Chapter 209

As soon as the inspector went to work, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stood respectfully in front of their grain bags, looking anxious and panicky as if they were facing an enemy, for fear that the grain they had finally brought would not pass the checkpoint.

The inspectors are often cowhide and arrogant, often with a cigarette in their mouth and a shining steel fork in their hand.He didn't care how anxious the people in the queue were, he just went through the acceptance checks one by one in a leisurely manner.

Every time he came to a pile of grain sacks, he inserted his steel fork into the sacks filled with rice, like a pig butcher stabbing a live pig.The owner of this grain bag would definitely tremble nervously, as if the steel fork had been inserted into his body.The inspector then spreads the taken out grains in the palm of his hand and examines them carefully to see if the grains are plump and bright in color, and then puts them in his mouth one by one, chewing them gently to see if they are dried in the sun.

The food inspectors will have flattering smiles on their faces, don't dare to show their air, stare wide-eyed, and look at the inspector submissively, waiting for him to make a life-or-death verdict on their own food.

Those who pass the inspection will happily go forward to the scale with the pass bar.The unqualified ones usually went to the back drying or passed the windmill.

The cement and grass fields in the grain depot are always full of piles, and those that are returned to the sun basically have to be taken home. You said that it is so hot and the distance is long, is it easy to go back and forth like this?

Crossing a windmill is also a terrible thing for the common people.Farmhouse windmills are hand-operated windmills, but grain depot windmills are often electric windmills with strong winds. Those who can pass this test must be solid, full and impeccable millet.The ones that are slightly soft will definitely be blown away by strong winds, not to mention the grains.Therefore, more than one-third of the rice that has been requested by the inspector to pass the windmill is often lost.

In the process of delivering public grain, people who were judged by the inspectors to be unqualified continued to leave with sighs.The whole team wriggled slowly like a seriously injured snake.Every time the team moves forward, the adults are busy carrying the grain bags forward, and the children are watching the grain bags from behind.Before reaching the scale, I don't know how many bags of grain to move over and over again.

The sun is ashamed, and people can only wait patiently even though they are anxious.Looking at the dense piles of grain sacks beside him and the busy people walking between the piles, and smelling the smell of millet and sweat, Zhang Tao felt mixed feelings in his heart. The suffering of the people is really worse than coptis.

Zhang Tao’s father also took this opportunity to educate his children earnestly, saying, “Look, the life of a farmer is not easy! You only have to concentrate on studying, throw away your three feet and six feet, and eat public meals, and you will be considered a carp leaping over the farm gate. "

When it was their turn to inspect Zhang Tao's food, the whole family suddenly became nervous.The inspector inserted the steel fork into the grain bag expressionlessly, put a few grains of rice into his mouth, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhang Tao's father hurried forward, gave the inspector a pack of torch smoke, and at the same time said in a low voice, "Please take care of me! My food has been drying for several days, and I still choose the most plump grains to pack."

The inspector took the cigarette as a matter of course, and then waved his hand, it was considered a pass.

After queuing for a while, we arrived at the checkpoint.Zhang Tao's father said a lot of good things with his smiling face, hoping that the public who weighed the scales would be less deducted from the scale.

It is his business to pour the grain into the granary.Leading to the tall granary is a single-plank bridge made of simple wooden boards, with some small non-slip wooden strips fixed on the wooden boards.When dumping the grain, people carried a hundred-pound grain bag and climbed tremblingly along the wooden planks with trembling legs.Climb to the top of the grain pile and release the bag, and dump the grain.At this point, the shoulders of the people will be relaxed, and the hanging hearts can be put down, and the task of paying public food is basically completed.

Zhang Tao has been to the granary several times with his father, and that strange scene is still unforgettable for him.The yellow millet piled up like a mountain in the huge palace-like granary.Gushan is semi-conical near the door, from the floor to the roof, it is really majestic and majestic.The yellow light of the grains is shining, dazzling, making people feel like they are in a golden world.A grain of millet is insignificant, but the accumulation of dozens of tons of rice is extremely shocking.The rice comes from countless different villages, from paddy fields of different shapes and sizes, and even from different varieties, and then it will be transported to various places, major cities, thousands of households, and those who eat public food. hands.

How should all this be lamented?Zhang Tao's eyes were blurred, and his thoughts were also blurred.In this golden world, one end is tied with crying, and the other end is tied with laughter.The crying world is those old farmers who tighten their stomachs and hunched their bodies, sweating profusely in the fields under the scorching sun.He was laughing while holding the golden grains, but they were crying in their hearts, because these grains were going to pile up the golden world that did not belong to them!The world of laughter is the huge team eating public food sitting comfortably in an air-conditioned room.

In the crying world, farmers undertake the heaviest, most complicated, and most technically-intensive and comprehensive work in the world. Their annual labor income may not be as good as the monthly income of those who eat public grain, but they have to pay public grain. These people are raised, and these people also enjoy various welfare benefits.

At this point, the author can't help but want to say a few more words.The agricultural tax was abolished, and the whole country rejoiced.However, there are still many experts and high-ranking officials who insist that this is the original culprit that affects land abandonment, and it will also affect farmers' sense of honor in paying taxes.Facing government subsidies, some farmers even feel guilty about being rewarded for nothing and benefiting in vain.

The former makes people angry, and the latter makes people sad.Angry, why do farmers have to tie their children and grandchildren to the land?Why can't we enjoy some of the benefits brought about by the development of the country?Fearing that the land will be abandoned, the state raises the price of grain and lowers the price of production materials to make farmers profitable. They feel that it is better than working as migrant workers outside. Don’t they rush to farm?

Sadly, when the agricultural tax was abolished, farmers did not realize that they were still taxpayers.my country's current tax system is dominated by indirect taxes. Indirect taxes account for about [-]% of tax revenue. They come from the value-added tax and business tax paid by enterprises in the circulation link.And these taxes are often added to the products by enterprises, and they are quietly passed on to consumers.For farmers, the agricultural machinery, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, mulch, and refined oil used in agricultural production all include value-added tax and consumption tax.These taxes could have been partially passed on to consumers, but because the price of agricultural products, especially grain, is controlled by the state, farmers cannot actually pass the taxes on the means of production to the downstream through prices, and most of them are still borne by farmers themselves.In addition, farmers pay taxes indirectly through other consumption, such as food, clothing, and use.Therefore, those who say that farmers will no longer pay taxes after the agricultural tax is abolished are completely nonsense.Farmers, as taxpayers, should also confidently regard enjoying public financial services as their own right, rather than a gift from the state. Thank you Guolong for your kindness.

well!Zhang Tao let out a long sigh, the title of this farmer's idiot really lived up to his name!Follow him and walk quickly to the house.
