When Stalin and Bukharin, two Soviet "Maoist" leaders, quietly left Moscow to surrender to the enemy of revisionism, the train that the chairman of the Chinese Revisionist Party, Mr. Mao Zd, president of the Greater China Federation, was traveling across the United States. Because they wanted to inspect American agriculture, they did not fly all the way to Washington on the 7th plane, and took the train to fly on the vast plains of the United States. The industrial strength of the United States is beyond doubt.

On the way to the West Coast, the factory chimneys, wires and oil wells were everywhere, which left a very deep impression on Mao Chen Duxiu, especially Mao ZD. This was his first time to enter a truly developed capitalist country. Although he had visited factories frequently in China before, he had to admit that compared with the United States, China's industrialization can only be considered to be just starting out, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future. Does this mean that China's industrialization in the future also requires more rural labor to enter the city?

However, Mao, Chen Duxiu, Zhou E and Zeng Qi's main mission to visit the United States this time is not to examine American industry. On the contrary, American agriculture is what they are really interested in... It also shocked them. If the gap between China's industry and the United States is one hundred steps, then the gap between China's agriculture and the United States is about ten thousand steps! After all, in today's China, there are already a little sign of industrial modernization, and it is not backward than the United States in terms of production methods and technology. It is just that the scale and R&D strength are not as good as the United States. However, China's agriculture is too many behind the United States. Look at the endless wheat fields outside the train carriage, there are very few villages emitting smoke from cooking fires. There are really few farmers in the United States, and their agricultural production efficiency is by no means comparable to that of Chinese small farmers. Only then can we know how big the gap between agricultural powers and agricultural powers is!

In addition to a few of the top figures of China GCD, there are also many agricultural experts. Now, there are also Ambassador Gu Weijun, some American overseas Chinese representatives, and several American fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural machinery companies. They all come to sell products to Chinese government delegations. Almost every time they pass through a large and medium-sized city, Mao Zhoue and others will briefly visit local farms and farmers to see and hear, of course, what they hear is the first thing that refreshes them.

Well, it should be said that American farmers have rich houses with spacious and tidy villas. In China, only super landlords and big capitalists can own cars. Most farmers own at least one car at home! When Mao Zd learned that the United States produced 5.5 million various cars in 1935, he was shocked. This number was more than 10 times higher than China's total car production in 1935! In the United States, cars are just ordinary daily necessities.

In addition, the production method of American agriculture has also opened his eyes with all members of the Chinese delegation. The large-scale use of agricultural machinery, corporate production organization and sales methods have blurred the differences between American agriculture and industry. The United States seems to have no farmers in the traditional sense. Only the bosses who run agricultural companies, each agricultural supermarket is actually a small or medium-sized agricultural company! What Mao zd and others did not expect was that the land in rural America is still concentrated! The representative of the US Department of Agriculture told Mao zd that in the past 10

During the year, hundreds of thousands of private farms in the United States went bankrupt, and the size of the farms that survived became even larger. This is not the thing that surprised Mao ZD the most. What surprised him the most was that the United States actually had a law aimed at reducing agricultural output. According to this law, the US government would provide subsidies to farmers who lower output, with the goal of reducing US agricultural output by about 30% to achieve the market supply and demand balance. However, some people have sued the US Supreme Court for this law that is obviously "destroying productivity" and is expected to make some adjustments soon...

Under the night, the train rumbled eastward. In the double-layer train carriage, it was quiet, and there was only a slight shaking feeling. Mao Zd, who liked to work at night, opened his seat and buried his head in front of the desk lamp. He also read the thick pile of materials on his desk from time to time and had completely devoted himself to his work. Later, the first draft that had a huge impact on China's second land reform was written on the train crossing the American plains. I don't know how long it took. When Mao Zd put down the brush in his hand and raised his head, he saw Zhou Elai looking at him with a smile: "President, are you writing an inspection report? As soon as this masterpiece comes out, it will surely become the guiding document for our second land reform, right?"

Their best partners in history are not particularly close in this time and space. In fact, Zhou Elai's success in the party and Chinese politics is due to Chang Ruiqing. He replaced Mao Zd as the Northwest military and political affairs with the support of Chang Ruiqing. In fact, the two of them had a little celebration, but on this second land reform issue, Zhou Elai had the same opinion as Mao Zd.

Mao zd rubbed his wrists, pushed the draft on the table to Zhou E, and smiled and said, "Xiangyu, since you can't sleep, let's study it together. Now the agriculture of China and the United States still has certain similarities. China's farmland area after the war was the largest in the world, the United States was the second most, and there were conditions for large-scale agriculture in Central Asia and Siberia. It is easy to imitate the experience of the United States. Now my most important thing is not that no one farms, but that the large-scale agriculture in Central Asia and Siberia will have a huge impact on small-scale agriculture in the mainland... This is the case in the United States now. Large farms are often well-managed and constantly expanding their scale, while small farms go bankrupt one after another, and farmers enter cities and become proletariat."

Zhou E Lai smiled and said, "This is urbanization. It seems that the truth is on the right side this time... American-style mechanized large agriculture has obviously higher efficiency than small farmers' production. This efficiency is reflected in lower costs and more competitive products. If we do large agriculture in Central Asia and Siberia, then the agricultural products produced there will inevitably have stronger competitiveness. It is inevitable to defeat small agriculture in the mainland. In fact, I had a little clue when I was in the northwest. Although the agriculture in foreign countries is not large agriculture, it still has a more scale advantage over the southern and northern Xinjiang. Therefore, the grain market in southern and northern Xinjiang is full of wheat in foreign countries. If the Lanjiang Railway had not been opened, the grain in foreign countries would have probably suppressed the grain prices in Gansu and Shaanxi!"

Mao zd thought quietly and nodded slowly: "How much land is outside the border? It's just tens of millions of acres. At least 1.5 billion acres can be reclaimed in Central Asia and Siberia! And there are almost the same number of pastures... If they were organized according to American agriculture, it would not take many years to set off a wave of farmers' bankruptcy in the mainland... The competitiveness of this factory-based large agriculture is incomparable to small agriculture in the mainland. It's like the competition between factories and handicraft workshops. It's not the same level at all. I think if we haven't seized the vast land of Siberia in Central Asia, we might be able to use agricultural mutual aid groups or collectivization to help mainland farmers get rich, but the land in Central Asia and Siberia was given to workers.

The possibility of large-scale factory agriculture emerging in China. As long as this more efficient and advanced production method appears on a large scale, the backward small-scale peasant economy will inevitably collapse in a very short period of time... Neither mutual aid group nor collectivization can resist unless we can avoid the land in Central Asia and Siberia being concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or legal persons, and prevent more advanced factory agriculture from appearing in China. But isn’t this just like Roosevelt’s one, hindering the development of productivity? And without big capital entering, it is probably not easy for the land in Central Asia and Siberia to be developed and utilized? Back then, we had racked our brains to mobilize immigrants to foreign countries. Now we want to let more people go to Siberia, a farther away, and I’m afraid…”

Mao Zd talked there, and listened to what he said, obviously he had accepted most of the views of Chang Ruiqing's second land reform. Since the trip to the United States has proved that a small amount of agricultural labor and mechanization can greatly improve the efficiency of agricultural production and defeat the smaller agricultural supermarkets in the competition, which owns a large area of ​​abandoned land in the Greater China Federation, what reason does not adopt this advanced production method? How can China GCD, as a representative of advanced productivity, oppose it?
