Chapter 167: Clan Forces

Soon, the Propaganda Department of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office also began to let various propaganda forces under it carry out propaganda to publicize legal knowledge to many low-level people. In particular, the knowledge of the land and property rights, that is, to tell them whose name is written on the title deed, the land and the property are also whose owns. And this kind of propaganda is to enhance the people's awareness of rights protection, and so that they can fight with those who are the main lineages of their own families and maintain the safety of their own property.

In addition, the propaganda hall announced a case of land disputes between the side branches of the family and the main line, and then heard that the case was also killed, which made many of those clan side branches who received land distribution begin to pay attention. Because this case of Zhang Guifang is definitely not a single case, on the contrary, this is a case that is owned all over Taiwan. Many clans avoided large agricultural taxes by dividing land to other branches. However, after they divided the land, they later implemented the policy of exchanging land for shares because of Wang Guorui, so that many of the main lineages of those families naturally had to take back the land. Because they have divided all the land, they don't have much land in their names, so they want more land in exchange for more shares.

At this time, the contradiction between the side branch of the family and the main vein completely broke out, because the side branch of the family finally obtained the land, and naturally was unwilling to be taken back by the main vein. And some people who want to make a living from farming also feel uncomfortable, because it is obviously the land in their own name, why do they have to hand over a large part of the grain to the main line of the family when they harvest, why is this! If you have to give a large amount of grain to others to get land in this way, then what is the difference between yourself and the tenants of the past, and it is not the same as not giving yourself land? This has made many people concerned.

"Patriarch, that Zhang Guifang sued you, and he sued the governor directly. Will there be any surprises? A member of the Zhang family asked.

And the patriarch of the Zhang family said indifferently: "What is this, it was originally our land, is there still something wrong with us taking it back?" It is only natural that our land should be recovered. ”

"Patriarch, but recently a propagandist from the Governor's Mansion said that the land is in everyone's name. It's anyone's. I think there must be a deep meaning in this! Could this be something wrong? The person from the Zhang family immediately continued to ask.

"Hmph, what about the government? They won't go to the countryside, this countryside is our world! I am the patriarch of the family, who dares not to listen to me? That Zhang Guifang is really unreasonable, he actually sued me, the patriarch, for the next offense, what can he do? It's obviously the family's land, but his father actually wants to swallow it, which is really homeless. To die is to die. What else can it be? ”

"Patriarch, patriarch, no, the court of the Governor's Mansion sent an arrest warrant, saying that you are suspected of intentional homicide, so I specially came to arrest you!" A domestic servant shouted.

"Hmph, let them get rid of them!" The patriarch of the Zhang family said.

"Patriarch, no! Came with the people of the court. And hundreds of soldiers! Moreover, those soldiers were heavily armed. Definitely not with a burning stick! If we dare not listen, then they will surely kill us on the spot. ”

The patriarch of the Zhang family gasped, he didn't expect the Governor's Mansion to "value" himself so much, and he actually brought hundreds of soldiers to "invite" him!

Taipei, Governor's Palace, Wang Guorui convened a meeting.

"Everyone. This time we are facing the greatest challenge since the establishment of the Taiwan regime. If this challenge passes, then we will be able to overcome a huge crisis, and then Taiwan will truly shake off the feudal shackles of the past and be able to develop freely in the future. And if we can't get through, then those landlord forces will continue to chase and fight after us. We're going to have a lot more time at that point. To do this, we have to be prepared. The military, propaganda, and administration must be prepared, and there must be no slackness. ”

"You may not know, or you may not think that there is much danger. Since ancient times, our government in China has not been subordinate to the township, and the township is managed by the clan landlords, and many of our officials in the past had to be supported by ordinary township clans in order to exercise power. And these clans rely on land and blood to maintain their ties, and then constantly gather family members to fight against the government. It's very bad for us, and it's all very bad. So we have to clean up these clan forces. ”

"These clan forces bind the people, and they are like a mountain pressing down on the people's heads. And the people want to be free, and those who have a vested interest in the clan power will not allow the people to be free at all. Because they had to kidnap the whole people of the clan in order to reap the benefits. They are kidnapping the entire family in the direction of confrontation with our government, and then forcing us to compromise with them. And this management clan model, which is dependent on the landlord culture, can no longer meet the needs of the current industrial age. We need a lot of workers in our factories, and these clans limit the population of their families to the land, to the towns and villages, and prevent them from coming out. This is not only detrimental to industrial development, but also to the flow of human resources and the freedom of mankind. ”

"And foreigners say that everyone has their own human rights, and the right to freedom is the most important right. Although this is a foreigner, I recognize it very much. If a person does not even have the right to choose his own future path, then what freedom does he have! And these ordinary people who are dependent on the power of the clan are oppressed by the patriarch of the family, and the family does not allow them to leave this oppression, we must break this culture and change the thinking of the general public, so that our people can be truly free. Only then can we truly put Taiwan's development on the fast track! ”

Wang Guorui began to mobilize everyone before the war, and this time it can be said that it was the last declaration of war against the idea of feudalism. And although some of the landlords wanted to exchange the land for shares, since the land had settled in the hands of the different people, it was not tolerable for them to go back. After all, this individual's lawful property is inviolable, and this is a must of the law. And since it has settled in their name, the Taiwan government must protect it well, otherwise the Taiwan government will inevitably lose the support of the people. The inviolability of personal lawful property is definitely not a casual statement, and the law must be strictly observed. If it can be trampled on at will, it is definitely very dangerous for the future development of capital.

And although the local redistribution of land has taken place, the people's hearts have not been changed. Many ordinary people are also subconsciously attached to clans, and this kind of clans are no longer suitable for Taiwan's next development path, and they must find a way to break them. It's easy to break it economically, but it's not so simple to break it ideologically. And this time Zhang Guifang came to sue the patriarch of the Zhang family, which means that Wang Guorui was given an opportunity to break this outdated clan mentality.

And this case is a big example, and then you can sue the vast number of people to protect their land ownership. As long as everyone learns to maintain their own land ownership, the clans that were originally highly cohesive will begin to be truly dismembered. The clan is also maintained by the land and the traditional idea of superiority and inferiority. But once this kind of clan has no land, then they will not be able to have enough interests to maintain everyone's unity. And once the juniors and the elders have sufficient conflicts of interest, such as conflicts of interest in the land, then I am afraid that they will not be able to have any respect for the elders. After all, respect is one thing, but don't infringe on your own interests, but once there is a conflict over land ownership, then I am afraid that many people in the family will not continue to listen to the elders in the family. After all, many times the blood relationship is not as good as those who have their own interests, and those who disregard their interests for the sake of family feelings are a minority after all. Therefore, there is such a thing as a brother who settles accounts, which is enough to show that in the face of sufficient interests, family feelings are simply vulnerable.

"Lord Wang, the patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Dongfang, has been arrested and is now being held in a cell in the court. According to President Wang Xiande's advice, it is hoped that the trial will begin in three days, and the trial will be carried out. At that time, people of all classes can come here to watch, which can play a role in educating the people to popularize the law. Kang Tongwei said to Wang Guorui.

And Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "Okay, then let them all start the pre-trial, and then when the time comes, we must have a public trial, so that they can accept the punishment in accordance with the law." This time it is not only a matter of law, but also a process of struggle between our different classes. ”

Taiwan's current civil servants are mainly international students, so they all represent the interests of the capitalist class, so naturally those landlord classes cannot be allowed to rebound. If the landlord class is allowed to rebound, I am afraid it will also be detrimental to the development of capital. This kind of clan thinking has already reached the interests of the capitalist class, so it is natural to clean them up fiercely, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the reform of the country in the future.
