Chapter 105: Disintegration of Work
In order to further prevent these three lines from colluding together, in addition to their different public positions, the Government Affairs Council also stated in the "Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Grassroots Political Power" that the county advisory bureau members in each village generally choose local gentry Or the landlord, if there is no such person, the village craftsmen or small businessmen will serve as them, because their interests are different from those of ordinary farmers.
The original intention of this system is to curb as much as possible all kinds of "chaos" that may arise from village-level political power. Veterans with certain social experience all know that sudden social incidents that require "maintaining stability" are often caused by small things at the grassroots level. A little injustice, a so-called "official" who doesn't even have a formal identity, uses the little power in his hands to do evil, eat more and occupy more... little by little, strong dissatisfaction of the grassroots people accumulates, and eventually turns into riots .
In addition to building political power at the village level, the Government Affairs Council also has an ambitious plan to comprehensively adjust the layout of the village itself. Specifically, it means dividing households into villages.
The idea of dividing households is to reduce the population of each household, while merging villages is to gather smaller villages into large villages to facilitate administrative management and control.
If a village is too small, the village economy will inevitably tend to become naturalized, and manpower cannot be effectively controlled and managed. This is something the Planning Institute does not want to see. Despite their different political leanings, the elders of the Executive Committee all showed a great interest in maximum control and use of manpower.
The immigrants they moved from the mainland have been resettled according to this idea. They have been placed in standard villages built according to a unified template. Every few villages are governed by a commune built according to the standard template. Everyone is effectively controlled, including household registration, archives, and mass organizations. Hundreds of cadres who are either off-duty or not off-duty control the entire system from top to bottom, with the People's Committee for Civil Affairs at the top.
With the help of this strict control system and telegraph and telephone system, it took less than half an hour for an order to start moving from Bairen City to the final gear of the village-level government. In this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, this system showed high efficiency in mobilizing manpower and material resources, which also made the Senate and the Government Affairs Council strengthen their original determination to "fully implement the new system."
Next it will be the turn of the local aborigines in Lingao. At the meeting of the Senate, the Civil Affairs People's Committee's proposal on "comprehensive promotion of the new social system" was passed. Subsequently, Ma Qianzhu signed Central Government Administration Order No. 39o, authorizing the Civil Affairs People's Committee to implement the new system in the indigenous villages of Lingao. construction.
Tang Tang followed Xiong Buyou to the county office compound, where a meeting was about to be held to discuss specific matters regarding the transfer of political power to the countryside. The future work team captains are gathering in small groups in various corners of the yard chatting. The first ten task forces have been established. Each task force consists of fifteen to twenty people, all equipped with weapons. The captains are composed of veterans who are interested in grassroots work in civil affairs. According to the instructions of Du Wen, director of the Social Investigation Department, each work team must have at least two veterans. In order to "supervise each other". The team should also be equipped with full-time armed members and health workers.
All work teams working outside the call range of the police must carry at least one high-power walkie-talkie that can call nearby camps to ensure that they can be rescued in the event of riots and other dangers, and to facilitate timely communication with the headquarters. .
In order to facilitate communication and finally squeeze out part of the residual value of the old ruling institution of the county government, Liu Muzhou and Du Wen discussed and set up the headquarters of the power to the countryside in Lingao County.
If you are located in the county town, you can use the name of the county government at any time. If you encounter some stubborn elements and need to do something that undermines the "great integrity", you can use the name of the county government to handle it. Anyway, the seal is now in the hands of the county government. In Wang Zhaomin’s hands. It is almost in the hands of the elders. The office clerks in the three shifts and six wards, who were not killed in the struggle or arrested and re-educated through labor, were all working under the leadership of the Communist Party of China at any time - they were all eagerly prepared to serve the Cross-Travel Group.
In addition, Du Wen and Liu Muzhou are also preparing to use various files in the county Yajia Pavilion nearby. An archiving team from the Grand Library is stationed in a yard behind the county office, cleaning, transcribing and duplicating archival documents every day.
Mo Shui, who was responsible for cleaning up this batch of files, happily led the original scribes and interns to clean up the file materials. He found many interesting and useful things from the files, and of course he also caught a lot of people.
"He who controls the archives controls everyone's tail." He proudly gave Liu Muzhou a booklet that he had carefully collected, which listed many illegal things of the wealthy gentry in the county, as well as the filial piety and even scandals of his ancestors' parents. They were all found in the archives of the attic room. For example, someone's ancestors once occupied other people's property, and someone's elders were sued for molesting women. In particular, some "competition for property" lawsuits have exposed the secrets of many wealthy families. These materials had been moldy and rotting in the pavilion warehouse, but suddenly all the sediment of time was exposed to the sun.
"If any big gentry owner doesn't cooperate, you use the materials to make him stink," Mo Shui said. "The materials haven't been cleared out yet, but I have figured out the 'finding the stalls' in the cabinet library and mastered this." , you can find whatever you want.”
Liu Muzhou asked him to summon some of the scribes retained in each room to serve as advisors.
"It's a meeting, it's a meeting." Someone shouted on the steps, and the elders who were chatting about everything came into the room one after another.
There was just a small conference room filled with chairs and benches. A gas lamp illuminated the room. Everyone just find a seat and sit down.
The meeting was chaired by Du Wen. On the issue of how to establish grassroots political power, she had had a one-night conversation with Ma Qianxu a few days ago. In Du Wen's words: "I straightened my thinking and understood the spirit. "
"Comrades," Du Wen cleared her throat, "Now let's convey the spirit of the Ethnic Affairs Committee and the Government Affairs Council on the establishment of organizational discussions at the grassroots level. It also includes my personal opinions and experiences for your reference."
Du Wen emphasized at the meeting: The situation in Lingao aboriginal villages is very complicated, and many of them are entangled in disputes between clan forces. Some important elements who control the local clan have expressed their intention to surrender. At this time, if you do not pay attention to the working methods and rely on force to act recklessly, it will not only cause a strong backlash from them, but also cause other large households to secretly join forces to obstruct it.
How to maximize the use of existing resources, reduce the resistance and opposition of large households, and carry out the work as quickly as possible is a major problem faced by the work team.
Du Wen's instructions were recorded in Tang Tang's notebook:
"...The implementation of the new system at the grassroots level is like boiling frogs over a slow fire. It cannot be rushed...find problems in practice and solve them...The phenomenon of large and powerful households in rural areas must be eliminated. As a grassroots level, they have no future...We must Particularly crack down on the phenomenon of "tyrannizing" at the grassroots level just because the family has a strong family. This is more reactionary than trying to use economic means to influence grassroots political power... We must carry out ruthless struggle against those who resist our new system. Struggle. It is necessary to let the grassroots people come forward. It cannot be done by the work team, but the direction of the struggle must be pointed out in a way of enlightenment and guidance..."
As for how to implement it specifically, there are still many details and policy coordination. The most important thing is to use fiscal and tax means. As summer is approaching, summer tax collection is about to begin, and the new tax reform will soon kick off in Lingao. The new tax reform directly affects the implementation and execution of many policies.
The task force meeting lasted all night and did not end until the next day. Tang Tang is the deputy captain of the county work team. With Xiong Buyou in front, her job is not heavy. But after a long night of tossing, she just wanted to go to sleep first.
"You have to deal with Li Xiaopeng's family matters as soon as possible." Xiong Buyou told her, "His family is the biggest rich man in the county, and his attitude will determine the direction of many people."
"But didn't their family agree to send a son to study? They also agreed to serve as a member of the County Advisory Bureau." In Tang Tang's opinion, the Li family's affairs were understood.
"The Li family has indeed made a promise, but it is not enough." Xiong Buyou said, "The one who was sent to Fangcaodi to study was just a young son of their family. According to the information given to us by the General Administration of Political Security, this son was a concubine and had no family members. Status, belongs to the category of people who can be expendable.”
"Can you sacrifice your own family members at will?"
Tang Tang has read many palace fighting novels, but he has never encountered such a thing in reality.
Xiong Buyou nodded: "Of course. The bigger the family, the more indifferent they are to their family members, not to mention that such a bastard is nothing."
"That's too much." Tang Tang clenched his fists and shouted, thinking of the timid boy who came to the hall to meet his group, "It's too pitiful."
"Whether it's pity or not is none of our business. Your mission is to maintain contact with the Li family, and at the same time try to persuade them to hand over the 'dung pieces' in their hands and encourage them to take another industrial and commercial path."
The cesspool is actually the ownership of public toilets and cesspits in the county. Human excrement was the largest source of fertilizer for farmers in ancient society. Once the holder holds a contract for the excrement segment, he or she can earn huge profits. Although it is an industry with a poor reputation, it can be beneficial. But for Chuanchuan Group, the comprehensive transformation of Lingao County is about to begin. The first step in the transformation is to dig sewers and establish a modern water supply and drainage system. The "dung section" that is monopolized by private individuals must be nationalized as soon as possible.
Tang Tang nodded: "I think the key is whether there is enough exchange of interests. As long as there is, they will definitely be willing."
"Haha, you are indeed a student of international trade. You make it clear." Xiong Buyou praised her first, "But it is not easy to find a suitable exchange of interests - we don't have the ability to waste money and money, we can only guide. Invest in industry and commerce There is also a process of return on investment, which is far less labor-intensive than industries such as manure section and field rent."
Tang Tang said: "Actually, I have an idea: It saves a lot of effort for the rich to collect manure and land rent, but the income is always relatively small. I think we can force them to spend a lot of money. When the expenditure becomes large, even if we don't guide it, They will also look to us for guidance.”
Xiong Buyou praised her sincerely: "Well said. What are you going to do?"
"Of course it attracts them to spend more..."
"What if they refuse?" Xiong Buyou asked.
"Then stimulate them." Tang Tang said, "I read the background information and said that the Li family used to be a local rich, right?"
"That's right."
"That's enough. Since you were once rich, you will always have a bit of vanity, right? Let's support a few nouveau riche to compete with them and let them consume their wealth-"
"Well, go on."
"Dong Weiwei once said that the late Ming Dynasty was an era of rampant materialism, and ethics were not very strict. It is said that Jiangnan even held a beauty contest. Let's also hold a beauty contest to let the Li family toss and toss." Tang Tang seemed to think of something, "Let's do it We have a catwalk show to promote new styles of clothes, accessories and cosmetics. Is there no reason to only promote 'new lifestyle' in Guangzhou?"
"It's not easy to operate." Xiong Buyou said, "If I remember the beauty pageant correctly, it was a beauty pageant for prostitutes. This can only be done in a wealthy place like Jiangnan. Here in Qiongzhou, I heard that only Qiongshan has a prostitute."
"Hey, who said that beauty pageants can only have prostitutes?" Tang Tang said a little anxiously, "We can do prostitutes or conduct talent selections. Lingao now has a population of over 100,000. At that time, our university only had 10,000 students, and the class beauty was , department beauty, college beauty, school beauty...there are many different selections."
"The social conditions and economic foundation are different and cannot be the same." Xiong Buyou said, "Hainan Island is still quite backward in the economic landscape of the entire Ming Dynasty. Economic backwardness will inevitably lead to a relatively closed social atmosphere. So this is impossible to achieve. . It won’t be possible for at least ten years.”
"Don't be so arbitrary." Tang Tang watched his "cunning plan" being ruthlessly shot down, and in the blink of an eye he came up with another one, "Then we can build a Lingao version of Ziminglou. There's no reason to just While promoting a 'new lifestyle' in Guangzhou, we don't promote it in our own hometown."
"This can be considered." Xiong Buyou thought that this was still feasible. After the maid's death, his proposal to create a Lingao version of "Ziming Tower" also received support from many elders.
This Ziming Building can not only serve the elders, but also serve as a window to promote the "Australian lifestyle". After all, society's needs are multifaceted. The needs of rich people also need to be met, and they must be met to a large extent before money can be transferred from their hands instead of settling.
Xiong Buyou said: "This plan is not bad. You can make a proposal. Maybe it will be passed soon. I very much support your proposal."
Tang Tang said distressedly: "I can't write this kind of official document. I have to write about the meaning, the feasibility analysis, and the implementation details. It's more annoying than writing a paper...it's so troublesome."
The two talked for a while. Xiong Buyou reminded her: Li Xiaopeng’s butt is not clean and he belongs to the indigenous people with problems. You must remain vigilant at all times when making contact.
"He and Huang Xunkun had a heated fight - Huang Xunkun was on the blacklist."
The General Administration of Political Security has never relaxed its surveillance of Huangjiazhai. Zhao Manxiong has always been aware of the activities of Huang Shoutong and his son. But he had to admit that the Huang family's activities were very strategic and there was no big handle. So much so that there is never a good excuse to clean them up completely.
Xiong Buyou told her many of the conspiracy between the two: "Li Xiaopeng is generally a playboy and doesn't know much about right and wrong, but Huang Henkun is a bit too active. You should also pay more attention to Li Xiaopeng and Li Xiaopeng." contact between him."
"This Mr. Huang is so bad, why not deal with him? Potentially dangerous elements cannot be tolerated."
"It's not that easy. Killing people and arresting people can't solve all the problems." Xiong Buyou said, "The Huang family's reputation is very good among the Lingao natives, ranging from large gentry households to small civilian households. If we can win over them instead of directly annihilating them, , which is much more beneficial to us. This is just like the Li family - do we care about the few dung deeds in his family? It's just that now is the stage where we want to make more friends."
"Build a broad united front."
"Correct." Xiong Buyou nodded, "Anyway, they can't cause much trouble, so we just need to keep a closer eye. Moreover, these big households are also very quick to adapt to the wind. We defeated the official army in Chengmai. The attitude of the big households It’s completely different.”
"I know, I will keep an eye on them."
"Okay, I'll leave the Li family's affairs to you. Get the Li family settled as soon as possible."
Tang Tang accepted the task and was very happy. Now she became a unique figure. She went back to her dormitory to take a nap, and it was exactly noon when she woke up. She thought about it and decided to start with Mr. Li Si and his son.
Since the mother and son have low status and are not taken seriously in the Li family, outsiders can gain a certain amount of favor with just a little show of kindness. What's more, friendship comes from a powerful foreign force like the Australians.
In this way, she drove a nail into the Li family. She was able to get inside information about the Li family. When Young Master Li arrives at Fangcaodi and is infected by modern science and ideology, if he puts in more effort, this kid will be brought over.
Feudal families can easily be dismantled from within by rebels, who themselves must have strong social support and recognition. Although Tang Tang is only a college graduate, he is still familiar with many left-wing social transformation theories. While she was working on the Li family, she was determined to take long-term considerations to dismantle the feudal family from within.
"What's so great about Du Wen? She just brought power to the countryside. I want to dismantle the feudal family." Tang Tang said with confidence, staring at Ma Qianxu's signature on the notebook for a moment, "Just wait and see." a ! ~!
