Chapter 230 The days are getting more and more promising
Yan Bugui's current condition,
It is similar to a question that He Yuzhu saw on the Internet later.
This is similar to the question that many people on the Internet have asked about why landlords would rather leave their houses unrented for a year or two than lower the rent.
However, those landlords never expected that if they did not lower the price at that time, the house would not be rented out in the next one or half a year.
If they had known earlier, they would have been willing to give a few discounts, not to mention a small reduction.
After all, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat.
Now it's the same with Yan Bugui. He only said he was willing to share the money with me now that he knows the outcome of the matter.
If I had really helped him just now, he would definitely have a different expression.
So after hearing Yan Bugui's words, He Yuzhu just smiled, then changed the subject and started asking about the opening of school.
Seeing He Yuzhu asking about the start of school,
Yan Bugui immediately thought of the incident when Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi stabbed him in the back during dinner today.
He immediately snorted coldly.
"It's just the next two days. When school starts, I will definitely go talk to Jie Cheng and his class teacher.
If Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi are not properly managed, they will definitely grow crooked in the future.
I need to ask Teacher Li to help correct it."
Seeing that Yan Bugui's words were meant to seek revenge, He Yuzhu could only mourn for them for three seconds in his heart.
really,
Not long after school started,
Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi complained to He Yuzhu every other day, saying that they were criticized by their teachers at school every day.
The teacher at school seemed to be picking on them on purpose, and they didn't know what they had done to offend him.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu did not say anything.
Because he had more important work to do now, he was in no mood to care about such trivial matters as Xu Damao and others being criticized.
The autumn harvest is just two days after school starts. When the wheat is harvested and stored in the warehouse,
The scene in Beijing was completely different from previous years.
People in the suburbs lined up in long queues, pushing carts of grain to the grain stations in various districts to pay their taxes.
However, the people were so enthusiastic and the number of people paying their taxes was so great that it was beyond the expectations of the grain station system which had just been established.
They were not well prepared.
So the next day, even He Yuzhu, a clerk in the Public Security Bureau, was temporarily seconded to the grain station to help.
He Yuzhu set out from the courtyard early in the morning, carrying an abacus on his back. After gathering at the designated location, he was sent by the grain station leader to the township grain station outside the city to help.
Entering the town facing the rising sun, He Yuzhu originally thought that he and his group were among the first to arrive.
Unexpectedly, before I even got to the grain station, I saw farmers from nearby villages queuing up near the grain station to collect their grain.
The carts were filled with bags of food.
Waiting for the grain station to open.
Looking at these simple and honest people, He Yuzhu and his colleagues couldn't help but quicken their pace and went straight to the grain station to report.
The comrades at the grain station were waiting for them.
The leaders of the grain station shook hands with He Yuzhu and others one by one, and said enthusiastically,
"Comrades, it's great that you're here. We've been looking forward to your arrival for so long that you've finally arrived. You've helped us out of our urgent need."
As time was tight, the two groups only exchanged pleasantries briefly.
Looking at the huge crowd outside, the leader of the grain station ordered the gate to be opened to collect grain without caring whether it was time to go to work or not.
Although He Yuzhu experienced the issue of paying public grain in the 90s,
But it was only the 50s, and it was the first year for the entire Xia Dynasty to pay public grain, and all the systems were still in their infancy.
In addition, they were only temporarily seconded to help, and they didn't know much about the grain collection procedures, so they could only help carry the grain and keep records. He Yuzhu chatted with the people while helping them unload the grain from the carts.
And the common people echoed him,
I watched the inspector insert a hollow iron rod into the grain bag, and then looked expectantly at him as he threw the wheat grains into his mouth and chewed them until they were crunchy.
I only breathed a sigh of relief after it was confirmed.
Then I started to sigh,
"Our current Government Affairs Council is better. It can just check and weigh it.
It's nothing like the bunch of grandsons in the Beijing governor's office before. If we don't give tribute, they will say that our grain is not up to standard. Even if it is up to standard, the grain has to be put into special baskets before it can be weighed.
There are so many reasons involved, which makes us ordinary people suffer a lot when paying grain taxes every year.
We have to pay a lot more food to make up for it.
It's nothing like our State Council, which gives what it should and never bullies the people."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man smoking a pipe next to him said with a smile,
"hehe!
Look at what you said. The State Council has specially promulgated a land law to distribute the land of the local tycoons to us poor people.
It's good enough that the people in the Beijing government office don't try to plunder us.
When will they take us ordinary people into consideration? "
Then someone else said,
"For us in Peking, this land law is late.
In our village, after the autumn harvest in September last year, the comrades of the work team gathered the land deeds of the local tycoons and burned them, and then began to put up boundary stakes and divide the land again.
During the spring plowing season this year, we planted our own land and felt like we had endless energy.
Even during the slack season, I still have to go to the fields twice a day.
Watching the seedlings in the field break through the soil and grow, I feel that life is getting more and more promising. Just thinking about it makes me feel that we are so happy now. "
"Aren't we the same?
Not only do I have to walk around the fields twice every day, I even wish I could eat and live in the fields.
And I heard that the land around Beijing was distributed before April this year, which was much earlier than the land law promulgated by the Executive Yuan. "
……
Seeing the people smiling and talking about the huge changes that have taken place this year compared to last year,
He Yuzhu smiled and asked,
"My dear uncles, judging from your appearance, this year's harvest should be pretty good! Have you saved enough food at home? After paying the public grain tax, will it be enough to last until next autumn harvest?"
When He Yuzhu asked, all the nearby farmers nodded with a smile.
"That's enough, how could it be not enough!
You don't know, little comrade.
This year we are farming for ourselves and working much harder than we did last year when we were tenant farmers for the local tycoon, so naturally the harvest is much better as well.
After paying the public grain today, the remaining grain will not only be enough to last until next autumn harvest, but it can also be sold for a lot of money.
If the weather is good next year, I can save some more gifts.
Maybe we can find a wife for our second son and give birth to a big fat grandson."
