Democracy is of course not good! But Comrade Mao also had a gradual understanding of this. For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japan in another time and space, the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries of Mao and Zhong G did not recognize the various fatal flaws of the democratic system, so they enthusiastically supported and promoted democracy, opposed the dictatorship of the Kuomintang, and opposed Chiang JShi's dictatorship. Now it was only 1936, which was earlier than the War of Resistance Against Japan in history. Most of the leaders of Mao and Zhong G naturally did not recognize the true face of so-called democracy and freedom. Moreover, the failure of the Soviet Union, India and Japan, the three Soviet countries led by Japan, and the success of China, a democratic country governed by China, also gave them this understanding. The Soviet Union, India and Japan, died because of dictatorship, and Zhong G was successful because of democracy.

Therefore, as soon as Mao zd put forward his proposal to implement democratic management in Chinese style, he won the approval of most comrades attending the meeting, but Chang Ruiqing was still hesitant.

He was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "President, the situation here is still different from that of Israel. Now the source of Israel's peasants is mainly Jews in the former territory of Poland and Soviet Union. These Jews are not only of high quality but also have no gap between the rich and the poor. They almost all go to the Middle East empty-handedly without any landlords or rich peasants. In addition, there is no too complicated clan relationship between them, and there is no representative of feudal clan power such as old patriarchs and patriarchs. And we are still a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist country. If the Mosaff-style community agricultural complex with the unity of the regime and economy is implemented, will the Chinese-style Mosaff be mastered by the landlords and patriarchs, and eventually become a tool for exploiting farmers?"

Mao zd smiled and waved his hand: "Prime Minister. You underestimate our Chinese farmers too much," he lit a cigarette and sniffed: "Our farmers are not only hardworking but also smart enough. Especially the new generation of farmers are all reading and literate, and they understand their own rights. The main problem in the past was that the regime was controlled by the cruel officials and gentry. The gentry who could really rampant in the countryside had governments backers behind them. Moreover, government officials throughout the dynasties did not go to the countryside, but actually ruled the villagers by the guards and chiefs. Most of them were gentry with bad character. In the so-called peaceful and prosperous era, they took advantage of the opportunity of tax collection and levy to exploit villagers. When the world was in chaos, they would raise the people to dominate the country. The reason why these people could do evil and misfortune was not the so-called clan power and land, but collusion with the government or the guns in their hands.

In the current Greater China Federation, our regime is established at the township level, and it also distinguishes between affairs officials and government officials. Township leaders and township mayors are government officials, and they need to vote and elect in the area. The county government has no right to appoint and remove them. Therefore, small officials at the township level cannot rely on county officials to take office, but must rely on votes, so they all make decisions for the people. This is very clear to the finance ministers and directors of all provinces and counties."

Chang Ruiqing nodded, and he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Although he didn't know much about the current rural issues, he also knew the difficulty of collecting land tax and Yongxi. Since China began to implement democratic constitutionalism in 1925, government officials and parliamentarians at all levels had to rely on billboard boxes to make a living, so whether the collection indicators of Yongxi for the land tax can be completed. It is no longer a standard for whether the black hats of the grassroots town mayors can be worn - because they are all voted by rural voters, and even if they can't collect a penny of land tax, the superior government has no power to take off their officials. But if they are urging Yongxi forcing the land tax to offend voters too strictly, then the political future of this life will be over.

Therefore, since 1925, the land tax in various places has never been fully charged, and even if it can be collected, it is only enough to maintain the operation of the township-level government and rural primary schools. The finance at the county and provincial levels relies entirely on business taxes, stamp taxes, personal income taxes, property taxes and other small taxes related to commercial activities. Except for a few metropolis, most local governments live a bit tight life. As for the current federal taxes, mainly the unified tax (value-added tax), tariffs, resource taxes, interest taxes, corporate income taxes, consumption taxes (tobacco, alcohol and luxury goods), etc., which are linked to industry and commerce, so the money is not too tight.

However, the increasingly difficult collection of land tax forever also reflects from one aspect the phenomenon of "deception of the superiors and bewitching the inferiors" that is common among grassroots government officials. Of course, the landlords and rich peasants who benefited the most from the "conspicuous" behavior of land tax that is difficult to collect land tax in full, and most of the elected township government officials were from the rich class. Therefore, it can be concluded that while the democratic system of the Greater China Federation gave some benefits to ordinary farmers, it did not really touch the interests of the rural land rich class. What was damaged in this new political game relationship was actually the government's own finance... If China had not gotten rid of its semi-colonial status around 1920 and began to embark on the fast lane of rapid development of the capitalist economy, so that the focus of finance could be shifted from land tax to industrial and commercial taxation, if the implementation of the current democratic system would definitely collapse its finances!

"Prime Minister, I think this Moshaf model can be tried. You can start piloting in the northern border and the Far East first." Zhou Elai solemnly looked at Chang Ruiqing at this time. He had led the work in the northwest and Far East for many years and was very familiar with the rural situation there. "The per capita arable land area in the northern border is about 30 to 40 acres. Typically, the land is vast and sparse, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very small. The residents also come from all over the world. There are no mixed clan forces, and it is very similar to the situation in the State of Israel. As for the situation in the Far East, it is similar, but the per capita arable land area in rural areas is smaller, only about 11 to 2 acres, but it is far more than the mainland. Moreover, in the past two years, the Far East and the tribes have moved to cities in large numbers. Their land is either sublease or abandoned. If transfers can be allowed in advance, it should soon further increase the per capita arable land area of ​​farmers in the Far East and the Republic of China, thus reaching the standard for establishing the Moshaf Farm."

"The Mosaff model can be promoted in the northern Xinjiang and the Far East. You can pilot it first and then promote it in the entire federal government after gaining experience." Chang Ruiqing gently turned the teacup in his hand, thought for a while, and added: "In addition, the Mosaff model can be promoted in the upcoming four provinces of Japan and Java."

Speaking of this, Chang Ruiqing paused and said: "Moshaf is a foreign name. We can call it an agricultural cooperative here. The basic unit to which the agricultural cooperative should be a family farm. The family farms to which each agricultural cooperative belong should be close to each other for management. The per capita arable land area of ​​each family farm should be higher than 20 mu. In principle, there is no upper limit. Large land owners can also be allowed to join. However, the agricultural cooperative will also be the grassroots government. The highest management right of the cooperative belongs to the members' meeting. The members' meeting will be responsible for electing a cooperative management committee, which will handle farming, education, culture, health and the absorption of new members. All cooperative members have the right to participate in the members' meeting and committee elections. Members serve in the congress and committees with their freedom.

In addition, the cooperative committee must have at least two dedicated management committee members, one of whom manages foreign affairs and deals with government agencies, banks and sales departments; the other manages internal affairs and handles the daily work of the cooperative.

Since it also has the function of a grassroots regime, agricultural cooperatives must also bear certain social responsibilities, be responsible for the construction and management of primary schools and health centers, and also need to build some public facilities. In principle, the funds required are shared by all members.

However, the cooperative is not a simple grassroots regime, but has dual attributes. On the one hand, it is a joint organization of peasant members, and on the other hand, it is an independent economic organization. Its characteristics depend on the requirements of farmers in the community. The relationship with members is manifested as the cooperative organization as the representative of members in the market, and the economic interests of members are protected by profit-oriented transactions with interest groups or individuals outside the organization. From the perspective of profit creation, it is no different from enterprises. The difference lies in the distribution of profits. It must distribute market income among members. That is to say, the cooperative organization is non-profitable to internal members (members), while the external goal is to pursue profit maximization."

Chang Ruiqing looked around the people in the conference room and smiled: "Comrades, do you think these big principles are feasible? Do you have anything to add?"

Mao zd's goal has been achieved, and he smiled with satisfaction and said nothing. Chen Duxiu just heard Chang Ruiqing and Mao zd's speech just now, he kept recording key points in his notebook. Now he took over the question and said: "Prime Minister, you and the President have good ideas, and it is possible to implement them. But now there is a question: How much funds and preferential policies are the federal government going to use to promote agricultural cooperatives? Our farmers are the most practical. If there is no visible or tangible benefit, they may not be interested in this agricultural cooperative."
