(PS: I was dizzy yesterday, and the 187 chapters were not sent, but the 188 chapters were sent.) Now it has been adjusted and sent out. I beg your pardon for such careless things...... ）

Coming down from the hills, Duan Fengming only felt that his two legs were almost useless. Sit down in the awning boat, light the stove, and put the already soaked rice on the stove. Duan Fengming sighed: "I didn't expect me to be so useless. ”

"You're either in the city or on flat ground, but you're not used to it." Deputy Section Chief Zhang replied calmly. It can be seen that such a trip has no impact on Deputy Section Chief Zhang, and after such a exercise, he can still cut sausages and tofu on the small board very freely.

Beating his legs, Duan Fengming changed the topic, "I didn't expect that the trees on this mountain were almost cut down, what do these people usually burn?" Burn grass? ”

"If you want them to plant trees, you have to supply them with coal first." When Deputy Section Chief Zhang spoke, he began to cut chives again, "Did you see it, most of those trees were newly cut." ”

"So......" Duan Fengming felt a little understood.

"That's how bad the landlords are." Deputy Section Chief Zhang lamented.

Duan Fengming was a little helpless after hearing this, Deputy Section Chief Zhang's family was also a landlord. If he hadn't seen a lot of such things, Deputy Section Chief Zhang wouldn't have said such things. The biggest landlord in this Hedong village is the Duan family, and those who want to cut down trees are all from the Duan family.

The coals in the stove are very powerful, not only to raise the temperature inside the canopy, but also to make the rice in the pot start to boil. When the water was almost dry, Deputy Section Chief Zhang opened the lid of the pot, placed the sliced sausages and chives on top of the rice, and closed the lid again.

After a while, the rice is ready. Deputy Section Chief Zhang took another pot and put water in it to boil first. After that, put the tofu and chives in and cook. The two of them silently rode rice and sausages, took out the bean paste produced on the farm, and ate the belated lunch. Fill your stomach and have a bowl of green onion tofu soup, which is also warm and comfortable. However, when Duan Fengming was about to stand up, he found that his legs could barely move.

Deputy Section Chief Zhang dragged Duan Fengming up and helped him out of the awning boat. Duan Fengming needed to continue to walk around, alive the blood on his legs, and the two didn't want to climb the mountain anymore, so they walked towards the village. The village is basically thatched, with only a few brick houses. After walking for a while, I saw some homes that looked more lively, and these families could see people wearing farm work clothes without exception.

"How can so many people wear farm clothes?" Deputy Section Chief Zhang didn't quite understand.

"The young people took home the clothes they had saved and gave them to their families." Duan Fengming explained.

"This ...... Will people sneak into the farm in their clothes? At present, it is strictly forbidden to give military uniforms to family members in the army. Deputy Section Chief Zhang asked.

"The military uniforms were checked in the city a while ago, because something happened in the army?" Duan Fengming was very interested in this.

"I didn't know what was going on with the army after I retired. But when the troops did this, something must have happened. ”

"How did you remember to be a soldier?"

"Uh...... The Mongols hit Jiangning, and I went with my brother to see it. The Mongols shot us with arrows, and my brother was hit by an arrow in the arm. I want revenge. ”

Deputy Section Chief Zhang said it lightly, and Duan Fengming only felt a chill coming up. Although Deputy Section Chief Zhang looks fine now, he almost lost his life back then. Before Duan Fengming could figure out what to say next, he heard a sudden commotion in the thatched hut in front of him. Not long after, a young farm worker came out of it in a huff, and strode towards the place where the boat was parked without looking back. An elderly man in his forties rushed out from behind, standing in the yard and pointing at the back of the young worker and scolding: "You have stiff wings, dare to talk back!" I don't believe it, the government's farm can still support you until you are old? Where is other people's land so easy to plant? The government and the Duan family are all the way, and they are all bad people. Waiting for them to gnaw all your bones away! ”

The old man was not scolding Duan Fengming, Duan Fengming still felt very embarrassed. Whether it is the Duan family or the people of the government, the two scolds the old man are the identities that Duan Fengming has.

"It's a matter of money again." Deputy Section Chief Zhang laughed in a low voice, "I thought that only the workers employed by our Forestry Bureau could face such a thing. ”

"How?" Duan Fengming asked.

"Do you know why the Farm and Forestry Department has no plans to recruit new people this year and next year?"

"I wonder what's going on?"

"Those older people are very lazy and don't have clean hands and feet. Some young people are just taught bad by the adults in the family, and some are forced by the adults to get things from their homes. If these people cannot be cleared, the people who are recruited will soon be destroyed. Let them choose between home and farm, and many people choose home. Deputy Section Chief Zhang's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his tone was quite unkind.

Duan Fengming sighed in his heart, he originally just felt that the landlord and the court had never been the same people, but now he had found new evidence. When Duan Fengming became a cadre, he had to consider whether to eat public meals or Duan's meals. If it weren't for the Duan family's favor that couldn't make Duan Fengming feel valuable at all, he would probably want to eat the Duan family's meal even more, right?

Then he listened to the cursing old man and continued to curse: "...... The Duan family asked us to pull the ox rake and plow, and you also pulled the ox rake and plow on the farm, exhausting you turtle grandchildren! ”

Poof! Duan Fengming was amused by these words, and then covered his mouth and laughed. The farm is full of oxen pulling rake and plows, how can the kind of rake plough that can plough a foot deep be pulled by people. When deep ploughing is carried out, it is not even two oxen pulling, but four oxen pulling the rake and plow. Thinking of people pulling rakes and plows, Duan Fengming felt a strong sense of joy brought by absurdity.

Just when Duan Fengming was laughing, Deputy Section Chief Zhang stepped forward, "This father-in-law, I have something I want to ask." ”

The old man was probably tired of scolding at this time, and when he heard someone asking, he immediately stopped, turned his head to look at Deputy Section Chief Zhang, and asked in an unkind tone, "Where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Jiangning. Listening to what the abbot said, the Duan family asked everyone to pull the rake and plough by manpower. Don't know how they do it? ”

Duan Fengming was made angry by Deputy Section Chief Zhang's words, it was originally a nonsense statement that people pulled the rake and plow, how could Deputy Section Chief Zhang take it seriously. Such a complaining old farmer probably said nonsense.

"What is this, you ask? Is it difficult to go against the Duan family? ”

"If the Duan family really dares to do this, I will return to Jiangning City and say a few words in general."

The old man in his forties looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhang carefully, and then said coldly: "Hmph! Descendants, follow me. ”

Not long after, the old man arrived at the edge of the field outside the village, pointed to a rake and plow on the edge of the field and said to Deputy Section Chief Zhang: "I don't know what evil the people of the Duan family have fallen into, a few days ago I suddenly dragged out such a thing, and asked us to pull the rake and plow the land again, and said that this is the farm of the Xueguanfu." ”

Duan Fengming looked at this kind of rake plough carefully, those teeth were not deep, and they could probably complete the ploughing with a depth of less than ten centimeters. For the government's farms, this kind of thing has been eliminated, and the government farms have to plow 20 centimeters. However, even a 10-centimeter plough can start working. If you only use a hoe to dig the pit, the level is just a little stronger than the level of sprinkling seeds in the Tang Dynasty.

"This father-in-law, but I don't know if everyone has done what the Duan family ordered?"

"We are not cattle, how can we pull a rake and plow. Even if you don't die, you will use a bad waist. We are lying at home and can't move, and the Duan family will still give us food? The old man said indignantly.

When Duan Fengming heard this, he saw Deputy Section Chief Zhang's gaze again, so he shook his head and pretended not to see it. He did admit that the Duan family might not be good people, but Duan Fengming didn't believe that the Duan family would be stupid enough to believe that the tenant farmers would drag them to plough the land with rakes. In any case, such things have to be done with oxen, at most people and oxen pulling the harrow and plough. It is by no means possible to cultivate the land alone by manpower.

After Deputy Section Chief Zhang finished asking, he asked again: "Speaking of which, Zhangren, I saw that the trees on the mountain were all cut down, and this was also ordered by the Duan family, right?" ”

"That's the Duan family said that the government has collected the mountain, and the trees on the mountain must belong to the government. While these trees are still from the Duan family, we cut down three trees, and the Duan family wants two, and we can keep one. The forty-year-old man replied.

Duan Fengming rolled his eyes and chose to turn around and leave. Deputy Section Chief Zhang may not mean it, but the answers to every question he has now seem to only prove that the Duan family is a bad person. As a member of the Duan family, even if he didn't want to defend the family, Duan Fengming still couldn't face these facts with a smile.

Dragging his sore legs, Duan Fengming walked to the place where the boat was parked by the river. Seeing that the boat was parked, a thought suddenly popped up in Duan Fengming's mind.

The old man said that the Duan family asked everyone to use manpower to pull the rake and plough in order to learn from the official farm. Earlier, Duan Tiande asked Duan Fengming to teach the Duan family the secrets of cultivating the official farm. The brothers of the Duan family, who came to Duan Fengming's house the day before yesterday, said that Duan Tiande had already said similar things in the township.

Is what the old man said true? In order to deal with the patriarch Duan Tiande, the people of the Duan family came up with the feat of pulling a rake and plough with manpower.

Thinking of this, Duan Fengming laughed out loud. If everyone wasn't telling nonsense, this seemingly ridiculous thing would probably be the real explanation.

"Hey, Section Chief Duan, what are you laughing at?" The voice of Deputy Section Chief Zhang came from behind.

Turning his head, Duan Fengming told Deputy Section Chief Zhang his thoughts. After listening to this explanation, Deputy Section Chief Zhang didn't laugh, and it could be seen that he didn't feel anything funny about this. Not only did he not feel funny, Deputy Section Chief Zhang also found something to question from it, and he asked, "Since the Duan family here obviously knows that this can't work, why do they still do this?" ”

"Because it doesn't cost anything. Why can't you try something that doesn't cost money. ”

After a while, Deputy Section Chief Zhang slapped his thigh, "That's right!" You can still make a difference after trying something that doesn't cost money...... But how is this the same as some officials? ”

"In the past, the officials were also landlords."
