Chapter 141 [Measuring the Land in a Big Move]
It's now October, and Mary has been pregnant for more than five months. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, she is pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus with a very large belly, and now it is very inconvenient to move, and it is only with the help of Lefu that she can complete the task of walking two kilometers.
Every day, Lefu will take a certain amount of time to spend with Maria, eat and exercise. The rest of the time Lefu would stay in his study, with a large satellite map spread on the floor, and then write and draw on it, why? That's because the reform plan that Lefu has been brewing in his heart for a long time was officially put on the bill after the autumn harvest.
In the spring of this year, after the birth of his eldest son, the crown prince of the tribe, he will announce that the ultimate reform plan of the Bison tribe will be implemented. The first step was to reform agriculture so that the tribes were responsible for all the tasks of planting the land, including leveling the land for harvesting and planting, as was the case before.
Even the seed money needs to be borne by the Bison Tribe's Ministry of Agriculture, and the ordinary people of the tribe will only help during the autumn harvest. Every year, you will get a large amount of more than 40% dividends, but next year you will not be planting these low-value corn and wheat, but you will need to plant those high-value black pearls. It was unrealistic to carry out such a large-scale work, which seriously reduced the economic strength of the entire tribe, so the fortune-like agrarian reform plan was to allocate land.
According to the price estimate of black pearl corn, the production of black pearl corn per acre of land in the future is about 50,000. That's a staggering $50,000 per acre of black pearl corn. It's all calculated according to the standard, and if you do intensive farming, the yield of black pearl corn should be $5 per acre is the most standard state.
Such a high output value is distributed to the tribal peoples, so that these ordinary tribal people can get their own share of the land. And then the lowest-quality Black Pearl No. 1 planted on their own land, when the income of everyone is not how much 60,000 dollars can be sustained now.
This is also why Lefu dared to boast to the entire tribe high-level, saying that the entire bison tribe would be freed from poverty. At the very least, the average income of ordinary people should reach the maximum standard of 70,000 US dollars, so after the Bison tribe has finished the autumn harvest, they should dig deep into the land and prepare for the next year's corn planting. But this year was different, after harvesting the corn, Lefu personally ordered all the land to be leveled.
The level varies in size from a small passage of fifty centimeters between three acres and more than thirteen acres of flat land on the side. Then there is a small passage of 50 centimeters, and all the 100,000 people in the entire corn planting base have been squared into these large and small lands. Neatly planned, the sky looks down, like chess and cards, the squares are distributed across the vast land of 100,000 acres.
Moreover, this land was not chosen at random, but a high-lying land suitable for growing corn, and the water requirements were not as excessive as that of wheat. According to the land distribution plan carried out by Lefou, the total population of the entire bison tribe does not exceed 36,000 people, excluding some lonely elderly people or orphans who have lost their parents.
On average, there should be about 4,000 families, of course, an orphan is also a family, and a lonely old man is also a family. And there are different families of different sizes, but for the sake of fairness, when distributing land, the principle of equal distribution is carried out, regardless of the size of your family? Whether your family is 100 people or the land that has been allocated to you.
A family will be allocated a planned plot of land according to the size of the family. The number of family members is related to the amount of land allocated? It is all distributed uniformly, so that the small number of family members will definitely not take advantage. However, these orphans and lonely elderly people are in the minority after all, so it is very reasonable to follow the principle of distribution of family population.
After all, the Indians were still on the fringes of tribal society, and a family would still live together, with the eldest male head there. The concept of the extended family, which controls all the power of the family and how to distribute the family's economic expenses and income, has a history of thousands of years.
Although the whole bison tribe is more Westernized, it is such a large family living together. It was unanimously approved by everyone, so there would be no uneven distribution of fights. But with more than 100 more family members, can they still live together? That's simply not possible.
Therefore, at that time, the families will be divided, and in order to ensure family harmony, it is more cost-effective to distribute the land according to the capitation. The 100,000 acres of corn cultivation land were evenly divided, and the 90-year-old and the one-year-old had their share of the land.
Of these, 50,000 acres were planned for the chief's family, which was the property that belonged to the chief's family. No one will raise any objections, and although 50% is set aside, the other 50% is divided equally among the general public. You must know that 100% of the land was originally the personal property of the chief, and now 50% of it can be divided equally among everyone, which is already very generous to the chief.
The simple Indian people know gratitude, so no one will dispute the 50% of the land set aside by the chieftain's family. So the remaining 50,000 acres were divided equally among each person, and an average of 1.5 acres per person was used to grow Black Pearl No. 1 corn.
Don't underestimate the 1.5 acres of corn plantation, it's not much, but don't forget. And the acreage of wheat! There are also some areas of miscellaneous grains and even rice cultivation. In addition to the 50% reserved for the chieftain's family, the remaining 50% is distributed, and the pastures are also distributed. The land is planted one by one, and the grazing is distributed to everyone, and the land is not small-scale.
Therefore, the wheat planting base should also be carried out according to this distribution standard, with 50% of the 100,000 acres of land left by the chief's family and 50% allocated to the common people. On average, 1.5 acres of wheat are planted per capita, and another 1.5 acres are grown with grains and vegetables. The average area allocated to each person's head planting base reached 4.5 acres of land.
The allotted land will never change, and there will be no fees for planting and harvesting on the land other than the retail fees of Walmart supermarkets. All the harvest belongs to you, who doesn't do it! Everyone has a small abacus in their hearts that crackles, knows the gains and losses, and knows who takes advantage.
After planning the land, when his eldest son is born in the spring of next year, Lefu will come up with this land plan. According to the land that has been leveled this fall, each family will be allocated a piece of land. There is a 50-centimeter corridor for cultivation operations, so that the land can be a few acres in size, and some even tens of acres in size.
