1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 101 Grassroots Organizations
"The insufficient aspects must be further strengthened!" Tao Donglai has already thought of a certain method: "The group of soldiers from the Ming army that we captured have been released and distributed to these two communes? Come out smarter, give regular reports to new members, remember the hardships and think about the sweetness, only then do you know that good times are not easy to come by!"

"You can have this." Ning Qi immediately agreed with Tao Donglai's idea: "It is definitely more useful to have personal experience of the labor camp than to let them take a look at the labor camp. I think it can even be directly It would be nice to pick someone who has been reformed better from the labor camp to give a report, like that little devil who followed Ren Liang's ass all day long."

"You mean Takahashi South? That guy is indeed a good supervisor. After Ren Liang promoted him, the labor efficiency of the labor camp could not be improved compared to before. But it is said that that guy is also very ruthless. It's a little easier, those Southeast Asian monkeys have been tortured enough. I chatted with Ren Liang during dinner yesterday. Almost half of the Southeast Asian monkeys captured last time have died. It is estimated that many of them were given by little devils. Killed." Yan Chujie made no secret of his deep hostility towards those thin, dark-skinned Southeast Asians in his words.

"How does this little devil speak Chinese? If the members of the commune can't understand what he said, it's useless to ask him to give a report." Gu Kai was a little worried about Ning Qi's suggestion.

Ning Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, this little devil has been imitating Ren Liang's Mandarin since he entered the labor camp, and also knows a little Hainan Mandarin. Now his accent is more standard than the students in the literacy class I teach. Let me make a report It shouldn't be a big problem, but it's just that someone needs to help feel the pulse in the general direction, lest he talk nonsense."

"Having said that, how should we determine the severity of punishment in today's case?" Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, Gu Kai quickly brought up the serious matter: "According to the rules we set before, fighting in the commune will be punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances. One month to half a year, but when the rules were formulated at the time, they did not expect that people would die, what should we do now? Should we extend the labor reform period or kill people to pay for their lives?"

"I suggest not to impose the death penalty lightly. It might cause dissatisfaction among the members." Ning Qi first expressed his opinion.

"I also think it is better not to impose the death penalty, but if the death penalty is not imposed, will this cause people to doubt our law enforcement?" Yan Chujie raised a new question.

"As for the scale of the penalty, I think we should consider it from a different angle." Tao Donglai slowly expressed his opinion: "We have to consider the degree of recognition of the members of the commune. If they have the same legal authority, then it will not be a big problem whether it is a death penalty or a labor reform. If they do not agree with this, then any punishment we make will be questioned. In this case It is only in the next stage that we need to consider adjusting the penalty scale to gain the approval of the public. The members of the farm commune obviously belong to the former group, so I don’t think there is any need to worry so much, since the circumstances of the case are already clear, they can be sentenced as they want.”

"Brother's opinion!" Gu Kai agreed very much with his cousin's statement: "Then I will judge according to the draft criminal law?"

"You are a professional, just follow your professional advice."

After lunch, the public trial continued.In the end, the few remaining people were seriously injured and could only listen to the trial while lying down. One of them was even in shock due to excessive blood loss and could not be tried at all.After quickly completing the trials of all the prisoners, Gu Kai quickly announced the decision on punishment.

The five leaders who caused trouble were all sentenced to lifelong labor reform, but one of them died in the brawl, the other three were seriously injured, and only one who was slightly injured was unlucky enough to be sent to a labor camp immediately.The other prisoners were sentenced to a labor reform period as short as one month and as long as half a year, depending on their degree of participation.After the sentence was pronounced and executed immediately, the security guards came up and took these people away. They will spend the night in the labor camp.Of course, as for the labor points and labor grades they obtained before, according to the management regulations of the commune, they were all directly reset to zero.

Relatives of these people were crying in low voices among those who attended the trial, but no one came forward to complain or express dissatisfaction with the sentence, which is consistent with Tao Donglai's previous judgment.Psychologically, these people have basically acquiesced in the local authority of the Travelers, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with the Travelers replacing the yamen of the Ming court in adjudicating cases.

The matter did not end here. In order to avoid hidden dangers after the incident, the family members of the new immigrants who participated in the fight were all moved out of the farm commune, and they will be resettled to the salt field commune.As for what happened here and the decision to deal with it, the Executive Committee must also inform the Salt Field Commune in time to avoid similar conflicts there again.

This unexpected incident made the Executive Committee realize that there are still various contradictions hidden in the current seemingly calm situation, and the management crisis caused by the large number of people imported in a short period of time is gradually emerging.Most of the cross-travelers are assigned to work in technical positions, and there are relatively few personnel engaged in civil affairs management, resulting in a loose and weak organization at the bottom, which is the root cause of the current unrest.At the daily meeting of the executive committee that night, this point of view was clearly raised by Tao Donglai.

"Three or five people have to manage hundreds of ordinary people. I think we thought this matter was too simple before." Tao Donglai looked around at the executive committee present, and slowly expressed his opinion: "In addition to adding I think the commune’s organizational structure also needs to be readjusted in terms of the intensity of policy publicity and the degree of punishment for violators.”

"However, the shortage of manpower is still the biggest problem we face. The Military and Police Department can train a group of security guards with basic law enforcement capabilities within a month, but we cannot train a group of qualified indigenous people within the same period of time. Cadres." Ning Qi shook his head and said, "We don't have that many management personnel available now, unless we all go down to the grassroots."

It is obviously unrealistic for these existing senior managers to go down to the grassroots level. In addition to participating in the daily management planning of the executive committee, each executive committee member also has their own specialized fields of responsibility, and there is no time and energy to go to the commune. Play the role of overseer.

"It's not just about the appointment of cadres, you didn't understand what I mean." Tao Donglai explained: "The contradictions among the common people are endless, even if it is not the difference of ideas between the new and old immigrants, there will be other problems. What we need to do is to establish an effective communication and mediation channel in the commune, which is an effective mechanism for resolving conflicts, instead of temporarily sending a few senior cadres to sit in town for a period of time. With a mature and reliable Management mechanism, we can promote it on a larger scale in the future, otherwise we may be exhausted for today's things in a few years."

"Old Tao, do you mean to build self-government among members? Isn't that the village committee?" Beks, who had already figured out a bit of flavor from Tao Donglai's words, asked, "But have you ever thought about the possibility that this might be related to the village committee?" Duplication of power between our commune management committees."

"It is not simply to copy the village committees we are familiar with, but to integrate the commune into the civil administration system more comprehensively, and to expand the functions of the management committee, not just simple administrative management, organization of production and maintenance. The organization of public security needs to go deep into every aspect of people’s lives to form a more detailed organizational structure. My words may be too abstract, so to help everyone understand, let me draw a picture.” Tao Dong said, stood up, and walked Going to the whiteboard in front of the meeting room, I picked up a pen and started my explanation.

"Our previous commune management committee was like a drop of oil floating on the water, unable to penetrate into the bowl of water of the common people, so the management effect was not very satisfactory. This is not a question of the number of management committee members, but rather When we designed this management committee, we did not consider the functions sufficiently and meticulously, and at the same time, there were some problems in the working methods.” Tao Donglai turned around and explained while writing on the whiteboard: “What I am designing now This kind of grass-roots organizational structure, I call it 'root system' management."

"What is the root system management? I have a preliminary idea for everyone to refer to." Tao Donglai seriously drew a map similar to the root system of plants under the root system, and then listed the names one by one.

Agricultural Technology Association, Farmer Education, Sports and Health, Red and White Directors, Temple Religion, Production Mutual Aid, Rural Finance, Public Security Maintenance, Civil Dispute Coordination... Tao Donglai wrote [-] or [-] names in one breath, so that this sub-root The content of the picture is immediately enriched.And the executive committee members who were watching the picture also showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"These organizations can be established under the guidance and supervision of relevant departments. For example, agricultural technology associations and production mutual aid associations can be supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture, while public security maintenance and dispute coordination can be supervised by the Ministry of Military and Police. Red and white directors and religious affairs can be supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture. Supervision by the civil affairs department, and so on, the managers are still these people, but these detailed functional institutions can be delegated to members, and we only perform the responsibility of guidance and supervision.”

"These semi-independent grassroots organizations can effectively coordinate the relationship between members, and at the same time establish more communication channels between members and between members and the management committee. The problem we have now is to count on how many people from the management committee Individuals can manage everything with one hand, but they have never thought of delegating part of the power to the common people so that they can organize themselves and manage themselves. I know that everyone will worry about the old clan-style management system in rural areas, but we adopt this With this emerging management structure, we can avoid clan relations from interfering with our rural policy to the greatest extent!"
