Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 82

"The villain's name is Zhang Xingjiao, and he was originally a boy." The man knelt on the ground trembling, Guo Yi and the others did not impose their own concept of equality on these captives, and the unequal coercion was actually beneficial to them.

"Child body?" Mu Min frowned, "Virgin? He practiced boy skills?"

Xiong Buyou almost didn't laugh: "It's a child student, a scholar who didn't pass the exam."

Everyone looked at this man carefully. Although he was dressed in rags and had a dark complexion, his hands and feet were not thick, and he was not a man of hard life.

Zhang Xingjiao saw that they were smiling, and sighed self-deprecatingly: "The villain can't study well, let the vice masters laugh at me. My family is an aborigine here. I have been farming for several generations, and my ancestors have passed down a few acres of land. There is a big surname named Gou in the village. , because a few wealthy households came out of the Zongli, who could talk to the book offices in the yamen, and ran amok in the village. My father was angry, so he offered me to study, hoping to get a good name, support the family and not be controlled by his family. Bullying. But the villain is useless, and he has been unable to pass the exam."

Probably felt ashamed, and his face turned red: "Study needs money, and the family sold a few acres of land. The household is already a little tight, and the farm cattle at home suddenly died. Everyone said that it was the work of the Gou family." , we have no evidence, and we don't have the power to go to court with him. My father was very angry and anxious, and fell seriously ill. The farmer has no money left, so he has no choice but to sell the remaining four mu of land with a letter of agreement. I could have sold it for a little more money, but the Gou family, relying on their familiarity with the book office in the yamen, forcibly prevented other big families from buying, and ruthlessly smashed the land price, and the money they got for selling the land was not as good as usual half……"

"Buy and sell by force." Mu Min nodded sympathetically.

"The land was sold, but after my father found out about it, he was even more annoyed. After a few months, the money was spent and no one was left—" Zhang Xingjiao wiped his tears, "That's not enough, the Gou family would be so evil-hearted. I hooked up with the master in charge of money and grain in the yamen, and never transferred the four acres of money and grain. My land has been sold, and I still have to pay money and grain every summer and autumn. How can there be such an unreasonable thing in the world?"

Is there such a thing?Several people were surprised.This was a very common thing in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was called to sell the land to sell the land, but the tax burden was a little bit, and the buyer did not have to pay taxes and grain.Farmers are often forced to flee after losing their land.

"In recent years, the money and grain of the co-author of the imperial court have been very heavy, and Liao's salary has been increased. This is a hardship for such a small family like me! The villain asked the buyer why he didn't transfer the money and grain? It was clearly stated in the document. The owner of the Gou family said I have already told the masters in charge of money and food in the yamen that it has nothing to do with him if the money and food have not been transferred. The villain ran a few times in the city, but was scolded by the masters, saying that the villain is a troublemaker."

There was no sound in the tent.The captives sitting on the ground waiting for the trial were deeply moved by what he told. Most of them felt wronged in one way or another. Hearing his miserable words, some wept silently, and some bit their lips tightly, thinking Thinking of what happened to me, I feel resentful.

"The sold land has to be forced to pay money and food. As soon as the deadline for finishing the food is up, the government servants will bring a summons with fire signs, water and fire sticks, iron chains, and handcuffs, and go to the countryside to arrest people like wolves. Once at home, It is indisputable to say that he beats anyone he sees, smashes pots and bowls when he sees them, and catches the villain in the county to chase after each other. Every three days, he beats the little man until his body is shattered, and he has to show the shackles to the public... It is impossible to survive. Fortunately, there were a few schoolmates who studied in the county school back then. They only spared their lives by asking for guidance and interrogation. When they returned home, the Gou family colluded with the servants again to replace the villain In the name of taxation and food, he threatened the villain, and took away some of the family's homestead and grave foundation with empty money and real deeds. The pitiful family's ancestral graves have been dug by him..." At this point, he beat his head On the ground, crying and crying.

This time we were going to fight, the big families in the village thought it was okay for him to die because he had no property and no family property, so they tied him up with the other three and sent him to the city as a slave. He was on the way to attack Bopu, but he was arrested because he was weak and couldn't run fast.

I also asked a few people who wanted to join the gang, and things were the same, they were all people who were persecuted by the big family government and couldn't survive, and everyone had blood feuds.Everyone sympathized with them.

"This matter should be reported to the Executive Committee." Mu Min wiped the red circles under her eyes, "The common people are too miserable, we must carry out land reform!"

Guo Yi was also very sympathetic, but he was not interested in the land reform, and he also expressed his sympathy for Mu Min's lament, so as not to be called cold-blooded, but he didn't say a word about the land reform—who knew that the leader How do you think!Newcomers should be more cautious.But from this matter he had an idea.This idea, combined with what he heard from Shao Zong today at the post-war review meeting of the executive committee last night, he felt that there was a high possibility of being adopted.

"Hit a big family?" Wen Desi looked at Xiao Zishan in surprise.

"Well," Xiao Zishan nodded, "to be exact, it's to beat the local tyrants and evil gentry."

"Zishan, we discussed it at the time, and we don't want to engage in land reform."

"We don't carry out land reform, we just attack big households. To put it bluntly, we just do justice for the heavens, rob the rich and help the poor." Xiao Zishan took out a few pages, "This is Guo Yi's suggestion and some of the things he obtained during the prisoner interrogation process. Materials. Use the information obtained by the interrogation prisoners to attack a group of big households with public anger. First, win the hearts of the people and warn the stubborn people not to confront us; second, they can obtain a large amount of food and supplies.”

These few pages recorded the situation of the big households with bad records provided by the captives, including population, defense, fields, property and so on.It is very detailed, and some even have a few pigs and cows at home, and gold and silver may be hidden anywhere.Literally an exhaustive heist guide.It is not difficult for the traveler to make a fortune as long as he follows the map.

Naturally, the so-called robbing the rich and helping the poor has mainly helped one's own poor since ancient times.But this set of things is very attractive to the common people. Although the common people do not actually get much benefit, subverting the daily order that oppresses them and knocking down the high-ranking people to the ground is still a good thing for many people. Full of allure.

The executive committee discussed it, and the proposal received strong support from a group of activists.For moderates, the original "hunting" is to randomly search for targets, which is likely to kill some people who should not be killed, harm the interests of a group of people who should not be harmed, and lay hidden dangers for future administrative construction. After the plan, the "hunting" plan can become clear-cut, with a slogan that can attract and inspire the people: "elimination of violence and safety of the good, robbing the rich and helping the poor."It's just the finishing touch.Both parties were satisfied, and had to look at Guo Yi differently.

"We really need to call a few large households to replenish supplies." Wu Nanhai, as the person in charge of the agriculture and catering department, lowered his voice and said to everyone, "I just wanted to remind you about the food problem."

He opened a notebook: "We store rice and flour at the rate of 1 kilogram per person per day for 60 consecutive days. The total reserve is 35 tons. After D-Day, most people are actually at 600- 800 grams of ration, because we can ration more protein and fat, including canned food, instant food and sea fish, which reduces the demand for carbohydrates. In this way, the daily food consumption is 350 kg, so the food consumption is less than expected. Reserve ratio Expected to last about 15 more days. But this figure does not include captives.

"The number of captives given to me by Wu Debao today is 138, calculated based on the ration of 300 grams per person per day-if you want them to do heavy physical work, this ration is actually not enough-you will have to consume more every day starting tomorrow 40 kilograms of grain, this is not a small number, we must open up the source of grain as soon as possible."

"What about our own grain planting plan?" Xiao Zishan knew that Wu Nanhai's agricultural team had brought countless essences of modern agriculture.

"In the past, there were no manpower, and now there are more captives. Hainan can harvest three times a year. But now it is the period of the Little Ice River. I don't know how cold Hainan is. I have to ask the captives to decide what to plant. .”

"I remember that there was snow in Hainan in the Ming Dynasty."

"This should be a special case, but the temperature is a few degrees lower for sure. It's okay to harvest twice a year. I hope to allocate more captives to me. To be honest, I don't feel at ease with otaku farming..."

Xiao Zishan wrote down his request in his notebook.

"There is also table salt, which needs to be found as soon as possible or self-produced. The agricultural group has a ton of table salt, which is enough for the time being, but now because of the need to make a lot of pickled products, it is consumed quite quickly. Other departments also need it, so they all apply to the agricultural group , which makes it difficult for me."

"Salt is not difficult, is it? I remember that Hainan was one of the first places in China to develop large-scale salt drying. There are many salt fields along the Beibu Gulf and Qiongzhou Strait."

"We need to start building a salt farm as soon as possible."

"That's easy to say," Wang Luobin was full of confidence. "When I was a child in Guangxi, I often went to the salt field by the sea, and I knew how to dry it." He frowned. , if we use manpower, the labor force is not enough now.”

"No need to bother, we can grab it..." Yu Eshui opened a book, "According to the county records, there is an official salt field on the Mayao Peninsula not far from us, and the salt there is probably enough for us. "

"Go grab the salt. The chemical department needs it. Get some manpower."

"Let's sort out what items need to be met. Let's talk about how to allocate manpower."
