It is said that the thirty-eight villagers from Huaji Town did not bring sickles. The monkey said, "Let's go to Wujiaji to find it." The townspeople ran out to hide from the devils and wouldn't take the sickle with them. Find it and use it up, and then return it. ”

With the sickle, seven or eight small boats of the Xianghu Brigade transported everyone to the island in several times, and immediately began to harvest the reeds, and after harvesting for three days, tens of thousands of catties of reeds were transported to the island and piled into several large stacks.

The monkey said, "Brother Wang, have you seen it?" ”

Boss Wei said: "It's almost, it is estimated that a hundred people will eat, enough to burn for more than a year." ”

The monkey said: "The problem of grass has been solved, and there is still the problem of food, without food, how can the Xianghu brigade develop?" ”

Boss Wei said: "When we used to be on the island, we all planted a little by ourselves and then went ashore to raise a little. ”

The monkey smiled: "How to raise it?" Not a big eater? ”

Boss Wei also smiled and said, "Everyone is like this." ”

The monkey said: "Not now, we are the Eighth Route Army, and the military rations can only be raised from two sources, one is captured, and the other is produced by ourselves." We can't watch food hoards starve. ”

Boss Wei said, "Where did the grain hoard come from?" ”

The monkey looked at the vast fields of the island: "This is the grain hoard." How much land can be planted with crops? ”

Boss Wei said: "I haven't measured it specifically, but it is estimated that there are 500 to 600 acres. ”

The monkey said, "There is a way." Huayang walked over. The monkey told Boss Wei and Huayang about his plan. Both agreed.

Zhuqing is handing out wages to everyone. The monkey said, "Everyone has received their wages, come here, and I have something to say to you." ”

After a few days of coming out, everyone earned two oceans, and they died of joy, and when they heard the monkey's call, they soon all gathered around: "Is there anything else good?" ”

The monkey said, "Don't look at me, look back, look at this land, what do you think of this land?" Can I grow crops? ”

These villagers are all croppers, and when they grab the soil and look at it, they immediately know that the highlands in the lake are all alluvial during flooding, and they are not sticky or sandy, and are the most suitable for farming. They all said, "There is nothing to say about planting crops in this land." ”

The monkey said, "How much grain can be harvested per mu of land in a normal year?" ”

Everyone calculated that it would not be less than three hundred catties.

The monkey said, "How do you divide the land that you rent from the big farmers?" ”

They said, "It's usually 55 percent." A particularly good owner will also be divided into four or six, four for the owner and six for the tenant. ”

The monkey said, "We now have nearly 600 acres of land on the island, and we want to hire everyone to plant it, and in the first year, that is, this year, we will divide it into 19 percent, and next year we will share it 28 percent, will anyone come to plant?" ”

Someone said, "Brother Monkey, you can't just talk about playing, do you?" ”

Huayang said: "The monkey's words are not counted? Haven't you got both oceans? ”

The man said, "We don't believe in such a good thing." ”

Boss Wei said: "This is a good thing to find you." If you don't want to, we'll go to Wujiaji to find someone to plant. ”

They said, "Who wouldn't?" We're scared ......."

The monkey said, "What are you afraid of?" I'm afraid we don't talk a lot, do we? If you're afraid, don't plant it, and don't regret it when the time comes. ”

Someone said, "I planted this land." ”

Everybody said, "We plant." ”

The people who are willing to bury the corpses of the devils are poor people who are helpless, and half of the harvest from the land they rent to plant is taken away by the owner, and they are busy all year round, and they still can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes. If you plant ten acres of land here, the family won't go hungry.

But there are also some people who are hesitating, ten acres of land need one or two hundred catties of seeds, where does this kind of seed come from?

The monkey said, "We know that some brothers want to plant the land, but they can't get the seeds. It doesn't matter, we'll lend you the seeds first, and then you can give them back to us after the autumn harvest. Is that okay? ”

They said, "That's great." ”

The monkey said, "There must be a rule for everything, and there must be a rule for us in this matter, and now I will announce a few rules."

"The first is secrecy. We are the garrison of the Eighth Route Army here, and we can't say anything about the situation here, even if it's what a grass looks like. If anyone leaks the secret, we will immediately take back the land. If any loss is caused, we will be punished as a traitor.

"Secondly, plant good crops, if there is abandonment, or poor management, the ground is full of weeds, resulting in a decrease in yield, we will give your land to someone else to plant next year. Can you do these two?

Everyone said, "It can be done!" ”

The monkey said, "Okay, do you want to go back and discuss it with your family?" ”

Everyone said, "We are all family, and we don't need to discuss what we say." ”

The monkey said, "Well, you all think about it, choose a leader, and if there is anything, we will find the leader." We also have a man in charge of this. ”

The monkey said, "Brother Wei, who do you think is in charge of this?" ”

Boss Wei said: "Let Tian Bao take care of this, this kid is real." Tian Bao, come here. Tian Bao ran over.

The monkey said: "This is our Comrade Tian Bao, he is the director of our production department, Director Tian." If you have something, just find Director Tian. Have you chosen your guys? ”

The villagers elected a man named Kim Dae-sung.

The monkey said, "You are all members of the production team of our Xianghuhu Brigade, and you will take care of the crops and nothing else." Brother Kim Dae-sung is the captain of the production team. He has the right to tell you to plant the land well, to praise you, and to criticize you. ”

Someone said, "We listen to Kim Dae-sung at home." ”

The monkey said: "Jin Dacheng himself wants to farm the land, and he has to run errands and serve everyone, how can everyone compensate him?" ”

Someone said, "We give him a pound of grain per acre." ”

The monkey said, "Do you think it's okay?" ”

They said, "Okay! Agree! ”

The monkey said, "Brother Jin Dacheng, what do you mean?" ””

Kim Dae-sung said: "Forget about the grain, don't want it." ”

The monkey said: "This is the responsibility, if the production is not done well, it is your responsibility, if something goes wrong, we will ask you." You must have this food. ”

The monkey said to everyone again, "Brother Jin said he didn't want this food. If he doesn't want food, he won't be pressured, he won't try his best to do things for everyone, can you agree? ”

They said, "No, this food is necessary." ”

The monkey said, "Brother Dacheng, everyone insists on giving it, so you can agree." ”

Kim Dae-sung said, "Okay, I promise." ”

The monkey said: "Finally, I announce one thing, our Xianghu brigade will take out sixteen oceans as a reward after the autumn harvest is over. The two households with the highest yield per mu will be rewarded with three oceans, "those who rank three, four, five or six will be rewarded with two oceans, and those who rank seven, eighty or ninety will be rewarded with one ocean." ”

Someone shouted, "Is this true?" ”

The monkey said, "Is it true, after the autumn harvest." You'll find out. ”

Someone said, "How can we calculate the yield if the crops are different?" The monkey said, "It can be converted to the market price." ”

One named *** said, "We did this." When I came out of the house, there were magpies chirping in the trees, and I knew that something good was going on. ”
