The 519th chapter agricultural reform (1)

"Your Majesty, this is information from the Soviet Union."

Just after returning to Eder in Bucharest, he saw Horiya, the captain of the guard, rushing in with a telegram.

Edel attached great importance to the Soviet Union, a lifelong enemy, so he immediately took over the telegram and read it.

This is the news that the Soviet Union decided to carry out the first five-year plan. At this time, there is no precedent for such detailed planning and construction in the world, but the Soviets saw the precedent. In fact, the industrialization implemented by Edel in Romania has some shadows of this kind of plan. However, Romania does not have the super high execution power of the Soviet Union, and it cannot achieve the strict ability to execute according to the schedule.

Eder can only carry out guided development in Romania, and at most, introduce preferential policies to lure capital to the industry.

The Soviet Union's five-year plan in front of Edel is to deal with the construction of heavy industries related to national strength, such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and large-scale machinery and equipment manufacturing.

And in this five-year plan, Eder also saw the goal of building collective farms. Eder is not unfamiliar with the word collective farm. In his previous life, his family was from a rural area, so he could clearly understand its essence. This is just a quick way to use the scissors difference between workers and peasants to harvest farmers' income and subsidize industrial construction.

And the Soviet Union's agricultural reform was not based on tender feelings, but was based on sucking the blood of peasants. The attitude of the Asian Federation towards farmers can be seen from the machine gun grain collection team. In the future, the farmers of the Soviet Union will suffer.

However, although the way of doing things makes people uncomfortable, it has to be said that the speed of industrial development in the Soviet Union is also very fast. In less than five years, it has transformed its semi-industrial and semi-agricultural country into an industrial country that has begun to take shape. Despite all the problems, this speed of development is unprecedented in history, which is also the scary part of the Soviet model.

Thinking of its terrible development speed, Edel felt a deep pressure. It seems that Romania also needs to make a plan. Certainly not to destroy the development of the Soviet Union, unless Romania has the idea of ​​perishing with it. A large-scale war broke out with the Soviet Union. Edel didn't think about it this way during his civil war, nor did he think about it now. Now that the Soviet Union is developing rapidly, Romania cannot relax. Not to catch up, but not to fall too far.

Edel thought of this, and immediately called Prime Minister Caraturi to discuss Romania's economic development. There is a problem that cannot be delayed.

...

"Your Majesty, do you want to reform agriculture?"

When Caraturi arrived at the palace, he was amazed when he heard Edel's plan.

Can't help Caraturi not marvel,

Because this time Eder intends to deepen Romania's mechanized farming, liberate more labor into the city, and speed up Romania's industrialization.

Of course, Edel did not intend to achieve the mechanized farming model of large farms in the United States. Instead, it was decided to use the road of industrialized agriculture according to local conditions.

In later generations, the industrialized agriculture of the motherland appeared in the news and newspapers from time to time, and Eder believed that it was just a sublimated version of the intensive and meticulous cultivation of the East. If the political dignitaries are changed to industrialization, they will not need so many farmers in the country, and one or two hundred million will be enough.

But in that case, it will be a disaster for the country. Too many farmers entering the city will overwhelm the country's facilities and public welfare agencies. And the influx of too many people into the city will also increase the burden on the city, and there are not enough jobs to provide.

Of course, these problems for the motherland of later generations do not exist at all in Romania. On the land of nearly 500,000 square kilometers, the plain terrain occupies 43%, then the hilly terrain occupies 28%, and the mountainous terrain occupies 29%. The vast plains gave Romania enough arable land, and the current Romanian population has just exceeded 30 million (early 1927 data).

It can be said that the industrialized population in Romania is still not enough, which makes many problems for migrant workers in Romania. Of course every country has nationalism, especially when the national power is rising rapidly, this problem is the most serious (for example, South Korea, Japan). Fortunately, domestic public opinion has been guiding these ethnic sentiments, so that they do not focus on these foreigners who come to work.

This time, stimulated by the Soviet Union's five-year plan, Eder decided to start with Romania's pillar agriculture.

Don't look at Romania's agriculture on weekdays, but the weight of agriculture in Romania is not low. Renowned as the second grain exporter in Europe (and climbed to No. 1 for a while), this title alone speaks to Romania's agricultural roots.

However, although Romania is very famous as a big grain exporting country, Romanian agriculture is still far behind the developed regions of Western Europe. This is under the premise that Edel promotes mechanized farming in China. As for the newly seized territories such as Western Ukraine, livestock farming is still the mainstay, and the nature of Romanian agriculture, which is large but not strong, has not changed.

And now, Eder thinks it's time to change the structure of agricultural production.

So in the face of the Prime Minister's inquiry, Edel answered firmly. "That's right. I plan to upgrade agriculture. There is still a lot of livestock farming in Romania, which restricts too many people to the countryside. Now is the time for great development in industry, and these people can't be involved in the land like this. live."

Although Caraturi has always been involved in industry, it does not mean that he does not know much about agriculture, especially after he became prime minister, he needs to know more or less about the situation of all walks of life in the country. So he couldn't help but say. "Your Majesty, the current agricultural reforms in the old territories are good, but the new territories may be difficult to handle. Especially in the former Russian territories, there are still some Russian serf-like styles there. Although they have joined our country, their The serf culture has faded a lot, but once there is no guarantee that there will be no opposition in the area."

After hearing the Prime Minister's concerns, Edel replied indifferently. "What are they dissatisfied with? Do they still want to go back to Russia? Tsarist Russia has become history, and there is only the red Soviet Union. Do these people dare to go to the Soviet Union?"

You must know that the collectivized farms in the Soviet Union are a big pit that can kill those peasants in the Soviet Union.

Caraturi heard the monarch's determination from Eder's words, which is to sacrifice the landowners of the original Russian territory, but also to upgrade agriculture. Perhaps these beneficiaries will endure temporary pain after seeing the scene of Romanian inland agriculture. Otherwise, what else can these people do? To vote for Russia is still towards independence. No one in the surrounding countries wants to see the Ukrainians have the idea of ​​independence, and then it will be suppressed by several countries.

"Your Majesty, I will go back to discuss with other ministers and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible."

"Go."

Looking at the departing prime minister, Eder wanted to see if these former Russian residents were patriots.
