The income of the peasants has always been low, and it has been like this since ancient times.

All dynasties were based on agriculture, and then emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and devalued the status of merchants very low.

The reason why we do this is because if you do business, money comes too quickly, and when businessmen have money, they will seek a higher status, so that money will flow into the power system, which will corrode the bureaucracy, which will cause the corruption of the country, and the importance of agriculture and suppression of business, and the debasement of the status of businessmen, is to make the public establish a culture of looking down on businessmen, and then inhibit everyone from doing business.

Although there is no way to completely solve this problem, it can slow down the process, and the fundamental causes of the collapse of the country in all dynasties are caused by the intensification of social contradictions, and the general reasons for this are land annexation, class solidification, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the collapse of the bureaucratic system.

However, after the reform and opening up, the current dynasty did not have sufficient start-up capital, and its own domestic agricultural population was as much as eight or nine billion, so many agricultural populations have become the starting capital of the country's industrialization!

The history of the developed countries in the West is actually the history of plundering foreign wealth, they have accumulated the first pot of gold by plundering the wealth of other countries, so as to complete the early capital accumulation, and then to establish their own industrial system, any poor country, in the absence of capital, it is impossible to establish an industrial system, people say that India catches up with China, the question is whether India has start-up capital?

Well, it seems that there is, so that hundreds of millions of people in the country starvation, and then become the world's largest grain exporter, with grain for money, good strategy, good strategy, anyway, they do not use chemical fertilizers, nor pesticides, pure natural harvest, is a waste of some two-legged sheep time and life, there is no other cost at all, Indian Brahmin said: We can do this kind of business for 10,000 years!

There was no landlord class in this dynasty, and after the land reform, they were all fought by the landlords, and after the land contract system, the land was again distributed to each peasant household according to the population!

When Lin Quan was a child, there were four people in his family, according to the distribution, each person had 1.8 acres of land, and their family had 7.2 acres of land.

When the time comes, if one person can't get an acre of land, won't he starve to death?

As a result, now the fields in the countryside are deserted, and there is no one to farm......

The fundamental reason why it is abandoned is because there is no income from farming, wasting time and physical strength, and putting money into it!

In the 80s, China was the world's main oil exporter, and from 1977 to 1985, oil export revenues accounted for more than 30% of China's export revenues, and until 1993, China was still a net exporter of oil!

However, the production of our country's oil fields is not high, the production cost is relatively high, compared with the Gulf countries are not competitive, the reason why we can export oil on a large scale to make money, mainly because we have nothing to export, before the industrial system is not perfect, even low-end imitations, toys and various light industrial products can not be exported (after the reform and opening up, foreign-funded enterprises with Hong Kong capital as the main capital have established a large number of textile processing plants on the southeast coast, these are semi-finished product processing, at the beginning there was no way to produce all the production, and then after the technology and industry were perfected, this finally became a pillar industry of China's exports, to 1991The export of textiles and other industrial products accounts for 3/4 of China's exports), and the start-up capital needed for industrialization needs to be accumulated little by little with the help of foreign capital on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is necessary to find some potential from itself.

As a result, nearly 900 million peasants have become pick-up heroes, many people may not have heard of the dual-track price system, this thing is actually a scissors, to shear sheep, the operator is the state, the object is all the people in the country, among which the peasants are very injured, the state in order to accumulate capital for industrialization, has taken a lot of methods.

At the time when the agricultural tax was not abolished, the peasants had to pay a lot of tax items, and the burden was not clear, and considering the time, manpower, fertilizer, pesticide, seeds, and other costs required for farming, if it was calculated, unless it was a large-scale planting, the peasants would have to pay for farming, so when the factories in the south rose up, the rural areas everywhere quickly emptied!

A large number of rural laborers have moved to the cities!

There is a fundamental reason for the flow of population, and the reason why farmers everywhere have to go south to work is because compared with their hard work in farming, the income obtained by working in the south is obviously much higher than that of farming at home!

And the Chinese's yearning for a better life is comparable to few nations in the world, so one person took the lead in the whole village to go out, the men went out to work, the main force of agriculture changed from young adults to women and the elderly, and later, women found themselves nested in the countryside is not cost-effective, and when their children go to school or grow up, they also begin to try to get out of the countryside.

So the decay of the countryside is inevitable!

There are two time nodes in this, one is around 1995, this time point is the beginning of the large-scale migration of young and middle-aged rural labor force to the south, although before this, many people also went south to work, but that kind of boom is obviously not as big as this time, and the large-scale departure of women from the countryside is much later, about 2006.

The agricultural tax was canceled from 2004 to 2006, because it is difficult to collect taxes, the trend of land abandonment has emerged, and the proportion of agricultural tax in fiscal revenue has dropped to a negligible level, and the state has finally abolished the agricultural tax.

Because of the serious loss of rural population and the acceleration of urbanization, China has ushered in a large wave of demographic dividend period, during which China's economic development is very rapid, but the loss of rural population has also brought a problem, that is, food security is difficult to guarantee!

Except for some plains in the north that are suitable for large-scale mechanical operations, the terraced fields and hilly areas in the south are not suitable for large-scale mechanical operations, where the cost of agriculture is high and the returns are very low, so the degree of land desertion is very serious!

For this reason, the country put forward the construction of a new countryside, this construction is essentially right, but it came too late (the country has no money earlier), the construction of the new countryside has helped some rural areas to build new infrastructure, improve roads, level the fields, and reorganize some uneven terraced fields into large flat land, which is convenient for mechanized operations, but this effect is actually not good, there are not many fields suitable for rectification, the actual effect is limited, Lin Quan's side is basically a face project, and the countryside on both sides of the provincial highway has been sorted out, but if you go inside, there will be no more。
