Xu Ping secretly felt funny in his heart, in terms of money, the common people have been cheated by the government for many years, so that when they mention it now, their first reaction is to pit themselves. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Imperial Grain and National Tax, the rules for many years, the greatest kindness of the government is nothing more than free food and free tax, when is it really good for the common people?

Li Shen's face remained unchanged, and he said to the five people: "Are any of you literate and hyphenated?" ”

A middle-aged man standing on the side said: "The little one also studied for a few years when he was young, and he was ready to take the exam, but then his family was down, so he had to live here as a potter." I wonder what the officials commanded? ”

Li Shen motioned to the accompanying official to take a list and hand it to the middle-aged man: "These are the rules and regulations of this kiln drawn up by the government, you read it out to everyone and tell me what you think." ”

The middle-aged man confessed, took the list and came over, and read it out one by one.

This article was discussed by Xu Ping and Li Shen, basically in accordance with the principle of cooperatives, the government as the owner of the kiln, Li Shen repeatedly insisted that fifty percent of the profits should be taken, and the rest would be distributed to the households who joined the cooperative.

However, according to Xu Ping's estimate, there will not be many people joining the company at the beginning, and most people will still choose to wait and see before there is no clear interest. This is actually inconsistent with the principle of cooperatives, which cannot be brought together when there are benefits, and hide far away when there are no benefits, losing the meaning of cooperation and mutual assistance.

The emergence of new things always requires some compromises, or forcing these people to the point that they can't survive, and only when this path is easy to follow, they will naturally participate. Xu Ping has no choice but to let people with small calculations in their hearts make a little cheap, otherwise, they will go on another road.

The middle-aged man finished reading the list text, and the five people were dumbfounded, and after a long while, the old man in the middle said: "What does the list mean?" The officials want us to take care of the kiln by ourselves? So what kind of porcelain is to be burned, where to sell, who knows? How can this be managed? Official, it's only right to send a supervisor! ”

Xu Ping interjected: "You have to understand one thing, someone is in charge, you just work here and get paid every month." And if you follow the rules on the list, in addition to taxes, you will share the profits with the government and get some extra money. Everyone is a family person, and this account should be clear. ”

The old man shook his head again and again: "If you have money, you can naturally share it, so if you lose money, officials, what should you say?" We have only one strength, and we have no money, but we have no money to pay to the government. ”

"If you lose money, you will naturally not be divided, and it is clear in the list that the government does not want you to find money. Got it? ”

"Although Xiao Lao'er is old and not yet deaf and blind, I can understand just now that if the kiln asks for money to open the kiln, the people who join the society have to exchange money to enter, is this not to pay money to the government? Official, don't you say? ”

Xu Ping said lightly: "That's when there is no money and the kiln can't be opened, the people who join the company have to invest money in the kiln, and when the kiln sells porcelain and has money, the money will be returned first." If the kiln can't be opened, no matter what your identity is, why do you rely on the kiln to eat? The kiln makes money, and the people who join the society want to share the money, how can they not take out a cent when they invest money, where is this kind of good thing in the world? ”

The old man shook his head again and again: "That is the case, at that time, I am afraid that only everyone will take money from the kiln, but not from their own family." Xiao Lao'er has lived for so many years, and these joints are understood. ”

Xu Ping looked at Li Shen and said to him: "This cooperative was originally voluntary to join the cooperative, free to withdraw from the cooperative, and the government supervises and runs the private office. There are only five of you, so what's the use of talking about it? Li Tongju, you send someone to post the list to the kiln, and if anyone is willing to come in, just come here and ask us. Three days, outdated, no waiting, if you want to add it again, you can only wait for half a year. ”

Li Shen responded to the promise, and sent the accompanying officials to take the list and go to the kiln on the other side of the ditch to post it, and read it to all the people.

The five people standing there saw this momentum, and they were at a loss for a while, and after a while, they saw several officials going out with the list papers, and the old man in the middle said hurriedly: "Official, this has not been said properly, why did you send someone to force it?" ”

Xu Ping said: "I have made it clear just now, joining the club is voluntary, leaving the club is free, and the five of you are not willing to participate, so why waste your saliva here!" If there are people who are willing to participate, they will come and say that if no one participates, the kiln here will be abolished, and the Sansi and the Mengzhou government will not send people here! ”

This small county of Heyin is far away from the emperor Tiangao, and the kiln is located in Guangwu Mountain, Xu Ping can also see clearly, sending one or two people over is useless, it is basically foreseeable that it is a money-losing goods. And there are more people who are sent, and the money earned by this small industry is not enough to send people's wages, and it also provokes resentment to the government. There is really no way, he would rather arrange the potters here to find a way to go to the kiln in Gongxian County in the south than carry such a burden.

Either it will become a cooperative testing ground for small producers such as potters, or it will be abolished, and Xu Ping does not want to spend too much energy here. The real future of the cooperative lies in agriculture, and it depends on the outcome of Li's participation in the negotiations with the Jiang family, whether the family will keep the land and find a way to prevent the government from interfering, or sell the land for cash, or hand it over to the government to take care of it for them. The key here is still the sister-in-law of the Jiang family, if she clearly says that she wants to remarry, the Jiang family's fields will either be sold or managed by the government, and then the cooperative will come in handy.

The five people who came had never encountered such a thing, so they had to watch the official go out.

According to the past practice, shouldn't the candidates pushed out by the potters be roughly negotiated properly, and the government will actually act? Why didn't you follow the routine this time and go straight past them?

At the foot of the hill on the opposite side of the chasm, several strong men were lying on the grass basking in the sun, and one said to the people around him: "Second Uncle Li, I don't know how Uncle Tan and the others went to talk to the people in the government, do you think this kiln will be closed?" ”

Second Uncle Li said angrily: "If it's closed, it's closed, with our strength, where will we have no food to eat?" ”

"But it's quite reluctant to live here for a few years and run around."

A man next to him who was lying on his side and drying his ass said: "What's so good about this ghost place, what do you want, there's no place to buy it if you want to eat good!" If you want me to say, if the kiln is closed, we will go to the capital together, where millions of people live, and we will not go hungry if we do anything! ”

The young man who asked at the beginning laughed "poof": "Brother Lan naturally said this, when you get to the capital, you are no longer afraid that no one will gamble with you." Anyway, you were arrested two days ago, did it hurt to hit the board? ”

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all! When I get better, how many feet long will you give it a try? ”

"Who's to blame? When you went, Second Uncle Li and I repeatedly advised you not to throw money in that kind of place, but you just couldn't listen to good words. Well, now that the big board hits you, you have time to rest! ”

The man surnamed Lan snorted, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the young man. He was one of the gamblers who was caught in the gambling stall that night, and because the gambling money was not much, and the nature was not bad, he was released after a beating. Until now, the buttocks are still hot, and it's better not to move, but when it touches the wound, it hurts heartbreakingly.

The young man couldn't help but laugh when he saw the appearance of the surname Lan.

After being silent for a while, the young man finally couldn't hold back his mouth, looked at the blue sky and said: "Speaking of which, the children are not borrowed, and they have never shortened our wages, nor have they called us to death." If this kiln is sold, I don't know what kind of temperament the newcomer is, so don't be too mean. ”

Second Uncle Li pillowed his hands, squinted at the sky and said, "Amu, don't think about that. We work hard to get money, no matter who comes, it's the same, it's not what we want, and we leave the fuck. The world is big, and everywhere is a place to raise people. We are poor, we have no land, no house, all we want is to be happy, is it possible that there is glory and wealth for you to count on? You are still young, learn some crafts, save some money to marry a little lady, and that is your life. ”

After listening to Second Uncle Li's words, the young man looked at the sky, his expression full of yearning for life. His future is still blank, and he can let his imagination run wild. Save money for a few years, have two thatched huts of your own, and marry someone who knows cold and hot to live with you, maybe this is life.

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering gong sound, followed by a loud voice that shook the world and shouted: "The potters who work here have listened, Mengzhou Bangwen, come and listen!" ”

Second Uncle Li pricked up his ears and was stunned for a moment, jumped up from the ground suddenly, and said: "It's strange, Uncle Tan and a few of them didn't come back, who came to unveil the list?" Amu, follow me to see! Lan Liu, go back to our quarters, collect some sticks, and prepare them there! ”

Lan Er was startled, got up from the ground, pulled the wound on his buttocks, and grinned: "Second Brother Li, could it be that someone is causing trouble and wants us to fight?" ”

"Which knows? In short, Uncle Tan and a few of them didn't come back, and the people from the government came over to unveil the list, which is not a good thing! The so-called preparedness, we people only have one rotten life except for a handful of strength, and if someone pushes us into a hurry, then there is only -"

Amu got up from the ground, and after listening to Second Uncle Li's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, hugged his shoulders and said, "Second Uncle, can the government still let us live?" We're just working here to burn the kiln, and we haven't done anything illegal! Something happened to Tong Qilang, how could it affect us? ”

Speaking of this, Amu's voice was already a little trembling. (To be continued.) )
