Beijing Government established after consideration the national border bureau in 1914, it plan reorganizes the national land, because the war is unceasing, soon abolishes, its formulation plan,so becomes a mere scrap of paper. After Yuan Shikai died,it is situated at the area south of Yellow River Henan Province,it is the depth the warlord tangled warfare's serious influence, the population becomes a fugitive massively, the land goes out of cultivation massively. In 1930, the area south of Yellow River war erupts,the main battlefield is located at within the boundaries of Henan, Henan Province suffers the huge disaster once more. After area south of Yellow River war, the Henan provincial government has carried on the comprehensive reorganization,presides over the Henan Province government affairs by Chiang Kai-Shek's direct descendant Liu Zhi, Henan Province enters in political the relative stabilization period, the Nanjing National government formulates each kind of agrarian policy also gradually obtains the execution in Henan Province.

Henan Province carries on the cadastre reorganization and the land submit report these two work,the main goal lies in the land tax increase,by substantial local finance. To the populace was specially the farmer, these two work will only increase their burden, they wait and see, the hatred even directly destroys these two work.
