Chapter 376: Ludong Agrarian Revolution 1

"There was a thunderclap!"

"Down with the local tyrants and inferior gentry!"

"In the past, the poor were three inches shorter!"

"Now he is a man who stands up to the heavens and the earth!"

"The farmers of the world want to turn over!"

"Be your own master!"

"All power belongs to the people!"

"The Baath Party is the one who leads the way!"

"Thick black hands, wow, big seal!"

"The banner of revolution shines on the hearts of the people!"

"Hold the rifle bayonet tightly!"

"Resolutely move forward the revolution!"

Beginning in April 1629, this revolutionary song called "Song of Peasant Friends" was sung throughout Dengzhou and Laizhou in the Ming Dynasty. As the sound of this song became more and more intense, all kinds of landlords and gentry in Dengzhou and Laizhou were wiped out in the Ludong Agrarian Revolution launched by the Baath Party.

"We Baathists must insist on a concrete analysis of specific problems! We, the Baathists, must combine revolutionary theory with concrete revolutionary practice! ”

"The situation in the Ludong base area is completely different from the situation in the Hubei base area, so the working methods we adopt in the Ludong area are inevitably different from those in the Hubei area."

Ever since Wang Shuhui arrived in the Ludong base area, he began to establish a complete set of revival party systems in the Ludong base area, which was replicated in the Hubei base area.

A large number of second- and third-in-command cadres serving in the organs and departments of the Baath Party at all levels in the Hubei base area were transferred by Wang Shuhui to the Ludong base area. After less than half a year of running-in and exploration, the entire leading body of the Baath Party's Ludong base area was formally established.

"Of course, in the construction of the Ludong base area, we must fully absorb the experience and lessons of the Hubei base area, but this does not mean that we should take the experience of the Hubei base area to the Ludong base area and copy it. Hubei has the situation in Hubei, and Ludong has the situation in Ludong, and we must persist in making a concrete analysis of specific problems. ”

At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Revival Party in the Ludong Base Area, Wang Shuhui said to the members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ludong Base Party who had just taken office.

"Shandong is different from Hubei, and the land contradictions in Shandong are much more intense than those in Hubei. Let's take a look at the materials at hand. According to the materials provided by the comrades of the Investigation Committee of the Bureau of Statistics, there are basically no yeoman farmers in the entire Denglai area now. In the counties of Dengzhou and Laizhou, each county is now basically controlled by a few large landowners. Largelanders with thousands of acres of land at home, which are relatively rare in Hubei, are very common in the Denglai area. ”

"Of course, everyone has seen through the materials that the problem in Shandong is land output, and the level of agricultural production is relatively low. In the absence of irrigation, the output of land in Shandong is very scarce. The annual income of these landlords, who have more than 100,000 mu or even hundreds of thousands of mu of land at home, is not even as high as the income of an ordinary landlord in the Jiangnan area. ”

What does this mean? This shows that although the landlords have a large amount of land, because of the low level of productivity, the potential of the land, a means of production, has not been explored. More importantly, under this low level of productivity, these landlords will exploit the peasants even more frantically under the conditions of feudal land ownership. ”

It has also been clearly mentioned in the materials that the land rent in the Dengzhou capital area this year has reached a height of seven, a half or eight floors. It is precisely because of this harsh exploitation that the masses of the people throughout Shandong have rebelled one after another. ”

"Therefore, the primary problem that our Baath Party has to face in the Ludong base area is to completely solve the fierce land contradictions in the Denglai area."

The core land policy of the Ba'ath Party is the state ownership of land. But in concrete terms, the Baath Party will take different approaches to the land problem depending on the situation.

Generally speaking, the most common method adopted by the Baath Party is to mobilize the masses to fight local tyrants and landlords. This method is mainly aimed at those areas where land contradictions are very intense. In such an area, the local landlords basically have a lot of blood debts and human lives. The hatred of the local people towards the landlords is often very great.

After exempting the masses of the people from the usury owed to the landlords and the imperial grain and state taxes that had been transferred to them, the Baath Party would distribute the grain and materials of the landlords' families to the local masses on an equal basis. After that, the Ba'ath Party would confiscate the land and property of the landlords and nationalize the land and money of the local landlords.

After that, the Baath Party will send production and construction troops to train and train the local people, and concentrate the local land to establish state-owned farms in the local area that use advanced equipment, improved seeds, and modern scientific agricultural production technology for agricultural production. Since then, local farmers have been transformed from farmers to agricultural workers.

In this process, on the one hand, the Baath Party split the large peasant families into small families of two or three. At the same time, the Ba'ath Party will also buy out the custody and education rights of local farmers in the form of subsidies, and gather local young people under the age of 18 for cultural education. Finally, the Baath Party will carry out local conscription work, further drawing out young people under the age of 30 and over 18 years old for comprehensive militarization and industrialization training.

In the environment of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the fierceness of land contradictions was a common phenomenon. Because the landlord class's plundering of land and exploitation of the people at this stage were particularly cruel, the Baath Party adopted this method of mobilizing the masses to fight the local tyrants and landlords in the vast majority of cases.

In addition to this method, the Baath Party will show the second way to the rare landlords and gentry who have no blood debts and no lives, and who have relatively moderate relations with the local masses. That is, through the method of land exchange, the exchange of one's own land with the corresponding technology, equipment and funds for the Baath Party institutions, and the transformation from agricultural landlords to industrial capitalists.

Generally speaking, with the exception of a small number of "enlightened" landlords who were fully aware of the strength of the Ba'ath Party, the vast majority of landlords were still unwilling to accept such a way of life. Under these circumstances, these landlords would be imprisoned by the Baath Party in concentration camps for ideological reform in the name of rebellion against the revolution. Their land and wealth will also be nationalized by the Baath Party.

After that, the Baath Party would adopt the same approach, using the Production and Construction Corps to train and educate local peasants, establish advanced state farms, and transform peasants into agricultural workers.

In addition to the above two situations, in some mountainous and hilly areas where the terrain conditions are relatively poor, but not so bad that it is necessary to relocate the local people, the Baath Party will adopt the method of "cracking down on local tyrants, dividing up the land, and conscripting troops" to resolve the serious local land contradictions. After the work of "cracking down on local tyrants, dividing up land, and conscripting troops on a large scale," the local government of the Baath Party will adopt the method of establishing agricultural cooperatives and carrying out special agricultural operations, and mobilize the local masses to plant agriculture with special characteristics suitable for the local topography and landform.

For example, the way of planting tea trees, raising silkworms, planting fruit trees and planting fast-growing trees is more popular in the mountainous and hilly areas of Hubei.

Although the scale of the special agricultural cooperatives at the present stage is still relatively small, because of the rapid development of transportation under the rule of the Baath Party and the comprehensive improvement of the socialized large-scale production system, the income level of those peasants living in mountainous and hilly areas has increased rapidly, and the living standards have risen rapidly.

Of course, this is also directly related to the extremely low living standards of the peasants in this era at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, no matter which way to solve the land conflict. The practice of the Baath Party in Hubei is based on the already relatively complete and developed industrial system.

The Ba'ath Party in Shandong is faced with a particularly serious problem of land contradictions in the northern region, which is on the verge of an outbreak of contradictions. Faced with this situation, the work of the agrarian revolution became a priority for the Baath Party.

Industrial construction and state-run farm construction were carried out at the same time, and this became a rather difficult situation that the Ludong base area had to face
