Chapter 187: Returning Home and Seeing
At the end of 1911, Chen Lileng, who had been away from his hometown for almost six years, finally set foot on the land of Guizhou again.
Yuping County is the first county in Changsha, Hunan Province to enter Guizhou, just entered Guizhou and stepped into the boundary of Guizhou, Chen Lileng gave birth to a kind of hometown timidity, listening to the familiar local dialect in his ears, although he has not yet arrived in Pingyue, but there is a feeling of home.
"What's the matter, Lileng won't leave?" When Chen Lileng stopped outside the city gate of Yuping County and felt it, Yu Peilun couldn't help but step forward and said: "According to our speed, we will arrive at your house in two days, why do you have to get home, it feels different?" ”
"Yes, I also left home from here six years ago, and I can't imagine that it will be six years to say goodbye, and I almost can't even return home forever, I don't know what has changed in my family now?" Chen Li nodded and sighed.
His experience may be able to write a book, to study, to get acquainted with the hot-blooded young people of the League, and to assassinate the country's top leader with Wang Jingwei, and at the same time to have his own lover on the way, and then go to prison. Six years, not long, not short, the young man who went out of Guizhou at the beginning has now become a young man who has gone through vicissitudes, time flies, it may be nothing for others, but for Chen Lileng, it is like a world away.
If it weren't for the Wuchang Uprising, he might have to stay in prison with Wang Jingwei for the rest of his life, or die inexplicably, how could he set foot on the land of Guizhou again. Although Guizhou was poor, backward and isolated, it was precisely because he wanted to change this place that Chen Lileng resolutely joined the League at that time, hoping to overthrow the Qing Dynasty with a group of people with lofty ideals and create a new environment for Guizhou to develop.
This is his own home, whether he is poor or rich, or where he was born and raised, during the year in prison, Chen Lileng thought about this land the most, and missed his family on this land the most. Being able to come back again, this is something that Chen Lileng wants to do but has never dared to do.
At this time, stepping on this land again, Chen Lileng's mood is definitely complicated.
"Hehe, don't worry, Lileng, the changes in your family will definitely surprise you." Hearing this, he patted Chen Lileng's shoulder, but Huang Fusheng smiled slightly and did not make any unnecessary explanations.
Throw a fit?
Chen Lining looked back at Yu Peilun and Huang Fusheng, looking at the expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but guess again what had happened to his family? Along the way, he had heard the two of them say this sentence and say it many times.
Are the changes in your home really beyond your imagination? Chen Leng turned his head, took a deep look at the Yuping City Gate, and walked with a hint of anticipation.
"Study, study, Yuping's fathers and fellow villagers, if you want to go to Pingyue to study, hurry, hurry, this is the last time Pingyue Agricultural School will recruit free students, everyone is okay in winter, it's best to go to Pingyue to study."
Chen Lileng and his entourage entered the small county town of Yuping, and a horse team came to them, and there was actually a man in front of the horse team holding a gong and shouting a word that seemed to be propaganda......
"Pingyue?"
When the familiar place name came, Chen Lileng, who had just entered the city, was immediately stunned, and quickly exchanged glances with Yu Peilun, Huang Fusheng and others, Chen Lileng hurriedly looked at the horse team on the street of Yuping.
The horse team consisted of more than 20 fat and strong horses, walking neatly on the streets of Yuping. Notice that there is a strip of white cloth with large characters written on the back of each batch of horses.
"Agricultural science and technology go to the countryside, change the life of Guizhou, actively participate enthusiastically, and there is a surplus of rice and millet?"
Chen Lileng turned his head to look at Yu Peilun, Yang Shuzhuang, and Huang Fusheng, and hurriedly said, "This, what are these?" ”
Chen Lileng and his group of more than a dozen people, almost all of them had doubts. Yu Peilun and Huang Fusheng naturally looked quite puzzled.
"Yo, fellow, you just came back from other provinces, right?" The group stayed on the street, and it was easy to attract the attention of others, and a more extroverted man came forward to talk to him.
"Yes, yes, we just came home from Hunan, what's going on?" Seeing that someone understood, Chen Lileng nodded hurriedly.
"I just came from Hunan, so it's no wonder. Surely you don't know about the agricultural policy that President Pham recently announced, right? The enthusiastic fellow's face was abrupt.
"Agricultural policy, Chairman Fan?" Chen Lileng and the others were even more puzzled, "Fellow, what's going on, can you tell us in detail?" ”
"Yes, of course we can, we in Guizhou finally have hope this time!" When the fellow was asked, he seemed very happy, and immediately said: "That's the case, Chairman Fan announced our agricultural policy in Guizhou this year two months ago, in addition to exempting our farmers from imperial grain, they also provided the latest and best quality free seed policy, not only distributed seeds to our farmers for free, but also organized the province's volunteer horse team, went to the countryside to all parts of the province, and invited us to go to the agricultural school in Pingyue to learn more scientific and high-yield agricultural knowledge. ”
"The horse team is the volunteer horse team they sent, once a week, four times a month, all of them come to pick up and drop off the little people who want to study for free." Speaking of this, the man was very excited, and his face was full of smiles.
Today's Guizhou is slowly on the right track that Chen Liqing wants, one month is used to determine the system and leadership team, and the rest of the time Fan Wei and the others begin to determine the agricultural plan of the entire Guizhou Province.
On the one hand, relying on Yang Xincheng's new army, Chen Lijun's patrol team radiated outward with the Guiyang Pingyue line as the center to strengthen the centralization of power. On the other hand, the newly formed Minsheng Party began to plan for the people's livelihood agriculture in Guizhou and began to lay out a new planting plan for the next spring. At present, the activities of agricultural science and technology in the countryside in most areas of Guizhou are the concrete actions of the People's Livelihood Party headed by Zhang Xianmo.
The activity is naturally very popular with farmers from all over the country, especially the news that farmers no longer need to go to the emperor's grain, after it spread all over Guizhou, I don't know how many farmers cheered happily, calling Fan Wei the lord of the sky, etc., and some farmers' families even offered Fan Wei's tablet.
In short, with Fan Wei coming to power and the Chen family really beginning to take power, Guizhou is beginning to change step by step as Chen Liqing hoped. Looking at these changes, some people in the divided autonomous society also had some touches, and a large part of the autonomous society personnel automatically turned into the people's livelihood party and began to do things for the people of Guizhou.
Today's Guizhou is in a very good situation.
Of course, banditry is still serious in various places, poverty still exists in various places, and the problem of traffic congestion in various places is still an important constraint hindering the development of Guizhou. However, the Guizhou authorities have now recognized these problems and announced a development plan, which has allowed the people of Guizhou to finally see the light of day.
"Actually, there is such a plan? So how much does each county need to invest in this kind of horse team? After listening to the introduction of this fellow, Chen Lileng and the others were silent for a long time, until one of them heard the voice, and Chen Lileng and they woke up.
"We don't know how much money to invest, anyway, we know that now we in Guizhou, under the leadership of Chairman Fan, are on a good stand." The fellow looked forward to it and sighed.
Chen Lileng looked at this fellow's expression, and his heart became curious about the changes in his family again.
"It seems that Uncle Chen and they really do what they say, when I remember chatting with Mr. Zhang, they said that if they control Guizhou, the first thing is to develop Guizhou's agriculture." The villagers left, but Chen Lileng's shock was not so easy to dissipate, especially Yu Peilun, he couldn't help but think of the time he spent in Guizhou before, during which he saw Pingyue expanding their agricultural school.
"Lileng, since that team is going to Pingyue, why don't we follow forward?" Yu Peilun sighed and couldn't help but look at the horse team.
Chen Lileng looked up, and under the hard work of the man in front of the horse team, the horse team had attracted many peasants. From the mouth of the fellow just now, they also knew that after the horse team and others arrived, they would go directly to Pingyue.
"Okay, let's follow all the way and have a good look." Chen Lileng immediately nodded in agreement, he was naturally curious about this horse team that belonged to his own family.
So their team approached the horse team and proposed the idea of following the horse team leader all the way.
The leader of the horse team is a new member of the Minsheng Party, surnamed Li, not a Pingyue person, and naturally did not refuse Chen Lileng's request, but heard that Chen Lileng and a group of them were quite scholarly, and after knowing that Chen Lileng was a foreign student from Guizhou, he vigorously and warmly invited them to go to Guiyang to ask for a position.
He told Chen Lileng that Guiyang Political Axe is now recruiting talents from all over Guizhou, and the treatment is preferential, and anyone who wants to contribute to the construction of Guizhou and dedication to Guizhou can get a certain position, meritocracy, there are no requirements, and no matter whether you were a thief or a scholar before, as long as you have a heart to serve Guizhou, you can sign up.
After getting this news, Chen Lileng and his group were suddenly shocked again.
Guizhou's political axe's move is clearly to imitate Juxianzhuang during the Three Kingdoms period, specializing in recruiting talents. Originally, some of the people brought by Chen Lileng were still a little suspicious of coming to Guizhou, a remote province, but when they heard that Guizhou Political Axe actually made this move, they had an inexplicable good impression.
After Chen Lileng got the news, he thought of his father's lack of talents, and they all regretted that they didn't bring more people to Guizhou together. At the same time, as soon as he entered Yuping, he saw the changes in Guizhou, and as the horse team marched in the direction of Pingyue, he became more and more curious about his own family.
Next, as they followed the horse team closer and closer to Pingyue, one after another new atmosphere and new changes appeared, which raised their curiosity to the maximum. And even a day and a half later, Chen Lileng and his party arrived in Weng'an, and when they arrived at his grandmother's house, Chen Lileng and others were shocked to the maximum.
The development of Weng'an County is almost synchronous with Pingyue, and even because it is close to Zunyi and Chongqing, the folk customs are more fierce and bold than Pingyue, and its development is more than Pingyue. All kinds of small-scale goods are basically sold to Yucheng, and they are sold to Sichuan, which is richer than Guizhou. Therefore, the economy of Weng'an is even stronger than that of Pingyuedu.
After two years of development in the county, shotguns have basically been replaced by cannons, and even every household has used electric lights and running water. Some wealthy people even bought luxury items such as bicycles and phonographs from Shanghai.
Chen Lileng and when they arrived at Weng'an, it happened to be night, and suddenly turned from the dark mountain road with no five birds, and a brightly lit Weng'an appeared in front of them, this sudden change made Chen Lileng and a group of people stunned.
"This, this is Weng'an?" Along the way, although I saw many unusual things, cement roads, plastic greenhouses, and various propaganda slogans, those things are not as good as the Weng'an County that shines like a pearl in the dark night.
In such a remote, closed, backward Chinese mainland, there is actually a small city with bright lights, which is as shocking as the sudden emergence of autumn fragrance in the midst of a group of ugly girls.
Chen Lileng is not that he has never seen a big city, in the years when he was studying in Tokyo, the development of Tokyo also caused a huge shock to him, he thought of the vast China at that time, except for Yanjing and Shanghai, I am afraid there is no such brightly lit city, the sense of aggrief at that time, the inferiority complex is Chen Lileng can not forget in his life. However, he didn't expect that his originally backward, closed, and in the eyes of the world was a small country in the world, there would be such a bright city in the depths of the mountains.
Shocked, stunned, at that moment, Chen Lileng's head was shocked except shock, and there was nothing else.
Similarly, with his same expression, there were also those farmers in Yuping who had never seen the world, and they were also shocked and speechless when they saw such a magical Weng'an.
The only person who can maintain a normal heart is the cadres of the horse team, and the leader Li Zhi even took this opportunity to say loudly to the people around him: "See? Two years ago, Weng'an was still the same as Yuping, there were many people who could not eat, there were many people who could not dress warmly, there were beggars, and there was oppression, but just two years ago, Chairman Fan united with our Guizhou Finance Bureau Director Chen Mingren Chen Master Chen began to transform Weng'an, Pingyue, after two years of hard work, now the number of households in Weng'an County has increased from 5,000 people two years ago to 13,000 now. Among these 13,000 people, each person can eat three bowls of rice a day, eat a pound of pork in two days, and use electric lights at night that foreigners can't use, so that the dark night still becomes daytime. ”
There is nothing more convincing than seeing is believing, and at this time, everyone was awakened by Li Zhi's sudden introduction.
Li Zhi continued to say: "As long as everyone wholeheartedly supports Chairman Fan and our Minister of Agriculture, everyone will also live a life like Weng'an in the near future, even better than Weng'an!" ”
"This Weng'an was actually built by my father and Chairman Fan?" Hearing Li Zhi's words, Chen Lileng couldn't help but look at Yu Peilun and Huang Fusheng in shock.
"Sort of, anyway, when we came here last year, Weng'an was already like this, of course, Pingyue is better than this." Yu Peilun nodded, in the team, he and Huang Fusheng had naturally seen this shocking change in Weng'an.
"Pingyue is a little better than Weng'an?" Chen Lileng was taken aback again, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Weng'an in the distance again.
Suddenly, the outline of a house hung with a high lantern caught his eye, and the familiar place was the home of his uncle Wang Youzhi.
At this time, the room was brightly lit, and the crowd was surging like a lively street market during the day, as if he had a premonition, Chen Li frowned slightly.
In the county seat, in the courtyard of Wang Youzhi, it is indeed full of people, like a bazaar. It's just that at this time, in the courtyard of more than 3,000 square meters of his house, soldiers are standing neatly in front of him, neatly dressed and fully armed.
"Brothers, the time has come for everyone to shed their blood for us and for Guizhou." At the front of the team, Wang Youzhi's two sons, Wang Dezhi and Wang Deyong, looked at everyone in military uniforms, and Wang Deyong was shouting to the crowd with a solemn face at this time.
"I believe you have heard that our Guizhou is in an emergency, Guo Chongguang and others are eating things inside and outside, and the thieves from Yunnan have been introduced into our Guizhou under the collusion between inside and outside, and the compatriots in front are struggling to resist Tang Jiyao and them, and they need our support at this time."
"Do you want to see our homeland trampled on by those rabbit cubs from other provinces? Are you willing to let those rabbit cubs from other provinces burn and loot in our homes at will? ”
"We in Guizhou, we in Weng'an, now we have hope for life, are brothers willing to watch those people smash our jobs and destroy our homes?"
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
Suddenly, a roar erupted in the courtyard, and the excited voices of the crowd spread throughout Weng'an County at this moment.
"Swear to drive the Yunnan thieves out of Guizhou!"
"Kill all the thieves in Yunnan and enter Yunnan!"
……
"What's going on here?" Chen Lileng and the others, who had just entered Weng'an County, happened to hear this group of excited voices, and subconsciously, Chen Liceng unconsciously looked in the direction of his uncle's house, and the voice came from there.
"That's right, Guo Chongguang and those people were dissatisfied with some of the arrangements made by Chairman Fan and Director Chen, and secretly colluded with Tang Jiyao in Yunnan, intending to let the Yunnan army get involved in our Guizhou and overthrow Chairman Fan's rule. At this time, the army on our side is fighting against Tang Jiyao's Dian army in the Tongren area, this battle has been fought for three days, and now we are organizing people and horses in various parts of Guizhou to prepare to go to the front line to support. Li Zhi's voice sounded beside Chen Lileng.
"What?" Hearing this, Chen Lining was taken aback, and then hurriedly asked, "Then how is the battle situation now, my father...... No, Director Chen, are they okay? In a hurry, Chen Lileng almost called the wrong name. (To be continued.) )
