Chapter 436
No matter how worried Zhang Huangyan was, the land reform movement was launched with great vigor. Dozens of work teams were active in Qilu. Every time they arrived at a village, people who had been found in advance would first come to the stage to complain. Then there would be a criticism meeting, and people would wear their clothes and criticize them.
Changed from a literary fight to a martial fight.
The local officials are selectively blind to the murders happening in front of them. No one cares about the life or death of the landlords. One or two deaths are considered qualified. Three or five deaths are considered outstanding. Only when the entire family dies is the purpose of treating the disease and saving lives by avoiding past mistakes and avoiding future ones.
.
In just one month, more than 3,000 landlords and their families were killed because of the criticism.
Everywhere they go, the villagers will elect a production team leader. The working group supervises the measurement of the land and gives it one by one to the tenants who have been longing for land for generations.
Compared with the dire straits of the landowners, the common people are happy and happy.
Land! This is something that our ancestors have dreamed of for generations, and now it is actually in our own hands. Moreover, the court does not require a big son. It only needs to pay 30% of the harvest every year, and it has promised that the rent will not change for ten years. Although the rent
The money is not small, but compared with the exploitation of the landlords, it is considered kind.
The enthusiasm of the masses was extremely high. In just two months, the conflagration of the land reform movement spread like a prairie fire across the entire Qilu land. The landlords were in panic all day long, and they all kept their tails between their legs. Many people were thinking about their lives, and the working group
Immediately hand over the family's account books as soon as they arrive. They even bribe the working group officials. As long as they don't hold a denouncement meeting, they can just take the family's property and pretend that I can't see it.
Some shameless people actually resorted to a beauty trap. The beautiful daughter of the family appeared in heavy makeup just to prevent the whole family from going to the underworld to meet the King of Hell.
No matter how conscious and hard the landowners are, bloodshed still accompanies the entire movement. The land passed down from generation to generation disappears into their own hands, and no one is willing to accept this result.
Therefore, struggle is inevitable.
After two months of worry, Zhang Huangyan, who thought he could successfully complete the land reform task, received a message that the entire working group was wiped out. Some people rose up to resist the land reform.
Now that the talker has been killed, the killers will take action. Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have been recuperating in Zibo for a long time. After learning about Zhang Diansheng's rebellion, the two waves of people immediately killed him.
They are all used to killing people, and as long as they have the slightest connection with the rebellion, they will stab them in the head without saying a word. This is what they did to those bandits. Of course, after the incident, apart from a portion of their property being handed over to the treasury, there was nothing left.
Everything went into the pockets of these two gentlemen.
It’s useless to focus on economic efficiency these days! Who can kill people all over the world when they are free?
Carloads of heads were displayed in various villages. The soldiers clearly told the Shandong landlords that this was the consequences of resisting land reform. Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were very experienced in doing these things. This was how they dealt with bandits before!
After the land was divided, propaganda teams composed of storyteller troupes came on stage. Newly rehearsed plays and jokes were performed in the fields. One of the plays called "The White-Haired Girl" was about
The landlord raped Xi'er from a tenant's family. Finally, he kicked the landlord Xi'er out of the house, causing Xi'er's hair to turn white due to lack of salt.
This play, with Li Xiao writing the script himself, became a hit immediately after it was filmed. The guy who played the role of the landlord Huang Shiren was quite dangerous. Several times when he was performing in the army, someone would shoot someone underneath him while he was performing.
Angry, Cao Wenzhao had to order that the troops were not allowed to hold weapons while watching "The White-Haired Girl".
Not to mention the common people, they were all in tears watching Xi'er. How could such a good girl be ruined by Huang Shiren! As the propaganda team continued to perform in one village after another, all the landowners in Shandong were
A new name - Huang Shiren!
As a result, the liquidation of landlords and wealthy families became even more fierce. It was even reported that a landlord named Zhou Papi went to the chicken coop in the middle of the night and pretended to crow, so that the long-term workers could go to work in the fields earlier.
The creativity of the broad masses of the people is endless, especially the ability of some people with lofty ideals to write stories, which is even more shocking. A young man named Xiong Cilu from the propaganda team adapted it into
A nice story. The name is "The Rooster Crows in the Midnight"!
Because the story is very relevant to the times and in line with mainstream values. The short and concise "The Rooster Crows at Midnight" quickly overtook the long-form "White-Haired Girl" and became the flagship work promoted by the publicity team. It has established a brand among the broad masses of people and created a
Word of mouth.
"Strike local tyrants and divide their fields!" was the most exciting slogan in the second year of Longwu. Whether it was on the gable wall or the courtyard wall. Even on the rocks on the cliff, there were these big characters written in red paint.
As expected by Li Xiao, the vast number of farmers were filled with the greatest enthusiasm in their lives for dividing their land. They supported the Longwu imperial court and were tightly united around the leadership group with the emperor as the core. In the past, the land was
The land belongs to the landlord, and now it belongs to me. If anyone wants to take it back, they will step over my body.
For poor farmers, especially the extremely poor farmers, land means everything. Because before that, they were too poor. Zhang Huangyan has really seen a family where the whole family only has one pair of pants. They have to take turns to go out, even if they are
Farm work also has to be done at night.
Of course, extreme individual examples also exist.
There is a landowner named Zhou in Zhou Village, who has a prodigal son. As long as it is a disaster year, the tenants beg the young master to collect less rent. The young master Zhou will usually agree, and if some families are really in difficulty, they will lend a lot of food.
.He even stupidly told the tenants with snot bubbles in their noses that if they had food in the future, they would pay it back, but if they didn’t, they wouldn’t have to pay it back.
Mr. Zhou was so angry that his head was smoldering. He even resorted to family methods several times to severely punish this loser who turned his elbows outward and bit him inside and out. If his wife hadn't given birth to such a child because of his dissatisfaction, he would have torn it into pieces and fed it to the eagle.
.
But Master Zhou remained the same, and later he would often steal money from the family to take advantage of the poor. Whenever a family member was sick or in trouble, and the money couldn't be used for a while, Master Zhou would take the initiative to come to the door. After putting down a bunch of copper coins, he still said the same thing.
As the old saying goes: "If you have it, pay it back; if you don't have it, you don't have to pay it back. It's not easy!"
"It's not easy" is Master Zhou's catchphrase. A young man of 17 or 18 years old was laughed at by the rich man in the neighboring village and became a prodigal, a fool, a fool, and his brain is wet... Anyway, any word to describe a brain that is not working well is good.
Then a well-educated scholar gave this young master Zhou a resounding name, Zhou Dasha! (You must have noticed, it is not Zhou Dasheng!)
The name of Brother Dasha quickly spread throughout Zhoucun, and then Zibo. People came to watch in an endless stream, and eventually it became fashionable. If you say you have never seen Zhou Dasha, it is like people from Ming Dynasty who don’t know there is.
Just like the emperor. In Zibo, this is common sense.
Burdened by the name Dasha, Mr. Zhou was an eighteen-year-old rich second-generation man with excellent family conditions, knowledge, courtesy, and kindness, but he couldn't find a wife.
Not to mention that he couldn't find a wife, there wasn't even a matchmaker who came to his door. Among the landlord class, this bastard was an outlier. He was a prodigal who only liked to support lazy and poor people.
Zhou Dasha, who was laughed at by everyone, has been laughed at by no one since the work team came.
The work team led soldiers into the village to capture the landlord, and Zhou Dasha took his father and his wives and ran around the village. Anyone who went to his house would be pulled into the house immediately. Then the men of this family would
Chapter completed!
