1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

To be honest, for Fujiwara no Kanezane, poverty alleviation work was much "simpler" in some aspects than in that stage in later generations.

Future leaders will have to worry about where the “poverty alleviation cadres” will come from and what the poverty alleviation policies will be. Now there is a ready-made “Osaka caravan”;

The Osaka caravan only needed to "do business" under his orders and make concessions on some commodities that were already mediocre in profit, while the poverty alleviation cadres had a lot to worry about.

People in later generations will have to be careful not to be too rough in their work methods and avoid causing public opinion problems. Now, anyone who disobeys can be directly dealt with in a forceful manner;

Eat my chicken and ducklings?

Fine, fine, this is something His Highness specifically requested. I've given it to you to raise and earn some profit from. It's your honor, and you actually dare to eat it?

My sword is not at all disadvantageous!

Is anyone buzzing?

Sorry, believe me, no one will stand on the side of those lazy people and idiots.

People in later generations still have to worry about sales channels, industrial clusters, product quality, breeding costs, breeding technology, transportation channels, etc. As for now?

As long as you can really raise chickens, ducks or even pigs, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. There are many businessmen who will overcome all difficulties and come to you to buy them.

China is now in an era of absolute material shortage. People are only worried about whether they have the materials or not, not where to sell them if they have them.

Of course, there are difficulties too - such as disease prevention, breeding techniques, feed and medicine, etc. But, there is also Ma and a bunch of humanoids here!

Learn about the pharmaceutical industry, food industry and chemical industry in later generations.

It's time to give the current human race a little shock of dimensionality reduction. After receiving the praise from Fujiwara Kanezane, Takahito seemed very happy:

"Yes! I still have a lot to learn!"

"Come on, Chongren!"

Fujiwara no Kanezane patted Takahito's shoulder to show encouragement:

"If you can do this job well, you are at least worthy of being the Prime Minister of Japan." The Prime Minister of Japan is the same as the Governor of a Chinese province! (laughs)

At this point, Chen Geng, who had been thinking for a long time, gave Ma a shock: "I understand what Your Highness means. If we really want the people to escape poverty, there is only one way: let them participate in labor and make them a true part of the national or regional production chain."

“Humans can only find satisfaction through independent labor and gain dignity through participation in production. Participation in production requires that the products produced flow normally in society;”

"Therefore, poverty alleviation is a systematic endeavor, as it requires the construction of a comprehensive national industrial and agricultural linkage system and an efficient administrative system!"

Damn...

With just a few casual remarks, without even saying any so-called "profound theories," he saw through the essence of "poverty alleviation work"?

Damn it, are all Communist Party members these days fucking monsters?

That’s right, just as Kenji Doihara saw that “the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was actually to replace the military administrative system of Manchukuo”, Fujiwara no Kanezane’s poverty alleviation (business) was certainly not just about poverty alleviation (business).

It is easy to put food in the mouths of the poor, but it is difficult to keep food in their mouths and to make the food better and better.

In other words, it is easy to invest Japanese resources in the Northeast, but it is difficult to truly transform these resources into the Northeast's endogenous driving force and its own strength.

Therefore, through the "poverty alleviation" initiative, the industry and agriculture in the entire Northeast region can be fully mobilized and linked together, and completely integrated to achieve the effect of "1+1>2".

This is Fujiwara no Kanezane's real purpose.

Hmm...it's not surprising that Chen Kang could see this. After all, this is Marxist theory.

Of course, the above is relatively simple. The most difficult part is... "...Your Highness, in this case, you will need a group of senior, middle, and grassroots cadres who are loyal to this theory and can keep up with your thinking to implement your will."

"...Yeah, that's the hardest part."

Fujiwara Kanezane couldn't help but sigh.

Is it because a certain large Eastern country cannot become rich, that it does not have sufficient resources, sufficient population, or sufficient external support?

of course not.

Their biggest problem was that the people's thoughts were completely imprisoned and there was no great man to break the shackles through a revolution, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the potential of talents.

That great man's attempts in China all encountered unimaginable obstacles, distortions, and backlashes. Not to mention that the founding father himself was a rubbish believer in "as long as I lie flat enough, no one will bully me." ↓?

In fact, the situation facing Northeast China now is similar, but because of the continuous development in recent years and China's cultural heritage, it is relatively better.

However, the lack of talent remains the core issue plaguing everything. Chen Geng approached with a sly look on his face:

"Your Highness, if you're worried about talent, I can recommend a few... dozens of them to you."

"... "

Fujiwara no Kanezane glanced at him.

Haha, so you think there aren't enough Communists in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"Okay, then draw up a list for me and bring the people over to me later."

"Yes! Your Highness!"

At this moment, Chongren suddenly blurted out:

"Brother! I'm willing to do this, too! I'm willing to help alleviate poverty, too!"

，,

,,

Fujiwara Kanezane and Chen Geng exchanged a glance. The former smiled, stretched out his hand, and knocked Chongren on the head twice:

"Nonsense, we are just doing business, but we never help the poor."

326 Whoever has the money earns it

As an executive member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second deputy director of the National Highway Bureau, and the nominal commander-in-chief of the newly established "National Highway Guard", as long as Chongren is willing, he himself will travel all over the Northeast to protect the safety of the national highway area;

So, poverty alleviation... no, as for doing business, he has to participate whether he wants to or not.

As long as Chen Kui and I continue to influence him, this young man will sooner or later become a real "Red Prince".

After today's conversation, Fujiwara Kanezane became even more confident. Well, mainly because of his confidence in Chen·Succubus·Male Special Attack Version·Li. "...So, if there's nothing else..."

"Brother, you haven't answered my second question yet. How are you going to deal with the opposition forces in the country?"

"Haha... isn't this easy? Just kill them all, okay?" "Brother, please don't joke around."

Chongren looked serious.

Tsk.

I wish this guy was a girl.

"Okay, okay, now that I've explained it, I'll explain it all at once. There are three ways to do it, and we can do it all at once."

Fujiwara Kanezane raised a finger:

"The first method is the simplest. I'll use my own money and the money of my Fujiwara family to temporarily feed those poisonous insects until the entire Northeast can produce blood and provide blood transfusions."

This method was actually used once before in Japan, where they caused a huge uproar with the "rent and interest reduction" policy.

That not only gave Hirohito a headache, but more importantly, it gave all the nobles in Japan a preconceived impression:

It was quite "normal" for Prince Kaneshin to do such things, and he did so with a certain political purpose;

Since they have a "criminal record" in Japan, it is not surprising that they do similar things in Northeast China.

To this, Soren calmly replied:

"You definitely have the money and the courage to do so, and you did so in the early stages, but this is not a long-term solution."

Is the Fujiwara family rich?

no doubt.

Even if we only count the main family of Fujiwara no Kita, where Fujiwara no Kanezane was from, it is definitely an enormous amount of wealth, enough for their entire family to live a life of luxury and debauchery in ten lifetimes.

If the "Five Regents and Nine Qinghua" and their branches and clans are included, it is not an exaggeration to describe the Fujiwara family as "landlords of half of Japan";

As for whether Fujiwara no Kanezane is willing to spend money?

Haha, now that the private property of Zhang Xueliang and other Northeastern generals and the funds for various industrial activities in the Northeast have been divided up by the Kwantung Army generals, where do you think the funds for the initial implementation of many Northeastern policies came from?

There is no one in this world more generous than Brother Kanezane!

If Takahito knew that someone had sent most of the Kwantung Army generals to meet with Emperor Taisho and had persuaded the wealthy businessmen in Osaka to pay him 100 million yen with just a few words, he might not have thought so.

But in short, this method can cope with the initial difficulties, but it cannot last long, because even Chongren knows that it will take a very long time for Northeast China to restore its blood-forming and blood-transfusion capabilities.

"Yeah, that's right."

Fujiwara no Kanezane remained silent and skipped to the next step without explanation:

"So the second solution, which is what we are doing, is to kill the big dog owners."

"Dog...Dog tycoon?"

"The landlords in Northeast China are very wealthy. Although the land was distributed to the peasants, their wealth and property all fell into my hands..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane was not exaggerating at all.

Because of the fertility of the Northeast, these landlords in the treasure bowl are really quite rich.

Take the legendary Marshal Zhang, the richest man in the Republic of China, for example.

In April 1916, Zhang Zuolin took power in Fengtian. The city government had a foreign debt of 10 million yuan and an annual loss of 2 to 3 million yuan. The farmland was less than 540,000 mu. The finances were on the verge of collapse, and Zhang Zuolin was forced to appoint the capable official Wang Yongjiang.

Through this gentleman's ruthless and crazy reform, by the end of 1920, all foreign debts were paid off, the inventory balance was 1100 million yuan, and the number of acres of farmland increased to nearly 200 million acres!

There is no need to say more.

Marshal Zhang was a man who was good at exploiting the peasants and fooling the central government. By "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure", he easily became the richest man in China.

After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army seized 80,000 bars of gold from Zhang Xueliang's official residence (the Marshal's Mansion) and transported them to Tokyo. Each bar weighed two catties, which was equivalent to 256 million taels (based on the 16-tael system).

You have to understand that this is the amount after the Kwantung Army generals had embezzled a lot of gold. It is impossible to know how many gold bars they actually found.

Otherwise, how did the first group of Japanese who came to the Northeast to do business and the next group of Kwantung Army generals make such a fortune?

Oh, and by the way, Marshal Zhang did as he and his son Zhang Xueliang said, "not to seize the peasants' land." They just caused the people of Northeast China to suffer a small loss by artificially increasing inflation by 70 times.

Anyway, the farmers were forced to sell their land out of poverty, which allowed Marshal Zhang's land to expand to 300 million mu (about 20 yuan) before the "918 Incident". It was not the Zhang family who took it away!

I really don't know what those people who praise the Zhang family father and son for "working hard and loving the people, resisting foreign humiliation, not losing the country's territory, and making the Northeast rich" are talking about.

Marshal Zhang was a man who "knew the rules". He had made a fortune and knew that he had to share some of it with his subordinates. Therefore, the generals of the Kwantung Army were also wealthy people, and they were all smart enough to follow Marshal Zhang's example and hide their assets among the people.

For example, bank deposits are generally not written in their own names;

For example, land is not held in one's own hands, but held on behalf of relatives or children;

For example, industrial and commercial enterprises, grain warehouses, oil mills, pawnshops, military supply companies, gold, manganese, iron and other mineral companies, spinning mills, ships and banks. From the surface, it is difficult to say that they are Marshal Zhang and his men.

Originally, this method was very "clever", hiding the wealth among the "people" to avoid exposure and public outcry, and it also created a good image for Marshal Zhang and others;

In fact, because the Kwantung Army only focused on Zhang Xueliang and other Northeast Army generals, bank vaults and government finances, these assets escaped the first wave of looting by the Japanese Kwantung Army;

As long as Zhang Xueliang could not return, these assets would gradually become the private property of those "nominees" or "rewards" to the Kwantung Army generals.

However, no one expected that the top brass of the Kwantung Army would be arrested at the founding ceremony of Manchukuo, and subsequently involved in an assassination. They were investigated and purged along with the Manchurian Railway and other companies.

No one expected that Fujiwara no Kanezane would also launch a massive purge against the landlords (rich people) who were supposed to be the grassroots ruling force of Japan in Northeast China.

Resist?

Do you want to see what happened to that guy from the Mantetsu Railway?

Do you want to see what happened to the "Northeast National Salvation and Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army"?

Thus, the Kwantung Army and the landlords fell together, and Fujiwara-dono was well-fed. Not counting the land and houses, how much private property and floating wealth that had been casually confiscated in the past few months must have been enormous?

The answer is that it is equivalent to nearly 6000 million yen.

If all this money had been given to the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, the return on investment in 1932 would have easily exceeded 60%;

The god Ebisu might be driven out of the shrine and replaced by "Hachimangu Kanezane-jin".

Of course, it is impossible to divide it this way. "Oh... so you divided the money among..."

"2000 million was given to His Majesty the Emperor, 800 million was given to the officers and soldiers who actually carried out the operation, 2000 million went into the Chamber of Commerce and the government's treasury, and the rest was spent."

His Majesty the Emperor has great confidence in his Highness Fujiwara and has granted him whatever he asks for;

Units such as the 4th Division and the Independent Garrison were even more loyal to him, His Highness Fujiwara;

None of the investors from the Osaka Chamber of Commerce dared to question any of His Majesty Fujiwara's decisions;
