Chapter Ninety-Three: Collective Ownership

It can be said that this tour of Yunnan has achieved the expected results.

Not only did they learn about the customs and customs of Yunnan counties, the composition of fiscal revenues, the people's sources of livelihood, and the defense and preparedness of various counties, but also caught Fei Yin, a big fish of corruption, which made a good start and provided important materials for the next step of anti-corruption and clean government work.

Li Yi pinned his hopes on this major case not only to set an example for others, but also to set off a role in punishing corruption, purifying the environment, and escorting economic development.

The 'Fei Yin case' will be preliminarily tried by Lu Mian, and after collecting the necessary and sufficient evidence, the main culprits Fei Yin and He Wanjie will be sent to Ningzhou for a detailed trial.

These two people are greedy and ruthless, cruel to the people, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people, Li Yi is ready to punish them canonically.

And the bigger gain of this inspection is to get Jiang Hua and Qiu Feng.

Yunnan is waiting to be revived, and the thirst for talents is the most urgent.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Ningzhou, Li Yi did not rush back to the inner house to rest, but immediately summoned Lin Yi, Qian Shitang and other relevant officials, and first informed me of my decision to appoint Jiang Hua as a Sihu to join the army, and appoint Qiu Feng to replace Zhong Xu as a judicial member of the army.

Then Li Yi mobilized everyone to study and discuss the issue of coal mining rights in Fuyuan County.

When Li Yi put forward his ideas, everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions.

Qian Shitang believes that although this so-called 'collective ownership' is different, it has actually become the default rule among the people.

Although it may be better to bring the coal mines under the ownership of the government and to avoid some conflicts of interest, since most of the land is now privately owned, blindly concentrating the coal mines in the hands of the government may lead to antagonism between the government and the people due to the gain and loss of interests.

In addition, centralized government management will also lead to mismanagement and corruption.

Therefore, it may be a good idea to adopt a 'collective ownership' system that is generally acceptable to the common people and introduce a monitoring mechanism.

Lin Yi also agreed with Li Yi's idea and put forward suggestions for improvement.

He believes that 'collective ownership' may be the best way to manage property rights at the moment, but it should be noted that due to unequal shareholding, it is likely to produce a one-word result.

The distribution of the benefits obtained by the collective may be decided by a small number of people, so that the majority of the population will complain.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation as much as possible, large-scale coal mines must be owned by the government, and the construction and maintenance of production and marketing operations must be funded by the government.

Other small and medium-sized coal mines should form a shareholders' meeting in accordance with the method of one representative from each local coal mine to jointly manage the operation of the coal mine and make major decisions.

Others also commented on their own experiences.

After brainstorming, the general framework of coal mining rights has gradually been formed, and the 'collective ownership' should be said to have won everyone's affirmation and recognition.

On the issue of mining tax, after discussion, it was tentatively decided that the tax ratio of government coal mines is 10 taxes, while the tax ratio of private coal mines is 15 taxes and 1 yen, which is slightly lower than the previous 10 taxes.

The main purpose is to benefit the people and hide the wealth from the people, and I believe that this is also acceptable to the people.

Regarding the issue of production safety, in view of the repeated occurrence of coal mine safety problems in later generations, which has brought huge worries and pains to the society and the people, Li Yi also put forward his own views.

To earn money, you have to earn money with conscience, and nowadays, in order to obtain the maximum profit, some people do not care about the safety of the miners at all, and even dig the mine roadway to a depth of tens of meters, and the follow-up protection measures are almost equivalent to nothing.

In this environment, where there is no ventilation facilities, once the accumulated gas escapes, it is very dangerous to do so, and it is impossible to ensure the safety of the miners.

Therefore, the current coal mine safety facilities are very simple and cannot meet the conditions for safe ventilation.

In order to ensure that coal mines can operate in a safe environment, strict safety regulations must be in place.

After research and discussion, everyone unanimously decided to set up a coal industry bureau under the participation of the sergeant in the army, and Li Hui, who joined the army as the director of the bureau, was responsible for supervising the production and safe operation of coal mines in Fuyuan County and other places.

In Fuyuan County, a coal mine inspection department was set up, and Lu Mian, the county commander, concurrently served as the inspection envoy to directly manage the management of each coal mine and the arbitration of interest disputes.

In terms of safety regulations, it is strictly stipulated that the vertical excavation depth of each coal mine shall not exceed 20 meters, and at the same time, a secondary road should be set up next to the main roadway to facilitate the provision of two-way escape routes in the event of danger.

Moreover, during the excavation process, it is necessary to construct roadway support at any time to prevent large-scale collapse.

In terms of compensation for mining accidents, in order to prevent disputes after the fact, the compensation standard was stipulated in advance, and as long as a mining accident occurred, the family of each miner who died would receive compensation of 200 taels of silver, which would be paid by the owner of the coal mine.

In the event of a mining accident in which more than 10 people died, the government would be responsible for the criminal responsibility of those responsible.

This standard of compensation is produced after full argumentation by everyone, although in Li Yi's opinion, it is still too little, human life is priceless, how can it be so clearly priced!

But others feel that it may be difficult to enforce if the standards are too high.

It is better to set it lower, which is more beneficial to the families of the miners, and Li Yi also felt that what they said made sense, so it was finally decided.

There are many other problems, and it is impossible to produce results at one time.

Therefore, everyone first discussed a general outline, and the specific personnel of the Li Association were responsible for studying and formulating, and then negotiated and determined after a period of time.

By the time these issues were discussed, it was already dark.

Li Yi looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, as if he hadn't seen himself for so many days, he was probably a little anxious about it, so he should hurry back to the inner house to see her.

Li Yi hurriedly walked into the inner house, and the huge courtyard was empty.

Since Xu Yang left, there were only five people left in this courtyard, who were like their masters and servants, and they became more and more deserted.

Walking along the bluestone path to the door of the main house, only the dim light reflected on the window paper told Li Yi that the owner of the house had not rested for the time being.

Li Yi quietly walked to the door of the living room, gently pushed open the door, and found that the living room was empty.

Hurriedly turned to the bedroom, only to see as if sitting quietly in front of the flickering candlelight, the cloud-like black hair was scattered on the graceful back, and the forehand was holding the cheeks in a daze.

Li Yi coughed lightly, waking up as if from his contemplation.

She turned her head, stood up with a face full of surprise, turned around and threw herself into Li Yi's arms, and before Li Yi could say anything, she actually cried.

Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, cough! We're ashamed!

Don't complain about the girls' changing moods, most of the reason is because we men take too little care of them.

You must know that since the suppression of Sun Decheng's rebellion, coupled with the tens of thousands of victims from southern Sichuan flocking to Yunnan, Li Yi has been too busy to withdraw.

In the past few months, not only have he rarely eaten at home, but he has often gone for ten days and half a month, and he has no extra time to accompany her, as if he feels that he has been wronged.

When Yunnan is on the right track in the future, I will have to find time to accompany her more and make her happy.
