Chapter 395: Xiayun Village Investigation! Call Moon
~.-< >-~ Chapter 395: Xiayun Village Investigation! Call for monthly tickets!
"Damn it, damn!" The angry Lu Shan almost crushed the wine glass in his hand. This was a very valuable set of porcelain in the old man Zhang's family.
"Sir, what did you say?" Old Man Zhang asked with red eyes.
"No, Mr. Zhang, you continue to say!" Lu Shan hurriedly concealed the past and said, "Old Man Zhang should be the subordinate of Tang Juwu, the "Self-Defense Force".
Tang Juwu's team expanded too quickly, which would inevitably lead to many idle people in society taking advantage of loopholes, and all the mud and sand were all over the country, so military discipline would inevitably be effectively supervised!
Especially since I just gained a firm foothold, many aspects need to be sorted out and rectified, and this is not something that can be achieved overnight.
After calming down, Lu Shan also understood a little. This was not the original intention of these people, but the people below were used to being lawless.
Fortunately, they still had some concerns, but they just snatched away the food and plowing ox, and did not hurt anyone!
But this is not the reason why these people escape punishment!
"It would be fine if they captured my son, but my daughter-in-law is a woman. Besides, the child is still young and needs to be fed. What should we do if we are the old couple?" Old Man Zhang thought of his grandson who was still in his infancy, and tears immediately came down.
"It's really a mess!" Lu Shan cursed.
In fact, it is not new to the army to strengthen the men, but there is also a certain degree. He has to pull other people's husbands and bring his wife with him. How could such a thing happen? There is also a hungry baby.
Didn’t this harm this family?
The Self-Defense Forces spontaneously organized to resist the Japanese invasion, and at the same time they also have the responsibility to serve the country and protect their hometown?
He actually sent troops to the countryside to force the military rations and forced them to take away the oxen of the people. The food was gone, and he could find a way. As long as he survived this period of time when the autumn grain was not met, he would have it when the autumn grain was harvested in the land.
The arable ox is the hope of the family. Without plowing ox, you cannot rent more fields. Without field, there is no food. The family's food and clothing have become a problem, which is equivalent to breaking the hope of the old man Zhang's family!
If this is from the Dongzong, he will be the first person to kill after returning to the army!
The problem lies in that this is Tang Juwu's army. Now that the troops have not been reorganized and merged, this matter is not easy to deal with, and this is probably not an isolated case!
This group of "Self-Defense Forces" are so arrogant and domineering, I'm afraid it's not the first time that this kind of thing has been done.
Dongzong - The basic policies on land reform and rent reduction and interest reduction issued by the Self-Defense Forces. I wonder if they have been implemented here?
According to Lu Shan's plan, after the land reform and rent reduction policies are announced, work will be sent to various villages and towns for work guidance and supervision to prevent the following personnel from using their power for personal gain, which will lead to a policy that benefited farmers becoming a bad policy!
"Uncle Zhang, I have heard of a new government policy along the way. I wonder if you have heard of it?" Lu Shan asked. This is also the core area of the new regime. We should not be unaware of the land reform and rent reduction policies, right?
"Sir, is it talking about rent reduction, right?" Old Man Zhang sighed, "If this is implemented, it will be great for us ordinary people, but it is very difficult..."
"It's very difficult, why?" Lu Shan said in surprise.
"There are three months left before the autumn harvest. Who knows what will happen in three months?" said Old Man Zhang, "Let's take the land I rented from Qian family. I have agreed to reduce the rent by 20% according to the rules of the new government. In this way, I can add 50 kilograms of grain per mu of land, and fifteen acres of land is 750 kilograms. With the five acres of land that I weigh, according to the current taxes, if the harvest this year is average, I can leave 800 kilograms of grain, which is two or three hundred kilograms more than before. However, the Self-Defense Forces collect military rations at one time. When they leave, everything returns to the past. In fact, we not only have no benefits, but we have lost 400 kilograms of grain in vain. This is only on the surface, and there are other aspects. If there are any troops to collect military rations, our rations will not be able to withstand it..." Old Man Zhang did some calculations for Lu Shan, clearly and clearly.
Lu Shan was stunned for a moment. The people were simple and kind, but they were not stupid or stupid. Instead, they were very wise to a certain extent and had a certain long-term vision.
They had a good idea. If the Self-Defense Forces left, they would return to the past and even be implicated. Didn’t the Japanese slaughter the people of 3,000 Pingdingshan on the charge of “brethren”?
Just because the Self-Defense Forces passed by Pingdingshan several times, they did not inform the Japanese army, so they massacred the entire Pingdingshan people!
Lu Shan realized that if this problem is not handled well, it is easy to make the people who originally supported him feel resentful.
Because once a large number of Japanese troops attack, necessary retreat and abandonment are certain, but some consequences must be given up and the people in the area to bear it.
It is definitely not possible to stick to defense, but how can we eliminate the concerns in the hearts of the people?
Stop the military rations!
Only in this way can the people truly feel that the new regime is truly standing up for the people and fighting the existence of Japanese invaders.
Thinking of this, Lu Shan couldn't help but feel glad for his decision to buy 100,000 dan of rice. With such a batch of grain, coupled with the previously seized and confiscated from some illegal merchants and landlords, it would be no big problem to support it for half a year.
Lu Shan did not directly meet the command center, but instead found a small village to stay in. In fact, he wanted to understand the people's sentiments.
After all, what he formulated is a closed-door business. He believes that it is a policy that brings benefits to the people, but in fact it will make differences when implemented, and it will also cause many problems and contradictions. If you investigate it on the spot, you will be able to understand it, rather than just relying on imagination to formulate policies!
The demise of a system often requires the progress of civilization to drive it. In the actual sense, the system has not perished. For example, tax policies are basically in line with each other, and it is the deterioration of the system or the human beings themselves!
If you do things strictly according to the system, then there will be no corrupt officials in this world, and the system will also restrict development.
Therefore, to break the predecessor system, there must be a soil suitable for it.
A step forward is a huge progress. One step forward is a breakthrough. Three steps forward is a bottomless cliff.
Lu Shan realized that he was walking too fast and carried out land reform and rent reduction and interest rate reduction without obtaining a relatively maintainable base.
There is nothing wrong with this policy itself, and it is wrong in the inappropriate implementation. Although it has the idea of winning the hearts of the people, if doing so will harm the people, he would rather not do it!
Of course, the publicity was not in place, and the people did not understand the real reason for this policy and why they did it!
In the final analysis, it was still a reason. He was worried that he could not defend the area he had built now, which was a realistic problem.
Once the existing area cannot be defended, it will inevitably retreat. At that time, the Japanese and puppet troops will become more aggressive in exploiting the people!
This is almost foreseeable. Lu Shan also thought that there would inevitably be sacrifices in the struggle, but this kind of sacrifice really makes people feel frustrated!
"Uncle Zhang, if the Self-Defense Forces were beaten away, will you hate them?" Lu Shan asked. He changed his mind several times before he asked!
"Hate, I can't say that. At least they are much better than those bandits and government officials who eat people and don't spit bones!" Old Man Zhang was stunned and replied immediately.
"So, if you come back one day, will you still support them?" Lu Shan was happy. He knew that the purpose of land reform, rent reduction and interest reduction was to win the hearts of the people, and of course it would also benefit the people. Those who are unkind for wealth and do not agree to rent reduction and interest reduction are suppressed, and the land is also allocated to farmers. To a certain extent, the people are benefiting actual benefits.
"If they could stay forever, it would be great. But they captured my son and daughter-in-law. If the old cow was there, I wouldn't be worried. Now, hey..." Old Man Zhang sighed.
After arresting the strong man, at least he would not be in danger of his life. He was just worried that no one would turn over the world at home. He was old and could not turn over.
Lu Shan felt that Old Man Zhang's hatred was mainly concentrated on the old cow and his daughter-in-law. One was that he lost the biggest labor force, and the other was that the baby in the cradle needed breastfeeding from his mother!
These two are painful and deeply hatred in each family!
Lu Shan made clear instructions at the Dongzong recruitment work meeting that the only son in the family should not be required unless he has obtained the permission and special skills at home.
Zhang Yuanxi, the son of Old Man Zhang, is the only son in the family, with old people above and young people below, and is not within the scope of recruitment.
The Eastern Zong basically did not recruit soldiers from the outside world, and he also had requests from the Self-Defense Army to continue to expand the army. Why was Zhang Yuanxi still a strong man?
Zhang Yuanxi was pulled out of a strong man, why did his wife go in together?
The Dongzong recruits female soldiers, but the amount is limited. Could it be that the Self-Defense Army also learns from the Dongzong recruits female soldiers?
These doubts can only be understood one by one after you return to the army!
Moreover, the Self-Defense Forces' attitude of collecting military rations is very bad. Who came up with this plan for each household to collect military rations according to labor force? And the standards are set so high. Will there be corruption and embezzlement in the middle?
"Old man, the noodles are ready..." Aunt Zhang walked in with a large bowl of noodles in a trembling manner.
"Auntie, thank you. We can't finish eating these many noodles. Why don't you eat some with Mr. Zhang?" Lu Shan said enthusiastically.
"No, I just had supper and wasn't hungry!" Aunt Zhang shook her hands repeatedly.
"She has eaten it, sir, you two can eat it!" said Old Man Zhang.
"Erxi, bring two more bowls and sit down and eat them together. Put these noodles until tomorrow morning, and they will be rotten!" Lu Shan said.
"No, it won't get bad if it's cool in the well water!" Aunt Zhang said hurriedly.
"That's it, it's good..." Lu Shan said to the side.
Lu Shan drank half a bowl of noodles respectively. The evening in the countryside was definitely big. Half a bowl of noodles was enough to match the two bowls in the city. Although the noodles were a bit thin, they were hand-rolled, very chewy and rough, but they were very fragrant in their mouths. Lu Shan didn't say that he didn't eat enough delicacies, but he ate a lot of good things.
This is the first time he has eaten this noodles, and it has a warm and simple taste that flows through his mind.
In this way, what reason should the people not fight for their lives for life, freedom and happiness?
