This surnamed Zhu has a rich expression and loves to talk about big truths. It should be a petty bourgeoisie, right? "The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee opened the summary meeting after the preliminary examination of His Majesty Zhu Dan.

"Seeing that he dared to volunteer to blow up our arsenal and served as the principal of the tax police school, I thought this guy was just a die-hard exploiting class lackey and firmly supported the exploiting class line. After being arrested, he was able to keep not begging for mercy or making a sound. I didn't expect this to be blinding. ”

"The fanaticism of the petty bourgeoisie is like a JB, which hardens at every turn! Especially when they feel that they are struggling with the truth, they still look like it. Now he doesn't think he's wrong. I don't think we need to deal with him, the biggest problem with such people is that they can't help being lonely, and if they hang him for a while, he will be honest himself. ”

"What we have sorted out so far is only where more than 20 million catties of grain went, and where did the 20 million catties of grain go? If this surnamed Zhu refuses to cooperate, many things will be really difficult to handle. ”

"The surname Zhu is unwilling to cooperate, and the people are definitely willing to cooperate. Let's ignore the surname Zhu for a while, let's follow the line of the handling personnel on the one hand, and start the investigation from the big landlords. ”

"The land reform has not yet been completed, so where are those big landlords willing to cooperate with us. Either should this matter be put aside first? ”

"If you want to release it first, you have to report it to Director Chai."

After the summing up meeting, the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee reported to Chai Qingguo on the latest situation. Chai Qingguo said with a smile: "This matter can be put aside first, and you should continue to follow the line of handling personnel, but you are ready to continue to investigate this work from the big landlord at any time." ”

Seeing off the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, Chai Qingguo did not continue to work, but leaned back in his chair to rest. Soon after, the guards came in and announced, "Director Chai, Secretary Shang Yuan has arrived." ”

Shang Yuan and Chai Qingguo hadn't seen each other for a while, and the Central Committee held a meeting of all delegates, and Shang Yuan went to Wuhan to attend the plenary meeting. Chai Qingguo was in charge of the march into Henan. In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for more than two months.

After the two shook hands briefly, Shang Yuan, who looked like a servant, said, "Lao Chai, are the troops ready?" ”

"It's ready. You can go at any time. ”

"Then I'll leave now."

Seeing that Shang Yuan was so anxious, Chai Qingguo said with a smile: "We are still going to listen to you convey the spirit of the plenary session of the Party Central Committee. You're going to do something for yourself, aren't you in a hurry? ”

Shang Yuan has always been disinclined to laugh, he frowned and replied: "Has the ideological work of the troops been mobilized?" Don't let people think I'm returning home. ”

Chai Qingguo originally wanted to relieve his emotions by laughing, but seeing that Shang Yuan showed no signs of relaxation, he said half-jokingly: "Secretary Shang, comrades are not so careful, since it is work, they will do it completely as work." No crankiness. You can rest assured of this. ”

Shang Yuan heard what Chai Qingguo meant, and he nodded vigorously, "As long as the comrades don't have other opinions, my own affairs will naturally be handled well." ”

In China in 1912, the vast majority of the people had never seen a neat queue of 1,000 people in their lives, let alone that all of them were cavalry. Except for the scouts who were far ahead, Shang Yuan was at the front of the line. He had been away from home for ten years, and when he left, he was still a newcomer in his early twenties. At that time, Shang Yuan didn't think about participating in the revolution or anything, his thoughts were the same as those of the ancestors of the Shang family, they were all ready to go out to be an official for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to glorify the lintel of the family. Unexpectedly, when he came back, Shang Yuan was already a great hero in overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The speed of change in the world really made Shang Yuan sigh.

The highest official position recorded in the Shang family tree is only the governor, and Shang Yuan's current official position is equivalent to the governor of Huaihai Province, and he is also a member of the Central Committee of the People's Party, which is equivalent to the errand of the former Qing military aircraft. He is already the tallest in the Shang family tree. Moreover, the predecessor who became the governor was only a side branch of the Shang family, and Shang Yuan was the eldest descendant of the Shang family. Today's Shang family patriarch is Shang Yuan's uncle. Now he is escorted back to his hometown by more than a thousand cavalrymen, and this majesty can be written into the Shang family tree.

Shang Yuan's relatives had already been informed that the current famous member of the family was coming back. The People's Party's Air Force has been frequenting Shangjiazhuang since the day before yesterday, and even if the Shang family is well-informed, they have never heard of this unheard of machine that can fly in the sky, but the People's Party messenger who came to deliver the letter told the head of the Shang family that this is the air force that opened the way for Secretary Shang Yuan. Although he was still scared in his heart, Shang Yuan's uncle Shang Yisheng could only believe it.

The Shang family has more than 60,000 acres of land in the government, and in fact, more than a dozen villages around Shangjiazhuang are planted with Shang family's land. The villagers heard that Shang Yuan, a senior official of the People's Party who had recently captured Guide Mansion and controlled the entire Shangqiu area, had returned, and there were many onlookers along the way. Everyone has become a little accustomed to the planes in the air, and the pomp and circumstance of more than 1,000 cavalry made the people lose the courage to say hello.

Shang Yisheng had already brought the main members of the Shang family to greet him. Seeing that the planes in the sky passed by for a shorter and shorter time, Shang Yisheng knew that Shang Yuan was already close. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the team to appear in Shang Yisheng's field of vision.

More than a thousand cavalry marched along the road like a long dragon. Shang Yisheng found a peculiarity, the road in front of Shangjiazhuang was enough for four horses to be parallel. But the cavalrymen went straight to the right side of the road, leaving the left road completely empty. Naturally, no one dared to fight far away at the moment, but the troops of the People's Party showed no sign of deception. As long as they did not deliberately argue with Shang Yuan, the People's Party's march could not disturb the pedestrians on the road.

Looking at such a strict and orderly team, Shang Yisheng was not as excited as others. For example, Shang Yuan's father-in-law, Wu Jiuling, smiled happily and kept saying in the crowd how capable Shang Yuan was.

In the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the cavalry had arrived in front of Shangjiazhuang, and the troops did not stop, but continued to advance behind Shangjiazhuang. The Shang family relatives who came to greet him didn't take it seriously. When Shang Yuan and the others arrived at Zhuangkou, Shang Yisheng found that the People's Party had unknowingly surrounded Shangjiazhuang.

According to reason, Shang Yuan should have dismounted and walked when he saw the elders of his relatives from a distance, but Shang Yuan rode directly in front of everyone. Sitting on the horse and looking at his relatives condescendingly, Shang Yuan did not smile, nor did he mean to dismount. However, he saw that he took a loudspeaker from the guard next to him and shouted to his relatives who were close at hand: "I am ordered by Chairman Chen Ke of the People's Party to supervise the land reform work in the Shangjiazhuang area. As the person in charge, I announce to you that you are now under arrest. ”

The cavalry behind Shang Yuan had already taken off the cavalry spear at this time, and Shang Yuan announced the news of the arrest of the Shang family, and the cavalry raised their cavalry spears in unison, and the muzzle of the black hole was coldly pointed at the large group of people in front of them.

Faced with the current changes, Shang Yisheng's face turned pale, and he sneered, "Wangshan, you are crazy!" ”

Shang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Uncle, of course I'm not crazy. More than a month ago, I asked Chairman Chen of the People's Party to personally solve the land reform problem of our Shang family. There were planes in the sky, and the cavalry surrounded Zhuangzi, and they couldn't run anywhere. Uncle, you just accept your fate. ”

In the blink of an eye, the wedding meeting became an arrest meeting, and the change in the middle was so great that the Shang family felt that it was almost unacceptable. And the comrades of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not expect the Shang family, a large landowner family, to accept it. The purpose of dispatching thousands of cavalry, including the air force, was to carry out a large-scale capture at one time. Some cavalrymen jumped off their horses, twisted the arms of the Shang family relatives behind their backs, and handcuffed them. The main members of the Shang family in the local area are basically in Zhuangkou, and this is a net of them. The men were put on carts that followed the cavalry. No matter how the people of the Shang family scolded, the vicious curse was still far away. As if Shang Yuan hadn't heard, he turned back to the commander of the cavalry regiment leading the team and said, "Take them all back to Defu." ”

For the first time, the commander of the cavalry regiment saw this genuine righteous annihilation of relatives, and was deeply moved by Shang Yuan's revolutionary consciousness. He saluted Shang Yuan seriously on the horse, "Yes! ”

With Shang Yuan personally supervising the formation, the people of the Shang family did not suffer much, and they were not injured. However, more than a dozen soldiers were slightly injured when they captured Shang Jiaqingzhuang. Two days later, all the Shang family members were sent to the newly built concentration camp.

Chai Qingguo saw that Shang Yuan's face was very ugly, and couldn't help but say, "Secretary Shang, do you want to leave the rest of the things to me?" ”

Shang Yuan shook his head, "Lao Chai, I have received your wishes, but I have to do this matter personally." You should hurry up and arrange for the task force to carry out land reform in the Shangjiazhuang area. After saying this, Shang Yuan paused for a moment before saying, "Lao Chai, thank you very much." ”

Chai Qingguo smiled: "Thank you for what I did." If you really want to thank him, then thank Chairman Chen, he has a lot of pressure than me. And this time it's not bad, no one died. If you have to do it yourself, then it will be hard for you. ”

That night, Shang Yisheng was brought into Shang Yuan's office. After the Shang family was sent to the concentration camp, the army brought them food. Some people are afraid that they can't eat because they are afraid, but Shang Yisheng is very open. After eating and drinking, he lay down and slept in the dormitory. Shang Yuan looked quite tired, but Shang Yisheng was in good spirits.

Shang Yuan spoke first: "Uncle, this time I am in charge of the land reform in the area of Shangjiazhuang. This emergency operation has frightened you. ”

Shang Yisheng didn't mean to be angry at all, he just sneered, "Hmph, Wangshan, it's nothing if I'm a little frightened." Since you are here to do this this time, Uncle I still feel in my heart that you have put your family in your heart. If you hadn't set up such a plan, but that Comrade Chai led the troops to our Shangjiazhuang, this Zhuangzi would only be able to make him peaceful. So uncle, I don't blame you for setting such a trap. ”

Shang Yuan was a little surprised, he knew that Uncle Shang Yisheng was an extremely smart and ruthless person. But he didn't expect Shang Yisheng to be so smart. A helpless smile appeared on Shang Yuan's tired face, "Uncle, I followed you more when I was a child, even more than when I followed my father." You're a really smart guy. ”

"I never care if outsiders say I'm smart or not, I have to be able to live in this world first." Shang Yisheng smiled helplessly, "You grew up beside me when you were a child, and I always wanted you to inherit the family business." For the sake of this, your brother is not willing to deal with me anymore. I think you should know this. ”

Of course, Shang Yuan knew that Shang Yisheng's brother was not Shang Yuan's own brother, but Shang Yuan's cousin and Shang Yisheng's biological son Shang Yu. As for the next patriarch, of course, it is Shang Yisheng's long-term inheritance. However, more specifically, which child of the long house inherits the family business, the competition was once extremely fierce. The two most competitive are Shang Yuan and Shang Yu. Shang Yuan didn't want to embarrass his uncle, he knew that it was the best policy to refuse directly. So Shang Yuan concentrated on studying to gain fame. After being admitted to the juren, Shang Yuan asked his family for a sum of money to donate to the official, and left his hometown. Now listening to his uncle mention this matter again, Shang Yuan is also quite emotional in his heart.

Shang Yisheng didn't have any plans to show favor to Shang Yuan, he lowered his face and continued: "Wangshan, I'm just wondering, what kind of future are you going to exchange our Shang family for you?" I've watched you grow up, and I know what kind of person you are, so you don't have to say any nonsense about being forced to be helpless. I really want to know, what kind of wealth can make you so disrespectful. ”

Shang Yuan sighed, "Uncle, I used to be young and ignorant, if you told me at that time that everything you did was just to survive, I wouldn't understand." Now I really get it. Everything I am doing now is really not for any glory and wealth, everything I have done, everything we have done for the People's Party, is just to enable China to live. Other than that, we don't want anything. ”

"Humph!" Shang Yisheng couldn't help but sneer, "Wangshan, when did you learn to say these big words?" There is a high top when the sky falls, and it is not the turn of our Shang family's little shrimp. Our Shang family has more than ten generations, and we have accumulated such an idea of family business for hundreds of years. We haven't expanded since your grandfather's generation. Why? That's enough! We don't want greater glory and wealth, but we just want to be able to pass on these lands to our children and grandchildren in peace and stability. Now there is Yuan Shikai as the president, and you People's Party is also making revolutions. What is the future of China doing with our Shang family? Your father and uncle are both on an errand in Beiyang. I have heard that you have also made great contributions to the People's Party. We pay the taxes that should be paid, how can we not let our Shang family live in peace? ”

"Uncle, I know that you bought the wheat seeds of our People's Party, and I also know that you bought the iron farming tools of our People's Party. Do you think these things are good? Shang Yuan asked.

"It's all good stuff." Shang Yisheng didn't say it directly.

"Our People's Party is not short of food, iron and farm tools, and we have airplanes in the sky and artillery on the ground, so we can hit wherever we want in China at the moment. Because we are a few steps ahead of the other forces in this regard. However, the foreign devils are dozens of steps faster than our People's Party. If 2 million foreign devils enter China now, even if our People's Party goes all out, including me, including Chairman Chen Ke of our People's Party, and everyone goes to the front, I cannot guarantee that we will definitely win. Shang Yuan said seriously.

"You're still alarmist." Shang Yisheng replied with a sneer.

Shang Yuan nodded heavily, "Uncle is right, it is impossible for foreign devils to send 2 million people into China now." But what about ten years from now, twenty years from now? The foreign devils are moving forward step by step, and we will stay here without moving. Now they are dozens of steps ahead of us, and in twenty years they will be ahead of us? Uncle, I grew up with you and learned a lot from you. Although our Shang family has not worked hard to expand the land in the past few decades, I also know a little bit about how much effort you have spent and how much effort you have spent in order to keep the family business. If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and it is not so easy to keep this family business. Twenty years later, foreign devils will enter China, and the unlucky ones will still be rich. Uncle, you said that everything you do is to survive, and I followed the People's Party with all my heart, and I followed the People's Party to understand this. If there is no revolution, if there is no progress, China will definitely perish. As a Chinese, as a member of the People's Party, I have an obligation to serve China. ”

Shang Yisheng did not directly refute Shang Yuan's words in a sarcastic tone this time, after a while, Shang Yisheng suddenly slapped the table and laughed, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly stopped laughing, with a kind of grief and indignation from the heart, Shang Yisheng said: "Wangshan, you have really grown. I really can't fault you for what you taught me. But I want to ask you, when you die in a few decades, what face will you use to meet your grandfather, and what face will you use to meet the ancestors of our Shang family? ”

Shang Yuan's breathing seemed to have stagnated all of a sudden, and even though it had entered early winter, Shang Yuan untied the tight wind and discipline buckle that had been fastened as if he felt heat. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening them, and Shang Yuan's voice carried a deep determination in it, "Uncle, even if that day comes, I will say to my grandfather and the ancestor of the Shang family, I have a clear conscience." ”

A few days after this dispute, Shang Yisheng talked with Shang Yuan again as the patriarch. The conversation was not about land reform, but about the conditions that Chai Qingguo had promised before. Shang Yuan wrote an official letter to Shang Yisheng, the land reform implemented by the People's Party in Shangjiazhuang only involved the redivision of land, and the money and grain of the Shang family were not moved, and the various sales and shops built by the Shang family were not moved. After repeatedly questioning and determining these details, Shang Yisheng and Chai Qingguo, director of the People's Party's "Longhai Railway Eastern Section Management Committee", signed an agreement document on "Shangjiazhuang's Voluntary Implementation of Land Reform". Shang Yisheng, the largest local landlord in Shangqiu, gave in.

For Shang Yisheng's cleverness, Chai Qingguo was very dumbfounded. After the document was signed, Chai Qingguo, of course, immediately accelerated the land reform work in Shangjiazhuang. When Shang Yuan asked, Chai Qingguo said: "Secretary Shang, people say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats and sons will make holes." I thought you were the smartest one in your Shang family, but now I see that there are a lot of smart people in your Shang family. ”

Shang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Lao Chai, are you afraid that my uncle will make trouble behind his back?" ”

Chai Qingguo smiled bitterly: "When I meet such a smart person, can I not be afraid?" ”

Shang Yuan could understand Chai Qingguo's worries, and he said helplessly: "Old Chai, let me ask you something." Have you ever heard what Chairman Chen said about the family? ”

"Chairman Chen wouldn't talk to a rough person like me about such a profound question." Chai Qingguo said with a smile.

Shang Yuan explained: "The so-called family clan, if it is the kind that has been completely corrupted, they will think that the truth that is beneficial to them is the truth of the world. For the families who are not corrupted, they are certainly not willing to give up things like land easily. But they also know that when they can't carry it, they can't carry it hard. But there is one thing they will insist on, and they will certainly not let go of the opportunities that will be provided under the new system. So what to do, who to unite, who to fight. Someone as smart as you must know. ”

Chai Qingguo laughed, "Secretary Shang, not only am I not smart, but I am also very timid." According to what you just said, why do I think I should hit the smart people and leave the rotten ones behind? ”

Shang Yuan was speechless by Chai Qingguo, and he opened his mouth for a long time before saying, "Why do I think I'm not a human being inside and out now?" ”

Chai Qingguo put away his smile, "Secretary Shang, now I can't take care of so much energy, I ask our Huaihai Province to support a group of local cadres to come over, the sooner the better." Let our army build railways, fight wars, and govern places, I can't stand it. ”

Shang Yuan immediately shook his head, "We only want to poach people from the army in the local area now, and you have to poach people from our place in turn." Don't even think about it. ”

"Personnel transfers are borrowed and returned. It's just a paragraph, so why should you? Chai Qingguo made it clear that he would not give up.

Shang Yuan laughed dryly, "First, there are only a few local cadres in Huaihai Province. Second, I strongly oppose anyone in my family holding public office. If someone makes such a request, Lao Chai, you can tell him that Secretary Shang Yuan will never approve this kind of application. ”

Chai Qingguo nodded, "I see." Secretary Shangyuan, take care all the way. ”

Shang Yuan shook hands with Chai Qingguo and said with a smile: "I can get out of the way if I'm useless, it's not bad." The troubles in the future will be left to you to worry about. ”

After sending Shang Yuan away, Chai Qingguo issued an order that all cases of the rural grievance society appealing to the Shang family, as long as they did not involve a murder case, would be temporarily detained and archived, and an investigation and trial would be launched later. Although Shang Yuan has repeatedly made it clear that he should not take special care of his family, the land reform of Guide Mansion has just begun, and if he directly starts with the Shang family's past behavior, it will have some negative impact on the situation that has already made a breakthrough.

But as soon as the order was given, Gu Lu came to the door. "Director Chai, I have a different opinion on the order you gave you."

"Tell me about it." Chai Qingguo asked while pulling a chair for Gu Lu.

Gu Lu sat down calmly, "Just because the Shang family has already succumbed, we can't turn a blind eye to the crimes they committed before." It is just necessary to clean it up quickly. The trial may not be severe, but it must not be unfair. If we do this, we will not be able to mobilize the masses. And if we open up to Shangjia.com, I always feel that Shangjia will not feel at ease in my heart. ”

"I can understand that the masses can't be mobilized, but why can't the Shang family feel at ease?" Chai Qingguo was a little surprised by this statement.

"This time the Shang family behaved very smartly, and in order to survive, they handed over the land. Now the Shang family, as ordinary laborers, they are also members of the masses. Let's let the masses understand what a revolution is and why it is, and we also have to let the Shang family know what a revolution is and why a revolution is needed. If we treat the Shang family differently, the Shang family is afraid that they will not feel at ease, because we don't treat them as our own people. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with their wrongdoings quickly. Even if the Shang family doesn't know now, when we deal with other landlords, we will find out the crimes of the landlords and conduct a public trial. The common people will think, why don't you judge the Shang family? The Shang family themselves will be very worried, why don't they interrogate us? It's like having a pus-filled bag on your body, you have to let this pus come out, and this part of your body will be fine. Gu Lu tried his best to explain, but he felt that his language ability was limited, and his face turned a little red after speaking.

Listening to Gu Lu's words, Chai Qingguo suddenly felt that he understood Shang Yuan's comment on the family family, "For the family families who are not corrupt, they are certainly unwilling to give up things like land easily. But they also know that when they can't carry it, they can't carry it hard. But there is one thing they will insist on, and they will certainly not let go of the opportunities that will be provided under the new system. ”

"These scholars have always hidden their words!" Chai Qingguo couldn't help but scold.

Gu Lu was stunned, "Director Chai, I've only read books for less than a year. ”

"Comrade Gu Lu, I'm not talking about you." Chai Qingguo had already made a decision, "Your suggestion is very good. Comrade Gu Lu, I will revise my order, and we will not let go of any illegal acts. And every time there is a study meeting, the Shang family also has to listen. The people should criticize when they should criticize and struggle when they should struggle. However, after criticizing and fighting, we must also make it clear to everyone that the revolution is going to destroy the old system, and we must investigate to the end what is illegal. But if it's a vindictive thing, he scolded you, you scolded him, and this kind of thing is in the past. Everyone must live a good life and build a better new life through labor. ”

Listening to Chai Qingguo's new order, Gu Lu nodded yes, "I think it's okay." It's okay to fight, but you can't bully people. ”

asked Gu Lu to hurry to work, Chai Qingguo called the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee again, "Comrades, now prepare to restart the case of the disappearance of 20 million catties of grain." You can start with the Shang family, they have close ties with the government in Shangqiu, have a wide range of people, and know a lot. I should be able to get a lot of information. ”
