A country, a big country, a strong country, things are always complicated.

The superiors, the superiors at the top, can never focus exclusively on one thing for a period of time. Just like China now, on the one hand, it negotiates with the Netherlands and on the other hand, it has to carry out propaganda and education, continue to organize immigrants, continue to build railways connecting Inner Mongolia, southwest China, Xinjiang and the interior, continue to recruit new soldiers, and continue to implement electric power......

……

Chenzhou Mansion, Zhoujiakou, Henan.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhoujiakou was an important hub for material exchanges between the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River, and was once known as one of the four major commercial towns in Henan. Now in the new dynasty, the prosperity of Zhoujiakou has not weakened at all, but has become stronger and stronger.

The year before last, that is, during the last year of the first cabinet's term, with the special approval of the Henan Provincial Government, Zhoujiakou was upgraded from a town to a county, becoming the latest county seat of Chenzhou Prefecture.

And as soon as the level of Zhoujiakou was upgraded, there was a moth here immediately!

In Chenzhou Mansion, which is densely populated and has less than three acres of cultivated land per capita, Zhoujiakou has formed a cooperative farm. This is the first cooperative farm in Henan Province formed by the people spontaneously since the rural cooperative system was advocated in China.

There are two large landlords, seven small landlords, 35 yeoman farmers, 100 and 3 tenant farmers, the total area of the farm is 11,000 mu, the total number of cattle and horses is close to 400, more than 600 vehicles, and 100 sets of agricultural tools!

Rural cooperatives are a new rural policy introduced by the second Cabinet after taking office. It can be linked to the cooperatives of the Red Dynasty, but it is not a policy implementation like the Red Dynasty, and Xinqin is here to participate voluntarily.

It is based on the premise that the land is contiguous. The means of production - land, larger farm implements and farming animals - owned by each individual - are put into collective ownership. It is up to the peasants to work collectively, each according to his ability. And there is a certain amount of preferential treatment in agricultural taxation. In other words, farm taxes in the form of cooperatives are completely different from agricultural taxes in the form of individuals.

There is only one premise. A family is allowed to only share in one farm, and in the nature of a cooperative, a single share shall not exceed 30%, and must be owned by more than five families.

Liu Xian did this, yes, this method was still thought up by Liu Xian. He also proceeded from the basic point of promoting the development of large-scale agriculture. At the moment, the development of 'farms' is still very slow. Liu Xian was a little anxious when he thought of the psychological aspect of mechanized agriculture in the future, so he came up with a rural cooperative. Anyway, it is not mandatory, and it will not develop to the point of the Red Dynasty at all.

Like Zhoujiakou here by nine landlords come forward to form cooperatives, because of the basic area and the speed of establishment. This incident directly alarmed Liu Xian. In other words, this week's Hebei farm in Jiakou is straight to the sky. Liu Xian even knew that the head of the Hebei farm was called Yang Wantong, and his family background was not rich, and he ranked last among the nine landlords, but he was a man from the former Qing Dynasty. In the first half of his life, he was very kind and fair, and enjoyed a reputation in Zhoujiakou and in the entire Chenzhou Mansion. He is not only a member of the Provincial Advisory Council of Chenzhou Mansion, but also a member of the Provincial Advisory Council. He is the leader of this Hebei farm, whether it is two big landlords. Or the lowest tenant farmers, they are very convinced.

The farm also has an agricultural company, a steam mill and an oil mill, as well as a breeding farm. The main thing is to raise pigs and sheep, and at this time, large-scale breeding of chickens and ducks is too easy to get sick. That is, if the pigs and sheep are not hygienic. They are also susceptible to pestilence. Although Yang Wantong is a former Qingju person, he has a flexible mind. It is directly linked to the agricultural bureau of Chenzhou Prefecture, which is not only in charge of agriculture. The same is true for animal husbandry. Henan is not as good as Saibei, and animal husbandry is not developed, so there is no need to set up a separate department. This agricultural bureau has a certain amount of technical strength in agriculture and breeding.

Now it has only been less than two years, and Hebei Farm is thriving and vibrant.

Last year, Hebei farms planted wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and sweet potatoes in blocks, wheat can be ground into fine noodles, corn and sweet potatoes are mainly eaten by themselves, and straw can also be made into green fodder to feed pigs and sheep. Soybeans and peanuts are used to extract oil, and leftover soybean cakes can still be used to feed cattle, horses, pigs and sheep. Cotton can be taken out!

Output has not increased significantly compared to before the merger, but agricultural taxes have been lowered and the added value of agricultural products has increased. It's just that Hebei farm's own grain and oil store has a higher profit than before.

With the foundation of the first year, Yang Wantong confidently took out a loan in the bank in the second year. We have purchased water pumps, drilled deep wells in the fields, communicated the various canals of the farm, built water reservoirs, and prepared to bulldoze three village plots that were completely wrapped around the farms, and built new houses with unified planning at five points, and the old plots were taken back to the farms.

"It's a separate room!"

"Let's start drawing!"

"Everyone line up!" The farm steward with a large horn stood on a high spot and shouted at the crowd. Not far from them stood Xu Shichang, the deputy governor of Zhoukou County.

This old friend of Yuan Shikai has now gone to the position of deputy county magistrate.

He didn't know that Hebei Farm had reached Tianting, but as the first person to eat crabs in the whole of Henan, Hebei Farm still has such a large area, and the county government and even Fucheng must pay attention to Hebei Farm.

Today is a special day. The farms in Hebei have been divided, and many reporters have come from all over the country, including many newspaper leaders like Ta Kung Pao. It is not good for the county magistrate to come forward to stand on the platform in person, Xu Shichang was originally the mayor of Zhoujiakou Town, so he naturally came forward.

As soon as the people below heard this, they also took into account that there were so many reporters and deputy county magistrates standing far away, and immediately rushed to the table where the room was selected.

This house doesn't cost money. The brick house is much better than the dilapidated adobe house in the original home. Although the yard is much smaller than the original one, no one wants to.

In the rural areas of Chinese mainland, it is an ordinary rich peasant, or a small landowner of 1,200 acres of land, and his house is half green brick and half soil.

"Whoever grabs it again will be dragged to the end to pick a house!" There was a roar from the loudspeaker. Not only verbal threats, but the farm security guards responsible for maintaining order began to force everyone into a long line.

These security guards are also farm people, and those who don't want to queue up properly, almost every one of them is known to themselves. In addition to the tenants who were similar to the 'contractors', there were also yeoman farmers and even sons of landlords. No one is easy to offend. They smiled and said, "Let's go forward." "The security guards don't want to lose their temper with these people. I can only say with a pleasant face: "We have tried many times before, and we can only draw it once." You can't see that number in the box, and it may not be good to draw it early. ”

And then this time the choice of a house is really a big deal. What's more, the Chinese people's 'official-oriented' thinking is deep-rooted, and they subconsciously feel that if they let the upper echelons of the farm make arrangements, there will be drawbacks. I am afraid that the good houses and the houses with good geography have been taken away by the sons of the landlords. So what do they do? It's just to be at the top of the line!

The people couldn't figure out how to cheat in this way of drawing numbers on the farm, and they subconsciously felt that the sooner they draw, the better. Therefore, they may not be able to draw the number at the top of the queue, and the words are purely good to the deaf. This is the habitual thinking of human beings! Emotionally, I always feel that when there are many choices, there is a greater chance of getting good.

Xu Shichang said in an official tone to reporters at this time, "Everyone wants to see how enthusiastic the people are about the division of rooms." The more enthusiastic the people, the warmer their hearts are, the more they will remember the good of the farm, and the more cohesive the farm will be. I believe that the work of Hebei Farm will be better and better in the future, so that every household in the farm will become more prosperous! "Although the arable land area of Hebei farms has decreased this year, they can earn more than last year. Because the farm buys wheat, peanuts and soybeans, grinds them into fine flour, and squeezes them into peanut oil and soybean oil, the selling price is much higher than the price they receive.

Just like the soybean industry in Northeast China, with the recovery of China's economy and people's livelihood, it is first reflected in the demand for living materials. Hebei farms not only sell grain and oil, but also breeding farms, coupled with the ducks and geese raised in the small rivers and puddles on the farm, this Hebei farm has unconsciously formed a certain influence in the entire Chenzhou Mansion. It's been less than two years!

Xu Shichang already planned to write a detailed article after the end of this year's farm income statistics, and after co-signing with the county leaders, he would see if he could get the recommendation of the government and send it to the provincial government. If it can be published in the provincial newspaper, it will be of great benefit to your career in the future.

Just over twenty-eight years old, Xu Shichang sat in the position of deputy magistrate, although this Yuan family has a certain origin. In addition to the Xiangcheng Yuan family, which is a member of the provincial department, the influence in the current Chenzhou Mansion is not ordinary. Not to mention that Xu Shichang's own ability is excellent, and he just happened to catch up with the stall of Zhoujiakou Town's promotion to the county, and he became the deputy county magistrate at a young age, as long as he does not make major setbacks in the future, he will have a great future.

Therefore, Xu Shichang is now also looking forward to a higher stage.

The lottery is going on. Although there is nervousness, anticipation, and worry. Although the people hope to be able to rank higher, in the end, it is according to the rules. In fact, the purpose of the common people who want to come higher is not necessarily to think that they can get a good number before they can go higher. It's just that if you get the room number early, it means that you can go to see the house earlier, and your heart can settle down early.

Later, Liu Xian saw the article written by Xu Shichang, and even knew that the article that was co-signed was actually completed by Xu Shichang himself. But he didn't say much about this approach. There is a way in officialdom, that is, there are friends in all directions; There is also a saying in officialdom - don't eat alone!

Xu Shichang, a very familiar name, caught Liu Xian's eyes for the first time. He suddenly realized that it was almost 1885, and it turned out that the warlord bosses in Beiyang had already reached the time to get ahead...... (To be continued......)
