Wang Shengdao: "This is because the existence of landlords hinders social development and hinders the development of productivity, so the landlord class must be eliminated."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Director Wang, can you explain it in detail?"

Wang Shengdao: "After the landlords in ancient China occupied a large amount of land, they did not use it to manage farming, exhibit agricultural technology, increase yield, or plant economic crops, but rented the land to farmers to cultivate. Relying on land rent as the main income, only a very small number of landlords would engage in farming in person. This increased the burden on farmers, because land rent often accounts for a large proportion of the land harvest. Second, because farmers have to rely on the fields to survive, this increased the personal dependence of farmers on landlords, and bound farmers to the land, hindering the development of industry and commerce. Third, in this large social environment, most industrial and commercial people did not invest money in expanding reproduction after making money, but purchased land and became landlords. This was not conducive to the development of industrialization in modern society, so they could only eliminate the landlord class, and China in this era could be exhibited."

Qin Zheng said: "Director Wang is right. Some of the landlords may be good landlords, but as a class, because they are in the modern society, they are a class that hinders social development and productivity development. Therefore, this class must be eliminated. This is the main reason why we carry out land reform."

Zhang Jiaqi said: "But what should those good landlords do? Will they also be eliminated? Can you think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds?"

Wang Shengdao: "The Liu family in Menbu Village is a good example. We compensate the land they have acquired and support them to trade and trade. So we have considered these aspects."

Zhang Jiaqi said: "But what if some landlords do not accept these compensations and still have to retain the land?"

Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is no room for compromise on the land. Therefore, if you do not accept these compensation measures and still insist on retaining the land, then you can only enforce it, even if a good landlord is no exception."

After Wang Sheng finished speaking, some time travelers looked uncomfortable, and someone said, "Isn't that a national violence?"

At this time, Qin Zheng's face also became serious, and he said, "In this era, we choose revolution. Revolution is not to treat guests to dinner, not to make articles, not to paint and embroider. It cannot be so elegant, calm, gentle, respectful, and frugal. Revolution is a riot, a violent act of one class to overthrow another. Therefore, it must touch the interests of some people, and even sacrifice some people. Perhaps these people will not die in crimes, but for the sake of the entire China exhibition, a group of people who hinder the development of history and social progress must be sacrificed. If these people do not make changes themselves, some people may think that this approach is too excessive, too inhumane, and even does not talk about human rights. However, humanity and human rights must be found in a peaceful and stable environment. Without peace and stability, people's most basic right to survival cannot be guaranteed. The so-called humanity and human rights are empty talk."

"China is far from talking about humanity. When talking about human rights, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial state and achieve national independence. To do this, land reform must be carried out. Therefore, landlords who refuse to adapt to historical development and social progress can only eliminate them, even if they are good people. The best of both worlds is there, and there is no way to sacrifice; to make yourself stronger, you can protect all people. This result can only appear in films and TV series or books, and in reality, you can only make choices, sacrifice a few people and save most people. Let me give you a simple example. There are 10 people in a ship on the sea, but the ship can only carry 60 people, otherwise the ship will sink. If there are only 60 people, the ship can reach the shore safely. If you are the captain, what do you choose to do? Should you choose to let the ship sink, all people are buried at the bottom of the sea, or sacrifice 40 people to protect 60 people."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the venue also became silent. Some people were thinking, some were confused, and some were in dismay, and some were in dismay.

After a while, Zhang Jiaqi said: "Political Commissar Qin, I can understand the necessity of carrying out land reform, but I think I can't do such a job, so I requested to withdraw from the land reform team."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, and you don't have a psychological burden if you leave the land reform team. This is not all your problem. Our work is not in place. Before the land reform, we have a responsibility for clearing the work environment for land reform. The Executive Committee will arrange for you to do the appropriate work in the future."

Zhang Jiaqi said: "Thank you."

After Zhang Jiaqi withdrew, four more people filed a request to withdraw from the land reform team, including three women and two men, and Qin Zheng also agreed to their request to rescue them. However, there were not many women in the land reform team, and there were only 7 women in the 3o individuals. At this moment, nearly half of the women withdrew from, and Gao Jun had only 4 women left.

However, what made Qin Zheng happy was that most people finally chose to stay and continue the land reform work, which shows that this symposium still achieved very obvious results. Although the time travelers who stayed may not have completely eliminated psychological barriers, at least they understood the true meaning of land reform, which is very important in future work.

After the symposium, Qin Zheng and Wang Yunpeng also returned to Qingdao. Before leaving, they had a simple exchange with Wang Sheng and Gao Jun, requiring them to fully implement the [Outline of the Land Reform System] and strengthen ideological education for local staff. Although the thoughts of time travelers have been understood, there are still a large number of local staff in the land reform team, and they should not be underestimated. Moreover, after returning to Qingdao, they will take the incident of Menbu Village students as an example to educate the land reform personnel who stayed in Qingdao to understand the social significance and problems faced by land reform. At the same time, they will also send land reform personnel left in Qingdao to Menbu Village for observation and study and absorb experience.

After Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and the withdrawn personnel left, the land reform work continued, and the most important part of the land reform was carried out next.

According to the division of ingredients and the results of previous inventory, the corresponding land, as well as livestock, farm tools and a small part of the house supplies are allocated according to the population of each household. Although the villagers were a little disgusted with the land that was divided into the same village, their joy still dominated. After all, no matter how good the landlords are, they planted other people's land, and no matter how little the land rent is paid, they still account for more than half of the harvest. Now the land is their own, and the tax paid is much less. They can leave most of the harvest themselves, and the farmers are naturally happy.

Due to the deterrence of helicopters, the landlords who lost their land basically gave up confrontation. During the process of dividing land, there were no unexpected events. Moreover, there were continuous publicity from propaganda teams, so farmers' attitudes towards the land reform team were much better. When they met on the road, they would greet the time travelers enthusiastically. Almost every day, someone would send some food, local specialties, even a pair of insoles, a purse, etc. to the land reform team. Although there were not many things and were not worth much money, this enthusiasm came from the hearts of the farmers. At this time, the land reform team felt that their efforts were finally rewarded, and the psychological barriers when expropriating the land were basically completely disappeared.

After the land was divided, more than half of the land reform work in Menbu Village was completed, and the important work was basically completed. The rest was to issue land certificates to each household, establish a village committee and agricultural mutual aid association, and also give farmers some farm tools to guide and help them cultivate scientifically. In addition, organize militias in the village to maintain daily public security in the village and surrounding areas.

However, of course, these things cannot be used for so many people. Moreover, the land reform work in Menbu Village has indeed accumulated a lot of practical experience by participating time travelers, and has been considerable in terms of thoughts and actions. Therefore, the time for comprehensive land reform has been ripe.

So Wang Sheng and Gao Jun reorganized the land reform team, leaving only 4 time travelers and 8 local staff to handle the remaining work, and divided the other 24 time travelers and the remaining staff into 8 batches, and each batch was supplemented with 3-5 time travelers and several local staff. In this way, 8 land reform teams were formed to ensure that the number of people in each land reform team was more than 20 people, and a platoon of troops was equipped to dispatch to 8 villages around Menbu Village to carry out land reform work. And add some personnel to Menbu Village, while completing the remaining work, while fully commanding the land reform work in each village.

In fact, when the land reform was carried out in Menbu Village, people were sent to watch it. At the most, the number of people watching exceeded 30. As Menbu Village’s land reform was in a deepening direction, from the time of the land division stage, the people watching the land reform were also quite touched. Some were worried, some were depressed, but some were waiting and excited. Some even asked time travelers when they would go to their village to carry out land reform.
