After hearing this, Li Runshi said, "The secretary and I agree that we should not set up farms, but rather set up people's communes, which would be integrated with the government. The advantage is that it can combine the party, government, industry, agriculture, commerce, education, and the military, making it easier to lead."
Shi Leiyi expressed his determination to implement the central government's instructions.
That day, after a day of research, the three of them came to a small house at the entrance of the village to take a short break. In the breeze, Li Runshi lit a cigarette and looked at a busy field not far away with a deep gaze.
Wang Chunjiang took the opportunity to break the silence, and finally blurted out the question that had been suppressed in his heart: "Boss, what do you think Su Yan's future rural areas will look like? Will it be a people's commune?"
Wang Chunjiang did not seem restrained. He knew that Li Runshi was Mu Yuan's closest comrade-in-arms. There was no need to be too shy in front of him and he could ask him many questions directly.
After hearing this, Li Runshi smiled slightly, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and said calmly and firmly: "The secretary and I have discussed this issue many times. We believe that the future form of rural government in our country will be a communist commune. As for the name, it can be called the people's commune or not. Our two opinions are that it should be called the people's commune.
Our vision is that in the future, each people's commune will have its own agriculture, industry, and many schools, and children can go to primary school, high school, and even college in the commune's schools."
He Qing had been listening carefully and couldn't help but interrupt, "Wouldn't it be the same as in the city? The difference between rural and urban areas would really disappear at that time!"
Li Runshi smiled and nodded, and continued: "That's right, each commune not only has schools, but also hospitals, scientific research institutions, shops and service industries, transportation, nurseries and public canteens, industry clubs, and inspectors to maintain public order, etc.
These rural communes will be closely integrated with the cities around them to form larger communist communes. By then, we will be not far from a true communist society. "
After hearing this, the two of them had a flash of excitement in their eyes: "Such a large commune is really a great blueprint!"
Xinyan News Agency quickly reported on Li Run's inspection of the three provinces, with the headline clearly printed: "The People's Commune is a Great Practice of Socialism!"
Mu Yuan wrote a note for this report: "The people's commune was not a pre-planned plan within the party, but a great spontaneous practice of the masses. Fundamentally, it was because we advocated continuous revolution, breaking superstitions, and daring to think, speak and act that the masses took a step ahead of us and bravely established the people's commune on the basis of agricultural cooperatives.
The next task for the Party is to clarify the principles of the commune and make the path of the commune clearer and clearer.
The report wrote: "Comrade Li Runshi pointed out when discussing the issue of people's communes that the people's communes are, first, large and second, public.
The so-called "big" refers to a large population, a vast land area, a large-scale production, involving agriculture, industry, education, medical care, transportation and other aspects; while "public" represents collective life under public ownership, achieving public ownership of the means of production and a collective lifestyle.
The great practice of combining the socialist system with communist ideology has the seeds of communism and not only provides institutional direction but also ideological answers.
In terms of system, by establishing people's communes, the party, government, workers, farmers, merchants, students and soldiers were combined, and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production and fishery were developed in a coordinated manner, thus achieving the unity of government and society. This is a brand-new socialist form of grassroots political power in rural areas.
In terms of ideology, the people's commune's "seven combinations" requirement also played an extremely important role in breaking the deep-rooted concept of private ownership in people's minds and breaking the bourgeois legal rights. "
With the publication of the Xinyan News Agency report, the name of "People's Commune" immediately spread throughout the Soviet Union.
The people's commune movement was launched vigorously across the country.
...
...
PS:
The first Commune was the Paris Commune.
The people's commune, which still uses the term "commune", is not an economic organization, but a grassroots political power that integrates politics and society.
However, after a certain period of time, all the communes were disbanded, and grassroots governments returned to the old organizational form that had existed for thousands of years.
The political stratification of provinces, cities and counties actually changed at a certain era, but it was also revised after the failure of the movement.
Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 210 Han Ming: A Record of a Village Revolution
Also coming to Suyan to investigate with Edgar was a famous writer from the country of Ama. His name in Suyan was Han Ming.
In his early years, Han Ming participated in the land revolution in Zhangjia Village, Shanxi Province, and lived in the village for a year or two, personally experiencing the arduous struggle of the Suyan peasants to rise up.
Shortly before the outbreak of the Korean War, Han Ming returned to Ama. With his rich experience in Suyan and a lot of records, he wrote a documentary book depicting the land revolution in Suyan - "The Peasants' Uprising".
This book is like a revolutionary textbook. Once published, it was quickly translated into many languages and widely circulated around the world, becoming an important reference for communists in various countries to understand Su Yan's land revolution and carry out land revolution in their own countries.
The whole book focuses on the revolutionary process of Zhangjia Village, allowing people to see how the Suyan peasants endured the miserable years of exploitation under the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social conditions. It also describes in detail how it was under such difficulties that the Party led the poor and lower-middle peasants in Zhangjia Village to organize themselves, launch an attack on the landlord class, and take back their land.
Of course, Han Ming also frankly mentioned in the book some deviations that occurred in the early days of the Agrarian Revolution. The revolutionary sentiment of the masses was high, and sometimes they went too far in the struggle, infringing on the interests of the middle peasants.
However, the Su Yan Central Committee soon sent out a special working group and began a nationwide campaign to correct "leftism" for a period of time.
In Zhangjia Village, with the help of the work team, the masses redivided classes, strictly distinguished the boundaries between middle peasants and rich peasants, compensated the middle peasants whose interests were violated, and united them into the revolutionary ranks, which further consolidated the revolutionary cause of the entire village.
The story of Zhangjia Village is not only the rise of a village, it is actually a microcosm of the entire Suyan people's struggle for rise.
This is how the people of Suyan did. Through repeated struggles and corrections, they continued to move forward, correct deviations, and move forward. They became increasingly smarter and more mature, accomplished an unprecedented great cause, and completely sent the feudal system that had lasted for thousands of years to the grave.
Han Ming's book not only records the story of Zhangjia Village, but also provides a mirror for communists around the world, illuminating the path of proletarian revolution.
After the book was published in the country of Amey, Amey arrested Han Ming, believing that he was suspected of participating in activities endangering national security and making inflammatory "anti-government remarks". All the materials he brought back to the country were confiscated and banned.
This aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of many people in the country. Many left-wing writers stood up to publicly defend Han Ming, pointing out that the arrest of Han Ming was a political sabotage and that the government's actions were actually suppressing freedom of speech.
The Communist Party of Amai also mobilized social forces to bail Han Ming out.
Han Ming's lawyers also defended him relentlessly, submitting a large amount of evidence to the court to prove that Han Ming's activities did not involve any violence or illegal behavior, but were simply writing based on freedom of thought and academic research.
After several years of litigation, the court finally ruled that the Amaic government failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that Han Ming had engaged in acts that "endangered national security," declared him not guilty, and lifted the measures restricting his exit from the country.
So, Han Ming came to Su Yan again.
Unlike Edgar, he wanted to go back to Zhangjia Village where he once lived.
A few years ago, when he left Su Yan, Zhangjia Village was still developing in the new life of the land revolution, and the poor and lower-middle peasants had just begun to adapt to the new life. But now, Su Yan's "People's Commune" movement is vigorously carried out across the country, and Zhangjia Village is no exception.
He wanted to see what the village looked like now.
Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body Problem: Chapter 211 This is true socialism
The plane flew steadily over the vast plain, and Han Ming kept looking out through the window.
A glimpse of the whole picture made him hold his breath.
In that vast plain, between the villages and the roads that connected them, there were neat squares and rectangles of land, green, yellow, and brown, stretching to the horizon.
"amazing."
Han Ming couldn't help but speak softly, feeling deeply moved. Looking down from the sky over Ama Country, he could also see such a scene.
However, a few years ago, when he left Su Yan, he saw a completely different picture.
At that time, land reform had been completed in most areas of Suyan. Suyan's 1.5 billion mu of arable land was distributed to more than 500 million farmers, with each person having only two or three mu of land on average. This average continued to decrease with the increase in population.
So when you look down from the plane, small pieces of land are arranged in scattered and messy patterns, spreading over thousands of kilometers.
The lands were so narrow that when a carriage passed by, one wheel was in one person's land and the other wheel was in another person's land.
The traditional small peasant economy has no future, and both capitalist and socialist agricultural scientists can recognize this fact.
Han Ming had also thought that if Su Yan stayed at the stage of privatized land distribution, with each farmer owning two or three acres of small land, the prospects would be extremely bleak.
From an economic and scientific perspective, individual farmers' hoe farming method was inefficient and backward. They tried their best to swing the hoe, but the annual output was at most about one ton of grain, which was one eight hundredth of what he could produce with mechanized tractor farming in Pennsylvania.
The value of this ton of grain is only over one hundred dollars, which is the upper limit of the small peasant economy.
Remaining in the small peasant economy means that even in the past fifty or one hundred years, the living standards of farmers will not exceed that number.
Of course, this is no longer the feudal pastoral era. The development of society will not stop for small farmers. No matter what kind of prosperity the small farmers enjoy in this short period of time, it is destined to be short-lived.
The small peasant economy will inevitably be destroyed in the process of development, or in a capitalist way, a small group of agricultural capitalists and hundreds of millions of bankrupt farmers will emerge. This will be similar to Victoria's "Enclosure Movement", where hundreds of millions of farmers will either voluntarily or be forced to leave the land, leaving them to fend for themselves, and all become the "price" of the development of productivity.
Or, like the Soviet Union and Su Yan, the state machinery will be mobilized to promote mechanization and collectivization at the same time until agricultural mechanization and rural collectivization are fully realized. At that time, the living standards of farmers will be at least hundreds of times higher than they are now, and there will be no upper limit of $100 per year.
From this point of view, Han Ming admired the Soviet leaders very much. They had embarked on a socialist agricultural path. Compared with the serfs in the feudal era and the bankruptcy of peasants under capitalism, the future of farmers in the Soviet Union was visibly bright.
Thinking of this, Han Ming's mood gradually became excited.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the person accompanying him. This was a senior official of Su Yan, who personally accompanied him to Zhangjia Village this time.
"Minister He, I am increasingly looking forward to the current situation in Zhangjia Village."
Han Ming said with a smile, his tone sincere, while carefully observing the reaction of the person in front of him.
To be honest, he was a little confused. He was just a foreign writer and usually only needed a diplomatic official to receive him. However, he did not expect that he would be accompanied by Minister He himself on this trip.
This is taking it too seriously.
In response to his conversation, He Qing smiled and said, "Zhangjia Village is relatively close to Changzhi City. The commune there is relatively well developed. You might be surprised if you go there."
She added that currently, 20% of Su Yan's communes are well developed, 60% are averagely developed, and 20% are not well developed.
Zhangjiacun Commune belongs to the top 20%.
She continued, "Mr. Han, your book, The Peasants' Rise, is very well written and has given us a lot of inspiration. Secretary Mu said that the rise of Zhangjia Village alone is not enough. Every city should have such a record of the rise, showing the whole Suyan's rise to the world's people."
"Secretary Mu..."
Han Ming's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to that exciting revolutionary era. As the core figure of this great change, Mu Yuan's name had long been famous throughout the world.
He seemed to understand something and asked He Qing, the Minister of Culture, to accompany him to Zhangjia Village. This might be what Secretary Mu meant.
However, he didn't know what he was trying to do.
...
After leaving the airport, the scene that greeted him made Han Ming feel a little dazed for a moment.
There are rows of trees on both sides of the road, and the three- or four-story buildings lined up on the street are spotlessly painted, exuding a modern atmosphere.
He stopped and looked around carefully, but there was no trace of the past anymore.
In his memory, Changzhi was still a dilapidated county town, with old city walls winding around the entire town, and mottled bricks, like the traces of time imprinted on the earth. But now, the majestic city walls that symbolized the old city seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Han Ming was a little dazed.
"This is Changzhi?"
The Changzhi he was familiar with was a dilapidated county town, a government office in disrepair, crowded families, deserted temples, weeds everywhere and a dilapidated state. But now, it has become a prosperous and crowded city with wide roads, modern buildings and public facilities like those of a typical city like the capital.
“Changzhi has developed well.”
He Qing mentioned a few numbers, including the number of factories, the number of workers, the gross industrial and agricultural output value, and population growth.
These figures suddenly made Han Ming understand something.
To Western visitors, Su Yan's capital still seemed backward and rural, and the scene before him was one of the reasons: Su Yan's wealth was not only injected into the few large cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to promote their extraordinary and mushrooming development, but was more or less distributed throughout the country, so that counties and regions could also boast that they had the municipal equipment and service facilities that the central cities were proud of.
It is obvious that the factors that slowed down the development of big cities like the capital are the reasons why cities like Changzhi are developing so fast.
Han Ming took a deep breath and looked at the strange yet familiar city in front of him, feeling a mixture of emotions.
“This is real socialism.”
...
...
PS:
No more busy, continue.
Dark Forest: Liberating the Three Bodies: Chapter 212: The industrialized behemoth orders the three mountains and five peaks to clear the way!
"I want to walk there." Han Ming made this request with a smile on his face but a firm tone.
The urban area of Changzhi is 15 kilometers away from Zhangjia Village, and it takes about three or four hours to walk.
Han Ming wanted to walk slowly on the rural roads of Shanxi Province, see the familiar scenery, listen to the familiar sounds, and smell the familiar smells, so that he could prepare to return to Zhangjia Village again.
This request caught the local leaders in charge of the reception off guard, and their expressions froze instantly.
"Mr. Han, the road leading to Zhangjia Village is no longer the dirt path it used to be. It has been turned into an asphalt road with busy traffic. Walking on it is not only dangerous, but also boring." A leader tried to persuade him rationally.
Another leader added: "It's a full thirty miles. You must be exhausted by the time you get to Zhangjia Village. In addition, the weather is scorching hot. You will be hungry and thirsty after walking such a long distance. Your body will not be able to bear it. Why don't we just take a car? It will save time and effort, and we can get there happily."
There seemed to be concern and hidden worry in their voices, but Han Ming just smiled gently and seemed unmoved.
He looked back at the mountains in the distance. The sun shone through the clouds and the vast countryside sparkled with memories in his eyes. Every leaf and every wisp of wind seemed to be calling him, as if waiting for him to step on this land in person and relive the past.
"Thank you for your kindness," he said softly, "but this time I really want to walk back to that village in the simplest way possible."
The leaders looked at each other, not knowing how to continue persuading. They looked at He Qing, waiting for the opinion of this big leader.
Walking...it must be exhausting, they definitely can't handle it.
The most important thing is, it’s okay if they can’t handle it, but nothing can happen to this big leader.
"Listen to Mr. Han and walk."
He Qing made the decision.
