Chapter 70: The Tan family rushed to a group of young people 4
86_86695 Xu Sanjin, of course, is not called Xu Sanjin. Xu Sanjin, formerly known as Xu Hongwen, is a native of Yiling Prefecture.
Xu Hongwen is a talent in Yiling Prefecture. Thirty years ago, he accepted the invitation of the Tan family and came to the Tan family to be a gentleman sitting in the restaurant, which is what modern people call a tutor. Since then, he has made a home in Tan Jiachong.
At that time, the one who controlled the power of the Tan family was not dead, Tan Yuchun's father Tan Yuanzhang.
Tan Yuanzhang himself is a showman. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Xu Hongwen, a young talent who became a student at a young age. At that time, Tan Yuanzhang hoped that his family would be able to produce a few scholars. However, I don't know if the feng shui of the ancestors is broken, and none of the children of the Tan family have a head that reads. They have been reading books for many years, but one by one, they can't even pass the most basic county exams.
At that time, the young and vigorous Xu Hongwen felt that he should be worthy of Tan Yuanzhang's respect. Therefore, he is quite strict with the children of the Tan family. However, after Tan Yuanzhang found out that his children and nephews had no talent for reading. Tan Yuanzhang's enthusiasm for Xu Hongwen cooled down.
As Tan Yuanzhang grew old and died, Tan Yuchun became the head of the Tan family and the patriarch of the Tan family. After he grasped the power of the Tan family, he began to take revenge on Xu Hongwen, who had been his teacher and often reprimanded him when he was studying in the past.
Xu Hongwen is a foreigner who does not produce and has no power to restrain chickens. He has been in the Tan family for most of his life, without the power of the family to rely on, and his mother has spent decades in the Tan family compound. Therefore, in the face of Tan Yuchun's oppression, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Originally, Xu Hongwen, who had been reluctant to retreat, thought that his forbearance could be exchanged for a peaceful life in the second half of his life. But the human heart is so dark. Tan Yuchun has already suppressed Xu Hongwen very down, and Xu Hongwen has been reduced to a status similar to that of an ordinary servant in the Tan family's compound. However, Tan Yuchun felt that it was not happy enough, and felt that it was not enough.
In the end, Tan Yuchun caught Xu Hongwen stealing three catties of white flour from the Tan family to celebrate his old mother's birthday. Tong Guò his connections in the Jingzhou Mansion revoked Xu Hongwen's fame and forced him to sign a deed. Since then, Xu Hongwen has become a slave tenant of the Tan family, and has also changed from Xu Hongwen to Xu Sanjin among the local population.
As a reader who has read the Four Books and the Five Classics, he can pass the Guò Primary Imperial Examination. Although Xu Sanjin is nearly fifty years old, he has lived a lifetime under the oppression of the Tan family. However, he was educated in feudal culture, and his keen sense of smell on politics still exists. Just when Tan Jiachong, many so-called old adults, was still afraid to wait and see. Xu Sanjin was keenly aware that his chance to turn over had come. At a very early age, he began to actively participate in various activities organized by the working group in Tan Jiachong.
With his ability to read and write, he is somewhat famous among the people of the village. And because he is often with the working group, in the eyes of the villagers, he has a warm relationship with the gentlemen of the working group. Xu Sanjin was elected as the president of the peasant association by the villagers of Tan Jiachong.
Speaking of which, the feudal scholars are indeed at a higher level than the modern people in the industrial age in terms of pondering people's hearts and figuring out people's feelings. Like Wang Shuhui, a modern man, his disciples and subordinates, after less than a year of industrial standard education, also showed a mechanical rigidity in the handling of interpersonal relationships.
The sensitive Xu Sanjin discovered this. He quickly seized the opportunity and began to act as a bridge between the local villagers and the working group.
In the "Work Manual" sent to the working group, Wang Shuhui clearly pointed out that it is necessary to guard against all kinds of speculators, taking advantage of the fact that the working group is a foreigner, monopolizing the communication between the working group and the local people, and acting as a broker.
Under the premise of such a sober understanding, the Tan Jiachong working group did not completely let go of the organization of the peasant association. In addition to a few old men with considerable prestige among the villagers, a few young people who strongly supported the working group but were not selected for the militia for health reasons were also elected to the leadership of the peasant association.
The first thing the peasant association did after its establishment was to organize the members of the peasant association to study.
At the rural work conference, Wang Shuhui pointed out to the members of more than 30 working groups: "The establishment of peasant associations does not mean that the work of the working groups is over. The leaders of the peasant associations who had just been elected and the members who had just joined the peasant associations did not know what the organization of the peasant associations was or what kind of institutions the peasant associations were. The leaders of the peasant associations did not know what to do in the peasant associations. ”
"If not, the peasant association is the organization of the peasants themselves; It is everyone who, under the leadership of the working group, overthrows the local tyrants and inferior gentry and manages themselves by themselves; It is the concept of such a power structure that the peasants themselves call for themselves, and it is clearly explained to everyone. In this case, the peasant association has no significance in its establishment. We will not be able to achieve our goal of establishing peasant associations in the vast countryside to confront and eliminate the lackeys of the government and the power of the landlords and old money. ”
Therefore, after the establishment of the peasant association, the working group should seriously publicize and explain to the leaders of the peasant association and the activists among the members of the peasant association the purpose and significance of our establishment of the peasant association. We should make the more than 30 villages that are the bases for the development of our business www.biquge.info the Biqu Pavilion for us to build a fair and reasonable new world. ”
The members of the Working Group are familiar with the entire Workbook.
During the three-day meeting on the organization and study of peasant associations, Han Liang and Guo Boqi gave detailed explanations and explanations to the cadres elected by the seven Tongguò of the entire Tanjiachong Peasant Association, as well as the activists among the members of more than 40 peasant associations, on the purpose and significance of the establishment of the peasant associations and the nature of the political power of the peasant associations in rural work.
Xu Sanjin was the first to realize that the peasant association was a miniature version of the county yamen. He believed that the peasant association was the yamen in the village, and the militia was the official in the village yamen.
Xu Sanjin's opinion represents the opinion of the majority of the villagers. In fact, in a sense, this view has a certain degree of reasonableness. However, Han Liang and Guo Boqi also made it clear that the new rural regime was fundamentally different from the traditional county yamen.
First, the peasant unions have no leadership and no command. In other words, the cadres of the peasant associations cannot point fingers at the villagers. They only have the right to consult with everyone and call on and lead all villagers to solve problems. To put it bluntly, that is, the cadres of the peasant associations should consult with everyone in the exercise of power.
Second, the peasant unions have the right to organize judicial trials and not to adjudicate. This refers to Wang Shuhui's version of the peasant council, the peasant council has the power to randomly select villagers to form a judicial committee for judicial work in the villages. As for the specific verdict, it is decided by the judicial members of the working group on the basis of the vote of the trial council.
Third, the militia organization of the village is under the dual leadership of the working group and the peasant association. However, the militia captain and militia instructor were also members of the peasant association. In other words, cadres such as the president of the peasant association, as well as the militia captains and instructors, are on an equal footing in the peasant association. The command of the peasant union over the militia could only be achieved through a collective vote of the members of the peasant council.
At the end of the three-day study, most of the members of the peasant association had realized that in the past, it was the landlords and the old wealth, the local tyrants and the inferior gentry, those who had more land, more money, and more manpower, and held the village seals. But this reality, after the local tyrants and inferior gentry, landlords and old wealth were defeated and wiped out, is gone forever.
The idea of Xu Sanjin, who learned through guò, went one step further. He didn't really admire the young members of the working group. But he really admired the Wang Shizun in the mouths of these young people.
In Xu Sanjin's eyes, the peasant association looks as if it has a lot of power and a high status. However, those who are in charge of the peasant associations cannot do anything wrong, nor can they fail to do things. Because, if they don't do anything, they can't reflect the status of peasant union cadres. If you do something wrong, you will endanger your prestige in the village.
Xu Sanjin felt that he, the president of the peasant association, was simply roasted on the fire. Xu Sanjin designed such a system. In other words, organizing the villagers to elect the peasant association, and then using guò to control the judicial power and the militia, and letting the working group hide behind the peasant association and control the entire village, such a system can be described as respecting and fearing.
――Partitioning――
As a matter of fact, Wang Shuhui is completely distrustful of ordinary people who have not received advanced ideological education.
In essence, he agrees with Xunzi's judgment of the inherent evil of human nature. He believes that the Chinese, who have not received a systematic and advanced ideological education, once turned over and seized power. Then, all kinds of despicable and ugly farces will be staged in turn.
Wang Shuhui's view is that before human society entered the era of industrialization, before education was popularized among the whole people. In the various social stages of agrarian society, that is, in the various social stages of primitive, slave and feudal societies. All aspects of human society depend on the leadership of elites.
In other words, in a pre-industrial society, Chinese society was a class society under the leadership of an elite.
In an agrarian society with backward productivity, education cannot be comprehensive, and the power to receive education is controlled by a few. This inevitably puts society in a kind of class contradiction that is either strict or moderate.
Wang Shuhui did not have the ability to directly bring China at the end of the Ming Dynasty into the stage of industrial society.
The industrialization of the country in the last years of the Ming Dynasty was a slow process. He cannot guarantee that in his future political institutions, it will be people who have been educated in advanced ideas to hold power. Therefore, in the current situation, he can only improve the system as much as possible and suppress the outbreak of all kinds of ugly human nature.
In Wang Shuhui's opinion. The organization of peasant unions is an expedient measure to truly decentralize power at the grassroots level to the majority.
In the current rural work, "attract and unite young people, build militias"; "Forming schools to educate and train educated young people"; "Promoting high-quality seeds and scientific planting to ensure a bumper grain harvest" are the three major tasks in Wang Shuhui's eyes
