Chapter 208: The Grain Warehouse is Full
Behind enemy lines, if a team is self-sufficient without relying on the common people, it will definitely be a great blessing to the common people!
Thinking that now the detachment relies on these hundreds of acres of land, plus chicken farms and rabbit farms, and has barely achieved self-sufficiency without adding a little burden to the villagers in the base area, Zhang Ran was excited!
Not only that, but the detachment's fertilizer plant also filled every household with grain for all the ordinary people in the base area......
That kind of satisfaction simply made Zhang Ranmei's snot bubbles bubble up one after another.
"Oh Captain, can you please stop patronizing the fun yet!"
Wang Changtian said anxiously on the side: "Now it's not a question of whether there is enough food to eat, but whether there is a place to put the food!" ”
This unprecedented harvest has made every household in the base area have a lot of food and have no place to put it, and it is too late to make a cabinet!
Wang Changtian can be sure that the first thing the people have to do after collecting the grain is to carry the grain that cannot be loaded to pay taxes, change fertilizers, and exchange eggs......
When the time comes, the amount of food concentrated in the detachment will definitely be measured in terms of how many tens of thousands of catties!
If there is no place to put so much food, it is good if it does not rain, but when it rains heavily, it will all be lost......
Thinking that so much food might be wasted because there was no place to put it, Wang Changtian's heart hurt like a knife, and he jumped to urge Zhang Ran to think about it.
Zhang Ran, who was patronizing the beauty because he had brought such a big change to the base area, also realized the seriousness of the problem, and pondered for a while: "When the grain in the self-reserved land is harvested, I will ask the soldiers to sort out all the caves left over from the boiling salt in the back mountain and use them as warehouses for storing grain!" ”
"It's already humid in the cave, can you do it?" Wang Changtian said worriedly.
"Get more lime and make a triple floor in the cave, which can easily prevent moisture...... Also, let the kiln factory burn the pottery jar to fill the grain, as long as the grain is not put directly on the ground, it should be much better! ”
Zhang Ran greeted, and at the same time raised his eyebrows and said: "Tell the kiln factory that this kind of clay jar for grain can be burned as much as you can, and if the villagers want it, you can also exchange it for ......."
“……”
Wang Changtian was speechless, and said in his heart that now he was worried that there was too much food to put down, and you still had to burn pottery for food-what are you trying to do?
Zhang Ran did not explain.
He won't tell Wang Changtian that the little devil will never let the current good days around the base last long, he must prepare for the future as soon as possible!
Therefore, the more food in the hands of the detachment, the better!
The taxes that should be handed over to the detachment, and the chemical fertilizers that should be exchanged for grain, the people in the base areas should be very conscious.
But if in addition to this, he dares to try his best to let the people give the detachment food, even if this year's bumper harvest makes many villagers worry that the food at home will not be able to put down, it is estimated that the villagers will scold his mother and will not save face for him at all!
Therefore, he set up a project to concentrate the grain in the hands of the villagers into the detachment, and borrowed a few of his courage, Zhang Ran would never dare to do it, he could only find another way!
Not only must the villagers hand over the food to the detachment, but also the villagers must not find fault!
In this case, he thought of the clay jar, and exchanged the clay jar for more grain and put it in the detachment's warehouse, a little more!
In case it is really difficult in the future, these grains can not only be eaten by themselves, but also help the villagers, and even help the brother troops of the Eighth Route Army!
It seems that Zhang Ran has no need to do this at all.
After all, the grain is in the hands of the villagers themselves, and in the hands of the detachment, and the total amount will not change at all!
But Zhang Ran knows that this is completely different - the food is in the hands of the detachment, that is, to fight the famine in a collective way, which is much stronger than the strength of individuals!
However, Zhang Ran's worries about the future were quickly diluted by the joy of the harvest, and then began to run around the base.
"Oh, when I came here, I was worried that I wouldn't have enough food to eat every day, but now there is too much food, and I'm worried......"
Zhang Ran pulled a few sparse beards on his chin and looked sad, and sighed with a happy look of trouble with his hands behind his back, which made those soldiers and all the people who saw this scene feel happy......
The detachment consisted of hundreds of soldiers, and in less than two days, they harvested the crops in their own fields, and then began to pick up those caves as warehouses according to Zhang Ran's ideas.
At the same time, the two pottery kilns of the kiln factory are also working overtime, and one after another the pottery jars are burned out.
The army of grain delivery arrived as scheduled, and one by one the common people carried the grain they could not pack to pay taxes and exchange fertilizers......
Then they saw that the detachment would hand in the grain handed over in a moderately sized pottery jar and transport it away, and the villagers who were worried that there was too much food at home to fit into the cabinet and it was too late to put it into the cabinet immediately discovered the benefits of the pottery jar, and expressed their willingness to exchange grain for pottery jars to go back to load grain.
In the end, the detachment received more than 2 million catties of grain from the villagers, and only a few hundred thousand catties of grain were obtained from paying taxes.
More than half of them are exchanged for the grain that is fertilized in the spring grain field - you must know that this is because the villagers have deducted part of the chemical fertilizer with their labor points, otherwise there will be more grain for chemical fertilizer!
The exchange of clay jars for grain also helped the detachment accumulate more than 200,000 catties of food!
Wang Changtian looked at the villagers who exchanged grain for pottery jars and their faces were full of joy, and then thought of Zhang Ran's faces when he ordered the pottery jars to be burned before, there was a kind of annoyance that these guys were sold by Zhang Ran and helped Zhang Ran count the money, and said in his heart, these people, are they stupid?
Then he turned around and changed a few clay jars and went home to load grain......
I can't do it, I can't fit it!
Zhang Ran looked at Wang Changtian with a look of depression that he didn't want to be a fool and deceived people and helped people pay money, but he still had to do this, dragging a few pottery jars home, and Le's teeth and flowers came out, and he said that the natives are natives after all, and he shouldn't be fools when he plays with the traverser, is it possible?
And that's not all.
Just after arranging the grain for the villagers in the base area to pay taxes, Ma Chengbang and other landowners came.
But they didn't come to share the dividends of the fertilizer factory where the villagers' grain was exchanged for fertilizer!
"All the grain dividends from our fertilizer factory are replaced with chemical fertilizer - and ah, the grain we brought is also replaced with chemical fertilizer for me!"
Ma Chengbang and the others shouted hurriedly, and then commanded a large group of people to carry piles of grain in......
"How much food can be found in the land reserved for your own family?"
Wang Changtian and Lu Yan asked curiously.
When Zhang Ran was solving the problem of Ma Chengbang and other landlords, his methods were much milder than those used against the Duan family and other landlords in Cangshui.
Although most of the land in the hands of Ma Chengbang and other landlords was distributed to the villagers, it also left these landlords with plenty of land - anyway, it was much more than the land normally distributed to the common people, and there were still certain tax reductions and exemptions.
But even so, Wang Changtian and Lu Yan are sure that relying on their own land in the hands of Ma Chengbang and other landlords alone, it will never be possible to produce so much grain!
The grain brought by this group of landlords was carried by hundreds of people, and it was clearly said that it would take a few days to bring all the grain - the total amount was at least seven or eight hundred thousand catties!
"Director Lu, Secretary Wang, don't ask why we have so much food, hurry up and prepare fertilizer for us - Captain Zhang, he has already agreed!"
Ma Chengbang and the others hurriedly roared: "If it's late, then you won't be able to catch up!" ”
Thinking of their bumper harvest in the experimental fields in various places, which has caused a sensation in the local area, these fertilizers will definitely be robbed wildly when they are transported over, and a group of landlords are happy to come out.
"Brother Ran, you really promised them!"
Lu Yan looked at Zhang Ran and asked, and when she saw Zhang Ran nodding her head, she jumped up anxiously - she never thought that she would be in such a hurry because of too much food!
In fact, the amount of food that has been concentrated in the base area these days has begun to scare her!
"Don't be afraid that we have a lot of food - it won't be long before you understand!!"
Zhang Ran patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and was extremely happy with the obedience of Ma Chengbang and others!
If there is a shortage of warehouses for grain, you can find a way, if there is no grain in the warehouse, then there is really no way!
Not to mention, the grain brought by Ma Chengbang and others was put into the warehouse, which not only allowed the detachment to have more food to deal with the future crisis, but also allowed the villagers from all over the surrounding areas to have another bumper harvest in the early harvest season!
Before the Japanese army starts operating behind enemy lines, this season in the early spring of next year should be the last time for him Zhang Ran to develop wildly for most of the past half a year, and to give the villagers in the base area and surrounding areas the last time to prepare for future crises!
Starting from the second half of next year, all base areas behind enemy lines will face the most difficult period!
When the time comes, the little devils will come over, and the tricks and exploitations, the crazy sweeps, and those inhumane ration policies will make the lives of the ordinary people behind the enemy line worse than death!
With the harvest of this season, as long as these harvested grains do not fall into the hands of the little devils, Zhang Ran believes that the people behind the enemy line here should be able to better face the most difficult period in the history of the Anti-Japanese War!
Moreover, because of the existence of himself and the detachment, Zhang Ran swore that he would never let the little devils run wild here like the other side in history!
No matter what the little devil wants to do at that time, he must first ask himself and his Jindong detachment if they agree!
When Zhang Ran was thinking about these things, Ma Chengbang and other landowners who were originally worried that the detachment would not agree to accept this batch of grain because the warehouse could not be placed, had already smiled, and happily calculated how much they could earn by transporting these fertilizers......
In the end, they were sure that it was no worse than the harvest of their own family!
