Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 114

The qualitative criteria were limited to recognized major crimes such as homicide and human trafficking. Hearing the inspectors describe Zhang Debiao's crimes one by one, the indifference of the people finally changed.

Chen Deli, the leader of Zhangjia Village Juntian Team, knew that the changes in the people were brought about by this justice, and Chen Deli was very happy to preside over such a patrol.

After the public prosecutor finished talking about Zhang Debiao's crimes, he asked Zhang Debiao if he pleaded guilty.Of course Zhang Debiao categorically denied his crime.

When Zhang Debiao finished speaking, a few people booed.Although a few people did not come forward to identify them, they were clearly insiders.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Debiao swore that Sun Er, who was nicknamed Sun Qitian, was a habitual bandit who deserved a thousand knives. As a gentleman with status, he had never met Sun Er himself, let alone colluded with Sun Er to kill and rob.

After Zhang Debiao finished speaking, the inspector signaled, and the Taoist took a few hooded sacks in a corner of the venue and the tightly bound people to the inspection platform.One of them had his headgear removed, and Zhang Debiao couldn't help being surprised.

This person turned out to be Sun Er.

At this time, Sun Er was a little bold, and he laughed, "Master Zhang, you say that I have to pay a thousand dollars now, but you didn't say that when you asked me to do things in the past two years. If you did this earlier Let’s say, if we break up, we can save a few lives.”

The villagers have all heard of Sun Qitian and Sun Er's bandit number, but this is the first time they have seen Sun Er himself.Hearing Sun Er's words, and seeing Zhang Debiao's extremely embarrassed appearance at the moment, there was a burst of low laughter from the crowd.

The inspection continued until the afternoon. Although Zhang Debiao denied all kinds of things, there were many witnesses, not only Sun Er, but also the victimized chamber of commerce in the city. Scars on the body.

Seeing this, the villagers basically knew that this piece of Debiao was supposed to be a death sentence.But the villagers knew Zhang Debiao's background very well. It was true that Zhang Yuqing was a big shot in Lin'an, but someone from Zhang's family was an official in Changchun. He really dared to kill him?
At this time, the cultural teacher in charge of the trial stood up and said loudly to the villagers: "Zhang Debiao committed crimes such as murder, buying murder, and human trafficking. The Zhang family..."

There are many crimes committed by the Zhang family, and it took a long time to finish reading.The villagers were all waiting to hear what to do, and they were a little impatient.

The cultural teacher was also thirsty, picked up the bowl and drank some water, and then continued to read the trial results, "Zhang Debiao, death penalty. Beheaded after autumn. After investigation, all members of the Zhang family were more or less involved in Zhang Debiao's various crimes. Among these crimes, they were all taken away and sent to labor camps for reform. The Zhang family’s property was confiscated.”

The villagers couldn't figure out what those nouns meant, so there was a lot of discussion that night.

Early the next morning, the villagers who got up early found that the Taoists had set off.

Zhang Debiao's family members were tied up and taken out of Zhang's compound. The men begged and the women cried.

This movement disturbed the whole village, the door of the house was opened, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and the villagers watched from both sides of the road that the entire Zhang family was wiped out and taken away.

Some were amazed, some rejoiced, and some were disturbed.

The villagers watched as Zhang Debiao's family left Zhangjiatun under the escort of Taoists and disappeared at the end of the road.

In the morning, the villagers were summoned again.

Chen Deli continued to preach the land government decree, and just after he finished speaking, some villagers asked: "Governor, I am a tenant, can I also divide the land?"

Tang Gui, the leader of the Majiatun Juntian Group, and other cultural teachers from Tianjin, are children of poor families.

On the way to the home of Master Ma, the richest man in the village, Tang Gui was thinking about how to issue an ultimatum.According to the regulations, Mr. Ma is definitely not a local tyrant and evil gentry, and he cannot use force.But even if there was a decree from the Longevity Sect to purchase the excess land, Tang Gui knew that the other party would not give up.

Hundreds of acres of land, who is willing to give up?If Tang Gui's family had hundreds of acres of contiguous land in Tianjin, they would be out-and-out big landlords.

In the living room of Ma's house, Tang Gui and Master Ma sat down face to face.Regardless of Master Ma's ugly face, Tang Gui went straight to the point, "Master Ma, you must know the matter. According to the regulations, with so many people in your family, you can still leave hundreds of acres of arable land. Calculate the tax you pay less every year." , plus the compensation from the Longevity Sect, you didn’t suffer much. Besides, the grain on your land this year will still belong to you. You really don’t suffer.”

Hearing Tang Gui's arrogant words, Master Ma couldn't help but get angry.Why do you take away the family business that you have worked so hard to save?You even settled the score for me, saying that I don't suffer, bah!

Even though he was dissatisfied for thousands of years, seeing the work clothes on the other party, Master Ma still lacked confidence, "Brother Tang, what did I do wrong? My family has a lot of land, but it's all from my grandfather's generation." Beads of sweat fell to the ground and broke into eight petals and accumulated little by little!"

As he spoke, Master Ma wiped his eye sockets and squeezed out a tear.

Tang Gui scowled.

At the Juntian preparation work meeting, Zhang Yuqing clearly explained the current situation to the Taoists. The land acquired by Juntian is actually worthless, and what is really valuable is the direct control of the grassroots villages.

Kinta is not a power struggle to bring the upper class to its knees, but an institutional struggle, a political struggle.The result of the struggle is that the landlords and gentry should stand aside, and the Longevity Sect will directly control the manpower and taxation in the countryside, and take away the power at the grassroots level from the gentry and landlords.This is the starting point for changing Lin'an, and also for changing China in the future. There must be no ambiguity. All forces that hinder the equalization of land must be overcome.

Now that Mr. Ma has made his attitude clear, Tang Gui can only issue an ultimatum, "It's useless to say that. You are not the only one who dropped eight petals. Mr. Ma. If you don't go to the fields yourself, those who go to the fields are the tenants. If you cry , and it’s not your turn, Master Ma.”

Master Ma saw that his bitterness scene had no effect on the 20-year-old boy, and he was furious, and said, "I don't agree! If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want!"

Seeing that Master Ma, who was still snotting and crying just now, suddenly became hardened, Tang Gui chuckled, "No need to kill or cut. We will come over tomorrow morning to apply for a new land deed for Master Ma. The purchase money will also be brought along. Farewell gone."

After finishing speaking, Tang Gui got up and left. When he walked outside the door, he suddenly stopped and said back, "Master Ma, your land lease has expired. In the future, every household and everyone will have a new land use certificate. If you don’t let others grow the land you go out, the village committee will take care of you.”

As soon as Tang Gui left, Mr. Ma punched the table angrily.This boy from the government is too arrogant, if you give him money, he puts it back on the neck of the giver.Sending off a woman, he was kicked out directly.Now it is directly forced to distribute their own land to others, what should I do?
When Tang Gui returned to the station and saw Zhang Yuqing, he had some insights in his heart, "Big man, you really need to have a theoretical support in your heart to do a job, otherwise you really can't explain the truth clearly, and it's easy to waver."

Hearing Tang Gui's sentiment, Zhang Yuqing smiled.

The so-called mountains are mountains, mountains are not mountains, mountains are mountains.You have to go through this stage in order to grow.

Tang Gui went on to say: "My lord, I used to think that those landlords and gentry were ignorant guys, but now I understand that they really have their own set of rules. If you want to smash all this, you must rely on a more advanced system .”

Zhang Yuqing didn't want to talk about the new system, because there were still some things to be done, "Master Ma, what do you think he will do next?"

Tang Gui smiled, "He doesn't dare to make big troubles, but small troubles will continue. We must establish a village committee and militia organization as soon as possible, and let the villagers solve problems in the village."

Just as he was talking, a Taoist came in to report, "Master, there seems to be a group of people from the Ma family coming outside."

Zhang Yuqing smiled at Tang Gui, "Go and meet them."

Tang Gui understood and walked out of the station.

This trip to the countryside, a team of 40 people.An average field group of 8 people.The Juntian group is in charge of going to the village, consisting of a cultural teacher, a propagandist, two staff members, and four military personnel.

The military personnel stood at the door, with the long knife in front of their chest, and although the short knife was still stuck in their belt, their hands were already on the handle of the knife, as if they might strike at any time.

The members of the Ma family came from afar. The Ma family thought that they had a large number of people, and that the Juntian group should be at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, they saw that the Juntian group had already done something. Ready for battle.

The Ma family were all stunned. Although some of them had a guy in their hands, they really didn't dare to attack rashly.Everyone looked at Master Ma.

Master Ma was also impulsive, and already felt that he couldn't really fight halfway.After all, the opponent is the government, as long as the fight starts, he is already a sinner.Besides, what about the small group of people who defeated the government, can they still defeat the government army?
Seeing the guys from the Juntian team, Master Ma sighed heavily, and with a wave of his hand, the Ma family walked back in a mighty manner.

Early the next morning, Tang Gui went to Master Ma's house.Master Ma didn't show up, but the housekeeper laughed with him and handed over the title deed to Tang Gui.

With the title deed, Tang Gui immediately called a meeting of the villagers.The land deed was shown to the villagers, and the villagers all showed admiration.

A big stone fell to the ground in Tang Gui's heart.As far as Tang Gui saw, Zhang Yuqing never had the idea of ​​bullying.The toughness against the landlords this time is not aimed at the landlords, but to let the people understand that it is no longer the landlords who can truly be the masters of the family in Lin'an.

The people can understand this, which means that the first stage of the work has been completed.

Tang Gui took out the arrangements for organizing village-level grassroots organizations and began to explain them to the villagers.There are currently two positions in the village, the village head and the militia captain.

The village head is responsible for publicizing and implementing the rural government orders of the Changshengjiao, and the militia captain is responsible for the formation of the militia organization in the village, as well as the scheduling of personnel when a large number of laborers work collectively.

Therefore, the village has to elect candidates, and the Longevity Sect selects six people.

"Officer Tang..."

"Don't call me that. I'm the team leader in charge of the village's field work. Call me Captain Tang."

Seeing Tang Gui being so polite, the villagers were a little curious. Someone asked, "Captain Tang, what kind of official do you serve in the government?"

"I will be the clerk for Daozi the head teacher."

"What does a clerk do?"

"It means that every time Master Daozi holds a meeting, I will record the content of the meeting."

Although the villagers still don't understand Tang Gui's work, they know that Tang Gui is Zhang Yuqing's confidant who teaches Taoism. Apart from respecting Tang Gui, they also think Tang Gui is more reliable, "Captain Tang, why do you need six people? You Didn’t you say that only the village head and militia captain are needed?”

Tang Gui didn't hide anything, and told the arrangements for the six people, "Two people will stay in the village to do the work of the village head and militia captain. The other four people will go to the Taoist school in Lin'an City to study. One month, among the four people who went to Lin'an, they will study for half a month, and then send two people back to replace the two people who stayed in the village. When the harvest starts in early September, and the farm work is heavy and busy, all six people will return to the village to work together. "

At the entrance of Majiagou Village, Zhang Yuqing shook hands with Tang Gui and said goodbye, "Comrade Tang Gui, work hard. Pay attention to your health."

"Please pay attention to your body after the Master Taoist goes back."

Tang Gui was very aware of Zhang Yuqing's workload. When he was in Lin'an, Zhang Yuqing worked late every day, and besides compiling textbooks, he also had to give lectures.It seems that there is not much action, but the workload is actually very heavy.

For example, this time Juntian.Everyone originally had their own ideas and wanted to bring them up for discussion at the preparatory meeting.However, as soon as the meeting started, Zhang Yuqing came up with his own set of arrangements.There are thousands of words in the text alone, and the specific work involved is even more various.

Now that the plan has been implemented, Tang Gui can already understand how much thought it took.The purpose of Zhang Yuqing's return to Lin'an was not to rest, but to preside over the upcoming cadre training in Lin'an.There are about 400 villages in Lin'an, and each village has 4 people, which is 1600 people. To train such a large number of people, the workload is beyond Tang Gui's imagination.

Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "Accumulate more experience. After you go back, you will be in charge of the Juntian cadre training class."

"I will finish it as soon as possible." Tang Gui replied loudly.

Zhang Yuqing was about to get on the horse, stepped on the stirrup, and then retracted his foot, "By the way, the village cadres selected this time, among those who passed the review, should be as young as possible, especially those with lower seniority."

Tang Gui nodded, but his expression was a little puzzled.

"Clanism is maintained by seniority. If you want to break clanism, you have to let young people take on the work. If the people elected are the oldest and highest-ranked people in the village. They really put themselves Watch it as a grandpa."

Tang Gui nodded repeatedly after listening, "I remember."

"If there is no suitable one, let's chat more with the people and ask them who among the young people is reliable. As long as you open your heart to the people and seek truth from facts, the people can exert great power."

"Yes!" Tang Gui replied, watching Zhang Yuqing leave.
