Li Yuan admits that those slopes really don't get any money. If it is transferred to others for cultivation, it will be a maximum of 20 or 30 pieces per mu of land per year.

At that time, the agricultural Dazhai was also in full swing here, and finally made a half-pull project, leveled a lot of barren mountains, and then ...... Gave up. Later, when the mountains were divided, it was these barren mountains that were divided.

It's not for any other reason. The lakes and rivers in the cols are staggering, but the slopes are irrigated at all. So, what is missing here is a reservoir, preferably a small hydropower.

Where do so many good things come from? Who will invest in this poor mountain and water?

Therefore, those slopes depend on the sky for food. If the wind and rain are good, the yield is okay. But if something happens, it's easy to lose it.

However, Li Yuan didn't care about the dozens of dollars at all. Why is my mother so desperate? My son wants you to do less work!

"Mom, listen to me, it's enough to water the ground." Li Yuan simply didn't discuss it, and made a decision directly.

Zhang Zhen frowned: "Fate, the land was given to someone else?" If there is no ration, what should our family eat? ”

"Isn't there still water to water the ground?" Li Yuan couldn't complain, "Mom, next year there will only be you and the little girl left in the house, how much rations will you have to keep?" ”

"What should I do with the public rations?"

"If it's not enough, won't you spend money to buy it? And our family's watering of the ground, rations plus public food must be enough! Li Yuan has become a little angry.

"What about the money from the sale of grain every year? Is this the most stable income in the family? ”

Li Yuan directly took a bite of old blood. Because he knew how the peasants had been selling grain in recent years. Quite sad. Because what was received was not money at all, but - a blank slip!

In fact, when it comes to paying public grain, the real one should be called - paying public to buy grain.

At present, the state has not yet liberalized the purchase and sale of staple grains, and it must be traded through the grain bureau, otherwise it will be speculation. That's against the law.

Paying public grain means that the peasants pay a fixed amount every year, and there is no money to take it. The grain purchased is the part of the peasants' surplus grain, which can be sold to the grain bureau at an annual price. Of course, the purchase price is very impressive, and the amount of grain purchased by the public is mandatory, and it will be distributed to each peasant household, which is the state purchase target that must be fulfilled.

Of course, if there are more, they can also be sold to the local grain bureau at the same price.

Here, we will not discuss the black market issues such as rabbit markets and bazaars. The vast majority of farmers are still very honest and can't find a way to the black market, even if the pricing is a bit bullying, their first choice is still the grain bureau.

But the current problem is that the public will buy the grain, at least you can see the money. I didn't expect to even get cash, only white slips? As a result, there is no money to buy seeds and fertilizers?

It was not until a few years later that the government finally made up its mind to solve the problem of blank stripes in a unified manner and completely liberalize grain management, and the public purchase of grain became a thing of the past, and it was turned into agricultural taxes and various retention funds. And so the situation ...... It gets worse.

But that's another story. Leave that for the time being.

It was not until later, when the agricultural tax was completely abolished, and later there were agricultural subsidies, that the peasants' small life gradually eased up......

It's all in vain, how can you have a stable income?

But now there is no way to reach those high-level policy issues, and the imminent burden reduction campaign!

Since my mother is clinging to the land and refuses to let go, let's put it aside for the time being and solve other problems first!

"Mom, let's not talk about this yet. Let's talk about the big animals in the family! Even if the cow is forgotten, it will be used to plough the land. Let's sell all the horses, mules, and donkeys! ”

Serving those big animals is also very hard work.

Zhang Zhen's eyes widened in astonishment: "What are you talking about?" Sold? Do you want to sell all the horses? ”

"Didn't you just say rotten at home? We can't sell herbs, so what's the use of raising horses? ”

"What if it will be useful in the future? Anyway, it's not allowed to sell. Zhang Zhen directly played a scoundrel.

"Good. That mule was sold, right? ”

"Mule mom works. In the future, the commune will rush to the market, and you can still carry some things. ”

“…… And what about donkeys? ”

"Donkeys want to grind, who made you greedy since you were a child, and you like to eat tofu the most?"

Li Yuan directly took a mouthful of old blood: "I'm going to the capital, don't you need it?" ”

"What's wrong with the capital? Everything is expensive. I'm afraid you can't afford to eat tofu. When the time comes, you can take the donkey with you. ”

Li Yuan felt dizzy for a while. Riding a donkey to the capital by yourself? That picture is too beautiful? Already comparable to Uncle Avanti?

Li Yuan understands that this is his mother making trouble unreasonably. He forcibly held back his temperament and continued to persuade: "What about pigs and sheep? None of this is needed, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if the sheep are released to graze every day."

"What about pigs?"

"Pigs are going to be killed during the New Year. I have already agreed with a few families, let's raise it together, and when the time comes, we will share a point with a few families. ”

In Yutouao Village, some families do not raise pigs. And the portion of the New Year's pig is too large for a family to eat. There is no refrigerator here, and the rest of the pork is not easy to preserve.

So several families will discuss and raise together. When the pigs are killed during the New Year, they will share the pigs together. Several other households will subsidize the farmers with a nominal amount of money.

Li Yuan was almost not angry: "Mom, what about chickens, ducks and geese?" ”

"Those are for laying eggs. In the past, the family relied on the money from selling eggs. ”

Li Yuan finally understood, Mom, this is an iron rooster! She couldn't bear even an acre of land or a mouthful of livestock.

Gu Yuqin on the side also couldn't help but want to laugh, this is so funny for mother and son.

"Mom, Yuanzi, you discuss first, and I'll come when I go." At this time, Gu Yuqin wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

"Don't be busy." Li Yuan hurriedly stopped Gu Yuqin, and now he can only seek off-site assistance, "Qinqin, tell me, should the family's livestock be sold?" ”

Gu Yuqin held back a smile, her eyes rolled: "I said——! Mom, Yuanzi is filial to you. But well...... I'm rooting for Mom. Hee-hee. Without further ado, I'm going to pickle vegetables, and there are still more than half of yesterday's wild vegetables. Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Seeing that the little daughter-in-law wanted to escape, and she became a little traitor in person? Li Yuan suddenly became anxious: "What kind of pickled vegetables?" Don't you go ......."

The sauerkraut is all beriberi, and there will be people who will eat pickles this year?

"If we don't pickle a little more now, what should we eat in winter? Anyway, I'll get busy first. Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

It was like a flash of lightning appeared in his mind, and Li Yuan suddenly heard "winter pickles"? His eyes lit up, and a new idea immediately popped into his mind.

"Qin Qin, don't be busy! Listen to it with your mother, is this what I think? ”
