Although the weather radar forecast of Fengchenglun accurately predicts the landing time of the typhoon, the arrival of natural disasters is inevitable.

Typhoon No. 1 in 1631 landed in Qiongshan County the next day. The wind power when the typhoon landed had already declined to level 10, but the accompanying heavy rain caused severe damage to Qiongshan County. Although the Qiongshan County Office issued a warning for the typhoon through the Qiongshan County Government, backward communication means and low administrative efficiency in traditional society made this notice not effective enough.

The Nandu River flooded and there was no population. There were countless livestock and fields. Under the dual effects of typhoons and floods, most of the crops that were originally harvested in summer were lost, and for a moment, the fields were filled with sorrow.

"Flood control and disaster relief are going to be fought again," said Liu Muzhou, deputy civil affairs committee member, in a very troubled manner. He felt that the pressure was too great, and the executive committee issued a high-value grain purchase plan, and the other hand, it was a sudden natural disaster.

The large increase in the non-agricultural population and the influx of large numbers of immigrants have caused a surge in population, which has led to frequent emergencies in the Planning Institute's grain reserves. In order to ensure food security, the Executive Committee also required that the summer grain collection should try its best to "draw potential" as much as possible. After all, importing grain from Vietnam and Siam not only costs money, but also involves increasingly tense transportation capacity.

In contrast, the Hainan Island area that has been controlled must make greater contributions to engine operations. Ma Qianzhu repeatedly emphasized the purchase work at the "1631 Grain Purchase Work Conference": "We must overcome all difficulties, especially the warm tone of the petty bourgeoisie, abandon all meaningless compassion, and take ensuring food supply as the number one task."

Driven by the scientific farming of Qingzhang Tianmu and Tiandihui, the grain output in Linggao area has increased considerably, especially for each farm directly under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Commission. Due to careful care and large amount of fertilizer input, the yield is 50% to 1% higher than that of the "Tiandihui Demonstration Households", which is higher than that of ordinary farmers. The grain can be supplied relatively more. However, the situation in other counties is not very good. The agricultural counties of Hainan Island, Qiongshan, Danzhou, Chengmai and Wenchang, have basically completed the land measurement, which is the area where the People's Committee of Civil Affairs has made efforts to squeeze grain. In particular, Qiongshan County is also the largest grain-producing area on Hainan Island. Now, there is such a typhoon and flood. The grain that can be collected is probably the same as relief grain.

Liu Muzhou knew at the grain work conference that the Executive Committee had great expectations for this "grain grain yielding lotus", but the problem of natural disasters must be solved. He gritted his teeth and asked for Ma Qianzhuo, and proposed his disaster relief plan and disaster relief was an important means to win the hearts of the people. He could not ignore it.

Liu Muzhou's disaster relief plan is in line with the rules: According to the Executive Committee's consistent thinking, relief is carried out to "work-for-relief". Anyway, laborers are needed everywhere in Lingao now, without worrying about not having to work for the victims. After the water recedes, lend the seeds of the victims, rush to plant and replant them.

As for Xia Fu, of course, it can only be reduced and exempted according to the situation of the attendant.

After reading his report, Ma Qianzhuo asked: "Have you participated in the disaster relief work in Linggao two years ago?"

"No." Liu Muzhou didn't know why he asked this question, and thought that he should take out the report at that time and read it before writing the report.

"You'd better take a look first." Ma Qianzhuo said. "There are many useful experiences. Sometimes, disadvantages will become favorable, and losses on one hand will become benefits on the other hand."

Liu Muzhou didn't know how to read this dialectic, so he quickly said goodbye and read the report of that year. After reading a few pages, he suddenly realized:

原来是要搞土地回购啊!

To put it bluntly, land repurchase is to take advantage of the fire and use the desperate situation of the disaster victims to purchase farmers' land at low prices. When Lingao encountered a typhoon disaster, the Committee of Agriculture used this method to accumulate an area of ​​98 of the arable land in the county.

Liu Muzhou couldn't help but think in his heart: The governor is really an iron-blooded industrial party. This clearly means that he wants to catch up with the chariot of industrialization and collectivization. He doesn't even have an excessive stage of land reform.

He asked Wu Nanhai and Ye Yuming to discuss disaster relief matters. Because it involves land repurchase, it has a great relationship with the Agricultural Commission. It is very important to cooperate with them in specific operations.

Ye Yuming's suggestion is not only not to provide relief, but also to collect grain as usual.

"This will force more self-cultivated farmers and landlords to go bankrupt completely." Ye Yuming participated in the work of clearing the land in Qiongshan, Wenchang and other places a few months ago and was very dissatisfied with the local agricultural conditions. In general, the agricultural production environment and conditions in Qiongshan County are much better than those in Linggao, but the yield per unit of acre is limited. It is far from exerting the productivity it deserves.

Wu Nanhai moved his lower body a little uneasy: "Is this not very suitable? Although I also agree with intensive land management, isn't it a bit...... Too... I don't look good at eating?"

Ye Yuming said: "No matter what, Qiongshan is the Xinci District, and it is just right to take this opportunity to clean up all local strata... He said generously, "In the long run, we should regard the elimination of self-cultivated farmers as our ultimate goal."

"Eliminate the little self-cultivated farmers?" Wu Nanhai and others were a little surprised.

"Yes, the ultimate goal is to completely separate the second level in the countryside." Ye Yuming stood up and turned around several circles, "People with ability and skill will evolve into farmers of intensive farms.

If you have no ability, you will be completely transformed into the proletariat as a worker, industrial workers or agricultural workers..."

Self-cultivated farmers, including small and medium-sized landlords with small lands, were the cornerstone of the dynasty's stability in the Middle Ages, and they were the main source of national taxes and soldiers. The army composed of self-cultivated farmers has always been the most combat-effective among the dynasty's army. In the era when there are a large number of self-cultivated farmers, it is often the most prosperous period of the dynasty.

但是小自耕农的经济址．

The position was extremely unstable, and under the dual oppression of taxation and military service, their bankruptcy accelerated. Once the dynasty entered a period of stability and the land began to be merged and concentrated, the number of small self-cultivated farmers would gradually decrease, and the dynasty would enter a period of decline. Until a new unrest led to the reallocation of land.

The Senate's general idea of ​​the policy on rural areas is "land concentration". In the future, it does not require a large number of self-cultivated farmers to travel through the country, but its attitude towards self-cultivated farmers is two major factions: "elimination faction" and "promotion faction".

In general, the voice of the support faction is not loud, and the voice of the elimination faction gradually gained the upper hand because both Wen and Ma have a strong interest in intensive land management and population control. Of course, there are slightly different details. Ma Qianzhuo's agricultural ambition is a complete collective farming, while Wen Desi's rural blueprint is a "standard village" where land and population are completely fixed.

"The self-cultivated farmers still have great value in the newly developed areas and border areas." Liu Muzhou coughed and inserted his speech, "Let's talk about this disaster relief first, and let's talk about the future things in the future."

吴南海说:“我有个方案……”

The streets outside the Qiongshan County are already filled with flood victims who have fled from the four townships. The heavy rain caused by the typhoon has just ended, and the local rainy season has followed one after another. The heavy rain has caused the flooding of the Nandu River and nearby rivers to slow down. Refugees from the four townships have flocked to the city - after the disaster in the countryside, the city is their only hope for survival.

In the past few days, thousands of refugees have flowed out of Qiongshan County. They have helped the elderly and young, hiding in all places where they can hide from the rain: temples, eaves and even under big trees. As long as the terrain is slightly higher, they are crowded with people. However, many people still have to lie in muddy places and let the rain water pour it.

In order to allow the hungry people to riot, most of the city gates in Qiongshan County have been closed, leaving only one east gate that has not been closed. The prefect of Qiongzhou in Qiongshan County and the magistrate of Qiongshan County are at a loss. Since He Town's people evacuated here, the local decision-making is the "dean of the county office" sent by the Australians in the city. As for the prefect, the county magistrate and other officials in the county town, although they are still in name only, they cannot hold anything, but just wait for some official documents to be handled. However, even so, they are very satisfied that at least they are not forced to die in the city. The thieves even continue to give some living expenses to keep them in a relatively decent life. Everyone is thinking that their wife has been in this position and they are so lucky.

The former highest commander of the city, Guangdong left-sponsored political affairs, Zhao Ruyi, did not dare to leave his post without permission since the remnants of the remnants returned to the mainland, but he was unwilling to deal with the Australians. For fear of defaming his official voice, he closed his door to thank the guests in the branch-secure yamen. He did not see anyone except a few gentry and lived a life of self-imprisonment.

The director of the Qiongshan County Office stationed in Qiongshan, the Senate, was not the one who was in the hurdles. Liu Xiang was a fat man, a programmer, so he had strong logical thinking ability and was eloquent. However, these "special skills" were of no use in the early construction tide. He was eager to make a name for himself when he was recruiting local cadres in the Organization Department, and soon he got the title of Director of the Qiongshan County Office.

It is not an enviable thing to be a "county magistrate" in the Daming County in the 17th century. Compared with the Linggao, where living facilities have become a scale, even the Qionshan County is a dirty and messy place. Although Qiongshan County is the first county of the prefecture, it has a large population, many officials and gentry. At that time, there were thousands of defeated soldiers and generals of He Rubin waiting for repatriation. More than 1,000 Tang Yunwen's more than 1,000 people were stationed in Haikousuo, not far from the county. The environment faced by the director of the Qionshan County Office was the most complex among all counties. Therefore, the team equipped with him was also quite powerful, not only with relatively experienced naturalized civilian cadres, but also several veterans assisted his work.
