Chapter 83: The Chief of Ximen Village
July 1o, 19o8 (34th year of Guangxu), Sichuan, Nanchong, a natural village.
"Folks, the government is building a new home for everyone, all of them are spacious and bright buildings, all of which are agricultural apartments built with fine blue bricks and cement. In the future, according to the principle of household separation, those who have a family can apply for the construction of a two-story small courtyard, and those who are single will live in agricultural apartments. This is a new countryside built by the Chinese Scientific Socialist Party, where every house has running water and electric lights, there are schools and health centers in the village, children at home are studying, and people in the family are sick or something, so they don't even need to leave the village! Do you think this new countryside is good?"
Ximen Fuxue described how tall the new countryside is on the podium, of course, he didn't just rely on his mouth, there was a movie playing behind him, and the images on it were close-ups of all angles of the new countryside, and there were some scenes of model villages that had been completed. There are all kinds of tall scenes inside, and there are jubilant people everywhere.
The crops in the fields are heavy and growing well, the cattle and horses, pigs and sheep in the livestock pens are all fat and strong, the environment in the village is clean and tidy, the roadside is full of green trees, and the new village is full of garden lawns. Especially the decorations in the homes of the villagers, they all look so tall, and they seem to be much better than the landlords. On the table are white rice steamed buns, three dishes and one soup, as well as glistening braised pork, and children can eat eggs and drink soy milk in the village kindergarten and village primary school. Everyone was dressed in a new dress, and although it was not a satin material, and the color was only gray and blue, not bright at all, but at first glance it was a fine thick foreign cloth, and the peasants liked this thick and durable cloth.
There is only a soundtrack in the movie, and there is no explanation and text, this is because Mandarin has not yet been promoted, the illiteracy rate is also very high, and the vast majority of farmers can only speak the local dialect and are illiterate. It's useless if you put a text description on the picture, and if you want to explain it, then prepare countless dialect versions, which is too pitiful. Therefore, the specific explanation work is the responsibility of grassroots cadres like Ximen Chuixue.
However, when making these promotional videos, the cultural level of the audience was taken into account, so they were all described from the most popular and easy-to-understand pictures, and the content selected was also the clothing, food, housing, transportation, farm work and crops that the farmers were most concerned about. It's all very superficial and easy-to-understand content, even if it's uneducated, it's basically understandable at a glance, and it doesn't need too professional explanation.
However, Ximen Fuxue still explained very conscientiously. With the melodious and joyful folk music, he also entered the role, speaking in a fanciful manner, and the tone and tone were full of temptation, so that the villagers below listened to it one by one, and their faces were red with excitement, and they couldn't wait to live in it immediately.
These grassroots cadres are professionally trained, and the language arts they use and the gestures they use in speeches are all of the times. This is a set of propaganda techniques that have been jointly researched by many psychologists, linguists, educators, master storytellers and other experts, combined with several successful cases of later generations, and determined after repeated deliberations.
Well, many of them borrowed from the original time and space and later generations of pyramid schemes, TV direct sales, as well as various scams and even some cult language skills, these things are very powerful, even the later generations have seen the world and educated people have fallen into the pit, not to mention the uneducated and uneducated indigenous farmers of this era.
Of course, propaganda techniques are only tools in themselves, and there is no good or evil, depending on where they are used. What the Socialist Party is engaged in is not a pyramid scheme or a scam cult, but it is only to mobilize the masses and speed up the process of the revolution in the three rural areas. And what they say is true, and they don't deceive people. It was only in order that these ignorant peasants would accept it as much as possible, and a little tricky means were adopted.
On the ground in front of the podium there is also a 1:2oo large-scale sand table of the new countryside, which is more intuitive, and the various buildings on it look exquisite and lovely, which makes people can't help but like it at first sight. There are also several 1:5o large-scale architectural models next to the sand table, including agricultural apartments and 2-storey rural villas with small courtyards, which are more exquisite, and can also uncover the roof and see the layout inside, which is very intuitive.
"Ximen official, is this new village really so good?" an old farmer asked cautiously.
"Of course, when did our Socialist government deceive everyone? We are not the court of the Manchu Tartars. Simon asked in a loud voice. After that, he frowned again and said: "Besides, don't call me Ximen official! Our Science and Technology Party does not want to do this, you can call me Comrade Ximen or the head of Ximen Village......
A middle-aged peasant next to him hurriedly pulled the old peasant down and said in a loud voice: "Chairman Wen will not deceive people, the Socialist Party is a good official, of course we can trust it!" The masses all nodded, and during this period of time, through actions such as land reform and public trial, the political power of the Socialist Party has established credibility and prestige.
"This ...... The house in this new village is so good, how much does it cost to live in it? My family doesn't have much money......" someone asked again.
"Don't worry, everyone, we in the Socialist Party want everyone in the world to have a house to live in. The agricultural apartment is used as compensation for your current housing, so the apartment house is free of money. This kind of 2-story small yard applied for by people with families, this is going to give money......"
Ximen Fuxue pointed to the rural villa next to the sand table, and said in a very seductive tone: "Look at this small courtyard, with concrete frame, blue brick wall, and cement floor, how many landlords and old fortunes can't live in." Such a small courtyard only costs 12o yuan! Li Dazui, you are a plasterer for many years, tell me, how much does it cost to repair such a small courtyard?"
A middle-aged man came over in response, looked at the model carefully, counted his fingers for a while, and said: "At least 23o to 24o oceans, this is still the gray now, oh, cement is cheap." When it used to be called ocean ash, it couldn't be repaired without 3oo oceans......"
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt cheap, but the price of 12o yuan was still prohibitive.
At this time, Simon Fuxue puffed out his tongue again and said, "...... 12o yuan, many people can't take it out. But it doesn't matter, we, Chairman Wen, are the most considerate of the people, so we have implemented installment payments for this kind of small courtyard. 12o yuan, 2 cents per year, paid in 2o years, as long as the principal interest, no compound interest, and no rolling interest. You only need to pay 2o yuan, and then pay 7 yuan a year to live in. In the first places to be liberated in eastern Sichuan, such as those villages in Hechuan County, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can earn at least 5o yuan a year, and a good boy can earn at least 7o yuan! You can do the same, and I will assure you here that as long as you listen to the words of our science and technology party, and work in a down-to-earth manner, if this happens, if any strong laborer still earns less than 5o yuan a year, I will pay for him out of my own pocket......
Hearing this, everyone became excited. I have long heard that the life in the liberated area is extremely nourishing, and it seems that the propaganda movie just now, and now the Ximen officials, oh, the village chief of Ximen has made a guarantee again, and there is no doubt at the moment. They lined up one after another and drew their fingerprints on the "relocation agreement".
After the crowd dispersed, Ximen Chuixue and a few staff members began to clean up the scene, put away the movie projector, sand table, model and other equipment, and then loaded it on the sheep cart.
Huh, sheep cart?
That's right, it's a sheep cart indeed. The cart was pulled by a tall goat, about the size of a Sichuan horse. Of course, this is not a species that should exist in this time and space, it is a genetic engineering product, and the Institute of Biology has specially developed a kind of domestic animal for use in mountainous and hilly areas, named "Southwest Force Sheep". At present, this new breed of livestock has been popularized in large quantities in the liberated areas, not only by the people, but also by the revolutionary army. In this environment in the southwest, the southwest force sheep is much easier to use than mules and horses, even if this thing carries an 8omm mortar, the mountain climbing degree is faster than that of an empty-handed person.
"Comrade Simon, the people in this village are quite good, and they have all signed it...... Hey, it's not like the last village, there are several nail households......" said a staff member running up.
Hearing his colleague mention the nail households in the last natural village, Ximen Chuixue's face changed from the kindness he had just now, and he sneered: "Hmph, don't worry about those nail households, we in the Science and Technology Party have more than a bodhisattva heart, and we also have King Kong means for the reactionary and backward elements who resist the revolution of the three rural areas." Those people don't need to be taken care of by us, and soon someone will come to rectify them, and these hooligans-proletarians dare to blackmail our CSS, and they will soon taste the iron fist of the people's dictatorship!"
"That is, these hooligans should be dealt with fiercely, they are often more hateful than those bullying landlords!" The rest of the staff also hated. Most of them came from the countryside, and where did they not know the abomination of these hooligans-proletarians. These hooligans-proletarians deceive the good and fear the evil, and they are especially good at camping, usually stealing chickens and dogs in the villages, acting as thugs and dogs for the bullies and inferior gentry, and once they encounter the revolution, they will often wipe their faces, blend into the revolutionary ranks and pretend to be revolutionaries, and carry out all kinds of criminal acts.
In the original time and space, both the red and blue parties were not lightly pitted by this kind of garbage, and Wen Dehei, who knew history, naturally would not make such a mistake, so at the very beginning, he severely cracked down on this kind of hooligan-proletarian who pretended to be revolutionaries, and cut off at least tens of thousands of heads. However, this kind of crackdown has not yet affected these hooligans who are still hiding in the countryside, and this time they took advantage of the Three Rural Revolution to end those guys.
In January this year, he graduated from the grassroots cadre training class in Hechuan, and after half a year of internship, he was sent to Nanchong to become a village official.
The focus of this three rural revolution is to "gather villages and merge villages", because natural villages are often very unreasonable in layout. At this time, the population of most natural villages was less than 5oo people, many only one or two hundred people, and some remote places even had four or five households, and a dozen or even seven or eight people were also considered a village.
This situation is very unfavorable to grassroots work, a great waste of administrative resources, and inconvenient management. Therefore, from the very beginning, Wen Desi put "gathering villages and merging villages" on the agenda, and this work had already begun to be carried out in the liberated areas of eastern Sichuan during the period of Kyodo Society. Now it has been officially implemented in all liberated areas. Village officials like Ximen Chuixue are also called "cadres of Bao Village" because they have to go to many natural villages to mobilize and relocate.
