The town of Gangdong was taken.

On 16 April, the propaganda team was once again stationed in Jiangdong Town, this time with a master-like mentality, and was greeted with great enthusiasm, with the cheers of adults and children in their ears.

The core stronghold of the 101st collective estate is finally found.

There are also 7,386 acres of cultivated land in Jiangdong Town, which are also used in a unified manner, and the task force sent a telegram from the headquarters to apply for two ploughing machines, three tractors with ploughshares, five pumping machines, and a large number of new agricultural tools, as well as improved seeds, pesticides, etc., and immediately joined the spring ploughing work here to improve the efficiency of spring ploughing.

However, only taking Jiangdong Town does not mean that the task of the task force has been completed, and the collective estate can be established quickly, which is not so simple.

We have to annex and take over several surrounding villages and towns.

Eventually, a large estate with more than 30,000 acres of land was established.

And with the ready-made example of Jiangdong Town, is it not easy to take the surrounding villages and towns? Just draw a scoop according to the gourd.

At first, Wang Kangping and others thought so, but as soon as the surrounding Wang Village, Chenjia Village, Songjia Town, Dama Village, and Nanjiang Village heard that Jiangdong Town had joined the manor, and that the central town of the manor would be located in Jiangdong Town in the future, they all shook their heads and said that they would not join the collective manor, and there was no such possibility.

"Why don't you want to join again?"

Obviously, they were very positive before, especially the two villages of Wang Village and Chenjia Village, although they are also clan villages, but whether it is the young people in the village or the patriarch and the elders, they are very active in joining Xujiazhuang, and they have taken the initiative to apply many times, and they are already the two villages that have been taken by default.

As a result, when they learned that Jiangdong Town had joined the collective estate, Wang Cun and Chen Jiacun suddenly changed their attitudes one hundred and eighty degrees, saying that they were unwilling to join anything, saying that unless Jiangdong Town withdrew from the estate, it would be impossible for them to join.

What is the reason?

After some visits and investigations, the members of the task force fell into frowns again.

Clan fighting.

The fundamental reason is that Jiangdong Town and the surrounding villages and towns such as Wangcun, Chenjia Village, and Songjia Town, in the past history, have broken out many clan fights, and have long formed a generational blood feud that cannot be resolved, and every few years or so, there is a high probability that clan fights will break out, and even kill to the extent that the eyes are red and the blood flows like a river, and then develop to the extent that the two villages are not allowed to intermarry, and the old and dead do not interact with each other.

As for why the clan fight broke out, there are too many reasons, fighting for water, land, and the quarrel between the husband and wife caused a big fight between the two sides, or because of the battle of will, the losing party was not convinced and called for help, and finally more and more people on both sides shouted, and it developed into a clan fight.

Of course, the main reason is the struggle for water and land, and it is also because after the population of the ancient society was bred in large numbers, in order to compete for limited resources, it had to use clan fighting to solve the contradictions, which was essentially the unique involution phenomenon of agricultural society.

And the more it reaches the end of a dynasty, the phenomenon of clan fighting becomes more frequent and intense, and it is difficult to eliminate.

Jiangdong Town is a big town with thousands of households, and it is the clansman of the overlord Xiang Yu, the combat effectiveness is very strong, every time a weapon fight breaks out with the surrounding villages and towns, it can always gain the upper hand, win more and lose less, and take a lot of advantage and sweetness, most of the surrounding villages and towns are unwilling to interact with Jiangdong Town, and even form a blood feud, I can't wait to see Jiangdong Town suffer losses and bad luck, how can it be possible to join the same manor.

Anyway, in a word: there is no Jiangdong Town, there is no them, and there is no Jiangdong Town without them!

"This ......"

The heads of the team members are all big, they finally managed to get Jiangdong Town, and they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and relax, but there was such a big trouble.

The contradictions and blood feuds forged by hundreds of years and dozens of generations, are they saying that if they want to resolve them, they can resolve them?

What to do?

He sent a telegram to the headquarters and received three suggestions to solve the problem.

First, to solve the problem of land disputes, as long as you join the collective estate, all the land will belong to the manor, all the land belongs to the owner, there is no longer individual private land, and the amount of personal income is no longer linked to the amount of land, but is related to the labor contribution of individuals.

Second, the problem of fighting for water, this is easier to solve, there is a pumping machine, the dragon king, where is the need to fight for water?

Finally, there are fights between villages, quarrels, conflicts between husband and wife, disputes between wills, etc., and a public trial court will be set up to deal with them, and 100 jurors with less fairness and selfishness will be selected to participate in the handling of conflicts, and the principle of heavy punishment for the wrong party will be adopted, and 10 silver dollars will be fined for insulting others, so as to avoid small conflicts between individuals and infinitely escalate to major conflicts between two clans.

That is, as long as the collective estate is joined, there will be no more land disputes, there is no need to fight for water, and the public trial court will also make every effort to ensure that the word "public" is used, and regardless of whether the village is large or small, the number of jurors will not differ too much, and there will never be a situation of favoring a certain village.

So the members of the task force took action again, divided into a number of persuasion groups, to do the ideological work of the surrounding villages and towns, to persuade them to join the collective estate, of course, the main target is still the young people, not those stubborn and rigid patriarchs.

Even in order to enhance their persuasiveness, they even brought a pumping machine and found a pond to prove that the competition for water was a thing of the past.

"There is no need to fight for the field, Xujiazhuang's cultivator can cultivate hundreds of acres of land a day, and the tractor can plough hundreds of acres, most people don't need to do farm work, but go to breed and go to the workshop to work, to build a house and build roads, to do at least hundreds of dollars a day, the income of skilled workers is higher, a young man can easily earn more than 30 silver dollars, without bearing any taxes, this is not better than before? Do you all want to plant hard for the rest of your life? ”

"The strength of the pump, you have all seen it, at least it is comparable to a thousand people to carry water, and it can also pump water to the high dry land through the irrigation canal, and turn all the fields into watered land, so as to ensure that there is no problem with the harvest every year.

"About how the public trial court decides the case, can it solve the family affairs that the Qing officials can't break, here are a few typical case videos, I believe that through these cases, you will not take the escalation of violence to solve any problems in the future, but the first time you think of the public trial court, here, as long as it is proved that the fault party is at fault, even if you scold your mother, you can also let him pay 10 silver dollars, so that the other party will pay unforgettable, and the public trial court will be your biggest protector in the future!"

"Don't dwell on the grievances and grievances of the past, those old accounts can't be settled, we can only look forward, for the sake of your children, for the happiness of future generations, joining the collective estate is the only way to happiness! Let go of those things that have passed, you will be bullied and unfair in the future, you don't need your clan to stand up for you, the public trial court will make decisions for you, and Xujiazhuang will give you justice! No one can hurt your interests and dignity, no one can let life be in fear and anxiety, even if you are just an independent person, as long as you join the manor, everyone is your most solid backing! ”

After such a speech.

The young people of Wangcun were convinced.

Chenjia Village is not only young people, even the patriarchs and elders have been conquered by a pump, because as long as the pumping machine is used, Chenjia Village, which is on higher ground, can at least reclaim 3,000 acres of water to irrigate the land, and the grain production will be doubled, not to mention the hard work to carry water.

Seeing that Wang Village and Chenjia Village have joined one after another, spring ploughing is being carried out vigorously.

Songjia Town, Dama Village, and Nanjiang Village, which couldn't sit still, had to agree to join, because the benefits of joining can be seen immediately, such as the ploughers and tractors rumbling in the fields, sorting out thousands of acres of land in one day, and the efficiency of the pumping machine shocked them even more, but also doubted whether the hardships and blood and tears they had endured in the past was necessary, and whether it was meaningful for those clansmen who died because of the struggle for water and land?

But the most meaningless thing in the world is to stay in place and entangle, only by joining the collective estate, their children and grandchildren, can live a peaceful and happy life, there is no need to think about the meaning of some struggle, and this is the greatest meaning of joining the collective estate!

The five villages and towns of Wangcun, Chenjia Village, Songjia Town, Daba Village, and Nanjiang Village have joined successively.

The 101st collective estate has increased the enclosed land to more than 27,000 acres, not including large areas of mountains, bamboo forests, wasteland, ponds, rivers and lakes and other resources.

The population resources under control have also reached more than 15,800 people.

The conditions for the establishment of a large estate were basically met.

However, there is still one place that has not been done - Da'an Town, west of Jiangdong Town.

The number of household registration and cultivated land in Da'an Town, which is comparable to Jiangdong Town, is also a very famous town, the distance between the two towns is less than ten miles, in the past history, there have also been several clan fights, and the results are all tied regardless of the winner, so the contradiction between the two sides is not so big, and intermarriage is more common, because two people with equal strength are easier to become friends.

But it's this Daan town.

The Advocacy Task Force has sent several working groups to the site, but to no avail.

Even in the brick kiln factory, not a single young man from Da'an Town came to work.

In the face of all kinds of propaganda methods of the propaganda team, only this Da'an Town has resisted all of them without needles or water.

In order to investigate why this Da'an town is so special, Wang Kangping sent a ten-person investigation team into Da'an town to investigate the reasons.

However, the ten-member investigation team has just arrived on the outskirts of Da'an Town and has not yet entered the town.

桀桀桀~

A scrub-like laugh rang out.

At least 300 young men surrounded the investigation team from all sides, armed with sticks, chains, knives, axes, spears, and other weapons.

The thick black man with a meaty face at the head said: "Slaughter all these people!" The patriarch said, these people in Xujiazhuang not only have to kill them all, but also cut off their heads to stack Jingguan, and skin them to make drums, all of them will be given to me, and none of them will be left! ”

"Kill!"

"A head will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and I will take this silver!"

"Lao Tzu has already seen that they are not pleasing to the eye!"

"Delusional attempt to annex our Da'an Town? Die! ”

Facing the young men rushing over in dense circles all around, look at their hideous and murderous faces.

Yuan Ying, who served as the leader of the investigation team, sank his heart.

But he still pulled out the alloy dagger on his waist and gave an order decisively: "One person will set off fireworks for help, and the other nine people will form a group of three or three, back to back, and kill the enemy with the mad dog knife method!" ”
