"If there are errors in the accounts, they can be temporarily suspended for review. As long as they are not intentional, they can be forgiven." Wu De gave instructions to Zhou Botao, "If anyone continues to commit crimes against the wind and continues to engage in this trick, he will be sent directly to the labor camp."
A series of measures were put in place, which not only satisfied the people, but also greatly accelerated the speed of grain collection. Although the improvement measures in grain taxation were not large, they were implemented in detail and benefited the people. The reputation value of Chuan Chuan Group increased.
Many members of the executive committee are also very satisfied with Wu De's work.
But the hardest part is yet to come.
"The work of clearing our father's land will begin soon." Wu De announced at the meeting, "This work is more difficult than all the work in the past."
First, we must deal with the resistance of grain farmers, especially large grain farmers. Second, we must be mentally prepared for the chaotic land ownership system in ancient times.
"...We have the fish scale book, Chen Minggang's private accounts, and the information given by the grain cadres and subordinates, but these are not enough. These account books only give a number. Where is the specific location of these lands? How much is the area?
It's very unclear and there are a lot of errors - we need to check and verify them one by one."
From social surveys and reports from Tiandihui’s rural guidance work, they knew that the landowner’s land was not a connected whole piece of land. Most of it was divided into fragmented small pieces - especially around the county and the Wenlan River.
It is easier said than done to find out in some areas on both sides of the Taiwan Strait where agricultural development was early.
Students were selected from the national school and conducted unified training: how to measure and draw. Xiao Hu from the umbrella shop brought it up from the study class. The lame grain man was so sluggish that he could not stand up. Wu De asked simply
told him:
"Do you want to come out?" Wu De said, "I can't treat you badly! Look at Zhou Qi. There are benefits to following us!"
So Xiao Hu immediately started working for the Cross Travel Group. His first task was to participate in Zhangtian.
"Good job,"
According to the plan, the land management work was divided into three stages. Before the end of 1629, it was the declaration stage. Re-registration was carried out in the name of exchange of deeds. An order was issued: Anyone who fails to register after the expiration date will have the old deed invalidated. The land
Ownership then expires.
The second step is the verification stage, in which the Zhangtian working team goes to the countryside to verify the declaration status of each family, correct the data, and conduct drawing and registration at the same time.
In the final stage, the land deeds were reissued based on the verified situation. Based on this, the new tax system was implemented. The entire clearing work was expected to be completed before May 1630.
Through this unprecedented large-scale land acquisition, Wu De also planned to conduct population and property registration at the same time and identify various residential areas in the county. The remote exploration team continued to discover small villages that were not recorded in the county government during the exploration.
Try to find out the human and material resources of Lingao as much as possible.
In addition to using manpower census methods, Wu De is also preparing to vigorously use technical means-especially aerial remote sensing. No matter where the fields and residential areas are hidden, they are all clearly visible from the air.
Wang Ruixiang brought a large model airplane and a remote-controlled helicopter produced by the United States. These two extremely valuable treasures have been properly placed in the special control equipment warehouse of the Planning Commission. The entire "air force" of the Cross-Travel Group has been
This little possession.
Helicopters are not very useful, and because the consumables are very expensive, Wang Ruixiang did not buy too many spare parts. There are much more spare parts for large model aircraft. This kind of aircraft is large in size and can carry considerable weight of equipment. It can be used as an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
use.
"If I had known earlier, I should have built a Jiaojiao Liulai." Jiang Hongjun saw Wang Ruixiang assembling it and felt regretful. "It's easy to fly and has a solid skin."
"It's too troublesome to buy a real airplane." Wang Rui shook his head repeatedly, "The procedures alone will bore you to death! I think it's a loss for the North American branch that they didn't buy an ultralight airplane. This kind of airplane is not much more difficult to assemble than a model aircraft.
"
"But this one is already very powerful," Wang Ruixiang said. "It's just that the wind in Lingao is relatively strong, and this thing is too sensitive to the wind. If it breaks the main structure, it will be over."
"Actually, you can build an airplane." Jiang Hongjun put forward this idea. "Simple airplanes don't require much advanced technology. Aren't early airplanes just made of bamboo and wood with an engine added? We have a small motorcycle engine, and then process a propeller or something."
It will start to flourish!"
"Zhong Lishi and Wang Luobin are very interested in the aircraft matter. When will we talk to them..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came to urge him: "The measurement team is about to set off, hurry up!"
"It'll be ready soon!"
Wang Ruixiang's aircraft was carefully installed on the fixed frame, which also doubled as the launcher. It was launched into the air using rubber band power. After the fixed frame and the aircraft were combined, they were lifted onto an ox cart. Then the aviation ox cart was on the ground.
Guarded by a team of indigenous soldiers, they went to the countryside to conduct land remote sensing.
Under the command of Wu De, the Qingzhang land was carried out in an orderly manner. In order to seize the time, he adopted the method of registering and conducting a census at the same time. While waiting for the "self-declaration" of the indigenous people, he began to conduct a thorough investigation of the land situation in each district.
First, we need to know how much cultivated land, wasteland and population settlements there are in each area. This work relies on the work team to go to the countryside for on-the-spot investigation, and the second is to clean up the archives. There are a large number of original archives and large books in the county government archives.
The cleanup team sent by the government first cleaned up and registered the land registration files in the county.
There were many names for the nature of cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty, mainly related to the use and source of the land. The system inside was complicated, and even experienced officials may not be able to fully understand it. Wu De decided to ignore it and first clarify the land ownership situation. Clean up
The team quickly figured out the status of "official land" in the county. The results were as expected. The data calculated based on the original data did not match up with the household accounts at all.
"The figure for official land alone is far different from the household accounts. It is less than half."
"These subordinate officials are quite dark."
"It's not entirely a problem of subordinate officials. It's very common for official land to be destroyed over time. Sometimes it's taken over by tenants, sometimes it's taken over by local powerful men. Sometimes it's resold... There are all kinds of things inside.
The problem is not easy to solve," the person responsible for the cleanup reported.
"With these original certificates, we can take back the official land and allocate it all to the Committee of Agriculture!"
"Although the recovery of official land is justifiable, it is difficult to do." Yu Eshui objected, "As time goes by, people who cultivate the land have long regarded it as their own land. Now some people are talking about this with old deeds from hundreds of years ago.
The land is mine, would you be happy to replace it with you?"
"Well, that's true."
"Also, these lands may have changed hands many times over the past hundred years, and we don't have any evidence to prove that the current land owners have illegally occupied them. So we can only accept the fact and don't bother to clean it up anymore -
It’s uneconomical and unpopular.”
"It makes sense, let's start with the current official land management properly." Wu De thought for a moment, "We might as well reissue the land deeds to these lands, so that they can be justified."
Ding Ding was also called to the leading group office. In addition to running newspapers, his main focus has begun to focus on publicity. The local mass cultural and entertainment activities are very poor, which is a good place to use publicity to occupy the public opinion position. "Lingao Times"
》The circulation has exceeded the scope of the Green Zone, and more and more local indigenous people are aware of the importance of this newspaper. In addition to local retail sales and free subscriptions, there are also long-term subscribers-mainly local large households, who are interested in
It is very urgent to grasp the policy direction of Australians.
The Propaganda Department has also recruited all the people in the county who can be called "artists", including monks who can sing Xuanjuan, Taoist priests who can sing Taoism, and drummers in the village who specialize in weddings and weddings. Now they are all registered and trained.
.These people go to the countryside to carry out propaganda activities at any time according to instructions.
However, the biggest gain was that a number of Lingao puppet show artists were found during the social survey, which made Ding Ding find a treasure - Lingao Puppet Show is a famous local drama with Hainan characteristics. In the past, he had always wondered why there was no local drama in Lingao.
The puppet troupe now knows that this kind of performance situation is still in the preliminary stage.
Ding Ding keenly seized this opportunity. Under his "care", the Lingao Puppet Troupe was established - this was the first salaried professional performance group established by the Chuanhua Group. In the past, the artists were farmers, and they could only work in their free time.
When the time comes, I will go to the market to perform and earn a little money. Although it is very popular with the people, I can't perform a few plays all year round. Now I can go all out to perform.
He spent a lot of money on the Lingao Puppet Troupe - building a small theater that accommodated both performances and rehearsals, and building special dormitories for the actors - these puppeteers, but because their homes were small and there were many people, they relied on
Using this ancestral craft to earn a small subsidy is not valued in society. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are suffering from hunger and cold. Now the Australians actually value them so much that they directly recruit them as employees, pay them a monthly salary, provide houses, and even perform.
The puppets and costumes used were all re-purchased, and there were all kinds of novelties from Australia. Everyone was very grateful to Tintin.
In Tintin's view, this is just a minimum investment in capital construction. His ambitions are very big. He is not satisfied with a "Lingao Times". His goal is to become a media tycoon in the future empire. Of course, it is not Murdo.
They are not corrupt capitalist tycoons, but media tycoons who hold political power.
Ding Ding not only bought new performance equipment for the troupe, but also showed them the video of the puppet show in southern Fujian. The actors were amazed that the puppet show could be performed like this.
Sometimes opening a window to people can trigger endless creativity. The level of this performance group quickly improved, and Ding Ding found a scholar for them to be responsible for screenwriting.
