Wu Jintang laughed as soon as he heard this name, and said to Chai Dongliang in a low voice: "This is our factory, which is supporting the three-core socket factory, just in Anqing City, the governor is busy, and I didn't tell you about these small things about running a branch factory." ”

Chai Dongliang's face turned cold: "Are all the factories in our Wuhu Industrial Park like this?" Go to work at 5 a.m. and leave work at 7 p.m.? ”

Wu Jintang nodded and said: "Yes, it's all this rule, not only our factory, but also the whole of Anhui, and the factory in Shanghai is also this rule." ”

Chai Dongliang smiled bitterly: "This worker is too bitter. ”

Wu Jintang deeply agreed: "Our Chinese workers are really good, no matter how hard and tired they are, they won't make trouble. ”

Chai Dongliang's face sank and said: "The owner of many bastards treats people as cattle!" Even if it's an animal, you know to let them rest and don't get tired. ’

The voice of this sentence was not loud, but the tone was already very heavy, and Wu Jintang knew that Chai Dongliang must be angry.

The old man who sold wontons also heard Chai Dongliang's words, and immediately retorted: "This lord, I don't like to hear what you say, what is this young man's strength?" You went to inquire, how many factories in Anhui do we have that pay wages? Other factories are at most full of food, but the factory where my two children work is even five dollars a month! My wife and I sell wontons, and we can't even earn a dollar a month when we get up early and stay late???? It's hard to find such a good owner with a lantern, I know you feel sorry for us poor, but let's die??? It's okay in the city, even if you ask for food, you can live, you haven't been to the country, have you? There are many people who sell children and daughters! ”

Chai Dongliang was speechless for a moment, you must know that it is impossible to be lazy for a moment to work on the assembly line, otherwise the next process will not work. More than ten hours of high-intensity labor a day, even if such conditions will make ordinary people feel very satisfied.

"Old man, isn't this countryside also undergoing land reform? It's better to divide the land! Chai Dongliang said after a while, he didn't understand whether he was comforting the old man or comforting himself by saying this.

The old man shook his head and said: "If you want to talk about our governor of Anhui, that is not said, who dares to say that it is not good to divide the land to the poor?" In fact, some of the people who fled to the city did not have land in the countryside, but they did not plant the land??? You've never been to the country, so you don't know how you're living there. Sensei said that there is no land, even if it is divided into two acres of land, it can't take care of the family's food and drink, and in a good year, half a year of melons and vegetables and half a year of grain, if there is a disaster, the field can only be abandoned, and the whole family goes to the city to beg for food??? Our Anhui is good, the Governor's Mansion has built more than a dozen porridge sheds in the city, and you can't see people starving to death on the street, you go to Jiangxi and Henan to see, where it is said that the countryside, and no one collects the corpses of people who starve to death in the provincial capital??? Hey, we ordinary people, this life is thinner than a blade of grass, and it is said that it is thicker than a leaf (sorrowful)! ”

Chai Dongliang has been in the mood for a long time, could it be that he made a mistake in land reform? In another time and space, Taiwan and the common people had a full meal after the land reform, so why didn't the same method work in Anhui?

After thinking about it for a long time, Chai Dongliang suddenly realized that the land reform in Ben and Taiwan was only after World War II, and the seeds were all bred by improved seeds, and there were chemical fertilizers to increase production, as well as pesticides to deal with pests and diseases, and there were water conservancy projects built by the political axe in a unified manner, so a small area of cultivated land can also guarantee income. At present, Anhui peasants have a yield of only 300 catties per mu of fine Tianzihao paddy fields, and the output of ordinary medium-sized dry fields is only more than 100 catties.

Even if a family of four people is concerned, if there are only three or five acres of land, they can barely be half starved and half full in a good year. Land reform alone cannot solve the problem of feeding the common people, and the progress of agricultural science and the improvement of production methods absolutely cannot be ignored.

Any reform is a big project, and it is definitely not as simple as it is in the novel.

The old man's words made the originally lively scene suddenly cool down, Song Jiaoren, Yang Shiqi and others usually said that they were concerned about national affairs, and they had never seen how poor the lives of ordinary people were.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat, the wontons won't taste good when they're cold, I'm also old and talkative, and a few masters are surprised." The old man added a scoop of cold water to the pot.

A few people ate a few bites indiscriminately, Fang Qingyu took out a piece of foreign money and handed it to the old man, and the old man said embarrassedly: "I can't afford to find such a big money." ”

Chai Dongliang said casually: "No need to look for it." ”

The old man was overjoyed, hurriedly put it to his mouth and blew it, and laughed when he heard the pleasant buzzing sound: "Our Anhui's foreign money is good, and the color is good and the weight is enough." ”

There was a sound of broken footsteps in the corner of the wall, Fang Qingyu vigilantly put his hand on the handle of the gun, and turned his face to see that it was a woman with a warm filial piety and a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Uncle, can you enjoy the hot soup? The child was so cold that he couldn't sleep, and he kept shouting that he was hungry. The woman said timidly.

The old man glanced at her, scooped up the ladle noodle soup and poured it into the bowl, sighed and said, "This child is still growing his body and bones, and he has no food in his stomach, isn't he afraid of the cold?" Two bowls of porridge a day and peeing are gone??? What a wickedness! ”

The child drank a bowl of noodle soup, but his eyes stared directly at Chai Dongliang eating the remaining half bowl of wontons.

Before Chai Dongliang could speak, Mo Xiaolian pushed his bowl to the child: "Eat my sister's, this bowl hasn't been moved yet, it's clean." ”

The child took the bowl and devoured it, and ate a large bowl of wontons in two bites, and the woman thanked her with tears in her eyes. Chai Dongliang said to the old man: "Cook him another bowl, count it in." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "The foreign money that the master rewarded just now is enough for as many bowls as he wants, how can he still ask for money from you?" With that, he opened the lid of the pot again and threw a dozen wontons into it.

After fishing it out, the old man deliberately fished out a bone with meat from the soup pot and stacked it on top of the bowl, and said to himself: "Poor child, let alone eating meat, I'm afraid I haven't eaten lard a few times since I came out of my mother's womb, right?" This little pig still has three points of chaff on his head, why is this God so cruel to people? ”

After the child had eaten two, he pushed the bowl to the woman: "Mother, you eat, it's delicious." ”

The woman laughed while crying, "Mother is not hungry, the dog can eat it by himself." ”

Wu Meiqi took out a piece of foreign money from her purse, handed it to the old man, and said, "Regardless of whether they are full." ”

The old man excused himself again and again: "Don't you dare to accept the young lady's money anymore, why can't you eat the money rewarded by the master, isn't it just a bowl of wontons?" Wu Meiqi couldn't help but stuff it into the old man's hand, the old man half-pushed and half-put it into his arms, hurriedly threw dozens of wontons into the pot, and then asked: "I said, when will it be your turn to divide the field?" This is better than Tian Yuezi. At least collect a few buckets of millet to pull the child up. ”

The woman sighed and said, "We orphans and widows, even if we divide the fields, no one will plant them, and besides, the people from the government will say that the people who helped defend the city last time will divide the fields, and we will wait for the future??? I don't know if it's three years or five years! ”

Anhui implements a progressive land tax system, people with more land pay more taxes, and people with less land do not pay taxes, and the implementation time is not long, there are not many people who are willing to exchange land for stocks and bonds, only officials and parliamentarians have no choice but to hand over the land in order to keep their official posts and parliamentarian status, but there are too many monks and few porridges, and they can only immediately settle the eliminated soldiers and the displaced people around Anqing and Wuhu, as well as the people who helped defend the city last time.

The old woman called her son up to work, and then twisted her little feet and walked back, and when she saw that the woman and the child were eating wontons, and were about to have a seizure, the old man hurriedly said, "Those masters are kind enough to reward them with a bowl of food." ”

The old woman turned her anger into joy, and then sighed: "I said this girl, you are young and have a child, what should you do in the future?" It's better to simply find someone to marry, and also find a bowl of rice for the children. ”

The woman shook her head and said: "I understand the kindness of my aunt, this child's father was killed by the government, he died miserably, not even a whole corpse was left behind, he died for our mother, I can't stop him if I say anything, I have to bring up the child when I beg for food." As he spoke, he touched his heart, and he couldn't cry for a while.

Chai Dongliang was a little strange and asked, "How did this child's father die?" How can there be no dead body? ”

Anhui's punishment has been reformed, abolishing tortures such as Ling Chi and beheading, and changing corporal punishment such as beating a board to imprisonment, and the death penalty is only one kind of hanging, even if a crime is killed, he will not end up in a different place.

When the woman heard him ask, she wept to death, and the child lost her job, and hugged her mother and wept.

The old woman chattered: "This child's father was killed by the county master of Dangtu County, and even his stomach was dissected." That's a miserable one! ”

Chai Dongliang's fire came up, he had obviously abolished the death penalty of beheading and stabbing the heart, how could the county magistrate of Tu County dare to use torture such as disembowelment to kill people?

"When the county governor of Tu County, the dog is too bold! I'm going to take him! Fang Qingyu gritted his teeth and said.

Although the old man is a wonton seller, what kind of character has he not seen guarding this embroidered brocade street? I have long felt that Chai Dongliang and these people must be high-ranking officials, and the trouble is not even bigger than the officials of the county master. Busy said: "If the masters are really kind, they will help this big sister find an old mother's job to do, so as to bring up the child." ”

Yang Shiqi pointed at Chai Dongliang and said: "This matter is wrapped up in my brother, he knows a lot of rich people, and he will definitely be able to help their orphans and widows find a way to live." ”

After hearing this, the woman hurriedly pulled her son to kowtow to Chai Dongliang, and was helped up by Chai Dongliang.

"This lord, it's not that the county master is ruthless, it's that our boss has violated the king's law??? He killed! The woman whispered.

Chai Dongliang said coldly: "Even if you violate the royal law, there is no reason to open other people's stomachs?" Whose law is this kind of torture? ”

The woman sobbed and began to babble.

Chai Dongliang and the others were full of anger at first, and finally they all changed to thick sadness, and the two girls, Mo Xiaolian and Wu Meiqi, cried silently.

Chai Dongliang said sharply: "Fang Qingyu, you can arrange someone to go to Tu County now and transfer all the files to me??? As Tu's county governor, let him continue to do it! ”

Fang Qingyu nodded and ordered the guards.

After Chai Dongliang finished speaking, he said with a gloomy expression: "Our Chinese people are really poor, the people's livelihood is really hard, and the government is really a bastard!" ”
