Zhang Nan crooked his mouth and said: "This is basically the case in northern India, those farmers want some pocket money, they have to go to the landlord to borrow, or go to the landlord's house to work in the slack time, and do some pocket work in the city, and this travel fee has to be borrowed from ......the landlord."

Before liberation, the poor peasants in China were very miserable, and there were many places where land rent accounted for half of it, but in India, all the grain of the peasants who rented land was handed over, and it will be like this in twenty or thirty years!

Weird, right?

It's so weird that it's unbelievable!

Kerala is actually very densely populated, and it is said to be the largest in all of India, and Alice can't even think about how many farmers here depend on that varma to survive, it's terrible to think about!

Although she is an American, she can also understand: this landowner is not the same as the Australian landowner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Australians can work for your family, and if I'm not happy, I can change places at will, and here, looking at the seemingly destitute villages and villagers on the roadside, it's hard to imagine what will happen to them if they leave the landlords to whom they depend!

Alice frowned and said, "Then boss, you also said that this is the best place in India, and it is a miracle that they don't make a rebellion!"

"Of course it's the best, because the farmers in Kerala don't have to hand over all their grain to the landlords, which is different from the rest of India, which is called rent reduction and interest reduction. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a tea plantation on the side of the road, "The people in the plantation here still have a little salary every month, and the food will be provided by the map, which is already very happy in all of India."

As for non-rebellion, that's the magic of India, and I don't understand it. ”

Well, reducing rent and interest is enough to fuck up, Zhang Nan estimated that Valma asked the farmers to keep the rations first, which also saved the trouble of redistribution by the people below.

Well, it feels a little darker than the "rent collection house", and this is still in modern society.....

It may not be a problem for a family to manage 2,500 square kilometres of pasture, but the population density here is about four to five hundred people per square kilometre, or at least 1 million people.

Even if a person only creates a net profit of $10 for the landlord in a year, this year is a huge fortune.

The Varmar family must have established a very complete "feudal management system", otherwise it would be blind for the CEO of any multinational company to manage this area.

India, Nyima is amazing!

Lin Ming and Alyosha in the car were also dumbfounded, and Alyosha said: "Older than Liu Wencai, more ruthless than Huang Shiren!"

Zhang Nan laughed after listening to it, Alice couldn't understand Chinese, and she didn't know who Liu Wencai and Huang Shiren were, so Zhang Nan briefly introduced it as a class education lesson for her.

"Actually, the situation of the Varma family is not a special case in India, and there are a very small number of landowners in northern India who may own thousands of square kilometers of land.

The average Indian landlord has only a few hundred hectares of land, and the thirty or forty hectares belong to the medium scale.

This is dictated by the nature of India, as if the countryside was still in the Middle Ages. The situation is worse in the north, where it is said that the servants of the big landlords are dressed in tatters. ”

Zhang Nan is actually a little worried, hoping that the Varma family can really be modernized as he said, otherwise according to the housing conditions of the common landlord's family in India, Zhang Nan estimates that it is a miracle that he can last two days!

It's not that it's not big enough, but it's extremely simple, and the furniture and facilities are not as good as those families who have newly built small buildings in rural China in the past two years.

After nearly an hour, the convoy finally arrived at its destination, a huge manor house in the colonial style, or a huge castle with a palace-like garden and fountain!

Not only that, just like the scene in "Gosford Manor", there is not only the main building that can be called the castle, but also the annex building with a simpler appearance not far away, which is not small.

Anyway, it's big, very big!

Hundreds of servants lined up to welcome their master's return.

"It's okay, boss, at least these people are fairly cleanly dressed. As she got out of the car, Alice whispered.

The servants could be seen from their clothing, all of them were traditional Indian clothes, and two of them seemed to be dressed quite ornately at the level of butlers - this was not the master, because it could be seen from the respectful attitude from the beginning.

And!

The two men in their forties and fifties went so far as to lie down and kiss Walma's shoes, welcoming their master's home with such a courtesy.

Well, the bodyguard comrades are really knowledgeable, just think that this trip is a complete crossing - this will not be popular "crossing", these two words have not yet been invented, but Alyosha and they all feel that they are really back in the feudal period.

Is this still a modern society?

"Be polite. ”

Seeing Varma coming up, Zhang Nan muttered to Alice.

Alice stuck out her tongue, Zhang Nan was amused by this action, and greeted her with this smile......

......

A combination of traditional Indian castles and European architecture, Varmar says there are more than 300 rooms, including more than 20 rooms for guests alone.

As a distinguished guest, Zhang Nan will have 8 servants to serve here.

That Manu Jain brought two bodyguards with him, and the bodyguards would live with him in the ostentatious castle, and the other 30 or so servants he brought with him would be arranged to be arranged in a nearby house built for servants.

Servants are not allowed to live with their masters, except for the servants on duty.

The status of the bodyguard was not low, because according to the old Indian concept, it belonged to the warrior class, that is, the Kshatriyas, and also belonged to the high caste - except for specific occasions such as temples and the presence of local Brahmin elders, Kshatriyas were able to sit on an equal footing with Brahmins.

As for Daniel, the hapless cook, and the pretty and seductive Alice, according to the old Indian tradition, they are strictly in the category of servants, but only in the high-class - dry cooks are generally the Shudra class who belong to the category of high-ranking servants.

The exception is a very small number of Western chefs, who are generally not the lowest caste Shudras.

As for the untouchables, they don't even have a caste and are untouchable.

Fortunately, Shudras are now absolutely not able to work as flight attendants, and Indians have a very strange and unstated rule: no matter what color you are or what country you are, as long as you have a foreign passport, you can get the treatment that can only be obtained by Kshatriya in India.

Therefore, foreigners can buy first-class tickets for trucks in India, and there will be a place for a bus, because others will consider you a Kshatriya from an aristocratic background.

This is not a government regulation, but a tradition for many years.

So don't you feel that Zhang Nan, the guest of honor, is a head lower than the host's family?
