Chapter 954: A Changearound
Have you ever thought about it?
Of course, I thought that everyone present had something to do with the land here. Like Gu Sizhi and Wang Rui, they are landlords, and most of the land in Cheng County is theirs. Others, mostly tenants, cultivated land that did not belong to them and barely survived. There are very few peasants who actually own their own land. Most of them are concentrated in small plots of land that the landlords look down on, and they have cultivated a few acres of land by themselves, which cannot be shaped into scale and climate at all, and belong to those who are negligible.
In the past, there was no Mingzhou Port, and the land here was cultivated by tenants. Gu Sizhi's statistics also show that if there were no ports to dilute labor, the population of Zhen County would actually be just enough to cultivate the land. Although there is a possibility that some farmland cannot be intensively cultivated, it is not harmful. Most of the landlords counted the production of good land as their own, and left the production of inferior land to the tenants for rations.
Tenants, 'two-legged horses', as long as they don't starve to death, they can continue to work, what difference does it make if they are full and not full?
Everyone cares about the land, but this was before the establishment of the port of Minnesotsu. Now the construction of Mingzhou Port is in full swing, and fools know that the wharf is more profitable than farming. Ordinary people can't think about the height of Gu Sizhi and others, but they understand that if they work at the dock for a day, the whole family can eat enough for two days. This is like heaven compared to the days of hunger and hunger in the past.
If you become a sailor, it will be even more amazing. The salary of a sailor is extremely high, and one trip to the sea will cover the income of the last two years of farming. If it's a big ship, such as Chang'an, and a lot of fishing, life is not too beautiful.
In such a situation, whether it is the gentry or the common people, the center of gravity must be tilted towards the port. It is inevitable that many people will give up their land, and when the land is barren and food production plummets, there will still be problems.
It's very easy to understand, no matter how much money you make, don't you still have to eat?
When there is less food, no matter how much money you make, you have to use it to buy food. At that time, what is the point of making more money?
So, in any case, we have to ensure the production of grain.
Before Li Mu announced the reform, Gu Sizhi and others, as landlords, were the most anxious in the face of the imminent desertion of the land.
But with their wisdom, they really can't think of a solution to the problem. Because they could not give up the interests of the port, they would not prevent the people from working in the port. Although the interests of the land side are also important, they must choose the port when they need to make a choice.
For them, it's an unsolvable problem. They had no choice, and when Li Mu asked, of course they couldn't give any answer.
Li Mu took everyone's eyes in his eyes and continued: "Since everyone has no solution to the problem, then Ben Hou will give everyone a solution-"
"Workers' farms."
Li Mu wrote these words, and everyone's eyes converged, even Li Shimin didn't blink. After writing these words, Li Mu added a few words at the end: "The land is collectively owned." ”
"Dare to ask Lord Hou, didn't the new deal distribute land to the people? How did it become collectively owned again? ”
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to my explanation." Li Mu took a bamboo from nowhere, pointed to the words collectively owned by the land, and explained: "The new policy still needs to be implemented, but it is not inflexible. This collective ownership is a kind of flexibility. ”
"First of all, according to the new policy, the land will be distributed to everyone, and it will be clear who has how much land and where. Black and white, preserved. One copy in the hands of the people, one copy in the village, and one copy in the state and county, no matter which one is lost, it will be made up immediately if it is found to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”
"Subsequently, the land will be taken over to the collective." Li Mu wrote down the word collective and said, "For example, the resettlement village where we are now. Li Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to all the people, and said, "You have all been allocated their respective lands, but you want to go to the dock to work, and you don't want to farm." It doesn't matter, you take your land into the collective land, and then the collective leases the land to the farm for cultivation, and after the farm is harvested, it will pay taxes for you according to the amount of land you have shared, and the surplus in addition to the taxes will be paid to you in proportion to the contract you signed. Rent can be calculated as money or as crops, depending on the individual's choice. ”
This is a good way to save the land from being barren. It is no wonder that when the resettlement village was set up before, the land was divided according to about 3,000 mu, which was originally taken into account.
"But......" Wang Rui hesitated and didn't know whether to open his mouth, Li Mu saw his appearance and said, "If you have something to say, say it." ”
"Eh," Wang Rui responded, plucking up his courage and said, "Master Hou, I don't know something." According to Hou Ye's meaning, does everyone have to put the land into the collective land? If someone doesn't want to, what then? ”
Li Mu thought of this early and also came up with a solution, saying: "First of all, it must be clear that the main body of the new deal is greater than the branches. In other words, the policy of distributing land to each person must be implemented. And these contingencies are just expedient measures, and this is one. ”
"Second, since Cheng County is special, the land collection of collective shares must also be implemented. But underneath the workarounds, there are also workarounds. For example, Zhang San likes to farm and doesn't want to go to the dock. So easy, his land is taken over to the collective, and he will get a rent. He can also participate in cultivating the land as an employee of the farm unconditionally. And then earn a reward for your own labor. In this way, he does not suffer. If he could be more diligent, he would earn even more than if he cultivated his own land. ”
"I see." Wang Rui was convinced, and said: "Master Hou is amazingly talented, and the villain is so respectful." ”
"Who else has questions, can be raised now." Li Mu looked at the people standing behind him and gave them the opportunity to ask questions.
"Villain, villain has a doubt." A white-haired old man stood up, and everyone made way for him, obviously this old man had a high prestige among the people.
Li Mu's gaze softened a lot, and asked, "I don't know if the old man has any doubts, but it's okay to talk about it." ”
"Master Hou-" The old man was about to kneel, but was helped up by Li Mu: "The old man doesn't have to be formal, Ben Hou is also very busy, just get straight to the point." ”
When the old man heard Li Mu say this, he didn't insist, and asked: "Master Hou, the old man has only one son, and his wife is not in good health, and the son wants to stay at home to take care of us, that is, Li Mu thought of this early and came up with a solution, saying: "First of all, it should be clear that the main body of the new deal is greater than the branch. In other words, the policy of distributing land to each person must be implemented. And these contingencies are just expedient measures, and this is one. ”
