Vézé originally wanted to settle Chen Yingjiu's fate first, but his idea didn't become a reality in the end. When the political department held a meeting about the political commissar, the governor of Guangdong, Bi Qingshan, came to Vézé and raised the issue of the price of farm tools.
White iron was hard and brittle. It had relatively limited use in other fields, but it was very suitable for making farm tools. Popularizing white iron farm tools was part of the rural supply and marketing cooperative's supporting system, and the recent rural work also involved the issue of conscription. Cantonese people didn't like to be soldiers, and Guangxi, which was close by, had always been a place that produced strong soldiers. The so-called wolf soldiers of Guangxi were very famous. A large number of leaders of the Liberation Army, including Vézé, were heroes from Guangxi. If it didn't involve the problem of time travel, Vézé's "predecessor" was a famous martial artist in Guangxi, and he deserved the evaluation that he was like a wolf and a tiger.
"The key is the political work of the army! Political work! "Vézé had a headache at the mention of this. The problem of the Restoration Society's expansion of recruitment was now more prominent. In Vézé's view, one of the purposes of his conscription in Guangdong was to basically eradicate the big tobacco dealers and confiscate a large amount of land. The land reform could obviously be pushed to a new height. Since the people who were allocated land were included in the system, they undoubtedly had a common interest with the Commander-in-Chief of the Restoration Society.
The basis of the political party was a common economic system, and the state was a tool of class rule, so the class interests represented by the Restoration Society began to become prominent. It was true that the soldiers of Guangxi were brave and good at fighting. But at this time, what the Liberation Army wanted to do was not to create a group of wolf-like soldiers. This stage had already passed. Now, the Liberation Army wanted to ensure that it was "politically reliable and militarily strong." Militarily strong was behind political reliability.
If the recruits in Guangxi joined the Liberation Army in large numbers just to make a living, Vézé really didn't have the confidence to carry out a comprehensive ideological transformation of these people during their service now that there was a shortage of political commissars.
"Commander-in-chief, are you referring to loyalty to the Restoration Society and to you?" Bi Qingshan was puzzled by Vézé's thoughts.
"Let me put it this way, no matter how much money Manchu Qing gives you, you will not betray the Restoration Society." Vézé said to Bi Qingshan.
Bi Qingshan laughed: "What do I need Manchu Qing's money for?"
Vézé was equally frank. "Yes, money is of no use to you. You don't agree with Manchu Qing's system at all, and you don't agree with Manchu Qing's methods at all. Therefore, you will quarrel with me and argue with me. But you will not consider betraying the banner of restoring the Martial Manor. You are far more loyal than those who sought refuge with me for their lives. Because you think that the cause of restoring the military governor's office is also your cause. You obey me because you believe that I can better represent this cause. "
After listening, Bi Qingshan couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. Vézé's words had spoken Bi Qingshan's true feelings.
Vézé continued: "After the Land Distribution Order was implemented, regardless of what these people think, they have boarded our ship. As long as they feel that following us will yield results, they will continue to follow us. At this time, they came out to be soldiers because there are indeed benefits to being a soldier under the system. Secondly, after becoming a soldier, they will be able to have an identity in the system. Many of them have never seen me before, and after meeting me, both sides may not think the same thing. But what I have in common with these people is that I agree with the Land Distribution Order. They have something to look forward to if they follow me. That's why they are politically competent. "
"Commander-in-chief, you never seem to care about whether others are loyal to you or not. That's interesting. "Bi Qingshan laughed.
Vézé knew Bi Qingshan's loyalty, and he personally enjoyed the feeling of leading these heroes with the Way of the King. Therefore, Vézé laughed and said: "What's the use of individuals bowing down to me? It's just forming a clique for personal gain. As long as I represent everyone's interests, then why would everyone betray the cause that I lead? Just like the farming tools this time, the reason why I put in so much effort is that after the people use farming tools, they will be able to farm better and save more effort. They will harvest more grain, and we will collect more public grain. The people will also be able to get more grain and suffer less hunger. This is something that benefits everyone, so what do I have to be afraid of? Even if some people say that this is a benefit. But for this kind of benefit, I will say it openly. Everyone understands the reason, so of course they will support me. If I hide these things, only a small number of people will be able to benefit. If I let those few people benefit, in fact, it is precisely the interests of the majority that are harmed. Is everyone in the world a fool? Can't they see that I am playing this way? "
After hearing this, Bi Qingshan laughed loudly. "Commander-in-chief, if you say that, then it is indeed true. But if you say that, then there will be people who really hate you. By doing this, how many people's livelihood will be cut off? "
Vézé nodded. "Of course I know that there are people who hate me, so I have to strengthen education. What is political education? Political education is to let the same group of people understand these things and know that they should not harm the interests of the majority for their own small benefits. If they can't eat the rice in the pot, then how can they eat the pot? This also needs to rely on the system. Democratic centralism must be built well, and maintained well. "
Ling Ren talked for a while about the issue of the land grant. The land grant was not a one-sided charity. Guangdong's foundation pond agriculture was very developed. Mulberry fields and sugarcane fields were all used to make use of Guangdong's natural environment to create a joint economy. At the same time, it satisfied the needs of food and cash crops. After Vézé came up with the cast iron, the new steam engine had also basically completed the sugarcane sugar production technology. Because of the triple juicer, the machine was driven, and the juicer's iron rod was much better than the traditional process. Vézé was prepared to properly promote it.
Of course, this kind of promotion would undoubtedly encounter strong resistance. The first was the local sugar industry in Guangdong. Their technology was backward, and they did not have the scale effect brought by Vézé's vast sugarcane source. The decline of these people was certain.
"I want you to send someone to do a research and study how industrial production irreversibly destroys the small-scale peasant economy and the livelihood of traditional craftsmen." Vézé said to Bi Qingshan.
When Bi Qingshan heard this, he could not help but ask, "Commander-in-chief, they will only say that we are bullying the weak."
Vézé shook his head with a serious expression. "That's because other competition will cause these people to go bankrupt and lose their jobs. They will also be completely excluded from the new system. Let's not do this. Everyone has a mouth to eat. Although the original owner has become someone else's employee, there will indeed be a gap in their hearts, and they will indeed feel uncomfortable. However, as long as we give them a way out, and give them a chance. They will definitely understand. Besides, after the sugarcane sugar industry is developed in our hands, we will only need more people. We are developing the technology to make alcohol from bagasse. When the time comes, the new industry will be able to accommodate more people. More people will have work to do. "
"Is industry really that powerful?" Bi Qingshan heard Vézé's seriousness, and he was a little excited when he asked the question. Recently, the hottest word in the Commander-in-Chief's Office was "industry." After the Liberation Army and the British war, the upper echelons began to pay special attention to industry. There were really people who talked about industry and steel, and there were even terms such as steam engines and other machinery. If such a group of influential people cared so much, it would be difficult for other departments not to be affected.
"Of course it's powerful." Vézé said affirmatively. In the 21st century, Vézé had a friend who once wanted Vézé to go with him to Guangxi to do the business of anhydrous alcohol. Vézé still remembered reading the information. The anhydrous alcohol test actually had copper content, and he was puzzled. How could there be copper in the wine? Wasn't this metal pollution? After reading the information, Vézé understood that in order to achieve the degree of "anhydrous", copper sulfate was used to dehydrate in industrial production. Copper sulfate was added to alcohol, and copper sulfate crystals were formed after copper sulfate absorbed water to remove the water. Vézé suddenly understood.
This technology could not only be used to dehydrate alcohol, but also had a wide range of applications. Therefore, Vézé had a deep impression of it.
However, at this time, Vézé's thoughts only drifted a little, and then he turned back to the current idea. After the bagasse was fermented to make alcohol, it could start to mass produce blended alcohol. Cheap products would always have the biggest market. With the current consumption power in Guangdong, this kind of blended alcohol would definitely have a market. Even if the market was not very good, Vézé could try to make something like "blended rum" and sell it to the British, and let them sell it in various strongholds in Southeast Asia. Or he could put it in glass bottles and sell it further away …
Vézé shook his head hard, and he found that he was distracted again. He had been in this situation too many times recently. When it came to economic development, even if Vézé did not specialize in economics, there was enough knowledge and experience in the 21st century for him to come up with too many ideas to make money.
As long as there was a base and armed forces, Vézé had the opportunity to turn these technologies into a large amount of money. Vézé suddenly realized that perhaps he was changing the era, but the era was changing Vézé at an even faster speed. In the 21st century, there were too many masters around, so Vézé could still be satisfied with pursuing an intermediate title, and strive to get a senior title, and then rely on his professional knowledge to make a living.
But in this world that could be regarded as blank compared to the 21st century, business with swords was extremely tempting for Vézé. Because Vézé really had no reason not to do so.
Of course, Bi Qingshan did not know that so many thoughts had popped up in Vézé's mind in a very short period of time. He thought that Vézé was worried about how to persuade the army to willingly give up the priority distribution rights of the products produced by the steel plant. Therefore, Bi Qingshan said, "Commander in Chief, I understand what you mean. I will first talk to the comrades in the army during the meeting. If it really doesn't work, then you can come forward."
"The comrades in the army won't accept the idea of making farming tools first?" Vézé did not quite believe it. After all, he had already talked about this with Hu Chenghe, and Hu Chenghe should be able to persuade the General Staff.
