Chapter 270: Autumn Fu Thirty-Five
Liu Youren was stunned. In this way, Chen Minggang and his group's "field husband" was a fiction - it was just as he expected. Lao Ba is making excuses.
"Finally," he sighed, "the matter with Zhangtian is over."
"The matter of the third uncle's land is not over yet."
"how"
"Third uncle, look, this is the Australian administrative complaint reply letter. All the farmers who jointly submitted the complaint have one."
Liu Youren quickly opened another piece of squarely folded paper, which was also a printed document. The letterhead on it read very unceremoniously: Liu Youren, Liujiazhai, Lingao County.
Not even a basic title, just named. However, Liu Youren didn't care about this. He quickly read through the reply letter and immediately understood the meaning. He couldn't help but sit down slumped.
Looking at the meaning in the reply letter, the Australian husband's marriage will definitely go ahead. After a long dispute, the Australians don’t want Chen Minggang to marry him, but plan to do it themselves.
"Third uncle, what should we do about this matter? Now that Chen Minggang and his gang are finished, even if he wants to talk about it, there is no place to find anyone." Liu Guangbiao said, "Should we invite Zhou Qi to talk about the book that he just paid for the house?" Done, now he is a first-class celebrity under the Australians."
"You are totally wrong." Liu Youren shook his head, "Zhou Qi is not a famous person at all, he is just a cover. If we really want to reuse him, there will be no Grain Recruitment Bureau."
The general office of the Grain Recruitment Bureau is the county magistrate Wu Ya, and the sitting director is an Australian. In addition to holding the title of "household secretary", Zhou Qi was completely excluded from the grain collection affairs, and there was no sign of being popular at all.
"And if you go to find him now, I'm afraid he won't even dare to see you."
"What can we do?" Liu Guangbiao was very anxious - this was not a pretense, he was in charge of all the money and food in Liujiazhai, and the number of acres of land he started to start directly affected his own economic benefits.
Liu Youren was silent. He was also one of the grain farmers who signed a letter a few days ago. Now he went to discuss it with Huang Hankun and continued to write to Liu Dalin.
"I'm afraid it won't work." He immediately rejected his idea. Judging from the current situation, the Australians have given enough face to the Lingao gentry, and Chen Minggang and his group have just been punished. If I go to petition again, I am afraid that the other party will not be so polite - thinking about the rumor that has started to spread again recently. The various "witchcraft" of the Australians sent a chill down his back.
Huang Xunkun knew the news much earlier than he did in the county town, but there was no news at all. It seemed that the second son of the Huang family also had a guilty conscience and did not dare to expose it again.
What if we still follow the same approach as Chen Minggang and report part of it while concealing part? Last time we reported a new 230 acres. If it is less than this number, it is absolutely impossible. How much should we report?
Suddenly he was startled and remembered: Many people in Chen Minggang's group should now be in the hands of the Australians. These people know a lot about the farm conditions of local large households - take Zhou Qi for example, he knows clearly the actual amount of farmland in Liujiazhai. This person now relies on an Australian to become the household secretary, and he will most likely use this secret to please the Australians.
Fortunately, I thought of this section, otherwise I might have become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Third uncle, do you want to invite Chief Xun to come and talk?"
Liu Youren thought that the agricultural technicians from Tiandihui were at his home. He could test the Australian's tone - but he didn't have high hopes. Last time he asked Xun Suji about his "field husband" and used various means to trick him, but he still found nothing. This group of people is very tight-lipped.
"What is Chief Xun doing?"
"Teaching the workers how to use the threshing machine." Liu Guangbiao smacked his lips, "This thing is really easy to use."
Xun Suji's life was very fulfilling. The so-called fulfilling life meant that he was very busy every day. On the one hand, he has to be the executive vice president of Lingao Cereals, Oils and Food Corporation, as well as the director and chief engineer of the food factory. He also has to attend the "Chef Crash Course" in the national school every week. Finally, he has to work for Tiandi three times a month. Society's service - as technical guidance.
Finally, the Tiandihui was considerate of him and only arranged for him to be a big landowner, Liu Youren. There is no need to travel around like other agricultural technicians and need to travel everywhere.
Liu Youren has the largest amount of land among Tiandihui customers, and he is a key customer like Xuedian in Lingao County. Enjoy the services of specialized agricultural technicians.
For Xun Suji, the technical guidance of the Tiandi Association is a kind of vacation in his schedule. Liu Youren is a big landowner, and the living conditions in Liujiazhai are also very good. Xun Suji has a great time every time he goes to Liujiazhai. It's very comfortable, and you enjoy the treatment of a real landlord, not the treatment of a small rural landowner like Wan Lihui. Not only was he allocated a separate small courtyard, but he also sent two servants to do odd jobs for him.
The most hectic sowing and management phase is now over. Long-term workers gradually mastered new farming methods. During the entire planting process, Xun Suji used new technologies and management methods to solve thorny problems that could not be solved for a long time in the past, giving farmers a sense of trust in Tiandihui's "Australian Farming Methods". The arrival of the harvest convinced everyone even more.
Liu Youren's trust in him has also greatly increased. In the past, he always felt that Tiandihui's farm tools were too expensive, but now he will buy and use anything Tiandihui sells without hesitation. Sometimes I even take the initiative to ask if Tiandihui has launched any new agricultural materials.
Before this harvest, Tiandihui organized an agricultural tool factory to build a batch of pedal-operated threshing machines. Simple threshing machines also existed in ancient times, but in Lingao, people still used the most primitive method of beating rice ears on the side of wooden barrels, which was not only inefficient but also high in losses. Tiandihui made this threshing machine based on the drawings of a rural manual threshing machine from the 1990s: the shape is a rectangular box, and there is a pedal under the threshing end, and the threshing is driven by a belt. There is an iron wheel on the side of the machine, which is coaxial with the drum inside. The drum is equipped with a U-shaped curved ring, and the pointed part is nailed into the drum. There are iron wheels at both ends of the drum, and a row of parallel wooden beams in the middle. Use the rolling u-ring to thresh millet and peanuts. It is much faster than threshing rice ears directly on the barrel, and the loss during threshing is also very small.
This machine is not only convenient, but also lightweight. Two adult men can carry it. So as soon as the demonstration started, the first batch of ten units were snapped up by members.
Another type of equipment is the windmill winnowing machine, which uses a small windmill to lift the rice, replacing the artificial winnowing field commonly used in rural areas. Not only is it fast, but it also saves labor. Lingao's wind energy resources are quite abundant, and small windmills are not difficult for Shuochu Industry, which has mastered the ability to manufacture gears.
The two agricultural machinery equipment not only had a great response among Tiandihui users, but also opened the eyes of other farmers. Coupled with this year's autumn harvest, Tiandihui's customers have experienced bumper harvests of varying sizes, with output increasing by 30% to 50%. It created a big sensation.
"Pay attention to the rhythm and don't step too fast." Xun Suji, wearing a straw hat on his head, told the long-term worker who was threshing. Chang Gong nodded in understanding. Xun Suji went over to look at another one - something broke down and the belt was stuck.
He laboriously repaired it with the tools in his tool bag. The inferior parts manufactured by the machinery industry department had terrible tolerances, and they often had problems of one kind or another in operation. While he laboriously corrected the deformed parts and pulled the belt back onto the guide wheel, he also did not forget to teach a young worker around him the principles of the machine and how to troubleshoot simple faults.
Finally, the belt returned to its original position. Xun Suji stood up from the ground, beads of sweat falling from his head. He took off his straw hat and fanned himself boldly like the workers in the movie.
"With this look, I have to be rated as a model worker or something like that."
"Chief Xun, let's have some tea." The person who spoke well was none other than Liu Meilan. Ever since Liu Guangbiao planned to marry her to Xun Suji, he would go to her house every three days and tease her father. Liu Meilan's father finally reluctantly agreed.
As for the girl's own opinions, no one took them seriously at this time. So Liu Meilan is going to marry Xun Suji. In order to create opportunities, every time Xun Suji came to Liujiazhai, Liu Meilan often asked Liu Meilan to bring tea and water, and sometimes she even took the initiative to send some fruits to where he lived.
Uncle Liu's plan was to let Xun Suji fall in love with it. As soon as he mentioned it, he immediately agreed. Unexpectedly, Xun Suji was like a humble gentleman. Every time Liu Meilan came to present something, he was always very polite.
Xun Suji didn't know that such a good thing was waiting for him. Not to mention that Liu Meilan's frequent appearance under his eyes was not interpreted as some kind of signal to propose marriage - on the one hand, otakus are always slow to love relationships between men and women, and on the other hand, they really don't understand the way of love in the 17th century.
"Thank you so much, Miss Liu." Xun Suji took the tea bowl and drank a large bowl in one breath. The tea is bitter and astringent, but it is very comfortable to drink to relieve heat and quench thirst.
Liu Meilan couldn't help but smile when she saw his cow drink. This man was so different from what she imagined as the Australian chief minister. This man was not good-looking. Although his skin was white, his movements were not at all like the handsome young master described in the 00 novels. He looked very vulgar. Moreover, he also did farm work himself. She always felt that a young master with real status was I won’t do farm work by myself. Only landowners like her family would follow long-term tenant farmers to the fields themselves.
Liu Meilan was very reluctant when her elder wanted to marry this Australian. What she liked was the young master of a small landowner in Linzhuang. He looks very polite and has just "enrolled" in school. Liu Meilan had seen him several times at temple fairs in the countryside and had always had fantasies about him. ,.
