"Here, another one..././"

"What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Big thing! I'll lend money and force the mistress to pay back my daughter. When I got the money, I said I'd snatched away the land of the mistress's family. If I wanted to complain, I sent someone to block the road and pushed the sued down the mountain!"

"Hiss...really fake?"

"Can it be fake? You didn't see it. As soon as the victim appeared in court, he was so scared that he was trembling as if he was sifted. The judge directly sentenced him to a death sentence!"

"Bastard! The Vice President did the right thing. Such a person should have been killed long ago!"

"Yes, I also support the Vice President! He is the one who speaks for us ordinary people."

The early summer of 1918 was definitely far-reaching. When the murderer who killed Cheng Cheng was arrested and confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes were several angry landlords, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces suddenly became violently turbulent. Thousands of landlords and gentry and officials who colluded with them were implicated, including not only the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but also the National Socialist officials who defected to the past few years. But this time Yang Qiu had made up his mind, so all the black sheep in the entire Jiangsu-Anhui officialdom were caught in one go! The Ministry of Justice even used special trains to transport suspects to Nanjing, and the temporary special court set up at the foot of the Purple Gold Mountain held a trial day and night, attracting tens of thousands of people to watch and listen every day.

When evidence was placed in front of each other, the gentry who had been arrogant in the village began to tremble, and the officials who colluded with them were even more disgusted. As the trial deepened and the reporters helped, the dark side of the local area was completely exposed to the world. Many people living in cities discovered that remote and conservative areas had reached such a horrific level. They not only regarded the central government's orders, but also colluded to cultivate farms in groups, openly reduced rents and interest, secretly collected money, embezzled and bribed bribes and exploited them, and privately used usury loans to seek huge profits. Some of them were found to have colluded with the Japanese to secretly sell them. The ban was also explicitly prohibited.

The guy with resources is really a traitor who is heartbroken! One by one, not only shakes the whole country, but also becomes the hottest topic after dinner. It also shakes the entire officialdom of the Republic of China! Those who have done bad things are restless and anxious every day. No one expected that Yang Qiu's move would be so ruthless and so direct. Some of the evidences they have forgotten. They can even find out! Even those who have never done such things secretly warn themselves, and check whether their family members have done anything hidden in their own way during this period, for fear that they will find their own province after burning Jiangsu and Anhui, so they do prevention work first.

And at this moment! Congressman, Republican leader, and one of the leaders of the Reform Movement that everyone knows in the world, Liang Qichao took the lead in submitting a high-profile proposal to impeach Vice President Yang Qiu. In the grief, he actually attracted many members of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and also launched a gentry signature campaign. He abused power, violated the constitution, voluntarily mobilized the army, and launched an impeachment operation. This impeachment proposal was absolutely explosive. Since Yang Qiu started his career, no one dared to challenge this young man directly.

Authoritative, some people wait and see, some people laugh, and of course more people directly quarreled with the impeachment party. As the speeches on both sides became more and more intense, many things began to be directly slandered. This trend also spread among the people. Especially in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, it was even more sensational. Many gentry and landlords in many places were afraid of losing their fields, so they protested in groups. The state society and the farmers' association, which was developing rapidly like mushrooms after a rain, also stood firmly behind Yang Qiu and launched the Jiangsu and Anhui farming campaign.

Since the land rent parties were unable to reach a new ploughing and lease agreement, weeds began to appear in many fields that had completed spring plowing. On the one hand, the landlords and gentry gritted their teeth and would rather abandon them than save the fields, and on the other hand, they hoped to get fair and just treatment, but also hoped to return to the familiar fields as soon as possible. So at this time, no one could know how to end it.

Early in the morning, Tiger Carris waited at the door with his camera. As a reporter from Times, with the help of Hangel, he finally got an interview and followed Yang Qiu to participate in today's Congress vote. As a political weekly reporter, he knew what it meant to the young man who emerged from the Far East today. Although everyone knew that the impeachment vote was absolutely not passed, if the opposition got a larger vote in favor, it would definitely be a big blow to his political career and prestige.

So how will he resolve this crisis today? Should he gain trust with absolute votes and continue to implement his reforms? Or is it another situation? The door was pushed open, and the solemn guards guarded the young man out of the door. Tiger Carris raised his camera and pointed it at him and found that there was no tension on his face, and he also kissed the two wives easily... Tiger was a little envious. While this country was gradually gaining recognition from the West, it seemed that it had forgotten to change the feudal polygamy marriage system.

"His Excellency Carris, aren't you going to go together?"

After Tiger woke up from his envious reverie, Yang Qiu was already in the car and waved to him. When he followed into the car, looking at Yang Qiu, who seemed to have no idea that today was a day that determined his fate, he finally couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency Vice President, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about? Failure... No! I won't fail! This is not confidence, it's them who gave me confidence!" Yang Qiu pointed out the window. Tiger then realized that the road leading to the Capitol from here has quietly stood quietly from when. Among them are the members of the Kuomintang, the radical Youth League young people, the farmers who came from north Jiangsu led by Hao Chongwen, and the supporters of Yang Qiu from all over the country! The sincere and eager faces, the two eyes that became bright after being ruled to be regained freedom! Is it 50,000 or 100,000? Or 500,000? No one knows how many people are pouring into Nanjing today. Tiger can see Yang Qiu supporters wearing different clothes, wearing badges, waving the national flag and then flooding the entire city. If this scene happened in the United States,

He would not be surprised to be born anywhere in Europe, but this is China! In a country that was ignorant, feudal, and even republic, such a huge parade of supporters appeared in a country that was ignorant a few years ago! Is this God's joke? He suddenly remembered the photos of China he saw when he was a child. All the Chinese in the photos had their eyes and expressions were numb. At that time, his impression of China was "puppet country". But today he realized that the Chinese were not numb. They also had great enthusiasm for politics and had the same curiosity for the world as Americans, but the rulers used to regard them as "puppets"! And all these changes were all because of the man who manipulated the extraordinary and great constitutional lawsuit around him, because of the declaration that had spread all over the world.

"The whole country in China is free!"

This sentence will overturn the big rock that weighs on the hearts of 40 million people! Hundreds of years after the Qing government entered the pass, they finally once again wanted to be recognized by the state! At this moment, Tiger even remembered Abraham Lincoln, Washington, and the carnival and earth-shaking shouts when the slaves were liberated in the Civil War.

With this feeling, the car arrived at the Congress Building, a brand new building donated by Hanyang and Chongqing, which was just put into use at the end of last year. It is now one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in Nanjing. But it did not give Tiger any grand feeling because he suddenly thought of something. Is Yang Qiu going to accept a vote of impeachment by dissidents in the Congress Building donated by his own company today? If he fails, would he be so angry that he demolished the building?

After the two got out of the car and walked into the building, the noisy and noisy venue became quiet because of his appearance. The impeachment faction led by Liang Qichao bit him tightly, revealing a heart-pounding cold light. But just after the sound of the wooden hammer at the meeting sounded, before they could react, Yang Qiu suddenly stood up: "Please allow me to say a few words before the vote on impeachment." After saluting Li Yuanhong, Tang Shaoyi and the Speaker and receiving approval, Yang Qiu made a gesture to Kuang Xukun. The latter quickly brought people to move in the boxes of documents that had been prepared and distributed to each member of the parliament.

"What's this?"

"Chengcheng Act?"

"No, look at this, it should be the Land Reform Act."

Everyone opened the thick draft and whispered. They didn't understand why Yang Qiu suddenly submitted a new bill at this time, so their eyes gradually focused on him. Yang Qiu picked up a draft of the Land Reform Law and slowly walked to the center of the podium. As the only reporter present, Tiger pulled Kuang Xukun, who was temporarily acting as a translator, and walked to the front, half-squatting to adjust the camera lens.

The young man in the camera has lost his relaxation just now, his face full of solemnity of worrying about the country and the people. He rolled up his sleeves slightly and held the draft in his hand to scan the audience: "This is what I brought, but it was drafted by an ordinary teacher who fell in despicable assassination! He originally called this bill "China Land Reform Draft Proposal". In order to commemorate his immortality, I temporarily changed this draft to his name. He is a young teacher who is only 26 years old! He walked into Chengdu from Ya'an Private School in Sichuan.

Normal School, then went from Normal School to Harvard University in the United States to study business administration and literature! After returning to China, he did not choose to go to politics or do business, but went to Xuzhou to teach and educate people! Over the past year, he not only completed his work well, but also spent half of his salary to buy school supplies to support poor students. Originally, he could not be involved in this dispute, but he was afraid that his students would not be able to continue studying because of their land and survival. So he wrote me such a suggestion.

I don't need to say who he is. Today, let us all put aside our political identity and forget our respective political parties to see what a young teacher thinks about the future of this country. He is not extreme nor hates anyone who owns the land, so in the first article, he stated that he recognized the ownership of the land owners of the land! But he also saw the consequences of land concentration, and after seeing the difficulties that most citizens could not even guarantee food and drink, he put forward eight suggestions.

First, all old lease contracts are abolished, and the standard land contract is issued by the government of the Republic of China, and the unequal treatment between owners and farmers is resolved in an equal manner similar to workers' labor contracts. It is clear that the lease period shall not be less than 30 years, the rent shall not be higher than 20% of the land income, and the rent shall not be increased in any way during the lease period...etc. etc., to ensure and protect the rights and interests of land contracted farmers from infringement, and at the same time, land value-added tax is imposed on land lessors.

Second, establish a farmers' mutual aid association to help low-income farmers' families achieve mutual aid and mutual love in technology, resources and finance, and break the current demand that farmers have to rely too much on various private loans to purchase seeds and develop land. We request the central government and central banks to tilt their policies towards farmers' associations, and introduce excellent seeds from abroad and form a national agricultural laboratory to achieve the national agricultural advancement to support industrial and commercial and population growth.

Third, land retention tax will be added to those who own too much land according to the land scale, with a maximum of 1,000 mu of paddy fields per household and 2,000 mu of dry land per household. For those who exceed the land, five percent of the value of the expropriated land will be levied as tax per mu every year.........

Fourth, protect barren mountains and wastelands in the form of government trust. Promote tree planting to protect water and soil. The country must maintain all major rivers and lakes in the country, and prohibit all acts of man-made destruction of water and soil! It is prohibited to raise goats north of the Yangtze River that will eat grass roots and harm vegetation!

Fifth, for land that has a master but is deserted for more than one year (inclusive), the state has the right to automatically reclaim the land ownership and use it.

Sixth, establish a national public rental system, that is, the central government regains land by purchasing from the market, and then contracts it to those who have no land. Public rental fields are implemented to pay grain instead of taxation, paddy fields are cultivated for 15 consecutive years, and dry fields are 10 years old, and culprits will automatically enjoy ownership of the land. This will not only solve the survival of landless people, but also increase the amount of grain reserves in the treasury, and further improve the current gap between the state farm and private land, forming a three-headed parallel model of state-owned farms, private land and public rental land in the future.

Seventh, use the Immigration Land Law to accelerate the immigration to the northeast and northwest with sparse land. It is recommended to immigrate 30 to 40 million people from four provinces in Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Hebei to the northeast, and immigrate 20 million people from Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Sichuan to Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiang. It is also recommended to promote the cultivation of cold-resistant cotton, soybeans, barley, wheat and beets in the northwest. At the same time, it is recommended that the central government re-divides Xinjiang into three provinces, in addition to being easy to manage, it can also use as much land as possible. It also conducts large-scale military farming and guarding the border, and develops the west to ensure the safety of the national border......

Eighth, establish the Central Land Administration Bureau. Carry out large-scale investigations on mountains, rivers, land, rivers, etc. across the country, conduct unified and effective management, organize the scale of wasteland use, develop emerging technologies to utilize mountain and wasteland, and prohibit any local government from abusing land without authorization..."

In the slow voice, some people's faces began to change color. The first article of this draft seems to protect the rights and interests of landlords, but the latter articles are all restricting and hoarding land without exception. It would be fine if the rent is less, but the land retention tax directly points to the large landlords with more land! What's more, the terms that the state automatically recovers after a year of wasteland, which is simply to support the farmers' association who have stopped farming! Tens of millions of acres of landlords alone cannot complete farming by landlords themselves. Once the time limit is reached, it is ruled to deliberately abandon them, and even grass will not be able to be brought back!

Liang Qichao and other impeachment factions turned darker. However, the good impeachment vote was destroyed by a sudden land reform law. They were so angry that they were about to stand up. At this moment, two sharp gazes shot from the podium made them tremble all over. A sneer flashed across the corner of Yang Qiu's mouth, and the voice of putting down the draft suddenly became louder: "I know! Today some people have started the impeachment vote for distrust of me! I don't care. This is your right, and Congress has the right to supervise us government staff! What I want to say is that each of you... should think about this draft before voting, think about the dead Cheng Cheng, think about the young people and compatriots outside's vision of the country and the trust of the government!

As members of Congress, what you need to consider is not a certain class, but the future of this country! It is the future of the nation! You are the most elite group of people in this country. When you reach your level, what is the use of money, wealth and land?! If you are short of money, then I suggest you buy the stocks of my company under Yang Qiu. I promise you to double in three years. Why do you keep your eyes on the land? Why do you compete for land with those farmers who are in poverty and cannot eat? Times are different. It is the time when you have to get out of the land idea that has bound the nation for thousands of years! Looking at the world, every world power has solved the problem of land distribution. Why do we still have to keep our own hands?!"

Yang Qiu waved his hand vigorously, and his voice spread to every corner with Tiger Carlos' constant pressing of the shutter: "I am very proud. Someone impeached me means democracy has taken another step forward. I will not stop any impeachment proposal, but I hope that while impeachment, I will also vote on this draft! Why am I so anxious? Because when we talk, our people are hungry and they don't want to wait for a moment!"

"Please vote... I will accept any result and be ready to resign from all positions!" Yang Qiu finally dropped a heavy sentence, and then quickly returned to his seat. At that moment, the audience quietly fell into the audience. Even Liang Qichao, who launched the impeachment, did not expect that Yang Qiu would suddenly tie the land reform and the impeachment against him! In this way, opposing him became opposing land reform. To be too big, it was directly opposing the central government's determination to reform, opposing hundreds of thousands of citizens who were looking forward to the results outside, and opposing 400 million citizens who had gained freedom!

Originally, the impeachment he initiated could not have been successful with the state society controlling 80% of the seats. It was just to take the opportunity to create momentum. Now Yang Qiu not only gave up the heavy words of being prepared to resign, but also forcibly tied to the new bill! Who else dared to stand up now? At that moment, Liang Qichao was trembling all over... Is this considered political kidnapping?!

Shameless!!!
