In the 1626 work plan formulated by the Fuxing Society, the Fuxing Army disarmed all the Ming Dynasty in the Huguang area north of the Yangtze River, transformed all the Ming military guards in Hubei into collective farms, and transformed the original military households into farm workers, which was a point for the Fuxing Society to control the entire Hubei region.

Meng Li, director of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Society, Chen Feng, director of the Administrative Department and director of the Administrative Division of the Administrative Affairs Department, and Zhang Baoshu, deputy chief political commissar of the Military Commission of the Renaissance Association, were very suspicious when discussing this issue with Wang Shuhui, chairman of the Renaissance Association and chief political commissar of the Renaissance Army.

Zhang Baoshu spoke more directly, and he asked Wang Shuhui very bluntly, "Master, I don't understand this policy very well. Although we have established a large number of state farms, we have trained many agricultural workers who have been trained in the production and construction army. However, our land reform policy has distributed land to the people themselves, and this has inspired many people to enthusiastically support us. ”

"Personally, I think that from the point of view of conscription, the unilateral implementation of land reform in the countryside is already very good. The lives of the common people have been guaranteed, the lives of the common people are getting better and better, and the common people will support our rejuvenation more and more. Isn't that great? ”

As the person in charge of the government work of the Renaissance Society, Chen Feng had a lot of concerns when he spoke, and he said to Wang Shuhui from the perspective of administrative work: "Master, I think the land reform policy is also very good. Excluding the consideration of being able to gain public support and other aspects, purely from the perspective of administrative management, cultivating and training the ability of local villagers to participate in and discuss politics through working groups, and then transferring the power of local governance to the peasant associations elected by local villagers, this approach is very conducive to saving administrative costs for our revival association. ”

"From this point of view, farm construction not only requires us to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, but also requires us to spend a lot of time and energy to train the local people in military and cultural affairs, and turn them into production and construction soldiers. Then, it is necessary to train them in industrial agricultural technology and turn them into agricultural workers. From an input point of view, I always felt that the work of building the farm was a bit more than worth the loss. ”

Meng Li, who is in charge of the revival society's party affairs, never speaks first. In the past few years when he was in charge of the post of director of the party committee and presided over the daily work of the Standing Committee of the Reconstruction Association, because of his steady character, many simple-minded and straightforward party comrades called Meng Li, who was less than 30 years old, an old fox.

However, Meng Li's steadiness is entirely due to his own full understanding of party affairs. Don't be in a hurry, don't talk casually. After all, in a sense, Meng Li, as the executive head of the party's highest leadership body, represents the party's will in every move, word and deed.

Therefore, after Zhang Baoshu and Chen Feng finished speaking, he said: "Master, I think that starting from the concept of serving the people, the land reform policy is also very good. For the masses, they really have a few acres of land in their hands, so that they can feel down-to-earth in their hearts. ”

"In our actual work of farm construction, many cadres said that the masses did not show great support for becoming agricultural workers. They are actually more envious of the lives of the villagers in the base villages that have undergone land reform. With regard to the situation in which both production and life are under the control of the farm party committee, the masses' sense of resistance is still quite strong. ”

Historically, many later generations of researchers and amateur history enthusiasts, as well as various "conscientious inventors of history," have had mixed opinions on the party's land reform policy.

As a person who grew up in a higher education and lived in an environment of large state-owned enterprises, Wang Shuhui has his own views on land reform policies.

In his view, the land reform policy is a phased policy within the broad framework of the land state ownership policy. Because the Party did not grasp the state power in the complex and chaotic historical environment at that time, it was unable to comprehensively implement the policy of state-owned land and operate the land as a means of production through the national level. Proceeding from the reality of the revolution in stages, that is, because of the actual needs of the stage from the old democratic revolution to the new democratic revolution, the party carried out the land reform policy in the base areas.

From the perspective of the development of productive forces, the small-scale peasant production mode, in which they do their own work and plough their own land, smell each other and never get along with each other, is actually a very primitive and very backward mode of production.

"Sunrise. Daily income. Sink a well and drink. Plough the fields and eat. What is Dili to me? In fact, it is an imagination of the ideal life of the human beings of the agricultural civilization. In fact, this decentralized, small-scale agricultural production is entirely due to the constraints of the level of development of the productive forces.

After the development of human society to industrial civilization, all industrial countries have carried out active or passive, conscious or unconscious industrialization of agricultural production activities. The "sheep eat man" movement in Britain is a process in which industrial capitalists oppress agricultural production activities, so that agricultural production activities are forced to become a link in the industrial society that provides raw materials for industrial production.

The "sheep eat man" movement was indeed an unimaginably cruel disaster for the peasants of England. However, this movement not only brought Britain's agricultural production into the category of industrialization, but also made a large number of landless peasants have to become industrial workers through this cruel and brutal means, providing sufficient labor for Britain's industrial development.

The United States, which became the world hegemon after the two world wars, broke out in the early stages of industrialization because of the demands of industrialization on agricultural activities.

To turn the slave plantations of the South into pure production of raw materials for the service of industrialization, to liberate the blacks who were bound to the slave plantations into "free men", and then to send them to the industrial enterprises that were even darker and more cruel than the slave plantations to be exploited by the industrial capitalists. Tearing open the skin of liberal democracy, this is the essence of the Civil War.

It was precisely because of the victory of the industrial capitalists in the Civil War that the industrialization process of the United States made great progress. It can be said that without this Civil War, the full industrialization of the United States could not have been achieved. At a certain stage, the younger brother of Britain, the first industrial country in which the United States is the world hegemon, may even continue for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

In Wang Shuhui's view, whether it is a natural social change or a passive change driven by an advanced organization, it will not be a comfortable process for living people in society.

Some people chattered about the damage to agriculture and peasants that occurred in the early days of industrialization in the Soviet Union and China, and sprayed manure and dung. However, in Britain and the United States, all other countries that industrialized under the rhythm of nature, would the process of their industrialization be even more merciful to the peasants at that time?

Later generations of Chinese criticized the people's communization movement. But they don't want to think about the fact that none of the advanced industrial countries has agricultural production activities that are produced by small farmers. Whether it is Britain or the United States, their agricultural production is a large-scale agriculture that uses land as a means of production, and it is a modern agriculture that actively and closely participates in the market economy.

In fact, the People's Public Social Movement is an attempt by the Party to comprehensively implement the state-owned land policy and to use land as a means of production on a large scale under the full understanding of the productive forces and the mode of production
