Volume 1 Ten Years of Silence Chapter 3 The Struggle between the People and the Officials (1)
"Master, what else is the herbal tea, it's hot to death" After asking, he didn't wait for a response, he went into the house and picked up the cup and poured a cup!
"Drink slowly," Grandma cared.
Chen Xiao's grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he is also famous. Helped people cure a lot of dark diseases!
The ingredients of herbal tea are several Chinese herbs, such as licorice, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, lily, mint, etc., boiled together with tea, and the ingredients are very common are some common herbs, and the valuable thing is this recipe!
In his previous life, when his grandfather passed away, he probably thought it was too ordinary, so he didn't stay!
Winning this recipe is also within Chen Xiao's plan in this life!
"Master, how did you make this herbal tea? When will you write down this recipe and pass it to me!"
"What is there to pass on about an herbal tea?"
"You said in case you ...... one day Shouldn't I just be able to drink it!" said hehehe!
"You're cursing me, if you want to learn to let your grandmother teach you tomorrow."
Chen Xiao, who received a satisfactory answer, continued to drink herbal tea!
"You're not just here to drink tea!, what else do you have to say!" Seeing Chen Xiao look like he wanted to speak and stopped, Grandpa asked!
"This year, our village has suffered such a big disaster, and there is basically no harvest, I want to ......"
"You want me to take the lead in fighting against food! I can't agree to this. I'm in my sixties, and besides, I'm a Communist Party member, and I can't take the lead in making trouble and going against the country," grandpa guessed Chen Xiao's mind at a glance!
"If the grain is really handed over, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind! And the grain will not be enough to pay!" At this time, the grain is collected according to the population, and a population is almost more than 200 catties! Although Chen's father has six brothers, but his uncle Chen's father has become a family, so Chen Xiao's family has to pay more than 1,000 catties if he takes his grandfather or grandmother. My own family now has more than one stone of old grain! The gap is very large! It is estimated that other families are also very similar!
"This is something your uncle is considering! He is the village chief. At this time, there is no other way but to resist food, Chen Xiao understands this kind of thinking of his grandfather, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others! As for finding the uncle, forget it! Don't talk about being honest, he is an accomplice every time he collects grain!
"What if the state was free of food!"
"That's not exactly. There have been no major disasters in recent years, there is no precedent for this!"
"The rain is so heavy this year, the Yellow River has not flowed through us, and there is no harvest, let alone the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, which is estimated to be even more serious. The state can't ignore it! Free food is one of them, and the state may even subsidize it!"
"Then wait until the policy comes out!"
"Master, even if this policy is out now, when it reaches us, the daylily will be cold! This is that the grain will be handed over in a few days! You don't know that some people ......" Some words are not easy to say clearly, everyone can know in their hearts.
"Will the state really give free food? Who did you listen to? How sure are you?"
"I guess!"
"Aren't you fooling around! In short, I don't agree, if you can't pay the food, I'll make up the rest for you!"
A 12-year-old kid's guess is naturally unconvincing! But Chen Xiao can't just say, "I'm coming back from the future, and I will definitely get free food when I go home, 100 percent." I guess no one will believe it!
Chen Xiao can only return in defeat!
The next day, Chen Xiao asked people to bring a large bag of candy and a few cannons from the supply and marketing cooperative! Then he gathered his friends and rushed to come one by one when they heard that there was candy to eat!
No one divided a few pieces of candy and agreed on a code for a few artillery battles! The main reason is that every family lives at a distance, and the sound of artillery battles is quite loud!
originally planned to persuade grandpa, and then use grandpa's prestige to unite several villages, but now it seems that there is no fun!
It's time to hand over the grain again! Uncle and every family went to the door to persuade them, although they knew that there would be no result! No one said no, but they didn't say when they would pay it! They all planned to follow the crowd!
The grain station sent someone to urge!
"Brother Li, do you think we can harvest grain this year?"
"I don't know that, but I heard from my brother-in-law that the people sent to other villages have not received it!"
"Hey! There is basically no harvest this year! It is the common people who suffer!"
"You sigh a hammer! Our goal is to receive the grain, hurry up and find a way to collect the grain for me, and your share will be indispensable when the time comes! This is really, ouch......"
It has been raining for so long that the road from Chencun to the town has collapsed everywhere!
Although he looked down on Li Tianming in his heart, he was arrogant and domineering. But who calls someone's brother-in-law the head of the grain station!
Even though it has been sunny for more than half a month, the road is still muddy, and the two of them walked more than 10 miles to Chen Village, and their clothes are no longer the same!
"You two have worked hard, let's have a cup of tea in the house!" the uncle greeted!
"Don't drink tea, you're the village chief! You said that you village chiefs are not ready to pay grain, are they? Are you all going to study?"
"This comrade, it's not that we don't pay food. The main reason is that there is no harvest in our village after a heavy rain, and there is not much stale grain in every family, and everyone will be hungry after paying the grain! Moreover, the road has collapsed, and the board cars cannot pass!" Hearing that he would be arrested and go to learn two words, the uncle hurriedly explained.
"Then I don't care, since ancient times, we have to pay grain for farming, and we can only collect grain! You can keep these words for the country!" There is no possibility of maneuvering!
Seeing noon, the uncle beckoned to eat lunch, with wine and meat!
"Is someone taking the lead in making trouble?"
"No, nothing. They are honest people who do their duty."
"If there is any difficulty, you can tell me, and we will help you settle it. Whoever dares to resist the relationship, locked up and studied for a few days, I see who dares not to pay"
"The main reason is that the work of the villagers is not easy to do!" Originally, he didn't have much oil and water as the head of the village, so he could subsidize more than 200 yuan a year!
"If it's not good, we have to do it! We're here to inform you, not to discuss with you, and we'll go to the grain station to hand over the grain within three days! If we let us run again, we won't be so easy to talk to, and don't blame us for not being merciful when the time comes!"
Finally accompanied the smiling face to send off the two plague gods, and the uncle's face darkened, and his face was full of sadness! All this was seen by Chen Xiao!
Gather everyone for a mobilization meeting in the evening!
"Be quiet, listen to me say a few words! Today there are people at the grain station! This year's grain delivery target has come down, and each person is 180 catties!"
Before I could finish speaking, there was a lot of discussion below!
"180 pounds for a person, then my family has to pay more than 1,000 pounds. Even if I hand over all the old food, it's not enough!"
"Yes, yes"
"The food is all handed over, what do we eat and drink!"
"This year, we have no harvest, and the state does not provide relief, so why do we still collect grain"
......
That's pretty good!
"What do you say the village chief did?
Hearing this, the uncle's face immediately darkened again!
"Why didn't I react, I sent my grandson to beg someone! If you think you can, this village chief will let you be it!"
"Even if we have food, we can't even cross the carts when the road is broken, so we can't carry bags to the grain station!"
There is still a lot of discussion below, and there is no intention of stopping!
"The people gave a three-day period, and those who couldn't pay the food came to ask for it in person! What is there to go home and talk about!" After saying that, he turned around and left!
Naturally, the discussion will not be fruitful, and everyone will leave the meeting with their own hearts!
Chen Xiao set off the first firecracker! Then, after a while, he heard the sound of firecrackers one after another!
In about ten minutes, the friends came one after another!
"Go back to your mother, someone will come out! Don't hand over this year's grain! One word: Wait!" Chen Xiao estimated that the document had been issued at this time, but he didn't know what to get to Yangshan County!
After talking about the old rules, a piece of candy for one person!
"Also, if I'm setting off firecrackers next time, I'll tell your mother: Grandpa Chen Xiao was beaten, let everyone hurry up and bring the guys to help!"
"What are you bringing with you?" someone asked.
"Hoes, forks, brooms, whatever!"
"Will there be any candy to eat next time you set off firecrackers?"
"Yes! two pieces per person," Chen Xiao said!
Chen Xiao can only hope that the document will arrive in Yangshan County as soon as possible! He will not think of the last step until he has to! It is estimated that his ass will bloom!
Seeing that the three-day deadline had expired and no one from Chen Village had come to hand over the grain, Li Tianming felt that his authority had been provoked and that he had lost face! He boasted about Haikou in front of his brother-in-law and the rest of the grain station: Within three days, the people of Chen Village would definitely come to hand over the grain! After finding several fox friends and dog friends, they were all angry and set off for Chen Village! In fact, they were all idle and lazy people, and they were commonly known as "second slippers" here!
"Brother, shall we do it this time?" asked one of them.
"Stupid or not, do you still need to do it with Brother Li?
"A group of flat-headed people, if they obediently hand over the grain, we will not remember the villain. If you dare not pay the food, whoever takes the lead will catch me and send it to study" The more certain in my heart is that someone is coming out!
"Brother, but we don't have the right to arrest people!"
"I'll take it for you, what are you afraid of!"
"That's it, what are you Brother Li afraid of, you coward" After speaking, he looked at the person who had just asked with contempt!
Li Tianming, who was fluttering in the fart, forgot all the words of his brother-in-law when he came out in the morning!
After the group arrived in Chen Village, they went straight to the uncle's house!
"Village Chief Chen, your village is amazing! Are you planning to resist the public grain? Who will take the lead?"
"Don't you dare to say that!" Chen Cun can't afford to pay the big hat of public grain!
"Tell me, I gave you a three-day deadline."
"Isn't this the road collapsing, I'll take everyone to repair the road!
"Repair the road? Fix the road? Show it to me! I walked all the way, but I didn't see the road repaired."
"I'm ......"
"Okay, don't go around the bush with me, tell me who picked the head?"
"This is really no one to stir up trouble, we are all farmers who do our duty, and we don't dare to borrow a few of them! Besides, now the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out!" In fact, the uncle also knows that someone must have picked the head, otherwise there would be no movement for three days. In fact, I have already discovered it, but what can I do if I find it?
