"The villain's name is Zhang Xingjiao, and he was originally a boy." The man shook his head and knelt on the ground. Guo Yi and the others did not apply their own concept of equality to these prisoners, and the unequal pressure was beneficial to them.
"A virgin?" Mu Min frowned, "A virgin? He practices boy skills?"
Xiong Buyou almost didn't laugh: "He is a Tongsheng, a scholar who failed to pass the exam."
Everyone took a closer look at this man. Although he was in rags and had a dark complexion, his hands and feet were not thick. He was not a man from a poor background.
Zhang Xingjiao saw some of their smiles and sighed self-deprecatingly: "This little guy can't study well, which makes my deputy laugh. My family is originally aboriginal here. We have been farming for generations and have several acres of land passed down from our ancestors. There is a big family named Gou in the village.
, because there were several wealthy families in the clan who could talk to the bookkeepers in the yamen, and they became tyrannical in the village. My father was angry, so he sent me to study in the hope that I could gain fame and support the family without being influenced by his family.
Bullying. But the villain is useless and he keeps failing the exam."
He probably felt embarrassed, and his face turned red: "Studying requires money, and my family sold several acres of land. The household income was already a bit tight, and the family's cattle suddenly died. Everyone said that it was the Gou family's work.
, we had no evidence and no power to file a lawsuit with him. My father was angry and anxious and fell seriously ill. The farmer had no money left, so he had no choice but to sell the remaining four acres of land with a written agreement.
It could have been sold for a few more bucks, but the Gou family, relying on their familiarity with the clerk in the yamen, forcibly prevented other large households from buying the land. The land price was severely reduced, and the money they got from selling the land was not as good as usual.
half……"
"Forced buying and selling." Mu Min nodded sympathetically.
"The land was sold, but after my father found out about it, he became even more angry. After a few months of delay, all the money was spent and no one was alive." Zhang Xingjiao wiped his tears, "Not to mention, the Gou family could be so bad-hearted.
, colluded with the master in charge of money and food in the yamen, and never transferred the four acres of money and food. My land has been sold, and I still have to pay money and food 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. The land was sold to reduce production and grain storage, but the tax burden was not much, and the buyer did not have to pay taxes and grain. This often caused farmers to
After losing their land, they were forced to flee.
"In recent years, the money and food provided by the imperial court have been extremely heavy, and the Liao's salary has also been added. This is very difficult for a small family like mine! The villain went to the buyer and asked why he didn't transfer the money and food? It was clearly written in the document. The head of the Gou family said
I have already told the senior officials in charge of money and food in the yamen that he has nothing to do with the money and food not being transferred. I went to the city a few times, but I was scolded by the senior officials, saying that I was a troublesome person."
There was silence in the tent. The prisoners sitting on the ground waiting to be brought to the court were deeply moved by what he told. Most of them had grievances of one kind or another. Listening to his miserable words, some cried silently and some bitten.
He pursed his lips, thinking about what happened to him, feeling resentful in his heart.
"The land sold was forced to pay money and grain. Once the deadline for collecting the grain came, the government officials would go to the countryside to arrest people with summons, water and fire sticks, iron chains, and handcuffs, like wolves and tigers. As soon as they arrived at home,
There is no room for explanation. He beats people when he sees them, smashes pots and bowls when he sees them. He takes the villain to the county and chases him. Every three days, he beats the villain until his body is completely bruised. He also has to shackle the public... He is not going to survive.
Fortunately, a few of my classmates who were studying at the county school were able to spare a small life by asking for advice, admonishing and interceding. When they returned home, the Gou family colluded with the servants to kill the villain on their behalf.
In the name of tax and grain, he intimidated the villain and took over some of the homestead and graves of the villain's family with money and real deeds. It's a pity that all the ancestral graves of my family have been dug up by him..." At this point, he made a fool of himself.
On the ground, the crying continued.
This time he was going to fight. Because he had nothing to gain and no family property, the big families in the village felt that it didn't matter if this man died, so they forcibly tied him up with three other people and sent him to the city as a civilian.
, he was originally on the way to attack Bo Pu, but he was caught because he was too weak to run fast.
I asked a few more people who wanted to join the gang, and the story was similar. They were all people who had been forced by the powerful government to survive, and everyone had a blood feud. After hearing this, everyone felt sympathy for them.
"This matter should be reported to the executive committee." Mu Min wiped her red eyes, "The people are suffering too much, we must carry out land reform!"
Guo Yi also felt sympathy in his heart, but he was not interested in land reform. He also expressed his sympathy for Mu Min's lament to avoid being called cold-blooded, but he didn't say a word about land reform - who knew the leader
What do you think! Newcomers have to be more careful about what they say. But he has an idea from this matter. This idea, combined with what he heard from Shaozong today about the content of the post-war review meeting of the Executive Committee last night, he felt
There is a high probability of being adopted.
"Attacking big players?" Wen Desi looked at Xiao Zishan with some surprise.
"Well," Xiao Zishan nodded, "To be precise, they are attacking local tyrants and evil gentry."
"Zishan, we discussed at that time not to engage in land reform."
"If we don't carry out land reform, we will attack the big households. To put it bluntly, we will do it for the sake of justice, robbing the rich and giving to the poor." Xiao Zishan took out a few pages of paper, "This is Guo Yi's suggestion and some of the things he obtained during the prisoner interrogation process.
Materials. Use the information obtained during the prisoner interrogation to attack a group of large households that have public anger. Firstly, they can win over the people and warn the stubborn people not to confront us; secondly, they can obtain a large amount of food and supplies."
These pages record the information provided by the captives about the large households with bad records, including population, defense, fields, property, etc. It is very detailed. Some even include the number of pigs, cows, gold and silver in the family.
It can be found anywhere. It is simply a detailed robbery guide. Travelers can easily make a fortune by following the pictures.
Naturally, the so-called robbing the rich and giving to the poor has been mainly to help one's own poverty since ancient times. However, this set of things is extremely attractive to the common people. Although the common people do not actually get much benefit, it can subvert the system that oppresses them.
The daily order of things, knocking down those who stand high to the ground, is still full of temptation for many people.
The Executive Committee held a discussion, and this proposal received strong support from a group of radicals. For moderates, the original "hunting" was a random search for attack targets, which was likely to kill some people who should not be killed and damage a group of people.
The interests of those who should not be harmed will lay hidden dangers for future administrative construction. After adopting this plan, the "hunting" plan can become clear-cut, coupled with a slogan that can attract and agitate the people: "hoeing the poor to make peace, robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
It was the finishing touch. Both parties were satisfied, and they also looked at classmate Guo Yi in a new light.
"We really need to visit a few large households to replenish supplies." Wu Nanhai, as the person in charge of the agriculture and food department, lowered his voice and told everyone, "Originally, I wanted to remind you of the food problem."
He opened a notebook: "We reserve rice and flour at the rate of 1 kilogram per person per day for 60 consecutive days. The total reserve is 35 tons. After the d day, most people actually reserve 600-600 tons per day.
800g ration, because we can ration more protein and fat, including canned food, fast food and sea fish, which reduces the demand for carbohydrates. In this way, the daily food consumption is 350kg, so the food consumption is less than expected. Reserve ratio
It is expected to last about 15 days longer. However, this number does not include prisoners.
"Wude reported that the number of prisoners given to me today is 138. Calculated based on the ration of 300 grams per person per day - if they are to do heavy physical work, this ration is actually not enough - starting from tomorrow, they will consume more than 300 grams per day.
40 kilograms of grain, this is not a small number, we must open up sources of grain as soon as possible."
"Where is our own food planting plan?" Xiao Zishan knew that Wu Nanhai's agricultural team had brought countless essences of modern agriculture.
"In the past, we didn't have manpower, but now we have more captives, it's easier to handle. Hainan can harvest three crops a year in the 21st century. But now it's the Little Ice Age. I don't know how cold it is in Hainan. I have to ask the captives before I can decide what to plant."
.”
"I remember it snowed in Hainan during the Ming Dynasty."
"This should be a special case, but the temperature is definitely a few degrees lower. You can always harvest twice a year. I hope to allocate more prisoners to me. To be honest, I don't trust the otakus farming..."
Xiao Zishan wrote down his request in his notebook.
"There is also salt, which must be found as soon as possible or produced by ourselves. The agriculture group has a ton of salt, which is enough for now, but now it is consumed very quickly because of the need to make many pickled products. Other departments also have needs and have applied to the agriculture group.
, which makes it very difficult for me to handle.”
"Salt is not difficult to produce, right? I remember that Hainan was one of the first places in China to carry out large-scale salt production. There are many salt farms along the Beibu Gulf and Qiongzhou Strait."
"Construction of a salt farm must start as soon as possible."
"It's easy to say," Wang Luobin said confidently, "When I was a child in Guangxi, I often went to the salt fields on the seaside to play, and I know how to dry the salt." He frowned, "But drying salt is a hard life, and it's all mechanized production.
, in terms of manpower, the labor force is not enough now.”
"No need to bother, we can go grab it..." Yu Eshui opened a book, "According to the county records, there is an official salt farm on the Ma Niao Peninsula not far from us, and I think the salt there is enough for us.
"
"Go grab salt. The chemical industry department needs this very much. Get some manpower."
"Let's sort out what projects need to be met and then talk about how to allocate manpower."
