Chapter 122: Landlords and Landlords
Tan Lian was about to ask Peng Lingte why he jumped into the sea, when the door of the ward was pushed open again, and this time it was a locally hired nurse who came in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These nurses are basically local women who have no skills, they are more powerful than the elders, they can work, but they can't learn to work as nurses, they tremble when they see that they want to poke needles at people's bodies, no one dare, but Dongmei, who was born as a maid, has no problem at all, and now she is particularly numb with injections and medicine for bandages.
The nurse who came in was a woman in her forties, and when she saw a female chief asking, she bowed slightly to the female chief, and then walked over with a few washed clothes and put them at the head of Peng Lingte's bed.
Peng Lingte knew at a glance that it was his own clothes, and there was a neatly folded towel on the top of the clothes at this time, and the red words on it "Commemoration of the first sale of the Senate Lottery" looked a little dazzling in front of his eyes at this time. Only then did he remember that he had lost all the money he had come to buy food, and his eyes did not immediately dim.
Tan Lian is also a person who has experienced the crazy era of domestic lotteries, how could he not guess what happened? At this time, she didn't break it, but asked softly, "Is there anyone else in the family?" ”
Peng Lingte's tears fell suddenly, and while crying, he was telling how he came to Dongfang Harbor yesterday, and how he used the money he was going to use to buy food to buy lottery tickets like crazy.
Tan Lian and Tian Yani, who gave anti-inflammatory injections to the wounded on the side, were stunned when they heard it, both of them knew about the madness of lottery tickets sold yesterday, and I heard that under such madness, several people who bought lottery tickets became destitute, but many buyers became small-rich. Under the premise that the lottery company is not a ghost, this thing is really luck, especially when I heard that Peng Lingte touched the five yuan and ten yuan prize tickets several times and became penniless in the end, the two women sighed and shook their heads.
"And what are you going to do?" Tan Lian asked casually.
This sentence immediately stunned Peng Lingte, yes, what should I do? Yesterday I came here to buy rice but couldn't buy it, and the last bit of money in the family was spoiled by myself, and now I have no money to buy rice, and my mother should have been hungry for a day at this time. His tears came out as soon as he brushed it, and he couldn't help but hug the quilt and cry.
"What are you crying about when a manly man stands up to the sky?" Tian Yani looked like she hated that iron could not become steel, put the two syringes that had been beaten into the plate, picked them up and walked out. The current industrial system of the Senate could not support the use of disposable syringes, and all needles and syringes had to be sterilized with steam for repeated use.
was criticized by the woman he looked down on before, Peng Lingte was even more eager to find a crack to get into at this time, but what else could he do but cry at the moment?
"What about you, let me ask you!" Tan Lian then asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"I don't know......" Peng Lingte replied weakly.
"Your family is a small landowner, so have you ever read? Do you know words? Tan Lian asked some more questions.
Peng Lingte was admitted to Xiucai, and he had a meritorious reputation, and his confidence was enough at once, and he nodded at Tan Lian and said, "Although I am poor at this time, I have read a lot of books, and I have a meritorious reputation at this time." ”
"Famous?" Tan Lian said curiously, there are not many people who are famous among the clerks in Dongfang Port at the moment, most of them are poor and destitute, and the saying that knowledge changes fate is not very effective in the old time and space, let alone in this new time and space where the rampant relationship is intricate. "What fame?"
Peng Lingte couldn't help but say with some pride, "The talent of the three years of the Apocalypse. ”
"Oh," Tan Lian nodded, "The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman can't win the ambition, as a showman, you actually went to jump into the sea because you lost the money in the lottery, and let your own mother starve and worry about your safety, you are not what a scholar should do!" ”
Peng Lingte couldn't help but be stunned, he always felt that women are at home with children to do housework, and women are virtuous if they are not talented, but the woman in front of him is really right, she has studied hard for ten years, and her family has spent so much money to support herself, so she finally got a show. The mother has not enjoyed the blessings, and she has not even hugged her grandson, but she jumped into the sea because she lost the money in the lottery, if she died, wouldn't her mother be heartbroken? This is a great unfilial piety in the world!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow his head in shame and sighed, "I don't want to do it anymore, but now I have no money, and I'm afraid I can only starve to death when I get home." ”
"Money is not everything, and the future is everything," a voice came from the door, Tian Yani appeared at the door again, the head nurse who was 1.6 meters tall was still wearing the nurse's uniform at this time, wearing a nurse's hat on her head, and still wearing a big mask on her face, but she walked over with two silver dollars in her hand and put them next to Peng Lingte's pillow. "Money is endless, but there is only one life, if life is gone, then you have nothing; As long as you are alive and willing to struggle, there is nothing you can't do. What is money? Spend and earn! ”
Peng Lingte felt that the whole person was stimulated at this time, yes, he jumped into the sea in despair, if he died, there would be nothing, the fame he had obtained would be in vain, his mother was gone, and the bloodline of the Peng family would be cut off when he came to him. There is no greater unfilial piety in the world than this. But...... This money...... What does it mean?
"The gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to him, please ...... this money" Before Peng Lingte's words were finished, he was interrupted by Tian Yani, "Woo, you're big!" Where did I get my food? This is a loan to you, but you will have to repay it in the future, and you will have to calculate the interest, I am not a good person, find something to do, and strive to repay me as soon as possible. ”
Peng Lingte immediately remembered the high salary of hiring short-term workers this year, and couldn't help but talk about the problem of short-term labor shortage.
Tan Lian suddenly looked at Tian Yani, "Do you think our Ministry of Agriculture will take their land?" You can also do a demonstration project. ”
Tian Yani thought for a while, "You still have to ask Executive Committee Sun about this matter, after all, he is in charge of the agricultural department, but I have heard someone mention that now the Agricultural Committee wants to find a business landlord to cooperate with the pilot, I don't know if I have found it now." ”
Tan Lian stood up, carefully inquired about Peng Lingte's address, and sent a naturalized policeman who was standing guard outside to send him to buy grain first, and then send him home, while he went to the Agricultural Committee.
The Committee of Agriculture is now very busy, and the first crop is about to be harvested, Sun Wenbin did not expect that the soil fertility here in Annan is so good, and there is no winter, and the growth momentum of those crops is very gratifying. He had examined the growth of potatoes in several potato fields, and it was almost perfectly explained. The only fly in the ointment is that potatoes are not a staple food at this time, and it would be good if they could eat potatoes as a meal like the Germans, otherwise it is estimated that this output will not be eaten this year if they are used as vegetables.
However, he has plans for the future of these potatoes, and at this time he is talking to the two naturalized apprentices around him, "Potatoes are treasures, and its main advantage is high-quality starch, these potato starches can be used for almost all work, can be mixed into flour to make pasta, can be used in the paper mill to improve the viscosity of the pulp and increase the quality of the paper, and can also be used for the sizing of cotton yarn, wool fabric and rayon fabric, so as to enhance and maintain the friction resistance and finish of the warp yarn when weaving." Yarn sizing with potato starch has another advantage in that it can be dyed to obtain a bright color. Cotton textiles combed with potato starch have a good feel and smooth surface, which is very important for our textile industry. ”
Seeing that the apprentices' eyes were full of little stars, he smiled and continued: "Of course, the biggest use of potatoes is to eat, they can be boiled or burned, I don't know if you have ever eaten shredded potatoes and mashed potatoes, they are both made of potatoes, but the taste is two completely different tastes......"
The two apprentices shook their heads again and again, before this, these two fourteen or sixteen little boys even had a full meal, where did they still have the idea of pursuing deliciousness? Looking at their body shape at this time, the effects of hunger in the early years are still fermenting, and they have been eating high-protein food in Dongfang Harbor for almost two months, and they are still serving the table every day to clean the food on the table.
"Sun Wenbin!" There was a shout in the distance, Sun Wenbin couldn't help squinting his eyes and looked over, Tan Lian was wearing a black police uniform standing on the ground, and there was a big boy about fifteen years old beside him, Sun Wenbin, who was the executive committee, knew that this child was the eldest son of Niu Dazhuang in Beiqiaotou Town, called Niu Qun, this father and son Gui Niu Dazhuang had moved to the naturalized dormitory area of Dongfang Port at this time, and divided a house. You must know that his eldest son Niu Qun is now Tan Lian's follower, who is responsible for identifying thieves, and his monthly salary is one and a half; The youngest son Newton is now the apprentice of Bao Bao Dao, although there is no salary, but Bao Bao likes this smart and clever child very much, every month is to give him two yuan of pocket money, Niu Dazhuang is now working at the dock, there are more than two yuan a month, his wife is now working as a nurse in the hospital, there is a salary of more than one yuan a month, and now the black man who was in Beiqiaotou Town with a dog baby to carry the work is busy on the dock with a happy smile at this time, full of gratitude and love for Dongfang Port.
"Miss Tan?" Sun Wenbin ran over quickly, carefully avoiding the potato branches in the field along the way, "What's the matter?" ”
"I remember the last time you said you were looking for a business landlord, right?" Tan Lian asked directly.
Sun Wenbin was stunned, the Committee of Agriculture has such a plan, at this stage, there are two kinds of landlords in the Anyun land boundary, one is a business landlord, who mainly farms his own land to support himself; The other is the tenant landlords, who rent the land and then collect the rent. The Senate did not like such landlords in comparison to the tenants, who were essentially equivalent to leeches attached to the tenants, and who made money by sucking their harvest, because they tied the peasants to the land they rented out, and often did not care about the life or death of the tenants in order to obtain greater profits. Therefore, the resolution of the Committee of Agriculture is to support the management landlords and thus crack down on the tenant landlords.
