Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Who would have any objection to his own promotion, not to mention that the governor Wang Zhixiang was originally an empty governor, so everyone agreed.

After Wang Zhenyu saw everyone agreeing with a smile, his face suddenly changed, and he said very solemnly: "The next question is related to the life and death of our National Socialist Party. To be precise, it means that our team can go How far away is a question of what role it is in history."

After hearing this, all the participants immediately focused their attention and turned to Wang Zhenyu who was sitting in the middle.

Wang Zhenyu is not in a hurry: "When I am free, I always like to read books, especially history books. I have always been very interested in a question. What caused the rise and fall of this dynasty? Some of you here Can anyone tell me?"

Everyone is wondering why the handsome suddenly thought of asking this?This issue is justified by the public and the right by the woman, and there has been no result after thousands of years of debate.Almost every dynasty will compile history at the beginning of its founding, and the purpose is nothing more than two: first, you are dead, you are completely dead, the coffin is finalized, and you can’t come back, so don’t expect any restoration; second It is hoped that by summarizing the political gains and losses of the previous dynasty, we can establish a reasonable system, so that our dynasty can enjoy immortal fortune forever, and live as long as heaven.

History has played a big joke with everyone here. Almost all the summarizers cannot escape the fate of being summed up by later generations in the end.

Although Zhou Zhiyun is a businessman, he also grew up reading the books of sages and sages. He has always regarded himself as a Confucian businessman, so he felt that he gave Wang Zhenyu a Confucian standard answer: "The source of troubled times is also the land. All the land is the foundation of the new dynasty. At that time, there was a lot of land without an owner, and the owners divided it equally, and the world was naturally ruled. But as time went by, the rulers were extravagant and desperate, which led to the corruption of officials and the people's mourning. The powerful and powerful bullied the weak, and most of the land was annexed under the name , so the people have no land to cultivate, so there are many refugees, and they can only rise up. How can the world not be chaotic, and how can the dynasty not change? In a word, it is immoral and heartless."

This point of view is an old Confucian point of view. In fact, it is still a sage politics. As long as those in power can make the world a public, fair, just and open, the world will naturally be peaceful.Completely ignoring the problem of population growth, it’s no wonder that Kang Mazi’s words that population growth will never be added can make this group of talented people flatter. You must know that this seriously violates the principles of economics.

Wang Zhenyu found that the people around him seemed to agree with him, so he had to come by himself: "Director Zhou's first sentence is correct. In China, China, dynasties have risen and fallen for thousands of years, and the reason for the change of governance and chaos is indeed the issue of land. On. But it is definitely not as simple as being unkind to the politicians. If only the politicians are benevolent, then the country is too easy to govern. As long as the officials have nothing to do, they can hug the people and cry for a while. This is enough benevolence and righteousness. "

After speaking, everyone laughed, but Wang Zhenyu didn't laugh. He continued: "There is an account that everyone has to settle. For example, you give each male [-] acres of land, and the harvest of these [-] acres of land It allows him to live a happy life after hard work. And he has three sons, and each of them is divided into five acres of land, and they can barely eat and clothe themselves. What about going down? As the population reproduces from generation to generation, this land remains the same , will only become less and less, and no matter how hard the peasants work, they will not be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. At this time, land rent will become a fatal thing, and it will be difficult not to intensify the conflict."

Everyone was silent. This question is a bit heavy, and it makes people feel headache when they think about it.

At this time, Chen Gongbo, the head of the Propaganda Department, stood up and asked, "So, Commander, what should we do about this problem? Do we want to restrict births to avoid population growth?"

Wang Zhenyu suddenly said angrily: "Of course not. What the government does is to serve the people and lead the way for the people. If there is not enough living space, we must find a way to open it up. How can we use the method of castrating our own citizens to shirk the responsibility that originally belonged to the government?" Woolen cloth?"

Chapter 201 Land Reform ([-])

Chen Gongbo didn't know why the commander-in-chief was angry, but he still shrank his neck reflexively, not daring to speak any more.

Instead, Chen Shao stood up unconsciously and said, "But Commander, this land problem has plagued our country for not a year or two, how can we solve it?"

Wang Zhenyu: "There was no way to solve it before. Aren't we doing industry now? I think we have a solution."

Chen Shao was stunned: "What does this industry have to do with this land?"

Wang Zhenyu: "All of you do the math, are industrial products or agricultural products more valuable? Are industrial products more profitable or agricultural products more profitable? Why has our country been unable to get out of the vicious cycle of ups and downs? In order to strengthen the regime’s effective control over the people, the agriculture, industry and commerce industry has been using various measures to tie a large number of people to the land, and it is considered illegal to make a living other than farming and being an official. For example, businessmen are not allowed to be officials. , For example, all people have to be guided in and out, and every person has to have a household registration. The idea of ​​official standard kills people, comrades?"

Chen Shao didn't seem to agree with it: "If there is no household registration system, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Businessmen are treacherous by nature, how can the world be governed by the public, if businessmen can be officials, how can the world not be in chaos?"

As soon as Chen Shao said this, both Zhou Zhiyun and Ye Zuwen's faces became very ugly. These two were serious businessmen before they became officials, and they had been businessmen for generations.Chen Shao's approach is almost equivalent to pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, which is a bit like pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.However, Chen Shao has a bad habit of not paying attention to the surrounding situation when he talks.

Wang Zhenyu saw it, and he quickly interrupted Chen Shao: "It's wrong to say that, Comrade Chen Shao. Why are businessmen cunning? There is no guarantee of political status. When an official is in power, he is a piece of fat that anyone can bite into. If he is not cunning If you don’t get tired of your teeth, can you survive this day? Besides, businessmen are smart and good at housekeeping. Our big China is not allowed to be managed by people who are smart and good at housekeeping. Why should we let a bunch of people who are good at prodigals manage their shit? No. Take a look at Director Zhou and Director Ye. Aren’t they two businessmen who are in charge of local government affairs in Hunan and Guangxi? Take a look at how their family has been doing in the past two years?”

Having said that, I understand that although Chen Shao is a member of Wang Xuemen, he is not stupid or stupid. He immediately realized that there was something wrong with his previous words. Shrinking, then nodded to Wang Zhenyu, sat down as if discouraged.

Wang Zhenyu was also happy in his heart. Chen Shao is a person who is very devoted to any situation. He has always had such a characteristic. It is quite cute to think about it: "I am here to make things happen. I believe that our Comrade Chen Shao treats our Ye Boss, Boss Zhou has no objection."

Now that the commander-in-chief came out to save face, Ye Zuwen and Zhou Zhiyun had no choice but to laugh about it, and the topic continued.

"Since the fundamental issue of the land reform in history has been placed, there are only two roads ahead of us. One is to distribute the land according to the traditional method, and then the people will breed from generation to generation, and the official administration will continue. , Land annexation intensifies, the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no land to stand on. And we estimate that we will be dead by then, and we will be flooded, and our children and grandchildren will find an old tree with a crooked neck just like Emperor Chongzhen. I can hang myself to death. This time I went to Beijing and made a special trip to Jingshan, and the old tree with a crooked neck was still there, looking at us..."

Everyone was sweating profusely from Wang Zhenyu's words, it was too infiltrating, Wang Zhenyu shouldn't be a commander in chief, he should be a storyteller, and the story about ghosts blowing lanterns is the best.

Zhou Zhiyun was silent for a while and said, "Then, what about the second way, Commander?"

Wang Zhenyu smiled slightly: "The second way is a bit tricky. Although there are ready-made examples, it is not easy to do it. Because the concept that the land is the only one is too deep-rooted in our country. In a word, it is difficult!"

Ye Zuwen suddenly became interested, and his own daughter was upbeat, and gave birth to two children for Wang Zhenyu in one go.Although it is now the Republic of China, the constitution of this power is still unclear. Some say it is hereditary and some say it is elected.But Ye Zuwen lived in the Qing Dynasty for 40 years after all. In his opinion, the emperor is gone, but hereditary inheritance is hard to avoid. After all, this old Chinese can see through everything except his own children and grandchildren. Something.Therefore, he reckoned that his son-in-law's legacy would still be passed on to his grandson in the future, so he was very interested in how to avoid the monstrous flood after his death: "Wen Zheng, no matter whether it is difficult or not, you should first speak out and listen. If it’s difficult, let’s discuss it together, there are always more solutions than difficulties, right!”

Zhou Zhiyun also echoed: "Yes, Commander, is it difficult or not, you should speak up first. We big guys help you, no matter how big the problem is, it can always be solved."

Wang Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction and said: "The second way is to change the current rural and agricultural structure. As for what it will look like, you can just look at the United States. Our goal is to finally turn agriculture into an industry and farmers into To become a profession, and then bring a large amount of surplus labor from the countryside to the city, let them become industrial workers, and let them live freely in this land. But this difficulty is obvious. Do you know what the current situation in the countryside is? Why are farmers tied to the land? I entrusted Minister Zeng Qizeng to do a more in-depth investigation, and the conclusion surprised me. In fact, in China, there are three reasons why farmers are tied to the land. The one I mentioned earlier The official position and the Physiocraticism are the first reason; the second reason is the clan power controlled by the feudal clan forces. This thing is very powerful. Don’t underestimate it. Why is the government and gentry co-governing outside the county seat? It is because of this link. The [-] Revolution was such a commotion, the emperor was driven away, but Confucianism and feudal clan power were still operating there as usual. The structure of the whole society was not How much has been changed, but now it has reached the point where it cannot be done without reform. If we do not break up the small-scale peasant economy, and do not lift the shackles of the land on the labor force, we will not be able to develop our modern industry, and we will not be able to unify the country or even become a new power. But After thousands of years of development, feudal clan power and Confucian culture have long been entangled with each other, and we cannot suppress it with a single administrative order. And we must be soberly aware that this feudal clan power and our past administrative The power is different, the foundation of others is based on our Chinese people’s awe of our ancestors, so this thing is not easy to deal with, one is not good, and the common people not only don’t think that you are fighting for their personal freedom and independence of personality , On the contrary, I feel that you are disrespecting his ancestors. This is the same as that religious fanatic, so although we have to carry out land reform now, we must also pay attention to this detail, otherwise I guess it will not only reform To fail, we would also disappear into the long river of history after a lot of civil strife."

After hearing Wang Zhenyu's words, Ye Zuwen, Zhou Zhiyun and everyone present couldn't help frowning.Friends of later generations may not be able to imagine the strength of the feudal family power in this era, and they do not understand the sacred significance of the eldest son of the house to a family.Since Confucianism proposed the system of patriarchal inheritance, this inheritance system has become the only standard for the distribution of family interests. This standard is more sacred and inviolable than Western private property and Muslim Allah.

And these patriarchs also bound the men, women and children around the family as much as possible through the clan power. After all, there are many people and strength, and the fight for land and water among the clans often requires fists rather than laws.But a big disadvantage of this approach came out. The patriarch became the local emperor in this small area. It’s fine to be nice to his own clansmen. .Once the total amount of benefits is insufficient, they will trick these clansmen to fight with other clans to obtain benefits. This is one of the main reasons why there have been endless fighting in vast rural areas for thousands of years.

Now, Wang Zhenyu's land reform is directly aimed at the landlord and the patriarch, but the difference between the two is not big. In many places, the patriarch and the landlord are often the same person, if not the same person, most of them are close relatives.

Moreover, Zhou Zhiyun also has a piece of information in his hand, that is, most of the young officers of the Youth Army, many new members of the National Socialist Party, and many government officials, most of them come from such families.There is no way, the poor who can study in this era are really rare, there are only a handful of them, so mobilizing clan power and land is likely to lead to internal instability, which cannot be ignored.

But fortunately, Wang Zhenyu has thought of all these sufferings: "Everyone, don't panic, don't be afraid, we are not Li Zicheng, we are not Hong Xiuquan, we don't bother to do things like killing people and seizing property, prostitution, wives and daughters. Our reform is a must. Yes, but there are three steps. The first step is to solve the land problem. In the name of the party and the local government, the work team will be sent down to see if there is a good way to replace the land in the hands of the landlords. Planning, redistribution, and spending less if you can; the second step is to do the work of those enlightened landlords and gentlemen who are not too stubborn. The children who work here will take the lead in giving compensation for their political status, and follow up with financial benefits. However, in the future, disputes involving the law must be handled through the judiciary. This principle must be adhered to; the third step is to Those who are stubborn, the truth must be explained clearly, let the local security forces cooperate, pick a few happy ones, decapitate those who should be decapitated, and put those who should be imprisoned. In short, our goal must be achieved, and our goal must be It can be achieved. In the end, I just hope that through this land reform, we can train three to five thousand grassroots workers. If we really want to expand the territory in the future, these people will be the basic strength for us to consolidate the new territory..."

Chapter 202 Land Reform ([-])

"Old Dou, you have to listen to me as a son. This field will be handed over to the work team. Don't they also give you a land bond? If you want to continue to run the farm, you can also file a report and apply for the land. 15 No rent for one year, where can I find such a good thing?” In Yulin, Guangxi, Pan Yucheng, wearing a major’s military uniform, is really persuading his father, Pan Fugui, the largest landowner in Yulin, to accept government bonds for land.

Pan Fugui is in his fifties this year. The Pan family business has been passed down to him for the ninth generation. As the patriarch, what is he bothered about now?The old rules, when you are upset, light a bag of hookah and smoke slowly.

Pan Yucheng is 21 years old this year. He is the youngest of Pan Fugui's three sons, but in Lao Pan's opinion, he is also the most promising one. At least he dares to run away from home and go out to join the army. The big and the strong are easy to separate.Because of good nutrition, although Pan Yucheng is close to 1.8 meters tall, the most obvious feature of Guangxi people is that he is thin and dark, but he also has a lot of them. For this reason, he even got the nickname Zhugan when he was in the military academy.

Pan Yucheng escaped to study in the Guangxi Army Primary School, and later joined the Guangxi Aid Army with Zhao Hengti, and then went to Nanjing to be a beggar for more than a month, and finally became a member of the Tiger Brigade for no reason.

Due to physical problems, Pan Yucheng was not selected for the last coaching team, which is why he is still a major.Later, the first phase of the Xiangxi Military Academy started, and Pan Yucheng was sent to attend a crash course.However, Pan Yucheng has a characteristic, that is, he is very flexible in the execution of tasks during combat, and he will never back down but will not be reckless.Later, he was incorporated into Li Zongren's seventh brigade. During the Changde blockade, the company he led had the fewest casualties and the greatest results, which attracted Li Zongren's attention.In the battle of Guangxi, as the deputy battalion commander of Zhang Xuguang's regiment, when the battle was most intense, he bravely led a company of troops to launch a counter-charge against the Gui army, which was already at the end of its strength, and defeated Mo Rongxin's personal guards on the spot camp.In the end, the fighting will of the Gui army was shaken, leading to the general retreat of the Gui army.

After the war, Pan Yucheng was promoted to battalion commander and stepped into the ranks of school officers. He is currently serving as the commander of the second battalion in the 701 Infantry Regiment.And because of his previous performance, Colonel Zhang Xuguang, who admires Pan Yucheng very much and has been transferred to the chief of staff of the First Division and the head of the 101st Regiment, personally greeted Liu Zhenhuan, the head of the 701st Regiment. The students of the first intermediate class of the Youth Army Army University who are about to start school have an unlimited future.

A few days ago, the National Socialist Party's rural work team in charge of land reform in the Yulin area approached Pan Yucheng and mentioned the issue of Yulin's land reform. To be precise, it was the issue of Pan Yucheng's father, Pan Fugui.

Unlike other places in Guangxi, Yulin's folk customs are very tough, but Pan Fugui, relying on the power of the Pan family, firmly controls almost half of Yulin's land, which is quite amazing.But this also means that the land reform work in Yulin area is more difficult. If you can do the work that leads to prosperity, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it may fall short.

Team leader Sun Qiankun came to Pan's house to report almost every day for half a month. Pan Fugui was so annoyed that he almost asked his servants to drive out the cheeky captain. It can only be closed behind closed doors.From Pan Fugui's point of view, if he could defeat Marshal Lu's army, he, a local tyrant, would not be able to afford it.

Sun Qiankun was one of the first batch of members to join the National Socialist Party. He is 27 years old this year. He used to be a primary school teacher and always hoped to make progress in politics.This land reform is a very difficult task, but Sun Qiankun is still the first to sign up.For such an activist, the organization department naturally wanted to encourage him, and immediately appointed him as the captain of the entire Yulin area work brigade, and was responsible for coordinating the land reform of the entire Yulin county together with the Yulin county government and the special commissioner from the government affairs office of the patrol envoy.

The idea of ​​getting Pan Yucheng to come back to work is the result of our Captain Sun's hard thinking and meditation for several days. It seems to have some effect now. He is sitting in the room watching the Pan family father and son fight.

Pan Fugui took a few puffs of hookah, he did not answer his son's words, but glanced at the gentle Sun Qiankun and said: "Captain Sun, we have become old acquaintances in the past half a month, I really admire you, In order to persuade me, an old man, even my third child was called back by you. But I admire you, but I don’t understand one thing. Why do you want to take away the land in my hand? Pile land bonds that cannot be eaten or used. In addition, I need to allow the clansmen to leave the family and go to work in the city. What is the difference between this and our Pan family and destroying our ancestral hall? Without these men, our Pan family will be someone else sooner or later The fat in the eyes, don't you think?"

"Old man!" Before Sun Qiankun could answer, Pan Yucheng complained and called out to his father.

Pan Fugui raised his hand to signal Pan Yucheng not to speak, his eyes fixed on Sun Qiankun.

Sun Qiankun had been thinking about it for a long time. He chuckled, looked at Pan Fugui and said softly: "Old Mr. Pan, I think you have a big misunderstanding about the policies of our party and government. First of all, I want to tell you that the times have changed. It is no longer the Qing Dynasty. Now it is the Republic of China, which emphasizes the rule of law and upholds fairness. The purpose of our land reform is not to divide the land from local tyrants, but to make land that was originally dependent on the sky For food, agriculture with high risks and low profits has become a large-scale and industrialized new industry. It is the farm I mentioned to you before. As for land bonds, it is not impossible to see or eat. You can use this to invest in the government's upcoming investment become a shareholder and enjoy dividends. This is also the second purpose of the land reform. Our general has already considered it clearly. Once the farm is implemented, a large number of remaining strong laborers will not need to farm, but will enter the city. Work in a factory and become part of the urban population. You also said that the departure of the strong men will endanger the safety of the clan. In the future, private fights will not be allowed in any disputes. All are under the jurisdiction and ruling of the court. You need so many people to fight What do the males do? And even if they enter the city, they are still members of the Pan family, and their ancestors are still in this place, right? Our land reform is not nearly there. We want to break up your family and destroy your ancestral hall... "

"Don't talk about new terms, I don't understand." Pan Fugui was a little anxious, "I just know one thing. If the land is gone, what will my Pan Fugui family eat and drink? Could it be to drink the northwest wind?"

Sun Qiankun still calmly said: "Mr. Pan, firstly, we are not confiscating the land, but purchasing; secondly, the object of acquisition has the right to contract the land free of charge for 15 years according to the standards set by the Government Affairs Bureau, and transfer it at the market price first when the period expires. To the contractor. The land bonds you purchased will be converted into the shares of Guangxi Development Corporation, and the annual dividends will definitely not be less than the land rent you collect.”

Pan Yucheng was also in a hurry: "Old Dou, the outside world is really different. Now that people's machines are turning around, our land output can't catch up with others. If you don't look at anything else, just look at your son and me. , wearing a neat uniform, with a monthly salary of thousands, do you know? In Anjiang, the monthly salary of the most common soldiers and workers is [-] Huayuan. How much rent can you collect for this acre of land? Less than [-]. We can run our own factory, and the income will definitely not be less than the land, and the eldest brother and the second brother can also make a living from it, isn't it better than playing mahjong at home every day?"

"Third brother, I'm so proud, I've become an official and went home to teach Laodou and my brothers a lesson." Hearing the voice, Pan Yucheng's second brother Pan Yu'an and eldest brother Pan Yunian walked in.

The eldest brother, Pan Yunian, is a dull gourd, usually silent, and likes to follow the crowd.It was the second elder brother Pan Yu'an who spoke out just now. Pan Yucheng and him have never gotten along since childhood. Although they are brothers, they are not the same mother.Pan Yucheng was born to Pan Fugui's concubine, while the eldest and second child were born to the principal, and there was also a seven or eight year difference in age.He was bullied by his second brother since he was a child, so although he is not a brother, he has a bad relationship.So he looked at Pan Yu'an coldly and didn't answer those words at all.

Pan Yu'an was immediately ashamed, and with a pale face, he said to Pan Fugui: "Old Dou, don't agree to them. I think the third child is wearing dog skin and has forgotten the ancestors of the Pan family. Otherwise, how could he do this?" Eating inside and out?"

When Pan Yucheng heard this, he immediately became angry: "Pan Yu'an, thanks to you, you're still an older brother. What nonsense are you talking about? You said that I'm eating inside and outside, okay, then you have an idea, look at this land reform. After the land reform, we What about the Pan family?"
