After Wang Lezhi's order was issued, the gentry and local gentry in Zhejiang also realized that the previous work was in vain. It seemed that it would be difficult to pull Wang Lezhi to Long, so he could only use the last move, which was to create public opinion. The gentry and local genius organized celebrities and celebrities in Zhejiang to petition the provincial government and wrote articles, claiming that "the landlords' land was obtained by hard work," "the landlords feed farmers", "the landlords and tenants depend on each other and depend on each other", "the landlords' contribution to society" and so on, and even people who have received foreign education have moved out the famous discussion of "inviolation of private property", and at the same time exaggerated the attack on landlords during the land reform process. Some people slandered that landlords were an open plunder, hoping that through these propaganda, some public opinion pressure would be created to force the East China government to take back their sincerity and not carry out land reform in Zhejiang.

Wang Lezhi did not directly refuse these people who came to petition, but asked the petitioners to select several representatives, so that they could meet them and make public arguments with them. At the same time, Wang Lezhi also proposed to publicly publish all the debates between the two sides in the newspapers so that everyone could see that the so-called righteousness was self-disclaimer. This action also surprised these people who came to petition because they thought of many results, and might be driven away. Maybe someone would tell them that the governor had already known it, and then sent them back. Maybe a low-level official would receive them and treat them perfunctorily. But no one expected that Wang Lezhi would personally meet the representatives of the petitions and debate with them, and the debates would be published in the newspapers.

In fact, this is also the habitual style of the East China Government. If someone is asked to resist land reform with a tough attitude, the East China Government will naturally respond with tough means. If it is using public opinion means, the East China Government will of course also respond with public opinion. After all, the East China Government will never be afraid to debate with anyone.

On the one hand, this is because in the old time and space, land reform had a very rigorous set of logical theoretical foundations; on the other hand, there were certain skills in debates. It was not that there were many people on that side and loud voices, so it was reasonable. In both aspects, the East China Government was fully prepared and also conducted special training for local officials.

However, at this point, the people who came to petition could not retreat. Although they were all gentry and local gentry from Zhejiang who spent money to invite help, there were also many of them. They were indeed opposed to the land reform of the East China Government for various reasons, and everyone thought they had sufficient reasons to stump the East China Government, so they all signed up one after another, and finally selected 10 representatives to meet Wang Lezhi.

But once the two sides debated, these famous scholars realized that it was not possible, because the debate was not enough to talk about illusory things such as benevolence, righteousness and morality, or to suppress people with a big hat. Instead, it was about arguments, arguments, and arguments. Wang Lezhi used rigorous logical theories, detailed data foundations, and examples to prove the harm of the feudal land system, the exploitation of tenants, and the obstacles to the development of social productivity, and refuted one by one what "landlords feed farmers", "landlords and tenants depend on each other and depend on each other", "landlords' contributions to society", and the petitioners thought they had sufficient reasons.

The most beneficial reason for petitioners was the theory of "private land property", which is also the basis for some petitioners to have confidence. No matter what theories proposed by the East China Government "who has land has its own land" and "develop productivity", the essence of land reform is to seize the landlords' land, which is probably difficult for the East China Government to justify itself.

The East China Government has conducted a large number of investigations and mastered the details of landlords' land by various means to occupy farmers' land and land tax, proving that the main means of landlords' acquisition of land is not to save money and work hard, but to seize it by cleverly. How to pass the landlords' land tax and occupy most of the production results, proving that robbing landlords' land is reasonable. Since the evidence is conclusive and the details of the case are clear, it is difficult for petitioners to refute it.

Moreover, the East China Government also has its own weapon of killing. Since the establishment of the East China Government, all the veterans have not obtained a mu of land for themselves through land reform. This has also made the East China Government occupy a moral high point, indicating that the East China Government's implementation of land reform is completely selfless, dedicated to the country, and unfavorable to themselves. And the petitioners cannot refute this point.

As a result, after two hours of debate, the reasons for opposing land reform proposed by 10 petitioned representatives were refuted by Wang Le's side. However, Wang Lezhi proposed reasons for implementing land reform, but the petitioned representatives could not make any rebuttals. Therefore, they were all speechless and could not raise their heads when leaving Wang Lezhi's office.

Of course, these 10 petition representatives returned in a defeat, but some other petitioners were still unwilling to accept it. So Wang Lezhi organized two more debates. In fact, the petition representatives who participated in the debate later had those reasons, and there were not many new things, so the results were almost the same. They went in with confidence, but came out dejectedly.

After the content of these three debates was reported, the other petition representatives were all deflated because the three debates were basically finished. Since they were all refuted by Wang Lezhi and could not find new reasons, what else could be said? The reasons for implementing land reform proposed by the East China Government, such as "reducing the exploitation of farmers", "promoting the development of productivity", and "making the farmer have the land", could not find any refutation. Since this is the case, what else could be said? If you want to debate with Wang Lezhi, wouldn't it be a shame for yourself? Therefore, the petitioning action of Zhejiang gentry and local sages, created public opinion, ended in vain.

Seeing that the petition representative had stopped, Wang Lezhi simply declared in the newspaper that everyone in society was welcome to participate in this discussion. After completing this matter, Wang Lezhi's secretary came to inform him that it was time to go to the dock to pick up the boat.

It turned out that today was the time when the members of the land reform team sent by Qingdao arrived in Hangzhou. This time, more than 300 people were sent, each team consisting of 6 people, and more than half of them had participated in land reform work in other regions and had rich experience. Because the land reform work in Zhejiang this time is very important, Qingdao also equipped it with elite soldiers and generals. After arriving in Hangzhou, the provincial government will allocate each team to various places in Zhejiang Province to be responsible for the specific land reform work. Of course, after arriving in the local area, the appropriate people will be selected from the local area to join.

In addition, Wang Lezhi's wife Wang Yu, four children, and two founders of Xileng Seal Society, Wang Fu'an, and Wu Yin also arrived in Hangzhou with the passenger ship. Wang Yu took his children to Hangzhou to reunite with Wang Lezhi, and then settled in Hangzhou. Of course, Wang Yu also had the affairs of the logistics company and would often travel to Qingdao, Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing and other places in the future, but during this period, his final destination was still in Hangzhou.

Wang Fu'an and Wu Yin were arranged by Wang Lezhi to go to Tianjin to examine the operating mode of Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy, and then discuss the operating mode of Xileng Seal Society in the future. Wang Lezhi bears the expenses along the way, and also entrusts Wang Yu to receive the two in Tianjin.

Wang Fu'an and Wu Yin conducted more than 10 days in the Tianjin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Not only did they understand the operating mode of the Tianjin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, but they also had a lot of experience exchanges with famous calligraphy, painting, gold and stone masters of Tianjin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Both of them felt that they had gained a lot.

Later, Wang Yu planned to set off for Hangzhou to reunite with Wang Lezhi, so everyone set off together. On the way back to Hangzhou, Wang Yu stayed in Qingdao for a few days because the headquarters of Huayun Logistics Company is in Qingdao, and Wang Yu still has some things to deal with here. Wang Fu'an and Wu Yin visited the industrial and economic achievements of the East China Government in Qingdao, and had a more intuitive understanding of the East China Government. After all, to develop the cultural industry, we must first have a strong industrial and economic foundation.

After Wang Yu finished handling the matter in Qingdao, the Zhejiang Land Reform Team organized by Qingdao also rushed to Hangzhou to carry out work, so Wang Yu and his party took the same passenger ship to Hangzhou with them.

For both public and private, Wang Lezhi naturally had to go to the dock to greet him personally. Therefore, Wang Lezhi specifically asked the secretary to remind himself at the point, so as not to have too much work and forget about time. Now that he received the reminder from the secretary, Wang Lezhi hurriedly put down his work and rushed to the Hangzhou wharf from the provincial government office. When he arrived at the dock, the ship also entered the port and docked. Therefore, the time was not long. The ship stopped and lowered the gangway, and the passengers got off the ship one by one.

The first person Wang Lezhi welcomed was of course the representative of the Zhejiang Land Reform Team. After all, public and then private. Wang Lezhi welcomed their arrival and hoped that their work in Zhejiang Province would go smoothly and complete their respective tasks. The land reform team's residence in Hangzhou had been arranged, with a special person and a special car to lead them there and arrange their residences. Of course, Wang Lezhi would not have to worry about these things.
