Compared with the historical time and space of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it can even be said that compared with China from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the 21st century, even in the eyes of modern people, Wang Shuhui's attitude towards China's social transformation is quite rough. 【Reading.com】

Wang Shuhui said very bluntly and repeatedly to those party members who could and could not understand what he meant: "As an organization representing advanced productive forces and production relations, the Revival Association must do two aspects of work for the transformation of Chinese society: One is to spare no effort to promote the industrialization of Chinese society and establish an industrialized China. The other is to completely eliminate the small-scale peasant economy on China's soil and completely drag China out of the quagmire of backwardness in an agrarian society. ”

In fact, in the five years since the establishment of the Revival Society, the Revival Association led by Wang Shuhui has been practicing and implementing his philosophy. With this in mind, the Renaissance Society has been growing and growing over the past five years, and has been constantly eliminating the smallholder economy in the Renaissance Society's sphere of influence.

In the process of land expansion, more than two-thirds of the land was "voluntarily" exchanged by the landlords to the Renaissance Society through the means of "land for capital", "land for technology" and "land for equipment".

On these lands, the Renaissance Society will directly integrate and train the original local peasants, transform them into production and construction troops, and combine them with the production and construction troops that the Renaissance Society has absorbed and trained from all over the country to establish a modern state farm on the spot.

With the help of an advanced system, powerful forces, and a Doraemon who can travel through time and space to provide various resources for this time and space, the construction, operation, and management of state farms have not only caused a lot of trouble in the initial stage of the practice of the Renaissance Society, but after the Renaissance Society has accumulated a lot of experience, this work has begun to become very professional and rapid.

The establishment of a large number of state farms not only changed the identity of the peasants, but also changed their lives. Farmers who had been scattered over a wide area began to live and live in a concentrated manner after becoming agricultural workers on the Funakukai farms. From the perspective of social transformation, the process of promoting specialized, specialized, and modern agriculture by the Renaissance Society objectively also promotes the urbanization process within the entire sphere of influence of the Renaissance Society.

The farms where agricultural workers lived were rapidly being transformed into new towns. The lives of the peasants in these lands have changed dramatically since they became agricultural workers.

A large number of farmland water conservancy construction, a large number of construction machinery and agricultural machinery use, the use of chemical fertilizers, and the requirements of scientific planting have made the agricultural work in the farm begin to put forward higher requirements for these traditional farmers.

Operating construction and agricultural machinery, carrying out infrastructure construction, using chemical fertilizers, and planting scientifically, these tasks are simply not undertaken by ordinary Daming farmers who have not received the training of the production and construction troops of the Fuxing Society.

In these farms, canteens, kindergartens, primary schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, savings banks, health centers, police stations, and other institutions involved in medical and health care, education, administration, finance, military defense, and social order were comprehensively established and managed by the farm party committees and farm branches stationed at the farms. Over the past five years, the Renaissance Association has trained more than 5,000 cadres with elementary and junior high school Chinese proficiency, enriching these institutions.

The administrative center of the Funakukai's sphere of influence has changed from the traditional county towns with county offices to the farms that are now there. The Fuxing Society in the western part of Huguang Province, north of the Yangtze River, has completely hollowed out the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In a certain sense, in the process of eliminating the small peasant economy and transforming the agricultural society into an industrial society, and in the process of constantly transforming the peasants into agricultural workers, the methods and means used by the Revival Society were indeed more moderate than those of the landlords and gentry in the process of converting the peasants into agricultural workers, and their stand was indeed on the side of the interests of the broad masses of peasants.

However, for the peasants who had regained control of their land through the Renaissance Society's land reform, the means by which the Renaissance Society transformed them were actually even more difficult for them to refuse.

The Renaissance Society adopted the means of land reform for those landlords who refused to convert into industrial capitalists by means of land exchange.

In fact, the essence of land reform is not a process of "beating local tyrants and dividing up the land" as the slogan propagated by the Revival Association. The fundamental purpose of "cracking down on local tyrants and dividing up the land" is not actually to distribute the land to the peasants. In fact, the Revival Association is depriving the landlords of their ownership of the land through the method of "beating local tyrants and dividing the land".

Although the landlords' land was later distributed to the peasants for cultivation by the Restoration Society, the peasants themselves did not own the land. They only have the right to use and operate the land allocated to them by the Renaissance Society.

The state-owned ownership of land is one of the core political ideas of the Revival Society. The peasants who were given land by the Revival Society did not actually change from poor hired peasants to yeoman peasants. From a strictly economic point of view, the peasants who did not own the land and had to pay three layers of rent to the Renaissance every year were still hired peasants with no means of production.

But in a practical sense, because the revival will help them bear the imperial grain tax of the Ming Dynasty and carry out a large number of farmland and water conservancy construction, the lives of the peasants have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.

Gu Junen once sharply expressed his views on land reform. He said to Niu Jinxing at the time: "The small people have indeed benefited from the land reform. But it seems to me that these people are still just carrying work for others. It's just that in the past they carried the work for the little squires, but now they carry the work for the Revival Society. In the end, they were just lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted master. In fact, they are just a different person to carry the work. ”

In fact, we really can't say that what Gu Junen said is a lie. For the Renaissance Society, the fundamental purpose of land reform was to realize the transformation of the ownership of land as a means of production, that is, to transform the land from the hands of the landlords to the hands of the Renaissance Society.

The revival will control the land and the landlords will control the land. Both the landlords and the Revival Society operated the land, a means of production, for profit. The biggest difference between the Fuxing Society and the landlords is that in addition to investing most of the profits obtained by the Fuxing Society through land management, it will also return a considerable part of the profits to the peasants as welfare.

Of course, from a modern point of view, the relationship between the Revival Society and the farmers who cultivated the land of the Revival Society was very unequal. After all, the Revival Society completely controlled all the peasants on the land of the Revival Society just by paying for the right to use the land.

The Renaissance deprived the peasants of custody of their children, making it necessary for them to hand them over to the Renaissance Society for education.

The Renaissance Society deprived the peasants of the right to buy and sell grain, and they had to sell it to the Renaissance Society (the Renaissance Society purchased grain at a price higher than the market price).

The Renaissance Society controlled the economic income of the peasants, so that the peasants had to deposit their savings in the Renaissance Bank (the Revival Society gave interest).

The Renaissance controlled the peasants' freedom of consumption, so that the peasants could only buy the products of the Renaissance Society (this is also a hidden method, only the Renaissance Society in the world can produce industrial products in large quantities).

More importantly, the Revival Society is also constantly invisibly eradicating these small family farmers.

The combination of land use rights and household registration means that for each non-agricultural population in a peasant household, the land cultivated by the peasant family will be reduced accordingly.

As more and more children of farmers in the base villages go to school, join the army, enter factories, and enter farms (the Revival Society has formulated a skewed policy in this regard), once the peasants who are already forty or fifty years old pass away, the base villages that are themselves in a minority in the area of influence of the Revival Society will gradually be transformed into state-owned farms by the Renaissance Society.

After all, Wang Shuhui's ideal is to completely transform Chinese society into a dual structure of industrial cities and industrial farms
