220 Land Reform Again
"My fellow villagers, my name is Jocelyn Warren, and I am your land reform worker. Two months ago, I came here to lead everyone to start land reform together. Later, the feudal power was strong and we had to withdraw. However, we kept all the information at that time, and we kept our list of everyone's rosters and lands. Therefore, this land reform, we can send everyone's land to everyone soon!!"
Jocelyn Warren stood in the Yanggu field in the Riverbank Village, holding a tin horn and shouting loudly. Behind him, Jon Warren led his company of nearly a hundred soldiers to form a neat review queue. In their hands, the newly produced thunder rifle reflected dark blue light in the sun.
In front of Joslin, serfs and farmers from He'an Village and several nearby villages gathered. They had been waiting for the land reform team for several days. Some villagers even started land reform early after receiving the news that Gastens was the great magician. The landlords in those villages had almost escaped due to war, and the remaining landlords did not have the courage to fight against a great magician. They ran away and followed, and they had no courage to stop the farmers from spontaneous land reform. When Joslin came here with the land reform team and the supporting guards, half of the seven or eight villages around had spontaneously completed land reform.
"Brother Jocelyn, we are all waiting. What do we need to do? Just say it!"
The serfs and farmers gathered in the audience had dishes and smiles on their faces. The dishes were displaced by the previous wars, and many people fled to the mountains, with a yellow face and a thin body. The smiles were because behind the Ailena Land Reform Team in front of them was a great magician, the only one in the world now. No one dared to resist a great magician, so their land reform will completely change their destiny.
"Yes, several villages have completed their own land reform, so let's hurry up too! Many crops in the fields have been ruined, and we still want to hurry up and replant them!"
I don’t know who shouted, and a burst of echoes in the crowd. The previous battles caused many farmlands to be taken care of, some were overgrown with weeds, and some were destroyed by the army and battles. The farmers now regard those lands as their own land, so they naturally felt so distressed that they rushed Joslin to start land reform as soon as possible.
"Okay, my fellow villagers said I should start as soon as possible, so I will start now! Brothers, bring up the information on land reform!"
Joslin actually arrived here from Eilena, and didn't even take a break and drink water. However, he also knew that the villagers had a strong desire to promote land reform, so he consciously devoted himself to the work. There were five people in the land reform working group with him, three of whom had land reform experience before. Everyone brought out the land reform materials preserved during the retreat and began to check one by one according to the list. Those who could find people were confirmed on site. Those who could not find people were left with doubts for the time being. Because of the basis for the previous land reform and land measurement, this land reform did not require re-measurement. Everyone was very active in getting rid of the identity of serfs and getting four acres of land. Joslin's re-confirmation of land reform was carried out very smoothly. And his work
The team also set up three desks on the Yanggu Field according to his arrangement. One was made by Jocelyn himself to confirm the results of the last land reform, and the second one was the only woman in the team, Sally Warren, who was responsible for confirming Jocelyn's results, and asked the farmers' brothers to sign and seal and issue land certificates. The third table was responsible for reviewing the second table and distributing daily necessities to the farmers. These daily necessities were prepared from large light industrial factories confiscated in Elena and several surrounding cities. They were all daily necessities such as clothes, bed sheets, washbasins and tea tanks. The farmers were able to receive some daily necessities after receiving the land and were naturally very cooperative with the working group. The land rights confirmation and certification work went smoothly.
However, as the work progressed, Jocelyn also encountered problems. Because several villages had promoted land reform on their own, the farmers did not have the previous land information. Although most of the farmers were honest and directly asked for the land they had previously divided during the land reform. However, many farmers took advantage of the opportunity of land reform again to get some good land to their own names. When Jocelyn confirmed the land rights with them, they began to make a request to replace the land and replace the previous land with the land they allocated.
"My fellow villager, this is not possible. Your four acres of land are all good paddy fields. They were distributed to two families before. Now you take all the bad lands alone, and it is not appropriate to give others all the bad land, right?"
Jocelyn was not impatient when encountering problems. Elena won the impossible defensive battle. Their leader Gastenth was also a suspected great magician. The future of the revolution was bright and victory was expected. He naturally had a good mood to deal with these trivial matters. The farmer was still trying to struggle when he heard this.
"This, comrade, when I was a tenant farmer at the old Hobbes family, I had been planting these acres of paddy fields, which had been planted for almost ten years. These acres of paddy fields are like my children, and I can't bear to give them to others."
"I have planted the paddy fields too! The tenant farmer in the old Hobbes family is not your old Poly Willie alone. Can I also want one acre!"
"Yes, the officials have all divided the positions, so I'll allow you to take a good place!!!"
Behind Old Poly Willie, some farmers couldn't stand his behavior of wanting good land and shouted. Jocelyn reached out to comfort everyone, and continued to communicate with Old Poly Willie with a smile.
"This fellow villagers, our land reform is a government act, and it is subject to the land certificate we issued. You and your fellow villagers support the revolution and take the initiative to reform. We welcome it. However, there are fixed numbers and records of how this land is allocated. Your four acres of paddy fields were previously distributed to two other peasant brothers, and the four acres of land you were allocated to, two acres of good land, two acres of secondary land, etc., and they are also registered. If you want good land like you, who wants bad land!"
"That's right, it's not enough to just give him the benefit!"
"That's right, you'd better collect his land as soon as possible. He wants good land so much, maybe he's a counter-revolutionary!"
The crowd behind shouted again. When Old Poly Willie saw someone holding him a counter-revolutionary hat, he became frightened. He didn't want the four acres of paddy fields anymore, so he directly took the land certificate for his four acres of land and went to Sally to confirm it. Jocelyn watched him walk over and smiled silently. Most of the farmers' minds were still very simple, they wanted good land and not bad land. Although they were the foundation of revolution, they also had to be guided and managed appropriately. He gathered his thoughts and shouted in front of him.
"Next!"
————————————
Because the information is well preserved, the land rights confirmation work in He'an Village and several nearby villages has been going on for most of the day, and it's almost done. Jocelyn has been busy since the morning and is so hungry that he touches his back, and he can't stand it anymore. He glanced at the team in front of him and found that there were more than a dozen people. He looked at his right side and looked at his companions' work went smoothly. Jocelyn reached out to wipe the sweat off his face. Just as he was about to finish his work, he saw a big-sleeped and round-waisted lesbian squeezed in front of him.
"Hey, this sister, I know you are in a hurry to ask for the floor, but you have to queue up. You see, everyone else has been waiting for so long, it would be bad not to queue up!"
When Joslin saw that this man seemed to be going to go to the line, he spoke to maintain order. The elder sister waved her hand and interrupted him.
"Who wants to go to the line? The turtle who went to the line gave birth to a son! I'll give you, little brother, this is the noodles we have prepared for our own family. You've been working for a day, so let's have something to eat first."
As he spoke, the eldest sister brought out a large enamel teapot from the basket on her arm. The large teapot was as big as Joslin's head. It was filled with a slowly sautéed crock of wild vegetable noodles, and it was still steaming and smelled fragrant. Joslin glanced at him and found an egg lying inside. His nose moved, and he was almost tempted by the fragrance of the noodles. However, he was also a determined person. He knew the discipline of his team and wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth.
"Sister, we have discipline and cannot take every needle and thread from the people's homes. I can't eat your meal for nothing. I have money here, so I buy your noodles--"
"Buy it! I made it for you, you dare not eat it!"
The eldest sister seemed angry and slapped Jocelyn's hand that she wanted to take money on the table. Although she was a lesbian, she worked in farming all year round and her strength was not worse than Jocelyn. While she pressed Jocelyn's hand, she turned around and cursed.
"You guys who are unscrupulous, the officials have been working for you for a day, and you don't even drink water? They are all fucking vampires!! They all listen to me, and they all wait for me, so that the officials can eat the food and make it again!"
Jocelyn was amused by the style of this elder sister, but the elder sister was obviously prepared. On the two desks beside him, several comrades were surrounded by several rural women of similar size as the elder sister. Almost everyone had a rice bowl or a tea jar in front of them. Jocelyn didn't have to look at it, so she knew that there was probably the same wild vegetable noodles inside. Behind him, more lesbians held bowls, jars and buckets, surrounded the soldiers who came with them, and insisted on letting them eat. When Jocelyn saw this attitude, he knew that the meal was not enough. He begged for mercy, let go, and did not mention the money, so he sat at the table and ate the bowl of noodles. The other comrades and soldiers also started eating as he did. For a moment, there was only the sound of sucking in the Yanggu Field.
"I'm talking about big brother." When the elder sister saw Jocelyn start eating, she sat beside him and looked at the records made by Jocelyn on the table, "You are so awesome and can write. You must be from the city!"
"Sister, I'm not from the city. I'm also a serf. This writing is taught by Ailena's night school, so we can all learn it."
Jocelyn did not conceal Eilena's policy. This time they came out, land reform was the main task, but they also shouldered the responsibility of promoting and explaining Eilena's policy. Since the elder sister asked, he naturally knew everything and said everything.
"Oh, that's great. I have three sons, all in my twenties, I can't write, and I'm not educated, and I'm out all day. Is your night school accepting people? Can I send my son there?"
"Our night school is accepted, but you don't have to worry. After the land reform is completed, we will promote night school throughout the province. At that time, all the farmers and brothers can learn to write and learn culture as long as they want!"
Jocelyn took the opportunity to promote it, and the voice was not small. When the farmers around him heard it, they all rushed over. You know, learning to write and go to school was originally a luxury thing that only big landlords could afford. How dare they have such dreams? For a moment, everyone's questions were like waves, which destroyed Jocelyn. Jocelyn wiped his sweat. Just as he was about to reply, he found that the elder sister helped him block the person back.
"What are you guys? I'll wait for the officials to have dinner!"
"Sister Finna, you are too domineering, so I'll just ask you a question!"
"Yes, we have to listen too!"
