The land deed is 550 acres.
An account book records the annual farm rent of more than 500 dan; the owed grain rent of 200 dan, with an interest of 150 dan; the debt of 203 dan from Dayang, with an interest of 180 dan; and the grain storage of 110 dan.
The ocean is more than 1,000 yuan.
3 large yellow croaker gold bars.
6 big guns.
2 shell guns and more than 500 rounds of ammunition.
In addition, Gao Jianwu "framed" a box of bullets and 5 90% new guns made in Hanyang in the cellar, totaling 11 guns and more than 1,000 rounds of bullets.
There are more than ten pigs, cattle and sheep, and one horse.
There are several IOUs. Depending on the time, most of them were borrowed after the Japanese came.
...
Looking at the found items, account books, and IOUs, Gao Jianwu did not expect that this seemingly secluded mountain village would actually hide such a "rich man" as Zhao Facai.
This name is not for nothing!
At the current price of food, one stone costs three to four oceans. Based on this calculation, Zhao Facai's annual income is close to 2,000 oceans!
Are landlords so wealthy in this era?
Gao Jianwu was somewhat subverted.
The rewards from beating local tyrants are so huge, it's like a wave of fat.
...
In the hall of the Zhao family, Zhao Facai looked at Gao Jianwu and was trembling, and he was a little confused about Gao Jianwu's direction.
Now the whole family and servants are locked in the wing and guarded, and their lives are in their hands.
But if you want to say that he is like a bandit, he should leave now after sweeping things away, but it seems that Gao Jianwu has no intention of leaving at all.
Everything that could be found at home was piled on the table, and the bullets were distributed directly to the team members without any courtesy. Now everyone carries one on their back and holds one in their hand.
Could it be that they want to...
Suddenly Zhao Fa thought of a possibility, and a cold sweat broke out on his vest.
He has seen the world, and he has heard that the 8th Route and the traitors and the Japanese are really incompatible with each other. They kill the Japanese and the traitors all the time. Even the Japanese often post rewards for the wanted officers of the 8th Route.
"Sir, have mercy, sir, have mercy. I have no choice but to be the president of the Maintenance Association. I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han. I have to save the country through curves." Only then did Zhao Fa think of this and could no longer stand. He knelt on the ground with a plop and burst into tears. begged.
Gao Jianwu stared at Zhao Facai and pondered for a long time, and then spoke when he saw sweat dripping from Zhao Facai's forehead. "Zhao Facai, we are from the 8th Independent Regiment. According to policy, we must eradicate traitors like you who have taken refuge with the Japs and become the president of the Maintenance Association."
"However, as long as we find out that you have not done anything harmful to nature and have no murder cases on the hands of ordinary people, then there are two paths before you. One is to persist in being an enemy of the people and a traitor who is determined to be a little devil. ..”
"Two, two...Sir, I choose two, I choose two."
Only then did Zhao Fa hear a glimmer of hope. This one was about being an enemy of the people, which didn't sound like a good idea; so he couldn't help but choose the second option.
He even learned how to answer quickly, and the actor changed his face to such an extent that he almost cried when he saw it!
Gao Jianwu was almost made funny by Zhao Facai. Fortunately, he was a professional, and his face tightened.
What a talent.
It seems that Zhao Fa is not lucky enough to accumulate such a fortune. His brain is definitely enough, and he seems to have read a little bit of books. He never forgets to keep up with the times even when he is in the mountains. He can even save the country through curves. Just come.
But Gao Jianwu didn't have time to care whether he was sincere or fake.
This is a good way to understand things. At this stage, Gao Jianwu is most afraid of dealing with idiots. You have been talking about it for a long time and you still don’t know how powerful it is. In this unfamiliar place, being able to conquer a local snake can get twice the result with half the effort.
After nodding, Gao Jianwu continued: "These two are to join our anti-Japanese war team, sincerely save the country, have money and strength, and work together to drive the little devils out of our country!
Now that you have made your choice, you should know very well what to do next to atone for your sins. "
"Sir, don't worry. I understand everything. I will do whatever the commander tells me to do. I will definitely change my mind and accept my crime and serve my life well."
Only then did Zhao Fa realize that this was a critical moment to save his life. Although he knew that he would inevitably bleed a lot, saving his life was better than anything else, so he agreed without hesitation.
...
After taking over the Zhao family compound, Gao Jianwu briefly learned about the situation in the village. Although Zhao Facai had a bad reputation and was very greedy for money, he really didn't lose any lives in his hands. Maybe everyone here was considered to be rich by him. Tools.
So Gao Jianwu decided to give Zhao Facai a chance to start a new life.
Soon, Zhao Facai realized how much it cost to change his mind and start a new life.
Gao Jianwu, who was able to convince people with his force, took control of his life and made life-threatening demands one after another.
Seeing his net worth shrinking, Zhao Facai's heart began to bleed. His old face, as rich as a Sichuan Opera face, turned from red to white, and finally turned into a tragic livid color.
Guns and ammunition were directly donated to the Anti-Japanese War troops. This... was necessary. How could the landlord still hold the gun barrel? Although it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it, plus the thousands of dollars that came out inexplicably, Zhao Facai He pinched his nose and admitted.
There is excess food, so there is no problem in contributing 50 shi. This... seems to be appropriate. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. It is not like Gao Jianwu and the others can fight the Japanese just by drinking the northwest wind. Zhao Facai gritted his teeth and nodded.
The interest on rent and grain arrears is reduced to one point, and debts exceeding twice the borrowed capital are written off. This is the current policy of the base area to unite all those who can be united to fight the war. What you said makes perfect sense, but I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars. Zhao Facai was crying in his heart, but he still bit his lip and agreed.
But when it was his turn to reduce the land rent to 30%, Zhao Facai couldn't help but get up and fight. He rolled around for a while, but Gao Jianwu couldn't resist Gao Jianwu's determination to implement the policy. He lined up the box cannons on the table, and Zhao Facai's face turned blue and blue. He would change his face and finally give in.
The most critical moment came when Gao Jianwu demanded to clear out the land that the Japanese had taken advantage of after coming. Zhao Facai finally couldn't help but exploded. He said to Gao Jianwu with a knife in his heart, "Sir, you'd better kill me. If I die, it will be over!" It's all yours!
For a wealthy landlord like him who regards land as his life, land is his real lifeblood!
The ocean is gone, the bullets are gone, and the food is gone, it's all just clouds. As long as the land is there, everything will grow out of the soil soon. When the land is gone, the roots are gone!
However, Gao Jianwu cut the flesh with a fine knife and had already figured out Zhao Facai's psychology. He said lightly, "Do you know what land reform is? Do you want me to call the people of Xiaogugnao over and preside over it myself to open your eyes?"
When Zhao Fa heard this, his heart trembled and the hair on his body exploded. Only then did he think of his current situation. This man was still kneeling under someone else's gun. Why was he causing trouble?
As a studious landowner, Zhao Facai actually understood what land reform was. What was more tragic than losing part of the land was that all the land was gone!
