Chapter 396: Take measures at the same time
At the same time as the construction of the workshop, Gao Feng vigorously carried out agricultural production and the improvement of the Dasha River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and every season of agricultural production must not be wasted while the productive forces are still very weak.
However, in the era of serious land annexation, the biggest problem facing Gao Feng was the livelihood of farmers.
Many peasants have no land, they can only rely on renting land to support, hard work for a year, not much in their hands, if they are greedy in a disaster year, they will also be in debt, this situation is the first thing to solve in the peak.
To this end, he took a two-pronged approach.
The first is to improve the Dasha River. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of sandy land on both sides of the Dasha River, and planting fruit trees on them can not only fix the sand and prevent wind, but also obtain economic income, so it is a very important project.
There is a plan, but what is lacking is manpower, and the plan of the peak is to draw from the landless tenants. To this end, he provided some preferential policies: anyone who is interested can receive land and fruit seedlings, and at the same time can borrow a certain amount of credit without interest, and can also sign a fruit purchase contract, which provides a guarantee for farmers to plant fruit trees.
Second, with the help of the development of industry and commerce, a large number of laborers are absorbed, so that the people have an additional way to make money.
After these two things, the landless tenants decided not to rent the land and moved elsewhere, and the land fell into the hands of the landlords.
The landlord was reluctant to hold a large area of land that could not be cultivated and had to pay a lot of land tax, so he began to reduce the rent or sell the land at a reduced price.
The credit policy of the peak also ensured to a certain extent that the peasants could afford to buy a small amount of land, so the return of land had already occurred when the Dasha River had not been effective for a while.
In fact, there is a third measure at the peak, that is, the reduction and restructuring of agricultural taxes, reducing taxes on land below a certain area, and leviing a large amount of taxes on land beyond this area. So as to balance the land as much as possible, but this article was not passed by the imperial court, and he did not dare to implement it privately.
Of course, there are likely to be some deviations in the implementation of these measures, for this reason, Gao Feng sent people to strictly monitor the whole process, and once there is a problem, it will be channeled in time and make appropriate adjustments to avoid contradictions.
Land return has become inevitable, and the utilization rate of land has become a problem.
While ensuring effective arable land, Gao Feng vigorously advocates planting and aquaculture. In particular, farmers were encouraged to raise more chickens, pigs, and cash crops, and some of the work done in the early stage quickly played a role.
The method of raising chickens and pigs was taught, and at the same time, the Gao family workshop came forward and signed a contract for the purchase of meat, which ensured the farmers' breeding harvest.
Due to the application of plastic pipes, the use of biogas lamps and stoves has not been a problem, so the peak promotes the application of biogas digesters in the county, so that at the same time, the waste produced by breeding can also be fermented first and then put into the ground, which is a kind of improvement to fertility.
The emergence of plastic film has made it possible to grow vegetables in greenhouses, and out-of-season crops have become a problem, which has become a trend again.
During this period, in addition to making good use of Li Qikun's cottonseeds, Gao Feng also sent people to buy a large number of cottonseeds from the south, and the popularization and application of cotton not only brought economic income to farmers, but also provided raw materials for textile mills.
At the same time as making these changes, Gao Feng also made improvements to the labor tools, such as the redesign of the ploughshare, which made the structure more reasonable, lighter, and more efficient in ploughing; The seeding machine was designed, and the seeding effect and efficiency were also effective, and so on.
It can be said that through this series of measures and means, the utilization rate of land has been effectively improved, and although the grain output is still too different from that of later generations, it has given people hope.
Gao Feng is confident that as long as chemical fertilizers and new grains are grown, agricultural planting will be a major breakthrough.
All of this converges in one point, that is, a variety of operations, interlocking, in ensuring that the county "east rice and west wheat, south fruit and north salt." "Under the condition that the overall pattern remains unchanged, it flexibly intersperses various agricultural and sideline productions to ensure the vested interests of farmers.
The top priority of development strategy is still industry and commerce, but at this peak it has become quite cautious.
After experiencing the reform and opening up of later generations, Gao Feng profoundly knows the interests of businessmen, as the ancients said, businessmen value profits. That kind of heavy profit comes from the bone marrow, and it cannot be changed by persuasion.
In fact, the development of industry and commerce is to take advantage of the "heavy profits" of businessmen, and the harm it brings is also because of the "heavy profits".
Some people say that "wine makes feelings thick, and money plays feelings thin", which is not bad at all, for the sake of interests, some people will do whatever it takes, even relatives can kill them, let alone others?
Gao Feng advocates the development of industry and commerce, but it is a standardized and honest industry and commerce, if this cannot be done, it is better not to develop.
When the development of industry and commerce reaches a certain stage, it will inevitably bring about counterfeiting, food safety and environmental pollution. These three can be said to be the three sharp swords hanging over the head of scientific and technological progress, life safety and human development.
Therefore, the peak carried out multi-party planning, and the first thing that was formulated was the industry norms, which made requirements for the whole industry. Of course, this is far from enough, effective supervision is the main way, he has set up a special regulatory department for this purpose, once found that there is illegal behavior, in addition to resolutely stopping, but also heavy fines; At the same time, the whole people are encouraged to supervise and give heavy rewards to whistleblowers.
Therefore, the development of industry and commerce has not yet been on the right track, and the county government has introduced a series of preventive measures.
With this in hand, Gao Feng began to demarcate business zones and industrial parks.
The relocation of Xicheng was completed in half a year, and the construction of the corresponding shops and counters is progressing rapidly, and Gaofeng will use this as a business area, where all large and medium-sized trade will be completed.
There is a large amount of saline-alkali land in the north of the city, which cannot grow crops, and the peak is divided into blocks to form an industrial park. Workshops were built here, engaged in production, so that the land was not wasted, and several workshops under the county were established here.
In addition, he also planned the county, setting up a food street, a clothing street, a cultural street, and various trading markets.
Of course, this is only a rough outline, there are more details, and he will adjust it at that time as the development will change.
The development proceeded step by step, and after the busy planting, the peak began the most ambitious project, that is, the Qinghe ditch, if this project is completed, its significance will be very far-reaching.
To this end, Gao Feng not only organized the participation of the people in the county, but also recruited people from other places, and strived to complete it within the year.
