Old Man Jiang is an authentic farmer. His family has been digging and eating on the land in Dawangzhuang, Dongfeng County, Henan Province for generations. For Old Man Jiang, as long as he takes care of the ten acres of thin farmland inherited from his family, he has nothing to worry about.
.I think that when he was young, he relied on the harvest of these ten acres of Susukino fields passed down from his ancestors to marry his wife and raise his six boys. This is one of the few things that Old Man Jiang can be proud of in his life.
.
But in recent years, Old Man Jiang has had troubles. The six boys in his family have gradually grown up over the years, and they have reached the age of marrying wives. However, Old Man Jiang found that his ten acres of thin farmland were not enough.
The reason is that some time ago, Old Man Jiang asked someone to tell his eldest son about his family relationship. Originally, the other party's parents nodded when they heard that Old Man Jiang's family had ten acres of Susukino fields, but later they found out that there were actually six boys in Old Man Jiang's family.
That's when I wasn't happy.
According to the actual words of the other party’s family members, “Your ten acres of Susukada seems to be a lot, but what I want to ask is how much will be left after my daughter gets married.
, can he support my daughter and their future children?"
Now Old Man Jiang is in a dilemma. His family does not have a tradition of passing down the inheritance to the elder rather than the younger, and it is impossible for him to give all the land to the elder just to find a wife for him. If this happens, the remaining five boys
In the future, everyone will drink from the northwest wind. Our ancestors said that having more children means you will be blessed, but having too many children can also lead to difficulties. Alas, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, which makes Old Man Jiang turn gray with worry.
Today, Wang Datong, who went to the city to do business in the same village, came back. Wang Datong is one of the few people in the village who knows a few Chinese characters and is an educated person in the village. He told Old Man Jiang that Governor Su of Chahar was in the county recently.
A notice was posted to recruit people to open up wasteland in Chahar, and each person would be allocated twenty acres of wasteland. The government was also responsible for distributing seeds and farming tools. There was no need to pay taxes on the grain produced from wasteland for the first two years, and for the next three years.
Annual grain taxes are halved.
Why is there such a good thing? Old Man Jiang has never encountered such a good thing in most of his life, but Wang Datong said it with all his heart, and there was a big seal of Chahar's political ax on it.
When Old Man Jiang returned home, he told the news to his family, and everyone in the family started shouting. The second child remained silent, while the third and fourth children agreed. Although they had never studied, they understood that it would be their turn to ask for a wife.
By that time, there might not even be any scraps left of those ten acres of thin farmland.
The fifth and sixth children were still young, and they were still clinging to their mother's side to act coquettishly. In the end, Old Man Jiang gritted his teeth and decided that instead of being trapped here and worrying about death, he might as well go to Chahar and have a try, and maybe he could find a better life for his children.
future.
In the end, after several days of discussion, the family decided that the eldest son and the second son would divide the ten acres of Susukino fields equally. The rest of the family followed Old Man Jiang to the local immigration point set up by the Chahar government as instructed on the notice.
Sign up and arrange for them to go to the farm designated by Chahar to open up wasteland.
Such scenes have been staged in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Anhui, Sichuan and other provinces, causing quite a stir across the country.
Chahar is a vast and sparsely populated province, with a population of only 2.11 million in the province's 278,957 square kilometers. In many places, there may not even be a single family in the area for more than ten miles, which is very detrimental to the development of Chahar.
It is unfavorable. Therefore, after discussing with the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, Su Tong decided to immigrate on a large scale from surrounding provinces to change the population structure of Chahar. In the future, whether Chahar is building roads, setting up factories or mining, it will be really difficult
We need people so much.
After more than half a year of hard work, by the beginning of 1936, the Chahar Civil Affairs Department had finally relocated nearly eight million people from surrounding provinces, finally meeting Su Tong's minimum population needs.
Since the outbreak of the great economic crisis from 1929 to 1933, the economies and financial systems of various countries have been severely damaged, and the gold standard has completely collapsed. In March 1933, under the pressure of a large number of bank failures and the outflow of gold,
, the United States announced that it would stop converting gold and prohibit the export of gold. Until 1935, this so-called freest capitalist country in the world had not yet recovered from the financial crisis. A large number of surplus commodities and machinery and equipment were piled in warehouses and factories.
No one cared about it. When the purchasers sent by Su Tong arrived on the west coast of the United States with the large amount of gold mined and refined by Su Tong from the lunar base, the Americans simply regarded them as gods.
Why do you want to buy wheat flour? God, please forgive me. I just dumped a boatload of food into the river last month. I will give you as much as you want. If you still want a machine, no problem. I will contact you right away.
, why do you need a lot of machines? As long as the price is right, I will transfer all the machines to be shipped to the Soviet Union to Chahar. As for the original contract signed with them, who still remembers it? Father and mother are not as close as gold.
Why are you afraid that the Japanese will intercept you at sea? No problem. You just need to pay a suitable shipping fee. Our navy of the United States of America is happy to contribute a small amount to maintaining world peace.
In this way, relying on blood transfusions from the United States, Chahar is now like a huge construction site that roars day and night. So much so that domestic newspapers call Chahar the economic engine of the Republic of China.
Su Tong's words "Go and work in Chahar" became a popular saying in the country.
Dulji is a small county in Chahar close to Mongolia. It was originally a remote place, but in recent months it has become lively because many businessmen are going to Mongolia to purchase wool and mutton.
Buleji became a transit station, and the huge flow of people created the current prosperous scene. Within a few months, there were several more inns here.
Boss Huang is a second-tier dealer who specializes in buying wool, but now second-tier dealers like him are the most popular among herdsmen, and wool that was useless in the past has become a sought-after raw material.
Chahar used the wool to make beautiful and warm scarves, sweaters and other clothing. As soon as these items were launched, they were warmly welcomed by all walks of life in the country, especially young women. They even flew across the sea to the United States.
, UK and other places.
Women's surnames love beauty regardless of national boundaries. Being able to throw away heavy cotton-padded clothes and wear light and fashionable woolen sweaters in winter has become a popular trend for women with surnames this year. Even the economic crisis cannot stop the spread of this trend. This makes
Chief Su, who was hiding at home and cultivating a relationship with his two prospective wives, lamented how accurate the saying that a woman's wardrobe is always missing a piece of clothing.
From August of the 24th year of the Republic of China to March of the 25th year of the Republic of China, a total of more than 11 million people immigrated to Chahar from other provinces, and they were all distributed around Chahar with Lingol League as the center.
This is preparation for future recruitment and expansion of the factory.
After more than half a year of hard work by the Chahar administration headed by Chief Su, Chahar is now a vibrant city, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
The first update today. It was originally updated last night, but the child was too naughty last night and didn't go to bed at 12 o'clock. A Ding had no choice but to do that. I was very annoyed.
