"Yo, Kyungseung, you're back!" Xu Guangmao, a former small landowner, replied with a smile.

However, Xu Guangmao looked polite, and Ma Qingsheng could still see very clearly that Xu Guangmao was in a hurry to go out.

"Uncle Xu, I came this time to ask about the production team." Ma Qingsheng immediately said straight to the point.

The smile immediately disappeared from Xu Guangmao's face, "What's wrong with our production team?" ”

"I heard that Uncle Xu's production team is doing better, and I want to ask how I can join this production team." Ma Qingsheng said with a smile.

"That's it. Aren't you working in the city? Why do you ask about this? Xu Guangmao asked.

"My wife is going to come back to farm, Uncle Xu, you also know, let her plant three acres of land by one woman, I don't worry. I'm thinking about finding her a production team and joining together. ”

"This ......" Xu Guangmao listened to Ma Qingsheng's explanation, and his face showed a very embarrassed look, "Qingsheng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our production team is very tired." Your daughter-in-law is here, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. Wouldn't it be better for you to contact the state farms or the army farms? ”

Ma Qingsheng couldn't help but grin bitterly, he had indeed contacted the state farm and the army farm, but now the situation in the countryside has changed so much that Ma Qingsheng feels incredible. Not only are the factories in the city building institutions, but so are the farms. "Input, output, link control", all industries are beginning to develop their own systems according to this model. In agriculture, it can be summed up in a very simple sentence, "learn to arrange farm work".

The government does not force anyone to work, and there is no food subsidy for other rural families, except for government food subsidies for children to go to school. If you can't farm because of physical strength or disability, many jobs are arranged in rural areas, all of which are suitable for weak labor force jobs. But the income is just enough to make ends meet.

Ma Qingsheng naturally didn't know about the "welfare society", and the People's Party never engaged in any welfare system. Social security is to provide labor and employment opportunities, as well as corresponding job training. Only those who voluntarily accept these labour opportunities will be provided with a certain amount of subsistence for a certain period of time. Second-rate people who don't like to work have a special government department to conduct mandatory counseling. Ma Qingsheng can't recognize a problem, as his wife is now, he is not much different from a second-rate son.

People's habit is to compare, and if you compare it with before, this day is already a good day that you can't think of. You can not starve to death if you work, you can still have a little leftover, and you can buy some clothes and belongings. In the past, the wealthy were nothing more than that.

But now the Xu Guangmao in front of him is nicknamed "Xu Mancang", and the production team they set up has a total of more than 60 people, planting 200 acres of land, and yielding more than 300 catties per mu. Over the course of a year, a person can divide a thousand catties of grain. After paying the public grain, there were still 700 catties of grain. Coupled with mulberry planting and raising, such a production team can share an average of more than 60 yuan per person, ten chickens, three sheep, and two pigs. The most frightening thing is that other farmers either farm the land by hand or use animal power. Xu Guangmao's production team actually bought two tractors, and the People's Party's big farm has just begun to use tractors to plough the land in large quantities.

There are naturally many people who want to join such a star production team, but according to Ma Qingsheng's understanding, many people can't do it for a year and are forced to give up.

"Uncle Xu, is this delaying you from doing business?" Ma Qingsheng asked.

Xu Guangmao smiled heartily: "Qingsheng, this is not what Uncle is pretending to be for you at this time, this is about to start farming, and the production team is really busy." If you really have something to tell me, will you be okay at night? ”

Looking at the back of Xu Guangmao's stride meteor leaving, Ma Qingsheng already understood that with his wife Zhao Chunhua's appearance, he was afraid that he was too far away from Xu Guangmao's requirements. Although Xu Guangmao is not engaged in industry, his drive and relaxed and natural actions can be said to be no different from those excellent silk reelers in the silk reeling factory. It's all focused, clear, and knows exactly what you need to do. This is what a real worker looks like. Ma Qingsheng himself felt that he was afraid that he could not compare to Xu Guangmao.

But this made Ma Qingsheng decide to talk to Xu Guangmao at night, if his wife Zhao Chunhua can learn this attitude and improve herself to this level. Ma Qingsheng felt that it was worth finding money for Xu Guangmao.

However, Ma Qingsheng was reluctant to go home, and after returning home, there was a fruitless quarrel. Zhao Chunhua can't be persuaded at all now, she always feels that she has something to rely on. Ma Qingsheng is her reliance. Ma Qingsheng didn't think that he should not fulfill his husband's obligations, and even paid to support Zhao Chunhua. But the point of the "Internationale", which the People's Party is keen on, is, "There has never been a savior, and it does not depend on the immortal emperor!" It is up to us to create human happiness! ”

Ma Qingsheng can create his own happiness, but he can't create the happiness that Zhao Chunhua hopes. There is no master in the People's Party, let alone exploitation, everyone is a laborer, with hands and feet, how can some people live a prosperous life, and some people just live a life that is almost unbearable. I couldn't live a poor life before, and I can't live a good life now?

Walking casually in the village was too ostentatious, so Ma Qingsheng simply walked out of the residential area and walked towards the vast fields. The fields were full of people, ploughing the fields with their cattle, or working with hoes. In some areas, there are wheat fields, and after a winter, the turquoise wheat seedlings have begun to grow vigorously in the spring sun. The rice fields that are being planted are also being prepared. The branches also sprouted, and the birds began to fly in the sky. In the pond, ducks that have survived the winter also start swimming and hunting. Some of the little fluffy creatures had apparently hatched this year, and the stronger ones were trying to learn to swim, while the visibly timid ones were standing at the water's edge, trying to find something in the water with their flattened mouths.

Everyone is working, but it makes Ma Qingsheng a person who walks in the fields particularly conspicuous.

"Kyungseung?" Someone shouted. Ma Qingsheng turned his head to see that Wu Youwen, the director of the state-owned No. 4 Farm, was rushing behind him.

The two are also old comrades-in-arms, but Wu Youwen became a political commissar, but he retired later than Ma Qingsheng.

"Old Wu, where are you going?"

"Come here and do some research." Wu Youwen replied. After all, they are old comrades-in-arms, and after exchanging the latest situation with each other, when Wu Youwen heard Ma Qingsheng ask what are the characteristics of rural work recently, he also explained to Ma Qingsheng.

The Party Central Committee's layout for agricultural work is very simple, and it promotes the use of science and technology in all links. In the past, the peasants organized their own production, and the agricultural department was not prepared to forcibly force the masses to change these old habits. However, the agricultural technology propaganda department studies the various links and the scope of application. On top of that, the local agricultural departments also need to come up with the time spent in each link and the manpower required. It is not to encourage the masses to adopt new technologies in a swarm, but to teach everyone one by one "production processes", and let the masses choose for themselves.

This requires not only demonstration, but also a lot of research. It's not just the technology that's demonstrated, it's the use of labor, and the response in a variety of scenarios. Xiao Wall, director of the Anhui Department of Agriculture, is a veteran political commissar of the 105th Division. He gave a presentation at the conference entitled "Success Theory and Practice". The gist is that since the masses are now unable to understand the necessary links for success, they cannot understand why some of them are able to produce high yields and why their output cannot be increased. In view of the current situation, it is hoped that through theoretical education, farmers can fully understand the unreality of agricultural science and technology. Moreover, to put it bluntly, what the masses are pursuing is not agricultural science and technology at all, but how to get good results. In this case, it is advisable to adopt a "metaphysical model" for the time being, and provide more specific implementation models, so that the masses can choose according to their own circumstances.

"As long as there are enough models, there will always be a way for the masses." Xiao Wall said in the report, "The key is not to exaggerate the facts, and to explain the input and output of each model realistically." The output can not be discussed, and the input must be clearly explained. For the general public, the biggest characteristic is the tendency to expand the chances of success. For example, the good seeds we provide can be beaten for 400 catties in our fields, but how much can be beaten in the fields of the masses. We have to investigate this before we can say it. And the different results of different details, we must study them thoroughly. ”

This speech is too theoretical, Ma Qingsheng asked: "According to this speech, it is equivalent to telling the masses that it is possible to work hard for a year without harvest." Isn't it too demoralizing? ”

Wu Youwen nodded, "This is really the key point, the core point of this speech is to teach the masses how to avoid low production." It's not about how to be productive. Teach the masses what they must give, not what they must get. ”

"Hah! Brilliant! Ma Qingsheng praised repeatedly. This attitude grasps the fundamental, if you can not fail, the rest is how much you succeed. It's not low-yielding, the rest is just high-yielding.

"This is not only a question of how the masses organize production, but also the work of studying agricultural science and technology and studying specific situations must be undertaken by the agricultural departments. Each farm has its own tasks, and it's not just about how to increase yields, we also have to look at how to solve problems. Study where the various actionable key points are. It's really busy. ”

"You're going to have to be busy for a few years, man." Ma Qingsheng sighed.

Wu Youwen said with a smile: "It's not a few years of busyness, Director Xiao's words are that everyone should be prepared to bury their heads for ten years." The farmer's handbook is going to be written in 10 million or 20 million words. When I was farming, I really didn't know that there were so many tricks to farming. ”

The old comrade-in-arms sighed for a while, and Wu Youwen asked, "How is the situation in the factory now?" ”

Ma Qingsheng sighed: "Like you, you are also desperately studying how to formulate a system. But when you say that, I open my mind. Don't look for the best, try not to make mistakes. Try to keep everything under your control. That's the attitude of the officer. ”

"That's the only way to go, and if nothing happens, everything will be fine. If something happens, solve the problem, and try not to have an accident next time. Wu Youwen seems to have determined his thinking. The two didn't have much to gossip about, so Wu Youwen said goodbye and went to the field to investigate. However, it is obvious that with Ma Qingsheng's support, Wu Youwen's confidence in his work has improved a lot.

Ma Qingsheng slowly continued to wander in the fields, Wu Youwen, the director of the farm, and Xiao Wall, the director of the Department of Agriculture, were from political workers after all, and this insight was different. Ma Qingsheng can do a good job by himself, but he doesn't understand why he can succeed and why he can complete his work. The core idea is how to ensure that you put in enough labor, and let ensure the labor link. Instead of going straight to the results.

On the other hand, Ma Qingsheng's wife Zhao Chunhua is obviously not willing to pay enough labor as long as she can get the result. So she relies on this, which one she relies on, as long as she can not work, Zhao Chunhua wants to use what she can use. In the final analysis, it boils down to one sentence, "Zhao Chunhua doesn't want to be a laborer." ”

Comparing this line of thought with Zhao Chunhua's previous actions, this conclusion is extremely clear. All questions were explained. Zhao Chunhua didn't understand that her work was just a link, and she had to complete all the work in this link. Even if it is a small link, it is also a part of the whole chain. The person who can undertake the work of this link is a qualified worker. Zhao Chunhua obviously can't do it now.

Originally, figuring out the ins and outs of things should make people feel much easier, but Ma Qingsheng felt depressed. If measured from this perspective, if Zhao Chunhua can't realize this, she can't be a qualified worker. At least in the city factory, I'm afraid there won't be a place for her.

If you really talk about work, many people may not be more capable than Zhao Chunhua. It doesn't have to be a love of labor. But people have the advantage of being able to get the job done. People don't think they have any privileges, and they can still live if they work honestly. Not being good just means that you can't get the highest money, but it doesn't mean you can't get the money. As Wu Youwen said, "If you can not fail, the rest is how much you succeed." It is possible not to have a low yield, and the rest is a high degree of production. ”

The problem is that with Zhao Chunhua's current appearance, she can't finish her job. The whole person can't do anything else except keep making failures.

Realizing that he actually married such a wife, Ma Qingsheng felt that he couldn't be happy. It seems that it may be okay to let Zhao Chunhua go home to farm on her own, and it is really an unfinishable task to find her a job in a factory.

After wandering around for a long time, the sky gradually began to darken. Ma Qingsheng remembered the agreement with Xu Guangmao, and he began to turn back to the residential area. After several years of construction, the unified residential area in the rural areas of Fengtai County has become very large-scale, and there are not only unified residential areas, but also temporary residential areas in the fields. In the past, everyone used to build a shack in the field during the busy farming season. The current temporary living area provides a place to live and can rest and cook. The collaborative approach has made a lot easier. Some farmers chose to return home, while others chose to live in temporary settlements in brick houses. Xu Guangmao is the part of the people who went home.

Everyone's courtyard is the same, and the difference between Xu Guangmao's house is that a room is specially built for the office. There were several large sheets of paper on the wall, which looked like a work schedule in a factory. The difference is that there are a lot of small cloth bags underneath, and there are a lot of pieces of paper stuck in them.

"Uncle Xu, what kind of arrangement is this?" Ma Qingsheng was brought into the office by Xu Guangmao and looked at these and asked.

Xu Guangmao replied blandly: "This is what I learned from the farm, each work arrangement, each solar term characteristics, planting methods, and precautions. It's easier to remember by writing it down. And the amount of work that is planned to be done, the amount of work that everyone has done. And why it was not completed, the arrangement of temporary scheduling. This is a year-end assignment based on the completion of the work. This thing is wrong, and this is going to be scolded by everyone. ”

There is a special statistical department in the factory to be responsible for these statistical work, and Ma Qingsheng did not expect Xu Guangmao to be able to learn such a level.

Xu Guangmao was very concerned about this key issue, "Qingsheng, you said that you want your daughter-in-law to join our production team. What's going on? ”

Ma Qingsheng smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xu, you first tell me how you arrange people here and what you have to do." I'll see if my wife can do it. ”

"First, if you join our production team, you have to do enough work. Second, you have to do it for a year. That's all. ”

Ma Qingsheng felt very emotional after hearing this, "How tired is that?" ”

Xu Guangmao smiled bitterly: "I can't talk about how tired I am, there are a few people in our production team who are in their fifties." There are men and women, they can do it. You just can't do it for me, you don't do it. This arrangement is a one-year affair, let me find someone temporarily, who will I find. ”

If it was another request, Ma Qingsheng felt that Zhao Chunhua was only afraid that he could still do it, such a simple and repetitive work, Ma Qingsheng felt that Zhao Chunhua would not be able to do it for a year. Xu Guangmao: Where is the production team, except that the object of labor is land, this whole is the arrangement of a factory. Although Ma Qingsheng is not engaged in front-line labor, he is responsible for the patrol of the security department and the inspection of the inspection. Anti-theft, anti-fire, anti-outsiders from trespassing. If the factory can not have an accident, it will not show Ma Qingsheng's credit at all, but being able to avoid an accident is precisely Ma Qingsheng's greatest credit.

This is similar to the Ministry of Agriculture's proposal that "if you can not fail, the rest is how much you succeed". The direction of the new social system in the base area is a seemingly simple job. The problem is that it's really hard to get the job done.

Xu Guangmao saw that Ma Qingsheng was silent, and misunderstood what Ma Qingsheng meant, "Qingsheng, I'm not here to be a person." When someone comes, there are a few more acres of land, and we are also short of people and land. You also know how much cowhide, beef, and bones can be sold for now. With an additional 100 acres of land, our production team can also specialize in growing alfalfa and raising cattle. ”

"Uncle Xu, didn't I hear that you can apply for land cultivation from the big farm now?" Ma Qingsheng couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know, the land you applied for can only grow food, and you are not allowed to do anything else. Moreover, if you apply for more land, you have to hand over fifty percent of the grain. You only need to pay a certain amount of public grain on your own land, and you can use one acre of three acres of land to grow what you want to grow. The government is a little too strict. ”

In the face of the masses' doubts about the government, Ma Qingsheng naturally wanted to defend the government, "Isn't this a state-run grain depot?" If you don't grow enough food, what will you eat in the event of a natural disaster or something? ”

Xu Guangmao said with a smile, "Qingsheng, I'm a little greedy, I will definitely do whatever the government says." As you know, my original land was about the same as it is now, but at that time, anyone could come and slaughter me. Now that I've paid the government tax, I've got a lot more than before. I couldn't have imagined this good day before. By the way, Qingsheng, your daughter-in-law's affairs, do you think it will work. ”

Hearing the mention of his daughter-in-law, Ma Qingsheng hurriedly replied: "Uncle Xu, I don't think it's okay." I haven't said anything about it, so don't forget it. ”

"Oh, if you say that, think for yourself."

Ma Qingsheng noticed that although Xu Guangmao said it politely, he obviously looked relieved. It seems that this production team is really not easy to enter.
