Chapter 48 Their Fate Is Already Connected

The first problem faced in building a peasant association is that the peasant households are basically illiterate.

Of course, for mathematics, most peasants have only the most basic ability to count with their fingers, and they are completely illiterate.

If you can find three or five people in a village who know a few big characters and can perform the most basic addition and subtraction operations, that is considered good luck.

Su Yonglin's literacy and numeracy staff are also precious, and they are in short supply.

Therefore, to deal with special matters, the 41 veterans of the Su family can only take on more responsibilities and play a guest role as the liver emperor.

The peasant association always has an organization, power, management, and convincing. It can follow the orders of Su Yonglin's victory in the Czech army headquarters, and organize the villagers to do things. No way.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Su Yonglin decided on a peasant association's operating rules.

He stipulated what the peasant association should do and what powers it should have.

In order for the peasant association to count, the executive power, judicial power and armed control power must be given to the peasant association.

In this place where the landowners and gentry controlled the land, in order for the new countryside to survive, the peasant association must have power, leadership, and the courage to fight.

When Su Yonglin lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, the government structure of the Southern Song Dynasty generally went to the county, but the officials of the county government were still the power controllers, and they still had absolute authority over everyone in the county, not weak.

Of course, they discuss politely with such families as big landlords and squires, hello, hello, everyone.

However, Su Yonglin also noticed that the county government still has a coercive force against the weak like the peasants and the quasi-squires who cannot influence the county government, such as the rich peasants and small landlords.

Small and medium-sized county officials and even some armed men go to the countryside in groups from time to time to go to ordinary peasant families, rich peasants, and small landlord families to extort money, which is equivalent to collecting protection fees and earning extra money, which will not be counted in normal taxation at all.

Of course, you can not give.

But if you don't give it, just wait and wear small shoes.

In this one-third of the acre, the strong dragons do not overwhelm the local snakes, and the Zhao Guan family does not have these bullies to help. No matter how hard you work and how you accumulate wealth, you will always become a fat sheep in the eyes of these bullies. Reasons to kill you anytime, anywhere.

Unless you have an adventure, or become a scholar and gain fame, or you will never try to get ahead, you will be extorted to death, and you will be knocked out of your bones and marrow, and you will do your best to do evil.

As a businessman, Su Yonglin, if he didn't have Sun Yuanqi's protection, would be a piece of fat in the mouth of the local officials in Dinghai County, everyone's money bags and piggy bank, don't want to keep anything.

But here, farmers in ordinary rural areas are silent as front-line producers and have no political rights.

Not to mention political rights, even the most basic personal rights as a person cannot be preserved. The county government can extort, extort, and even destroy the body at will, and the peasants are powerless to resist.

Therefore, Su Yonglin felt that he would give the peasant association administrative power, both now and in the future.

The peasant association must ensure that it will not lose its voice under the county-level government, that it can speak up, that it has its own functions and powers, and that it can be used.

In this way, they will not be arbitrarily bullied and extorted by the county officials and groups, and the county government must discuss everything with the peasant association, and cannot arbitrarily force orders and harm the interests of farmers.

In order to guarantee such administrative power, the peasant association also has certain judicial power.

Judicial power can ensure that the peasant associations have control over the countryside, and in times of war, conspirators who sabotage the peasant associations can be tried at any time to prevent them from engaging in subversive conspiracies locally.

In order to ensure the execution of executive power and judicial power, armed power is the cornerstone.

The peasant self-defense force must be established and given a certain degree of training and arming, so that the peasant association has the ability to attack conspirators and resist lawless magistrates.

In the serf village area controlled by the Jin people, with these three powers, the structure of the peasant association is basically complete and can be run.

In other areas still under the control of the landlords and gentry, the peasant associations had to do one more thing - to overthrow the private patriarchal power of the landlords and gentry.

This is common in the Southern Song Dynasty and parts of the Jin Kingdom, but it did not exist in the 41 villages ruled by Su Yonglin.

Therefore, in addition to burning, killing, looting and looting the common people, the Jin people are not completely without good deeds.

At least it reduced Su Yonglin's cost of rebelling.

After realizing this, Su Yonglin is very happy, and the peasant association can also be very happy.

After the peasant association has mastered the power of administration, justice and armed forces, it is the real grass-roots political organization.

They can count the household registration and the number of acres of land in the entire village, manage and deal with the daily disputes of the villagers, punish crimes, protect the interests of farmers, and operate to provide Su Yonglin with money, food and reserve soldiers.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

Su Yonglin gave power to the peasant association, but the peasant association did not have so many qualified farmers who could become cadres of the peasant association to exercise these powers.

If the organizational relationship is very complicated, only the 41 special commissioners sent by Su Yonglin to serve as vice presidents and instructors of the Peasant Self-Defense Force can take on the responsibility and become the actual power holders in the countryside, then the peasant association is basically an empty shell.

This is not in line with Su Yonglin's thoughts.

He didn't want the people he sent to become the actual rulers, that's not good.

So Su Yonglin decided to make a temporary simplification.

After thinking about it, he decided to take out the judicial power separately, and set up three chapters of the law in the example of Liu Bang: the murderer shall pay for his life, the wounded shall be punished, and the thief shall be punished.

The judicial power in the area controlled by the peasant association is simplified to these three points.

These three points are simple and intuitive, covering most of the types of judicial cases in the civil society, and even an illiterate person can execute them.

In this way, the other members of the peasant association can be in charge of at least one judicial authority and maintain daily law and order, so that the commissioners sent by Su Yonglin will not be too powerful.

In addition, the chairman of the peasant association and the captain of the peasant self-defense force should also be served by people from the village.

As for who will be appointed, Su Yonglin will sign an order to appoint temporarily, and when the situation stabilizes, it will be recommended by the villagers and then appointed by Su Yonglin.

The special commissioner, as the representative of the Shengjie Army, played a minimum restriction and supervision role, so that the chairman of the peasant association and the captain of the Self-Defense Force would not be able to recognize the reality with a single move, and thus deceive others.

On the other hand, the president of the peasant association and the captain of the Self-Defense Forces can also play a restrictive role on the commissioner, so that the commissioner will not become the emperor of the village with the halo of Su Yonglin himself.

In this way, the temporary "Regulations on Farmers' Associations" was born. As for the subsequent changes and additions, it is a matter of the future.

Right now, we need to urgently set up a peasant association and run it first.

After Su Yonglin convened a group of subordinates for a discussion, he decided to issue this regulation to the 41 villages he belonged to, and asked the commissioners to go to the village as quickly as possible to complete this set of organizational structure.

Select well-known peasants in the village, those who are a little older, or brave and intelligent, and let them work in the peasant association.

Then, at the same time as doing business, the commissioner will open literacy classes and arithmetic classes to carry out the minimum literacy activities.

When the literacy campaign has reached a certain scale, general education and historical education can be started, and political education can be further developed.

It is time to read and read, to understand reason and reason, Su Yonglin believes that such efforts will not fail him.

After this transformation, these peasants could no longer endure such cruel oppression and exploitation.

They saw the light.

In this era, the only people who can bring light to them are Su Yonglin and his army.

In this way, it means that these 41 villages are closely integrated with the Shengjie Army, and their fate is connected, and they can no longer be separated. They will all be the most loyal supporters of the Shengjie Army.

If you want to change this situation forcibly, you can only refer to the practice of the general manager of Kaishen Logistics-the stone must be too much, and the person must be changed.

Pooh!
