Chapter 119 Private plot
After a greeting, a young guard in Zhongshan suit came in from the side door and was about to take over the porcelain jar in Xue Xiang's hand. Unexpectedly, the mouth of the porcelain jar was originally covered with the cover of the jar. The guard did not lift it firmly, and the cover of the porcelain jar containing the peppers was slid down from the jar. Seeing that the porcelain jar was about to fall to the ground and smash it, the young guard turned pale. Just as the porcelain jar fell to the ground, he recruited one hand from the sky, pinched the porcelain jar accurately and hooked it back. It was Xue Xiang who took action.
As the porcelain lid slipped down, the smell of pepper in the jar could no longer be covered, and the strong spicy molecules spread in an instant. The guard was about to thank Xue Xiang, but the old leader said in surprise: "Pugar?" After that, the old leader quickly moved over, broke through the porcelain jar in the guard's hand, and smiled: "It's pepper! Just say, the taste of this hometown will never be forgotten wherever you go." After that, the old leader couldn't wait to open the other three porcelain jars and pointed at Xue Xiang and scolded: "What a smart little devil, your uncle is not as careless as you."
………….
The young guard sent Sanjiao to the kitchen as the old leader ordered, then turned back to the main hall. Xue Xiang went to another house to rest, but was stopped by the old leader: "What are he doing? Just let him listen to it next to him, it will be so broad and knowledgeable. Don't just show the courage of an ordinary man!"
When Xue Xiang heard this, his handsome face was frigid. It seemed that the old leader was dissatisfied with him going to the Qin and Tang dynasties alone, so he even used the courage of a man to comment.
The hearts of the big bosses also roared. Why is the old leader so eyebrowed by this boy? You know, they each brought their children to greet the old leader. However, after the New Year, they were all led to another house by the guards. I think that, what kind of person are the big bosses? If they speak, they must involve national policies. Even if they talk, they will show their strengths. How can the young boys hear about it? Even if they are geniuses like Jiang Chaotian, they are taken away by the young boys who have been sadly making soy sauce. Therefore, Xue Xiang is very eye-catching by the old leader.
Upon hearing this, the guard's eyes flashed with surprise. He turned around and wanted to move a chair for Xue Xiang, but was stopped by the old leader: "No need to worry, you are young and gentle. What kind of chair do you want? Standing can make you wake up your mind."
The old leader said the truth, and Xue Xiang immediately turned into a general who rolled the curtain and stood behind the old leader, listening to the big boss' conversation.
"Comrade Zhenhua, let's talk about how the situation is going on in the local area this time. Is it as good as the ones in the newspapers when studying agriculture in the Western Jin Dynasty?" The old leader spoke first.
"Old Nan, it's hard to describe it!" Comrade Zhenhua was in his fifties and his thin face was full of sorrow.
"It's hard to say, just say it slowly, lunch is still early. Even if you eat the three peppers sent by Lingli Gui, you have to moisten your throat. Come on, drink a sip of water, and say it slowly." After that, the old leader pushed the stone pottery tea cup in front of Comrade Zhenhua.
Comrade Zhenhua picked up the teacup as he said, "The comrades below have done their best and tried their best, but once the difficulty is over the world, there is no absolute truth! This time I mainly inspected Jianghan and Wuzhong provinces, and these two provinces can be said to have formed a sharp contrast. Wuzhong Province's overall situation is good. During the slack season, revolutionary committees at all levels organized labor to open up wastelands and build canals, cultivate fields, and build water conservancy work well, and the autumn grain production has also increased slightly. However, the problems in Jianghan Province are much more serious. Jianghan Province is a major grain-producing province with fertile land and thousands of lakes in the territory, and there is no shortage of land and water power at all. Some of the Jianghan Province's works
However, the Ministry did not exert its subjective initiative, and yelled slogans, destroyed forests and fields, and dug trenches everywhere. Among them, Jingkou and Hukou cities had the most serious problems. The primeval forests in Jingkou City were cut and bald; the two channels of Linong, which span the province, were originally intact and still useful, but were chiseled in the canal section of Hukou City. It was said that the Municipal Revolutionary Committee called for the construction of large canals to be expanded. As a result, in the rainy season, the lake water surged, and the dug channels did not have time to fill, and the two canals were washed away for dozens of miles. It was a pity!" After saying that, Comrade Zhenhua pounded the table hard, and the tea covers that were covered with tea jumped up.
After Comrade Zhenhua finished speaking, everyone was silent, as if they could see the green mountains turning into white land, and the fertile land turning into a marsh country. The old leader knocked on a teacup, which attracted everyone's attention and said warmly: "Learn from the Western Jin Dynasty, you will have achievements, mistakes, and you will be familiar with merits? Being familiar with me? Being too big? You have a calculation, and history will settle the general account for us. Don't be pessimistic. Seeing shortcomings is a good thing, you must also see achievements! Comrade Zhenhua, don't be depressed. Let me tell me how are the lives of the people now?"
Hearing this question, Comrade Zhenhua became energetic and said loudly: "I won't say anything else. If you say that the people have eaten enough in the past few years, it's not a nonsense; but if you say that there are people who starve to death, that's nonsense!" Comrade Zhenhua swears, everyone laughed loudly, and Xue Xiang also purses his lips and smiles. It's really rare that Comrade Zhenhua, who is famous, has such a humorous time.
Comrade Zhenhua saw that everyone was amused by his words, and his face was filled with sorrow, and then said, "The people did not starve to death, and the private land is the first priority! When I went down this time, I found a very interesting phenomenon. The crops in the private land always grow better than the public land of the production team. It's not that the private land distributed to each family is fat and the public land is thin. In fact, the public land is far closer to the water source than the private land, and the soil is loose and soft. Most of the members have put their efforts into their private land. I even saw some people holding small shovels of vegetables and pounding the soil in their private land in a wisp.
It must be fine, and even the little kids have to be taken to their own fields, not to mention the women's members who search for livestock manure in the village and move them to their own private fields. You said that if you work hard like this, the land you take care of as a treasure is not fertile or high yield? Speaking of this, there is another interesting thing. Some communes saw that the members' private fields were too fat, and came up with such a way to replace them with the members' private fields. Who knew that after the replacement, after two years, the fertile land that they exchanged with the members' plump land became thinner again, and the thin land they exchanged for the members' plump land was so fatter they were again."
After Comrade Zhenhua said that, everyone stopped talking. In fact, the story of replacing the land sounds quite comedic, but it is very uncomfortable to hear it in the ears of everyone here. Some things are the bottom line in the hearts of these pioneers and cannot be touched no matter what. This is the belief in this life!
"Sizizi", the old leader's teacup was so drunk that Xue Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the teapot on the table and added it to everyone in turn. He was about to return to his original position, but the old leader pointed at him: "Little smart ghost, I have listened for a long time, but I can hear something?"
Xue Xiang had known that the old leader would never just leave him to listen to the story, and would ask questions sooner or later. As soon as Comrade Zhenhua finished speaking, he had written a draft in his heart. At this moment, there were many difficulties and seemingly unsolvable questions. In fact, any elementary school student in later generations knew the answer. The key is that no one dared to say that answer at this moment, and Xue Xiang did not dare. Although Xue Xiang did not dare to say the answer, it did not prevent him from making his own point of view obscurely.
The old leader pointed Xue Xiang and everyone was surprised. The baby seemed to be less than twenty years old. He was the age of chasing chickens and dogs. Even if he made great contributions with his despair of luck, what achievements could he make when talking about these problems that he was still in a difficult position? Of course, not all the big guys here think this way. Among them, they vaguely knew that Xue Xiang or the extraordinary Jiang Geyang and Xu Zigan were quite curious, and wanted to hear what his high opinions were.
It's a mule or a horse, it's time to pull it out and run away now.
Xue Xiang said: "Old Chief, you all, you dare not tell me anything. The boy remembered a story he had heard before, and said it, he was afraid that he would taint the ears of the leaders."
When everyone heard that Xue Xiang was about to tell a story to him, they were all laughing and crying. Even though they knew that there must be a world in this story, they still felt awkward. Most of these people were enough to be Grandpa Xue Xiang's age, so how could the grandson tell his grandfather? Isn't it absurd?
"If you have something to say, Wen Zuo is so tramping. It seems that the smart ghost has to be changed to a rapper." The person who spoke was an old man with white eyebrows, who was the one who brought Xu Zi here.
Everyone laughed when they heard Mr. Wu’s “righteous words” and laughed. Xue Xiang also blushed and stopped keeping his mouth shut. He said, “It was said that there was an island country in the past, and the fields on the island were extremely limited and could not feed all the citizens at all. So some ministers suggested that the king consolidate the land and the people across the country, cultivate the fields and produce food, so that the citizens would have a job and would not starve to death. The king felt that this suggestion was very good, so he ordered the nation to implement it.
After the year, no one was idle, and no people starved to death, but the king was unhappy. It turned out that when the land was divided into the nobles, the king collected not much food, but he could finally maintain the operation of the entire kingdom. However, after the land was concentrated, the production income could only keep the people from starving to death, but the king lost the excess wealth to pay the ministers' salaries. The king was very worried about this and did not know how to resolve it, so he invited the wise man to give the country's finances.
Method. The wise man didn't say much, just said that he would first divide the land to each province, collect grain according to the tax rate you used to collect aristocrats, and look at it again next year. The king acted according to his words, and found that the income had increased in the coming year, and some provinces had actually started to have surpluses. The king didn't know what was going on, so he asked the wise man to ask the reason, but the wise man did not answer, but only asked the king to divide the land and divide it into various prefectures. Next year, the king would increase the grain harvested by the king than when he divided the land to the provincial level. This time, the king would no longer ask
The wise man divided the land year by year. The king found that every time he divided the land, the grain he collected increased, until he was divided into various villages. The grain he collected was more than ten times more than when he was centralized and unified. The king still could not understand the mystery of it, and sent people to summon the wise man to repay him, saying that the wise man had died. At this point, the king did not understand the truth until his death, but his descendants implemented this policy, and no one starved to death in the country, but instead became stronger and stronger."
Xue Xiang’s story is extremely simple and even a little naive. After hearing this, everyone’s face became gloomy.
