jiangnan, South China and Shanxi. The landlord class there has always been relatively moderate, and has a tradition of running industry and commerce, and many people have made a fortune in the current round of economic development and have successfully transformed into the bourgeoisie. Of course, they supported our land reform policy -- and the perpetual coupon became their capital for investment in industry and commerce at a certain time. Chen Duxiu interjected: "But in the northern and southwestern regions where the commodity economy is underdeveloped, the situation is different. ”

Chang Ruiqing was reminded by his words, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I also know this, the landlords in Shandong and Henan are Xiao Haoqiang, and they are all armed, and this is also the case in my hometown Xuzhou." There were not a few guns in hand. A person who doesn't have a few friends on the underworld can't be a landlord! ”

Chen Duxiu added: "Moreover, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces are the nests of Beiyang, and most of the leading figures there have worked as errands in the Beiyang government and the Beiyang army. These people are not quite on the same path as us. If the remnants of the Beiyang forces form a political party, they will definitely take refuge in the past.

In the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, the strength of the landlord class is not strong, but they all have their own special circumstances. Sichuan is the world of the robe brothers, and the whole society has been infiltrated by the elders' association, and it is not possible to have an effect in the short term if you want to rectify it. Those robe brothers and we are not on the right path, if constitutional government is implemented, most of them will support the leftists of the Kuomintang (Jiang Jshi, Xie Zhi are leftists?). ）。 Yunnan is the nest of the Yunnan army, and most of the leading figures in society have worked in the Yunnan army. Either they came out of the Yunnan Jiangwutang, these people are not on the right path with us, and they are also supporters of the left wing of the Kuomintang. As for Guizhou, the situation is similar to that of Yunnan. These three provinces also have relatively complex ethnic issues. The Tusi and Touren of the ethnic minorities have a great influence there, and some of them are still armed, forming a de facto secession.

However, Shaanxi is the same as Shanxi, and there are not many landlords there. There is no landlord in China. Most of the local armed forces in Shaanxi belonged to the Kuomintang faction, and they had been crippled by Beiyang before we fought past. The Central Army was their savior, and it was also beneficial for them that we were preparing to build a railway to speed up Shaanxi's economic development, so most of them supported us. It belongs to the right wing of the Kuomintang.

As for the three northeastern provinces. Except for some Manchurians, they must support us. There have always been three major evils in the Northeast: Maozi, devils, and bandits. Now that they have called us to be cured, who else can they support if they don't support us? ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly. There was a slight smile on his face. It seems that the current situation makes him very satisfied - he has never expected 100% support, this kind of thing does not exist, and it is enough to have a support rate of about 70%. He pondered: "Prime Minister, Mr. Pan, you have been working hard for the land reform. You will need to continue to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the coming constitutional period...... But rural work is not just about land reform, village town rights and village primary schools. It is our long-term goal to help Chinese farmers live a more prosperous life and build China's rural areas better. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”

Pan Yucheng, an expert on rural issues, began to talk eloquently when he heard Chang Ruiqing's question: "According to the peasants at the bottom themselves, they have two big mountains, heavy rents and high profits...... Now we have partially solved the problem of renting, and the issue of small loans issued by the fishermen's association has also partially solved the problem of usury. However, in my opinion, the causes of poverty in the peasants are in addition to the above two reasons. There are also quite a few problems of the farmers themselves.

First of all, farmers are conservative in their thinking, unwilling to accept new production technologies and new varieties, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides in rural areas are very difficult, higher yield, better quality American cotton is not willing to plant, and fishery farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will almost cause cicada farmers to riot in order to promote the new cicada farming method!

The second is some bad traditional customs, mainly the excessive expenses of weddings and funerals, and the prevailing trend of comparison. Often, a wedding or funeral can saddle a medium-sized farmer with usury (the fisherman will not lend money to the farmer for the wedding). ”

"These things can only be done slowly, the key is education, the culture of the peasants has gone up. There will always be a way to solve these problems. Chang Ruiqing thought for a while and asked, "Then do we have any work that we can do for the farmers right away?" ”

"That is the foundation and water conservancy construction in rural areas, as well as the mechanism for stabilizing the prices of agricultural products." Pan Yucheng pondered and said: "The former is mainly to build roads and rural irrigation facilities, and now it has begun to be done. The latter is also the cause of the poverty of the peasants, because the prices of agricultural products fluctuate too much, and the peasants often do not make money from farming......"

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and interrupted, "I know all this, Mr. Pan." You can discuss it with the Prime Minister. Is there anything else that can be done? ”

Pan Yucheng shook his head: "I can't think of it for the time being." Chen Duxiu took the question. smiled: "Either you will emigrate to the Northeast and Xinjiang." After all, there are more than a dozen provinces in the Guannai area, and there is no way to do it. However, there are still large tracts of uncultivated wasteland in the northeast, especially in Heilongjiang, and there is no problem in organizing thousands of people from the interior to go over. As for Xinjiang, there was not much land that could be used for farming, but after the land exchange with Soviet Russia this time, it was possible to obtain a large area of fertile land on both sides of the Ili River, and it was initially estimated that more than 100,000 square kilometers of land could be used for reclamation......

Chang Ruiqing interrupted him: "Isn't it the GC Doctrine Real Yàn District now?" What do you mean by Comrade Elai and Comrade Runyuki? Chen Duxiu said with a smile: "I just received a telegram from Runzhi and Elai, and they are ready to take out 100 million acres of land to attract 10 million immigrants!" ”

"Those lands...... Distributed to farmers? ”

"Yes. Every immigrant, male or female, old or young, can get 10 acres of land for free! ”

Chang Ruiqing shook his head gently: "Isn't this a separate field?" Didn't Comrade Mao ZD always oppose such a thing? How do you ...... now?"

He wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Chen Duxiu with a smile: "Now Comrade Zhou Elai is in charge of Xinjiang over there, and he is very pragmatic." The development of Xinjiang is first of all to introduce immigrants, and now Xinjiang has 2.18 million square kilometers, how can it be done without a population of 30 or 40 million? ”

"That's right." Chang Ruiqing nodded in a deep voice: "Prime Minister." Mr. Pan, the matter of mobilizing immigrants to Xinjiang is troublesome. However, the railway to Xinjiang has not yet been completed, and it is not realistic to pass tens of millions at once, so let's do it. No more than 1 million per year, 10 million in 10 years. In addition, the production and life of immigrants should also be considered. How to plant the land on the edge of the Ili River? What is suitable for planting? And how to adapt to the harsh cold climate in Xinjiang...... And so on, all of which have to be thoughtful. You can't be greedy for the progress of immigration and forget about it. These things are not rushed, you can only take your time. ”

After saying this, Chang Ruiqing looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the office and found that it was already half past five in the afternoon. So he stood up and prepared to send Chen Duxiu and Pan Yucheng out of the Tangshan Military Commission building, where their homes were in Nanjing.

When the three of them walked to the exit of the building with a smile and a smile, Chen Duxiu suddenly mentioned something: "Yaoru, do you know that Mr. Einstein, a great scientist from Germany, is going to visit China recently. ”

Chang Ruiqing snorted: "Really?" Which university invited him? ”

It was Liang Rengong (Liang Qichao) and Cai Zhongshen (Cai Yuanpei) who invited him with Peking University. However, he offered to come to Nanjing to have a look, and he also wanted to meet someone. ”

"See whom?" Chang Ruiqing said in his heart: "Probably you want to see me, right?" ”

"He is coming to Nanjing to meet Luo Yaoguo, the director of the Central No. 1 Aircraft Factory!" When Chen Duxiu said this, he also had an expression of disbelief. Yaoru, Ren Gong and Zhong Shen all hoped that Mr. Einstein would take advantage of his short visit to China to have more contact with Chinese students...... I hope that more young people will make scientific research their career. Do you want this Luo Yaoguo to go to Shanghai to meet Einstein? ”

"Albert Einstein is coming to Nanjing...... Luo Yaoguo!? Chang Ruiqing smiled reluctantly, thinking: "It seems that this Luo Yaoguo must have been possessed by some scientist from the future!" It is estimated that it is still in physics, probably still German! Uh, this guy must be watched, he can't be allowed to run to Germany to help Hitler build the atomic bomb! ”

Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it, I'll go to Shanghai with Luo Yaoguo to meet this big scientist." ”
