Chapter 62 Seize the Opportunity to Promote New Law and Promote Change
The "Xincun Special Law on Wartime" was quickly promulgated in the nine towns under its jurisdiction, and the main contents of the special law were:
1. All residents in the jurisdiction voluntarily join Daxin Village, and grain and property are voluntarily deposited in the "Xincun Cooperative Credit Cooperative" in Xincun.
2. Livestock, poultry, farm tools and furniture are sold to Xincun at a price, and the proceeds are deposited into Xincun Cooperative Credit Cooperative.
3. The withdrawal of money and food needs to be reported one day in advance.
4. All poor households, tenants, and serfs in the jurisdiction have the right to choose to join the new village, and no one can stop them, and if the above-mentioned people really owe money to the original employer, the jury of the new village shall re-determine the amount of arrears and draw up a repayment plan, and the debtor shall pay the creditor in batches with the labor remuneration obtained by the new village according to the repayment plan.
5. Those who dare to maliciously prevent tenants and serfs from joining the new village shall be punished with whipping at the light of the case, and the law will be rectified on the spot and the property will be confiscated.
As soon as the special law was promulgated, the poor households, tenants, and serfs rushed to tell each other, they suddenly gained freedom, they were originally fixed on the land, their ancestors were exploited by the landlords and squires for generations, and they could only rely on the sky for food, and now they have the right to choose to join the new village, this year's natural disaster is a foregone conclusion, the crops in the fields are about to die, many people are on the verge of despair, and in desperation, they are hoping that the rebel army will soon arrive in Henan, and they can seek a glimmer of life.
This practice of the new village actually solved the peasant rebellion in the late Ming Dynasty. The root cause of the movement: the unreasonable peasant household registration system, the peasants are firmly bound to the land, in the event of natural disasters, the peasants must not leave their hometowns, go out to escape, otherwise they will be judged as displaced people, will be wanted by the government, and then repatriated to their hometowns, Chinese farmers, since ancient times, have a plot of difficult to leave their homeland, if they are not forced to helpless, who will leave their homeland? However, the corrupt political system of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty frantically maintained the interests of the big bureaucrats and the landlord class, ignoring the life and death of the grassroots peasants, and the peasants who were repatriated to their hometowns had nowhere to escape, and it was also a dead end at home. Move.
Yu Xiang's approach, to solve the problem of peasant mobility, first the peasants' territory to solve, and then move to the rich land in the south, for them to make a living, this practice, undoubtedly seriously infringed on the interests of the landlord and gentry, Yu Xiang after waiting, finally in the name of resisting the invasion of the rogues, so that all walks of life have nothing to say, and the important thing is that the new village did not completely deprive the landlord and squire of the property land, but in the form of voluntary deposit, deposited in the new village, which is about to lay the foundation for the new village to implement the next new village currency issuance plan.
Yu Xiang's plan was steadily implemented, in a moderate reform way, with the help of the power of war, to dismantle the serfdom of feudal society and lead social change.
Goudan is a warm-hearted person, he and Qian Haoran are doing the ideological work of the squire landlord Li Qiankun, Goudan patiently persuaded the landlord Li Qiankun: "Our two families are still close to each other, my aunt is from this village, in terms of seniority, you are my grandfather's generation, there are two and a half days left, if you don't join the new village, you just want to join the new village in the future, and there is no chance." These bandits, they are coming, they are very fast, they are robbing a rich family like you, they are coming, I am afraid that you will ruin your family. β
Li Qiankun glared at him and said, "Don't bluff me, save my grain to you, say it's saved, is this not a robbery?" I have to report my own things in advance, why do I need your approval for my own things? I also took away all the serf workers in my family, you want our lives, I swear to death and don't agree, you don't bother to speak, which is cool to go where it is cool, unless you want my old life, otherwise, if you want me to agree, no way! β
Li Qiankun's eldest son Li Daobai said: "Dad, this is an extraordinary period, Yu Qianzong does this, it must be reasonable, if the bandits are robbed, there will be nothing at that time." I have to pay for the lives of my family, and now, the new village is good, everyone has food, clothing, and safety, and there is nothing to worry about. β
Li Qiankun yelled: "Daobai, you rebel! Don't say any more, and I'll break your dog's leg again! β
Li Daobai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and the special law clearly stipulated that only by depositing property in the cooperative could he be eligible to join the new village. Li Daobai just wants to be like a new village, but it is impossible.
Goudan sighed: "In this case, I can't help you anymore, let's go!" With that, he beckoned a few people around him, turned around and was about to leave.
Li Daobai shouted: "Elder Li, please stay." β
Goudan turned around strangely and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
Li Daobai said: "If we split up, my father's share will belong to him, and my own share will go to the cooperative credit cooperative, so that I can enter the new village?" β
The dog was embarrassed, the special law was not so fine, Qian Haoran said: "Li Chang, this is not impossible!" Can you be accommodating? β
Goudan thought to himself: It's too late to ask Mr. Qian, besides, Goudan and Yu Xiang usually have a very good personal relationship, and this is from work, so there shouldn't be any problems with being so flexible. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm in charge, if you split up and your part of your property is deposited in the cooperative, you can join the new village." β
Li Qiankun saw that the general trend had gone, and he was also worried about the invasion of bandits, so he could also leave a way back for the Li family, he agreed to Li Daobai's proposal to divide the Li family on the spot, and even Li Daoxiu, the girl who was not out of the cabinet, also shared a share, and Li Daobai and Li Daoxiu both volunteered to join the new village.
In the end, in the compound of the Li family of Nuoda, only Li Qiankun and his wife and a faithful elderly family were left.
This flexible approach of Goudan was soon transmitted back to the new village, recognized by Yu Xiang, and distributed to the hands of the governors as a supplementary clause of the special law in wartime, which really played a very good role, resulting in the separation of dozens of landlords and squires, and many young people joined the new village with their share of the property.
Wang Baoqiang is urging his wife and two daughters to pack up their things and rush to the new village, which is said to be there within three days, so as not to delay the time to enter the new village.
Since the elders, his family has been working in the house of the financial professer, the eldest daughter Wang Xiaohua is seventeen years old, and has been promised to Zhang Yuanwai's neurotic youngest son, who has already set a date, and will pass the door in the near future.
Although Wang Baoqiang disagreed, he was taken by Zhang Yuanwai's obscenity, and he didn't dare to disobey, otherwise, the family would die, and in these years, there is no place to reason. Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, how can he miss it!
Wang Baoqiang had just cleaned up, Zhang Yuanwai with a few thugs, holding a big guillotine knife in his hand, appeared outside the dilapidated thatched hut viciously, Wang Baoqiang took his wife and daughter hurriedly went out, knelt down in front of Zhang Yuanwai, kowtowed again and again, and begged them to let him go.
Zhang Yuanwai's eldest son, Zhang Tianshun, held a rattan and roared menacingly: "Your family, eating me and drinking me, actually did such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial thing, and still wanted to run, raising a dog and knowing how to repay the master, you are simply a pig and a dog." β
After that, he raised the rattan and pulled it down fiercely, Wang Baoqiang's family of three hugged together and protected their heads, their backs soon opened their skin, and the screams were endless.
When they were in the middle of the murder, they heard a rush of footsteps, and Ah Niu shouted: "Stop! β
Ah Niu led a group of people and surrounded them in the shape of a fan. The muzzles of several black holes were pointed at them.
When a few poor thugs saw it just now, they wilted, obediently threw down the guillotine in their hands, stood aside, and grabbed it.
Zhang Yuanwai looked at this situation and snorted coldly: "We don't break the law, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, we owe debts and repay money, it is justified, today we come to ask for accounts, he does not pay back, let's teach you a lesson, which law to commit, what can you bear with me." β
Zhang Yuanwai's three sons heard his father say this, arrogantly raised the guillotine in his hand and said: "They were my serfs in their last life, I just won't let them go, what's wrong with you, it's illegal for you to do this." βγ
Ah Niu said coldly: "So, you refuse to let people go, against Xincun, against Lord Qianzong?" β
"Don't bluff people, Qian is a fart! Lao Tzu has someone in the capital, and with only one little finger stretched out, he will kill the bullshit Qian Zong like an ant, so he will be less fucking bluffing. Zhang Yuanwai's eldest son said arrogantly.
Ah Niu stopped talking, waved his hand, and suddenly spit out a few tongues of fire from the muzzle of the gun, and several gunshots rang out, Zhang Yuanwai and his three sons were all shot in the head and fell to the ground.
When the thugs saw it, they all collapsed to the ground.
Ah Niu announced: "Zhang Sutian's family maliciously prevented Wang Baoqiang's family from joining the new village, maliciously resisted the law, and the law has been corrected on the spot. confiscated his family property. β
Ah Niu led people to the Zhang family's compound, and the youngest son of the Zhang family copied the kitchen knife and ran towards Ah Niu, when he heard a gunshot, this guy was shot in the head and fell to the ground and died.
An obese old woman was about to come over desperately with her teeth and claws, but she was also punished on the spot and shot in the head.
At this time, no one in the Zhang family compound resisted, and some women knelt in the courtyard trembling with their children in their arms. The poor households, who were usually bullied by them, grabbed their arms and fists to go up and beat them, but Ah Niu sternly stopped: "We are not bandits, the lawbreakers have been punished, and we are not allowed to move a finger from others." β
These people just stopped. was busy confiscating the Zhang family's property and registering it for confiscation.
Zhang Yuanwai violently resisted the law, six people were corrected on the spot, and the news of the confiscation of property soon spread, and the other squires and landlords were so frightened that they obediently obeyed the special law, and never dared to violate it again.
Only a very small number of squire landlords stayed in place, guarding their ancestral business, and did not cooperate with the new village.
In three days, the personnel of the other eight towns gathered in Dongshuanghe Town, lived in a simple wooden house, Shengying and several other lieutenant chiefs were responsible for unified coordination and arrangement, from these people to discover the young and strong, select the excellent, enrich the defense of the new village, village affairs, Li Daobai can break the literacy, was selected as the new village teacher, Li Daoxiu is good at embroidery, was selected into the embroidery room, sewing the new village military flag.
A made military flag was delivered, Yu Xiang opened the military flag, and the red background was embroidered with blue and white Taiji diagrams.
Miss Xu San asked: "This blue is very beautiful and fresh, but it is not as eye-catching and domineering as black and white." Why don't you use black and white Taiji? Why is the flag designed like this? β
In front of her, a rare serious expression appeared on Yu Xiang's face and said: "The blue sky and white clouds represent sunshine and peace. There is no black and white in the world, many things are right and wrong, and everything Xincun does is not to correct who is right and who is wrong, to justify right and wrong, but to return everything to its original place and return thousands of people to peace and tranquility. Red is the color of blood, peace and tranquility is fought for at the cost of blood, but also to warn future generations, the ancestors for them to fight for tomorrow is at the cost of blood, warning future generations, be prepared for danger in times of peace, work hard. The selection of Taijitu is to establish a circular benign environment, so that the splendid Chinese civilization will never be exhausted. β
Yu Xiang's face showed infinite yearning and longing for the future, and his tone revealed an incomparably firm determination to realize these wishes.
Miss Xu San felt the wild beating in her heart, which was pure admiration. Over the years, she has made a lot of money, but she has always lived in fear, always worried that someone will rob her of her property for various reasons and make her follow the path of her father and brother. Since seeing Yu Xiang, she has a direction, and her heart has been at peace, just when Yu Xiang was injured and lying on the bed dying, she felt that the sky had fallen, and she felt suffocated and panicked.
Therefore, she was a weak woman, risking her life, and resolutely went to ask the wonderful hand to rejuvenate Yang and save Yu Xiang.
Today, this usually giggling man, the huge dream contained in her heart, she is also willing to realize this dream for the benefit of millions of people, and she even began to be enthusiastic and fanatical about this dream.
At this moment, Kong Huayang came and said, "Lord Qianhu, the gunpowder is running out, what should I do?" β
"How many bullets are made?" Yu Xiang asked.
"A total of 8,000 bullets were made, 1,000 were used in normal training, and 7,000 remained."
"It's too late to find gunpowder now, that's all, find out all the weapons, let Qi Dayong choose first, and give the rest of the weapons to Shengying."
"Okay. However, the problem of gunpowder must be solved, and a shortage of gunpowder is not the solution. β
"Not only gunpowder, pig iron, and coal must be solved, and there will be a solution soon." Yu Xiang said confidently.
When Huo De Zhenjun heard these words, he felt a lot more steady, and he knew that Yu Xiang would do what he said.
As soon as Huo De Zhenjun Kong Huayang left, Jia Bin ran over with sweat on his head, and hurriedly entered the house to report: "A lot of sentry agents were found around, and a few were caught, and after interrogation, they were all Zhang Xianzhong's sentry agents." β
"Have you found out where their large forces are?" Yu Xiang asked.
"Zhang Xianzhong's troops are in the area of Tongbai County, about 200 miles away from Dongshuanghe Town."
"Okay, let's explore again!"
"Yes!" After Jia Bin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Slow down, come back!"
Jia Bin stopped for a long time, turned around, and asked in surprise, "There are still orders?" β
Yu Xiang threw him a bottle of cold water, and at this time, the mineral water bottle left by the red lady was filled with boiled water, and said to him: "This bottle of water is kept for drinking on the road." β
Jia Binjiu's face showed the beaten expression again: "Qianhu, are there any good things, give me some more." β
Yu Xiang saw that he was sweating on his face, threw him the towel he brought back from modern society, and said, "No, you wipe your sweat first, it's hard work." β
"Thank you, and give me a towel." With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
"I saidβwaitβwhen did I tell you?" But Jia Binjiu, this kid, will definitely not return it when he gets it in his hands.
Yu Xiang clapped his hands and said, "Here, there is no towel to use, you can only use white cotton strips, hey!" This kid! β
The red lady watched from the side, strange and distressed, this towel was still used by Yu Xiang to tie her arms, and the towel kept the memories of the red lady and Yu Xiang. The red lady said to Yu Xiang: "You don't have to worry, I have my own clever plan, let him obediently return the towel!" β
When Yu Xiang heard this, he roughly guessed the tricks used by the red lady.
