Chapter 43: The Discussion of the Three Publics
Zhou Nan saw Lao Zheng Tou urging, so he said: "I invite you to come today, there is something to discuss with you, please advise." There are 160 households in our village, plus 73 homeless people and craftsmen rescued from the bandits the day before yesterday, and now there are more than 600 people in the village, and there are 115 soldiers in the family protection society. Although there is still surplus food in the village, enough to eat for a few months, how will we eat after these few months? It's not like you're sitting on a mountain of empty air, is it? The first is not to learn from the official and collect the taxes of each household, and the second is not to learn from the rich gentry, to collect the rent of each household, and to call it worry-free without the support of everyone. There is a lot of open space in the village, please only set aside a piece of land in the village, I have a way, I can provide food for the soldiers of the family community, and also help the lonely, widowed, old and disabled people in the village. On weekdays, the people of the cottage hunt and farm to make a living, and each family depends on themselves, without apportioning the affairs of the village. ”
Gao Bingchang and the others were itchy when they heard it, and they all urged Zhou Nan to say it quickly, what is the way. In this cottage, there is nothing else, but there is a lot of open space. Now I heard Zhou Nan say that as long as a vacant land is set aside, the problem of eating in the family care club can be solved, and everyone can be helped, as if they can pick up money when they go out.
Zhou Nan learned a lesson this time, and just tried to make his thoughts simpler to Lao Zhengtou, Liu Zongwang, Gao Bingchang, Zhang Yi, and Gao Yuan, and no longer imagined many regulations that tried to plug the loopholes of human nature.
Build a warehouse next to the council hall, and move all the things in the current warehouse as public expenses in the stockade, and all the money and property of Zhou Nan himself will also be used as public expenses for future work expenses in the stockade.
Zhou Nan's idea was to set aside a piece of land as public land on a piece of land, and a special person would be responsible for hiring people from the lonely old people in the village or households with more than one manpower, and organize these people to cultivate the public land, without paying wages, and only taking care of food like the patrol soldiers of the family protection society. The grain collected was poured into the storehouse of the stockade.
In the open land near the public land that cannot be planted, a shack is built to feed all kinds of domestic animals, so that the land can be used to the best extent, and the manpower is also hired from the lonely old people in the village or from the households with more than one manpower. The cubs were bought at public expense, these people were organized to be fed, and after they were raised, they were killed, the meat was marinated and stored, and the fur was also stored in the store. The manure of the livestock is processed and transported to the public fields for fertilizer.
Zhou Nan's idea, at first glance, sounds like an ordinary thing that the people in the village do on weekdays, and they have to hire people to do it, which seems to cook for more people and increase the cost. But listening to the ears of people like Zhang Yi, it was like a light in his heart and he saw the difference. If you farm land alone or raise some livestock, there is naturally no difference between farming and raising livestock by each household, but if you put it together and use it to fertilize the land, it will naturally produce more grain and rice. And the hired ones are all volunteering, just more people to eat. Naturally, I'm not afraid that no one will do it.
Liu Zongwang thought that as long as the people who could protect the family and the society ate, and there was no need to apportionment from each household, it was already the best policy.
Zhou Nan this division of farming, raising all kinds of functional areas, is the later generations of planting and breeding combined planting mode, although this is not much more advanced production mode, but also the later generations after a long period of experience accumulation to form, naturally than the current way of work effect is better.
After listening to Zhou Nan's thoughts, Lao Zheng Tou and the others didn't think much about it, so they nodded in agreement. In the past year, Zhou Nan has been selfless and resourceful, for the sake of Gaojiazhai, although he is an outsider, Zhou Nan has been recognized by the people of the whole village. The idea put forward by Zhou Nan not only solves the problem of eating for the soldiers of the family protection society, but also helps the lonely, widowed and weak, and more importantly, there is no need to apportionment from each family, where do such good things need to be discussed?
Lao Zheng nodded and said, "I am convinced of Da Lang's method, so there is no need to discuss." It's just that this public field and male animals are my cottage for the maintenance of the family community, lonely widows and lonely, and there must be capable people to manage them, so as to rest assured. ”
Everyone also nodded, and when Zhou Nan said the plan just now, he also said that he would have to undertake this matter by a special person. Zhou Nandao: "The name of the male animal that Lao Zheng Tou Shicai said is very appropriate. What if the person in charge of the public land and the public animals is not done by Mr. Zhang? There are only two father-in-law and Hun family in Zhang's family, and they will farm at four o'clock, which is in line with this matter. Zheng Sunchen and Gao Yuan and others even claimed that they were, and Zhang Yi did not shirk it, and responded to this errand and said: "My old man and the Hun family have been living in the field since then, and they will take care of the public land and the public animals." Zhou Nan saw Zhang Yi's response, nodded and said: "Very good, you will be in charge of cultivating the public land and feeding the male animals, and you will arrange the cultivation of wheat and vegetables; Chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, horses, etc., are fed at your command. When the plot is demarcated, you hire people according to the land. Zhang Yi nodded.
Zhou Nan was about to continue the arrangement, Gao Yun handed the teacup to Zhou Nan with both hands, and said warmly: "Da Lang uses tea." Zhou Nan was about to take it, when he suddenly saw everyone's strange expressions, his face turned red, and he said, "First of all, please use tea." Gao Yunjiao said angrily: "The slave family has been cooked, Da Lang said that he is thirsty, use it first." After speaking, he ignored what Zhou Nan said again, handed it to Zhou Nan, and poured tea for the master.
Zhou Nan took a sip of tea, and then said: "The last time I got some gold, silver and wealth from the mountain bandits, in the future, the grain, meat, eggs and other things of the public land and public animals should have a place to be stored, and the affairs of the public treasury are now taken care of by Zhou Xing, but there are many financial matters in the future, and a careful and diligent person must be in charge, and there can be no deficit and damage, but I don't know who should be in charge?" ”
Lao Zheng Tou said: "I wanted to do this errand, but there are as many trivial things as possible, and I am afraid that I will miss it." ”
Liu Zongwang took a sip of tea and said: "I have the strength to work hard, but let me manage these accounts to make a living, but it is a big head. ”
Gao Bingchang looked at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled and said: "Gao Dalang will not do it if he dances a knife and a gun; Zhou Dalang is now the master of a village, and he can't do it; Zhang Yi already has an errand; You're going to trick me? Okay, I'll take care of the treasury, but the old man doesn't know how to have accounts, but how can he be good? ”
Zhou Nandao: "Uncle Gao laughed, and he didn't dare to be called the owner of the village." You just have to rest assured, but the things in the warehouse that you have to take care of are in good condition, and the accounts are naturally done by Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing does the accounts, you only arrange the storage of things and check the number. Thou shalt not be able to do his account, nor he shall change thy number, but thou shalt be equal in number, and thy errand shall be considered good. ”
Gao Bingchang said: "This is easy to do." Zhou Nandao: "There are not many things at the moment, and when the cottage grows and the treasury is full, you will be allowed to select people for your use." ”
Gao Bingchang said: "This is the best." For now, I'm enough. ”
Seeing that everyone had discussed the matter of the public treasury and public land and public animals, Liu Zongwang said: "The matter of the three public affairs of Dalang is very urgent. It's just that there is one more important thing that needs to be discussed. ”
