"Of course. Yang Mingzhi said confidently, "relying on the exchange of work points, you must go to a special location, which brings great inconvenience."www.biquge.info I remember that the Soviet Union was allowed to privately raise some domestic animals and poultry, to grow a small plot of land. These agricultural products can be supplied for their own consumption, but because of the full rationing system, people have lost their enthusiasm for agricultural production. I believe that if this policy is implemented, the majority of farmers will first start raising their own poultry, and those chickens and ducks will survive by eating insects and grass. Agricultural products and handicrafts can be traded freely among the people, and the military only needs to set up some comprehensive market supervision and guidance. If something goes wrong, we can intervene immediately and put an end to any mistakes. ”

This is simply a market economy model with government control and intervention, which was later implemented by China in that plane, which is more dynamic than a planned economy, and can avoid and mitigate the damage of economic crises to the greatest extent compared to a purely liberal economy.

However, these remarks were still somewhat ahead of the Soviets of this era, and as far as the results were concerned, they would inevitably stimulate economic development, which was indeed somewhat contrary to the current governing philosophy of the CPSU.

"Now Novgomel has a total population of more than 30,000, and there are still refugees fleeing from many directions, and the total population will only be much higher in the future. In the long run, this will also be the main base for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and we will also have to support other guerrillas in the food, weapons, ammunition, and daily necessities we produce. How to expand productivity is our responsibility and obligation. ”

Lyudbalev nodded: "We have a lot of work now, as long as we are busy regulating the rationing of food. At present, the food warehouse does not store much potatoes, and after careful planning, it can still survive the spring famine, so everyone can only eat more fish and catch some marmots to deal with it. If your policy can be implemented to achieve excellent results, I will agree. But there is another point, how to define the price of various products produced by the villagers? According to your plan, all prices are defined by potatoes. ”

"Of course, we and the market jointly decide, after all, the exchange coupons we print are based on the exchange of potatoes, which is called the grain standard. As for other agricultural products and handicrafts, their prices do not need our intervention. If the price set in trade is high, no one will buy it, and if the price is low, no one will sell, and finally it will stabilize in a reasonable range, and no one will lose. ”

In the Stalin era, there will be a market economy, and Yang Mingzhi still has some worries in his heart, if the country does this in an all-round way, it will not be called the Soviet Union.

He still has to finish his words, and whether Lyudbalev listens or not is another matter.

"In the new economic plan I envisioned, everything is decided by potatoes, and there should be as much grain in the warehouse as there are vouchers in circulation. In order for the economy to prosper, we must fill the granary with grain, and for this reason, the current reclamation and planting plan should also be adjusted. ”

Yeretina immediately pricked up her ears, because the main force of reclamation now is actually soldiers. She asked: "Berekov, what are your plans for farming?" Could it be that the villagers are allowed to keep their own food after harvesting? ”

"That's fine."

"But in this case, do those villagers still need to be rationed?"

"Of course not!" Yang Mingzhi explained: "In other parts of the Soviet Union, agricultural taxes were still collected, and the rest of the grain was owned by collective farms, and the grain was collective. As for our current policy, the army is in charge of all the grain after reclamation and planting, and the daily rations of the villagers are also decided by the division headquarters, and the municipal party committee is currently in charge.

But I think that if we change the model and make the collective farms work in the family unit rather than the labor group, such reclamation and planting, the family pays the tax on the grain and the family keeps the rest. In this way, such a family no longer needs to enjoy rationing, and I believe that because the fruits of labor are enjoyed by the family itself, the individual's desire to struggle will be greatly stimulated. We don't need to calculate so much ration data, and the farmers' enthusiasm for production is mobilized, and I am afraid that this will produce unexpected results. ”

For this, Lyudbalev and the others and Yerentina were dumbfounded!

In the centuries-old tradition of Russia, the village community system still bears the legacy of the matriarchal clan era, and the homesteaders are composed of village communities, but in the process of development, the serfdom prevailed, and history did not have time for the serfs to transition to homesteaders for a long time, and the fall of Tsarist Russia was established after the fall of Soviet Russia. In other words, in the Slavic world, the emergence of a group of yeoman farmers in the family unit was very late.

Looking at their incomprehensible expressions, Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands: "Don't be too surprised, after all, I am still a foreigner, and my opinion on the land model is also my own opinion." ”

Yerentina breathed a sigh of relief: "Alas, your idea is completely illegal, the collective farm policy was formulated by the leaders and is the cornerstone of our socialist system, we have always pursued collectivism, but your plan is entirely to support the villagers in individualism. I basically understand what you think, the Soviet Union has eliminated private agriculture, the small peasant economy, and now you invite them back? ”

Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "It's really a problem, but I believe my model can improve productivity." For this reason, I gave him a name, which is called the household responsibility system. ”

The insistence on these Soviets was also expected by Yang Mingzhi. When China was reforming in that plane, it was also skeptical, until the leader personally made the decision, and then the successive bumper harvests made people believe that this was a good way to replace the old system of the planned economy, after all, increasing grain production was a good thing!

Here, Yerentina's status is equivalent to that of the CPSU, she is a member of the NKVD, and her reports can reach the ears of Beria and even Stalin.

In the future, Khrushchev was going to carry out a drastic reform of the collective farms, which led to a certain development of Soviet agriculture.

Yang Mingzhi spread his hands: "Now is an extraordinary period, we can completely engage in extraordinary agriculture in extraordinary times, everything is for productivity." You have also heard the wishes of the villagers, who urgently need a large number of means of production to solve the current poverty. Therefore, we can let go of some shackles and let them produce the means of production they need by themselves, which will stimulate domestic demand, and more materials will be purchased directly by us, which can also enrich the lives of the soldiers. ”

"One is the reform of the monetary system, where we print our own exchange vouchers that are credit-effective. The other is the creation of family-based agricultural production teams to replace the production teams of collective farms. These two reform plans of yours are drastic! Lyudbalev said this with great meaning, and Yang Mingzhi could hear that he neither opposed nor supported it, and he and the others were hesitating.

Because for 20 years, the Soviet Union has been completely following a planned economy, and the thinking of these people has been completely trapped in collectivism.

Yang Mingzhi said again: "I repeat, this is my personal opinion, I think that as long as I can increase productivity, I can allow Novgomel to quickly accumulate strength, which is very necessary for future battles." ”

These ideas concerned mainly villagers who were generally engaged in agriculture and did not interfere with rationing against soldiers and the working class.

Yerentina fell into great hesitation, and she asked silently: "Maybe Berekov's decision can be tried." ”

Lyudbalev was greatly surprised by this woman's statement, and he hurriedly asked: "You have made such a decision, and you agree with him?" If we do this, we are violating the system, the collective farms and collectivism, which is the biggest difference between us and the capitalist world. ”

"But he doesn't mean to turn to capitalism!" Yerentina raised her voice, "The land is still controlled by the collective farm, and for the villagers, we pay the public grain according to the agricultural tax and the war tax, and the remaining grain is no longer uniformly distributed by the production team, but is controlled by the villagers' families, which is not contrary to our system in essence." Because the land, the means of production, still belongs to the state! ”

The question of the ownership of the means of production has a bearing on the fundamentals of the system. Lyudbalev saw such an attitude towards this woman, she was a member of the CPSU and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she was the political commissar of the 284th Division. This army was authorized by the Southwestern Front and could free the situation. As the city council of Gomel, I am afraid that during the war years, I will not be able to interfere with them.

Lyudbalev thought for a moment: "As for the proposal to restore the monetary system, I agree with it on behalf of the city party committee, but I think we have to continue to discuss the reform of the land model. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, he had at least shaken Yelentina, which showed that the Soviets were not monolithic. "We should really study it, and if we decide to do so, we might as well experiment with it in the next potato season, and when the potatoes are produced in June, if there is a significant increase in the yield from the collective farms, we will be justified in our decision today."

"Then keep researching! That's all for today's meeting! Yevlov concluded.
