Chapter 17 Land Reform in the Village
"Xiao Jiu, come over and finish eating!"
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Bajiu received a call from Liu Yuanzu.
"Good!" After a little hesitation, Liu Bajiu still agreed.
Many times people call you to eat not really to eat, but to tell you something!
"I'll let Yun Chuan pick you up!"
"No need, just a little way, I'll just come over!"
"Aren't you afraid that people will make fun of you?"
"It's good to get used to it, but if you don't show up, it makes them feel rare."
Since you have decided to live at home for a long time, you can't help but see people, there are so many Liu family, the more you hide people, the more curious you are, the more you see, and the more you want to seize the opportunity to say a few words to you.
People, you can't ignore the eyes of others, but don't care too much.
On a rainy day, the road was slippery, and Liu Bajiu took the bamboo cane under the eaves and went down the mountain.
"Eight or nine gongs, your old man has a bamboo cane?"
"Uncle Eighty-Nine, are you going to the ancestor again?"
Liu Bajiu passed through Liujiawan and came to the gate of the courtyard in a burst of yin and yang strange teasing.
The door was not closed, and Liu Bajiu pushed it open.
Liu Yuanzu was smoking a cigarette on the recliner and swaying back and forth, holding a thread-bound book in his hand, although he did not have a long beard, he still looked like a fairy.
"Come and sit down, Yun Chuan said that he had something to discuss with you."
Liu Bajiu nodded, didn't ask anything, and guessed in his heart that it was mostly about land reform.
Looking at the books in the old man's hand, Liu Bajiu asked, "Do we have a lot of books at home, what age are they?" ”
Liu Yuanzu put the book on the table, rubbed the bridge of his nose and said: "Not much, only one hundred and ten copies, most of them are manuscripts from the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are a few previous ones, a roll of bamboo slips and a few jade plates, but there is also a piece of animal bone, but unfortunately no one knows the words on it, not oracle bone inscription!" ”
There are many carriers of writing, all of which can be regarded as books, and the invention of paper is only one or two thousand years.
Liu Bajiu wanted to look through the collection of books, but the old man agreed directly.
After chatting a few words, Liu Yunchuan came.
"Hello Gaozu, the eighth and ninth dukes are here!" Liu Yunchuan came by himself.
"Come and sit!" The old man greeted.
Liu Bajiu nodded with a smile and poured Liu Yunchuan a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Bajiu Gong!" After Liu Yunchuan sat down, he thought about it and smiled: "It's all my own family, then I will have something to say!" ”
"That's great!" Liu Bajiu nodded.
If your family is still tempted repeatedly, then it is not a family.
"Looking for eight or nine dukes to come over, the main thing is the land reform that I said last time, originally with the conditions of our village, the land reform should have been carried out a long time ago, the reason why it has not started until now, the main reason is that we have been pressing and not moving!
As for the reason, the biggest problem lies in the division of interests, and it is easy to say in other aspects, after all, there is already a precedent for land reform, and it is necessary to follow the convention.
But after the land reform, who will take over is a troublesome matter, farming is not profitable, especially planting staple food, but the land reform is a project for food security. ”
Liu Bajiu nodded, since the land reform is a project for food security, after the small fields are changed to large fields that can be cultivated by machines, someone will naturally need to take over the cultivation.
For farmers, there is not much difference between large fields and small fields, even if it is a machine-cultivated field after land reform, farmers will not plant it at all, otherwise they will not abandon it.
However, even if the peasants do not plant, it is impossible for them to plant for others, so they can only introduce enterprises to contract these mechanized fields, which requires the peasants to pay a contract fee.
The state's control over the price of staple grains is very serious, if you can still make a little money by planting cash crops such as sugarcane, then planting rice, wheat and other staple grains is really likely to not even be able to recover the capital.
Even if the state gives a certain amount of subsidies, the subsidies cannot cover the costs, and the subsidies will decrease year by year.
"How did you do it before?" Liu Bajiu asked.
"The contractor is responsible for the next planting, which will take at least three years." Liu Yunchuan said.
Liu Bajiu nodded and asked, "In other words, the money earned from contracting the project can cover the loss of farming for three years?" ”
"Almost, this can't be guaranteed, after all, doing engineering, earning more or less depends on personal ability, and farming needs to depend on the sky!"
Liu Yunchuan smiled bitterly and said: "Just like last year, there was a rare high temperature for more than two consecutive months, and the management of mechanized fields was not so fine, so many agricultural companies lost a lot of money!" ”
It's right to lose money, if it's really so profitable, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for myself to come back and fall on my head.
"How many acres of mechanized farmland are there in our village, and how much is the project money?" Liu Bajiu asked.
"The drawings submitted are 800 meters, plus 200 meters of river repair, a 10-meter-long two-lane bridge, two machine farming roads with a total length of 1,600 meters and a width of 2 meters, and a cement road with two lanes connecting villages, the total project cost is 40 million!
However, the winning bid amount is 7% off, that is, 27 million, which can be operated includes, the entire river trimming project, the thickness of the machine roadbed, the concrete number of the cement road and the thickness of the roadbed.
The profit should be 30%, and at most not more than 40%, but in the end, it still needs to be opened. ”
"That means the profit is between eight million and ten million, and I can get five million to seven million?" Liu Bajiu asked.
"No, the contractor can only get 30%, the rest in addition to the suppliers, the majority needs to be given to the God of Wealth, from the village to the town, the district, there are many places that need to be touched, including the three companies participating in the bidding, they also need rebates, and finally you can get more than 2 million!" Liu Yunchuan explained.
It's just over two million.
In fact, there is not much difference between planting and not planting, if you want to plant well, you need to pay more costs, and in the end it is almost a tie, and the reason why you still have to plant is just to complete the above tasks, so you must plant.
What is losing money is the contract fees paid to the peasants.
The contract fee for 800 mu of land is 400,000 yuan a year, and 1.2 million yuan for three years.
It's almost for nothing.
The point is that these accounts are only theoretical, and it is absolutely impossible to operate them so smoothly.
For example, if a farmer makes trouble with you because of the soil, once the construction period is delayed, the loss is not small, after all, so many machines and personnel need to spend money.
If the location is not calculated in place, for example, during the land reform, due to the terrain and other reasons, the difficulty will also increase, etc., there will also be losses, and if there is an accident in the project, it will be over.
In general, it is calculated to make money, but there are many uncertainties.
"I did it!"
