Crimson Dawn

Chapter 112

If the contradictions between the landlords and ordinary people were sharp because of their class positions, there were also profound contradictions among the landlord class.Chen Ke firmly believed in this.As soon as the external pressure disappears, the struggle within the landlords will become sharper and deeper.The landlord class in China does not have a kind of class consciousness, so it is impossible for them to have a real political consensus.Of course, even if they have any political consensus, it is limited to the level of productivity and cannot form any real power.

After the death of Yuan Datou, China fell into a situation of warlords.The landlord class can at most oppress the common people, and the warlords can also carve up the landlords at will.So after having his own armed force, Chen Ke didn't care much about the landlord's opposition.The reason why he didn't turn his face directly, but adopted the method of differentiation and persuasion, is simply because there is still a more powerful enemy, the Manqing. The "United Front" is the force that can be united with the greatest possible unity, and strives to make the various factions within the enemy choose a neutral position in the struggle, so as to achieve the greatest benefit at the lowest cost by "struggling against stubbornness".

The facts were as Chen Ke expected, as soon as Shang Yuan brought out the conflicts among the landlords, the landlords at the meeting were no longer united.The ambivalence between Zhang Pinggui and Lu Youlian was intensified.Although Zhang Pinggui is very clear about Shang Yuan's intention to provoke, but the hostility from the heart is still insurmountable.And Lu Youlian also didn't have a good attitude towards Zhang Pinggui.Even if Zhang Pinggui wanted to ease the hostility, there was no way.

Shang Yuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "The conflict between you is already like this, if there is no charter, think about it, what will happen if tens of thousands of people who have nothing to eat and drink are arguing? Let me put it in the head, my officer In Fengtai Township, we want to protect the environment and the people. If you want me to suppress the people who are about to starve to death, then don’t even think about it. We always have to be virtuous in everything we do. We can save tens of thousands of people. It’s safe to keep your children and grandchildren safe. But if people die of starvation, and everyone sees the King of Hades after they die, the King of Hades asks, how do you explain?”

Shang Yuan doesn't believe in Hades' imps at all, but most of these landlords do.More importantly, form is stronger than people now, even if Shang Yuan doesn't speak for the common people now, the insurance group obviously won't speak for the landlord.

The so-called "red face, white face" is a common means to guide the situation.What Ren Qiying assigned was the red-faced task, and she seemed to be speaking from the landlord's point of view, but in fact she was completely fueling the flames.When Shang Yuan said this, Ren Qiying naturally knew how to say it, "Master County Magistrate, you are the official, we are the people. As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials. No matter how you fight, we will lose. And Mr. Chen Ke is now holding There are thousands of soldiers, and we can't fight. We don't believe you when you say you want a constitution."

In fact, the biggest characteristic of landlords is that they will compromise in the face of power. Ren Qiying said this, expressing the fundamental thoughts of landlords.In China, there is nothing at all to guarantee the interests of the landlords.The government and the landlords are not of one mind.

"Lord County Magistrate, Mr. Chen Ke. We are just like this now. You either have power or soldiers. We are no match for you at all, so we seem to only listen to what you say. So if you force it, we will also There is no way, but to convince us, just talking about it is not enough.” The speaker was Liu Jinxue, nicknamed Si Gouzi, who had read some books, but was not admitted as a scholar.According to the investigation report of the People's Party, this gentleman is very enthusiastic about his official career.Always want to speculate.

According to the survey data, Shang Yuan can probably guess what Liu Jinxue meant, "What is constitutionalism? It means that everyone discusses everyone's affairs together. I mean, let's hold a people's congress. Representatives are elected to discuss major issues. What about this conference? Let’s all choose together.”

"Lord county magistrate, you are just joking. Now the common people have gone with the insurance group, let everyone choose, and they must be members of the insurance group. We can't be elected at all. This is not good, this is not good." Liu Jinxue hastily Said.After hearing this, the landlords nodded their heads one after another. Although they were very displeased with Liu Jin's style of learning from Liu Sigou's usual camping style, Liu Sigou is very insightful when it comes to establishing order now.

"That's right, that's right. Whatever representatives are elected now, they must be selected from the insurance group. If we can't elect any of them, then we might as well not elect." The landlords responded one after another.

Liu Jinxue was very happy to hear everyone's support.Since he became sensible, he has never received such support from so many "famous" landlords. Although the situation was urgent and the landlords had to support him, the landlord Liu Jinxue, who was nicknamed Four Dogs, felt like eating in his heart. After drinking the honey, a smug look appeared on his face.

"Then what everyone means is that if you can't speak in this People's Congress, you will definitely disagree?" Shang Yuan asked.

"This..." Liu Jinxue couldn't continue.Although the landlords really mean this, whether it is a constitution or a people's congress, they must have the right to speak and lead.But Liu Jinxue has been in the camp for so long anyway, and he knows that it is okay to think about it this way. He really hopes that such things can be realized, that is just a dream.After hearing Shang Yuan say this, Liu Jinxue knew that he definitely couldn't answer like that.

Looking at Shang Yuan and Chen Ke's sneering expressions, Liu Jinxue knew not to offend.But turning his head and looking at the surrounding landlords looking at him with eager expressions, Liu Jinxue suddenly felt that he had been forced to a very embarrassing situation.He said this because he wanted to find a family background for himself, and he said this involuntarily.Although he didn't know what this "people's representative" meant, Liu Jinxue intuitively knew that this was a position of power, and that this position could be obtained now without being appointed by the government.But before there were Shang Yuan and Chen Ke, and later there were landlords, he found that he was as powerless as a clown.

Just when Liu Jinxue was feeling in a dilemma, the landlord Liu Yixuan who was beside him said, "Master County Magistrate, if you choose a representative, there must be a rule, who can be elected and who cannot be elected. You have to tell a reason. Let us Listen first."

Liu Yixuan, like Liu Jinxue the landlord, has always been very keen on being able to get a job in the government. Seeing Liu Jinxue jumping out, Liu Yixuan couldn't bear to speak.

Shang Yuan smiled slightly, finally someone took the bait, which is a good thing.The insurance group originally entrusted Ren Qiying with the task of acting as this kind of "red face" and leading the meeting to the route stipulated by the People's Party. Unexpectedly, someone volunteered, and it was even easier.Shang Yuan couldn't help but glanced at Chen Ke. Before this meeting, Chen Ke told Shang Yuan that in the atmosphere in northern Anhui, it is important to hope to be an official, as long as the bait of "Official Xu" is thrown Come out, someone will definitely jump out.In fact, Shang Yuan didn't believe it, but he didn't expect Chen Ke to be caught by it.Shang Yuan admired this foresight.

Since some people jumped out voluntarily, Shang Yuan naturally proceeded according to the current plan of the People's Party. "As the saying goes, Tiangang 36, I think it is more appropriate to elect 36 people's representatives. The workers, peasants, soldiers, and businessmen on the ground, plus the government, I am I think there are six representatives from all walks of life. What do you think?"

As soon as this plan came out, the landlords present at the meeting were all taken aback. They really didn't expect Shang Yuan to be so daring to delegate power. "Work" refers to workshops, "farmers" refer to farmers, needless to say soldiers, they must be insurance groups, "study" refers to scholars, and "business" refers to businessmen.As for the government, it must be someone arranged by the county magistrate Shang Yuan.Such a rough calculation shows that among the landlords, those who run workshops, farm the land, study, and do business are all involved.At most, the "farmers", "soldiers" and "government" were monopolized by Shang Yuan and the insurance group, and the other three landlords were very confident in choosing their own people.

Just when the landlords felt that they were likely to have an advantage, Shang Yuan threw out a "blockbuster" again, "Since Liu Jinxue and Mr. Liu Yixuan understand the righteousness, it is not convenient for our government to occupy six people. As long as everyone If we agree to establish the People's Congress, our government will give two seats to Mr. Liu Jinxue and Mr. Yixuan."

As soon as these words were finished, the meeting room immediately exploded with a buzzing sound.Liu Jinxue and Yi Xuan met in surprise, just because they agreed with Shang Yuan's words, and they could get two positions in the future "People's Congress". What an opportunity this is.The other landlords didn't expect Shang Yuan to be so "enlightened", and they were also moved.

"My sages, I have to think about you. Now that the natural disaster is so violent, we must be powerless. But there are tens of thousands of hungry people outside. These people are precarious and make trouble. Can we stand it? This People's Congress has been formed, With people who talk about things and rules, I can explain to these people. Mr. Chen Ke can also explain to the people, right?" Shang Yuan continued his persuasion work.

"Master County Magistrate, what you are planning is nothing more than our land. Whether the People's Congress is built or not, you will definitely use our land. Girl, I just want to ask one thing, this Who is the land lent to? Is it to the government or to the people? Or to Mr. Chen from the insurance group? It’s hard to say, and I don’t dare to pretend to be a representative of the people. If the ancestral land is gone, the girl If he died, how would he explain to the underground ancestors?" Ren Qiying spoke.These words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring on the fiery hearts of the landlords and calming them down.

"Miss Ren is right, I don't dare to make decisions on my own, but I would like to ask, who do you want to lend this land to?" Shang Yuan asked loudly.

Landlords looked at each other, this is a big problem.To whom, that is the question.Before they could speak, I heard Chen Ke say: "Everyone, I don't have any opinion on whom to lend this land to. It's best to lend it to our insurance group. If you don't lend it to our insurance group, you can lend it to the government or the people. The representative meeting is also fine, but I have to explain first that our insurance group must be responsible for allocating the land. In the future, if anything happens, our insurance group must come forward. If you can’t agree to my condition, there is nothing else to discuss.”

Hearing Chen Ke's tough attitude, the landlords immediately lost their minds.Liu Yixuan boldly asked: "Mr. Chen Ke, if you borrow this land, can you return it to us? If you don't return it, what will happen?"

"Mr. Liu, what does our insurance group want your land for? Can you tell me?" Chen Ke frowned and asked in a puzzled manner.

"This... your insurance group said that they lent our land to the common people to plant." Liu Yixuan replied cautiously.

Chen Ke lined up a row of tables, and said in a slightly aggrieved voice: "That's right. We don't want your land. Our insurance group told the people that the land we took was for the people to grow, and the food grown was given to the people. Eat. We don’t just take your land now, we want to take all the land to deal with natural disasters. Not only your land has been borrowed, but the people’s land has also been borrowed. Our insurance group will What are you doing with your land? If we want to take your land, why do we have to go to war so much? We tricked the people into supporting us, and we ended up robbing your land. Everyone belongs to the villagers. If we do this, the people support us. Are you locals? Do you support us outsiders? It must be supporting your locals. If we break our promises, the common people will never recognize it. You have to think about this."

Hearing what Chen Ke said, the landlords realized that the insurance group didn't want to take only the landlord's land, but also the farmers' land.Knowing this fact, the landlords finally breathed a sigh of relief.If this is the case, if the insurance group breaks its promise, it will not only be opposed by the landlords, but the common people will never spare the insurance group.The landlords were relieved one by one, and everyone looked left and right.Although I can't be completely relieved, I finally no longer feel that I am about to encounter a catastrophe.

"Since Mr. Chen Ke said so, I will believe it, girl." Ren Qiying smiled, "But girl also knows a little bit of respect, girl, I am willing to lend the land to the government, and let Shangyuan County Magistrate take charge of this matter. Is that all right? ?
