Chapter 1115: Breaking Land Boundaries
The scene was called a lively, as if it was like the New Year, and the elderly and children crowded into the crowd to watch the excitement.
More to see who brought these two patriarchs together?
This is a scene that has not been seen in decades!
After the two patriarchs gathered, they immediately spoke and said that they would enter the house to discuss, and let everyone wait outside the door for the time being.
Naturally, I was also brought into the house by the two patriarchs.
In the hall of the Zhou patriarch's house, the Zhou patriarch asked the servants to help make tea.
Only then did I understand that it was not only Patriarch Liu who had servants, but also Patriarch Zhou.
They are like the old society here, and the so-called patriarch is actually the township chief.
The two patriarchs sat on an equal footing, and the place directly above the hall was empty.
And I chose to sit at the end of the two patriarchs, after all, I am a junior and a foreigner.
But as soon as I sat down, the two patriarchs looked at me and said in unison, "I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to sit here, right?" ”
I looked at the two patriarchs in a daze, and asked cautiously, "Then where should I sit?" The two patriarchs, please be clear. ”
Neither of them seemed to be thinking, and at the same time pointed to the Taishi chair directly above the hall.
To be honest, I was scared!
I am a descendant, and I am a foreigner, how dare I sit on this Taishi chair?
I said in horror, "This ...... I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right? The two patriarchs are a foreigner, and I am still a junior, so it is not appropriate to sit in that position. ”
"If we say it's appropriate, it's appropriate!" The two of them said in unison.
"Can you explain why? Why should I sit in that position? I said.
Patriarch Zhou took the lead and said: "It is because of you that our two patriarchs gathered together, and it is also because of your relationship that we villagers have the opportunity to stand up, and you are understandably the leader...... So what reason is there not to sit in this position? ”
As soon as Patriarch Zhou finished speaking, Patriarch Liu also echoed and insisted that I sit on the Taishi chair.
I don't care anymore, just sit down, what's the big deal.
I walked over without hesitation, and then sat on this Taishi chair, sitting directly above the hall, very like an earth emperor.
The two patriarchs began to discuss, and from their discussions I heard about some famous names.
It turns out that the division of the land is simply because of the accident a few decades ago.
And because it has not been resolved, it has been such a stalemate for decades.
There is no way above, after all, this is related to all the villagers in the two townships, as well as a large part of the economic resources.
But no one stood up to speak, so it was a stalemate.
Patriarch Liu took the lead and said: "This matter is not small in our two townships, and it is strange that we have never met to regulate this matter, and everyone is still the same old thinking as before." But today's gathering, let's talk about it, it's okay, the grievances of the older generation don't need to involve our children and grandchildren, what do you think, Patriarch Zhou? ”
Patriarch Zhou nodded and agreed: "Yes, at the beginning, my previous patriarch and your former patriarch of Qinglong Township had to fight to the death, and we had no choice at that time...... It's our fault, we have to admit it! Since Patriarch Liu has said so bluntly today, I will also make a statement about it, and re-plan the land of the two townships from now on. ”
It seems that this matter has been agreed, in fact, when the two patriarchs met, I already knew that this matter was done.
But for me, it's not just about rezoning the land.
So, when both of them were happy, I suddenly said, "Two patriarchs, I still have something to say. ”
Both of them looked at me at the same time, and Patriarch Zhou said, "Please speak." ”
"It's still a matter of land division."
Patriarch Liu frowned and said, "Didn't we all negotiate just now?" It was decided to reorganize the division. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, but I have a better way to help the villagers on both sides achieve great benefits." ”
Both of them narrowed their eyes, expressions of disunderstanding me.
I smiled and said, "That's the case, since we've already negotiated, why don't we just break the land boundary?" ”
The two of them still looked at me suspiciously, and Patriarch Zhou said, "What does it mean to break the land boundary?" ”
I stood up from the Taishi chair, walked to the middle of the hall, and said with a serious face: "Breaking the land boundary and setting aside the land for each family according to the capitation, and sharing the land to grow other crops with higher returns, can greatly improve the economy of the two townships and the income of the villagers. ”
After listening to what I said, the faces of the two of them were still a little foggy.
Patriarch Liu spoke: "I'm afraid this won't work, right?" We agree, and the villagers won't. ”
"That's right! If the land is well shared, whose family will it belong to when it is harvested? Patriarch Zhou continued.
I smiled and continued: "Considered collective, the villagers are invested in shares according to land, for example: one acre of land is 0.5 shares, two acres of land is 1 share, and dividends are distributed at the end of the year...... In this way, all the villagers are shareholders, and our land is equity. ”
The two patriarchs still didn't understand, and they all looked puzzled.
So I said to them bluntly: "To put it simply, all the income generated by the common land of the two townships will actually be distributed to every farmer...... Using the village collective to drive benefits, the villagers' benefits will only be high, not low. ”
Patriarch Zhou still waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, this is absolutely not good, it is easy to say, when the time comes to really pay dividends, it will definitely not be the same, and the farmers are not willing to do it." ”
"That's why I said that it is based on the land, and the farmers are willing to take out the land." I went on to explain.
The two patriarchs, you look at me, I look at you, and it seems that they can't make up their minds for a while.
It may be a difficult decision for them to make, as only a handful of people do it, and no one dares to take the risk.
I needed to give them time to think about it, so I didn't talk anymore.
A minute later, Patriarch Liu finally spoke: "Okay, just as you said, but where do the collective benefits come from?" What can be planted on common land? Who will manage it? Who is responsible? ”
Patriarch Zhou nodded and agreed: "Yes! It's not as simple as you say. ”
It seems that they have really thought carefully, and I replied confidently and calmly: "Collective benefits are generated from collective land, and what to plant still needs to be decided after agricultural experts come to our two townships to inspect the actual situation...... The managers are the farmers themselves, and the employees are also the farmers themselves. ”
"So who's going to be in charge of these things? Patriarch Liu, are you coming? Patriarch Zhou spoke.
Patriarch Liu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare, I can't understand what he's talking about, if I really want to do this, let him be responsible." ”
So the two of them looked at me at the same time and said in unison: "You come to be the person in charge, are you willing?" ”
This person in charge is not so easy to be in charge, and if anything goes wrong, he has to pay attention to all the farmers.
So none of them want to take on this responsibility, but someone has to take it!
After a short period of thought, I finally nodded and said, "If the two patriarchs think that my method is feasible, I am willing to be the person in charge." ”
