Chapter 462: The Road to a Great Power (5)

@@@@@@

Ten o'clock in the morning.

At the same time as the Xuzhou Special Court rang the bell, in an ordinary garden house next to the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Yang Qiu took the coffee handed by Lu Bicheng, and his eyes squinted at the floor clock: "It should start, is there any smoke?" ”

"Well, what kind of cigarettes." Lu Bicheng glanced at him, but he still obediently took out a pack from the bedside table. After the photos of the two of them from their visit to the United States appeared in the newspaper, she bought the house and traveled back and forth between Shanghai and Nanjing. Because the three women tacitly didn't want to pick up this layer of veil, Yang Qiu would often come here to stay.

Lu Bicheng took out a cigarette, picked up a match and lit it for him, and comforted: "Isn't it all arranged?" Don't worry. ”

Yang Qiu rarely talked to Miao Luo about business, and he didn't even mention it in front of Rui Yao, but he always couldn't control his thoughts in front of Lu Bicheng, looking at the woman sitting in front of him who always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I'm not worried about the court, I have asked Guofu and Dong Yongwei to remind them that as long as the finger is pointed at the unconstitutionality of the deed, as long as the evidence is presented, this lawsuit will be won!" Lan Qing (Lu Bicheng's nickname), do you know? In fact, from beginning to end, these are fake, and I planned them, because I am afraid of them! ”

Lu Bicheng's hand shook, and the match that was about to light a cigarette for himself was extinguished instantly. She likes to listen to Yang Qiu, and every time he tells her heart, she always finds another man who is more real. She loves this man to death, so even if she doesn't like politics, she never interrupts. But this time she was a little shocked, because he had never heard of these words, and he never even thought that a man with a million-strong army, defeated Japan across Europe, and actually controlled the country, and he could take the last step as long as he thought about it, he would be afraid!

Yang Qiu pinched the coffee cup to death, and even showed green tendons on the back of his hand, and his voice was low like a beast that had never had a partner and walked alone in the wasteland: "Really! Everyone thought it was for immigration this time. For the right to distribute land, but not at all! The northeast and northwest can accommodate hundreds of millions of people, and there is enough land to dilute the population. It's them that I really want to deal with! Their gentry and clan system are like vampires entrenched in the state, and the bureaucrats in the richest regions of the southeast can be said to be their people! Be. They have cultivated a lot of talents for the country for thousands of years, they are the first group of people to start contact with industry and commerce, and their position in cultural inheritance, education and national progress is indelible, but this country has a population of 40,000 people! 40,000,000 people who are struggling at the bottom, 40,000,000 people who are being treated unfairly! I can't save it, not even with all the strength of the whole country! I can't exhaust my national strength to save them. Maybe you don't believe it, even if they win this time, they are still a group of people who will be squeezed! It's just that the people who oppress them have changed to us. Changed to a country! Because we are not Anglo-French, there are so many colonies. We are not the United States, and everyone who has a lot of land can't fill a thousand acres! We can learn from Germany, but we don't have German culture and industry. But we are a vast country with a population of 40,000, so we are destined to embark on the road of a great power!

But the road is too difficult.

The country is poor, the literacy rate is low, and the idea of small farmers has been passed down for thousands of years. Money is needed for industrialization and urbanization! They can only be accumulated little by little from the blood, sweat, and interests of the peasants. To put it bluntly, it is up to them to use hoes to dig out grain little by little, and breed silkworms, chickens, ducks, fish and pigs. Only by converting these commodities into money can we support the reform. In a country like ours with a very unequal population and resources, industrialization requires astronomical investment. Just like the Yumen side, it will cost at least 200,000 to drill a well. If you drill down, you may not even be able to see the water! If you want to drill an oil well, you have to drill an average of three times to succeed! Therefore, it is very difficult to support workers in the short term, and we can only continue to supplement them from agriculture. Their burden is already great, but they still have to face another exploitation by the gentry and clans! Don't look at how many times the finance and taxation have increased now, and don't look at how hot the industry and commerce are, but how many people in the local area really listen to us? Sometimes a decree from the central government is not as effective as a word from the head of the clan! If we want to carry out socialization reforms, we must first ensure that the top-down government decrees are smooth. You see how many reform decrees have been issued by the central government now, but what are the local governments doing? Rent and interest reductions have been made, and the variable method has added a lot of names. The central government demanded that officials be streamlined, but there were more officials in a county in northern Jiangsu than in the former Qing Dynasty! We want to build a judicial system, and we must be law-based. But those local families are not private courts, and they are careless about people's lives! These clans and gentry have blocked the way of reform by covering the ground with one hand!

This clan is the old system that must be broken! But who can break them? National Society? Army? It's not, it's a group of people they can't think of, it's the mud legs in their eyes, bitter haha. I'm going to get them to their feet. The peasant unions united them to fight. But who knows, I'm just using them! Lan Qing, I'm really afraid, I use the peasant union to smash the clan, who can guarantee that the peasant union will not smash us people in the future? There are only two choices in front of me each time, and then walk on a single-plank bridge in Hesse, which is either bright or ruined the future of this country, so I am afraid. Yang Qiu sat down slowly, his eyes a little dull. He suddenly thought of the confrontation with Sun Wu, and thought that he was forced by Sun Wu to leave Wuchang and embark on such a road as today. Who knows, in fact, what he wants to do most in his heart is to be the simplest soldier? At this moment, he wished that there was another traverser standing in front of him, and the two could discuss the future together and talk about what was in his heart.

Lu Bicheng leaned quietly beside him like a beautiful sculpture, and Yang Qiu did not continue to speak, his eyes fell on the newspaper sent by Fang Rui. He suddenly wanted to meet Cheng Cheng, who only knew his name, this ordinary young man of the YMCA must be very beautiful, right? But he didn't know how dangerous that touch of brilliance would be.

Xuzhou held a peaceful trial, and the two sides came up with their respective evidence after a brief introduction. Huang Yuansheng's face was solemn and solemn, and when he reached the most important stage of presentation, Cheng Cheng, who was destined to exude the most dazzling light in Yang Qiu's eyes, stood up: "Your Excellency, I want to say two words. ”

Huang Yuansheng looked at the jury and nodded.

Cheng Cheng is short, with a figure of less than one meter and six, standing on the stage like a child. This young man who should have a bright future, but volunteered to teach in the weaker areas, and also used nearly half of his income to subsidize students, stood in the center, and he wore a YMCA badge on the left chest of his ordinary suit, which may be the most impressive thing, but it is such a young man. Brought the atmosphere into the most **: "Honorable judge, jury. There are also tens of thousands of my compatriots and brothers and sisters in the audience. Today is an important day, and many people don't even understand what it means, so let me tell you. He took out an ordinary long-term deed. Raised high: "This is a deed, I believe that many people know it, know it, and even sign it themselves!" So I'll tell you what kind of thing this is. It is it that imprisons half of the 40,000,000 people, so that you and your fathers can rest from sunrise to sunset, and toiling to uncover the pot is always clear water and thin porridge. Because tens of millions of children don't get nourishing. I don't get an education, and I'm as short and thin as I am. Because of this, our country, which created the finest porcelain and silk in the world, is considered a second-class citizen. Because China, which was the first to create a commercial civilization, was bound by the land! Because of it. ”

The makeshift courtroom was so quiet that I couldn't even hold my breath for a while. Everyone was stunned by the voice. Maybe some people can't understand the big truth in it, and maybe some people can't understand what the relationship between the deed and the country is, but everyone is surprised that this little young man has such a loud voice and such a broad mind in his body. Wang Zhaoming sat below, in fact, he didn't come to support anyone today, he just wanted to touch the details of this peasant association. Let's see if there is any possibility of cooperation, but when I heard Cheng Cheng's passionate words, it was as if I saw such a person. The figure that wants to surpass but has always crushed the Kuomintang like a towering mountain.

Yang Du, who was sitting diagonally behind, looked at him, smiling playfully at the corners of his mouth. These people really think that Yang Qiu is going to carry out some kind of land reform and want to take advantage of it, but they don't know that people's eyes have already surpassed you too much, and what people want to open is the door of a big country! Cheng Cheng became the center in an instant, countless flashing lights were pointed at him, countless reporters recorded his every sentence as fast as possible, and the translators pricked up their ears and did not dare to slack off. He stroked his hair slightly, straightened it up, and turned around like a devout believer. Bow to the jury and the ** officer, and finally end with a resounding word.

"Maybe no one knows that this contract is actually completely invalid! Because it violates the Constitution of our Republic of China, and violates any and all laws that protect human rights and prohibit any and all imprisoning of personal freedom. So! I implore the ** judge and the jury to find all such contracts in China null and void! Convict all of China who hold such contracts! It is judged that all the imprisoned compatriots in China are free! ”

Astound! Astound! Still shocked!

There is no one who can describe the words heard, and many people are completely unconscious. There will only be one sentence echoing in my mind, the contract is invalid, I am free, I am free! "Haha." The first to sound was the laughter with a crying voice, rough and hoarse, just like every ordinary peasant who has already suffered trauma from hard work, the smile is so simple, the voice is so simple.

There was silence all around, and every pair of eyes was focused on Huang Yuansheng and the jury. They leave the table temporarily and are agreed internally in accordance with the procedure. This process takes 10 minutes, and these 10 minutes are probably the 10 minutes that the whole of China is most concerned about. Ten minutes later they came out, and the gavel struck so hard that all their hearts hung with it. "Now the verdict is pronounced, and the jury unanimously ruled that the plaintiff Subei Peasant Association sued 7,331 defendants for violating the constitution and was established! Invalidate all contracts of a confining nature! It was ruled that the defendant must immediately terminate the contract and restore the freedom of the plaintiff and all the long-term workers, tenant farmers, maids, slaves and others in northern Jiangsu! ”

"Win! We won! ”

"I'm free, haha I can go to immigration! I'm going to have my own field! ”

"Long live the Republic of China! Long live the peasant association. ”

When the verdict fell, the countless long-term workers, peasants, and even maids who sold themselves around waiting for the news suddenly jumped up, laughing, shouting and venting their inner excitement, and the Northern Jiangsu Peasant Association also won the support of the farmers in Northern Jiangsu overnight.

"Won. Mr. Cheng, we won. Hao Chongwen jumped up like a child, the tension and uneasiness completely disappeared at this moment, and hundreds of peasants flocked to Cheng Cheng. On the contrary to them, there are a pair of disappointed, unwilling, helpless and even angry eyes.

In the days that followed, the newspapers were full of the figure of the young man named Cheng Cheng, and all of them were filled with the heroic and loud words that the whole of China remembered: "It is determined that all the imprisoned compatriots in China are free!" "With the promotion and funding of certain people and the national society, and under the public opinion and frenzied spread of news, the peasant association, a new type of organization, grew rapidly and spread its branches. In northern Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu, Anhui, etc., peasant associations began to appear in every province.

In the face of this prairie fire, no one is willing to give up the interests that have become accustomed to nature. After wave after wave of long-term laborers and tenants who had served them and helped them farm and worked hard for their livelihoods emigrated to the northeast and northwest, this restlessness and hatred could no longer be suppressed.

Cheng Cheng rode as usual, and now there is more enthusiasm and enthusiasm in the air of Xuzhou. He is very proud because he has finally done what every YMCA member wants to do, and use his actions to change the fate of the country and the people. Of course, there were also more troubles, such as teaching at the same time, but also to teach Hao Chongwen how to manage the peasant association, after all, this is the peasants' own organization, and the chairman also hopes that they will only serve the peasants more simply.

"Teacher Cheng, I'm here to buy paper again today!" At the door of the small shop, Boss Yang warmly entertained Cheng Cheng, ready to put two bundles of thick jute paper on the frame, he had already made up his mind that he would never collect money from today onwards. But at this moment, a figure suddenly ran by his side and knocked him to the ground, and the bandaged jute paper was immediately scattered on the ground. "Wang Ba Lamb, looking for death" The boss raised his head, and his face froze suddenly after half of the scolding, only to see seven or eight thugs suddenly surround him from all directions, they wore thick black scarves that made it difficult to see their faces, and then one bullet after another shot went crazy into the chest of his most respected teacher Cheng Cheng.

Blood was instantly sprinkled all over the long street, and the whole city was alarmed by the gunshot...... (。 If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
