Agricultural methods, water conservancy construction, the promotion of improved varieties and soil agriculture, and the ratio of féi materials have doubled the yield per mu of crops through the promotion of Tiandihui. This makes farming profitable for many farmers, rather than just barely making ends meet. All the families with a little more land are expanding their operations, and many of the fields that had been abandoned because of low yields and unprofitable yields have been restored.

As a result, labor has become expensive. Lingao did not belong to the place where the labor force was abundant, and in the past, it was nothing more than the low agricultural output, the peasants' active production, and the low xìng to cover up this problem, but now the demand for labor has increased greatly, but the idle labor force in the rural areas has been absorbed in large numbers, and has become industrial workers, joined the army, navy, and entered schools, so that the problem of labor shortage has been exposed at once.

A direct response to the lack of labor is the skyrocketing price of hired labor. This is heart-wrenching for the landlords and rich peasants, who have become accustomed to giving them a full meal and a small amount of money to make them work for a day, and the pursuit of profit is innate.

The lady of the house is probably called a ghost every day, right? "The lady of the house is Fu Yijin's mother, so Fu Fu still retains a little politeness, but the children in the family have always hated and feared the mother of the house, even the nv of the biological Feng.

Fu Xi laughed a few times, of course, this is of course, but now the food is good, and the lady of the house is not as stingy as before. Otherwise, everyone is clamoring to get out of the country. ”

After the increase in labor prices, there are job opportunities everywhere. Including Bairen City, there are daily recruitments, and in the past, if you leave the master's house, you may lose your source of livelihood or even starve to death, and the danger no longer exists. The head of the family who continues to oppress and abuse the slaves can vote with their feet and go away to give the Australians a good life. The main family lost a labor force in vain, and even if they went to recover it, they could get back a little insignificant value. For this amount of money, it is completely impossible to buy another slave now. There are many outlets for the poor, whether they go to work or serve as soldiers in Australians, "it is more than enough to make ends meet, not to mention the extremely strict regulations on the control of human trafficking by Australians, and the payment of a very heavy tax on slave ownership."

Fu Yijin smiled a little awkwardly and didn't speak. Fu Fu asked about how the village seemed to have grown, and only then did he know that Meiyang Village had indeed expanded a lot more than before. With the help of the People's Committee for Civil Affairs and the Tiandihui, the immigrants assigned to the village built a new residential complex on the wasteland on the other side of the river outside the village, according to several building plans of the standard village that were made by Wen Deji. As a result, the number of households in Meiyang Village has expanded to a large village with more than 150 households and a population of nearly 1,000 people.

There are more outsiders, and the village is not quiet. Fu Yijin frowned and complained

Although Dad is the village chief, the outsiders don't take him seriously, and not long ago, there was a fight over the matter of releasing water. ”

After the construction of farmland and water conservancy is completed, it will no longer rely on the sky for food. However, when there is a drought, which piece of land should be released with water first and how much has become the focus of the peasants' struggle

weishenme？ Fu Fu felt strange, and most of them were bullied by outsiders, and this time before returning to his hometown, the officers of the political department also specially promoted the need to unite immigrants and help immigrants," said the god of "jīng."

Fu Yijin didn't want to talk more, she felt that this matter should not be too much, and besides, she didn't want her to explain things clearly, and she didn't think it was easy for Chu Zi to be ugly.

Fu Xi, who returned it, can say that how can immigrants be bullied? Now it's half immigrant, half villager. Moreover, the immigrants were unified and divided the land, and got food, farm tools and seeds, and the rich and the poor scraped together. It's a strange place again, and everyone is twisted together.

In our village, this person is so poor that the rich are rich, and the rich are bullied by immigrants, and the poor in the village are only jokes to see who is willing to come out. ”

That's right. "Fu Fu thinks this thing is quite fresh, doesn't this mean that the immigrants are bullying the villagers?"

Outsiders just have no conscience. "Fu Yijin complained that the land was originally from our village, but now there are so many of them, and there are also outsiders who come over for the first year's food, and the labor to build the house is all from our village, so they have land to settle down, and they all tremble all of a sudden." Fu Yijin probably felt that the people in the village had suffered too much in this matter, so he couldn't help but babble. She is uneducated, her speech is incoherent, she will talk about this thing, she will say that thing, she is rich, she is confused, in short, she is an immigrant, she is unreasonable and has no conscience.

That can't be said. "Fu Xi's own status is transcendent, and his feelings for Meiyang Village are not so deep, and the land of outsiders has not been planted in the village for many years. Everyone helped to open up the wasteland and build houses, but the chiefs also gave money, and it was not for nothing. Besides, the rations for the first year or something, that is a fine for concealing the acres of land, and it is not a good deed. It's impossible to say who owes whom. But then again, the migrant households feel that they are too many and are not satisfied with the management of the village, and it is also a fact that they want to be fair, and they actually have to take the lead themselves, and this is how the last water release incident started. ”

In this way, everyone will not become enemies? ”

That's not going to happen. After the last fight over the release of water, the police and the head of the house were stationed to drink tea and talk to the heads on both sides, and everyone was reconciled, anyway, there was no lawsuit, and I didn't look up all day long, and I couldn't prepare for a fight every day. But at the moment, no one cares about anyone, the Han River and Chu Realm. If you lose a duck and run to the other side, consider yourself unlucky. ”

Fu Fu was instilled in the army, and the thinking of "unity of the brain" couldn't help but blurt out

That's not good. ”

Of course not. It is difficult for the head of the family and the village chief to be a servant arranged by the above, and they will not obey you at all.

When the chief came to teach the new agricultural method, he was a customer of the Heaven and Earth Society, but both sides refused to be present together. I have to teach two games to finish. It is difficult to do anything in the village, and both sides must be wringing it out. The head of the village, the head of the village, is equal to half of the village head. Fu Xi said, pulled a few wild flowers from the side of the road, and made a wreath casually, I see that the master of the house will probably complain to Chief Wan again at night. ”

The chief doesn't care? ”

Chief Wan said that he was from the Heaven and Earth Society, "No matter what." Fu Yijin continued to complain and asked his father to go to his superiors to reflect. Dad didn't dare to go."

It's not that I'm afraid that the chief will dislike him, and he can't do things and can't be the village head. "Fu Xi has no respect or fear for the master of this family, anyway, he is ready to nest like this if he doesn't make a big incident."

A man walked and laughed as he walked towards the village. The original residents lived partly and are now called Dongcun, the layout has not changed much, and the houses are mostly sunny, but the small river at the entrance of the village has become much clearer, and the river has been cleaned by the accumulation of activities, and the original wooden bridge has been rebuilt, making it wide and strong enough.

A new public toilet has been built at the entrance of the village, and according to Fu Xi, there is one at the other end of the village. The public toilets themselves are nothing special, except that the manure tanks are made of bricks and plastered with cement, and everyone says that Australians are too extravagant, and it is said that this is to make biogas". As for what this biogas is, what it is used for, everyone still does not know.

It is said that this is called the uniform product féi. "Fu Xi said that this way the home will be much more hygienic."

The houses in the East Village are dilapidated compared to the fort-like houses in the West Village. Although the new immigrants in the West Village can live in strange houses that the people here have never seen before, Fu Fu knows that although the area occupied by each household is not large, all kinds of facilities are available, and it is an all-brick house, which does not leak rain in summer and does not enter the wind in winter, and lives very comfortably. As far as the brick houses are concerned, almost all the aborigines of the East Village are compared, you must know that in the past, only a handful of families in the entire Meiyang Village lived in brick houses. The rest of the houses are all bamboo, the walls are pasted with yellow mud, and the upper layer of white ash is brushed, even if it is elegant, the roof is needless to say, it is all straw.

No wonder immigrants and aborigines are at odds all at once. Fu Fu thought that this gap was too big. He himself did not understand that the chiefs of Weishenme should be so kind to the immigrants, and give them free houses that could only be lived in by landlords in the past.

The house of the Fu Fuji family had just been renovated, and after the end of the field last year, the Heaven and Earth Society let him tenant the land in the form of a division system out of consideration for setting up a pacesetter, and the Fu family did not receive most of the land. Fu Buji got the sweetness and built up confidence in the two things of land improvement and rice sparse planting, so he was willing to invest and listen to the guidance of agricultural technicians, and this year he got a great bumper harvest, and sold 10,000 broad beans to the Tiandihui to improve the soil.

With money in his hand and becoming the village head, Fu Fuji immediately began to renovate the house according to the traditional thinking of Chinese farmers. This matter immediately attracted the attention of Ye Yuming and Wu Nanhai. In order to make Fu Fuji a pacesetter of new agriculture and new countryside", at the same time, let farmers carry out it for the next step

The courtyard economy "has a big side hustle and sets a vivid example." Fu Fuji was pushed by Wan Lihui to engage in an Australian-style farmhouse." Tiandihui invited designers and workers from Lingao Construction Company to build this house for the Fu family according to the drawings of various new rural "houses" in the large library, combined with the specific conditions of the local area.

In addition to living, this house also takes care of side jobs, storage, and processing. The structure is reasonably designed and the space is fully utilized. Whether in terms of practical or residential housing, it is more than 100 years ahead of the most haode landlord's house in Lingao. The most extravagant thing is that there is also a special toilet in the courtyard of this house, not the original dung tank.

Of course, Fu Fuji paid a lot for this house, and the price was not small, so that after the house was built, he was penniless and had to apply for a loan from the Heaven and Earth Society to start production activities.
