The meeting lasted for two and a half days, and 106 representatives from the 53 working groups attended the meeting spoke one after another and talked about what they knew. Zhao Zhenzhong listened to the speeches of all the representatives from beginning to end, inquired about some important situations from time to time, and made records.

At this meeting, Zhao Zhenzhong learned that the working group had rescued 614 villages more than half a month ago and organized more than 95,700 people. However, in the past half month, due to the interference and obstruction of landlords, bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry, only worked and rescued in 13 villages, and organized more than 2,500 people.

After two days of communication with everyone, Zhao Zhen’s center has formed a relatively complete plan. On the morning of December 31, Zhao Zhenzhong summarized the rural work since October and proposed policies to be implemented in the future, pointing out the direction for the relevant work of the rural working group.

"From October to less than three months now, 53 working groups have carried out work on 627 villages in our activity area, rescued and initially organized more than 98,200 people. This achievement is still very impressive and must be fully affirmed."

"Of course, judging from the situation reports of each working group, we have had many problems in the past three months of work. I think there are mainly several aspects: First, the lack of strength of the working group, which is an objective problem. Since mid-to-late November, we have transferred the existing main forces of each company to the Western Front to perform tasks. In addition, the forces that were originally drawn from each company were trained to train new people, leaving only about 30 people at each company station. This force is very difficult to defend the garrison, so we are unable to support the working group in the vast rural areas in the activity area, making the reactionary arrogance of those landlords and gentry returning home become more and more arrogant."

"Secondly, we are not expected to have enough negative impacts on the landlords and gentry among the people. This is a subjective problem. At the end of September and early October, many bandits concentrated north to rob grain at Shiqiao, causing many landlords and gentry to flee one after another. The very few landlords and gentry remaining in the activity area were basically affected by bandits. These situations made us relaxed in our ideological understanding, and ignored the problem of landlords and gentry returning home before the New Year, which made our rural work basically limited to pauses in the past 20 days."

"Third, we have problems in communication with each other. Now, basically, the communication between working groups near the stations of each company is pretty good, but there are still problems in the communication between companies in different regions and between working groups in different regions. When we cleared out the large and small bandits near the stations of each company in early October, we got some useful confessions through interrogation of bandits left-behind nests. At that time, after each company sorted out the confessions and reported them to me, it only circulated them at the heads of each company and did not inform them further. Then each company basically pulled out the main force, so it was unable to pay attention to these issues."

"I remember that Du Yishanlian, who was responsible for cleaning up Yin Laihao's nest at that time, had received news from several prisoners' accountants that Yin Laihao was rampant nearby and colluded with some landlords and bullies. If the relevant situation could be reported to the working groups in advance and we could make relevant arrangements in advance, at least the situation of the working group will be much better now."

When Du Yishan Lian was clearing out Yin Lai's lair, he found that there were several students with glasses in the accounting room. After asking, he found out that these people were from Anqiu County and were originally studying in Jinan. During the winter vacation at the beginning of last year, they took the train home to celebrate the New Year. However, after getting off at Huangqibao Station, they were kidnapped by several bandits. Some students had a good family background and paid the ransom extorted by the bandits and were let go. However, the remaining few were taken back to their nests by bandits to work as the accounting room and helped the bandits handle some affairs.

It was from the mouths of these students' accounting rooms that Du Yishan learned about some of the situations of the landlords, bullies and local tyrants who colluded with Yin Laihao and Wang as evil men. After getting the relevant situation, Du Yishan also gave the students' accounting rooms some money and sent them out of the bandits' den.

"There are my negligence issues, and there are also my negligence issues among your company leaders. In the future, we must further strengthen relevant work to avoid similar problems from happening again."

Du Yishan, Liu Jifeng, Jiang Yishan and others nodded solemnly to agree.

"In addition to the three problems mentioned above, we have another biggest problem. That is, in our previous work, we did not crack down or weaken the power of landlords and squires, and strengthen the power of the poor people. In particular, we did not crack down, weaken the power of landlords and bullies who were in blood debt, and strengthen the power of those who were living in distress and living in difficulties. This is the biggest lack of our previous work."

"For these four problems that arise in our rural work some time ago, we must find ways to improve them in our future work."

"At present, the main forces of each company have returned to their respective garrisons and have enough strength to carry out actions against those landlords, bullies and local tyrants who are in debt."

"Through this meeting, we have already gained a sufficient understanding of the harm of reactionary landlords and gentry. At the same time, we must strengthen the situation reporting between companies. In the future, any notification of the construction of the company's resident and rural work should be reported to me at the same time. Let's start with the news obtained by each company when clearing out bandits before, so that the members of the working group can be targeted in their future work. Each company can also follow the map nearby and work together with the working group to clear out the landlords and bullies who are burdened with blood debts and collude with bandits to harm the village."

"Political, our strength is still very insufficient. It is not advisable to spread too much at present to avoid increasing the resistance to our related work. Only show the people that we are the people's guards, protect the interests of the general public, and attack those landlords, bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry. At the same time, relevant organizations are initially established in each village to allow young and middle-aged people who are familiar with the situation, have prestige, obey our leaders, and are consistent with us to participate in the village affairs management."

"Economic, after suppressing landlords, bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry, their property is confiscated. Except for retaining certain land and daily necessities for their families according to the standards of ordinary people, the rest must be distributed according to the standards we set. Generally speaking, arable land will be distributed to households according to the population, mainly to farmers who have no land or have little land. At the same time, these allocated arable land must be limited, and farmers can sublease it, but not buy or sell it. In addition, each village should retain about one-third of the arable land as the adjustment land for the village collective, and the working group will guide the village organizations established in each village to master and manage it. As for the specific standards, they will be sent to everyone after the meeting."

"In summary, our policy in the future is to rely on the poor people, unite the people of moderate living standards, retain rich peasants, and eliminate landlord bullies and reactionary squire."

"Through the implementation of our policies, we will effectively enhance the interests of the poor, give them hope to survive, and touch their long-term suppression and numb nerves. Then, we will protect the benefits they have obtained through certain methods, make them realize our strength, and mobilize them, organize them, and carry out various constructions."

"However, relying on the people does not mean blindly obeying what the people say without discernment, nor does it allow each company to ask for various materials from the people, nor does it mean to obey the people's leadership! We must ensure our leadership and guidance on all work!"

"We cannot blindly oppose and suppress landlords and gentry. We must indeed find out that they are in blood debts, collude with bandits or have evil deeds to carry out actions. Eliminating landlords and reactionary gentry does not aim to physically eliminate them, but to eliminate the economic foundation on which they rely on in the countryside. We must distribute the suppressed landlords and bullies, and the families of local tyrants and evil gentry to use land to ensure that they can live on their own labor."

"When encountering various situations at work, we must raise questions in a targeted manner, then investigate the various situations clearly, and solve the problems in a targeted manner on this basis. We cannot imagine without any basis, and we cannot arbitrarily slap our heads in dealing with various situations and deal with various problems based on the staff's personal likes and dislikes."

"We must resolutely eliminate the indiscriminate and simple and rough one-size-fits-all approach in rural work, especially in land adjustment; we must understand the process of the problem based on full investigation and research, and then deal with it accordingly. Those small and medium-sized landlords who do not have blood debts, do not have much evil deeds, rely mainly on their own family work, and only hire people to help during the busy farming season, even if there is more land than others, they cannot be simply eliminated."

"After returning from the company leaders and working group representatives, we must rectify the problems existing in our previous work. We will carry out the next stage of work based on the policies and guidelines we summarized in this meeting. First, clean up the landlords and bullies and reactionary gentry in the 627 villages that have been organized, consolidate the existing achievements before expanding outward."

"There is still one and a half months before the Spring Festival. During this period, the tasks are very heavy. Each department must make arrangements in all aspects after returning. On the one hand, each company must maintain its training level without declining; on the other hand, it must clear out the landlords, bullies, local tyrants and bad gentry in the existing 627 villages, and consolidate the existing work results; on the other hand, it must develop outward and provide assistance to the remaining half of the villages and people in the activity area, and make sure that the poor people will not die of cold and starvation due to lack of food and clothing. At the same time, we must go deep into the Yimeng Mountains outside our activity area as much as possible to take in and rescue the orphans."

"It is said that we are sympathetic. Most of us are orphans. It is natural to try our best to save those teenagers with the same fate as us when we have the ability. Help them, educate them, and change their original bad habits."

"In addition, after the Spring Festival, five rural work verification teams will be formed and they will go to the villages near the company's station to verify the progress of the work, so as to further help each working group discover and solve the problems."

"We must strive to mobilize and organize the people in all villages in the activity area before next spring plowing, do a good job in farmland water conservancy construction and spring plowing production, and turn the activity area into a control area. By next autumn, we must strive to double the control area outward! Initially, the vast areas in southern Linqu, western Yishui, northern Mengyin, Laiwu and eastern Xintai will be controlled in our hands."

"The goal is clear and the task is arduous. But I believe that as our strength continues to expand and our unremitting efforts, this goal is achievable."

In order to mobilize and organize the people in the activity area, change the activity area into a control area, and at the same time develop and strengthen his own strength, Zhao Zhenzhong proposed a series of measures at this meeting. Although he did not clearly put forward the concept of agrarian revolution, he improved the practice of causing a huge storm in history and promoted it in the rural areas of the Yimeng Mountains in advance. With the implementation of this practice, a new change will surely be launched in the Yimeng Mountains, and it also indicates that the era of vigorous change is coming.
