Time has entered April, the temperature is rising, flowers are blooming everywhere, and the spring plowing season is about to begin.
Outside Jiangdong Town, the 101st Propaganda Task Force, which has worked hard for more than two months, has adopted various methods to get rid of the vast majority of young people and children in Jiangdong Town, and basically let them stand here in Xujiazhuang.
side.
And young people represent the pillars.
Children represent the future.
Now that the pillars and the future have been won over by the work team, it is only a matter of time to take over the entire Jiangdong Town. The remaining clan leaders are no longer anything to be afraid of.
It's just that they are elders, parents and uncles. Due to the filial piety tradition of one or two thousand years, they cannot do disobedient things.
And most of the family's property and fields are in the hands of these elders, and young people cannot make the decision.
Therefore, if you don't want to find a way to deal with the elders of the Xiang clan in Jiangdong Town, it will be difficult to join Xujiazhuang and establish a collective estate. You must pass them.
And it’s already April!
Compared with the slow progress of the 101st Propaganda Task Force, many other places are engaged in the vigorous construction of collective estates, and countless poor people are actively joining in with their families. There is almost no opposition to the construction of most collective estates.
, all went very smoothly.
But here at their 101 work team, apart from building a large brick kiln and burning a large amount of bricks, they didn't even see the prototype of the manor's bastion.
Among hundreds of work teams, their work progress is obviously lagging behind.
This won't work!
We must put in some drastic measures to speed up the progress.
After some discussion, everyone planned to write a big article on "anxiety", selling anxiety to the young people in Jiangdong Town, so that they would have a strong impulse to join the collective manor immediately because time is not waiting for us.
How can you sell anxiety?
Nature is about comparison, and only in the huge gaps discovered during the comparison process can strong feelings of anxiety arise.
So with the help of the publicity tool of open-air movies, the members of the work team played many documentaries related to production and life:
"With the joint promotion of advanced agricultural machinery, improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, the rice we sown in spring was harvested in only about 95 days, achieving an average yield of 1,250 kilograms per mu. The rice is of excellent quality and the grains are
The grains are soft and glutinous, and the taste is excellent.”
"Farmers cultivate rice using traditional methods. Even if they adopt intensive farming methods, it will take at least 105 to 115 days after cultivating, transplanting, weeding, catching insects, watering, and fertilizing. It takes a lot of hard work.
Only in this extra ten days can we expect the rice to mature. Maybe there is a heavy rain or a wind disaster, which may cause a reduction in production or even no harvest. Even if the weather is smooth from beginning to end, after the rice is harvested, the rice obtained will
It’s only about 500 kilograms at most, which is the result of very, very hard work. Most rice fields have an average yield of only three to four hundred kilograms per mu.”
"For such a small amount of output, the government must take away at least 80 jins, and the landlords and gentry must take away 150 jins. What belongs to the farmers themselves can only be 100 or 200 jins at most. With such a small amount of grain, it is necessary to feed a family.
, you have to wear clothes, eat salt, and bear all the expenses of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and the limit of a farmer's labor force is to cultivate 15 to 20 acres of rice fields. He can harvest up to 4,000 kilograms of rice, which is equivalent to more than 30 taels of silver.
, and with this income, can the family be fed well, clothed warmly, have meat occasionally, and be free in winter?"
"It's difficult. I'm afraid it's very difficult. Only a few families can reach such a state. If an illness suddenly occurs, or a natural disaster strikes, when these highly uncertain risks come, a seemingly normal life will
But the family will soon be unable to survive. If natural disasters become more frequent, bankruptcy will become inevitable."
"Hold together, under such circumstances of heavy government taxes and frequent natural disasters, if you want to live a stable life with enough food and clothing, transportation, medical treatment when you are sick, and security even when you are old, the only option is
Hold together, hold together like the Xu family collective estate."
"As long as we unite together and take advantage of Xujiazhuang's advanced and developed productivity, we can increase the grain yield per mu by three, five, or ten times, but the farmers' workload can be greatly reduced, giving them time to recuperate. In addition, Xujiazhuang's rice milling
Machines, water pumps and other machinery can not only improve work efficiency hundreds of thousands of times, but also save countless manpower. In addition, we will vigorously develop breeding to increase the per capita meat consumption, and develop ocean fishing to obtain a large amount of fish. At present, the average annual meat consumption per capita in Xujiazhuang
The weight has reached 66 kilograms, and the future goal is to reach 100 kilograms per capita. There is still a lot of room for improvement..."
After the content of the documentary has been played.
Wang Kangping, who held a microphone in his hand, walked onto the stage and first had someone play a video of the latest developments in other collective estates. Some estates had begun the construction of bastions, and some were using tillers to plow and cultivate on a large scale.
Wasteland has been opened up, and some have already planted pasture, alfalfa, giant mushroom grass and other feed crops. It can be said that the scene is in full swing and everything is blooming, which is very shocking.
Then Wang Kangping said: "Spring plowing will start soon, and other manors have begun to get busy! But we are still sleeping, still wasting time, still holding on to those outdated things, and still unable to take the important step
step!"
"Can we continue to wait? After missing this year's spring plowing, losing this year's harvest, and finally enduring hardships this year, we will continue to argue and quarrel, continue to chatter, miss next year's spring plowing, lose next year's harvest, and next year there will be another
Continue to suffer, and then the year after that, and the year after that?”
"Can you really endure this never-ending suffering? Or should we make changes, not the year after next, not next year, not this year, but make decisions now?
and change! Don’t miss the current spring plowing, and you will harvest your harvest this year!”
"Don't hesitate any more. Since you have to make changes, it's better to change now than to change in the future! The life of the Xu family manor is there. Those who want to visit can see it at any time. The only thing in front of you now is
The question is whether you want to change."
"So I ask you, do you want to change?"
Wang Kangping's microphone was facing everyone in the audience.
"Think!" jagged voices sounded.
"Do you want to or not?" Wang Kangping asked again.
"Think!" the voice became louder.
"If you speak louder, scream at me, shout out your unwillingness, shout out your determination to live a good life, tell me, do you want it?!" Wang Kangping asked in a roar.
"think!!!"
The roar from the audience was about to pierce the sky.
Yuan Ying was very surprised to see that Xiang Sirer next to him, even though she came from a good family background, actually expressed her thoughts loudly and longed for change and embraced a more promising collective estate.
It worked.
The task force has been hugely successful in selling anxiety and stoking young people's desire for change.
These young people from various villages and towns, including Jiangdong Town, returned to their respective villages with severe fever and headaches, and immediately began to do the work of their elders. They hoped that the elders would give their full support and spend all their energy.
The house deeds and land deeds are sold to the work team at a fair price, and then added to the collective estate.
The young people were very anxious and anxious, and they all urged:
"If you don't join quickly, you will miss this year's spring plowing!"
"Other collective estates have taken action, but we are the only ones who have not joined!"
"Grain production has increased threefold, the average person eats 100 pounds of meat, and we live comfortably and wear warm clothes. Why don't we join in such a good life?"
"Don't hesitate any more. Hurry up and hand over the property deed to me. If you behave proactively, you may be able to arrange a very good position!"
Faced with these impatient urges from young people.
The clan leaders and elders, not to mention nodding in agreement, immediately suppressed them.
More than a hundred young people were severely beaten that day, more than three hundred were punished by kneeling and grounding, and fifty others were imprisoned for disobedience because they talked back and quarreled with their elders. If they were put
If they are sent to the government and another person is accused of being unfilial, they can all be beheaded. However, the clan elders seem to be angry and actually plan to send a few disobedient young people to the county government and behead them all to serve as a warning to all the young people in the clan.
human purpose.
but……
The harsh actions of these clan elders quickly aroused a strong backlash.
The series of counterattacks carried out by young people clearly told the elders: Times have changed.
Assist defense team members.
The most active and radical ones here are the 100 defense team members in the security team. These young people are all from the Xiang clan in Jiangdong Town. They all shaved their hair short, put on modern clothes with tight sleeves and tight trousers, and matched their work style.
The members of the team have the most contact with them, and they have received the most thorough ideological influence (it can also be said to be brainwashed). In addition, food, clothing, and wages are all provided by Xujiazhuang. In terms of ideological stance, they naturally stand firmly.
On the Xujiazhuang side.
They even had huge indignation and dissatisfaction with the stubborn and conservative clan elders. The clan elders were so opposed to joining the collective estate just for their own interests and wanted to preserve their rights. The clan elders had become
They are the biggest stumbling blocks to everyone’s pursuit of a happy life, and they must be removed!
For the happiness of everyone, let alone abandon traditional filial piety, you can do whatever it takes when necessary!
So on the night of the first day, these 100 defense team members attacked the clan prison and released all the young people detained in the clan prison.
The next night, the defense team members did an even better job. They first sneaked into the ancestral temple, removed all the ancestral tablets and genealogy, moved them to a certain place, and then set the ancestral temple on fire.
In the red fire, the ancestral temple was reduced to ashes, and many elders vomited blood in anger and almost died on the spot.
Surrounding the ancestral temple that turned into a pile of ashes, all the defense team members appeared and forced everyone, men, women, old and young, to vote on the spot. If the ancestral temple is gone, it can be rebuilt. They will also hand over the tablets and genealogy. This is a top priority.
, is to conduct a referendum to decide whether to join the collective estate based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority!
"Evil obstacles, you damn evil obstacles!"
"Report to the official, please come and report to the official, capture all these evil deeds, and cut them all into pieces!"
"Treason son, how come the Xiang family has so many treacherous sons!"
"Crutch, where's my crutch? I'm going to kill all of you bastards with it!"
The clan elders were all furious and wanted to rip off the skin and cramps of these younger clan members.
However, the defense team members took out two ballot boxes without haste, began to organize public opinion votes, and gave a speech, saying that they did this for the betterment of the family. If they join the collective estate, everyone will
When people's lives get better, they don't need the thanks of their tribesmen. If everyone's lives don't get better, they will bear all the sins, and they will even be willing to die to apologize!
Then the voting began.
Grains of soybeans were thrown into the box supporting joining the collective estate. Some voters even told the clan elders their reasons:
"Old man and uncle, I want to live a good life."
“I haven’t eaten as much meat in my life as I did working in a brick kiln.”
"I think everything in Xujiazhuang is real, and I want to join and give it a try."
"After the security team was driven out of the town, my child was taken away by traffickers within a few days. There was nothing you could do. I cried and begged the security team, and they brought the child back in just three days. I believe in these benefactors.
!" said a woman holding a child.
"Uncle and uncle, don't stop us. We have had enough hardships. Now we see hope."
