Fu Hongxing then realized that when he came here to buy grain before, those people looked at him with suspicion.
It turned out that the village chief had secretly led the entire village to plant a whole grain of rice in the valley where it was spring-like all year round.
Zhang Biao was the audacious and wealthy village chief. If Fu Hongxing hadn't saved him, Zhang Biao wouldn't have revealed this information.
However, Zhang Biao only brought Fu Hongxing with him to this valley.
The drivers in the convoy had absolutely no idea.
Even the monkeys were unaware of this, staying in the village and waiting for news from Fu Hongxing.
When Fu Hongxing actually brought the grain back, everyone in the convoy was overjoyed.
You should know that along the way, almost every villager was skin and bones.
Only when we arrived at this village did we find that the people there had relatively normal complexions.
Therefore, Fu Hongxing guessed that there should be surplus grain in the village, but the villagers were not wary of him and did not want to sell their grain to outsiders like them.
Zhang Biao leading the entire village to farm in the valley wasn't something that happened in just one or two years.
The harvested grain is stored in the granary in the valley.
Fu Hongxing went to check and found that even the old grain was stored very well.
So he went straight to the point and said he would buy the old grain as well.
This couldn't be better for Zhang Biao.
Since the planting of grain in the valley began, rice, which could only be grown once a year outside the valley, can now be grown twice a year in this valley.
After experiencing the benefits, everyone in the village actively participated, and no one thought about reporting it or anything.
After all, being hungry is worse than anything else.
Moreover, in their minds, the words of the village chief who manages the brigade are orders from above.
Moreover, this is something that will ensure these farmers have enough to eat, so it's not a bad thing.
Fortunately, their village was far enough from the county town that when they went out to buy needles and thread, they only needed to tell the village chief, and Zhang Biao would write it down in his notebook.
Then, I would find a day to go out and take the only oxcart in the village to the county town to buy things.
Over the years, things have been relatively calm.
However, some time ago, a relative came to ask to borrow grain.
The family couldn't bear to refuse, so they agreed to lend it to them.
This loan, however, caused a commotion.
Other villages and production brigades, because of the "satellite launch" and the communal dining system, are now struggling to make ends meet and can't even afford to eat.
This family lent out 200 jin of rice at once, which made people unable to resist their greed.
If someone can borrow 200 jin of rice so easily, does that mean that Xiaogang Village has a lot of grain?
The problem wasn't equitable distribution, but scarcity. After that family borrowed grain, their relative who had borrowed the grain immediately reported them.
They accused them of hoarding grain and demanded that the Revolutionary Committee thoroughly investigate that family.
Fortunately, Zhang Biao had informants in the Revolutionary Committee who, upon learning the news, came to inform him that very night.
Zhang Biao also ransacked the village overnight, looting all the grain from every household. Then he gathered all the able-bodied men in the village to transport the grain to the valley and hide it there.
When the Revolutionary Committee came to search, of course they couldn't find a single grain of rice.
Because of this, no one in Xiaogang Village was willing to lend out their grain anymore.
Not to mention strangers like Fu Hongxing who came with a convoy.
After Fu Hongxing saved him, Zhang Biao listened to his reasons for coming here and then took Fu Hongxing to the valley, which was a bold decision.
