Chapter 160: The Struggle of Reactionaries and Revolutionaries 4

86_86695 "The people organize by us. It is up to us to organize the people and bring them down. If you don't fight anything reactionary, it won't fall. This is also the same as sweeping the floor, the broom is not reached, and the dust does not run away on its own as usual. ”

-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "It is Necessary to Resolutely Eliminate a QiΔ“ Reactionary"

The cost of locally produced products, whether they are agricultural products or industrial products, is much higher than that of modern products brought by Wang Shuhui TongguΓ² Time and Space Gate. However, Wang Shuhui still tries to use local products produced in Jiangbei Industrial Zone as much as possible.

For example, canvas is used a lot in disaster relief. The local canvas produced by the Jiangbei Textile Mill is of modern level because of the equipment used. Therefore, the locally produced canvas is not only relatively thin, but also the waterproof effect is not very good. Compared with local canvas, modern canvas is the cheapest coarse canvas, the quality is better than that of local production, and the price is cheaper.

However, in order to promote the development of the space-time industry, Wang Shuhui supported the construction of the space-time industry. He still used a lot of Jiangbei canvas. Of course, he also brought back some modern products from modern times to supplement the inevitable shortfall.

It took two days for the temporary carpentry workshop to be set up, and after some local refugees like Liu Axe, who could carpenter work, initially became familiar with the use of steam saws, they began to provide relatively rough wooden tent pillars for the refugee camp in batches. The continuous flow of equipment and materials from Jiangbei Industrial Zone has also begun to be effectively utilized.

Less than half a month's work. The 16,000-person refugee camp has been completely renewed.

Liu Axe signed a labor contract with the Fuxing Association (what he considered to be the identity deed) and had a new job and identity. The most notable change was that instead of wearing the pocket robe, which symbolized the refugees, he wore the same style as the Ba'ath Army soldiers, but in the same color as the blue uniform of the Ba'ath workers.

And Wu Chaoye, who is also a refugee, has not changed much in his identity. However, he also saw his son, who was studying in a youth camp with a plaster cast on his arm.

In half a month, all the refugees were divided into several parts. More than 2,700 children under the age of 15 were organized into juvenile camps. Basic military training is conducted in the morning every day, and cultural classes are conducted in the afternoon and evening.

A total of 3,900 young people over the age of 15 and under the age of 25 were organized into youth camps. Basic military training is carried out every morning, labor is participated in in the afternoon, and cultural classes are studied in the evening.

A total of 5,300 people over the age of 25 and under the age of 35 were organized into engineering battalions. Basic military training is carried out every morning, labor is attended in the morning and afternoon, and literacy is studied in the evening.

Over the age of thirty-five, a total of 2,200 people, were organized into logistics battalions. Cohort training is performed every morning. In the morning and afternoon, I take on auxiliary work such as cleaning and laundry. In the evening, I listened to the propaganda class of the Renaissance Army and watched educational dramas.

Due to the small number of female victims, with the exception of girls under the age of 15 who attend classes in the camp and young people under the age of 25 who attend the training of nurses in the health sector, all the remaining are assigned to the logistics department, which is responsible for the cooking of the entire camp.

Half of the logistics supply for the entire refugee camp and the 9th and 10th battalions of the Revival Army was borne by the Renaissance Association, and half was supplemented by Wang Shuhui from modern times.

After half a month, after completing the basic construction of the refugee camp and conducting basic military training for all the refugees, 3,000 Fuxing Society production and construction soldiers who had completed the basic training arrived in Songzi County by boat. Under their leadership, the refugees in the engineering camp began to work on the farm.

Although most of the refugees felt that it was inexplicable for the APA to carry out large-scale planning, leveling, and transformation of arid land. However, by the time the basic renovation of the five large farms had been completed, the ditches and waterways made of cement had been completed a month later. A large steam water lifting station built by the engineering corps along the river was also built.

When the clear water of the river was lifted from the river to a high pond by the steam lifting station, and the water from the large pool flowed down the channel into the ditches of the five farms, and from the ditches into the ridges of the fields where corn, sweet potatoes and potato seedlings (all of which were cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops) had been planted, everyone who participated in the labor could not help but cheer.

Yes, in the drought of Yan zhΓ²ng, in vain tidying up the land and planting seedlings in despair, suddenly I saw that the Renaissance Army had introduced the river water into the farmland by a miraculous means. How could the victims of the disaster, who had worked so hard, not let out earth-shattering cheers. All workers will cheer for the fruits of their labor.

The cheering victims have long forgotten that the land of the five large farms with a total area of nearly 150,000 mu is owned by the owner. These lands are not someone else's, but the land of Wu Chaozong, the largest landowner in Songzi County.

(Summer maize in Hubei is generally sown in early June and harvested in late September.) The seeds are sown at the end of July and harvested in late October. οΌ‰

"Fourth brother, do you want to be that farm worker?" After taking a literacy class, on the way to the toilet, Wu Chaoye met a distant relative of himself in the next team. Before he could greet him, the guy who was two years younger than Wu Chaoye secretly asked him.

Because there is a rule in the refugee camp that you are not allowed to visit casually, this relative of Wu Chaoye seems a little sneaky when talking to him.

"Lao Jiu, what do you think?" Wu Chaoye asked Wu Lao Jiudao rhetorically.

While walking towards the toilet with Wu Chaoye, Wu Laojiu whispered: "It's good that I heard what those soldiers said. Although they are tenants in the same way, they are tenants of the Revival Society, and their lives are obviously much better. ”

After saying this, Wu Laojiu looked around cautiously, and said to Wu Chaoye in a smaller voice: "It's okay for others." We are all members of the Wu family, but we know what kind of person the Taiye (Wu Chaozong) is. This revival will take over his land, can he just forget it? I'm afraid that the tenants of this revival society will not be able to do well! ”

Wu Laojiu's words silenced Wu Chaoye. To be honest, he wished that it was best for Wu Chaozong to die. I owe him a few hundred taels of silver, and I can't pay it back in my lifetime. However, what Wu Laojiu said is also very reasonable. As far as Wu Chaoye knows, Wu Chaozong's ruthlessness is much more powerful than in the new drama of the Fuxing Society.

He nodded and said to Wu Laojiu: "Lao Jiu, keep your mouth shut, it's best not to show that we and Wu Chaozong are members of the same clan." The revival will have a grudge against the grandfather. I'll think about it again. I don't have a certain number in my mind. ”

At night, Wu Chaoye, who lined up to wash his face and feet, brushed his teeth with coarse salt with a toothbrush (the bristle product is quite poor) distributed by the Fuxing Association, and Wu Chaoye, who was lying on the bed (bamboo row bed), couldn't sleep.

Two days ago, the Revival Association issued a recruitment announcement to the entire engineering battalion. Five farms are about to start hiring farm workers. The conditions offered by the revival will be very good. For the house, food, clothing, and monthly wages. At the end of the year, there is a dividend of 1,000 catties of fine grain, and you can ask for grain and silver. Medical care and schooling are all managed by the farm.

As for the matter of recruiting agricultural workers, everyone's views are mostly the same. Everyone thought that this was the time for the revival to recruit tenants. But it was really strange to be a tenant of the Revival Society. I haven't heard of anyone's tenants who can manage housing, food, clothing, and pay wages every month. However, the owner often tries to peel the skin from the tenants. As for the year-end dividends and medical treatment, everyone has never heard of them.

Wu Chaoye had heard of the saying that there was a clan in the clan. But he's only heard of it, and he's never really seen it, whose children have gone to that clan.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of unbelievable thing will not be believed. However, the other party is the Revival Society, so this becomes extremely likely. Because every move of the Revival Society is incredible.

Everyone talked about it in private. The old men who have lived all their lives say that they have never seen a big family take care of the affairs of the people so much in a catastrophic year. Some old men have heard that in the past good years, there seems to be a large family giving porridge. But I have never heard of a place like the Revival Society, where people can control their food, clothing, literacy, and theaters. In the words of an old man, "Literacy, that's the business of superior people, are we worthy of these mud-legged people?" ”

However, if you can't learn five words a day, you won't be able to eat the next day. This punishment makes everyone now write dozens of words and count thirty or fifty.

As for the rest, it's even more bizarre. What firewood eats big fire ox (steam tractor), what smokes big water wheel (steam water lifting station), what turns earth into stone (cement), and other things that are eye-opening and somewhat daunting, plus the wealth of the revival society (iron walls are made of iron, iron tools everywhere, etc.). Now the Revival Society says that it will recruit such tenants, and this kind of thing is really very possible for the Revival Society.

In comparison, it is not surprising that everyone takes time out every day to line up and walk in the right direction.

Wu Chaoye's thoughts are the same. Although he has a few acres of land in his own house. However, the life of the yeoman farmer is really sad. What's more, whether those few acres of land are now considered their own is also very problematic. Because his family already owes Wu Chaozong a few hundred taels of silver, once Wu Chaozong returns to the countryside, there will be no shadow of his land.

In Wu Chaoye's life, the most enviable thing is actually the fact that the children of Wu Chaoye's family are literate. However, in the entire Wu family, only Wu Chaozong and a few clansmen who were close to him could study. I don't have this opportunity.

Now, not only can his son study in the Revival Society, but he can also read and write with the GIs. Wu Chaoye was very grateful for the kindness of the Revival Society.

His squad leader, the seventeen-year-old soldier, said it so well. "Literacy, not for anything else, just don't be blind and deceived by the landlords and old money." Wu Chaoye used to just think that reading was noble, but now he feels that reading is very useful. How did he owe a few hundred taels of silver to the Wu Chaozong family, if he could count and settle accounts in the past, it is likely that there would be no such thing.

Hatred for Wu Chaozong and gratitude for the Fuxing Society, these two completely different feelings tormented Wu Chaoye. He couldn't sleep as he tossed and turned in bed. The people who slept on either side of him were woken up by him.

In the end, Wu Chaoye finally made up his mind. He got out of bed, put on his straw sandals, and shouted loudly, "Report! I have something to report to the class leader! ”

"I often tell everyone to believe in the masses and the organization. You see, the masses are the most conscientious. Isn't this Wu Chaoye just a bright-eyed and clear-hearted masses! At the meeting of the Disaster Relief Construction Committee, Wang Shuhui said to all the cadres attending the meeting.

"Do we have a personal vendetta with the landlords and the old wealth? Do I have a personal vendetta between Wang Shuhui and the landlords and old wealth? No, neither. We, the Revival Society, are here to save the people. Specific to the environment of Songzi County, we are going to fight drought and provide disaster relief. The most important thing in drought relief is to ensure that the local people can eat. Where this rice comes from depends on us leading the masses in our county to grow it on the land of our county. ”

Wang Shuhui looked around the venue with his eyes. Seeing that all the cadres were listening attentively to his speech, he continued: "Once this is determined, our next step will be clear. The output of the five large farms, according to our practice in Zhijiang, can only guarantee the food supply of about 20,000 people. ”

"So, how do we solve the problem of a steady stream of people being drawn to the camps? We can only lead the masses to open up and build more large-scale farms. ”

"In this case, we have to face a problem. The land in Songzi County belongs to the landlords in the county. The land we occupy on the farm belongs to theirs. ”

"Two days ago, some comrades said to me that landlords are not all bad people, but there are also good landlords. Then this time, I am ready to listen to the opinions of these comrades, and I am ready to send people to the county town to negotiate with the landlords. Our Rejuvenation Association will pay for these landowners to buy these lands and cultivate them for the Songzi people to make a living. ”

"Let's take a look this time, in Songzi County, or the whole world, whether there are good landlords who have grown people's hearts, have kindness, and care about the lives of the people!"

"I will not deliberately buy their land according to the price of the land in the disaster year, I will bid these landlords according to the price of the high-quality paddy fields in the Jiangnan area. This time, you can take a look at what kind of faces these landlords and old fortunes are! ”

In the Revival Society, there are absolutely very few people who can say things like "landlords are not necessarily bad people." Specifically, only two people can say such things. One is Niu Jinxing, and the other is Gu Junen. Song Xiance, who is also a consultant, would not say such a thing. Because Song Xiance was only a little better than the yeoman farmer, he was born in a small landlord family who also had to participate in labor.

Originally, Song Xiance went to the Beijing Division and went to the position of the commander of Jingzhou Wei for the activities of the Fuxing Society. Niu Jinxing went to Jingzhou to help the Fuxing Society communicate with the Jingzhou prefect. Only Gu Junen went to Songzi County with Wang Shuhui this time.

To be honest, Gu Junen was very dissatisfied with the ignorance of the Songzi gentry. He has been in the revival meeting for more than half a year, and he already knows Wang Shuhui's style of acting. This person pays attention to "people don't offend me, I don't offend people." If anyone sins against me, he will destroy all his doors. ".

After more than half a year of contact with Wang Shuhui, Gu Junen had a vague feeling. He felt that Wang Shuhui did not have any personal dissatisfaction with the landlord. He found that Wang Shuhui had an even more fearful attitude towards the landlords: Wang Shuhui didn't seem to treat the landlords as human beings.

He felt that in Wang Shuhui's eyes, the landlords and gentry seemed to be pigs, dogs, and beasts. After the death of several workers, Wang Shuhui will be distressed. But killing the landlord, Wang Shuhui seemed to be as calm as killing a few chickens.

Wang Shuhui is like a bodhisattva who saves suffering and saves ordinary people. For those displaced people and the children of those farmers, Wang Shuhui cares for them meticulously. As for the landlords and gentry, Wang Shuhui thinks that it seems to be a very common thing to exterminate them.

Gu Junen saw with his own eyes that Wang Shuhui taught the cadres who implemented the plan of "clearing out the bandits, eliminating the landlords, and establishing base villages". Wang Shuhui said to a battalion commander: "The landlord's reactionary existence is not only to kill him and finish the matter, but we must resolutely eradicate them." Their wives, their parents, and their children, although they are not directly involved in the plundering and oppression of the people, are enjoying the fruits of these plundering and oppression. ”

"You see those little children feel pitiful, and they can't do it. Then let me ask you, didn't these little children grow up drinking the blood of the people and eating the flesh of the people? You pity the landlords, don't you pity the countless children and grandchildren of the working people who died of hunger and poverty! ”

Gu Junen listened to what Wang Shuhui said at that time, and had a feeling as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. It is difficult for him to associate this calm man who asks the cadres to cut down the roots of the landlords with the young man who is kind to the workers in his daily life, who cares for the displaced people, and who is approachable to the cadres.

Gu Junen remembered the calm look in his eyes every time Wang Shuhui mentioned the landlords and gentlemen, and it was hard to imagine how many landlords and gentry would be slaughtered by the whole family among the hand.

After arriving in Songzi County, Gu Junen also hoped that the gentry in Songzi County would have some eyes and not look for death by themselves. Unexpectedly, this group of bands actually took the initiative to attack the soldiers of the Revival Army who were helping the victims. At that time, Gu Junen knew that Wang Shuhui had already pressed his hand on the handle of the butcher's knife.

Even so, Gu Junen also hoped that Wang Shuhui would be able to open up and treat the gentry in Songzi County with less violent methods. Originally, he had little hope, but at a meeting, he put forward the idea that "not all landlords are bad people". Unexpectedly, several cadres agreed with his viewpoint.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Shuhui decided to give these landlords in Songzi County a chance.

Looking at Gu Junen, who was sitting next to him, with an excited expression on his face, Wang Shuhui let out a sneer in his heart.

Wang Shuhui knew that the reason why reactionaries were reactionaries was because they would not repent.

He was convinced that the landlords of Songzi County would make a vivid negative teaching material for all the soldiers and cadres
