Harsh exploitation due to the plan to increase acidity under the Japanese colonial rule.

 One of the more Yeongrakshikan's things under "cultural politics" is the Japanese government's plan to increase the production of Korean acidity since 1920. According to an announcement by the Japanese Government-General of Korea, the purpose of this plan is to help solve the first to (Japan) food problem, prepare for an increase in Korea's food demand, and third to improve the Korean farm economy and promote the Korean economy. Although it has been said earlier that Korea has become a food supplier for Japan, the amount of Korean rice introduced has suddenly increased since its strength. The rice uproar further fueled the Japanese ruler's urge to steal more Korean rice. At the same time, considering that land loss and the fall of farmers due to the land survey project were the economic causes of the 31st Independence Movement, the government tried to stabilize the life of Korean farmers through food production. First of all, the first plan was to increase the production of about 9 million seats of rice by improving land information by spending a total of 120 million yen for 15 years from 1920. However, this did not go as planned, so it was revised in 1925 and aimed to increase the production of 8.16 million seats to 325 million yen in total over the next 12 years. The Government-General created "Chosun Land Measurement Co., Ltd," a private company with a capital of 5 million yen, as the central institution promoting the plan. This company was a for-profit company created by investing in Oriental Development Company and other Japanese capital. In addition to the implementation of the Land Improvement Corporation, the company has decided not only to sell and manage land, but also to passively receive requests for construction, plan projects that are advantageous to Koreans, and establish a repair association. For this reason, the Sanmi increase plan left huge profits for Japanese capitalists who borrowed geographic funds from Japanese postal savings and Korean taxes, or civil engineering companies who hired Koreans with cheap wages from the Land Improvement Corporation. Meanwhile, Korean landlords and farmers have been collected for more than 20 years for repair union expenses of 5 yen to 10 yen per single step. In addition, the produced rice had to be handed over at a bargain price, and cash expenditures such as fertilizers and agricultural equipment increased, leading to a series of Korean farmers whose lives collapsed. The Japanese official, who was the head of the Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Affairs Department as a tenant of Governor-General Jo Tner, says as follows.   The acid rice production plan brought about a rapid increase in agricultural production, but at the same time, it also succeeded in a rapid increase in landless farmers. Such a huge increase in landless farmers, on the other hand, means the accumulation of land ownership. The repair association project revealed a strong promotion of land and disease. - It was mainly Japanese land companies such as Japanese landowners and Oriental Development Company that collected land in Kuma Kenichi. As a result of the Sanmi increase plan, a huge amount of Korean rice was taken out to Japan. Looking at the two tables on page 153, rice farming in Korea certainly increased in cultivation area, harvest height, and yield per step compared to the time of strength. However, far above the growth rate, Korean rice was taken out to Japan. 487,000 seats were taken out in 1910, while 9,027,000 seats were taken out in 1931, 8,892,000 seats in the following year (1935), when the acidity increase plan was suspended due to an agricultural panic, and the amount was actually 18-19 times higher than that of rice produced in Korea. It can only be said that it was a frightening exploitation. As a result, in Korea, the more rice is produced, the smaller the rice that enters the mouth of Koreans. In 1919, the consumption of rice per Korean for one year was 7, 3, and 4 hops, but in 1933, it dropped sharply to 4, and 1, and 2 hops. So, instead of rice, millet rice from Manchusan Mountain was imported into Korea, but even that millet gradually decreased after the 1930 panic. On December 31, 1926, the Dong-A Ilbo in Korea wrote an editorial titled "There is a person who died of starvation in the field", which was as follows. As reported in this paper the day before yesterday, there were 40 bodies in Gyeonggi-do alone. It is said that 30 of them died in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Gender Equality, and the other died at Taepyeong-ro 2, the center of Gyeongseong. The bodies, of course, are all Korean. (Simply) This winter is still a long way off. With Sohan and Daehan in front of them, 40 bodies several times as many as 40 people will fall on the solid road under the bright lamp and laugh at Korean cultural politics.
