Chapter 723: Peasant Choice in the Great Era (2)

Over the years, Qi Zheng has also been in contact with many representatives of ministries and commissions who have gone to the local area for inspection.

In general, these representatives have two mindsets.

Either it has the attitude of a good old man, you should see, you should listen, hello, I am hello, everyone, or it is a fault-finding attitude, with a critical attitude towards everything in the place, doubting everything that has been arranged.

He Mingzhe in front of him is obviously the latter.

He stared at Qi Zheng, who was not much older than himself, and while waiting for Qi Zheng's answer, he even had a rebuttal in his mind.

He is not ignorant of rural, at least one thing is certain: it is very difficult to organize the peasants effectively.

Take the scale of agriculture as an example, the scale must first transfer land. However, in the rural areas, a considerable number of peasants are reluctant to transfer their land. Among the peasants who went out to work or do business, some were reluctant to give up their land even if they had taken root in the cities, and even preferred the land to be barren rather than circulated.

This is due to the fact that the transfer of rural labor force to employment is still in an unstable state, and some peasants regard land as their lifeblood or their last guarantee. In particular, farmers who go out to work unconditionally or have no other source of income, as well as the elderly over 60 years old, are even more reluctant to transfer land.

So the question is, behind the blossoming of Jiagu cooperatives, how many farmers have been wronged and unable to speak out?

He knows that the circulation of land is regarded by many county and township governments at all levels as a visible achievement, and in the process of promoting it, governments at all levels have to a certain extent brought invisible political pressure to peasant households who are unwilling to transfer land, and in particular, for peasant households who are unwilling to transfer land, local cadres have generally adopted the method of "doing work" to make them "agree" to the flow of land under coercion and inducement.

In addition, since many rural households are willing to leave their land, it is easy to create "group pressure" on those who do not want to leave their land, because any piece of land in the countryside is divided equally among each rural household according to the population, and the consent of all the rural households involved must be obtained if they want to flow into the contiguous land. If the majority of farmers agree to the transfer, even if someone is unwilling to transfer, his land is stuck in the middle, and the people around him are willing to transfer, so they are embarrassed to insist. Because people always like to be in line with the public, and they don't want to be seen as "different".

The peasants of the Jiagu cooperative are all so obedient? He Mingzhe did not believe it at all.

This is not the first time that Qi Zheng has encountered such a problem.

Director Zhang looked at it with a smile on the side, and Qi Zheng also showed a faint smile: "How to win the trust of the farmers? Seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural materials are sold to farmers without any indiscriminate to reduce the cost of agricultural materials...... For a company like ours that can make profits for them and value credibility, if farmers don't listen to us, who will listen?"

"It's that simple?" He Mingzhe roared angrily in his heart: If it's all so simple, who can't do it! Why are you Jiagu unique? Who are you perfunctory?

He felt that Qi Zheng's "soft" answer had lowered his expectations for rebuttal a lot.

But Qi Zheng didn't have the slightest intention to argue with him: "It sounds simple, but it's better to see than to hear, why don't you observe it yourself?"

Looking at Qi Zheng with a calm face, He Mingzhe "hummed" in his heart.

He felt like he had found the truth—Kaya must have arranged everything ahead.

Although their expedition was not announced in advance, the ministry sometimes leaked like a sieve, and he had no doubt that Jiagu would receive the news in advance.

Who doesn't have some connections?

He Mingzhe wanted to say something, but Director Zhang waved his hand and took the lead in moving forward.

He Mingzhe embellished Director Zhang and Qi Zheng, and looked at Qi Zheng's lazy back, and said silently in his heart: I will definitely find a flaw.

In the Central Plains in winter, the wheat fields are becoming greener. In the wheat field of a cooperative in the Jiagu department, several members of the cooperative were seen from a distance to inspect the growth of wheat.

This is normal, and what is not normal is that these members are all very young - they look at least fifty or sixty years old.

Including Director Zhang, he was both surprised and not so surprised.

It is not surprising that farmers in their fifties and sixties are still plowing the land, which is common in the countryside.

Although since 2009, when the "New Rural Pension Insurance System" was implemented in rural areas, farmers who have reached the age of 60 have begun to receive monthly pensions, in theory, this marks that farmers will withdraw from the rural labor force when they reach the age of 60.

However, the reality is that the monthly pension received by the elderly in rural areas, even in the state of low rural consumption, is not enough to achieve effective old-age care, and can only be used as a useful supplement to old-age life, and it is simply impossible to realize the old-age pension like urban workers. As long as they still have a certain ability to work, they will grit their teeth and insist that they can earn a little bit of it.

What is surprising is that agricultural companies generally pursue a "labor-saving" mode of production, and agricultural workers are mainly auxiliary labor, mainly engaged in operations that cannot be completed by large machinery or that cannot be completely overcome by modern agricultural technology. Not to mention the elderly, even if they are in the prime of life, they may also be rejected because their quality cannot meet their needs.

What kind of operation is this of the Jiagu cooperative? Is it a show? Or is it a show?

At this moment, even Director Zhang felt that Jiagu had made preparations in advance.

Qi Zheng is still calm.

He Mingzhe's eyes rolled, and he pulled an old member named Zhao Laohan: "Uncle, how old are you this year?"

Zhao Laohan looked at He Mingzhe and Director Zhang and the others suspiciously, and said, "58." ”

"Are you an employee of the cooperative?"

"Hmm. ”

"With your old experience, whose land is better planted and more productive, is it the farmer himself or the cooperative?"

He Mingzhe is already convinced that Jiagu has arranged a routine, but who wouldn't talk about it?

He had already thought that first of all, he had to lower the vigilance of the peasants in order to induce the truth.

If Qi Zheng doesn't stop it, he has the confidence to uncover the "truth"; if Qi Zheng speaks out to stop it, hehe, it will be even more interesting, what do you stop if you don't have a heart?

If you want to lower your guard, let's start with simple questions.

He Mingzhe could already think of the old farmer's answer, which was nothing more than bragging about the cooperative's various benefits.

What is the material......

Zhao Laohan's eyes widened, and he said with full anger: "Of course, we grow our own crops to grow better!"

"We planted our own land, and we used a hoe to level the land that was not leveled, and before the seeds were sown, we replanted them again. After the herbicide was finished, some weeds were not removed, and all of them were pulled out by hand......

"Last year, a few owners of the agricultural materials business also set up a cooperative, so what is the point of doing it? Using a large tractor to prepare the land and sow seeds, the land is not peaceful, the seeds are not evenly sown, and many kinds of seeds are still exposed in the soil, but they have not remedied. After the seedlings emerge, some places are too dense, and some places are too sparse or even vacant. I didn't see them watering once during the whole seedling period, but fortunately it rained later, otherwise many of the seedlings would have dried up. ”

"Don't you know, collective farming is easy to be rough, many links are not in place, and some of them delay farming. In spring and summer, the same variety, two days late sowing will delay maturity for more than three days, and the later the sowing, the lower the yield. Harvesting is the same, harvesting with large machinery, and no one picks up the corn cob if it falls in the ground, unlike our farmers who have to return the grains to the warehouse......"

He Mingzhe was stunned.

Director Zhang was also stunned.

The rest of the delegation was stunned.

Looking at this old farmer who complained endlessly, and then looked at Qi Zheng, whose face did not change, many people were convinced: The big guy is the big guy, and he can really calm down.

He Mingzhe was even more worried about Zhao Laohan, old man, do you know whose rice bowl you are carrying?
