The First Political Strategy
After inspecting the fields and determining the production, the party obtained a basis for collecting taxes in the countryside. This did not help the party get out of its predicament. The urban population was growing rapidly, the number of officials had increased, the industry was developing, and the number of workers was also increasing. The country's grain reserves were buying less and selling more, causing food prices to rise. There was panic in the cities, and the spring frost disaster also left serious repercussions.
Food prices were rising, and the food sector had become its barometer. The one who felt the most about Shaxi Street was Qimou. Shaxi Street, where Qimou worked, was a big town. There were thousands of people engaged in commerce, industry, and transportation. They had nothing to do with agriculture, but they had to eat thousands of catties of rice every day. Because the rice shops could not get rice from the national warehouse, the supply seemed to be tight. The price of rice rose a little today and tomorrow. After a few days, the price of rice rose greatly. Those people living in the town could not bear it.
When Qimou returned home, he told Sui Chu about what he had seen and heard. He didn't want to listen to Sui Chu's opinion. He was just talking nonsense. Sui Chu said," This is a good thing. The grain price is high, and the farmers have another way to survive.”
"This is not a good thing. If this continues, the country will be in chaos.”
Sui Chu said," Why should the country be afraid of chaos? Isn't the Chinese Party very capable? We must seek governance in chaos!”
Qimou said," Isn't it good not to be in chaos? Why must you be in chaos? Who wants the country to be in chaos? Think about it, I went to the rice jar to scoop rice to cook today. There was no rice in the rice jar, so I thought of the sudden rise in the price of rice. My heart was originally calm, but when I thought of the rise in the price of rice, I panicked.”
Sui Chu said,"He deserves it. Who told him not to farm? Who told him to covet an easy life?"”
Qimou said," Master, you can't say that. There is a division of labor in society. You have to wear clothes and shoes. You can't do it yourself, right?”
Sui Chu said," I made it myself. Have you seen me wearing the clothes and shoes sold in the city?”
"Even so, where did the salt you eat come from? Where did the lamp oil you lit come from?"”
Sui Chu said,"I can boil the saltpeter myself, and I can order some oil wicks."”
"I won't say it, I won't say it. You're still being reasonable."”
After the price of grain rose, farmers did not sell their grain to make a profit. Instead, they held the grain in their hands. They didn't sell their food in the market not because they wanted to hoard it and wait for a higher price, but because they wanted to prevent a disaster from happening. What if a food shortage happened? He was the last checkpoint. With precautions, he would not starve to death.
"How much wheat did you harvest this spring?" Sui Chu asked Guo Chu.”
Guo Chu said," Not much, just 300 to 500 catties. The country has called for the grain to be sold in the market. I sold 100 catties. Of course, it can't save the country. After all, it's like throwing a drop of water into the sea.”
Sui Chu said,"You're coaxing ghosts. I reckon you've harvested at least a thousand catties of wheat."”
Guo Chu said,"Big brother, you can't go outside and say this. I'm a party member. It'll ruin my reputation."”
Sui Chu said,"Reputation is made by oneself, not by others.”
Sheng Group wanted to pick the wheat to sell in the market and had already filled the basket. His wife sat on it and did not allow Sheng Group to pick it up. She even called her eldest son, Hua Chamber Pot, over to help. Hua Chamberpot was 13 years old and was half an adult. He and his mother each sat in a wicker basket. Sheng Group looked at them and said helplessly.
Sheng Group said," Do you know who I am? I'm the village branch secretary. I have to take the lead in responding to the call of the party. If I don't pick the grain to sell in the market, others won't move.”
Sheng Group's wife said," You're a secretary, but you still have to eat. You're not the only one who grows this food. Chamber Pot and I have put in a lot of effort. It's not up to you to decide."”
Sheng Group said," You ugly woman, what are you talking about? This grain was all made by me alone. You actually said that I can't deal with it? You're rebelling against me!"”
Sheng Group's wife said," I'm going to rebel today. If you want to pick me, I'll have to die."”
"Yes, yes, yes, unless you kill us both, Master."”
Sheng Group was so angry that two long snot flowed out like a pair of white chopsticks. He lowered his head and swung his snot hard on his wife before walking out of the door.
His wife scolded,"You're selling western noodles? You're opening a noodle shop!"”
Chamber Pot also said," You're selling western noodles, you're opening a noodle shop!”
This year, the food problem in Shaxi Street was only a microcosm in the country. All the cities in the country had such a problem, and some cities were even very serious. The country had emptied all the grain reserves to prevent a major panic.
The upper echelons of the party were seriously considering the issue of food. They wanted to see if there was a way to solve this problem. If they wanted to sit on this chair for a long time, they had to solve it.
In the end, the party adopted Chen Yun's suggestion to implement the unified purchase and marketing of grain in the countryside and abolish the free market for grain. The party wanted to control the grain in the country.
In the middle of October, Xiushui township held a meeting of the entire township's Party members to implement the resolution of the Party. At the meeting, Village Head Pan led everyone to study the provisions of the "Central Committee's resolution on the unified purchase and marketing of grain". When he learned that "all the purchase volume and supply volume, purchase standards and supply standards, purchase prices and supply prices, etc. must be uniformly stipulated by the central government or approved by the central government", he put down the document and explained.
Village Head Pan said,"The state monopoly on purchase and marketing should be discussed separately. The state monopoly on purchase applies to our rural areas, while the state monopoly on marketing applies to the cities. From now on, the government will have the final say on how much grain the peasants have to pay. It is also up to the party to decide how we farmers should pay the country. The price at which the country bought grain from the farmers was also decided by the party. Our party governs the heavens, the earth, and the earth. There's nothing we can't control.”
"To put it simply, farmers can no longer freely buy and sell grain, and the Party wants to control the grain market. There were two purposes for farmers to produce grain. One was to eat it themselves, and the other was to sell the excess. From now on, you can't buy and sell on your own. You have to sell to the country. The price isn't set by you farmers, but by our party. Once the standard amount of grain is set, we won't care if you have a good harvest or bad harvest. Even if you don't have any surplus grain, you have to sell it because this is a national mission. Completing the national mission is your obligation.”
"I also want to make it clear that the word 'unification' in the monopoly purchase refers to a game of chess for the whole country. It is a state act. If you don't listen to it, the state has the right to take measures against you.‘Buying was a transaction, at least on the surface. However, it had to be explained here that this transaction was a single aspect of the country and had nothing to do with the farmers. In addition, some food countries would not give you money. That was agricultural taxes that you had to pay for free.”
"The unified marketing has nothing to do with our rural areas. The target of grain sales is not us farmers, but the urban population. The amount of food that each person eats in a month, the standard amount for adults, the standard amount for children, and the price at which they are sold to the urban population are all set by our party.”
"Does anyone still have any questions? You might ask, the rules of the party are rules, what if others don't follow them? Then let me tell you, there is a term called speculation and a crime called speculation. If you buy and sell grain privately and are caught by our party, you will be sentenced to jail. When the time comes, don't say,'I produced the food myself, why can't I make the decision to buy and sell it myself?'”
After Village Head Pan finished speaking, Mei Yang asked from below,""Village Head Pan, can we discuss this?”
Village Head Pan said," You must be joking. This is the rule of the Central Committee. You're just an ordinary Party member. How can you discuss the rules of the Central Committee? You can only execute it!"
As soon as Village Head Pan finished speaking, the crowd started to talk about everything.
Sheng Group said,"Great, we've been strangled." They say the party liberated us, but I think the party has strangled us.”
Merlot said," I don't understand. We can't make the decision for the food we grow ourselves. When did such a thing happen? They even said that we've made the decision. Who's making the decision?"”
Mei Yang said," The Party is really good. They manage the world, the land, and the grain. They even manage the people's mouths. Which of you have ever seen an emperor control people's mouths? I don't think so!"
After returning home, Sheng Group and the others still had to follow Village Head Pan's instructions. They could not tell the farmers what they thought. He and Mei Yang were preparing to hold a farmers 'meeting in the village to carry out the spirit of the township government meeting.
Sheng Group said," I'll organize the meeting and host it. Mei Yang, you'll be the speaker. You'll convey the spirit of the meeting."”
Mei Yang said," Secretary Sheng, you've messed things up. You're the secretary, and I'm the deputy secretary. You're the one who's going to do the report."”
Sheng Group said,"Your eloquence is better than mine. You can talk and turn white into black. You're the most suitable."”
The southern end of the Golden Mouth Ridge was also called Nanshan. There was a large flat ground on the Yellow Earth Ridge. There was not a single blade of grass on it. The Sheng Group had chosen this place as the venue for the entire village. Then, they had gathered all the farmers in the village here for a meeting.
This was the first farmers 'meeting after the village was built, and also the first official meeting between the village party branch and everyone. The farmers felt that it was very novel. Today, they not only wanted to see the people in their own houses, but also the people in other houses. The Sheng team held a bugle in their hands and shouted while spraying water as they drove the people inside. Sun Yunan and Sun Weizhen from Sun Village were also members of the party branch. They also helped the Sheng Group organize the venue.
The meeting began. Sheng Group said," We, Maple Ridge, Sun Village, Fan Village, and a few other houses form an administrative village. Our village is called Southern Mountain Village. There are 18 party members in our village who have formed a party branch. I am the secretary elected by Village Head Pan. Today, we are holding a meeting to carry out the provisions of the Party on the issue of food.”
Mei Yang found Sheng Group's words a little funny. Sheng Group was the secretary chosen by Village Head Pan. Did that make sense? It was more like he was the secretary appointed by Village Head Pan.
Mei Yang gave a report at the meeting. He repeated what Village Head Pan said and made his own speech. When he felt that he had cleared the air, he ended his report.
After the meeting ended, the farmers walked home in twos and threes, talking about something. They did not pay much attention to Mei Yang's report, nor did they know what the report was referring to. They only treated it as a report.
"Do you know what Mei Yang said?”
Yao Shan said,"I didn't hear it too clearly. It seems that the party is going to distribute food to everyone."”
Gu Chu said," You were standing there and dreaming. The party didn't want to distribute food to everyone. They wanted everyone to hand over food. Do you know? It's when you hand over the food you produce to them.”
Yao Shan said,"You must have heard wrongly. You must have dozed off while standing and had such a nightmare." I only heard that the Northern soldiers came to rob us of our food, the Japanese army came and didn't want our food, and the Chinese government said that they were the saviors of the poor. Why would they want our food? Only by giving us food would they be our saviors.”
The meeting held by the Sheng Group did not alarm the farmers. The farmers did not pay attention to it. They did not listen properly, nor did they think about it. What really shocked the peasants was the subsequent implementation of the unified purchase quantity. The unified purchase quantity was set level by level, and finally it was implemented on the peasants.
Team Sheng called Lan Xin over and asked her to calculate the number, to see how many catties of grain was spread out in one mu of land, and then to be specific to each household.
Lan Xin quickly calculated that 260 catties per mu of land was not enough, but 250 catties was more than enough.
Mei Yang said,"Then let's make it 260 catties per mu. The few of us will get 250 catties per mu."”
Sheng Group said,"You're so stupid. Is this even possible?" Are you going to take responsibility for it?"
Mei Yang said," Then let's make it 260 catties per mu. Our village's figure will exceed it. The higher-ups will praise us. In the future, if we have the opportunity to transfer, this will also be a sum of money."”
After a night of calculation, Lan Xin gave each household a note stating how much land they had to pay and how much grain they had to pay.
The people from the branch took these notes to each household to implement.
Team Sheng came to Xiu Meng's house. Xiu Meng said,"I don't know how to farm, and I don't farm. I don't want this cop. I can't even eat for myself. How can I sell food to the country?”
Sheng Group said," It's not up to you. It's not the country's business that you don't have food. You still have to complete the country's mission. Otherwise, your family's land will be taken over by the country."”
Xiu Meng said,"It's good to keep it, it's good to keep it. Just say that!"”
Team Sheng was stunned. She knew that she was speechless, but she couldn't correct him immediately.
Sheng Group came to Fei Zhang's house to deliver the note. Fei Zhang looked at the note and pondered for a moment before saying,"I have a family of eight now and have 12 acres of land. I have to pay more than 3,000 catties of grain to the country. I feel that your party is unfair. During the land reform, you confiscated the land of the landlord. The landlord is an enemy, and we rich peasants are also enemies, but you didn't confiscate our land. You should confiscate our land!”
The Sheng team didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Fei Zhang's words, and didn't know how to respond.
After Happy came out, Sheng Group went to Mei Mo's house. He handed the note to Mei Mo and said,""Uncle Mei Mo, this note contains the amount of grain your family has to pay to the country.”
Mei Mo said,"I don't know how to read. Tell me."”
Sheng Group picked up the note and said,"There are three people in your family. Four acres and five plots of land. Pay 1,170 catties of grain."”
Mei Mo said," How about this? I don't want the land that was given to my family by the land reform. I'll just plant the original one bucket and two liters of land that my family has. I've experienced thousands of dynasties, but I've never seen such a dynasty. I can't afford it.”
"No, no, your family is a poor farmer. You should enjoy the fruits of victory."”
" This fruit is too big and too heavy," Mei Mo said." It'll get stuck in my throat."”
Sheng Group left. He didn't want to talk to such a person anymore.
Mei Yang had encountered the same thing as the Sheng Group. He was the first to walk into Shu Yun's house. Shu Yun was his closest clansman, so he thought that he should care more about Shu Yun.
Mei Yang handed the note to Shu Yun and said to her,""There are seven people in your family now, and you have ten mu of paddy fields. You should hand over 2,600 catties of grain to the country.”
Shu Yun said,"Who made this rule? Is it yours or the country's?"”
Mei Yang said," Brother Shu Yun, please forgive me. I don't have that much ability. This is a national regulation."”
Shu Yun said," Where is the country? I've never seen a country before. Tell the country to come and tell me."”
Shu Yun's words stumped Mei Yang, the resourceful star. He scratched his head and thought for a while before saying,"As for the country, it's the party, and the party is the country. I'm the party, and I'm speaking on behalf of the party, which means I'm representing the country.”
Shu Yun said," Go away, go away. You're blind. You can only represent yourself." I only harvest a few grains a year, and you want me to pay more than 2,000 catties to the country? Is there a party like you? Is there a country like you?”
Mei Yang went to Mei Cat's house. Not long after Mei Yu was executed, the government released Mei Cat and the others back home. However, the local government wanted to watch them as bad elements. They could only behave themselves and not talk nonsense.
Mei Yang said," Mei Mao, oh Mei Mao, good news is coming. Your family has five people now and has more than seven acres of land. The grain that has been handed over to the country is almost two thousand catties.”
" This is still a good thing," Mei Mao said." I pay 2000 catties a year, which means 20,000 catties in ten years." 20,000 catties of grain had to be filled in a house. Was it to feed pigs? Back then, we fought against the Japanese soldiers for seven years and only managed to collect a few coins. One of us was shot to death, and they even treated us as bad elements. What's going on now?”
Mei Yang said," Plum Cat, you can't talk nonsense. You can only listen to the government. You can't go against the government."”
The Plum Cat said," I know, I know. Stir-fry it three times now. Pigs don't eat it, and dogs don't smell it."”
Mei Yang left. He felt that this Mei Cat was not afraid of him at all. She did not put him in her eyes. She still had the heroic spirit of the past. She was so harsh in her words and so impulsive in her actions.
Mei Yang came to Chun Yan's house and said,""Landlord Chunyan, listen up. Your family has seven people and more than ten acres of paddy fields. Every year, you have to hand over 2,700 catties of grain to the country.”
Chunyan said," I'm really a landlord who's out of time. Other landowners give their land to the poor during land reform. As a landlord, I give the poor their land during land reform. Mei Yang, please spare me. I don't want the poor's land anymore. You should take the land that was given to me.”
Mei Yang said," Chunyan, as a landlord, you want us to fight, right? How can you deny land reform? You are saying that you shouldn't be called a landlord. You are saying that you have a heavy burden now. You are slandering the party!”
Chunyan said," I don't dare, I don't dare. How would I dare to slander the party? I still want to live a few more years."”
Mei Yang said," It's good that you know. Come and get the cops!"”
Sheng Group and Mei Yang finally distributed the slips to every household on this day. They thought that everything would be fine, but who knew that at night, their two families would be lively. Those farmers who had received the slips came to their homes to return the slips. They threw the slips on the tables in their homes and said very unpleasant words.
Meiji said,"I'm a lonely old man. I still have a tube when I sleep on my back, but I don't have a tube when I sleep on my stomach."”
Zu De said,"I'd better not be a poor farmer. I'll return the land to you. I don't want the note either."”
Xiu Lang said: " Since ancient times, there has never been such a way to do things. Now it's really novel. As long as you issue a note, you can take away the things you've earned through blood and sweat."”
Mei Mao said,"Liberation my ass. Our necks are about to be snapped."”
Shunyan said," I don't want the house and land that was given to my family during the land reform. I thought it was the fruit of victory, but it turned out to be a rotten fennel. This rotten fennel is still so big and heavy."”
There were really all kinds of rumors. The Sheng Group and Mei Yang's heads were blown up. The landowners and rich farmers also came to join in the fun. The landowners said that they did not want their land anymore since it had been changed. The rich peasants said that the land reform was unfair to them. Their land had not been changed, and the party should have taken it away.
The next day, Sheng Group and Mei Yang came to the township government and reported the situation of the unified purchase and marketing to Village Head Pan. Village Head Pan said,""Your situation is not an isolated case. It's a common phenomenon. It's the same in our village. It's also the same in the county. The monopoly of purchase and marketing was a new thing, and it was not easy for people to accept it all at once. This is the first political strategy that the party has implemented after the land reform. We must have strong determination and effective measures to make the peasants feel the power of the party and make them feel a little afraid. Otherwise, nothing can be done. How about this, you go back and mobilize the militia to capture a few landlords and rich peasants and lock them up for a few days to see if you can calm everyone down.”
Sheng Group said," The farmers are just expressing their opinions. Is it good for us to arrest and detain people for no reason?”
Mei Yang said," Village Head Pan is right. It's not that we want to arrest and lock them up. It's them who are resisting. It's impossible not to let them see some power. This political strategy will not be able to be pushed away.”
" Yes, yes," Village Head Pan said." Mei Yang understood the intentions of the higher-ups. Sheng Group, you have to learn from Mei Yang."”
Sheng Group and Mei Yang returned to Maple Ridge and called a few militiamen. They captured the rich farmers, such as De Chu, Chun Yan, Fei Zhang, and Huimin. They tied them up with hemp rope and escorted them to the township government with guns, knives, and batons. The township government did not have a prison. The captured landlord and rich farmer were locked up in a central room. There were no stools or chairs here. The people locked inside were either standing or sitting on the ground. There were militiamen standing guard at the door. Prince De and the others were neither the first nor the last. In just a day, dozens of people had squeezed in.
Two days later, the notes from Sheng Group and Mei Yang's house were taken away by the farmers.
Mei Yang said to the Sheng group," Secretary Sheng, you see, this trick is working. With just a scare, the farmers obediently surrendered. This is servility. They don't accept preaching, they only accept whipping.”
Sheng Group said," I think this is a bad move. You've put yourself on the opposite side of the farmers. How can it be good?"”
No one knew whether the situation was good or not. The Sheng Group and Mei Yang also couldn't say for sure. This depended on the farmers 'delivery of grain after the new grain entered the warehouse. If the farmers were active, the situation would be good. If the farmers were not proactive, the situation would not be good.
The rice in the fields had basically been harvested, and the drying of the grains had also ended. Each household stored the rice in the granary. Sheng Zu and Mei Yang held the earthen trumpet and shouted over and over again in the village, asking everyone to hand over the rice to the country. They said that the party members should take the lead in handing it over.
If the party members wanted to take the lead, they first had to have the leaders of the party branches take the lead. Sheng Group filled up the basket at home. His family had six people and nine acres of paddy field. The rice they had to hand over was more than 2,300 catties. He carried a stone and the chamber pot carried half a stone. The two grandfathers did not know when they would have to pick to complete the task.
Team Sheng's wife wanted to stop her again, but Team Sheng threatened her,""If you still don't get it, I'll send you to the township government to eat three or two meters of rice and let you learn there.”
Sheng Zu's wife said," Look at how much grain our family has harvested. You have to carry more than 2,000 catties to the country. What do we eat? We eat Guanyin clay and drink the northwest wind! When others become a cadre, they first think of themselves. Only a silly person like you always doesn't think of yourself when talking or doing things.”
Sheng Group didn't say anything else. He picked up the burden and left. He delivered four times a day and spent three days to pick up all the things that were to be handed over to the country. After the country's gifts were finished, the granary was empty. The Sheng Group was also very sad.
Mei Yang was also preparing to move the grain when Madam Fan said,""Fortunately, our family only has one person's land. Fortunately, we haven't given birth yet. Otherwise, we would have to sweat a lot and give our food to that country.”
Mei Yang said,"Keep your mouth clean, or I'll arrest you and send you to the township government."”
"I'm not someone you can scare," said Madam Fan."If you lock me up, you won't be able to mess around at night.”
Mei Yang only had a task of 400 pounds, but he completed it in a day. After completing his task, Mei Yang began to roll up his trousers and plow other people's fields. He picked up a broken gong and sifted it in the house all day long, asking everyone to quickly hand over the grain to the country. He said that if anyone did not complete the task, they would be sent to eat three or two meters of rice.
After seven days of hard work, there were finally some results. Although the farmers were pouting and cursing the nameless lady for delivering grain, the red flags of the township government continued to increase on their rankings day by day. Sheng Group and Mei Yang were slightly satisfied. After the craze for food delivery cooled down, the Sheng Group began to clean up the situation of each household's sales.
Team Sheng and Mei Yang came to Mei Ji's house. Team Sheng said,""Meiji, you only handed over one mu of grain. You're still missing half a mu. When will you hand it over?”
Meggie said,"No, that's all. If you think it's too little, return it to my father.”
"Whose father are you pretending to be?" Mei Yang asked. You didn't hand over all the grain, but you're still being reasonable!"
Meiji said," Are you blind? I only have one grain in my basket. I want to eat one grain a day for a year! I handed in this stone grain, but it's still not enough. The country is a bottomless pit. Can I fill it up?”
Mei Yang said," Men, men, kidnap this hooligan and bring him to the countryside. Who told him to resist the country?"”
Mei Ji said," Come on. If you come, I'll stab you to death. Anyway, you can't live anymore. After I stab you to death, you scourge, Maple Ridge people will be fine."”
"Alright, forget it, forget it. We'll talk about Meiji later."”
Sheng Group and the others came to Marquis Kun's house and said,""Your family is still short of 500 catties of grain. When will you be full?”
Marquis Kun said," I'm just a hairdresser. I don't know how to farm, and I can't do it well. My harvest is also low. I can't fill it up. That's all." I have to leave some food at home. Otherwise, my wife and children will starve to death.”
Mei Yang said,"I just saw your family feed the ducks with grain."”
Marquis Kun said,"That's not grain. It's grain from a windmill."”
Mei Yang said," This person is dishonest. Tie him up and send him to the township government.”
Two militiamen went to kidnap Marquis Kun. Marquis Kun smiled and said,""Alright, alright. I'll eat three or two meters to save some food for my family.”
Team Sheng watched from the side. He was not in a good position to talk and did not know if he should punish Marquis Kun.
After two to three days of inspection, the Sheng Team realized that only half of the farmers in the Southern Mountain Village had completed their task. These families were mostly honest farmers. When you arrived at their homes, you would see a bitter face, all frowning, and not a single person smiling. The farmers who did not complete their tasks also took some threatening measures, but they were not very effective. If you wanted to lock them up, they would extend their hands to you and say that they were willing to go to jail. There was no alms bowl to eat. If you didn't lock him up, he would say with a cheeky smile,"No, no, we're going to starve to death ourselves.”
One day, Li Ren went to Gaoshan Temple to chat in the rain. He said,""How is your family doing? There are only two people in your family, but there are four people in the field. Feiyin was dead, but Tian was still alive. You don't even know how to farm, so how did you plant the fields? How did you fill the grains?”
"What else can I do? Jin Yu is a capable girl. I rely on her inside and out." He's my son after all. He can't just leave me be.”
Li Ren said," How can I continue like this? I've never experienced such a day. It's too difficult."”
Yu Zhong said," It's still okay here. In other places, when the farmers haven't completed their tasks, the officials will go and seal the doors. They won't let the farmers enter the house. They even searched and took away the food when they saw it. If anyone complained, someone would come and tie them up and beat them up. An even more powerful move was to seal the pestle and seal the mill. Once these utensils were sealed, everyone could only eat wild vegetables.”
"Little brother, you can't say these things outside."”
In the rain, he said,"Isn't this just us two brothers talking? I'll pretend I'm mute when we're somewhere else."
Li Ren said,"This is very good. You must know that disaster comes from the mouth and illness comes from the mouth." When I slept in bed at night, I always thought, what good does this monopoly of purchase and marketing do to the party? Not only does it not win the hearts of the people, but it also greatly loses the hearts of the people. There are so many wise people in the party, they might be able to see the drawbacks of this political strategy.”
Yu Zhong said," That's right. Any political strategy that affects the entire country must first benefit the country and the people. If it only benefits the country and not the people, then this political strategy cannot be implemented. Otherwise, it will incite a rebellion among the people. If you use the country to forcefully push this political strategy, even if it doesn't trigger a rebellion, it will still brew. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This truth should be understood by the party members.”
"Tell me, little brother, what are the pros and cons of this matter?"”
Yu Zhong said," If you want to talk about the pros and cons, you have to look at what kind of standpoint you are standing on. If you are standing on the side of the party, there are still many advantages. The party wanted to control the heavens, the earth, and the earth. He controlled the food, so he controlled the people's mouths. In this world, people depended on their mouths to survive. If they controlled their mouths, they controlled the lives of the people. You had to follow him.”
"If you look at the problem from the perspective of the common people, then there are many drawbacks. If you control people's mouths, you're choking them. To be specific, if the party wanted to develop the industry, they would take advantage of the situation. This was a practice of pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Do farmers still have the enthusiasm to farm? If he could not make the decision for the grain he planted, and he could not set the price for the grain he sold, would he still conscientiously plant his own fields? Now, there was a new term called the worker-peasant alliance. Food could no longer be freely traded, so where did the worker-peasant alliance come from? Food could not be freely traded, and food could not be freely traded either. Food could not be bought and sold freely, and people could not move freely. If the population could not move freely, the population could not migrate freely or settle down freely. Could farmers still work in the cities? Could he still live in the city? Would this society become a pool of stagnant water without any vitality?”
"Yes, yes, that's right!" If you read a book, you will summarize it. I didn't read a book, so I can't summarize it. I can still understand the reason, but the reason you said can only be said here.”
"I understand. I won't say it outside."”
Li Ren said," The things in this world are not something that people can predict. Just think about our family, think about some people in our family, and you'll understand something." Look at my old master. He has extraordinary intelligence, extraordinary knowledge, and a strong memory. However, he doesn't care about family property or housework all his life. He lives so freely. Look at my mother. Although she is a woman, she is a heroine. She led us brothers to farm, collect food, do business, accumulate money, and build houses. When the old man passed away, our family's life also reached its peak, and then it went downhill.”
"Look at us brothers. Which one of us isn't kind-hearted and honest? Which one of us isn't hardworking, simple, and obedient? Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother have long gone to Heavenly State. They haven't experienced the current society. You and Second Brother have actually become enemies and bad people. His eldest brother had avoided a calamity, but his son, Huimin, had become an enemy. He was also a bad person. I'm the only good citizen left in such a big family. I don't know when there's a hat waiting for me to wear.”
As he spoke, Li Ren burst into tears. He didn't really cry, but he was moved today.
In the rain, he said,"Third brother, don't say anymore. I understand what you're saying. This is our fate." We're lucky. The social environment is like this. We can't hide!”
