January 16, 1918, Taiwan Strait.

The gunboat Yongfeng ploughed a white spray on the calm sea, and in the warm winter sun, the small 780-ton warship was heading for Guangzhou at a speed of 12.5 knots. Chang Ruiqing is now on this warship, and he did not hesitate to Sun Yat-sen's invitation, and he happily went to the appointment. Chang Ruiqing still admires this "revolutionary pioneer" very much, especially after hearing that Sun Yat-sen would follow the methods that one of his juniors came up with to control the army and the locality, he even looked forward to meeting Sun Yat-sen.

The voyage from Fuzhou to Guangzhou is more than 1,000 kilometers long, and it takes about two days and two nights to arrive at the speed of the Yongfeng ship. During these two days, Chang Ruiqing did not pay much attention to enjoying the scenery of the Taiwan Strait, and most of the time, he sat in the cabin specially prepared for him on the Yongfeng ship, carefully looking at the first draft of the "Fujian Land Reform Measures" presented by Pan Yucheng.

Although the character of Pan Dahao, who "sells women for glory", is not very good, he is still a capable official, especially his understanding and methods of the current rural areas of Fujian, which is indeed many times more than his own traveler. It seems that there is still no shortage of capable people in China, and the key is to use the right place. Thinking of this, he felt as if he was the Bole who specialized in discovering Maxima.

“…… The most acute contradiction in the countryside lies in the antagonism between the gentry and tenants, and the reasons for the antagonism between the gentry and tenants are very complicated. The existing landlords and gentry rented heavily and exploited them, making it difficult for the tenants to have food and clothing; There are also tenants who resist rent and evade rent at every turn, and the gentry have to hire regimental soldiers to collect land rent, communicate with the government, and raise their minions.

At present, although the local separatist forces in Fujian Province have been suppressed, the source of the chaos is still there, and the opposition between the gentry and tenants is still very strong, and it has been for a long time. There will be a resurgence of old troubles. If a long-term policy is required, it is necessary to deal with the root cause so that the relationship between the gentry and the land in Fujian's rural areas will no longer be in a state of antagonism.

…… It wants to solve the confrontation between the gentry and tenants in the rural areas of Fujian. It is necessary to find a way to make both the gentry and tenants think that they are the benefit party, so that they can be carried out smoothly. Yucheng thinks that now only the 'law of eternal tenant and eternal rest' can make the tenant gentry win-win. Make the countryside forever peaceful.

The so-called perpetual tenant law refers to the separation of the cultivation and ownership of the leased land. Any tenant who rents land has the right to cultivate the land, and the county government will issue a 'permanent tenant certificate', and the landlord will never be able to take back the lease. In the future, all taxes, assessments, servitudes, etc., related to the land have nothing to do with the landlord, and they are the responsibility of the tenant who holds the perpetual tenant certificate. Furthermore. The land rent payable by the tenants is also collected by the local township governments and peasant associations, and the tenants no longer have any contact with the landlords.

The so-called perpetual interest method refers to the ownership of leased land, which is issued by the local county government as a 'perpetual interest certificate', and the government issues a fixed 'land rent' on an annual basis. The landowners and gentry who held the certificate were not entitled to receive any land rent directly, but could only sit on the 'interest', which was actually the same as holding bonds. In addition, the 'perpetual interest' issued by the Government can be paid to the Bank of China banknotes. It can also be issued directly by Bank of China. In this way, the gentry and powerful no longer need to live in the countryside for a long time, and they will inevitably move to the central cities in large numbers, and the control and oppression of the countryside will also be eliminated by themselves.

As for the perpetual interest, it should be based on the current income from the land rent, after deducting taxes, assessments, and the cost of rent collection (the cost of hiring thugs and regiments). Then pay a fixed number of banknotes at a 20% discount. There are such conditions, plus the prestige of the commander-in-chief. It is believed that the local gentry in Fujian will no longer hinder land reform. The rent of the perpetual tenant can be levied by the local township government together with the land endowment, apportionment and other expenses. It can be roughly determined to be 35% of the harvest. In this way, the burden of land rent on tenants can also be reduced, the contradictions between local tenants and gentry will be permanently resolved, and the provincial government's control over the local areas will be greatly enhanced......"

Chang Ruiqing was fascinated by the fact that the importance of this land reform method cannot be overemphasized, and it is also the key to stabilizing his regime in the future. If the method proposed by Pan Yucheng is feasible, then there is really hope that the land contradiction that has become the biggest internal cause of the demise of the Republic of China in history can be resolved once and for all! Although Pan Yucheng did not say it explicitly in his "Fujian Land Reform Measures", Chang Ruiqing knew that the other party had left him with the back door to realize "the cultivator has his land"!

Because in the "perpetual interest method" proposed by him, the landlord receives a fixed interest by virtue of the "perpetual interest certificate"! And it's paper money. Even if it were not the hyperinflation of the fiat currency gold yuan in the Kuomintang era, there was a "benign inflation" of 3 to 5 percent per year, and in ten or twenty years, the "permanent interest" that the landlords would get every year would be at most equivalent to two or three percent of their current purchasing power. In this way, they were deprived of their land by boiling frogs in warm water...... Of course, some of these clever local tyrants and gentry will definitely sell their "perpetual interest certificates" for a good price as soon as possible, and then use them to invest in industry and commerce, and become evil capitalists! But wouldn't the bourgeois revolution in China be completed smoothly?

While he was concentrating, there was a sudden knock on the hatch. Chang Ruiqing shouted: "Come in!" I saw Zhao Xiang'er walking in with a gloomy face and a thick telegram. This former female bandit is now the intelligence officer next to Chang Ruiqing, which is the meaning of the spy leader! The information sent from the Gendarmerie Bureau, the Renaissance Society, and the Red Brigade will be delivered to her as soon as possible.

Looking at her expression, Chang Ruiqing's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, what happened again? Could it be that something has changed in the British? He sat there with a deep sigh, waiting for Zhao Xiang'er to hand over the message. The woman leaned into Chang Ruiqing's ear and whispered: "Yaoru, something happened in Fuzhou, it has something to do with GCD." ”

“gcd？ What happened to them? Chang Ruiqing was stunned, hurriedly took the message and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed, and finally he suddenly slammed the table with his fist: "What's the matter!" What the hell is going on? Who ordered them to hold on? Xiang'er, isn't it you? ”

It turned out that the content of this telegram was actually related to the secret gathering of Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao and Shao Piaoping! The three of them are under the surveillance of the intelligence system of the Renaissance Society! Chang Ruiqing did not remember that he had given such an instruction, nor did he believe that Ren Yijiang, the director of the military police, and Sun Hong, the director general of the Fuxing Society, would make their own decisions.

Seeing Chang Ruiqing's face, Zhao Xiang'er's pretty face suddenly turned pale, her teeth bit her lip lightly, and her head drooped: "I, I, I know it's wrong, I won't dare to do it in the future, how you punish me...... But they are all ill-intentioned and want to limit your power......"

"You, you ......" Chang Ruiqing pointed at Zhao Xiang'er with a slightly trembling finger, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, and it took a while before he gradually calmed down. Now his own power is increasing. And it's all dictatorial power without checks! And the "little people" around him, including women, adjutants, secretaries, and relatives, have all become extremely noble. You can even fake your own orders and use the intelligence system to monitor several leaders of the Central G!

It's just that a woman like Zhao Xiang'er, who was born in a reckless background, how could she think of spying on those scholars who didn't have much real power? It seems that behind this matter, there is another hidden story!

Come to think of it. Chang Ruiqing took a deep breath and glared at Zhao Xiang'er fiercely: "This time, remember the account first, and then I will settle it with you when I return to Fujian!" Go down, and let me be alone for some time. ”

……

With a squeak, the electric doorbell at the door of Chen Duxiu's mansion rang. As the Director of Education of the Fujian Provincial Government. Chen Duxiu now lives in a small two-story Western-style building in the city of Fuzhou, with a rather spacious garden. The iron door of the garden opened suddenly, and a dignified-looking young man spoke in official dialect with a Hokkien accent and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Li and Mr. Shao, this is ......."

Standing at the door, in addition to Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu, there was also a young man in a white cloth robe, Chen Duxiu's domestic servants had never seen it before, so he asked this question.

"Oh. Xiao Liu. This is Mr. Mao, who came from Hunan and was also Mr. Chen's original student. Li Dazhao pointed to the young man next to him and introduced it with a smile.

And that young man is the number one **oss-great leader** in another plane! Well, ** is now the chairman, and he used the funds sent by the Preparatory Committee of China to set up a Xinmin Society in Changsha, Hunan. Chairman!

Of course, this Xinmin Society is also a peripheral organization of the Chinese G, claiming to specialize in the red issue. In the previous "anti-imperialist struggle of 1917", several demonstrations and protests were also organized in Changsha. As a result, he was expelled by Zhang Jingyao, the overseer of Hunan. He had to move to Shanghai with a group of like-minded comrades, and after settling down with his comrades, he himself went south to Fujian to find the Party Central Committee.

The servant named Xiao Liu nodded at Mao ZD, opened the iron door, made a gesture to invite in, and led several people into the living room. I invited them to sit down again, and then went upstairs, apparently to invite Mr. Chen Duxiu.

Before Chen Duxiu came down, there was a maid with a cute appearance, wearing small floral clothes and two big braids, and she gave pastries and tea, and they were all quite high-end.

Mao ZD reached out and picked up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it, and said with a smile: "It tastes good!" It's much better than what you sell on the street outside. ”

Li Dazhao smiled faintly, Chen Duxiu's salary in the Fujian Education Department is not low, and the Preparatory Committee of China G also has an allowance, and his life is really good. In fact, it's not just Chen Duxiu, but himself and Shao Piaoping, who haven't been in Fujian for a long time, haven't they all "entered ** in advance"? Chang Ruiqing still respects a great intellectual like himself.

There was a soft sound on the stairs. I saw Chen Duxiu, who was wearing an elegant suit, walking down from above, the future chairman of Zhongg seemed to be in good spirits, and when he saw a few people downstairs, he laughed loudly: "Normal, Wanderer, you are all here...... Who is this? ”

Li Dazhao pointed at Mao ZD and said with a smile: "This is Mao Runzhi of the Hunan Xinmin Society, he made a special trip from Shanghai." ”

Hearing that the person who came was Mao ZD, Chen Duxiu nodded with a smile: "Very good, very good, your Hunan performance in last year's 'anti-imperialist struggle' is very good!" Saying that, he had already gone down the stairs, sat on the sofa opposite Li Dazhao and the others, and looked at the few people in front of him with a smile.

"Constant, Wanderer, what should we discuss today?"

Li Dazhao and Shao Piaoping glanced at each other, and just wanted to speak, but Mao ZD on the side suddenly interjected: "Chairman Chen, on the way here, I asked Mr. Li and Mr. Shao about the "Party Constitution" and the party's organizational principles, and found that our GCD seems to be a little too loose, and it is too far from the Russian Bolsheviks on the materials. You see, since we are brothers with the Russian Bolsheviks, should we learn more from their big brother? ”

Listening to his words, Chen Duxiu showed a helpless look. He didn't want to build the Chinese GCD into a well-organized organization. What about a disciplined, combative Leninist party? But the question is, where is the key to a Leninist party? The key is to have a comrade Lenin with boundless power! And in the current Central G Party, who can act as "Lenin"? It is the chairman of the figure of himself. Or is it Comrade Chang Ruiqing, who holds a heavy soldier in one hand, a terrorist in the other, and a foot in the red trade union, and also controls the party's funds?

So he discussed it with Li Dazhao and Shao Piaoping. I feel that the Central Government should still become a traditional socialist party based on the workers' movement, on the political party and the government, and on intra-party democracy, instead of turning the party into an opportunity for class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat! Otherwise, it is very likely that China G will become Chang Ruiqing's personal dictatorial tool. And the dictatorship of the proletariat will certainly become the government of the Chang Ruiqing dictatorship and the politics of the proletariat......

As for the internal struggle to oust Chang Ruiqing from power, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao never thought about it. They are just scholar-type revolutionaries, where can they fight terrorists like Chang Ruiqing, Wang Yaqiao, and Meng Li!

However, in this case, I can't say it to Mao ZD. Chen Duxiu just smiled faintly and explained: "Comrade Runzhi, our national conditions in China are different from those in Russia after all. They are now at the stage of the proletarian revolution. Naturally, the dictatorship of the proletariat should be imposed, so the Bolshevik Party should be the party of the dictatorship. And what about us? China is still in the stage of bourgeois revolution, and the number of the proletariat in China is too small, accounting for only a few thousandths of the total population, so it is impossible to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the Chinese revolution. If we want to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat in China, don't we want a few thousandths of a person to dictate the government of more than 990 thousandths? ”

Mao Zd shook his head slowly. He retorted: "Chairman Chen, isn't the Bolshevik Party in Russia also a minority in Russia? Aren't they also the politics of the minority and the majority? Besides. There are still hundreds of millions of farmers in China! The vast majority of them are living in dire straits, and if we can mobilize them. Our party will surely gain enough supporters! ”

Speaking of this, Mao Zd's face was already excited, his fists were waving vigorously, and his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had seen the raging fire of the Agrarian Revolutionary War burning on the land of China.

However, several big intellectuals present here did not think so. Shao Piaoping, who was in charge of the propaganda work of the Fujian Army, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Runzhi, are we GC ists or leaders of the peasant uprising?" Are we going to get China into GCISM sooner, or are we going to establish a peasant uprising regime in China? ”

Mao ZD was stunned and stunned, and looked at Shao Piaoping with a suspicious look, saying in his heart that the establishment of a peasant uprising regime and the realization of GCISM are not the same thing?

Shao Piaoping smiled, and then talked eloquently: "The lessons of the peasant uprisings in history have taught us that the damage to the productive forces caused by the peasant uprisings is very great...... It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build! Even if our policy of peasant uprising is able to gain power, we will have to face a devastated China in which all industries are in ruins, and from the point of view of the productive forces, such a China is far from GCISM, not near! ”

Mao ZD snorted lightly: "We can build!" The GC-based system can greatly liberate the productive forces, and we can completely catch up! ”

Shao Piaoping sneered: "Why do you say that the GC system can greatly liberate the productive forces?" ”

Mao ZD said solemnly: "Because under the GC system, workers and peasants do not work for capitalists and landlords, but for themselves, which will definitely greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for labor, and they will definitely work selflessly and selflessly......"

Shao Piaoping shook her head and said, "Now Russia is already a GC system, right?" Then why did the Bolsheviks still form the Cheka? Do you know what a Cheka is? It is the All-Russian Committee for the Elimination of Counter-Revolution and Sabotage! If the workers of Russia are working selflessly and selflessly, then why should this committee be set up to deal with sabotage? ”

"That's a very small minority, after all, and there are reasons for the destruction of the class enemy!" Mao ZD retorted.

Shao Piaoping nodded: "I also believe that it is a minority, but the consciousness of the Chinese proletariat is not as high as that of the Russian proletariat, and the number is small...... Those peasants are petty bourgeoisie, I don't believe that they will work selflessly, and I am afraid that when the time comes, I will have to escort them to work with Chinese Cheka machine guns! But then it would not be GCISM, but a slave society! ”

"Nope! No, it won't! Mao Zd stomped his foot, and a faint murderous aura flashed on his face.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Chen Duxiu saw that the two of them were about to fight, and hurriedly came out of the round: "That's it, when Chang Yaoru comes back, I will ask him to hand over a few villages to Mao Runzhi for GC doctrine pilots, if it can really greatly liberate the productive forces, let's find a way to promote it in the whole province." ”
