Chapter sixty-five
The news that Hua Xiongmao brought back and was turned away did not surprise Chen Ke. After listening to Hua Xiongmao's experience, he patted Hua Xiongmao on the shoulder, "Zhenglan has worked hard. The plan did not emphasize that Hua Xiongmao's group must have face-to-face negotiations with Zhang Youliang. Even more important than the arraignment was the investigation of the waterway. Although Hua Xiongmao also went to Yuezhangji during the flood period, the water level and hydrological conditions at that time changed greatly from now. Hua Xiongmao must go and investigate again.
In response to the frenzied clamor of the reactionary advocates of Youliang, Chen Ke did not want to have any big debate with this landlord. "Zhang Youliang is our enemy, and we must defeat him." At the enlarged meeting of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, Chen Ke began his speech with these words.
The role of social surveys is enormous, and the rural surveys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have opened the eyes of the comrades, and the land issue in China is really complicated, but it is clearly expressed. In a sense, it can be said that there is no property right in Chinese land that is completely and clearly attributed to someone. Unlike the feudal lords of Europe, China does not have land that absolutely belongs to someone in the legal sense. Even if it is a relatively simple land leasing issue, there are many forms, permanent tenants, annual tenants, and the models are very different. Even the people who rented out the land, from the landlords to the poor peasants. If you just look at these patterns and names, you will even have a kaleidoscope feeling. There's a lot of complexity in that, and the owner of a piece of land is likely to have two or three relationships. Rings are set together to form a cannabis group.
But in a simple sense, the backwardness of the development of the productive forces determines the need for a judge to maintain order. However, there is no way for the county magistrate to understand these entanglements in the countryside, and then effectively solve the contradictions and lawsuits caused by these complex problems. Clans and local tycoons rose up to become arbiters of these issues, and then seized real power at the local level.
Chen Ke had no intention of making any reforms, first to get rid of the local tyrants, and then to seize the right to speak at the local level by resolving and coordinating these complex land issues. For a modern person, it would be ridiculous to adopt such a practice.
In Chen Ke's view, in this era, the balance of power between countries lies in the degree of industrialization, and the reason why socialism can be superior to capitalism in terms of system is because both are first built on the operation of capital, and the purpose of socialist operating capital is to promote productive forces, and no matter how capitalism whitewashes itself, its purpose is to enable capitalists to grab more profits. Much simpler, socialism is for the public, capitalism is for the private, this is the innate gap.
In the face of the current crisis of China, an agricultural country, there is only one solution, and that is to let China industrialize as soon as possible. History has long proven that in 1949, when China was still poor and white, it has developed into the world's largest country in terms of gross industrial and agricultural production in just over 60 years, and this fact is enough to prove the superiority of socialism in China. Therefore, from Chen Ke's heart, he does not have much to the landlords, and the production relations represented by the landlords must be destroyed. Even if Zhang Youliang did not declare that he wanted to take action against the insurance group, Chen Ke would have tried to destroy the order that Zhang Youliang had formed in Yue Zhangji. Zhang Youliang's clamor just gave Chen Ke a more favorable excuse.
However, Chen Ke knew that knowing these things did not mean that the comrades also knew these things, and the enlarged meeting in front of him were all relatively old and qualified party members, and they had a deep understanding of Chen Ke and revolutionary theory. But even so, Chen Ke is afraid that there will be no more than four people who can immediately attack the landlords at the first order. A profound mobilization meeting is imperative.
A total of 25 people attended the mobilization meeting. There are 25 members of the Politburo and nine members of the Standing Committee. Chen Ke felt that there was no need to refuse this kind of digital arrangement, which must have been summed up in the experience of long-term work. In addition to the Seventh Standing Committee of the People's Party, the Central Military Commission, the Logistics Commission, and the Discipline Inspection Commission all attended the meeting. Most of the comrades have worked with Chen Ke for a long time and know Chen Ke's habits. Listening to Chen Ke's clean and decisive words, everyone was not confused by such a calm tone. This is a manifestation of Chen Ke's determination. Most of the attendees had never met Zhang Youliang, and many of them had heard of Zhang Youliang's name for the first time. Although I don't know why Chen Ke has to kill this person, no one objects.
Hua Xiongmao and Yu Wenba both introduced the situation, and Chen Ke summarized again, "This fence must be broken." Zhang Youliang has to be eliminated. ”
After listening to the ins and outs, there were some different opinions at the meeting.
"There are only a few people under Zhang Youliang, so he dares to touch the tiger whiskers of our insurance group? I think he's just talking. There's no need to be in such a hurry. "The first to come out and disagree was Lu Huitian.
"That's not right, you have to make an example of this kind of person. This is a catastrophe year, this Zhang Youliang dares to say so, if there is no flood, he is afraid that he will bring someone to the door now. It was Xiong Mingyang who refuted.
"It's not a good thing to make an example, we just arrived in Fengtai County not long ago. If we do this, what will the other local gentry think of us? Lu Huitian did not agree with his classmate Xiong Mingyang's idea.
"It's useless for you to be reasonable with this kind of person, they are better than you. There is no other way but to fight. Xiong Mingyang's attitude is very resolute.
"Just scare him, there's no need to hit him." Someone stood in Lu Huitian's line. But it was Xu Dian, who was born in the law department, "And he will definitely not be able to beat us." I'm just worried about him moving around, but since Brother Wangshan is in charge of this Fengtai County Commander, we are naturally not afraid of him playing any small tricks. ”
"Not necessarily." Qin Wuan objected.
Thus began the debate, and there were clearly three opinions around whether this man was worthy of the BJP's extermination. One is to wait and see what happens, and the other is to resolutely fight. As for the third type, there are comrades who are completely silent, these are all old party members who have been following the Chen Ke incident for a long time, and they watch the new comrades arguing, and from time to time they look at Chen Ke, wanting to see when Chen Ke will come to stop this meaningless dispute.
Chen Ke's comrades who listened to these arguments gradually began to repeat the earliest words, until they had nothing new to say, and then raised their left hand to speak. Seeing this action, the argument stopped in an instant.
"Who do we have to rely on for the revolution of the People's Party?" Chen Ke asked.
"It's the people." He Zudao replied loudly.
After listening to this question and answer, no one expressed a negative voice.
Chen Ke glanced around the comrades, and then continued: "What is our most important work now? Relief! Save people from fire and water. We now have enough food to feed 50,000 people, less than two months. Even if it is a desperate way to bring in food, it will last for three months at most. We can't stand it. Do we have any other way than to rush the seeds and harvest? ”
No one spoke, and the BJP is now desperately raising rice seedlings, bringing in sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as alfalfa, to prepare for large-scale sowing. Comrades from top to bottom know that a large-scale production to save themselves is imperative.
"We have to rush to plant and harvest, what is missing, we are not short of people. What we lack is land. Since you want to save the people, the people of Yue Zhangji are not the people? Aren't the people in Fengtai County the people? Shall we save them? I think that within the scope of our ability, we must save everything we can. Do you have any comments? ”
This attitude can be said to be completely different from the direction of the other comrades' arguments, and many of the young comrades who were blushing and thick-necked before arguing showed shame on their faces. They didn't expect that there was really a huge gap between Chen Ke's starting point and himself.
Xiong Mingyang asked excitedly: "What does Wen Qing mean that in order to get the land, our People's Party must kill Zhang Youliang?" ”
"The land of Yue Zhangji belongs to the people of Yue Zhangji, what do we want the land of the people to do?" Chen Ke asked rhetorically.
"This? Isn't killing Zhang Youliang just to seize the land? Xiong Mingyang didn't understand.
"Now it is Zhang Youliang who controls Yue Zhangji's land, if according to what you said, we kill Zhang Youliang and become our people's party to control the land. Is there any difference between us and that Zhang Youliang? Anyway, Zhang Youliang and the people of Yue Zhangji still have some kinship, we are all outsiders, and the people will not believe us. ”
Hearing this, Xiong Mingyang opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. Chen Ke was not prepared for Xiong Mingyang to answer, he continued to state, "The land of Yue Zhangji belongs to the people of Yue Zhangji. We killed Zhang Youliang, and the land was changed to the people. However, it is now a year of calamity, and the land cannot be divided. Rather, it must be collectively owned and cultivated. It is true that the cultivator has his land, but there is no need for it to be owned by the cultivator. ”
Chen Ke's words are indeed a great truth, Xiong Mingyang couldn't refute it for a while, but there was a problem with how he heard it. Not only Xiong Mingyang, but many others also frowned.
"People must think that this statement is too far off, so I will say something that is easier to operate. Now it is our People's Party that has grain in hand, and it is also our People's Party that has begun to make preparations for rushing seeds. We didn't want the people to do anything else, so they first received seeds and seedlings from us, and began to grab seeds. Don't care what the land is divided into, plant the grain first, and harvest it, then the people will not starve to death this year. I think the people should be able to accept such conditions. What do you think? ”
This statement is clear and clear, and the comrades will naturally not object.
"Then I'll go back to the previous question, you need land to cultivate. We can get food, but we can't get the land. Where did this land come from? Since the landlords refused to hand it over obediently, we had to force them to hand it over. Therefore, Zhang Youliang must be killed. After speaking, Chen Ke asked Hua Xiongmao to take out a map and hang it on the blackboard.
"From the county seat to the west, all the way to the two lakes, it is now a swamp. There was no human population at all, and naturally there was no resistance. But here. Chen Ke pointed to the location between the two lakes, which was marked with a place name, Yue Zhangji.
"This is Yue Zhangji, Zhang Youliang has a fence here, if you don't get rid of him, when we start to resume production in this swamp, Zhang Youliang can harass us at any time. So, I'm going to kill him. ”
The map is crudely drawn, but the main points are clearly marked. The "big swamp" mentioned by Chen Ke is bordered by the Huai River in the south, the county seat in the east, and two large lakes in the west. To the north are plains and hills. This should have been a fertile land in a good year, but now it is a dead land.
"And what about the north?" Xiong Mingyang asked.
"No one in the north has spoken yet, and after we killed Zhang Youliang, those landlords will not dare to speak up. Whoever dares to say anything, let's kill them again. This swamp is almost a hundred miles in circumference. There are always more than 200,000 acres to pick and choose. Not to mention much, even if there are 100,000 people, as long as the rush to plant and harvest can be successful, they can live until next summer's harvest. After saying this, Chen Ke looked at the comrades, and then added: "Who still has an objection?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Lu Huitian hesitated in a small voice and said, "This Zhang Youliang is not guilty of death." ”
Seeing that Lu Huitian was a little trembling, Chen Ke smiled and said, "Sin is not death? Comrade Lu Huitian, how do you know that Zhang Youliang has not done anything that deserves death? ”
Hearing this, Lu Huitian hurriedly said, "I really don't know this. ”
"We won't want Zhang Youliang's life, Zhang Youliang is Yue Zhangji's person, let's let the people of Yue Zhangji decide Zhang Youliang's life and death." Chen Ke still said with a smile. That simple smile was full of confidence, and that kind of pressure made Lu Huitian speechless.
