Chapter 68: The Tan family rushed to a group of young people 2
86_86695 "In the population of the world, there are nine layers of poor brothers who are suffering, and one layer of people is rich and powerful landlords. The people who controlled the yamen also came out of the old wealth of the landlords at this level. The reason why the landlord Lao Cai was able to control the yamen was because they had read books and had culture. Why can't the poor brothers who are suffering become officials, because the poor brothers have no education and no education. β
"However, what does the landlord rely on to be able to read, be educated, and be an official. They rely on the support of us, the poor brothers who occupy nine layers of the world. The landlords and old fortunes relied on exploitation and plundering of us poor brothers, usury, and high land rents, so that they could study and learn culture. They have studied, learned culture, and become officials, and instead of seeking benefits for us poor brothers, they use the power in their hands to exploit and plunder us poor brothers even more viciously. β
"Why the landlord Lao Cai is a bad guy is reflected here. They want to ride on the heads of our poor brothers for generations to come. β
"Therefore, the sixth point of rural work is to comprehensively carry out cultural and educational work in the rural areas under our control and for the poor brothers."
"Someone said that the poor brothers are of different ages, and there are many people who are not good at thinking, and they don't like to read and write, so what should I do?"
"My plan for cultural and educational work in rural areas is as follows. In addition to the need to carry out formal school education in various villages, teaching young people over the age of seven and under the age of 20 to read. It is also necessary to carry out the work of night schools for peasants. β
"So what if people don't like to come to study, my opinion is this. It is necessary to use various methods flexibly to attract people to read. For example, the agricultural tools we distribute are now only distributed to the families of militia families. Since everyone likes good farm tools, it is necessary to combine the issuance of farm tools with reading and literacy. For example, if you can write 20 words and count 20 numbers, you can give him a farm tool. β
"There are a lot of farm tools for work. Shovels, rakes, hoes and other farm tools, if you want to take them all, you must be able to write a hundred words and count a hundred numbers. β
"If you combine such things that are closely related to the interests of the poor brothers with reading and literacy, I think everyone is still willing to go to the night school to listen to classes, and to know a few more words and check a few more numbers."
"In addition, everyone should also pay attention to the fact that only those who are literate and can even get a primary school diploma can serve as village heads and presidents of peasant associations. I want to make this question clear to everyone. Now these village chiefs and peasant association presidents can be elected by everyone. However, after a year, those who want to become the president of the peasant association or the head of the village will not be able to run for election without passing the examination and obtaining a literacy diploma. β
"I think with this, there will be more people who can take the initiative to study in night school."
Wang Shuhui spoke for a long time, and the students below also took notes for a long time. After Wang Shuhui drank some water and rested for a few minutes, he began to talk about the last key point of rural work.
"Seventh, we must undertake the basic construction work in the rural areas."
"What kind of work is the infrastructure work in the countryside? To sum up, there are actually three, repair canals, dams, and roads. β
"In the past, when we didn't defeat the local tyrants and inferior gentry, the infrastructure construction in the countryside was quite bad. The roads are narrow and muddy, and the dam is in disrepair. It is also common for there to be no canals or for them to be silted up and abandoned. The local tyrants and gentry oppressed the poor brothers and lived a life of poverty and luxury, but they completely ignored the situation of the canals, roads and ponds and dams in the village. There are a few squires who claim to be benevolent and will also build some roads. But they are not here to serve the poor brothers, but to 'accumulate yin virtue' for themselves. β
"Now, the place where our battalion is in control cannot be like this. Large-scale construction is not possible at this stage, but for the existing roads, dams and canals, we must organize militias, mobilize poor brothers, and use the spare time to maintain and rebuild them. β
"We're going to talk the talk. Repair canals, dams, roads, although these facilities are ultimately for the benefit of the poor brothers, but I have to pay for it. When you go down there to organize the infrastructure work, don't be afraid of running out of money. The battalion will arrange for special statisticians to come to you, and pay the masses participating in the construction on time and in accordance with the number of people and targets. β
The rural work conference started at 7 o'clock in the morning, and it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, except for a lunch at noon, which took half an hour. Both Wang Shuhui and the members of the Agricultural Committee and the Rural Working Group who attended the meeting were already feeling a little exhausted.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Shuhui said to everyone, "All in all, at this stage, the rural work in the entire area controlled by our big camp revolves around: establishing peasant association organizations; building militias; advocacy work; anti-bandit and anti-theft work; cooperative-building work; cultural and educational work; These seven key points are carried out in infrastructure construction. β
"That's all for today's meeting, after the meeting, we will distribute the "Rural Work Key Points Handbook", which has specific practices and requirements for each point. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will discuss and study the "Handbook on Key Points of Rural Work." Alright, now the meeting is adjourned, let's eat. β

Tan Jiachong is actually not very far from the straight-line distance of Wangfu Town. It's just that because there is a big mountain and two lakes between Wangfu Town and Tanjiachong, if you want to go from Wangfu Town to Tanjiachong, you have to walk for a day.
One evening in July 1620, a group of young people came to Tanjiachong against the backdrop of the sunset. The same group of young people waited at the entrance of the village. When they saw the comers, they trotted up to meet them.
Those who came to Tanjiachong were led by Han Liang, the 18-year-old team leader, and Guo Boqi, the 19-year-old deputy team leader, and the Tanjiacun working group. Those who came over were under the leadership of captain Jiang Dazhuang and instructor Yang Sanhei, and members of the Tan Jiachong militia.
Seeing the two groups of young people greeting each other affectionately, some of the old adults who were watching next to them showed relieved expressions on their faces.
The basic situation of Tan Jiachong is similar to that of Osmanthus Tree Village. Speaking of which, in an agrarian society, the situation in each village is not very different for the most part. Tan Jiachong, which has several hundred people, has an arable land area of more than 4,000 mu. Most of the land was in the hands of a squire named Tan Yuchun.
If you want to talk about special places, Tan Jiachong does have more special places. Originally, Tan Jiachong was a settlement of the Tan family. However, over the past few hundred years, the continuous floods and droughts and various plagues have greatly diluted the population surnamed Tan in Tan Jiachong. By now, this Tan Jiachong is actually not worthy of his name. People with foreign surnames who came from all over the country have become the majority of Tan Jiachong, and the families surnamed Tan account for at most one-fifth of the entire village.
However, even though the Tan family only has more than 50 people, because Tan Yuchun's wife is Ma Songhua's distant aunt, Tan Yuchun hugged the thigh of the Ma family, the first wealthy family in Zhijiang, and relied on Ma Songhua's power to be unscrupulous in the Tan family.
Half a month ago, Han Liang led the working group to Tanjiachong. During the attack on the Tan family's compound, all the people with foreign surnames enthusiastically participated. Even, the members of the working group only shot a round of crossbow arrows, and most of the rest of the things were done spontaneously by the local people.
After confiscating the Tan family's land, exempting everyone from usury, and distributing food and land to everyone. The villagers of Tan Jiachong have unimaginable enthusiasm for their support for the work of the working group. Tan Jiachong's militia team is also the largest of more than 30 base villages. The total number reached fifty people. Had it not been for the fact that the Working Group did not admit children under the age of 15, the number might have doubled.
Both the working group and the militia were made up of young people, and the lively young people walked to the station of the working group, which was talking and laughing.
Tan Jiachong's village committee, like other base villages, is set up in the home of the village's landlord Lao Cai. Taking the Tan family compound as an example, the working group, the village school, the militia, and the almshouse, the locations of these institutions are all in the Tan family compound.
On the way to the compound, many naughty young students kept looking at the four ** cars that followed the working group. A few of the brave ones ran to the cart, trying to see what was in the cart.
Unlike other villages, Tan Jiachong's militia construction level is higher than that of other base villages. Tan Jiachong's militia members all lived with the working group in the barracks of the Tan family's compound. Their daily routine consisted of training in the morning, going home to work in the afternoon, and going back to the barracks in the evening to attend classes. Therefore, after returning to the Tan family's compound, Jiang Dazhuang and Yang Sanhei came to Han Liang's house to report the situation.
"What's going on in the village lately?" Han Liang asked as he poured water for the two of them.
Instructor Yang Sanhei didn't speak, and Jiang Dazhuang, who was quick to speak, immediately said, "As soon as the gentlemen left, those thieves of the Tan family tossed. That sour old dog is Tan Laocai's cousin, the old thing named Tan Yuqing, who is shouting all over the village. What do you say, everyone divided the Tan family's grain and land, and relied on the Tan family's accounts, which is a violation of the king's law and a rebellious business. As soon as he shouted like this, several old men in the village were confused. They came to us and persuaded us to stop, so that we should not go down the dark road with the gentlemen. Xu Donkey on our team also had a fight with his father, and his father said that he didn't recognize him as a son. β
"That's right. I saw that Xu Donkey was happy just now, as if the love was not bad. Han Liang said with a smile.
"That's right, Xu Donkey is such a stubborn person. His father said that he didn't recognize him, what did he say. He said that it was better not to recognize him, and he wanted to be a son to Wang Shizun. He said that Wang Shizun gave him food and drink, shelter and clothing, and paid money, which was much better than his own father treating him. He wants to be a son to Master Wang. Hey, hey, hey, he recently gave himself a new name, what is Wang Xiaozi. But everyone still calls him a donkey. He was so angry that he shouted everywhere. Ha ha. β
After Jiang Dazhuang finished saying this, he also felt funny, so he kept laughing.
Guo Boqi, the deputy leader of the South Korean Lianghe Working Group, also felt funny when he heard this, and the whole room was filled with the laughter of Jiang Dazhuang, Yang Sanhei, Han Liang and Guo Boqi
