"Here, here another."

"What's this going on?"

"What's the matter? Event! Lending money, forcing the bitter lord to sell his daughter back, and when he got the money, he said that he was less and robbed the bitter lord's field, and if they wanted to sue, they sent people to block the road and push the complainant directly down the mountain! ”

"Huh, really, fake?"

"Can it be fake? Didn't you see that as soon as the bitter master appeared in the courtroom, he was so frightened that he trembled like sifting chaff, and the judge directly sentenced him to a decisive decision! ”

"Bastard! The vice president did the right thing, this kind of person should have been killed a long time ago! ”

"Yes, I support the vice president too! He is the one who speaks for us people. ”

The early summer of 1918 was absolutely far-reaching, and when Cheng Cheng's murderer was arrested and confessed that the masterminds behind the scenes were several angry and corrupt landowners, the provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui suddenly became violently in turmoil. Thousands of landlords and gentry and officials who colluded with them were implicated, including not only the Republican Party and the Kuomintang, but also the officials of the National Society who had taken refuge in them a few years earlier. But this time Yang Qiu had already made up his mind, so all the black sheep in the entire Suwan officialdom were wiped out! The Ministry of Justice even used a special train to transport suspects to Nanjing, and the temporary special court set up at the foot of the Purple Mountain held trials day and night, attracting tens of thousands of onlookers every day.

When the evidence was put in front of them, the gentry who had been arrogant in the countryside in the past began to tremble, and the officials who colluded with them were even more colorless. As the trial deepens and journalists add fuel to the fire, the dark side of the place is completely exposed. Many people living in the cities only discovered at this time that the remote and conservative areas had reached such an appalling level, not only did they turn a deaf ear to the central government's decrees, but also colluded with groups of people to wantonly farm land, openly lowered rents and interest rates, secretly collected money, embezzled, took bribes, and extorted excessively, and privately used usury to make huge profits. One by one, it not only shook the whole country, but also became the hottest topic after dinner. It also shook the entire Republic of China officialdom! The people who did bad things were restless every day, and no one expected that Yang Qiu's attack would be so ruthless and direct, and some of those evidences even they had forgotten. You can still turn it out! Even those who have never done this kind of thing secretly warn themselves, and by the way, check whether their family members have hidden what they have done during this time, for fear that after the fire in Jiangsu and Anhui is burned, they will find out their own province after the fire, so they should do prevention work first.

And at this very time! Congressman, Republican bigwig, and one of the leaders of the Wuxu Reform Law, Liang Qichao took the lead in submitting a high-profile proposal to impeach Vice President Yang Qiu. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and it also attracted many parliamentarians from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and also launched a gentry signature campaign. Initiating impeachment proceedings for abuse of power, violation of the Constitution, unauthorized use of the military, and disregard for human life. This impeachment motion is absolutely explosive, since Yang Qiu's beginnings, no one has dared to directly challenge the authority of this young man, some people watched, some people laughed secretly, and of course more people directly scolded the impeachment party. As the rhetoric on both sides became more and more intense, many things began to directly tear their faces and insult them. This trend also permeates the people. In particular, the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui were in an uproar, and the gentry and landlords in many places were afraid of losing their fields, so they protested one after another, while the national society and the peasant associations that had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain also stood firmly behind Yang Qiu. Launched the Soviet-Anhui Strike Movement.

As the two parties were unable to reach a new farming lease agreement, weeds began to appear in many fields that had already been ploughed for spring. On the one hand, the landlords and gentry gritted their teeth and preferred to abandon the fields to keep them, and on the other hand, they hoped to be treated fairly and justly, but on the other hand, they hoped to return to the familiar fields as soon as possible. So at this point, no one knows how it will end.

Early in the morning, Tegkaris waited at the door with his camera. As a reporter for Time Magazine, with the help of Hangel, he finally got the opportunity to be interviewed and participate in today's congressional vote with Yang Qiu. As a journalist for a political weekly, he knows what it means today for this young man born in the Far East. Although everyone knows that there is absolutely no chance of an impeachment vote, if the opposition gets a large number of votes in favor, it will definitely be a big blow to his political career and prestige.

So in what way will he defuse this crisis today? It was to gain the confidence of an absolute vote to continue his reforms. Or is it another situation? The door was pushed open, and the stern guards escorted the young man out of the gate, and Tiger Karis raised his camera to point at him, and found that his face was not at all nervous, and he kissed the two wives very easily, Tiger was a little envious, and the country was gradually gaining recognition from the West. It seems that forgetting to change the feudal system of polygamous marriage.

"Lord Karis, won't you go along?"

After Tiger woke up from his envious reverie, Yang Qiu had already gotten into the car and beckoned to him. When he followed into the carriage and looked at Yang Qiu, who didn't seem to know that today was a fateful day, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency Vice President, aren't you worried?" ”

"Worried about what? Failure no! I won't fail! It's not confidence, it's they give me confidence! Yang Qiu pointed out the window. Tiger then realized that the road leading from here to the Capitol had been quietly filled with people for some time. Among them are members of the National Socialist Party, radical young people of the YMCA, peasants led by Hao Chongwen who have traveled thousands of miles from northern Jiangsu, and supporters of Yang Qiu from all over the country! Sincere and eager faces, and a pair of eyes that have become translucent after being ruled to be free! Is it 50,000 or 100,000? Or maybe it's half a million?! No one knows how many people poured into Nanjing today, and Tiger could see Yang Qiu's supporters dressed in different clothes, wearing badges, waving national flags, and then flooding the entire city. He wouldn't be surprised if this happened in the United States, anywhere in Europe, but here is China! In a country that a few years ago was ignorant, feudal, and could not even understand the republic, there was such a huge march of supporters! Is this a joke of God? He suddenly remembered the Chinese photos he had seen when he was a child, and the Chinese in those photos were all dull-eyed and numb, and his impression of China at that time was a "puppet country". But today he learned that in fact, Chinese are not numb, they also have great enthusiasm for politics, and they also have the same curiosity about the world as Americans, but those rulers in the past regarded them as "puppets"! And all these changes are because of the great constitutional lawsuit that he controlled around him, because of the declaration that has spread all over the world.

"All the imprisoned compatriots in China are free!"

This sentence. Knock over the boulder that weighed on the hearts of 40,000 people! Hundreds of years after the Qing government entered the customs, they finally wanted to be recognized by the state as free citizens again! At this moment, Tiger even remembered Abraham Lincoln and remembered Washington! It reminds me of the revelry and earth-shaking shouts of the slaves when they were emancipated in the Civil War.

With this in mind, the car arrived at the National Assembly Building, a brand new building donated by two major industrial groups in Hanyang and Chongqing, which had just been put into use at the end of last year. It is now one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in Nanjing. But it didn't give Tiger any sense of grandeur, because something suddenly occurred to him. Is it dramatic that Yang Qiu will be subjected to an impeachment vote by dissidents today in the Capitol building donated by his own corporate donation? If he fails, will he be so angry that he will tear down the building?

After the two got out of the car and walked into the building, the noisy and noisy venue instantly quieted down because of his appearance, and the impeachment faction led by Liang Qichao bit him with a cold glow that made people palpitate. But just after the gavel for the meeting sounded. Before they could react, Yang Qiu stood up suddenly: "Before the vote on my impeachment, please allow me to say two words. After saluting Li Yuanhong, Tang Shaoyi, and the speaker and getting permission, Yang Qiu made a gesture to Kuang Xukun. The latter quickly brought in boxes of documents that had been prepared and distributed them to each councillor.

"What is this?"

"Cheng Cheng Bill?"

"No, look here, it's supposed to be the land reform bill."

Everyone opened the thick draft and whispered. I didn't understand why Yang Qiu suddenly submitted a new bill at this time, so his eyes gradually focused on him again. Yang Qiu picked up a draft of the land reform law and slowly walked to the center of the podium. As the only reporter present, Tegra walked to the front with Kwong Xukun, who was acting as an interpreter temporarily, half-crouching to adjust the camera lens.

The young man in the camera has lost the ease he had just now, his face is full of solemnity of worrying about the country and the people, he rolled up his sleeves slightly, and scanned the audience with the draft in his hand: "This is what I brought, but it was drafted by an ordinary teacher who fell in a despicable assassination!" He originally called this bill "China's Draft Land Reform Proposal", but in honor of his immortality, I temporarily changed this draft to his name. He is a young teacher who is only 26 years old! From Ya'an Private School in Sichuan to Chengdu Normal School, and then from the Normal School to Harvard University in the United States to further study business administration! After returning to China, he did not choose to enter politics. I didn't choose to do business, but went to Xuzhou to teach and educate people! For more than a year, he not only did his job well, but also used half of his salary to buy school supplies to support students from poor families. Originally, he could not have been involved in the dispute, but he was afraid that his students would not be able to continue their studies because of the land and survival. That's why I wrote this piece of advice.

I don't think I need to say who he is, but today let's put aside our political identities and political parties, and take a look at a young teacher's vision for the future of this country. He was not radical and did not hate anyone who owned the land, so in the first article he stated that the landowner's right to own the land was recognized! But he also saw the consequences of land centralization, and after seeing that the majority of the people were struggling to move forward and could not even guarantee food and drink, he put forward eight suggestions.

First, all old leases should be abolished, replaced by standard land contracts promulgated by the government of the Republic of China, and the unequal treatment between owners and cultivators should be resolved in an equal manner similar to workers' labor contracts, and it should be clarified that the lease period shall not be less than 30 years, the rent shall not be higher than 20% of the land income, and the rent shall not be increased in any way during the lease period, so as to ensure and safeguard that the rights and interests of land contract cultivators are not infringed upon, and at the same time levy land appreciation tax on land lessors.

Second, it is necessary to establish farmers' mutual aid associations to help low-income peasant families realize mutual assistance and mutual love in terms of technology, resources, and finance, and to break the current demand of peasants who have to rely excessively on all kinds of high-value private loans from all kinds of non-governmental organizations to purchase seeds and develop land. He asked the central government and the central bank to favor the peasant associations in their policies, and to introduce high-quality seeds from abroad and set up a national agricultural laboratory to meet the needs of supporting the industrial and commercial and population growth of the whole country's agricultural development.

Third, those who own too much land will be subject to an additional land tenure tax according to the size of the land, with an upper limit of 1,000 mu per household in paddy fields and 2,000 mu per household in dry land, and 5 percent of the value of the expropriated land per mu will be levied as a tax every year if it is exceeded.

Fourth, barren mountains and wastelands should be conserved in the form of government trusteeship. Promote afforestation to protect water and soil. The state must conserve the water and soil near all major rivers and lakes in the country, and prohibit all acts of man-made land reclamation and destruction of water and soil! In the north of the Yangtze River, it is forbidden to raise goats and other animals that will eat grass and tree roots and harm vegetation!

Fifth, the state has the right to automatically reclaim the ownership of land that has been left unused for more than one year or more. and put it to use.

Sixth, the establishment of a national public rental system, that is, the central government buys back land by buying it from the market, etc., and then contracts it to those who are landless. Grain is paid in lieu of tax for public leased land, and paddy fields have been cultivated continuously for 15 years and dry fields for 10 years, and the cultivators automatically enjoy the ownership of the land. This will not only solve the living situation of the landless. It can also increase the amount of grain reserves in the state treasury, and at the same time further improve the gap between the current state farms and private land, so as to form a three-pronged model of state-owned farms, private land, and public leased land in the future.

Seventh, the "Land Law on Resettlement" should be used to speed up the migration to the vast and sparsely populated northeast and northwest, and it is proposed that a total of 30 million to 40 million people be emigrated from Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Hebei provinces, and 20 million people should be emigrated from Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan to Gansu, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. At the same time, it is recommended that the central government redivide Xinjiang into three provinces, so that it can make as much use of land as possible in addition to making it easier to manage. In addition, it will carry out a large-scale cantonment of the frontier areas and develop the western region to ensure the safety of the country's border areas.

Eighth, the establishment of a land management bureau directly under the central government. Conduct large-scale surveys of mountains, rivers, land, and rivers across the country, carry out unified and effective management, expand the scale of wasteland use in an organized manner, develop emerging technologies to use mountains and wasteland, and prohibit any local government from abusing land without full authorization. ”

In a slow voice, some people's faces began to change color. The first article of the draft seems to protect the rights and interests of landlords, but the following articles are all restrictions and hoarding of land. It would have been nice to have less rent, but the land tenure tax was directly directed at the big landlords with more land! What's more, the clause that the state will automatically take back the wasteland after one year is simply a support for the peasant associations that are currently on strike! Tens of millions of acres of land have been farmed, and it is impossible for the landlords to complete the cultivation by themselves. Once the time limit is reached, it is judged that it will be deliberately wasted, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to get back the grass!

Liang Qichao and the other impeachment faction's faces became even darker, but the good impeachment vote was sabotaged by a sudden land reform law, and they were so angry that they were about to stand up. At this moment, two sharp gazes from the podium made them tremble. A sneer crossed the corner of Yang Qiu's mouth, and when he put down the draft, his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "I know!" There are people today who have initiated a vote of impeachment of no confidence in myself! I don't care. It's your right, and Congress has the right to hold accountable those of us who work in government! What I want to say is that each of you should think about this draft before voting, think about the dead Cheng Cheng, think about the aspirations of those young people and compatriots outside for the country, and trust in the government!

As members of Congress, you don't have to think about a certain class, but about the future of this country! It is the future of the nation! You are the most elite group of people in this country, and at your level, what is the use of money, wealth and land?! If you are short of money, then I suggest you go and buy the shares of my company under Yang Qiu's name, and I guarantee that you will double it in three years. Why do you cling to the land, and why do you fight for it with the peasants who are struggling and hungry? The times are different, and it is time to get out of the land thinking that has bound the nation for thousands of years! Looking at the world, every world power has already solved the problem of land distribution, why should we tie our hands and feet?! ”

Yang Qiu's hand waved vigorously, and the voice spread to every corner with the cooperation of Tiger Carlos constantly pressing the shutter: "I'm very high." The impeachment of me shows that democracy has taken another step forward, and I will not prevent any impeachment motion, but I hope that at the same time as the impeachment, there will also be a vote on this bill! Why am I in such a hurry? Because while we talk, our people are starving, and they don't want to wait a moment! ”

"Please vote, I will accept any result, and am ready to resign from all positions!" Yang Qiu dropped a heavy sentence at the end, and then quickly returned to his seat. At that moment, the audience was quietly dropping a needle, and even Liang Qichao, who launched the impeachment, did not expect that Yang Qiu would suddenly forcibly tie up the land reform and the impeachment of him! In this way, opposition to him has become opposition to land reform, and to put it more broadly, it is a direct opposition to the central government's determination to reform, opposition to the hundreds of thousands of people outside who are waiting for the results, and opposition to the 40,000,000 citizens who have been freed!

Originally, the impeachment he initiated could not have succeeded under the condition that the national society controlled eighty percent of the seats, it was nothing more than an opportunity to build momentum, and now Yang Qiu not only dropped the heavy words that he was ready to resign, but also forcibly tied up with the new bill! Who else would dare to stand up now? At that moment, Liang Qichao trembled all over, is this considered a political kidnapping? !

Shameless!!! …… (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
