86_86695 Land is the lifeblood of farmers. Wang Shuhui's understanding of this sentence is quite profound.

In Wang Shuhui's hometown, the arsenal had a land dispute with local villagers in order to expand the shooting range. In the face of the heavily armed security forces of the arsenal, the peasants dared to fight desperately with pickaxes and rifles and armored vehicles. Wang Shuhui, as the student representative of the school at that time, also went to the hospital on behalf of the school to comfort the soldiers who were injured due to land requisition.

Before the state solved the problem of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture, Wang Shuhui once saw with his own eyes that local farmers drove tractors to pull buckets of manure, dumped rice fields at the gate of the district government, and then besieged the district government office building for a long time.

Moreover, the peasants will not only have conflicts with the government over the land issue. Even in the daily life of the rural areas, in the distribution of mobile land, in the process of land circulation, because of the favoritism and misappropriation of interests by the village cadres, because of land disputes between one and two ridges, there may even be tragic situations in which people die in fierce struggles.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Wang Shuhui profoundly knows that in order to obtain land and defend the land they have obtained, farmers will not hesitate to pay a price.

However, feudal land ownership. Or further, the system of private ownership of land itself will inevitably lead to irreconcilable contradictions in feudal society. In China's 2,000-year-old feudal era, feudal land ownership led to the concentration of land and uneven land tenure in China, which ultimately led to the demise of the feudal dynasty.

So those who have nothing to do and are blind **** what "the landlord recruited you to provoke you" with physical disabilities, stupid x with a crippled brain, can keep their mouths shut.

On the way out of the village to investigate, Wang Shuhui's head was thinking about this matter.

Wang Shuhui found Zhao Er in a field not far from the village. At that time, Zhao Er was turning the ground. Because Zhao Er was an old bachelor and had no family members to join the militia, not only did he not have oxen to pull the plow, but he also did not have the sturdy, sharp white iron hoe that the revival would produce.

Zhao Er used a hoe that didn't show any material at all, and looked rather clumsy, and carefully planed the ground. Seeing him plowing the ground from a distance made Wang Shuhui a little confused. He was so cautious, whether he was afraid that the ground would be gouged out, or that the strange and bulky hoe would break.

The work in the fields is easier said than done. Like working as a factory worker, farming is a skilled worker. If you haven't done a kind of farm work, you don't understand it. Outsiders coldly participate in it, completely to make trouble for others.

Completely using manpower and relying on one-arm strength to do farm work, Wang Shuhui has never seen this kind of thing at all. Therefore, Wang Shuhui can't do a lot of this kind of ancient farm work at all. From the beginning of leaving the village, Wang Shuhui looked all the way over, and basically did not find any farm work that he could do. It wasn't until he saw Zhao Er who was turning the ground that Wang Shuhui found a simple farm job that he could do.

When Wang Shuhui came out of the village, he carried two tools on his shoulders. One is a shovel and the other is a hoe. Hoes and shovels are tools used in many farm tasks. However, although it is also possible to use a hoe to turn the ground, Wang Shuhui knows that the best farm tool used to turn the ground is the kind of three-toothed rake that is better to use. Of course, hoes and shovels can also be used to plough the ground.

In this way, Wang Shuhui put down the shovel and took the hoe, and walked into the field of Zhao Er's house with a local comrade who could speak the Zhijiang dialect. After saying hello to him, Wang Shuhui began to swing his hoe and turn the ground next to Zhao Er.

Faced with the strange situation of a stranger suddenly running into your family's field to plow the ground, Zhao Erbiao was quite calm. He just glanced at the two of them and went back to work. It took a whole morning. It was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Er straightened up and looked at the sky, and then walked under the big tree at the edge of the field.

Wang Shuhui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Er's actions. He also straightened up and followed Zhao Er out of the farmland. Because he didn't know how to plough the ground, Wang Shuhui's farm work this morning was due to back pain and leg cramps. Wang Shuhui wanted to give up several times in this morning's work, but under the big goal of getting closer to the villagers and completing the investigation, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Sitting under the tree with Wang Shuhui, eating a few buns brought by Wang Shuhui, and taking a cigarette from Wang Shuhui, Zhao Er opened the conversation box himself without others talking.

"You two are also from the Revival Society in your next life. I see that the descendants of our village working group are dressed like you. I heard that the leader of your club, the person named Wang Shizun, is quite capable of losing the family. It seems that the thousands of people under the revival will be supported by that Wang Shizun. Everyone has several sets of such clothes, and they don't know that he is such a loser, and his family's wealth is enough for him to lose for a few years. ”

Hearing someone criticize and ridicule himself in person, Wang Shuhui was a little embarrassed, he smiled unnaturally and didn't say anything. However, the translator comrade next to Wang Shuhui, when he heard someone scolding Wang Shizun, who was regarded as his father and brother, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold, and there was no smile at all.

"I heard Deng Daguang say that there is a rule in your revival society to help the old and the young. Last year, the group of juniors in charge of our village also helped several families in the village who lacked manpower. ”

After listening to the comrade next to him translate Zhao Er's words into Mandarin, Wang Shuhui smiled at Zhao Er and said, "You are really well-informed. ”

The translator didn't know how it was translated, anyway, after listening to the translation, Zhao Er was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I'm so well-informed. I'm alive to this point, and I don't even know how old I've lived. It was the descendants of the working group who helped me calculate, and I learned that the old man and I have now lived to be forty-two years old. After living for so many years, I have only been to the county seat two or three times, except for the time when I was a master when I was young, when I was on an errand with the official family, and when I sent the imperial grain handed over by the village to Nanjing. Speaking of which, I am just the most practical farmer. Don't pour me ecstasy soup in this future life. ”

After listening to Comrade Translator's translation, Wang Shuhui nodded and decided to immediately investigate the old man.

Originally, in order to quickly get closer to the villagers, Wang Shuhui specially prepared some polite words in the Zhijiang area before going to the countryside. However, when there is no way to communicate directly and to rely on an interpreter to speak, these polite words become meaningless.

Although Wang Shuhui knows that to conduct investigation and research, it is best to have at least three people in each discussion. However, in the face of difficulties in language communication in reality, Wang Shuhui decided to adjust his research strategy according to the actual situation, and just ask one person at a time.

Wang Shuhui took out the survey form he sent to each member of the investigation team before leaving, and began to directly ask Zhao Er's related research questions.

"Uncle, your surname." Wang Shuhui asked.

"My name is Zhao Er." Zhao Er replied.

"What did you do for a living?"

"What else can you do to make a living, the farmer family naturally lives by farming, and lives by God's blessing."

"Do you plant your own field, or do you farm the tenants' field?"

"Hehe, twenty years ago, I still had some land at home. But twenty years ago, the family fell into ruin, and they could only survive on the tenants' land. ”

"Then how many fields did you tenant the Ma family in the past?"

"Old man, I am an old bachelor, I have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and I don't have many fields, only ten acres of paddy fields."

"Oh, then these ten acres of paddy fields, are you planting them alone?"

"It's so strange for you to ask in this later life, can't I hire someone to plant it if I don't plant it alone? I am a farmer myself, and if I have the money to hire someone to farm, what will I do with my tenants' fields? ”

"Then how do you count the firewood and grass you cook, as far as I know, the mountains and forests here in Zhaojiatan are also owned by the Ma family, right?"

"You just haven't worked. In the ten acres of land that I shared, there was a mountain of firewood for collecting firewood. ”

"Do you have a house?"

"Naturally, the house is there, although it is a thatched house, it is also my own house."

"How do you pay the rent to the Ma family?"

"I don't have any money in my own hands, so naturally at the end of the year, I paid the rent of the seventh floor to the housekeeper."

"Here in Zhaojiatan, do tenants have to pay such a heavy rent for the fields planted?"

"Yes, if you don't have the money to pay the rent first, you can only pay the seventh layer of grain at the end of the year. I heard that if you pay the rent before the year, you can pay one less floor. However, we poor men have fallen to the point of tenants' fields to plant. Naturally, they all pay seven floors of rent. ”

"How much food do you have to consume in a year?"

"What does it mean to consume?"

"It's how much food you have to use up in a year."

"About seven or eight stone of grain. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It depends on the reward of God. He will reward the old man more, and my old man will have a good year. He gave less to the old man, so I pulled my trouser belt and gritted my teeth for a year. ”

"How much does this stone grain cost in the county?"

"A stone of rice costs a tael of silver."

"Then the food you eat this year will cost seven or eight taels of silver."

"Probably."

"Salt too, right?"

"Stupid words! Who can live without salt. ”

"How much salt do you have to eat in a month?"

"Well, at least eleven taels and a month."

"How much does salt cost a pound?"

"Hehe, my old man has a way to buy private salt. Haha, private salt is very cheap, only one tael of silver and one catty. ”

"That is to say, it costs six or seven cents of silver to buy salt for a month."

"My old man is not a descendant of your guild, I don't know how to count. I don't know. However, it seems to be about the same. ”

"Lard is also something that costs money."

"Why do you always ask strange things in your next life. I'm not a talented man, so no one will give me lard to eat. If you don't eat some lard and you don't have the strength to do it, you naturally have to buy it. I always have to eat five taels of lard a month to regain my strength. ”

"How much is a pound?"

"It costs a penny and a pound."

"That is, it costs three cents of silver to buy lard every month."

"I guess so."

"The cow is to be rented, right?"

"Stupid again! Farming, especially paddy fields, does not need oxen to plow, and I can't pull the plough myself. ”

"How much does it cost to rent a cow?"

“…………。”

“…………？”

“…………。”

(Wang Shuhui later asked Zhao Er about other items he would spend each year.) ）。
