The landlord class is hated not only because they own a large amount of land and live on the rents of the long-term tenants who rent their fields, like vampire parasites.
What's more, not only the fields, but also the surrounding mountains and forests belong to his family!
No matter where you dig a few hoes, it is still his landlord's family, and he has the right to ask you for rent, and the most excessive thing is that if the landlord is unhappy, you go up the mountain to chop a few firewood and hug a few handfuls of dead leaves, he has enough reasons to jump out and talk to you!
If someone dies in the family and the landlord does not agree, you will not be able to bury it!
That feeling is like being born on the ground, but there is no place to stand - do you say you are angry?
Although this time he fought the landlord, Ma Chengbang sent Zhang Ran as a begging for food, and it seemed that he was playing Zhang Ran ruthlessly, but one thing is very important!
That is, Ma Chengbang didn't dare to turn his face!
If he doesn't dare to turn his face, it is equivalent to admitting that he can't afford to provoke the Eighth Road, and he can't afford to provoke the Eighth Road, which means that he acquiesces to the fact that the surrounding area of Yanggou Village is the territory of Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment!
In the past, villagers had to get Ma Chengbang's consent to do whatever they wanted to do in the surrounding mountains, let alone find a place to build a house.
And now that Zhang Ran is building the headquarters, it is not so troublesome.
Choosing an open land on the edge of the village and backed by mountains and forests, Zhang Ran beckoned the villagers to start construction immediately.
Since it is a headquarters, it is similar to a military facility, and it is not possible to simply build a small thatched hut with the villagers, but it is necessary to consider secrecy and solidity.
The villagers are in full swing digging earth and laying stone foundations, some people go up the mountain to cut trees as beams, some people are burning tiles with mud, and they build houses with the method of building soil into walls, and the tiles on them are protected from rain.
The lighting of the earthen wall house is not very good, but the sturdiness is guaranteed, and the cost is low and fast, which is what Zhang Ran values the most.
"This house must be magnificent!"
"That's, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Ma Chengbang's mansion......"
The villagers were talking and envious while working, but fortunately, Zhang Ran has now established enough authority in the village, and there are more than 1,000 catties of grain and eggs and the like to protect it, otherwise ordinary people can't afford to think of such a big house.
The only thing that the villagers couldn't figure out was that they didn't know what Zhang Ran was doing in the few low houses independent of the courtyard on the periphery of the house that was used as the headquarters-those houses Zhang Ran only required one person to be tall, and there was no tiles and thatched roofs on them.
Of course, it was built up as a chicken farm!
Zhang Ran snorted, and said in his heart that he had more than 700 fertilized eggs, and there were so many cheap laborers who were satisfied with only two meals, if he didn't open a chicken farm to develop financial resources, would he be worthy of himself?
"What is a chicken farm?"
After all, many people have one or two chickens at home, which are used to lay eggs to improve life and increase nutrition, or to exchange for some pocket flowers, but they don't know what's going on in chicken farms.
They don't have the concept of centralized large-scale farming at all.
Hearing Zhang Ran say that he was going to raise chickens in these houses and that he was going to raise pigs on a large scale in the future, the villagers were shocked: "There are so many chickens and so many pigs, how much food do you have to feed?" There is not enough food in this field! β
"You don't have to worry about this, this captain has his own way!"
Zhang Ran is unpredictable, and his heart says that there is such a thing as feed in this world, do I have a way to explain it to you? Even if I did, would you understand?
The composition of the feed, of course, also requires a lot of grain.
However, after scientific proportioning, it can make the livestock fatten quickly, and the output far exceeds the input!
Moreover, livestock manure is also an excellent fertilizer, which can increase grain production and is a virtuous ecological cycle.
Not to mention, the manure of livestock is still the raw material for the production of nitrate by the soil method, although it is not as large as the output of cave nitrate, but it is better in a steady stream, unlike cave nitrate, it is a hammer deal, and it is gone after boiling!
Although Zhang Ran is a fake Eight Roads, even if it is a fake Eight Roads, it is also in the name of Eight Roads, so you can't just think about life, but also have to take into account the armed struggle - you can't really run into the ravine as soon as the little devil and traitor come, right?
Even if you really can't go into the ravine, at least you have to pretend to come a few times, noβpretend to come a few times, then there has to be something going on!
Now there are three guns in the team, including a shotgun, because of this shotgun, Zhang Ran had to give him the best 38 cover under the coercion of Wang Laogui, and directly made him the squad leader......
Now that they are all aggrieved to this, if there is really a devil and traitor in the future?
Nitrate can only be used as black powder, and the power of black powder is small...... But how much can you hear a sound of smoke to scare people, right? If you're lucky, you'll be able to make some noise, right?
And as far as Zhang Ran knows, at this stage, the Eighth Route is still using black powder to scare people, and the real Eighth Route is still organized and has a team, what qualifications does he have to dislike this fake Eighth Road?
In short, he must do it, he must do it!
Of course, Zhang Ran couldn't explain these things to the villagers, so he could only plan step by step - if the people knew that they were the eight roads, and they even had to think of their own basic weapons and equipment, it would be strange if they didn't lose confidence in him.
"Look at Captain Zhang's sassy look!"
"There are hundreds of eggs that can hatch chicks, and there are hundreds of chicks - does he have so many old hens?"
Zhang Ran's appearance obviously annoyed the villagers, and they secretly talked behind their backs, ready to wait to see Zhang Ran's joke that he couldn't find the old hen to hatch eggs.
The advantage of the earthen wall house is that the cost is low and fast, but there is also a point, that is, after the earthen wall is built, you have to wait for the wall to dry before you can go on the beams and tiles, etc., otherwise the wall is easy to deform after being heavily pressed because of the moisture it contains, and finally there is even the possibility of collapse.
Therefore, even though the villagers were outnumbered and strong, the walls were built in just two days, but they could not be roofed.
However, Zhang Ran's days of living in Lu Yan's pigsty are over.
Because although the headquarters house is still drying the wall and cannot be occupied, the chicken farm has already been built - the walls of the chicken farm are much shorter, and the thatched roof does not bear much load, so there is no need to worry too much about the collapse.
At this moment, Zhang Ran was directing the plasterers to work in one of the chicken farms that had been built, building something similar to an earthen kang.
"Captain Zhang, are you still going to live here? It's not that this is a chicken farm, why are you still putting on a kang and ......pinching it," the villagers asked with a smile and a strange smile.
"What is a kang called? It's called a conservatory! β
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes angrily and said, "This is for hatching chicks!" β
"What, are you really going to climb on the kang and be an old hen to hatch chicks?"
One of the villagers asked, and then everyone laughed exaggeratedly.
"Get out, get out of the way and get to work - no matter how lazy you are, our detachment won't have food at night!"
Zhang Ran scolded stupidly, saying that he couldn't communicate with a group of ordinary people who didn't have much knowledge.
As soon as they heard the word "no matter what to eat", the villagers immediately ran away, putting on a sweaty appearance, for fear that Zhang Ran would be angry and really not take care of everyone's food.
"Brother Ran......"
While eating, Lu Yan secretly found Zhang Ran and said, "If it goes on like this, our food won't last for a few days......"
The villagers all thought that Zhang Ran and they went to Ma Chengbang's house and carried back 2,000 catties of grain, which was not enough, and they could carry it again, plus the previous hundreds of catties of grain, the food was simply too much to eat.
But what the facts, only Zhang Ran and a dozen other people know that there are less than 1,000 catties of grain in total, and now there are 50 or 60 people in the whole village, and they are making a lot of food every day, and everyone gets at least two catties of grain a day.
After two days, I ate a small half!
"Why don't you just eat it all thin? Other families invite people to work, and they are all porridge ......"
Lu Yan discussed for Zhang Ran's sake, after all, although the large frame of this house has been built, the work such as burning tiles is still going on, and a large number of people will have to be employed in the future, plus Wang Laogui, Wang Wenping, Wang Kai and Zhang Ran themselves, they have to stare at these grains every day to eat, so how long can they eat hundreds of catties of grain?
"Don't be afraid!"
Zhang Ran pinched his chin and said, "If my estimate is correct, in two days, we will have a lot of food!" β
"Captain, are we going out to fight the landlord again?"
As soon as they heard this, Wang Laogui and Wang Wenping, the three crooked melons and cracked dates, came over with an excited face, and their saliva was dripping - at Ma Chengbang's house, although the three of them ate only leftovers, they still have endless aftertaste!
According to statistics, in addition to Ma Chengbang, a big landlord, there are more than a dozen small landlords in the surrounding area, and there are even more rich peasants......
Even if you don't count as rich peasants, if you only go to fight those small landlords, and eat a meal with big fish and meat, you can eat it for more than ten days, and maybe you can gain a few catties of meat!
Thinking of these, not only Wang Laogui and others, but also Wang Changtian and other villagers were salivating a few feet long!
"Go out and fight the landlord? When our Jindong detachment has nothing to do? We have so much work now, and we are very busy! β
Zhang Ran snorted coldly: "After tomorrow, I don't think we need to go out to fight the landlords, but those landlords will send them to fight for us, save time and effort!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Ran with a stupid expression, and said in their hearts that those small landlords are stupid, and they can't fit in their homes with a lot of money and food? Will they send them to the door to fight their landlords?
This kind of contemptuous look made Zhang Ran very unhappy, and felt that the majesty of his captain was offended, and said stupidly: "If you don't believe it, let's wait and see-or let's make a bet, if I win, you will finish the headquarters for me in vain, if I lose, you will eat me for nothing, you don't have to help our Jindong detachment work for ten days, dare not!" β
"Bet!"
The villagers shouted in unison, excited, looking at Zhang Ran's eyes, it was more like looking at a big fool!
Even Wang Wenping's expression when he looked at Zhang Ran was full of pride, and he had a sense of superiority in IQ!
