The three canopy boats that left Hedong Village went down the river, and each unloaded about 1,500 catties of grain, and the speed of the boat was significantly increased compared with when they came. Duan Fengming struggled to move his body, and he felt that his legs were heavy as if he was no longer his own. Even so, the anticipation of being able to live on the farm at night made him feel better.

"You walk on the flat ground and we walk on the mountain is different." Deputy Section Chief Zhang moved to the side easily as he spoke, making more room for Duan Fengming to come out.

"The things grown in the mountains are not under the control of the Agricultural Bureau, that is the business of your Forestry Bureau." Duan Fengming said unhappily.

"We'd love to plant more mulberry trees on the flatland. Your food bureau will not agree. ”

Duan Fengming did not answer this question. Even if the Forestry Bureau earns a lot of money, the Food Bureau will not get a cent. The only way for the Food Bureau to build more credit is to produce more food. The contradiction between the two departments in the distribution of land is clear.

Of course, Deputy Section Chief Zhang knew this, and when he saw that Duan Fengming was silent, he sighed again: "It seems that you can only land to the main land." ”

That tone, that tone, made Deputy Section Chief Zhang seem to be a person who has been wronged. Just taking the content into account, Duan Fengming felt that the landlords would definitely feel that they were more wronged than Deputy Section Chief Zhang. Although his legs were sore, when he thought of the Duan family's possible reaction when he heard this, Duan Fengming grinned bitterly.

In the darkness of the night, a group of people finally stopped at the farm. The hungry crowd ran to the cafeteria and found that there was not much food left. The master of the cafeteria complained while turning on the fire. Everyone sat in the familiar cafeteria, and someone came over with a brazier, and everyone gathered around the fire to warm their hands and feet.

After a short break, a young man plucked up the courage to ask, "Section Chief Zhang, is this Forestry Bureau specialized in planting trees?" ”

"Almost. Nowadays, tree species are mainly planted in hilly and mountainous areas. Why, do you want to plant trees with us? ”

"Can I go?"

"It's okay to go, but it's tiring. I run every day on the uninhabited mountains, where there are no conditions on a farm. The farm has a house to live in and a canteen to eat. In the mountains you have to live in tents, and you have to cook in pots to eat. You can't just plant, you have to protect the forest. Send you an errand, and you'll have to patrol the mountains. Dozens of miles of mountain roads have to be completed. Section Chief Duan went up the mountain today, and he walked like this. That's not an easy task. ”

"Say yours, what are you pulling me for?" Duan Fengming said angrily, in the current Great Song Dynasty officialdom, it is not a glorious thing to be weak.

“…… If it's so hard, why does Section Chief Zhang do it? The young man who asked the question asked puzzled.

"This, if you can't be in charge now, how can you become a section chief." Deputy Section Chief Zhang said with a smile. Looking at the young man with a puzzled expression, Deputy Section Chief Zhang continued: "Every time Section Chief Duan comes, he doesn't copy his hands to watch you work, right? ”

Duan Fengming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he really hadn't thought about this problem himself. It's not that he doesn't want to watch the farmworkers at work, or that he hasn't tried to watch the farmworkers at work. Duan Fengming found that farm workers actually didn't know how to engage in this kind of production, and if he didn't take the lead, he wouldn't be able to complete the work.

"Some government officials don't work with their hands." Workers expressed different opinions.

"Are those people the section chief?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang asked.

Now the workers can't answer, the people of the government come and go, and they really haven't paid so much attention.

"If you are not afraid of hardship, you are willing to endure it. You can sign up to come to the Forestry Bureau, I don't want to tell you much, the Forestry Bureau is a place to work, and those who don't work can't stay. ”

Deputy Section Chief Zhang was talking when the sound of the master of the canteen knocking on the lid of the pot was heard. The master shouted, "The meal is ready, it's time to eat!" ”

After hearing this, the young people hurriedly rushed to the food service, and after sitting for a while, not only were they hungry, but their sleepiness was getting higher and higher. After everyone had eaten, they couldn't talk anymore and ate a meal. Then they went back to their dormitories to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Duan Fengming and Deputy Section Chief Zhang got on a donkey and embarked on the road back to Jiangning. After entering Jiangning City, Duan Fengming said to Deputy Section Chief Zhang: "Section Chief Zhang, I will have time to come out and drink in the future." ”

"No problem, I enjoyed this trip with Section Chief Duan. I learned a lot from you. ”

"I have something to learn. Section Chief Zhang said who can be promoted, which made me understand a lot. ”

"Isn't it just who can do it and who gets promoted? If it weren't for this benefit, when would we be able to climb up? I think Section Chief Duan is a capable person. ”

"Each other, each other. Section Chief Zhang also suffered a lot. ”

"Haha. I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm afraid it's useless to endure hardship. Ha ha! ”

"Yes. Talk carefully next time you drink. Goodbye. ”

"Hmm. Goodbye. ”

When he came back to meet the director of the Agriculture Bureau, Duan Fengming happily recounted what he had seen and heard. It means that the hills cannot be developed for agriculture, and trees can be planted.

"It's a pity." Cai Zijun sighed: "It would be nice if it was flat or gently sloping land." ”

"The slope of the mountains is more than 30 degrees, and there is really no way." The discomfort in his legs made Duan Fengming sure that he was not mistaken.

Cai Zijun cleaned up his mood and said to Duan Fengming: "Section Chief Duan, most of the thousands of acres of land that have been harvested recently have not been connected to the land of the farm, and the bureau has discussed it and is ready to rent the land to local farmers for planting. You're going to be responsible for renting out the land. ”

“…… Can you let me go to another family's land, if I go to Duan's house, I'm afraid I will be beaten. ......, Director, let's let someone else do this. I'm not suitable. ”

Listening to Duan Fengming's words, Cai Zijun shook his head again and again, "You think you are not suitable, I don't think others may be better than you." At least you know you're not the right fit, which is probably modesty. If you're not modest, God knows what you'll do. ”

This sounds a little wrong, but Cai Zijun's tone is sincere, and Duan Fengming thinks that Cai Zijun really praises him for his modesty. Thinking of what Deputy Section Chief Zhang said before, Duan Fengming felt a little happy in his heart, was he really a capable and humble person?

"Section Chief Duan, I think what you said is that you don't go to the Duan family's land, just go to other homes." Cai Zijun made a decision.

With the joy of being recognized, Duan Fengming agreed to the above arrangement.

When he got home, Duan Fengming's wife told him that the Duan family sent someone to look for him again. After hearing this, Duan Fengming wanted to go to Duan's house, but he felt hesitant in his heart, and in the end he just responded, "Got it." ”

Duan Fengming's wife looked at Duan Fengming carefully, and asked curiously: "If it was before, you were only afraid that you would be going to your Duan family soon, why aren't you in a hurry this time?" ”

Duan Fengming also felt strange, in the past, he always couldn't help but mix it up, but this time he was not in the mood to mix. On the contrary, I feel that I want to prevaricate. Although I knew what I was thinking at this time, I couldn't find a reason. So he said perfunctorily: "I'm too tired to go out, I don't want to move." ”

Hearing her husband say this, looking at Duan Fengming's tired look, Duan Fengming's wife persuaded: "Then hurry up and rest." ”

"No, let me go take a shower first."

Although he was very tired from talking, Duan Fengming still set off to rent land in the countryside the next day. In the afternoon, Duan Fengming's wife returned home, and just after eating with her daughter, the Duan family sent someone to ask again.

"He hasn't come back yet, so I guess I'll have to stay outside for a while this time." After Duan Fengming's wife finished speaking, she sent off the guests.

Duan Tiande learned that Duan Fengming had been on a business trip for a long time, so he just snorted and asked the family to go down first. Lighting a cigarette, Duan Tiande took a few puffs, thinking about the recent events in his heart. Not long ago, he went to the countryside to ask the Duan family to find a way to learn the official farm, and the effect was extremely good. The old men of the Duan family had all kinds of ideas, and they felt that Duan Tiande was just nonsense. But the young Duan family members worked together and came up with a lot of new ideas. Some of the methods sounded whimsical, and Duan Tiande felt a little absurd, but the mood of thinking about the Duan family was sincere. Compared to these people, Duan Fengming seemed cold and ruthless. was perfunctory to the Duan family.

With the efforts of these young juniors, Duan Tiande asked these young people to try them in different places in the house first, and he waited to see the effect. Naturally, there will be no less worries, but at least there is something to look forward to. If the affairs of the Duan family were handed over to Duan Fengming, Duan Tiande would only feel an indescribable pressure.

Wait. Duan Tiande felt that he was more willing to wait and see what happened at this time.

The first month passed quickly, and on the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, there was a light rain in the sky. Duan Tiande was reading letters from young people at home, and those young boys inquired in many ways and found that the government's ploughing cattle could plow the fields for three hours a day, and such hard-working cattle were simply unheard of. After careful inquiry, it was found that in addition to the good food provided by the government, the amount of various concentrate feeds was very large. There is not much forage in it, and soybean meal and wheat grains can be fed vigorously. It's better than what people eat. In addition to this, the government's cattle shoes provide adequate protection. The boys offered to learn how to make cowshoes.

was considering whether this farrier had such a powerful effect, and the family came to pass, "Li Yuanwai asked to see him." ”

Duan Tiande couldn't help frowning, Li Yuanwai was the first big landlord to reduce the rent, which made Duan Tiande very dissatisfied with him. At that time, it was difficult to persuade Li Yuanwai not to do this kind of digging into everyone's corners, but Li Yuanwai looked very unhappy. Duan Tiande had been secretly sending people to inquire about Li Yuanwai's movements, and learned that although this guy had not lowered the ground rent, he had made concessions elsewhere.

"Ask him to come in." Duan Tiande said. Looking at the back of the family, Duan Tiande had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Li Yuanwai strode in from the outside, the family walked a little slowly, Li Yuanwai simply pushed the family away, which made Duan Tiande even more dissatisfied. The so-called dog beating depends on the owner, doing it in front of Duan Tiande, what does Li Yuanwai mean by this?

Striding in front of Duan Tiande, Li Yuanwai glared and said, "Duan Yuanwai, you let Duan Fengming of your family rent the land we sold to rent land, rent it for 30%, and no land tax will be charged." You persuaded me to sell my land, and I listened. But you're doing it again, are you trying to force me to death? ”
