Chapter 1149 Chapter 1090 The Judgment of Life and Death (3)
The time has entered September, when the people of the world have focused most of their attention on the fight between Liu Guangshi and Zou Xu north of the Yangtze River. , and the Fair Party's Heroes Conference held in Jiangning, a complex storm was quietly brewing in the southwest.
This is the second meeting. Compared with the first meeting last year, which was crowded with people from all directions, grand and attracting worldwide attention, the momentum of this meeting is relatively ordinary.
Because many political frameworks that are truly representative and full of rituals have been determined with great fanfare at last year's conference. It has only been a year. At first glance, this year's meeting looks more like filling in the gaps of some continuing work from last year, or even improving the details of various frameworks. Such a meeting will naturally not attract the interest of most people.
Last year, the first meeting was held in early August. This year, for some unknown reason, the meeting was held at the end of August or early September, similar to the Gangnam Fair Party. In this way, aside from the trivial and difficult-to-understand proposals, the more interesting gossip content in the southwest market has become news about the shameless Fairness Party and the Chinese Army competing for popularity.
In this direction, we know that since He Wen announced the news of the Jiangning Heroes Conference, within the Southwest China Army, there have always been "He Wen white-eyed wolves", "taking advantage of the popularity", "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", and "fairness". Complaints such as "The Party is really dirty" only became more obvious in August.
In such an atmosphere, it seemed that they were aware of the value of this wave of news. From July to August until September, various large newspapers in Chengdu used a certain amount of space to introduce the Three Thousand People Fair party affairs inside and outside. Of course, such an introduction is not detailed first-hand information. It is more of a framework description from the theory, program, and general approach. Some bold newspapers even published some comparisons of the similarities and differences between the Chinese Army and the Fair Party. Although the article on theoretical differences seems to be to describe the advanced nature of the Chinese military framework, as there are still many "dissidents" in Chengdu, such conclusions are certainly not convincing.
All this public opinion seems to be a natural and free discussion, and some unscrupulous tabloids also published some tidbits based on the news of the Fairness Party under such circumstances, and even made them up. story. For example, the Huashan sword debate between the five Fair Party kings, the Wheel-turning King bullying men and dominating women, Zhou Shang killing people like hemp, etc.
This unusual atmosphere of public opinion continued until the end of August and early September when the second conference was held. As the conference seemed to be held calmly, experts could tell that several sensitive topics still appeared in the proposals of the conference. On the surface, an inexplicably depressing atmosphere began to gather in Chengdu.
Several proposals on "land reform" were thrown out by several representatives with business backgrounds, and subsequently, they were gradually listed as key discussion topics at the conference. At the same time, some authoritative newspapers in Chengdu continued the trend of discussions on the Fair Party's methods and began to focus on the "people's livelihood" theory of the Huaxia Army's so-called "four people."
This is an elephant in the room.
For the people watching the excitement, such a discussion does not mean much. It can neither compare with the fame of the traitors Zou Xu and Liu Guangshi north of the Yangtze River, nor can it compare with the Jiangning Conference that decided the future of the entire Jiangnan. But in the southwest, the nerves of some specific groups of people have suddenly become tense.
On the third day of September, the sixth day of the conference, some trivial things began to happen in the city. On this morning, more than 20 village elders, village chiefs and other figures from all over the city gathered in front of the conference building in Chengdu. They knelt down to complain and complained. The lawsuit was against several Chinese soldiers who were sent to the countryside after retiring. There are detailed witnesses and testimonies for the accusations of veterans being domineering and bullying men and women in the village.
On the evening of the same day, a representative who proposed a "land reform" proposal was assassinated by a murderer in the boulevard next to Yingbin Road after the meeting. Blood spattered all over the ground.
A large number of lobbyists and inquirers have already taken action secretly.
After the agenda for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was over, Ning Yi held a small family banquet in the yard next to the Maha Pond to entertain a few relatives and friends, including Su Wending and Su Wenyu. After dinner, he would serve as a representative Wen Ding and Wen Yu stayed behind, and the three of them sat by the lake for a while.
The weather in Chengdu in late autumn was pleasant, and the evening breeze blew from the side of the Maha Pond. When Ning Yi opened his mouth to the two of them, he got straight to the point.
"...The Su family has finally grown up with several people. Even if you have to choose someone who can talk, just one of you will be enough. Now there are two people running over. Why are they trying to stop the rotation of the earth?"
Hearing his words so directly, Su Wending and Su Wenyu, who were in charge of matters now, looked at each other with a wry smile, and then Later Su Wending said: "How dare you, brother-in-law, the young man originally captured was Wen Yu, but I happened to be nearby and was pulled together. To be honest, several people in the family were nervous and asked the two of us to come together. Find out what you want and tell it back so that we can’t lie.”
“I’m used to being angry...” Ning Yi shook his head and smiled.
Wen Yu on the side said: "This matter sounds big. Brother-in-law, of course we have no objection to what you want to do, but we are also curious and want to find out whether it is really necessary to do it and to what extent it is necessary."
“What do you think?” Ning Yi asked.
“Aren’t you just unprepared?” Wen Yu smiled bitterly, “You have mentioned the land reform a few times before, but this time, there are indeed no signs outside. Look at the things outside. How unprepared were people? Before the conference, I originally thought this would happen. The matter didn't come to the surface, but who knew it would suddenly come to the fore, and the secret methods could not be suppressed at all, so I didn't even think about it in my heart. Now there are various speculations in and outside the city. Some say it's your brother-in-law's side. When someone suddenly wanted to take action, some said it was just how the meeting was played and they were not familiar enough... "..." , so the sensitivity is insufficient, but in this case, there were people yesterday. The response was so fast that more than 20 people were organized to file a complaint, and the evidence was ready. They even started killing people at night. I didn't expect them to be so fast... Were the uncles who came today not involved?"
< br>Wen Ding shook his head: "How dare they."
"When it comes to killing representatives, a group of people will be killed, and no one who gets involved can run away... People outside are really not familiar with our gameplay, or in other words, after being friends for two years, they are starting to feel more confident."< br>
Sitting in the pavilion by the lake, Ning Yi looked at the water and murmured this. Wen Ding and Wen Yu, whose scalps were numb, were silent for a moment.
Wen Ding said: "Then...brother-in-law, how are we going to cooperate in this matter? To what extent will we do it? Should we explore their thoughts or...have we already decided?"
Ning Yi glanced at him: "...What do you think?"
The two looked at each other, Su Wenyu considered for a moment: "... Land reform, which seems to be just four words, will actually determine the foundation of everyone in the southwest. This matter is really too big. If you suddenly throw it out, do you want to test everyone's reaction? , that’s why there are so many people inquiring and lobbying privately, wanting to know how far you plan to go..."
He paused slightly: "In addition, the details of land reform are the real big issue. Newspapers introduced the Fairness Party two months ago and have already laid the groundwork for land acquisition. But if they kill people and seize property like the Fairness Party, The opposition is definitely the biggest. In addition, what everyone is concerned about is whether there will be compensation, whether the compensation will be discussed, whether it will be an unambiguous direct land resumption, or whether there can be changes in the middle, and there are loopholes that can be exploited..."
< br >Ning Yi smiled: "I'm asking for your opinion."
Su Wenyu thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Although the outside world said that you suddenly made a proposal to test everyone's opinion, There may be room for change, but I think you must do something. In July, you began to thoroughly investigate military issues, and then in August, you asked the Seventh Army and the Second Army of the Fifth Army. , the fifth division changes defense, it seems that To deal with the corruption problem of the Seventh Army and the Fifth Army being stationed in the same place for a long time, in fact, the Seventh Army has never performed garrison tasks in the southwest. It is still a complete outsider here. "
"...On the other hand, every item among the four people seems to be too big to be implemented. Everyone thinks it is extremely difficult to implement it, but brother-in-law, you are not a person who talks about it for fun. We used to be in the small school Canghe, in Liangshan , the place is not big, and we lived there later, without the foundation for this kind of reform. After coming out of Liangshan, we have been preparing for the Southwest War... But now that the Southwest War has come to an end, we have been repairing it for more than a year before moving forward. The vested interests you mentioned are about to take root in the southwest, and now is probably the last time to break up..."
"I think...you are not willing to wait any longer."
When Su Wenyu said this, Su Wending, who claimed to have been captured, nodded: "Actually, I have vague thoughts like this, but I also have some doubts, so Wen Yu came over and I also wanted to ask."
"What are your concerns?"
"You have talked about the issue of capital before." Su Wending said solemnly, "You said that the development of the Chinese Army depends on the development of Gewuhe. Capital will be a main line, and the development of these capitals may cause most people to lose their land sooner or later. On the one hand, you said you want to promote this, but on the other hand, if you really want to promote its development, this time Isn't it somewhat contrary to carrying out land reform to provide land to the tillers? After all, if everyone is given land, fewer people will run away. "< br>
He said: "On the way here, I talked to Wen Yu about the defense change in August and the publicity in the newspapers for more than two months. I also felt that you were going to implement this aspect of people's livelihood. But you also I have said that capital is a strong rule, and we must promote and make good use of it. So the risks of land reform at this time... are a little too great..."
Su Tan'er back then As the official head of the family, after Ning Yi made a plan to go to Beijing to help Qin Siyuan, he began to bring Su Wenfang, Su Wending, Su Wenyu, and Su Yanping, who were relatively close to the second room of the Su family, to train him. They had in-depth teachings and a lot of conversations in the early days. Over the years, the four of them have each had their own responsible side, and there has been less communication. But after Wen Ding and Wen Yu finished speaking, Ning Yi still smiled and nodded.
He considered it for a moment.
“Capital and landlords will always fight.” Ning Yi said with a smile, “After the victory of the Southwest War, large-scale development began around Chengdu. By this year, every inch of land was at a premium, and some businessmen began to consider developing in the surrounding areas. , some landowners joined in, some cooperated well, and some raised prices... Before the meeting, I made some provocations, so some businessmen felt that the Chinese military government was We need to strongly support the establishment of factories, but many people who have land are stubborn and the land cannot be approved. Then... they encourage the representatives to start directly from the agenda of land reform..."
"Of course, they mainly want to ask for advice. Land reform is too big a word for them to carry, but it can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations to get a few landowners to compromise... But the proposal is sent Here, how can they still suppress it? I just took it as the tide, so things came to a head..."
Su Wenyu blinked: "So my brother-in-law did it from the beginning. Decision."
"Things have just begun. Although it doesn't mean much to divert everyone's attention, sooner or later it will be a disaster." Ning Yi smiled, "Land reform. Things, only a few founding courts in the past dynasties can push forward, and the impact it brings may not always be good. Just like what you said, Wen Ding, it is clear that everyone is about to die of poverty, and suddenly it affects everyone. How can I recruit people for my factory? But in the long run, if it succeeds, most of it will be a good impact, because the essence of land reform is not actually about people's livelihood..."
He paused: "...It's about seizing power."
The night wind whimpered and blew ripples all over the lake. There were not many people in the pavilion. Ning Yi's words were low and gentle, and settled on the back of Wen Yu's head. But suddenly my scalp felt numb, and there seemed to be fire burning around me.
“From ancient times to the present, the central government has ruled local areas. It means that the imperial power does not go down to the counties, but to the officials. In the largest rural areas, stability depends on the rural virtuous people. This actually hands over a large part of the state power. Go out. Of course, the political resources of the past dynasties were insufficient, so it was very useful to do so. It makes sense... But at this stage of Kaiminzhi, we can consider making new changes."
"Wen Yu is right. In the past, we were in Xiaocanghe and Xiaoliangshan. Although I had shouted slogans long ago, I did not have the foundation to do so. When I started to rule the southwest , has been preparing for the war and has not started to implement these policies... In fact, no matter how beautiful the policy is, it is true if there are preconditions for its implementation..."
"After winning the Southwest War, We have rehabilitated thousands of soldiers and sent them to the countryside, one after another Yes, sending teachers, doctors, circuit courts, and militia teams to the lower villages. The essence of these things is to prepare for the abolition of the power base of the rural sages. And now, this preparation... is a bit reluctant, but it is true. It’s ready to start…”
"Continuing to maintain the private ownership of land and maintain its free flow can indeed provide a hotbed for the development of capital and factories in the short term, but such development will kill many people... and once the foundation of the rule of the rural sages can be destroyed, By grasping the power at the very end of a society, no matter what we do in the future, it will be much smoother and we will have more choices, including those farmers who have been allocated their land. They will stand by us and fight against us in the future. More People will welcome We can make unified plans for the development of all places, and we don’t need to look at the private ownership of land..."
He smiled slightly: "After we conquered the southwest, there was no drastic division of land and property. Mainly because there is little point in hastily allocating fields in areas that cannot be managed. This is itself part of military training and seizing power. Some people in the southwest view my attitude as mild, and they are also very concerned about some of the landowners who were on our side. Preferential treatment, thought it was okay By bargaining, in fact, if it is just a little economic benefit, it can be compensated, but anyone who wants to be a village sage, or has the possibility of becoming a village sage... will die."
"As for what Wen Ding said. capital is strictly regulated Then." When Ning Yi said this, he paused slightly and seemed to be a little emotional, "Capital is indeed a strong rule. We can't see its full power yet, but sooner or later, its high efficiency will sweep away everything else. Will go to the most extreme place It will also precipitate its own problems and get out of control, but it is impossible to abandon it before a better rule can be found to replace it. What should I do..."
" In addition to the fact that every generation in the future will continue to patch it up and provide vaccines, we can only do something that is not a retreat..."
"Take the land back. When some people can't stand it, at least ...Go back to farming..."
Ning Yi has been promoting the development of research and capital over the years. Although he occasionally talks about some future issues, he does not go into depth. At this time, when it comes to the last few sentences, Wen Ding and Wen Yu are no longer very understanding, but they have already I was used to my brother-in-law occasionally making strange remarks. At this time, I looked at each other and didn't say much.
In the pavilion where the cool breeze blew, Ning Yi took a sip of tea.
“...This time it’s a big deal, I’m not sure if it can be done, but we must do it while the Chinese army can still kill people on the Chengdu Plain. The success of land reform proves that we have succeeded in seizing power... ...Tell these uncles that no matter what kind of regulations are in the end, be conscious and don't do anything that will make your relatives happy and your enemies happy..."
He waved his hand slightly. (End of this chapter)
