Hearing Ding Yun say this, both the villagers and the village chief were quite surprised, because they really didn't think that their village's work could be directly traded as currency.

And it doesn't seem to do any good, does it?

Even the appearance of feeling a loss.

Village Chief Wang asked directly and worriedly:

"That, if you do this, will the money in your hand not be enough, after all, these bicycles and sewing machines can't really be without money, and they can't make you suffer too much, no, it's just us taking advantage."

The village chief really couldn't figure out why Ding Yun did this, he didn't eat like this because he was a blessing, and it was difficult for him to measure the value of his work.

Isn't that a problem for him?

But some people on the side feel that Village Chief Wang is really not kind, and his family has changed to a bicycle and has become a good person, and they are willing to do so, do you persuade him?

If you take cash out to buy, they may not really have that much money, or they may not be willing to do it, but if they take the job in exchange, the family will make up a little bit, maybe they can make up enough, and the pressure will be less.

As for those who can't afford to change the labor exchange, it is generally a family with fewer people, and it is difficult for this kind of family to eat enough, so how can there be spare money or spare work to change bicycles.

They weren't meant to be in the picture.

"It's okay, village chief, I don't necessarily lose anything, the village's work division at the end of the year can not only participate in the distribution of grain, but also participate in the distribution of money, this is more than direct exchange of money for food options, besides, everyone's share of food in the city is set, although it is not starving, but there is no way to open up to eat."

If you go to the black market to change it, you have to try your luck.

So when I went back, I sent back some food with more labor, and the relatives at home, especially those who had half the eldest child eating the poor old man, were very happy.

And I know you're worried about something, it's just that the value of the work isn't easy to measure, right? ”

"This is also easy to do, the specific value of the work is nothing more than the distribution of grain and the year-end income, a little division can be obtained to get a penny, about a few cents, and a few taels or a few dollars of grain with it.

If you convert food into money, and add it up to the money you would have shared, isn't that the value of a penny, as long as you can make up a hundred? ”

In order to make Village Wang feel at ease, and to make his behavior and measures not so special, there is a reason, Ding Yun specially explained the use of the work he exchanged and the labor in exchange for food.

At the same time, it also proposes how to measure the value of work.

Everyone thinks it makes sense, because everyone in the city has a fixed share of food, and the elderly and children can eat it, but the children who are growing up and the adults who do the physical work are really not enough to eat, and they have to rely on others to save some food for them.

Or find a way to buy some through other channels.

Some of them have relatives in the city, and sometimes the relatives do bring some industrial goods in exchange for food.

But Village Chief Wang was still a little embarrassed, and continued to ask embarrassedly: "That, Xiao Huang!

And then there's a little bit of a problem, that's grain, you know, the price of grain is actually very unstable, we send grain to the purchase station, and the purchase station buys one price, this price is very low, and the grain that needs food stamps to sell outside the market is another price, and finally there is the grain that doesn't need tickets on the black market, and another price.

What price are you talking about......

If it's the price of the acquisition station, will it be a little lower, you also know that it is not easy for people to ......"

"Oh, that's what you're worried about, village chief.

It certainly can't be the price of the buying station, but it's also unlikely to be the price of the black market, and if it's a black market price, then I might as well let my relatives go to the black market and buy it themselves.

After all, if it's the same price as the black market, I'll have to add postage if I mail it back in a package, right?

It can be higher than the normal selling price.

But it can't float too much, at most it will float up one or two percent, you see, so everyone can accept it, right? ”

Out of consideration that he sometimes can't speak too well, coupled with the instability of the black market price, the high energy is ridiculously high, so Ding Yun immediately felt that he still had to choose a compromise plan, which was better according to the market price.

If you float a little, it will be regarded as a food stamp.

And Village Chief Wang didn't expect to be able to settle with the grain price on the black market, and he was already very satisfied with a standard price, and now he can float up, how can he not be happy?

So, of course, he immediately nodded his head and said yes.

The next step is to call the scorekeeper and the person in charge of last year's accounts, and together we will calculate how much grain a piece of work was worth last year, and then estimate how much grain is worth this year's work, and then convert the price of grain into the current general market price, and make the final calculation.

After such a big chase is calculated, the final result is that one cent of work is worth about seven cents.

And normal people have full work points, in fact, there are only ten points, like Ding Yun They can only get three or four points for the work of cutting pigweed, generally speaking, except when the farm is busy, in fact, few people can get full work points.

It has to be said, even if you add the price of food.

Cents aren't worth much either.

It takes more than 1,400 points to get 100 yuan.

When it wasn't calculated before, everyone thought it was quite cost-effective, but now after the calculation, many people were a little surprised, and even didn't want to exchange it, because more than 1,400 jobs were already an adult.

And it's not a very lazy adult.

How many points you can earn in a year!

Last year, the person in their village who received the largest amount of personal work only received 1,987 points, which is not much more than that.

Of course, most of the people who have the idea of withdrawing are those who have relatively few family members, or those who have relatively few strong laborers in the family, such as those who have seven or eight adult sons in the family, or who have not separated their families, and who have a lot of strong labor, basically decide to change immediately and have to change to a bicycle.

Some even want to change to two, three.

As for what you don't have to worry about not having enough food?

In fact, there is no need to worry, because the rural grain distribution is not purely according to the number of work, the general principle is to follow the principle of seven labor three, that is to say, seventy percent of the grain does not need to look at the number of work, purely look at the population of the family, according to the population, the remaining three percent is distributed according to the number of work, generally speaking, as long as it is not a famine year, even if there is no work at home.

Someone seven, this part of the food is there.

You won't starve to death if you save a little food.

This is also the reason why the value of the work is not too high.

As the number of jobs that needed to be exchanged was announced, some people soon retreated, and some people hurriedly stepped forward to say that their families wanted to change, and Ding Yun began to register them at this time, saying that they could only register and make an appointment for the time being, and when the goods were available, and their relatives sent them over, and then the real meaning of the exchange.

Slowly postpone the reservation in the order in which it was made.

Everyone has no opinion on this, after all, everyone knows that bicycles and sewing machines that don't need tickets must be very difficult to get, and everyone can afford to wait if it's late.

At most, the two families will get married in a few months.

I cut the queue and put my family in front of the line, and I sincerely hope that the bicycle can arrive before the wedding, so that I can ride the bicycle to greet my relatives.

In addition, there are also villagers who are worried that they will not be able to catch up.

and villagers who didn't plan to exchange.

Directly discussed with Village Chief Wang and Ding Yun at the scene, whether they could go back and borrow their bicycles and tricycles to welcome their relatives, three or four bicycles opened the way, and the tricycle behind was loaded with a dowry.

If you don't belong to your own family, you can borrow it.

That's also ability, but also face.

While talking, many villagers have already imagined that after the bicycle they ordered arrives, their village will get married, and the bicycles of the whole village will go out together to help greet relatives, how spectacular and enviable.

The girls from the nearby villages don't all want to marry in.

It's beautiful to think about......

In the end, the work can still be exchanged for money, mainly because the village collective will sell some of the grain, after all, there is no penny for the whole year, and there is no way to live, and the grain can be spent without money.

But oil and salt and the like definitely cost money.

Sometimes some of the collective income is also divided at the end of the year.

In our village, according to my grandfather's recollection, after building a few workshops with the help of educated youth, the work was quite valuable.

These are mainly adapted to local conditions, and the situation may be different in different villages, some villages can be worth a piece of work, and some villages may only be worth a dime, which is hard to say.

After all, a village that only farms cannot be compared with a village that grows some cash crops, let alone a village that runs a factory.
