Most villages in Hungary did not have their own markets. People usually went to the town on Sundays to buy goods. Occasionally, some traveling merchants passed by the market or the village in their vehicles, which always brought great surprise and joy to the people.
Since the establishment of the Republic, traveling merchants had become a public unit. In a small town in the west, the traveling merchants hung recruitment posters on their cars. On the left was a beautiful rural and urban landscape, in the center was the Hungarian Red Army of men and women, and on the right was the short and ugly Russia and Romania army.
At this time, the selection process was over. The recruits were all dressed in red, and the leaders of the town made a speech, "The Red Army is the people's army, and the Red Army's glorious duty is to protect the country." After the speech, the soldiers went on stage to say a few words. These young men and women had never been on a high platform to speak. As soon as they stood on the stage, they immediately blushed and were tongue-tied. Even those who could speak a few words were stammering.
Fortunately, the recruitment office was used to this situation. After this process, it was time for questions and answers and oaths.
"Are you volunteering to join the army?" "Are you willing to protect your parents, your fellow villagers, and your country?" "Do you know that joining the army is to protect the country, so you have to face danger?"
These questions that could be understood by the villagers were answered one by one by the recruitment staff and the young volunteers. After getting a clear answer, the army staff began to lead the young people to publicly swear an oath.
After the oath, the recruits took their luggage and boarded the truck that came to pick them up. Under the gaze of the crowd, they left their hometown and embarked on the road to the army.
After the car drove away, the crowd was still talking.
"The mayor's third son also joined the army. Two sons are not enough, so he won't let go of this spot."
"Our village secretary's brother also joined."
"The school teacher's daughter also joined the army. That girl is only 16 years old. She doesn't get married and runs around with a group of men. What is this? "
…
All kinds of comments were aimed at famous local figures, and some people were not happy after hearing it. Someone said sarcastically, "If you envy them, let your family join the army. The people who join the army don't get their land back, and the villagers have to help others farm. These years, the government has been doing what it says! "
Hearing this, the group of people who seemed to be indignant shut their mouths. All the families in the town and the surrounding villages were notified, hoping that they could mobilize their family members of suitable age to join the army. Most families did not go. Only a small number of families went.
"That kind of farming is simple farming, and the children can do more than that if they stay at home. Let them fight for the country, what if something happens? "Someone replied loudly with negative energy, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Hey! Old Wu Guo, your family's land was given to you by the government to protect the country. What's there to be dissatisfied about? "Someone at the side shouted mischievously.
Being provoked like this, Old Wu Guo became even more spirited, he straightened his neck and shouted: "That's only land, I'm collecting grain. No matter what, they won't sell the land to me. If I die, the land will belong to the country. Why should I care? "
The faces of the cadres in the town changed, because among them there were a few comrades from above, among them were comrades from China. Someone was about to go and scold the backward, but saw a young girl in her late teens walk over quickly. She came to Old Wu Guo's side and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, my father said it casually, why do you take it seriously? Everyone is so busy, hurry up and do what you have to do! "
"This is?" The comrade from above found it interesting.
"Sigh …, this is the daughter of that backward, a probationary party member. If she didn't have such a father, she would have joined the party long ago. "The local comrade sighed.
The comrade from above completely understood, who would dare to introduce such a comrade. If the girl's father did something even more outrageous, and the girl stood on the side of family, the person who introduced her would have to bear the responsibility.
Someone came out to stop them, but the young people who joined the army had already left, and the crowd dispersed. The comrades arrived at the town party committee and began to talk about work.
"We've embarrassed ourselves in front of the comrades from China," the comrade from the town said with embarrassment.
"It's not just Hungary. I've seen the information. When the land reform just ended, our Min dynasty also experienced a similar situation." The comrades from the Min dynasty were very relaxed.
"Oh?" The Hungarian comrades were very surprised. They had thought that a great country like the Min dynasty would not make mistakes.
The comrades from the Min dynasty felt a wave of emotion in their hearts. They all came here with a strong desire to gain experience. But even if it was to gain experience, the Restoration Party would not do it half-heartedly. In the training for everyone, they talked about what the Min dynasty had experienced in the early days of the revolution, and sorted out the characteristics of social change. When the comrades who supported the Hungarian revolution arrived in Hungary, they discovered that there was nothing new under the sun. Social progress was not pulled from dry land, it had to be done step by step.
After combining theory with practice, the comrades from the Min dynasty had a deeper understanding of some of the "clichés" in the Restoration Party, and even felt that revolution was really a science. With the change in their views, the comrades from the Min dynasty felt that they had become much more broad-minded. He said frankly, "Hungarian society is more advanced than our Min dynasty in 1855. At least now Hungary has the concept of industrialization, and the farmers intuitively understand that the products produced are for trade. With such a foundation, what we need to do is to adhere to the foundation of state ownership of land, popularize compulsory education, let the people master more production technology, and provide job opportunities. Believe me, it won't be long before there will be a trend of urbanization. Those young people who are educated will go to the city to seek employment opportunities. In our second five-year plan, the goal is to strengthen compulsory education. "
The comrades at the grassroots level could barely understand this. Hungary began its first five-year plan in 1901. The content of the five-year plan was to complete the land reform in Hungary, strengthen the party building, improve the central government, and establish grassroots political power. Because they had never done this kind of work that involved the whole country, the comrades at the grassroots level often held meetings to learn and work. It was not easy to get the farmers to follow. Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Rubber tires, new frame cars, especially trucks and tractors, entered the countryside. The changes in the Hungarian countryside could be described as rapid.
"What will the future look like?" The comrades all stared at the comrade from the Min dynasty.
"According to the law, we know that productivity will develop rapidly. But we don't know how it will develop, "the comrade from the Min dynasty said hurriedly. Seeing that the people around him seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this, the comrade from the Minchao continued to speak according to the rhetoric trained by the organization. "A few years ago, other than the master, who would have thought that if everyone wanted to eat a chicken, they could eat it as they pleased. If they wanted to eat meat, they could go to the butcher's shop to buy it. At most, we know that life will be better, but we don't know how good it will be. So we don't think about it in vain. With the socialist system, we will definitely have a better life if we do our work well! "
In the face of such a vague statement, a comrade immediately retorted, "Shouldn't the government tell the people where to go in the future?"
In the face of such doubts, the comrade from the Min dynasty replied bluntly, "The current problem of the people is not this. The current problem of the people is when to solve poverty."
"Poverty?" The comrades at the local level were very surprised. In the past few years, everyone's life had been very good. They could eat their fill, wear warm clothes, and their children could go to school. As the comrade from China said just now, the days when they could eat meat if they wanted to, belonged to the old men in the past. In such a good situation, it was really puzzling to suddenly mention the word 'poverty'. It was even disgusting.
Fortunately, the comrade from the Min dynasty did not mean to speak in riddles. He explained, "Now the land in the hands of the people belongs to the state. They only have the right to use it, but no ownership. They don't have the right to resell or rent it. If it was the days when they could not eat their fill and wear warm clothes, it would be good to have land to farm. But now, everyone has to invest a lot of labor on this land to get income. I want to ask, do you have anything in your hands that can be sold for money? "
This time, the conference room was silent. Everyone frowned and began to look for death. After a while, the secretary of the town's party committee shook his head. "If that's the case, we really don't have anything valuable that can be taken out. If there is anything valuable, it is only a few trucks and tractors in our town, and the pigs we raise. But we still have to be able to sell them. "
Everyone faced the same problem, so they all gritted their teeth. The mayor sighed a few times before saying, "I … we are still poor."
"No, no, don't say that. It should be said that we have finally been promoted to the point of being poor. "The comrade from the Min dynasty laughed. This was a statement put forward during the Party training. When the comrade from the Min dynasty first heard it, he thought it was ridiculous. It was not until he sat with the people that he found it to be the truth.
This time, the comrades in the town were not dissatisfied. They admitted this fact. The mayor said with a smile, "Indeed, we used to be poor people who couldn't even live. Now we are finally poor people who can live."
"What's next?" The secretary of the town's party committee took over.
"Next, we have to work hard to become rich. I think you have all read the Communist Manifesto. Comrade Marx said in it that we Communists have never opposed people having their own private property. We oppose the bourgeoisie using capital to exploit people. Since we have established the socialist system, we have to develop the productive forces and improve our ability to work so that we can accumulate wealth and become rich from the poor. "Speaking of this, the comrade from the Min dynasty felt quite excited. He used to think that these were all conventional words used by the higher-ups to preach. But after staying in Hungary for a few days, he came back to see the initial stage of the revolution from a more advanced point of view. He even felt that he understood the revolution.
The secretary of the party committee did not seem to understand the deeper meaning behind these words, so the secretary said with a smile, "Maybe then Old Wu Guo won't say so many strange things."
