Brilliant Sword: Fighting against the Xixi System One Hundred Thousand Japanese Army

Chapter 314 Dividing the land, or reducing rent and interest

When Lu Feng heard Li Qingshan's words, he didn't even look at the silver coins in the box, and waved his hand to signal Li Qingshan to close it.

Seeing this scene, the head of the security team said excitedly, "I, I can go out."

Lu Feng waved his hand: "Wait a while, don't worry, I want to let you out just a word."

"If I don't let you go out, it's useless to shout out my throat."

After a while, the soldier who dug the gold bars also carried a small box and said, "Commander, the things are back."

Speaking of which, the soldier opened the box: "Commander, the gold bars have been inspected and are genuine."

Hearing what the soldier said, the county magistrate had a smile on his face, and said quickly: "Sir, sir, I can go."

Lu Feng looked contemptuously at the head of the security team and the county magistrate, and smiled slightly: "It seems that your lives are not worth much?"

"Just relying on this money is like buying your own life."

Lu Feng's tone became gloomy: "Since that's the case, now I've decided to let one of you out between the two of you."

"Whoever you bid is higher, I will let him out."

Said that Lu Feng also picked up the tool for pulling out nails: "The remaining person will become a prop for experimenting with these toys!"

Lu Feng's gloomy tone made the head of the security team and the county magistrate subconsciously think that Lu Feng would definitely keep that person and test these things.

After all, most of the warlords in the old days were like this.

Under Lu Feng's threat, the head of the security regiment and the county magistrate revealed a lot of things.

It also includes the group of traitors who died in the restaurant, and part of the property was also excavated.

These properties, which were buried underground before the devils came, have been brought to light again.

Among them, there are no less than 10,000+ oceans, which really surprised Lufeng.

The wealth of these landlords and traitors is so rich, it is amazing.

Gold bars and small goldfish are piled up on a table.

Apart from finances, Lu Feng also learned through interrogation that there are quite a few traitors in the city.

They have connections with the devils or the puppet army, and they often sell tobacco cream to the people to earn high profits.

These traitors were immediately arrested that night.

They also explained a lot of places where money was hidden.

The Huayun Hall was also raided and closed down, and those who sold and smoked tobacco paste were temporarily arrested.

Seeing that the county magistrate and the head of the security regiment had nothing to say, Lu Feng returned to the headquarters.

At this time, large boxes filled with silver dollars were piled up outside the headquarters.

It's just that there is no plan for how to use the money.

Before Lu Feng went in, he heard Li Yunlong's cursing voice: "Damn it, I've never seen a box of money in my whole life."

"It's good for these landlords. There are dozens of boxes and hundreds of boxes of silver dollars."

"Even those guys who sell tobacco cream can take out a string of silver dollars."

"These people, why keep them, I think they'll just be shot."

"Some people in Lao Zhao don't need to talk about discipline at all. Why talk about discipline?"

Zhao Gang said in a stern tone, "Old Li, you can't punish these people according to your own preferences!"

"Then sooner or later, something will happen!"

"You have to remember that the teammates of the revolution must be disciplined."

"Strengthen discipline, and the revolution will be invincible!"

Lu Feng stepped into the house, and saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang fighting with swords.

Lu Feng interrupted the quarrel between the two: "What are you arguing about?"

Li Yunlong preemptively said, "Lao Lu, the landlords we arrested this time are completely different from those before."

"They not only oppress the people, they also have collusion with devils."

"There is nothing to say about this kind of person, he will be shot directly, and there is no need for a trial."

Zhao Gang sternly retorted: "Li Yunlong! This is an organized army! It's not your army alone!."

"We are the regular army! Not bandits!"

"This matter must abide by the discipline of the organization!"

Mineko Ying Chuan, who was wrapped in Lu Fengjun's overcoat, sat in the corner and watched the two quarrel and shivered.

Lu Feng waved his hand: "There's no need to argue about this matter."

"The trial of these traitors is the job of the Ministry of Political Affairs. Lao Li, you are the military commander. Don't exceed your authority to interfere with this matter."

Li Yunlong wanted to say something, but Lu Feng quickly interrupted, "You don't need to worry about this matter, these people are traitors, and most of them will definitely be shot."

"It's just that there are some things that need to be explained clearly before they are shot. They must be allowed to live for two more days."

Hearing Lu Feng's words, Li Yunlong cursed secretly and remained silent.

Lu Feng looked at Zhao Gang: "Did you encounter any difficulties when capturing these traitors and landlords?"

Zhao Gang shook his head, smiled helplessly and said, "It's not difficult, but I did have a lot of novel experiences."

"When we confiscated the property of the county magistrate's family, the county magistrate's wife asked if they would hand over all their property, could the county magistrate continue to be the county magistrate."

"If not, tell her who the new magistrate is."

"There are also some landlords who have concubines."

"Those little concubines saw the smoke paste found by the soldiers and wanted to confiscate it and take it away."

"Everyone was so excited as if someone else had killed her, holding on to the soldier so tightly that she wouldn't let her take it away."

Lu Feng nodded, this was within his expectation: "What about the common people?"

Zhao Gang sighed: "It's very poor. Most of the land has been confiscated by the landlords to grow tobacco ointment."

"The artisan, heavily exploited, is taxed a silver dollar a month."

"Many craftsmen don't earn a silver dollar a month."

"Most of them are struggling on the line of life and death."

"They said that as long as they can get ten catties of grain and kill 1000 people, it's worth it."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang said: "By the way, we confiscated dozens of granary grains from the homes of major landlords."

"We have now arranged for the soldiers to cook and gathered the people for dinner."

"We still have a thorny issue in the future, whether to reduce rent and interest rates, or to hunt down local tyrants and divide the land."

Lu Feng supported the table and said, "I am more inclined to reduce rent and interest."

"Judging from our consistent experience, the time to divide the fields is not ripe now."

"There are mainly the following problems, which have not been resolved."

"First, we don't have enough animal power and farm tools."

"Even if the land is distributed to farmers, they are not able to cultivate it, so they can't dig the land by hand."

"We don't even have enough hoes yet."

"Second, our foundation in the Northeast is still lacking, and the propaganda and mobilization of farmers is insufficient."

"Peasants have a vague understanding of our policies and are easily deceived by landlords and local tyrants and evil gentry."

"It has a rebellious sentiment on us, but it will have a bad impact on Fentian."

"Third, if we forcibly divide the land, we will completely deprive the landlords of their survival foundation."

"Landlords will definitely destroy large-scale production tools such as land, waterwheels, and workshops."

"With our current strength, it is difficult to repair it in a short time."

"Fourth, agricultural production methods must be intensified and scaled."

"We suddenly adapted to individual small-scale production, which was temporarily unable to catch up with the power of the landlord's large-scale production."

"Fifth, landlords are the main lending force in the countryside."

"After the sudden division of fields, the direction of farmers' loans will turn to our Northeast Second Vertical."

"Do we have this much money in circulation?"

"Sixth, the landlord groups in the Northeast have been squeezed even harder by the devils."

"So they hate devils even more. We don't need to drive them to a dead end now, but we can win them over."

"Generally speaking, I support the policy of reducing rent and interest rates, and the local tyrants will be divided into fields. Let's wait for the central government to come down and investigate before making a decision."
