Chapter 84: Landlords and Models (Ask for Collection、...

"New villages" is the focus of the three rural revolutions, the layout of each new village has been carefully researched and planned, according to the actual situation of each region, the lower limit of its number of people is not less than 1,000 people, the upper limit is not more than 10,000 people. In addition to agricultural apartments and rural villas, each village has kindergartens, primary schools, health centers, supply and marketing cooperatives, agricultural technology stations, warehouses, mills, sports fields, canteens, mechanical and electrical maintenance offices, radio and movie studios and other public facilities. Of course, there are also government power agencies such as village offices, public security joint defense, and militia.

The project of "merging villages with villages" is a very large project, and a considerable number of new buildings need to be built, so now the entire liberated area has become a large construction site, and the number of cement factories, sand and gravel factories, and building materials factories has increased by hundreds. Although it may seem like a huge project now, it will save too much compared to the various resources that will be wasted in the future due to the unreasonable layout of the village. Not to mention, the reduction of grass-roots administrative personnel and administrative costs due to the "integration of villages", as well as the improved management efficiency.

The most important thing is that after "merging villages with villages", it is most conducive to breaking the feudal clan relationship and completely smashing the clan power system in the countryside. Because "merging villages and villages" is not the migration of the whole village, but the migration of small families, the villagers of the same natural village may be divided into multiple different new villages, especially those big surnames and big families will be dismantled, and they will be distributed across villages, and even across townships, counties, and prefectures may be distributed across provinces.

Moreover, this distribution will also be split according to class, and the original clan chiefs, elders, former gentry, and powerful families of those natural villages will be dismantled and then distributed to a new village to isolate them from the original clan and fellow villagers, so that some "patriarch villages" and "landlord villages" will be formed. The villagers of these "landlord villages" and "patriarch villages" are all the original grassroots ruling class, and now they are thrown together, these old men are dumbfounded, there is no manpower to mobilize, they are just a fart, the neighbors used to be masters, who can have more face than whom?

Even if they wanted to make a name for themselves with each other, it would be impossible. The management of this kind of "landlord village" and "patriarch's village" is much stricter, and there are only militias in the "civilian new village", but there are regular troops stationed here, and of course they will be replaced by armed police in the future, and the iron fist of the dictatorship will not allow them to do whatever they want. Besides, those who can be assigned to live in the "landlord villages" are all "good gentry" who do not have any great evils in ordinary times, and landlords who can cooperate with the revolution and know the current affairs, and these people are relatively easy to manage.

Those "local tyrants and gentry" with bad deeds and guys who don't know the current affairs are not qualified to live in, these people are all in various construction sites or "labor camps", even if their relatives who have not committed any crimes are also afraid, for fear of being liquidated, they are also very honest in it, and they dare not try the bottom line of the Science and Technology Party again. In the CSD, there is no such thing as "the law does not hold the people accountable", like those notorious bandit villages and bandit villages, but the entire village was executed and sentenced. It is true that the CSOC led by Moon-Tak does not like killing, but that is only because they think that this practice is unprofitable and inefficient, not that they dare not or will not kill.

Although most of these people in the "landlord village" are "good gentry", they will not be allowed to continue to stay in their hometown, which is not a question of believing or not believing, but a necessary system. On the one hand, this practice of centralized resettlement is to cut off their social relations and completely disappear their influence in their original places of origin, and on the other hand, it is convenient to control them and carry out brainwashing and transformation. There is also an inconvenient purpose, which is to serve as an example for other "civilian new villages".

To tell the truth, compared with ordinary peasants, these former ruling class are indeed much more sophisticated, they have read a little bit of books, and most of them are much stronger than ordinary peasants in terms of flexibility, knowledge, and management ability, and are more receptive to new things.

Of course, the most important thing is that these people have a lot of capital, and the government compensated them during the land reform. Which family can live in a "landlord's village" without a few hundred acres of land? According to the compensation of 1o to 5 o yuan per mu of cultivated land and 1 to 1o yuan per mu of mountains and forests, every family has at least 10,000 yuan in compensation. Moreover, the land reform was only a forced purchase of land, and the livestock and floating wealth did not touch them.

These people are accustomed to being pampered and pampered, and it is absolutely reluctant for them to work honestly with their backs to the loess like the lower-class peasants, but now there is no one to call for them around, so how can this be done? As a result, many of these flexible-minded fellows no longer engage in agriculture and simply take out their assets to invest in industry and commerce, and these people have all applied for a change of urban household registration, and all of them have gone to the city to set up factories and do business.

However, there are still many people who are not familiar with industry and commerce, have doubts, or only want to engage in agriculture in this life. This part of the population continues to stay in the countryside, but it also makes them come up with a way to be lazy, and that is technology.

Since they have more capital, they can naturally buy more advanced scientific and technological products, such as automobiles, tractors, seeders, harvesters, threshers, rice transplanters, automatic drinking machines, feeders and other means of transportation, agricultural machinery and animal husbandry machinery. Of course, a family is not enough to buy all the things, and there is no need for this, after all, the family now has a maximum of more than a dozen acres of land. However, they quickly accepted the "cooperative group" system introduced by the CSD, in which a dozen or dozens of companies formed a "cooperative group" to buy all the machinery and vehicles they needed.

As a result, these "landlord villages" became the first places to realize mechanized agriculture outside of state farms, and these people quickly tasted the benefits of technology. Under the guidance of the agricultural technology station, whether it is field operations or livestock and poultry breeding, all have a bumper harvest. Although I have less land now than in the past, my income is still higher than before. This surprised them, but they could not help but become more convinced and identified with the Science and Technology Socialist Party.

In fact, this is not surprising, in the past, the yield per mu was generally only a few dozen catties to 200 catties, and how much could be collected by collecting land rent? Even if one mu of land received 200 catties, only 200,000 catties of land would be collected for 1,000 mu, and even if half of the land rent was collected, it would only be 100,000 catties, and not all of these incomes could be obtained. You must know that when the tax collectors collect taxes and apportion, they first look for these landlords, except for a very small number of large landlords who are extravagant, they can not buy the accounts of local officials, and ordinary small and medium-sized landlords cannot run away at all. Although they are better off than ordinary farmers, I am afraid that it is not necessarily how good they are.

In particular, "apportionment", this thing is specially prepared for the gentry and landlords, and ordinary people are not eligible to "enjoy". There are not a few landlords who have been put bankrupt. There is also "official service", that is, all kinds of errands, such as forced labor and tax collection, are "contracted" to the landlords, so that they can collect taxes and organize labor, and if they do not do well, they have to pay for themselves.

This does not sound difficult, but the peasants are not all as pure and simple as some propaganda materials say, and there has never been a shortage of people who resist rent and taxes, and not every landlord has raised armed families and professional thugs. When encountering this kind of thing, most of them can only be blind, not to mention those who really can't pay it, or those who evade taxes and services, then there is no way. It is not uncommon for the landlords and gentry to be forced into bankruptcy by "official service". Of course, this kind of "official service" is not a problem at all for those "local tyrants and inferior gentry" who have no discipline, but is a means of money. This is also an important reason why since the end of the Qing Dynasty, "bad money drives out good money", and the rural gentry has gradually deteriorated.

But now it was different, and the CSD abolished all the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the assessments and servitude that most frightened the landlords and gentry. The agricultural tax was only 30 percent, and although the nominal tax rate was higher than that of the Qing court (the Qing Dynasty never relied on regular taxes to live), other strange taxes and miscellaneous taxes and apportionments were gone, and even the thousands of years of conscription were abolished, and the burden was much less.

In addition to the good seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides provided by the government of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, one acre of land can easily produce 1,000 catties, and if you are careful, the yield per mu is 1,4500 yuan, even if a family only has a dozen acres of land, it is not a problem to collect 20,000 catties, and after paying the regular tax, more than 10,000 catties will be returned to your own family, which is completely unimaginable in the past.

Of course, the main income still comes from various side businesses such as livestock and poultry, aquaculture, etc., which have a variety of improved breeds, modern breeding methods, as well as nutritious mixed feed, and drugs to prevent epidemics. Coupled with the use of various scientific and technological products, the income is more than several times that of farming in a year.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in eastern Sichuan and Hubei, where the three rural revolutions were carried out at the earliest, at least seven of the ten model villages were "landlord villages". Of course, when propagating, their identities are naturally ignored, and only their use of advanced production methods and the benefits of cultural knowledge are emphasized.

After the natural village was split and reorganized according to class, because there were no previous patriarchs, gentry and other leading figures, and many families who were strangers to each other were grouped together, it was not easy to get together, so the "civilian village" became much easier to manage. From a psychological point of view, it is always easier for people to obey authority when they go to an unfamiliar environment, and the greatest authority of the new village is naturally the village government, which has mastered the administrative power and the armed force.

Without the constraints of the clan, the implementation of various policies and measures is very smooth. The main purpose of the CSD in carrying out the revolution of agriculture, rural areas and rural areas is to completely abolish the model of small-scale peasant economy in the rural areas of the country, realize "large-scale" and "intensive" industrial production, and eventually turn traditional peasants into "agricultural workers" and rural areas into modern farms.

At present, each new village is divided into a number of "cooperative groups", led by grassroots cadres and backbone cadres (mainly veterans) to engage in production, and when they have tasted the sweetness of "scale", they do not need to be led. Interests will drive them to do it consciously and voluntarily, of course, in the past few years, the grassroots cadres have worked very hard.
