Section One Hundred and Thirtieth Collective Villages
Chapter 130: Gathering villages and merging villages
"is it him?"
"It's him." The civilian husband said softly.
"Carry this body to the village and throw it on the threshing floor." He ordered, "Let everyone see the fate of the traitor!"
The Fubo Army drove into the village as the villagers watched in panic, and then started to demolish the liaison officer's house. In less than fifteen minutes, the entire house was razed to the ground. All the dismantled items were transported to
The outside of the village was burned to the ground, leaving only a very thick bamboo as the main beam.
The soldiers drove an ox with an iron plow attached to the back and plowed the land that had become a white field on the homestead. Then, a bag of sea salt was sprinkled into the furrow and buried.
Finally, bamboos were erected on the homestead and the body of the liaison officer who betrayed the work team was hung up.
"Don't take it off until it turns into bones!" Lin Shenhe ordered.
A new work team was dispatched from Danzhou. The captain was temporarily represented by Lin Shenhe. Then, Liu Yixiao and Yu Zhiqian also followed the work team to Wangpu Village. For a time, the center of power in Danzhou was transferred to this desolate small village.
Liu Yixiao expressed concern: "Is it appropriate for you to come here too?"
"It's not like there are no senators in Danzhou City anymore." Yu Zhiqian said, "I also want to inspect the battlefield. Besides, if such a big thing happened, the leader didn't come to the front line in person. Is it okay to let the Senate know about it?"
The entire village then underwent a large-scale cleanup. The newly arrived work team no longer discussed the development of mountainous areas and the cultivation of cash crops, and even stopped engaging in the original work of recruiting husbands for the army.
Both Lin Shenhe and Liu Yixiao suspected that there were other people in the village who were related to the bandits. In addition, Liu Yixiao believed that the villagers could not know anything about which group of bandits came from.
These issues must be thoroughly clarified. Construction cannot be carried out peacefully unless the root causes of danger are dug out.
Under the supervision of soldiers, the men in the village built a bamboo fence outside the village, dug trenches, and erected a lookout tower in the village. Menial work outside the village must be approved by the resident personnel of the work team. The village began to register the permanent population and build a
The household registration system was introduced.
Several team members wearing blue collar badges began to talk to the villagers "back to back" one by one. Everyone from eighty to eight years old talked heart-to-heart and passed the test.
This kind of investigation turned over the details of everyone in the village. Finally, someone revealed that Chen Lianjian in the village was a gangster.
This man was a gangster for many years, and later he was injured and lame in one leg before he returned to farming. He had a wife and several daughters at home. There was no forced labor force, and life was tight.
Chen Lianjian said that he had indeed been a bandit, but he was not the same group as the bandits.
"They are bully-eyed people! They have nothing to do with Xiao Xiao, and they definitely did not come from Xiao Xiao's seduction!" Chen Lianjian repeatedly cried out, "Hu Lanyan and his gang came from Lingao!"
Chen Lianjian didn't know much about Hu Lanyan's gang. He only knew that they came from Lingao last year and had a lot of people. Once they arrived in Danzhou, they became the largest gang in the area.
Lin Shenhe slapped the table: "How much do you know about the local bandit situation? Tell me everything honestly!"
Chen Lianjian was uneducated and was just a junior among the gangs. He didn’t know much. However, he still revealed a lot of local bandits’ gang numbers, stock numbers, activities and slang. Lin Shenhe’s consciousness
This person is quite useful to them. If it is handed over to professional reviewers, more "materials" can be dug out.
"Come here, lock him up alone." Lin Shenhe said with concern, "Keep an eye on him!"
"Yes!" The guard was about to leave. Lin Shenhe stopped the guard again, "His wife and daughter were also arrested and held in solitary confinement!"
"The little one is already a useless person! He can no longer eat this bowl of rice. Don't you dare to have any more delusions? Please look into it!" Chen Lianjian begged. He felt that the Australians would probably kill him and his whole family as a warning to others."
Chicken", enjoy the same treatment as the liaison officer.
"Do you want to kill a few people to show your authority?" Lin Shenhe asked Liu Yixiao, "You can kill Chen Lianjian, who was a bandit."
Liu Yixiao shook his head: "It's not appropriate. Chen Lianjian was not involved in the attack on the work team. Most of the people in the village were neither principals nor accomplices. At most, they were not brave enough to do what was right. Killing people like this is unjust and unjust."
"It's a pity that we didn't kill a few people." Yu Zhiqian was disappointed, "You can't suppress the locals like this!"
"People have been in poverty for a long time, and they are inevitably ideologically numb and ignorant. They only know how to protect themselves." Fang Jinghan, who is responsible for presiding over the *** review and public sentiment and social survey, said, "This is a typical thinking of obedient people. Whoever can be the master is fine - as long as
If we can give them a way to survive, they are so poor that they have nothing to lose."
"I still think a group of people should be killed." Yu Zhiqian felt very unwilling to let the villagers go like this. "If we don't kill people, it won't be enough to be powerful in Danzhou! It will seriously affect the public security of Danzhou!"
Liu Yixiao firmly opposed: "Killing innocent people indiscriminately is meaningless! These villagers are very hateful, but there is no reason to kill them. Killing people indiscriminately will only expose our inner weakness."
Although Liu Yixiao firmly opposed the massacre of villages or killing people, he still had no idea how to deal with this matter.
The report on the Zhaopu Village incident he submitted to Lingao caused an uproar in the Senate. The news from Liu Muzhou was very bad. The senators were extremely dissatisfied with his work. It was very likely that he would be replaced in Danzhou.
The position of the task force leader.
Once this position was withdrawn, his hope of serving as the first Danxian County Magistrate was completely shattered. Not only that, this political stain was difficult to wash away. He was frustrated and uneasy. He could only try his best to deal with the follow-up.
Give yourself as many points as possible.
If he is too lenient with the local villagers in handling this matter, it will inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction in the Senate - according to Liu Muzhou and his communication, some elders even asked for the massacre of the village.
However, being too cruel will also be resented by some elders. How to balance leniency with severity made him very embarrassed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Jinghan came up with a "collective punishment" plan.
The plan is to confiscate all the property of the entire Wangpu Village villagers as punishment for the elimination of the work team.
"Shit, what property do they have?"
"The land here, although small, is still property."
"Okay, what are we going to do with this land?" Danzhou also doesn't lack land, it just lacks people.
"The focus is not on the land - depriving them of their land also deprives them of the resources to survive here." Fang Jinghan said, "All the labor force in the village has become a population for our direct control. If you want, call them
It’s not a bad idea to be a ‘state slave’.”
"Similar immigrants are indentured servants..."
"That's it. Move the entire village to a place with better conditions, merge the villages, and turn the villagers into our direct population. Make it the first commune in Danzhou!"
"Thirty households are like a commune? There are too few people."
"We have consolidated the villages and gradually moved and merged these small villages. This will not only facilitate population management and control but also facilitate development."
After the population migrates away, the local area can be completely abandoned - there is not much development value in the first place. When the mountain resources need to be developed in the future, they can completely migrate here.
As for the relocated villagers, Fang Jinghan suggested that they should be used immediately. First, all the men of 18 to 25 years old in the village should be recruited as soldiers.
"The army is a melting pot." Fang Jinghan said, "In the melting pot of the army, you will be fed some rice soup by Wei Aiwen, and after walking for three years to develop discipline, you will be a qualified 'newcomer' when you come back. Adults can only rely on this
It’s just mandatory.”
All children under the age of 18 are sent to Lingao for compulsory enrollment. The younger ones go to national schools, and the older ones attend apprenticeship training classes. The rest are used as laborers. All manpower is not wasted.
"Just follow this idea." Liu Yixiao nodded and agreed to his plan, "Right now, there is a shortage of people to build roads. After these people move to the new place, they will build roads for three months."
"It's better to build the commune first." Yu Zhiqian quickly added, "I think the foundation of the city's Zhonghe Institute is good, there are many empty houses, and it can fully accommodate immigrants. I will regard Zhonghe Institute as the future Danzhou City.
The site of a commune.”
In the second week, more work teams and a second infantry company were transferred from Danzhou. The village was tightly surrounded by soldiers. Then, the work team entered the village in batches and ordered each household to pack their luggage and prepare to move.
.
The villagers are very poor, and their only property that can be called only a few rags, farm tools, and the most basic daily necessities. The best families have cattle.
"You don't need to bring anything except soft clothes and livestock!" the indigenous team members kept shouting with loudspeakers, "You will have everything when you get to Xinde Village. We will also provide you with food and drink on the way!"
According to the standards of the Crossing Group, apart from themselves and their livestock, the villagers have nothing that the elders value as property. The farm tools and other things used locally are so inferior that they might as well be used as scrap metal. Even the last
The precious iron pot veterans all felt that it was a waste of iron. Not to mention the utensils and hygienic issues - after comprehensive consideration, everyone agreed that it would be more worry-free to implement a comprehensive supply system.
The things left in the village were inspected and reused - ironware, metal objects, cotton and linen textiles, etc. were sterilized and recycled. Anything that had no use value was destroyed on the spot. All houses were also demolished. Immigration was completely eliminated.
The thought of returning.
The only thing left in the village was the badly decomposed body hanging on a bamboo pole. Flies were buzzing around on it.
When the people were carrying their luggage and setting out on the road, demolition work had already begun in the village. The rumbling sound of houses collapsing and the rising smoke made the immigrants look sad and hesitant.
