The land reform in Shuangyang and Hualiu officially began after the end of the parliament.

The parliamentarians were divided into two groups, the land reform on Hualiu's side was presided over by Xu Wenchang, and Xie Niancheng was on Shuangyang's side.

Because most of the Xie family's land is in Shuangyang, sixty percent of the councilors chose to go to Shuangyang to watch the land reform.

On January 5, seeing the high-spirited Xie Niancheng, Zhao Changzhi, the magistrate of Shuangyang County, was in a complicated mood.

No one could have imagined that in less than two years, Xie Niancheng, a young man who was notorious in Shuangyang in the past, would create such a big situation!

As far as he knows, he is the only one still in office among the 113 counties under the control of the revolutionary army.

"It's a shame that I still boast that I don't meet it, it seems that I have it in my arms but don't know it...... Alas, I can't even look at the person accurately, what else is there to say? ”

Zhao Changzhi thought that he agreed to his daughter and Xie Niancheng's divorce, and he was a little unhappy.

However, in front of everyone's eyes, he still packed up his mood and introduced the situation of Shuangyang County to the councilors:

"Shuangyang County has a land area of 1.65 million mu, of which 890,000 mu is cultivated land, the population is 850,000, and the per capita cultivated land is less than 2 mu, and the market price per mu of cultivated land now ranges from 50 to 220 oceans."

After Zhao Changzhi finished talking about the general situation, the head of the land reform working group sent here by the National Salvation Association came to power, and he spoke in much more detail than Zhao Changzhi's:

"Of the 890,000 mu of land in Shuangyang County, there should have been 150,000 mu of public land such as official land, camp field, military tun field, and school field, but now 120,000 mu of it has been encroached upon by private individuals. The Agrarian Reform Working Group has issued a notice. It is required that the land be cleared within this month, and that after the land is cleared, it will be sold to farmers at market prices. ”

"The rest of the land. The landlords, who account for 5 percent of the population of Shuangyang, occupy 580,000 mu of land, and the rest of the people, who account for 95 percent of the population, only have 160,000 mu of land, and the landlords of Shuangyang collect 60 percent or 70 percent of the tenants' rent. ”

"Our land reform plan is as follows:"

"In the first stage, the abolition of slavery by the government was carried out and the personal freedom of all servants was restored. Collect gold and silver, organize peasant associations, and rectify law and order in the countryside. Establishment of ad hoc courts. As long as someone reports it, we will investigate it thoroughly; As long as the evidence is conclusive, we will pursue it to the end, and there is no time limit. Presently. We have received 845 reported cases. We are making every effort to investigate and will deal with it in a timely manner. Resolutely fight against bullies and bandits. ”

"In the second stage, a thorough investigation is carried out to determine the ownership of the land, and all the land is owned in the name of the land deed."

"In the third stage, the land received by the government will be sold to those who apply to purchase the land, and the land certificate will be issued."

After the head of the land reform working group said this, the sensible parliamentarians immediately understood.

"Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless!"

This land reform carried out by the revolutionary army. From a moral point of view, it is good to say in the parliament: "It's up to you whether you sell it or not." It's impossible to object.

But in reality?

Each county sent a working group for land reform, which was jointly formed by people from the National Salvation Congress, the Bureau of Statistics, the Revolutionary Army, the police, and the peasant associations.

The parliamentarians know it.

Among the landlords in the rural areas, especially the big landlords, there are almost no landlords who have not oppressed the peasants for decades, and it can even be said that most of the landlords have blood debts in their families!

The purpose of doing this is to get the landlord to hand over the land obediently!

The parliamentarians are also very well-informed, and they are also eyeliner among the thousands of students who save the Congress. The vice president, Xu Wenchang, shouted many times that the members of the Salvation Congress should dare to kill and kill more; Where the landlords and bandits dare not obey the order, they can be shot directly; If anyone dares to save the Congress, then ask the revolutionary army to kill the whole family.

The parliamentarians were naturally skeptical of this, and now as soon as the group leader finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked at Xie Niancheng.

The life and death of hundreds of thousands of people are just a thought of this young man!

Xie Niancheng saw the somewhat frightened eyes of the parliamentarians, and also said secretly: "You people, it's better to be interesting, I don't want to be called a butcher." ”

Xie Niancheng said: "In the past, the responsibility for many bad things is not in any one person, the responsibility is in the whole society...... Therefore, I hereby declare that there are many things, except for a few heinous crimes, which should not be pursued. ”

"I put forward two principles, one is 'only punish the evildoers, and never ask questions', among the bandits, except for the leaders and those who owe blood debts, the others should not be held accountable; the second is 'do not sit together', maybe some bullies have committed serious crimes, and not shooting them is not enough to make the people angry, and this situation will not harm the family."

These words were recorded by the high-level leaders of the National Salvation Association who came to Shuangyang, and this has also become the core spirit of the entire Sichuan land reform.

"Now, what stage of land reform in Shuangyang has been?"

Xie Niancheng was determined to carry out land reform, and Shuangyang's work was naturally going on before the parliament was convened.

In Xie Niancheng's plan, if the legislators oppose land reform, he will eventually do it. However, if there is that kind of land reform, it is estimated that the entire Sichuan will be killed like a river of blood, and there will be no three or five hundred thousand heads, and it will not be changed!

"The land of Shuangyang has reached the third stage."

"You tell us the whole situation."

"In the preliminary work, the Shuangyang Land Reform Working Group sorted out 150,000 acres of public land; suppressed 46 bullies and bandits, and confiscated 100,000 acres of land; 410,000 acres of land purchased from the private sector; At present, the working group has a total of 660,000 mu of land; A total of 390,000 peasants applied to purchase land; The working group is now in the process of purchasing land for them; In the next three years, farmers who have acquired land will contribute 50% of their output and provide labor according to the amount of land they have acquired; Our policy is that five acres of land produce one laborer; Therefore, in the next three years, the land reform farmers in the entire Shuangyang County can provide at least 100,000 laborers to participate in production activities outside of agriculture! ”

"We have contacted the comrades of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and German experts have led a team to Shuangyang to carry out the planning of roads and industrial zones, and as soon as the land reform is completed, we can start to build roads and schools."

"Good, very good!"

Xie Niancheng is very satisfied with Shuangyang's work.

"Did you hear that? In Shuangyang County alone, 100,000 people can participate in the construction...... Of course. Shuangyang is an upper-class county, with more people and land, but on average. At least five million people in Sichuan can be transferred from agriculture. With so many people, whether it is building roads or opening mines and factories, there is no problem in terms of manpower. ”

The parliamentarians sincerely admire Xie Niancheng!

The revolutionary army's land reform plan is really too clever.

This land reform, if it is all carried out like Shuangyang, in fact, only bandits, old warlords, and bullies will suffer; It is beneficial to landlords, yeoman farmers, and tenant farmers.

Someone began to ask, "Commander Xie." You have a lot of land, can you tell us how to deal with it? ”

Xie Niancheng motioned for the leader of the working group to speak.

The team leader said loudly: "Shuangyang Xie family, dismiss one hundred and twenty-two slaves. 61,000 acres of land were sold, 330 kilograms of gold and 3.8 million yuan were handed over; The government will pay the Xie family a total of 15 million yuan in cash for the land and currency change! ”

Don't look at so many properties that have only been exchanged for such 15 million yuan, the value of this yuan is extremely high. One dollar is one gram of gold, for the convenience of the people. The renminbi issued auxiliary coins in the decimal system of jiao, cents and centimeters. The maximum denomination is only ten dollars.

Hearing that the army of the land reform and the head of the government really wanted to lead the people to carry out construction, and the Xie family took the lead in dismissing the slaves and exchanging the land, gold, and ocean for renminbi, the parliamentarians were afraid of the iron fist of the revolutionary army on the one hand, and on the other hand, they really still wanted to see Sichuan become rich and strong, and they all expressed their positions:

"After we go back, we will cooperate with the working group and the government to carry out land reform and currency reform."

"Commander Xie. Your Xie family has taken the lead, who of us is not good at changing it? ”

"Commander Xie. We handed over the land and took the RMB, but we are waiting to buy the factory! ”

In January 2015 of the Han calendar, after the experience of land reform in Shuangyang and Hualiu, the land reform in Sichuan began in an all-round way, and the land reform in western Sichuan was generally very smooth.

On the one hand, the revolutionary army has made great efforts to control this area, and on the other hand, western Sichuan is the most developed area in Sichuan, and the landlords still have a relatively deep understanding of industry and commerce, and they are more accepting of the revolutionary army's reform plan.

The land reform in western Sichuan was almost completed by the end of February.

In all parts of western Sichuan, in each county, there were fewer than 100 killings in the land reform, and the proportion of land sold by landlords was about the same as that of Shuangyang, and infrastructure construction began in various places.

Relatively speaking, the land reform of the revolutionary armies in eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, and northern Sichuan is much more difficult:

There were many bandits in the mountainous areas, the land was scattered, and the understanding of the landlords could not keep up, and in some places there were even cases of the landlords inciting the peasants to confront the working groups and the revolutionary army.

In desperation, the revolutionary army went on a killing spree in several places, killing thousands of people in several counties where banditry was most rampant, and only then did it carry out the land reform and currency reform.

What happened in these three months is enough to write another thick book.

In late March, except for Xikang, the land reform in Sichuan was basically completed, and hundreds of highways were started at the same time, and the whole Sichuan was in full swing.

Xie Niancheng, who planned and implemented this qiē, is now lying comfortably on the sofa in the study, enjoying a rare vacation. In the past two months, he has led a special service team to put out fires everywhere, and he is really tired enough.

Yang Yuwei's beautiful voice introduced the final results of the currency reform: "The currency reform has ended, and all the gold and silver have been transported to the treasury of the head office of the Bank of China in Chengdu, with a total of 565 tons of gold, 46.22 million pieces of ocean, and 3,142 tons of silver. ”

"So much?"

This figure is really a bit unexpected by Xie Niancheng.

In particular, there are 565 tons of gold!

"It's not surprising that, except for banditry, Sichuan has not fought a war for more than 2,000 years, and it has been peaceful for a long time. However, this time, it is estimated that there is no gold and silver left. Yang Yuwei said softly.

In fact, this money is not much when it is taken internationally, and when converted into dollars, it is only more than 600 million, and if you get the most powerful British Empire now, you can build less than 30 battleships.

Thinking of the wealth accumulated by 50 million people for thousands of years, adding up to such a small amount of money, Xie Niancheng could only sigh helplessly: China, it is still too poor! (To be continued......)
