Chapter 254 Shanxi Fushen 3

Celebrate the promotion, and add a little more popularity for his new book "Red Flag".

... Compared with Hu Chuyuan's holding nearly half of the fields in Shandong at his peak, the total amount of land held by Shanxi landlords is not scary at all. As for Qiao Changqu Hou Kang's family, the total number of fields in their hands will not exceed 300,000 mu.

Hu Chuyuan is forcing them now, which is to make the whole Shanxi Province understand that no one can't move the political axe.

There are policies and countermeasures... There will be no good results against the political axe with those small methods.

Since Hu Chuyuan is here this time, he has to knock hard and take Shanxi Province as an example to make a specimen for Huguang, Henan, Shaanxi and Sichuan.

He is a capitalist and takes the capitalist road. He doesn't care about things like " everyone has a field".

The market has a market mechanism, and it can farm... A family that doesn't spare no effort can have 30 mu of land, can't farm, and a family that doesn't have a hard time... If there is no piece of land, that's also his own business.

The political axe only grasps one basic principle - the average number of fields held per household is less than 45 mu, and the per capita number of households is less than 7.5 mu enjoys 20% tax reduction and exemption.

45 mu to 120 mu is the standard tax. According to the standard of the field, a land tax will be charged according to the sixth grade. The income will be increased by 20% between 120 mu and 330 mu, and the income will be increased by 30% above 330 mu.

The agricultural tax of the political axe is actually not low. If the income is increased by 30%, unless you are very good at farming and growing high cash crops, you will not be able to make money.

Shanxi landlords immediately took advantage of the joint venture system and invented the land deposit method. The land belongs to the farmer's family, and the land deed is mortgaged in the hands of the landlord. Farmers still have to pay the land rent every year. At the same time, the farmers bear all the land tax themselves.

This method is not to say no. The problem is that Hu Chuyuan's current goal of governance is very dead. He is now very anxious to ask China's agriculture to enter the large agricultural economy and lay a solid foundation for the further development of industry and commerce.

Therefore, he has to take the operation of Shanxi first.

He is not engaged in a pure land revolution. It doesn't matter to the landlord. If you are both the landlord and want to benefit from the rich peasant policy, there is a problem. Second, there are basically no opium fields in the country, at least there are no opium fields, only in Shanxi, and the number is still very large.

Seeing that these people were silent, Hu Chuyuan was not polite and said bluntly, "Qiao Lao also said that there is no good thing in the world. My family also has more than 200 mu of land in Shanghai, and the grain is eaten by myself, but my family really pays taxes. How about you?

Qiao Jingyu hurriedly said, "Lord Shoufu, it will not be difficult for us to sell all the land, but... The Oshida method is not uncommon in all parts of Shanxi. If the imperial court has to investigate one by one, I'm afraid it will endanger the foundation of Shanxi."

Hu Chuyuan said, "Let me tell you for you that the agricultural economy in Shanxi Province is nothing more than growing sorghum, opium, spring wheat and corn. Each of your family has a rice industry, but there are hundreds of mu and thousands of mu of squires in the rice grain community. The so-called Shanxi Agricultural Credit Society is just between thousands of big landlords. A trick to play. What, are you blind when you are in power?

After a pause, he said, "From the current constitutional system of the country, the Oshida Law is a beautiful countermeasure, and there is no place to violate the provisions of the law. But don't think that I can't deal with this. Before I came to Shanxi, I had signed a new mandatory supplementary clause to deal with the Oshida Law you made. My method is very simple. Agricultural land must not be mortgaged in private hands. It must be mortgaged by banks and credit cooperatives designated by the government axe, and local banks and credit cooperatives shall apply for loans according to the mortgage of farmers. You...fight with me, you are really looking for the wrong person!"

Hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Hu Chuyuan's method was very excellent, and he broke all the foundations of the Oshida Law at one time.

If the Shanxi landlords and gentry want to use the mortgage qualification of Shanxi Nongxin Society to use the mortgage method, the political axe can immediately cancel the mortgage qualification of Shanxi Nongxin Society.

This article is common to all parts of the country.

In fact, Hu Chuyuan didn't want to do it unless he had to.

But there is nothing he can do. With the expansion of China's entire commercial capital and the openness of land transactions, there are large-scale land acquisitions in all provinces.

If the land merger in the six provinces of Shandong, Hebei and Jiangnan is supported by CITIC Society, small farmers have merged small farmers, divided up surplus land, and transformed into a large number of rich farmers. In Shanxi, it is ** naked local squires annexing small landlords, rich farmers and poor farmers.

In Sichuan, Henan, Huguang, Liangguang and Shaanxi, this situation is also obvious. The situation in Shanxi is only the most serious, because the strength of the rich gentry class in Shanxi is indeed the largest.

The strength of Cantonese merchants, Fujian merchants and Hui merchants is also very strong, but their capital mainly flows to industry and commerce, or to Nanyang.

Hu Chuyuan said it very clearly. He didn't talk much. He waved his hand and let everyone retreat.

In a word, there is no room for negotiation with him.

Everyone panicked, but they could only retreat out of the flower hall.

A group of people came out uneasily and gathered in the pavilion again to discuss countermeasures.

Qiao Zhiyong was still sitting in the flower hall. He felt a little unheard of the world and got up to make tea for Hu Chuyuan.

He is indeed relatively old. In Shanxi Province... He also has a prominent position and reputation in the whole business world in China. Hu Yanyuan got up and helped him and Hu Chuyuan make tea.

There are only four people left in the room, Hu Chuyuan, Hu Zhenyuan, Qiao Zhiyong and Yang Shiqi.

At this time, Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Chuyuan sighed, "Shoufu, it has been 20 years in a flash. Now that you have entered your prime, you are an old man who is about to die."

Hu Chuyuan also sighed, "Time rushes people to grow old, and this is a law that can't be violated."

There is a marriage between Hu Qiao's two families. Hu Weiyuan's eldest son married Qiao Zhiyong's granddaughter. Therefore, Hu Chuyuan is Qiao Zhiyong's junior, and he is also very polite and respectful to Qiao Zhiyong.

Qiao Zhiyong said, "Shanxi people like to run fields... This is also a thousand-year tradition. I'm afraid it's not easy to break it for a while. Maybe there will be trouble."

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, but did not hide it. He said, "I am well prepared. If it really doesn't work, I will send troops to Shanxi to maintain local order. Since I'm here this time, I must adjust the economic foundation of Shanxi. Shanxi has the foundation of large-scale investment in industry, but without the purchasing power and basic market of the province, it is very difficult for Shanxi's economy to develop better. For the long-term consideration, it is acceptable to mess up in a short time.

Qiao Zhiyong thought for a long time and said, "Lord Shoufu is really for the people and the country. I think far away. For the future of Shanxi, I am also willing to do something for Lord Shoufu. However, as Lord Shoufu said, the merchants in Shanxi are generally connected to the land, and the products in the land are what we sell. If the business gentry and the fields are separated, everyone will cut off the money-making business, which is a big problem.

Hu Chuyuan said, "There are different business models in different periods. If this business is broken, you have to think about new business. After all, the interests of the local rich gentry are not as important as that of the whole Shanxi Province, and the interests of the whole country. What's more, their interests are far less important than those of the people in Shanxi. If there is another great famine in Shanxi, I will uncompulsively acquire all the fields in Shanxi and redistribute them again under the leadership of the political axe. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. I don't want to see it in Shanxi again.

Qiao Zhiyong nodded silently and became more silent.

He knew that what Hu Chuyuan was going to do was a good thing, but it was really difficult to do. Fortunately, Hu Chuyuan wanted to do it. If it were someone else, no one could explain the situation.

After drinking this cup of tea, Qiao Zhiyong also got up and went to discuss countermeasures with other Jin merchants.

When he left, Hu Jiyuan said to Hu Chuyuan, "Brother, I think this matter is a little mysterious."

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "These people are all easy to say. They will not be able to pass the political axe for a little money. The problem is that there must be a petition below, and there are many people who oppose it through the power of officials. However, these are not important. Shanxi's agricultural reform is imperative. Whoever gets in the way will take it.

Immediately, he and Yang Shiqian ordered: "You should popularize the new policy in place. Before they find a way to solve it internally, you can directly let the magistrates and counties in various places investigate and handle the matter on a full-time basis. First, let CITIC, CITIC Bank and China Merchants Bank obtain the field mortgage right, mainly through CITIC."

Yang Shishan nodded slightly and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, the officials are ready, and all the governments have said hello in advance. Even if it is forced, this matter will be done."

Hu Chuyuan hummed, and then continued to order Hu Yuyuan: "CITIC also needs to pay attention to moderation, effectively set the price according to the level of the field, organize personnel, fully intervene in Shanxi agriculture, and carry out a large-scale joint venture system. Support local small farmers and organize them to operate together. I'll give you a special preferential treatment. CITIC in Shanxi can first raise funds to open small and medium-sized mines on a pilot basis.

Hu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "That's a bigger good thing."

Hu Chuyuan also smiled and said, "This is a matter of time, but it's just a pilot in Shanxi. How is the preparation of CITIC News Agency?

Hu Zhenyuan said, "CITIC has been operating in Shanxi for seven or eight years, and its achievements have always been good. The problem is that the local rich gentry control the land too strictly, and there are small-scale agricultural cooperatives in various places. However, the operating status of these agricultural cooperatives is not as good as ours. This time, I'm going to work against the Shanxi Agricultural Credit Society. Talent and capital are not problems. I've been ready for a long time. As long as the issue of the mortgage of the land deed is clear, I will immediately open a branch of CITIC Society in all counties and towns, which is higher and lower than that of the Agricultural Credit Society.

Hu Chuyuan was quite satisfied.

The business mode of CITIC is very unique. Each province has a separate financial system. The head office is located in Shanghai, but it only has a certain shareholding in the branches.

Basically, the lowest branch unit of CITIC Society is the branch of CITIC Society at the county level. The branch invests in joint ventures in each town, and each town forms a grain cooperative and cooperative.

Generally speaking, when CITIC began to invest, the shares held by CITIC were always very high. Gradually, with the level of field development and the improvement of infrastructure, the capital will gradually be withdrawn. Only about 10 percent of the joint shares will be retained in the grain cooperatives in each town, or even Chengdu. No.

After a few years of development, CITIC will re-raise funds to set up local grain processing factories, rice noodle factories and oil presses on the basis of joint ventures of grain cooperatives in various towns and CITIC as major shares.

The basic logic is that everyone invests, CITIC is responsible for the operation, and the year-end dividends are unified.

There are people in all provinces of the country copying the model of CITIC Society, but the actual operation is completely different. Especially on the issue of running a factory, many businessmen basically borrow money from farmers to run factories, buy raw materials cheaply, and are unwilling to give up their shares to farmers.

Although the Shanxi Agricultural Credit Society founded by Jinshang himself is large, it is actually more backward. It is completely that the landlords and squires themselves compete with CITIC Society and other small grain societies.

In the final analysis, CITIC News Agency is for the Hu family... This is just a tool to make the people of the whole country richer. The place where they really make money is the financial industry and industry, industry and commerce.

This precisely determines that it is difficult for others to fight against CITIC.

Since Hu Chuyuan came to Shanxi, he would not leave easily, and he lived in the government of the governor of Shanxi.

He said that he was here to guide the development of Shanxi heavy industry. Shanxi Fushen was quite excited, but now he knew that in Hu Chuyuan's mind, if he wanted to develop heavy industry, he must first implement the policy of the rich peasant economy in place.

In short, it's a big trouble.

Yang Shiqi's wrists have become extremely tough during this period. First of all, he began to catch it from Taiyuan Prefecture. Within a month, if the original land deed mortgage is not settled... it will be invalid.

This forces the rich and gentry of large and small landlords in Taiyuan Prefecture to "sell" the land to the farmers who originally held the land deed. Otherwise, once they take it back, they will have to pay a heavy tax, which is even less cost-effective.

If farmers can't afford it, they will mortgage the land deed to CITIC, CITIC Bank and China Merchants Bank in exchange for a loan to really "buy" the land.

The curtain of the bankruptcy of the Oshida Law officially opened, and the Zhongnong economy, the rich peasant economy and the large agricultural economy that Hu Chuyuan wanted to establish finally removed the last obstacles.

With this foundation, Hu Chuyuan was in the mood to engage in industry.

His idea is very simple. Asian rich countries have not considered adding new large-scale groups. They are mainly invested in Shanxi by the four major groups of rich country, Great Wall, China Steel Union and MCC to establish Shenhua Company in the form of Jinshang fund-raising to develop local coal mines, iron mines and power plants.

Hyundai, Jiangnan and Shanghai Yinghua Electric Company can also intervene in Shanxi development according to their own investment plans and needs.

What the political axe needs to do is to guide policies, limit the scale of investment, and keep the economy on the track of steady development. At the same time, it will support modern education on a larger scale in Shanxi to cultivate the talents needed for long-term development in Shanxi.

What is more special here is China Steel Union, that is, China Iron and Steel Joint Production Corporation. It is the largest steel producer in China. Except for Hubei Daye Iron and Steel Company, it does not completely belong to its own reading steel company, including Ma'anshan, Shanghai Baosong, Fuzhou Iron and Steel, Laiwu Iron and Steel Factory... ... are all joint ventures between it and the four major heavy industry groups.

Shanxi Development just provides an excellent opportunity for China Steel Union to find its own territory outside the four major groups.

Hu Chuyuan said that he would not treat the rich country unfairly.

Shanxi's development space is a compensation he provided to Wells Fargo.

For Jinshang, he also left some space for them to raise funds to establish Shenhua Company. Because they do not belong to the rich countries in Asia, the rich countries in Asia will certainly not provide technical support. Therefore, these technical support work can only be undertaken by China Trust and Finance Corporation and the Ministry of Industry.
