Chapter 186: Rival Differences (3)
"Section Chief Duan, do you know that your family sold five hundred acres of land?"
Duan Fengming, who was sitting in front of Cai Zijun, director of the Jiangning Prefecture Agricultural Bureau, immediately widened his eyes when he heard this. The family was caught with abandoned land the year before last, and had to sell more than 2,000 acres of rotten land in order to avoid fines. That time made the family from the patriarch to the elder heartbroken, Duan Fengming never expected that they would sell five hundred acres again without saying a word.
Could it be that the guys in the clan have taken the wrong medicine? Could it be that the second dragon is about to raise its head in February, so these people are playing a trick? So Duan Fengming hurriedly asked, "The land was sold to the government?" ”
"Yes. Sold to the government. ”
“…… Is it already closed? ”
"Transferred. Not only the Duan family, but also the Lu family, the Li family, and the Qian family have also sold 300 to 1,000 mu each. Director Cai Zijun's tone was very happy, and any increase in land is good news for the Agricultural Bureau. One guy has increased two or three thousand acres of land, and the Agricultural Bureau feels that its capital has increased a lot.
Duan Fengming's heart was at a loss, he couldn't understand how things had become like this. Even if you don't have money in your hand, you have to borrow money to buy land, this is the family appearance in Duan Fengming's heart. The fact that such a greedy family had sold their land was completely beyond Duan Fengming's perception of the family.
"Section Chief Duan, do you think the landlords will sell the land together?" Cai Zijun's eyes were shining, and two or three thousand acres of land were not enough to satisfy his appetite.
"Director Cai, I just heard about this, and I really don't know what's going on." Duan Fengming hurriedly replied.
"Can you go back and ask?"
"I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I go home."
“…… Can you give it a try? When you go back and ask, it's business. Cai Zijun is very enthusiastic about this.
Duan Fengming muttered in his heart, stumped Duan Fengming really wants to be lazy, can Cai Zijun be able to manage it? It's just that this kind of thing can't be said no matter what, so Duan Fengming said in embarrassment: "Director Cai, it should be okay to find someone else." ”
"A family member like you, they will say something from their hearts."
"I don't think my family is afraid to tell the truth."
"Section Chief Duan, go ahead. This must be done until it is done. ”
Duan Fengming returned home at noon, but his wife did not come back. Duan Fengming's wife was his high school classmate, who did paperwork at the courthouse and often came back at noon. When Duan Fengming was eating the food he brought back from the cafeteria, the Duan family actually sent someone to ask Duan Fengming to see Duan Tiande.
Back at Duan's house, Duan Tiande said: "Feng Ming, what you said last time can't affect your official career, let me ask you, if our clan farms according to the government's methods, will this affect your official career?" ”
“…… No. Duan Fengming began to suspect that his family might really be abnormal, and not long ago, they had disdainfully believed that the agricultural level of the Great Song Dynasty government was far inferior to that of the landlords.
"Then you will teach the clan how to farm." Duan Tiande said.
Duan Fengming felt a burst of disgust in his heart, Cai Zijun, director of the Bureau of Agriculture, asked Duan Fengming to do things, at least he had to come up with a reason for official travel, and he didn't need to report to the unit for this kind of official trip. There is also a lot of easing in time. Duan Tiande asked Duan Fengming to work with this opening, completely ignoring Duan Fengming's schedule. What made Duan Fengming most dissatisfied was that Duan Fengming received a salary from the Agricultural Bureau, and he also enjoyed some benefits provided by the government, such as cheap meal coupons for children to go to kindergarten and in the canteen. So far, Duan Fengming has not received a similar reward from the Duan family at all.
Thinking of this, Duan Fengming asked directly, "I heard that my family sold land?" ”
"Hmm. Sold. What's wrong? Do you want to buy? ”
"Uh......" Duan Fengming was speechless, even though he knew the big farm very well, Duan Fengming still hesitated when he found that he had the possibility of owning his own land. All kinds of thoughts were rolling in my mind, and after so many years of science education and specialized education in agriculture, I finally managed to suppress the urge to acquire a small piece of land. Then Duan Fengming asked tentatively, "I don't want to buy it." It's just that I don't think that's how my family used to do it. ”
"That's a family matter, you don't have to worry so much, just leave it to the family government how to farm the land." After Duan Tiande finished speaking, he asked Duan Fengming to contact the people in the clan, and he himself left with a big grin. This situation made Duan Fengming speechless for a while, and until now, Duan Fengming himself has never been able to grasp the slightest dominance.
Duan Tiande didn't mean to be prestigious, he really had something. After going out, there were already donkeys waiting, and they got on the donkeys and ran to the wharf close to the Yangtze River, where there were already awning boats waiting. The canopy boat did not enter the Yangtze River, but moved along the river close to the river. After that, he entered the new river channel according to the sign on the side of the river, and walked around like this, and finally entered the river that Duan Tiande was familiar with. This river leads to the core land of the Duan family, which is more than 40,000 acres of contiguous land. This is the non-stop efforts of the Jinshi family of the Duan family. Even the land that was not affected when Jia Rudao messed with the reform of public land, it is because of this kind of land that the Duan family has today's wealth.
Duanjiazhuang is located in the center of this land, and it is said to be a village, but in fact, it has the size of a town. The group got off the boat and went straight to the ancestral hall in Zhuangzi. It feels good to hold a meeting in such a sacred place.
When the bell rang, the elders who stayed in Duanjiazhuang gathered. Compared with elders like Duan Tiande, who had lived in the city for a long time, these elders living in the countryside were obviously more irritable. Seeing Duan Tiande, they came up one after another to question.
"Tiande, what do you mean by letting the village divide the land?"
"What do you mean by selling land?"
"You let the clan learn to farm with the government, isn't the government just two seasons of planting, and we will too!"
In the noise of the elders, Duan Tiande listened silently at first. After a while, he walked to the main house where the tablet was placed and said in a loud voice, "If you can't say anything new, then listen to me." I'm coming back this time to discuss with you. Our family has three large plots of land that are connected together, and the rest of the land is probably scattered. I want to learn from the government to manage these contiguous plots of land. Let's hand over the scattered land to the people of each family and let them manage it themselves. Spending thousands of acres of land for the sake of a few hundred acres of land, I don't think such things can be done anymore. ”
"You scumbag wants to divide the land! You have broken the rules of your ancestors. An old voice angrily accused.
Duan Tiande didn't need to look at it to know that this was a Duan family member of Duan Tiande's grandfather in the clan. Relying on the high seniority, he relies on the old and sells the old. So Duan Tiande said loudly: "If the former patriarch is still alive, what he wants to do, I will listen to him." Now that I am the patriarch of the Duan family, the decision I have to make is for the sake of the Duan family, according to the clan rules, you just listen to me. ”
