    It's ten o'clock in the morning.

    At the same time that the Xuzhou Special Court rang the bell, in an ordinary garden house next to Nanjing Confucius Temple, Yang Qiu took the coffee from Lu Bicheng and glanced sideways at the grandfather clock: "Should start  Yes, do you have any cigarettes?"

    "Okay, what are you smoking?" Lu Bicheng rolled her eyes at him, but still obediently took out a pack from the bedside table.  After the photos of the two visiting the United States were published in the newspaper, she bought this house and traveled between Shanghai and Nanjing.  Because the three women tacitly didn't want to lift this layer of gauze, Yang Qiu would come here to stay for a while.

    Lu Bicheng took out his cigarette, picked up a match and lit it for him, then comforted him: "Isn't it all arranged? Don't worry about it."

    Yang Qiu rarely talked to Miao Luo about official matters, and never even mentioned it in front of Ruiyao, but in front of Lu Bicheng, he could not control his thoughts. He looked at the woman sitting in front of him with a faint smile on her lips and said, "I don't  Worrying about the court, I have asked Guofu and Dong Yongwei to remind them that as long as they point the finger at the unconstitutionality of the deed, as long as they present evidence, this lawsuit will be won! Lan Qing (Lu Bicheng's nickname), do you know? In fact, from the beginning  In the end, these are all fake and were planned by me because I was afraid of them!"

    Lu Bicheng's hand shook, and the match he was about to light his cigarette went out instantly.  She likes to listen to Yang Qiu talk, and every time he talks about his heart, she will always find another more real man.  She loved this man so much that even if she didn't like politics, she would never interrupt.  But this time she was a little shocked, because he had never heard of these words, and had never even thought about a man who had an army of millions in his hands, defeated Japan and spread across Europe, and actually controlled the country. He could take the final step just by thinking.  Will be afraid!

    Yang Qiu squeezed the coffee cup so tightly that veins were exposed on the back of his hand. His voice was as low as a wild beast that had never had a partner and was walking alone in the wilderness: "Really! Everyone thought this time was for immigration. For  Land distribution rights, but in fact none of them! The northeast and northwest can accommodate hundreds of millions of people, and there is enough land to dilute the population. What I really want to deal with is them! Their gentry and clan system are like vampires  They are entrenched in the country, and the bureaucrats in the richest areas in the southeast can be said to be their people! Yes. They have trained many talents for the country for thousands of years. They are the first group of people to come into contact with industry and commerce. They are very important in cultural inheritance, education and  The country¡¯s status in progress is indelible But this country has a population of 40 million! 40 million people who are struggling at the bottom, 40 million people who are treated unfairly! I can¡¯t save them,  Even if I use all the strength of the country to save them, I can't save them! It's impossible for me to use all the strength of the country to save them. Maybe you don't believe it, even if they win this time, they are still a group of people who will be exploited! It's just that the people who exploit them have changed to  Changed it to a country! Because we are not Britain and France, which have so many colonies. We are not the United States, which has so much land that no one can fill a thousand acres! We can learn from Germany, but we do not have the cultural and industrial heritage of Germany.  But we are a country with a vast territory and a population of 40 millionso we are destined to embark on the path of becoming a great country!

    But this road is too difficult.

    The country is poor, the literacy rate is low, and the ideas of small farmers have been passed down for thousands of years.  Industrialization and urbanization both require money!  They can only be saved bit by bit from the farmers' blood, sweat and profits.  To put it bluntly, they rely on them to dig out grain bit by bit with hoes and raise silkworms, chickens, ducks, fish and pigs.  Transforming these commodities into money can fund reforms.  For a country like ours with extremely uneven population and resources, industrialization requires astronomical investment.  Just like at Yumen, it costs at least 200,000 to drill the well.  If you drill down, you may not even be able to see the water!  It takes an average of three drills to drill an oil well!  Therefore, it is difficult to support workers with work in the short term, and we can only continue to supplement agriculture.  Their burden is already huge, but they have to face another exploitation by the gentry and clans!  Regardless of how many times finance and taxation has increased, or how prosperous industry and commerce is, how many people in the local area really listen to us?  Sometimes a decree from the central government is not as effective as a word from the clan head!  If we want to carry out social reforms, we must first ensure the smooth flow of top-down government orders.  Look at how many reform decrees the central government has issued, but how are local governments doing?  Rent and interest reductions have been implemented, and many more variable moves have been added.  The central government requested to streamline officials, but one county in northern Jiangsu had more officials than before the Qing Dynasty!  We must build a judicial system based on the law.  But those local families still set up private courts and take human life seriously!  These clans and gentry dominate the local area and have blocked the road to reform!

    This clan is an old system that must be broken!  But who can break them?  National Society?  army?  None of them, they are a group of people they could not imagine, they are the mud-legged people in their eyes, bitter haha.  I want them to stand up.  The farmers' union united them to fight.  But who knows, in fact, I am just using them!  Lan Qing I'm really afraid that if I use the Farmers' Association to smash the clan, who can guarantee that the Farmers' Association won't smash us people to pieces in the future?  my faceBefore, there were only two choices every time, and then walking on a dark single-plank bridge would either bring light or ruin the future of this country, so I was afraid  "Yang Qiu sat down slowly, his eyes a little dull. He suddenly thought of the confrontation with Sun Wu, and thought that he was forced by Sun Wu to leave Wuchang and embark on the path of calculation and use today. Who knows?  , in fact, what he wanted most in his heart was to be the simplest soldier? At this moment, he wished that there was another time traveler standing in front of him, so that the two of them could discuss the future together and talk about what was on their mind.

    Lu Bicheng leaned against her side quietly like a beautiful sculpture. Yang Qiu did not continue to speak, his eyes fell on the report sent by Fang Rui.  He suddenly wanted to meet Cheng Cheng, whom he had only heard of by name. This ordinary young man from the Youth League must be very famous, right?  But he didn't know how dangerous it would be after that flash of splendor.

    The court session in Xuzhou began calmly. After a brief introduction, both parties presented their respective evidence.  Huang Yuansheng's face was solemn and solemn. When the most important stage of speeches was reached, Cheng Cheng, whose eyes were destined to exude the most dazzling light, stood up: "Your Honor, I want to say a few words."

    Huang Yuansheng looked at the jury and nodded.

    Cheng Cheng is short, less than 1.6 meters tall, standing on the stage like a child.  This young man who was supposed to have a bright future, but voluntarily came to teach in a weak area and spent nearly half of his income to support students stood in the center. He had a YMCA badge on the left chest of his ordinary suit. This may be  It¡¯s the most impressive thing, but it¡¯s such a young man.  Bringing the atmosphere to the climax: "Dear judge, jury, and tens of thousands of my compatriots and brothers and sisters in the audience. Today is an important day, and many people don't even understand its meaning, so let me  Tell everyone." He took out an ordinary long-term employment contract.  Holding it high: "This is a personal contract. I believe many people recognize it and know it, and have even signed it themselves! Then let me tell you what kind of thing this is. It is   Imprison half of the 400 million people, let you and your fathers work from sunrise to sunset, and work hard to open the pot, but there is always water and thin porridge. Because it  Millions of children are deprived of nutrition. Deprived of education, short and thin like me. Because of it Our country, which creates the most exquisite porcelain and silk in the world, is considered a second-class citizen. Because of it  China, which was the first to create commercial civilization, was handcuffed by its land! Because it"

    It was so quiet in the temporary court that even the breath was temporarily held.  Everyone was stunned by the sound.  Maybe some people don't understand the truth, maybe some people still can't understand the relationship between physical deeds and the country, but everyone is surprised that this little young man has such a loud voice and such a broad mind.  Wang Zhaoming is sitting below. In fact, he is not here to support anyone today. He just wants to get a feel for the details of this farmers' association.  He looked to see if there was any possibility of cooperation, but when he heard Cheng Cheng's passionate words, he felt like he was seeing that person.  The figure who wants to surpass but always suppresses the Democratic Party like a towering mountain.

    Yang Du, who was sitting diagonally behind, looked at him with a playful smile on his face.  These people really think that Yang Qiu is going to carry out some kind of land reform and want to take advantage of it, but they don't know that their eyes have already surpassed you too much. They want to push open the door of a great country!  Cheng Cheng became the center of attention in an instant. Countless flashlights were pointed at him, countless reporters recorded his every word as fast as possible, and the translators pricked up their ears and did not dare to show any slightness.  He brushed his hair slightly, arranged it neatly, and turned around like a devout believer.  Bow to the jury and prosecutor, and end with resounding words.

    "Perhaps no one knows that this contract is actually completely invalid! Because it violates Violates the Constitution of our Republic of China, violates the protection of human rights and prohibits any laws that restrict personal freedom. So! I implore you  The prosecutor and the jury judge that all such contracts in China are invalid! The people holding such contracts in China are judged guilty! The compatriots who are imprisoned in China are all free! "

    Shock!  Shock!  Still shocked!

    No one can describe the words they heard, and many people have even completely lost consciousness.  There is only one sentence echoing in my mind The contract is invalid, I am free, I am free!  "Haha" The first sound was a cry-like laughter, rough and hoarse, just like every ordinary farmer whose body has been traumatized by hard work. The smile is so simple and the voice is  So simple.

    There was silence all around, and every pair of eyes was focused on Huang Yuansheng and the jury.  They temporarily left the meeting to discuss internally according to procedures.  This process takes ten minutes, and these ten minutes are probably the ten minutes that China is most concerned about.  Ten minutes later they came out, the gavel banged hard, and all the hearts were hanging with the gavel.  "The verdict is now pronounced. The jury unanimously ruled thatthe plaintiff, the Northern Jiangsu Farmers' Association, sued 7,331 defendants for violating the constitution."Stand!  RulingAll restrictive contracts are invalid!  RulingThe defendant must immediately terminate the contract and restore the freedom of the plaintiff and all the long-term workers, tenant farmers, maids, slaves, etc. in northern Jiangsu!  "

    "We won! We won!"

    "I am free, haha I can immigrate! I want to have my own farm!"

    "Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Peasants' Association"

    When the verdict was announced, countless long-term workers, farmers and even prostituted maids who were waiting for the news suddenly jumped up. They laughed, shouted and vented their inner excitement, and the Northern Jiangsu Farmers Association also  As a result, it gained support from farmers across northern Jiangsu overnight.

    "We won. Mr. Cheng, we won" Hao Chongwen jumped up like a child. His nervousness and uneasiness completely disappeared at this moment. Hundreds of farmers surrounded Cheng Cheng.  .  On the opposite side of them were a pair of disappointed, unwilling, helpless and even angry eyes.

    In the next few days, newspapers were all about the young man named Cheng Cheng, and they were all about the heroic and resounding words that the whole of China would remember: "It is judged that all the imprisoned compatriots in China are free!"  With the promotion and funding of certain people and the national society, and with the public opinion and wildly spreading news like a prairie fire, the new organization of the Peasants' Association grew rapidly and spread.  Peasant unions began to appear in every province in northern Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu, Anhui, etc.

    Facing this prairie fire, no one is willing to give up the benefits that have become natural.  After waves of long-term workers and tenants who originally served him and worked hard to farm their fields immigrated to the northeast and northwest, this restlessness and hatred can no longer be suppressed.

    Cheng Cheng was riding as usual, and the air in Xuzhou now contained the familiar enthusiasm and effort.  He is very proud because he has finally done what every YMCA member wants to do, which is to use actions to change the destiny of the country and the people.  Of course, there are more worries. For example, while teaching, they also have to teach Hao Chongwen and others how to manage the farmers' association. After all, this is the farmers' own organization, and the chairman also hopes that they will serve the farmers more simply.

    "Teacher Cheng, we are here to buy paper again today!" At the door of the small shop, Boss Yang warmly entertained Cheng Cheng and prepared to put two thick bundles of jute paper on the carriage. He had already made up his mind to buy paper again from today on.  No more money.  But at this moment, a figure suddenly ran past him and knocked him to the ground. The wrapped jute paper was scattered on the ground.  "You bastard, you're looking for death" The boss raised his head, and his expression suddenly froze in the middle of the curse. He saw seven or eight thugs suddenly surrounding him from all directions. They were wearing thick black scarves and letting people know.  He couldn't see his face clearly, and then one bullet after another crazily hit the chest of his most respected teacher Cheng Cheng.

    Blood instantly covered the long street, and the whole city was shocked by the gunfire
