Chapter 287: The Taste of Happiness

At the end of September, autumn is getting stronger, and the countryside around Jiangcheng is already a golden world. The mountains are full of rice being harvested and waiting to be harvested.

The crops and green trees on the hillside, and the golden rice fields separated by the green fields, are like a palette that has been overturned by God and fall into the world.

On the path, you can see farmers harvesting grain in the rice fields, and stacks of firewood piled up in the cornfields, forming various interesting patterns.

At this time, the countryside is like a lyrical pastoral song, singing melodiously in the mountains, making people intoxicated by the picturesque rice fields in autumn.

Li Zhongxin likes to watch the autumn harvest and the joy of seeing people's harvest, and it has been more than a year since he was reborn, and it is the first time he has watched the autumn harvest in the fields in the countryside.

Li Zhongxin stood quietly on the land between Zhubantun and Fulong Village, and the golden fields in the distance broke the messy style of demolition and construction everywhere before.

A few chirping sparrows woke up the silence.

The mountains in the distance, covered in mist, prove something there, and the stacks of firewood and grass in the near distance seem to make people see some warmth.

The intersection of the main road and the small road is very lively, setting off the tranquility of the countryside in the distance.

The peasants who harvested grain everywhere had a taste of happiness on everyone's faces.

Seeing the joy and happiness on the farmer's uncle's face, Li Zhongxin spontaneously gave birth to a kind of happiness, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

Recently, when Li Zhongxin was chatting with Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu, he figured out the reason why grain output has begun to increase by a large margin in recent years.

Liang Guofu and Dong Guozhong told Li Zhongxin that when the peasants were in the production team before, the production team's daily work was two or three cents all year round, and the value of one work in the least few years was eight cents.

In the early sixties, the peasants' enthusiasm for labor was not high, and all the grain was owned by the collective, and basically they did not have enough to eat, and their work was low, so they got less goods in exchange, and there were more family members, so naturally there was not enough food.

The most important thing is that in those days, except for the Chinese New Year, the peasants could hardly see anything with oil and water, and if the laborers in the family had enough to eat, then everyone else would basically starve.

Not only is the work value low, but they also have to afford some large-scale water conservancy construction and some other construction transportation work, which are all free of charge, as if they were forced into labor in ancient times.

At this time, their enthusiasm for work is very low, and even every day is a mixed day, and being able to mix a day is a day.

In the 70s, the peasants were in a state of half-starvation and half-satiety, and because of some chemical fertilizers and pesticides, grain gradually began to increase, and a large part of the peasants were able to eat enough.

Dong Guozhong and Liang Guofu told Li Zhongxin that at that time, the peasants were working in the production team, and two-thirds of the wheat and grain produced each year were handed over to the state, and the best ones were handed over to the state.

At that time, if only half of it was paid, the peasants could eat white flour steamed buns all year round.

However, at that time, the consciousness of the peasants and collectives was high, and they felt that as long as they made contributions to the construction of the country, they felt down-to-earth and meaningful!! No regrets!!

Without the people's fighters to defend the country, without the machinery used by the workers' brothers, the country would not have developed.

It is precisely because of such selfless dedication of the peasants and the unity of the people of the whole country that China is what it is today.

If the weather is good in a good year, but in a disaster year or a sharp reduction in grain production, then the most bitter are the peasants who are digging in the fields.

In particular, in the first two years, the state introduced advanced foreign technology and began to produce chemical fertilizers and pesticides independently, so that peasants could afford and buy these means of production when they were planting.

The production team yielded dozens of pounds per mu, and after contracting, the yield per mu immediately increased by nearly ten times.

In 1978, the reform of the household contract responsibility system, this land reform, divided land property rights into ownership and management rights.

The ownership rights are still owned by the collectives, and the management rights are subcontracted by the collective economic organizations to the peasant households for independent operation, and the collective economic organizations are responsible for supervising the performance of the contract, the unified arrangement, use, and dispatch of public facilities, and the adjustment and distribution of land, thus forming a set of two-tier management system that combines unification and decentralization.

The implementation of the household responsibility system has corrected the long-standing drawbacks of a high degree of centralization of management and an excessively monotonous mode of operation, and has enabled the peasants to change from mere laborers to both producers and operators in the collective economy, thus greatly arousing the peasants' enthusiasm for production and giving better play to the potential of labor and land.

In order to protect peasants' right to operate land, the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, adopted at the Fifth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress, stipulates that "land in rural areas and suburbs of cities shall be collectively owned, except for those that are owned by the state as prescribed by law, and homestead land, self-reserved land, and self-cultivated mountains shall also be collectively owned."

In the early 80s, the peasants had freedom and enthusiasm for land contracting, and grain production began to increase by a large margin.

When Li Zhongxin was just reborn, it was in 82 years, and although Li Zhongxin's family was a city hukou and everyone had food rations, most of the families had not yet fully reached food and clothing.

At the end of '82, the Black Province began to officially launch and implement the land contract system.

In addition, with the implementation of the household responsibility system, families have begun to spend money to buy chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and seeing that the harvest will be greatly improved, the peasants' enthusiasm has been mobilized at once.

If there is no big accident, there will be a bumper grain harvest in '83, and the people of the whole country will have enough to eat.

After watching the autumn harvest for a while and feeling some of the joy of the autumn harvest, Li Zhongxin slowly paced down the small dirt slope and walked towards the headquarters of Zhongxin Company.

Some time ago, the good news was frequent, the contract for the large-scale cement plant invested and built by Zhongxin Mitsui was officially signed, and a large number of personnel of Mitsubishi Mining Company have entered Jiangcheng with large-scale construction machinery and started infrastructure construction in the east of Jiangcheng.

After he and Yang Hua talked about the establishment of Zhongxin Construction Company, Yang Hua's speed was very fast, and a few days ago, Zhongxin Construction Company had begun to officially undertake small projects, and the number of personnel had reached 300 people.

At this time in '83, the number of employees of Jiangcheng's largest No. 1 construction company was more than 100 people, and Yang Hua's gradually becoming a loyal construction company surpassed Jiangcheng's largest construction company in terms of personnel.
