Chapter 1215 Smoldering (5)

Southeast Fujian, just when Ning Ji and the little bitch have embarked on a new journey, the southwest land where he started is also in a state of vitality. in the spring.

The meaning of this spring is not limited to the changes in the four seasons that occur every year, but with the initial success of the 100 Villages pilot last year, the wheels of land reform are moving towards a wider area on the Chengdu Plain. Speeding away from the place, this strange and shocking thing is whizzing past in all directions of this plain as time goes by.

In each village, the land reform was pushed to the predetermined position step by step. Some were confused and doubtful, and some did not believe and then resisted. The bystanders were first indifferent, then shocked, and then... In disbelief, some people felt lost, others cheered, and some wrote poems to welcome the arrival of a new era.

Such a new era is not a simple concept or an inspiring outline. In the spring of March in Chengdu, countless concepts are being sorted out by "new cultural people" in the public opinion field this spring. It is more concrete and thrown out, and the fierce confrontation is more turbulent than any other moment in the past.

Only then did people discover that in the past ten years or so, the core members of the Chinese Army led by Ning Yi have continuously conducted "paper talk"-style cultural deductions to achieve results, whether it is equality or the four peoples, or they are all weird and weird. Humanistic hypothesis, at this time when the "land reform" was officially implemented, In an instant, the blade has been sharpened and the bullets have been filled. People have begun to deduce various great future prospects based on the reality of this huge change, and the immature "new cultural people" are surging in their hearts. Among them, we continue to enrich the specific theoretical system.

Any monotonous concepts and so-called great prospects are actually powerless in the face of systematic Confucian theory and thousands of years of practice samples. People can clearly see the various unachievable consequences of these monotonous theories. What is this reason? Therefore, during the great discussion in the past few years, there are actually various Chinese military theory researchers who are gradually convinced by the knowledgeable and knowledgeable scholars from outside. But at this moment, the theoretical framework that had been prepared for more than ten years and involved different directions began to be combined with the pace of practice, the system began to confront the system, and the utopian theories and prospects began to be shaped by reality.

Then the strange giant began to stretch its body from the old earth, the soil and mountains were pushed away, and vague thunder spread across the wilderness.

In the eyes of various scholars and observers, the regicide Ning Yi, who had been doing good to others for several years, finally began to show his arrogant imagination and powerful power that overwhelmed the entire era.

If we talk about his desperate regicide on the Golden Palace more than ten years ago, his arrogant words to destroy Confucianism, and even his feat of defeating the Jurchen West Route Army in the Chengdu Plain, they are still within the scope of people's understanding. imagination, then the implementation of this “land reform” will really It is a crazy behavior that goes beyond the imagination of all high-level Confucians - there will be people in history who do such things, but almost without exception it will turn into a carnival of destruction without creation. A rational person will never do it easily, and No matter which way it is done, it will end in collapse in a short period of time.

But this time, it didn't.

The Chinese Army pushed such reforms to every village on the list with an unprecedented degree of organization. It abandoned the cooperation of local villagers and reshaped the appearance of every village on the road like a razor. appearance, not only pushed away the old resistance, but even began to recruit new people during the advancement of this change, and conducted training and education on the Four People's Thoughts. This practice began to be given to public opinion centers everywhere in the past ten years or so. The "fantasy" breathes real life.

Small-scale confrontations and fighting are breaking out frequently. In Chengdu, countless people began to make suggestions to the Congress of the Chinese Army and even Ning Yi himself. Even a group of old Confucianists "knocked on the door" in the government square. Describing the following pros and cons - they no longer care about the "death-and-death" relationship with the Chinese army.

But Ning Yi remained unmoved, and the figure shown by his will and strength was shrouded under the entire southwest sky at this moment, piercing the stake of power into the ground.

The new theoretical framework will not destroy the old framework, and even when practice has just begun, it cannot be said to have the upper hand; relying on the violence of the military to promote land reform step by step and absorb new people, It is also impossible to truly destroy the huge root system of Xiangxian culture within a few years. But at least at this moment, the thoughts and structures of the four people have been injected into the soul. The skeleton is wrapped with flesh and skin, its heart begins to beat, the blood circulates, and under its feet, there is a real life force with vitality. The roots have begun to penetrate into the ground, and they have really begun to compete with the huge force of rural sages for nutrients.

Huge changes will affect every form of existence in society. In Chengdu, the confrontation between old Confucianism and new Confucianism is just a derivative wave at the cultural level. In every settlement of migrant workers, people who had lost their hometown and signed a contract of sale began to inquire about the possibility of settling in the southwest or joining the Chinese army and fighting out to obtain land. This kind of expectation and enthusiasm has set off a wave of enthusiasm. . Correspondingly, the gentry from all walks of life who opened factories or invested in Chengdu began to worry about the changes in the situation. On the other hand, they were also actively looking for various opportunities amidst such changes.

Just like "Lin Chu" Lin Qiu, who now holds a high position in the Ministry of Commerce, he has been experiencing the impact of waves of corrosion in recent times.

Lin Jingmei and others, under the guidance of Li Shishi, have recently tried to make proposals to cooperate with the land reform to attract migrant workers as the backbone; and after two busy days of getting married during the Spring Festival, her husband Peng Yueyun has already He was sent to an unknown place by Ning Yi to perform a mission. He has not been seen for more than two months.

In the residence near the Maha Pond, Ning Yi was so busy that he had no time to write articles and curse people in the newspaper.

The landlords in the outside world who are complaining about their interests being violated, and the old Confucians who are afraid of knocking on the door can’t see him now, and he has no time to pay attention to these various individual voices. Countless data every day They were all gathering in the center. Ning Yi remained expressionless most of the time, pretending to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but he became distracted more often and sometimes lost his temper.

Although he did not have personal contact with the old Confucians outside and did not listen to grievances, Ning Yi still read newspapers every day. For a period of time, he especially liked to read the prospects of various "new cultural figures" on reform. He saw more than ten The various arguments discussed over the years were constantly enriched and thrown out, and gradually this type of newspaper would be piled on top. After reading it for a few days, he became furious, replaced the person in charge of the Secretariat, and then added I took out various newspaper articles that denounced land reform and read them for several days.

The progress of land reform has expanded from the one hundred villages under his direct control to larger areas. Nearly 10,000 basic members of the backbone force and 1,000 working groups will complete the transformation of tens of thousands of villages in the southwest within two years. There is not much possibility of problems with military support, but these 1,000 Each working group has begun to gradually escape his sight. Although overcorrection will inevitably lead to various deviations and problems, the problems that arise in each working group may become the root cause of future necrosis.

After more than ten years of accumulation, we have barely built a framework from a cultural perspective and established a practical cycle from the grassroots level. It is gratifying to have it implemented, but in the next few years, once a big change occurs on the practical level, Problem, the entire reform framework may still turn into a sandcastle on the beach. Although it is said that the seeds of thought have fallen, before it matures from a practical level, every twists and turns will still be at the cost of the destruction of millions of people, even an era.

At this moment, he actually felt fear and anxiety in his heart. Of course, on the surface, such emotions were no longer suitable to be shown to anyone.

Occasionally, there will be news from the outside world, such as the Western Expedition of Jin Dynasty; various small actions of Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu; the advancement and changes of the Fair Party; the bumps of the small southeast court or the actions of the Jin people. In the past, he would regard these as entertainment, but recently he only glanced at them briefly and passed them to the departments below, asking them to do things step by step.

Only occasionally when I was lost in thought, I felt a lot more emotions about "Why bother?"

In the Chengdu Plain in March, in addition to the gradual expansion of land reform, rain or shine, more realistic spring plowing is also underway. In the peaceful land, people who are far away from the war are generally living a stable life. In Wenpu County, which is further southwest, Tang Minjie, who was sent here for more than half a year, experienced the most peaceful and fulfilling period in his life.

Like a dream.

After more than half a year of work, he is now considered an old man at the 223 Agricultural Research Institute. His daily work is still simple: collecting manure outside Wenpu County in the early morning and giving it to some nearby children or A few late Yexiang women did some literacy lessons, and then returned to the research institute near Xiaoye Village for fertilization, and then tried their best to return to the dung station in Wenpu County before night.

During this period, perhaps because Peng Yueyun came to talk to him several times, or because of the impact of something as big or small as the fact that he opened a literacy class at the dung station, the research The director of the institute, Chen Cirang, talked to him several times and tried to transfer him to a cleaner position. He also thought about doing some publicity for his literacy class, but Tang Minjie refused as gently as possible.

After living there for a while, through a friend introduced by Peng Yueyun, some newspapers from Chengdu could also be purchased in Wenpu County. Tang Minjie spent most of his small—but almost useless—salary expenses in Wenpu County. In this way, through the newspaper, he can clearly see the drastic changes in the outside world. After reading the newspaper every day, he will read and explain various news from the outside world to the children in the literacy class the next morning.

"Understanding the world, you will become more useful people in the future."

And because of his actions, people occasionally spread the word in private: The boy who collects excrement at the excrement station , maybe he is a big shot outside.

Of course, even if someone came to get close to him, Tang Minjie, who was not teaching, did not show any characteristics of a "big shot" in his interactions, although he would take a shower while reading books and newspapers to the children. , but most of the time he was slightly hunched over with tired body, and occasionally he would use his hands to dig at his bare feet walking in the mud. Due to collecting feces for a long time, his body also had a faint odor, and few ordinary people could grow like him. Spend time together or talk.

He Qing, the Yexiang woman who first proposed teaching to him, had shown a good impression of him for a period of time. She once offered to starch and mend his clothes, and she once gave him a hand-picked gift. A pair of cloth shoes and a few insoles, but after Tang Minjie clearly expressed his reasoning, the relationship between the two parties returned to a certain distance. He Qing didn't understand where Tang Minjie's resistance came from, but it was extremely difficult to understand people so deeply. The other party didn't have particularly good conditions, so she couldn't really show off. Not dry.

Spring plowing in the southwest has started in February, and every household is very busy. Land reform from the outside world is the most frequently mentioned topic in everyone's mouth during this period. Some landowners are also very worried. Even in mid-February, There have been some bad conflicts and murders that caused uproar, but they are still far away from Tang Minjie and others.

At the end of February, a small working group split from the original one hundred villages and came to a small village east of Wenpu County. It is said that the steps of land reform have begun. Young Ye Xiangfu secretly went over to watch, and when she came back she told Tang Minjie that the daughter-in-law of a landlord's family had hanged herself and was rescued with great difficulty. In fact, the family's reputation was usually pretty good...

Various fine pieces The news was mixed with all kinds of news from newspapers every day. Tang Minjie felt his heart surge again in the calmness. The waves of the times were warming his broken heart. He occasionally thought of those Han slaves far in the north, and the sound in his mind them Howling, he would think of Chen Wenjun again, and he would think: "Mrs. Chen, can you know what is happening here? Can you feel the warmth here..." The only thing that responded to him was in his mind. The howling north wind.

In early March, the land reform process in the villages near Wenpu seemed to be a bit intense. In Wenpu County, soldiers from the Chinese Army came once or twice. This kind of thing is of course not surprising. Landlords in the world Not all are bad people. In many places, small landowners with bad reputations cannot survive. These things are structural injustices. When they develop to a deeper level, they can only be broken before new ones can be formed. cycle. The Huaxia Army did not fight this land reform roughly to the end, and arranged some redemption and negotiation regulations. However, for some people who feel that it is not easy to accumulate land, there will of course be situations where they are unwilling to accept it no matter what, but if If they fail to negotiate at a fixed time, they will most likely be crushed to death.

Tang Minjie didn't have much feelings about these things.

In this way, on the evening of March 13th, when he was driving the dung truck back to Wenpu County, he felt a different atmosphere. In the distance, there seemed to be a commotion. The law enforcement teams from the county were searching the surrounding areas. There were even men with armbands on the roadside, vigilantly observing pedestrians leaving Wenpu County on the road. Some people made simple inquiries.

While passing by, I heard a conversation.

"What happened..."

"...Qiu Yuanwai from Erqing Village injured someone with a knife. I heard he killed someone who came down from the work group... "

"Killed someone?" Hearing what these people said, Tang Minjie frowned and went over to ask curiously for the first time. After that, he didn't get an affirmative answer. He was probably sure. , that is, another dispute broke out in Erqing Village, and a murderous case occurred.

At this time, the sun was setting. Tang Minjie returned to the dung collection station with the dung truck, untied the mules, and did some simple cleaning. When it got dark, another team came over with torches on the road to search, and someone knocked open the door. After entering the door, Tang Minjie was led by a Chinese soldier who he knew had been on the battlefield at a glance. He was accompanied by a security guard. After asking and confirming his identity, he asked if there was any special movement in the evening. Perhaps because both parties belonged to the Chinese military organization, when the entourage was asked to go in for a general search, they saluted Tang Minjie and asked him if he had been on the front line.

Tang Minjie shook his head and said no.

The group searched and left.

It was almost dark at this time. Tang Minjie locked the door, then grabbed a knife, moved a chair, and sat down on the high platform next to the dung truck for easy dumping of dung. All his movements after closing the door were silent, and he sat there looking at the stars and moon in the sky like a ghost. After about a while, there was movement in the dung bucket. A figure quietly pushed open the lid of the dung bucket. When he poked his head out, he saw the figure sitting on the chair nearby, and him. The knife hanging on the ground.

“Come out.”

A tired voice sounded.

"Tell me why you shouldn't die."

This is a small episode that happened half a year after Tang Minjie returned to Southwest...

Soon, it will cause some movement.

Just like in a big era, insignificant small waves... (End of this chapter)
