Chen Fuzai, an immigrant from Fuzhou, carried a hoe and a basket of dry food, and walked briskly into the field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, it was the middle of the afternoon, and the members of the farm were resting in the pergola, there were not many trees in this section, and it was all low shrubs before, but it was all leveled at the beginning of the year, and now it is a large area of fertile land.

"Fu Zai, you fool, why are you only here now, where are you playing, we are about to starve to death!" The deputy leader of the production team said with a smile.

A worker next to him also smiled: "Big brother doesn't know Fu Zai yet?" The boy went to his own field again to see. ”

Chen Fuzai hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "I didn't, the cafeteria said that it was going to change the gas to burn the fire, so it was a little slower, I was late, and I didn't go to my own field to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he diligently distributed the dry food in the box to everyone, and after distributing the dry food, he touched the back of his bare head, and always felt that something was missing.

The deputy team leader smiled: "What's so good, if you don't watch it eight times a day, you won't break up." All the alfalfa in your field is planted now, and even if you put it there, it grows so badly that you can see it in vain. ”

Chen Fuzai said a little shyly: "I know, I know, even we have never had our own land in our lives, and now we have ten acres of land all of a sudden. ”

The deputy team leader nibbled on steamed buns, salted fish and pickles, and said: "This will be autumn immediately, your ten acres of land can be planted with winter wheat, wheat is more expensive than white rice in our Datang, although the harvest is a little less, but it is not a loss." ”

Chen Fuzai arrived in Jiazhou in the middle of the year, he was extremely nervous, and stayed on the ship for a long time, although he was holding the thirty silver dollars given by the Tang people, but he didn't feel sure. It wasn't until he came to Datang and saw a real country that he was finally led to this farm, and the person in charge pointed to a concentrated ten-acre field and said to him, "This is your land", that he settled down.

It's just that it was early summer when Chen Fuzai arrived, and the farming time had been mistaken, and the farm planted crops such as alfalfa in these fields to store land resources, and also to provide fodder for livestock. At that time, Chen Fuzai was holding the title deed, and he couldn't wait to lie in the field and not come out. The peasants' paranoia about the fields is extreme to a certain extent.

The farm he works on is called Yu Harvi Farm, which was formerly called Wild River Farm, but it was changed to its current name in honor of Yu Harvey, a martyr who died in the Yokuz War. Datang Farm and the Soviet collective farm are two different things, although everyone belongs to the same farm, but now the implementation of the responsibility field contract system, the farm is mostly single farmers, everyone either ploughs a piece of land by themselves, or several people plough a piece together, the farm has special agricultural machinery and farm tools, such as Chen Fuzai's deputy team leader, he learned to drive a tractor "unique skill", he pulls a plow rake can plough dozens of times the field of others, and the contracted land is also dozens of acres. Even in this way, there is still room to manage others, and the deputy team leader also helps others plow the fields, but the two sides will generally sum up and draw a certain percentage of the transaction to him as a reward.

The farm's land is mainly divided into two plots, one is private land, which belongs to the individual, and the output of the land also belongs to the individual, which generally belongs to the new immigrants. There is also a kind of public land, which belongs to the large collective ownership of the farm, and all members are contracted, and a relatively low proportion is often taken as rent, and the cultivator owns it after ten years of cultivation.

The main role of the farm is to promote agricultural production cooperation, and provide farmers with some conveniences that they do not have in terms of grain distribution, promotion of new agricultural technologies, promotion of agricultural machinery, and overall crop planting plans, which is more advantageous than individual agricultural production. Then there is the matter of organizing land contracting and land reclamation. In fact, the farm now is more of a grassroots administrative unit.

Of course, after the peasants have a small fortune, they can also buy land on their own, and buy land divided into ripe land and wasteland, wasteland is cheaper, and even in some more remote areas, a few yuan per mu can be bought.

A group of people were eating lunch and gossiping, and the deputy team leader who was a little knowledgeable said: "You look at our farm, the reclaimed land is turning over and turning over the land, and the grain is getting more and more, and the price of grain has to fall, but this grain has fallen, and we have no loss, the state buys grain in a unified manner, and the grain prices are stable. Almost one acre can earn one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan, and the average of our farm is almost ten acres per person, which is 1,200 yuan per year, and this income is comparable to those who work in Chengli, and after ten years, this land will become our own, how good. ”

As soon as Chen Fuzai calculated this account, he was also super excited, and said: "Dare to love our Datang, all of them are landlords." ”

Someone said to the deputy team leader: "Big brother, you have cultivated more than 40 acres of land alone, wouldn't that be an annual income of five or six thousand, which is too powerful!" ”

Chen Fuzai also looked at the deputy team leader with admiration, in his mind, those landlords in his hometown of Fuzhou would never have an income of five or six thousand Tang Yuan a year, which was equal to one gram of gold, although Chen Fuzai had been here for a month or two, but he still didn't understand how much a gram weighed, anyway, he knew that the peony silver dollar he was holding was a Tang Yuan that could be exchanged for two cents and five yuan. It is about one equal to eight coins and more than two taels of silver, and the income of 5,000 yuan is 4,000 silver dollars, and if you put it in the Qing Kingdom, it will be more than 3,000 taels of silver per year!

This is higher than the nominal income of most Manchu officials, and it is comparable to many wealthy merchants, and ordinary landlords will never make so much money.

Chen Fuzai was already full of little stars, and said in his heart: "Datang is really a treasure land, if I learn to drive agricultural machinery with the deputy team leader, and I will also contract dozens of acres of land in a few years, wouldn't I be able to earn a few thousand taels of silver a year?" ”

However, the deputy team leader said again, saying: "But look at it, this time it is said to be a conscription, and thousands of people have been taken from various farms, but it will not affect the production of our farms." After that, there were more and more new immigrants to Datang, although there were more Dingkou and more food to eat, but there were more fields planted. Even if the state has a unified purchase, it will not hurt the peasants, but there must be a bottom line. Grain prices will definitely fall in the end, and it is definitely not as suitable for a person to plant a few acres of land as it is to work in the city, and besides, doesn't the city say that the environment is good and there are many opportunities, and young people are willing to go to the city. ”

Chen Fuzai shook his head again and again and said: "I don't, I think it's good to be able to cultivate the fields by myself." After that, I will ask for a wife, give birth to a few dolls, and live a peaceful and beautiful life. ”

Someone laughed and said: "You fool, you still want to find a daughter-in-law, there are not many others on our side, but there are many singles." There are some blind dates and other things every week, but the girls are all indigenous women, and there are Vietnamese women who have just arrived, but these women come to our Tang Dynasty to live a good life, and the husband who is looking for the first class is the management cadres who work in the organs and large enterprises, the second class is soldiers, teachers, doctors or something, the third class is ordinary workers, and the last is us who serve the land. ”

The deputy team leader laughed again: "Do you think our team leader has left the farm for the past two days?" It's not that I fell in love with a Vietnamese girl in Los Angeles, I haven't seen it anyway, and the team leader said that she is handsome. Although the team leader is also a farmer like all of us, he is more or less a small cadre, and the blind date requires Wang Ba to have a pair of mung beans, so he has to look at the right eye, so he found it. ”

Another person said: "You are like those girls from Vietnam, most of them are also peasant children, so those who have land and land may like it more, and these Vietnamese girls are more or less delicate than those Indian women." ”

The deputy team leader said again: "Wait, the team leader is going to build a new house when he comes back, and he won't live with our guys, and when the time comes, he will ask everyone to help him build a house, but he will have to be slaughtered, this is the first one in our group to get married." ”

Chen Fuzai is also over 20 years old, the eldest should be a family, although he came to Datang to eat and live well, and have his own land, but if he can't find a daughter-in-law, it will be troublesome, Chen Fuzai said: "There are many people who can't eat in our hometown, and many daughters in the family can't live and sell them, how can we be people with land and land now, it's really not good, I will go back to Fuzhou again, and bring a girl back to get married." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and the deputy team leader said: "What ambition, remember, if you want to bring the girl back, you have to bring one for me." ”

"And me, and me."

Chen Fuzai said: "Our village and four miles and eight townships, there are many tenants who have no land for people to cultivate, and the rent is high, and they may not be able to eat in a famine year. There are few people in our Datang area, and it would be nice if we could bring more immigrants and let everyone live a good life. ”

The deputy team leader smiled: "That's, otherwise you kid wouldn't have come to our farm, wouldn't you?" ”

Chen Fuzai also smiled convincingly, thinking to himself, waiting for himself to plant for two years, save a little money, and then go back to his hometown. This can be regarded as a return to the hometown, when the time comes, I can ask for a fellow countryman's daughter-in-law, and I can also publicize and bring a few fellow villagers to live in Datang together, which can be regarded as a contribution for everyone.

At this time, the merchant ship composed of three ships once again set off from the port of Long Beach towards Guangzhou. No matter how the cuckoo plan goes, trade with the Qing Dynasty still needs to be carried out at this stage, and the immigrants have to be smuggled back.
