Although Takahashi's unit trains very hard in peacetime, and the tasks it performs are often first-class dangers, the treatment in life is quite good.
As soon as Gao Qiao Nan tasted it, he knew that this was old rice, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks, not because he didn't dislike the rice that was not delicious, but thought of another question: "Village Chief Mu, I see that you have cultivated a lot of rice fields outside the village, how is the harvest this year?"
In fact, Qian Tiandun had already asked this question to the villagers' representatives once before, and Gao Qiao Nan also heard it next to him at that time, but at this time he wanted to ask it again - since this village took the initiative to hold a hospitality, and even took out the sour fruit wine, how could it use aged rice to cook rice?
Mu Qing responded honestly: "This village has a total of 700 acres of paddy fields, and a total of about 130,000 catties of grain were harvested last season. "In terms of yield, this level is indeed surprisingly low, and the yield of rice per mu on Hainan Island is generally four or five hundred catties, which is almost two or three times as much as here.
"And what about the new rice you harvested this year?" asked Takahashi. According to the time calculation, when the rice was harvested, Shibashi had already fled overseas, and it was unlikely that he would sneak back quietly to exploit these immigrants, so Takahashi Minami wanted to find out where this year's new rice went.
"This ......" Mu Qing probably didn't expect Takahashi Nan to ask such a question, and thought that he was dissatisfied with this treatment, so he hurriedly accused: "Xiaomin doesn't dare to snub adults, but there is really no new rice ...... in the village at this time."
"I'm asking you where Shinmi went. Takahashi Minami didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, then frowned and interrupted him: "Answer whatever you ask, don't talk nonsense about anything else!"
Mu Qing trembled and replied: "New rice...... The natives in the neighborhood are leaving......"
"It's the natives who come here every month to make trouble?" Takahashi Minami asked angrily.
"Yes......" Mu Qing couldn't figure out the purpose of Takahashi Nan's question, so he could only explain cautiously: "If you don't give them to them, the village will not be peaceful, and the village is young and strong, and you can't compete with them......"
"Do they just grab it or do they exchange it?" Takahashi Minami immediately asked the next question.
"They'll trade deerskins, herbs, and some game, but they're not that valuable......"
"Is that a forced purchase and forced sale? And then you will sell these things to Bengang and use them to buy old rice?"
Most of the indigenous tribes living in the mountainous areas on Taiwan Island are at the level of slash-and-burn farming, and some of them are not even comparable to the Li Miao cottages on Hainan Island, and naturally they do not grow rice in the plains. However, they could use their military superiority to coerce Han Chinese immigrants to barter food for them. Of course, the passive side does not have the right to set the price of the transaction, so it is probably up to the natives to decide what to exchange for and how much food to exprove. If the Han Chinese immigrants are unwilling to cooperate, then the natives do not even need to resort to extreme measures such as attacking the village, as long as they continue to harass the village and make it impossible for the villagers to cultivate the farmland outside the village
Although the grain production of Fengrong Village is low, it is barely self-sufficient, but because of the coercion of the indigenous tribes, they can only passively accept the trading terms offered by the other party, sell the grain they have worked hard to grow at a very low price, and then take the goods given by the natives to the merchants of Bengang to exchange for aged rice. In this process, the villagers were first exploited by the natives once, and then they were exploited by the grain merchants again when they went to Bengang to buy grain, so it is no wonder that the village looks so poor.
After sorting out the mystery of this matter, Takahashi Minami calmly picked up the rice bowl and began to eat. Obviously, these indigenous tribes who oppress Fengrong Village will not give up such a good advantage, and in the future, Haihan will inevitably face a similar situation when they settle immigrants to this place. Obviously, this kind of problem cannot be solved by simply swallowing one's anger, and in the end it is necessary to take some more direct means -- such as getting the military to intervene. In terms of the natural environment of the island of Taiwan, there is really no team in the Haihan militia that is more suitable than the special operations unit under the command of Qian Tiandun to carry out military operations here.
Compared with the opponents that the special operations forces have encountered in the past, the tribal armed forces on the island of Taiwan not only have more primitive weapons and equipment, but also have a big gap between their combat system and the real army. Although the two sides have not really been in contact at present, neither Qian Tiandun nor Gao Qiao Nan is afraid of the indigenous tribes on the island, and the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is not something that one of them can make up for if he is more familiar with the terrain of the battle.
After a brief meal, Takahashi Minami asked his subordinates to go around the village in shifts to check the situation. He wasn't worried that the villagers here would do anything wrong to their subordinates, after all, there were still large troops outside the village, and even if someone wanted to make trouble, it was unlikely that they would choose this moment. Takahashi Nan himself also brought a class and asked Mu Qing's grandson to take him to investigate in the village.
Takahashi Minami randomly selected a few families, and after entering the house, he first looked at the kitchen and rice tank, and sure enough, every household only had a small amount of aged rice, and in the kitchen, except for the fish, shrimp and crabs caught in the river, there was basically no other meat in the kitchen. As for the poultry and livestock that ordinary farmers are accustomed to seeing, they are a rarity here. When Takahashi Nan asked, he learned that this village was not without raising livestock, but after raising them, almost all of them were sold to Bengang for grain. The stewed chicken that was served to the table earlier was also a hen that laid eggs, and there were only two hens left in the village, and one was left for breeding.
Subsistence is a problem, not to mention other conditions. The existing conditions for education and medical care are basically zero, and the most literate people in the village have only studied in private schools for two years in their early years, and they have basically forgotten what they have learned. At present, the illiteracy rate in the village is more than 90 percent, and only two families have sent their children to a local private school because they have relatives in Bengang. There is no professional doctor in medical treatment, and if there is a headache and brain fever, the villagers rely on their experience to get some herbal decoction water to deal with the past, and if they are lucky, they will recover, and if they are unlucky, they can only accept their fate. The nearest clinic also has to go to Bengang, and the dozens of miles in between are insurmountable obstacles for the seriously ill.
The following will be re-edited later to prevent theft
Although the unit to which Takahashi belongs is trained very hard in peacetime, and the tasks it performs are often first-class dangers, the treatment in life is quite good. In the past, when I was stationed in Annam, all the rice I ate was the high-quality rice supplied to the nobles of Annam, and the quality of this rice could be eaten as soon as Takahashi Minami entered it.
As soon as Gao Qiao Nan tasted it, he knew that this was old rice, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks, not because he didn't dislike the rice that was not delicious, but thought of another question: "Village Chief Mu, I see that you have cultivated a lot of rice fields outside the village, how is the harvest this year?"
