[83] Timely rain

Because of the sudden birth of the Yuchun Agricultural Credit Cooperative, the violent law enforcement, chickens and dogs, and bloody debt collection sticks that originally appeared every year did not appear, and the tax collection that should have been a wolf and pig rush and a frightening collection of taxes became an orderly consultation, mortgage, loan, bookkeeping, and tax payment.

After the guys learned the basic process, Yao Fan smiled and excused himself to check the collateral, and took the villagers to run all over the poor farms.

Yao Fan explained to the stunned farmers, saying that this is because the Township Warrior Regiment is from the people, so it naturally wants to serve the people.

Although the villagers were a little reluctant, the "three disciplines and eight points of attention" had already been memorized, and the first one was to obey the command in a qiē action. Everyone thinks, "Since the owner asked us to do it, there must be a reason for the owner, and I must not be sloppy and slack, so that the owner thinks that he does not listen to the command!" ”

"Yao Ye, look, this is my house, the two acres of mountainous land in the west are the cultivated land I mortgaged, I plan to mortgage the upper acre of land, and return the silver donated in autumn first. Master Yao, look, how much is that worth? The farmer was young, but his face was wrinkled and his yellow-brown face was full of malnutrition.

"You are not flat land, according to the current market price, the mountain land can only be counted as 1o taels to 15 taels of one mu, and the mortgage will not yield too much silver." Yao Fan doesn't want to be talked about as having ulterior motives, so he does everything according to the laws of the market.

"Owner, I think the terrain is not good, and it must be very laborious to irrigate the land, and it will be sold for 7 to 8 taels at most."

"Manatee doesn't need to say much, it's more important to solve people's dangers than to make profits, so I will count 1o taels as a mortgage for this big brother."

"Yes! The owner is benevolent! ”

Yao Fan and Li Hainiu said one sentence to me, and the farmer was moved to tears.

"Big brother, what did you grow?" Yao Fan patted the farmer's shoulder and asked easily.

The farmer saw that Yao Fan was willing to lend him a loan, and said gratefully: "What else can I plant in these two acres of mountainous land, plant some grits, as the saying goes, grits for rice, three liters are not the top one liter." I planted a lot of sweet potatoes on the ground, Yao Ye, look at those in my yard, which are the leftover sweet potato mother and child, which can be ground into sweet potato noodles after drying, and boiled wild vegetables to eat. We croppers, we can survive if we have sweet potato noodles to eat. ”

Yao Fan knew that grits were no longer planted after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and that thing was really unpalatable, and it was troublesome to peel the seeds, so it was mainly used as feed for donkeys.

Seeing that Yao Fan listened carefully, the peasant continued: "If there is good land in our village, they all grow wheat and millet, and the wheat can grind flour and millet can produce millet. The grits grown by my family are not grained, but are sold to raise cattle in exchange for money.

If a big animal like a donkey or horse wants to be strong, it must eat grits, otherwise it will lose fat just by eating the poles and grass left over from threshing grain. The grits are eaten more than the bran that has been taken off from the threshing grains. As for the pigs and chickens, they eat the chaff, and the bran skin has oil and water, and the fat is fast. ”

"Why don't you grow some peanuts? It's drought-tolerant and barren. Yao Fan said.

"There are peanuts in this village, and those things are drought and barren, but if the land is really barren, the yield will be too small, and it is only one season a year, no matter if it is full, it is used to extract oil and eat."

Yao Fan then remembered that the current peanuts do not have the high-yield varieties of the two seasons a year in later generations, and there is no large amount of urea to produce fertilizer, coupled with the backward oil extraction technology, the oil yield is not high, and the economic value is indeed not as good as many grains that can be used to satisfy the stomach.

"Big brother, don't look at me as a businessman, in fact, my ancestors also farmed, my grandfather is a good crop handle, plow, pick, lift, peg, hook, wedge all proficient, so I met the crop man, I feel very kind.

Big brother, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Qingdao to find us Yuchun Agricultural Credit Cooperative, as long as we can help everyone, our credit union is willing to contribute money and efforts, and we must think of letting all the people tide over the difficulties. As for the money owed, don't be in a hurry to pay it back, our credit union is talking about long-term exchanges, as long as you have credit, you are not afraid of being poor, as long as you can still work, you are not afraid of owing money. If you are in a hurry to wait for money now, you can come to my village to work part-time, 1o wen a day, and manage three meals! ”

The farmer's eyes lit up and he smiled movingly, and the wrinkles squeezed the circles under his eyes into a triangle.

"Master Yao, your ancestors must be noble people who accumulate virtue and do good, and are merciful! Thank you for your words! Thank you so much! Thank you, Mr. Yao! Thank you! Plug, come out and kowtow to Yao Ye...... "The farmers are not likely to say any touching speeches, but simply express their good feelings and enthusiasm for Yao Fan."

Yao Fan used the excuse of looking at the collateral, visiting one by one, chatting with the farmers, pulling idleness, and the warm scene of taking away relatives.

The villagers also sprinkled and carried water from house to house, cleaning up every poor courtyard, and they were all tired and sweaty.

Yao Fan deeply realized that as long as you have a little contact with the Chinese peasants, eliminate the strangeness between each other, and let him no longer look at you with vigilance and fear, he will open up the conversation box to you and tell you all the trivial matters of the family.

No matter what you say to him, as long as you really want them to understand, the language is simple, and you don't need to use the nonsense to raise your identity, they will immediately understand the name of what you are saying, and can draw inferences from one another, using the grass, trees, mountains, crops, livestock, and farm work around them as an analogy.

"Labor creates human beings, and every evolution of human beings on the road to civilization needs to hone themselves by diligent labor. I don't have to envy the foreigners who have workers and laborers, because I have Chinese laborers -- these peasants who are simple and shrewd, kind and cunning, and I want to rely on them actively, because they are people who understand. I also want to actively guide them, because although they can understand a qiē, they are constrained by the constraints of traditional and old ritual culture, suffer from the shortage of new knowledge and new vision, and have their own limitations. Yao Fan thought.

After a day of visiting, Yao Fan left Niwanzi Village in the evening with the Township Warrior Regiment, leaving behind a heroic and benevolent image of a chivalrous businessman who was kind and kind-eyed, kind, and unpretentious, and also left a water tank filled with water by the Township Warrior Regiment, and a neat courtyard that was sprinkled and cleaned.

The tax collector Zhang harvested 216 taels of donated silver, Master Zhai harvested the money and grain of each tenant, and Yao Fan harvested the fragmentary 75 taels of debt in Niwanzi Village, a bunch of meaningless mortgage documents and a bunch of heavy hearts.

"Owner, this pile of melons and vegetables can be worth a few dollars, why do you want us to stuff a few big sons before you leave." Li Jun held a melon in his hand and said while gnawing on it.

"Li Jun, what do you say about the second discipline? If you don't take a stitch from the masses, you have to give money if you take it. ”

……………………

Next, Yao Fan took Xiangyong and tax collectors to various villages in Jiaozhou every day to collect donations. As for the tax envoy Zhang, he was too lazy to persuade Yao Fan. He thought, since it was Lord Ding who asked Yao Fan to do such a good deed, wouldn't it be boring for him to intervene in a lever?

So Yao Fan, in the name of implementing Ding Baozhen's teachings, pulled the tiger skin to make a banner very smoothly, and more and more farmers borrowed money, and the number of farmers who came to Yaojiazhuang to work for short-term jobs also increased sharply to 28o.

At the Yaofu tea party that night, Yao Fan gave the guys a fragrant golden Tieguanyin tea soup, and instructed:

"Fourth, tomorrow, according to the standard of two catties of refined white rice per household, you will take the township brave members of your platoon to ride bicycles to the borrowed farmers in Niwanzi Village and Butou Village, so that everyone can try it. You and your platoon of the Xiangyong team members must make it clear to everyone, this foreign polished rice does not cost money, it is for everyone to try, if you eat well, you can come to my Yuchun business to buy, if you don't eat well, I Yao Fan will send them the Mid-Autumn Festival gift in advance, I wish everyone a happy and peaceful life. Also, don't forget about discipline and don't accept gifts from fellow countrymen! When you go, remember to help someone clean the yard and fill the water tank! Be sure to have a good relationship with others! ”

"Yes!"

"He Shicheng, you must pay close attention to the equipment training of your platoon, and each person must meet the 3o standard for pull-ups! Also, 4o pounds of weight-bearing cross-country must be run by all staff for 23 minutes! I'm not giving you the watch for you to play around! It's for you to take them to the mountains! Give them a timer! ”

"I know, I must urge them to train quickly."

"Li Hainiu, Li Jun, the results of the two platoons you led are very good, and now the Township Warrior Regiment is going to be expanded, and each platoon will recruit 4o people, one old and two new, and train them. In the future, you two will be company commanders, and each of you will manage three platoons of 2o people, and you will report the platoon commander quota to me, and I will personally appoint it in person tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Liu Jinbao, now there are more and more people who come to work part-time, you must manage them well, food is not allowed to be deducted, but you must teach them to understand the rules, in addition to working on the construction site, they are not allowed to run around, and they are not allowed to enter the Neizhuang reservoir area and playground in the wall!"

"Yes, host."

"Now let's talk about the current literacy situation, the study of five words a day can not be delayed, although there are now tasks of lending and collecting taxes, but the more intense the work arrangement, the more it can test people's primacy, everyone is a platoon leader and squad leader, we must urge the township warriors of each platoon and the guys of each work class to study quickly......"

"Tonight, I will tell you what the means of production are, what is social wealth, and whether social wealth is created by laborers or capital. Also, I have explained roughly what a materialist worldview is before, and tonight we will use the materialist worldview to analyze whether the gods exist or not. ”

The next day, Yao Fan found He Wannian again.

"Ten thousand years, now I have leveled out the land by the sea, and I am digging a dock, and I will have a slut to inquire when I go back, don't say it is a dock, just say it is a sheltered tank for repairing fishing boats, they believe it or not, you have to ...... your mouth to the door"

"Brother Yao, the folding umbrella is very easy to sell right now, and the merchants who came to Jiaozhou to batch goods have stepped on the city gate of Qingdao by three points."

"What about pens?" Yao Fan asked.

"The domestic sales of fountain pens are not very good, but foreign merchants like it very much, and the British Qianda Ocean Company has ordered 3,000 to go, but they don't want our ink. It's good to say that I bought 300 bottles. ”

"Don't force others if you don't buy, if you ask someone to buy it, the price won't go up, and it will fall." Yao Fan instructed.

"Yes, brother is right! A few days ago, the French businessman Pimen came to Jiaozhou to buy goods, and he took a fancy to the sewing machine of our firm, and he actually picked thorns in every way! I ignored him, and in the end, didn't this grandson come to buy it cheekily, hehe! No two prices! I didn't even give him a cheap one! Tell him to pretend! He Wannian is now brought out by Yao Fan with a lot of fashionable mantras.

"Well done!"

"The iron-shell thermos bottle is now selling well, Hankou, Ningbo, Wuxi, Tongcheng, Tianjin, everywhere are our thermos flasks, it is crazy to sell, and now the ships in Qingdao are coming and going to put thermos flasks on the ship! In order to buy thermos flasks, many foreign businessmen unloaded the bristles in Shanghai, and specially came to our Jiaozhou to purchase and load the ship! I heard that Liu Ziming at the customs has been fat for a while. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you watching. The porters at the docks aren't making trouble, are they? ”

"I have made a settlement with them to carry two loadloads of goods on board, and to give them two more sons."

"They take the opportunity to increase the price of the freight when the freight is busy, which is normal, as long as it is not too excessive, it can be satisfied."

"What Brother Yao said is that the freight is so busy at the moment, and the wharf has made a lot of money one by one, and now there are more than 4oo workers in the entire wharf, which is comparable to the Yanbu wharf, of course, compared to the more than 1,000 people at the Yanbu wharf."

"Where do these people live?"

"Funny to say, these sons from the south learned from the board house of Brother Yao Zhuangzi, and built all kinds of broken wooden houses and straw mat sheds on the south side of the wharf, and lived in a mess. I heard that Master Sun was thunderous and said that he was going to pay taxes today. ”

"Sun Maowen, this guy...... In addition to money, I also know a ......."

……………………

This autumn, the villages of Jiaozhou are full of quiet and happiness that is rare in this harvest season, there is no bitter cry of broken homes, no howls of separation, and no refugees who wander all over the world to flee the famine.

A name is quietly being spoken of in a viral way.

Spring business! Yuchun Agricultural Credit Union! Yao Fan Yao Dongjia! Jiaozhou Renyilang! Jiaozhou timely rain! Benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world! Full of credit!

As for the gentry, there is a legend that this person is a fool, holding the chicken feathers given by Ding Baozhen as a mallet, sooner or later one day he will not be able to recover the loan, and he will lose all over the ground to find teeth.

Some gentry said that Yao Fan was a genius, and quietly stuck the land of a group of poor ghosts in his hands, and in the future he could sell it to the rest of the squires at a high price, or rent it to tenant farmers, as for those short-term workers who signed contracts, they must be sold to Nanyang as piglets, and I heard that those piglets were used as cattle in overseas mines until they died. came and went, this Yao Fan made a lot of money.

Some gentry felt that there was no need to be too alarmist, this person did good deeds like this, but he just wanted to make an appearance for Ding Junmen and lose a small amount of money in Jiaozhou to make a reputation. The credit union of this loan can only be operated in a small county like Jiaozhou, and if it is expanded to a territory the size of the state capital, he Yao Fan will have to die alive, let alone the whole province.
