220 Land reform again

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, my name is Jocelyn Warren, and I am your land reform worker. Two months ago, I came here and led everyone to start the land reform. Later, feudalism became so powerful that we had to withdraw. However, we kept all the information at that time, and we kept everyone's roster and land boundaries well, so we were able to quickly send everyone's land to everyone for this land reform!! ”

Jocelyn Warren stood in the middle of the Yanggu field in Riverbank Village, holding a tin horn and shouting loudly. Behind him, Jon Warren led his company of nearly a hundred soldiers in a neat parade procession. In their hands, the newly produced Thunder I rifle reflected a dark blue light in the sunlight.

In front of Jocelyn, there were serfs and peasants from He'an Village and several nearby villages, who had been waiting for the land reform team for several days, and some villagers had even started the land reform in advance after getting the news that Gastens was the Grand Magister. The big landlords of those villages have almost fled because of the war, and the remaining landlords do not have the courage to confront a great demon master. And when Qiao Slin came here with the land reform team and the supporting guards, half of the seven or eight surrounding villages had already completed the land reform on their own.

"Brother Jocelyn, we're all waiting, what do you need us to do, just say!"

The serfs and peasants gathered in the audience had dishes and smiles on their faces. The dishes were displaced by the previous war, and many of them fled to the mountains, hungry and yellow-skinned. And the smile is because behind the Elena land reform team in front of him is a great mage, the only one and only one in this world. No one would dare to rebel against an archmage, so their land reform would change their fate forever.

"Yes, several villages have already completed their own land reform, let's hurry up! A lot of the crops in the field have been ruined, and we want to hurry up and replant them! ”

I don't know who shouted, which set off a chorus of echo in the crowd. Many of the crops had been left untended by previous battles, some overgrown with weeds, and some had been destroyed by the army and the fighting. The peasants now regard those lands as their own, and they are naturally distressed, urging Qiao Celin to start the land reform as soon as possible.

"Okay, the old folks said to do it as soon as possible, then I'll start now! Brothers, bring up the materials of land reform! ”

Jocelyn had actually just arrived here from Elena, and he hadn't even taken a break to drink his saliva. However, he also knew that the villagers had a strong desire to promote land reform, and they consciously and directly engaged in the work. There were five people in the land reform working group who came with him, three of whom had experience in land reform before, and they all took out the land reform materials that had been saved during the previous retreat and began to check them one by one according to the list. If you can find someone, confirm it on the spot. If you can't find anyone, stay suspicious for the time being. Because of the previous land reform and land measurement, this land reform does not need to re-measure the land, and everyone is very active and extremely cooperative in being able to get rid of the status of serfs and get four acres of land. Jocelyn's reconfirmation of land reform is going very well. And his working group, according to his arrangement, set up three desks on the Yanggu field. One is Jocelyn himself to confirm the results of the last land reform, and the second is the only woman in the team, Sally Warren, who is responsible for confirming Jocelyn's results, and asking the peasant brothers to sign and issue land certificates. The third table is responsible for reviewing the second table and distributing daily necessities to the farmers. These daily necessities were transferred from large light industrial factories confiscated in Elena and several surrounding cities, and they were all daily necessities such as clothes, bed sheets, washbasins, and tea jars. Naturally, the peasants were very cooperative with the working group, and the work of reconfirming land rights and issuing certificates was carried out smoothly.

However, as the work progressed, Jocelyn also ran into problems. Because several villages had promoted land reform on their own, and those farmers did not have the previous land materials. Although most of the peasants were honest, they directly asked for their own land in the land reform. However, there are also many peasants who have taken the opportunity of land reform again to get some good land under their own names. And when Jocelyn and them confirmed the land rights, they began to make demands, asking for the replacement of the land, with the land they were now allotted, to replace the previous land.

"Fellow, this is not good, your four acres of land are all good paddy fields, and they were divided between two families before. Now that you have all the land you own, it's not appropriate to give all the bad land to others, right? ”

Jocelyn was not impatient when encountering problems, Elena had won the impossible defensive battle, and their leader, Gastens, was still a suspected archmage, and the future of the revolution was bright and victorious, so he was naturally in a good mood to deal with these trivial matters. When the farmer heard this, he was still trying to struggle.

"Well, comrade, when I was a tenant farmer in the old Hobbes's house, I had been planting these acres of paddy fields for almost ten years. These acres of paddy fields are like my children, and I can't bear to give them to others. ”

"I've planted that paddy field too! The tenant farmer in old Hobbes's house is not your old Polly Willy alone, can I also ask for an acre! ”

"That's right, the officials and masters of the family have been divided, so you are allowed to occupy the land!!"

Behind old Polly Willy, some of the peasants, unaccustomed to his desire for good land, cried out. Jocelyn stretched out his hand to reassure everyone, smiled and continued to communicate with old Polly Willy.

"This folk, our land reform is a government act, and the land certificate issued by us shall prevail. We welcome you and your fellow villagers to support the revolution and take the initiative in land reform. But how this land is distributed is fixed and recorded. Your four acres of paddy land were previously distributed to two other peasant brothers, and the four acres of land allocated to you, two acres of good land and two acres of secondary land were also registered. If you want to pick up good land like you, who wants bad land! ”

"It's just that he can't just take advantage of it alone!"

"That's it, sir, you better quickly take his land, he wants good land so much, maybe he is a counter-revolutionary!"

The crowd behind shouted again. When the old Poli Willy saw that someone had detained his hat as a counter-revolutionary, he immediately panicked, and he didn't want the four acres of paddy fields, so he directly took the land certificate of his four acres of land and went to Sally to seal and confirm. Jocelyn watched him walk over and laughed silently. Most of these peasants' minds are still very simple, they want good land, not bad land. Although they are the basis of the revolution, they must also be properly guided and managed. He gathered his thoughts and shouted in front of him.

"Next!"

————————————

Because the data is well preserved, the land rights confirmation work in He'an Village and several nearby villages has been carried out for most of the day, and it is almost over. Jocelyn has been busy since the morning, and his heart is close to his back when he is hungry, and he can't stand it anymore. He glanced at the team in front of him, saw that there were still a dozen people, and then looked at his right, and his companions were doing their work well. Jocelyn stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and just as he wanted to finish his work, he saw a lesbian with a big waist squeezed in front of him.

"Hey, this eldest sister, I know you're in a hurry to get the land, but you have to queue up, you see that everyone else has been waiting for so long, it's not good not to queue!"

Jocelyn looked like he was about to cut the line, and he had to maintain order when he spoke. The eldest sister stretched out her hand and interrupted him.

"Who wants to cut the line, the king of the eight lambs who cut the line didn't give birth to a son! Here you go, little brother, this is our own noodles, see that you have been working for a day, let's eat something first. ”

As she spoke, the eldest sister took out a tattered enamel tea jar from the basket she was carrying on her arm, which was the size of Jocelyn's human head, and it was filled with a slow jar of wild vegetable noodles, and it was still steaming and smelling fragrant. Jocelyn glanced at it and saw that there was an egg lying inside. His nose moved, almost tempted by the scent of the noodles, but he was also determined, knowing the discipline of his team, and he was about to excuse himself when he opened his mouth.

"Eldest sister, we have discipline, we can't take a stitch from the people's homes, I can't eat your rice for nothing, I have money here, I buy your noodles-"

"Buy a fart! The old lady made it for you, do you dare not eat it! ”

The eldest sister seemed to be angry, and slapped Jocelyn's hand on the table, although she was a lesbian, but she had been farming all year round, and her strength in her hands was no worse than Jocelyn's. She pressed Jocelyn's hand as she turned around and cursed in a loud voice.

"You people who have no conscience, the official of the family worked for a day to divide the land for you, and you didn't even give you a drink? All vampires!! Listen to me, wait for me, let the official eat the food, and then get it! ”

Qiao Celin was made to laugh and cry by the eldest sister's style, but the eldest sister was obviously prepared, and on the two desks beside him, several comrades were also surrounded by several rural women about the same size as the eldest sister, and almost everyone had rice bowls or tea jars in front of them. Jocelyn didn't need to look at it to know that it was probably the same wild vegetable noodles inside. Behind him, more female comrades, carrying bowls, jars and buckets, surrounded the warriors who had come with them, demanding that they eat. When Jocelyn saw this posture, he knew that he could not eat this meal, so he begged for mercy twice, let go of his hand, and did not mention the matter of giving money, so he sat down at the table and ate the bowl of noodles. The other comrades and soldiers also followed his example and ate it. For a while, there was only the sound of sucking and sucking on the Yanggu field.

"I said big brother", the eldest sister saw Jocelyn start eating, sat next to him, and looked at the record made by Jocelyn on the table, "You are really good, you can write, you must be from the city!" ”

"Eldest sister, I'm not from the city, I used to be a serf. This handwriting was taught by Elena at night school, and we could all learn it. ”

Jocelyn doesn't hide Elena's policies. When they came out this time, land reform was the main work, but at the same time, they were also responsible for publicizing and explaining Elena's policies. Since the eldest sister asked, he naturally knew everything and said everything.

"Gee, that's nice. I have three sons, all in their twenties, who still can't write, have no education, and spend their days outside in the wilderness. Your night school can't accept people, can I send my son there? ”

"Our night school accepts people, but you don't have to worry, big sister. After the land reform is completed, we will promote night schools in the province, and then all the peasant brothers, as long as they want, can learn to write and learn culture! ”

Jocelyn took the opportunity to promote, and the voice was not small. The surrounding peasants heard it and rushed over. You know, learning to write and go to school are all luxury things that only those big landlords can afford, how dare they dream like this? For a while, everyone's questions were like waves, obliterating Jocelyn. Jocelyn wiped his sweat and just wanted to reply, but found that the eldest sister had helped him block people back.

"What are you bunches squeezing, what are the officials eating, they will wait for me!"

"Sister Fenna, you're too domineering, I'm allowed to ask questions!"

"yes, we're going to listen too!"

The eldest sister saw that her roar was ineffective, and her eyebrows immediately wrinkled together, and she was about to go crazy. Qiao Celin smiled bitterly, hurriedly reassured, and then sat next to the high platform in the middle of the Yanggu field with the teapot. He has already decided that during the meal, as long as everyone is interested in the question, he will answer it, and he will not refuse to come.
