"The human heart is made of flesh!" Xu Dian said in a rare lyrical tone at the staged debriefing meeting of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang University trials to the central government, "The Chinese people are really easy to be satisfied, and when justice is satisfied, they are really too kind." ”

The BJP did not want to go on a killing spree in the first place, and theoretically those accomplices could be sentenced to death regardless of whether they killed with their own hands or not. As soon as the trial began, the anger of the masses shifted from the perpetrators at the grassroots level to the masterminds of the massacre.

Xu Dian recounted the change in the situation, "For these people, they were originally unable to reach the culprits, those people were so high that not only did the masses never see them, but they didn't even know their names. We kicked these people down from the clouds and made them kneel at the feet of the people to stand trial, and the masses have at this stage reduced their hatred for the perpetrators. ”

"So it's possible that those little minions who don't have blood on their hands won't die?" Qi Huishen, head of the Organization Department, asked.

Xu Dian nodded, "Then it depends on how the central government decides to operate this matter, if we are determined to let these people die together, it is still easy to manipulate the emotions of the masses and sentence them to death." If the central government deems a prison sentence as a punishment sufficient, these people will survive. ”

Lu Huitian laughed, "I don't think so. It's already October, and the land reform in western Zhejiang is about to begin. In the land reform, these people will not have an easy time. ”

Land is the lifeblood of the peasants, and even families who do not have blood feuds with each other can break out into bloodbath in order to fight for the land they desire. Not to mention the fact that there is already a contradiction of blood feud in practice. The Central Committee of the People's Party (CPC) is able to look at problems with an attitude of "one yard for one yard," but the grassroots comrades have to face innumerable troubles in practice. Lu Huitian has extremely rich experience in administrative work, and when he says this, the comrades of the central committee can imagine what will happen.

Lu Huitian continued, "Life has to go on, and no matter how many blood feuds there are, you have to eat." We originally thought that we would move the families of the landlords and gentry, but now we see that these surviving revolutionary people are in the minority. From the point of view of efficiency, we have to think about the relocation of the surviving revolutionary masses and their families. ”

Listening to Lu Huitian's proposal, the comrades of the Central Committee looked a little unhappy. But no one criticized Lu Huitian's route was wrong, because Lu Huitian was telling the truth. The land reforms carried out by the BJP in other areas have been able to unite the majority of the masses. After the tragic class struggle in western Zhejiang, the majority of the people in western Zhejiang were not revolutionary masses. To put it more bluntly, from the perspective of the People's Party, the majority of the masses in western Zhejiang belong to the "guilty". Leaving the revolutionary masses and their bereaved families in western Zhejiang can easily lead to a situation in which the minority oppresses the majority. If it was a regime like the Manchus that deliberately stirred up local contradictions, they would have been happy to do so. The BJP would never have chosen such an approach.

Even with the attitude of seeking truth from facts, the sense of justice in the hearts of the central comrades was still stimulated. No one is comfortable with such a situation.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ke asked Xu Dian: "What do you think of Comrade Li Shouxian?" ”

Xu Dian replied: "Comrade Li Shouxian said that this responsibility is too great, and one sentence can decide the life and death of more than 100,000 people. He can't afford it. Therefore, Comrade Li Shouxian hoped that the central authorities would first make a strategic decision. ”

At this moment, the comrades of the Central Committee fell silent again. Everyone understands that Li Shouxian is right to do this. If the bereaved families of the revolutionaries were to be relocated, the matter would not be so easy to deal with. No one wants to leave their homeland, and everyone has a strong resentment in their hearts after leaving their hometown. A large part of the power to decide the life and death of the accomplices is in the hands of these survivors. If they don't leave their hometowns, the bereaved families are likely to think about continuing to be neighbors with others in the future, and as long as they are satisfied with the compensation, they may be merciful.

But once they leave their homeland, what will these bereaved families have to be polite? At most, everyone will not get along with each other, and it is completely conceivable to ask for the killing of all participants. It's like a purulent wound, no matter how you deal with it, the pus that has formed must come out.

Everyone is very clear about Li Shouxian's administrative work ability, and Li Shouxian must have thought of what the central government can think of. He was right to decisively choose not to take responsibility. The reason why the central authorities have become the central authorities is that the central authorities have to shoulder their responsibilities. Instead of the benefits of the central burden, the disadvantages of the lower resistance.

Policy formulation is never an absolute practice of a certain truth, let alone a search for perfection. It's about balancing long-term and short-term benefits.

There is no reason for the central government to demand that the people who are killed be kinder than the people who are killed.

The central government is also unwilling to ruthlessly sacrifice the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people because of certain emotional things when it can save the lives of accomplices who are so guilty of not deserving death.

As the Central Committee of the People's Party (CPC), which promotes the concept of equality for all, it is even more important to allow a certain region to form a natural threshold of high and low.

It's just that all this is the understanding of the Central Committee of the People's Party, but not the attitude of the masses of the people.

Every member of the Central Committee in the conference room frowned silently, and the experience accumulated in the actual work made their minds roll with speculations about various possibilities, and it was indeed a very difficult thing to choose which interest to choose as the ultimate guiding standard.

Xu Dian also has a wealth of work experience, and he fully understands the distress of the central comrades. And Xu Dian finally understood why he could not become a true core member of the Party Central Committee. It's not just a matter of job characteristics, it's more important that he understands that he lacks sufficient decisiveness. After all, at the beginning, Xu Dian had already stated that he didn't want to kill more. But Xu Dian did not take into account all the other problems he was going to encounter. He merely made the point of view of the judiciary. Even if this idea is the consensus of the central government, in the face of the terrible responsibility to bear, Xu Dian understands that he will definitely not be able to bear it.

"A human head is not a leek, and it can't grow after an interval." Chen Ke put forward his own opinion. At that time, even when the killing intent was at its peak, no one in the central government was willing to take a simple way of killing, not to mention that the current situation was far better than imagined.

The comrades of the Central Committee nodded slightly, and Qi Huishen said: "Then do you want to send comrades to western Zhejiang to assist in the work?" ”

This is very subtle. What is assisted work? It was entirely the central government that sent people to western Zhejiang to take responsibility.

"Should we still believe Comrade Li Shouxian?" Lu Huitian said, "The current situation mainly exists in western Zhejiang. For the whole of Zhejiang, there is no change in our policy. ”

Qi Huishen's attitude is still very firm, "Just because we believe in Comrade Li Shouxian, we must support him even more." If you feel worried, you can send a young comrade to western Zhejiang. ”

"Oh?" The comrades present immediately felt that Qi Huishen, the head of the organization, had his own ideas.

"How young?" Hua Xiongmao asked.

"I'm almost 20 years old." Qi Huishen said calmly, "I graduated from the School of Political Science and Law this year. ”

No one wants to speak up now, and it is not without precedent for the People's Party to become the head of the department at the age of 20, and it can even be said to be the norm, such as He Zudao, who is in charge of military affairs in the Military Commission. There are only a few people in the BJP who are over 30 years old and have not yet taken power. But that was 10 years ago. Now Qi Hui dares to recommend candidates like this, which shows that he is indeed fully confident.

The organization minister is in charge of personnel, and it is still Qi Huishen's purview to recommend candidates. At this time, the comrades felt that Qi Huishen's attitude was too tough, but there was nothing to say about the system. Qi Huishen adheres to the tradition of the People's Party, and has long crossed the level of thinness to thickness in the pursuit of false fame, and has now entered the realm of thick to nothing. He said frankly: "This job requires not only principles, but also handling interpersonal relationships in principled technology." That is what Chairman Chen said about emotional intelligence. The emotional intelligence of many local cadres in Zhejiang may be okay, but there are problems with the principle and the degree of application of the principle. Many of our comrades in the old base areas have a good grasp of the issue of principle, but there is a problem with emotional intelligence. The young comrade I would like to recommend has surpassed the scope of excellence in terms of materialism seeking truth from facts, IQ, life, and the pursuit of progress. What's more, in terms of emotional intelligence, many of us may not be able to catch up with him. Amazing! Amazing! ”

Chen Ke couldn't refute Qi Huishen's request, he smiled: "Don't talk about it, it must be better than me." ”

The members of the Central Committee could not help but laugh. And Qi Huishen didn't smile, he said to Chen Ke seriously: "Anyone in our People's Party can talk about interpersonal relationships, but you can't." You can't have relationships. ”

After saying this, the comrades were stunned, and then the whole hall burst into laughter. Chen Ke also laughed, "Originally, I was worried that I didn't understand interpersonal relationships and would make everyone annoyed. I didn't expect this to be a good thing. ”

After everyone finished laughing, Qi Huishen continued: "Sometimes, when I see extremely good comrades, I can't help but want to hand over more difficult work to them. There is pressure to be motivated, but there must be someone to take responsibility for any job. Since I have done so, I would like to put forward three ideas: First, the recommended comrades must be discussed by the party committee. Second, the sponsor must be held accountable together. Third, the recommended comrades must have a clear scope of use, and the recommender cannot seek care. If you can't do these three things, rigorous recommendation is not a bad thing. ”

This is true, and all the central comrades nodded yes. Hua Xiongmao said with a smile: "This is the work of the Organization Department, and you, Minister Qi, must continue to make progress in the midst of mistakes." ”

Everyone saw that Hua Xiongmao supported Qi Huishen, and Chen Ke did not have the slightest intention of stopping it, so they agreed one after another. The party committee decided that this recommendation must be kept confidential. Moreover, it is suggested that the future recommendation work of the party committee should adopt a confidential archiving system. It will be reviewed by the Political and Legal Committee. Therefore, three days later, a young comrade named Wu Xiangyu went to report to Li Shouxian with the instructions of the Central Committee.

Li Shouxian was very satisfied with the resolution of the Central Committee, which demanded that appropriate measures be taken to "stabilize the mood of the masses in western Zhejiang" when dealing with the issue of western Zhejiang, and that after the trial and land reform were over, the bereaved families of the revolutionary masses moved to the cities to arrange their work. Li Shouxian understands very well that this is the means of combining grace and power. To put it bluntly, it is through the existence of the bereaved families of the revolutionary masses that the people in western Zhejiang feel the pressure, and under pressure they complete the work of adjudication, land reform, and the construction of grassroots organizations. When these tasks are completed, the government will take the initiative to relocate the bereaved families of the revolutionary masses out of western Zhejiang, and restore equality and stability in western Zhejiang.

What surprised and satisfied Li Shouxian even more was that Wu Xiangyu's young comrades quickly understood the thinking of the central authorities, and they did not have the slightest "surprise." This is not something that young people tend to have, young people are prone to making a fuss and see the world completely on their own. However, Wu Xiangyu, a young comrade, has a strange affinity, easily integrates into the organization, and can quickly determine the scope and content of his work.

The People's Party has never been afraid of comrades' failures, but this does not mean that there is a problem with the ideological starting point of allowing comrades to do their work. Doing work is completely doing work, and young comrades like Wu Xiangyu really made Li Shouxian overjoyed. However, the more outstanding comrades are, the more they need to be tempered, and without a large number of failures, without which the workers understand what they "can't do," the political life of an outstanding comrade can easily die halfway. There was no need for the Central Committee to explain at all, and Li Shouxian knew very well how to use these young comrades.

There is a rule in the organizational engineering of the People's Party that qualified cadres must be able to find and train their successors in their work. Treating one's position as one's own inviolable territory was a standard expression of the feudal system. Without anyone, the earth will continue to revolve and the sun will rise. As a member of an organization, it is important to think in terms of a well-run organization.

Seeing the young comrades who had the possibility of taking over his post, Li Shouxian felt very gratified. However, this comrade is so young, and Li Shouxian feels the kind of jealousy and envy that the elderly have for young people.

Since the land reform work in western Zhejiang is about to be launched, the trial work must also be stepped up. Fortunately, the huge manpower and material resources invested in the early stage finally saw results, and the trial of the upper echelons was nearing completion, and the Zhejiang Provincial High Court was responsible for adjudicating those high-level counter-revolutionaries. The local intermediate and local courts were responsible for adjudicating counter-revolutionaries at all levels.

The People's Party spent a lot of manpower and energy to deal with the people who carried out the massacre in western Zhejiang, and after these facts have been investigated, the internal massacres of the ruling class in Zhejiang and even in the three southeastern provinces can be put aside a little. Naturally, none of the top echelons of the counter-revolutionaries were spared, and the reason why they were not killed now was that some problems had not yet been finally clarified. The middle-level counter-revolutionaries are also dead, and the reason why they are not dead now is that there are still some problems that need to be fully clarified by the specific executors below. The local courts began a comprehensive trial of the specific executors throughout western Zhejiang. Naturally, the leaders among them have no chance of getting away with their crimes. Most of the convictions for accomplices and vassals were only sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

In terms of the fixed-term prison sentence, Li Shouxian raised a practical question to Xu Dian. "How to prevent the masses from forming the concept of labor as a punishment in practice!"
