Chapter 41: Talking to the team leader about the group and setting traps for others

"But that's not right, grandpa. How could the captain believe what you said?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.

"Add one! There are also capable people in our village. When the country was first liberated, a family in our village moved to the city. They are a bit far away from you, but according to seniority, you should call him uncle. His father and I are within the fifth degree of mourning."

"The captain had contact with him. He said his father-in-law was very capable and arranged for him to be the logistics director of a factory."

"So the captain went to find him and asked him about it before making the decision."

"So that's how it is! I was wondering! How come the whole village was mobilized just by your words?"

Li Jiayi didn't believe it either, but he thought he had the ability, so the villagers believed it with just one sentence.

It is understandable if your family members believe it, after all, they are the people closest to you. It is definitely not that easy to make others believe it.

But this way, Li Jiayi will be much more relaxed. If every household stocks up on food, there will be less trouble in the future.

We had dinner very early, finishing it before six o'clock. Because of Li Jiayi's arrival, we also fried an egg in the evening.

The reason why he ate so early was that grandma was afraid that he would be hungry.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi said something to his grandmother and ran out.

A few minutes later, Li Jiayi came to a yard and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A young woman's voice came from the yard.

"I'm looking for the captain."

The door opened quickly and a woman in her twenties opened it. Li Jiayi knew her. She was the captain's daughter-in-law.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"It's Plus One! Come in."

"Okay." Li Jia nodded and went in.

When they arrived at the yard, the captain's daughter-in-law said, "Jiayi, my father is in the house, just go in! I still have to help my mother cook."

"Okay sister-in-law, you are busy."

Li Jiayi came to the main room, where an old man in his fifties was sitting and smoking.

"Hello, uncle."

"Here comes Jiayi, come and sit down."

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Li Jia asked when he saw that he was thinking about something.

"Gayi! I was just about to look for you if you hadn't come!"

The team leader already knew that it was Li Jiayi who told Li Laogen about this collective matter.

"No, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Plus one! I heard about the collective thing, but I don't know many of the details, such as how much food to stockpile."

"Uncle, do you even need to ask? Of course the more the better! Everyone can take out all the money they have, even if they can sell it, and then convert it into money to buy food."

"Is it so serious?" The captain looked at Li Jiayi and asked.

"Uncle, I can't tell you the details, but one thing is for sure, it's much more serious than you think."

"Hiss!" The captain took a deep breath and said, "What should we do? Every household doesn't have that much money!"

Li Jiayi shrugged helplessly and said, "Then we can only take out as much as we can."

There was nothing he could do about it. There were more than a hundred households and hundreds of people in the village, and they needed a lot of food.

"Uncle, don't we still have cows and donkeys? We can sell them and exchange them for food!"

In fact, there are not only cows and donkeys, but many people in the village also raise pigs and sheep. If they were all sold, the food they bought would be enough to last for two or three years.

The captain quickly shook his head and said, "That won't do. If we sell the cows and donkeys, how will we farm?"

"Uh!" Well, this is indeed a problem. You know, in rural areas, whether it is a cow or a donkey, they are all heavy laborers!

There is a saying often used in later generations that even the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to rest like this, and this was what was being referred to.

"Uncle, there is something I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

"When the village became a collective, all the cattle, donkeys, sheep and other animals had to be registered."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the captain frowned and asked, "What's the point of registering this?"

"All of them will be taken into the collective. That is to say, from now on, whether it is pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, or geese, no one can buy or sell them privately."

"Is there anything else you can say?"

"Yes, although you said in the meeting that each family will have their own birthdays in the future, these still need to be registered. If there is one less pig, it will be very troublesome."

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the captain could no longer sit still and paced around the room anxiously.

"Jiayi, please talk to uncle, what should I do?"

The captain thought that Li Jiayi should know a lot of things that he didn't know, because he was the one who brought it up in the first place.

It was even said that the person he was looking for didn't know as much as Li Jiayi.

Because that person only told him that there was indeed such a thing as becoming a collective, but did not ask him to stockpile food.

The captain was right. Li Jiayi really knew more than that person.

But it’s not because Li Jiayi has more power than that person, but because he came from the future.

"Uncle, all I can tell you is to stock up on food, stock up on food, stock up on food."

"Uh!" The captain was speechless. This was not what he wanted! He wanted a solution.

"Uncle, there is one more thing."

"what's up?"

"That's what you said at the meeting, that each family should have their own way. That's simply not possible. We still have to eat from the same pot."

"Why? Can't you just pretend to do it during the inspection?"

Li Jiayi didn’t know what to say, if only it were that simple.

"Uncle, the county or the commune will send a team to the village, and those people will live in the village."

"What the hell, there is a village team?"

"Yes."

"What should I do?"

"Uncle, this is very simple. Calculate the number of people, and then each family should pay food according to the number of people. But don't pay too much. Just enough to last until April or May next year."

Of course, this refers to April and May of the lunar calendar. People in rural areas don’t follow the Gregorian calendar!
It is the summer harvest time in May of the lunar calendar. Although next year’s summer harvest will not be very good, isn’t this the effect we want?

Let the people in the village team see how hard everyone’s lives are, and maybe they can even get some relief food.

"Add one! If we ask everyone to hand in their pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., would everyone be unwilling?"

"Uncle, that's for sure, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is the policy. Just sell it as I say. Anyway, there's a village team. Let them figure out a solution when the time comes."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the captain's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and said, "You are too bad, you are targeting the village team."

The village team also has a mission! If the village cannot complete planting and harvesting on time, they are also responsible.

"Oh, uncle, don't sell the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. They can increase the income of the village. When the time comes, you can sell them to the purchasing station of the commune or to the buyers of various factories."
