They arrived at the grain depot warehouse outside the commune.
Gu Yunyang then saw the scene of people crowding together.
The grain depot's warehouse was located on a small hill outside the commune, and a path led up the hill.
At this time, the road was blocked by people.
Everyone has to line up to get up.
Even with an oxcart, they couldn't move fast because people were carrying loads up the mountain.
This speed is truly touching.
Gu Yunyang asked doubtfully, "Was this how it was when we used to hand over grain?"
Gu Hanping nodded, then shook his head and said, "That's more than that. Today's amount is nothing compared to what's to come. When it's time to hand over the grain tax, the amount to be handed over will be ten times, or even dozens of times, more than today's."
You should know that our Red Flag Brigade has the least amount of farmland, so the amount of grain we have to hand over is also the least.
The other brigades had much more grain than this.
That's when it was truly a sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Although Gu Yunyang had never personally witnessed the delivery of grain to the state, he could imagine it.
The place is now packed with people.
What was the scene like when the grain was handed over to the government?
You could probably see a dense crowd of people even from the top of the mountain.
This can't go on. Everyone's here today, so there's no other way.
But this won't work the next time we hand over grain.
Gu Hanping continued, "If someone can find someone they know at the grain depot, they can cut in line. If they can't find anyone, they can only wait in line."
Clearly, the Red Flag Brigade is the one where you can't find anyone you know and have to wait in line.
Just then, Liang Wenhao spotted Gu Yunyang in the distance and waved to him.
Gu Yunyang's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Gu Hanping, "Captain, I'll go up and check the situation first."
Although cutting in line is very bad.
But Gu Yunyang still felt that wasting time here was really not a good thing.
Why not use this time to do something else instead?
The machinery upgrade at the agricultural machinery factory isn't finished yet.
The summer harvest is just around the corner.
Gu Hanping nodded: "Okay, go ahead. It would be good if you could finish early, we need to start planting corn tomorrow."
Some corn has already been planted on the mountain, but the Hongqi Brigade still has a lot of land. Starting tomorrow, they will begin planting corn.
This can be considered autumn planting.
Gu Yunyang nodded and continued on his way.
The road wasn't very wide, but it was wide enough for oxcarts to pass through. Porters carrying loads on their shoulders would take up most of the road.
Gu Yunyang decided to keep a low profile and slowly made his way upstairs.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, Liang Wenhao invited Gu Yunyang to sit down for a while.
"The people from the grain depot haven't arrived yet; we're the first ones here. You come with us. When the time comes, I'll tell the people from the grain depot to bring their grain over and hand it in with us."
The Red Star Brigade is the one Gu Hanping mentioned where you can find acquaintances.
Of course, because the Red Star Brigade was the only brigade with tractors, and they arrived the fastest.
There was a tractor right under him.
Gu Yunyang nodded, reached out and took out a few candies, giving one to Liang Wenhao and the others.
"You must be tired after all this hustle and bustle this morning. Have a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth and replenish your sugar levels."
"Oh, it's a White Rabbit candy!"
