Apocalypse protection little sister-in-law

Chapter 312 Questioning
Xiao Ke waited for a moment of confusion before speaking again, drawing everyone's attention back to himself: "I know, everyone's life is not good these days, but think about the lives of those 3000 million people who died , and many compatriots who are on the verge of death, I still have the audacity to ask everyone to extend a helping hand to other compatriots who are in desperate situations while you are surviving. Next, I will read the document from the Xizhou Municipal Government."

The content of the document is nothing more than the re-imposition of farmland tax, and the collection of [-] catties of grain per mu of land.

The villagers who hadn't recovered from their grief were so shocked that they felt dazed, some couldn't believe their ears.After asking several times and getting the same affirmative reply, everyone put aside their sadness and became angry.

How much is five hundred catties of grain?Even before the farmland tax was abolished, such a high percentage had never been collected.Such a high ratio probably dates back to the rent paid by the tenant farmers to the rich and rich landlords for farming before liberation.

In the past, when the situation was good, thousands of catties of grain per mu of land were not lost, which was equivalent to handing over half of the grain.Besides, at this time of year, if the rice is planted this season, it is not certain how much food can be recovered.Could it be that they have to starve themselves to death in order to help others?

Facing everyone's angry questioning, Xiao Ke remained calm.He has seen many such scenes in the past two days, and it is not surprising at all.At first, he had some patience to persuade, but now he is too lazy to pay attention to these meaningless questions.No matter how much they resisted in their hearts, they still had to give in to themselves in the end.

Glancing secretly at the team of heavily armed soldiers behind him, Xiao Ke felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

In the past, relying on his family's background, he had always lived a life of wind and rain, and no one dared to offend and despise him.But that's all for the face of the Xiao family. Except for one identity, he has nothing worthy of other people's attention.

But here, none of these people knew the identity behind him.But now he has become the person who can dominate their future lives.Now that there is no communication and it is inconvenient to come and go, he seems to be a feudal official and a prince.

This kind of feeling that everyone has to look up to themselves is really great.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. This is something that has already been decided, and there is no point in arguing again. But I understand everyone's difficulties, and I will be the master for everyone." Xiao Ke had a complacent smile on his lips, stood in front and said.

The villagers of Chitose Village all stopped, looking at Xiao Ke with faint hope in their hearts.

Xiao Ke smiled and said: "Originally, the superiors asked to pay the grain first, and then divide the fields. Considering that everyone has consumed a lot of grain after a winter, I will consider for everyone and make a compromise for you. Everyone will pay three months first. One hundred catties of grain, after this season's grain harvest, make up the remaining two hundred catties of grain. Does this make everyone feel better?"

After all, the five hundred catties of grain still could not be dispensed with, at best it could be regarded as an installment payment.The villagers of Chitose Village didn't think it was any good.

He still wants to fight again, but Xiao Ke has already shown an impatient expression, looking at them coldly, making all the villagers feel cold, knowing that it is useless to fight again, so they can only look at the village chief for help .

But Xiao Ke did not give them time, and asked them to take out the land register of Chitose Village: "There are records of all the land in the past, but it is no longer valid. Now whoever pays the grain first can get the land first. I will give another privilege, allowing the person who pays the grain first to pick first. If the original head of the selected land is willing to pay the grain, then he can keep his own land. Take it away. By the way, let me remind you again, don’t think that if you don’t hand it over, this land is still yours. There are so many people in the town who don’t have land, and they all want it. If you don’t hand it over, then I can only hand it over to you. Those who are willing to pay the grain will plant."

This is simply a threat.If they don't pay the food, the land will no longer be theirs.If it is really handed over to those people in the town, they must stay in the village. With the current foreign population, Qiantose Village is no longer what it used to be.

"Village chief, speak up! You have to decide for us!"

"Village chief, they are trying to kill us, you can't just ignore it!"

"village head……"

Zhu Xiaowu squatted aside and smoked with his head down, no one could see what he was thinking.It's just that everyone is now focusing on him, and he has no choice but to stand up and make a statement.

After exhausting the last two puffs of his cigarette, Zhu Xiaowu stood up and walked in front of Xiao Ke: "Comrade Xiao, does this five hundred catties of grain count as farmland tax?"

Surprise flashed in Xiao Ke's eyes, not knowing what he meant by asking, so he raised his eyebrows and nodded indifferently.

Seeing him nodding his head, Zhu Xiaowu continued to ask: "Since it is a tax, the country used to subsidize our agricultural supplies, so this time it has to be distributed to us as well?"

Xiao Ke's face froze, and he was speechless for a while.Although he doesn't care about things, he has been influenced by what he has seen and heard at home, and he always has some understanding.In the past, the state collected farmland tax with material subsidies, but now, where can he get these things?Besides, he didn't intend to subsidize it at all.This tax is just a name.

Zhu Xiaowu didn't know if he saw anything, but he just continued: "It's not easy for us farmers to farm. Now there is no place to buy agricultural fertilizers, so the yield will definitely be much lower. In addition to this terrible weather, can the grain production of one mu of land be enough?" I don’t know five hundred catties. I understand what Comrade Xiao said, we are all compatriots, and we can help one person, but we can’t starve the farmers to death in order to help others, right? Comrade Xiao, what do you think?”

Just as Xiao Ke was about to speak, Zhu Xiaowu took another step forward: "There are not many households in the village who can pay the tax of five hundred catties, and I believe there are not many households in the town. If everyone can't pay the tax, it will be difficult for this place to succeed." Put it here? I believe this is not what Comrade Xiao wants to see."

Xiao Ke was blocked, and for a moment he looked at the village head who had been disdainful.Although he is a little clever, he is not the person on the tablet.In the past, he always felt that he was just a low-level people, and no one would dare to fight against him, so he naturally didn't pay attention to these people.I didn't expect to be blocked by a small village chief who didn't like it today.

He definitely couldn't answer these questions, because he never thought about it at all, and what he said earlier was just a show, and no one dared to compare the truth with him.He clenched his fists, a little annoyed.

Of course he could rely on the soldiers behind him to suppress everyone, but at that time he really lost all face.Besides, this place is different, because there is a Lian Yao.

Another important purpose of his being assigned here is to take Lian Yao away.

He is not stupid. When his father explained the task, his tone was very solemn.Lian Yao is not important to their family, if it is because of Yang Wei, he himself does not believe it.It can only be for other reasons, maybe even uncle's intention.

But what is so special about refining Yao?Will heal?
Xiao Ke belatedly remembered that since he came to Dongping Town, the people here are far better than those in Xizhou City.And the villagers of Chitose Village...

His eyes slowly swept across the faces of the people in front of him.

Among the people he has met after the end of the world, his spirit and complexion are the best.
