Autumn is a harvest season, but for Chinese farmers, this is also a time of joy and sorrow, although the harvest is happy, but most of the harvest is definitely not a comfortable thing to be taken away by the government, which is a true portrayal of the mood of the vast majority of farmers on Chinese land.

However, in the land under the rule of the mountain villages, the peasants did not have such troubles, and the peasants only had to hand over 20 percent of the harvest as a grain endowment, which was simply weak compared to the previous grain harvest ratio of 50 or even 6 or 7 percent. Moreover, in addition to these two percent of the grain, the mountain villages will also buy the surplus grain in the hands of the peasants at a price slightly higher than the market price, and the vast number of farmers express their great preference for such purchases.

On the surface, such an acquisition will cost a lot of money in the mountain villages, but the industrial and administrative population of the mountain villages is now detached from agricultural production, and it is very dangerous not to control a large amount of grain in the mountain villages' own strategic reserve grain depots; At the same time, this also directly stabilized the overall grain price on the land under his rule, making it difficult for both outside grain dealers and local landlords to grasp the circulation channels to depress prices in disguise and deprive the peasants of grain.

And if there are outsiders who want to do anything by sending large quantities of food to mountain villages...... Hmph, Deng Shifeng will never refuse such a stupid means from the other party; Don't forget, the price of the mountain village purchase is slightly higher, but the purchase settlement is not in cash but in the new version of the paper money under the mountain village, the value and scope of use of these banknotes can only be limited to the mountain village rule, anyone who intends to use a large amount of grain to hold so many banknotes without using it...... That's either brain-dead or really wants to contribute to the economic development of the mountain village......

Everything has its two sides, and some people in mountain villages are happy with the income and appeasement of the people at the bottom, and some people are unhappy, and these unhappy people are mainly concentrated in the original large landlords in various regions; As mentioned earlier, the loss of distribution channels and the channels for the government and merchants to collude with the government and merchants to exploit the people at the bottom have deprived them of a large amount of income and the opportunity to control the people at the bottom, and this result is unbearable for these landlords.

It's just unbearable and you have to hold it honestly, Qin Er, these people who have been oppressed by the government and these big landlords for a long time in the early years are now turning over and singing, and they have a natural hatred for these big landlords, and they are worried that there is no reason to clean up these big households, if you dare to jump out...... Hey......

The landlord of the Xu family in Taiping Village is one of the households with such troubles, and Xu Futian, the head of the Xu family, is sitting in his own courtyard with a worry, smoking a dry tobacco pouch silently, looking at the barn that is not very full......

"Daddy, look at how you live this day, this is how you can live, this little food is just harvested......"

Xu Futian's small-mouthed wife pursed her signature little mouth, expressing that she was extremely unhappy with her man's work this year; The barn that could be filled in previous years can only be half filled now, how can she, who is used to repairing the barn every year, endure such a big drop......

However, Xu Futian didn't pay attention to her, he was upset that he couldn't hear it, and as a result, he his mother-in-law. Xu Futian's mother-in-law doesn't look at her small mouth, but the harsh words she spits out are famous in all ten miles and eight villages.

"Pump, pump!! You know all day long that you smoke and smoke waste, let you work and you can't do it, last year you lost dozens of acres of land and this year you can't harvest grain, let you raise the rent this don't dare to be afraid, all day long you don't think about smoking on which little scratching girl's skin or holding a cigarette bag to smoke, you say what else can you do with this waste......"

"Shut up!!"

Xu Futian couldn't stand the nagging of his mother-in-law, a rare burst of cheers like a thunderbolt in the clear sky made the small-mouthed mother-in-law stunned suddenly, once upon a time Xu Futian dared to talk to himself like this, the small-mouthed mother-in-law couldn't react, and when she just wanted to play tricks, Xu Futian's big smoke pot reprimanded with his nose:

"An old girl, you know a bird! You think you can still make money find a way in the yamen, but now the sky has changed! The people sitting in it are all flower skins who don't recognize money and only recognize reason, and they want to draw food like before, you are looking for a gun!! Last year, the flower skins wanted to measure the fields, and you came up with the bad idea to make me underreport so many dozens of acres of land and pay less grain, what was the result?! After measuring the flower skin, the extra field was directly collected! Are you not convinced? Look at the Zhao family in the neighboring village, before he could find someone to do something, he was pressed by the flower skin, and there were hundreds of fast guns and cannons, and there was nothing! Do you want my Xu family to be destroyed!! ”

For the peasants at the bottom, taking away any cent of their land is a huge property loss, so they often prefer to overreport rather than underreport under the explanation of Huapi, anyway, the final amount of grain is based on the measured number of fields, and if they overreport no loss and underreport...... Fields that have not been reported will be confiscated directly......

However, when encountering this kind of thing, there will always be people who want to be lucky, Xu Futian is one of them, on the day of the announcement of the field list, his little mouth mother-in-law cried that it was a miserable, fortunately he was small, and he didn't want to do something like the Zhao family in the neighboring village, and the Zhao family was timid when he found himself and didn't agree, otherwise not only was the Zhao family suppressed, but he was later confirmed that he didn't promise to escape the catastrophe when he was checked afterwards, otherwise he would fall into the hands of Huapi...... Xu Futian shuddered a little when he thought about it now.

The little mouth lady who was shocked didn't dare to speak for a while, and the little mouth couldn't stop clicking but didn't make any sound, and after a while, she squeezed out a little sound from her small mouth: "That...... Then it will be possible to raise the rents of the tenants......"

"Ass!!"

It's good that the small-mouthed mother-in-law didn't mention it, but Xu Futian was even more angry when she mentioned it, and the big smoke pot almost didn't want to pestle into her mother-in-law's mouth.

"Now those flower skins are recruiting people to work, and the wages are not in arrears, and the young babies are all running to the flower skins to work, who will rent your fields and farm if you raise the rent!!"

Xu Futian's troubles actually come from here, although he has lost dozens of acres of land, but the Xu family's remaining fields also have more than 200 acres, but although the fields seem to be a lot, but I can't find anyone to farm, so many fields are barren, it's troublesome! Moreover, the amount of flower skins harvested is also harvested according to the amount of land produced and the yield of raw and cooked land, and the barren land must not only pay fines but also collect grain...... Isn't that a two-pronged block......

From the geographical point of view of Taiping Village, Taiping Village is actually not far from the new village, and even in the early years, when Qin Er came out to find a picky merchant in the first year, he came to Taiping Village; It was only because of the fact that he entered the mountain by water, and because of Deng Shifeng's strategic development steps, Rong County and Liucheng County were included in the list of the second step, and Taiping Village, one of the villages closest to the mountain village, gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

However, although it lacks the convenience brought by waterway transportation, this does not mean that Taiping is really declining, on the contrary, Taiping Village has always been a key grain production area in Liucheng County because of the flat terrain and abundant water in the surrounding area; The abundance of grain production has also led to an increase in animal husbandry, and the raising of livestock and poultry is also the main economic pillar of Taiping Village. And these two large pieces of agricultural output have also indirectly created the three major specialties of Taiping Village - beef laba, duck tongue, and cloud cake!

People who have been to Taiping Town, Liucheng County in later generations can notice that after driving into Taiping, there are many light box billboards erected on both sides of the national highway, from the head of the town to the end of the town, not five hundred, not to mention three hundred! The above is nothing more than the eight main product characters of Beef Laba Duck Tongue Cloud Slice Cake, the only difference is its color, manufacturer and the phone number below......

The main reason for these three specialties in Taiping Town is that the place has a large amount of grain, livestock, meat and poultry production, and there is not enough raw material output to naturally be able to provide secondary processed products, and when Taiping was included in the rule of the mountain village, because of these three specialties, Niu Laba and cloud cake are easy to carry and can provide a lot of calorie food, Deng Shifeng naturally will not let go of such a good product to the army, for this reason, in Taiping Village, there are several workshops, which are specialized in the production of these two products for the army.

And these workshops have absorbed the last remaining middle-aged and elderly laborers in the village, so that Xu Futian used to beg the tenants under him to rent land for them to farm, but now he is begging these mud legs to rent his field and farm, you say this contrast is not big......

(Note: The time when these three specialties really became specialties and spread fame in historical materials was basically in the Qing Dynasty, and the time of their appearance was advanced here)

For this reason, as early as after the factories in the mountain villages began to recruit people to work, not only the young people of the ethnic minorities in the north entered the new village to work, but also many people in Taiping and the surrounding towns and villages were itching to join the ranks after seeing people working in the new village and getting various products and materials home, especially those tenants and slave households who did not have land, and they were the first to rush to the mountain villages in order to find more income; And as these people gradually become skilled workers, working in the mountains can not only earn work and exchange pots and pans and even houses, but also when everyone can afford to support a family...... Who is going to your landlord's old rich family to rent land and farm! Not to mention the tiring work of planting for a year, in the end, most of the harvest is taken away by your landlord's old wealth, and the old snacks of the family are not full and warm, and you have to look at your face as a cheap slave......

In the past, the world was as black as a crow, and everywhere was exploited, in this case, the tenants and slave households had no choice but to pick the less exploited landlord's family to join the commission; Now, after the development of the industry in the mountain village, we can compare them with each other, in fact, Xu Futian's troubles are also the troubles of many local landlords under the rule of the mountain village......

ps: There are a lot of things, from today to the New Year, I can only try to ensure the update, but it is estimated that it is difficult to do a double change a day, sorry...... (To be continued.) )
