Siheyuan, my new life

To be honest, Guo Yongping couldn't help but scoff at the transmigrators described in Tomato's novels, who could hunt dozens or even hundreds of wild boars and casually sell thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of grain on the black market.

According to relevant records, the national average yield of summer grain in 1958 was 187 jin per mu, of which the average yield of winter wheat was 193 jin per mu.

In 1956, the average annual wheat yield per mu was 52.4 kg in Henan Province, 68.3 kg in Shandong Province, and 75 kg in Heilongjiang Province, which are major grain-producing provinces in northern China.

The average yield of rice in the main grain-producing areas of the south is about 200 kilograms per mu.

Imagine how many acres of land would it take to produce a few thousand or tens of thousands of kilograms of grain with such low yields?

Another point is that at that time, there were very few motor vehicles in China. The first automobile factory in China, Changchun First Automobile Works, did not produce its first domestically made "Dongfang" brand automobile until July 13, 1956. At that time, various factories and units were still using vehicles captured from the Liberation War and the Korean War. The trucks at that time had a load capacity of only three to five tons. The "Jiefang" brand truck manufactured by Changchun First Automobile Works had a tare weight of 3.9 tons and a load capacity of only four tons.

Transporting thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of grain to the pigeon market or black market without anyone noticing is extremely difficult, whether by truck or by hand-pulled cart.

Given the situation of extensive planting and low yields at the time, in order to ensure food for the country's 600 million people, the state passed the "Resolution on Planned Procurement and Planned Supply of Grain" on October 16, 1953, and the unified purchase and distribution system was officially implemented in December of the same year.

Under the strict national policy of controlling grain purchases and supply, the little grain that could flow into the pigeon market and the black market was generally only the surplus grain that nearby farmers had left over from their regular grain quotas. They would secretly sell it in these markets to exchange for other necessities. In fact, various levels of government turned a blind eye to this behavior. Firstly, some residents living in the city did not have enough food, and they could not just watch these people starve to death. Secondly, the income that farmers earned by working in the village production brigade was very low. After working hard all year, they could not earn much money at the end of the year. In order to maintain their family's daily needs, they had no choice but to sell some grain and agricultural products such as eggs.

Therefore, departments at all levels generally do not crack down on farmers who sell a few kilograms or dozens of kilograms of grain. Under normal circumstances, once a large amount of grain appears in the pigeon market and black market, law enforcement agencies will definitely get the news in the shortest possible time and will quickly take strong action against such people.

Furthermore, the idea of ​​hunting dozens or even hundreds of wild boars and other wild animals would raise alarms for anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

It should be noted that at that time, the forests near the villages had been divided into plots and allocated to the surrounding villages, and were collective property. These villages near the mountains already had hunters who specialized in hunting. In order to prevent wild boars from coming down the mountain and damaging the crops, the rural production brigade would organize the village militia every year to go into the mountains to hunt large wild animals such as wild boars, wolves, and bears.

Although these wild beasts are mostly ferocious and large, ordinary hunters must be cautious when facing them, and often even retreat. However, no matter how powerful the beasts are, they are still just flesh and blood. When faced with the guns of the militia, most of them will die instantly. In this way, the village can reduce the chances and number of wild beasts coming down the mountain in advance, and also take the opportunity to conduct live-fire training for the militia. Most importantly, the game hunted, apart from handing over a portion to the commune, all belong to the village's collective property. Whether it is to distribute the meat to the villagers to improve their meals or to sell it to some factories to exchange for the necessary vouchers, it is a win-win-win situation.

In addition, the young people in the village would also take advantage of their free time to set traps and dig snares in the nearby mountains. Occasionally, they could catch a few pheasants, rabbits, or even a roe deer if they were lucky. These little things were still a piece of meat, and whether they were used to improve their family's life or sold to purchasing agents from factories that came to the village, they were a good source of income.

Therefore, the villages near the mountains do not allow outsiders to enter the mountains to hunt. Militiamen are stationed at the village entrances and on nearby roads. The official reason given is to respond to the call from higher authorities to prevent and combat enemy agents and strictly prohibit anyone from entering the mountains at will.

At that time, some enemy agents who had originally been lurking in the city escaped capture and hid in the deep mountains and forests. The higher authorities also required those living in villages near the mountains to be on high alert and strictly guard against them. Therefore, at that time, without a letter of introduction, it was impossible to travel far.

Let's not even talk about whether there are so many wild boars and bears in the mountains near the capital. Even if those time travelers find a chance to sneak into the mountains and hunt a lot of prey, how will they solve the transportation problem?

It's important to know that an adult wild boar weighs at least 100 to 200 pounds. Even on flat ground, it would take at least three or four people to lift such a prey, let alone in the complex terrain of the mountains.

Of course, transmigrators all have their own cheat codes, and storage space is basically standard equipment. They can easily store their prey in their storage space and take it out of the mountains.

However, no one is a fool. Occasionally, one or two small or medium-sized prey might be able to fool people, but when a dozen or more wild boars suddenly appear in the capital, anyone with a normal mind will notice something unusual.

First, how could one person transport such a large quantity of prey out of the mountains? Second, how did they manage to evade so many militiamen stationed near the mountains? Under normal circumstances, if the militiamen on guard duty discovered someone poaching, they would definitely seize the prey and the poacher and hand them over to the village for disposal.

The main reason is that it's at least tens or hundreds of miles from the mountains to the capital. Under normal circumstances, someone would see the vehicle transporting the prey over such a long distance.

Those time travelers who enter the city alone at the drop of a hat can conjure up a huge pile of prey out of thin air in any deserted place. Aren't they just playing with their lives?

It is important to know that in that era, in order to combat lurking enemy agents, almost all residents received propaganda and education. Once they discovered someone behaving abnormally, they were required to immediately report it to the nearby neighborhood committee, street office, and police station. Many lurking enemy agents were reported and caught by the law simply because they ate meat a few more times than their neighbors.
