Then there is the suppression of landlords.

Because the current land rent is for collecting grain, once the price of grain is suppressed, the landlord's grain sales will be hit hard at that time, and their income will drop sharply.

If the landlords are still considered to be physically strong, then the general owner farmers are the most hit by the drop in grain prices.And it will have a chain reaction, affecting other people in the countryside.

There will be a lot of bankrupt people.

This is an alternative "sheep cannibalism" movement.Wang Yongjiang wants to use the government's control power to make bankrupt farmers move to the cities.

"Will it affect agriculture? After all, our country is an agricultural country, and agriculture is the top priority. Don't see a major reduction in agricultural production."

Low grain hurts farmers.

If grain prices are artificially suppressed, will it affect China's agriculture?After all, the current Chinese agriculture is at best self-sufficient.In the past few years, China's food production has been good, but at most it has been able to feed people.

Not much to spare.

At present, the grain reserves in the hands of the Agricultural Bureau cannot be said to be a lot, and they are all just in case.If it hurts agriculture and affects food production, I don't know what will happen.

"Will not."

Wang Yongjiang shook his head and said: "At present, most of the rural areas in China are still small-scale farmers, and they have little dependence on the outside world. The fluctuation of food prices has little impact on them. The real impact is that some wealthy rural areas, Some rural areas that are close to cities. These rural areas have been affected by the external economy. Once food prices fluctuate, there will be the most bankrupt farmers. They are the easiest to come to the city to work as workers."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

Although this is the most typical scissors difference, it will greatly suppress the development of the countryside.But Duan Xun has no other way, this is the fastest and most rapid way of industrialization.

Accumulate funds.

The scissors of industry and agriculture are poor.

As more arable land is reclaimed, more funds will be brought in in this regard.Only when China's industrial strength far exceeds that of agriculture can this situation change slowly.

Before that, the suppression of food prices is expected to continue.

"What about the third step?"

"The government arranges a channel, a channel from the countryside to the factory."

"What kind of channel."

"It's the same as recruiting troops. Every year, a group of special troops is recruited from the countryside to participate in infrastructure construction. This includes building railways, roads, and houses. Recruiting people in the name of the government."

"kindness."

In fact, it is a name.

Recruiting people in the name of the government, for some rural areas, being able to join the government department is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

But what is the real situation?

It is an alternative kind of worker recruitment.

It sounds good, but it is actually the government recruiting workers.Let them participate in the infrastructure construction that is currently in full swing.And just give them a name, so the salary can be reduced a lot.

Even cheaper than hiring workers.

Save money.

Duan Xun hopes everyone is well and can have a good life.But sometimes you have to make some trade-offs.So he nodded slowly and said, "Yes. You don't need to discuss this matter with the cabinet, you are in charge."

"Yes."

439

"Biao Lao, have there been many people going to the Northeast recently? How is the land reclamation in the Northeast?"

Industry needs to develop.

But Duan Xun can't just focus on industry.

Because Duan Xun was very worried.In the past few years, China's political situation has been stable, there have been no wars, and no large-scale disasters have occurred.As long as it is stable, China's population will inevitably increase.Duan Xun can imagine the growth rate of China's population.

Fifteen years have passed since the first year of Xuantong.

At that time, China's population was already 4 million.No one knows how much the population has increased after all these years.As for China's population, it is only a preliminary estimate, and there is no accurate data.However, Duan Xun believes that according to the current situation, there should be no problem with China's population of 1930 million in [-].

5 million people, more than a quarter of the world's population.

How is it so easy to feed such a large population.Food pressure will become more and more serious.For a big country like China, once there is a food problem, the problems that will happen at that time are absolutely amazing.Food is the foundation, without food, a big country like China will be crushed.Therefore, what Duan Xun can do now is to keep planning and reclaim the previously abandoned cultivated land to increase the area of ​​cultivated land.

This increases food production.

industry and agriculture.

The two directions are not contradictory, but they will affect each other.If industry develops, it will certainly be able to feed back agriculture.But before industry develops, agriculture is bound to be affected.

Because the power of the government is limited.

It is impossible to develop both at the same time.Now that the government has invested a large amount of money into the industrial field, and has to suppress food prices, it will greatly damage agricultural development.It is impossible for Duan Xun not to worry.

In fact, some so-called food shortages are the same as bank runs, and many of them are caused by panic.It's not that there is no food, but that everyone expects that there will be no food in the future. At that time, countless people will hoard food, causing a greater food shortage.Once the people start hoarding food, there will not be enough food for the people at that time.

If the government wants to calm down such a situation, it must have enough supplies.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you don't panic.

Wang Yongjiang and the Ministry of Industry are currently focusing on the economy, mainly the issue of industrial development.However, Duan Xun, as the prime minister of the cabinet, can only support them and must do a good job in logistics for the development of these industries.

Therefore, Duan Xun specifically discussed the Northeast issue with Zhang Lan, the Minister of Agriculture.

"many."

Zhang Lan nodded.

Then he said: "Since the government announced the new land policy in Northeast China, there have been more than 60 applications for reclaiming new cultivated land within six months. More than 40 of them are from the customs. According to the population, the number of cultivated land required to be reclaimed It is 300 million people. Although there will be many people who want to cultivate more arable land, it is not just based on their own population. But according to the current situation, we believe that the population entering the Northeast within this year will have Around 200 million people."

"200 people?"

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Not a lot, but not a lot.

In fact, in history, in the years of 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930, millions of people flooded into the Northeast every year.Now the government has introduced these policies to encourage the people in the pass to enter the Northeast.

It should be normal to have 200 million people.
