Chapter 16: The Division of Work

With the relief food allocated above, their side finally passed the 60 years smoothly and officially entered the 61 years.

At this time, the above finally learned the experience and lessons of the past few years and began to make policy adjustments.

Everything is gradually turning for the better.

Of course, this doesn't mean the end.

61 is still a very difficult year, and many people are still starving to death one after another, but on the whole, the overall state is better than last year.

Of course, this is talking about Wang Xin's side, and the situation in some places is still quite grim, and it may even be worse than last year.

However, those are too far away from Wang Xin and them, how can they be in the mood to care about a place thousands of miles away from their home when they are hungry and full.

In June, especially in early March, when the "Sixty Articles of the Commune" began to be popularized and implemented on their side, everyone's faces finally became more happy.

Not everyone is happy, but apparently most are happy about the policy change.

In particular, the remarks in the policy about more work and more pay, less work and less pay, pay according to work, and calculate the work share have even more in their hearts.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been cultivated to be diligent and rich, and the more they work, the more they can harvest.

But in the past, no matter how much they worked, everyone finally got the same policy, which obviously hit many hardworking people very hard.

Now that it has changed back again, those hard-working people are naturally happy, and the unhappy ones are only those who have always been lazy.

The motivation of the whole village, and indeed the whole town, is very different.

The town, which had been lifeless, seemed to be alive again.

This also fully proves that it is impossible for the whole people to enter a socialist society in an all-round way when they do not have sufficient moral cultivation.

Although it can only be regarded as a big step in policy, the consequences of this policy mistake are terrifying.

……

After Wang Hongjun, the captain of the village brigade, went to the town people's commune for a meeting, he prepared to hold a villagers' meeting with a smile on his face.

With the sound of several crisp and deafening gongs, the villagers of Wangjia Village, regardless of men, women and children, all rushed to the open space in the center of the village with some curiosity.

As for why not go to the ancestral hall.

First, this is not a clan assembly, it is a pure villager assembly, and there is no need to keep it secret, and it is more important to convey the information.

Second, don't say that the ancestral hall has been demolished due to famine, even if it hasn't been demolished, there is not enough for more than 800 people to stand in such a large place.

Therefore, this villager meeting can only be held in the largest open space in the whole village, in the center of the village.

Everyone walked all the way, and they were still discussing what they were doing this time?

After all, the last time a villagers' meeting was held was when the people's communes were established, and the last time was when the land was nationalized.

Count it up again, and it will be time to divide the land and fight the landlord.

Therefore, everyone knows that every time a villager meeting is held, there must be some major policy change, otherwise there is no need to hold this meeting.

As people came one after another, when they were about to come, Wang Hongjun also walked out of his house, still holding a big horn made of cardboard in his hand.

After two or three steps, he walked to the center of the village, moved a few bricks and put them on them, made himself look taller, and then coughed twice and cleared his throat.

He put the cardboard horn to his mouth and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

The above policy has changed again.

There are three changes, everyone listen carefully, don't miss it.

First, the canteens were disbanded and surplus food was distributed equally.

It doesn't matter about this, our village canteen hasn't been open for a long time, and we don't have anything to take out and distribute to you, so that's it.

Second, the grain tax will be halved this year.

Although it has been halved, everyone must not take it lightly, the weather is still not very good this year, so I must do the work carefully in the field.

Third, the original policy of working in a unified manner, eating in a unified manner, and equalizing all meals was completely abolished and replaced with a system of collective work and distribution of grain according to work.

The president said a lot, and I didn't hear it very clearly.

But probably if you do more, you will get more grain at the end of the year, and if you don't do anything, it will be useless.

Do you understand?"

The villagers below didn't care about whether they understood it or not, they had already had a heated argument when Wang Hongjun said the second article.

By the time he said the third, the voices below were louder than he was talking!

"Distribution according to work?

Could it be that in the future, if I plant more than a dozen acres of land by myself, the grain of the ten acres of land will belong to me after paying taxes?"

An eldest lady said excitedly.

"Unlikely, what is the difference between that and the previous division of the field!"

"It can't get any worse than it is!

However, if it is really distributed according to work, Wang Laizi's family will not be miserable, I have not seen him go down to the ground a few times, he can't move, and he doesn't listen to scolding. ”

"Shut up for me, listen to me, and ask me any questions alone!

The so-called distribution according to work means that the more you do, the more grain you will distribute, but it does not mean that all the grain left after paying taxes will be distributed.

As mentioned above, after paying the tax, we must also sell some grain to the Food Bureau.

When the time comes, the remaining grain will be divided according to the specific work recorded, and the money obtained from the sale of the grain to the Food Bureau!

It's good to save everyone from carrying dozens or hundreds of catties of grain to the Food Bureau to sell!

If you have money, you can go to the town to buy something, save for a few more years, build a house, marry a daughter-in-law or something, don't you have to ask for money?

Okay, who else has a problem, raise your hand if you have a problem, don't argue down there!"

Wang Hongjun really shouted at the top of his voice, and even forced him to cover up the noise below, I have to say, it's a pity not to sing tenor in this voice.

Soon, there were people who raised their hands to ask questions.

It's the kind of hand that jumps and raises its hands high.

"Wang Jianguo, you ask!"

"Captain, I just want to ask what that work is and how it is calculated!"

Obviously, Wang Jianguo's question was asked to everyone's hearts, and this is the first thing most people want to ask.

So, there was a sudden silence below, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

"This ......"

Wang Hongjun hesitated slightly.

"I don't know this very well, it's just like that, and I'll have to go to the commune to discuss it in detail in two days.

However, it should be similar to the working day, that is, the points of doing a day of work are counted as a day's points, and the men's points are a little more than the women's points, and the women's points are a little more than the children's points.

That's probably what it looks like, and the details will have to be decided after two days of discussion. ”
