Chapter 397: Whips are raised and horses are busy transporting grain

What is public food payment? (This is not poker, don’t act blindly!)

The document calls it "Purchase Task", which is a general term for agricultural tax collection and unified grain purchase.

It seems like one task, but it actually contains two different concepts, namely "levy" and "purchase". The former is the farmer's uncle paying agricultural taxes to the state for free on grain, and the latter is a paid grain purchase task assigned by the government.

After many processes such as threshing, separation, sun-drying, hoisting, and sifting, the best quality products were all loaded on the truck. As for the "low-quality" products, they were piled in the brigade warehouse, waiting for the delivery of public grain. Finally, the team members came back to distribute.

At this time, Liu Lei, who was bored and driving his car, was heading to the grain management station of Daguan People's Commune. Under the leadership of Captain Liu, the whole team worked together to determine how much food the team could have left and how much each family could share. Just look at today.

Every summer and autumn harvest seasons are the busiest times for the grain management office. It's pretty good here and it's not far from the commune.

For those farther away, some have to rely on boats. Just like now, from afar, you can see cement boats on the pier next to the grain management station, crowding the narrow river.

Unlike the queues of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts, there are only a few berths on the water. Unlike the big guys on the ground who line up obediently, they rely on their quick eyes and quick hands to find opportunities. As long as the oars can be rowed faster than the cattail fan, You can jump in line as a matter of course.

Inside the Grain Management Office, Liu Lei, who was standing on the carriage, was filled with people and a constant stream of people. Every time he saw such a vigorous and bustling busy scene, he was shocked every time. It is difficult for people who have not experienced it personally to understand what is going on inside. The scene is so touching.

On the surface, after meeting familiar classmates or relatives, everyone is laughing and chatting, just like comrades reunited after a long absence, holding hands, side by side, sitting in the shade, waiting, chatting about daily life, only looking at the weighing man There, there was a sense of urgency in his eyes.

"Fortunately, God is good. It seems that the payment can be completed smoothly today. Please pay attention carefully. Don't quarrel. If something happens, don't be impulsive!"

Captain Liu put the whip on his waist at this time, and followed the team members one by one to explain carefully. As for why they should be careful to prevent the team members from offending the people who collect the grain, just look at the grain tank in the distance.

Even a three-year-old child knows that the grain vat is for publicity. There are rows on it, first-class grain, second-class grain, third-class grain... Although people are equal, the grain grown is divided into grades.

Different food grades mean that the amount to be paid will change dramatically. Every brigade wants the food they hand over to be first-class food, which means that there will be a lot of food for the family members. There will be more, and everyone’s living conditions will be better.

However, the reality is.

"Level three!"

"What, what's the problem with our food? Tell me, what's the problem? Why should we rate it at Level [-]~!"

The team members who were complimentary one moment were greeted with a frightened situation the next.

They are carefully cared for and carefully selected, and they are not considered to be first-level, at least second-level, but the reality still taught the team in front a lesson.

"If you like it or not, if you don't, leave quickly and don't get in the way here!"

The attitude of the grain inspector was very arrogant at this time. Facing the farmers who rolled up their sleeves, he would not give in at all. The dryness, humidity and impurity rate were incomprehensible to these big bosses. There was still so much grain to be imported later. Ku, he won't be patient enough to explain one by one.

The farmers who have worked hard for a year really don't understand the evaluation, grade and price of public grain, but what they know is that if the grain they hand over is third-class, it means that the grain they brought on site is not enough and they need to add more. The production team's granaries will be replenished as they come.

The situation inevitably escalated from argumentative to violent. From one side's perspective, it was deliberately making things difficult. While the people around were still watching, fists were already thrown at them.

"The people of Zhaohu, let alone, are quite united!"

Captain Liu, his captain, was pinching his waist at the same time while giving his own evaluation of the previous disputes. As for provoking a fight, it was impossible to start a fight. If he and others were to be made things difficult for him later, it would be inevitable and he would have to do it this way. Once.

"Kill this thief to death. We also suffered from this thief last year~!"

Liu Qiang might have found it uncomfortable to stand there, so he climbed on top of the grain, looked inside with relish, and chatted with Captain Liu below.

As the cadres of the Zhaohu brigade entered the scene, the scene was brought under control. On one side were strong farmers, and on the other side were civil servants who sat in offices all day long. When it came to fist-fighting, it was obvious who would lose and who would win. of.

For the team members, they can suffer a loss when it comes to food grading, but the other party also has to pay something.

The chaotic scene was calmed down after the leader of the Grain Management Office also intervened to mediate. The brigade cadres put their arms around the shoulders of the leader of the Grain Management Office, and the two of them whispered, and finally the food grade three became grade two.

All this was only heard by Liu Lei. I'm afraid only the two parties know the details. After all, they both took action and both parties were angry!
As baskets of grain were put into the warehouse, the convoys from Liu Hu's side filed in. When they arrived at the scale, all the people who handed over the grain immediately went to their positions, divided into those who cared, those who packed baskets, those who weighed, and those who collected. There are various divisions of labor such as those who put on the shoulders, those who carry the baskets, etc.

A clear division of labor and tacit cooperation are indispensable.

Liu Lei is very lucky. He is a caregiver. Literally, he means to be on guard against others taking away a sack and to guard against villains.

As for Liu Qiang, he is currently communicating with Captain Liu, who is responsible for the most important things, and the newly replaced grain inspector. In addition, there are also weighing clerks and accountants who have to take care of them. What does it depend on? To produce big roosters? No, it relies on the big Qianmen brought back from the capital.

Of course, the most awesome ones are the grain inspectors. How many brigades are trying to build relationships and go through the back door. The purpose is to have their own grains rated first, so that they can pay a lot less.

But every one of the grain inspectors seems to have a sense of superiority. When faced with the olive branches offered by various teams, they do not take the initiative, refuse, or take responsibility.

He continued to smoke, so that not only were his ears filled with cigarettes, but his fingers and mouth were also filled with cigarettes. He couldn't take any time off at all. In the end, he simply threw them all into the straw hat and slapped it on his forehead without fear of getting wet with sweat.

Looking at the iron drill in the hand of the grain inspector, Liu Qiang swallowed. He couldn't help but feel nervous. Captain Liu's waist was almost bent at [-] degrees at this time. He watched the grain inspector pick up a few grains of grain and bite them in his mouth. Bite, now wishing to replace him immediately.

"Hmm~!"

The food inspector frowned at this time, and all the people who came to hand over the food in Liu household couldn't help but feel anxious. The tone of this second tone meant something was wrong.

After pouring all the remaining bits on the iron drill into the palm of his hand, the grain inspector clasped his hands together, rubbed them vigorously, then blew off the shell and floating ash, and shook his head with a serious face.

"Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffefffetc!" The iron drill was randomly inserted into and pulled out of the sacks of several cars. When they got to the back, even Captain Liu couldn't make up his mind at this time and followed him with a look of doubt. Where is this? It was a random inspection. Every bag was inspected. When did our team offend someone?
Liu Qiang also had the same idea as Captain Liu. His face had darkened at this time. The big front door he brought back from the capital was also put back in his pocket. Although he took the cigarette, it was obvious that he had not Take it seriously.

"Level [-]~!"

The food in his palm could no longer fit at this moment. After he checked it, he dropped it to the ground, which made everyone feel heartbroken when they saw it.

"No, we have enough time to dry the food. How can it be fourth grade~!"

Captain Liu looked horrified at this time. In previous years, the most he could get was third class. The Zhao Hu who had just fought was obviously not as good as his own. They were all ranked third class. Why would the new food inspector be even more ruthless than the previous one? .

"Don't worry about it. You do the inspection or I do it. I said fourth grade is considered good. According to regulations, the public food you pay is not up to standard!"

After saying that, the food inspector clapped his palms, hurriedly stayed away from everyone, and shrank behind the scale, craning his neck and looking at the group of red-faced team members, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"No, comrade, the fourth-grade grain in the big vat over there is far worse than ours. Would you like to stop taking a look?"

Liu Qiang was more tolerant after all. He had never seen any kind of employer in the capital. Seeing Captain Liu blushing, he was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he rushed to the front, pointed at the large vat that was announced, and tried to reason.

"I don't look at that, I only look at what you brought. I'm still saying that yours is unqualified. Go where it came from. Don't delay our work!"

The scale clerk and the accountant on the side looked at each other. They could tell the condition of the grain at a glance, but these people in Liu House were not related to them. The person who inspected the grain was the real owner, one of their own. , since Liu Hu is said to be unqualified, it seems that the higher-ups have some ideas.

"Don't even think about taking action. The people from the police station have just arrived. They haven't left yet. If you want to hand over, hurry up. If you don't, go back~!"

Following the words of the weighmaster, the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate. Everyone in Liuhu looked at each other with livid faces. It was not obvious that they were treating them as snails. They were so easy to handle. They were rated Level [-] in front of them and took their good food. As cheap food.

"Xiao Dai, go call Director Wang~!"

Seeing that the farmers here were staring at them eagerly and not retreating, the grain inspector looked at them fiercely, called out to the scale operator, and then hid behind him with a sneer.

"Go and notify Secretary Kuai and Accountant Yu, hurry up~!"

Looking at the policemen who were watching from a distance, Captain Liu's throat was so anxious that he could spit fire. He hurriedly greeted someone and shouted anxiously.

This side is holding back their anger, just like Zhao Hu's side, they impulsively start fighting again.

The people in the front were blocked by Liu Hu and could not pay the food. The people behind were also talking about it. There was no way. No one was as courageous as Zhao Hu at this time. There were many of them and the village was poorer than Liu Hu. As the saying goes, The poorer they become, the more tyrannical they become. When it comes to Liu Hu, they are not as humane and free as they are.

"Secretary Kuai, Fan here has ordered our food to be of fourth grade!"

After the secretary and accountant arrived, together with Captain Liu, the troika of brigade cadres were all present. Faced with such a difficult problem, Captain Liu had to report to the secretary first.

Secretary Kuai was a little out of breath at this time, and Accountant Yu was shaking his buttocks while sitting on his bicycle. After listening to Team Liu's words, his heart sank, and he saw the expectant eyes of everyone in House Liu focused on him, and the look on his face became even more intense. For severe.

"Let's go and talk to Director Fan together~!"

Just like that, the group of people walked into the office of the grain store.

"Old Kuina, what brought you here? Come on, come on, sit down~!"

Liu Lei, who was following secretly, stood on tiptoes and looked at the familiar Director Fan in the office. He was holding a cigarette leisurely and contentedly, facing his own family members, without any fuss.

"Food, it's also ordered from above...!"

"..."

"Xiao Fan from the purchasing station, I heard before that your Liuhu brigade also raised two big fat pigs?"

Listening to the two sides talking in Mandarin, Liu Lei almost fell asleep. It was not until this sentence was faintly heard from inside that Liu Lei suddenly woke up.

"The task of the purchasing station is not easy either. It is just like our food port. If we cannot complete the task, it will be difficult to explain to the superiors!"

At this time, Liu Lei's heart went cold. His feelings were focused on his own pigs. At this time, he was really angry. He held his hands tightly, trembling slightly, and his chest heaved violently. , I feel out of breath.

"They were raised for the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill, and were not planned by our brigade, Director Fan...!"

Listening to Secretary Kuai's words, Liu Lei's eyes regained a little clarity. At least, the brigade secretary still spoke for him.

"Secretary Kuai, the capital is thousands of miles away. I have become a pig. If I come here again, I will say a few words to close the door. It's not like the acquisition station doesn't give money. They are all commune units. They are in trouble. We can’t just sit idly by and ignore it!”

"Director Fan, if the pig problem is solved, will our brigade have food?"

Seeing that Secretary Kuai was silent and the team leader was restless, Accountant Yu and Director Fan looked at each other and asked with a smile in their eyes.

"Haha, it's a little early to tell what level it should be. Otherwise, let the purchasing station send people to your brigade to see the pigs first. Some farmers are not very ideologically aware. When selling pigs, don't feed them a few more kilograms. , add a few more kilograms of water, and when the matter is finalized, we will solve the problem of public rations and we will never let your team suffer!"

Playing with the cup in his hand, Director Fan laughed, stepped forward and patted Accountant Yu on the shoulder...

Secretary Kuai's face turned bitter and he looked at Captain Liu. It turned out that the root cause was Liu Dali's two big fat pigs. No wonder the carefully selected grain was not up to standard here. It was obvious that the grain station and the purchasing station Come together.
