Chapter 620: Miaoqiao
Lanyang Plain, wide and long straight, has a unique geographical features, and in the Lanyang Plain, the most characteristic is that it welcomes the northeast monsoon, the groundwater is particularly abundant, due to the large difference in the height of the terrain, springs everywhere.
Originally, most of the Yilan Plain was swampland, and there were many fish and shrimp in the marshland, and the Kamalan people who lived in the Lanyang Chongji Fan lived a traditional life of fishing and hunting, and later after the progress of the times, they would also have some nomadic farming, and when the Han people came, they already had a fixed dry field.
The most special thing is that there is one biggest difference between this place and other places, that is, the farmland in other places needs water for irrigation, but the reason for the poor development of the Lanyang Plain in the early stage is because there is too much water in this place, and the water content in the soil is too large, so it can only be used as a swamp, but the swamp is a bad area for agricultural production, and even if you grow rice, you can't grow smoothly. What's more, the Kamalan people also grow upland rice, corn, sweet potatoes and other grains.
A large area of farmland can be carved out in this place because of the Lanyang Pai in this place.
Lanyang Dapai is not a reservoir for irrigation water, but for drainage.
In the Lanyang Plain, there is a special agricultural drainage tool, that is, drainage pipes, a lot of drainage pipes are buried in the field, the biggest feature of the drainage pipes is that when the water seeps down, they can guide the water out of the farmland, so that the water volume of the farmland in this place is kept fixed.
After the aquaculture fishery began to flourish, this place has a natural water source, so it is different from other places because it will pump water, causing the stratum to subside, this place is very much water, many people put these places with too much water, simply change them into fish farms, so the east side of the Lanyang Plain, now see a lot of fish farming, planting lotus, the whole farmland style, it looks colorful.
In the early days, the next door to Yilan was Tianlong City, but the transportation to Tianlong City was extremely difficult, so the things grown here basically could not be sold, and those that were to be sold had to pass through Wushi Port, but the ships at that time were not able to pass at any time, and they had to follow the monsoon to be able to drive the ships out in the right season.
So at that time, although the Yilan Plain was a very fertile place, the people were very poor, and the Kamalan people in this place did not get along with the Han people very harmoniously.
The biggest feature of the Gemaran people is that in the yard in front of their house, they often plant large-leaved olive nuts, some people say that the large-leaved olive is the flower of the dead, because they will put the corpses of the dead in the family under the bed at home.
So the holiest place in their house is the bed.
They are not very welcome to outsiders to enter their houses, because their houses are their holiest places.
"Kamaran" is a transliteration of Hokkien, in Kamalan language, it means "people of the plains", and is mainly used to demarcate the people who live in the plains, as well as the Atayal people in the mountains.
Because the Atayal tribe who lived in the mountains had to get salt by the sea and go out to hunt grass by the way, the two tribes did not get along very peacefully.
However, due to the vast area, they can still avoid each other, after all, every time the Atayal people come out, they don't want to get into trouble, and they will avoid the big tribes of the Kamalan tribe.
In fact, the Atayal tribe is not a tribe, there are many tribes, and the time for each tribe to come out to get salt is not the same.
There are also sixty or seventy tribes of the Kamalan tribe, and they live in a relatively scattered manner.
When the Han people came in, they found that the land between the mountains and the sea was relatively dry and suitable for farming, so they began to occupy this land, which was very bad for the Atayal people.
Because the Han people obstructed the passage of the Atayal people, obtaining salt and sea water, although it is a very simple thing, but without salt and sea water, for the Atayal people, this is a matter of life and survival, if a person does not use salt for a long time, then his body will become weaker, and his eyes will also have problems, so not only people, including animals, will find a way to find on land, can go to the land where salt can be ingested.
Before the development of agricultural drainage technology, the relationship between the Han Chinese and the Kamalan was relatively good, but after the development of drainage technology, the Han people, who were infinitely greedy for land, began to infiltrate the Kamalan people, and the result was that the relationship between the Han and the Pingpu people was similar.
Basically, Kamalan women will be taken away by the Han people, because it is the nature of all ethnic groups to need a better life, and women are especially easy to survive across races and be accepted by other races.
Moreover, the fields opened up by the Karmalan tribe were also thrown into the dead cats and dogs, causing the Kamalan tribe to abandon the fields because of bad luck.
The shrinking of the Kamalan fields and the various oppressive behaviors of the Han people finally made the Kamalan people go to Hualien Taitung.
The Kamalan people who had just arrived in Taitung, Hualien, just like the natural momentum of Wu Sha Narrow swept the Lanyang Plain at that time, and soon gradually overtook the wilderness of the Qilai Plain over the Ami and Atayal people who lived in the local area, making Kaliwan the second homeland of the Kamalan people.
Like the other Pingpu people on Dayuan Island, the Kamalan is a matriarchal society, but the Kamalan people are an egalitarian society without classes, even if the family is rich, there are no servants, and the leader is elected by election.
Other public affairs in the tribe are divided and cooperated by the tribesmen of all ages, and when there is an incident, the conch is used as a trumpet to gather everyone.
The Kamalan ethnic group belongs to the system of primogeniture, where the eldest daughter inherits most of the property, and if there is no daughter in the family, the eldest son inherits most of the property.
The marriage system of the Kamalan people includes the marriage of the woman and the marriage of the man, and the Kamalan people, both men and women go to the fields, and the working men and women often meet on the ridges, and then like each other.
Perhaps before the Han Chinese were instilled in the Kamalan way of life, they were subsistence in fishing, farming, hunting, and gathering, and they took everything from nature and hunted in the low-lying wilderness with dense streams.
Women are the main workers in agriculture, fishing is the work of men, and children are taught to mark fish from the age of ten.
It's just not a very important traditional craft of the Kamalan people.
The Kamalan people are accustomed to using plant fibers, and generally choose different plant fabrics depending on the items they make.
Bags and the like may be made of banana fiber.
Not all bananas are suitable for weaving, but a type of banana called a more fibrous banana.
The best banana cloth can be made into cassette belts, straps, betel nut bags.
It can also be made into clothes or straw mats, fresh banana cloth has a hard texture, and after several washes, the texture can be dried.
"Wood, what's wrong with you? Riding a crooked car, the spirit doesn't belong, do you miss a woman?"
"I'm thinking about how a woman who is a Kamalan woman can weave banana cloth? There shouldn't be many cultures that use bananas to weave cloth, and I haven't heard of Filipinos weaving banana cloth. ”
"Your mind is on such a serious question?"
Lawrence momentarily wondered.
"Well, I'm imagining that I'm a Kamalan shaman, communicating with the ancestral spirits. ”
"When you introduced, Kamalan was a woman. ”
"Well, I want to go to the mountains for a while, I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time, and I've been riding a bicycle on flat ground. So my mind began to arrange activities, and I wanted to walk all the way south from the snow-capped mountains in the north to the Eluanbi in the central mountain range in the south. Walking on the edge of the mountain, I don't know what kind of scenery I can see......"
Lin Musen was embarrassed to say that he wanted to go into the mountain alone.
"It's a pity that you said it was late, I have to go home immediately after you go back, and say that the matter of marriage must be handled by the people of the family, although some people have already come, but the specific affairs must be reported to our clan. ”
"By the way, when it comes to your marriage, it may surprise you at that time.
I wanted to go to the mountains, because I once saw a kind of water that felt a bit like the water of Suao Cold Spring, but at that time I saw dead insects on the water so I didn't dare to drink it.
So I wanted to go over and see if I could buy the land. ”
"Suao Cold Spring, can't it be used for my wedding, the level is not enough, can't I use marbles at my wedding?"
"The main thing is that the surrounding environment may produce what I need, and if I improve it, the water there will taste very good and taste very good. Suao Cold Spring inspires me.
Anyway, I'll come back to you after I find it and confirm the quality.
If the water there can't be used, I will at most ask Jiang Bingkun to give you his wine first. ”
Lawrence's saliva immediately flowed, because Jiang Bingkun's wine he had drunk in Lishan, and it tasted better than most of the wine he had drunk, if he could provide this level of wine for his wedding, then it could be said that the grade of his wedding would be greatly improved.
"Since you are responsible for most of the dishes for our wedding, and the drinks are also in charge of it together, if you tell me how much it costs, I will never say anything, but we are good friends, you can't cheat me too much......"
This statement made three black lines appear in Lin Musen's head on the spot, and suddenly he felt that the three black lines of Cherry Maruko were really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The food in Jiaoxi seems to be all kinds of steamed buns, Lin Musen is silently eating steamed buns, thinking about a suitable place in his mind, because this land can not be in the state-owned forest, it must be private land, but in the places near the east coast, there are many lands that are not private land, nor national land, but aboriginal reserves, belonging to aborigines.
He only leased it to the Han Chinese, but if the land has a better output, maybe the aborigines will want to take it back and run it himself, and then he will only compensate a little, and the deposit is not a problem for him at all.
Therefore, he could not acquire the land by rent, he had to buy it.
But this land must be in a remote mountain, such a place, the nearby landlords probably know each other, may know the situation of this land, so it must be under the control of the landlord from other places for a long time, so it seems that it is very difficult to find such a land, you have to try your luck.
Maybe people will encounter good luck when they are unlucky, because this good luck can just solve his problem.
Lin Musen walked silently on the streets, sometimes when he met familiar people, he didn't know how to say hello to them, so he let them stagger.
"What's wrong with the wood, shouldn't you be tired of playing with us?"
"There may be some major problems that need to be carefully considered, and more important things may be that there is a bit of a problem with the materials to prepare for Lawrence's wedding, and I am thinking about how to produce more materials, and the more materials are given, the higher the price. ”
They were thinking in different directions, and even whispered in Lin Musen's ear, but Lin Musen didn't hear it.
When Lin Musen walked to the front of the land scrivener, he saw a person sitting in front of the land scrivener office very depressed.
But this person entered Lin Musen's eyes, let Lin Musen see him, and saw the appearance on his legs, he unconsciously asked:
"What's wrong with you? You look very depressed, don't you have nothing to eat, I can buy you some steamed buns to eat, I also have some steamed buns in my hand, let's eat them for you!"
The man raised his head, looked at Lin Musen in frustration and didn't go back, so he directly reached into the plastic bag of Lin Musen's bun, picked up the bun and began to eat, after he started eating, his tears couldn't help but flow, but he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lin Musen didn't dare to ask more, but just asked him:
"If there aren't enough buns, I'll buy some more for you. ”
"No, enough, enough, in fact, I have the money to buy steamed buns, but the money is not enough to treat my mother, my wife, and my children, they are burned by the fire and urgently need the cost of surgery, although the hospital will help them treat them first, but the money still has to be paid."
I came to this place to ask the local scrivener if my piece of land could be sold, but the scrivener said that my land was too high in the mountains, and if it was to be sold, it would not be able to be sold in a few days.
If you don't wait for a year or two, you may not be able to sell it, because there is no advantage in the vicinity, and if you want to do a tourism industry, no one will go to play on it. ”
After speaking, the old man wiped his tears.
Lin Musen grasped the key point, this old man's land is on the mountain, and it is a very remote place, perhaps the nearby landlord does not know his land very well, and the old man seems to have held this land for a very long time.
"Tell me what the land looks like. If the price is right, I'll buy it, so you can have money to treat your loved ones' injuries. ”
The old man raised his head in disbelief and stared at Lin Musen with wide eyes. He doesn't seem to believe in his good luck, his land is very large, even if the price is relatively low because it belongs to forest land, but he can't get it without tens of millions, of course, he can still discount it, because he is in urgent need of cash now.
