Chapter 167: The Tenant Crisis

Baotou in winter, there is a slight cold, because of the cotton harvest, and the formation of a large piece of open space, is the overall color of the current Baotou field, the cotton plants that have been picked are useless at all, some farmers will collect it and use it as fuel, the vast and sparsely populated Baotou generally relies on dead grass and dead wood, a large area of cotton fields, leaving a large number of plants.

If no one wants it, maybe these things need to be broken and put into the field for fertilization, but the manpower and material resources required are too amazing.

In a few days, the landlords who signed the agreement began to sort out their land, which needed to be reported to the reclamation company, and the planting of wheat was just a few days away, and they could not afford to delay this time.

Like the land, there are those tenants, they rely on the land to survive, after knowing that the land was subcontracted to the reclamation company, there was a series of ripples, the land is the foundation of their survival, they almost have relied on planting land for generations, now there is no land, what else can they do, this is almost a year, the reclamation company in Baotou has created a huge reputation, the previous cotton production is, the distribution of grain, high wages are also, the people after understanding a qiē, Choose to wait patiently, the humanized reclamation company will give them a reasonable treatment.

Under the personal attention of Yang Yuanzhao, he even directly found Qian Hu, deployed tractors, and most of the vehicles in the road construction army were mobilized back, and the warehouse was still in the process of intense installation, which had been assembled, and had a plough of the vehicle, which was driving tirelessly on the land around Baotou, at a speed of more than 15 hectares every day, and a large area of wasteland was deeply cultivated every day.

Deep ploughing of the land, turned out the deepest soil, even if it is barren land, after deep ploughing, also exposed the black soil, especially the eggs dug out from below, they will be eaten by the birds lacking food in a short period of time, the remaining small part, can carry the Baotou night, the lower temperature, very few, some old farmers, the old workers of the reclamation company, are eagerly looking forward to the planting of winter wheat, I don't know if Baotou, which has created a miracle on cotton, can it be on top of winter wheat, Soar again.

Seeing the roar of many machines, a large area of land, was plowed out, even if there are only these machines, this land will be in the time of wheat planting, complete heavier, many landlords, this dispelled doubts, the reclamation company has the ability to take care of their land, and get good income.

Liu Shu and his subordinates were busy for a few days, because now the cotton spinning mill has entered the state of trial production, as long as the raw materials and equipment are guaranteed, there is no need for too many people to focus on it.

No one is unwilling, after all, the current reclamation company, concentrated more than ninety percent of the land in Baotou, the landlords involved, the number is huge, the relationship network is close, besides, the myth of cotton, several Jin merchant families also see in their eyes, the Jin merchant family, not only commercially developed, rich, over the years, hoarded land, is also a huge number, in the past, land can only be used as a reserve, as a wealth of one aspect, now look at the practice of the reclamation company, land can even create zào wealth.

It is with this idea that these people began to actively participate in the affairs of the reclamation company, so that Liu Shu, who was busy with his feet not touching the ground, could unload the burden of one aspect, and dozens of people, under Liu Shu's arrangement, traveled all over the surrounding areas of Baotou, large and small villages, with the help of landlords and many housekeepers, the entire Baotou, because of the land entrusted to the reclamation company, and lost the dependence of the personnel, were calculated.

I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, even if it was Liu Shu, I didn't expect that in the whole Baotou, there are so many farmers who rely on the land to live, according to each person's 20 acres of land, the whole Baotou is about to reach 400,000 people, you must know that some of them have already been transformed from farmers to workers because of Yang Yuanzhao's continuous investment, this number is almost more than 40,000, but after deducting the more than 40,000, there are more than 320,000. It can be seen from this that the water and soil on this side have raised many people.

Liu Shu took the results and found Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao gave him three options, first, expand the scale of the factory, even if it is not expanded, it can also recruit workers in the early stage and conduct training, at present, Baotou has been put into operation flour mills, cement factories, brick and tile factories, can be expanded 2-3 times, this number, about 30,000 people, the highway company is also another focus, the number of expansion is not as good as the front, but because of the huge base, it can also solve 40,000 people.

320,000 people, solve 70,000 people, this is more or less a drop in the bucket, fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao gave a second method, a large number of recruitment, the reclamation company entrusted the land, just relying on the current more than 3,000 people, absolutely not, this is 60,000 hectares, that is, 6 million acres of land, this number is too huge, even if one person is responsible for a hectare of land, there will be more than 60,000 people, and to count more, can barely reach about 80,000 people, this is another direction.

The remaining 170,000 people, Yang Yuanzhao is ready to be trained as industrial workers, and they will gradually be incorporated into the newly built factories, but this excessive process is a little long, and Yang Yuanzhao will need a year or even more at the earliest, to be able to build a wide variety of factories and absorb enough workers, and at present, it seems that these people will be unemployed.

Temporary unemployment is not afraid, Yang Yuanzhao will not choose the way of relief, relief, will only create a group of lazy people, the future of Baotou, is a development, forge ahead of the city, Baotou will create a remarkable achievement in the whole of China, it seems that only cash-for-work is the best way to choose, the future of Baotou, need to re-plan, in the construction of the central city, roads leading to various places, as well as some basic work in the industrial zone, select the strength of the work, do not give salary, this is to rations, This can save a little pressure and allow these people to adapt to collective life more quickly.

Liu Shu was surprised to find that no matter what kind of problem it is, it is not a problem here in Yang Yuanzhao, the problem of eating for 320,000 people, such one, two, three will be dealt with, especially the last 170,000, in his opinion, the problem that cannot be solved in any case, but it can be solved lightly with grain, and he even thought of it in advance, in the agreement signed with the landlords, there is a clause according to the contract, from this year to next year, before the wheat harvest, many landlords need to take out a part of the grain, In the future, when the wheat is harvested, it will be returned according to a certain proportion, which seems to be a little small, but for the landlord's grain storage, it may not be able to sell it at this price when it is not available, and the proportion is more satisfactory to them.

It is precisely because of the systematic and perfect processing, because the landlords have joined the land reclamation company, and the tenants who have lost their land have no tragic fate, some of them have directly entered the farms belonging to the reclamation company, more than 60,000 hectares of land, and the number of personnel required is dozens of times that of before, and the recruitment of 80,000 people at once has so many conditions, but it has also recruited nearly 80,000 people, which have been incorporated into the reclamation company, which will have a huge financial pressure on the reclamation company, which is only the personnel who grow wheat, in the futureWhen the wheat is harvested and cotton is planted, the personnel will be doubled to 120,000, that is, mechanized large-scale production, otherwise, more than 60,000 hectares, that is, more than 6 million mu, at least more than 400,000 people are needed.

A huge team of 80,000 workers, even if only half of the salary is paid, and the rest is replaced by food, the monthly salary is more than 700,000, which greatly squeezes the expansion of the company, and the dividends of the company are almost all invested in it. Become the largest company in Baotou.

These funds, in fact, still come from the Jin merchants' batch of silver, 20 million silver, has become a silver dollar, and circulated to the reclamation company, in the future, with the wages of the workers, and flow back, this is a cycle, modern society, money is put there, it can't show its value at all, and they must be allowed to flow.

Mechanized production does not require much manpower, this part of the people, first of all, carried out military training, the military training tradition of Baotou workers, here brought into play, with 200 people as a group, from various factories, temporarily mobilized more than 400 people, for the training of these people, but they do not have the treatment of workers, do not get a unified clothing.

The organizational form, under the whim of Yang Yuanzhao, was replaced by the Construction Corps, which also formed the prototype of the Construction Corps, and the future agricultural reform of the whole of China is closely related to this Construction Corps, and a similar model has been continued.

That's it, it should have caused a huge shock land annexation, and then produced a tenant unemployment crisis, so it was solved lightly, obedience is strong, this is the nature of Chinese farmers, do not force people to a dead end, it will not rebound, the same is true of Baotou, after doing a good job of being able to do a good job, huge land turmoil, except for a few villages, there are waves, the rest, there is no turmoil at all, just like that, the success has passed, and the changes in Baotou have also set off a new chapter.
