Ye Lin quickly understood why Ye Kai said that his car would not work in the countryside, this road was too bad, and the main road was okay, that is, the provincial road.

But when you come down from the provincial road and turn onto the county road or the village road, there are dirt pits left behind after the rain, and there are deep ditches pressed out by tractors.

Don't talk about A6, even if it is the jeep driven by Ye Kai, it can sometimes be propped up, and the bare wheels turn around and the car does not move.

The two of them had to get down and put clods under the wheels, and then they went forward little by little, not for jeeps, let alone bicycles.

However, it seems that there are no bicycles in the countryside, and people rely on two legs to go everywhere.

"I said, third, why are you still driving on this road? After the chassis was held up this time, Ye Lin got out of the car and said.

"Big brother, I want to too! But there are still more than ten kilometers! If we walk over, it is estimated that it will be noon when we arrive at the place, although it is more troublesome to drive, but it is much faster than walking. ”

"Okay!" Ye Lin carried a piece of soil from the side of the road under the wheels.

The road was so bad that the jeep was originally riding in a ditch, but suddenly a pit appeared, and the jeep fell into the ditch as soon as it was upside down.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and with such a road, how can farmers get rich, not to mention that there is nothing to take out and sell, and even if there is, there is no way to transport it out.

"By the way, the third child, now the peasants still have to pay the public grain, right?"

"Uh! Big brother, don't you ask what the peasants have always paid for public grain!"

Hearing the third child say this, Ye Lin scratched his head, he only knew that farmers didn't need to pay public grain, but he didn't know from that year.

"Then how can the peasants pay the public grain on such a road?" Ye Lin asked as he put another lump of dirt under the rear wheel.

"Find a way to overcome it. ”

Ye Lin shook his head, it was really hard for him to imagine how the peasants could transport so much grain to the grain management office through such a road without a tractor.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you don't build roads, you won't be able to get rich at any time. ”

The third child put a lump of dirt under the other jeep wheel and said, "Big brother, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! You think I don't want to! But what about money!"

"It doesn't seem to cost much. Ye Lin glanced at the road, which was more than three meters wide.

"Big brother, you're talking about this one, but do you know how many such roads there are in the county? At least hundreds. ”

"Uh!" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, this is true.

There are 23 townships and towns, 361 brigades, and nearly 3,000 villages in the entire Caizhou County, and the road they take is only a certain road in a township, and there are dozens of roads like this in a township.

Because these roads have to lead to every village, and there are more than 100 villages in one township, although many villages use the same road, but there are many more than that!

Caizhou County, formerly known as Caizhou, is located in the southeast of Central Plains Province, with a total area of 1,453 square kilometers and 1.48 million acres of cultivated land.

In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, the grandson of Emperor Yan and the inventor of Huaxia well sinking technique, Bo Yi, assisted Dayu to control the water and was named the Marquis of Lü, and established the State of Lü in this place.

During the Spring and Autumn Period (529 B.C.), the Marquis of Cai Ping moved the capital to Guludi, which was known as Caizhou State in history, and Caizhou was named after it.

"Third, where are we going? When the car set off again, Ye Lin asked.

"Big brother, the place we are going to now is called the Sankong Bridge Brigade. ”

"Sankong Bridge Brigade?" Ye Lin has always been puzzled by this brigade.

"Well, it's actually the village committee in the imperial capital, but it's different from the imperial capital, in the imperial capital, a village is a village committee. ”

"yes, what's different here?"

"There is a big difference, this is not called the village committee, but the brigade, because a brigade will have many natural villages, just like the place we are going to now, their brigade is relatively large, and there are nineteen natural villages below. ”

"No! ”

"Well, these natural villages are also called production teams, so there are brigades, production brigades. ”

If this is in the imperial capital, nineteen villages, it is equivalent to one township. ”

"That's not true, and this brigade has a large population, so it is also relatively poor, I brought you here today just to let you see here. ”

"Well, I said how you kid brought me here, it turned out to be premeditated. ”

Ye Lin knew that his cousin wanted him to invest in the countryside, but he didn't know that if according to the current situation, even if he invested, it was estimated that it would be useless, because of the road.

Without roads, the countryside will develop, and there will be no way to transport what is produced, and besides, there will be no development at all without roads.

Ten kilometers away, the jeep actually walked for more than an hour, although it was much faster than walking, but it was slow enough.

But fortunately, I finally got to the Sankong Bridge Brigade that the third child said.

Sankong Bridge is also a natural village, but the brigade headquarters is set up here, so it is called the Sankong Bridge Brigade.

However, the brigade and the village are not together, the brigade headquarters is on the south side of the village, about 200 meters away from the village, and it is said that it is the brigade headquarters, but in fact it is three half-brick and half-earth houses.

What is called half brick and half soil, that is, the lower half is green bricks, which is to prevent the rain from washing away and washing away the foundation.

The upper half doesn't matter, because there are eaves, basically the rain can't be washed away, and even if it is washed up, it's fine, as long as the foundation is not broken, the upper half can be repaired.

This repair is actually to add some wheat straw with soil, and then paste it once, so that it is stronger and stronger.

There is a small courtyard in the brigade headquarters, and there is not even a gatehouse, so there is a circle of earthen walls, and then a door is installed.

And looking at the wall, it seems to be in disrepair, because the west wall has collapsed a little, revealing a gap.

As soon as Ye Kai stopped the car, an old man ran out of the yard, and when the old man saw Ye Kai, he hurriedly ran over with a smiling face.

"Ye County, why are you here?"

As soon as he heard the old man's name, Ye Lin knew that this old man knew Ye Kai, and he seemed to be very familiar with it, which really made Ye Lin not expect.

I didn't expect that my younger brother, the head of a county, would often go to the countryside, you must know that the head of a county in many places is estimated to be in the next township until retirement.

"Li Zhishu, your body is fine!"

"Ye County, rest assured, my old bones can work for a few more years, at least I can't die now. ”

After speaking, he turned around and glanced at Ye Lin and asked, "This is ......?"

"Old branch secretary, this is my eldest brother, this time he came here to see me. ”

"Ah, Ye Xian, you say he is your eldest brother?" This Li Zhishu glanced at Ye Lin again, there was no way, it was because of Ye Lin's appearance.

"Yes, old branch secretary, don't look at him looking much younger than me, he is actually several years older than me. ”

"Hello old branch secretary. Ye Lin stretched out his hand first.

"Hello, hello!" the old branch secretary stretched out his hands and shook hands with Ye Lin.

"Ye County, and this Comrade Ye, let's go in first, it's hot outside. ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

In fact, the inside of the house is not cooler than the outside, there is no electricity here, let alone any air conditioning or electric fans.

But at least the house will not be exposed to the sun, and now it is summer, and the sun is very poisonous.

The old branch secretary moved over a bench and asked Ye Lin and Ye Kai to sit down, and then he also pulled over a bench and sat down and asked, "Ye County, what ......are you doing this time?"

"That's right, I'm here to do an inspection to see if we can grow some cash crops here. ”

"Uh!" As soon as Ye Kai finished speaking, the old branch secretary's face changed.

Ye Lin didn't speak, just enough to see clearly, Ye Lin knew that there was already something in this, otherwise the old branch secretary would not have this expression.

But Ye Kai didn't seem to notice it, and he was still saying it, so Ye Lin pulled him, then looked at the old branch secretary, and nodded to Ye Kai.

Ye Kai glanced at the old branch secretary, and also found the abnormality of the old branch secretary, so he said, "Old branch secretary, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Ye Xian, what are you going to let us plant this time? Can you stop doing it? Everyone is running out of food. ”

"Uh, old branch secretary, what do you mean by that?"

"Ye County, in fact, this has been done a few years ago, at that time you have not been transferred, at that time the township let the fruit trees be planted, and drew a cake for everyone, saying how much money can be earned a year by planting fruit trees. ”

"How did you come back?" Ye Kai hurriedly asked.

"What else, at that time, several villages were planted, it can be said that the pot was smashed and sold to buy fruit tree seedlings, but a few years later, the fruit was born, and the township promised to collect it at the door, but after the fruit was picked, it was sent out, and you also saw our road here, there is no way to send it out. ”

"That's not right! I've been here more than a dozen times for the Sankong Bridge Brigade, and I've been to basically every village, but I haven't seen any fruit trees!"

"I cut it a long time ago. ”

"Ahh

"The fruit can't be transported, and the fruit can't be eaten, and everyone has to pay public grain every year, so they can only cut down the fruit trees and replant the land. ”

"This ......"

Although Ye Kai felt a pity, it was understandable, not to mention Ye Kai, Ye Lin could understand it.

Just like the old branch secretary said, the fruit can't be eaten as food, everyone still has to eat, and they have to pay public grain, if they don't cut down the fruit trees and plant the land, then they can only starve.

The common people all came from that era, and they all knew that starvation was not pleasant, and they were just able to eat two meals a day, and they were suddenly beaten back to their original shape.

No wonder the old branch secretary's face is not good-looking, and no one will look good.

"Old branch secretary, it's like this, I ......"

"Okay, third child, don't talk about it. Just when Ye Kai was about to say something, Ye Lin interrupted him.
