Time has entered September, and when most people in the world have focused their attention on the fight between Liu Guangshi and Zou Xu north of the Yangtze River, and on the heroes meeting held by the Fair Party in Jiangning, a complex storm is also unfolding in the southwest.
is brewing quietly.
This is the second meeting of the First Chinese People's Congress. Compared with the first meeting last year, which gathered people from all directions and attracted 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 meeting. It has only been a year, and this year's meeting, at first glance, looks more like a continuation of some of last year's work.
Filling in the gaps, and 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 at the congress and the more interesting gossip content in the southwest market have 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 "being fair"
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 and August until September, various large newspapers in Chengdu used a certain amount of space to introduce the Fairness Party's affairs three thousand miles away.
Of course, such an introduction is not detailed first-hand information, but more of a framework description based on theory, program, and general practices. Some bold newspapers even published some comparisons of the similarities and differences between the practices of the Huaxia Army and the Fair Party.
, the article on theoretical differences seems to be to describe the advanced nature of the Chinese military framework, but 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 and even fabricated stories based on the news of the Fair Party under such circumstances. For example, the five Fairmen
The Party King's Huashan sword debate, the Wheel King bullying men and women, Zhou Shang killing people like hemp, etc.
This ordinary 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 on the proposal list of the conference. An inexplicable wave of
A depressing atmosphere began to gather in Chengdu.
Several proposals on "land reform" were thrown out by several representatives with business backgrounds, and were gradually listed as key discussion topics at the conference. At the same time, some authoritative newspapers in Chengdu continued to criticize the Fair Party
Discussions about means began to focus on the theory of "people's livelihood" among the so-called "four peoples" of the Chinese Army.
This is an elephant in the room.
For people watching the excitement, such a discussion does not mean much. It is neither comparable to the fame of the traitors Zou Xu and Liu Guangshi north of the Yangtze River, nor the Jiangning Conference that determines the future of the entire Jiangnan. But in the southwest, some
The nerves of certain 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 various places gathered at the conference in Chengdu.
In front of the building, he knelt down to file a complaint. The complaint was against several veterans of the Chinese Army who were sent to the countryside after retiring. They acted arrogantly in the village and bullied men and women. There were detailed witnesses for the accusations of these things.
testimony.
In the evening of the same day, a representative who proposed "land reform" was assassinated by a murderer in the boulevard beside Yingbin Road after the meeting ended, and blood spattered on the ground.
A large number of lobbyists and inquirers are already taking action in secret.
After the agenda for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, 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
After the wedding, Wen Yu stayed, 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 Wenyu and Su Wenyu looked at each other with a wry smile. Then Su Wending said: "How dare you, brother-in-law, the man originally captured was Wen Yu, but I happened to be there.
People nearby were pulled up together. To be honest, several people at home were nervous and asked us to come together to find out what they had learned and then relay it back to us so that we could not 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 must be done."
"What do you think?" Ning Yi asked.
"Aren't you just unprepared?" Wen Yu smiled bitterly, "You have mentioned land reform a few times before, but this time, there are really no signs outside. Look at those people outside, how unprepared are they? The conference
Before, I thought that this matter would not come to the surface, but who knew that 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. Now there are all kinds of speculations in and outside the city, some say
It’s my brother-in-law who suddenly wants to take action. Some people say it’s just the gameplay of the congress and they are not familiar enough..."
"...caught off guard. I think they moved quickly enough." Ning Yi smiled, "What you said next is right. They are not familiar enough with the gameplay of the congress, so they are not sensitive enough. But
Under such circumstances, someone reacted so quickly yesterday that they organized more than 20 people to file a complaint and prepared evidence, and even started killing people at night. I didn't expect them to be so fast... Several people came today
My uncle wasn’t involved, was he?”
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 beginning to feel more confident."
Sitting in the pavilion by the lake, Ning Yi looked at the water and murmured these words. Wen Ding and Wen Yu beside him were silent for a moment with numb scalps.
Wen Ding said: "Then...brother-in-law, how are we going to cooperate in this matter? How far will it go? 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, and Su Wenyu thought for a moment: "...Land reform, it seems, is just four words, but in fact, it will determine the foundation of everyone in the southwest. This matter is really too big. You suddenly throw it out, outside
The general view is that you want to test everyone’s reaction, so there are so many people privately asking and lobbying 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, which has 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..."
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 opinions, and there may be room for change, I think you must do something. There is one
Signal, in July you began to thoroughly investigate military problems, and then in August, you asked the Seventh Army to switch defenses with the Fifth Army's Second and Fifth Divisions. It seemed that you were dealing with the Seventh Army and the Fifth Army being stationed in one place for a long time.
Corruption issues, but in fact, the Seventh Army has never performed garrison missions in the southwest, and it is still a complete outsider here."
"...On the other hand, every item among the four people seems to be too big and unreasonable. When it comes to implementing it, everyone thinks it is extremely difficult, but brother-in-law, you are not a person who talks for fun. We used to be in Xiaocanghe,
In Liangshan, the place was not big, and we were living there later. There was no 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 ended, we have been repairing it for more than a year, and we are moving forward.
Let’s go, the vested interests you mentioned are about to take root in the southwest, and I’m afraid now is the last time to break up…”
"I think... you don't want 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 concerns?"
"You talked about the issue of capital before." Su Wending said, "You said that the development of the Chinese army will be based on capital and capital. And the development of these capitals may sooner or later cause most people to lose their land.
, On the one hand, you said that you want to promote this matter, but on the other hand, if you really want to promote its development, is it not contrary to it to carry out land reform at this time to give farmers land? After all, if everyone
If the land is divided, will there be fewer people who will run away?"
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 said that capital is powerful
Rules, we must promote and make good use of them, so the risks of land reform at this time... are a little too great..."
When Su Tan'er officially took charge of the family, and Ning Yi made a plan to go to Beijing to help Qin Siyuan, he began to take Su Wenfang, Su Wending, Su Wenyu, and Su Yanping, who were relatively close to the second roommate of the Su family, with him to train him. They had in-depth teachings in the early days, and some
There were a lot of conversations. Over the years, the four of them each had their own responsible side, and the exchanges were less. But when 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. This year, land is at a premium, and some businessmen began to consider developing in the surrounding areas, and some landlords joined in.
There are those who cooperate well, and there are those who raise prices... Before the meeting, I made some instigations, so some businessmen felt that the Chinese military government would strongly support the construction of factories, but many people with land in their hands were stubborn, resulting in
If the land cannot be approved, then... they will 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 several landowners to compromise... But the proposal has been sent to them, how can they possibly
It can still be suppressed. I am just going with the flow, so things will come up..."
Su Wenyu blinked: "So my brother-in-law did make the decision from the beginning."
"Things have just begun. Although it doesn't make much sense to divert everyone's attention, sooner or later it will be a battle." Ning Yi smiled, "Only a few founding courts in the past dynasties could push forward such matters as land reform.
If it goes on, the impact it brings may not always be good. Just like what you said, Wen Ding, everyone is almost dying of poverty, and suddenly everyone is given a piece of land. How can my factory recruit people?
But in the long run, if it succeeds, most of it will have 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 soft, but the back of Wen Yu's head suddenly felt numb, and there seemed to be fire burning around him.
"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. The stability of the largest rural areas depends on the local virtuous people. This actually hands over a large part of the state power. Of course, all dynasties have
We have insufficient political resources, so it makes sense to do so... But at this point where we have developed people's wisdom, we can consider making new changes."
"Wen Yu is right. In the past, in the Xiaocang River and in the Liangshan Mountains, although we had shouted slogans for a long time, we had no basis for doing so. When we started to rule the southwest, we had been preparing for the war and did not start to implement these policies.
...In fact, no matter how beautiful the policy is, it is only true if there are no preconditions for its implementation..."
"After winning the Southwest War, we rehabilitated thousands of soldiers and sent them to the countryside. One after another, we sent teachers, doctors, circuit courts, and began to form militia teams. The essence of these things
, are all preparing to abolish the power base of Xiangxian, and now, this preparation... is a bit reluctant, but it can indeed be launched..."
"Continuing to maintain the private ownership of land and maintain its free flow can indeed provide capital and a hotbed for the development of 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 holding 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 the farmers who have been allocated their land. They will stand by us and we will fight out in the future. More
People will welcome us, and we can make unified plans for the development of all places, without having to look at the private ownership of land..."
He smiled slightly: "After we conquered the Southwest, there was no drastic division of land and production, mainly because there was no point in hastily dividing the fields in areas that could not be managed. This itself was part of military training and seizing power. Some in the Southwest
People think that I have a gentle attitude, and I also treat some of the landowners who were on our side very favorably, thinking that I can bargain with them. In fact, if it is just a little economic benefit, I can be compensated, but anyone still wants to be a village sage, or
It is possible to become a village sage... but it will lead to death."
"As for the capital that Wen Ding mentioned is a strong rule." Ning Yi said this, 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, and it will go to the most extreme place. It will also precipitate its own problems and then get out of control. However, it is best to abandon it before a better rule can be found to replace it.
It’s impossible, what should I do..."
"Except for the fact that every generation in the future will continue to patch it up and develop vaccines, we can only do something first that is not a retreat..."
"Take back the land. When some people can't bear 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 the land reform proves that we have succeeded in seizing power... Tell a few uncles,
No matter what kind of charter it is in the end, be conscious and don’t do anything that will please your loved ones and your enemies..."
