The special service can make those forty-one Su family veterans take on more responsibilities and make a guest appearance as a liver emperor.
Farmers’ associations should always have strong institutions, be able to manage things and be able to take orders from Su Yonglin’s victory army headquarters to organize villagers to handle affairs. It’s no good for a hundred farmers’ associations in the village to talk regardless of their affairs.
Su Yonglin made a charter for the operation of the peasant association after careful consideration.
He stipulated what the peasant association should do and what power it had.
In order for the peasant associations to keep their word, administrative, judicial and armed control must be given to them.
This place is full of areas controlled by landlords and squires. If you want to make the new countryside born, you must be strong, able to lead and dare to fight.
Su Yonglin lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the government structure of the Southern Song Dynasty generally came to the county, but the county officials were still in control, and they still had absolute power over all the people in the county, not weakness.
Of course, they are polite to the big landlords and gentry families to discuss hello, me and everyone.
However, Su Yonglin also noticed that it is mandatory for the weak farmers like yeomen and the rich peasants and small landlords who can’t affect the last-class squire of the county government to still keep his word.
The petty officials in the county are because some armed men go to the village from time to time to find ordinary farmers, rich peasants and small landlords, and extortion is equivalent to collecting protection and earning extra money, which will not be counted as normal taxes.
Of course, you don’t give it
But if you don’t give it to me, you’ll have to put on some hard shoes.
In this acre of land, the local strongman Zhao Guanjia doesn’t speak like these bullies, so that you can work hard again and accumulate wealth again, and you will always be a fat sheep in the eyes of these bullies, and all kinds of strange reasons will kill you anytime and anywhere.
Unless you have an adventure or become a scholar and gain fame, you will never get ahead. You will be blackmailed to death, and you will learn from the bone and do your best.
Su Yonglin, a businessman without Sun Yuanqing’s protection, is also a piece of fat in the mouth of the local government in Dinghai County. You can’t keep anything in your purse or jar.
Here, farmers in ordinary rural areas have lost or have no political benefits.
Don’t say that political interests can’t even protect a person’s most basic personal interests. The county government can extort and extort money, but it is to destroy the peasants in the flesh and resist.
So Su Yonglin feels that he should give administrative power to the peasant associations, both in the eyes and in the future.
Farmers’ associations must ensure that county-level governments will not be disabled and have their own functions.
In this way, we will not be bullied and blackmailed by county officials’ groups, and the county government should discuss everything with the peasant associations, and we should not arbitrarily force orders to harm the interests of farmers.
In order to ensure such administrative power, the peasant association should also have certain judicial power
Judicial power can ensure that farmers’ associations have a good grasp of rural areas, and they can try plots to destroy farmers’ associations at any time during wartime to prevent them from engaging in subversive plots.
In order to ensure the administrative power and judicial power, the implementation of armed forces is the cornerstone.
Farmers’ self-defense forces must be established and trained and armed to a certain extent, so that farmers’ associations can attack plots and resist illegal county officials.
The Jin people control the serf village area, and the structure of these three farmers’ associations is complete and operational.
While he is still controlled by the landlords and squires, the farmers’ association in the area still has one more thing to do-overthrow the private clan magic of the landlords and squires.
This was common in the Southern Song Dynasty and parts of the Jin State, but not in the 41 villages ruled by Su Yonglin.
Besides burning and looting fish and people, the Golden Man is not completely incompetent.
Less reduced Su Yonglin’s rebellion
Su Yonglin will be very happy after realizing this, and the peasant association can also be very happy.
Farmers’ associations are truly grass-roots political organizations after they have mastered administrative justice and armed forces.
They can count the mouth of the whole village and the mu of land, manage and deal with the daily disputes of the villagers, punish crimes, protect the interests of farmers and give Su Yonglin money, food and reserve soldiers.
Of course, this is easier said than done.
Su Yonglin gave power to the peasant association, but there were not so many qualified farmers in the peasant association who could become cadres of the peasant association to exercise these powers.
If the organization is very complicated, if Su Yonglin sends 41 vice presidents and instructors of the peasant self-defense forces, the peasant association foundation will be a framework.
This is not in line with Su Yonglin’s idea.
He doesn’t want the people he sent to become the actual masters, which is not good.
So Su Yonglin decided to make a temporary simplification.
After thinking about it, he decided to take out the judiciary alone and set up three chapters in imitation of Liu Bang’s constitution-the murderer will pay for the injury and the thief will be punished.
The control of regional justice by peasant associations simplifies these three points.
And these three points are simple and intuitive, covering most types of judicial cases of the people, even illiterate people can execute them.
In this way, others in the farmers’ association will be less responsible for a judiciary to maintain daily public order, and Su Yonglin will not be too heavy in sending commissioners.
